The history of the Tasman Empire, the victory of the dead country, the first article "Extermination"

96 of the B century, the year of the fall of the Tasman Empire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Tasman Empire, a huge country built by the people of the empire through battles again and again by the people of the barbarian race, was once the third most powerful country in the world, and was once powerful and glorious. The people who founded the nation were warlike and valiant in nature, and even at the end of the empire, they fought aggressively and won many major victories. It was these victories that should have been in the annals of history overshadowed by the final victors. But in the internal books of the army, which record the real history, these victories are still almost real.

This and subsequent chapters will show the military victories of this long-perished ancient empire on its way to extinction.

This chapter continues with the first all-out battle of the Imperial Army's counterinsurgency war, the Battle of the Southern Frontier, also known as the Battle of Dalavillar-Wormluk Castle.

After the Battle of the Kalian Valley, the Tasman Empire was not happy to burn and loot in the northern part of the steppe, and they were also actively preparing for the next big war. After basically completing the replenishment of ammunition and looting and stockpiling enough logistical supplies, the Imperial army marched directly to the important town of Dalavillar in the middle of the steppe. This place was the center of the Tasman Empire's rule here, and the name of the place in the Empire's native language indicates that the Tasman Empire had supreme territorial sovereignty over the steppe.

Dala Villar was home to the Tasman Empire's state-run coal mines, and large quantities of coal were loaded onto ships every month to be transported downstream through the Kalian Valley. The coal ship came back from time and space, and then loaded it with coal and went downstream, the Tasman Empire only needed coal here, and those cattle and sheep went down the grassland. The capital's power plant uses coal here. After hearing the news of the rebellion, Emperor Ashina Sabiha's first reaction was to import some coal, or the capital would have to be without power for a long time. At this time, Prime Minister Amssadlier told the emperor with a smile on his face: "We have already stockpiled 200,000 tons of coal in the capital, enough for the power plant to run for several years. The emperor was very happy, and repeatedly praised the prime minister for his good material reserves, but the emperor probably didn't know that the prime minister had been making profits for himself by reselling coal for power plants to foreign power plants.

Dallaveral is also of great significance to the steppe people. This is the place where the steppe people's annual ceremony of worshiping the gods of heaven is held. The area is also an important distribution center for the grasslands, where all kinds of daily necessities from neighboring countries are traded. The Tasman Empire only needed coal here, and nothing else, and those daily necessities were brought from the neighboring countries to the south. There is a monthly Damu Party (Grassland Folk Recreation Monthly, similar to the Naadam Grassland Gathering in Baotou area) to buy and sell these daily necessities. In addition, the Tribal Chiefs' Union Assembly and the Jinchuan Emirate Founding Ceremony were held near this bazaar. It's just that after the war, these ceremonies, fairs, gatherings, and so on in that Jinchuan prairie have disappeared for decades, because there is no one in that area, and even if there are people, they have changed.

After the imperial army penetrated deep into the hinterland of the grassland, it implemented the three-light sweeping tactic, and it is impossible to verify who gave the order or the soldiers spontaneously. Wherever the Imperial army passed, the steppe people would disappear, and their cattle, sheep and horses would all become the spoils of the Imperial army, slaughtering and plundering all the way.

At this time, these big tribal chiefs who had made small calculations to preserve their strength suddenly came to their senses, and they thought that they could lose the battle and talk, but now it seems that it is impossible at all, so they can only fight. The chiefs decided that the various units would unite against the Tasman Empire. The people of the small tribe were slaughtered by the imperial army, the chickens and dogs were not left, and the surrender was also rejected by the imperial army, and some of the surrenderers were tricked by the imperial army into gathering in the cattle pen and killed collectively. The harsh reality made these large tribes realize that this was a battle for survival.

At the critical moment of national life and death, in the face of the powerful regular army of the Tasman Empire, these steppe people can only unite and concentrate all the forces they can concentrate to fight the enemy desperately. The most powerful tribe of Kollo was elected leader of the alliance to coordinate the actions of the various ministries. Note that this is coordination and not command, and until this time the steppe army had not established a unified command. Even at such a moment, some people still want to negotiate peace with the imperial army, and vainly want to buy the fate of their tribe for the imminent demise of their tribe with huge sums of money. This person was none other than the chief of the Kollo tribe, Pota Han Morabi, who officially held hundreds of tons of gold in his hands......

From late April, hundreds of thousands of troops from these tribes began to gather in Dhara Villar in preparation for a life-and-death battle with the Tasman Empire. On 6 May, the number of tribal troops amassed here and around the area had reached 600,000, three times the number of Tasman troops in intelligence. The Clan Alliance Army built three arc or semi-circular defensive lines in the direction of the Imperial Army's attack. The frontage of the line was 30 to 20 kilometers wide, and was divided into east and west parts by the Kalian River, a coal river flowing southward, and each line had trench machine gun positions and mortar positions, as well as anti-shock mobile cavalry units in the rear. The entire defense was 15 kilometers deep, and 200,000 defense troops were arranged. The Tribal Alliance also lurked more than 400,000 mobile cavalry units in the depths of the steppe, and as a real decisive force, they were ready to attack the enemy's flank at the right time to annihilate or inflict heavy damage on the Imperial Army in one fell swoop. The plan was perfect and the preparations were sufficient, but most of the chiefs were still nervous and uncertain about victory. There was one man who seemed to be able to sit still, the leader of the resistance coalition and the chief of the Kollo tribe, Pota Han Molabi.

Prior to this, Chief Pota Hammurabi had sent his eldest son to the Tasman Army to give gifts, a letter of peace was sandwiched with a 10,000-ounce UBS International Bank gold deposit certificate, ten Collor Tribal beauties as gifts, this large golden ticket represented more than 300 kilograms of gold, which was a personal gift to the commander of the Tasman Imperial Army, Lieutenant General Arcanatore. The letter prayed that General Arcanatore would spare himself and his tribe a horse, and that he would be rewarded at least ten times more. The chief thought that three tons of gold would be enough to buy the general, but he did not expect that the gold would arouse the barbarian soldier's greed even more.

On 8 May, the Grand Duke of the Corlo tribe returned, telling his father that General Arcanatore was a cheerful man, and that for twice the price he would "make only a symbolic attack and then withdraw his troops" and "persuade the imperial high command to abandon the military campaign." Chief Pota Hammorebi immediately handed over to his eldest son the thirty large golden tickets he had brought with him. The eldest prince took these large gold deposit receipts to the Imperial Army, and never returned. After this battle, there was no record of this gold being recorded in the treasury of the Imperial Army, and it is likely that General Arcanatore obtained the gold and killed the Grand Duke of the Corlo tribe. The gold, which weighed nearly 10 tons, was appropriated by Arcanatore, who then used the money to bribe his subordinates to support him as emperor.

On the 11th of May, the Grand Duke of the Kollo tribe did not return, but the symbolic attack of the Tasman army began, quite violently.

At 5:30 a.m. on 11 May, the Imperial Army launched an attack, which was carried out only on the west bank of the Karen, with complete disregard for the east bank.

The offensive began with heavy shelling, all with large-caliber artillery. The shocking thing is that the shelling only lasted two minutes, and there is a pinching effect??!! (Objectively speaking, this shelling did effectively deter the defenders, and to a certain extent, destroyed the defensive confidence of the defenders of the first line of defense.) Then came the cavalry charge, and the Imperial Army sent a cavalry division to attack, and this division also reinforced the heavy machine-gun units drawn from four other divisions, and the machine-gun fire was superb.

Seeing that the enemy army was approaching, the tribal cavalry behind the defense line launched a counterattack, wanting to start a melee with the Imperial cavalry. The Imperial Army, which was keen on cavalry swords, was uncharacteristically unusual, only firing rifles, and then the machine guns were quickly erected, and the dense machine gun fire made it impossible for the tribal cavalry to get close. The Imperial cavalry knew very well that their rifles had a longer range than the chaotic guns of the steppe people, and that the dense machine-gun fire could completely wipe out all cavalry impact. The counter-shock did not work, and the Imperial army soon began to attack the line directly. The Imperial troops used light artillery to blast off the point of machine-gun fire at the breakthrough and rushed in. It then expanded to both wings. The Horde Army launched another counterattack, but the result was still scattered by Imperial machine-gun fire. At that time, it was difficult for the cavalry of that era to break through the dense fire network of the opponent just by virtue of their speed.

In contrast to the mobile deployment of the Imperial Army, which concentrated on the use of machine-gun fire, these tribal armies without modern formations would not have used machine guns at all. The Maximine machine guns of the Horde army were scattered evenly along the defensive line, and even more tragic was that the 50mm mortars were also deployed in this way. The Imperial Army could use the light artillery that accompanied the shock to bombard these machine-gun positions, or bypass them altogether.

At 10:10 a.m., the first line of defense of the Tribesmen Coalition Army of the Emirate of the Jinchuan Grassland was completely breached. The Pineapple coalition army arranged 20,000 guards and defensive forces on this defense line, and more than 30,000 mobile shock cavalry were arranged behind the defense line.

At 10:40 a.m., the cavalry units of the Imperial Army began to storm the second line of defense, saving even heavy artillery shelling. This line of defense was the focus of the Horde Alliance, where the Tribes deployed a large number of counter-shock cavalry. The chiefs were going to give the enemy a little color on this line of defense, attack in front, and eat this vanguard division. To this end, they committed 65,000 cavalry, and in order to cut off the rear route of this team, they also invested 15,000 cavalry to attack the Imperial Guard Infantry unit guarding the first line of defense.

At 11:10 a.m., the Clan cavalry launched a counterattack, and the Tasman Empire Army had Clan cavalry units attacking on both fronts and flanks. Undaunted by danger, the Imperial army was well-trained to use horses to form a number of temporary fortifications in a ring, each outer ring of fortifications equipped with a large amount of machine-gun fire, and the rest of the cavalry dismounted to shoot the tribal cavalry with rifle fire. The inner fortifications were dismounted cavalry to protect the artillery and baggage.

The infantry division behind the vanguard division also adopted the same tactic, with the infantry forming several small circular defensive formations in companies and relying on dense rifle fire to kill and wound enemy cavalry. All rifles were bayonets, and each company was a hedgehog formation. Most of the tribal cavalry, wielding sabers or armed with earthen spears, were killed before they could reach the effective attack range.

For a whole noon, a large number of Horde cavalry continued to charge, falling under the fire of machine guns and artillery; There were also those who rushed in front of the enemy and were killed by rifle fire. A very small amount passed through the gap between the defensive rings and redirected the artillery positions, as a result of which they were also killed by rifles.

Who did the Imperial Army learn this trick from? I didn't learn from anyone, I was taught by my own commander. This tactic was invented by General Arcanatore, a ground warfare expert who studied infantry overseas. In the past, it has been discussed, but today it is used in actual combat, and it is really down-to-earth and effective.

In real history, the Duke of Wellington of the British Empire basically blackened the elite cavalry of the Napoleonic Emperor in the Battle of Waterloo. Youku video has,The cliff is a powerful rifle array shooting。 In the War of the Two Crows, in the Battle of Balitai east of Beijing, the British and French forces also made corresponding tactical arrangements.

At 14:10 in the afternoon, the mighty and majestic steppe cavalry attack completely collapsed, and the classicist style cavalry attack was vulnerable in front of the modernist firepower network. The commander of the Imperial Army, General Arcanatore, saw that the enemy in front of him was a group of reckless straw bales, and decisively ordered the cavalry corps to attack the enemy's second line of defense; The artillery units advanced to suitable positions and placed their artillery.

At 15:30 p.m., the cavalry units of the Tasman Empire broke through the second line of defense and were about to attack the third line of the Tribal Army, when they were stopped by General Arcanatore. "It's time to show these chiefs the power of the Imperial artillery," the general said, in fact, he wanted to wait for the cooperation of friendly forces, and this was the first time he had cooperated with this friend.

At 16:10 p.m., the heavy artillery units of the Imperial Army deployed behind the second line of defense of the Horde Army, and the firing positions were arranged.

At 16:15, this friend of Lieutenant General Arcanatore finally arrived. Several planes flew over the exhibition site to indicate targets for artillery firing. This is an army aviation reconnaissance plane that took off from a temporary airfield in the Kalian Valley, and more than a dozen of them are still on standby, and the replacement of each crew can remain in an airborne state at any time. The artillery could fire, fiercely, accurately, and terrified the chiefs. The tribal cavalry units lurking in the war zone were instantly drowned in the artillery fire of the Imperial army.

Before sunset that afternoon, the chiefs were constantly being greeted by mourners. The chiefs have repeatedly praised that this Tasman Empire is indeed the sixth most powerful empire in the world, especially those cannons are really powerful. Portahan Morabi was an eye-opener. Only then did he realize that the attack of the Imperial Army was by no means symbolic, Nima, Torre, you brother-in-law, you took so much money and still played really.

At dusk, the plane finally flew away, and the chiefs let out a long sigh of relief, and in the evening there was something to see, "Let's give him a night attack", "Raiding the camp is the traditional repertoire of our steppe army". But the chiefs probably didn't know that the reconnaissance planes had already reported the location of these units to the Imperial Army ground forces. The Tasman Army was also a quasi-modern force that had evolved from the steppe army, and the tactics of these chieftains had long been seen clearly by Lieutenant General Arcanatore. As soon as it was dark, the Imperial Army began to retreat, withdrawing to its original starting position, leaving only a few hundred volunteers there to ambush and shoot cold guns or signal flares.

At about 1 a.m. on May 12, tens of thousands of Tribal troops came to raid the camp, mainly targeting the artillery of the Imperial Army. The tribal army swam across from the east bank of the river, and some touched it from the depths of the grassland. There was no communication between the various departments, the time was not arranged, the ambush troops of the imperial army provoked with cold guns, and for various reasons, in the dark night, the night attack force of the tribal army composed of more than two teams launched a fierce exchange of fire, and the object of the exchange of fire was the imperial army at first, and later became another tribal army. The battle lasted two hours, with reinforcements on both teams, before the gunfire was quieted and curses rang out everywhere. Then the flares flew and the artillery of the Imperial Army went off......

On the morning of May 12, the chiefs were furious, and fought all night, beating their own men and having the enemy educate them with artillery. They started complaining and cursing at each other. One of the chiefs (A) said that they wanted the thunder to kill them, and the other chieftain (B) walked away. Chief A cursed again that the departing Chief B was about to be blown up, and as soon as he finished speaking, an explosion sounded outside the meeting tent. This curse is true to Nyima.

At 8.15am on 12 May, Tasman planes arrived again, this time bombing. Air strikes were carried out on the headquarters of the chiefs, as well as the camps of lurking troops deep in the steppe. There is no doubt that the sleeper forces were exposed, and the original plan could not be carried out. That morning, the tribal chiefs decided to have a decisive battle with the enemy. The chiefs informed their troops that they were ready to engage the enemy head-on, and a large number of troops were transferred to the west bank of the river to concentrate on the decisive blow to Arcanatore.

On 12 May, Lieutenant General Arcanatore, knowing that his forces were insufficient, ordered his troops to go on the defensive. On that day, the Imperial Army did not attack, but spent the whole day repairing the fortifications. On the morning of 12 May, Lieutenant General Arcanatore learned by telegram that Lieutenant General Woerqab's troops "were approaching the war zone, which was only a day's journey, and was expected to arrive at the war zone at noon the next day." The troops were carrying little ammunition and had few supplies left, and Lieutenant General Arcanatore was required to provide adequate logistical support to continue the operation." (This team is really only a day's journey, not a certain army is just in the telegraph and walkie-talkie, "reinforcements will arrive soon")

Throughout the morning of May 12, the most tense moment of the battle for Lieutenant General Arcanatore, the fate of the two heavy groups was in his hands, and he had to make the right decision. This time period was the most dangerous and debilitating time for the Imperial Army's participating troops. Towards noon, Lieutenant General Arcanatore, after careful consideration, sent a cavalry corps and five separate cavalry divisions, plus a large number of transport horses, loaded with ammunition and supplies, to gallop towards the position of Lieutenant General Vorchab's troops, which was almost all the cavalry strength of the division. He also sent reconnaissance aircraft to provide air alert to friendly forces.

After these cavalry units left, Arcanatore was left with only infantry artillery and a cavalry division, but fortunately, the returnee lieutenant general's best defensive tactics were the infantry and artillery coordination mode. He planned to use infantry artillery to draw the enemy with fortifications, and when the enemy's attacks in front of the fortifications were repeatedly frustrated, the cavalry units and the troops of Lieutenant General Vorqab launched a full-scale attack from the flank and rear of the Horde army, so that the outnumbered tribal alliance army could be crushed in one fell swoop.

At 16:30 p.m. on 12 May, the cavalry of the Arcanatore unit galloped to join the Vorqab Heavy Arms Group and delivered supplies and ammunition to the exhausted officers and men of the Vorqab Heavy Army. However, this assistance caused the troops to relax their vigilance, sending only guard posts, not placing enough defensive rings to guard fire, and not building fortifications around the overnight camp as they had done a few days earlier.

At noon on May 12, the tribal army on guard outside the theater spotted the troops of Lieutenant General Woerqab on the march, a large army, a large number of cavalry, infantry vehicles, and heavy artillery. The Horde army soon assembled an attacking force of more than 60,000 cavalry, ready to attack at dusk while the enemy army was eating.

At dusk, the alert plane flew away, and the Woerchabu heavy army group camped for dinner. The soldiers at the guard post fired enemy attack flares, and the soldiers immediately stopped eating and prepared for battle. Soon, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and tens of thousands of tribal cavalry were about to rush to the scene. At this time, the officers and men of the Woerqab unit had already set up their machine guns and were ready for battle. The battle began, and the first round of attack of the Horde cavalry, which was heavily wounded by machine-gun fire, retreated. Soon they had adjusted their deployment and changed tactics, concentrating their forces on a narrow area. The machine guns in this section finally ran out of bullets, and during the intervals of fire, the defensive line was breached, the saber cut down the designed Imperial riflemen, and the machine gunners without bullets fired with their pistols, only to be hacked to death by the swarming cavalry. The tribal cavalry huddled into the defensive formation, sabers in hand, ready for a crippling slash. The Imperial infantry in front of you is definitely a good target. However, these infantry were fearless in the face of the cavalry, and the remaining infantry formed fire teams in groups of three or five, sniping the enemy cavalry with non-stop rifle fire, and firing with self-defense pistols at the approaching enemy cavalry. The tall cavalry of the tribesmen became the target of the infantry. In the past, it would have cost seven or eight infantry to kill a cavalryman who rushed into battle, but now the Imperial army formed sniper sniper groups, and the soldiers covered each other back-to-back to shoot the enemy, and the tribal cavalry paid several times as many casualties as the Imperial infantry. Compared to traditional cavalrymen armed with sabers, those who shot Imperial infantry with muskets and Mauser guns were able to play a reasonable exchange ratio. Soon, reinforcements from both sides rushed to this area and began to fight with sabers, pistols, rifles, and all kinds of weapons. The Imperial Army also brought in machine guns to concentrate on both sides of the breach, and the artillery continued to fire at the breach, and the tribal cavalry that could rush in to support was becoming less and less. Before dark, the incoming cavalry of the Tribal Army was finally wiped out.

Lieutenant General Woerchabu breathed a long sigh of relief, what a treacherous battle, if the enemy put in more cavalry to attack the area wider, or if the enemy bombarded the machine gun position with artillery fire, then the consequence was probably an uncontrollable fight, and the casualties of his subordinates would be several times greater than the current one.

Back in Dallaveral, the chiefs made a unanimous decision that night to face the Tasman Empire tomorrow.

Previously, the chiefs had received reports that an enemy force was coming from the east, but they did not heed this information. They felt that they should concentrate their forces to defeat the enemy in the front first, and wait until the front was finished. The plan was thus settled, to concentrate forces on the front of Lieutenant General Arcanatore's headquarters, and after annihilating the division, he would then pack up Lieutenant General Vorqab's troops. More than 500,000 troops besieged the Arcanatore heavy army group, and the absolute superiority of the forces ate this untrustworthy bastard; Leave 100,000 horses to guard Dhara Villar and monitor Woerqab to prevent its sneak attack. The chiefs of the tribes were very much in favor of this plan, and even the second son, who did not understand military affairs, was full of confidence. As for the military advisers headed by the earl, "no outsiders can participate in the affairs of the steppe people", and they are not even qualified to observe the meeting.

At this time, the Imperial Army had already drawn up a battle plan and began to implement it. The infantry artillery of the Arcanatore Heavy Group cooperated to rely on the field fortifications to hold on and attract the main force of the tribal army; General Wolcap commanded the main force to attack the enemy's flank and sweep the old nest of the tribal army, Dalavilar. Arcanatore's men had been repairing the fortifications overnight, and Urqab's men were resting and recuperating for tomorrow's attack.

The real offensive does not necessarily come from the frontal enemy, and the main force of the enemy yesterday may not be the real main attack force of the enemy. Everything on the battlefield is in constant flux.

On the morning of May 13, a new sun rose on the grassland, and the day began. On this land, the real decisive battle between the two sides is about to begin, and the Arcanatore heavy army group will face the main force of the tribal alliance army.

Appendix:

Divisional and equipped

The elite cavalry division of the Tasman Imperial Army has three cavalry regiments, one artillery battalion, and one independent cavalry battalion; 4 battalions per regiment, 4 companies per battalion, 2 platoons per company, 2 squads per platoon, 14 soldiers per squad. The regiment has a total of 896 combat soldiers, 596 miscellaneous soldiers, 108 reserve soldiers, and 1,056 war horses. The artillery battalion is equipped with 18 detachable and loadable 80mm howitzers. The independent cavalry battalion has one cavalry company and three heavy machine gun companies (a total of 18 13 mm heavy machine guns, loaded by horses), with more than 6,400 officers and men in the division, and a total of more than 7,000 horses and pack horses. The elite cavalry divisions of the Native Cavalry Division were extremely well-armed in individual light weapons, each armed with three major pieces, a short rifle, a 13 mm revolver and a scimitar.

Ordinary cavalry divisions are similarly staffed, with a poorer configuration of individual weapons, usually only one rifle, and some units lacking machine guns and howitzers.

The elite infantry division of the Tasman Imperial Army has two brigades, four regiments and other logistical support units. The brigade has a heavy firearms battalion equipped with 6 heavy machine guns and 12 60mm infantry guns; Each regiment has about 1,500 men, with three battalions and a machine gun company, equipped with 4 13mm heavy machine guns and 4 light machine guns; The infantry battalion consists of three companies, each usually armed with 6 to 9 light machine guns, 2-3 per company. There are more than 7,500 officers and soldiers in the division. Individual infantry light weapons are average, with 1 rifle, 1 shell gun and 1 broadsword per person. Heavy machine gun caliber 13 mm, light machine gun rifle caliber 6 mm, revolver gun 13 mm.

The establishment of ordinary infantry divisions composed of foreigners is similar, and the individual weapons are usually only rifles and a broadsword, and the corresponding levels of establishment are equipped with less automatic firepower and heavy firepower, and there may be some understaffing.

The revolvers of these Imperial soldiers all use 13mm high-power pistol rounds, which have a very strong stopping effect, and in actual combat, hitting the enemy's upper body can basically kill with one shot.
