Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The soldiers of the Hans Empire began to attack Zijinhua's position along the dense forests on both sides of the railway.

Since the Gallic Empire could be said to be well prepared, and they could only rely on the trees on both sides of the railway as bunkers, the soldiers of the Imperial Division actually did not advance very fast.

An additional point here is that in such a dense forest environment, it is actually unrealistic to build trenches like those in plain areas.

The main reason is that there are many trees in the dense forest, and it takes a long time to build a strip-shaped position.

Manfrey did not give them so much time at all, so the defense line of the Purple Flower Infantry Division is still full of foxholes.

Basically, there are about four to five soldiers in a pit.

Although it seems like there are very few people in each hole, in fact, such foxholes can actually control a wider area.

In terms of firepower, it is not lacking either.

If you have to find a bad place for such a foxhole, it may be that it cannot be moved casually.

Once a hole is occupied by the enemy, it will be difficult for people from other places to rush over to support it. This will allow the enemy to counterattack with the help of potholes as well.

For example, now, after paying a certain price, the soldiers of the Imperial Division finally approached the outermost foxhole.

At this time, it is not so easy to continue to move forward.

So, when the Imperial Division came here, they took out the grenade launchers issued to them.

A grenade was stuffed into the grenade barrel, aimed at a foxhole in front, and a grenade was fired directly.

The grenade flew high and then landed on the edge of the crater.

The Purple Flower soldiers were still shooting when they suddenly saw something unknown falling directly to the edge of their hole. Out of instinct, all the soldiers in the hole retracted their heads.

"Boom~"

There was an explosion, and a large amount of soil was blown into the sky, and then fell on them.

Because when the grenade is fired, there is only a "bang bang" sound, which is not much louder than the sound of ordinary gunfire. In this chaotic battlefield, it is easy to ignore.

If a soldier hadn't happened to see the grenade falling next to them, it was very likely that they would have been killed by the grenade at this moment.

The Imperial Division soldier on the other side saw that the first grenade he fired did not hit the hole, so he quickly took out another grenade from his back.

After removing the safety, it was inserted into the grenade barrel again.

"Bang~" There was another crisp sound, and the grenade flew high again and fell into the hole.

At this time, the soldiers of the Purple Flower Division, who had just recovered, saw another grenade falling towards them.

And look at the impact point, which is the hole where I am.

The soldiers of the Purple Flower Division who were hiding in the pit quickly climbed out of the pit, trying to escape.

When they climbed out of the hole, they did not choose to stand up straight. Instead, they lay on the ground and used their elbows to move their bodies.

At this time, it would be the most unwise choice to stand up and run.

After all, both sides are shooting non-stop. If you stand up at this time, you will be a living target.

"Boom~"

This time, the grenade fell directly into the pit, blowing up all the lunch boxes and other things left by the soldiers in the pit.

At the same time, a large amount of soil fell on them.

On the other side, seeing that they had successfully driven away the enemy troops in a pit, the soldiers of the Imperial Division wanted to rush over and occupy the pit.

So two soldiers crouched forward to snatch the hole.

But the soldiers from the previous hole have not crawled far yet. Seeing the two Imperial Division soldiers rushing up, they raised their guns and started shooting.

The bullet hit the two soldiers in the chest, and they fell to the ground before they could make any sound.

However, the shooting also revealed their location, and then there was a hail of bullets from the Imperial Division. In an instant, two Zijinhua soldiers were shot.

On the battlefield, that's it.

Maybe one second, you successfully killed your enemy, but the next second, you will also be killed by the enemy.

Although the Imperial Division is advancing slowly in the dense forest, it is still advancing steadily on the whole.

The three infantry divisions began to squeeze the living space of the middlemost Purple Flower Infantry Division from three different directions. Being surrounded like this, Ollie suddenly felt the pressure.

Without the participation of the Imperial Division, Ollie felt that he could still handle it. But now the Imperial Division is advancing the fastest.

Orly reported to Admiral Rabe, who was responsible for the general defense of the Marne, hoping that he would provide him with resources.

And Oli proposed to Rabe that he was willing to serve as a bait in the middle to attract the attention of the Hans Empire. Then Rabe could send several divisions to surround the four Hans Empire forces that broke into the west bank of the Marne River.

In particular, if the Imperial Division can be eliminated in turn, it will be of great help to the entire war situation.

But now Admiral Rabe has too much time to take care of himself.

Originally, the Allied soldiers stationed at the Marne River defense line were fewer than those of the Hans Empire. The troops in his hands were not enough, and there were no extra troops to mobilize to surround the imperial division.

In the words of General Rabe, if an imperial division breaks into the hinterland of the Gallic Empire, at most it will cause a certain amount of chaos on its own side.

If the entire Marne River defense line fell because of the deployment of troops to eliminate the Imperial Division, then it would not be as simple as chaos.

It is very likely to cause the collapse of the entire empire.

Which is right or wrong, actually it’s really hard to say.

Was Ollie at fault? No, he just felt that now was the best opportunity to eliminate the Imperial Division. He had now found out clearly that only these four divisions had broken into the west bank of the Marne River.

If these four divisions are eliminated, first of all, there will be no enemies within the empire, and the backup materials can be smoothly transported to the front line.

Moreover, the elimination of the Imperial Division, one of the most elite troops of the Hans Empire, would be a morale boost for the Gallic Empire and a blow to the Hans Empire.

General Rabe is considering the security of the entire line of defense.

To put it bluntly, the reason for all this was the misjudgment of the Imperial High Command, which misjudged the direction of the Hans Empire's attack and sent the main force of the Allied Powers to the Somme River.

This resulted in insufficient backup forces on the Marne River side.

It will take at least some time to change this situation and dispatch troops from the Somme.

However, Admiral Rabe did not do everything right. He directly told Oli that he could retreat first if the conditions were unfavorable.

Oli received a reply from Admiral Rabe, but it was a wry smile on his face.

retreat? Where to retreat? Now he was surrounded by four divisions of Hans Empire troops.

Can they make themselves withdraw?

The only way now is to stay in place and hold on until reinforcements arrive from the rear.

As for the Marne River defense line, don't even think about it.
