Fierce battles continued to break out on battlefields everywhere.
The enemy had just been eliminated here, and a large number of enemy infantry either followed the remaining armored forces to evacuate, or crawled on the ground and hid behind the gravel slopes or some small shelters.
The infantrymen hadn't even run far when a sharp scream was heard in the air.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!!!"
Li Xin looked up at the sky. Using radar and psychic power, he was able to quickly capture the target.
This is the enemy's heavy howitzer bombardment. Looking at the size of the shells, there is no need to calculate the enemy's position.
This type of artillery shell may have been fired from seventy or eighty kilometers away.
Generally speaking, the larger the caliber, the longer the range of the howitzer will be. Sometimes extended-range ammunition is used to extend the range.
This time, the self-propelled howitzers brought by the 69th Brigade had a maximum range of 45 kilometers.
The enemy's artillery positions are so far away that even if there are artillery observers on the front line to calculate the trajectory, it will be useless because they cannot hit the enemy at all.
“Boom!!”
As shells hit the position, Li Xin and his men quickly controlled the mecha to retreat.
There is no way. Although the mechas all have void shields, that does not mean they can stand and withstand the enemy's artillery fire.
The Void Shield absorbs damage, but it also consumes spiritual energy.
In such a fierce battle, it is better not to consume spiritual energy if possible. It is always a good idea to save more.
The bombardment lasted for more than ten minutes before the salvos of artillery fire stopped.
But the volleys stopped, but the sporadic shelling showed no sign of stopping.
Every now and then, a heavy howitzer would hit the ground from the air.
If this kind of heavy artillery falls on ordinary dirt ground, the explosion will create a big pit. If it falls on the original reinforced concrete fortifications, it will be okay.
This kind of permanent or semi-permanent fortification has considerable defensive capabilities when facing artillery fire.
The Milda Army's attack on the entire outer defense line of Wick Town can be described as an all-out attack.
Throughout the day, gunshots and firing were heard in almost every position.
There were battles everywhere, some were frontal assaults, and some were positions used as feints.
However, the feint attack could turn into a full-scale attack at any time, so the defenders' 69th Brigade and mecha support forces must always keep reserves.
Prevent the enemy from suddenly gathering superior forces to directly attack a position.
The fierce battle for position lasted for several days.
The attacking side not only has infantry and armored troops, but also mecha troops coming to support.
For the defenders' position, if there is no mecha unit nearby, as long as one or two of the enemy's knight followers rush in, the position may be lost.
The repeated battles for positions between the two sides were extremely fierce.
Fortunately, because the battle between Blueprint and the Knights of Milda broke out in an all-out war, the real battle did not just begin in the Dan'an area.
Wars have now broken out in various places, so although the second-rate forces like the Milda Knights have more troops in this area than the Town of Vick, they are not so many that they can crush the enemy.
Battlefields broke out everywhere, and it became difficult to support the Dan'an area.
What's more, even if it is support, it takes time to mobilize troops.
Li Xin certainly didn't know the overall situation on the battlefield, but the fierce fighting in the past few days had made him feel tired.
He hardly slept during these two days, and from time to time he had to send out a mecha to provide support to a position on the front line.
Sometimes they attack the armored forces of certain enemies, and sometimes it is the enemy knights and squires who rush over and they have to rush up to fight.
Even their temporary camp, the artificial lake, was bombarded by the enemy, forcing the auxiliary soldiers to drive tracked armored vehicles to change camps.
"Requesting support! Requesting support!"
"The enemy's knight squires are coming again!"
The infantry commander's call came again in my ears.
This area is temporarily the defense range of Li Xin and his team. It has several large positions and seven or eight small positions, covering a very large area.
It is impossible for Li Xin and his team's mechas to be stationed in one position all the time. If you are stationed in one position, the enemy will attack other positions, and you can only run back and forth to rescue them.
As for dividing the troops and stationing them there, that won't work either. Once your position is exposed, the enemy may gather more superior forces.
Launch an attack across the entire area to attract the defenders' attention, then directly attack one point with superior mecha forces.
This set of operations may result in casualties.
Therefore, Li Xin and his mecha troops have always withdrawn from the front-line positions and hidden themselves again after providing support.
Try not to let the enemy know the specific number of people and strength of troops in this area.
When Li Xin and his men rushed to the battlefield, the enemy knights and their followers were almost at the position.
These knight attendants, carrying armored shields, used deflection positions and the void shields of their mechas to charge towards the position like a brutal collision.
Behind them were the enemy's armored vehicles, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and even infantry filled with them.
A new round of fierce fighting has begun.
In front of the battlefield, there was also dense smoke. The Milda army also began to use smoke before the troops attacked.
This would greatly limit the defenders' long-range direct fire attacks, even if the smoke could only cover the battlefield for two or three minutes.
But this time is enough for the attacking troops to rush a long distance.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
"Da da da!"
“Boom boom boom!”
The firing points on the position waited for the smoke to gradually dissipate a little before quickly opening fire.
Various firepower continued to attack, including anti-tank electromagnetic guns, rapid-fire guns, electromagnetic machine guns, mortars, etc.
“Stop them!”
On the battlefield, Li Xin roared and took the lead in controlling the mecha to rush out.
"kill!!"
“Charge!”
Behind him, the other dagger servants followed suit and charged forward, not to be outdone.
Compared to fighting enemy mechas in defensive positions, Li Xin prefers counterattacks.
If a fight breaks out on a position, one could be careless and cause heavy losses to the defending forces there.
If a few more battles like this were fought, there might be no one left on the position.
"boom!"
The mecha units of both sides collided with each other, their power weapons constantly collided and blocked each other, and the entire battlefield was filled with the huge roar of mecha fighting.
These mecha troops are almost as flexible as humans, constantly running, charging, attacking and dodging throughout the entire area.
