288 Backfires

Gukohein was very determined, but he didn't expect that he would encounter so many problems. Compared with the battles that crossed the glacier defense line eight years ago, his opponents were obviously much smarter this time. On all the river beaches that were suitable for landing, the dense anti-landing wooden stakes and dense barbed wire fences turned the landing battle into a nightmare. His scheduled attack time was midnight, but it was delayed until dawn by the hateful anti-landing facilities. His soldiers, because they had to cut the barbed wire in the ice water, had already lost their combat power before the landing battle was launched. As for those who he was careful to avoid, the most

The secret whistle and warning device that could not be avoided eventually turned his surprise attack into a strong attack. Fortunately, the elite imperial army had a high fighting will and military literacy, and the enemy's defensive will on the riverside defense line was not firm. The Fifth Division just had a little contact with them and immediately evacuated after discovering the troops on their flanks. Although the Sixth Division had a strong will to resist, it rationally chose to retreat with the small batch of reinforcements who came to support after being surrounded. Gukohein was busy building a pontoon bridge that allowed tanks to pass through, and did not pursue. He hoped that the deployment of his own armored troops could be completed before the enemy's giant beast battle group arrived.

Hundreds of tanks had to rely on two floating bridges to pass through the glacier, which would take at least half a day. In order not to interfere with this river crossing operation, Gukohein decided to continue to attack. He sent the 9th Army, which had completed crossing the river, to press the front line to the front of the enemy's permanent defense line.

The Yonggu defense line is called Yonggu, but it is a new thing. After Charles Ronin announced that Ronninger's independence, in order to protect the safety of Onborg Province and Changfeng Mountain, he established this line of defense. The entire line of defense initially planned to use iron shield chest walls to defend, but later due to the tension in the war and insufficient funds, it was forced to use sandbags instead. However, even the sandbags did not complete the expected workload. By the time Elena's army accepted it, this line of defense, which was known as eternal, actually only completed 40% of the total project volume. After that, for local defense, the large group of Elena-style Elena-style, burst out with an unexpected labor force. When Gukohein launched an attack, this set of defense line had truly possessed the ability of the initial design.

Defending the massive invasion of the Arund Empire.

"This battle is not easy to fight!"

Gukohein was actually prepared, but he did not expect that when the eternal defense line was really displayed in front of it, it looked so strong. The long trenches, barbed wire and long wooden stakes made the entire position a swamp that could not pass through. After those positions and defense measures, it was the enemy's machine gun position. Although Gukohein could not see those positions clearly due to distance. However, based on his understanding of the enemy's weapons and morale, he knew that this would be a hard battle.

"We must fight even if it is not easy to fight. The beachhead has not yet been consolidated. We must buy time to lay the foundation for the entire plan. Our 9th Army will never retreat in the face of such difficulties."

Ruth Hechs, the commander of the 9th Army, had a positive attitude. In his opinion, although the enemy was strong in formation, the focus of his attack was not here. If it were just a feint attack, the 9th Army would be fully qualified for this task. Even he felt that letting the absolute main force of the empire fight a feint attack was an insult to him. If Gukohein was not in front of him, he would not have devoted his troops to such battles.

"Very good, I know I'm right to come to you!"

Gukohein smiled with relief. He knew Ruth Hechs's idea, but he didn't care. The battle would not really start in such a simple and clumsy way, and he would eventually prove that his methods and strategies were able to fight or even defeat those mud-legged serfs.

"Bang--"

"Bang--"

With the crisp sound of winning streak, Gukohein felt his chest stagnant and his whole body was knocked down by the huge bullet impact. The soldiers surrounded them quickly took out the prepared long shield and blocked the surrounding vision. Gukohein lay on the ground and coughed for a while, and calmed down from the shock of being attacked. He turned his head and looked at Ruth Hechsi beside him, wanting to ask him how he was, but he only saw a blown head.

"damn it!"

Gukohein cursed, knowing that he had lost an excellent general. The enemy's sniper troops played a huge role in Ankenri's civil war and the war against Negru. He knew and prepared for the power of this force. He put on a thick armor plate in his coat. Ruth, who was beside him, also equipped the armor plate. However, Ruth Hechs's life seemed to be worse than that of himself. The sniper who attacked him chose his head instead of his body as his target.

"I'll inform you that the commander of the 9th Army was killed by the enemy's sniper rifle. If you want to take revenge, start an attack!"

Gukohein got up from the ground, dusted the soil, walked to Ruth Hechs's body, carefully looked at the commander who had just expressed his opinion beside him, and sighed softly. It seemed that it was unrealistic to hope that the enemy's sniper troops were not nearby.

Ruth Hechth's death really aroused the anger of the 9th Army. The feint attack turned into a real attack. The elite of the imperial army exploded with their amazing combat power. Even in the face of the enemy's almost unbreakable defense line and dense defensive firepower, they also launched several waves of extremely deterrent attacks, and even approached the enemy's machine gun position for a while. However, the sacrifice of this attack method was still too fierce. When nearly 7,000 people were killed and injured and had not achieved any results, Gukohein ordered the cessation of the attack.

At this time, they had already prepared for the armored group in the beachhead position and bought half a day.

He handed over the 9th Army to Chief of Staff Jet Yupe, and told him to continue to maintain the offensive, but not to have too many casualties and injuries. Gukohein left the front line. He wanted to return to the river beach position, organize the team, and then use armored troops to tear open the enemy's defense line at the agreed time.

In November, Ankenrien's land had become very hard due to the freezing, and large areas of land that were not suitable for armored vehicles became smooth. The preparation was completed on the tidal flat position, and hunters and slaughters who had fenced armor began to roar towards the enemy's permanent defense line. Gukohein rode his own war horse and followed his armored troops, and his heart was full of passion.

Come on, let me prove myself, let me show the world that Ankenrien's army is not invincible!

——————————

"Chief of staff, our front-line scouts discovered the enemy's armored forces, about a hundred hunters and slaughters, who were heading towards the permanent defense line."

At the front line command behind the Yonggu Line, information from various channels was gathering like water. Gleason Warren, chief of staff of the Fourth Corps of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, looked at the sand table in front of him with a serious expression.

"Armored Force?" He raised his head and looked at another line of defense, 'Where is our giant beast regiment, why didn't we come?"

"I don't know yet, we have arranged people to connect. In theory, they should have arrived. The camp of the Behemoth Team is not far from us and should not have taken so much time."

The reply from the combat staff member Neilro Totem did not appease Gleason's emotions. He had a gut feeling that the late Behemoth Group must have encountered some problems, and it was very likely because of Gukohein. However, he had to face a more difficult problem now than the worry of the Behemoth Group that was missing.

"We may have to use infantry to fight the enemy's armored forces."

Gleason's judgment calmed the entire staff. As the first user of the armored forces, everyone present knew the irresistible advantages of armored charge against infantry units. They have studied countless tactics of using armored charge to break through the enemy's defense line and smash the enemy's resistance, but rarely studied how to deal with it when the enemy mastered the armored advantage.

"Okay, don't worry too much. Although we don't have armored troops and the defense line lacks facilities to fight against armored troops, our giant beast army will not disappear all the time. What we have to do is to stick to it and wait for the giant beast army to arrive. In addition, if there are too many casualties, I will make the decision and I can give up the permanent defense line, retreat, give up the field, and wait for the armored troops to help."

"I understand, let's convey it now."

The communications soldier replied loudly and turned away. Gleason looked at the map in front of him and his brows frowned even more. The giant beasts lost contact and the legion commander Domnar Byrne did not appear, which made him a little worried. This battle seemed to be much more prepared than he expected.

"Where the fuck did these chariots come from?!"

Behind the Yongshu Line, commander Brudley Oden was cursing in the command car of the Third Behemoth Group. As a worker who considered himself an intellectual, his ability to be promoted to the position of commander of the Armored War Clan in Elena's previous wars has proved his ability. However, facing the enemy that suddenly emerged during their marching, nearly two hundred armored war vehicles hidden beside the main roads were individuals. No matter how good the temper was, he would curse.

A small number of the core members of the Third Behemoth War Chapter came from the earliest Behemoth War Chapter, and most of the car crews had little combat experience. Faced with the sudden attack of the enemy, the Behemoth War Chapter, which was in a marching formation rather than a combat state, fell into panic. In the early stage of the opponent rushing out of the flank, nearly ten chariots were destroyed and became turrets that could only shoot on the spot.

However, thanks to the excellent design and strong protection of the giant beast tank, the enemy's attack failed to completely destroy its own tanks. Only one tank was given the focus of more than six enemy slaughterers. After repeated destruction, it was penetrated by a spear. The crew abandoned the car and escaped and killed. Other tanks were still in combat. At the same time, the crew who reacted also showed their training results for many years. The crew who entered the state quickly began to fight with the enemy. The enemy's disadvantages in protection and movement ability began to be amplified, and enemy tanks were constantly destroyed. Although the number of enemy tanks was almost four times that of their own tanks, being unable to be destroyed was still the biggest feature of the giant beast.

"Attack, attack, seventeen degrees in the left front, armor-piercing bullet!"

Brudley Oden's voice was hoarse, but he was still hoarse. They had destroyed seven enemy chariots with significant results. However, they themselves suffered a lot of attacks, and the fence armor on the outside was almost completely destroyed, and the track on one side was also interrupted, becoming a turret in place. However, relying on a moving track, he was still fighting.

As the two sides advanced, the number of enemy chariots began to be quickly compressed, many destroyed chariots were abandoned, and the enemy's crew was killed by machine gunners of the Behemoth Group. Brudley Oden knew that if they continued at this pace, they should be able to win the ambush.

However, things were deviated from his expectations. After losing more than seventy tanks, the enemy's armored troops began to attack the support troops following the Behemoth Group. The support troops, who had long seen that the situation was not good, had already begun to retreat and left space to both sides of the war. The enemy's chariots were slow to move. After chasing for a period of time, they gave up the pursuit and drove towards Anbao. Brudley guessed that they might attack Anbao, but they didn't have time to worry about so much. At this time, he discovered that except for three of his 50 Behemoth tanks, more than thirty tracks, were destroyed by the enemy.

"They want to abolish our mobility?"

As he muttered himself, Brudley realized the problem. If the enemy attacked almost suicide like this time, with a battle loss ratio of more than 3:60, the purpose was not to destroy one's own side, but to destroy one's own ability to operate? What if the enemy's purpose was to prevent himself from going to support the Yonggu Line? If the enemy could escape its own monitoring and transport so many armored vehicles to the province of Onborg, what was the situation facing the Yonggu Line?

"Let the logistics crew come over to repair as soon as possible! Send sentry to guard the situation. Once the enemy turns back, we will immediately enter the combat state!"
