Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 278 Chapter 278
"Boom!" Compared with the artillery preparations of the Gemelin Kingdom, the artillery fire of the Northridge Army was obviously more violent.

Terrible artillery fire covered the entire position, with black smoke rising everywhere, steaming craters everywhere, and collapsed trenches everywhere.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Gemelin thought that the artillery fire they used when they attacked the border defense line of the Kingdom of Wright was already the most powerful firepower in the world, but now they realized their ignorance.

Facts have proved that they lacked imagination. The ferocious shelling in front of them completely overturned their imagination.

Northridge's troops have 30 cannons, all of which are new types of artillery with higher rates of fire, better accuracy, longer range, and more powerful shells.

Although the Kingdom of Gemelin has a 130mm caliber recoil gun, the rate of fire of that thing every few minutes, as well as its terrible self-weight, cannot provide timely and effective fire support at all.

It's okay to hit some fixed targets on the border, but once you need to accompany the troops to attack, it becomes complete garbage.

Now, Northridge's 105mm breech-loading howitzer is the real king on the battlefield.

"Boom!" Another high-throwing ballistic shell landed almost vertically on the position of Gemelin's troops, raising a cloud of dust and shaking the ground.

The aggrieved Gemelin soldiers could only curl up in the hastily dug trenches, waiting tragically for the enemy to end the shelling.

In fact, their trenches have only learned a little, which is probably equivalent to digging trenches on the ground, and the protection effect is almost zero.

However, they have obviously learned a lot compared to when they launched an offensive in the border area.At least, they will no longer be crowded together in a square formation and confront the enemy on the plain.

It is a pity that the Northridge troops on the opposite side did not seem to intend to use traditional tactics to fight them. After a round of intensive artillery preparations, the Northridge infantry began to attack.

Accompanied by a piercing, long whistle that made people feel a little palpitating, there was a shout of orders on the ground: "Attack!" "Attack!"

All the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gmelin were waiting, waiting to use the trick they had just learned to shoot while lying down in the trenches, to hit the soldiers of the Kingdom of Wright on the opposite side.

In the end, what they waited for was a stunned scene: the North Ridge troops on the opposite side did not form a square formation to attack at all, but scattered when they came up, like a group of stragglers.

However, this group of damned stragglers... is really not that easy to target.They broke up into small groups, covering each other, some firing from behind makeshift cover, some attacking with a stoop, not seeing any so-called courage.

After finally aiming at a target, the target quickly disregarded his appearance and fell down in the dirty soil, never to be seen again.

"Damn it, what kind of attack is this?" A veteran of the Gemelin Kingdom finally fired a shot, but missed the target, and complained angrily.

The other party has obviously been trained in this area. They are running an S-shaped route without any rules at all, and in most cases, they are simply crawling on the ground.

Soon, many soldiers on the defense line of the Gemelin Kingdom had already understood the opponent's tactics.A soldier couldn't help but ask his companions beside him, "Are they all crawling on the ground?"

"Damn... we can't see them at all!" Another soldier fired a hasty shot, retreated into the position, and reloaded his rifle while cursing.

The loading of the needle gun is actually very troublesome, after all, they have to clean the barrel.This kind of weapon actually has obvious shortcomings, but it is much more advanced than the flintlock.

These poor Gmelin's soldiers have never fought such a weird battle, and they have no experience in dealing with the situation at hand.

Some smart people realized at this time that the original method of dealing with the attack of the trench system should be like the enemy in front of them, dispersing the attack...

It's a pity that they have no way to experiment with this kind of thing in reverse, because they have to repel the enemy in front of them first.

"Over there!" A sharp-eyed soldier of the Kingdom of Gemelin shouted excitedly when he saw the enemy army jumping up and charging two steps forward in the distance.

When he and the soldiers around him moved their guns over to aim at the target over there, these jumping enemy soldiers fell to the ground again, and then they were no longer seen.

"It's up again over there!" On the other side, the soldiers of the Gemelin Kingdom in the trench shouted again.

Accompanied by his yell, those Beiling soldiers who bowed their waists and rushed to the vicinity fell down again without a trace.

The front of the position is full of craters blasted by shells. As long as these soldiers rush into these natural bunkers, the opponent will no longer be able to deal with them.

The Northridge soldiers in the crater poked their heads out from the edge of the crater very skillfully, and looked at the enemy trenches that were already close at hand.

"Bayonet on! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!" In the enemy trenches not far away, Gemelin's officers have already begun to order to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.Their commands were so clear, so clear.

"It's about 24 meters by visual inspection! It's within the coverage area!" The Northridge soldier retracted and looked at the comrades on standby behind him. While expressing his own judgment, he made a fist gesture and opened his thumb , swung forward suddenly.

All the soldiers nodded neatly, and then they pulled out the wooden-handled grenade from their waists, unscrewed the safety cover, pulled out the fuze inside, and gave each other a look.

When everyone was ready, they yanked the fuse together, then rushed forward, throwing the iron lump in their hands.

In the terrified eyes of the Gmelin soldiers, a cloud of small black dots flew up in front of them, and then these small black dots became bigger in their sight... and fell to the ground.

They lowered their heads along the way, and saw an iron bump with a wooden handle hitting their feet, with light smoke still floating from the end.

Before they could react, the iron bumps exploded, engulfing everything in the trench in an instant.

Huge explosions continued in the dark in the trenches, and one after another smoke pillars shot up into the sky from the left and right sides of the trenches.

The ground seemed to be trembling, and the soldiers in the trenches were shaken by the tragic shock wave.They were still preparing for hand-to-hand combat just now, but the enemy just used a completely new tactic unreasonably, kicking off the prelude to the offensive and defensive battle.

Gmelin's soldiers, who were suppressed by the grenades, were already dizzy at this moment. They didn't know why, but the enemy's artillery fire suddenly became ten times more violent.

The huge explosions were all concentrated near the trenches, and some grenades that happened to be thrown into the trenches caused huge casualties to these Gmelin soldiers in an instant.

Before the soldiers who were knocked to the ground by the explosion had time to get up, they saw figures jumping into the trench where they were.

Immediately afterwards, they heard intensive gunshots—the opponent's troops were equipped with a large number of revolvers, which were much more useful than lever rifles in small trenches.

Of course, this does not mean that the Northridge troops are not equipped with lever rifles. On the contrary, the squad commanders of the Northridge troops all use lever rifles.

The dense firepower crushed Gemelin's troops at once. They thought they were the most powerful troops in the world, but now they knew they were wrong.

The enemy's firepower was so intense that Gemelin's soldiers were knocked down by the oncoming bullets before they had time to raise their hands.

In fact, ordinary Northridge soldiers equipped with KAR98, that is, K3 rifles, are not much slower than lever rifles in terms of rate of fire.

They use metal fixed ammunition, which is much better than ordinary soldiers of Gemailing who are equipped with needle-fired guns in terms of continuous fire.

"Boom!" A soldier of the Northridge Army with a rifle shot overturned an enemy soldier who was rushing in the trench, and then lit up a shining bayonet, knocking another soldier to the ground.

Then he drew a grenade stuck in his belt, fired it and threw it.Three Gmelin soldiers with bayonets came rushing from the other side of the trench, and the grenade they rolled to their feet exploded, and the flames engulfed the three poor people in an instant.

After the gap was opened, the follow-up troops of the Northridge Army began to fill the gap with all their strength.These strictly trained Northridge soldiers stormed along the trenches to the two wings, expanding their results.

With the blessing of grenades and lever rifles, the trench clearing work is faster than imagined.The troops of the Kingdom of Gmelin quickly collapsed, and sections of positions were quickly occupied by Northridge troops.

The trench defenses that held back Gmelin's troops for several days were breached by Northridge troops before even holding on for an hour.

Once the line of defense was breached and the two sides fell into a melee, the combat quality of the North Ridge troops was immediately displayed more clearly.

The Northridge troops, which seem to be better at interspersing small groups of troops, basically use squads or platoons as combat units, rapidly expanding their results and penetrating into the rear of the Gmelin Kingdom's defense line.

Those villages that were used as command nodes, or ammunition storage locations, or temporary camps were attacked at the same time.

The entire battlefield was in chaos, and there were defeated Gmelin soldiers everywhere. There were more than 3000 people in the two legions, and less than 500 were wiped out on the battlefield. on the way.

The command has failed, and the commanders of the Gemelin Kingdom didn't even know what happened, and they heard the news of the defeat from their own side.

Then, the rout across the board began.
