Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 568 568 Been Fighting for a Long Time

Donghe Bridge, or Donghe Bridge, is a modern bridge newly built by Qi State this year. It is made of reinforced concrete, and the main components are ordered from Tang State. It is a two-way railway bridge, quite spectacular.

This bridge spans the Donghe River and is the most important transportation throat of Qi State, as well as the gateway to the east of Wangcheng.

When it was built, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the bridge, fortifications were built on both sides of the bridge. The most spectacular thing is that there are four bridgeheads with a height of five floors on both sides.

The construction of such a huge bridgehead is for aesthetics on the one hand, but also has practical value on the other hand.

These four huge bunkers can be stationed to guard the bridge, which can ensure the safety of the Donghe Bridge to the greatest extent.

Qi Guo stationed 4 companies and a whole battalion here to ensure that the bridge would not be damaged by the infiltrated Tang army.

And here is the main target of the paratroopers of the Tang Dynasty in this operation.They want to occupy this place to ensure that the troops of the Qi State cannot pass through the Donghe Bridge to rush to the aid of the empty royal city.

"Did the planes of the Tang army just drop people or bombs?" Because the distance was several kilometers, although the officers of Qi State stationed on the bridge saw the danger falling from the sky, they didn't know how to deal with it.

"It shouldn't be a bomb. If it's a bomb, there's no need to hang a white umbrella." The soldier who answered obviously didn't know the correct name for the parachute.

There is no way, there are too many new things in Tang country these years. The most interesting thing for them, Qi people, is to get together to learn those new terms.

They didn't know that a radio was called a radio before, and they didn't know what concrete was. Airplanes and tanks were just newly learned vocabulary in the past few days.

In short, these Qi people are used to seeing some weird things that they don't know what they are, and then learn a new vocabulary belatedly, so that they don't look so ignorant anymore.

"Isn't it thrown down to destroy the railway?" A company commander asked with a guilty conscience.

Aren't they stationed here at the bridge because it's a railway?Destroying bridges and destroying railways, isn't that the same in theory?

"We're not in the road guard team, and we won't take care of the railway if it breaks down!" The battalion commander snorted, saying that other things have nothing to do with him: "Let the brothers guard the bridgehead! As long as this place is not lost, nothing can go wrong! "

The Qi State garrison here still doesn't know that some of the Tang Army's paratroopers have already launched an attack in the opposite direction, and they are about to capture the King of Qi State.

"You said, how can this damn Tang man always come up with messy things?" The battalion commander, who was a little irritable, complained to the company commander standing beside him.

"Who says it's not! I heard that the front line...doesn't seem too good." The company commander also sighed.

He had a friend on the southern line who had been killed the other day.The obituary was sent directly to him, because the man's wife had run away with someone...

"I've already sent people here, how can the front line be any better?" The battalion commander seemed to be open-minded, as if I had already seen it through.

While they were chatting, behind the bushes in the distance, the muzzle of a G43 semi-automatic rifle stretched out, silently aiming at the Qi Guo shooter in the machine gun position.

The nearby grass trembled slightly, one by one the paratroopers were advancing cautiously, a little closer to the position of the bridgehead.

Time passed by every minute and every second, until Tang Jun could almost hear the vague conversations of the soldiers defending the Qi State, and he was finally discovered.

"Who is it!" A Qi soldier saw the Tang paratrooper approaching his position, subconsciously asked loudly.What answered him was the clear gunshot like a typewriter, as well as bullets flying towards him.

"Enemy attack!" The Qi soldiers who were suddenly attacked shouted loudly, reminding their companions to be careful.On the machine gun position behind them, the shooter of Qi State was just about to point his gun at the enemy he saw, when his head was shattered by a bullet flying from a distance.

Soldiers in the state of Qi don't have such things as steel helmets. They all only have a cloth hat, and officers like to put a straight feather on the side of the hat.

Because they have no protection, they have almost zero protection against stray bullets and fragments, and they don't have suitable tactical equipment on their bodies. Compared with Tang Jun, Qi soldiers are no different from beggars.

The few bullets they have are the same as in the past, hanging on both sides of the armed belt, and then there is a bayonet, a water bottle, and a grain bag hanging behind the buttocks.

Lunch boxes, tents, cups, and other messy things are stuffed in the backpack, and they shake when they run...

The Qi army, whose head was blown away by a single shot, fell on his back, and the rest of the Qi army was still looking for where the enemy who attacked them was.

In fact, the enemy is already close at hand!Several grenades flew into the trenches of the Qi army, and the tragic explosion blew away the remaining limbs and arms in the trenches.

Before the smoke cleared, the paratroopers of Tang State rushed into the trench and began to ruthlessly clean up the remaining soldiers of the Qi army in the trench.

The clear and clear sound of the typewriter lasted for a long time, and one after another Qi soldiers fell down screaming. After they lost several trenches, the Qi soldiers realized that the enemy seemed to be entangled with them.

"Blow up the bridge! Blow up the bridge!" Seeing that his position was in chaos, the Tang army might hit the bridgehead at any time, so he immediately yelled loudly.

The commander of the Qi State Battalion next to him rounded his arms and slapped him, causing him to turn around in a circle: "What are you talking about! Bastard! Get out quickly and block the enemy! Don't let them approach the bridgehead!"

After finishing speaking, the battalion commander hurriedly shouted to the Qi Guo machine gunner who was firing beside him: "Hit me hard! Hit me hard! Hold them down! Press..."

Before he finished speaking, the MG-42 machine gun deployed by Tang Jun on the periphery began to roar, and that unique continuous sound suddenly covered the roar of the Maxim machine gun.

The densely packed bullets hit near the firing holes of the bridgehead, leaving bullet marks on the concrete wall and peeling off pieces of the painted wall.

Immediately, the machine gunner in the perforation did not dare to fire. Because of his narrow field of view, he could not find the enemy machine gun pouring ammunition at him. He felt that if he continued to shoot, he would probably be killed by the opponent.

For a moment, all the machine guns of the Qi army facing the Tang army fell silent, leaving only the continuous gunshots of the Tang army still echoing on the battlefield.

The Maxim heavy machine gun that has been eliminated by the Tang army is a favorite in the armies of other countries, and it is an important indicator to measure whether an army is strong or not.

Under normal circumstances, an infantry company of the Qi army should be equipped with 4 heavy machine guns, and elite troops often have 5 or 6.

But in fact, until the outbreak of the war, the Qi army did not complete all the re-equipment. The western section of the southern defense, that is, the troops under the command of the third prince, still had some Cyric flintlock guns.

Therefore, most of the infantry companies of the Qi army are equipped with only one Maxim heavy machine gun, and it would be good if they can be divided into two.

Some main forces, such as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies, can barely allocate 3 heavy machine guns to each company (the machine guns strengthened on the defense line are not counted).

Because many machine guns were installed on the southern defense line and used as a fulcrum of firepower, Qi's machine guns have always been in short supply.

At this moment, the same is true for the Qi army stationed here. It seems that they have four companies, but each company is only equipped with two machine guns.

The paratroopers of the Tang Army are different. Each squad has its own machine gun team, and almost all of them are equipped with continuous fire weapons, and the firepower density is not at the same level.

Now that the two sides are fighting together, the Tang army's advantage in firepower density is immediately apparent. They are rampaging in the trenches. No matter how hard the Qi army tries, they can't stop the Tang army for a short time.

"Hold it! Hold it!" Outside the bridgehead, a platoon leader of the Qi Army waved his arm, hoping that his men would be more brave.

However, he was quickly knocked down by the incoming bullets, and the surrounding Qi army immediately dispersed.What's more interesting is that because of the chaos on the battlefield, on the bridgehead on the other side of the railway, the unidentified Qi army was firing at their beaten companions.

In the chaos, some other Qi troops mistook their companions for Tang troops, and they kept firing, causing the Qi troops standing on the ground to suffer from the enemy.

Ever since, a dumbfounding scene happened. The beaten Qi Jun waved to his own people in the distance, signaling them not to fire, but they were quickly knocked down by Tang Jun behind him.

But when the Qi army, who was attacked from both sides, took up their weapons and beat Tang Jun, the accomplices behind them shot them in the back of the head...

Going back and forth to anger the soldiers of the Qi army caught in the middle, they turned their guns and started fighting at their own people on the other side of the railway.

The whole scene was in chaos, even at the end, even Tang Jun couldn't tell what was going on.

They thought that the Qi people were in civil unrest, so they left the Qi army who were firing at each other and rushed to the bridgehead that was close at hand.

The Qi army on the outskirts of the bridgehead was frightened and went into the bunker, and the Qi army inside had to play the role of the supervising team and opened fire on the Qi army outside the bunker...

At this moment, the paratrooper commanders of the Tang Army were stunned, and a group of Tang Army soldiers hid in the trenches and watched Qi Jun's own people beating their own people, and the beating was in full swing.

"Aren't they crazy?" Leaning on the edge of the trench, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of Paratroopers in Tang State asked the people around him in disbelief as he watched the Qi army constantly firing at his own people.

"I don't know, I've been fighting for a while...but we've saved ourselves a lot of trouble." A company commander replied while checking his magazine.
