Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

"Those **** debris! Vampires! Drinking blood beasts! Maggots in the sewers! Wild seeds under the legs of prostitutes!!!"

Sergeant Antonov waved his fists and spit out all the curses and swear words he knew. The medical doctor on the side shook his head and pulled the white sheet, completely covering the half of Lieutenant Yakov's face. On the right hand side of the second lieutenant, a dozen dozen bodies covered with white sheets were cut, and the "dog tags" of each body had been broken, half hanging on the neck of the dead body and half clasped in the fist of the sergeant. The soldiers around dragged their heads, and the military cap was clutched in their hands. Several soldiers prayed on their knees and whispered, hoping for the souls of their comrades to return safely.

This infantry platoon had just suffered a **** blow. When they carried a raft and a wooden dinghy and attempted to forcibly cross the river, they were shot by the Lapland army on the other side of the river, accompanied by a tearing burlap sound. The first echelon in the forefront was beaten into a sieve, and the second echelon that followed immediately came to a halt and suddenly became an excellent target for enemy artillery. The sound of a woman crying across the head, the white phosphorus incendiary bomb fired by the 81㎜ mortar burst on the head of the second echelon. Because they were covered by rafts and boats, they were prevented from being burnt to death on the spot, but after throwing the rafts and boats covered with white phosphorus, they were immediately fired by machine guns, and two squads of soldiers and leaders charged The second lieutenant Yakov sacrificed on the spot, and even had no time for reaction. A tentative attack was beaten into a unilateral slaughter. Finally, Sergeant Antonov, who was shot in the arm, dragged the lieutenant back, but he still failed to save the lieutenant's life.

The Tepalai River, which flows through Koukuniemi Point, is about two hundred meters wide. The water is turbulent and lacks suitable beach heads. The Lapland Army does not need to block the entire river at all. They only need to prepare firepower points around a few places where they can cross the river. Beforehand, they calculate the shooting elements, and then they can wait for the prey to put their heads into this death trap.

——Like the previous battle.

Based on his many years of experience, the sergeant clearly realized that the only way to break through this kind of sky cut by strong artillery fire support and trench fortifications is to invest more troops and fire support. Use artillery to suppress the fire points of the enemy's artillery and machine guns, and then divide the way into a sufficient number of troops, and at the same time impact from the wide front. And then disperse the enemy's firepower, so that they lose sight of each other.

The idea of ​​the new platoon commander Lieutenant Lavsov and the company was the same. They urged the soldiers to dig fortifications. It is difficult for the national army to obtain timber on the spot, while also ensuring the shooting range and vision), while reporting the situation on the spot and the combat plan. They believe that as long as they are not stupid, they should understand that in the face of this defense system, it is impossible to carry out a strategy without the support of powerful artillery. As long as the artillery came from behind, they had enough confidence to break through the River Tepalai and build a stable bridgehead.

The reply came quickly, and to the surprise of all the officers, this was not a reply from the division, but a direct command of the 7th Army Command-with the support of the artillery fire of the floating battleship, the river crossing was immediately launched.

Experienced officers and non-commissioned officers immediately understood. The artillery could not be reached for a while, the division headquarters might apply to the headquarters of the group army to apply for the transfer of floating transport ships for emergency transportation. As a result, the group army headquarters that received the application did not know which rib was wrong, and actually went directly across the division to command the front company. Let's take a look at the command, which machine gun should be set up where, and which infantry platoon should take which route. There is no room for beak and rebuttal at all.

Faced with this miraculous order book, a group of military officers and non-commissioned officers did not know for a time that they should thank Shangfeng for their meticulous care? Or scolded the commander of the army group, General Yakovlev, for blind command. They looked at each other for a while, and finally everyone thought that this was also the command of the group army headquarters. These grassroots officers had no power to resist. Besides, although there is no heavy artillery, there is fire support from the air anyway. As long as the fire suppression effect is good enough, it is always possible to break through the Tepalai River and build a bridgehead. So everyone began to gather troops and began the first large-scale forcible assault.

Everyone has forgotten two simple facts.

First of all, will the Laplanders forget the threats from the air and are unprepared for air-ground coordinated assault?

Secondly, all rancid ideas have one thing in common, that is, before they are found to be rancid ideas, they all look like good ideas.

What the Seventh Army Command came up with was exactly a bad idea, or the worst of all choices. There are obviously a lot of ways to reduce losses and easily break through the defense line. For example, use a floating transport ship to carry a commando to land behind the defense line and carry out front and rear attacks on the enemy defense line. For example, make a forcible assault, lure the other party to fire, and use the machine gun. The positions and artillery positions are exposed and marked, and corrected by observations on the ground and in the air, and the firepower points are removed one by one by the floating battleship from outside the safe range. Anyway, as long as you think carefully, analyze the enemy and your situation, do a good job in coordination, and issue appropriate instructions. Even a carefully prepared defense system has many opportunities. But the general Yakovlev did not know whether it was too much psychological pressure, or simply wanted to ensure that each platoon was under his command, perfectly implemented his planned plan, or was too underestimated. The right enemy overestimated himself. In short, at the first level, your Excellency thinks that "our advantage is great, and the frontline will immediately give me A!", and then put this idea into practice.

So, like all similar cases, this attack turned into a complete disaster, a unilateral slaughter.

The radio of the Principality Army is still in its infancy, and the magician sergeant is a scarce resource. It is assigned to the regiment and battalion level at most (considering the huge base of the Principality Army, this is already an amazing achievement), floating warships and navy Battleships are only eligible for deployment at the destroyer level. The two patrol gunships that came to the reinforcements could not enjoy the treatment of configuring magicians, and the communication between the ground and the ground could only rely on a light reflector (in fact, it was a mirror, which used light signals to communicate with the ground in Morse code). In actual combat, affected by smoke and fire, the signal of the light reflector is difficult to see clearly. In addition to the poor performance of the optical sighting equipment manufactured by the Principality, the two patrol gunships had to lower the altitude to enter the battlefield. As a result, in the cheers of the soldiers of the Duchy, two gunboats were shattered on the spot.

At least 8 88㎜ anti-aircraft guns were fired, and six shots were made in the first round of volley. One of them was directly hit in the ammunition depot, accompanied by the flash and roar of the detonation of the ammunition depot. The crew exploded into pieces.

Because of the anti-aircraft bombardment ability of the 88㎜ anti-aircraft gun and its superior anti-tank capabilities, many people forget that this is actually an anti-aircraft anti-aircraft gun, and it is its own bank to deal with various large air targets. In order to deal with those floating battleships with armored protection and compartment design, the Empire designer also specially developed anti-aircraft armor-piercing projectiles and delayed fuzes, so as to penetrate the outer armor and explode in the hull, using the enclosed environment to increase killing effect. Not to mention the two thin-skinned patrol gunboats in front of you, that is, the cruiser-class floating battleships eating two such shells in the same place may also cause the keel to deform, the ship's pipelines are seriously damaged, and the fragile destroyer is not on the spot. It's short in two.

The power of the eight heavy anti-aircraft artillery volleys was so shocking that the surviving ship did not react until the burial ship was exploded, and the smoky boat hurriedly began to turn and turn its head. Due to the degree of damage, the effective range of the enemy's air defense artillery cannot be run at all, it is better to reduce the altitude~www.readwn.com~Use the cover of the forest to avoid the enemy's blow, and escape to a safe zone before making a forced landing.

The captain's judgment was correct and timely, and any experienced commander would do the same in a similar situation.

If it is not the Lapland people who are hospitable and want to keep them, this boat still has a chance to escape.

The machine-gun positions hidden in the woods opened fire, and orange-red light whips lashed back and forth over the devastated boat, and the engine compartment suspended outside the cabin was under special attention. As a series of tracer incendiary bombs penetrated into the engine compartment, the burning black smoke mixed with the leaked high-pressure steam, depicting a serpentine fall for the dying patrol gunboat. In the end, the boat, with a screaming crew and ammunition that had already started burning, plunged on the beach, and the fireballs and storms that killed the troops on both sides of the Tepalai River had to temporarily stop all operations, or Is lying down on the spot, or tightening the body in the bunker. Storms of steel, flames, and scorched black corpses flew over the soldiers' heads, and the air began to be filled with a terrible barbecue smell, and the dying wailing and curses could be heard faintly in the roaring wind.

The magnificent and terrifying picture of war is close at hand, but none of the soldiers of the two countries want to enjoy the spectacular scenery that is rare in ordinary days. The officers pulled out the revolver and the small hammer (with a shell) that was distributed together, with a whistle in their mouth. The soldiers silently put the bayonet on the muzzle, loaded it, and opened the insurance. The machine gunner’s thumb was pressed against the trigger, the deputy shooter was lying on his side, holding a canvas chain in his hand, the ammunition hand in the back was squatting on standby, and five opened ammunition boxes were placed next to his feet. The brass bullet on it exudes a cold breath.

The officers looked at their watches, and the sharp copper whistle rang through the front line. In the cry of "Ula", the soldiers of the Principality rushed to the river beach.
