Chapter 629 Counterattack
The front of the Beilun defense line was 47 kilometers wide, and more than a thousand artillery types bombarded for half an hour, turning the Beilun defense line into a sea of fire, with its power extremely amazing.
As time comes
The artillery fire on the dozens of kilometers long front ended abruptly, and the choking smell of smoke lingered like smog. At this time, the shrill sound of Scottish bagpipes came, and the offensive music was played...
Countless Southern Federation soldiers wearing blue-gray uniforms left the position and spread out with long spears under the guidance of the division flag, like endless blue-gray locusts, bringing an endless atmosphere of slaughter to this land that was not yet dawn.
On the position of the Ocean Kingdom
Countless barbed wire, Luzhai, horse-rewarding and trenches were blown up, and the earth seemed to have been hit by a meteorite rain, and there were pits everywhere, charred.
The originally lush green wasteland was covered with the soil deep in the depths, green and yellow everywhere. Southern Federation soldiers rushed up like a tide. They saw empty trenches, torn clothes, canned boxes and empty ammunition boxes everywhere, but there was no fantasy of corpses everywhere.
Those Orientals ran away?
"Wow... it's a victory!"
Without suffering any casualties, they rushed to the enemy's position and occupied the Beilun defense line surprisingly smoothly. This made the soldiers of the Southern Federation Army ecstatic and cheered loudly. Tens of thousands of people shouted excitedly, and the sound waves rushed to the sky like a tide.
Several commanders of the Southern Army came to the empty position, looked at the trenches that could not be seen at the edge, and they soon realized that this was not a good thing;
The secret combat information of the Southern Federal Army was leaked, and the enemy played a trick to escape. The heavy punch hit the empty space, which was so uncomfortable!
Occupying the position is victory, and ordinary soldiers can't control so many. They throw their military caps into the air to celebrate. Countless military caps are flying in the air, and many white soldiers even dance with their butts twisted and danced, with a joyful atmosphere.
The news soon reached the Southern Federal Army Command. Admiral Gavin Williamson knew that it was a bad dish when he heard it. This obviously leaked important military information. It was really a clown that Prime Minister Jeff Bridges, the crow;
I set off expensive fireworks, but the birds were not caught.
Now is not the time to investigate who leaks important military information. If you really want to talk about the senior commanders here, they are all unshirkable and suspected of leaking the secret. He reacted quickly and laughed and said, "The battle process is as perfect as we expected. I will immediately order all departments to advance as planned in advance, surround and capture the city of Novorossiysk, pay attention to search for the main forces of the fleeing enemy forces, and find opportunities to mobilize heavy troops to surround and annihilate them."
It’s not uncomfortable to hit the empty space with one punch.
The brutal battle for the Beilun defense line position in the original plan was gone, and the plan to advance north could only be advanced.
No one can be a senior officer. The officers knew that the commander-in-chief was fooling the senior officials of the Southern Federation, and that they were bullying them without understanding military affairs, so they followed them with them;
"It's great. I'll order all departments to take advantage of the victory and quickly expand the results of victory."
"The enemy must not run far, I will ask for battle on behalf of the cavalry division."
"Mr. Commander, this is such a fantastic start. I guess those unsavvy Orientals are already scared. We just need to drive them away like catching hares to attack the northern towns. I can't wait for this."
"It's amazing. These are the oriental people I know. They are gentle, cowardly and unrighteous in words. They can only dig food in the soil like an old ox. Dance of swords and guns is not their good job."
"Hahaha... That's right, these Chinese are the best slaves. Maybe this is their fate, right?"
At this moment, the sun rose to the sky and spread the dazzling light on the earth. A new day has come.
On the long Beilun defense line, there were large groups of blue-gray Southern Alliance soldiers everywhere. A fierce white cavalry was ready to set off and rushed to the north...
"Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da..."
Suddenly, a large number of heavy machine gun fire appeared behind the hills, and the dense firepower network formed a fiercely enveloped the white cavalry troops. The fighting horses rolled and fell to the ground. The white cavalry seemed to hit an invisible wall, and they all fell to the ground, rolling in smoke and dust.
Oh, Maiga...what is going on?
Before the commander of the Southern Federation Army realized something, he could only hear the rumbling roar like thunder in the distance, and a large area of black projectiles covered the sky and came to his eyes in the blink of an eye.
For a moment
The Beilun defense line was once again ravaged by countless artillery fires. Large groups of explosive flames were accompanied by dirt, guns and corpse fragments were thrown away. The white infantry who had just twisted their butts to celebrate were already shrouded in a sea of fire before they could react.
Oh, Spicy... This is such a fucking ending bird!
General Gavin Williamson suddenly realized the truth and realized that he had been fooled by the enemy. His face turned pale and the veins on his forehead stormed, but it was too late.
The senior officers who were originally happy and self-deceiving in the command center were now slapped in the face, and they no longer had the same aura as before. They were instructed and became dumbfounded.
Now the facts are clear
After exploring the secret offensive information of the Southern Federation Army, the cunning Oriental moved the overall position back 4 to 5 kilometers on the eve of the attack, dug up the trenches and defended them again, and equipped many artillery to wait for the Southern Federation to take the bait directly.
Now on the long front
The soldiers of the Northern Army have retreated to the range of artillery fire. Only a large number of Southern Federation soldiers were exposed to the muzzles of both sides. They are currently being ravaged by artillery fire. How could it be a miserable word?
The white cavalry troops searching ahead were blocked by heavy machine guns, which should be the new line of defense that the Northern Army had accumulated.
Be careless, too careless...
"Quick, remove the troops quickly." Admiral Gavin Williamson jumped three feet high in a hurry.
This timely order reminded the senior officers of the command center. They immediately started to act like a blow-out. The commanders from the command department scattered, and the rest were waving the phone frantically to convey the order to retreat across the line.
Admiral Gavin Williamson looked at the densely covered bombing like the eruption in front of him, and was so heartbroken that he was about to drip blood...
Today's era
At the end of the line infantry tactics (queuing shooting tactics). The brutal Civil War of the United States and the application of continuous gun fire technology have shaken the dominance of the world's army line infantry tactics, and a new line of straggler tactics emerged.
The British Army, which stubbornly adhered to the tradition, still adopted the traditional tactics of line infantry. The German Empire, France and Austro-Hungary Empires have begun to accept the straggling line tactics and try to make changes.
Today, the European power has not yet received the brutal beating of World War I. Due to information obstruction and outdated concepts, upper-level officers generally do not pay attention to the role of digging deep trenches. There is no solid trenches that are more than two meters deep, no anti-aircraft holes, and no complete trench system.
This kind of army earthwork is considered to be the cowardly behavior of the mole, and is unanimously despised by the white upper-class officers with strong aristocratic knight plots. They are always considered to be humiliating the fearless spirit of sacrifice of the soldiers. Therefore, the half-man-high chest wall and shallow groove are popular.
The Beilun defense line built by the Ocean Kingdom is such a product, which is effective in resisting infantry attacks, but it is just a piece of paper in the face of fierce artillery fire, which is torn and smashed in a blink of an eye.
The countless soldiers of the Southern Federation Army relied on their thin chest walls and shallow ditch to resist artillery bombing. You can imagine how difficult it is?
In the explosion of fire after ball, in the huge fog-like smoke
Uncounted southern soldiers ran away with their heads in their arms, wrapped in explosive flames from time to time, and their limbs were broken and flew into the sky with the soil.
The sound of cannons rolled like thunder, and screams echoed through the sky.
Faced with the huge casualties of the attacking legion, General Gavin Williamson looked at the hellish scene ahead with a twisted face, punching him hard on the wall. His heart was tormented by strong self-blame, and his infinite anger towards the Orientals.
Prime Minister Jeff Bridges finally couldn't help but say, "Well, please sorry to bother Mr. General, this is probably not what we are willing to see..."
"Okay, shut up, now ask you ignorant and stupid politicians to leave here, and now...get out of my command post." General Gavin Williamson roared in shock. He himself didn't know why he had such a strong anger and why he poured mercilessly on the other party. There was no reason.
Really, it seems to be possessed by a devil.
He could not suppress the boiling anger in his heart, and pointed at the front line and shouted, "The heroic soldiers are paying the price of their lives for victory, but you are talking to me about whether their performance is in line with expectations. Please leave here now and do not affect our command of the war. Every battle is bloody and cruel. I don't have time to explain it to you."
Uh... OK.
Facing the furious supreme military commander, a group of white hardliners left the command post in shame and didn't even dare to let go.
The counterattack artillery fire of the Northern Army did not last long. After only 15 minutes, the fierce artillery fire covered the bombing came to an abrupt end.
Amid the thick fog-like gray-black smoke, a loud sound of attacking horns came.
Countless northern soldiers wearing gray and yellow uniforms rushed up like sea tides with sharp bayonets, chasing the Southern Federation soldiers who were fleeing in a panic, and quickly recovered the lost territory.
Many white soldiers from the Southern Federation who were bombed and confused were surrendered, but more of them fled in scattered, and they fled back to their original formation. They were so shocked that they were so shocked that they were scattered.
In the impression of ordinary white cowboys in the south, Chinese are generally docile, low-key and introverted nations, who look hard and easy to bully. Now the battlefield has taught them a vivid lesson, and those experiences are all deceptive.
The Northern Army's counterattack was very restrained and only sent a few assault troops to recover the frontline positions. The army stopped outside the range of artillery fire of the Southern Federation Army, and then listed a complete queue to demonstrate, returning to the attack position at noon.
Today's battle ended in a terrible way. The Southern Confederate Army launched a large-scale attack, not only did not occupy inch of land, but instead paid a heavy price of losing more than 13,000 people, including more than 3,700 captured officers and soldiers. The army was forced to retreat to the starting point of the attack.
This good start was a squinting shot.
