Chapter 874: The Battle of the Armored Forces
The biggest advantage of mechanized infantry is that it is flexible and mobile.
Suddenly ambushed by the Blue Army Brigade, although they lost a lot of manpower for a while, but after they reacted, with the commander's retreat order, in just two minutes, the originally panicked troops began to maneuver in an orderly manner.
However, to the surprise of the 1st Infantry Regiment, the direction of their retreat, the vanguard was moving slowly at this time, and the progress of the evacuation that should have been rapid was suddenly delayed.
The culprit was a grassy flat, or more precisely, a strip of silt with so high water content that the grass was covered with thin mud.
Zhuang fearless's scheming is here.
Just now, Huang Liang led the first armored battalion to attack from the right side, which made the first infantry regiment that subconsciously counterattacked think that Huang Liang and they had occupied a geographical advantage, and they never thought that there were two silt belts here surrounded by a strip area.
Like a leaky pocket, the place where they first came in was exactly the end of the pocket.
But at this moment, this pocket has been completely tied up by Zhuang Wuxing, Huang Liang and Qiao Muchen with the people, and the current first machine infantry group is no different from the turtle in the urn.
The 2nd Panzer Battalion, which occupied the hillside, did not need to continue the artillery bombardment at all, but simply swung the armored vehicles in a row, and the machine gunners took up their positions and directly suppressed the fire, and this fierce attack made the 1st Infantry Regiment only rely on vehicles to cover it.
It's not that they haven't thought about fighting back, but now the situation is simply careless.
Although individual anti-tank weapons hit a lot of armor-piercing shots, less than one-fifth of the armored vehicles that could be judged by observers to withdraw from the exercise were shells.
On the contrary, because of the shelling of the first armored battalion, many of the vehicles that had been used for hiding were blown up, and many officers and soldiers had to be exposed to the machine guns commanded by Zhuang Wudaunt.
"I had already known that I had invited the artillery masters over, and this kind of containment was most suitable for small-caliber artillery shells for vertex bombing. I've heard that they've been working on a lot of shooting techniques lately, which can also be used to collect data. ”
Zhuang Wuxing looked at the situation on the scene, smacked his mouth, and said unsatisfied.
The ambush here was destined not to be delayed to a stalemate, and in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, Qiao Muchen and his infantry battalion came into play.
Supported by heavy firepower, the infantry battalion turned into a hungry wolf on the steppe and launched an attack on the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, which had few remaining combatants.
As early as the day when the Blue Army Brigade was formed, Shen Yun always warned everyone that they were not as simple as wearing the clothes of a foreign army.
Coordinated operationsWith the support of high-tech communication equipment, Qiao Muchen's orders can be directly issued to the level of a three-person combat team. The result of this efficient command was that the strength of the two battalions of the red side was helpless against this one infantry battalion.
By concentrating their firepower, they were indeed able to get several fighters from the Blue Brigade to exit the exercise with regret.
However, the assault of the infantry battalion on them was not a swarm, allowing their bullets to sweep.
Under the strafing of armored shells and machine guns, they constantly changed the direction of attack. Any combat unit of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment that attempts to force a counteroffensive will be met with a combined encirclement and suppression of light and heavy firepower.
In the command center of the command and dispatch department, the real-time judgment of the battle situation constantly transmitted by the observers made the officers stunned.
Through the detailed text, they could simulate this ambush battle in their brains, and they were shocked to find that the combat effectiveness of the three battalions of the Blue Army Brigade had been exerted to the extreme. In the case of not having an advantage in numbers, an ambush has only passed for more than 20 minutes, directly causing the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment to lose most of its combatants.
"The Blues are really full of talent."
A certain officer couldn't help but sigh.
If he was one of the commanders of the three battalions of the Blue Brigade, he would never have taken such a risk.
In other words, he did not have complete confidence that he would be able to attack after an undaunted ambush in such a situation, and finally achieve such a result.
Everyone agreed with this sentence very much, but then someone made a deeper sigh:
"Or, we can say that Shen Yun and the staff officers of the Blue Army Brigade are even more powerful. According to the report, we know that Shen Yun only issued a combat order, and the detailed operational deployment was directly handed over to their grassroots officers. ”
"If there is no absolute trust in the grassroots commanders and fighters of the Blue Army Brigade, I believe that Shen Yun will not be like this."
"And their staff officers directly selected such a place with a rather favorable position, and expected that the 1st Infantry Regiment would pass through here, and even believed that under such conditions, their officers would choose the best way to fight on their own."
This can no longer be explained by tacit understanding, in a very middle and second sentence, the Blue Army Brigade is a whole. You don't have to say what your head thinks, your limbs will naturally do it.
Lang Tian sat quietly in his seat, listening to the officers' discussions, and his mind began to review a series of remarks made by Shen Yun in public over the years.
The officers were right, but he wanted to know how the Blues did it.
In the many years that he has led the troops, even if the combat intentions are clearly stated in advance, there will still be problems of one kind or another in actual operation. Whether it is execution or comprehension, Lang Tianping has never seen a better job than the Blue Army Brigade of these three battalions.
Was it the low level of education of the former officers, or were their brains not smart enough?
Lang Tianping felt that it was not exactly.
Most of the officers in the army who can be officers above the battalion level, regardless of experience or academic qualifications, will not be bad in their time.
It is important to know that battalion-level officers used to need to go to military academies to study for at least half a year before they could serve as military commanders after graduation. In terms of education and intelligence, they may be far behind the current officers of the Blue Army, but there will be no world of difference.
But why is all this?
Why did the troops led by Shen Yun have such a wonderful phenomenon, the former Eastern Theater Composite Battalion was, and the current Blue Army Brigade is also.
Lang Tianping was going to ask a good question after the exercise was over.
When his thoughts turned, more than ten minutes had passed, and Lang Tianping couldn't help but ask:
"How's the situation with the First Infantry Regiment now?"
"Report chief, according to the latest situation reported by observers, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment has lost 60% of its combatants, and at this time it has forcibly broken through the encirclement of the 1st Armored Battalion and the Infantry Battalion of the Blue Army Brigade and is moving towards the frontal battlefield."
Lang Tianping nodded.
His old subordinates were finally not carried away by the ambush, and they made the most correct choice in this situation.
"I hope that the identity of the remnants of the defeated army will not affect their next battle."
Praying so silently, Lang Tianping's gaze turned to the frontal battlefield.
