Battlefield Contractor

Lin Rui's troops deployed in Bonifacio finally moved. Those Anmore troops from Bonifacio launched a very violent attack in order to rescue the coastal fortresses.

As soon as it came up, it continued to rely on violent artillery bombardment of the defensive positions of the Orumi Federal Army.

They have no shortage of heavy weapons, and their bazooka battalions and Avengers cannons make the Oromi Federation army's position precarious. Many local trenches were completely filled up by rocket fire.

Being able to dispatch thousands of people to attack the coastal fortresses is already the limit of what General Yves can do at present. If he cannot conquer the coastal fortresses tomorrow, he must ask the Red Baron to dispatch reinforcements.

While the Orumi Federation Army was attacking the coastal fortresses, the commanders of the Anmor troops at all levels did not rest in the coastal fortresses.

Hodgson spent the night checking the readiness to soothe the residents of Ellesmere Port. Hundreds of people died, many of the women wept terribly, and a few apparently lost their nerves.

His officers were checking combat readiness all night, urging Yucheng residents and militiamen to repair damaged fortifications overnight. The quality of these emergency repair works is indeed not very good, but it is better than nothing.

Some officers personally inspected each firepower and ammunition reserves, and at the same time arranged the patrol route for tomorrow, focusing on searching for the dynamics of the Orumi Federal Army in the periphery.

Both sides are sparing no effort to prepare for a more brutal fight.

By the next morning, just as it was dawn, the mercenary reconnaissance unit had already penetrated into the enemy's position. This time, however, Lincoln immediately realized that something was wrong.

It turned out that the Orumi Federation army scattered their artillery, fighting each other, and pressing towards the coastal fortresses from multiple directions. The two mechanized infantry regiments of the Orumi Federal Army also entered the battle, and they fought each other, and the distance between them was very wide.

In this way, although the firepower is scattered, it is very difficult for the rocket launchers on Anmor's side to carry out precise strikes.

After all, the rocket launcher relies on firepower coverage to create ranged damage, and the hit rate of a single launch is really not high. If this one can be bombed, but that one cannot be bombed, there will definitely be some artillery pieces of the Orumi Federation Army that can enter the firing array to bomb the coastal fortresses.

Under the cover of these cannon howitzers fighting each other, Orumi Federation soldiers formed more than a dozen columns, approaching the coastal fortress from multiple directions. Facing the Oromi Federation soldiers coming from all directions, a heavy artillery battalion providing cover for the coastal fortresses must be too busy. The **** Orume Federation army is indeed very cunning. In desperation, Lincoln had no choice but to report the situation. Lin Rui.

"It's interesting! These cunning guys! But this also shows that General Yves is very eager to take down the coastal fortresses," Lin Rui sneered and ordered the heavy artillery battalion to attack in advance. Most of his heavy artillery battalions are rocket artillery, and there are also a small number of large-caliber cannon howitzers, but the biggest drawback is that the number is still too small to deal with so many Oromi federal troops at the same time. And they must buy time for Hodgson as much as possible.

"Damn it!" Hodgson learned all this from the information he received, and couldn't help scolding. General Yves is indeed an experienced commander. After suffering a loss, they immediately took advantage of the Anmor army.

Because in the common conception, artillery is shooting in groups, who would have thought that they would actually spread out and fight each other? This bastard!

"The order is to go on, and be prepared to defend against artillery." Hodgson said calmly.

The current situation is not good for them.

No matter how shrewd Hodgson is, or how heroic and skilled Lin Rui's heavy artillery battalion is, after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The heavy artillery of the Anmore Army will definitely not be able to eliminate the completely dispersed Oromi Federation Army artillery in a short period of time, and they will certainly have a considerable amount of time to bomb Ellesmere Port.

Although the coastal fortress of the Anmor army may not be shaken in a short time, Ellesmere Port cannot.

Although the coastal fortress is in Ellesmere Port, the fortifications of Ellesmere Port itself cannot exceed the strength of military facilities. The inland dwellings in the port city are also fragile brick houses, which cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery shells at all. A single shell can demolish a large area of ​​houses. Civilian casualties would spiral out of control.

Hodgson could only watch helplessly as the Orumi Federal Army approached step by step. Those cunning infantrymen, under the cover of light armor, still adopted a zigzag marching route, giving the Anmore army a chance to block them.

Around these armors, there are also a large number of Oromi federal soldiers shooting guns to prevent the Anmor army from blocking them.

Although the smoothbore guns on the light armor are not as powerful as the cannon howitzers, they can still damage the solid fortifications of the Anmor army at a distance of four or five hundred meters.

In this way, the defenders of the outer positions of Anmore had to get close to fighting if they wanted to destroy these armors with bazooka. If you get close, you will be killed first.

However, the light armor of the Orumi Federation army is mobile, and it is very difficult to target and destroy them at too long distances. What's more abhorrent is that Anmor's army does not carry many anti-tank rockets, so they cannot be wasted casually.

So, the Orumi Federation army gradually approached the position, but Anmor-kun had no good way to take them.

Gradually, the light armor of the Orumi Federation army entered the range and began to attack the ground. At the same time, almost all the Olumi Federation army cannon howitzers were deployed at the same time, making Anmore's heavy artillery battalion unable to take into account at the same time, and only a part of them could be selected as targets.

Boom... One round of bombing came down, but the effect was not very good. The first round of ground bombing only destroyed one cannon howitzer.

The main reason is that the cannon howitzers of the Orumi Federation Army are too scattered, which seriously affects the shooting of the rocket artillery with its own accuracy. In addition, there is a more terrible problem is the smoke. The Oromi federal troops released smoke bombs around their respective cannons, producing a lot of smoke. The smoke drifted into the air and was blown away by the breeze, which also affected the observation accuracy of artillery reconnaissance to a certain extent.

Obviously, they had intensive training last night and came up with a lot of ways to deal with the Anmor army.

Indeed, these methods have produced a certain effect, especially the diffuse smoke. Although it caused a lot of trouble for the Orumi Federation Army's own artillery, it seemed that the confusion to the Anmor Army was even greater.

General Hodgson was anxious and angry, and took his adjutant to the observation station in person, only to find a white field in the distance. It takes very careful attention to find the existence of the enemy.

What's more troublesome is that the enemy's light armor is also raiding through the smoke.

boom boom boom…

Part of the Orumi Federation armor that was already approaching began to fire, and artillery shells fell sporadically around the position.

Also because of the smoke, there is no uniform firing data, and these light armors are obviously not effective when firing. Most of the shells missed, and some even landed about a thousand meters away from the position.

However, after the first round of test firing, they corrected the firing data, and the degree of deviation of the shells was much reduced. Of course they are getting closer.

boom boom boom…

The shells of the Olumi Federation Army Cannon Howitzers were basically hit, because they were targeting the civilian buildings in Ellesmere Port, and the landing points of the shells from different directions were different.

Although the damage to the coastal fortresses was limited, it caused huge damage to various locations in Ellesmere Port. Contiguous houses were collapsed, and bricks, tiles, and debris were everywhere.

Those residents in the nearby Ellesmere Port were naturally killed very much, and the cries and screams suddenly became a mess.

Civilians are different from fighters. They are very poor at enduring war. After some people were shelled, they fell into a state of hysterical panic, running around and screaming constantly.

Panic is contagious, and the panic behavior of this small number of residents has caused even greater panic.

Many local residents have forgotten the previous instructions of the Anmor army not to hide in the house when the enemy is shelling. As a result, they habitually chose the house to avoid the artillery fire.

As a result, an artillery shell often exploded into a brick house, causing more casualties, and many people were directly buried alive.

The more people died, the more panic the surviving people became, and the more wrong the measures were taken. General Hodgson had no choice but to sigh when he saw their tragic situation.

In order to avoid riots in the city, General Hodgson must also allocate part of his troops to maintain law and order.

The original local police force was simply unreliable at this time and could only implement tough wartime military control.

Although the strategic location of Ellesmere Port is important, it is a battleground for military strategists, and the war seems to have never ended.

However, the previous battlefields were basically concentrated in places like Pinestone Town and Myrto. For the residents under the protection of the fortress group on the north bank of the Kem River, they had been away from the war for a long time. At this time, the fire of war suddenly came, and they were not prepared accordingly. Perhaps, they did not accept the test of war well.

The peripheral positions held by the Anmor army were not lightly damaged.

A large gap appeared in the annular battlefield on the right. Most of the five or six Anmor soldiers and several militiamen carrying ammunition on the edge of the gap were killed. Stopped halfway through.

Everyone knew that those light armors had great lethality, and they did too much damage to the peripheral positions. If they were allowed to wreak havoc, the peripheral positions would definitely not be able to hold.

"Damn it!" General Hodgson wanted to take his weapon and go to the front line, but in the end he had to lie tightly on the protective wall of the bunker, staring at the enemy's movements with fiery eyes. At this time, only the heavy artillery battalion can kill the enemy, but General Hodgson is now very dissatisfied with their performance.

The attack continues.

As if in order to shoot the most shells in the shortest time, the artillerymen of the Orumi Federation Army went crazy and smashed the shells viciously. Not many shells directly hit the fortress buildings, and more shells fell in the city and exploded. A circle of dense air waves.

Just the shock wave of the explosion can raze a large area of ​​houses to the ground. After dozens of ground artillery shells fell, the casualties of Ellesmere Port residents skyrocketed, and the Anmore army also lost a lot of people.

Witnessing the bombardment of Ellesmere Port, the morale of the Orume Federal Army soldiers who participated in the attack was boosted, and it seemed that even the pace of the charge had sped up.

In brutal wars, morale is very important and very delicate. With the support of their own artillery and the cover of light armor, the Orumi Federation soldiers swept away the frustration that they were unable to lift their heads under the fire of the Anmor army yesterday. He shouted excitedly and launched an attack on the outer positions. On the contrary, Anmore's defenders, after being bombed, also seemed to be in a rage, eager to immediately confront the enemy soldiers and take revenge.

At this time, Lin Rui's artillery finally took down the enemy's three artillery pieces, which to a certain extent hit the arrogance of the Oromi Federation artillery.

However, other cannon howitzers continued to rage, and several rocket artillery vehicles moved slowly, looking for targets that could be bombed. The smoke is full of gunpowder below, and it is difficult for the reconnaissance troops to accurately locate the target. However, the Oromi Federation Army artillery that is being fired will show a large group of firelight. If the reconnaissance troops look carefully, they can still identify the target. The goal seems to be more obvious.

rumbling...

Three more enemy cannon howitzers were successfully blown up after a deafening series of rocket-covered blasts.

However, during this period, several rounds of artillery shells have landed on Ellesmere Port, causing great damage to the urban area of ​​Ellesmere Port.

Several locations in the southeast and southwest of the outer positions were bombed and collapsed. Two huge gaps were exposed, both about twenty meters wide and less than two meters high. After the collapse, a **** was formed, and countless Orumi Federation soldiers suddenly surged, shouting excitedly and rushing towards these collapsed gaps.

General Yves also quickly got the news and learned that his men had opened two gaps in the peripheral positions, and immediately issued a resolute attack order.

He promised that anyone who successfully dashed into the gap and occupied the enemy's position would be promoted to three levels in a row, and he would be rewarded.

He knows that his subordinates are all brainwashed and educated extreme militants, and they will work hard under the heavy reward. Sure enough, those Orumi Federation troops felt that there was an opportunity, and immediately swarmed up.

Hodgson also acted decisively, mobilizing most of the machine guns and personnel to block the two gaps. At the same time, more troops were mobilized to reinforce the gaps, and mortars also focused on blocking these two gaps.

He himself went to the most dangerous position to command the battle.

After all, some soldiers of the Anmore Army had fought bad battles in the South Bank position, and they were used to such dangerous scenes, so they didn't feel anything. Those militiamen who were temporarily incorporated into the battle sequence began to feel a little unbearable. Facing the overwhelming Olumi Federation army, many of them were pale, as if they felt that disaster was imminent.
