Chapter 255 255 opened to traffic

On the westward railway, a worker knocked the last nail into the sleeper, and then lifted the head to wipe the sweat from your forehead.

The railway was as far as he could see, and was about to enter the territory of the Eternal Empire. There was a huge towering city wall, and the train passed between the two City Wall sections.

The Holy Demon Emperor has not yet been so arrogant and maddened, they did not attack the Eternal Empire, they just demolished the railway and transported it away in front of each other.

Of course, the Eternal Empire has been losing ground because of the fight against the puppet empire, and it is not in the mood to compete with the Holy Demon Emperor. In the end, the two sides tacitly maintained a state of truce here, and no one was first. means to fire.

However, as the battle progressed, the soldiers of the Holy Demon Emperor began to retreat, and finally replaced with the soldiers of Alanhill. Then countless sappers began to repair these damaged railways, racing against time to be lively.

The famous westward railway was soon repaired, and the road between Alanhill and the Eternal Empire was completely opened up.

"The railway has been completed!" Holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, Captain, the engineer who was supervising the construction, shouted excitedly into the microphone.

The huge engine sound appeared in the sky, a UH-1 utility helicopter appeared on the horizon, a second UH-1 helicopter followed behind that helicopter, two helicopters one after the other gallops forward.

These planes have machine guns hanging from the sides and are filled with guard soldiers. After the two helicopters flew over this railway section, a train full of supplies, accompanied by more helicopters, slowly moved forward along the railway.

"This is the first train! Pay attention to the situation around you!" Inside a helicopter, the commander in charge of the transportation operation pressed the intercom and reminded his men loudly in the noise.

They are Alanhill's 1st Air Cavalry Division, these helicopters can accompany ground troops very well, and can be equipped with rockets and other weapons, which are very good for the Dragon Knight troops of the Holy Demon Emperor defensive effect.

After all, not far to the south of the westward railway is the forward position controlled by the Holy Demon Emperor. From there, Dragon Knight will arrive along the westward railway.

In order to prevent these Dragon Knights struggling on whilst at death's door from threatening the westward railway, the latest UH-1 utility helicopters appeared along the westward railway.

The Alanhill 1st Air Cavalry Division was equipped with a large number of helicopters, many of which were armed with machine guns and rockets. They rely on these helicopters to fight and react many times faster than normal troops.

These helicopters can transport large numbers of infantry to the edge of the War Zone to drop off in the event of a nearby battle. Massive infantry and bazooka and other weapons can provide good fire support, and helicopters can also provide cover in the sky.

This kind of tactic works very well against those Dragon Knights, and in fact the appearance of helicopters has really given Alanhill a way to really restrain Dragon Knight's infiltration guerrilla tactics.

"No. 2 understands! The surrounding airspace is normal! Don't worry, those cowards from the Holy Demon Emperor Country will not come to die!" A pilot said in the headset with slight interference.

Beneath their helicopter, a train laden with supplies was racing along the tracks. The materials urgently needed by the 9th Army can be replenished in large quantities immediately.

Previously, in order to provide these supplies, Alanhill had to mobilize all the transport aircraft they could mobilize to risk this transport mission.

Although the interception ability of the Holy Demon Emperor country is very low, the transport capacity of the transport aircraft is not high, so the 9th Army has been in a state of defense, they have to save their weapons and ammunition, and dare not take the initiative to provoke the devil .

Now that the westward railway was once again under Alanhill's control, the safety of the 9th Army was assured.

With the cheers of countless sappers, the train quickly passed the railroad tracks, and the train behind it was full of weapons and ammunition to be transported to Grecon.

"This type of helicopter is really useful! With them, the speed of hoisting and transportation has been increased many times!" A sapper raised his head and looked at the flying over his head. Those helicopters exclaimed in admiration.

As a second-line weapon and equipment, this new type of aircraft has not yet appeared on the front line. In order to avoid large-scale losses, the Alanhill military has no plans to put this helicopter into the frontal battlefield for the time being.

They're working on new gunships, that's what they want to use in frontal assaults.

The cheers grew louder as the second train appeared on the tracks not long after. The transportation capacity of Alanhill is actually very strong. As long as the railway is restored, the 9th Army will resume operation within a few days.

Just as everyone was happily watching the train speeding on the tracks, a whistling shell landed nearby.

At first glance, this is not a very accurate cannonball. After all, the actual control line of the Holy Demon Emperor is more than 20 kilometers away from the railway. At this distance, few artillery can directly attack the westward railway. .

"Lie down!" Most of the soldiers nearby were sappers, so everyone started to hide with their steel helmets to avoid each other's artillery fire.

The landing point of the second shell is also very outrageous, and it does not mean to threaten the railway at all, and the power of this shell does not seem to be huge, and it looks similar to a 130mm howitzer shell.

"What? How can their 130mm howitzers hit such a long distance?" The engineer Captain, holding a steel helmet, complained while looking at the shell that fell not far away.

Whether it is the Holy Demon Emperor or the puppet empire, most of them are equipped with 130mm caliber artillery with technical parameters provided by Alanhill. The actual performance is actually not that great.

This kind of howitzer that was exported to the Holy Demon Emperor at that time had a range of only a little more than 9 kilometers, and the level was a real early World War II model, basically a foreign version of the Soviet 122 howitzer.

At that time, exporting this kind of artillery bought Alanhill's development time, and Alanhill was responsible for exporting all production lines, including machine tools and other supporting machinery.

It has been used until now, and the performance of this howitzer is actually very outdated. Not only the power of the shells, but the basic design structure is already outdated.

In addition to the second-line troops, the Alanhill artillery is still equipped with the old-fashioned 75 infantry guns and 105 mm old-fashioned artillery because of the rapid development. Most of them have been replaced with new 105 mm caliber howitzers and 155 mm Caliber howitzer too.

In terms of caliber and design level, the new artillery of the Alanhill Army is much stronger than the old model howitzers equipped by the Holy Demon Emperor and the puppet empire.

The Holy Demon Emperor and the puppet empire, which have been suffering all the time, have of course also considered developing new artillery, but because they do not have the technical reserves of the system, in the process of refitting the artillery, they have encountered countless problems. Trouble.

In the end, the puppet empire has come up with some so-called new weapons and equipment, such as the "new cannon" that is currently shelling the Alanhill Railway. A modified 175mm caliber heavy artillery!

This caliber was designed by the puppet empire itself. The overall design of the artillery follows the structure of the 130mm caliber artillery, with the addition of the medicine chamber and the barrel, which increases the range of the artillery.

However, because it needs to surpass the 155mm howitzer that Alanhill is generally equipped with in terms of range, the range of this puppet empire's new artillery design requires a range of 25 kilometers.

Unfortunately, because the processing level is not enough, the overall design is also the foundation of the 130 artillery, so in the end this new artillery can only reach a range of 22 kilometers, and there are various shortcomings.

First of all, when the maximum range is about 20 kilometers, the accuracy of this artillery is very touching, basically relying on the state of belief.

Secondly, the projectile power of this artillery is very small, and the weight of the charge is about the same as that of the 130 artillery.

In the end, this kind of artillery is huge, which is very inconvenient in transportation and deployment. The puppet empire relied on its own cheap labor to forcibly use this new type of artillery, but unfortunately the actual combat effect can only be said to be mediocre.

"It's only these two days that they can still harass them! After these two days, they'll be beaten farther away, and there won't be so many troubles!" A few shells It landed nearby, and soon stopped.

There was a sound of muffled thunder in the sky, and it should be the Alanhill artillery unit on the front line that started to counterattack. The sound of the earth shook and the mountain quivered continued for a while, until there was no sound behind the positions of the Holy Demon Emperor, and then it gradually stopped.

There are not many Magic Empire troops who dare to fight back in front of the Alanhill artillery group. Although the puppet empire is exhausted, it is not willing to waste its resources in such a troublesome link.

The sappers who got up from the ground were slapping the dust on their bodies, and the third train whistled past the area that had just been bombarded.

The craters were scattered around, most of them still steaming. The engineer Captain looked at his subordinates and ordered loudly: "See if anyone is injured! For the rest, fill up the crater! Work!"

"Ha!" A group of engineers Getting busy again, they started checking around the tracks after the train passed. Many people began to use shovels to shovel the floating soil around the crater back into the crater.

On this day, the westward railway was repaired, the crisis of the 9th Army was lifted, and Alanhill, the Eternal Empire and Grecon were finally connected again. It was also on this day that the capital of the Jasnor Empire changed hands and Alanhill scored a major victory on the southern front.
