Chapter 178: Bitter Battle
The combat efficiency of the modern army is unmatched at any time in ancient times, and the most important reason for this lies in the connectivity and efficient processing of information. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In ancient times, according to Clausewitz's theory, because of the confusion of information on the battlefield, it was difficult to implement command, and there was always a fog of war, and the victory or defeat of a war was often determined not by the command of the commander-in-chief, but by the play of each unit and the judgment of intuition.
In modern warfare, such a situation does not mean that it does not exist at all, but the armies of all countries try to avoid it, because once they cannot control the situation and the fog of war begins to appear, then it means that they have exposed their flaws, and the other party is not necessarily in the fog.
In the second battle between Dawn and the Mutant Beast, due to the underestimation of the Mutant Beast and the indifference to intelligence in the early stage, coupled with the strategy of the Mutant Beast's voice attacking the west and west, the defense was torn to pieces at once, which can be described as a thunderous blow, so the fog of war appeared for Dawn. What's more serious is that in this time of complete loss of scheduling, more out-of-control things are happening one after another, and the generals of the various joint committees want to temporarily avoid the limelight, regardless of the lives of the survivors, which to a large extent makes the situation even more overwhelming.
They chose to run away, which was not wrong from a rational point of view, and Shen Lun only sighed silently in his heart. It is true that this time the attack of the mutant beast is completely different from the last one, and the surprise attack is more sudden, and by the time everyone reacts, the defense no longer exists, and the troops in the camp are very limited, and the heavy weapons are difficult to use. From a purely military point of view, giving up is the only option, and even if you simply want to annihilate the invading enemy, it is correct to give up and then supplement it with saturation bombing and firepower attacks.
But if you can't do this, once you really choose this path, even if you win in the end, then the bones of the dawn will not be there, when everyone is dead, the production labor force, and technical talents will all be wiped out, and the core of the Huaxia District will be torn apart.
At the moment, the situation in various places became clear little by little, and after the first round of strikes, it was finally relieved, but the huge casualties also put the last defense in jeopardy.
Most of the soldiers had shrunk into the sturdy buildings, and in addition to the crowds of people who had come to take refuge, these sturdy buildings were completely isolated and cordoned off in the middle of a sea of clothes. Baiyun Obo was originally just a mining area, the size of a town, there are not many people who can be plugged, and many warehouses and factories are not reliable, and in general, the shelter that these isolated islands can provide is actually very limited.
Now there are more than 600,000 people in the camp, there are already 800,000, and the remaining more than 100,000 are participating in the zombie cleanup operation at the outpost, or at the stations along the railway. Of these more than 600,000 people, Shen Lun determined in his mind that at least half of them must be saved.
"General Shen, the armored train is already under my control, please give instructions." In the communicator, Shi Mingqiang's voice looked a little tired, but at this time, Shen Lun didn't have time to be polite to him, and his gratitude could only be buried deeply.
He had the train guns and the participating artillery positions open fire on the side of the garrison, and soon the rumbling of cannons rang out, and the sharp whistling of shells tearing the air streaked across the night sky.
"Shelling, shelling..." There was a commotion on the fire front of the garrison, and in front of them, the vanguard team of mutant beasts had already rushed out of the minefield, and in the battle just now, the new battalion joined forces with them to repel these crazy animals.
That battle caused a great deal of casualties, and the fire encirclement that had just been arranged was almost torn apart. The two units have already lost more than 500 troops, and some of the recruits in the new battalions have obviously become unable to bear the psychological pressure and want to collapse.
From time to time, birds of prey will silently intersperse in the sky, take a few heads, and the mutant beasts on the ground are trying to find the weak point in the fire encirclement of two or three kilometers in a vertical and horizontal area. Seeing that the new barracks were about to get out of control, the heavy artillery support that had been called for finally arrived.
The precise shell fire turned the encirclement into a sea of fire, a spectacular and tragic scene. Then, without waiting for them to rest, a new order came again, and immediately entered the camp and opened the passage with the large army.
The tired and frightened soldiers stepped heavily on the truck, and the corpses of those killed in the battle had not had time to be cleaned up, and many of them only realized what it meant to be in war. The battalion commander and instructor of the new battalion were constantly boosting morale, even punching and kicking the crying soldiers, they didn't want to do this, but the reality did not allow anyone to retreat.
"It's time to get to the tank warehouse, what will the general do next." Shen Lun's deputy said as he looked at the map.
"You can drive as many as you can, use all the armored vehicles that can be used, and then divide into two groups and move forward alternately to clear the neighborhood." Shen Lun plans to use a new chariot to counter the mutant beast.
These new tanks are twice as large as the third-generation main battle tanks, and they don't take into account the tilted armor, and the interior is simple, with speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour and hundreds of tons of steel that even a sturdy bull monster cannot shake. The previous main battle tank, considering modern warfare, although it weighed dozens of tons and could also be used to fight mutant beasts, but the cost was too high, and sometimes it was not fierce enough. The new type of combat vehicle only considers one point, that is, power, so the main gun tube uses rifled guns with a caliber of more than 150 mm, and only one cannon can hit mutant beasts within a radius of more than ten meters. The vehicle is a repeating machine gun, which is called a machine gun because the caliber of this weapon is more than 14 mm, and it often only takes two or three rounds to kill a large mutant beast.
It's a pity that there aren't many of these vehicles, and after opening the warehouse, there are only nine that can be used, but it's a big boost, with a lot of space in the tank and an amazing amount of ammunition, even after being in a deep battle, there is no problem. The most regrettable thing is that the main cannon is not easy to use in the camp, but the three cannons on it are sufficient.
Nine steel behemoths slowly moved with a roar. At the same moment, the team led by Shen Lun also caused a reaction from the mutant beasts, and after occupying most of the camp, they gathered again and surrounded the chariot team.
The defense of the entrance to the underground combat base is also in jeopardy, in order to save the lives of as many people as possible, the soldiers have to defend the entrance to the death, and at the same time help some survivors to enter quickly, which is a lot of pressure.
