"Ulla!" The assault soldiers quickly passed through this corridor of flesh and blood, hacked the surviving defenders to death, and broke through to the upper level of the town, where the city defense artillery under the control of the Sami people continued to fire. Stanley's assault boat was hit and turned into a pile of burning scrap iron on the snow field.

In the evening, the last Sami's city defense fort, which was struggling to the end, was breached, and an Ursus flag was raised on the top of the city, indicating that the frontline town had been occupied, opening the way for the follow-up troops to advance.

At the same time, in the Sami capital, Colombian troops are making final preparations before departure. They cannot lose the Sami fortress located about 70 kilometers north of the capital. The time given to them by those Sami troops is very limited.

The tanks of the vanguard left the mooring in a long line, followed by the trucks transporting infantry and supplies, but the heavy artillery and heavy weapons promised by the Sami people have not been seen yet.

"Damn it, why don't we use flesh and blood to surround the homes of these horned men?" Most of the Sami people had antlers, and most of them belonged to the Elfila tribe.

"Wilmes, don't say a few words." The platoon leader slapped the clipboard and a stack of documents on the front cover of the vehicle, "We will follow Colonel Job's men, and we must arrive here to set up camp before dark. We will be the vanguard The platoon controls the bridge located here, it is said that a small group of Ursus troops have infiltrated here, be vigilant, it is best not to go wrong, if the bridge is destroyed, then we will not get heavy weapons and ammunition for at least next month supply"

"Great, where's our engineering team?"

"Something went wrong with them." Common problem, a small-scale natural disaster swept across the southern Sami plains, in the form of a tornado, engineering troops and heavy equipment had to stop and wait for the natural disaster to pass before moving forward.

"That is to say, we have to rely on an old fortress that is at least a century old to withstand the onslaught of the entire army of the Ursus barbarians for at least a week?"

"Okay, Corporal Wilms, I know those generals' brains weigh less than an ounce, but complaining can't solve any problems!" The platoon leader knocked on the old subordinate's helmet, "Actually, what Ursus can invest There are not many troops. This is a river valley. It is difficult for them to deploy a large-scale force, and the river beach is not strong. Their assault boats cannot move. It is also difficult for them to attack the fortress by light tanks and infantry. feeling bad."

"However, they have artillery, we don't, I hope the old fortress can withstand it."

"Woo!" "Hey, boys, the special car is here, get in the car!" The arrival of the truck interrupted the pre-war briefing of the vanguard platoon, and the soldiers from Colombia packed up their things and jumped into the car.

"Really old enough" is not a mobile town, but a fixed castle fortress. It seems to have a history of at least two centuries. It is composed of solid stones and excavated mountains. All buildings are constructed of huge stones. There are also many caves for Tibetan soldiers in the mountain.

It seems to rely on three sides of the mountain to defend against natural disasters. It belongs to an ancient refuge. This fortress is not on the side of the road, but on the side of the valley, condescendingly blocking the entire valley. Then even if Ursas can pass through the valley, its logistics and supply lines will also be under the threat of the opponent.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get ready to attack. Intelligence shows that Colombian reinforcements are on the way and may enter the fortress at any time. They are much more difficult to deal with than those Sami trash."

"Actually, the Sami are quite capable of fighting. We lost at least half a battalion of troops in the mountains and forests in the northwest. Those hunters and rangers caused us almost twice as much damage as their government troops."

"Yes, but this is a frontal battlefield, and the tactics of those cunning mice are useless." "Our task is to take down the bridge in the south of the fortress and destroy that bridge!"

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Colombian vanguard platoon arrived at this stone bridge built at least two or three centuries ago. Natural disasters and years have left mottled marks on it. Make a whimpering sound like a ghost cry.

"Occupy the two bridgeheads and set up the defense line. The speed is fast!" There are small stone castles at both ends of the long bridge, with a total of three floors. The mobile bunker parts block the gates and windows, and arrange the firing ports and firepower points.

"Sandbags!" A truckload of sandbags was dumped on the bridge deck to build defensive bunkers. On both sides of the bridge, those reinforced steel beams also did a simple inspection. The technical engineers believed that they could support the passage of heavy vehicles, but only a part of them The supporting frame of the car has been seriously aged, and only one heavy transport vehicle can pass at a time.

Under the bridge is the snow river brought by the spring and summer snowmelt during the wet season. After measuring the water depth and flow velocity, the vanguard gave up deploying defenses on the river bank. With this flow velocity and water depth, it is almost impossible for the Ursus to swim over unless they It is really possible to sail a boat on land and drag a surface vehicle here.

Otherwise, the pontoons of those all-terrain assault vehicles will only end up being overturned or rolled up and hitting reefs and river bank rocks in such high-speed rivers.

However, just in case, two searchlights arranged by the Sami were repaired by engineers, and they were placed directly near the river on both sides of the bridge, just in case the Ursas really took the risk to cross the river and attack.

"Hey, second lieutenant, I heard that the Ursus are still fighting with machetes and spears, is it true?" a recruit asked curiously.

"That's right, they even defeated a reorganized division of Sami with blowguns. Damn it, you'd better not believe a word of the domestic media's bullshit!" the platoon leader complained.

When they came, what did the domestic media say? Even if the Sami people were a group of pigs, Ursas would have to catch them for a few days. Difficult to launch continuous division-level campaigns.

But the reality is that a group of pigs, Ursus, may really have to be caught for a few days. After all, pigs will not surrender in an organized way, and Ursas has also proved that he can indeed launch continuous division-level battles. And a series of military operations to force the enemy to gradually lose the initiative.

It is almost two kinds of tactics and strategies compared with the gang-hopping and trench warfare in the past. This makes the troops on the Colombian front have a more pessimistic view of their future. Of course, it is only pessimistic. Ursus is not the only one making military reforms.

The Colombian Legion has also made corresponding adjustments, at least in terms of equipment and strategy. As for how well the front-line generals have implemented it, it is hard to say.

After all, although Ursus has achieved continuous battle-level operations, there are still a lot of water and various messy mistakes in it, and it almost even overturned in the northwest forest because it couldn't coordinate.

Chapter 7 Titles in Nordic Godslayer

"It's not easy~" Ursas vanguard commander looked at the bridge that had been lit up under the night, "Two pneumatic ballistas and a thunder hammer, plus two platoons of infantry, we have to discuss it carefully. Alright." Ursus now only has six divisions defending the royal family to renew with new equipment, while these divisions on the front line have only enhanced some of their equipment or issued a small amount of advanced equipment.

Even for the vanguard squad with enhanced equipment, it is only on the basis of the original commando, adding a short staff developed by Ursus technology. This is a technology jointly developed by Dongguo and Victoria, with about The forearm is long and short, suitable for portability, and its natural power is much weaker than that of a real staff.

It is suitable for assault troops to perform more tactical tasks, and the function is also very single, such as releasing electric current or expanding one's own Originium skills, etc. However, since Originium skills have a greater relationship with personal physique, it is difficult to form an organized team. Armies, therefore, more still use the built-in unity spell effects.

"Except for the standard configuration, we only have two portable mortars and three grenade launchers. Storming is simply killing us!"

The pneumatic ballista is not as good as the most advanced electromagnetic crossbow. After all, the number of shots that the high-pressure gas cylinder can support is limited, but the cluster ballista it fires is simply a slaughter machine for infantry on terrain like bridges.

A single crossbow bolt is 1.3 meters long and 2.1 centimeters in diameter. The arrow is a conical armor-piercing arrow. It can pierce three or four people in one shot. In places like bridges, the attacker has almost no bunkers available. If there is no fire support, that is Pieces died on the way to charge.

"Our task is to blast bridges, not to engage in positional warfare with each other, so we just need to find a way to get those two searchlights." They were equipped with some mechanical hooks, which came from Kazdel's civilian patent technology, but some clever The front-line technical sergeant realized that this is a very useful tool for climbing the city, so he transformed part of the claws used for logistics into this flying claw.

This allows them to use the reinforced beams on both sides of the bridge to quickly enter the dead corner under the bridge to install the bomb, but there is a prerequisite, that is, they must restrain the other party's attention and get rid of the two searchlights.

Otherwise, the scene would turn into groups of infantry grenades and pneumatic ballistas covering and bombing on the unsheltered river beach.

"Sniper?"

"It's too far, our weapons can't reach it." The sniper looked at his sniper crossbow and shook his head. Only those people's snow rabbit rifles can reach this distance, and it's just a small amount of heat that Ursus can get. Weapons are used to give priority to those few elite divisions.

"Boom~" A Colombian convoy slowly passed the stone bridge. This kind of semi-tracked trailer with a width of 7 meters and a length of 22 meters can only pass one at a time, but it can transport hundreds of tons of ammunition to the front line at a time. And various supplies, they also have certain defensive capabilities and firepower.

In the wild, it can be quickly formed into a circle to form a mobile defensive outpost. It can be regarded as Terra's characteristic "base vehicle". The vehicle body can be used as a defensive wall, and the turret in the middle of the vehicle body can be raised as a defensive weapon station.

After the bracket itself is opened, alloy plates can be used to quickly build a layer of outer urn city and high platform shooting positions. An outpost composed of multiple vehicles of this type can provide supplies, maintenance and various services for the front line. The side opening is a workstation, which can be used as a Hospitals, armory shops, repair shops and food trucks.

It's just that its tonnage is too large. After inspection by the engineers, only one vehicle can pass through this bridge at a time, otherwise it may be crushed. It takes about 3 to 5 minutes to pass once, and then form a team in the open space on the other side of the bridge. Under the cover of other combat vehicles, head towards the direction of Shihe Fortress.

"Wait for this convoy to leave, and then we'll do it again." The convoy pulled Kazdel in the civil war, which proved that air defense is useless, but it can kill infantry faster than anything else. This kind of rapid-fire gun that uses Originium high-explosive fragmentation grenades is a magic cannon. Even Columbia has no good way to achieve that speed, so it can only be made into a spell coil gun.

The gun body has multiple magic rings similar to staffs, which require two warlocks to operate, and two warlocks assist in charging, so as to achieve a higher rate of fire and exit speed.

Even so inconvenient, the appearance of portable barrel artillery still greatly changed the battlefield of Terra, but the speed of shelling and the consumption of combat warlocks are really a bit fast.

It is very laborious to use the human body as a charging circuit to guide the energy of the origin stone into the cannon. Even if various advanced technologies are used to alleviate it, there is still a high probability that the warlock will be induced by the radiation of the origin stone particles in a short period of time. .

Therefore, the best one-time human shells are: Infected, they have a charging limit that breaks through the biological limit, and at the same time, as long as they can be used for more than 1 minute, they are earned. As for the induction and deterioration of ore disease, it is very important for most countries in Terra. Rather, it is a good way to solve the social problems caused by the increasing number of infected people.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that the convoy and the accompanying artillery passed through. The assault troops knew that they could no longer spend time here. Every time a convoy passed by, the artillery density of the main force on the front line would double. , The effect of artillery washing the ground has been created by the Ursus before, and they don't want to stand on the side of the ground being washed to experience it.

"It's really clean. I thought those Ursus people would come to attack the bridge, so, did they give up?" The recruits observed the periphery for a while from the shooting port. They had been consumed by helping to maintain the traffic order and organizing the convoy to cross the bridge. With a lot of energy, now I can only rely on smoking one after another to resist this fatigue. "I'm starting to miss the instant coffee in the battalion."

The powder made from cheap coffee beans purchased from Sargon and Minos is a common consumable for the frontline troops. Unfortunately, this kind of supply is no longer available.

"I heard that in the northwest woodlands, those Sami were not bad at fighting, and they gave the Ursas a hard blow." The recruit continued to babble, "They used deadly traps and exquisite shooting positions to eliminate At least 1000 people were killed in Ursas, and then again, I thought the Sami troops were the kind... how to put it, they would pee their pants in fear when they saw the enemy."

"Yes, that kind of troops are on our side." The platoon leader rolled his eyes. Those brave young people who can fight, those who dare to fight, are all on the side of the rebels, and their will to resist is extremely firm. , and the fighting power is also very strong.

In the case of insufficient supplies, materials and ammunition, they wiped out nearly a regiment of Ursas troops, but their manpower and materials can only do this. Without mentioning the word, it was the Colombian media who reported on it to discredit Ursas' combat effectiveness.

"Cheer up, as long as we get through tonight, the reinforcements will come tomorrow, and we can go back to the warm barracks and have a good sleep." The platoon leader shouted, and the troops that followed up to consolidate the bridge defense It will be six o'clock, and there are still four hours left, just get through it.

However, he also knew that if Ursus knew of the existence of this bridge, he would definitely do it tonight, otherwise the loss of their frontline troops would reach a terrible level.At the same time, a group of black shadows were squirming in the woodland on the other side of the river, a little closer to the bridgehead, "The shooting window is too small."

"Try your best!" That's all the commander of the assault platoon could say. It's too difficult to pass an arrow through a hole no bigger than a human head to kill the sentinel at this distance.

Kill the sentry, then approach to destroy the searchlight, and then another platoon will launch a feint attack to divert the enemy's attention and counter fire, and then it is the turn of the assault team to fly to the bridge with hook claws and blast.

As long as the bridge is destroyed, even if Columbia's follow-up luggage is brought in, it will take more time to reach the Stone River Fortress. It is too difficult to cross the river valley and send it to the fortress.And for a besieged fortress, it is only a matter of time before it falls.

Moreover, no matter how poor Ursas's logistics and transportation capabilities are, it is not without them. The new artillery from the rear will be delivered soon. Again, since Rhodes Island used body artillery and air strikes on a large scale during the Kazdel Civil War, Terra's war mindset was changed.

It’s just that neither Ursus nor Colombia realize one thing, that is, permanent stone fortresses and mobile towns that use a large number of light and flammable materials such as carbon materials are two concepts, and the former is much stronger in terms of the ability to withstand artillery fire .

Especially now that the Terra people have not yet developed heavy shells and corresponding train guns against this permanent stone fortress, relying on conventional light and medium rapid-fire guns will greatly reduce the killing effect on the enemies hiding inside. Weakened, because most of the current Terra shells still rely on fragments to kill.

After all, Originium explosives are not gunpowder with self-oxides. Its reaction rate limit is very low, and the total energy release is large, which means that simply increasing the charge will cause a large amount of Originium components to be blown away without reaction, and will not participate in the reaction. , so the power will not increase and may decrease.

"Enemy attack!" The moment the sentinel fell to the ground, the feint attack force began to attack the bridgehead. All the mortars and grenade launchers were reinforced for this platoon, and dense grenade and mortar shells fell around the bridgehead. Old ballistas mounted above and Colombian snipers returned fire.

"Thunder Hammer Squad!" A Thunder Hammer Type [-] chariot slowly drove up the bridge deck, firing explosive crossbow bolts at the enemy with electromagnetic piercers, and providing cover for the infantry to shield from fragments.

The fragments produced by infantry mortars and grenade launchers are difficult to cause any damage to Thunder Hammer. If it is Thunder Hammer Type [-], it may be penetrated, but Type [-] has thicker armor and is difficult to penetrate.

"Buzz!" A crossbow bolt as thick as an arm passed through the battlefield, nailing an unlucky Ursus artilleryman to a tree. The Originium bomb at the end detonated and scattered fragments, and the light mortar was blown out. The structure was distorted, and it was obviously scrapped. Without a mortar, the attacking side's firepower was immediately weakened.

"Crack!" A searchlight went out abruptly, "Get on the bridge!" The demolition team hooked the reinforcement bracket with hook claws, and flew towards the bottom of the bridge. "Pay attention to the enemies on both sides, Carter, and take a squad down!" The defenders I also realized the opponent's purpose, but I didn't know how many enemies there were in the dark, so I didn't dare to mobilize too many troops in the front.

At the same time, under the bridge, the Ursas demolition team had already installed the first bomb and was installing the second one. "Pfft!" The dense crossbow bolts nailed the demolition man to the side of the bomb, while the infantry protecting the demolition team He also quickly raised his shield to cover, and returned fire with a hand crossbow.

The two sides fought fiercely using the wooden planks between the piers and the brackets as bunkers. Compared with the new type of firearms that appeared in Kazdel, the flaws of the crossbow arrows began to appear, that is, the lethality behind the bunkers was seriously insufficient.

After all, crossbow arrows, as ammunition with too long body diameter, are longer than the thickness of the human body, and it is almost impossible to roll over in the human body. If the penetrating power is too strong, there will really be meaningless penetration. A type with strong braking effect.

In this way, after entering the human body, because of the water hammer effect in the blood, it will quickly cause the target to become unconscious and lose combat effectiveness. However, if it hits a thick wooden board, it will quickly get stuck and it will be difficult to penetrate further. The lethality is too weak to penetrate the target's armor.

But the bullets are another matter. A thick wooden plank of this level is a little difficult to defend against even pistol bullets. If it is a rifle bullet, then the only meaning is to block the enemy's shooting sight.

The second bomb was installed under the desperate efforts of the cover team, followed by the third one. A total of four bombs were needed to blow up the entire bridge with an irreparable gap, and now the task is half completed.

"One more squad down!" After realizing that something was wrong with the battle below, and the huge casualties forced the feint attack squad to retreat, another infantry squad joined the battle at the bottom of the bridge, "It's too late, detonate!" Demoman Clutching the wound on his arm, he rolled away from the range of the grenade fragments, dropped the remaining bomb next to the installed second bomb, and pressed it hard to detonate.

"Boom!" The bridge deck shook violently, stone chips flew, and large stones fell into the river like a waterfall. The reinforcement brackets on both sides were also distorted under the shock wave. The rice fell into the river, causing splashes of water.

However, this ancient bridge finally survived the incomplete blasting. Although a crack appeared on the bridge deck, a large number of stones and the bridge structure were destroyed, but the reinforcement brackets and the bridge itself were not installed at the weak points. Detonation reduces this damage.

"Retreat!" The Ursas retreated without hesitation. Although they did not achieve their full goal, the bridge was also difficult to pass heavy vehicles. The Colombians either broke it into pieces, or could only spend some time re-strengthening the bridge. The surface and bridge body, and the repair of the side support structure, no matter which one it is, greatly weakened the amount of materials and weapons that the Colombians could send to the front line before the frontal battle was launched.

The next day, at [-]:[-] p.m., the Ursas Group Army launched a large-scale attack on Shihe Fortress. The magic fireballs and meteor showers continuously fell on the ancient stone city, while the temporary defense stations arranged outside the stone river fortress continued to fight back with pneumatic ballistas and electromagnetic crossbows.

"嗡~" The crossbow arrows brought blood, several Ursus assault soldiers were pierced, and more Ursus infantry rushed towards the fortress from the opposite side of the river valley, crossed the shallow river, and stepped on the strange rocks On the banks of the river, piles of corpses fell on the muddy terraces, and more people stepped on the corpses and the field ridges that had already been covered with weeds, attacking the stone fortress set up on the side of the river valley.

"Tud chug~" Ursus's electromagnetic crossbow made a deep sound, and clusters of metal arrows hit the formation formed by the vehicles like a torrential rain. Bags of steel balls are poured into metal cylinders.

Splashing fragments and arrow clusters caused the defenders to suffer a lot of casualties, and Ursus' shelling that followed was like a heavy hammer shaking the earth, but, as mentioned earlier, these rapid-fire guns were dealing with When fixing the fort, it was not as easy to use as expected.

Most of the fragments were blocked by solid stones, and the shock wave power of the Originium bomb was not too powerful, so it was difficult to kill the infantry hiding in the fortress and the anti-aircraft guns designed by Columbia.

Next, it was the turn of the Colombian artillery to launch a massacre counterattack against the Ursus attacking infantry. The rate of fire of 25 rounds per minute was like a wall of steel balls and fragments for the Ursas. Come and be slaughtered by hordes on the open flats of the valley.

A small number of electromagnetic piercers and large electromagnetic piercers made it difficult for Ursus's light tanks to play the role of cover. In just one afternoon, Ursas left thousands of corpses under the Stone River Fortress. , and dozens of chariot wreckage, the first attack can be said to be a complete failure, and even the battle outpost of Urn City formed by the outermost vehicles was not taken down.

And the casualties of the Colombians were not low. After all, Ursas concentrated all the heavy artillery and mortars of the entire legion, as well as the intensive bombing by war warlocks. Even with the protection of the permanent fortress, more than 100 people were still paid for their deaths. The cost of hundreds of injuries.

Considering that Ursas's force is four times that of the defenders, the siege battle can even be regarded as Ursus temporarily gaining the upper hand. If Colombia cannot break through the battlefield and send in more advanced ordnance, then Ursas You can successfully take down this nail stuck in the offensive route with your life.

And once the Stone River Fortress is captured, there will only be a line of defense as wide as the Snow River from the Sami capital. Ursus can launch an attack in any shoal of the river, and what is more serious is that the Sami capital is in the lower reaches of the Snow River. , then Ursas even only needs to block the river to store water. If you are lucky, two torrential rains will blow up the embankment and release the water, and the flood will wash away the Sami army downstream.

Chapter 8 Observers

Ursas camp, "Hello, General Roman, I'm an observer from Kazdel, you can just call me Dark Cable." The girl with purple-black hair and wearing an OL suit smiled like a dog He shook hands with the army general in front of him.

The monitoring bracelet on her arm represented her identity as an infected person, but in the Ursus military camp that discriminated against infected people, no one dared to touch this girl.

She represents the identity of the Kazdel Republic in the Uca Cooperative Alliance. Apart from this level, she is still a senior employee of Rhodes Island and the Minister of Security of Titan Military Industry. No one knows that seven or eight years ago, she was just a street in Longmen A thief who earns his living by stealing wallets.

"Hello, Ms. Ansuo, I hope you are satisfied with the environment here."
