Chapter 1715 1716 turns into a battle

"The ammunition is here!" A dwarf soldier carried a box of bullets and walked back to the position where his troops were stationed. The surrounding area was full of dilapidated buildings, and the darkness of the evening made the place look extremely hideous.

No one answered him. In the darkness, a hand reached out and took the box of bullets. Several dwarf soldiers squatted in the corner with their weapons in their arms, like wandering ghosts.

Everyone was in a bad mood because while this soldier was looking for ammunition, the position next to them had been lost.

The Tang army dispatched armed helicopters, and then launched an attack after artillery preparation. They didn't even use tanks to assault, and they occupied the large-looking building that had collapsed by one-third.

Only three or four dwarf soldiers escaped, the rest were killed, and the only anti-tank rocket launcher on the battlefield was also missing.

According to the soldiers who escaped back, the Tang army had at least 30 people and carried a large amount of weapons and ammunition. It seemed unlikely that they would be able to recapture the building.

In the afternoon, this place also came under attack. The Tang army came to try to cause trouble. Seven or eight dwarves died, and it seemed that one person on the Tang army side was also killed. Both sides had no intention of fighting anymore, so they temporarily ceased fire.

But everyone knows that night is the truly terrifying time. The Tang army, which has a technological advantage, is likely to launch a night attack, and the dwarves' combat effectiveness at night is not as good as during the day.

This torture exhausted the dwarf defenders, as they had to arrange more soldiers to patrol and guard at night to offset the Tang army's night vision advantage.

No one was in a good mood after losing seven or eight comrades. Everyone was worried that the Tang army would come to cause trouble at night, after all, they were running low on ammunition.

"It's good to have you back." Finally, someone said thank you when distributing ammunition, which made the dwarf soldier who went back to find ammunition feel a little better.

He took great pains to get a box of bullets from the rear, which contained about two or three hundred rounds. This was all the support the troops in the rear could provide.

"There are still no reinforcements over there, right?" The dwarf platoon leader was holding a PPSh submachine gun, so he had no chance of getting these rifle bullets.

The submachine gun uses pistol bullets, and the platoon leader still has about fifty or sixty rounds, which sounds like a lot, but it is definitely not a lot either.

"No, I asked them for it, but they said they really didn't have it." The dwarf soldier shook his head. There were several people at the regiment headquarters waiting for reinforcements. He really couldn't compare with these people in terms of misery.

In order to win sympathy, several companies or battalions on the front line sent their wounded soldiers for reinforcement. It looked so miserable: some had bandages on their heads, and some had their arms in slings. As a man with all his limbs intact, he really couldn't get anything decent if he returned.

Thinking of this, he decided to remind his platoon leader: "Platoon leader, those who go to ask for things are all injured soldiers, wrapped in bandages, and that's the only way to play the victim."

"You're the only one who understands! You're the only one who understands! If I bring a wounded soldier back, how can he carry the ammunition back?" The platoon leader scolded him angrily, making the dwarf soldier stop talking.

"I know you're doing this for our own good, but you also know that it's hard for brothers to survive after being wounded, and we have no medicine..." The platoon leader sighed and explained, "So, when we retreated the day before yesterday, we left all the wounded to the Tang people." He heard that the Tang people were willing to treat the captured and wounded, and the leaflets said they were willing to accept civilians, hoping that the dwarf garrison could hand over the civilians and the wounded to them. In the eyes of this platoon leader, dying is serving the country with loyalty, but being injured and not being treated is another matter.

He left all his people behind in the lost position. Those brothers with broken arms and legs were on the Tang side, so perhaps they had a chance to survive.

Several dwarf soldiers divided up the bullets in the ammunition box. They disassembled the bullets and installed them on the ammunition belt, preparing 100 rounds of ammunition for the machine gun first. The remaining bullets were divided among everyone, ten or eight rounds each, so there were not many left.

There are also some bullets that need to be brought to friendly forces in other corners of the trenches. In short, on average each person has less than ten bullets, which is actually a pitiful number.

The standard amount of ammunition carried is 85 rounds. If the fighting is fierce, soldiers often carry 40 more rounds, increasing the amount of ammunition carried to more than 120 rounds.

But now the dwarf front-line combat troops can only carry between 30 and 50 rounds of ammunition, which is actually far from the standard amount of ammunition.

The same goes for grenades. Previously, the dwarves required each soldier to carry two grenades, and the company-level troops had to stockpile several boxes of ammunition. But now this number is simply not available, and a soldier can only have one grenade at most.

Many recruits have not even received grenade throwing training, so they are not qualified to use grenades. There are many recruits who die before they even touch them.

As time went by, visibility dropped sharply. This is in the north, and it was already very dark at around six or seven in the evening.

This is often the time when the Tang army would launch an attack, and the dwarf guard troops would be on high alert at this time.

"Boom!" Irregular artillery sounds were heard in the distance. The Tang army was destroying some threatening buildings according to the coordinates. In order to cooperate with their own actions, this kind of artillery bombardment would often be carried out when the battlefield was relatively quiet.

In order to hide the noise made by the attacking troops, artillery strikes are a good choice. As long as the battlefield environment is noisy enough, some less obvious sounds will be insignificant.

Using this method, the Tang army could easily cover up the sound of gunfire after the attacking troops installed silencers. This tactic was very annoying to the dwarves.

"Here we go again..." Hearing the sound of artillery nearby, the platoon leader's face turned extremely ugly. This thing kept firing all night, making it impossible for the dwarves to rest and sleep properly. It was simply disgusting.

But where he couldn't see, the Tang army's attack had already begun. Under the cover of night, the Tang army wearing night vision goggles reached the front of the dwarf position. They used weapons equipped with silencers to clear the way and easily killed the dwarf's sentry post.

Then these Tang soldiers climbed into the trenches and began to clear out the dwarf soldiers inside who were unaware that the enemy was approaching.

They killed one after another until a dwarf soldier alertly discovered the invaders, and the massacre turned into a real battle.
