Chapter 31: The Turbulent Exercise Ground

In the military circles of the Empire, there is such a proverb: the navy is rich, the air trenches are empty, and the army is lumpy.

Obviously, because of military spending, the navy is rich, the air force is tyrants, and the rest of the army is a lump of dirt - of course, this is just an exaggeration, but it can also be seen from this that the gap between the military spending of the three armed services can also be seen.

The number of armies is huge, the Yulin Army, the National Defense Army and the old Wuwei Army, each of the three major systems is waiting to be fed, and the heavy group is even more of a gold-swallowing beast, and an upgrade or change of chariot is a terrifying astronomical number, so the ordinary group army can obviously only be thrown aside.

As for the Imperial Guard, then there is no way to say, who calls the people the troops directly under the Führer, and the Military Affairs Yuan are directly two systems, and the military expenditure is free and the Führer is solved from the budget.

In the Imperial Army, after the heavy group has eaten the big cake, only some leftovers are left for the ordinary group army, which also leads to the two-level differentiation of equipment, and many ordinary group armies are only one chariot regiment in the whole army, how can there be such a peerless killer weapon as a chariot division?

Even so, in the war, the command always gave priority to allocating the precious tank regiments, which were originally ordinary armies, to the heavy armies.

Naturally, the exercise was no exception.

If each army group had a tank division to show off its might there, there would be no need for the airborne troops to parachute down on a large scale - one tank division would be enough to sweep and hang ten airborne divisions.

And what about the Airborne Forces? My mother's family is the Air Force, with sufficient military spending, rich money, and a local tyrant style - even airborne can airdrop so many Dragon Four, you can imagine its "trench" feelings!

Don't look at the 101 and 109 one and a half regiments that sank in the sand at 481, but the airborne division that the air force piled up with gold was after all fought with money, and concentrated all the transport vehicles that could be collected and the three airborne divisions of the Longsi car, and went straight to the 75th division, which was eating melon seeds.

As one of the reserves on the right flank, the 75th Division may be transferred to the front line to fight fires at any time, which is also one of the reasons why the 74th Division stood still when the 139th Division was crying for dad and mother, and the other reason was that the two regiments and two battalions of the 103rd Division of the Airborne Division had been entangled without skin and face, and the 75th Division did not dare to move.

Unexpectedly, now, the three airborne divisions actually stretched out their claws to him together, and the battle broke out, and the strong combat effectiveness of the airborne division made the 75th division hurriedly send a message for help to the headquarters.

If you don't send it, you can't do it - 3 to 1, can you not be so unwanted?

The 287th Tank Brigade, which belongs to the 57th Group Army of the National Defense Forces, came all the way through the mountains and rivers, and wanted to take advantage of the majesty of the heavy armament group and beat the three airborne divisions, but when they arrived, the 139th Division headquarters was given dumplings by the airborne troops of the Blue Army, and the 481st position, which needed the most support, was also robbed of the limelight by the bullshit assault battalion.

Brigadier General Du Kun, the brigade commander, received an order from the Red Army Headquarters to rescue the 75th Division, and after spitting hatefully, the Brigadier General took dozens of heavy combat vehicles of the whole brigade, more than 100 armored vehicles, and a large number of infantry combat vehicles to kill the 75th Division's station, trying to get a piece of meat to gnaw.

But in Yangming Town, the 287 Brigade was strongly blocked by the Airborne Forces!

The airborne troops are subordinate to the air force, the trench wind can be imagined, and the Chunlei military exercise is as heavy as Mount Tai, and Major General Lin Lan, who was holding back the fire in his belly, took the 7 battalions of the 101st and the 5 battalions of the 109th Division to directly occupy Yangming Town, and all the nearly 10,000 residents of the town moved out forcefully after waking up in their sleep - all losses are solved by the logistics department, and the people of Yangming Town are very familiar with this routine.

Don't look at the 318 position, a battalion of airborne troops was wiped out by the assault battalion, and even the entire 101 airborne division had to avoid its edge and was forced to leave the 481 position. However, this does not mean that the airborne troops piled up by the Imperial Air Force with countless gold coins are dough.

The mission of the airborne troops was originally to make a desperate bet in the Jedi, to fight hope in despair, and to defend the Jedi to the death, which was originally their strength, in order to prove that they did not waste that huge military expenditure, the airborne troops in Yangming Town, with 12 airborne battalions to meet the chariot brigade, must wash away the shame!

The 287 Brigade, which has more than 100 armored vehicles and more than 80 heavy combat vehicles, has finally seen the style of the trench army built by the Air Force with a lot of money, like the villain in countless airborne wars in history, the 287 Brigade is dumbfounded!

The 12 airborne battalions swore to defend the position, relying on the complex topography of the town, starting from 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the 287th Brigade was consumed until noon during the day, even if the 12 battalions lost eighty percent, but still firmly guarded the last line of defense.

As for the 75th Division, which thought it could eat melon seeds while fighting, this time it was bloody, reinforcements did not arrive, and the enemy was too ferocious, and after a hard battle, the three regiments and their divisional units were lost eighty percent and withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment.

And on the right-wing front, where the storm is the most turbulent, the blue army chariot cluster, which held its breath, also played an invincible steel hero.

The 49th Division of the Yulin Army, the ace of the empire, such a steel division, in the face of the surging offensive of the Blue Army's steel army, after holding on for two days and 49 hours, was finally defeated by a 1:3 ratio of troops, the whole division lost more than 7 percent, and the heavy equipment was lost, and it was judged that the whole division was destroyed.

The 49th Division of the Yulin Army was not the first to be broken through, but his defeat was the most serious - in order to defend his rear flank, the 139th Division was almost all put into it, and it is conceivable that the division's position in the right flank defense line.

The chain reaction of such an important line of defense was unimaginable, and the defense line of the four Wehrmacht divisions was broken through one after another in the following four hours, and the defense line of the other two Yulin Army divisions also collapsed, so that the entire right flank defense line of the Red Army completely collapsed, and the Blue Army swept the entire right flank of the Red Army with more than 4 heavy tank divisions, 3 tank brigades and a number of armored units.

More than 70,000 Red Army troops were forced to evacuate and retreat, but the Blues launched this offensive at the risk of being routed on the right flank and the central line.

Pursue! Never stop chasing!

The entire right flank of the Red Army, there was a wail.

At this time, the anxious Red Division suddenly remembered a lightly armed unit, especially some generals gritted their teeth and remembered that a second lieutenant once declared at a headquarters meeting: The assault tactics of the heavy tank group are outdated.

All right! Then let you go up and tell the facts how outdated the tank cluster is.

So, at the 481 position, the 319 regiment, which had just built a defensive line, received an order from the command.

"Order: Your department will cooperate with the assault battalion to operate the 481st position defense group, and break the 51st Division of the Yulin Army! Be sure to get 5 hours for the 51st Division"

Colonel Zhou Kai was dumbfounded after receiving the order from the headquarters.

What kind of plane?

The main force of the 51st Division was not damaged, so it was chased and killed by two heavy tank divisions of the Blue Army, who was unlucky, but now the headquarters actually asked them to use the 481st position defense group to cut off the rear of the 51st Division?

The remnants of the 499th Regiment have long been defeated and run to the 74th Division in personnel carriers, and now the entire 481 defense line, there are only 319 regiments and assault battalions left, one regiment plus one battalion, two thousand people, heavy tanks: none, heavy artillery: none, support air force: none, with these three nos, they were actually used by the whimsical headquarters to block the eye-catching?

Is there a mistake? We are the heroic troops who have rushed hundreds of kilometers to save the 481 defense line!

Colonel Zhou Kai complained frantically, and at the same time sent someone to invite the four chief officers of the assault battalion - the other troops are all three major chief officers (chief and deputy chief of chief, chief of staff), and the assault battalion is good, and there is a training staff officer among the chief officers.

"Look at it, the order given directly by the headquarters......" The colonel looked helpless.

Yes, this time it is certain to enter the camp of the dead, if the 320th Regiment is also successful, the 319th Regiment was originally to give the 320th Regiment the first hand of the tank regiment, but the 320th Regiment has already been transferred by the headquarters to strengthen the front line of the tank cluster, although the 319th Regiment with an armored infantry battalion wants to sing the leading role, but it is more than enough but not enough.

What the colonel didn't expect was that after the four commanders from the assault battalion saw the order of the headquarters, not only were they not shocked and angry, but their eyes were green, even the most stable Major Qiuyun looked like this.

"Good! It's finally time to show your strength! Zheng Yingqi slapped the table excitedly, the two major subjects of the assault battalion training, the first is the position attack (urban street fighting is listed as a classified training subject for position attack), and the second is the assault on the tank cluster.

That's right, it's an assault, although it seems like a joke to others, but since the assault battalion was established, it is to go to the nightmare of becoming a tank group, and to assault a tank group is exactly what they dream of.

It is true that we are a light battalion, but we really have the ambition to shake the heavy group!
