It is generally believed that the military commanders of the Tang Dynasty are very cunning and wilted. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info like Liu Sanhui, who pressed a rocket artillery brigade in his hands for so long without using it, it was clearly a big pit for the Germans. After a few days of shelling, the Germans believed that although they had suffered losses, they could still fight against the Tang artillery, and they kept transporting the rear artillery to the front line to replenish it. Even, the Germans began to arrange troops in the depth of the second line, the meaning was very clear, that is, they were ready to cross the river at about the same time.

In terms of military intelligence, Liu Sanhui has too great an advantage; not only is he able to send a large number of military planes to conduct reconnaissance on the battlefield under the guarantee of air supremacy, but also Datang's military reconnaissance satellites are aimed at the battlefield and can shoot a large amount of useful intelligence for him. It is precisely because of the superiority of intelligence that Liu Sanhui grasped that the German army was pushing more and more troops from the depths to the second and third lines, and this was within the range of Datang rocket artillery.

The rocket artillery brigade to which the Western European Army belongs is equipped with 12 Type 03 multiple rocket launchers per battalion, a rocket artillery brigade is not a backup, a total of 16 battalions, that is, 192 guns, and Type 03 300 mm rocket artillery is 12 tubes each, and a salvo is 2304 rockets......

Later generations of military fans always joked that a rocket with a 300 long-range fire is a BMW 7 Series flying in the sky, and a salvo of the long-range fire brigade is equivalent to a generous ** sending thousands of BMW 7 Series to the other party. Advanced rocket artillery is definitely a toy that only local tyrants can afford, fortunately, the Type 03 rocket launcher equipped by Datang Artillery is not the same thing as the 300 long-range fire of the other plane PLA, and Datang cannot afford to use guided high-power rockets, so the rockets used in the actual Type 03 are unguided. However, Datang artillery has advanced fire control, coupled with the characteristics of its own rocket artillery fire density, the lethality performance is actually not much worse.

Under the guidance and feedback of aerial reconnaissance planes and satellites, more than 200 barreled artillery pieces knocked out the artillery positions of the first line of the German army one by one, while the rocket artillery directly dealt with the German artillery and a large number of infantry on the second line. For many days, the German infantry suffered heavy losses, mainly because they were deployed outside the range of the self-propelled guns of the Tang Dynasty and suffered mainly from air attacks. Now a large number of rockets are enveloping, and they are all dumbfounded.

What is even more violent and cruel is that the warheads of many Datang rockets are thermobaric bombs, even if the Germans dug a large number of anti-artillery holes in the second-line positions, but the soldiers always have to breathe, and the air that is quickly consumed causes an instantaneous vacuum, which immediately suffocates a large number of German soldiers in the anti-artillery holes. And the 2,000 rockets that enveloped the area of a large wide area of firepower are basically hell on earth.

Liu Sanhui did not let the Tang artillery open up to export firepower to the opponent in the previous few days, simply to make the Germans have the illusion that the Tang Army was controlling the output of firepower in order to save ammunition, or to make them think that the Tang Army's firepower was not at all.

Attacking with all your might now is simply devastating.

Liu Sanhui would not let go of this opportunity, and the Zhouqiao troops immediately erected three pontoon bridges over the Maas River. The Tang Army, as the defender, took advantage of this sudden high-intensity artillery bombardment to launch an unexpected counterattack. Two infantry divisions were ordered to cross the river to surprise the Germans, and Liu Sanhui also organized airborne troops from all the units under the group army to attack the past at a faster speed.

The fast response divisions established by Datang are amphibious troops, and some fast reaction divisions are established in the form of airborne troops, in short, they are equipped with a large number of helicopters to carry out helicopter airborne operations. There were no full-time airborne divisions on the side of the Western European Army Group, but there were several airborne infantry regiments.

The rapid airborne troops used helicopters to directly cross the Maas River and launch an attack on the remaining artillery positions on the German front line. In order to avoid accidental damage, the SPGs have stopped shelling, or they have pressed forward to attack the enemy at a greater distance. Although the rapid reaction force was a lightly armed force, it was more than enough to deal with the artillery of the German army. What's more, Datang still has Wuzhi to provide fire support in the air, and the German artillery unit was wiped out by the airborne regiment when there were only a few people left.

In half an hour's effort, a large number of mechanized units of the Tang Army had successfully crossed the river, and these troops did not stop, launching an attack on the second line of deep positions deployed by the German army on the east bank of the Maas River. After the war, after a rough calculation, a volley of rocket artillery brigades alone killed and wounded more than 13,000 German soldiers, which was also the most efficient military massacre in almost the shortest period of time.

When the Tang soldiers entered the second line of the German army, there were basically few people alive, and nearly half of the large number of armored vehicles and artillery prepared by the German army were destroyed, and the anti-artillery holes were also destroyed, which shows how good the shelling effect was this time.

After Liu Sanhui learned about this situation through the front-line personnel, he immediately issued a new order. Liu Sanhui ordered his troops to continue the assault, cutting through the follow-up troops of the German army, and inflicting a decisive loss on the 160,000 German troops pressed on the Maas River.

Liu Sanhui's plan can be said to be very constructive and pertinent, as long as the Tang army uses two infantry divisions to break through the German army's two more in-depth defense lines, immediately divide and encircle, and annihilate a large number of German troops, it will be able to achieve heavy damage to the German army, so that the German army can no longer threaten the Tang military base group in the lowland area from the east in a short period of time. Liu Sanhui could turn his focus to the west and deal with the attacking French troops.

This is actually a typical revolving door tactic, taking out one enemy first, and then going back to fight another.

This tactic was very successful at the beginning of the implementation, the sudden attack and artillery bombardment caused a large number of German casualties and the collapse of the first two fronts, and a large number of mechanized units of the Tang Army collided with the third line of defense of the German army, which was also seriously damaged in the previous artillery bombardment, and only fought for more than 20 minutes, and the third line of defense of the German army was broken. At this time, the Tang army began to eat the German troops on this line of defense separately, about 9,000 German troops were annihilated, and more than 10,000 German troops were captured.

Just when Liu Sanhui thought that things were going well, and that he had managed to wipe out half of the German army in one day, on the fourth front, the Tang army began to encounter some challenges. (To be continued.) )
