The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 220 War of Attrition
"Long live Guatemala!"

In front of the field position of the Pioneer Corps, covered with mountains and plains, the Army of the Republic of Guatemala, which did not even have a set of uniforms, launched the Viva Charge.

Long live charge is not a Japanese patent, it has this tradition in every country, and it can be traced back to the early feudal era!
Of course, the Army of the Republic of Guatemala charged at the beginning, not because of how brave they were, but because the regular army of the Republic of Guatemala was severely undertrained. It is no problem to walk in the right pace at the military parade on weekdays, but it is a bit difficult to walk in the right pace under the bombardment of artillery fire. people...

The troops who marched in unison and perfectly during the military parade are just superficial beauty. Whether they can fight or not, they have to be taken for a walk on the battlefield.

Many honor guards who held their heads high and proud during military parades were the first to be scared to the point of peeing when they arrived on the battlefield...

The commander of the Guatemalan Army found that his formation was stopped by the enemy's not very strong artillery fire, and even when it was developing towards chaos, he decisively withdrew his troops.

Then he changed to a combat method that was very suitable for Guatemala-Viva Charge!
Don't wait in any queues, just swarm forward with the company and battalion as the basic unit. Once you enter the range of the enemy's artillery, start jogging and charging to open up a distance. Once you get close to the range of the flintlock gun, start sprinting with all your strength!
During the charge, the soldiers all fired freely!

This kind of combat mode encountered well-trained troops in the era of queuing and shooting, that is, several rounds of volley plus one round of charge.

However, the commander of the Guatemalan Army could guarantee that the 'American troops' on the opposite side would never dare to leave the trenches.

The reason is simple. The Guatemalan Army that launched the attack was three times the strength of the U.S. Army on the opposite side!
The weapons and equipment on both sides are the same, so three can't win against one?

What's more, the American Pioneer Legion on the opposite side is still a level behind the real elite Imperial Army of the American Empire, and its combat effectiveness is not much stronger than the 20 regular army that was temporarily formed in the Republic of Guatemala.

The commander of the Army of the Republic of Guatemala is obviously very accurate. The frontline officers and soldiers of the Vanguard Corps don't even talk about counterattacks, and even the morale of the defense on the spot is low!

The number of enemies is simply too much!
And our own artillery is not strong enough...

The good field artillery has all been transferred to the Imperial Legion. The Vanguard Legion has a lot of artillery, but they are all old guns that should have been eliminated long ago. How much firepower can they produce?
Those old man's artillery even need to cool down after firing a shot, otherwise the artillerymen are worried that they will explode!

This is not unfounded worry, but the bloody experience written by the predecessors of the amateur artillery of the Vanguard Corps...

Soon, scattered gunshots rang out from the Vanguard Corps' position, and the Army of the Republic of Guatemala, which was charging, finally suffered considerable casualties.

However, after the first round, the gunfire from both sides began to become uneven.

It didn't take long for the Army of the Republic of Guatemala to take advantage of its numbers and rush to the defensive position of the Vanguard Corps, and fierce hand-to-hand combat began in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a cavalry team of the Vanguard Legion broke out from the flanks and blocked the charging Republic of Guatemala Army. The Army of the Republic of Guatemala lost its stamina and became chaotic. In this way, the Army of the Republic of Guatemala was defeated...

This is not the first time that the Army of the Republic of Guatemala has been repulsed. After an in-depth review and analysis, the commanders of the Army of the Republic of Guatemala agreed that the enemy's position on the opposite side could not be defeated because there were not enough troops.

If one hundred thousand troops can be gathered, no matter how much the vanguard army defends, they can run over them directly!

Soon this report was sent to the President of the Republic of Guatemala. The Republic of Guatemala is a military-political integration, and the President is also the Commander-in-Chief of the National Army.

From a normal tactical point of view, it is necessary to increase troops, but considering the existence of Yuri, the president of the Republic of Guatemala dare not issue this order.

Don’t feel sorry for losing the tens of thousands of people who attacked in front. If Yuri catches an army of [-] people, it will be a loss of nearly half!
And after such a big defeat, the blow to the morale of the Army of the Republic of Guatemala will not be small.

Therefore, the President of the Republic of Guatemala decided to still fight according to the previous established plan.

In this way, the total strength of the Army of the Republic of Guatemala in front has always been maintained at less than 5. If it is less, it will be replenished, and it will continue to attack the various positions of the Pioneer Legion with fewer people, using human lives to consume it!
The war between the American Empire and the Republic of Guatemala has become a war of attrition!

Yuri is not in a hurry about this situation, he can't appear on the battlefield, otherwise, after winning a battlefield, the enemy will immediately find Yuri's position, and then they will suddenly increase their troops to achieve breakthroughs in other places!
At that time, Yuri will fall into the situation of running back and forth and being led by the nose by the enemy.

The nearly 5 people on the front line of the Republic of Guatemala are not clustered together, but distributed across the entire front. It is impossible for Yuri's summoned army to wipe out these nearly 5 people.

The biggest possibility is that Yuri's summoned legion will first defeat the enemy, then charge to break through the vanguard legion's position, and launch a life-or-death pursuit of Yuri...

This is the reason why Yuri has never made a move. After all, the main force of the enemy is still in the rear, full of stamina!
In addition, the front line is consumed by miscellaneous troops like the Vanguard Corps, and Yuri doesn't feel sorry for how many deaths. At worst, the Vanguard Corps' authority to expand its troops will be relaxed after the war, allowing Domingo to restore its strength.

Anyway, in the American continent where oppression and exploitation are everywhere, the most indispensable thing is soldiers who want to make ends meet.

As a result, the two sides fought for more than a month around the field fortifications built by the Vanguard Corps!
In order to reduce the consumption of the army, the President of the Republic of Guatemala put military pressure on the American Empire, requiring the frontline troops to conduct at least one full-scale attack every day!
As a result, this tug of war caused heavy losses to both the Republic of Guatemala and the Vanguard Corps.

One after another, the disabled troops of the vanguard army were removed from the front line to rest, and new reserves were pulled up.

The main force of the vanguard army has all been pulled to the border to resist.

Later, Domingo also personally supervised the recruitment of recruits to supplement those who were disabled.

These disabled establishments are precious wealth to Domingo, because this establishment is full of veterans who have fought bloody battles!

Although the losses of the Vanguard Legion in this battle are not clear, it is equivalent to a bloody beating and tempering of themselves.

If there is no accident, after this war is over, the Vanguard Corps will completely solve the problem of having a large number of recruits with a mixed composition.
