Chapter 414 War
The veterans who participated in the battle said: "The armored forces guarding the defensive positions and the spearmen fought very tenaciously, but the tactical literacy they showed in the whole battle was far less than their bravery."
This group of defenders of Xingang did not inherit the glory of human beings in the first battle of Xingang. They slowly retreated from the devastated positions and slowly retreated into the range of Xingang city defense fortress guns.
Before the evening, after losing a large number of personnel and equipment, the troops of the Sword Empire had to retreat to the position where they set out in the morning. At this time, the orc troops were not in the mood to continue to attack north to achieve their goal of hitting the coast. They stopped attacking and dug trenches on the existing front to prepare for defense.
That night, the soldiers of the armored forces of the Sword Empire and the spearmen who fought side by side with them were lucky to enjoy the rations to reward them for their heroic fighting, and then they had a luxurious dinner with peanuts, fish and pickled beef.
These soldiers believed that they could resist the attacks of the orcs and buy enough time for the retreat of civilians in Newport. Although they were brave in fighting, they were like girls when they retreated. When they retreated to the vicinity of the Xingang city wall, the soldiers who had lost their comrades-in-arms and loved ones cried because they could not achieve their goals.
After a day of arduous battle, the huge maritime transport fleet of the Sword Empire successfully transported about 90,000 civilians from Xingang, most of whom were orc tribes that surrendered.
In the early morning of the next day, the sound of drums and horns sounded tirelessly. The huge troops of the Orc Empire still tried to occupy the new port, but they still returned without success under the tenacious resistance of the defenders of the Sword Empire. That night, more transport ships and warships came and transported more than 70,000 people away.
On this night, Maier, the commander-in-chief of Newport, personally commanded the remaining armored forces of the Holy Sword Empire to launch a night attack in Newport. More than 70 tanks launched a counterattack under the command of Colonel Mayer, followed by a battle intertwined with blood and fire.
The trajectory of the magic cannon and the burning torch illuminated the whole night sky. In the first stage, the firepower and armor of the tanks of the Sword Empire once again overwhelmed the Bimon Beast of the Orc Empire. 19 tanks successfully broke through the camp of the Orc Empire and crossed the fragile defense line of the Orc Empire.
But in the subsequent battle, the Orc Empire troops put in more Bimeng giant beasts and suddenly fought back against the armored forces of the Sword Empire that had lost their formation under the cover of night.
These huge monsters with long hair and not afraid of crossbows easily overturned 16 tanks of the Holy Sword Empire. Seeing that they could not be taken advantage of, Meyer reluctantly issued an order to stop the attack.
Then the tanks of the Sword Empire retreated within the range of the magic cannon on the walls of Xingang and calmly deployed the defensive position again.
However, after an inventory, 73 tanks participating in the night attack returned with only 39 left, and the young tankers who did not return drained their last drop of blood to defend their homes.
In the morning of the third day after the battle against Newport began, the Orc Empire began to gradually adapt to the style and rhythm of human play.
A large number of orc infantry cooperated with the Bimon beast to launch a fierce attack. These orc troops carefully approached the walls of Newport under the intensive fire of catapults and crossbow guns.
Facing the trench and the sea inside, the orcs cruelly pushed down the bodies of the soldiers of both sides to quickly fill these obstacles. Based on the experience gained by the Elf Forest, the Orc Empire no longer emphasized the formation and did not stay in place to reorganize the team, which effectively reduced the killing of the magic cannon.
They broke through with war beasts, and then used these huge bodies as bunkers to cover the orc infantry after the war beasts were hit by magic cannons.
Looking at the orc empire army rushing to Newport, all the orc generals believe that after this decisive battle, Newport will fall into their hands before noon, and the human debris behind the wall will be finished.
But for those defenders of the Newport of the Holy Sword Empire who have also learned to face the huge bodies of the soldiers of the Orc Empire, the victory or defeat is still unknown.
These human soldiers were inspired by the fierce attack of the Orc. They quietly lay on the wall that had been smashed by the projectors and watched the army of the Orc Empire get closer and closer. These human soldiers put the army of the Orc Empire at a very close distance before using The magic cannon opened fire violently.
This deadly play can eliminate all the leading Bimeng beasts, and many magic cannon positions even detonate shells, killing them with the swarming orc troops.
A stream of black smoke rose from the mouth of the magic guide gun that shot crazily, and the Bimeng beast pointed at the muzzle was immediately hit through, fell to the ground and kept struggling, and was killed by another magic guide shell explosion.
Before the orc infantry could disperse from around the Bemon beast, the hidden archers of the sword empire began to fire fiercely. At the same time, the mortars on the position of the spearmen also roared, and the explosions of "booming" came one after another.
The two sides fought another bloody day, and the result was that the orc empire suffered heavy losses, and the sword empire not only defended the main defensive positions, but also carried out a limited counterattack in some parts, recapiting part of the barbed wire area near the city wall.
In the face of the tenacious defense of the defenders of the Sword Empire, the Orc Empire was obviously at a loss. Once again, they wasted a precious day near the wall defense line of the Newport, and on this day, the Navy and transport fleet of the Sword Empire transported away 130,000 indigenous people from Newport.
By the fifth day of the Battle of Xingang, the total loss of personnel of the 304 Division reached 7153. They also have 17 tanks and 4 tank guns removed from tanks, a total of 31 armored reconnaissance vehicles, 71 trucks, and 57 magic cannons. The division commander of 304 Division was killed in battle, and the deputy division commander lost a leg and had been transported away by ship. Now the commander of this division is a regimental commander of the city defense army.
Even so, these soldiers who are convinced of the invincible black armor of the Holy Sword Empire still stick to the position that has become a pile of rubble. The wall has disappeared, and the two sides are fighting crazily in the streets and alleys of Xingang. Every building, every staircase, every room, and even every door will have a fierce battle because of ownership.
