Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1176
Hadrian’s Wall.
This is the Great Wall built by the ancient Roman emperor Hadrian to resist foreign invasions. After years, this Great Wall, with only mounds left, has become the boundary between Scotland and England.
“Charge again! The Scots won’t be able to resist for long.”
Butrin in the trench on the south side of Hadrian’s Wall ordered another charge.
After Scotland declared independence, he sent his troops northward, and an army of 300,000 Englishmen encountered Scottish resistance at Hadrian’s Wall.
In order to defeat each other these days, both sides fought very tragically, but compared to the Scottish militias, most of the English soldiers are veterans on the battlefield. Coupled with the advantages in numbers, Butlin mastered the war in just two months. The initiative.
Facing the decreasing number of Scottish troops, he continued to charge, hoping to break through this line of defense and enter Scotland within three days.
It’s just that his expectations soon fell through. When the steel monster with military green paint swooped down from the Scottish Highlands, all the English soldiers were shocked by the scene before them.
“The army of the Empire has landed.”
Butlin said that although the coast was blocked by the Empire, this did not mean that Britain was completely cut off from the outside world.
It is not impossible to cross the English Channel covertly and alone, because of this, they still maintain intermittent contact with the European continent.
Through intelligence, he determined that the monster in front of him was an imperial tank, and Scotland had no ability to make such a machine.
“Swish swish…”
When the English soldiers were in panic, a formation of forty-two tanks stopped at the front of the Scottish position.
Then shells roared from behind the Scottish position, and when these shells fell on the English position, a huge explosion appeared.
The landing points of the shells were all exploded into huge craters. The soldiers hit by the shells were directly lifted into the air by the air waves, and their bodies were even torn apart.
But what frightened them even more was that they could not find the position of the enemy’s artillery within their visible range.
Scottish positions.
Lu Jun and Heinason were observing the English position on the south side of the Great Wall. After preparing the army, he immediately led the army into the battlefield.
After all, Falkland is only two hours’ drive from the battlefield.
“Hahaha, these **** English people should have been bombed enough.” Heinason smiled very happily.
Because of the range of the howitzer, their artillery was set up on a high ground, five kilometers away from the front line, and this also prevented the artillery from being attacked by the enemy.
In Lu Jun’s eyes, the howitzer shells fell like raindrops in the torrential rain in Pinghu, setting off one wave after another.
With every explosion, gunpowder and dust fly in the air, taking the lives of English soldiers.
Looking at this scene, Lu Jun pressed his lips tightly. With such a significant difference in weapon generation, England’s failure is doomed.
In this war, he did not want to waste too much time, so he ordered the tanks and infantry to advance after the carpet bombing of artillery.
Like the Austrian War, he got the command of the Scottish army after entering the battlefield, so now the Imperial army is only responsible for fire coverage, and the melee and fighting on the battlefield are carried out by the Scots themselves.
This determination Heinason did not refuse, for him it would be more meaningful for the Scots to defeat the English and then win.
“Boom boom boom…”
“Da da da”
A forward composed of forty-two tanks slowly advanced towards the English position. During the march, the tanks continued to shoot at important targets while the machine gunner poured bullets.
The Scottish soldiers followed the tank, and their position in the trenches was now occupied by the machine gunners and mortarers of the Empire.
The soldiers of the Empire will clear the roadblocks for them to advance.
…
English positions.
The dust that Butrin had shaken off his body got up from the trench, and then he saw the tank advancing and the Scottish soldiers following the tank.
He pulled up the adjutant lying in the trench to let him lead the English soldiers to prepare for a counterattack, but found that the bullet hole between the adjutant’s forehead was bleeding.
This scene reminded him of the battle of India. At that time, he was facing this kind of despair, but this time they had no retreat.
Shutting through the trenches, Butlin looked for alive soldiers to join the counterattack, but what shocked him was the casualties caused by the shelling.
The tank moved quickly, and the English soldiers had not organized an effective counterattack. At this time, the Scottish soldiers behind the tank rushed into the trench.
They took out hand grenades supported by the Empire and threw them into the trenches of the Englishmen, and jumped into the trenches with bayonet firing guns to fight the English soldiers.
The imperial tanks provided fire support to the Scots in front of the English positions, and the machine guns continued to sweep the area where the English resisted fiercely.
It’s just that the English people have a strong will to fight. Although many English people have died under the shelling, they are still fighting stubbornly against the Scots.
The first group of Scottish soldiers to attack was soon rushed back by the English soldiers who still had the advantage.
In the face of this situation, Lu Jun was very calm. The number of soldiers in England was almost three times that of Scottish soldiers. Even though the empires firepower was fierce, it could not kill so many enemies at once.
Therefore, such a recoil cannot be successful at one time, and it requires repeated consumption.
Heinason had already known Lu Jun’s plan in advance, so he was not furious about the failure of the first charge.
According to Lu Jun, the more impatient England is now, the less they can be anxious, because England’s current fragile economy may be dragged down by this war of attrition at any time.
On the contrary ~~ Scotland, which has the support of the empire, will receive a large number of food commodities from Africa, and is not afraid of consumption with England.
At the same time, in order to force England to surrender, Xie Yuan is leading the Marines to attack London. This is his and Lu Jun’s plan to attack the West.
Lu Jun is responsible for trapping Butrin on the front line, so that he can wipe out the English aristocracy.
“Shelling!”
Looking at the pocket watch, the Imperial warship outside London suddenly launched an attack on the London port. One after another, shells fell on the London dock, once again turning this place into a **** of fire.
Only when the citizens of London thought that the empire was just a routine bombing, they suddenly discovered that a series of landing craft were carrying soldiers towards the Port of London.
The London garrison who discovered this immediately concentrated on the port, but the Imperial soldiers quickly occupied the dock and constructed a defense system.
The machine gun burst into flames, and the bullets flew towards the British soldiers who had been continuously reinforced.
