Chapter 201: Conquering Sagaro
On the front line of Ramiciu, just as Jim ordered his troops to start packing up, there was a sudden cheer from the front line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When the enemy army pressed and they were powerless to resist, they broke out into cheers, no matter how you look at it, it is so discordant.
"Withdrawn...... The enemy has retreated......" The herald ran excitedly, and he didn't even care about the military etiquette and directly slammed into the door of the command room and shouted excitedly, "General, the enemy has retreated......"
"Really?" Jim couldn't believe his ears, he was about to give up, and at this time the enemy army actually retreated?
"Really, it's true, although only a small part of the troops have withdrawn, they have indeed retreated......"
"A small part? How many troops did they retreat? ”
"About 200,000 are being evacuated to the southeast, and some of the chariot mountain artillery units are being taken away......"
"Southeast?" Jim's brow furrowed slightly, "What's going on in the southeast direction?" Thinking of this, Jim immediately came to the map, the long area along the southeast line is the newly occupied territory of Karabe, looking at this long line, Jim is full of envy and jealousy. Before the Great War, Karabe's strength was the weakest of them, and now, he has fished in troubled waters and quietly left the three forces behind. Now in the Eastern Plains, in addition to Quercus Xiu and Bushley, Takarabey is already the third most powerful existence.
To the southeast, Karabay is active in that area. Now he has taken the plain of Baziri, if there is a war there...... Is that the city of Sacharo?
Jim and the other two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "I thought that Bushley was the one who supported us the most, but I didn't expect that at the last moment, I wanted Calabe to save my life." Once the war breaks out in Sacharo, Quercus will have to fight on two fronts, and the only thing I pray for now is that Karabay will drag on the war a little longer. In this way, Tsumu Xiu had to divide more troops into the Sagaro battlefield......"
As the Quercus troops rushed towards the Sagaro battlefield, Karabe's battle was in the second step. The crowd dispersed, and thousands of tanks lined up in a phalanx to charge the city of Sacharo, and at this time, the defenders of the city had not yet found a chance to counterattack.
The smell of gunpowder almost choked their noses, the roar of artillery fire obscured their ears, and the smoke and dust from the sky obscured their view. The defenders did not give up and did not collapse. Although they had been beaten for an hour since the beginning of the battle, they were not discouraged in the slightest, because they had not yet fought back, because they still had plenty of ammunition in their hands.
"Boom-" After a cannonball exploded, the frontline battlefield in Sagaro City became deadly silent. One second it was still full of artillery fire, and the next second it was silent.
"Hahaha...... Their shells were gone...... Hahaha...... Brethren, the time has come to fight back......" The front-line commander jumped out of his bunker excitedly, ignoring his already charred face, "Brethren...... Artillery ......"
The sound stopped abruptly, as if a roaring rooster had suddenly been choked by the throat. His round eyes were open with a look of hell. Other front-line fighters hiding in the fortifications also rushed out of the fortifications. But in the next second, they also showed a hellish look like the front-line commanders.
While they were hiding in the fortifications, under the fire of artillery, Karabe's army of tanks had quietly arrived in front of the city of Sagaro, and the towering walls had long since fallen into ruins. It was also at this time that the defenders understood the reason for the heavy shelling of Karabe's artillery.
It's not that he's stupid, it's that I'm stupid! In addition to destroying the walls and clearing the roads for the tanks, the artillery attacks also provided cover for the tanks to approach the city. Now that the tanks are approaching the city, the cover of artillery fire is no longer working, and of course the fire is extinguished. And now, the tanks have entered the city, but the 100,000 defenders do not yet know what is happening.
"What? The gates are broken? Tsumu Xiu looked at the battle report in his hand and couldn't accept it for a while, "How can this be?" Didn't we say that our defenders hadn't fired yet? Didn't you say that we still have enough shells? Why did it fall? ”
"The commander-in-chief, the defenders of Sagaro said that the enemy was quietly approaching the tank troops under the cover of artillery fire, and by the time they found it, the tank troops were less than twenty meters from the city gate......
"Fart!" Quercus Xiu suddenly exploded, "Rami repaired the city, 200,000 defenders held out for a day in the face of the enemy's 600,000 siege of the city!" The 400,000 defenders held out for six days in the face of the enemy's 800,000-strong army. Your 100,000 defenders have strong walls, and you cannonballs don't hold out for even an hour? And the face to find this reason? Where is he? I'm going to shoot him......"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief...... This ...... Be...... Be...... Zuo Qi's farewell telegram! Now...... He's been martyred at this moment......"
Tsumu Xiu gritted his teeth and stared at the communicator, his red eyes shining with a lustful light. The trembling lips tried to say something, but eventually turned into a burst of turbid breath in the throat. General Zuoqi, his cousin!
"Commander-in-chief, please pay your respects, General Zuo...... He's a hero! The chief of staff said sadly.
"What kind of hero, who suffered a defeat and lost the city of Sacharo in two hours, and you still say that he is a hero?" Although Quercus Xiu is unrelenting, the sadness on his face can be seen even by passers-by.
"Commander-in-chief, I don't think so, General Karabe has used very advanced tactics!" The Chief of Staff's words immediately aroused the interest of Tsugi Xiu, "In the past, our siege warfare was very routine, not only the enemy knew it, but we also knew it ourselves. However, Karabe's tactics were on the wrong side, and they consumed ammunition at any cost in order to destroy our fortifications and cover the onslaught of tanks, which in the past could only be exerted in plain fields, while siege or street battles were almost a situation in which tanks were beaten.
This is the consensus of the world, but Karabe's tactics have shown us another world of tank combat. It is true that tanks are not conducive to siege, but this disadvantage is not static. Having walls and dug fortifications in front can stop the advance of tanks, but if the fortifications are destroyed and the walls are collapsed, then what is the difference between the urban battlefield and the plain battlefield?
Calabe taught us a good lesson, and although Sagaro was lost, he provided us with valuable lessons. In the future, we can also learn this style of play. A city like Lamixiu, which has been almost completely destroyed, can actually be captured with only 200,000 troops......"
Speaking of this, the chief of staff stopped talking, and the smug Xiu, who was still proud of it, couldn't help frowning, "That's it?" Why don't you say it? ”
"It occurred to me ...... Our tank forces...... Almost eliminated the number ......"
"Hmph, Kinlyia!" A look of hatred burst into his eyes, if it weren't for the stubborn resistance of the forces retreating to Jinleria in the east at the last moment, how could he order the tank troops to charge at all costs, and how could the tank troops lose more than seventy percent?
"Forget it, inform Mr. Cheng, and say that we want to buy a batch of tanks, which will be set at 5,000 for the time being. Don't perfunctory me with the Chinese Ninety-Five Style, I want the most advanced. ”
"That'...... What about our operations? ...... over there in the city of Ramiciu"
"What's wrong? Does it have any implications? Tsugi Xiu asked unhappily.
"Commander-in-Chief, look!" The Chief of Staff pointed to the holographic map on the table, "Ramiciu, this is the Ancient City of Wind, and this is the City of Sagaro." They blocked all three of our routes westward. If you want to pacify the plains, these three cities cannot be bypassed. However, although the city of Ramiciu was destroyed, we were not much better. Now the morale of our army has dissipated a lot under the repeated blows, and once we storm the city of Ramiciu again, the forces assembled in the ancient city of Wind will not let it go, they will gather in this place.
Originally, it was not a problem for our army to attack at an angle, and our army could calmly retreat. But the loss of the city of Sagaro gave our army the greatest trouble, and if they sent troops, our army would be encircled by their triangle. When the time comes, our army will still not be able to resist the flanking attacks of the enemy on three sides. ”
"What then? Let them occupy three cities and seal us off in them? ”
"Not such a commander-in-chief!" The chief of staff said calmly: "It's just that the tactics need to be adjusted, and if you attack the city of Lamixiu, it will be easy for the other two forces to support, but when you attack Bushley and Karabe, their support will not be so easy."
In fact, it is now said that it is a five-party force, but in fact it can be seen as a three-party force. The first is the Bushley forces, which occupy the northern route, the second is the Karabe forces, which occupy the southern route, and the third party is the city of Lamixiu, which is the Jim tripartite. After this battle, Jim's three sides are greatly damaged, and they must hold together if they want to survive in the cracks of the plains. And for the least threatening of us, it is Jim. Therefore, our next strategic adjustment is to focus on Bushley and Karabe. ”
Tsugi Xiu nodded silently with the map, "Yes, Jim, their vitality is badly damaged, and they can't recover in three or five years." However, Bushley and Carabe took advantage of the war to swell rapidly. But which one do we focus on next? Do you have any good suggestions? ”
"Bushley!" The chief of staff said without thinking.
"Why?"
"Because of its location, the Ancient City of Wind is much easier to fight than Sagaro. Attacking the Windy City, we will cut off the route of support from Calabe to the south, so we will only have to deal with Bushley and Jim. After all, Jim's vitality is badly damaged, and even if he can support them, his strength will be limited. ”
"Hmm......" Tsugi Xiu nodded silently, and after calming down, he still trusted the battle plan designated by the staff very much, "What about the timing?" ”
"Spring next year! Now that our army is demoralized, and the morale of Bushley and Carabe is rising, our combat strength is not yet half of our strength in the attack. At the beginning of the spring of next year, after we both have rested, we will have an earth-shattering decisive battle! (To be continued.) )
