Chapter 20: Assault Battalion! Advance! (2)

The Red Army, which was close to 250,000 troops, was difficult to mobilize a complete force at this time, and as a last resort, the headquarters could only draw reserves from various divisions and armies for emergencies, and the 319 regiment and assault battalion entrenched in the 2918 area were naturally selected.

"Order: The assault battalion is temporarily part of the 319th Regiment and goes to the 1793 area to rescue the 39th Division of the Wehrmacht."

As soon as they received the order, the assault battalion and the 319th regiment, which were ready to go, pulled out the camp and killed the 1793 area, which was being ravaged by the Blue Army airborne troops.

Although in Ye Xiao's "previous life", the empire was thrown off by the Japanese alliance because of tactical thinking, the terrifying mobility ability of the imperial army has always been affirmed and valued by all countries!

Even if it does not borrow the railway, the Empire's Magical Troops have the ability to march more than 400 kilometers a day and maintain combat effectiveness, after all, the army's high mobility ability has always been valued by the Empire, and its strong transportation capacity has always been the pride of the Empire.

On the map, Area 2918 and Area 1793 are 390 kilometers away in a straight line, but the marching distance is nearly 500 kilometers, if it is just rushing all the way, the 319th Regiment can complete the mission in less than ten hours, but because it has to fight the Blue Army Airborne Forces after arriving at the destination, the 319th Regiment will need at least fifteen hours to arrive and enter the battle.

The command gave a limit of 17 hours - this was more than enough for the 319th regiment, but Qiuyun didn't see it that way, he said to the commander of the 319th regiment, Colonel Zhou Kai:

"Sir, saving soldiers is like fighting fire! Since the Blue Army has invested three airborne divisions to attack the right flank of our army, it is impossible for the front line to be unmoved, and it is inevitable that there will be a heavy assault. Once the defense line is broken through by the Blues, the right flank of our army will inevitably collapse on all fronts! Time is pressing, I suggest that our department should be the vanguard and rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible, at this time, even if it is a minute earlier, our army will have a better chance of winning! ”

After several days of joint training with the assault battalion, Zhou Kai has a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the assault battalion, after all, half of his regiment is on the top of the entire assault battalion, and the tactics are also very novel, and the equipment is very targeted, after a little thought, Colonel Zhou Kai said:

"Okay, your department will be the vanguard and rush to the battlefield as fast as possible, in addition, I will send 2 battalions to follow your department!" The 2nd Battalion of the 319th Regiment is an armored infantry battalion, which belongs to a highly mobile unit, although it is far inferior to the assault battalion with special arsenal services, but it is not the same as the assault battalion, which can make up for the shortcomings of the assault battalion's weak offensive force.

The assault battalion after the 2nd battalion was reinforced, and the strength was already close to a regiment.

"Thank you, sir!" Qiuyun did not shirk and accepted Colonel Zhou Kai's kindness - of course, to a large extent, it was also Colonel Zhou Kai's trust in the combat effectiveness of the assault battalion.

During the high-speed march, the assault battalion sent a communication request to the garrison in the 1793 area through the division headquarters, requesting the garrison to share information, and as a result, the 139th Division of the Wehrmacht garrison in the 1793 area ignored the excessive demands of the assault battalion.

In the words of the commander of the 139th Division, why did Lao Tzu listen to the orders of a small major?

"it!!"

After Zheng Yingqi received the feedback from the division headquarters, he scolded angrily, "Lao Tzu is here to save him, and he still puts a stinky shelf for Lao Tzu?" ”

Qiuyun shrugged his shoulders on the command car, equally helpless.

It is only after touching the communications system of the assault battalion that one realizes the importance of information sharing - in fact, the importance of information sharing on the battlefield was raised many years ago? But without a complete integration system, on the battlefield where the battle situation changes three times in an hour, which command has the idler to constantly transmit the battle situation?

"What is the latest battle report for Area 1793 issued by the headquarters?" Ye Xiao didn't get entangled, but asked.

Immediately, a staff officer said: "The Blue Army Airborne Forces launched an attack on the 498th Regiment in Area 2, and according to the report of the 139th Division, the 498th Regiment can hold out for six hours at most!" If the 498th Regiment is defeated, the Blue Airborne Forces will threaten the 499th Regiment in Area 4 and the division headquarters in Area 6, and at the same time, the defense line of the 139th Division in the 1793 area will be cut off, and once the 7th Division is captured by the Blue Army armored forces, the 139th Division will face the fate of being completely annihilated, and the entire right flank may be divided at the same time! ”

"Go straight to District 6!" Qiu Yun gave an order after a moment's thought. The 139th Division is a conventional division, with a huge force directly under the division headquarters, plus reserves, even if it is a hard fight with the airborne troops of the Blue Army, it can hold out until reinforcements arrive from all directions, but once the 499th Regiment is attacked from both sides, defeat is a matter of several hours.

……

1793 area, 498 regimental headquarters.

"Tuanza, 913 Heights is lost! The Blue Airborne Forces captured the 913 heights, and the 2 battalions were divided! "Staff debriefing.

Colonel Han Yue, the commander of the 498th Regiment, was stunned, but he didn't expect that the 913 Heights with high hopes would only last for less than an hour, and if it goes on like this, let alone six hours, even four hours, the 498 Regiment will not be able to carry it!

"Pick up Wang Mazi!" Han Yue was furious, and after the staff officer connected the 2nd battalion tent Major Wang Wei, Han Yue angrily scolded: "Wang Mazi, what the are you doing!" How could a reinforced company garrisoned 913 be contributed in less than an hour? How the do you give Lao Tzu a guarantee! ”

"Tuanzao, the firepower of the Blue Airborne Forces is too fierce, and they are equipped with too many dragon riding light armored vehicles! Our anti-armor weapons are insufficient! Regimental seat, give me an artillery company, and I'll take 913 back now! Major Wang Wei assured.

"And take a fart! 913 is lost, you guys are targets, bring me all the people back, and I'll let the guards come over to answer them! Lao Tzu guaranteed six hours of time for the division, Wang Mazi, if you can't carry it for 6 hours, Lao Tzu will be your battalion commander! Colonel Han Yue roared.

"Yes!"

Han Yue had just finished the conversation with the 2nd Battalion, but unexpectedly, bad news came one after another, first the 1st Battalion was broken through the defensive line, and then the 3rd Battalion was attacked by the battalion headquarters of Lante, and the whole battalion lost its command structure and became a mess.

"Han Yue! 6 hours, not a single cent! Lao Tzu didn't send any soldiers to you, I just want the result! The news reached the division headquarters, and the commander of the 139th Division immediately called back and reprimanded him.

"Tell the whole regiment that it won't last for 6 hours, and the whole regiment will retrain the new barracks of the Lao Tzu Society!" Colonel Han Yue gave the death order, and then ignored the command headquarters, and joined the blocking array with the only remaining guard platoon and logistics personnel.

Despite this, in the face of the Blue Army troops carrying a large number of light armored vehicles airborne, it still took only four hours to break through the defense line of the 498th Regiment, although the 498th Regiment fought to the end, the whole regiment was almost annihilated, but still did not complete the order to hold on for 6 hours.

Once the defense line of the 499th Regiment was broken through and the airborne troops of the armored forces were merged, the situation of fighting alone would be completely ended, and at that time, the entire right wing of the Red Army would tremble under the threat of the Blue Army's troops, and would be successfully divided by the Blue Army.
