Chapter 996: 16. Fortress vs. Fortress (21)

It is not difficult to find out from the history of war, but at least half of all the battles with words like "corpse mountain blood sea", "dead pillow", "flesh mill" are all offensive and defensive wars around fortifications. In addition to various fortresses and siege battles, trench advances and urban street battles have also been added as technology advances. Trenches covered with blood and mud; in order to compete for a building and a station, the corpses of the warring parties are piled into mounds, and the ground is dyed red-this has almost become a visual impression of a brutal war for a generation. It was not until a superpower first struggled in the jungles of Southeast Asia for 16 years, and in the new century it plunged into the imperial cemetery and desert pits in the Middle East. The endless security war gradually became the representative interpretation of the new generation of "blood cruel".
For Charlemagne, he is experiencing two quagmire at the same time. One is the "Peninsula Ulcers"-the Castilian battlefield. The Castilians and the coalition forces burning the souls of the villagers have turned the entire battlefield into a mud pit, leaving only one head of the Charlemagne floating in it. It was breathless and breathless. The other is the Rhine Front. In this meat grinder that is 100 times more brutal than the Castile battlefield, the Kingdom of Charlemagne is almost drowned by his own blood.
Speaking of which, I have to admire the charisma of Charlemagne. Even the Japanese who shouted "100 million jade pieces" every day, after being planted with two shiitake mushrooms by the father's beloved lighthouse Baba, quickly knelt. Charlemagne first ate "Niberongen", and the Northern Expeditionary Army went directly to Valhalla for the long vacation. Now a city has been wiped out by "Hammer of Thor". In this adversity where no hope can be seen, they not only did not consider how to stop the war as soon as possible, to avoid further expansion of the damage, so that the people will no longer suffer unnecessary pain, but are ready to start a decisive battle with a hundred-fold spirit. In response, Charlemagne’s enemies could only shrug, saying that the rooster’s head structure had always been different from ordinary people.
In any case, since the Charlemagne decided to use the blood of the patriot to water the flower of death, the defense army could only accompany it to the end. The Charlemagne are not short of heads, and there is no shortage of shells.
In a long whistle, several trains drove out of the hidden tunnel bunker. The camouflage plates painted with green car shells, beautiful windows and scenic passengers were quickly dismantled, and the sergeant's roar and sharp whistle In the sound, the artillery quickly took its place. A railway sergeant pressed the button of the operation panel, and the grim train gun quickly drove into the special "Fogler" circular track turntable. This special turntable for train guns is composed of a circular track and a rotating platform spanning the track. The platform is provided with a track that can be docked with the railway track. After the train gun is opened on the platform along the track, it can rotate along the circular track To get a 360-degree omnidirectional shot.
After locking the road wheel and fixing the gun platform completely, the gunners on the side installed fuzes on the neatly arranged shells. I saw that they were skilled, and with the help of a special wrench, they quickly put a hundred 280㎜ shells in combat.
On the Siegfried line, this tense scene with a clear sense of rhythm can be seen everywhere. It’s not just the gunners, every position is in an orderly way. From the air to the ground, from the first-line machine gun position to the headquarters, the entire defense line was like a awakened behemoth, licking his lips, and waiting for the prey with a grin.
The Charlemagne across the trench are doing the same thing, checking equipment, counting the number of people, and setting tasks. If there is any difference between the two sides, it is nothing more than equipment, clothing, etc., but now in the trench on the side of Charlemagne, a sense of sadness that is very different from tension is quickly spreading.
Sad, desolate, and prone to water and cold, the kind of tragic and desolate that a strong man is gone forever is not anything else.
Charlieman soldiers may be a bit stiff, but they are definitely not stupid. As supplies began to recover, from the moment all kinds of resources squeezed in the rear continued to reach the front, many big-headed soldiers, especially veterans, foresaw a battle soon to come. When St. Mielle was destroyed, some officers who could not control his mouth leaked a word. Various rumors spread throughout the army of King Charlemagne along with despair and a sense of mission.
Most of the soldiers of the Wang Family Army were farmers and small citizens before joining the army. Their reasons for joining the army were nothing more than superiority, patriotic enthusiasm, and a piece of conscription notice. After the muddy trench battle of blood and rain, all the illusions and longings have been shattered by the guns of the defense. The only thing that supports them is to protect their families from being devastated by ghosts and animals. In order not to let the group of ghostly beasts on the opposite side rush into their homes, so as not to let the family suffer the most terrible nightmare. These soldiers did not choose to escape or surrender, but silently obeyed the orders, endured hunger and casualties, and fought with their weapons to the last moment of life. In this sense, this group of sloppy soldiers at the bottom of the army pyramid, many people who can't even write their names, sing more high-profile than some of them, shrinking to the rear without suffering from wartime rations, belly Instead, the officers who began to bless are more qualified to be called the "mainstays of the kingdom." Even so, there are still a lot of soldiers who make small mistakes or simply throw equipment and military uniforms as deserters. In addition to the real cowards and cowards, there are many battle-hardened veterans. The reason for their escape is to hurry home and take his wife and daughter. Hidden with valuable things, in the past this group of soldiers and scum was in the crowns of Castile, Ostoria, and St. Esteban, they all did a lot of sin, and now they save their own people, of course, they also think that ghosts and animals Will go to Charlemagne to do the same thing. Most of these deserters were eventually captured. Some were still by the village chief and sent back, then shot or hanged in front of everyone.
However, the effect of fear is only temporary. If the situation cannot be fundamentally reversed, large-scale mutiny and organizational collapse will occur sooner or later.
"'The rise and fall of Charlemagne is in this battle'-the Army's propaganda is finally not exaggerated."
The spider twisted its poisonous tongue, shrugged under the unfriendly eyes of everyone, and continued to play as a good student paying attention.
Roland coughed and pointed to the map and said:
"Very well, we confirm again, this time the form of combat is to suppress airborne warfare against the ground, and the target is the Iselin turret and its affiliated positions. It is best to be fully occupied. If there is difficulty, immediately turn to make it lose its function or function. It’s damaged and not working properly."
In the indifferent tone without tension but not slack, the absolute trust in the companions overflowed.
"I believe everyone knows that if we fail, it's not just Charlemagne, the whole world only bows its head under the muzzle of Yalfheim."
This is by no means an exaggeration. The concept of "nuclear blackmail" has not been popularized in this world, but strategic-level attack techniques comparable to nuclear weapons have always existed. It was only due to various constraints before that people could not "produce nuclear weapons like the production of sausages" as Comrade Cornhead said. The so-called "peer-to-peer destruction" is still a distant thing beyond everyone's imagination. Now that Alfheim can mass-produce artillery shells equipped with strategic-level assaults, no one can calm down the terrible scene of "the rain of destruction falling from the sky" in the only commander-in-chief that ordered nuclear strikes twice in the 20th century. Down.
"The schedule is very compact. Within 30 minutes after the airborne start, we must complete the suppression or destruction of the turret. During this period, there will be no reinforcements, we can only rely on our own efforts."
The Army has generously stated that it is ready to provide support at any time, but after seeing their secret espionage prevention measures in person, Roland dare not give up the lives of himself and his companions to this group of obviously unreliable teammates.
"Spider, you are responsible for leading a unit to occupy the power supply room. I am responsible for suppressing the turret as planned."
"Understood. When will the radio silence be lifted?"
"Once the occupation fails, it must be notified as soon as possible. In addition, it can basically be understood that the radio silence will continue until the fortress is occupied or destroyed."
"If the enemy's reinforcements are faster than planned, how to deal with them?"
"Prioritize the penetration into the power supply room as much as possible~EbookFREE.me~ If the penetration fails, the destruction of lines and underground passages will be given top priority."
"Understood, I have no problem."
"Favona, you are the reserve commander. When I lose the signal, I am in charge of directing the retreat immediately."
"To understanding."
Favna did not inquire further. The people present were very clear that if even Roland failed in the raid, then a certain degree of elite combat power must have been deployed in the fort. For Alfheim, who never lacks monsters, they do not need to invest too much, as long as the guards are present. So far, Roland and they have not figured out the specific deployment of the Isselan battery, and no one can guarantee what is waiting for them in the battery.
This hasty preparation and inadequate intelligence support is a nightmare for any soldier. If possible, Roland does not want to fight in this state.
However, like this country, they have no retreat.
The current morale of the army, even if it is only a small step back, is in danger of causing the entire front to collapse.
Like the sneer circulated in the Defense Force, either the victory will be won by all, or they will rise to Valhalla together with a smile.
Generally speaking, most will become the latter situation.
But even if you catch a duck and put it on the ground, you don’t want to usher in a future that does not even have basic dignity and hope.
"After five hours, the main attack will begin. At that time, all the troops will fully attack the enemy's defense line. The enemy will have to use the Iselon fort to open the situation, let us let go and do a good job."
A decent military salute was performed without too many expressions and bold words. The young people present showed their determination with impeccable salute. 8) More exciting novels, welcome to visit everyone's college
