That night, even though Li Xin and the others relaxed their vigilance, no danger occurred.
The troops' advance remained steady, and one stronghold after another was captured by the Heng'an Defense Force.
The defense of Milda's retainers seemed to be even more lax, as if they had abandoned their ground positions.
This news is not good news for the attacking forces.
Their purpose of attacking the Behemoth Steel Works was not only to gain this large stronghold, but also to kill the effective forces of Milda's retainers.
The infantry brigade here now has basically suffered no serious losses, and the number of soldiers killed in battle is not large.
Judging from the intensity of the battle and the final cleanup of the battlefield, the number of enemy soldiers killed or wounded in the battles during these days did not exceed 600 in total.
This loss is too small considering the current casualties recorded in the intelligence, which is just an infantry brigade plus some reinforced battalion-level units.
The territory captured by Heng'an Defense now occupies almost half of the Beshimo Steel Plant. Of course, this area excludes the underground area.
The underground battle has not yet begun.
The low intensity of the battle on the surface means that there are at least four thousand enemies hiding underground in the Behemoth Steel Plant.
This is not good news for the attacking side.
On the tenth day after entering the Beshimo Steel Plant, Li Xin and Feng Dai, driving mechas, were on guard behind the vanguard troops.
Fighting alongside the frontline troops was Jiang Lou's mecha.
The intensity of the battles in recent days has not been intense enough, and their mechas have not even fired much in the past two days.
Li Xin pushed the propulsion lever, controlling the mecha to move slowly in this area.
This place has entered the foundry area of the former Behemoth Steel Plant, although it has experienced several repeated battles.
However, this area is still relatively well-preserved because the buildings and equipment here are all durable.
Although the equipment and buildings are no longer usable, it is still easy for enemies to hide inside.
After entering this area, the troops' advance slowed down a lot, and there were not many roads that tanks and infantry fighting vehicles could pass through.
There are tall and sturdy buildings on both sides, and their defensive capabilities are even better than some permanent fortifications.
Even though they had been bombarded with heavy artillery before, it had little effect on these buildings.
When the troops entered here, the casualty rate was at least 20 percent higher than before.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
A series of bullets swept across the front, and an entire infantry combat team was knocked down directly.
"ah!!"
There was also an infantryman who was not completely dead and was wailing as he looked at his broken limbs.
Now he wasn't even howling in pain, but simply in fear at the sight of his limbs being torn apart.
Li Xin saw this scene through the remote observation equipment and shook his head slightly while sitting in the cockpit.
This infantryman was doomed. His legs were broken, he was bleeding profusely, and there was no cover around him. No one dared to save him.
These are Hengan defense infantrymen who were added later. Their combat effectiveness and combat quality are far inferior to those of the others.
If it were the armored infantry from the first day, at least two, possibly three, of this combat group would have survived.
Rescue was useless. Some people even wanted to shoot to relieve the soldier's pain, but because it was not appropriate, they could only watch the soldier's wailing become lower and lower, and finally disappear.
The soldiers continued to fire at the place where the enemy last appeared. The machine guns of the short-tailed rat infantry fighting vehicles roared and tongues of flames spewed out from the muzzles.
“Boom boom boom!”
"Bang!"
An infantryman carrying a rocket launcher fired a rocket accompanied by a cloud of white smoke.
'Boom!'
The position where the enemy soldiers were hiding exploded directly, and a large ball of fire swept around.
The battlefield fell silent, and the gunfire from both sides disappeared.
A soldier walked to the position of the wounded soldier, but the wounded soldier had already collapsed and died from heavy bleeding.
The infantrymen have long been accustomed to such things. Dying in battle is a very normal thing in this Behemoth Steel Plant.
After the soldiers checked the possible enemy positions around them again, the troops began to advance.
Ahead is a large warehouse area. The roof of the warehouse has long been bombarded by heavy artillery, but even so, this hard reinforced concrete building still remains relatively intact.
The row in front is full of similar large warehouses.
In this area, there are three rows of huge warehouses, each of which covers a considerable area.
This area has always been an important defensive stronghold for the defenders. In the previous two battles at the Behemoth Steel Plant, fierce exchanges of fire occurred between the two sides here.
The warehouse doors, one steel door after another, had been blown to pieces in the previous battle.
Through the door, you can see the dark scene inside.
In the rear, heavy firepower has begun to attack the warehouse.
“Boom!!”
The fire attack lasted for about ten minutes, and there was no response from inside, so it stopped.
A four-man infantry combat team crouched on one knee and stood guard behind the bunker.
An infantryman looked up at the scene ahead, gazing at the pitch-black interior of the warehouse. He swallowed nervously, "I bet there are a lot of people hiding here!"
