Chapter 82: Tank, Impact!
In the temporary headquarters of the Einsatzgruppen Corps, Helik frowned and looked at the corps commanders and staff officers sitting below. Because Cherymbin was also in the staff now, he also attended their meeting, and Helik didn't want to hide it from him, after all, he was the deputy commander of the Black Teng Corps before, and he also served as the commander of the Einsatzgruppen Corps, in fact, he was still an officer with a lot of experience. It was only because of the defeat of the bandit mountain that Xiu Lifu was very disappointed in him, which caused a situation of suspension and reflection.
Although Cherimbin had been suspended for reflection, Helik still didn't plan to do too much, and allowed him to participate in the meeting. This meeting was a meeting they held for pre-war mobilization, in order to brainstorm ideas, let everyone express their opinions, and then unify these opinions into a detailed battle plan, which they can use to strike at the lion king's army.
Cherimbin looked at Helik, who was sitting at the top of the house, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, that seat should have been his, but it was replaced by Helik. Although Helik was the commander of the Black Teng Corps, and Cherymbin himself had made such a big mistake before, he felt that he did not need to reflect. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you lose, you lose, and it is good to win back later.
But the current situation is that Xiu Lifu doesn't want him to win back at all, because he has already been suspended for reflection. To put it bluntly, this suspension and reflection is similar to the dismissal investigation. Chilimbin felt that his road ahead was bleak, and there was no possibility of a comeback. So his heart is extremely tormented now, if he can have a good way out, he will definitely not eat here and wait for death.
Helik looked at the officers below and said, "Everyone, you have also seen and heard, now those flying things in the sky of the Lion King Army are above our heads all day long, and I don't know when they will drop a few bombs or strafe a bullet down. In fact, we are all in the same fate now, facing an unprecedented challenge. What are the challenges? That is, in the face of this rain of bullets, we must rush forward bravely to smash the enemy's position to pieces, and then go straight to the Lion King base! ”
Speaking of this, his Adam's apple froze for a moment, and it seemed that he was not in such a calm mood: "I know, the plan I am talking about now is quite difficult for us now. But it's hard to return, it's the only way we go, there's no second one. The strength of the opposing Lion King's base is now only two thousand people at most, plus those things flying in the sky. Can't we even beat them with 2,000 people, we are tens of thousands of troops, I don't believe it, I really don't believe it! ”
The words were full of emotion, which aroused the enthusiasm of the officers below: "Marshal, if you tell us what we want to do in terms of plan, we will definitely implement it to the letter!" The small Lion King army also dares to act in front of our imperial army, even if they have those big birds, what can they do, we are not afraid! Commander, give the order! ”
"Yes, yes, give the order!"
"Give the order, handsome!"
"Defeat the Lion King's army and raise the power of my Balen'ou army!"
"Raise the prestige of our army!"
Seeing that he had mobilized all the enthusiasm of his officers, Helick felt a hint of joy in his heart, and he said: "Okay, that's it, let the Murdosas Corps play the front, the Seedorf Corps will respond, and the Minothy Corps will clean up the mess, and we will start attacking the enemy at eight o'clock this evening." I've already analyzed that those things flying in the sky don't pose any threat at all when visibility is low at night, and even they can't even go to the sky, so it's wisest for us to attack at night. When you go back, let the soldiers below rest quickly, and then eat and drink enough to prepare for battle, and we will be ashamed of it, and let those lion kings taste our strength! ”
At the headquarters of the Lion King Base, Cheng Lei sat at his desk thinking about something, and Qi Mi was also on the side. Now in front of them, of course, is the attack of the Balono, which is the most concerning thing. Although the Balonos have not yet officially launched an attack, they are watching them with fierce eyes, and they may attack at any time, and they must always be prepared to avoid being caught off guard.
But now Cheng Lei is worried about another thing, that is, whether they will attack at night. If that's the case, without any visibility, the Lion King's plane can't take off at all, then the other party will take advantage of this opportunity to deal the lion King's army the heaviest blow. After all, those Balon's people are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they are all killed from the battlefield of Yitos, they still have an absolute numerical advantage, if they are really tough, Cheng Lei does not think that the War Eagle Infantry Regiment and half of the Lion King Armored Regiment can have half a point of luck to beat them.
Although Cheng Lei had already planted a lot of mines at the front of the 768 position, and a lot of artillery bunkers and heavy machine gun bunkers were also set up on the 768 position, but these were all passive defensive measures. In terms of active attack, Cheng Lei has no way to hit the enemy, which is what he is most worried about.
What to do? With the same supply of weapons and ammunition, the quality of the soldiers and the strategy and tactics became their only advantage. However, this advantage can be big or small, and the randomness is very strong, so Cheng Lei does not have enough confidence in his heart to say that they can defeat the enemy with super strategy and tactics to achieve victory.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the starting gun of the Einsatzgruppen Corps was fired, and the three third-class infantry regiments launched a fierce assault on the 768 position in column mode. Their platoon was led by an all-Western tank, followed by infantry, and behind them were artillery that was firing heavy artillery fire at the 768 position. It can be said that the weapons and equipment of the Einsatzgruppen Corps are very sharp, and if the Lion King Army does not rely on the danger of the terrain to defend, I am afraid that they will soon be attacked.
Cheng Lei came to the battlefield in person, because he was really not worried about this battle. The current Lion Army is not the Lion Army that had absolute superiority before, and the current Balonos also have heavy offensive weapons such as tanks, and they also have a large number of new howitzers, which are also good helpers for attacking fortifications. If you don't think of a good way, I'm afraid that the Lion King Army will really not be able to face the enemy's attack.
At the moment when the battle began, the Lion King's position launched a fierce counterattack, and there was their usual mine tactic, so many of the Balono's tanks were blown up, and the infantry also threw down a lot of corpses because of the mines. Then there was the heavy machine guns wreaking havoc in the hundreds of bunkers on the two mountain packs, including bright and dark bunkers, and some places that no one could have imagined would sneak out of a machine gun muzzle to harvest the lives of the Balono.
The Balononians were indeed overwhelmed by the Lion Kings at first, but they reacted and immediately launched a more fierce offensive. After a lot of hard work, the Baron's soldiers took over the mined areas and built their positions.
In this way, the Lion Kings became very passive, because there was no longer a buffer zone between them and the Balonons, but to the point where they could directly engage each other. Now that this life-and-death battle has entered a white-hot stage, the current goal of the Balonos is to occupy the two small mountain bags immediately, so as to completely occupy the entire 768 position, and finally directly take this pivotal passage to the Lion King's base.
Only by taking this hub passage can they further threaten the Lion King base, and they can also have a strong threat to Daheng City. Helik also plans to build a large fortress here, which will directly become a bridgehead for the Balonos in the Far East, from which you can go straight to the Lion King's base or Daheng City, which is definitely a nightmare for the Liedong Federation. But after all, his most important task now is to open this passage, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Helik personally led men behind the three third-class regiments to supervise the battle, and any deserters or soldiers who did not obey orders were executed. This had a great impact on the Baron'ou soldiers, and they also understood that the result of rushing forward was much stronger than withdrawing. If you rush up and die in battle, then you can leave a pension for your family, and there is a great honor. If you withdraw it, you will be directly killed by the warlords, not only will you not have a pension, but you will also be chased as a deserter, and you will die of grievances.
That's why the Balonou soldiers Cheng Lei saw were so brave and good at fighting, and they didn't take their own lives at all. Now they have slowly invaded the bottom of the two mountain packs, although there are heavy machine guns in those bunkers are intensively strafing, but there are a lot of fish that have slipped through the net to come to the bottom of the mountain packs, they are carrying a lot of explosives, after igniting the explosives under the mountain packs, the mountain packs are blown up a few times, and several bunkers will be scrapped. After a dozen or so explosions of these explosives, the bunkers near the lower part of the two mountain packs had been blown up, and it was these bunkers that threatened the Barono soldiers below the most. Because the bunker above not only has poor shooting accuracy, but also many places are out of their range.
After Cheng Lei learned of this situation, he issued the next order: "Pass the order, let the armored regiment start preparing immediately, and make all preparations in fifteen minutes, and directly attack the enemy!" After the guard got the order, he went to inform Yin Kaicheng. This is Cheng Lei's only hand, if Yin Kaicheng's armored regiment is ineffective against the enemy's impact, then Pan Jin's infantry regiment will not have any space to attack, and at that time they can only all die in the enemy's intensive attack, unless they give up 768 and retreat directly.
Yin Kaicheng has been waiting for Cheng Lei's order, and he knows the responsibility on his shoulders. Since the establishment of the armored regiment, he has not really led his troops to fight, although he has been training in the base all day, and the tank has turned over the land on the training ground countless times, but only in actual combat can he really show the true strength of a unit. It would be impossible for Yin Kaicheng not to be nervous, and he tried to calm his mood and not let his mood swing too strongly. Whether the battle below will go well depends on their armored regiment, although he is not full of confidence, but he is also very confident.
Fifteen minutes of preparation time, Cheng Lei, this guy is really surprising, if it weren't for the armored regiment having already prepared, with these fifteen minutes, even the tires of the tank can't be carefully checked! Yin Kaicheng directly ordered more than 50 tanks to enter the battle state immediately, and to maintain the previously prescribed 333 formation when they went into battle. That is to say, these tanks must advance in a horizontal formation of three, with the middle tank responsible for the front, and the tanks on both sides responsible for the left and right, so as to maximize the protection against the enemy's surprise attack.
With ten minutes left, all the tanks were already up and had to heat up first, and although they all had enough gas, they didn't want to let the tanks break down because of the cold at night. Yin Kaicheng inspected the tanks one by one, and in the past so many days, he has become a tank expert, and he can hear which part of the tank has a problem just by listening to the sound, so he listens to the past one by one to ensure that the tank has no major faults, so that it will not be unable to drive back after driving out.
When there were five minutes left, Yin Kaicheng issued another order, requiring that when charging, he should have no hesitation and not have the idea of fear of war. Otherwise, they will be punished very severely when they return, and they may be directly driven out of the Lion King's army and the Lion King's base. Now most of the families of these soldiers are in the Lion King base, except for a few singles. If they are expelled from the Lion King Army and the Lion King Base, the results of their previous efforts will be gone. Even if you join other armies, they will wonder if you are a spy or not, and they will have to start from the bottom, and even you may always be at the bottom in your life. This is something that all the soldiers of the Lion King Army do not want to see, and it is something they absolutely do not want to experience.
Five minutes later, the tanks of the Lion King Panzer Regiment rumbled out from the middle of the two mountain packs, because all the tank drivers had memorized the map by heart, so they knew exactly where the mines were planted in the forward position. In this way, you can avoid your own people triggering the mine and being killed by the mine, in that case, I am afraid that no one will forgive this oolong, not even the tank drivers themselves.
More than 50 tanks rushed out of the 768 position at full speed, and the scene was very grand. When Helik got the news, he immediately organized their tanks to hedge, but it was already a little late, and some of their tanks were destroyed by mines at the front of the position after the previous charge on the 768 position, and some of them were sent to the rear for repair due to damage to the parts. Only a fraction of the remaining tanks, about thirty or so, remained combat-ready, and they had already become a little tired after one battle. (To be continued.) )
