The first defensive position was taken almost without bloodshed.
The only casualties in this battle were probably the officers who were unwilling to surrender.
But the number is very small, and the war has reached this point.
The Milda Infantry Brigade under the steel plant suffered almost two-thirds casualties. If it weren't for the terrain that left these soldiers with nowhere to escape, they might have run away long ago.
As the infantry captured the enemy positions, all prisoners were escorted to the rear.
Now, new problems arise before Lantu and Commander Heng'an.
"Should we continue advancing or wait?" the infantry battalion commander asked urgently.
"If all the enemy knights and their followers break out, then we might be able to take over the entire steel mill!"
His voice was extremely excited. If they could really take over the entire steel plant, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement.
This is true for both the mecha troops and Heng'an Defense.
Promotion and salary increase are not just dreams!
"Keep attacking! Fight until you reach a point where you can no longer attack!" Jiang Lou said in a deep voice.
Who doesn't like military exploits?
Next, the advancement was very smooth, but the good times did not last long. After taking another position in an area, a firefight broke out in the front.
The infantry battalion commander asked Milda's chief of staff, "What's going on?"
The chief of staff sighed and said, "You may have to fight your way back. The officers here are unwilling to surrender."
"Stupid!" the infantry battalion commander cursed.
"Fight slowly. If the enemy doesn't have any knights, we can also go forward to help attack!" Jiang Lou comforted.
"That's good, otherwise I wouldn't feel comfortable taking the credit!"
"You're right." The infantry battalion commander suppressed his anger.
A new attack began soon. Knowing that the enemy might not have the protection of knight squires, the mecha troops attacked fiercely.
Although they did not attack directly, the long-range firepower of the mecha quickly caused heavy casualties to the enemy's Milda soldiers.
On the other side, the fighting in the outer blocking positions was also very fierce. The knights' followers chose to break out for the sake of their own lives, and each of them was in a life-threatening state.
The attack targeted a point on the blocking position, and the fighting was fierce, with heavy casualties.
The captains of the third and fourth squadrons were all furious.
"Supervisor, call for backup!"
"Call for support!!"
On the outskirts of the Milda Knights, there are also troops attacking defensive positions, not only infantry, but also mecha troops.
The two squadrons were in a dilemma.
On the outskirts of the outpost, several blueprints and Heng'an Defense's heavy artillery units had already begun to unleash their firepower.
One after another, 155mm grenades fell from the sky and hit the heads of the enemy's outer supporting troops. The flames and fragments of the explosion directly swept across the outer wasteland.
Lu Quan's expression turned grim. He quickly responded, "Hold on! I'll get the First Squadron to support you right away!"
Then, after thinking it over, he quickly issued orders to Jiang Lou of the second squadron and Shao Hong of the fifth squadron.
"How's the situation over there?"
"Boss, things are going well for us for now, and the enemy's resistance is not strong." Jiang Lou responded.
Hearing this, Lu Quan said directly: "New order!"
"Quickly capture the enemy's positions inside the steel mill!"
"After the second squadron secures the position, they will attack directly from the underground passage, pursue the enemy's breakout force, and strike the enemy knights' squires from behind!"
"Fifth Squadron, wipe out the remaining enemies. Don't stop there, and go support us together!"
"This time, I will wipe out the enemy's breakout and supporting troops in one fell swoop!"
Hearing Lu Quan's order, Jiang Lou and Shao Hong almost didn't hesitate at all and shouted, "Yes! Supervisor!"
After receiving the new combat orders, Jiang Lou issued them one after another without stopping.
"Prepare for the assault! We must quickly eliminate the enemy in front of us!"
"You infantrymen, follow us to clear out the remaining enemies and occupy the advantageous terrain as soon as possible!" He said to the infantry battalion commander beside him.
"no problem!"
Li Xin asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
"The situation is not good. The outer blocking positions are fighting fiercely. We need to break through the underground area as soon as possible, and then attack from behind to support the outer blocking positions!" Jiang Lou responded as he walked.
Suddenly, he stopped and said to Li Xin, "Be careful this time. Your close combat ability is not strong enough. Although you can overclock, you can't use your trump card casually!"
Li Xin felt warm in his heart and nodded, "Yes, Master!"
A fierce battle broke out instantly.
Even after receiving the authorized order from the superior, it is still unclear whether there are any knights' followers ambushing behind the enemy's defense line.
Even if it really exists, we have to fight it anyway.
Li Xin returned to the group and looked at the three fully armed recruits.
"In this battle, follow my steps closely!"
"Yes! Boss!"
"Yes! Team leader!"
"Set off!"
The next moment, the four mechas started moving. This time, Wei Gan took the lead. It was the same reason why he could not rush to the front when fighting with Jiang Lou.
Li Xin also needs to train other recruits while reducing the possibility of his own casualties.
Just leave it to others,
If there really are knights following behind, Li Xin can just rush up to fight them.
Li Xin and his group were not the first to attack. There were already three or four groups ahead that had already started the assault.
They were already assisting the infantry in their attack, and upon receiving the order, they immediately launched their assault without hesitation.
When Li Xin's group entered the position, the group in front had already been killing people indiscriminately in the enemy's position.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Wei Gan, Gan Hongcai, and Ling Yangping began to level their machine guns, and intensive firepower began to shoot at the enemy's bunkers.
This defensive position was taken with basically no effort.
The infantrymen once again enjoyed the joy brought by the mecha attack. They had taken the position without much effort.
Next, the next defensive position standing in their way was A2.
"Li Xin, take your team and follow me!"
Jiang Lou's calm voice sounded in the command channel.
"yes!"
"Attention all units! According to the intelligence provided by the prisoners, area A2 is the location of the enemy's headquarters!"
"The specific coordinates of the command center have been sent to your chips!"
"The enemy's last heavy firepower is concentrated here, so we need to be cautious when attacking!"
"But capturing the enemy's headquarters is also a great achievement!"
“I hope everyone will keep up the good work!”
"rush!"
