Storm (3) The history of the victor's deletion, the fierce battle, the battle of the Eastern Barrier, the mobile defensive operation of Admiral Er Chab

During the Tasman War, the United Empire of St. Roman-St. Sunia, the victor of the war, tried to cover up the historical facts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In that year, the United Army of St. Roman, known as the "victorious army" and "invincible in land warfare", fought under the city of Waham, and then fought against Samral, and attacked and killed the Tasman Empire army around Samlar several times, and finally approached the "Imperial Eastern Barrier" of the Tasman Empire Army. The ancients said, "The end of a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Min", and the invincible heroes of the great country finally stopped in front of this just-established "grass defense line".

Here, the memory of the Black Boots of the Iron Cross of the United Imperial Army came to an end, and on August 23, 96 B, that day, both our troops and the Assenstan Army at the front withdrew from the battle.

Here, the Symphony of Intervention Wars by the United Empire of St. Roman-St. Sunia and others came to an end, and it seemed that the Tasman Empire could keep its broken limbs alive.

Here, this long-broken defense line of the "Imperial Eastern Barrier" once witnessed the iron-blooded history of the desperate battle of the remnants of the Imperial Army on the eve of the fall of the Tasman Empire.

Here, the banks of the Kragg River, once covered with the dead bodies of the two armies, still seem to be rumbling with cannons and shouts of killing, the blood of the dead and wounded floats all over the river, dyeing the river red, and the land on the hillside of the riverbank, which has been bombarded by the heavy artillery fire of the United Imperial Army, is still barren.

Here, the soldiers of the Tasman Imperial Army fought bloodily and sang the triumphant song of the deceased with their blood and lives. On the mound on the bank of the river, the battle flag of the Tasman Imperial Army seems to still be fluttering proudly, and the ancient Tasman Empire, the powerful Imperial Army, is still stubbornly creating the glory of victory when it is about to perish!!

Do you know what the glory of this thousand-year-old country was, and the mighty imperial army that once made the entire Central Continent tremble. The ancient victory horn of the Imperial Army echoed on the battlefield, and the melody was impassioned and inspiring, and the history of this song has been around for thousands of years. On the occasion of the death of the country, the horn of victory sounded again, and the fifth article of the victory series of the dead country "The Fierce Battle of the Eastern Barrier".

This article is the result of the compilation and collation of confidential military materials and historians' research reports on the Tasman Empire's war, which can ensure a certain degree of historical authenticity. This is history that is closer to real history, and it is definitely not a history told by historians, nor is it a history that can be made public. (Public history is not necessarily true history.) Students, you must be clear that what is in history textbooks is not necessarily real history, but more propaganda and education. ）

History begins:

The Second Battle of Vaham can be called the most tragic battle of the Tasman Empire's Demise War, and it is also the first tragic battle of Operation Storm. At the same time as this campaign, the United Imperial Army of St. Romain and Sanjunia launched the rumored Battle of the Krag River. This unrecorded battle is only known to civilian officers and experts in the military who specialize in the history of warfare, and the number of these people is very small, that is, only in the single digits. All the relevant historical archives of the campaign have not been declassified, and can only be glimpsed in a textbook of internal military warfare examples. In the international historical community, this battle has the official scientific name - "Eastern Barrier Battle", this battle is recognized by the international historical community as the decisive battle of the Tasman Empire in the war of the destruction of the country.

Basic information on the Battle of the Eastern Barrier

Both sides of the campaign

Attacker: The new army of the Saint Roman Sanssunia Empire and the rebel armies of various rebellions against the Tasman Empire, our army (including the new troops) participated in the battle in the early stage of about 190,000 troops, and the number of rebel armies is unknown; By the later period, our army had invested a total of 400,000 troops, and 1.16 million rebel armies from all walks of life (based on the cumulative number of self-reported soldiers of the rebel army). In the early stages of our army the commander was Lieutenant General Harlem Moore, in the middle and late periods of the army was Colonel-General Valentin Xendall. There were many commanders in the rebel army, and in fact there was no unity of command, and there was no record of personnel in this area.

Defender: The Eastern Front of the Tasman Imperial Army, the specific strength is unknown, the total number of troops participating in the initial battle is between 360,000 and 450,000, and according to post-war estimates, the total number of troops invested by the Imperial Army reached 1.6 million. Commanders: Acting Commander-in-Chief of the Middle Front of the Eastern Theater of the Tasman Army, including 3 generals, including General Woerchab.

Strategic intent

Our Army: Annihilate the living forces of the Tasman Empire, so that it will lose its ability to fight against the puppet state of the Republic of Yasenstan, and if possible, directly destroy the Tasman Empire. (Another purpose of the campaign: to use the hands of the Tasman Empire Army to eliminate a number of rebel troops and some defective troops with independent statehood tendencies.) ）

The Tasman Imperial Army: The Great Patriotic War, with all its might, fought with all its might, and finally fought to the death, thwarting the strategic attempts of the United Imperial Army of San Romans at all costs, "to inflict losses on the enemy that they could not afford to continue".

Campaign time

The campaign period was announced: August 20, B96 to September 15, B96. The actual campaign time is: August 16 to September 15, B96. (To cover up the crushing defeat of the vanguard of the outpost warfare.) The campaign in which our army participated was from August 16 to August 23, B96.

The main place of battle

Front: Samlar City and its environs in western Yasenstan. Late: the area on the east bank of the Cragg River, and in some parts on the west bank of the river.

Campaign results

Both sides claimed to have won the battle

Our army captured the city of Samral and handed it over to the Assenstan army after the battle.

The Tasman Empire blocked our army and the rebel army in the line of defense on the Kragg River.

Losses on both sides

Our army's post-war statistics: nearly 110,000 casualties, of which 29,934 were killed (including serious wounds and deaths), this figure does not include the two divisions that were surrounded and annihilated by the enemy in Samral. The rebels claimed to have lost about 200,000 men (the figures reported by the rebels combined), but the actual number should be much higher.

The Tasman Empire did not publish its loss figures, and at that time the Imperial Army was gradually becoming a group of warlords without a unified command, and the various departments were unable to provide accurate casualty figures. Our army has also not carried out surveys and statistics in this regard.

Confidential: During this battle, the forward unit of the United Imperial Army of San Romain, the new 22nd Independent Infantry Division (B85 type division, standardized formation), was surrounded by the Imperial Army's Woerqab troops in Samlar, and the unit was annihilated, and the new 12th Army N36th Division, which rushed to the rescue of the division, was ambushed by the Imperial Army on the way to help, and was also annihilated. According to the propaganda materials and archives of our army, the above two units suffered excessive losses in the battle and were withdrawn after the war.

Campaign background

On the part of the United Empire of St. Roman-Santsunia: In order to defend the fruits of victory and ensure the smooth digestion of the original territory of the Tasman Empire, Speaker Caesar proposed to fully support the pro-China North Asiansenstein army and strike a fatal blow to the Tasman Empire, which still maintains a strong military force. The proposal was unanimously adopted by Parliament. Failing to achieve the goal of armed intervention, our army (United Imperial Army of San Roman) planned to organize 43 newly formed divisions rebuilt from the former Imperial Army units in the control area, 16 field divisions of our army's former Southwest Frontier Military Region, and a large number of supplementary troops from the former Imperial Army insurgents, totaling more than 1.2 million elite troops in the name of volunteers to join the Northern Rebel Army's battle sequence. From mid-July to early August B96, the first "volunteers" entered the territory of Assenstan and were immediately deployed to the front. On August 10, the United Imperial Army of St. Roman-St. Sunia launched a military offensive in the Asenstan region, codenamed Storm, and a series of ensuing campaigns pushed our old enemy, the Tasman Empire, into the abyss of destruction.

On the side of the rebels: The commanders or controllers of the rebels agree that a large-scale participation of our forces will directly lead to the demise of the Tasman Empire. The rumor that "there are thousands of tons of gold and nearly 10,000 tons of silver in the imperial treasury" made these rebel emperors dream of making a fortune, and a considerable part of the rebel army wanted to invade the Tasman ethnic settlement to avenge their ancestors and avenge their ancestors. Many rebel forces took advantage of this opportunity to raise banners to expand their ranks, and some even doubled the number of soldiers in a few days. From mid-August, the rebel armies from all walks of life joined the counterattack for reasons of interest and hatred. In the eyes of our army, this is really a group of pig-like teammates.

On the Tasman Empire side, in early August B96, the Imperial Army failed to achieve the desired victory in the Battle of South Asiasenstan, and the strong intervention of the United Imperial Army and the Imperial Army of St. Mary's made the situation on the battlefield deteriorate sharply. After the no-man's-land sweep of the newly occupied rebel-controlled areas, the Imperial Army decisively carried out a strategic retreat, comprehensively reduced its forces and switched to strategic defense. The Tasman Empire planned to use a number of river geographical barriers in the Siasenstan region to form a defensive line where it would stubbornly hold back the enemy forces, so as to continue to control the economically developed and densely populated areas east of the Karan Canal, such as the West Senstan region and the Kalymia region, as the basis for future domination; At the same time, fortifications were intensified along several river-dense areas along the border of Siasenstan, and a strategic line of defense called the "Imperial Eastern Barrier" was established, with a section of the Krag River as the focus of defense. The Tasman Empire's original plan to "hold the old territory of the main empire of Asenstan and stop the offensive of the rebel army, the United Imperial Army, the St. Mary's Imperial Army in the central plateau of Asenstenstan, Grienral, Vaham and other areas" was almost impossible to achieve. Faced with enemy forces with strong armoured assault forces fighting in these plains, the Tasman Empire had no chance of winning and had to gradually abandon these areas. The Tasman Empire intended to hold on to the Krag River, the Mochinaya River, Samlar and other areas. The remnants of the Tasman Empire were intensively fortified in all these areas, building defensive lines to the standards of permanent frontier fortifications in non-border areas that were originally part of the Empire's deep hinterland. Pessimism and frustration grew in the Imperial army, and some generals privately discussed that they might build such fortifications on the outskirts of the capital. The remnants of the Imperial Army on the Eastern Front were becoming warlords, and some of the generals with heavy troops began to support themselves and did not listen to their commands. After this battle, the more than 100,000 imperial armies on the entire front began to enter warlord mode.

Military Science Popularization:

Mobile defense

Mobile defense, also known as elastic defense, is an active strategy in the defensive form of mobile warfare. He is good at making use of the space and time factors on the battlefield to command troops to quickly move and concentrate troops. In the offensive, the armored forces are used as the assault group, taking advantage of the enemy's indecision and confusion, risking the danger of exposing the flanks and rear, boldly interspersed with detours, attacking the enemy's flank and rear, so as to break down the enemy's entire defense, while the infantry is in the frontal to carry out diversion operations, in resisting the counterattack of the enemy's superior tanks, often use defensive actions and use anti-aircraft guns to shoot tanks to thwart the opponent, and then turn to the counteroffensive. When the enemy retreats, the victory is developed by the non-stop pursuit of tanks, and in defensive battles, armored units are usually used as reserves to carry out counter-shock or counterattack against the intruding enemy. When retreating, it uses mobile defense to delay the opponent's pursuit.

Advantages and disadvantages of the mobile defensive tactics: it avoids dispersing troops on a long front line and avoids a protracted war of attrition. Resilient defense, which can have both the mobility of an attacker and the convenience of fighting at home, often manifests itself in the following forms at the campaign level. The defenders can concentrate their superior forces on the inner line and break the enemy's several parallel outer line corps one by one. The defenders can also rely on their familiarity with the terrain to conceal a certain number of troops, or send a roundabout force behind the enemy's invading flank, and cooperate with the large force in front of the front to flank and flank at the same time. The defenders can also make a large retreat, let the enemy's excessively extended supply lines gradually be exposed, and then attack to weaken the enemy's overall combat effectiveness, and then concentrate their forces for a decisive battle. Resilient defense does not necessarily mean abandoning forward resistance altogether. If the enemy is not given considerable delay, harassment, and damage, the effect of engaging and counterattacking in depth may not be very great. Resilient defense does not require unlimited support from the people, but it does require a more mobile field army and an integrated command mechanism. The degree to which different cultures define the role of the military often determines their acceptance of resilient defense. Because the strategy of resilient defense is to seize favorable opportunities to strike at the enemy's invading forces, rather than to defend the territory directly, military and political priorities are often divergent and even disjointed.
