Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1855 1856 Half City Smoke

"Bang!" With a dull sound, a soldier of the Lions Empire fired a rifle grenade at the Tang army position in the distance behind the barricade.

His rifle grenade was mounted on the muzzle of a rifle and fired using ammunition similar to blank bullets, throwing a grenade to a distance for attack.

This thing was inspired by the Tang Empire's rifle grenades, but compared with the Tang Empire's grenade launchers, the technology is quite primitive.

But no matter how primitive it was, on such a battlefield, it could still cause trouble to the Tang Empire's troops. The grenade exploded on the other side of the street, leaving the Tang soldiers behind several sandbags covered in dust.

In fact, it was just a mess... The accuracy of this thing is really not good. If you are hit by this thing, it only means that this person's luck is really too bad.

Taking advantage of the riots of Yucheng civilians, the Tang army entered the city and established a huge bridgehead in the city. The coalition forces were caught off guard and could only hold their existing positions to prevent the Tang army from further expanding the occupied area.

The two sides fought fiercely in several streets, and because the coalition forces still had the advantage in terms of troop strength, the street fighting was quite stalemate.

"Damn it! Can't these bastards just surrender honestly?" Spitting out the dust in his mouth, the Tang army soldier behind the sandbags cursed and loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher under his rifle.

The accuracy of his grenade launcher was much better than that of the opponent. He aimed at the opponent's barricade through the gap in the sandbags and pulled the trigger decisively.

"Bang!" With the same dull sound, the grenade accurately hit the sandbag on the opposite side and exploded between the sandbag and the wreckage of the abandoned bus.

The seven or eight soldiers of the Lions Empire who were hiding here immediately fell to the ground in a bloody mess, and the remaining soldiers also lost their combat effectiveness in the explosion.

On the other side of the barricade, the machine gun in the firing hole was still roaring. It seemed that it could remain so arrogant for a while before the heavy firepower of the Tang army arrived.

There was no other way. The battle here had been going on for more than an hour, and the rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles carried by the Tang Army light infantry had been exhausted. Now the Tang Army soldiers had no way to deal with the barricades, so they were stopped here.

They had just called for armored support, but the nearest tank would take at least an hour to reach the block, and the artillery could not cover this place due to the angle, so the troops of the Lions Empire seemed to have stabilized the defense line here.

"Let them be arrogant for a while! When the tanks come, I'll see how they die!" Another Tang army infantryman leaned against the sandbags, loading bullets into his magazine while complaining non-stop.

The other side didn't seem to have any good way to deal with the Tang army soldiers who attacked here: the rifle grenade just now was one of the few useful weapons in the hands of the Lions Empire soldiers.

After firing this grenade, the enemy only had machine gun fire as a way to suppress the Tang army. I guess the enemy didn't arrange a few mortars on the barricade, otherwise the Tang army would have abandoned this position and retreated long ago.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, hundreds of reinforcements from the Lions Empire began to enter the position on the other side of the barricade. In the city of Yucheng, the Lions Empire's troops still had an absolute advantage in manpower. At least Paul still had a sufficient number of reserve troops, and the main force of the coalition was still there, and the combat effectiveness was still online.

Dorne also received a request from the Lions Empire and sent three divisions of troops into the city to help suppress the civilian riots in Jade City. Now the chaos in the coalition-controlled area has gradually subsided, and the streets are almost full of troops.

Without the interference of civilians, the coalition forces in Yucheng moved very quickly. They blocked the way for the attacking Tang army, or in other words, they held the remaining defense line in their hands.

The Tang army had to stop the attack because they did not have many troops to break into the city. In the eyes of the coalition forces, their defense was effective.

Therefore, the morale of the coalition forces, who thought they had stabilized the situation, soared, and they even launched a series of counterattacks, causing a lot of trouble for the Tang army in the city.

But after a day and night of fierce fighting between the two sides, the commander of the coalition forces, Paul, realized that it was impossible for him to drive the Tang army out of Yucheng.

There were about 5000 casualties in front of him, and he could not afford such a loss. Even on the entire front of Da Mao and Er Mao, the number of casualties in one day would not reach this high.

If he lost 5000 men every day, he would only have enough troops to last him a few months. But this was a real war, not a math game: it was impossible for his troops to die one after another until they were all dead. As long as his troops lost more than %, they would be in danger of collapse at any time.

"We are here to support you! What's the situation?" The battalion commander of the Lions Empire troops who had just arrived at the position met the commander of the friendly forces guarding the barricade.

The commander was also a battalion commander, his face still blackened by gunpowder. He put his hand on his helmet and briefly introduced the battle situation: "The Tang army on the opposite side has been suppressed by us for the time being. They stopped attacking, and I don't know whether they are preparing to retreat or waiting for their tanks."

They all knew that once the enemy's tanks appeared on the opposite side of the barricade, the block would basically be lost.

As for why the Tang army's tanks haven't arrived yet... the new battalion commander knows some reasons: "Their tanks can't get here that fast. We just lost several nearby blocks. We blew up some buildings before retreating... I guess the Tang army is cleaning up the ruins and can't get here for a while."

In fact, the Tang army could have taken a detour, but the battlefield situation was complicated and taking a detour would also take time. That's why it took more than an hour for the armored forces to arrive to support the Tang army.

"How many people did you bring? Do you have a rocket launcher?" The battalion commander guarding the barricade touched his pocket and found that his cigarette was finished.

The new battalion commander also seemed to be a heavy smoker. When he saw the other party's actions, he knew that the other party was looking for cigarettes, and he took out a cigarette box from his pocket with a smile.

This kind of cigarette is a specialty of the Lions Empire, a very famous civilian cigarette. This thing is very popular among soldiers, but as the war progresses, the quality of this brand of cigarettes is really getting worse day by day.
