Chapter 600: Allied forces show weakness

In the Western Regions, the war gradually subsided. Both sides tended to calm down. Allied forces in the Western Regions no longer attack. The Allied Forces of the Three Powers are changing their defenses in an orderly manner.

The two sides are so peaceful because one side has temporarily exhausted its offensive power. However, the three-nation coalition is due to preparations. Temporarily unable to attack.

The three countries first solved the command problem. This war will be mainly completed by Qin and Zhao. Therefore, the position of chief military officer is generated in the two countries. After numerous telegram discussions. Finally, Wang Jian was determined as the main commander of the war. Li Mu appeared as the chief of military staff. This is the result of national power competition. It has nothing to do with the generals' talents.

Then there is the question of names. The intelligence agency of the State of Qin referred to the coalition forces organized by the Western Regions as the Allied Forces of the Western Regions. On the other hand, he is the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, Qin, Zhao, and Han. Referred to as the Three-Power Allied Forces. The Western Region Allied Forces and the Three-Power Allied Forces are easy to confuse when reporting. To avoid this situation. At the same time, the name also draws closer the relationship between the three countries. The State of Qin proposed to change the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms into the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms. This separates the coalition and allied forces.

The offensive of the Allied Forces of the Western Regions was quickly smashed under the advanced weapons of the Allies.

First, they besieged the support points of the Qin army's defense. These support points are very difficult to hit. The firepower point is set very cleverly. The uphill that was less than a few meters high beside the road could be used by the Qin army. And those vantage points have become vantage points for artillery firing. And there are extremely dense traffic trench connections between them. As long as there is a situation there. Through these hidden trenches, a quick counterattack can be launched.

The Qin Army arranged three lines of defense. Each lane has a barbed wire arrangement. There are also dense mines hanging in the barbed wire. These mines have been brought to the extreme. In particular, anti-infantry mines transformed from wooden-handled grenades became a nightmare for the coalition forces.

This fuze grenade uses copper wire and glass tube to ignite sulfur by friction. Very suitable for infantry mines. usually. He was tied to a post of barbed wire. It is tied to some barbed wire by a drawstring. It's more cruel. Qin Jun bound a canned food box at the exploding head of the wooden handle grenade. The box is full of stones. Or the warhead is wrapped in a can. This is equivalent to installing a fragmentation device for the grenade. In fact. This kind of anti-infantry device kills amazingly. Especially within the range of the Qin Army's rifle.

Once someone triggers a landmine. It caused more deaths and injuries to people around. Especially those stones. Many people fell to the ground and yelled loudly. These calls can easily disrupt the opponent's offensive morale. And these wounded soldiers who fell to the ground could not be rescued. The coalition forces have sent people to rescue these people. But these people, especially those with rifles in Qin. The effective range of the trap gun is about one hundred to one hundred and fifty steps. Within this distance. The injured person becomes a good bait. Those who tried to rescue became living targets. It is also for this reason. The rescue was abandoned. Those baits kept moaning. Until the last drop of blood drained. Or be frozen to death alive.

This situation caused the morale of the coalition forces to plummet. And they couldn't break through the **** barbed wire. Landmines. rifle. machine gun. A firepower network formed by artillery. They can only give up the offense. Turn around. Then take a detour. But they are often attacked by the opponent's artillery.

These support points have seriously disrupted the coalition's offensive. The offense on the front line is also often not smooth.

All the Allied forces invested in fast-reacting cavalry units. But they have all become infantry now. They began to dig trenches and defend. But the ground can't be dug at all. They can only use ice or trees to make temporary working hours. The barbed wire uses a large number of snake-shaped barbed wire. This kind of barbed wire only needs to fix a few points. and. This barbed wire has undergone three innovations. The first is the material. The barbed wire was changed to steel wire. Or a mix of steel. The original wire hook has been replaced with a sharp barb blade. If this kind of blade is caught. That's unfortunate. You will be severely scraped off a piece of meat. Many coalition soldiers have suffered from this type of barbed wire. A small piece of flesh was scraped off the human body abruptly. Although there is no life-threatening. But it was extremely painful. This allows many coalition forces to focus on avoiding the barbed wire. The disadvantage of the concentration is that it was strafed by Qin's machine gun. But the artillery bombardment speed is a bit slow. Mainly after increasing the range. The overall line of defense is enlarged. Especially the artillery distance. They are usually two or three miles away from the infantry. Telephone can only reach command at the regiment level. The artillery could not get the position in time. This makes the artillery very depressed.

In addition, the barbed wire equipped by the Allied forces was made in rolls. A small roll of Shangwen carried by the cavalry usually has a length of twenty steps. If the team continues to expand. The defender has a great advantage.

In addition, there are a large number of anti-personnel landmines. The defense surface is very large. The number is small. Landmines have become a good means of blockade. A large number of minefields were arranged by the Qin State Engineering Corps. These minefields play a very good role in blocking Shangwen.

The coalition forces once sent a large number of cavalry to outflank the Allies. Blockades are often large vacancies. The cavalry directly attacked the minefield. The consequence is. The casualties were heavy. This made the coalition forces have to be cautious. No longer dare to take the ground at will.

Barbed wire, defensive mines, minefields make it difficult for the opponent to move. After increasing the range, the team’s artillery caused a sharp increase in the number of coalition casualties. They had to step back. Basically outside the artillery line of fire.

More terrifying is the offense. As long as the "sud" sound is basically an attack, it will be disintegrated. Because this machine gun can kill offensive coalition forces like a harvester.

Only two to three machine guns exist. The riflemen are aiming and shooting very leisurely. If the time is longer. Artillery will also join the killing army.

In short. The Allied defense was easy. Some new infantry replaced those cavalry. A large number of weapon observers also came at the same time. They want to summarize the use of weapons. Disadvantages. Then make improvements.

The Allied forces completed defense and defense tasks very leisurely. On the other hand, the Shangwen coalition attacked less and less. This prevented the photographers of the Qin State battlefield from shooting intense and exciting war scenes. You know this is what King Qin wants to see.

The situation of the opposing coalition forces is very bad. 120,000 horses were dispatched this time. In less than half a month, more than 30,000 people were killed. In addition, there are many injuries. The fight to this point is already obvious. Withdrawal is the best choice. And their opponents. Allied forces. It takes time. Especially to hold back the time of the coalition forces. in case. The opponent ran away suddenly. Then the Allied forces will be prepared for nothing. Wang Ben thinks. The Allied forces should show weakness.
