    "Damn the Irish! Damn the English! Damn the Welsh! Damn the Austrians! Damn the Spaniards! Damn the Americans! These despicable and shameless invaders, all go to hell!" Dumfries Defense Line  At a certain forward position, a bespectacled Scottish soldier was holding an Enfield bolt-action rifle, leaning on the edge of the trench, muttering curses against the enemy.  The Irish were put first because they were the instigators of this war. They declared war on the grounds that Scotland unilaterally violated the agreement. In addition to directly sending troops to attack Scotland, they also provided money and materials to encourage England to participate in the war.  And a group of so-called "international volunteers" were recruited to join the battle group.  Once the war begins, no matter the outcome, there will be a loss of lives and chaos everywhere!  The English were placed in second place because they were not only the country that sent the most troops to this war, but also provided the most direct springboard for the coalition forces to invade Scotland.  As soon as the cannon fired, hundreds of thousands of English soldiers took the lead and swarmed in. The snow-white St. George flag was once again stained with the blood of the Scots!  The Welsh were placed in third place because in the late 1930s, Scotland regarded Wales as a natural ally and provided them with a lot of assistance during a very difficult period in the country's economy. After the Irish army occupied Wales, Scotland  They have long provided support to the Welsh resistance organizations in the hope that they will one day drive away the invaders. However, as time goes by, most Welsh people have been "bought" by the increasingly prosperous economy and trade and the increasing social welfare. Not only do they  Forgetting hatred, he willingly supported the Irish monarch, even joining his army, obeying his orders, and turning his guns on his former friendly neighbor!  As for the Austrians, Spaniards, and Americans, they are "volunteers" in name, but in fact they all come with the purpose of gaining experience and practicing skills.  The number of participants in the war from these countries is not large. They are either the elite of the elite, or they have unique technical arms, such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire's land heavy artillery, the Spanish anti-aircraft artillery unit, and the Americans' self-propelled radar and howitzer groups.  They were all directly involved in the battle, especially the technical weapons of Austria-Hungary and the United States, which greatly assisted the coalition offensive.  In addition, Germany, which did not directly send troops to participate in the war, also provided great help to the coalition forces in terms of arms and supplies. Most of the combat vehicles equipped by the English army were purchased from the Germans. The main weapons of the English armored forces were  The upgraded model of "Teutonic Knights", on the other hand, on the Scottish side, most of the combat vehicles are long-outdated British goods, plus self-developed and produced, purchased from the United States and Soviet Russia in the early years, and recently obtained from Japan.  The pieced together is not enough for two standard German armored divisions In the trench, an older native non-commissioned officer said loudly in Scottish with a northern accent: "Brothers, our ammunition is getting less and less, and the supplies from the rear are late.  We are not lucky, but we have a clear conscience for holding on until now! Next, we use up all the bullets and grenades. Don't think about fighting the enemy with bayonets, and retreat directly to the rear. If we don't have time to retreat, we will be chased by the enemy!  Come on, you all have to figure out what to do!" To the anxious Big Max, these words were like a warm breeze in the middle of winter and a cool drink in the hot summer, which made him feel energetic all of a sudden.  Having just survived the bombing by the coalition forces, and then facing a flood of ground offensive by the coalition forces, with no air superiority, lack of artillery support, and basically interrupted logistics supplies, there is no hope of victory in this battle!  "Who is it? Who is shaking the morale of the army? Shut up!" a native Scottish officer roared, "For thousands of years, there have only been Scots who died in battle, not Scots who escaped!" At this moment, the supervisor of the battle  The Japanese waved his gleaming saber and shouted in his sinister tone: "To deal with cowards who are afraid of the enemy and afraid of fighting, lessons alone are of no use! Only swords and blood can make soldiers see reality clearly¡ª¡ª  If you fight bravely, you still have a chance of survival. If you turn around and run away, you will definitely die! " Big Max was relatively close. He heard what the Japanese said clearly, so he frowned, glared, and cursed in a low voice!  "madman".  During daily training, the soldiers had had enough of this tireless guy, and privately used abuse and teasing to relieve their anger. But in this war that had nothing to do with Japan directly, this guy's crazy performance was even more  It fits the image of "madman".  The Scottish officer obviously disliked the self-righteous Japanese just like the soldiers. However, due to the form of supervision set by the military's top brass, he could only make detours and not be hard-headed.  He took a full breath and said loudly: "Listen carefully, no one is allowed to retreat without my order! For deserters, the war supervisor has the right to kill them directly!" He intended to change the last sentence.  Speech speedIn order to remind his soldiers that they retreated without authorization, they gave the "madman" an excuse to kill the deserters. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom!  Boom!  As the coalition offensive troops approached the defense line, several combat anti-aircraft guns deployed on the front line let out stubborn roars.  These light and easy-to-use direct-aiming artillery pieces have been used as standard infantry weapons since the re-armament of Scotland. They can deal with light tanks, armored vehicles and ordinary fortifications with ease. They can also kill early models of "Teutonic Knights" and "Teutonic Knights" at relatively close range.  "Celtic Knight", but in the face of upgraded models of "Teutonic Knights" and even new generation tanks such as "Irish Tiger" and "Irish Panther", they can almost only be used to scratch the opponent's itch.  The defenders' light anti-tank artillery did not pose a substantial threat to the attacking coalition tanks, but this does not mean that the Scottish army's defense line will be crushed by the coalition tanks.  The Japanese, who had suffered a great loss in the face of the Soviet steel torrent, had developed several long-range and powerful anti-tank guns over the years, and they generously exported them to Scotland, and even sent special instructors to train Scottish gunners.  .  Although the number of these artillery pieces was too small, and Scotland did not yet have the ability to produce the corresponding ammunition, it was difficult for them to play a role in turning the tide, but at least on the first day of the war, they still performed well in the fierce battle around Dumfries.  .  Most of the coalition tanks that were destroyed in front of the position were thanks to him!  The Scottish soldiers in the forward position were nervously and anxiously waiting for their "heavy can opener" to show its power. However, the expected thunderous roar did not appear for a long time. Instead, their front line trenches were continuously attacked by the enemy.  artillery and tank artillery bombardment.  Whooshboom!  The coherent sound of artillery shells coming and finally exploding is one of the most basic factors on the battlefield. Sometimes they are far away from you, as far as thunder in the sky, and sometimes they are very close to you, so close that you feel that they are  It will kill you.  Big Max was lying on the edge of the trench, and before he had time to rejoice that he had survived for a few more minutes on this difficult battlefield, he heard the roar of the Brown machine gun and the Taisho 11 machine gun coming from the nearby machine gun bunker.  The former has been in service for less than 20 years, and its accuracy and reliability are pretty good, but its firepower is weak. The latter has been in service for nearly 30 years, and its accuracy is not bad, but its reliability and sustained output are ridiculously weak.  Relying on these light weapons against the well-equipped coalition forces, in fact, they were already at a disadvantage before the battle even started.  "Rifleman, fire! Fire! The brave live, the coward dies!" The native Scottish officer walked back and forth along the trench, shouting famous sayings commonly used by the Scots.  As soon as Big Max raised his head, the helmet on his head was hit by an incoming bullet. Under the huge impact, the buckle on the helmet almost strangled him to death.  His ears were ringing, his head was blank, and his vision was filled with smoke, flying dust, and falling bullet casings I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the poor guy finally regained some consciousness, and when he crawled hard,  When I got up, my ears were filled with the rumble of the engine and the friction of the tracks.  According to the experience of the previous day, the enemy tanks may have advanced to the front of the position.  Looking to the left and right, there are still Scottish soldiers fighting in the trenches, but the number is much smaller than before. Those "missing" were either buried by the soil raised by the explosion, or were killed by their companions or medical soldiers.  Drag it away Big Max dropped the deformed helmet, crawled around to pick up a intact one, and hurriedly put it on. At this moment, he saw the man who had been cursed countless times.  This guy's eyes were wide open and empty. His chest was full of blood. He must have been pierced by shrapnel.  "Hey, isn't this the idiot Yamada, our company's combat supervisor? He will actually die?" A Scottish soldier next to him seemed to have discovered a new world.  "Yes, Yamada is dead!" Big Max responded blankly.  "What are you waiting for?" The Scottish soldier shouted, "Captain Jorgensen! Captain! Yamada is dead!" After a while, the Scottish native officer staggered to the scene with his face covered in blood.  Seeing the corpses of the Japanese, he blurted out: "This guy will die too?" "Captain, the combat supervisor has been killed, and our bullets have been used up, not a single shot is left! Are we going to have to use bayonets to fight the enemy?  Are you going to fight hard?" "Yes! The blasting grenades are gone, the explosives are gone, and even the incendiary bottles are gone! Sir, let's retreat!  It¡¯s all gone!¡± Hearing the soldiers¡¯ pleading, the Scottish officer raised his head and looked around.  After repeated attacks by the enemy, there were not many soldiers left in this position.  He wavered and the order to retreat almost arrivedHowever, he hesitated and hesitated because he knew very well that once the retreat order was given, the entire company and even the soldiers in the surrounding positions would give up the battle, and this unorganized retreat was likely to cause damage to the entire line.  The collapse of the defense line.  So, he gritted his teeth and said: "No, without orders from superiors, even if all of us are killed, we cannot retreat without authorization!" A second ago, Big Max still harbored the hope of withdrawing from the position alive. At this moment, he was desperate and completely  Completely desperate.  With all their soldiers, ammunition and even fighting spirit exhausted, they could not stop the enemy's attack this time.  You must know that most of the veteran units of the Scottish Army with the best quality and strongest combat effectiveness have already been put into battle on the Dumfries Line of Defense and Elsden Fortress. If all these effective forces were exhausted in the first two days of the war,  , what will the Scottish army use to stop the coalition's iron hoof next?
