Chapter 024, Fueling Tactics

Sitting in the command headquarters, Canglong's face was expressionless, Snow Leopard and Bai Wuchang couldn't understand what Canglong was doing, 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 intelligence sent by Su Su told them that the battle situation was not optimistic.

The Heavy Armored Division is inferior to the US Army's First Armored Division in terms of quantity and quality, not to mention that the other side has an Army Aviation Brigade to cooperate in the operation.

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!" ”

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, in 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 has become an hour and a half, which makes the snow leopard, who is not mentally prepared, fight very hard, and when he arrives at the battlefield, the heavy armored division is almost completely annihilated.

And their 10,000 people's fresh force, but did not cause a change in the tide of the war, Taylor is very smart, after he came, 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, was fiercely blocked, but they had to continue the attack, the casualties were huge, and finally made a gap, all rushed in, but found that they were encircled.

Surrounded by the ground and air firepower of the 1st Armored Division, the garrison also suffered heavy casualties, but in response to the snow leopard's call for help, Canglong only replied: "I don't want to receive information, saying that "we are holding our positions and can no longer support it." You don't need to hold your ground at all, you just need to attack, and it's the Yankees who should hold your ground! ”

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

But Canglong continued to shake his head, and it wasn't until an hour and a half had passed that the 50,000 militia circled the rear according to the predetermined plan, and the rest of the troops were also sent out in an hour and a half.

By the time the last police and 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 a refueling tactic, and it is actually a tentative attack method. Fan refers to the method of attacking one by one with small forces, which is like adding oil to an oil lamp. Not enough times, but such tactics are used only by the most rubbish commanders.

Under normal circumstances, commanders do not actively resort to refueling tactics. The reason for the adoption is often that the initial grasp of the enemy's situation is insufficient or the strategic situation is misinterpreted, resulting in insufficient troops invested in the first wave of battles, unable 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. In order to achieve the objectives of the war, commanders will put troops into the battlefield before the reserves are fully assembled and effectively integrated, resulting in the same results as in the first wave of the offensive.

Therefore, Canglong used the refueling tactic and sent the troops over in batches, which was completely for the Americans to slaughter, and the only place where the refueling tactics could be used and could have an effect was in the defensive warfare with defensive positions, and the refueling tactics could play a certain role. The defending forces rely on effective fortifications to block and harass the enemy's troops in various sections, so as to achieve the objectives of delaying the enemy's attack, depleting the enemy's vital forces, and destroying the enemy's will to attack. This was evident in the street battles at Stalingrad and in the battle of the Shangganling tunnel.

However, they did not rely on sufficient defensive measures, but in the open air, they launched a confrontation with the US army, and Canglong also used the tactic of adding oil, a tactic that no commander with military common sense would use, and it was simply sent to their death.

"If you continue to play like this, more than 100,000 people will all be killed by you." Xiami already had some doubts about whether Canglong was really preparing for war, and he also suspected that he deliberately let these people sacrifice, and he was resolute in front, and it was all acted.

"Prophet, this tactic will not work at all." Aziz's tone was respectful, but still dissatisfied.

"Whether it had any effect or not, only Taylor knew, and after an hour and a half, the Air Force took the initiative to attack." As he spoke, Canglong looked at Xiami, "Let your people block the back road, and if Taylor wants to retreat, serve him with missiles." ”

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 is a miracle that 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 fought more and more, and the bigger they were, the stronger their morale became.

The reason why he ordered his troops to fight a decisive battle with Black Impermanence's heavy armored division was that he really couldn't stand the harassment of Black Impermanence, and in the end, 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 of the Prophet's army left in Basra, and the decisive battle that was about to be fought against him.

Of course, he was not wrong, this was indeed a decisive battle, but the idea of the decisive battle did not meet his 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 army, but the process was not smooth, and even the troops on the front line sent reports that the larger the force, the more tenacious it became, and there was no possibility of surrender or compromise, and the tanks were damaged, so they used human bombs against their tanks.

Countless people followed one after another, seeing that their companions in front of them were dead, but no one flinched, as if there was a force manipulating them to send them to death.

The U.S. troops were stunned, from frontal confrontation to positional warfare, as long as these Prophet soldiers were not dead, they would fight back, until the U.S. troops thought they were going to completely wipe out this force, and another force appeared.

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

Although Taylor was angry, he knew that now he was facing another problem, if he didn't destroy them, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to hit Basra, since he couldn't go to Basra without destroying them, so let's fight!

Taylor ordered an all-out attack, wanting to get rid of the battlefield completely, but what he didn't expect was that this newly joined force, 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 command headquarters, Taylor even heard his commanders say that they were already afraid.

In the U.S. military, the 1st Armored Division is notoriously insane, but now they are facing an enemy who is even crazier than them, at least they will die, but the other side will not die at all.

When he had finally besieged this force and was about to swallow it, another force appeared two hours later, and this force went around behind them and attacked, although this army was inferior in weapons than the previous one, but they all had one thing and were not afraid of death.

Moreover, the number of this army was as much as twice that of the 1st Armored Division, and by this time, almost all of his ammunition had been smashed on the two units in front, and they would soon be in an embarrassing situation without supplies.

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 troops were surrounded by a clamp, almost dividing his troops, at that moment Taylor finally understood the cleverness of the commander opposite, because now he was facing the possibility of total annihilation, or even total capture, you must know 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, pass through Basra, and transit to Kuwait, another force appeared, and at that moment the 1st Panzer Division, which was already running low on ammunition, was almost overwhelmed and could not continue at all.

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

The 1st Panzer Division can't fight them hand-to-hand without ammunition, right? It was also a good choice to go on a rampage in a tank, but after fighting for so long, Taylor's men were already tired.

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 in despair, and there was an endless stream of surrenderers.

Taylor, on the other hand, stayed straight in place, this time he didn't scold, but said calmly: "We lost in the will!" ”

He did lose in the will, although Canglong was using the tactic of adding fuel, but the terrain here is open, and their advantage is the large number of people.

If all the troops are pressed up in an instant, Taylor will see that the situation is not good, I am afraid that he will turn around and run, and let go of this predator when the time comes, Basra will inevitably have one more henchman in the future.

In order to keep him here, Canglong only added troops in waves, of course, this has another effect, stimulating the will to fight of the soldiers who are fighting, and in the face of the imminent destruction of their homeland, they will 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 is also their own
