Chapter 469: The Decisive Battle is Coming
Remember [Chinese Network] in one second, and provide you with high-speed text debut. On the morning of the twelfth day of the war, the armies of Tours and Youssef were attacked by Fakhra's endless artillery for more than ten consecutive days, which made the commanders of Tours and Youssef feel extremely helpless, and the war has now become a war of attrition, one side is the consumption of human lives, the other side is the consumption of shells, it depends on which side is now consumed first.
In the past twelve days of fighting, the morale of the soldiers has been constantly decreasing, but Tur and Yusuf have no way, seeing that his battalion commander has prepared the next attacking force, Tur cheered up, patted the battalion commander on the shoulder and said: "Today their artillery fire is already much weaker, and there is a chance to rush forward and attack the first fortress." ”
Tur's own unbelief in this said, he didn't fight for 12 days, and he only relied on a battalion commander with a thousand people, how could he be defeated?
However, Tur did not expect that the battalion commander under his command was very face-saving, and the battalion commander replied loudly: "Yes, sir, I promise to complete the task." ”
The battalion commander shouted loudly, but he thought in his heart, wipe you, let Lao Tzu take this thousand people to build a fortress for you, why don't you let the donkey kiss his ass, if the donkey can kiss it, Lao Tzu promises to beat it down for you, and as long as the cannon sounds in a while, Lao Tzu will run back.
Just as Tours and Yusuf mechanically sent troops to attack the fortress again, the battalion commander rushed forward with 1,000 soldiers.
In fact, there is no need for the battalion commander to take the lead in running, and now the battalion commander's rights can no longer control the small soldiers, as long as they hear the artillery fire, they don't need the battalion commander to issue an order, and these small soldiers know to run back.
Just when the thousands of soldiers were about to flee as soon as they heard the artillery fire, the thousands of soldiers found that they had unconsciously attacked the fortress less than 1,000 meters.
The battalion commander who was responsible for leading the attack was repulsed by artillery no less than a hundred times during the twelve-day offensive, but. He relied on his super fast running speed to survive, but the battalion commander was already frightened and frightened of the fortress.
I thought to myself, could it be that this time the fortress was ready to annihilate all of our 1,000 people, otherwise how could we be put in a position less than 1,000 meters and not fight.
When he entered the distance of 500 meters with trepidation, at this distance, a person with accurate marksmanship could already shoot at the soldiers in the fortress.
Just when the battalion commander didn't know what to do, thousands of tongues of fire suddenly erupted from inside the fortress, and the soldiers brought by the battalion commander were all knocked to the ground as if they were cutting wheat in an instant.
When the gunshots rang out inside the fortress. The first reaction of the battalion commander, who had been hiding in the rear command, was that this was not a gunshot, but the sound of a shell, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Get down, the shells are coming again." ”
The battalion commander had already figured out that after the first wave of shelling, there would be a 2-minute reloading interval, and as soon as the shells were finished, he would run away.
However, the battalion commander lay on the ground and waited for more than ten minutes, but did not wait for a single shell, but the soldiers on the front line all lay on the ground because of his wrong command. Hundreds of people were killed by the heavy machine guns of the fortress.
Seeing this situation, the battalion commander couldn't figure it out, and thought in his heart, what is the situation. How did this fortress change its routine, didn't it use artillery, how did it change to a heavy machine gun, suddenly a thought surprised the battalion commander. Emerging from the head of the battalion commander, the battalion commander excitedly thought that it could not be that they had no shells.
Come to think of it. The battalion commander commanded the army to launch another tentative attack, and found that the fortress was still using heavy machine guns instead of artillery, and the battalion commander was full of surprise that the fortress was just without shells.
Since the position of 1,000 meters from the fortress began, and the continuous shelling of these twelve days caused this distance to not have time to dig a trench, and the soldiers rushed forward to have no meaning other than to send them to death, so the battalion commander immediately retreated with his troops and went back to report the good news to Tours and Yusuf.
Although Tur and Yusuf, who had been observing the attack on the fortress, saw that their men were beaten back again, this time, the two were pleasantly surprised to find that the battalion commander's two attacks on Fakhra's fortress did not fire a single shell, but only used heavy machine guns to defend, which shows that Fakhra's fortress finally has no shells.
This made both of them excited and uncontrollable, and after twelve consecutive days of fighting, both of them were almost wiped out by Fakhra's cannonballs.
Now seeing that Fakhra's cannonballs have finally run out, the two know that the time for revenge has finally come, and the high-spirited Yusuf and Tur glanced at each other, and Tur sneered and said: "Brother, after enduring it for so long, it is finally time for us to take revenge, we have to surprise Fakhra." ”
Yusuf, who was eager to kill Fakhra alive, heard Tur's words, and also sneered and said: "Yes, I want Yusuf to know what the real war is." After speaking, the two quickly walked out of the camp and mobilized the troops to launch a final attack.
In the battle just now, the soldiers of the two also saw that the fortress was without shells, and they didn't need to mobilize Tur and Yusuf, and their blood swelled.
These twelve days of fighting made these soldiers suffocated, watching the robes around them being killed by shells one by one, their hearts were full of anger, and after knowing that the fortress had no shells, they roared for revenge.
However, what they didn't know was that inside the fortress, Hailong was looking at the enemy's troops with a sneer with Makako Fukuda, Lilian, Fakhra and Cheng Yulong.
Cheng Yulong's troops officially regained 100 percent combat effectiveness after five days of rest, and on the first day the troops arrived at the seaside port, heavy artillery, rocket artillery, and radar communication devices had already been transported into the fortress one step ahead.
Only 300 Type 99 tanks and 100 T-90 tanks in Zhang Rang's hands remained in the base camp of Cheng Yulong's three troops, ready to set off together at any time.
After Cheng Yulong and the three of them reported to Hailong that their subordinates were ready to fight, Hailong immediately took Cheng Yulong's troops to the fortress, the other party attacked for 12 days, and the soldiers were exhausted, but their morale was at their peak, and they waited for work and rested in place for 5 days.
When he was about to reach the fortress, Hilong, who was sitting in the car, heard a fierce exchange of fire in front of him. Lilian and Fukuda Makako, who were sitting next to Hilong, couldn't help but feel nervous, although the two pretended to be very calm on the surface, but this kind of test of blood and fire at any time was not something that the two could bear, and the pale faces of the two had already betrayed their hearts.
Seeing the appearance of his two wives, Hailong held the hands of the two and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, follow me closely, you two will be fine." ”
When he came, Hailong did not let the two girls follow. But when the two girls heard that Hailong asked them to stay in the base camp, Hailong went to the battlefield alone with the troops, and the two resolutely disagreed, so they almost forced each other to die.
But on the way here, Hilong found a problem, which made Hilong's brow furrow all the time and not stretch out. During the morning battle, Helong found that not a single shell had been fired from Fakhra's fortress.
After Cheng Yulong's troops arrived, Hailong first asked Shan Cheng to escort 500 artillery pieces and hundreds of thousands of shells into the fortress.
It can be said that there are at least 600 artillery pieces of various types in the fortress now, but when Hilong listens to the gunfire of "ping-pong" on the front line, why can't he hear the explosion of a shell falling to the ground.
Could it be that something happened to the artillery unit. However, Hailong did not receive information from Fakhra that the artillery unit had an accident, and along the way, Hailong's brows did not relax.
When he came to the fortress, he saw Fakhra standing at the gate of the fortress to greet him. Helong nodded, letting Fakhra lead the way, after entering the command center of the fortress. Helong frowned and said: "Fakhra, what's going on in today's battle, I gave you so many artillery and ammunition, why don't you use a single shot, is there something wrong with the artillery unit?" ”
When Fakhra saw Helong, he found that Helong had been frowning all the time, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking that he had done something wrong in his 12-day command.
Hearing Hailong's question, Fakhra remembered that he had forgotten to report his plan to his master when he was in a fight, so he hurriedly reported his plan to Helong.
Hearing Fakhra's words, and then using the telescope to look at the way Tours and Yusuf were preparing for a decisive battle, Helong couldn't help but admire Fakhra's plan very much.
After praising Fakhra a few words, Helong announced in front of everyone that Fakhra had become the supreme commander of the battle, and everyone, including himself, had to obey Fakhra's orders.
Fakhra humbly knelt in front of Helong again, and said excitedly: "Thank you for the master's trust in Fakhra, Fakhra will definitely live up to his trust." ”
Helong nodded, picked up Fakhra with his own hands, and said, "From now on, you are the supreme commander, fight according to your ideas." ”
Fakhra bowed gratefully again, took out the map, pointed to the location of the fortress and assigned the task to the group, Fakhra Fortress stood between two mountains, blocking the only access from Somaliland and Puntland to Lilian's base camp.
If you want to enter Lilian's base camp, you have to pass through this fortress, and after so many days of fighting, under the deliberate command of Fakhra, the artillery unit has destroyed the mountains on both sides of the protective fortress.
Although the falling stones kept Tours and Yusuf's troops out of the pass and blocked Tours and Yusuf for a night, it also exposed the entire southern side of the fortress to the troops of Tours and Yusuf.
Originally, Yusuf and Tur were still scolding Fakhra for his shamelessness, but when the two ordered their men to quickly clear the rocks, they looked up and were pleasantly surprised to find that the south side of the fortress was actually exposed in front of them.
This made Tours and Yusuf ridicule Fakhra in the underground fortifications for not understanding war, and the fortress that could only be attacked by a few thousand men at the same time can now be attacked by at least 20,000 people at the same time.
But how did Tours and Yusuf know that the reason why Fakhra did this was not because he didn't know how to fight at all, and Fakhra's ultimate goal was actually to reserve enough space for the tank troops to operate in the event of a counteroffensive.
Tur and Yusuf, who were ignorant of all this, stood on a hill five kilometers away from the fortress, and the proud Tur looked at the smoky blue-black fortress in front of him with binoculars, and said to Yusuf with a sneer: "Within two days, this fortress will definitely be attacked by us, and when I catch Fakhra, I will definitely put him in the desert and let the scorching sun roast him alive." ”
Looking at the fortress in front of him, which was not covered by the side mountain, Yusuf said with the same resentment: "That's right, we must not spare Fakhra, I must tie him to a dead tree in the desert with my own hands." ”
Yusuf controls Puntland, and Fakhra's family was the big family in Puntland, and because Yusuf was persecuted, he wandered around looking for revenge. (To be continued......)
