"Enter the combat post!"

"Check your firearms and prepare to meet the enemy!"

In the Whitney region, on the front line of Hildy's army, the voices of the officers echoed in everyone's ears. These soldiers in green uniforms entered the trenches with their rifles, or stood directly at chest level. Arrayed behind a wall of sandbags.

The artillerymen also hurriedly entered the artillery positions scattered in the positions, lifted the cannon coat covering the artillery, opened the shell box on the side, took out the solid shells lying in the hay, and put them into the cannons. filling.

In front of them, the Rumont army holding the flag of the Rumen Republic high is marching on the beat of rhythmic drums. The artillery of the 7th Brigade and the 1st Division's regiments are also concentrated and unloaded for deployment. Relying on 12-pound infantry guns The long range advantage gives vent to enemy positions.

The Greek soldiers who had just entered the position were faced with the menacing enemy artillery fire. They looked at the many black artillery shells flying at high speed from a distance. on the head.

The direct-fire cannons are not very destructive to the bunkers, especially for the trenches dug by the Greek soldiers. The latter only need to hide in the trenches to perfectly avoid the shells fired directly from the front. They listened to the air. The whistling sound, feeling the ground trembling from the firing of the artillery, the fear in my heart is not strong.

But it was still hard for the soldiers who were deployed behind the parapet of sandbags. The flimsy sandbags could block bullets, but they couldn't block highly penetrating shells. When the artillery of the Lu army was bombarding indiscriminately, the shells often hit the sandbags, smashed the sandbags, and continued to kill the soldiers behind.

The worst is the artillery on the artillery positions. Since the battlefields are all vast plains, their artillery positions are recognized at first sight. The main target of the Lu army artillery is also them. Therefore, the Greek artillery can only do as much as possible. Let yourself curl up on the ground, even the most precious artillery can't be taken care of on weekdays.

Under the strong baptism of the Rumont artillery, all the artillery on the Greek positions were named and destroyed.

An officer hiding in a trench saw with his own eyes that a solid bullet accurately hit an artillery piece not far from him. The artillery was also stunned on the spot by the huge impact.

He also saw that a cannonball landed on the ground a few meters in front of him and smashed a piece of soil, and because of its inertia, it flew forward, and directly cut off the top half of the head of a hapless soldier who just exposed his head. The body, which had lost half of its head, remained standing for a few seconds before falling backwards.

Covered by the firepower of their own 12-pound infantry artillery group, the Rumont infantry and the shorter-range 7-pound howitzer regiment advanced forward. They did not stop until they entered the range of the howitzer. The artillery was busy, packhorses and artillery. The traction of the car was disconnected, and the gun body was rotated again, and the muzzle was facing the enemy's position.

The Rumont infantry lined up on the spot, ready to wait for the first cavalry division, which acted as the vanguard, to launch a charge, and then follow behind the cavalry to attack.

The range of the 7-pounder howitzer is the same as that of most of the Greek artillery. Seeing that the enemy entered the range, the surviving Greek artillerymen were no longer afraid, and adjusted to shoot Zhuyuan under the scolding of the officers, and aimed at the enemy in the distance. The first round of test shots was fired from the artillery positions.

Even if the Greek artillery successfully fired the first round of artillery fire, it was difficult for them to keep calm and aim at the target because of the deterrence of the Rumen artillery. Their shelling also gave the howitzer artillerymen who had unloaded the truck an obvious target to shoot. After the loading was completed, the Rumont artillerymen adjusted their angles and fired towards the place where the artillery had just fired.

Different from the direct-firing cannon, the 7-pounder howitzer fired the explosive shells that were sent out of the muzzle by the power of the gunpowder and flew crookedly in the sky. Before falling to the ground, they were detonated because the leads burned out, and countless fragments of the bombs fell from the sky, knocking them out. The area below is shrouded in it.

In an artillery position in the Greek army's position, several artillerymen ignited the leads and fired the solid bullets in the barrels. They covered their ears and watched the shells flying into the distance. They couldn't wait to see the scene where the shells hit the target. , However, instead of seeing the scene of the cannonball hitting, they were horrified to see a black cannonball flying slowly towards them in midair!

"Howitzer! Dodge!"

The experienced veteran was shocked, pulling his comrades aside and was about to evacuate the artillery position, but when the artillery shell flew over their heads, it exploded in mid-air, shattering the shell fragments and the nails and iron inside The pieces flew around under the blast of the gunpowder, and the slow-running artillerymen were directly swept by the flying shrapnel and fell to the ground screaming.

Shrapnel shrouded this gun position. The shrapnel made a crisp sound when it hit the cannon, and it also left dense white marks on it. The veteran who reacted first had already run away for some distance. Looking at the position just now, the soil was full of shrapnel, and the soldiers who were running slowly were covered with fine iron pieces, and their flesh was blurred.

Watching this scene, the survivors were so shocked that their legs were weak and they dared not go any further, but the officer would not let them evacuate the battlefield. Post, UU reading www. uukanshu.com saw that they didn't dare to move for a long time, and another one kicked them viciously, and they didn't stop until they shuddered and returned to the gun position to reload the artillery.

Similar scenes were also staged in other gun positions, but the most common one was that an entire gun position was shrouded in the range of shrapnel splashes, and all were killed.

In addition to the Greek artillery positions, the Greek infantry hiding behind trenches and sandbags were also targeted by howitzers. They not only had to face the direct bombardment of the enemy's 12-pound infantry guns, but also had to deal with the significantly higher rate of fire in the sky. The slow landing of the grenade shells, the otherwise orderly position became chaotic after the continuous bombardment of the Rumont artillery.

Half an hour after the start of the attack, the originally well-ordered Greek positions fell into chaos under the continuous artillery fire of the Rumont artillery. There were scattered sandbags and torn corpses everywhere. Soldiers scurrying about like flies, they were then driven back to their respective combat posts by officers and overseers.

When the sound of the cannons stopped, the battlefield fell into an eerie silence. In addition to the pain and wailing of the undead, there was only the whistle of the wind blowing across the earth.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the rumble of guns coming from other fronts, which means that the battle is in progress.
