Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 18511852 Suburbs of Jade City

The thin mist in the early morning shrouded the desolate highlands, and the damp cold wind blew like a blade, making a shrill whistle, as if to accompany the coming killing. On the high ground, the soldiers of the Lines Empire huddled shivering in the trenches, their uniforms in tatters, stained with mud and blood.

The Tang Army's artillery shells were accurate and deadly, and they were able to hold on until now without collapsing. These soldiers of the Lines Empire have shown considerable bravery. But as time went by, the position they held was no longer what it looked like.

"Damn, this **** weather..." A young soldier cursed in a low voice. His teeth were chattering in his lips that were purple with cold. It rained lightly yesterday. Now the temperature in the field is very low and the soil is thick. It is very humid. For the soldiers of the Lions Empire, this weather is really torturous: "When will this battle be over? I've really had enough!"

They really hate this kind of weather. Thick clouds and intermittent light rain cannot prevent the Tang Army from sending out the air force to launch an attack, but the pattering rain makes the battlefield wet and muddy. For Lyons' soldiers, , such an environment really makes them suffer.

What's even more unfortunate is that last night one of their sentries discovered the surprise attack by the Tang Army's special forces, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. They fought with who knows what all night long, and after daybreak they didn't even see a corpse of the enemy.

However, they themselves lost more than fifty soldiers, and the entire infantry company was almost scrapped. Later, at dawn, a new infantry company came to support from the regiment headquarters, which stabilized the situation.

"Shut up, what's the use of complaining? If you have time, why don't you quickly reload your magazine with a few more bullets." The veteran beside him scolded in a low voice, his cloudy eyes full of bloodshot eyes and exhaustion: "How can you still do it when you get here? Want to go back? We will all die here, our fate is already determined... This is to atone for our sins of ingratitude. "

He was an eyewitness to the expulsion of the Datang Group. At that time, as a soldier carrying a submachine gun, he watched the followers of the Datang Group board the ship at the dock in Bunas and leave. At that time, he knew that these people would come back sooner or later.

The young soldier shrank his neck in fear and did not dare to say anything. The veteran is right. Those soldiers of the Tang Empire are like evil ghosts crawling out of hell. They are fierce, cruel, and fearless of death. They are like tireless machines. They have harvested the lives of many Lions soldiers. .

Yesterday, he even saw with his own eyes a Tang Army soldier who staggered up from the ground after being hit by a submachine gun, and limped away from the battlefield!

Those guys are all immortal... This kind of rumor is circulating among the grassroots soldiers of the Lions Empire. Many people believe this nonsense. They believe that the emperor of the Tang Empire cast a magic on his soldiers that can make them They forget about pain.

Similar magic actually exists in the Lions Empire, and it is a thing called a black crow. Many soldiers will take the initiative to ask for similar drugs to comfort their souls on the battlefield where there is no hope.

It's just that he heard that that thing has serious side effects and the effect is not very good. People who eat too much of that stuff will become delirious and easily die in confusion on the battlefield, so they don't dare to go to the commander to ask for the pill called Black Crow.

Because of the lessons learned from the Ice Empire, the Lions Empire military did not have a good impression of Black Crow. They do not actively distribute this medicine to soldiers. They will only take out this stuff from Dorne if someone asks for it.

In the distance, the rumble of the engine gradually turned from gentle to deafening, like the roar of an ancient beast, indicating that a **** feast was about to begin.

The torrent of steel from the Tang Empire appeared, and tanks emerged from the horizon like black ghosts, rumbling towards them with unstoppable momentum.

Those tanks all have a long barrel, and the muzzle flashes with an icy cold light, which looks particularly sinister in the faint morning light - this feature is very obvious, because almost no tanks equipped by the coalition have such long tank guns!

Under the cover of the tank cluster, the Tang Army infantry wearing camouflage uniforms calmly spread out their formation and moved forward resolutely. Each of them had an expressionless face, with only cold murderous intent in their eyes.

The soldiers of the Lines Empire were frightened to death by this sudden torrent of steel. They had never seen so many Tang Army tanks, let alone so many Tang Army infantry. Just when they were nervously looking at the enemy appearing in the distance, the artillery fire coverage of the Tang army arrived.

A series of rockets exploded on the Lines Empire's position, and the ground continued to tremble during the explosion. The Tang army's bombardment was intensive and rapid. After just a few breaths, the entire bombardment seemed to have stopped.

However, the casualties caused by such rapid covering fire were indeed not small. The Lions soldiers who stood on the position were instantly engulfed by artillery fire. By the time the surviving soldiers crawled out from under the floating soil, the Tang army was already in sight.

The tank group of the Tang Army stopped when it was still a few hundred meters away from the Lines Empire's position. Then hundreds of 125mm smoothbore cannons roared, and a series of shells poured down on the Lines Empire's position like raindrops. The fortifications, which had finally calmed down, exploded into a sea of ​​flames.

Accompanied by the deafening shelling, the Tang Army infantry launched a charge under the cover of tanks. They rushed towards the enemy's position with overwhelming momentum. The automatic rifles in their hands sprayed deadly flames, harvesting the lives of the Lions Empire soldiers.

"They're coming! They're coming!" In the trenches, the soldiers of the Lines Empire shouted in horror, and despair spread among the crowd.

"Help! Gashi was hit! Medic!" Someone in the distance was also shouting, but no one seemed to care about an injured soldier now.

There was panic on the Lines Empire's position, and only one anti-tank team fired rockets in desperation. Unfortunately, due to the distance, the rocket hit the front armor of the Tang Army tank and only raised a cloud of white smoke.

There is no difference between such a thing and a tickle. Even the rockets were not able to leave a shallow crater in the main armor of the Tang Army tank.

The exposed anti-tank position was immediately suppressed by the Tang army's firepower, and the Type 96 main battle tank's roof-mounted remote-controlled machine gun immediately fired at it. Amidst the white smoke splashed by the tracer bullets, the rifle grenades fired by the Tang Army's infantry following the tank attack fell one after another, blowing the place upside down.

The commander of the Tang Army stood in the turret of a command tank, with half of his body leaning out of the turret, staring coldly at the battlefield in the distance. He put down the telescope, and the brim of the military hat on his head cast a shadow on his face, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.

"Report! Our tanks have cut into the enemy's position. According to the report from the 3rd company's tanks, the troops of the Lines Empire are retreating." A communications soldier reported loudly. "Today our mission is to advance 5 kilometers and stabilize the front line on the outskirts of Yucheng!" The voice of the Tang Army commander who looked at the entire battlefield was cold and calm, as if he was recounting an insignificant matter.

The next second, the deafening sound of artillery resounded through the sky, and the heavy artillery units far away from the front line began to extend their firing. With a sharp whistling sound, the artillery shell passed over the head of the Tang Army commander and the attacking Tang Army, and landed accurately on the Lines Empire's position.

The Tang Army's artillery and infantry have already cooperated well with each other, and the smooth communication can even ensure that the Tang Army's artillery shells accurately land less than a hundred meters in front of the Tang soldiers! The fire and thick smoke generated by the explosion of the shells instantly engulfed the trenches. Broken limbs and broken weapons and equipment were thrown into the air, and then fell back to the ground feebly.

As the Tang army's offensive extended in depth, the shelling even engulfed the collapsing Lions army. The soldiers of the already collapsed Lions empire panicked. They fled in all directions under the fierce artillery fire, like hares driven by hunters. , without any structure and without any resistance.

"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Even though they knew the situation was over, the officers of the Lions Empire were still shouting at the top of their lungs.

They tried to reorganize their troops to resist, but in front of the torrent of steel from the Tang army, these efforts seemed so feeble.

The tanks of the Tang Army surged onto the high ground like a black tide. The carefully constructed defenses of the Lines Empire were like paper in the face of the torrent of steel and quickly collapsed.

The trenches were crushed by tank tracks and collapsed, and the machine gun positions were destroyed by artillery fire. The remaining soldiers of the Lines Empire abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in all directions, but what greeted them were only the ruthless bullets and bayonets of the Tang army.

The Lions soldier who had been talking just now climbed up from the bottom of the collapsed trench, shook off the dirt from his body, and squinted his eyes to find anyone still alive around him. His ears were filled with the buzz caused by the explosion, and he could not hear other sounds at all.

So even he himself didn't know whether he was shouting or not. He was just shouting with all his strength, calling the names of his comrades around him.

Gradually, he saw a familiar face. Not far from him, next to the trench that had just been a machine gun position, there was a body... or half a body lying.

On the other side, he also saw the veteran who had just spoken to him... His body was now half buried in the soil, with only one shoulder and face covered in blood exposed. Just as he said when he was alive, those who come here will indeed die here.

The Lions soldier who emerged from the mud thought he was the lucky one. He thought he had escaped the deadly shell. But after feeling dizzy for a while, he realized that his body was soaked in blood.

The adrenaline effect secreted in the body finally passed, and the Lions Empire soldier with several pieces of shrapnel stuck in his body sat back at the bottom of the collapsed trench. He closed his eyes quietly and stopped breathing before the Tang Army soldiers passed by.

In the sky, the Tang Army's thunder and lightning attack aircraft have begun to sweep the nearby battlefields. The roar of their engines alternates between far and near, as if to accompany the attacking Tang Army. The attacking Tang Army did not suffer an artillery counterattack from the Lions Empire defenders because these aircraft had completely suppressed the artillery of the Lions Empire troops.

Today, something even more demoralizing for the soldiers of the Lions Empire happened: the armed helicopters of the Tang Empire began to go into battle. The range of these things was not far. Their appearance over the battlefield meant that the field battle near Bunas At the airport, Tang Jun has almost been upgraded.

Armed helicopters with limited range began to participate in the battle, and the Tang Army's supporting firepower became more intense. This made the already passive Yucheng defenders even more passive, and the number of casualties also skyrocketed.

Although the troops of the Lines Empire tried their best to stop the Tang Army's advance, they still lost all the peripheral highlands they could at noon that day. The Tang Army's armored forces had approached the outskirts of Yucheng, and the second Yucheng defense line established by Paul had actually been broken through.

The third line of defense is actually the suburban defense line of Yucheng. There are many suburban estates of celebrities and nobles, as well as some factory facilities, so there are many buildings that can serve as support for the defense line.

Paul had already carried out several rounds of extortion against the squires and nobles of the Lines Empire. Under such a premise, it is not surprising that his troops seized these facilities and manors.

Relying on these buildings, the Lyons defenders built a suburban defense line surrounding Jade City. This defense line was also a relatively strong defense line. After all, without this line of defense, the Yucheng defenders could only prepare for street fighting.

The manor where these nobles used to relax and vacation was actually empty. When the nobles retreated, they took away all the valuable things, leaving only furniture and other things behind. The Lions soldiers who occupied the place A mess.

The courtyard wall that was originally used to resist wild beasts has been blown to pieces by artillery fire, and the broken walls have become a natural bunker. The Lyons soldiers set up a machine gun at the gap, with the black muzzle pointing into the distance, ready to spit out deadly tongues of fire at any time.

A three-story building in the distance is the residence of the owner of the manor. At this time, a Lions sniper is lying behind the window on the top floor, patiently waiting for Tang Jun to appear.

This house made of bricks and stones is at least twice as strong as an ordinary house. It has now become a temporary bunker and a field hospital.

In the room, the wounded soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness groaned in pain, and there was a strong smell of blood and disinfectant. The exhausted soldiers huddled together, some were dressing their wounds, while others were looking out the window blankly, not knowing what fate awaited them.

I wish you all a happy holiday and a happy birthday to my motherland!
