Chapter 139： Offense to offense

"What's that?" On the defensive line of the Holy Demon Empire, on the edge of a barracks of about 100 people, a soldier in charge of guarding pressed the long sword at his waist, staring at the swaying forest in the distance, and squinted his own. Remind your companions with eyes.

"Alert! Alert! Enemy attack!" His companion drew out his sword and was ready to fight on the periphery of the camp: "It's Ailan Hill's large force! Ready to fight!"

Hearing his shouts, the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire began to deploy troops, relying on the camp to prepare for defense, and a pair of eyes from behind the visor looked at the trees that seemed to be resurrected in front.

"Suddenly!" A row of tracer bullets shot over and hit the large defensive magic circle on the edge of the camp, causing the huge magic circle to burst out with a pale blue light. All areas where the magic empire is stationed are equipped with such a magic circle to prevent the opponent from attacking, and can also serve as a temporary position to support defense.

It's a pity that before the magic circle swallowed up those flying bullets, a cannonball smashed into the magic defensive wall. The light blue magical defensive barrier, which was originally not very clear, disappeared in the air instantly with the impact of this shell.

Click! An m4 tank, with an indomitable momentum, broke a small tree on the edge of the forest, ran over the bushes in front of it, rolled its tracks, and appeared in front of the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire.

Immediately afterwards, the second m4 tank appeared, and it also ran over the bushes, revealing its tall frontal armor. The center here was painted with white paint to outline the outline of the eagle of the Holy Demon Empire, forming a white hollow male. Eagle pattern.

One after another tanks appeared on the edge of the jungle. Following these tanks were hordes of Ailan Hill soldiers. The soldiers in the front were holding stg-44 assault rifles and facing the holy demon. The soldiers of the Empire poured out the ammunition in their guns.

The soldier holding the mg-42 machine gun quickly found an excellent cover position, where he set up the bipod of the machine gun, and then lifted the cover of the gun body. The secondary shooter was already in place, pulling out the ammunition chain from the ammunition box and pressing it under the cover of the machine gun.

In the next second, the Ailan Hill machine gunner who pulled the bolt of the gun began to fire, and the tracer bullets joined together and flew into the phalanx of the Holy Demon Empire.

"What the **** is that!" A soldier from the Holy Demon Empire watched the tank run over the wood outside their camp, as if breaking a small tree with ease. The steel monster didn't seem to care about what was blocking the way at all, and his rampage was superb.

He saw with his own eyes that the Ailan Hill soldier standing on the tank, manipulating the machine gun on the steel monster, strafing the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire from top to bottom.

And on the head and body of that steel monster, there are machine guns that can eject flames, firing out dense tracer bullets, harvesting the lives of soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire.

What's more frightening is that the tank also has a long barrel, which from time to time hits the crowds of the Holy Demon Empire with a heavy shot. This thing is aimed directly, so it is quite terrifying to aim the head. It can always shoot cannonballs into the densest crowds, and the speed of killing is even more terrifying than the shelling of Ailan Hill.

The thing that broke him the most was that this thing had no intention of fighting melee soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire. It only opened fire from a distance to cover the continuous advancement of its own soldiers. It made people angry and anxious, but they were looking for it. There is no chance to attack it.

Because of the choice of the m4 Sherman tank, Chris and his generals also referred to the attack tactics of the US military in tactics: they felt that it was not a good way to use the tanks on a large scale.

After all, the opponent does not have a large number of anti-tank weapons, nor does it have many tanks to support the line of defense. It is not necessary to concentrate tank troops, and it will not achieve very good combat results.

On the other hand, like the US military, scattered tanks are used to support infantry operations, but they are very suitable for the design purpose of the m4 tank. In supporting infantry operations, the tall and powerful m4 tank is indeed an ideal weapon.

It can carry forward its own firepower in the rear without worrying that the other party will have terrible long-range damage weapons like German tanks against itself. This is simply a perfect bunker that can push forward. The other party has no good way to use such tactics.

Therefore, after some choices, Ailan Hill's tank tactics were initially used to cover infantry operations. This is the best example of how the battlefield environment determines tactical arrangements.

No tactic is absolutely perfect. How to use it depends on the specific environment and analysis. Just like when the Ailan Hill grenadiers were just born, they still used the ancient three-stage shooting tactics. Sometimes the backward tactics may not have no room for use.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The leader of the Saint Demon Empire knew that with the soldiers he led, he couldn't stop the Ailan Hill troops in front of him. He decisively issued the order to retreat, hoping to leave the battlefield before his troops were really bitten.

Unfortunately, Ailan Hill's troops did not give him the opportunity to retreat. At the same time he issued the retreat order, the Il-2 attack aircraft in the sky swooped down and began their killing.

The 20mm-caliber cannon left two blood paths in the crowd. The small defensive magic on the body could not stop the ordinary soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire with the large-caliber cannon. Under the slaughter of the attack aircraft, they quickly became confused.

They were no longer able to form an established organization to resist, and they were breached within a few minutes. Except for about 20 people who fled, the rest were wiped out nearby, and Ailan Hill's counterattack entered a benign mode of quick fight and quick decision from the beginning.

One morning, the 11th Division of the 1st Army recovered two small towns south of Higgs, defeated about 1,000 Saint Demon Empire’s defenders, and advanced 15 kilometers. This speed is higher than the previous Saint Demon Empire’s. Advancing, five times faster.

Similarly, the 1st Division of Ailan Hill, which served as the main attack, quickly took down the southern town of Rozrol, which seriously threatened the flanking defenses of the Holy Demon Empire.

On this day, Ailan Hill’s air force passed like locusts and attacked all the targets they could see. The guard line and the main line of defense of the Holy Demon Empire on the southern line were attacked, and the entire defense system fell into chaos. .

More than 400 fighter jets and attack aircraft took off thousands of sorties, dumping the bombs that could be mounted and the cannon shells they carried on the position of the Holy Demon Empire.

In just one day, the Holy Demon Empire lost more than 500 soldiers and turned its protruding part into a dangerous pocket. By the evening of the same day, the troops under the command of Wagron had attacked 20 kilometers northward, mastered the predetermined goal of Rozrol, and basically completed the task of advancing.

Early the next morning, the battlefield situation changed drastically. The Holy Demon Empire, which had received reinforcements, began a large-scale counterattack, and Ailan Hill also hoped to complete their plan for the next day through attacks.

The two sides continued to invest their troops in a short 3-kilometer battle zone, using various weapons such as dragon knights, giant horse cavalry, magic legions, tanks, attack aircraft, and howitzers to turn the plain into the surface of the moon.

Because of the lack of position cover, the losses of the troops on both sides were very huge. Often 1000 people just came up to support, and most of them had to retreat. The Holy Demon Empire lost another 1,000 magicians in one day, and by the way lost the air supremacy of the entire Higgs area.

Ailan Hill did not take advantage of this. The 1st Army’s attacking forces suffered heavy losses. For the first time since the establishment of the 1st Division, there was no way to conquer the opponent’s line of defense. More than 10,000 people shed blood on the battlefield, but the entire 1st Army did not make any further progress.

The battle went into intense heat from the beginning, and Wagron, who had red eyes, quickly joined the reserve team. Two full armor regiments entered the battlefield, pushing the battle to a climax in the morning of the third day.

In order to cover the flanks of its large forces, the Holy Demon Empire didn't mean to give in at all. They put all their strength into a counterattack, striving to annihilate this mortal force that threatened the southern line of defense.

Because the two parties did not complete their respective tasks on the second day, Ailan Hill stopped and failed to complete the attack plan, and the Holy Demon Empire did not drive the opponent out of its own control area, so on the third day, everyone was thinking. What they are trying to accomplish is a two-day mission in one day.

At the beginning, everyone smashed into all the homes, and the armored forces of the mortals were attacked by dragons and magicians, causing a lot of losses. A tank battalion was completely annihilated during a frontal attack. The wreckage of the tank was paralyzed from one end of the battlefield to the other end of the battlefield, and the burning black smoke obscured the sky.

On the other side, the magic army that came out of the nest also lost their pants, they ran out of magic replenishment liquid, and then they were caught by the Il-2 attack plane just right. The Magic Legion of the Holy Demon Empire that had lost its magical protection was slaughtered like a lamb by the Airenhill Air Force, and the corpses covered the entire hillside.

On the fourth day, Wagron had to suspend the attack and let his troops be stationed in place: He had to admit the fact that the army of those terrifying magicians could indeed contend against his mechanized army.

The Saint Demon Empire troops on the opposite side did not launch an attack on this day. They took advantage of Ailan Hill to rest their troops, gave up their defenses, and began a large-scale retreat.

When they left their camp, all the officers of the Holy Demon Empire knew that they had lost this war... They had to abandon a large number of friendly forces that were still in the east, and they had to abandon the one that was close at hand but is now far away. Higgsnar at the End of the World--
