Chapter 262: City Attack and Defense

Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong decided to immediately send troops to capture Bandar Abbas, as a base camp for development, a good geographical location can determine the fate of a country, and at this time Hu Shengsong has already had the idea of becoming an independent king.

Because the armored corps has been paralyzed and has not had the slightest combat effectiveness, it is being repaired, and after the repair and modification is completed, these tanks, personnel carriers, self-propelled guns, etc., will become fully mechanized, without the slightest electronic equipment, similar to tractors, old-fashioned gas vehicles starting to run combat vehicles,

In terms of mobility, because the EFI is canceled, the supercharger also loses its effect, so the maneuverability is greatly reduced; In addition, the accuracy and intelligence of shooting have greatly decreased, but fortunately, these equipment are also advanced weapons and equipment in the previous life, and the power still exists.

Hu Shengsong gathered more than 10,000 infantry, carrying mortars, machine guns, personal submachine guns and other light and heavy weapons, and marched to Bandar Abbas in three ways, striving to capture Bandar Abbas within a week.

Now this army is a pure army, which has restored the fine traditions and style of the People's Liberation Army and is making great strides, of course, measuring the land of Iran with its feet.

There was little resistance along the way, and after a rapid march of three days and three nights, the team arrived outside the port of Abbas.

Bandar Abbas is a beautiful medium-sized city located in the south of Iran, which was not damaged by disasters in the previous life, and the infrastructure is quite normal, so a large number of Iranians have gathered, as well as Pakistani and Afghans who have fled.

And among these people there are all kinds of light and heavy weapons, which is clearly a big military camp,

In the previous life, the people of these three countries circulated a large number of light weapons, Russian standards, US military systems, and of course, a large number of Chinese standard weapons, not to mention that in the last days, the chaotic world, which led to the destruction of the weapons arsenals of the former countries and the dispersion of a large number of weapons among the people.

Coupled with the fact that these peoples are united in a single sect of Islam, the people of each country have gradually formed a new state here, although it has not yet been formally established, but the basic form of administration and order has been produced.

Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong's army has not yet reached Abbas, the army and people here have already looked at the wind, and a resistance battle relying on the city is about to begin, but General Hu's army has no idea that it will be ruthlessly attacked from the moment it enters the city of Abbas.

In their previous lives, the fierce people of West Asia had made the American ** team, armed to the teeth, and the Russian army suffered great losses, not to mention these lightly armed Chinese troops who came from afar without knowing it.

It is not a difficult task to dismantle the armed forces of a country, such things have happened no less than a hundred times in the hundreds of years that the Western world has dominated the world, but to conquer a nation is not to disintegrate their armed forces, but to conquer a nation, the efforts required to make it are not so easy.

Therefore, this action of Hu Shengsong's army, because it is a dove occupying the magpie's nest, has an aggressive nature, so it will also pay a high price.

Of course, the 46th Army was still an ace army after all, and within a few days of the start of the attack, the sniping in the city of Abbas was completely passive, the army deployed by the Abbasid army on the outskirts of the city was quickly routed, a large part of the people were taken prisoner or eliminated, a small part fled into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare, and most of the regular Abbasid army retreated to the city of Abbas,

And as the 46th Army took control of several important strategic strongholds on the edge of Abbas City, the Third Route Army formed an encirclement and began to slowly advance towards the center of Abbas City and began to attack, and at this time, the real and most headache ground battle for the 46th Army officially began.

In the past life, urban warfare was a kind of battle that all nations tried to avoid.

Unlike most forms of warfare, the greatest threat to urban warfare is not the enemy's regular troops, but civilians, which has a lot in common with previous guerrilla warfare, because it is not a way of fighting that can achieve absolute superiority in firepower, troops, and information technology.

Therefore, urban warfare is also known as urban guerrilla warfare, in this battlefield, firepower and intelligence are no longer the key factors, and the quality of fighters, the reliability of weapons and equipment, and familiarity with the terrain and humanities have become the most critical factors in battle.

And this is what the attack, or the aggressor, lacks the most, so most countries are avoiding urban warfare, and if they have the ability, they naturally want to avoid it.

Of course, at a time when urbanization is becoming more widespread, this avoidance often does not make much difference.

From several wars at the end of the 20th century to the Sino-Russian War, urban warfare has always been the most difficult part of warfare,

The Americans suffered a lot in Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq, especially during the Iraq War, most of the American soldiers killed and wounded were "credits" to urban warfare,

However, the capture of the port of Abbas could not avoid urban warfare, and when Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong found that they could not avoid this problem, he had to throw his regular troops into the battle to control and seize the city.

Without the support and cover of heavy artillery, and without the assault and cover of air helicopters, the casualties of the 46th Army could not be avoided, which was the most headache for Hu Shengsong.

It can be said that this is the real beginning of the ground battle, although Abbas's regular troops in the outer barrage performance is a mess, but the armed reservists, as well as the people in Abbas City, showed bravery and morale in the war that the 46th Army could not defeat.

And this is also doomed to the cruelty of ground battles, when a nation is facing the threat of being wiped out or enslaved, the fighting power of this nation, and a nation with a long history, is absolutely terrible.

The eight-year anti-Japanese war during the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has proved this truth, but Hu Shengsong has no way to avoid it.

The first platoon of the second company of the 3rd assault battalion attacked the center of the city smoothly at first, and after repelling a wave of resistance, the first platoon advanced a hundred meters, and just as the soldiers were about to find a hidden corner to rest for a while, several women dressed as West Asian women came out of the corner of the street, and walked to the first row of resting places with a harmless face.

These women were unarmed, with large robes covering their plump waists, black veils covering their faces, only big eyes were exposed, and on top of their heads was a jug, which seemed to be going to fetch water.

The soldiers are defenseless, unarmed women, this is a civilian, there should be no problem, right?

But the women walked to a row of resting places, suddenly shook off the jug above their heads, pulled out their submachine guns from their robes, and fired at the soldiers, several of whom were at a loss and were beaten into honeycombs, and several other clever warriors dodged the incoming bullets and quickly returned fire.

These West Asian women died on the spot, but a platoon was also beaten miserably, more than a dozen fighters were killed, seven or eight fighters were slightly and seriously injured, and a platoon temporarily withdrew from the urban battle.

Such a situation was played out everywhere in the city of Abbas, and the outbreak of a people's war reduced the offensive of the 46th Army and caused heavy casualties.

Hu Shengsong learned from the pain and hurriedly issued a cruel order, all those who are not Chinese people appear in front of him will be killed, which means that whether it is an Abbasid soldier or a civilian, as long as he sees it, he will be killed.

The bloody suppression began, and the prestige of Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong, the king of West Asia, was born.
