Chapter 1162: Liang County Resistance Battle (9)

The fierce fighting that lasted for four days not only cost the coalition forces dearly, but Oka, as the commander-in-chief of the communist coalition forces, was also shocked into a cold sweat by the four days of fierce fighting.

In the past three days, the communist allied forces have not taken a single step forward, and the battle line has always been stuck three to five miles north of Liang County, unable to advance a single step, which is an unprecedented combat example. Oka couldn't believe that humans could still resist for four days in hand-to-hand combat.

"It's unbelievable that they resisted for three days, and so far we haven't moved forward."

At this time, Admiral Masacolo of the Alliance of Aft said:

"Cross still needs 20,000 reinforcements, as long as he is given to him, the alien beast will be finished."

"He has more than 50,000 men in his hands, and the ship has no more troops to give him, and the 20,000 men he wants must be drawn from other landing sites, do you want me to let sailors go ashore as infantry?"

"But now that Cross has suffered heavy casualties, he has no ability to continue the offensive if he can't give him reinforcements. And we don't know at all how many alien animal elites appear in the front, Cross judged that they have at least 200,000 infantry equipped with automatic weapons, and they are gathering and standby, constantly replenishing troops to the battlefield, if it is such a comparison of strength, Cross will have no chance of winning.

Other landing sites may also be attacked by elite infantry from foreign animals, and we will be more passive at that point. ”

"If there are 200,000 alien animal elites in front of you, what is the point of the key hot bomb four days ago?"

As far as the power of the key thermal explosion bomb is concerned, it can only be regarded as a tactical weapon of mass destruction, with a radius of three kilometers and a diameter of six to seven kilometers, destroying all living forces in a defense system of the size of a modern division, and this kind of damage is enough to tear a gap in the defense line that is more than seven or eight kilometers wide, thereby breaking into the enemy's body and cutting off the connection between the two wings.

However, the key thermal bomb four days ago did not meet tactical expectations, and even if it landed on the coalition position, such casualties would not be enough to immediately destroy the defense system of the Xian army, and as long as Liangxian and its two flanks were held, it would still be impossible to break through from the front in a short time.

Unless this explosive bomb falls directly on Bai Liyan himself, the core command center is destroyed, and the coalition forces will collapse.

After thinking for a long time, Oka continued what he had just finished saying:

"Let's get Cross out for now."

"This time it's all in vain."

Kusa reminded, but Oka said:

"Our stated strategic goal is to seize the port, which is just a gap in attracting their forces. Now that we have suffered a major setback, we cannot continue to throw our troops here without limit. ”

The landing of the Vortex Bull Beach and the attack on Liang County are largely for tactical purposes, just to surprise and attract more human forces to this place, so as to provide strategic operation space for opening Tianyun Port and Jinye Port.

The expansion of the assault on Liang County was largely due to the fact that more human elites had gathered here, and the war went fairly smoothly at first, until the reinforcements of the Xian army changed the situation.

Now Oka intends to regain his previous strategic goals, and Liang County has been unable to break through for a long time, obviously exceeding the strategic bottom line he can bear. But he was not going to stop there, and he swore to Cusa:

"I think I've got a way."

"What's the solution?" Masacolo asked.

"To the east of this area is a large forest, and if we can get behind them from the forest, we can cut off the back of the fortress in front of us first, and then attack them from the flank."

"But it's not easy to fool the alien animals, they have a line of defense in the forest, and we can't go around it quietly."

"Yes, it's impossible to get around quietly, but there's always a way."

Oka was determined to withdraw Cross, so around five o'clock, Lieutenant General Cross was ordered to withdraw the attacking infantry from all fronts, and with artillery fire, a large number of craters were drilled two miles from the front of the Xian army, which served as foxholes for the cover of the retreating infantry.

The battle came to an abrupt end, Bai Liyan was worried that it was a bluff defeat, leaving a counterattack, so he did not order a pursuit, once the pursuit failed, it might turn into a big rout.

"Deputy marshal, the enemy soldiers retreat, what should our army do." Mo Yunfeng asked on the phone.

"Rescue the wounded, take away the bodies of the soldiers of the coalition army, I will send you 3,000 people to clean up the battlefield, all units of your army seize the time to rest, and the armpit people may counterattack at any time."

"No."

Hanging up Mo Yunfeng's phone, Bai Liyan was about to raise the telescope to observe the enemy's situation, when the guards came to report:

"Lord Qiqi, General Zhou Deyan was ordered to arrive."

"Let him come."

"No!"

When Zhou Deyan came when he was young, he saw Baili Yan slightly bowed:

"The last general, Zhou Deyan, was ordered to come."

"General Zhou is exempt. At present, the enemy troops have retreated two to three miles to confront our army, and the surprise attack on the enemy's artillery position can no longer be carried out, so you lead your headquarters to Jiang Jie's position to assist in clearing the battlefield and rescuing the wounded, and then return to the garrison to stand by, ready to attack at any time. ”

"No!"

Zhou Deyan had been preparing for three days with "strong troops" and suddenly withdrawing his troops, which was bound to strengthen the rear forces, and the risk of a forced surprise attack was too great, and the plan to raid the enemy's artillery positions could only be temporarily shelved.

After instructing Zhou Deyan, Bailiyan went down to the Mo Yunfeng headquarters to understand the situation.

After four days of fierce fighting, Mo Yunfeng did not meet at a glance, and when he arrived at the command headquarters, he was resting in the bunker of the command post, and Bailiyan couldn't bear to disturb him, so he went to the front line to understand the battle situation.

The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and the flies were tirelessly humming unbearably, circling the corpses, biting the flesh of the dead, and drinking the congealed or half-congealed blood on the ground.

Stretcher teams and ambulance soldiers busily shuttled between the positions, risking huge risks, rescuing the wounded and bandaging their wounds, and thanks to the development and popularization of medical technology, many young soldiers' lives were saved.

Unlike the physical damage caused by the previous artillery battles and intensive firefights, the ammunition of the armpit man in hand-to-hand combat is very inefficient, and it relies more on bayonets and the auxiliary weapon recurve knife carried by the person for hand-to-hand combat, so blade wounds account for the majority, and gunshot wounds and shrapnel wounds are less.

The outer layer of the body armor of the Xianjun army is manganese steel made of collar aluminum smelting, and the inner lining is golden silkworm fabric, which can block the frontal shooting of 15.5 caliber black powder gun bullets 100 steps away, although it cannot resist the shooting of 15.5 millicaliber black powder gun bullets at close range, but it can dissolve its kinetic energy power, avoid the warhead from entering the body, cause a wider range of rolling and tearing, and at the same time can resist the assassination of blades and the slashing of knives.

However, body armor and steel helmets only solve the protection of the upper body and crotch, so more than 60 percent of the casualties of the Xian army occurred in blunt injuries to the lower limbs and upper limbs other than the crotch, and only 20 percent of the injuries to the organs and the head.

For limb injuries, the Xianjun army is generally issued with a leather tourniquet that can be used to lassolate the proximal end of the affected area and then tighten it to slow down blood loss.

In the afternoon, Bai Liyan rushed to the Western Front to learn about the casualties in Jiang Jie's defense area. Compared with Mo Yunfeng, the casualties in Jiang Jie's defense area were slightly smaller, all thanks to the flexible top-down tactical command of Jiang Jie and the first column.

Mo Yunfeng and Zhu Youchen's Second Town Army, after all, the middle and high-level military attaches are still the old foundation of the Black Turban Army, although after the later supplementary reorganization and centralized training, it is obviously impossible for them to transition from cold weapons to hot weapons mode.

It is also difficult to achieve Bailiyan's tactical goal if it is flexible, and the reason why Langlan does not put forward battlefield suggestions is obviously more worried about Mo Yunfeng's tactical ability and inability to adapt to the new military changes.

Jiang Jie, Zhou Deyan and the following officers were either teenagers trained by Bai Liyan, or elites of the military battalion and military academy.

However, anyone who follows him Bailiyan to the south and north will not stick to the traditional combat mode and has strong adaptability to the new situation. Jiang Jie, Zhou Deyan and others are in the prime of life, and the future backbone of the Xian army will inevitably appear among them.

On that day, after the armpit retreated, he did not launch any offensive, the artillery also stopped shelling, and the Xian army did not suppress the enemy in front of him.

After nightfall, Bai Liyan took a car to Yongping, and when he saw Zhao Huan, he was checking the supplies of baggage, medicine, and guns, and ammunition was still sufficient, but there were not many shells.

"The ammunition of the 121 rocket artillery 80 mortar and mountain artillery is only half to one base, and the heavy artillery and other 645 modification artillery ammunition still have two to three bases, but if such fierce fighting continues, the ammunition of the rocket artillery and the mountain artillery will be exhausted within a day, and the ammunition must be transferred from the country as soon as possible."

Bai Liyan took the list briefing and took a cursory glance, 121 rocket artillery, 80 mortars and mountain artillery are the main ammunition for trench warfare, because of the short range, mobile and flexible, easy to deploy, the most used, rocket artillery in most cases mobile combat, and consume more.

On the contrary, the range of the upgraded and improved artillery of the Type 645, including the cannon and the heavy artillery, is not as good as that of the axillary howitzer, and it has been suppressed for a long time, and the ammunition consumption is not much. Bullets and other auxiliary ammunition are still sufficient, but this battle is about shells and white-knuckle combat, and bullets are relatively not the first priority.

After reading the briefing, Bai Liyan and Zhao Huan said:

"I have sent 2,000 trucks to China to transfer the ammunition and artillery needed, but it will take half a month at the earliest, and the rest of the vehicles will not leave in five days. In view of the fierce fighting, I intend to transfer the Eighth Town Army to Liang to participate in the war, and at the same time send 10,000 taels of new soldiers, 500 military attachés to supplement the armies and keep them in reserve. ”

"That's 40,000 people, in the current battle, only our army has more than 14,000 casualties, how much to fill in, the king and the cabinet may not agree."

"Having said that, our army has never fought head-on with the armpits, nor has it accumulated combat experience in the use of automated weapons, even though the armed battalion has lectured on tactics and tactics during lectures, but including Benhou, no one has ever had this combat experience, and it is necessary to sharpen the experience and technical and tactical tactics of our officers and men through this battle, and no matter how great the sacrifice is, it is worth it."

"Lord Si Nong's words are reasonable, then I will also write to the king and ask for reinforcements."

During the three days of fierce fighting, the Xian army suffered more than 14,400 casualties, and by the end of the night, more than 4,300 had been killed and more than 9,100 were seriously wounded, and about 30,000 Xian troops were actually engaged in the battle. The Liang army suffered more than 9,000 casualties, more than 3,100 casualties, and more than 20,000 people.

In other words, the actual casualties in the war were nearly half of the combatants, and after the first battle, nearly one-fifth of the 125,000 casualties were lost.
