Chapter 188 Infiltration Operations 2

"The enemy has built several defense lines on the Misi Plain. These defense lines are interconnected and equipped with arsenals. Before the first main trench, they also include bunkers, bunkers, and other fire support points."

"And outside is the barbed wire fence. The firepower of hundreds of cannons and machine guns has formed a "no man's land" several kilometers deep. And as the enemy continues to transport more machine guns and artillery to the front line, the no man's land continues day after day. It becomes almost impossible to break through.”

"Start the infiltration operation!"

The Light Chaser veterans were divided into groups one after another and quietly began infiltration operations at night.

"Let's get started, for the Empire"

"fire!"

The artillery positions that had been established suddenly bombarded the enemy. These rebels were hit by the artillery shells before they even reacted.

"Don't stop! Keep bombarding! Three shots!"

While the Earth-Shaking Cannon was bombarding, the mortar positions at the front were not idle either. They also accompanied the Earth-Shaking Cannon's attack.

The mortar is a simple muzzle-loading weapon used by the Imperial Guard. It is popular for its simplicity of construction and maintenance compared to more complex weapons, such as the Acatlan MK9 used by these soldiers. Mortar, same model as Alicia Airborne.

This two-man support gun carries a five-round rotating drum magazine.

But what's even more amazing is that it can be operated remotely. An operator can operate the weapon's firing program within a radius of one hundred meters, allowing it to fire a single shot or a five-shot salvo.

This allows the weapons team to scout enemy movements and positions and then remotely guide mortars to bombard the enemy.

"Continue the bombardment! Don't stop! Gas bombs! Prepare!"

After hearing the order, the mortar crew immediately replaced the artillery shells with poison gas bombs, and then continued to shoot towards the enemy's position under the command.

"Help, help! The enemy used poison gas! Poison gas!"

The rebels foamed at the mouth after taking a breath. The poisonous gas easily invaded their bodies. When faced with the poisonous gas, these rebels had no power to fight back and could only let the empire's artillery troops attack them. Slaughter.

"Gas mask! Go find the gas mask!"

The rebels fled in all directions, but were either killed by shells or gassed.

Some of the experienced ones had already put on their gas masks, and then they took to the position to prepare for the army of the Human Empire.

But they don't know that they have stepped into the trap of the Imperial Army.

Dozens of teams from the Light Chaser Legion have already taken advantage of the barrage to advance. They do not intend to clash head-on with the enemy. This would give them no chance of winning and may even lead to a stalemate in the battle.

"The main goal is to destroy the enemy's headquarters and artillery positions behind enemy lines, and try not to engage in firefights with the enemy."

"Has the location of the enemy's artillery been detected?"

"The test is out. It is 2 kilometers away from you. Directly behind the position, there are many enemy bunkers and roadblocks on the road. Pay attention to safety."

"receive"

"start to act!"

The groups quickly dispersed and stalked toward their targets.

They used flares and signal rockets to indicate targets.

In addition to combat troops and coordination officers, the assault force also includes engineers, basic logistics and medical units, and communications troops. Essentially they are a pocket-sized combined force.

Each of these units has a clear target, which is either the enemy's communication facility, the enemy's field headquarters, or the enemy's artillery position.

"attack!"

The first detachment holding a light gun has successfully touched the enemy's artillery position. At this time, these rebels are busy loading ammunition.

"Fire!"

The assault troops suddenly emerged from the bushes and caught them off guard. The rebel artillery troops were killed before they even picked up their guns.

"Hurry up! Blow up the cannon! Then use the signal flare!"

Several engineers quickly fixed the melta bombs on these artillery pieces painted with blasphemous symbols. With several explosions, these artillery pieces were wrapped in flames and then turned into a pile of scrap metal.

"boom!"

The red flare was shot out, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky.

"start to act!"

The soldiers of the second team killed several rebels standing guard next to the communication facility, and then stuffed several melt grenades into the communication facility without hesitation.

With an explosion, the enemy's communication facilities were cut off. Now the rebels' orders could not be sent to various trenches. Next was the enemy's headquarters, which was the most difficult to break.

A series of explosions sounded, and the soldiers responsible for attacking the headquarters quickly attacked. They held rocket launchers and took the lead in killing an armored vehicle next to them. Then dozens of soldiers took the lead and rushed into the headquarters.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Along with the strafing, the rebel officers in the headquarters were shot in the chest before they even had time to react, and then fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, the rebels on this line of defense already knew what was happening, but they could not receive orders from the headquarters and could only fight on their own.

The attack of the heavily armed assault troops has begun. They will rely on their own machine guns, flamethrowers, and mortars to conquer the enemy strongholds bypassed by the light assault troops.

This is the horror of infiltration operations, relying on the infiltration tactical thinking of "avoiding reality and replacing reality" to instill into the troops.

There must be a certain limit to advancing forward after an attack, and the attack can only be followed when the enemy's resistance is weak or ineffective.

The attacking force should bypass strong points of support or strongly fortified areas, leaving it to be cleared by subsequent echelons.

"The light of fire must have attracted the defenders inside the hive. It looks like the battle was successful."

Hank held up the telescope and looked at the sparks igniting from the enemy's position and said slowly.

"Probably, it looks like the assault force is going smoothly."

Soldiers holding flamethrowers were attacking into the enemy's war cries. Countless rebels struggled under the flamethrowers and then fell helplessly to the ground.

"Okay, it's our turn."

Hank knew that his mission was to lure the enemy out of the city, and then contain them as much as possible. The next actions would be left to the Space Marines.

Thinking of this, Hank took out the charging whistle from his chest pocket and blew it fiercely.

This is the last step in the penetration operation. After a successful breakthrough, the assault force, regardless of its size, should move straight forward and attack.

Troops following the commandos should apply pressure on both flanks of the breakthrough area to widen the breach and then encircle its flanks.

When regiments and divisions expand the breach gap, they use the same infiltration tactics of avoiding the real and using the weak as in the initial attack.

The 20 members of the st Assault Regiment of Odisius launched a charge and this time captured the enemy position in one fell swoop.
