"I plan to assemble the tank companies from each combat battalion in the entire brigade. More than fifty tanks will form an armored fist, and under the cover of artillery, they will smash towards the center of the enemy's defense line. "
"After forming a breakthrough, our mechanical troops and motorized troops will quickly follow up. We will open a 30-kilometer-deep wound on the enemy's position for at least one day. Only in this way can we create conditions for breakthrough and encirclement for the friendly forces that follow up."
Perbov told his old partner his plan.
After listening, Leroy thought for a while and had no objection.
This is really Perbov's style of rushing forward and piercing the enemy.
"If you don't have any objection, let's do it. We will set off tomorrow morning. The troops have rested for two days, which is enough. I hope that the new recruits who have just come in can put it to good use without causing any problems. Mistake."
It turns out that the new recruits did not disappoint Perbov. Compared with the veterans who have participated in many brutal battles, although these newly recruited soldiers are a little immature, their military skills are definitely sufficient.
Early the next morning, at dawn, the first brigade set off.
The shocking artillery fire covered the enemy's position.
The soldiers and leaders of the anti-governor alliance were stunned by the ferocious artillery fire.
Before this, they had experienced the power of Alliance artillery when fighting against the 7th and 8th Divisions. But at that time, the two divisions combined only had about fifty schools.
But it was precisely because of the existence of these fifty heavy artillery that the 70,000 to 80,000 anti-governor allies were unable to advance.
It’s okay to defend, relying on fortifications and anti-gun holes, you can barely resist; if you take the initiative to attack, there is no artillery countermeasures or armored force cover, and fifty heavy cannons are enough. Let their offensive troops send as many as they come.
After giving away some heads, they knew they couldn’t beat them like this.
But before they could come up with any new ideas, the Alliance’s Iron Fist arrived first.
At this moment, the rebel troops were squatting in the artillery holes and various fortifications as usual, and then the artillery came.
They thought this was like the shelling they had been subjected to every day for more than half a month. Although it is uncomfortable, even though people may die, it will be over after just one blow.
But in fact, that is not the case at all.
This time the bombardment was much more intensive and lasting than before.
This is by no means an effect that fifty artillery pieces can produce
That is exactly what happened.
At this moment, a total of ten artillery battalions can be pulled out from the five divisions, and more than 300 artillery pieces can be fired simultaneously
All the artillery pieces of the five divisions and brigade-level units Almost all the troops were concentrated and utilized. combined artilleryThe position was concentrated in the direction where the Xiefeng Brigade was about to launch an assault, and bombardment was carried out indiscriminately.
Within an hour, one hundred rounds and 30,000 rounds of 155mm howitzers were fired, hitting a position about eight kilometers wide in the center of the enemy's army. On average, if it is less than 30 centimeters, a 155 howitzer will hit it and the shells will not fit.
What happened to the anti-gun holes
One shot was dug out in the middle. If the bomb-proof hole is slightly shallower, it will be blown down; if you are lucky, if you are not hit, the ground will shake and earth will fall; I don’t know how many times it will shake, and the bomb-proof hole will be destroyed. Collapse.
Not to mention, it is impossible for all soldiers to have bomb-proof holes to stay in. Some can only stay in trenches or even foxholes.
If a shot like this hits, a whole group of people will lose their lives.
And these 30,000 rounds of artillery shells are just a prelude to the attack.
When the artillery fire stopped, an officer from the anti-Governor Allied Forces came out of a cement bunker built in the trench and half buried in the ground.
He was a mess, his ears were deaf, and there were even dried blood hanging in his ears.
Just now, at least ten rounds of heavy artillery landed near the bunker.
Fortunately, none of the bullets hit the bunker directly, otherwise his life would have been lost; unfortunately, the trenches leading to the two exits of the bunker were both hit, which made his His ears were deafened, and the artillery shrapnel that flew in killed several staff officers around him and cut off one of his arms.
He covered his bleeding arm and walked out of the bunker. What he saw were corpses scattered in the trenches. Some people were wailing, but there were also many people who couldn't even wailing, and some even couldn't even find their bodies.
He staggered, stepped on the shooting pedal like rolling and crawling, and looked in the direction of the Union army.
He saw fifty steel monsters, separated by a distance of about 20 to 30 meters, and the skirmishers moved towards the trench with great momentum.
And following these steel monsters with gun barrels, there were also countless infantry fighting vehicles that he could not count.
Further back, there are many trucks full of infantry in the distance, which is even less clear.
He shouted loudly for the soldiers to come out to fight and block the enemy's attack, but his voice was so loud that even he himself couldn't hear him because he was deaf.
No one responded to his call.
At least in the small position he was in, there were no survivors.
What should we do next?
Before he could figure out the reason behind his dizzy head, he saw a tank with its barrel rotating and aiming at him. here.
He stared blankly at the dark muzzle, which emitted a burst of orange fire, and then his eyes went dark, and he knew nothing.
Follow the troops to charge, and the distance to the enemy tanks on the front line is aboutLieutenant Colonel Purbov, who was several hundred meters away, risked his head and looked at the battlefield with a telescope.
He happened to see the scene just now.
He cursed and said, "Mom, if you see a mosquito, you have to shoot it, right? The shells are free, right?"
He looked a little depressed.
It’s not really because the tank soldiers wasted artillery shells, but
“Damn it, the artillery soldiers did all my work, what am I doing?”
He I plopped back into the car, not too happy.
Leroy next to him certainly understands the virtues of his old partner. He smiled and patted Purbov on the shoulder, comforting him and said, "If a problem can be solved with artillery shells, don't take human lives to solve it. I think this is good. What's more, if you want to fight, it's not like you really don't have a war to fight. Although the artillery brothers are capable, can they really do all the work?"
Of course what Leroy said makes sense.
A shell less than thirty centimeters is an exaggeration. The enemy's position does not only have one line. No matter how amateur or stupid the commander on the opposite side is, he still knows how to build a deep defense line.
It was indeed tragic to be bombed, but it was really not that there were only a few soldiers on a front that was eight kilometers wide and at least three kilometers thick.
In fact, the Xifeng Brigade encountered resistance.
The enemy began to show up. Some people who were lucky enough to survive the bombardment had already emerged from bunkers, fortifications, and shell holes at the command of the officers to respond to the attack. The enemy launched a counterattack.
However
The intensity of this counterattack is like scratching an itch.
I don’t know if the artillery position of the Anti-Governor Allied Forces was damaged by the previous 30,000 heavy artillery pieces. Anyway, there was no trace at this time;
The soldiers were holding There are also some weapons that can barely be regarded as anti-armor, such as rocket launchers, explosive packs, etc., but the number is not enough and the power is not enough. The rocket launcher, whether it is used to hit the Cruiser or the Challenger tank, is just scratching the itch, unless it is really at close range and very accurately hits the thinnest parts of the tracks, wheels, and butt armor of tanks and armored vehicles.
The explosive pack requires someone to get close to it.
But that is difficult. In order to ensure accuracy and power, it must be very close to the armored unit. However, their tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are not turtles. They can run faster than people and have a lot of firepower. Not to mention cannon tubes, machine guns on tanks, machine guns on infantry fighting vehicles, and bolt machine guns are all items that can cause explosive damage to light infantry. Without fire cover, relying solely on light infantry, they would be beaten to pieces before they could get close.
If someone is really lucky or perseverant and can wait until the tank passes by and then suddenly rush out, it is also basically impossible to succeed.
The Xifeng Brigade’s tactics of infantry-tank coordination and armored charge are their specialty.
The infantry of the Union Army are not vegetarians.
This time,The infantry-tank coordination tactic adopted by the Xifeng Brigade is armor-guided impact, with tanks in the front, mechanized infantry dismounted for combat in the middle, and infantry fighting vehicles in the rear. On both sides and rear of each tank, there are usually one or two infantry squads. The firearms in their hands will teach enemies who feel that the tank barrel cannot rotate fast enough and want to strike from the side. At the same time, the infantry fighting vehicle further back serves as the infantry's key fire support.
At the same time, the tank troops will not make the mistake of being out of touch. They often maintain a distance of 20,100 meters from the infantry. After occupying a position, the tanks will stop for a while and wait for the infantry to come up.
After the infantry comes up, they will complete the occupation and clearing of the surrounding area. The tanks will set off again at this moment, and break through another position, and the infantry will follow.
And so on.
After the motorized troops at the back follow up, they will carry out the final cleaning work on the enemy troops that have been washed to pieces.
With this tactic, even an enemy position with a tight defense line is difficult to defend, let alone the current group of anti-governor allies.
They were originally a ragtag group of people pulled together from various settlements. There were visible differences in equipment, morale, training, and experience. After being plowed by 30,000 artillery rounds again, not many people could survive. What's more, even among those who were alive, their morale had already reached the point of collapse.
To be honest, if I hadn't been forced to resist by the officer, I'm afraid I would have run away or hid waiting to surrender.
But aren’t the officers of the Anti-Governor Allied Forces themselves afraid of death?
Obviously they are too.
In some places, the soldiers fled, and the officers tried to call the soldiers back, but to no avail. They were heartbroken and simply ran away;
Yes Some officers, after calling the soldiers to go out and resist, fled first;
Some officers simply ran away with their soldiers.
In general, these anti-governor allies, after suffering a terrible bombardment, were able to organize the remaining people and carry out a certain degree of counterattack. It can be seen that their status as a ragtag group has been considered. Very good.
But under the impact of the armored forces, this resistance was quickly shattered.
If the fleeing soldiers run to both sides, then Purbov's soldiers will not pay much attention to them and have no time to take care of things on both sides of the battle line; but if they panic and run backwards, it is tantamount to It is obviously very bad to be chased by armored troops all the way. Two legs can't run as fast as a wheel.
Especially after the enemy's resistance became weaker and weaker, Purbov adopted bold and radical tactics, no longer allowing infantry and armored forces to maintain close cooperation, and tactical discipline was put aside. Emphasis on impact speed.
The infantry fighting vehicle began to overtake the slower Challenger tank and reached the front; the engineer battalion also quickly moved forward on armed trucks to catch up, and the collisionWhen they reached places where they could not be driven over, the engineers got off their vehicles and filled in trenches and built temporary roads.
This is actually very dangerous, but there is no danger.
Just two hours after the Xifeng Brigade officially entered the battle, the entire unit penetrated the middle area of the enemy's defense line.
Eight kilometers wide and four kilometers deep, it was completely washed away.
At this point, Commander Yan’s central blooming strategy can be considered an initial success.
The enemy's line is about fifty kilometers wide, and it has been blown out from the middle, and an eight-kilometer wide protrusion has been punched out from the middle.
All of this, including the artillery bombardment and the completion of the assault by the armored forces, all happened within three hours.
Next, it’s time to make dumplings in the next stage of the central blooming tactic.
The salient was struck, of course, in preparation for annihilating the enemy.
After breaking through the defense line, the Xifeng Brigade did not stop. After crossing the difficult trench area where the enemy was still resisting, the road to the back became even smoother. The mechanized troops of the Xifeng Brigade ran very fast on this smooth road.
Five hours later, the leading troops of the Xifeng Brigade had already marched fifty kilometers away.
At this time, only eight hours had passed since the bombardment started.
Eight hours was not even enough time for the anti-Governor Allied forces, which were divided into two parts, to have any effective response.
But Yan Fangxu’s follow-up attack plans have already followed.
The 2nd Motorized Infantry Division quickly followed up from the salient created by the Xifeng Brigade. Some troops were left to stand firm in the central protrusion, while the other troops, together with the Xifeng Brigade, were outflanking due north and due west respectively.
This is the retreat of the enemy's two divided forces.
At the same time, the 3rd Beast-Slaying Independent Regiment and the 7th and 8th Garrison Divisions, with the support of artillery, began to launch an all-out attack.
The enemy's troops began to waver.
The center was broken through, the two sides lost contact, the rear was surrounded, and the front was flooded by ferocious artillery fire
Under attack from multiple sides, they became dumpling fillings.
It took Yan Fangxu half a day to make the center bloom, and another day to make a solid dumpling.
The skin is thin and the filling is large, but the meat filling cannot break through the seemingly weak dumpling skin.
They were surrounded for three days.
There are no supplies, no ammunition, and no reinforcements
It is unrealistic to expect them to fight until they run out of ammunition and food and all the people are dead
It is a ragtag group of people.
On the fourth day, enemy troops began to surrender on a large scale.
At this point, this dumpling with thin skin and large filling is considered to be cooked.
