Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 219

“Everything is under control.”

Looking at the temporarily retreating Enkelan army, Ackerman, the division commander of the second division, said with a smile that he was not affected by the retreat of his subordinates and the casualties that occurred.

Just like what he said before, in order to win, the necessary sacrifices are inevitable. Although he will feel distressed about the loss of his subordinates, he hopes that the Enkelans will work harder. Drive them away, recapture this depot behind him, and after that, he’ll be able to witness the most powerful explosion in history.

In addition to the black powder stored in the supply station, they also brought a batch of black powder from the rear to be buried together. The combined amount of these black powder is enough to support the two divisions in a large-scale battle. If it is detonated, it will explode. The power generated can blast the supply station and the surrounding hundreds of meters of land into the sky.

He thought to himself, and his eyes moved with the retreating Enklan army. Under his watch, the Enklan army retreated to the first line of defense to rearrange the formation. The officers among them were also dancing, as if It was to boost the morale of his subordinates, and at the same time, he also noticed that the enemy’s artillery was moving towards the position under the traction of the artillery cart.

It seems that the enemy is preparing to use artillery to close in on them to bombard them with fire support.

Behind the parapet of the second line of defense, the imperial soldiers were also loading their weapons. The soldiers who were withdrawn from the front were not deployed to the line of defense, but retreated to the supply station, relying on the concealed earth walls in the supply station for defense. Deployment, even if they are not ready to stick here, they still have to pretend and act enough.

About 20 minutes later, the Enklan army regrouped and launched the attack again. The artillery that had been pulled forward by them opened fire first, sounding the horn of the second attack.

With the support of their own artillery, the Enkland infantry once again formed a dense formation to advance forward. They did not use the grenadiers as the vanguard this time. The losses were heavy, so Lehmann deployed them in the last attacking echelon. This position can actually be called the exclusive use of the supervising team – after the officers could not prevent the soldiers from being defeated, the soldiers deployed in the back would take on the task of the supervising team. , to stop the rout from spreading by shooting at it.

It is usually impossible for ordinary soldiers to attack friendly forces, so generally the military police units in the army are basically deployed here.

The cannonballs fired by the Enkelans can produce 100% power on the chest-high parapet wall, which is only piled up with mud and sandbags. One cannonball can easily penetrate the bunkers that can only guard against rifle projectiles, thereby killing and injuring those hiding behind. Soldiers, under the bombardment of enemy artillery, the number of Imperial soldiers killed by the shells also began to slowly increase.

“Shoot! Free to fire!”

With the advancement of the Enkelan infantry, the gunfire on the position became fierce again. The choking smoke produced by the burning of gunpowder spewed from the muzzle, and gradually filled the position under the breeze. Each shot can kill dozens of enemies from the front, but the Enkelans did not waver at all driven by their interests. They stepped over the corpses and finally advanced to a distance of fifty meters.

Then came the counterattack of the Enkelans.

The distance of fifty meters is not long. It only takes a few seconds for a person to run at full speed to pass. The two sides fired at each other within this short distance. After the Enkelans fired three volleys, only Hearing a passionate attacking horn sounded behind them, the Enkelan soldiers seemed to have been beaten with blood, listening to the bayonet roaring and charging again.

Seeing that the enemy was charging, the soldiers of the Imperial Army hiding behind the parapet did not hesitate to follow the instructions before the battle and turned to flee. After hitting the ground, it bounced forward for tens of meters along the inertia, rubbing off the feet of several imperial soldiers, and the whole person felt empty under their feet, and flew out directly.

The damage caused by solid bullets is basically increased by ricochet. Even if part of the force is leaked by the ground, the remaining kinetic energy can still easily tear a person’s torso and limbs. If the soldiers of the Imperial Army do not receive systematic blessings With high morale, being chased by the furiously fighting enemies behind them, and threatened with ricocheting bullets from time to time, and seeing the torsos of their comrades being smashed into pieces, they have already fled in all directions.

“Let’s start retreating, and let the soldiers throw away their coins as they escape the supply station!”

Watching this scene of “defeats like a mountain”, Ackerman still kept calm and gave orders. His orders were quickly conveyed to the grassroots by the messengers. The soldiers who had been deployed in the internal defense of the supply station were leaning against the earth wall. In the back, aiming at the enemy chasing after the friendly army, while waving and shouting, he informed the retreating friendly army of the command from above.

After more and more friendly troops withdrew, they started shooting at the chasing enemy. After shooting out the bullets in their rifles, they didn’t want to fight. They turned around and ran away together, taking out the coins in their pockets while running. Come out and throw it hard behind you.

The Enkelans who were chasing thought at first that the enemy was throwing some hidden weapons at them, and they hurried to dodge, but after seeing that they were throwing silver coins with white flowers, their footsteps suddenly slowed down. Lean over to loot the silver coins dropped by the enemy.

As a result, the entire supply station was thrown into chaos. One side desperately retreated, while the other side pursued, but was attracted by the silver coins thrown by the enemy, and turned to scramble for the silver coins, blocking the action of the chasing team~www.mtlnovel.com ~In such a chaotic situation, no one noticed that a few low-key imperial soldiers got into the tunnel, blocked the exit from the inside, and observed the enemy overhead through some small traps left earlier.

They were not in a hurry to detonate the gunpowder immediately, they were waiting, and when more Enkelan soldiers entered the supply depot, they would not hesitate to detonate the gunpowder and die with the enemy.

On their heads, the silver coins thrown by the imperial soldiers before retreating played a role, and successfully disrupted the pursuit plan of the Enkelan soldiers. They looked at the coins on the ground, and did not care about why the enemy dropped so many coins. Now, they all mixed up and pouted their butts to pick up money, and some even fought directly, almost developing into a full-fledged martial arts.

When Lehman brought a group of officers into the supply station, he saw such a **** picture. He angrily looked at the generals beside him. The soldiers closest to them, beating and cursing, ordered them to assemble and form.

Seeing that the generals were all coming, the soldiers didn’t bother to pick up the money, they stood up quickly and went to find their respective teams.

No one realized that they were about to be in a disaster.
