Chapter 238: Pause

"Boom-boom-"

Countless shells fell on the position of the 2612 Regiment of the Jingzhou Army, and the dust that blew up almost shrouded the entire position.

However, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the 2612 Regiment of the Jingzhou Army were basically hiding in the bunker under the fortifications at this time, and such a fierce artillery bombardment did not bring any losses to the 2612 Regiment.

Today is October 28, 1545, and the four orc national armies gathered in the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire finally launched an attack on the border defense line of the Zhou family army in Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, and Lanzhou Town.

Sun Liang, the commander of the 2612th Regiment of the Jingzhou Army, who was staying in a bunker, shouted into the phone: "Please rest assured, division commander!"

Even if there is only one person left in our regiment, we will definitely be able to hold the position!

Never let an orc step into our regiment's position! โ€

The voice of Gao Chengliang, commander of the 26th Infantry Division of the Jingzhou Army, came from the phone, "Sun Liang, the position of your regiment, because of the terrain, is likely to become the focus of the enemy's attack.

Once your regiment's position is tight, you kid must not stand up, you must report to the division headquarters immediately.

This time, our 26th Infantry Division is equipped with 8 garrison regiments as reserves, and if necessary, our 26th Infantry Division can also apply for more reinforcements. โ€

Gao Chengliang, the commander of the 26th Infantry Division, was originally a soldier in the guard battalion of the garrison brigade of Ganyang City.

Zhou Rui once transferred 16 soldiers from the guard battalion of the Ganyang City Garrison Brigade as his own guard, and Gao Chengliang was one of those 16 soldiers.

As the scale of the Zhou family's army continued to expand, Gao Chengliang also rose to the top, and now he is the commander of an infantry division.

"Division commander, if our regiment's position is tight, I will definitely not be polite to you."

"Sun Liang, in this defensive battle, we must not only consume the enemy's vital strength, but also preserve ourselves.

You are now a regimental commander, remember that your position should be at the regimental headquarters, don't lead people to rush to the forward position at every turn, do you hear? โ€

"Yes, Commander."

When the artillery units of the four beast countries launched an artillery bombardment, thousands of fighters from the Golden Lion Empire, the Black Bear Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire also began to attack the border defense lines of Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, and Lanzhou Town.

Since the appearance of the Zhou family's air force, the six beast nations have invested huge sums of money and began to build their own fighters.

This time, the armies of the Golden Lion, Black Bear, and Flying Leopard entered the Violet Province and Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, all carrying some domestically made fighters and bombers.

On the side of Zhou Jiajun, in the border areas of Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, and Lanzhou Town, 8 air regiments equipped with British camel fighters and 6 air regiments equipped with Italian CA.36 bombers were fully arranged.

According to the establishment of the Zhoujia Air Force, each air regiment has 108 fighters and has three flight groups under its jurisdiction, each of which is composed of three flight squadrons, and each flight squadron has 12 combat aircraft.

When the fighters of the four orc nations attacked, eight air regiments equipped with British camel fighters immediately took to the skies to meet them, and the world's first large-scale air battle broke out.

Among the fighters of the four beast countries, the fighter of the Golden Lion Empire is the most advanced, with a maximum level flight speed of 120 kilometers per hour, a maximum ceiling of 3,000 meters, a endurance of 1.5 hours, and two 8mm machine guns.

However, compared with the British camel fighter of the Zhou Air Force, this fighter of the Golden Lion Empire is lagging behind in all aspects, and as a result, the first large-scale air battle that broke out in this world has formed a one-sided situation.

As a pilot of a camel fighter, Li Zhongqiang was also very nervous when he encountered an enemy fighter plane in the sky for the first time.

Moreover, Li Zhongqiang only has one squadron of the Zhou Air Force, that is, 12 camel fighters, but the enemy's Black Bear Empire fighters are at least 25 or more.

However, after the fighters of the two sides fought, Li Zhongqiang found that the other party was really weak, and in less than ten minutes of air combat, Li Zhongqiang easily shot down 3 fighters of the Black Bear Empire with his skillful piloting skills.

When Li Zhongqiang wanted to look for the target again, he found that there was no enemy fighter plane in the sky.

Later, Li Zhongqiang piloted the plane and regrouped in the air with the other camel fighters of the squadron, and at this time Li Zhongqiang found that the 12 camel fighters of his squadron had not lost any of them in the previous air battle.

Immediately after that, more than a dozen bombers of the Black Bear Empire appeared in the sky in the distance, so 12 camel fighters immediately met them and began a massacre.

Although the dispatch of fighters did not achieve any desired results, but was beaten by the Zhou air force and suffered heavy losses, the land forces of the four beast countries were not affected, and under the cover of artillery fire, they still launched a full-line charge.

The 26th Infantry Division of the Jingzhou Army attacked the position of the 22nd Group Army and the 37th Group Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, and these two group armies really put the focus of the attack on the position where the 2612th Regiment was stationed, as Gao Chengliang, the commander of the 26th Infantry Division, expected.

The position of the 2612th Regiment is relatively gentle, except for the trenches and reinforced concrete pillboxes built by the 2612th Regiment, which can almost be called unsafe.

So the two armies of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, with more than a thousand infantry and 12 medium tanks from the very beginning, launched a fierce attack on the positions of the 2612 regiment.

This medium tank manufactured by the Silver Wolf Empire weighs 20 tons, has armor thickness of 15 mm to 50 mm, has a maximum road speed of 20 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 80 kilometers, and has one 50 mm tank gun and one 8 mm machine gun.

It's a pity that these 12 medium tanks just approached the position of the 2612 regiment, and they were named one by one by the 6 50-mm anti-tank guns of the 2612 regiment.

Losing the cover of the tank, more than a thousand charging wolf clan officers and soldiers were quickly beaten down in the face of the dense fire of the 2612 regiment, but only about half of what could be retreated.

Rohot, the commander of the 22nd Group Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, put down the binoculars with a gloomy face, turned his head to Safm, the commander of the 37th Group Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, and said: "Sure enough, as we imagined, the Zhou family army is equipped with a lot of anti-tank weapons. โ€

The commander of the 37th Army, Safm, then said: "There were no tanks before, and it was not the same as the war.

Even if you fill it with human life, you have to open a breakthrough! โ€

Rohot, the commander of the 22nd Group Army, sighed at this time, "The Zhou family army has arranged a total of three lines of defense, I don't know how much our two group armies will have to pay to break through these three lines of defense?" โ€

Sun Liang, the commander of the 2612 Regiment of the Jingzhou Army, if he hears the words of the two group army commanders of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, he will definitely tell these two group army commanders, you think too much!

After the armies of the four beast countries launched a full-scale attack on the border defense lines of the Zhou army in Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, and Lanzhou Town, the 22nd Army and the 37th Group Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire stormed for 3 days at any cost, but still did not break through the position of the 2612th Regiment.

As for the other positions of the 26th Infantry Division of the Jingzhou Army, these two group armies of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire did not break through.

The only thing that made the commanders of the two group armies feel relieved was that on a front that stretched for thousands of kilometers, the land forces of the four orc countries did not make any progress in the three-day offensive.

In this way, the two armies of them are not ashamed.

At the joint headquarters of the four nations army located in Celt City, Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, the second deputy minister of the War Department of the Golden Lion Empire, Luo Fika, said to the commanders of the other three countries in a deep voice: "In just three days, the combined land forces of our four spirit nations have killed and injured nearly one million people.

However, it did not achieve any results, and did not even break through any position of the first line of defense of the Zhou army.

You must know that there are a total of three defense lines built by the Zhou family army, how many troops does our army of the four countries have, which can be consumed on these three defense lines? โ€

Uriyan, the first deputy head of the War Department of the Black Bear Empire, Luka, the first deputy minister of the War Department of the Silver Wolf Empire, and Fajet, the second deputy minister of the War Department of the Flying Leopard Empire, all showed very solemn faces at this time.

This time, in order to attack the northern front of the Zhou family's army, the Silver Wolf Empire gathered about 6 million troops, the Golden Lion Empire gathered 3 million troops, the Black Bear Empire gathered about 4 million troops, and the Flying Leopard Empire gathered about 2 million troops, totaling up to 15 million.

In addition, the four orc nations also gathered more than 1,000 fighters and more than 2,000 tanks, hoping to break through the three fortifications set up by the Zhou army on the northern front in one go.

However, after three days of onslaught, the armies of the four orc nations not only did not achieve any results, but suffered nearly a million casualties, more than eighty percent of the fighters, and nearly half of the tanks.

Wu Liyang, the first deputy chief of the Army Department of the Black Bear Empire, hesitated for a moment and said, "The Zhou family army has used the past few months to build very strong fortifications in the places where the northern front can be attacked.

After losing air supremacy and superiority in artillery fire, no matter how brave the officers and men of our four armies are, it will be difficult for them to rely on their flesh and blood to break through the positions heavily guarded by the opposing side.

It is best to equip our army of the four countries with more tanks, especially heavy tanks, light tanks and medium tanks with heavy armor, which are not enough to withstand the anti-aircraft artillery of the Zhou army. โ€

Luca, the First Deputy Minister of the War Department of the Silver Wolf Empire, followed up and said, "Air supremacy is also very important.

If it had not been for the loss of air supremacy, the artillery units of our four-nation armies would not have been beaten so badly.

We need more fighters and bombers, and by the way, anti-aircraft weapons with a longer range. โ€

After the Zhou family's air force seized air supremacy, it often dispatched heavy bombers and camel fighters with bombs to bomb the opponent's artillery units.

In addition, the Zhou family's air force will also transmit the specific location of the enemy's artillery positions detected to the artillery of the Zhou family's army to carry out accurate covering artillery bombardment.

The Second Deputy Minister of the War Department of the Flying Leopard Empire, Fajit, frowned and asked, "Listening to the tone of the three generals, are they preparing to stop this attack?" โ€

Luo Fika, the second deputy minister of the War Department of the Golden Lion Empire, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If we continue to fight like this, it is almost equivalent to sending the officers and soldiers of our four armies to death in vain.

It is better to stop the offensive first and let the countries replenish us with more warplanes, tanks and artillery.

Anyway, I have already ordered all the units of our Royal Army of the Golden Lion Empire on the front line to temporarily stop attacking. โ€

The expression of the first deputy chief of the Black Bear Empire's War Department, Uriyan, was still a little hesitant, "But once the attack is stopped, the public opinion in our four countries will immediately be able to suppress a few of us who will be out of breath." โ€

Luca, the first deputy minister of the War Department of the Silver Wolf Empire, said at this time: "I am in favor of suspending the offensive.

If we continue to fight so hard, the casualties will be more and more serious, and the pressure of public opinion will be even greater at that time. โ€

In the early morning of November 1, Sun Liang, the commander of the 2612 Regiment of the Jingzhou Army, was discussing with the deputy commander Yu Ji about re-arming.

In the three-day offensive, the position of the 2612 Regiment was the focus of the attack of the two groups of armies of the Silver Wolf Empire's Royal Army, so the losses were also very large, and the 2612 Regiment had been reduced by about one-third, leaving only more than 2,000 people.

However, last night, division commander Gao Chengliang sent reinforcements from 2612 infantry battalions to the 2612 regiment, which came from two garrison regiments.

Because it was wartime, according to the regulations of the Zhou family, each garrison regiment would be expanded to more than 3,000 people, under the jurisdiction of 5 infantry battalions, 1 baggage company, 1 machine gun company and 1 guard company, each infantry battalion was about 500 people.

With the reinforcements of 2 infantry battalions, the strength of the 2612th Regiment was restored to its pre-battle level.

"Jingle bellโ€”"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Sun Liang and Yu Ji's train of thought.

Sun Liang picked up the phone, and the voice of Gao Chengliang, commander of the 26th Infantry Division of the Jingzhou Army, came from inside, "Is it Sun Liang?" โ€

"Commander, it's me."

"I'll tell you good news, the Orc army of the Four Kingdoms that launched an attack on the border defense line of Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, and Lanzhou Town has fully retreated."

When Sun Liang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Commander, let's win the battle so quickly?" โ€

"Don't take it lightly, although the Orc army of the Four Nations has retreated now, it doesn't mean that they won't attack again.

The two infantry battalions that were replenished to your regiment last night will be officially allocated to your regiment to replenish the previous losses.

Your regiment should take advantage of the interlude in the attack of the Orc Army of the Four Kingdoms to seize the time to repair the damaged fortifications. โ€

Sun Liang hurriedly said at this time: "Division commander, I won't mention other requests to you, but can you add a few more anti-tank guns and some shells to our regiment."

During the previous 3 days of fighting, 4 of the 6 anti-tank guns of our regiment were blown up, and only 50 shells remained. โ€

The division commander Gao Chengliang groaned for a while and said: "You can replenish your regiment with 2 50-mm anti-tank guns and 100 rounds of 50-mm armor-piercing shells."

In addition, you will be replenished with 6 30-mm anti-aircraft guns, which can be used not only for anti-aircraft and flat fire, but also against tanks, especially light tanks. โ€
