Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1186

[Chapter 1173 Forced]

Hadrian’s Wall.

This is the Great Wall built by the ancient Roman Emperor Hadrian to resist foreign invasion. Over the years, now only mounds of the Great Wall remain, becoming the boundary between Scotland and England.

“Charge again! The Scots can’t resist for long.”.

In the trenches on the south side of Hadrian’s Wall, Buterin ordered another charge.

After Scotland declared independence, he marched northward. An army of 300,000 Englishmen encountered Scottish resistance at Hadrian’s Wall.

In order to defeat each other these days, both sides fought fiercely. However, compared to the Scottish militia, many English soldiers were veterans on the battlefield. Coupled with their numerical advantage, Butlin took control of the war in just two months. initiative.

Facing the dwindling Scottish army, he continued to charge, hoping to break through the defense line and enter Scotland within three days.

But his expectations were soon dashed. When the steel monster painted in military green swooped down from the Scottish Highlands, all the English soldiers were shocked by the scene before them.

“The imperial army has landed.”

Buterin said. Although the coast was blocked by the empire, this did not mean that Britain was completely cut off from the outside world.

It is not impossible to cross the English Channel covertly and alone. Because of this, they still maintain intermittent contact with the European continent.

Through intelligence, he determined that the monster in front of him was an imperial tank. Scotland had no ability to manufacture such a machine.

“Whoosh whoosh…”

When the English soldiers were in panic, a formation of forty-two tanks stopped at the front of the Scottish position.

Then shells roared from behind the Scottish position. When these shells fell on the English position, there was a huge explosion.

Wherever the artillery shells landed, huge craters were blasted out. The soldiers hit by the artillery shells were directly lifted into the air by the air waves, and their bodies were even torn apart.

But what frightened them even more was that the enemy artillery could not be found within their visible range.

Scottish position.

Lu Jun and Heinerson were observing the English positions on the south side of the Great Wall. After preparing the army, he immediately led the army into the battlefield.

After all, Falkland is only a two-hour drive from the battlefield.

“Hahaha, these damn English people should be bombed enough.” Heinerson smiled happily.

Because of the range of the howitzers, their artillery was set up on a high ground, five kilometers away from the front line, which also prevented the artillery position from being hit by the enemy.

In Lu Jun’s eyes, the howitzer shells fell like raindrops in a heavy rain on the flat lake, setting off one wave after another.

With each explosion, smoke and dust flew into the air, taking away the lives of English soldiers.

Looking at this scene, Lu Jun pursed his lips tightly. With such a significant difference in weapons generation, England’s defeat was already doomed.

He didn’t want to waste too much time in this war, so after a carpet bombing of artillery fire, he ordered the tanks and infantry to move forward.

Like the Austrian war, he received command of the Scottish army after entering the battlefield, so now the imperial army is only responsible for fire coverage, and the melee combat and fighting on the battlefield are performed by the Scots themselves.

Heinerson did not refuse this determination, it would make more sense for him to let the Scots defeat the English and win again.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

“Click, click, click…”

The forward consisting of forty-two tanks slowly advanced towards the English position. During the march, the tanks continued to shoot at important targets, while the machine gunners poured bullets.

The Scots soldiers followed closely behind the tanks, their positions in the trenches now occupied by Imperial machine gunners and mortarmen.

The soldiers of the Empire will clear the way for them to advance.

…

English position.

Butlin shook off the dust from his body and climbed up from the trench. Then he saw the advancing tanks and the Scottish soldiers following the tanks.

He pulled up the adjutant who was lying in the trench and asked him to lead the English soldiers to prepare for a counterattack, but he found that the bullet hole between the adjutant’s eyebrows was bleeding.

This scene suddenly reminded him of the Battle of India. He was also faced with the same desperate situation at that time, but this time they had no way out.

Weaving through the trenches, Buterin looked for living soldiers to join the counterattack, but he was horrified by the casualties caused by the bombardment.

The tanks were moving very fast, and before the English soldiers could organize an effective counterattack, the Scottish soldiers behind the tanks rushed into the ditch.

They took out the grenades supported by the Empire and threw them into the English trenches. They jumped into the trenches with bayonet-equipped percussion guns and fought hand-to-hand with the English soldiers.

The Imperial tanks provided fire support for the Scots in front of the English positions, and machine guns continued to sweep into areas where the English resistance was fierce.

It’s just that the English have a strong will to fight. Although many English died under the shelling, they are still fighting the Scots tenaciously.

The first batch of attacking Scottish soldiers were quickly driven back by the still superior English soldiers.

Faced with this situation, Lu Jun was very indifferent. The number of English soldiers was almost three times that of Scottish soldiers. Even if the empire’s firepower was fierce, it could not kill so many enemies at one time.

Therefore, such a counterattack cannot be successful in one go and requires repeated consumption.

Heinerson had already learned of Lu Jun’s plan in advance, so he was not furious at the failure of the first charge.

According to Lu Jun, the more impatient England is now, the less impatient they can be, because England’s fragile economy may be dragged down by this war of attrition at any time.

On the contrary, Scotland, which has the support of the empire, will receive a large amount of food commodities from Africa and is not afraid of consumption with England.

At the same time, in order to force England to surrender, Xie Yuan was leading the Marine Corps to attack London. This was his and Lu Jun’s plan to attack the east and the west.

Lu Jun was responsible for trapping Butlin on the front line so that he could kill all the English nobles.

“Shell attack!”

Looking at the pocket watch, the imperial warships outside London suddenly launched an attack on the London port. Shells fell on the London pier one after another, turning the place into a fiery hell again.

Just when the citizens of London thought the Empire was just conducting a routine bombing, they suddenly discovered landing craft one after another carrying soldiers heading towards the Port of London.

Upon discovering this, the London garrison immediately concentrated on the port, but Imperial soldiers quickly occupied the docks and established a defense system.

The machine guns spit out flames and bullets flew towards the British soldiers who were constantly being reinforced.
