Chapter 024, Fueling Tactics

Sitting in the headquarters, Canglong was expressionless, Snow Leopard and Bai Wuchang couldn't understand what Canglong was doing, and as the battle report came, the remnants of the Heavy Armored Division of the Second Army had begun to exchange fire with Taylor, and the information sent by Su Su told them that the battle situation was not optimistic

The Heavy Armored Division is inferior to the US First Armored Division in terms of quantity and quality, not to mention that the other side also has an army aviation brigade to cooperate in the operation

And the black impermanence of the fierce man fought for nearly an hour, but did not send any signal for help, seeing that the troops were about to run out, Canglong did not give an order for reinforcements of the garrison, and it was not until an hour and a half later that Canglong said calmly: "The garrison can go."

The snow leopard immediately left the command, he was the commander of the special operations command, and the garrison was also under his jurisdiction, so he was the most anxious

However, an hour after the snow leopard left, Xiami and Bai Wuchang were in a hurry, but Canglong made tea and waited calmly, and it was another hour and a half before Canglong ordered the 50,000 militia to go around, during which the snow leopard sent a message for help, because he felt that he was pitted by Canglong

It was originally scheduled to be half an hour, but now it became an hour and a half, which made the unprepared snow leopard fight very hard, and by the time he arrived at the battlefield, the heavy armored division was almost completely wiped out

And their 10,000 people did not change the tide of the battle, Taylor was very smart, after he came, he still desperately launched an attack on the heavy armored division, trying to completely eliminate the heavy armored division, which caused the garrison without heavy firepower to attack and was fiercely blocked, but they had to continue to attack, and the casualties were huge, and finally made a gap, and all rushed in, only to find that they were encircled

Surrounded by the ground and air fire of the First Armored Division, the garrison also suffered heavy casualties, but for the snow leopard's call for help, Canglong only replied with one sentence: "I don't want to receive information to say anything", we are holding our position, and we can't support it anymore, "You don't need to hold your position at all, you just need to attack, it is the Yankees who should hold your position."

After the order was sent, the snow leopard did not ask for help, as if the whole army was wiped out, and Aziz begged for help, saying: "Let the air force go to reinforcements, and they will not be wiped out if the fight continues."

But Canglong continued to shake his head, and it was not until an hour and a half had passed that the 50,000 militia went around according to the predetermined plan, and the following troops were also sent out in an hour and a half

By the time the last Jǐng Cha and the student army were sent out, it was already twelve o'clock in the night, and Aziz and Bai Wuchang were almost confused by Canglong's calmness, and they finally understood what kind of tactic Canglong used

In technical terms, this is called refueling tactics, and it is actually a method of tentative attack, which refers to the method of using small groups of troops to attack one by one, like adding oil to a lamp once, adding more is not enough, adding more is not enough, and adding more is not enough, but this tactic is only used by the most rubbish commanders

Under normal circumstances, the commander will not take the initiative to use the tactic of refueling, and the reason for the use of this is often the lack of grasp of the enemy's situation or the misinterpretation of the strategic situation in the early stage, resulting in insufficient troops in the first wave of battles to achieve strategic and tactical objectives, or encountering the enemy's fierce counterattack and suffering heavy losses and making it difficult to withdraw from the battlefield

Therefore, Canglong's use of refueling tactics to send troops in batches was completely for the Americans to slaughter, and the only place where refueling tactics could be used and could produce effects was in defensive warfare with defensive positions, and refueling tactics could play a certain role, and the defensive troops relied on effective fortifications to partially invest troops in various sections to block and harass the enemy's troops, so as to achieve the goal of delaying the enemy's attack, depleting the enemy's vital forces, and destroying the enemy's will to attack, which was reflected in the Stalingrad Street Battle and the Shangganling Tunnel Battle

However, they did not rely on adequate defensive measures, but fought against the American army in the open air, and Canglong also used the tactic of adding fuel, a tactic that no commander with military common sense would use, and simply sent them to death

"If you continue to play like this, hundreds of thousands of people will all be killed by you," Xiami already had some doubts about whether Canglong was really preparing for a war, and also suspected that he deliberately let these people sacrifice, and the front was resolutely performed

"The Prophet's tactics won't work at all," Aziz said in a respectful tone, but still dissatisfied

"Whether it has any effect or not, only Taylor knows, an hour and a half later, the Air Force will take the initiative to attack," said Canglong and looked at Xiami, "Let your people block the back road, if Taylor wants to retreat, use missiles to serve him"

Several people were a little speechless, but they still carried out the order

In fact, the refueling tactics used by Canglong are indeed useful, and he has created a miracle, but this miracle can only be created in a specific occasion and a specific army, such as the current Basra battlefield

Taylor was indeed in a very uncomfortable state at this moment, because from day to night, he found that the troops on the opposite side were fighting more and more, and the morale was stronger

The reason why he ordered his troops to fight a decisive battle with Hei Wuper's heavy armored division was that he couldn't stand the disturbance of Hei Impermanence, and finally Black Impermanence fought him to the death, so he gave up his goal and prepared to clean up Black Impermanence, but he still reserved defensive troops, because he felt that this was the last force left by the Prophet's army in Basra, and the decisive battle that was about to be fought against him

Of course, he was not wrong in his judgment, it was indeed a decisive battle, but the idea of a decisive battle did not meet his own standards, and after almost an hour and a half of maneuvering with the Prophet's medium and heavy armored divisions, Taylor finally surrounded the force that had annoyed him

The next step was to purge the tank, but it didn't go well, and even the troops on the front sent reports that the larger the force, the more tenacious it became, and that there was no possibility of surrender or compromise, and that the tanks were damaged, and that they would use human bombs against their tanks

Countless people came one after another, seeing that their companions in front of them were dead, but none of them flinched, as if there was a force controlling them to die

The U.S. troops froze, from head-on confrontation to positional warfare, these Prophet soldiers would fight back as long as they were not dead, until the U.S. military thought that they were going to completely destroy this force, and another force appeared

Taylor was so angry that he almost flipped the table, and the appearance of this force completely exceeded his expectations, saving the dying heavy armored division at a critical moment, although there were not many people alive, but their participation made this positional battle more and more interesting

Although Taylor was furious, he knew that he was facing another problem now, if he didn't destroy them, he would probably find it difficult for him to fight Basra, and since he couldn't go to Basra if he didn't destroy them, then he would fight

Taylor ordered an all-out attack, wanting to get out of the battlefield completely, but what he didn't expect was that this newly joined unit, although they didn't have too many heavy weapons, their will to fight was not inferior to the heavy armored division just now, and in the headquarters, Taylor even heard the commanders under him say that they were already scared

In the U.S. Army, the 1st Panzer Division is notoriously insane, but now they are facing an enemy who is even crazier than them, or at least they are dead, but the other side is completely dead

When he had managed to surround the force and was about to swallow it, two hours another force appeared, which circled behind them and attacked, although the weapons of this force were inferior to the last, but they all possessed one thing, and were not afraid of death

Moreover, the number of this force was more than twice that of the 1st Panzer Division, and by this time almost all of his ammunition had been smashed on the front two troops, and without supplies, they would soon be in an embarrassing situation

But Taylor was not ready to retreat, he was ready to abandon these troops directly, break through to Basra, and move to Kuwait, but it was not so easy to get out

Because the three armies had almost divided his troops, Taylor finally understood the cleverness of the commander opposite, because now he was facing the possibility of total annihilation, or even total capture, knowing that once his troops ran out of ammunition and were surrounded again, almost all of them would choose to raise their hands and surrender, and the American army had no tradition of sacrifice

When he ordered all his troops to withdraw and pass through Basra and transit to Kuwait, another force appeared, and at that moment, for the 1st Panzer Division, which was already running low on ammunition, it was almost overwhelmed and unable to continue

Moreover, there were 50,000 more men in this army, and at the end of the battle, about 20,000 or 30,000 people rushed over and completely made dumplings for them

The 1st Panzer Division without ammunition couldn't fight them hand-to-hand, and it was a good choice to drive a tank rampage, but Taylor's men were already tired after fighting for so long

When the roar of fighter jets appeared in the air, and the tanks that were ready to storm Basra were mercilessly blown up, everyone in the 1st Panzer Division was desperate, and there was an endless stream of surrenderers

Taylor, on the other hand, stayed where he was, this time instead of scolding, he said calmly: "We lost in the will"

He did lose in will, although Canglong was using refueling tactics, but the terrain here was open, and their advantage was that they were numerous

If all the troops are pressed up in an instant, Taylor will probably turn around and run away when the time comes, and Basra will inevitably have one more henchman

In order to keep him here, Canglong added troops in waves, of course, there was another effect of doing so, which stimulated the will to fight of the soldiers who were fighting, and in the face of the imminent destruction of their homeland, they would only fight stronger and stronger

They don't want to be slaves of the Americans again than to die, and no matter how poor their country is, it's their own
