[Chapter 1026 Artillery Battle]

Battle “Boom boom boom…”

Shells fell from the sky one after another and exploded on the trench fortifications of the Western Land Alliance Army.

A shell fell on the surface of the trench, and the flames rose up. The shock wave lifted the soil into the air, scattered it, and left a crater with smoke.

Shells also fell into the trench, and the violent explosion instantly killed seven or eight coalition soldiers. Blood and mutilated flesh flew into the sky, and then fell like raindrops. The soil on both sides of the trench also collapsed, burying half of the trench.

“God bless, God bless…”

During the shelling, all the coalition soldiers squatted against the trenches, and many soldiers kept praying.

Some soldiers trembled and their minds went blank.

They have fought against native armies all over the world, and those native armies are completely vulnerable to them.

Every war is more like a one-sided massacre.

That’s why they are so proud.

In their hearts, the army of Xitu is invincible.

Before the Dasong army launched an attack, although they knew that the Dasong army was different from other indigenous armies, they were still proud.

To them, the Dasong people are nothing more than similar to the aborigines of the New World, the Pyuman and Cochin people of the East.

It was not until the shells fell on their positions that they finally found out that they were wrong.

Now they are at war with a formidable army.

“Damn it, we can’t reach their artillery positions at all.”

Wesley roared angrily and feebly when his fortifications were shelled.

When he discovered that the artillerymen of the Dasong Army had placed the artillery six miles away, he felt a little bad.

Sure enough, his premonition came true.

The artillery of the Great Song Army bombarded them from six miles away.

This is not what shocked him the most.

Their rifled guns can also shoot this far, although the power will be much attenuated at this distance.

What he couldn’t accept was that the shells that fell on their positions were fired by howitzers.

At present, Xitu has also developed howitzers on the basis of mortars, and the shells are also flowering shells.

But the range of their howitzers is only about 900 meters, the gap is too big.

In war, this meant that the opponent’s artillery could bombard their artillery positions wantonly, and they would only be bombed in vain.

This feeling that he can only be beaten and cannot fight back makes him very aggrieved.

“Order field artillery to bombard their artillery positions, howitzers to bomb their trenches, we have to do something.” Wesley said, although he knew that his counterattack would be weak, but if nothing was done, the coalition soldiers’ Morale will be even lower.

When his order was issued, the fort on the trench of the coalition army roared, and the field artillery fired solid projectiles at the artillery position of the Dasong army.

At the same time, one after another was fired by the howitzer and fell into the trench of the Dasong army.

“Boom boom boom…” In

an instant, fires appeared in the trenches of the Dasong army.

It’s just that compared to the shelling density suffered by the coalition forces, their shelling seems sparse, just like the difference between heavy rain and moderate rain.

Because they didn’t realize the horror of Dasong’s army, they didn’t carry enough howitzers and field artillery to support Dongtu this time.

at the same time.

Qin Shan and Guan Tong were also watching the battlefield.

They smiled disdainfully when they saw the artillery of the Western Turkmenistan Allied Forces start to fight back.

Although their artillery positions are not as luxurious as those of the Western Turks, the sandbags protecting the artillery are enough to resist the opponent’s solid bullets.

As for the opponent’s howitzers, they can’t hurt their soldiers.

For the next few days, they would continue shelling, with no plans for soldiers to attack.

Therefore, Dasong soldiers stayed in the depths of the trench.

“The range of their howitzers is far from ours, and this artillery battle has already fallen into a disadvantage.” Guan Tong said with his arms folded.

They knew that the natives also had howitzers, but they didn’t know their range or power.

Now the opponent counterattacked, and it was exposed at once.

“Even if the firing range is short, it will become an obstacle for the soldiers to charge. It is best to destroy them in this artillery battle.” Qin Shan said, “Let the rifled guns pull out their forts one by one.”

“Yes.” Tong turned and went.

This time, in the battle on the north side of Malacca, Qin Shan was the main general, and Guan Tong was the deputy general.

The command is passed on.

The artillerymen in charge of the rifled guns began to load and fire.

After the howitzers were fired, they waited for orders.

This howitzer is good at dealing with the enemy in the trenches, but when it comes to destroying the opponent’s fortifications, you still have to count on their rifled artillery.

They knew that they were about to play.

“Boom boom boom…” Not long after, a rifled gun spit out flames.

The conical shells flew straight to the forts on the coalition fortifications.

Unlike the position of howitzers, rifled artillery is scattered throughout the battlefield, like skirmishers.

They are also very close to the positions of the Western Turks, only about three miles away.

At this distance, they can play more accurately.

Of course, due to the short distance, it is also more dangerous.

However, they fired open-ended bullets, and the opponent fired solid bullets.

In comparison, the opponent still suffers.

What’s more, the opponent is still under the baptism of howitzers, and it is impossible to concentrate on shooting at them.

One hundred and twenty field rifled guns fired one after another, and under the high-density shooting, the forts on the coalition fortifications were continuously shot.

Although the violent explosion could not destroy the fort at once, the fragments and concussions produced by the explosion effectively disturbed the artillery of the Western-Turkish Allied Forces, causing the enemy’s artillery fire to be suppressed immediately.

Wesley noticed this quickly, and his heart grew heavier.

But he could only watch it happen.

The number of their artillery is insufficient, and it is already very difficult to bombard and interfere with the opponent’s howitzer positions, and they are simply unable to attack the opponent’s army’s field rifled guns.

However, his desperation had only just begun.

At this moment, a general suddenly pointed to the sea and screamed, “Admiral, Da Song’s fleet is approaching the shore.”

Wesley hurriedly looked over, and it was true.

The original complete Great Song fleet is being divided into two at the moment.

Thirty sailing warships and fifteen steamships each formed a team and came to their positions.

Not long after, they stopped six miles from the coast.

The sailing warship turned its side on them.

“God!” Wesley could hardly stand still.

Rao has faced many powerful enemies in his previous wars in the West.

But it was the first time he felt so powerless.

It was also the first time that they faced an enemy who was superior to them in terms of guns and artillery.

Now, he could finally feel the despair of the native army when they faced them.

In this war, he became the bullied side.

It’s just that he doesn’t have much time to think.

There was a flash of fire on the surface of the sea, and it seemed that a dark cloud was flying over at a high speed.

More than two thousand shells instantly covered their trench fortifications.
