"Fire, soldiers!" Lieutenant Watts Kuiden, commander of the SEAL team of the EPLA officer corps, shouted loudly to the workers and EPLA soldiers behind him.
Although the target of epla's attack was not Pinoche's base camp, the Cassandra Governor's Palace, they were still intercepted by the imperial army at all levels¡ª¡ª[]
Unlike those old cities built during the First Emperor's era, Cassandra is a new city that emerged thanks to developed industry and commerce - therefore, it does not have an acropolis (similar to the Acropolis of Athens on Earth). This is more beneficial for offense.
The entire city is built on the long strip of mountains known as the "Cassandra Mountains", and to the south is the sea facing the Eastern Continent. In the middle of the mountains, there is a mountain pass - this is Cassandra's only access to the outside world. And the only railway line in Emera enters Cassandra from this mountain pass. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles, the train station is stuck right in the middle of the city.
With the train station as the dividing line, the entire city is divided into Dongcheng District and Xicheng District. Yusanjia's factories and industries, as well as Lubyanka Cafe, are all in Xicheng District. The main industries of fat pigs, the governor's personal barracks and the governor's palace are all concentrated in Dongcheng District. In other words, the train station is the only way to attack the Governor's Palace.
As long as the train station can be defended, it can not only prevent Jiang Yucheng's troops in Xicheng District from attacking Dongcheng District, but also intercept the main force of EPLA entering the city. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. Therefore, Pinoche concentrated all the existing troops in his hands, relying on the railway station, and fortified it layer by layer.
Although the Imperial Army had just suffered heavy losses, at least they were still quite sufficient in number - it was just that the soldiers were frightened by the big iron bird in the sky and did not dare to charge rashly. They only dared to hide in the houses. Attack from a distance.
Although Pinoche was not an officer of the Imperial Royal Air Force Dragoons and did not know what "air superiority" was in the true sense, he still knew very well - facing the big iron bird flying above their heads, they If you take the initiative to expose yourself, the only outcome is to be blown to pieces.
This also led to a result-these emperors lost their urban combat capabilities in the "traditional sense of the empire."
The so-called urban combat capability in the "traditional imperial sense" is for soldiers to rush forward and fight the enemy hand-to-hand with their swords. Interestingly, the emperor's weakened morale actually made them choose the correct tactics in the true sense. If they really charge over with swords, then I am afraid that the EPLA officers will laugh out loud in their dreams - the 95B short assault rifles and MP5 submachine guns in their hands will give these Imperial soldiers an extremely warm welcome. ¡¤¡¤
It is a pity that the imperial army adopted the retreating tactic, but it brought greater trouble to epla - because this is already the form of modern street fighting. Although the officers have all received systematic CQB training, the problem now is that the main force of this force is not the well-equipped EPLA who have received strict military training, but the newly formed workers' picket team.
What¡¯s even more terrible is that Jiang Yucheng¡¯s order to the officers was to do everything possible to reduce the casualties of workers-this means that the officers must use the troops at hand carefully.
The emperor simply doesn¡¯t know the modern army¡¯s street fighting methods, and now their morale is in danger of collapsing. For them, organized tactics rely on a large number of private houses and various temporary bunkers built using sandbags to block the advance of the EPLA troops.
In fact, Pinoche had always focused on collecting intelligence on epla before this. Although there is not much secret content, he still knows a little about how EPLA soldiers are trained in peacetime - in the current urban combat, he also imitates EPLA's appearance, arranges bunkers, and sets up snipers and firepower points. (Combat warlocks serve as "turrets"). These arrangements brought great trouble to Jiang Yucheng, who actually had insufficient troops.
Under normal circumstances, if you attack by force regardless of losses, you will have to lose at least one-third of your troops to capture the train station. You know, even if Jiang Yucheng's order to reduce the losses of the workers' pickets as much as possible is not taken into account, such battle losses are unbearable - after all, EPLA has only a small number of troops in the city, and if the losses are too large, they can even capture the train. Standing still may not be able to withstand the emperor's counterattack.
"Sir, the enemy's firepower is too strong! We can't rush through!" Sergeant Paul Jackson, who had just led the main attack force to retreat, shouted loudly - opposite was a street they had to pass, but sandbags were set up at the intersection, hiding behind Behind the sandbags were several Imperial soldiers and a combat warlock. There are several Imperial sharpshooters (not snipers in the strict sense) in the windows of the houses on both sides.
As soon as they show up, they will immediately be hit by double firepower from sharpshooters and combat warlocks - imagine that more than a dozen RPGs are fired in succession.?How terrifying it must be In the previous round of attacks, four workers and one EPLA soldier had been killed - and the platoon led by Lieutenant Vazquiden only had a total of thirty-three people.
"Jackson, take out the smoke grenades!" the lieutenant shouted, "get ready to call for air support! It's crazy!"
"Yes, sir!"
Jackson bent his waist and walked out of the alley where he was. In order to prevent his target from being exposed, he lay on the ground and crawled forward step by step. Fortunately, due to the poor lighting conditions and the good camouflage effect of the universal digital camouflage, the warlocks and sharpshooters on the opposite side did not notice him for a while.
He took out a special-shaped grenade from his waist, bit the ring with his teeth, and threw it in the direction of the sandbag bunker on the opposite side. Although this exposed him to the opponent's sight, the large amount of red smoke emitted by the grenade prevented them from finding Jackson's exact location before the opponent could fire. Moreover, the most important thing is that they will have no chance to open fire in the future
"Magic bird, this is Porcupine 0-7." Jackson said into the communicator, "Requesting fire support - the target has been marked, and the identification color is red."
"The sacred bird has been received and is ready to drop the bomb."
The F-15E fighter-bomber in the sky shook its wings slightly, and an SDB bomb detached from its pylon, opened the wings behind it, and roared towards the direction of the red smoke. Just hearing a loud "Boom!", the sandbag fortifications blocking the road and the warlocks behind were all turned into powder in the explosion.
"Yes! RPG!" When several members of the workers' picket team saw that the "fixed turret" in front was demolished by bombers, they immediately rushed forward with cheers and aimed their RPG-7 rocket launchers at several windows where the imperial sharpshooters were hidden. "Whooshboom!" A series of rockets flew by, and these sharpshooters were soon immortalized in the fire - this is the difference between them and professional snipers. For snipers, one shot changes the place. It can be said to be common sense in common sense.
¡°clea
! "Jackson gestured.
"Forward!" Lieutenant Vazquiden waved his hand, and the EPLA soldiers behind him quickly led the workers to move forward. It has to be said that the imperial roadblocks did bring a lot of trouble to epla, but from another perspective, epla's soldiers can also use the bunkers left by the empire to move forward:
Just a few streets away from Cassandra Train Station, they were once again blocked at an intersection by the evil "fixed turret" combat warlock. The problem this time is that the F-15e has run out of ammunition - after all, the F-15e is not a strategic bomber and cannot carry hundreds of bombs at a time, and now EPLA's Air Force, or Army Aviation, is simply an empty shelf in name only. , having only one fighter plane obviously cannot guarantee that one's own aircraft will always be present in the sky.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, although the F-15e had run out of ammunition, Jiang Yucheng still ordered the young shot to continue cruising over the war zone
So, next they need to rely on their own strength to resolve the battle.
"Grigos, ask the artillery squad to set up the mortar for me!" the lieutenant shouted again, "We must not let go of the habit of not being able to fight without air support!"
"Yes, sir!" Sergeant Grigos, who was in charge of leading the artillery squad, first threw a smoke grenade to the opposite side. Under the cover of the smoke, he led the newly formed mortar squad and ran to the "fixed fort" "On the opposite side, there is no enemy behind the bunker. He directed several workers in the artillery squad to hurriedly take out the pp87 60mm mortar he was carrying and install the tripod.
Of course, the workers in the artillery squad have not yet received gunner training, so the final firing work must be done by him. After determining the enemy's position and adjusting the angle and orientation, Sergeant Grigos took out a cannonball and placed it at the muzzle. As soon as he let go, with a "kick!" sound, the cannonball flew out of the muzzle, drew a beautiful arc, and landed accurately behind the "fixed turret" on the opposite side.
"Boom!" The world is finally clean again.
After paying the price of losing 10 workers and 4 EPLA soldiers, they finally got ahead of the other two troops and were the first to reach the outskirts of Cassandra Railway Station.
"Attention, teams, this is the Overlord." At this moment, Jiang Yucheng's order came from the lieutenant's earphone, "Every team will stop attacking immediately. Repeat, each team will stop attacking immediately, and stay put and standby!" "
"What? This is" Seeing that he was about to break into the train station gate, but had to stop, Lieutenant Watts Quiden felt very unhappy - but an order is an order, whether you want it or not, you have to Execute normally.
And, in fact, the last level is the most difficult one - the area around Cassandra Railway Station is very empty and there are no bunkers. If you launch an attack rashly, the only outcome will be to be beaten into pieces by the Imperial soldiers and warlocks in the defense line around the train station. In the center of the main entrance of the train station, a temporary bunker has taken shape - the entire squad that just sacrificed in the middle proved that neither RPG nor mortars were effective against this bunker with a magic shield attached.
However, Jiang Yucheng is not worried - the reason is very simple, his second hole card is now ready for use:
"This is RRU-2 Black Tiger, we have entered the war zone"
