Chapter 1518: 1519 It will be dawn
Chapter 1518 1519 The sky will be bright
Cao Fei was on a destroyed position, using his high-power lens to look at the dwarf troops moving in the distance. The reason why he didn't fire was because a few minutes ago, the sniper on the dwarf side wounded a Tang Army soldier, and he was still waiting for the other party to reveal his position.
There are too many people on the other side, and there are moving targets everywhere. It is really not easy to find the other side's gunman in this situation.
He is very patient because he does not need to fire to deal with the worthless common dwarf soldiers. He just had to wait patiently for the dangerous dwarf sniper to fire first.
The flares in the sky gradually dimmed, and the scary armed helicopter finally ran out of ammunition and left. The dwarf troops suffered heavy losses and were unable to organize an effective attack in a short period of time.
At this time, the dwarf sniper hiding in the dark became the top threat that Cao Fei needed to take care of.
"I didn't see any suspicious targets." The observer holding a low-light night vision device and looking for the target said to Cao Fei, who was wearing a ghillie suit: "The other party should be an old sniper."
He is right. During the war between the dwarves and the elves, the dwarves trained many experienced snipers. They are elites who have survived countless defeats, and their combat effectiveness is certainly terrifying.
It’s just that the Tang Army’s snipers are not in vain. Death-like Tang Army shooters can be encountered everywhere on the battlefield. The Tang Army’s team tactics even include the position of precision shooter.
It was the Tang Army that developed sniper tactics to its peak. Each army had its own precision shooters. Once these precision shooters were upgraded, they would become ordinary snipers. Only the elite of this group of snipers could act alone like Cao Fei. .
“Bang!…Bang!” In the dark night, a long line of light rose again. After reaching its highest point, it exploded and illuminated everything nearby.
The dwarves fired flares again, but did not organize a larger-scale attack. There was smoke everywhere on their position, which was the trace left by the Tang Army's grenade launch just now.
The Tang Army, which has already landed heavy weapons, even has mortar support, which is undoubtedly bad news for the dwarves.
Because as more and more heavy weapons come ashore, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army will become stronger and stronger, and the dwarves' counterattack will become increasingly weak.
It will be daybreak soon, and this period of darkness before dawn is the dwarves' last chance to counterattack. After a brief silence, the dwarf troops began to attack again.
This time they did not swarm forward, but used small groups of troops to explore forward, bit by bit towards the Tang army's position.
Just as these dwarves were slowly advancing forward, a cannonball suddenly fell on the position controlled by the Tang State. After a ear-piercing roar, the huge explosion caused Cao Fei, who was far away from the impact point of the shell, to feel the earth tremble beneath him.
200 mm caliber heavy artillery! Cao Fei judged the size of the cannonball just from the earth-shattering sound of the cannonball explosion. The dwarves finally got their own artillery support! And it’s heavy artillery support!
About 10 kilometers away from here, on a rotatable turret, the barrel of the second 200 mm caliber gun suddenly sat back, and a dazzling fire erupted from the muzzle.
The second shell crossed a distance of 10 kilometers and hit a reinforced concrete bunker with great momentum. It blew off the cover of the bunker and blew away a section of the trench reinforced with cement. The ground shook and the mountains shook. The nearby Tang Army was shaken to pieces, and the Tang Army soldiers where the shells hit suffered even more casualties. The medical soldiers rushed nervously into the smoke that had not completely subsided. The Tang Army soldiers who were replenishing ammunition quickly got up from the ground, carrying the ammunition boxes and continued running towards their troops.
"The dwarves are starting to react, and their artillery fire is getting more and more intense." Cao Fei said to his observer hand while looking through the scope at the dwarf soldiers who had advanced dozens of meters.
Soon these dwarf soldiers crossed the fire cordon of the Tang Army. A Tang Army soldier fired his rifle, and a bullet flew over the corpses on the ground and directly penetrated the heart of a dwarf soldier.
The dwarf soldier screamed and fell down, but the other dwarves did not flinch, but continued to move forward, bit by bit towards the Tang army's position.
The battlefield was littered with corpses, and the blood had even turned the soft soil beneath their feet into mud. The dried blood began to thicken and harden, and the air was filled with the smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke.
Two Intruder attack planes roared past, and the loud noise of their engines could still be heard clearly on the noisy battlefield. When passing the dwarf force's battle line, these two planes did not drop bombs, and they did not look back. He rushed into the distance, not knowing what target he was attacking.
Cao Fei didn't know what target these planes were going to hit. He only knew that since the two invaders flew overhead, the dwarf's 200 mm caliber artillery shells had never fallen again.
He waited quietly, waiting for the gunner hiding among the dwarf soldiers to fire again, but until the sky began to turn white, he did not wait for the chance to fire.
Another attack by the dwarves was defeated because a Type 96 main battle tank drove to the position. The dwarves had no way to deal with this steel monster, so in the end all counterattacks stopped.
Facing such a monster that cannot be defeated at all, the dwarves' reaction is also normal: even if they invest more troops, they can't do anything to the tank, so they simply give up.
They have to wait for the subsequent armored forces to arrive before finding a way to launch a new round of attack. But the frontline commanders of these dwarves all knew that once dawn came and more armed helicopters from the Tang Army appeared, it would be hard to say whether their tanks would be able to function.
Things were indeed not as they expected. As soon as the sky turned white, two armed helicopters from the Tang Army appeared above the battlefield.
The other party fired rockets at the area where the dwarves were gathering, and then plowed the ground with the cannon on the plane until they ran out of ammunition before leaving calmly.
The dwarf troops, which lacked anti-aircraft firepower, once again suffered huge losses, but fortunately, their tanks arrived later and were not attacked, and their combat effectiveness was still intact.
Five new tanks from the Ice Empire! They will cooperate with the dwarf infantry to launch a new attack and regain the positions lost during the night!
