Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1855 1856 Half the city is in smoke

"Bang!" With a dull sound, a soldier from the Lions Empire fired a rifle grenade behind the barricade at the Tang Army's position in the distance.

His rifle grenade is installed on the muzzle of the rifle, fired using ammunition similar to blank bullets, and throws a grenade to a distance to attack.

This kind of thing is inspired by the rifle grenades of the Tang Empire, but compared with the grenade launchers of the Tang Empire, the technology is quite primitive.

But the original is the original, and on such a battlefield, it can still cause trouble to the troops of the Tang Empire. The grenade exploded on the other side of the street, leaving the Tang Army soldiers behind several sandbags disgraced.

In fact, it's just a disgrace... The accuracy of this thing is really disappointing. If you are hit by this kind of thing, it only shows that this person's luck is really bad.

The Tang army took advantage of the civilian riots in Yucheng to invade the urban area and established a huge bridgehead in the urban area. The coalition forces were caught off guard and could only hold on to their existing positions to prevent the Tang army from further expanding the occupied area.

The two sides fought fiercely in several streets. Because the coalition forces still had the upper hand, the street fighting was quite stalemate.

"What the hell! Can't these **** surrender honestly?" spitting out the dust in his mouth, the Tang Army soldier behind the sandbag cursed and loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher under his rifle.

His grenade launcher's accuracy was much better than that of his opponent. He aimed at the opponent's barricade in the gap between the sandbags, and he decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" There was also a dull sound. The grenade accurately hit the sandbag on the opposite side and exploded between the sandbag and the abandoned bus wreckage.

The seven or eight Lions Empire soldiers hiding here immediately fell to the ground in **** flesh, and some of the remaining soldiers also lost their combat effectiveness in the explosion.

On the other side of the barricade, the machine gun in the firing hole was still roaring. It seemed that it could still be so arrogant for a while before the heavy firepower of the Tang army arrived.

There is no way, the battle here has been going on for more than an hour, and the rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles carried by the Tang Army's light infantry have been exhausted. Now the soldiers of the Tang Army had no way to deal with the barricade, so they were blocked here.

They had just called for armored support, but it would be at least more than an hour before the nearest tank arrived in this neighborhood. The artillery was unable to cover this place due to the angle, so the troops of the Lines Empire seemed to have stabilized the defense line here.

"Let them be arrogant for a while! The tanks will come later and I'll see how they die!" Another Tang Army infantryman leaned on the sandbag and kept complaining while loading bullets into his magazine.

The other side didn't seem to have any good way to deal with the Tang Army soldiers who attacked here: the rifle grenade just now was one of the few useful weapons in the hands of the Lions Empire soldiers.

After hitting this grenade, the other party only had machine gun fire as a way to suppress the Tang army. It seems that the other side did not arrange a few mortars on the barricade, otherwise the Tang army would have abandoned this position and retreated.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, hundreds of reinforcements from the Lines Empire soldiers began to enter the position on the other side of the barricade. In the city of Yucheng, the troops of the Lions Empire still have an absolute advantage in strength. At least Paul still has a sufficient number of reserves in hand. The main force of the coalition is still there, and the combat effectiveness is still online.

Dorne also received a request from the Lions Empire and sent three divisions of troops into the city to help suppress the rioting civilians in Jade City. Now the chaos in the coalition-controlled areas has gradually subsided, and the streets are almost full of troops.

Without the interference of civilians, the mobilization speed of the coalition forces in Yucheng City was quite fast. They blocked the way to attack the Tang army, or in other words, they held the remaining defense line in their hands.

On the Tang Army's side, because there were not many troops breaking into the city, they had to stop the attack as soon as they saw the opportunity. From the perspective of the coalition forces, this was due to the effectiveness of their defense.

Therefore, the morale of the coalition forces, who thought they had stabilized the situation, soared and even launched small climaxes of counterattacks, causing a lot of trouble for the Tang army in the city.

But after a day and night of fierce fighting between the two sides, the coalition commander Paul realized that it was impossible for him to drive the Tang army out of Yucheng.

About 5,000 casualties were placed in front of him, and he could not bear such losses. You must know that even on the entire front of Da Mao and Er Mao, the number of casualties in one day will not reach this level.

If he loses 5,000 men every day, he probably only has enough troops to waste a few months. But this is a real war, not a mathematical game: it is impossible for his troops to die one after another until they are all dead. As long as his troops lose more than 30%, they are in danger of collapse at any time. .

"We are here to support you! How is the situation?" The battalion commander of the Lions Empire force who had just arrived at the position saw the friendly commander guarding the barricade.

The commander was also a battalion commander, and his face was still blackened by gunpowder smoke. Holding the helmet on his head with his hand, the battalion commander briefly introduced the battle situation: "The Tang army on the opposite side was temporarily suppressed by us. They stopped attacking. I don't know whether they were preparing to retreat or waiting for their tanks. "

They all know that once the opponent's tank appears on the other side of the barricade, the block will basically be lost.

As for why the tanks of the Tang Army have not arrived yet... the new battalion commander knows some reasons: "Their tanks did not arrive here so quickly. We just lost several nearby blocks. We blew up some before retreating." The building...it is estimated that the Tang army is clearing the ruins and will not be able to come over for a while. "

In fact, the Tang army could make a detour, but the battlefield situation was more complicated, and the detour would also take time. This is why it took more than an hour for armored troops to arrive to support the Tang army.

"How many people have you brought? Do you have a rocket launcher?" The battalion commander guarding the barricade touched his pocket and found that he had finished smoking his cigarette.

The new battalion commander also seemed to be a smoker. When he saw the other party's movements, he knew that the other party was looking for cigarettes. He smiled and took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

This kind of cigarette is a specialty of the Lions Empire and a very famous civilian cigarette. This stuff was very popular with soldiers, but as the war progressed, the quality of this brand of cigarettes really deteriorated day by day.
