Chapter 226 The Prosen People Flowed Into Rivers of Blood (Update 933)

Prosen Army, Asgard Knights Amphora Division Headquarters.

Giles eagerly awaited reports from the front line.

In addition to the grenadier battalion of the Ampra Division, there were also two grenadier battalions of another grenadier division.

In addition, an additional pontoon bridge unit was transferred from the rear to be responsible for building the bridge.

After the bridge is completed, Prosen's armored forces will also go into attack. Fire Tank II will clear out all buildings cleanly.

This is one of the many experiences that Prosen summed up in the Carolingian Battle. When the smoke obscures the sight of both sides, the flamethrower of the fire-breathing tank will still have good damage, as long as it sprays towards the place where there is a firing flash. That's it.

According to records, Rokossov's troops have not encountered the No. 2 Spitfire Tank before, and this time they want to give him a good taste.

Giles kept pacing around the headquarters, and finally couldn't help but said, "I'd better go to the front line and have a look!"

"No!" Feliz shouted to stop him, "Absolutely not! Although Commander Cruze is out of danger, there is no way for him to return to his command position!"

In fact, if the division staff are not blamed, the impact of the division commander being injured and withdrawing from the field is actually not too great for a division.

Giles sighed and continued pacing back and forth with a straight face. As a result, the staff of the Ampula division did not dare to express their anger - after all, this was the famous person in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Apart from anything else, this man was actually able to convince His Majesty, who was eager to end the war, to accept his use of earthworks to reduce casualties. In the past twenty days, the rumors about this matter became more and more outrageous.

Some people even swore that Gil-Ais was actually the emperor's prostitute when he was prostituted in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Giles has never denied this statement - of course it is possible that he does not know.

In short, no one dared to speak now, watching Giles pacing back and forth.

Two hours after the attack began, news finally came.

"Report Lieutenant General," the messenger saluted Gil-Ais, "Our attacking force was completely suppressed on the river bank by the Ants. The first wave of smoke has dissipated. The frontline commander requested direct fire."

"No." Giles scolded, "Fire another round of smoke. The enemy's anti-tank gun fire is fierce. Let the artillery maintain the smoke cover until the bridge is completed!"

"yes!"

Giles continued to pace, muttering as he walked: "It would be great if the airborne troops were deployed at this time."

Feliz: "You can also ask the air force to help us fight now."

Giles shook his head: "Now that the river is full of smoke, they will use the excuse that they can't see the target and won't come. We have reduced so many losses with soil work, and now it's time to use human lives to break through the enemy's defenses."

————

Wang Zhong whispered: "Will the enemy continue to attack after suffering such heavy losses?"

In fact, no one in the bunker knew how much the Prosen people had suffered, because they couldn't see it.

Now all the firepower of the 1st Guards Division is firing blindly, according to the parameters determined at the beginning, in order to deal with the enemy's smoke blockade.

Only Wang Zhong, the old man wearing smoke, saw that the enemy's entire river bank was filled with dead Pluosen soldiers.

The enemy's pontoon bridge troops are still working hard to build the bridge under heavy mortar fire. The pontoon bridge is currently halfway up.

So Wang Zhong ordered: "Order the artillery regiment to transfer firepower and let the observation post guide the bombardment of the ferry."

Pavlov had no doubts and picked up the phone receiver.

Popov suggested: "Why don't we just put some of the enemies in, so that the soldiers will be embarrassed if they keep hitting the smoke blindly. Let the soldiers see the enemies and then kill them. That will work." "

Wang Zhong shook his head: "No, it is almost certain that the enemy will break through the first fire net. We must kill the enemy to the maximum extent at every pass and eliminate the enemy's effective strength."

Popov: "You are the division commander, you make the decision."

At this time, Wang Zhong suddenly heard the firing of anti-aircraft guns. He raised his head in confusion: "What are you shooting at?"

Vasily listened carefully and said: "It's not our anti-aircraft guns, it seems like the navy over the port is firing."

Wang Zhong immediately switched perspectives.

As a result, the navy was not counted as his subordinate units, so he could only see the unit logo, but he could indeed see the line of fire of the anti-aircraft guns.

Wang Zhong: "It looks like the river gunboat."

Pavlov: "Has the smoke cleared over the port? Can you see the target?"

Wang Zhong himself knew very well that the smoke at the port had not dispersed, but he could only agree: "Maybe."

The navy probably heard heavy artillery bombing the ferry and judged that there was a high-value enemy target at the ferry, so it used the machine cannon on the gunboat to fire.

It can only be said that the navy is indeed of high quality, and its fighting will and fighting initiative are terrifyingly high.

The enemy's pontoon bridge troops on the other side of the ferry were washed away by heavy mortars, heavy artillery and machine guns, and the bridge-building operations had long been stopped.

The question is how long this firepower can last.

Just as Wang Zhong was thinking about it, he saw the Pulosen people who were pinned on the beach near the division headquarters starting to climb the breakwater.

He was stunned to see that the Proson soldier actually inserted the engineer shovel into the gap in the breakwater and climbed onto the road with the engineer shovel!

After the first soldier to climb up confirmed that this method was feasible, he directly threw a smoke bomb to ensure that the smoke was covered.

The second soldier who climbed up carried a bundle of ropes on his back and ran towards the street trees on the side of the road.

Apparently he was going to trap the rope in a tree so that the Prosin soldiers could climb up the breakwater with the rope!

This group of people——

Wang Zhong was about to touch the radio to give orders, when the defenders on the second floor suddenly started throwing grenades down.

What happened?

The defenders on the second floor did not have the perspective ability like Wang Zhong.

He carefully observed the defenders who threw the grenades, and finally realized that these soldiers saw a new smoke point suddenly appearing and felt something was wrong, so they threw the grenades.

The Proson soldiers thought they were discovered and threw grenades directly to the second floor.

As a result, the grenade was caught by the second floor and thrown down again.

Now Ant also knew that there were Proson people coming up.

Wang Zhong saw a captain shouting, and soon a captured Proson machine gun was brought over, set up on the second floor and fired blindly at the bottom.

Others started a grenade war.

The Proson soldiers were few in number and were highly suppressed, so they soon fell behind.

But more enemies found a way to climb up the breakwater.

Of course, the blockade of the stairs must continue, otherwise the enemy will rush up like a tide.

Wang Zhong was paying attention to the attack and defense near the breakwater, and the Proson infantry artillery started firing again - they were clearly suppressed by heavy artillery just now!

However, the enemy's first wave of infantry artillery volleys fell directly on the riverside avenue between the building and the breakwater because of the obstruction of smoke.

The Proson soldiers who finally climbed up and stood firm were killed by their own artillery!

Wang Zhong couldn't close his mouth.

Are all Proson's artillery soldiers hell divers? It's more accurate to hit your own people than the enemy?

Wang Zhong: "Let the artillery observation post guide and suppress the enemy's artillery positions."

Vasily: "Indeed, I just heard the explosion of the enemy's infantry artillery. But it's a mess to suppress it back and forth like this. How about splitting it into two parts and suppressing it separately?"

Wang Zhong: "No! Haven't you heard a saying, it's better to break one finger than to hurt five fingers? Artillery fire should be used in a concentrated manner. If it is dispersed, neither side can achieve good results."

As he spoke, the enemy's artillery unit sent a new round of smoke bombs.

Wang Zhong was shocked: "The enemy is not going to stop spreading smoke."

————

"Don't stop spreading smoke until the smoke bombs are used up." Giles ordered, "If we can't complete the pontoon bridge during the day, we will continue to attack until night. Keep attacking, attacking!"

Feliz: "The first echelon reported heavy casualties, but if they don't withdraw, the second echelon will go up and pile up on the narrow beach."

Giles: "Let the second echelon cross the river from the upstream of the ferry. Further cover the bridge-building operation."

"Yes."

————

In the bunker of the 1st Guards Division, the phone rang.

Pavlov picked up the phone: "Division headquarters. Where are they crossing the river? Got it."

He put down the phone: "The enemy is trying to cross the river upstream."

Wang Zhong: "Send out the armored forces. The river upstream is so wide, the enemy is also anxious."

Although the Duva River is in the dry season now, it is a navigable river after all. Shostka is already the narrowest part of this section of the river.

When Pavlov ordered the armored forces to attack, Wang Zhong heard the sound of the engine.

Since Brother Peter did not notify, it should be Ant's air force that came to help.

As expected, four Yak-1s dived down first and dropped bombs on the west bank ferry.

The 100-kilogram bombs directly lifted the bridge-building vehicles of the Proson people into the air and turned them upside down in the river.

After the first wave of bombing, the second wave of four Yak-1s dived down to continue bombing.

Two waves of 16 bombs directly turned the ferry into a sea of ​​fire.

At this time, Vasily suddenly said: "There is wind!"

Wang Zhong: "Where is the wind?"

Vasily stretched his hand out of the observation window: "Yes, there is wind, and the wind is blowing downstream, which means it is about to rain."

At this time, strong winds from the north began to blow across the surface of the Duva River.

In just ten minutes, the smoke covering the east bank was blown away.

The Proson people who had climbed up the breakwater were all exposed to the eyes of the Ante soldiers on the second floor.

So the sound of gunfire like a storm rang out.

The Proson soldiers who had finally climbed up the breakwater were swept away from above.

At the same time, the enemy's firepower on the other side began to shoot at the second floor.

The firepower on both sides began to shoot across the Duva River.

Wang Zhong heard the sound of the 57mm anti-tank gun firing, and high-explosive shells were constantly fired at the west bank ferry.

The density of this firepower is much higher. The 57mm anti-tank gun group can fire a high rate of fire of one round every three seconds.

The fierce shooting of 12 anti-tank guns is more terrible than any heavy machine gun.

The enemy's pontoon bridge troops were wiped out in an instant.

Wang Zhong laughed: "Good! We defended this wave!"

He turned around and celebrated with others by clapping his hands.

Nellie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly shouted: "Rain, it's raining!"

On the afternoon of October 9, 1914, the rainy season came.

The line was successfully pressed!
