Chapter 1823 He fled, he chased!
The National Defense Forces immediately began using 155mm mortars to clear this high ground.
A directly subordinate artillery regiment is bombarding this hilltop relentlessly.
24 155mm howitzers are firing wildly.
The previous two were just appetizers.
For those ignorant orc rebel recruits, they thought the National Defense Force's artillery fire was completely inaccurate.
In reality, the defense forces simply wanted to confirm the accuracy of their bombing zones.
If on the battlefield.
Facing a regular army.
When you hear the distinctive sound of the 155mm cannon, after only two shots, you have to run.
Most regular troops would first calibrate the shot with two shells.
The 155mm howitzer has always been a mainstay of modern armies.
Whether it's area bombardment or creeping barrage, the 155mm howitzer is capable of this task.
The National Defense Forces' artillery fire lasted for 20 minutes.
The entire mountaintop position was shaved off by several centimeters.
The instant the artillery fire stopped.
An armored company of the National Army launched an attack, followed by two full-strength infantry companies.
A large number of armored vehicles rushed toward the high ground.
However, these armored vehicles were of no use at all, because the orc rebels always fought hand-to-hand combat when defending the high ground.
The task of the armored forces was to deliver the infantry to the front of the high ground positions.
Reduce the damage taken by infantry during the charge.
As the National Defense Forces launched their assault, the surviving resistance soldiers immediately began to hastily prepare for battle.
Bustron was dug out of the ground by his companions.
Seeing the unconscious Bustron, his companion went up and slapped him twice.
"Hey, wake up! The National Defense Forces are charging in!"
Bustron woke up groggily.
Seeing the anxious look on his companion's face.
Bustron mumbled incoherently.
"Ah, what did you say?"
Bustron was very unfortunate.
He had just dragged his companion into the bunker.
A 155mm shot landed precisely on his head.
The makeshift shelter was completely destroyed by the blast.
Bustron was buried inside, while his companion, who was at the entrance, was fortunate enough to avoid being buried as well.
And they were lucky enough to survive the bombing from the 155mm emplacement.
The moment the Wehrmacht launched its assault, he immediately went in and dug Bustron out.
Bustron looked at his anxious companions, and even though Yu had already reacted, he roared and picked up 191, ready to fight the National Defense Army head-on.
"I will fight them to the end! Now that I have good weapons, I have nothing..."
Bustron had just stood up and was about to finish speaking when his words were abruptly cut off. The next second, his head exploded like a shattered watermelon.
Because the Wehrmacht's infantry fighting vehicles were firing high-explosive shells wildly from a distance.
The high-explosive fragmentation shell grazed just above the trench.
Bustron was hit by a fragmentation bullet as soon as he showed his face.
He instantly transformed into a headless knight.
His companion was stunned by the bloody scene, but then he screamed.
The veteran rebels standing nearby offered no words of comfort or blame.
He doesn't care about any of that now.
Because they knew they couldn't retreat alive from this position.
They either perish together with the National Defense Force, or they are kicked to death by the National Defense Force like a stray dog on the roadside.
There was no other choice...
Under the firepower suppression of infantry fighting vehicles.
The orc rebels were pinned down in the trenches, unable to lift their heads.
Even though they salvaged some good equipment from the bodies of the IDF soldiers, this equipment posed absolutely no threat to the IDF vehicles.
The National Defense Forces did not leave any weapons on the position that could threaten vehicles.
Initially, during their first attack, after capturing the position, they deployed the Red Arrow 8 on the mountaintop.
However, as the orcish resistance launched a counterattack, it seemed that the mountain positions were about to fall.
The National Defense Forces decisively destroyed the two HJ-8 missiles.
Because if these two HJ-8 missiles were to fall into the hands of the resistance forces...
The rebels would then use these two HJ-8s to attack the National Defense Forces' vehicles.
As a result, after the rebel soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain, they couldn't find the Red Arrow 8, let alone an RPG.
They could only use the most basic weapons to fight against the vehicles of the National Defense Force.
After several rounds of being repeatedly defeated, the Orc rebels completely gave up on the idea of confronting the National Defense Forces' vehicles.
They simply huddled in their positions, waiting for the National Defense Army infantry to charge up before engaging in fierce combat with them.
The National Defense Forces have few countermeasures against this.
The rebels, whom even 155 men couldn't kill, had no other option but to use human lives to kill them.
Under the cover of infantry fighting vehicles, 500 IDF infantrymen quickly stormed the high ground.
Upon hearing the approaching National Defense Forces, the Orc Rebels immediately began to retaliate.
The battle between the two sides is about to break out.
Another fierce battle has begun on this high ground.
Although the orc resistance in these highlands has successfully gained dignity.
However, the battlefront along the entire central corridor gradually advanced northward.
It's only a matter of time before the orc resistance is defeated.
After learning that this high ground was extremely difficult to conquer, Guderian decisively issued a support order to the rocket artillery brigade.
But at this moment.
Gudri was unaware that an army had already approached their vicinity...
After a full day of marching.
Harald and his men successfully made their way to the vicinity of Gudri's command post.
Marching 50 kilometers in a single day is virtually impossible.
Especially in such a dangerous area.
But Harald was very lucky.
Because they discovered a shortcut.
However, this shortcut is a bit risky.
That means sliding down a hillside.
And below this hillside is a small river.
After Harald and his men fell into the river, they drifted downstream and landed on the bank 3 kilometers from the Gudri command post.
After Harald's bold move.
Of the 800 elite soldiers, only 500 remain.
However, it saved Harald more than 8 hours.
Eight hours was enough for Guderian to beat the rebels three or four times over.
Harald looked at the brightly lit command post in the distance, his heart filled with unparalleled excitement.
"We've successfully infiltrated Gudri's command post!"
Looking at the large number of tents in the distance.
Harald decisively concluded that this was Gudri's command post.
Because most of the vehicles parked here are logistics command vehicles.
There are basically not many armored vehicles.
Harald immediately ordered his soldiers to surround them.
In the forest, the orcs' green skin served as a form of camouflage.
In addition, as dusk approached, the light in the woods gradually dimmed.
Looking at the command post so close at hand, Harald was bursting with excitement.
But just as Harald and his men stealthily crept over, a gunshot shattered the silence.
Goodry is not a fool.
The guards aren't stupid either.
Although some members of the guard force were transferred to the central corridor to support the National Defense Force.
However, the guards still deployed a large number of hidden posts around the command post.
These hidden sentries opened fire the moment they spotted the orcs.
"boom!"
A gunshot shattered the tranquility of the woods.
Harald immediately realized they had been exposed.
Without any hesitation, Harald immediately ordered everyone to charge toward the command post.
Gudri, who was having dinner in the command post, suddenly heard the gunshot.
Goodry was initially a little confused.
What's going on? Who accidentally fired?
But the next second, he instantly realized that this was not an accidental discharge!
Sure enough, an officer rushed in in a panic.
"General, something terrible has happened! The orcs have infiltrated the command post!"
Goodry was stunned when he heard this.
Dude, how did these orcs get here?
Goodry was completely baffled; the orcs couldn't possibly have broken through the northern and eastern defense lines.
However, before Gudri could think any further, he was forced into the command vehicle by a group of guards.
This command vehicle was modified from the 04 troop carrier armored vehicle.
While maintaining high-speed mobility, it also has a certain amount of space for command and control operations.
As soon as Goodry was put into the vehicle, the orcs stormed into the command camp.
Harald was extremely anxious as he watched Gudri's command vehicle being escorted away.
Seeing someone trying to escape, the subordinates nearby didn't hesitate and immediately pulled out their RPGs and opened fire.
The soldiers escorting the convoy were terrified as they felt the RPG whizz past them.
They weren't this tense and afraid even when facing death.
Their only fear now is that something will happen to General Guderian.
If General Guderian were to be killed, the entire course of the war would be completely altered.
Five or six RPGs grazed Gudri's vehicle in quick succession, and a large number of Wehrmacht soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
Harald was somewhat desperate.
Because Gudri is about to leave the camp, he still can't do it!
But the next second, an RPG hit the track of the armored vehicle that Goodry was in.
Gudri's vehicle came to an instant stop.
Harald's eyes lit up instantly.
God helps me too!
