Chapter 618: The last offensive of the coalition forces

With the successful airborne of the special squadron, the Allied forces then began a large-scale force preparation phase. The temporary airport was full of all kinds of airships. The large civilian airship will airlift the parachute troops of the four companies to the landing site, while the bombing airship will load twenty one-stone aerial bombs at a time, and they will drop the bombs behind the allied forces in the Western Regions.

Artillery troops quickly added new artillery. They will use new sighting equipment such as goniometers and fixation scopes to launch artillery shells, and prepare for firepower before the start of the war.

The infantry units began to enter the trenches, and they were ordered to start charging after the fire was ready. The engineering units nervously cleared some barbed wire and landmines, all of which were preparing for the counterattack, but just when everything was ready. The accident happened again.

The allied forces of the Western Regions launched a fierce onslaught. The battle began with the sneak attack on April 10.

On the 10th, a small strand of barbed wire passed through the Allied forward position and successfully avoided the mine area. The day before yesterday, the engineers just removed the mine in that area. This allowed this small unit to pass through. As it was on the eve of the counterattack, the trenches were full of soldiers waiting to attack. And these unlucky Western Union soldiers unexpectedly entered these trenches.

They didn't know what was going on and jumped into the trench. When they fell into the trench, they realized that the trench was full of Allied soldiers. Soldiers on both sides were surprised.

The Western Region Allied Forces never expected that there would be so many people standing in this trench. They immediately yelled loudly. I don't know what to say. Immediately, the Allied soldiers also reacted, picking up the rifle as a butt, and the opponent was obviously still in fear. With this butt, the trenches immediately became a mess. The bayonet, the spear of the Western Regions, the crescent knife, the soldiers on both sides were in a mess. There are also people who use guns to shoot without knowing the severity. In short, this trench is full of people.

With the sound of gunshots, the Allied soldiers had not yet reacted, and the Western Region Allied Forces unexpectedly reacted first, and the Western Region Allied Forces, who were screaming, launched a massive attack.

They attacked from the point where they had broken through beforehand. Because it was dark, allied positions were urgently fired with various flares. Under the illumination of the flares, groups of allied forces in the Western Regions were crossing the barbed wire and mine areas that had been cleared beforehand. That area was originally launched for the Allies. Those who prepared for the offensive have now become an offensive channel for the Allied Forces of the Western Regions.

"Shoot. Quick, shoot." The field commander immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot. Sporadic gunshots began to rang, and the machine gun teams quickly lifted the machine guns out of the bunker. They had to complete the assembly as quickly as possible, which usually took forty-five seconds. Then install the bullet chain.

"One hundred steps on the ruler, shoot." The squad leader ordered. This distance is almost useless. The enemy is usually attacking in groups. Only in this way can the cold weapons in their hands be able to exert their maximum effectiveness. The guns in the hands of the Allied forces basically do not need to do this. They usually use machine guns. The center spreads out, although a company has only three machine guns. But this is enough to deal with the attack of five thousand opponents.

"Aim at both sides of the barbed wire, we must concentrate our firepower to sweep them down." The commander ordered.

"Bang Bang." A Zhao Jun machine gun pulled the bolt and started shooting. The machine gun began to fire quickly, and it is estimated that it could kill many people even if you close your eyes. The water-cooled Lilin machine gun exerts its maximum effectiveness. The rate of fire suddenly reached a high rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute. This kind of shooting would generally not allow such a mess, but now, under the flares, there are enemies everywhere. They screamed and attacked here. As long as you kill them, nothing will be taken care of.

"Damn it, what a valve rifle, it's a dead end rifle." A Zhao Jun infantry soldier took out a bayonet and picked the cartridge out of the magazine. Because of the expansion of the bullet, the cartridge was stuck in the magazine.

"Shut up, let's talk about it. I killed you." Officer Zhao Jun shouted. He wants to prevent such complaints from appearing. In this tense atmosphere, it is easy to interfere with other soldiers' operations.

The noise of gunfire and the emotions of people in the **** environment are difficult to control. There are often two extremes of differentiation. This is the morale that Zhao Jun understands. In order to control this differentiation. You need to monotonously control the other side. Encourage the other side.

"Hurry up and tell the artillery. Let them fire quickly. Otherwise, we won't be able to kill those **** Western Regions" front-line defense regiment-level command.

"Hey. This is the Red Armored Zone. It needs artillery support." A staff officer called the artillery loudly. The telephone line is connected to the forward position. This can directly maintain the coordination of artillery and infantry. As the range of the artillery increases. Especially the advent of the age of fixed-load medicine. At the same time, new propellant and warhead were installed. The power of the artillery increased. The range has reached ten miles. The curved shooting range reached 14 miles. This distance has basically exceeded the line of sight.

The artillery was rear-mounted. The contact between the infantry and the artillery requires a rapid telephone connection. Artillery observers were specially set up on the front line. Use the goniometer to calculate the shooting distance of the artillery. Ballistics and so on.

"What? You can't fire the cannon without an order. Go to hell. You roll over for me to take a look. What's happening on the front line. Everywhere...Hey," the staff officer called out loudly.

"I'm an artillery observer. I'll make a call." said an officer with a collar with two crossed artillery.

"Okay." He handed it to the artillery observer.

But the telephone operator informed the artillery observer. The telephone line is very busy. Can't connect now.

Helpless. The only way to send a messenger to the artillery is to see what happened.

And in the artillery way. The phone kept ringing. The artillery staff can only patiently explain the above commands. At the same time, the artillery chief had to communicate with the supreme chief by telephone. After all, he didn't know the specific situation here. He knew that guns were being fired everywhere on the front line.

"Sir. All front-line commanders demanded that we shoot immediately." The artillery commander said.

"I know. Order the experimental infantry guns to shoot forward. Do not shoot the curved artillery. The specific shooting order is waiting for my order." Wang Ben said while holding the phone. And Li Xin is working with the staff to mark out the situation on the battlefield one by one.

"How? Is the situation clear?" Wang Ben put down the phone and asked.

"Wars are everywhere. The entire front line is everywhere." Li Xin's red pencil marked all the places where the war was reported.

"It seems that there are still a lot of places to attack." Wang Ben looked very relaxed.

"I really don't understand. These Western Regions think so. Why do you want to launch such a worthless offensive. If it is me, I will take the initiative to retreat. Back to the original defensive area." Wang Ben said his thoughts. speak out.

"You mean they attacked to retreat?" Li Xin asked.

"This kind of possibility cannot be ruled out. And it's too abnormal. Attacked for so long. No step forward. Now suddenly launched an attack. This is too abnormal." Wang Ben continued.

"Indeed. The more so. The greater the possibility." Li Xin said.

"Regardless of the possibility. We have to react. I don't think we can directly counterattack this time." Wang Ben proposed.

"What about the heavens? Those are the airborne troops." Li Xin started from the perspective of the heavenly army.

"It's one o'clock in the morning. We might as well fight in the white sky. Give the artillery half an hour to prepare. Launch the artillery. Then the bombing squadron bombed the opposing marching group. Then. The airborne troops will be airborne at noon or very afternoon. You must know to advance one. Baili. We need about three days. Let's start preparing now!" Wang Ben said by looking at his pocket watch.

"You are more courageous than your father. I have to tell your father about the situation here." Li Xin said. He admired this guy in his heart. This guy is a natural mobile fighter. The plan was not prepared for him at all. The randomness is too strong.

"Whatever." Wang Ben didn't matter. Then let the chief of staff **** it to give combat orders.

The front was extremely fierce. The machine gun tank was steaming hot. The other members of the machine gun kept pumping and refilling water. The secondary shooter nervously changed the bullet chain. The ammunition hand ran back and forth with the ammunition box in both hands.

"Odd, aim. Release." An Allied officer stood in the trench and calmly issued the firing command.

"Even, aim, release." A soldier got up and shot. Then quickly entered the trenches. Then the other soldier heard the command and quickly got up and shot. This platoon gun shooting tactic is very effective against the combined attacks of the Western Regions. You must know that no automatic weapons were born at this time. The slow rate of fire needs to be compensated tactically.

Gunshots kept ringing. And these soldiers are full of discarded bullet casings under their feet. Especially the machine gun side. The bullet shells have piled up into a hill.

And at a distance of a hundred steps away. The corpse of the Allied Forces of the Western Regions is also a mountain. They are Shishan. Crazy rain of bullets smashed these fleshy bodies to the ground. Many people were shot and fell. Especially when facing machine guns. Those soldiers from the Western Regions are like cutting wheat. Falling down one after another. Fingers hit by bullets, bloodshot arms half pulled. The bones have been broken by six or five bullets. This bullet is as fierce as a .50-inch bullet. In fact, this caliber bullet is more powerful than that.

Although the bone was interrupted. But blood vessels and muscle tissue are still connected to the arm. This makes people look very scary. But this was just a flash. Soon his body was smashed by bullets like raindrops.

The bullet directly hit the head of the Western Regions wearing a leather helmet and pulled it halfway. The sky spirit cover and helmet flew away directly. The splashing brain splashed all over the place. Then, mixed with blood all over the floor, he fell down a body.

More soldiers from the Western Regions were killed and wounded by bullets. Dead obscurity. Live and wait for death. The wound became numb. The pain is disappearing. The painful moan became weak. The falling flares gradually went out. And there is a new flare in the sky. Light up the battlefield of killing like daylight. The Western Region Allied Forces knew they were afraid. But fear is their motivation. If you retreat, you will be executed by capital punishment. It would be better to die like this.

The result of the battlefield is almost one-sided. The Western Region Allied Forces armed with cold weapons have no resistance. They were slaughtered as if standing in line. And the blood that the Allied forces killed. They know that they can't let each other get close to within a hundred steps. This is the security line of Allied defense.

"Artillery. Artillery is coming." Officer Zhao Jun shouted. Their machine guns boiled. The kid holding the water didn't know where he died. The officer has greeted his 18th generation of women. Still not coming. Firepower is most needed at this time.

"Aim. Release." The three-inch direct-fire cannon is an infantry cannon specially developed for infantry. But this is an experimental product. Even experimental products have to be used.

"Huh." The cannonball roared out. The sound of the shells made his ears hurt.

"Bang." The shell exploded in the crowd. The first person to catch the shell was shattered by the explosion. Minced meat splashed around. And the people on the side are unlucky. Shrapnel knocked them to the ground.

Such an offense is meaningless. Only let more people die. Life has become worthless here.

"Yes, I understand." After the artillery commander finished the call, he immediately issued a new order.

"Order all the artillery to aim at the predetermined unit. The firepower in the third group of guns shoots at the forward position target. Then the firepower is extended. The third group is the reserve group. Generally, it is not used much. Once activated, it means that a special situation arrives.

"Time" asked the chief of staff.

"Two to fifteen minutes." The artillery commander issued an order.

The chief of staff then called to inform. The various artillery units were quickly conveyed complete orders. They will carry out the fiercest artillery offensive in Qin history so far. Approximately two hundred new artillery pieces will be aimed at all predetermined targets, and the forward positions will be bombarded violently.

Box after box of shells were opened. The fuze was taken out and installed on the warhead of the shell. Steering machine adjustment. Horizontal machine adjustment. Shooting yuan adjustment. The artillery tuned the artillery nervously. The three artillery units in a row are spread out. And the artillery of a company spread out in a big word. All the muzzles were aimed at the direction of the Allied Forces in the Western Regions.

"Emergency assembly." "Emergency assembly." "Parachute troops gather in area No. 1." "Boat troops gather in area 2." Repeat. "On an elevated bridge. The Celestial Army officers loudly planned the flow of troops. Many soldiers assembled with weapons. The equipment required temporary preparation. To provide lighting for the airport. A set of generator equipment was specially provided at the rear. Nearly a hundred boxes of electric light bulbs were provided. .

"Are we going to airborne?" a Zhao Jun paratrooper asked nervously.

"Yes. I think so." Sergeant Zhao Jun replied.

"But we are not ready yet," the soldier said.

"Shut up. If you're ready, don't call a war." The sergeant said impatiently. At the beginning of the war, there is always some tension and unpleasantness.

"One company. Assemble for equipment." An officer in charge of parachuting called out loudly.

The equipped carriage arrived on time. They talked about special orders. Lead them to the designated area under the guidance of the military police.

The soldiers received equipment nervously and orderly. They will use portable backpacks. There is what they want in it. Emergency dry food. Convenient food for the day. Personal daily necessities. Toothbrush, tooth powder, soap. Candles, lighters, blankets, portable ground pouches. Spare clothes. First aid kit.

Weapons and equipment. Each carried one hundred and fifty rounds of bullets. All the bullet belts are full. For the convenience of activities. Some people took out the bullets from the bullet belt and put them in their backpacks.

"Everyone checks their personal marching backpacks. See what is missing?" the officer said loudly.

"Oh! I lack a can opener." A soldier said while looking at the can.

"Shut up. You can use a dagger bayonet instead." The platoon leader came over and reprimanded.

"Don't make trouble for me," the second lieutenant platoon leader said.

"Any problem? Second lieutenant." Officer S asked.

"No. Nothing," the ensign replied.

"Very good." The officer nodded.

"Everyone come to the front to get the parachute. You will parachute in the air at two hundred steps." The officer said.

Then all the paratroopers began to receive their main umbrellas. Prepare an umbrella. As a group, the two began to wear parachute gear to each other. After being worn, the paratroopers are inspected uniformly. When everything is ready, go to the rest area to rest. Breakfast will be served at six o'clock.

The breakfast is very rich. Milk, ham sausage. bread. Instant noodles. There are sodas. But the officer wouldn't let him drink too much. It is very inconvenient to go to the toilet because it is equipped with a parachute.

In the landing zone, it is much easier. They just need to prepare their backpacks. Fang was just after the airship landed, they just opened the door and rushed out.

The soldiers were playing cards. Specially sent from the rear. Or just chat. Soft drinks, tea and beverages are openly available. Drinks are strictly controlled. The officer will check back and forth.

And in several other temporary airports. The ground crew is quite busy. The first is that they have to check the airship, the plane. Next is the installation of various ammunition weapons.

"One aerial bomb after another is installed in the pod. The machine gun is equipped with a chain of 100 rounds. Various machinery is under inspection.

All pilots wear leather jackets. Put on a leather cap. The goggles are placed on the head. Eat breakfast immediately after dressing. They may take off to fight at any time. The ground crew was busy sweating profusely.

Just when everything is nervously prepared. There was a rumble of cannons ahead. The offense finally began.

"Let it go." The artillery commander yelled.

The gun rope pulls. The artillery burst into flames. Shot out howling shells. The artillery opened the bolt. The smoking shell was thrown out. Then load the second round. The artillery continued to fire.

The roaring shells suppressed the fierce gunfire in the forward position.

"Huh. Rumble." In a short moment. The cannonball smashed down fiercely. The explosion stopped everything. Allied soldiers stopped pulling the trigger. The stressed soldier fell to the ground relaxedly at this moment.

it is finally over. And more soldiers suddenly didn't know what happened. All I know is that there are constant explosions behind the people of the Western Regions. The offensive of the allied forces in the Western Regions collapsed. They began to flee in all directions.

"Papa" At this time, the machine gun was still firing inertially.

"Stop shooting. Stop shooting." The officer ordered.

"Enough. Stop shooting." At this time the shooter looked at the officer. Then he fell to the ground like a slack. Shooting with a machine gun is too exciting. The irritating machine gun shooter was a little numb.
