Chapter 297: Hellfire

In the middle of the night of September 23, 3312 in the Ragnarok calendar, the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force sent a large number of powerful troops and main battle units to launch a night attack on the position of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps.

For the night attack of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, the 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps had actually made sufficient preparations, and tens of thousands of flares had been prepared.

What's more, even at night, the 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps can be supported by the fire of 3 artillery divisions.

The three artillery divisions of the Jinlongcheng Garrison Corps belong to the standard artillery divisions of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, and the whole division is equipped with 60 210mm howitzers, 120 155mm howitzers and 240 105mm howitzers, with a strength of about 20,000 people.

If you add the artillery units of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps, the firepower can be called terrifying.

However, in the face of the night attack troops of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, which were mainly powerful troops, the position of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps was still torn apart.

"Bang-" Xia Yonggang, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps, slapped the table fiercely, "How did Liu Jian do it!"

Let him have to plug the gap for Lao Tzu! ”

Liu Jian, mentioned by Xia Yonggang, was the brigade commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division, and the night attack force of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force broke through from the position defended by the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division.

Shi Zhihong, deputy commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, said with a very ugly face at this time: "Old Xia, it seems that we still underestimate the powerful troops of the Totem Alliance.

According to the report of the 1st Infantry Brigade, the giant warriors and loxondron warriors of the Totem Alliance are difficult to kill even with anti-tank rifles and machine guns.

Now that the position has been broken through by the other side, it will not be easy to take it back, after all, once a white-knuckle battle begins, our soldiers are not opponents at all. ”

Division Commander Xia Yonggang immediately said categorically: "Immediately let the tank battalion of the division headquarters, as well as the three tank battalions under the jurisdiction of the three infantry brigades, launch a counterattack on the lost position."

If our division's position can't be defended, the entire Golden Dragon City's outer defense system will completely collapse! ”

Shi Zhihong, the deputy division commander, frowned and said: "But the lost position is located on the mountain beam, and it is difficult to succeed if the armored troops are responsible for the counterattack, so I think it is better to let the troops retreat to the second-line position and continue to hold on." ”

As soon as Shi Zhihong's words fell, the phone on the table in front of Division Commander Xia Yonggang suddenly rang, and Division Commander Xia Yonggang immediately picked up the microphone, and the voice of Liu Erga, the commander of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps, came from inside.

"Xia Yonggang, immediately order the troops in the first-line positions of your division to retreat to the second-line positions, and I will let the 3 artillery divisions provide artillery cover."

"Army commander, the first-line position has only been lost a few hundred meters, and our 2nd Infantry Division is confident that it will recapture the position!"

"Xia Yonggang, carry out the order!

If you lose the second-line position again, you, the division commander, don't have to do it! ”

After Liu Erga said this, he hung the microphone on the landline, at this time Liu Erga's face was ugly, but he assured in front of the emperor that the various departments of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Legion were ready to prepare for the night attack of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force.

As a result, at night, the frontal position defended by the 2nd Infantry Division was easily broken through by the troops of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force.

This face hit is simply a snap.

Wang Zhong, the commander of the Third Group Army of the Shuodong Military Region, opened his mouth at this time and comforted Liu Erga: "Brother Liu, we don't know much about the army of the Totem Alliance.

I didn't expect that the powerful troops of the Totem Alliance would be so strong in combat, especially those giant warriors and elephant warriors, who were comparable to humanoid tanks, and it was normal to suffer a little loss.

I suggest driving the tanks directly into the position and using the tank guns against the powerful troops of the Totem Alliance, and the battle defense artillery must also be effective against the heavily armored giant warriors and loxondron warriors. ”

Liu Erga said a little depressedly: "Let Brother Wang laugh, I do underestimate the powerful troops of the Totem Alliance." ”

Then Liu Erga turned his head and said to Li Tianshun, the deputy commander of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps: "Lao Li, you call Xia Yonggang again, and ask him to arrange the tank on the second-line position, and put more anti-aircraft guns on the second-line position."

I don't want to say a word to Xia Yonggang now!

He patted his chest and assured me that it was absolutely foolproof, absolutely foolproof.

As a result, the position was torn open with a charge. ”

Deputy Army Commander Li Tianshun said with a wry smile: "We can't all blame Xia Yonggang, the combat effectiveness of those powerful forces of the Totem Alliance is indeed underestimated by us." ”

The 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps, using a large number of tanks and battle defense guns, blocked the night attack of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, which was dominated by powerful troops, in the second-line position.

Those heavily armored giant warriors and elephant warriors, even if they still have steel shields in their hands that can cover their whole bodies, they cannot withstand the armor-piercing shells of tank guns and battle defense guns.

However, then Pao Rovarig, the deputy commander of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, directly sent 50,000 pig warriors, 50,000 sheep warriors, 50,000 dog warriors and 50,000 deer warriors to launch a tidal offensive against the second-line positions of the 2nd Infantry Division.

In the face of the attack of the 200,000 auxiliary troops of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, even if the 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps was supported by the other 4 independent brigades, they were still rushed into the position by the 4 tribes of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force.

Seeing this, Pao Rovarig, the deputy commander of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, immediately dispatched heavy infantry from the Lion, Tiger, Bear, and Ox tribes, waiting for an opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

At this moment, the two armored divisions of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps swept from the two flanks of the second line position of the 2nd Infantry Division towards the attack force of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force.

At present, the armored divisions of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires are still mainly equipped with German Tiger heavy tanks and German No. 4 G tanks, in addition to a large number of armored vehicles and self-propelled guns, as well as a large number of cars and towing ****** troops of the Alliance.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the gradual dawn of the sky, the deputy commander of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, Pao Rovarig, saw that it was almost dawn, so he did not continue to send additional troops to join the attack, and also gave the order to retreat to the troops that were attacking in front.

Although they finally repelled the attack of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, the army commander Liu Erga and the deputy army commander Li Tianshun were not happy.

In one night's fighting, not only the 2nd Infantry Division, as well as the 19th, 27th, 28th, and 29th Separate Brigades, were almost disabled, but even the two armored divisions suffered very heavy losses.

In the face of the attack of the 2 armored divisions, the army of the Totem Alliance is not helpless, especially the wizards of the Totem Alliance who can use high-level fire and lightning witchcraft, which can be called the nemesis of tanks.

Zhou Rui did not stay in Golden Dragon City that night, but returned to the Heavenly Saint City of the Han and Tang Empires with Princess Dai Bona.

When Zhou Rui received Liu Erga's battle report back to Tiansheng City, Zhou Rui immediately summoned several high-ranking military officials in Tiansheng City, including Zhou Xiaorong, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, Huang Zhigang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, Xiang Tao, commander of the Tongzhou Military Region, and Li Dongbao, commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Military Region.

Xiang Tao and Li Dongbao came to report on their work in the Heavenly Holy City, and Huang Zhigang, one of the earliest personal bodyguards by Zhou Rui's side, was transferred from the army to the air force by Zhou Rui and became the first official commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires.

"This is the situation on the other side of Golden Dragon City, what do you have suggestions for the war in Golden Dragon City?" Zhou Rui asked Zhou Xiaorong, Huang Zhigang, Xiang Tao, and Li Dongbao in a deep voice.

Zhou Xiaorong put down the battle report in his hand, frowned and said, "Those powerful troops of the Totem Alliance, the personal combat power is too strong.

In addition to the main combat arms of the Totem Alliance, and even the auxiliary troops, all of them are not afraid of death, it seems that our Han and Tang Empires have a difficult enemy in the magical world.

I suggest that the logistics department immediately purchase more tanks and anti-aircraft guns, as well as anti-tank rifles and machine guns, for the defenders of Golden Dragon City.

Maybe in this battle to defend the Golden Dragon City, we have to be prepared for a long-term battle. ”

Xiang Tao then said: "Your Majesty, in the country over there in the magic world, there is not only one totem alliance.

I suggest that more troops be mobilized from the area around Heavenly Saint City and start a battle of annihilation outside the Golden Dragon City, even if it is worth paying some price.

This can not only deter the Totem Alliance, but also several other countries on the other side of the magical world. ”

Li Dongbao echoed: "Your Majesty, I also think that we should take the initiative to attack and teach those beast cubs of the Totem Alliance a hard lesson."

As long as those beast cubs are hurt, the Totem Alliance will not dare to reach out to Golden Dragon City again. ”

Xiang Tao and Li Dongbao's words just spoke to Zhou Rui's heart.

Nowadays, the Han and Tang Empires only have tens of millions of standing troops, and if necessary, they can expand hundreds of millions of troops in a short time, and if they have enough time, it is not difficult to expand hundreds of millions of troops.

Although the totem alliance composed of orcs in the Continent of the Gods is very strong, and the combined population of each beast clan even exceeds 1.2 billion, with the current strength of the Han and Tang Empires, they are not afraid of the totem alliance.

Even the strongest class of the Totem Alliance can still be killed by artillery.

Of course, if the Han and Tang Empires really started a full-scale war with the Totem Alliance, the price paid by the Han and Tang Empires for this will be very huge.

However, the sacrifice caused by the total annihilation of a totem alliance expeditionary force was definitely bearable by the Han and Tang Empires.

Huang Zhigang suddenly said at this time: "Your Majesty, this expeditionary force of the Totem Alliance has already killed four or five thousand Golden Eagle soldiers by our air force.

According to Princess Dai Baina, there are less than 100,000 Golden Eagle Warriors in the entire Totem Alliance, and I don't think there are too many Golden Eagle Warriors in this Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force.

Since our air force has already killed four or five thousand Golden Eagle soldiers, then I estimate that there will be a few thousand Golden Eagle soldiers at most.

I suggest that more bombers and fighters be sent to Golden Dragon City immediately, and all the gasoline incendiary bombs stored in Heavenly Saint City should be sent to Golden Dragon City. ”

Gasoline incendiary bombs have actually been developed by the Han and Tang Empires for a long time, and even before the war with the Nine Events Alliance, the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires had a large number of gasoline incendiary bombs in stock.

However, because the power of gasoline incendiary bombs is somewhat vicious, and the army of the Han and Tang Empires has always occupied an advantage on the battlefield, Zhou Rui has never approved the use of gasoline incendiary bombs in the Royal Air Force.

After the gasoline incendiary bomb explodes, it will form a layer of flame and splash around, emitting a high temperature of about 1,000 degrees, and can stick to the object and burn for a long time.

If a gasoline incendiary bomb explodes and splashes on a person, it will be like lard paste, sticky and burn-resistant, and if a person uses his hands to slap it, the fire will grow bigger and bigger, and if it rolls on the ground to extinguish the fire, it will make the whole body on fire.

Because of the hard struggle of the person on fire, it is easy to throw the burning oil on the bystanders, forming a secondary kill.

For those who have been injured by gasoline incendiary bombs, it can be said that death is the greatest relief.

Hearing Huang Zhigang mention the use of gasoline incendiary bombs against the Totem Alliance's expeditionary force, Zhou Rui's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "First transport all the gasoline incendiary bombs stored in Heavenly Saint City to Golden Dragon City."

If there are not enough bombers and fighters on the side of Golden Dragon City, the fighters from several military airports around Tiansheng City will be transferred over. ”

On the afternoon of September 24, 3312 in the Ragnarok calendar, 1,000 American B-25 medium-range bombers, under the cover of 1,000 German BF109 fighters, launched a carpet bombing of the camp of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force.

In this bombing, 1,000 American B-25 medium-range bombers were equipped with a lot of gasoline incendiary bombs.

Seeing the power of the gasoline incendiary bomb, the seventeenth prince Nicolai and the deputy commander of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, Pao, both showed a look of horror.

"O beast god! It's hellfire! This must be hellfire!

General Pao, we must retreat quickly! "The seventeenth prince, Nikolai, was already frightened and turned pale.

Pao couldn't keep his composure now, "Your Highness, it seems that you can only retreat."

The power of this flame is so terrifying that it can't be extinguished with water, but it burns more and more. ”

When the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force began to retreat, the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps and the armored forces of the Third Army of the Shuodong Military Region began to take advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit.

Zhou Rui also didn't expect that the expeditionary force of the Totem Alliance would collapse directly under the first wave of gasoline incendiary bombs, otherwise the troops of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps and the Third Army of the Shuodong Military Region would have taken a joint encirclement posture in advance.

Pao, the deputy commander of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, found that the human army was in pursuit, and immediately decided to leave tens of thousands of auxiliary troops to break off.

In the end, the main force of the Totem Alliance Expeditionary Force, with the help of darkness, the fighters of the Han and Tang Empires could not continue to fight in the air, and got rid of the pursuit of the Han and Tang armies.

The tens of thousands of auxiliary troops left behind were eaten by the Jinlongcheng Garrison Corps and the armored troops of the Third Army of the Shuodong Military Region.
