Chapter 50 War of Attrition
The third wave of offensive began, another round of artillery fire was covered, and then the MS teams advanced.
This time, Li Boyong's MS combat company was transferred to the left. During the first wave of offensives, Zaft was ambushed a captain plane there, and the left wing was almost driven by someone.
Logically speaking, there should be no ambush this time, but Li Boyong was cautiously sent two linear artillery tanks and infantry to investigate first, and the MS team followed.
As a result, the troops that were in the first investigation did not find anything. Li Boyong asked them to stop outside the fire circle of Zaft's defense line and waited for the MS team to come on before following.
When Li Boyong advanced outside the enemy's firepower circle and launched another charge, the middle lane had been fighting for a long time.
However, even so, the Zaft army did not ignore the movements on Li Boyong's side. As soon as the third MS combat company entered the firepower range, it was bombarded by Zaute.
The four powerful attacking daggers gradually dispersed, charging while pushing the shield, and rushing to the two small hills below the left side of the cliff on the left before stopping.
The hills are quite high, and the direct aiming firepower on the cliffs cannot reach them. Only the curved cannons of Zaut and Pitley can hit them, but that is only theoretical.
The subsequent vehicles can only find the right terrain nearby as a cover. If you really can't find it, you can hide behind the trees, so you can feel at ease.
After a little trimming, Li Boyong confirmed that the team was in good condition, he found a gap for the cliff above to replace the bullets. Four powerful swords appeared at the same time and suppressed the fire on the cliff.
Four beam guns fired together, suppressing a powerful attacking Sigu and a Jean on the cliff to the left.
The joint MS team in the middle lane saw the opportunity and wanted to rush into the passage between the two cliffs.
"You're so anxious... you're so hard?"
Before Li Boyong could complain about this, there was a sound of shelling sound in the passage over there. After a while, only three of the four attacking daggers who entered were left, retreating, one of them was still injured.
"Damn it, we actually ambushed a Zhaute in that place. As long as that Zhaute is still there, we can't rush up."
The complaints from the MS combat company in the middle lane came from the communication.
Li Boyong rolled his eyes. If it was so easy to rush, he would have the chance to rush during the first wave of offensives, but he knew it was not that simple and he didn't just die.
"The whole machine is hidden."
After Li Boyong suppressed the opponent for a while, he issued a hidden order, and four attacked the daggers and retreated down the hill together.
Not long after he retreated, he was indeed bombarded by Zaut, but fortunately he did not hurt the MS in the team.
"Captain, do we want to make a move?" Bob in the team asked tentatively.
"To get on the yarn, today is just a tentative attack, don't worry."
Li Boyong cursed directly. The terrain advantage on the opposite side was so obvious. Will you rush forward and send it?
Moreover, the Pitley-class main gun has not yet sounded, and as long as it sounds, we still have to retreat here.
The subsequent battle situation was indeed as Li Boyong speculated. When the subsequent large troops followed up, they were bombarded by Pitley-class. The fifth MS Mixed Brigade retreated one after another, and the third wave of offensive ended in vain.
The joint forces were unable to launch a fourth wave of offensive, and the Zaft army had no intention of fighting off the dominant terrain.
At this point, the battle on No. 16 came to an end.
Li Boyong was unable to complete today's system tasks, of course he didn't feel any regrets. In this case, there was no need to fight for the task, and the success rate was too low.
That night, the MS troops in the rear were filled with noise, and the preparation squad was sweating prone to repair the damaged attacking dagger.
All day today, the Fifth MS Mixed Brigade lost a lot of attacking daggers. Fortunately, most of them were injured. They replaced them with parts and repaired them. They could still be used the next day. If the injury is serious, they can be sent to the rear for repair. In the true sense, there are five attack daggers that were hit.
Speaking of which, today's battle was a bit cowardly. Their own people suffered heavy losses. The only result was that the Gene head that Li Boyong shot and exploded, and then there was nothing else.
However, from today's battle, the commander's conservative consumption attack strategy should be correct.
After all, after the Alaska incident, the Zaft army's ground strength was at its weakest time. Although the Battle of Panama was won, it also exhausted the last trace of his courage.
Now the Zaft army is in absolute passive on the ground, and this is even more so in this Victorian battlefield.
The joint army surrounded three sides, and the Zaft army could only rely on the terrain to defend. The Gibraltar base was too busy to take care of itself and had no spare time to support it.
As long as it continues to waste, Zaft will definitely lose.
Li Boyong was thinking about the battle situation while eating supper, and the soldiers around him suddenly became turbulent.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Boyong grabbed a soldier and asked.
"Lieutenant!"
The soldier who was pulled saluted and then whispered: "It is said that something happened to Ob. Although we won, we failed to get the mass accelerator."
I see……
Li Boyong let go of the soldier. This was a plot he knew, but he didn't expect it to spread on the Victorian battlefield.
Then he was a little worried about whether the news would affect the commander's strategy, causing the offensive to be accelerated and causing more casualties.
However, no matter how much he is worried about this kind of thing, he can only arrange the staff on duty to get out and go to bed.
There was nothing wrong all night, and the Zaft army did not launch a night attack.
The next day, the fifth MS Mixed Brigade launched another attack.
The problem that Li Boyong was worried about did not happen. The Fifth MS Mixed Brigade still patiently waited until the artillery fire and missiles used up the opposite position and began to advance slowly.
It seems that the commanders of the Eurasian Federation and the Republic of East Asia have withstood the pressure.
After half an hour of fighting, when the Pitley-class main gun fired, everyone retreated like a tide. Even if the Zaft army wanted to pursue it, they would have no chance.
Then I had lunch and had another wave of offensive in the afternoon.
I still failed to achieve results, but I could clearly feel that the firepower on the opposite side had become much weaker. I didn't expect that the Zaft army's supply would have problems so quickly, which was several days earlier than Li Boyong had expected.
Li Boyong had this suspicion, and there were also commanders of the Fifth MS Mixed Brigade, so he cautiously did not launch a general attack, and even did not even have a third wave of offensives, which ended the second day's battle.
But poor Li Boyong was deducted a little plot point because he failed to complete the system tasks.
Li Boyong was crying but not crying. It was not that our army was not working hard, but that the terrain was not strong.
Then that night, the position of the Fifth Mixed Brigade was attacked by Zaft's army at night.
