Chapter 19: The Arinata Meat Grinder

At the same time, at the same time, two infantry chariots were hidden among the two piles of ruins.

"Squad leader, the gunshots are above us, are they almost unable to withstand it?" One of the warriors said anxiously.

Zheng Jie, the squad leader, kept looking at the periscope and said without looking back: "I don't need you to say it, I can see it!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, when will the squad leader attack!" A corporal kicked the talking soldier in the dark.

The infantry chariot was "buried" in the rubble, and it was pitch black inside, and only the squad leader could use the periscope to see the situation outside.

Zheng Jie didn't want to attack, but now the enemy had not completely penetrated into the fist formed by the two infantry chariots, although he was also anxious when he saw his comrades in the tragic battle, but for the sake of the results, he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart.

In the narrow periscope vision, the crusaders finally approached Chang Manban's position, and more than two dozen enemies handed over their backs to Zheng Jieban, who had long been unable to hold back.

"Action!"

Zheng Jie roared and gave an order, the driver stepped on the magic output to the end, and the roar broke out in the ruins, and the infantry chariot rushed out of the ruins like a monster killed from the wilderness, and the debris and broken bricks disguised on the infantry chariot fell one after another.

The machine gunner quickly pushed open the top cover, grabbed the machine gun, and pulled the trigger tightly, and the tongue of fire spat out instantly.

Boom!

The back door of the infantry chariot was savagely pushed open, and the warriors who had been waiting for a long time came out of the back door, and began to harvest the enemy's lives at a rapid pace with their rifles.

The attacking enemy was stunned, and they never thought that just when victory was imminent, the ruins behind them turned into "monsters", deadly monsters!

"Dog's Day is finally out! Brothers, kill! ”

Chang Man's anger that he had been holding back for a long time finally found an outlet, and he rushed out of the position regardless of it, and launched a vicious charge against the enemy.

Hit on both sides!

The more than twenty attacking crusaders did not have time to trap the beast to fight and followed the pace of their gods under the fire of the front and rear flanks, and the sudden scene ended so fast that the enemy could not react, and only more than twenty corpses lay on the battlefield.

……

The will of the imperial army to fight was beyond the imagination of the attacking troops, and the night battle lasted until dawn, but the entire ruins of Alinata, the Crusaders occupied less than one-fifth.

The smoke and even more dilapidated ruins on the occupation line speak of the ruthlessness of the battle - the Crusaders' attack was absolutely undiscounted, and all the soldiers who were withdrawn from the battlefield were as if they had escaped from hell back to earth, but at the cost of nearly a thousand casualties in one night, they were stunned that they did not achieve their strategic objectives.

After daybreak, the Imperial Air Force appeared.

Bombs are constantly being dropped from the sky like money, precision-guided missiles are constantly being dropped at assembly points, and the occasional roar of a string of cannons always takes away a few or a dozen lives.

The Imperial Army has counterattacked!

Under the suppression of the air force, the Imperial army stationed in the city of Alinata launched a counterattack, and a third of the area controlled by the Crusaders fell into the hands of the Imperial army.

Anrod was mad and gave two options to the attacking troops: either they were shot by the divisional units, or they rushed forward!

The attacking forces could only bite the bullet and continue to attack Alinata in the face of the bombardment of the air force.

The situation improved by noon, and the Crusaders gathered their only air power and pounced on the side of Arianata, and one of the largest air battles in the region since the outbreak of the war began.

Although the Crusaders' air forces were at a disadvantage, this was undoubtedly bad news for the defenders of Arianata, as the Crusaders were finally able to attack the ground without worrying about their heads.

"Resist to the end!" In the headquarters of the Alinata garrison, the chief of staff of the 101st Brigade, Colonel Qin Zhonghai, gave the order.

"Yes!" The two battalion commanders replied without hesitation, if the city of Alinata can hold on for one more day, the two defense lines will have one more day, and the probability of completing the task will be a few points higher, which they know very well that from the moment they received the task of garrisoning Arinata, the two battalions were ready to die for the country.

The command command soon reached the ears of everyone in both battalions.

Layers of resistance sound simple, but in fact, such a defense is purely an act of risking one's life, layer upon layer of defense, like waiting for the enemy to peel off layer by layer like skin.

……

"Alinata is the most critical node of the defensive line," Ye Xiao held a command meeting and said his decision: "Alinata guards for more than one day, and the enemy can't attack the rest of the defensive line with peace of mind. Now that the enemy and us are fighting inch by inch in the city, I decided that the spy company and the ghost blade immediately joined the street battle to help the friendly forces defend. ”

To be expected.

Alinata has become a meat grinder, both sides have to control the city, the battle is more fierce than you can imagine, if you still have more troops on your side, the front finger will definitely throw it into the street battle in the city.

But the reality is that there are no more troops in the hands of the front commander, and there is not even a reserve - a defensive line of more than 60 kilometers, with 20,000 people stationed in front and behind, is overstretched no matter how you look at it.

The spy company is an independent force cut out by Qiu Yun's gritted teeth, according to Qiu Yun's meaning, the spy company will attack everywhere under the leadership of Ye Xiao, attack the enemy's weak points, and constantly harass the tired enemy, but the plan has never been able to withstand the change, and now Alinata has become a meat grinder, and the attributes of the spy company are destined to play a greater role in street fighting.

"Sir, what about the armored car company? Alinatta is in ruins, and there is no way for armored vehicles to be used in clusters. Qiu Tiejun asked.

"The armored car company withdrew to the No. 1 line of defense and returned to the brigade headquarters for deployment!"

Captain Zhou Mo was a little complaining, the only thing he could show for his armored car company was more than 20 armored vehicles, which looked pretty good, but he was always thrown away as a burden - and now he was thrown directly under the brigade headquarters, which was too shameless.

"The Ghost Blade Detachment takes the lead, the spy company follows, Captain Zhou, you lead your troops back to the No. 1 defense line."

"Yes......" Zhou Mo responded listlessly.

If it was the battalion commander directly under him, Zhou Mo would dare to bargain before the order was issued, but now his mother-in-law is Ye Xiao, and Zhou Mo can be regarded as listening to Ye Xiao's legend and taking root in the 101st Brigade, where does he dare to bargain for such a ruthless person?

The team quickly dispersed, and the armored vehicle company left straight away, while the spy company, along with the ghost blade, plunged headlong into the meat grinder-like city of Alinata.

Outside the city, through the binoculars, you can see that both sides are fighting to the death, but it is difficult to have an intuitive feeling, and only after entering the city can you feel the tragedy of the battle.

After obtaining the offensive map from the headquarters of the 2nd Synthetic Battalion, Ye Xiao decisively led the team to attack the red No. 5 area - this is the most tragic place in the battle of the 2nd Synthetic Battalion, where two infantry platoons and a fire platoon are entangled with more than two companies of the enemy, and the reports for help are one after another.

"There are no more reinforcements at the battalion headquarters! Chen Sinan, if you can't stand it, I'll bury it there for Lao Tzu! ”

When he came out of the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion, the commander of the 2nd Battalion was giving a decisive order to the defending officers in the red area, Ye Xiao did not dare to delay, and led his subordinates to the No. 5 area.
