My Empire

On the westward railway, a worker knocked the last iron nail into the sleeper, then raised his head to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

This railway is about to enter the territory of the Eternal Empire where he can see. There is a huge towering city wall, and the train passes through the two sections of the city wall.

The Holy Demon Empire was not so arrogant and frantic. They did not attack the Eternal Empire, but in front of the other side, they demolished this section of the railway and transported it away.

Of course, the Eternal Empire has been retreating steadily because of the fight against the Puppet Empire, and there is no mood to compete with the Holy Demon Empire. In the end, the two sides have maintained a state of truce here with tacit understanding, and no one has the intention to open fire first.

However, as the battle progressed, the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire began to retreat, and finally replaced by soldiers from Ailan Hill. Then countless engineers began to repair these damaged railways, racing against time to see if it was lively.

Soon this famous westward railway was repaired, and the road from Ailan Hill to the Eternal Empire was completely opened up.

"The railway has been run through!" With the walkie-talkie in his hand, the engineering captain who oversaw the construction excitedly shouted into the microphone.

A 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, and two helicopters galloped forward one after the other.

Machine guns hung from the sides of these planes, and soldiers in charge of security were seated on them. After 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 surrounding situation!" In a helicopter, the commander in charge of this transportation operation pressed the intercom and loudly reminded his men in the noise.

They are the first air cavalry division of Ailan Hill. These helicopters can accompany the ground forces well, and can be equipped with weapons such as rockets, which have a good defensive effect on the Dragon Knights of the Holy Demon Empire.

After all, not far to the south of the Westward Railway, it was the forward position controlled by the Holy Demon Empire. From there, the Dragon Knight took off, and it would not be long before arriving along the Westward Railway.

In order to prevent these lingering dragon knights from threatening the westward railway, the latest uh-1 general-purpose helicopter appeared along the westward railway.

The Airanhill 1st Air Cavalry Division is equipped with a large number of helicopters, many of which are equipped with machine guns and rockets. They rely on these helicopters to fight, and their reaction speed is many times faster than that of ordinary troops.

Once a battle breaks out nearby, these helicopters can transport a large number of infantry to the edge of the theater to lay down. A large number of infantry and rocket launchers can provide good fire support, and helicopters can also provide cover in the sky.

This tactic is very effective against those dragon knights. In fact, the emergence of helicopters really gave Ailan Hill a way to truly restrain the dragon knights infiltrating guerrilla tactics.

"No. 2 understands! Everything is normal in the surrounding airspace! Don't worry, the cowards of the Holy Demon Empire will not come to die!" In the headset, a pilot said under slight interference.

Below their helicopter, a train was full of supplies and was dashing on the rails. The urgently needed materials of the 9th Army can be replenished in large quantities immediately.

Before, in order to provide these materials, Ailan Hill had to mobilize all the transport planes they could mobilize to risk carrying out this kind of transportation task.

Although the interception capability of the Holy Demon Empire is very low, the transport capability of the transport aircraft is not high. Therefore, the 9th Army has been in a defensive state. They had to save their weapons and ammunition, and did not dare to provoke the demons.

Now that the westward railway has once again returned to the control of Ailan Hill, the safety of the 9th Army is guaranteed.

Amid the cheers of countless engineers, the train quickly passed the railroad tracks, and the train behind was full of weapons and ammunition to be transported to Gricken.

"This kind of helicopter is so easy to use! With them, whether hoisting or transportation, the speed has been increased many times!" An engineer raised his head, looking at the helicopters flying over his head, and exclaimed.

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 Ailan Hill military has no plans to put this type of helicopter into the frontal battlefield for the time being.

They are studying a new type of armed helicopter, which is the weapon and equipment they want to use in frontal assaults.

The cheers grew louder, because it didn't take long for the second train to appear on the rails. Airland Hill’s capacity is actually very strong. As long as this section of the railway is restored, the 9th Army will resume operation within a few days.

When everyone was happily watching the train speeding on the rails, a howling shell landed nearby.

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

"Fell down!" Most of the nearby engineers were engineers, so everyone was holding their helmets and began to hide, avoiding the enemy's artillery attack.

The second shell’s landing point was also very outrageous, and did not mean to threaten the railway at all, and the power of this shell did not seem to be huge, and it seemed to be similar to a 130mm howitzer shell.

"What's the matter? How could their 130mm caliber howitzer hit this far?" Holding the helmet, the engineer captain frowned and complained as he looked at the shell that fell not far away.

Whether it’s the Holy Demon Empire or the Puppet Empire, in fact, most of them are equipped with 130mm artillery with technical parameters provided by Ailan Hill. The actual performance is not so outstanding. ::

The range of this howitzer exported to the Holy Demon Empire was only a little over 9 kilometers. It was a real early World War II model, and it was basically an alien version of the Soviet 122 howitzer.

At that time, the export of this artillery in exchange for the development time of Ailan Xier, and Ailan Xier was responsible for exporting all the production lines, including machine tools and other supporting mechanical equipment.

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

The Ailan Hill artillery was equipped with old-fashioned 75-infantry guns and 105-mm old-style artillery because of the rapid development of the second-line artillery. Most of them have been replaced with new 105-mm howitzers and 155-mm howitzers.

Regardless of the caliber or the design level, the new artillery of the Ailan Hill Army is much stronger than the old howitzers equipped by the Holy Demon Empire and the Puppet Empire.

The Holy Demon Empire and the Puppet Empire, which have been suffering all the time, of course also considered the development of new artillery, but because they did not have a systematic technical reserve, they encountered countless troubles in the process of refitting their artillery.

In the end, the puppet empire still came up with some so-called new weapons and equipment, such as the "new guns" that were bombarding the Ailan Hill Railway. A modified 175mm caliber heavy gun!

This caliber was designed by the Puppet Empire itself. The overall design of the artillery used the structure of a 130mm caliber artillery, adding the chamber and barrel, which increased the range of the artillery.

However, because it has to overwhelm the commonly equipped 155mm howitzer with a range of 15 kilometers, this new artillery design of the puppet empire requires a range of 25 kilometers.

Unfortunately, because the processing level is not enough, the overall design is also the basis of the 130 artillery, so in the end this new type of 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 type of artillery is very touching, basically relying on the state of faith.

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

Finally, this type of artillery has a huge volume, which is very inconvenient in the transportation and deployment links. 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 average.

"Only these two days they can still harass! After these two days, they were beaten farther away, and there is not so much trouble!" A few shells landed nearby, and soon It stopped.

There was a muffled sound of thunder from the horizon, and I think it was the Ailan Hill artillery unit on the front line that began to counterattack. The sound of cannons shaking the ground and the mountains continued for a while, until there was no sound behind the Saint Demon Empire's position, and then it gradually stopped.

The Magic Empire army that dared to fight back in front of the Ailan Hill artillery group was not too many. Although the Puppet Empire struggled to consume, it was unwilling to waste its resources in this kind of trouble-making process.

The engineers who got up from the ground were slapping the dust on their bodies, and the third train sounded its whistle and whizzed past the area that had just been shelled.

The craters are scattered around, most of which are still steaming. The captain of the engineer looked at his men and ordered loudly: "Look if anyone is injured! For the rest, fill up the crater! Work!"

"Ha!" A group of engineers began to get busy again, and after the train passed by, they began to check the conditions around the railroad tracks. 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 Ailan Hill, the Eternal Empire, and Gricken were finally connected once again. It was also on this day that the capital of the Jasno Empire changed hands, and Alan Hill won a major victory on the southern front.
