Alien Arms Empire.

In fact, on the day Fengjiang was bombed, there were still some places in the Dahua Empire that were visited by aircraft from the Tang State. Those aircraft were not long-range strategic bombers, but tactical bombers.

Butcher and Stuka took off frequently, carried out reconnaissance and bombing on the north-central border between Dahua and Tang, destroying all the targets they could find.

The buzzing fame of the Stuka dive bomber echoed in the sky, terrifying the soldiers of the Great Hua Empire who saw this aircraft for the first time.

It was also the first time they knew that the dive bombing from the sky was so deadly that they curled up in the trenches like mice hiding in a hole in the ground.

But for them, the disaster passed quickly, the clouds thickened again, Tang Jun's plane disappeared again, and everything seemed to be back to the day before.

Dahua soldiers rejoiced. They repaired the destroyed trenches and fixed fortifications, and gathered the bodies of their comrades.

The commanders of the Great China Imperial Forces in the southern region have also begun to realize the seriousness of the problem.Because the rain in the past two days is obviously much less than the previous few days.

Today's sky is always gloomy, but the number of rains is not much, so they all know that the locust-like Tang Guo Air Force is about to start dispatching.

So they began to attack Xi Cong at an accelerated pace, desperately pushing the troops to the city of Xi Cong.Two days after capturing Lijiacun, the vanguard of the Dahua Empire reached the outskirts of Xi Cong.

Dozens of Dahua 1 tanks were destroyed by the Tang Army's No. 4 assault gun during the attack, and they were paralyzed on the road of attack. The Dahua army retreated about one kilometer, and then launched an attack again.

The Tang army quickly retreated to the outskirts of Xicong, relying on the houses there to deploy their own line of defense.The Dahua army rested all night, and the next day just after dawn, they began to attack.

A battalion of the Dahua army tentatively approached the edge of the city under the cover of seven or eight tanks. It was still a tile-roofed building, but farther away, you could see four-story or even eight-story buildings in Xicong.

The Tang army's snipers cooperated with the infantry to repel this attack. After leaving more than 100 corpses, the Dahua army had to retreat to the place where they launched the attack.

But at noon they started to attack again, this time with about 2 regiments of troops, thousands of people approached the edge of the city of Xicong again under the cover of hundreds of tanks.

Different from the previous tentative attack, this time the Dahua army hoped to build an offensive bridgehead on the edge of the city. They hoped to occupy an urban area and prepare for the next street battle.

But they were repulsed. Although they invested more than 2000 offensive troops in one breath and used a regiment of tanks, they still failed.

During the attack, the Dahua army saw a brand-new equipment of the Tang army, a terrifying and unreasonable fantasy magic weapon.

That's right, when their tanks were about to rush into the edge of the city, they encountered a hidden Tang Army anti-tank position.

Or, in fact, it was not an anti-tank position, but an anti-aircraft position... When the enemy tanks rushed up, the anti-aircraft artillery used the Bofors 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun as a flat-fire gun, and aimed the muzzle at those Dahua 1 tank.

At a very short distance, the anti-aircraft gun suddenly opened fire, and began to straf at the rate of fire of anti-aircraft.The twenty or so tanks on the other side didn't even find out where the enemy was, and they were all destroyed by the shells that hit from the side.

Within about 5 minutes, more than [-] aggressive tanks were wiped out, and the attacking Dahua army instantly lost the will to continue fighting and had to withdraw from the battle.

The fierce battle continued in the afternoon. The Dahua army invested some artillery this time, and once again sent two regiments, more than 2000 people launched an attack.

The two sides collided again, and Tang Jun once again defended his position. If you think that Tiger's carefully arranged Xi Cong defense line will lose the outer defensive position on the first day, then you will underestimate this Great Tang general.

After a day of onslaught without any results, Qian Jinhang, the frontline commander of the Dahua Empire who rushed to the front line, also realized that if he wanted to capture Xi Cong, it would be impossible to do so by recklessness.

So he did not rush to continue the attack the next day, but waited for follow-up reinforcements to arrive one after another.The number of Dahua troops is increasing, and there are more and more heavy weapons and equipment.

Just when Qian Jinhang felt that he had assembled enough troops to try to attack, Tang Jun's artillery fire accurately flooded his troops' garrison.

The coordinates had been measured long ago, and with the precise parameter report of the observation post, Tang Jun used textbook-style artillery coverage to educate his colleagues in the Dahua Empire.

After Qian Jinhang witnessed the Tang army's artillery coverage, he also intuitively realized how huge the artillery gap between the two sides was.

Although Tang Jun's momentum is not big, and the shells are not too many, there is no sense of oppression that will destroy the world.However, the shells landed extremely accurately, and the area covered was extremely valuable. It could be said to be accurate acupuncture.

After this round of bombardment, Qian Jinhang had to postpone the attack once again, and waited in place for another two days before he barely had the capital to attack.

The Dahua army learned smart this time, because they were destroyed by dozens of tanks and cars by the last bombardment, killed more than 500 people, and directly scrapped two regiments...so they dispersed and concealed this time Advancing to the vicinity of the Tang army's position, this opened the prelude to the attack.

The infantry of the three regiments rushed towards their target under the cover of more than 100 artillery pieces. The defenders of Tang State also quickly started to counterattack. The small piece of ruins can be regarded as a forward position at the outermost periphery of Xicong City.

But then Qian Jinhang, who had been supervising the battle on the front line, realized that this might be an insidious trap left by the Tang army for the Dahua army.

Although the Dahua troops captured a forward position, the reinforcements to this position and the efforts to transport logistical supplies were all severely hit by the firepower of the Tang army's two wings.

If the Dahua army wants to send a box of bullets to this bridgehead, it will lose seven or eight people on the way, and may lose two boxes of bullets!
Therefore, as a last resort, Qian Jinhang had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch an offensive operation to expand this bridgehead the next day.

After losing a regiment and at the cost of thousands of people, he seized the flank defense position of this bridgehead and finally gained a firm foothold.

But the ensuing artillery coverage caused the Dahua Empire's attacking troops to pay a heavy price!
Every step forward, the Dahua Empire has to pay a heavy price. They are still fighting hard on the outskirts of Xicong. They have just captured dozens of buildings and the surrounding ruins, and they have already paid a price of more than 4000 people.

This is not good news. Although the Dahua Empire army has an absolute numerical advantage, this rate of loss is simply unbearable.

In two weeks, the attacking Dahua army had lost more than 4 people, which accounted for almost one-tenth of the total strength of the entire attacking force!
What is this concept?This is equivalent to saying that, in fact, at least half of the troops in Qian Jinhang's hands have lost enough to be described as heavy!These troops hardly have much combat power left, and they urgently need to replenish soldiers and weapons and equipment.

And this is only the loss of soldiers, adding the loss of cars, tanks and cannons, Qian Jinhang has even more headaches.

From the beginning of the battle to the present, the Dahua Empire has lost nearly 200 artillery pieces of various calibers, some of which were damaged by themselves, and some were destroyed by the Tang army.

The situation is similar with cars, with more than 500 cars of various models wrecked on the way, and another 200 are barely used with breakdowns and are at risk of damage at any time.

The muddy road made the army of the Great China Empire have to face a situation where a large number of cars were damaged and paralyzed.Their cars are already unreliable, and now they are paralyzed everywhere on the road.

Not to mention the tanks. In the battle for Lijia Village, the Dahua Empire lost more than 110 tanks, not counting the more than 100 tanks that were paralyzed on the offensive road. Just lost 200 tanks!
Yes, this figure is the total tank equipment of two full armored divisions!In other words, two tank divisions of the Dahua Army have "evaporated" without knowing it.

Walking all the way at this speed, before seeing Sishui, Qian Jinhang felt that he might become a polished commander.

But he has nothing to do, the strategic decision of the Dahua Empire is to capture Xi Cong.At this moment, Xi Cong was in front of him, and he had no reason not to take this city.

Ever since, the Dahua army launched an attack again. They marched desperately along the street, repelling the Tang army troops on both wings and capturing more suburban buildings.

Every house has to be contested, and every house that seems to be in good condition has been beaten into ruins.

The grenade was thrown from this room into the next room by the soldiers. After the earth-shaking explosion, the two sides fired wildly across the wall between the kitchen and the living room.

On the highway in the vast city, the tanks of the Tang Army and the tanks of the Dahua Empire met on a narrow road.At one intersection, the two sides fired at each other to destroy the opponent, leaving only the wreckage of two tanks burning in the middle of their respective paths.

The battle lasted from morning to midnight, and then stopped for less than two hours before kicking off again.

Before the soldiers of the Dahua Empire who had captured a block could gain a firm foothold, the Tang army's counterattack came.Soon the soldiers of the Dahua Empire were driven out of the street, and the Tang army occupied it again.

The flag of the Dahua Empire full of bullet holes was thrown under the feet of the soldiers of the Tang army, and a red dragon flag full of bullet holes was raised again. All this has just begun! .
