Chapter 33: The First Battle
Heaven is clear, retribution is not happy - if the 101st Airborne Division is here, they will definitely shout this sentence happily.
Retribution does come quickly to the thief.
Not long ago, Ye Xiao relied on the large number of armored vehicles on his side and the accurate firepower, forcing the 101st Airborne Division to withdraw gloomily and give up the fruits of victory that were about to arrive, and now, the two tank divisions from the Blue Army said with larger-caliber artillery fire: If you hit the small one, you will definitely provoke the big one.
Although it is an exercise shell, the large-caliber artillery is the grandfather of the artillery after all, and the range of the energy mass smashed down is not smaller than that of the real shell, and the entire 481 position group instantly entered the artillery fire coverage mode, and the dark blue energy was filled with it.
A round of artillery bombardment lasted for a full twenty minutes, and the actions of the artillery regiment of the wealthy chariot division made the soldiers of the 319th regiment scold one by one.
As soon as the shelling ended, a rain of rockets fell, and as soon as it was over, the roar of the rumbling chariots was already approaching.
In the anti-artillery hole, countless soldiers poured out of it, and the unlucky ones who smoked could only scold and retreat, while the soldiers who dodged the shelling quickly entered their respective positions.
The scene of the chariot charging in a cluster is always terrifying - one after another huge steel monsters rumble to kill, even if this is a drill, countless soldiers can't help but tremble in their legs, and the huge body is not visible even if it is a kilometer away.
"Don't panic! Steady! Don't panic with bazookas! Hit it again when you get closer! Try to launch within two or three hundred meters! โ
The anti-tank weapons of the 319th Regiment are only bazookas, and the anti-tank artillery of the entire 319th Regiment is only a mere company, and it cannot be exposed in a hurry now. So the officers hissed and ordered not to fire.
But the 319th regiment does not fire does not mean that the rumbling chariots will be silent, a kilometer apart, the 125 caliber heavy tank main cannon can easily tear through the 25mm demonized steel, this distance point, is the time for them to show off their might.
Any suspected fortress or pillbox was attacked, and the charioteers used the accuracy of their main guns to announce to the 319th Regiment that the high training costs were not wasted, but all they received was the unpleasant curses of the "dead" soldiers.
More than 40 heavily armored combat vehicles lined up, constantly spitting shells in the billowing smoke and dust, and killed the 481 position.
"Is it marked?"
Although the soldiers of the assault battalion in small groups had suffered considerable losses in the shelling and rain of rockets just now, the rest of them had already quietly entered the trenches and began to mark their targets.
"It's marked! Target data has been sent to the missile platoon! โ
"The missile has been launched! 100ยท32 band, pay attention to the guidance! โ
"Okay! 100ยท32 band! โ
The assault battalion team was divided into groups of three, and after confirming the launch of the support missiles it provided, it quickly adjusted its band and began to firmly lock on to the target with the guide.
On the entire 481 position, more than 20 missiles were launched at once, and under the guidance of their respective guidance groups, they went straight to the target.
Seeing the missiles flying low with their tails in tow, the Blue Army tank troops didn't care, they had already known the accuracy of small missiles, and they didn't care, but as the broom-star-like missiles continued to approach, the observers who showed their heads panicked.
"Machine guns! Intercept the missile! โ
"It's too fast! Can't intercept it! โ
"Avoid! Circumvent! The panicked shouts made the rider immediately make evasive moves.
However, the observers were desperate to find that the missiles aimed at them had also made corresponding adjustments, and still flew straight towards them.
"Nope! Missiles will track! The observer shouted, and in the next second, the missile hit the chariot, and the sound of smoke rang out in despair.
The observer said bitterly, "We are dead!" While the rest of the crew was still in wonder, the observer noticed that more than ten vehicles were smoking at the same time.
"Nope! That's impossible! How could more than ten tanks be reimbursed! โ
"What did you say?"
The rest of the crew, believing that they might have misheard, rushed out of all directions, and when they saw more than ten chariots lying on their stomachs "killed", they were all dumbfounded.
Just now, what happened?
This was something that not only the members of the car crew who died in the battle wanted to ask, but even the soldiers of the 319th Regiment wanted to ask.
Well, take a look: just now a lot of missiles with tails flew out, well, before, it seemed that the comrades of the assault battalion were holding things that were not guns and had been leading?
The soldiers of the 319th Regiment looked at the friendly soldiers beside them in disbelief, and someone swallowed saliva and asked, "What did you do?" โ
However, the allies of the assault battalion did not have time to answer their questions, because Qiuyun, who had been observing the battlefield, had already reported it in the communication system:
"23 missiles, 12 combat vehicles."
Although the commander didn't say it explicitly, the soldiers knew that this was saying that the hit rate barely exceeded fifty percent, is this the answer?
The fighters gritted their teeth and tried to prove themselves again with their actions, but not far away they were already covered in smoke and could not lock on to their targets.
Ye Xiao has also been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, although the result of destroying twelve heavy combat vehicles in the first round of attacks cannot be compared with the hit rate of eighty percent during training, but after all, it is a good start, so he does not feel pity in his heart.
And the chariot's response also made him secretly applaud it, and it was worthy of recognition to rush forward without a hot head - then he thought of the response of the imperial army in the fourteenth year of his dream, and hurriedly shouted a warning in the communication system, fortunately, his authority was high, and he could directly talk to the whole battalion.
"Get into the bomb hole! Fast! Fast! Fast! โ
โฆโฆ
The chariots panicked, the pressure on them from the reimbursement of the 12 car groups was too great, and the commanders reacted quickly and released smoke grenades one after another, and in an instant all the chariots were enveloped in smoke.
"Give up the offense! Withdraw it! "The order from the division headquarters was conveyed in a short time, and one of the 12 combat vehicles was reimbursed, which is too terrifying, and the command cannot panic, according to this efficiency, as long as there are ten or so faces, won't all the heavy combat vehicles of a division be reimbursed?
"Shelling! Shelling! โ
"Rockets! Cover the blow! โ
The order to retaliate was immediately issued, and the heavy artillery regiment and rocket unit quickly launched a retaliation.
On the command vehicle of the 98th Division of the Blue Army's Yulin Army.
"Assault battalion!" Xu Minghong, the commander of the 98th Division, gritted his teeth and said a name that most people didn't care about, and then smashed his fist on the table angrily.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Major General Xu said: "The enemy is the assault battalion of the Red Army's Independent Number, equipped with small missiles that can guide the attack, with a range of 4 kilometers. โ
Before the battle, the director deliberately informed the Blue Army tank unit of the information of the assault battalion - apparently, the bigwigs wanted to know how each side would respond after the confrontation.
The staff officer quickly gathered the information and concluded:
"Divisional seat, it is recommended that the artillery cover the attack all the time, and the armored vehicles and combat vehicles should be grouped and mixed into the battlefield."
Major General Xu Minghong asked, "Is there a way to deal with such a small missile that can be guided by an attack?" โ
A staff officer shook his head: "Division, there is too little information to determine, but according to feedback from the front, the closer the missile, the higher the success rate of evasion." โ
The major general took another deep breath and ordered: "Order the 4th Battalion and the 8th Battalion to be mixed as the first echelon to attack, and the 2nd Infantry Battalion to follow and cover." โ
"Yes!"
