Port defense battle

​​

Lin Rui's troops deployed in Bonifacio finally moved. Those Anmore troops from Bonifacio launched a very violent attack in order to rescue the coastal fortresses.

​​

As soon as they came up, they constantly relied on violent artillery fire to bombard the defensive positions of the Orumi Federation army.

​​

They have no shortage of heavy weapons, and their rocket battalions and Avengers cannons make the Oromi Federation army's position precarious. Many local trenches were completely filled up by rocket fire.

​​

Being able to dispatch thousands of people to attack the coastal fortresses is already the limit of what General Yves can do at present. If he cannot conquer the coastal fortresses tomorrow, he must ask the Red Baron to dispatch reinforcements.

​​

At the same time that the Orumi Federal Army attacked the coastal fortresses, the commanders of all levels of the Anmor army did not rest in the coastal fortresses.

​​

Hodgson spent the night checking the readiness to soothe the residents of Ellesmere Port. Hundreds of people died, many of the women wept terribly, and a few apparently lost their nerves.

​​

The officers under his command were checking combat readiness all night, urging Yucheng residents and militiamen to repair damaged fortifications overnight. The quality of these emergency repair works is indeed not very good, but it is better than nothing.

​​

Some officers personally checked every firepower point and ammunition reserve, and at the same time arranged a patrol route for tomorrow, focusing on searching for the dynamics of the Orumi Federal Army in the periphery.

​​

Both sides are sparing no effort to prepare for a more brutal battle.

​​

By the next morning, just before dawn, the reconnaissance troops of the mercenaries had already penetrated into the enemy's position. This time, however, Lincoln immediately realized that something was wrong.

​​

It turned out that the Orumi Federation army dispersed their artillery, fighting each other, and pressing towards the coastal fortresses from multiple directions. The two mechanized infantry regiments of the Orumi Federal Army also entered the battle, and they fought each other, and the distance between them was very wide.

​​

In this way, although the firepower is widely dispersed, it is also very difficult for the rocket launchers on Anmor's side to carry out precise strikes.

​​

After all, rocket launchers rely on firepower coverage to create ranged damage, and the hit rate of a single launch is really not high. If this one can be bombed, but that one cannot be bombed, there will definitely be some artillery pieces of the Orumi Federation Army that can enter the firing array to bomb the coastal fortresses.

​​

Under the cover of these cannon howitzers fighting each other, Orumi Federation soldiers formed more than a dozen columns, approaching the coastal fortress from multiple directions. Facing the Oromi Federation soldiers coming from all directions, a heavy artillery battalion providing cover for the coastal fortresses must be too busy. The **** Orume Federation army is indeed very cunning. In desperation, Lincoln had no choice but to report the situation. Lin Rui.

​​

"It's interesting! These cunning guys! But this also shows that General Yves is very eager to take down the coastal fortresses," Lin Rui sneered and ordered the heavy artillery battalion to attack in advance. Most of his heavy artillery battalion is rocket artillery, and there are also a small number of large-caliber cannon howitzers, but the biggest flaw is that the number is still too small to deal with so many Oromi federal troops at the same time. And they must buy time for Hodgson as much as possible.

​​

"Damn it!" Hodgson learned all this from the information he received, and couldn't help scolding. General Yves is indeed an experienced commander. After suffering a loss, they immediately took advantage of the Anmor army.

​​

Because in the usual conception, artillerymen shoot in groups, who would have thought that they would actually be scattered and fight each other? This bastard!

​​

"Go on the order and prepare to defend against artillery." Hodgson said calmly.

​​

The current situation is not good for them.

​​

No matter how shrewd Hodgson is, or how brave and skilled Lin Rui's heavy artillery battalion is, after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

​​

The heavy artillery of the Anmore Army will definitely not be able to eliminate the completely dispersed Orume Federal Army artillery in a short period of time, and they will certainly have a considerable amount of time to bomb Ellesmere Port.

​​

Although the coastal fortress of the Anmor army may not be shaken in a short period of time, Ellesmere Port cannot.

​​

Although the coastal fortress is in Ellesmere Port, the fortifications of Ellesmere Port itself cannot exceed the strength of military facilities. Residential houses in the interior of the port city are also fragile brick and tile houses, which cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery shells. Civilian casualties will spiral out of control.

​​

Hodgson could only watch helplessly as the Oromi Federation Army approached step by step. Those cunning infantrymen, under the cover of light armor, still adopted a Z-shaped marching route, giving the Anmore army a chance to block them.

​​

Around these armors, there are also a large number of Orumi Federation soldiers shooting guns to prevent the Anmor army from blocking them.

​​

Although the smoothbore guns on the light armor are not as powerful as the cannon howitzers, they can still cause damage to the solid fortifications of the Anmor army at a distance of four or five hundred meters.

​​

In this way, the defenders of the outer positions of Anmore would have to approach the battle if they wanted to destroy these armors with bazooka. If you get close, you will be killed first.

​​

However, the light armor of the Orumi Federation army is mobile, and it is very difficult to target and destroy them at too long distances. What's more abhorrent is that Anmor's army does not carry many anti-tank rockets, so they cannot be wasted casually.

​​

So, the Orumi Federation army gradually approached the position, but Anmor-kun had no good way to deal with them.

​​

Gradually, the light armor of the Orumi Federation army entered the range and began to attack the ground. At the same time, almost all the Olumi Federation army cannon howitzers were deployed at the same time, making Anmore's heavy artillery battalion unable to take into account at the same time, and only a part of them could be selected as targets.

​​

Boom... One round of bombing came down, but the effect was not very good. The first round of ground bombing only destroyed one cannon howitzer.

​​

The main reason is that the cannon howitzers of the Orumi Federation Army are too scattered, which seriously affects the shooting of the rocket artillery with its own accuracy. In addition, there is a more terrible problem is the smoke. The Oromi federal troops released smoke bombs around their respective cannons, producing a lot of smoke. The smoke floated into the air and was then blown away by the breeze, which also affected the observation accuracy of artillery reconnaissance to a certain extent.

​​

Obviously, they had intensive training last night and came up with many ways to deal with the Anmor army.

​​

Indeed, these methods have all had a certain effect, especially the diffuse smoke. Although it caused a lot of trouble for the Orumi Federation Army's own artillery, it seemed that the confusion to the Anmor Army was even greater.

​​

General Hodgson was anxious and angry, and took his adjutant to the observation station in person, only to find a white field in the distance. It takes a lot of care to discover the existence of the enemy.

​​

What's more troublesome is that the enemy's light armor is also raiding through the smoke.

​​

bang bang bang...

Part of the Orumi Federation armor that was already approaching began to fire, and artillery shells fell sporadically around the position.

​​

Also because of the smoke, there is no uniform firing data, and these light armors are obviously not effective when firing. Most of the shells missed, and some even landed about a thousand meters away from the position.

​​

However, after the first round of test firing, they corrected the firing data, and the degree of deviation of the shells was much reduced. Of course they are getting closer.

​​

bang bang bang...

​​

The cannonballs of the Olumi Federation Army's cannon howitzers were basically hit, because they were targeting the civilian buildings in Ellesmere Port, and the landing points of the cannonballs from different directions were different.

​​

Although the damage to the fortresses along the coast was limited, it caused huge damage to various locations in Ellesmere Port. Contiguous houses were blown up, and bricks, tiles, and debris were everywhere.

​​

Naturally, the residents of the nearby Ellesmere Port were severely injured, and the cries and screams suddenly became chaotic.

​​

Civilians are different from soldiers. Their ability to withstand war is very poor. After some people were shelled, they fell into a state of hysterical panic, running around and screaming constantly.

​​

Panic is contagious, and the panic behavior of this small number of residents has caused even greater panic.

​​

Many local residents have forgotten the previous instructions of the Anmor army not to hide in the house when the enemy is shelling, but they habitually choose the house to avoid the artillery fire.

​​

As a result, an artillery shell often exploded into a brick house, causing more casualties, and many people were directly buried alive.

​​

The more people died, the more panic the surviving people became, and the more wrong the measures were taken. General Hodgson, seeing their tragic situation, had no choice but to sigh helplessly.

​​

In order to avoid riots in the city, General Hodgson must also allocate part of his troops to maintain law and order.

​​

The original local police force was completely unreliable at this time, and could only implement tough wartime military control.

​​

Although the strategic location of Ellesmere Port is important, it is a battleground for military strategists, and the war seems to have never ended.

​​

However, the previous battlefields were basically concentrated in places like Pinestone Town and Myrto. For the residents under the protection of the fortress group on the north bank of the Kem River, they had been far away from the war for a long time. At this time, the fire of war suddenly came, and they were not prepared accordingly. Perhaps, they did not accept the test of war well.

​​

The outer positions held by the Anmor army were not lightly damaged.

​​

A large gap appeared in the annular battlefield on the right. Most of the five or six Anmor soldiers and several militiamen carrying ammunition on the edge of the gap died. Stopped halfway through.

​​

Everyone knows that those light armors have great lethality, and they do too much damage to the peripheral positions.

​​

"Damn it!" General Hodgson wanted to take his weapon and go to the front line, but in the end he had to lie tightly on the protective wall of the bunker, staring at the enemy's movements with fiery eyes. At this time, only the heavy artillery battalion can kill the enemy, but General Hodgson is now very dissatisfied with their performance.

​​

The attack continues.

​​

As if in order to shoot the most shells in the shortest time, the artillerymen of the Orumi Federation Army went crazy and smashed the shells viciously. There were not many shells that directly hit the fortress buildings, and more shells fell in the city and exploded. A circle of dense air waves.

​​

Just the shock wave of the explosion can raze a large area of ​​houses to the ground. After dozens of ground artillery shells fell, the casualties of Ellesmere Port residents skyrocketed, and the Anmore Army also lost a lot of people.

​​

Witnessing the bombardment of Ellesmere Port, the morale of the Orumi Federation Army soldiers who participated in the attack was boosted, and it seemed that they even sped up their charge.

​​

In brutal wars, morale is very important and very delicate. With the support of their own artillery and the cover of light armor, the Orumi Federation soldiers swept away the frustration that they were unable to lift their heads under the fire of the Anmor army yesterday. He shouted excitedly and launched an attack on the outer positions. On the contrary, Anmore's defenders, after being bombed, also seemed to be in a rage, eager to immediately confront the enemy soldiers and take revenge.

​​

At this time, Lin Rui's artillery finally took down the enemy's three artillery pieces, which to a certain extent dampened the arrogance of the Orumi Federation artillery.

​​

However, other cannon howitzers continued to wreak havoc, and several rocket artillery vehicles moved slowly, looking for targets that could be bombed. The smoke is full of gunpowder below, and it is difficult for the reconnaissance troops to accurately locate the target. However, the Oromi Federation Army artillery that is being fired will show a large group of firelight. If the reconnaissance troops look carefully, they can still identify the target. The goal seems to be more obvious.

​​

rumbling...

​​

Three more enemy cannon howitzers were successfully blown up after a series of deafening explosions from the rocket cover fire.

​​

However, during this period, several rounds of artillery shells have landed on Ellesmere Port, causing great damage to the urban area of ​​Ellesmere Port~www.readwn.com~ The southeast and southwest of the outer position Several locations were bombed and collapsed. Two huge gaps were exposed, both about twenty meters wide and less than two meters high. After the collapse, a **** was formed, and countless Orumi Federation soldiers suddenly surged, shouting excitedly and rushing towards these collapsed gaps.

​​

General Yves also quickly got the news. He learned that his men had opened two gaps in the outer positions, and immediately issued a resolute attack order.

​​

He promised that whoever succeeded in rushing into the breach and occupying the enemy's position would be promoted to three levels in a row, and he would be rewarded.

​​

He knew that his subordinates were all extreme militants who had been brainwashed and educated, and they would work hard if they were rewarded. Sure enough, those Orumi Federation troops felt that there was an opportunity, and immediately swarmed up.

​​

Hodgson also acted decisively, mobilizing most of the machine guns and personnel to block the two gaps. At the same time, more troops were mobilized to reinforce the gaps, and mortars also focused on blocking these two gaps.

​​

He himself went to the most dangerous position to command the battle.

​​

After all, some soldiers of the Anmore Army had fought bad battles in the South Bank position, and they were used to such dangerous scenes, so they didn't feel anything. Those militiamen who were temporarily incorporated into the battle sequence began to feel a little unbearable. Facing the overwhelming Orumi Federation army, many of them were pale, as if they felt that disaster was imminent.
