8pm.
The artillery fire that lasted for 10 minutes finally stopped, and the entire Sekma town fell into a brief calm.
A minute later, the bustle started again.
Countless demining bombs scattered beans to destroy the remaining trigger mines.
Then dozens of tanks advanced side by side, leading countless heavily armed Alliance soldiers to charge from two fronts and one from the south.
8:10 p.m.
The alliance advanced to 1 kilometer, and the high-temperature wrecker armored vehicle directly cut off two simple barbed wire fences.
The remote-controlled rolling mine car opened several channels and became a relatively safe attack path.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All 30 main battle tanks on the Alliance side adjusted their angles during the journey, aimed at the exposed part of the dark window passage on the hill, and fired armor-piercing howitzers, shooting through several large holes in the dark window passage in the western section of the north.
Fortunately, there was no one inside, and all personnel were concentrated in the eastern section, otherwise the losses would have been too great.
The southern section of the dark window passage was also unguarded, and was all concentrated at the connection with the rock wall to the east, thus escaping a disaster.
boom! boom! boom!
The 80 mountain artillery pieces on the Alliance side fired another fierce bombardment at the dozens of State Y special forces who poured out of the passage and ran toward the trenches. The enemy was thrown off his back, unable to fight back.
However, for heavily armed special forces, as long as no vital points are injured, they can still continue fighting with a simple bandage.
8:20pm.
The alliance attacked troops from three sides, starting from the outer barbed wire fence, and launched a charge in unison.
boom! boom! boom!
Country Y finally launched the first round of attacks.
Nearly a hundred remaining remote-controlled wired mines were detonated in the west of Sekma Town, the west and south of the hill, destroying five tanks and causing the first wave of damage.
At the same time, the four remaining laser cannons and laser cannons were assembled as quickly as possible and dragged to the south dark window passage.
The most elite special forces, as well as a total of 15 snipers, 5 combat robots, and 5 armor-piercing gunners, all swarmed from the east connection to the south passage, attacking 10 main battle tanks and nearly a thousand alliance soldiers. Fight to the death.
The first round of concentrated fire by 5 combat robots and 5 armor-piercing gunners pierced the fuel tanks of 10 main battle tanks. Through the chain reaction caused by the detonation, a second wave of damage was caused, which severely dealt a blow to the opponent's arrogance. arrogance.
Without the armor-piercing howitzer, the bombing of the mountain cannon cannot penetrate the dark window bunker. For the time being, it can safely block the enemies climbing up the mountainside.
Shaher boldly hid dozens of sealed gasoline barrels in the connecting channel of the rock wall, took advantage of the temporary pause of the mountain cannon, and threw them out through the dark window.
Soldiers from both sides hit the target intentionally or unintentionally, and now the sea of fire spread, dragging hundreds of alliance soldiers into hell on earth, and burned to ashes in the high temperature, causing a third wave of damage.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The four laser cannons and laser cannons unleashed their power for the first time. Within the four death haloes, dozens of Alliance soldiers evaporated water from the inside out, and soon turned into cooked ducks, charred!
Shaher placed all his most precise strike forces in the south, intending to hold one side and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, and try to delay the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
At this point, the southern garrison relied on its own strength and the generous gambling of gasoline barrels to successfully stabilize its position and firmly control the southern position.
There are three solid exits in the central and northern areas of Sekma Town.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, nearly 200 of the tunnel troops on standby from Country Y rushed out and dispersed to the west to block the enemy.
Seeing nearly a thousand Alliance soldiers rushing towards them like a tide, they immediately retreated while fighting and gradually approached the exit. However, they did not retreat into the tunnel, but continued to retreat eastward.
Union soldiers tried to seize three exits, but were met with remote-controlled landmine explosions, which blocked the enemy's fierce resistance. After the gasoline tank exploded and formed a sea of inferno, they temporarily gave up this plan and instead stormed the town defenders.
The special forces of State Y guarding the west side of the hill, with magazines all over their bodies and two circles of grenades around their waists, dodged between artillery pits and threw bombs down the hill as if for free, trying their best to block more than a dozen upward firing lines.
8:30pm.
The Alliance side was responsible for attacking nearly 2,500 troops on the west and south sides of the hill. The rest of Zurich's troops were all responsible for the main attack. Under the cover of artillery fire, they relied on their numerical advantage to launch several rounds of attacks.
After half an hour of fighting, there were gains and losses.
The southern part of the hill suffered a heavy setback, losing all 10 main battle tanks and suffering heavy casualties, making it unable to launch another decent offensive.
In the west of the hill, some soldiers had already survived the mine explosion and the grenade offensive of the Y country's special forces, and reached the middle of the mountain under the cover of various firepower including eight main battle tanks.
The closest distance is less than 15 meters, so taking the west side won't be a problem.
Once the west side is occupied, we can attack from the top of the mountain in the other three directions from a high position and eliminate the defenders of Country Y. ????????????????
The 1,500 Alliance soldiers responsible for attacking the streets of the small town of Sekma made the smoothest progress. They quickly occupied most of the area and were compressing the few remaining isolated defenders eastward.
Nine main battle tanks stayed in the open space to the west of the town, targeting the three exit channels that were temporarily uncontrollable, and carried out devastating strikes, paving the way for the complete occupation of the town.
One of the alliance soldiers turned south and launched an attack to the north of the hill, trying to cooperate with the rest of Zurich's troops to capture the hill as soon as possible and regain control of the ground.
On the eastern section of the north side of the hill, the remaining dozens of special forces defenders quickly mobilized to meet the Alliance soldiers rushing across the river from the bottom of the hill, and fought and retreated towards the top of the mountain.
8:36 p.m.
In the warehouse complex to the east of the dividing line, State Y scouts used infrared telescopes to transmit the footage to the headquarters in the tunnel through wired telephones.
Seeing that the situation was dangerous and the situation had reached its most critical moment, Major General Shaher issued an order for help without hesitation.
Shhhhhhhhhh!
Five flute flares of different colors quickly rose into the sky to form a colorful aerial fireworks.
Its opening prompts the battle to enter a new counterattack stage.
Shaher ambushed 20 mountain cannons on the east side of the hill and fired hard at the Union soldiers coming from the side of the town.
Within 5 minutes, all the shells were dumped.
Then abandon the position and attack south as quickly as possible to support the southern defenders with the intention of repelling or destroying the southward enemies.
There were only a few dozen wounded soldiers left in the town's street garrison, and they had all retreated to the last building in the eastern suburbs. They relied on the strong fortifications they had built in advance to resist and survive.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 20 main battle tanks of Country Y's array warehouse complex, and the specially lethal light-armed howitzers, accurately hit the ground on the last street in the eastern suburbs of the town, blocking the progress of the alliance soldiers.
boom! boom! boom!
Country Y's 30 mountain cannons placed in fortified villages immediately adjusted their angles and fired in the direction of the two positions of the Alliance's mountain artillery groups in an attempt to weaken the Alliance's support.
"No, the other side may be shelling, retreat quickly!"
When the attacking alliance officers saw the signal flare rising into the sky, they thought that Country Y was going to launch long-range artillery fire, and quickly retreated to the rear.
"Be careful, it's a scam. If you stay here, you'll die. Run away."
The Union soldiers who retreated desperately encountered a frantic counterattack. "Come on, destroy them!"
clatter! clatter! clatter!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Taking advantage of the opponent's reckless escape, a large number of Y country defenders suddenly poured out of the two newly opened exit channels in the small town streets. They pursued the enemy closely for a while. Before the enemy's mountain artillery arrived, they hurriedly rushed to the west and north sides of the small Shanxi to provide support. The special forces suffered heavy casualties and were unable to support themselves.
To the south of the hill, the remnants of Zurich's army, which had already suffered more than half of their casualties, were frightened and suffered serious losses in their panic. They had to retreat to the west, declaring the southern battle a failure.
8:46 p.m.
"Maybe it was a trap and we fell for it."
Retreating to the outside of the barbed wire fence, Union officers found no signs of artillery fire and began to realize that they might have been caught in a delaying maneuver.
"If you wait a little longer, the shells might land."
Some commanders were still worried and wanted to see the situation before talking.
"First bombard, then organize a charge."
The supreme commander of the on-site alliance made the final decision after soliciting opinions from the left and right.
Colonel Libera took advantage of this rare opportunity to temporarily add two small tasks while implementing Major General Shaher's overall strategy:
First, let the nearly 200 people who had just gone out to support the hill carry smoke bombs to create a sea of fog between the town and the hill.
Keep the enemy guessing their intentions and slow down their attack time.
This move was indeed miraculous. The alliance commander looked at the mist town of Yanshan Mountain, fearing that something was wrong, and did not dare to attack rashly for a while, so he had to order the artillery attack first and then charge.
Second, drop hundreds of time bombs that last for 15-25 minutes on the streets of small towns and on the west side of hills, and then quickly hide in tunnels with broken blind windows despite the hail of bullets.
Although this move took place a little late in the evening, it was still effective in the end and cost the Alliance soldiers a lot.
8:55pm.
After a round of indiscriminate bombardment, the Alliance side's five-minute shelling stopped.
Under the orders of their commanders, the Union soldiers carefully entered the position where the smoke gradually dissipated and advanced cautiously.
During the process, a soldier crossing the central area of the town accidentally encountered a heavy object. When he grabbed it and looked at it, he was immediately frightened and screamed in fright.
"30 seconds! Time bomb, run!"
The guy looked around and saw that there were people in front, back, left and right, so he had no choice but to leave him on the spot and run back without his life, constantly reminding his companions who were following him.
His scream was particularly harsh in a small town where gunshots were sparse.
The Union soldiers knew something was wrong in their ears and immediately turned around and ran away, faster than a rabbit.
The other side of the hill was not so lucky. The attacking soldiers were still in the dark and were still heading towards the top of the mountain.
boom! boom! boom!
The time bomb began to detonate, using things within a few meters around it as a punching bag, releasing deadly energy and shrapnel regardless of friend or foe.
The Alliance soldiers in the town discovered in advance that as long as they retreated to the west of the central area in time, they could basically avoid the time bombs, so there was little damage.
The remnants of Zurich's army, which had reached the mountainside, were not so lucky.
As if God was specifically against them, they were hit hard again.
In the next 10 minutes, a bomb will explode around them without warning and send them to the sky.
Especially the soldiers on the mountainside, when they were in a dilemma, they gritted their teeth and had no choice but to rush upward.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
What greeted them were hundreds of fire-spitting weapons, large and small, and brutal frontal fights were repeated.
