Chapter 226: The Proscenians are bleeding like rivers (Update 933)

Prosen Army, Asgard Knights Amphora Division Headquarters.

Giles eagerly awaited reports from the front line.

In addition to the grenadier battalion of the Ampra Division, there were also two grenadier battalions of another grenadier division.

In addition, an additional pontoon bridge unit was transferred from the rear to be responsible for building the bridge.

After the bridge is completed, Prosen's armored forces will also go into the attack. Fire Tank II will clean out all buildings.

This is one of the many experiences that Prosen summed up in the Carolingian Battle. When the smoke obscures the sight of both sides, the flamethrower of the fire-breathing tank will still have good damage, as long as it sprays towards the place where there is a firing flash. That's it.

According to records, Rokossov's troops have never encountered the No. 2 Spitfire Tank before, and this time they want to give him a good taste.

Giles kept pacing around the headquarters, and finally couldn't help but said, "I'd better go to the front line and have a look!"

"No!" Feliz shouted to stop him, "Absolutely not! Although Commander Cruze is out of danger, there is no way for him to return to his command post!"

In fact, if the division staff are not blamed, it is just that the division commander's injury and withdrawal does not have a great impact on a division.

Giles sighed and continued pacing back and forth with a straight face. As a result, the staff of the Ampula division did not dare to express their anger - after all, this was the famous person in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Apart from anything else, this man was actually able to convince His Majesty, who was anxious to end the war, to accept his use of earthworks to reduce casualties. In the past twenty days, the rumors about this matter became more and more outrageous.

Some people even swore that Gil-Ais was actually the emperor's prostitute when he was selling sex in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Giles has never denied this statement - of course it is possible that he does not know.

In short, no one dared to speak now, watching Giles pacing back and forth.

Two hours after the attack began, news finally came.

"Report Lieutenant General," the messenger saluted Gil-Ais, "Our attacking force was completely suppressed on the river bank by the Ants. The first wave of smoke has dissipated. The frontline commander requested direct fire."

"No." Giles scolded, "Fire another round of smoke. The enemy's anti-tank gun fire is fierce. Let the artillery maintain the smoke cover until the bridge is completed!"

"Yes!"

Giles continued to pace, muttering as he walked: "It would be great if the airborne troops were deployed at this time."

Feliz: "You can also ask the air force to help now."

Giles shook his head: "Now that the river is full of smoke, they will use the excuse that they can't see the target and won't come. We have reduced so many losses with soil work, and now it's time to use human lives to break through the enemy's defenses."

----

Wang Zhong whispered: "Will the enemy continue to attack after such heavy losses?"

In fact, no one in the bunker knew how much the Prosen people had suffered, because they couldn't see it.

Now all the firepower of the 1st Guards Division is firing blindly, according to the parameters determined at the beginning, in order to deal with the enemy's smoke blockade.

Only Wang Zhong, the old man who wore smoke, saw that the enemy's entire river bank was filled with dead Pluosen soldiers.

The enemy's pontoon bridge troops are still working hard to build the bridge under heavy mortar fire. The pontoon bridge is currently halfway up.

So Wang Zhong ordered: "Order the artillery regiment to transfer firepower and let the observation post guide the artillery attack on the ferry."

Pavlov had no doubts and picked up the phone receiver.

Popov suggested: "Why don't we just let some of the enemies in, so that the soldiers will be embarrassed if they keep hitting the smoke blindly. Let the soldiers see the enemies, and then kill them. That will work." "

Wang Zhong shook his head: "No, it is almost certain that the enemy will break through the first fire net. We must kill the enemy to the maximum extent at every pass and eliminate the enemy's effective strength."

Popov: "You are the division commander, you make the decision."

At this time, Wang Zhong suddenly heard the firing of anti-aircraft guns. He raised his head in confusion: "What are you shooting at?"

Vasily listened carefully and said: "It's not our anti-aircraft guns, it seems like the navy at the port is firing."

Wang Zhong immediately switched perspectives.

As a result, the navy did not count his subordinate units, so he could only see the unit logo, but he could indeed see the line of fire of the anti-aircraft guns.

Wang Zhong: "It looks like the river gunboat."

Pavlov: "Has the smoke cleared over the port? Can you see the target?"

Wang Zhong himself knew very well that the smoke at the port had not dispersed, but he could only agree: "Maybe."

The navy probably heard heavy artillery bombing the ferry and judged that there was a high-value enemy target at the ferry, so it used the machine cannon on the gunboat to fire.

It can only be said that the navy is indeed of high quality, and its fighting will and initiative are terrifyingly high.

The enemy's pontoon bridge troops on the other side of the ferry were washed away by heavy mortars, heavy artillery and machine guns, and the bridge-building operations had long been stopped.

The question is how long this firepower can last.

Just as Wang Zhong was thinking about it, he saw the Pulosen people who were pinned on the beach near the division headquarters starting to climb the breakwater.

He was stunned to see that the Proson soldier actually inserted the engineer shovel into the gap in the breakwater and climbed onto the road with the engineer shovel!

After the first soldier to climb up confirmed that this method was feasible, he directly threw a smoke bomb to ensure that the smoke was covered.

The second soldier who climbed up carried a bundle of ropes on his back and ran towards the street trees on the side of the road.

Apparently he was going to trap the rope in a tree so that the Prosin soldiers could climb up the breakwater with the rope!
These people——

Just as Wang Zhong was about to touch the radio to give an order, the defenders on the second floor suddenly started throwing grenades downwards.

what happened?

The defenders on the second floor don't have Wang Zhong's clairvoyance.

He carefully observed the defenders who were throwing grenades, and finally understood that these soldiers saw new smoke spots suddenly appearing and felt something was wrong, so they threw grenades.

The Proson soldier thought he had been discovered and threw a grenade directly towards the second floor. As a result, the grenade was caught and thrown down from the second floor.

Now Ant also knew that there were Prossens coming up.

Wang Zhong saw a captain shouting, and soon a captured Prossen machine gun was brought over, set up on the second floor and fired blindly at the bottom.

Others started a grenade war.

Proson's soldiers were few in number and highly suppressed, so they quickly fell behind.

But more enemies found their way onto the jetty.

Of course, the blockade of the stairs must continue, otherwise enemies will rush up like a tide.

While Wang Zhong was paying attention to the attack and defense near the breakwater, the Proson infantry artillery started firing again - they had all been suppressed by heavy artillery just now!

However, the enemy's first infantry artillery salvo fell directly on the riverside avenue between the building and the breakwater due to the obstruction of the smoke.

The Proson soldier who finally climbed up and gained a foothold was fucked by his own artillery!
Wang Zhong couldn't close his mouth.

Are Prosen's artillerymen all hell submarines? Is it more accurate to hit your own people than your enemies?

Wang Zhong: "Let the artillery observation post guide and suppress the enemy's artillery positions."

Vasily: "Indeed, I just heard the explosion of the enemy's infantry artillery. But it's so confusing to suppress it back and forth. How about dividing it into two parts and suppressing them separately?"

Wang Zhong: "No! Haven't you heard that it is better to cut off one finger than to injure five of them? Artillery fire should be used concentratedly. If it is spread out, neither side will be able to achieve good results."

While talking, the enemy's artillery unit sent another round of smoke bombs.

Wang Zhong was speechless: "The enemy's smoke is not going to stop."

----

"Don't stop the smoke until all the smoke bombs are used up." Giles ordered, "If we can't complete the pontoon during the day, we will continue to attack until night. Keep attacking, attacking!"

Feliz: "The first echelon reported heavy casualties, but if they don't withdraw, if the second echelon goes up again, they will pile up on the narrow beach."

Giles: "Have the second echelon cross the river upstream from the ferry. Further cover the bridge-building operation."

"Yes."

----

In the 1st Guards Division bunker, the phone rang.

Pavlov picked up: "Division headquarters. Where are we crossing the river? Got it."

He put down the phone: "The enemy is trying to cross the river upstream."

Wang Zhong: "Send out armored troops. The river upstream is so wide, and the enemy is also anxious."

Although the Duwa River is currently in the dry season, it is still a river capable of navigation. Shostka is already the narrowest part of this section of the river.

At the same time that Pavlov ordered the armored troops to attack, Wang Zhong heard the sound of the engine.

Since Brother Peter didn't notify them, Ant's air force should have come to assist in the battle.

Sure enough, four Yak-1s swooped down first and dropped bombs on the west bank ferry.

The 100-kilogram aerial bomb directly lifted the bridge-building vehicles of the Prossen people into the air and dumped them upside down in the river.

After the first wave of bomb drops, the second wave of four Yak-1s dived down and continued to drop bombs.

Two waves of 16 aerial bombs directly turned the ferry into a sea of ​​flames.

At this time, Vasily suddenly said: "It's windy!"

Wang Zhong: "Where is the wind?"

Vasily put his hand out of the observation window: "Yes, there is wind. The wind is blowing downstream, which means it is going to rain."

At this time, strong winds from the north began to blow across the Dua River.

In just ten minutes, the smoke covering the east coast was blown away.

The Prossens who had climbed up the breakwater were all exposed to the eyes of the Ant soldiers on the second floor.

Then a storm of gunfire sounded.

The Ploson soldiers who finally climbed up the breakwater were swept away from a high position.

At the same time, enemy fire from the other side also began to hit the second floor.

Fire from both sides began to cross the Duwa River.

Wang Zhong heard the sound of a 57mm anti-tank gun firing, and high-explosive shells were continuously fired towards the west bank ferry.

This firepower density is much higher. The 57mm anti-tank gun group can fire a high rate of fire every three seconds.

The fierce fire of 12 anti-tank guns was more terrifying than any heavy machine gun.

The enemy's Pontoon Bridge troops were instantly wiped out.

Wang Zhong laughed loudly: "Okay! We can hold on to this wave!"

He turned around and high-fived the others.

Nellie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted: "Rain, it's raining!"

On the afternoon of October 914, 10, the rainy season came.
