Chapter 4191: South side

New Carthage City. Dawn has arrived. This was the darkest time and the most exhausted time for people, but Scipio launched an offensive at this time. Although he only had two battalions, he came to him too fast, and the Carthaginians could not react at all.

Scipio arrived here after a two-day and one-night march. They are usually all in the new army in the night. In this way, many soldiers do not know where they are going. Even if some senior officers know about this, they will not say it. They believe that letting their actions have a great sensational effect.

"Suddenly. Suddenly." The machine gun spurted life-threatening flames. They are covering the assault team to the head of the city, as long as a gap is opened there, everything here will change.

"Damn it, it's too dark to see anything. I can only see that the Carthaginians' firepower is not too violent, but our human condition is still not good enough." Li Fu put down the telescope in his hand and lay down in the trench to the west. Pia said.

"I saw it," Scipio said.

"How is the situation with the commando? Where did they go?" Scipio asked his personal staff.

"I don't know, sir, they may be at the root of the city wall. The engineers behind them were attacked. They couldn't move forward. They lost contact with the commando." The staff officer said on the phone. The phone has entered the war, and he can make the situation more favorable.

"Damn it, what I want is not possible, go up two platoons, open up the passage, get in touch with the commando, go quickly." Scipio ordered.

"Yes. Sir." The staff officer put down the phone and went to inform immediately. Li Fu also watched the changes in the front-line situation nervously, and many things were moving towards the situation they least wanted to see.

It was one of the two infantry battalions in Scipio who launched the attack. They selected officers, and the non-commissioned officers formed a commando squad. The number was about one platoon. Their task was to open the way forward. This task went smoothly at the beginning. The Carthaginians did not react. Under such circumstances, many things seem to be moving toward their expectations from the beginning.

The commando's offense is very sharp. They were equipped with shotguns, submachine guns, pistols, rifles, bayonets, shovels, Loma daggers and other weapons. Relying on these weapons, they swiftly moved forward in the trenches, continuously exploded with grenades, and hit the Carthaginians in a daze. . Following them were engineering units. They were equipped with rifles and a large number of explosives bags. These explosives bags were used to blow up the city gate and a section of the city wall, and an engineering company moved forward. In this way, they worry that they are not carrying a lot of explosives, and they still need ladders to help them solve such problems.

The situation of the war seemed to be beneficial to them. Everyone thought so, but they didn't know where the Carthaginian reserve team came out all of a sudden. They rushed to the position between the commando and the engineer. The engineer and the commando lost contact, and the commando tried to open the passage. But the effect was not great, because Carthage continued to strengthen their frontal defensive power. This makes Loma people very tricky. Faced with such a problem, Scipio had no choice but to make reinforcements, but the effect of reinforcements was not great.

"Wow. Boom. Boom." The Carthaginians' artillery troops began to attack them continuously, which caused them to suffer heavy casualties, especially their only firepower, machine guns and mortars began to be suppressed. This is very unfavorable for them, in such a situation, it will make their situation extremely difficult to act.

"It seems that the effect is not great. We should probably find a new point. Launch an offensive." Li Fu said while looking at the battle map.

"What do you mean?" Scipio asked.

"I saw that the offensive was extremely unsuccessful. We only have one offensive point. When all our forces add up, there will be more than 1,500 people at most." Li Fu said. They got the support of some Spanish tribes on the way. They hated the Carthaginians extremely, because the Carthaginians took everything they had. It was normal for them to oppose the Carthaginians, but they were against the Roma. Welcome, they see Lockheed as a liberator.

"Our ammunition is very limited. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for us to open the gap. If we continue to consume, we will last until ten o'clock in the morning at most. The ammunition will be exhausted. At that time, all our circumstances It will become extremely unfavorable. It is too late for us to retreat." Li Fu said.

"That's it." Scipio nodded. Scipio originally thought that a single attack would solve everything. He believed that the key points of the opponent could be attacked by means of surprise attacks, and the Carthaginians would certainly not react, but this was not a cold weapon battle, but a hot weapon. The existence of artillery gave Scipio a great deal of trouble. If it were not for firepower to block, the engineers might have advanced a long distance, but unfortunately, the Carthaginians had their firepower advantage, and Scipio could not suppress the opponent’s firepower at all, so Scipio The attack was greatly blocked. Under such blocking, many things will become extremely unfavorable to Scipio, because their assault team cannot further open the gap. Under such circumstances, many things will Become extremely unfavorable to them. As a result, their situation will become very bad. This is what they are most worried about right now.

"Our troops can no longer be invested. I feel that investing more troops in this direction will not play a greater role. On the contrary, our situation is getting worse. Under such circumstances, we should use other The way to open this gap, or we can try to attack in other directions." Li Fu thought for a while and said. He found that the Carthaginians began to concentrate their forces and firepower here. It can be done. A large frontal offense has been newly established here. Now that there is a frontal offense, they might as well choose to achieve an offense in other ways. For example, in other areas.

"Well, let’s not put the second battalion into it. We will move to another direction. We will send out our tribe’s army so that they can attack in an all-round way. If the passage can be opened, this is the best. Blaming them, after all, such things have a lot to do with us." Scipio said.

"Yes, that's it, what we want is such a result, which will form a very favorable situation for us." Li Fu said. Speaking, Scipio took a binoculars and looked around. He watched the large number of Carthage troops on the wall of Che's city continue to mobilize to the front. Obviously they have mobilized all, most and almost all of their military forces here. This is an extremely unfavorable situation for Scipio.

"What should we do?" Scipio said to himself. Suddenly he saw a strange situation, he found that the situation in the south seemed to be more favorable to him, and the tide had ebbed there. He felt that he should seize such an opportunity to attack.

"To the south, we put the second infantry battalion to the south." Scipio said to Li Fu.

"Why? Why is it south?" Li Fu asked puzzled. Scipio pointed at Li Fu what he had discovered. Li Fu understood, but they couldn't mobilize a battalion all at once. They had to separate their forces and go over it bit by bit. So Scipio ordered one platoon to go over, and then another platoon to go over again, just like that. In the past, although it took a lot of time, it could greatly guarantee the concealment, not only that, in order to attract the attention of the frontal Carthaginians. Scipio continued to order his troops to increase their offensive.

More ammunition was poured out, perhaps because of ammunition, or because more conditions caused this to happen. In short, the situation became extremely beneficial to them.

Carthage drew more and more troops to the front position.

"Quick. Quick, quick." Scipio nervously paid attention to the situation in the south. Compared to the frontal fight, it was very fierce. Scipio paid more attention to the situation in the south. Because there is the key to the entire battlefield. If they lose the war there, they will have nothing to say.

"War will become very unfavorable for us. In this situation, what we can do is too limited." Scipio said.

"Sir. The commando of the second battalion sent a signal. They have already boarded the city wall, and the strength of the Carthage defenders is extremely weak. Our attack was successful." A second lieutenant reported on the phone.

"Really?" Scipio asked incredulously.

"Yes, sir, they have already reached the top of the city. Look, our flag is up." said the ensign. Scipio took a binoculars and looked at it. The battlefield was still fierce. It seemed that they hadn't noticed what happened here. In their opinion, it was unlikely that something would happen here. It was obviously impossible for the opponent to notice. of. But now, the situation here does happen.

"Strengthen the forces there, quickly, and let the second battalion quickly occupy everything there. Quickly. It must not be delayed." Scipio ordered. Without a firm foothold, Scipio is still very careful to deal with this situation. For him, many things have changed a lot. He can't watch such changes develop into an unfavorable situation. The strength of the army is not much.

"Frontline. Frontline." The ensign shouted loudly at this time.
