Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 122 A fierce battle is coming
Cha is 6 combat units. The last one to reach the battlefield. In the fifth battle, the encounter after the seven recollections was not much better than that of the eighth combat unit. Although Jiang Wancheng was mentally prepared and knew that he would fight under the enemy's artillery fire. But when it came to attacking Osmaniye, he was still very unaccustomed. To put it mildly, after the Peninsular War, the Republic Army has never fought a vicious battle in a disadvantaged environment, and almost every time it has absolute superiority, and many units do not know how to complete their tasks and achieve victory under the enemy's firepower.
It is not a question of which unit of the Eighth Combat Unit, or the Fifth Combat Unit, but of all combat units of the Republic Army. Although in the battles of the previous days, the combat units performed well. However, judging from the offensive of the 1st Combat Unit in Van Province and the defensive operations of the 9th Combat Unit in Syria, it is sometimes difficult to complete the mission even without the support of its own artillery fire, let alone the completion of the combat mission under the enemy's artillery fire.
Highly dependent on support forces. This is not only an achievement in the national defense construction of the Republic, but also a major drawback.
In previous wars, because they were facing a much weaker enemy, the mutual coordination and cooperation between various units was able to maximize their combat capability and achieve victory at the lowest cost. It can be said that in the face of the overwhelming majority of the enemy, there are no problems with the military system of the republic. This military system, which is highly dependent on coordination and coordination, is only problematic in the face of a sufficiently strong enemy. To put it bluntly, in the face of a strong enemy, it is impossible to ensure superiority in all aspects and in all locations, and if the troops cannot fight without support and cooperation, then the republican ** team can only deal with weak and small countries forever, and cannot compete with large countries.
Of course, this problem also exists in the US military, and it is very prominent.
Ordinary people don't think about this problem, but Pei Chengyi has to think about it. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read
It's just that when fighting the enemy, Pei Chengyi will only think about this problem when planning the battle at most, and will not spend too much energy to find a solution to the problem, which is after the war.
When the U.S. forces stormed Bakhche, Pei Chengyi did not let the fifth combat unit return to defense, but asked Jiang Wancheng to continue to attack Osmaniye, striving to break through the outer defense line of the U.S.-Turkish coalition forces and push the battle line into the city.
Jiang Wancheng is not stupid. I know very well the intention of Pei Chengyi's order.
Osmani was a medium-sized city with a large population, and because the 8th and 5th combat units had been in the rear very quickly, most of the citizens did not have time to move elsewhere before the fifth combat unit cut off its external access. According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, Osmaniye still had about 10,000 to 10,000 people. Whether the U.S. military wants it or not, when there are still a large number of civilians in the urban area, it is certainly not possible to use covered artillery bombardment against the Republican ** team that has entered the urban area.
Actually, before that. The fifth combat unit has had enough of the long-range artillery fire of the American army.
When fighting with the "Tiger Brigade" of the 2nd Armored Division, Jiang Wancheng had to break up the troops into company-level units, so that the distance between companies was maintained at a distance of more than 2 kilometers, and the tanks and combat vehicles in the company must be maintained! The distance between the two meters and each company has to pay attention to the latest intelligence on the tactical information sharing platform. And according to the tactics arranged by the command center, the assault route is flexibly chosen. In any case, the purpose of these practices is to keep the troops as crowded together as possible during the assault, and to adopt an irregular offensive route to avoid American artillery fire. Although Jiang Wancheng's deployment had a relatively obvious effect, and only about the time of the tanks and combat vehicles damaged in the battle were destroyed by long-range artillery fire from the US army, due to the dispersion of the troops, the command center was unable to command all combat units at the same time, and thus failed to annihilate this unit after defeating the "Tiger Brigade." More importantly, the battle losses of the ships were too scattered with the troops, and the combat companies could not cope with each other, and were attacked by the enemy from the flanks.
In the circumstances of the time. Even if Pei Chengyi didn't give the order, Jiang Wancheng would lead his troops into the city of Osmaniye.
In fact, from the very beginning, the single purpose of the Fifth Battle was to enter Osmaniye and use the civilians in the city as "shields". Let the U.S. troops throw a rat when using long-range artillery fire, and dare not go all out, so that the fifth combat individual can get a respite.
If he had remained in the wilderness, the Fifth Battle would have lasted alone until the morning of the old day.
At that time, there were still people who thought. Fifthly, the fighting individual should retreat towards Bakhche.
Retreat is not a problem, with the sudden abundance ability of the first concubine combat unit, it will be possible to reach Bakhce in a few hours. The problem is, as mentioned earlier, Bahche is such a large place with a very limited capacity. The Eighth Combat Unit has finally settled all the officers and men, so how can it have the energy to take care of the Fifth Combat Unit? Under the circumstances, the retreat of the 5th Combat Unit to Bakhce would not only fail to ensure safety, but would also bring together the scattered forces and make them an excellent target for American artillery shelling. More importantly, if the 5th Combat Unit retreated to Bahche, the main forces of the 2nd Panzer Division, operating on the Osmaniye side, would also follow to Bakhce and besiege Bahce with the 4th Infantry Division. Even if the U.S. military still does not have a superiority in strength, as the density of troops on both sides increases, the situation on the battlefield will inevitably become more chaotic.
It can be said that Jiang Wancheng has no other choice but to fight to the death in Osmaniye.
When a combat unit is cornered, the combat power that bursts out
Day before evening. The 5th Combat Unit crushed seven massive counterattacks of the 2nd Panzer Division in the south-western direction of Osmaniye, using only the equivalent of 2 battalions. Although the troops that fought the attack suffered heavy losses, they were nothing compared to the attacking forces of the American army. According to the information published by the US Pentagon after the war. In the daytime fighting, the 2nd Panzer Division lost at least a number of tanks and a number of jujubes, killed officers and men, and wounded officers and men.
Compared with the results achieved, the impact of the assault on the southwest direction was even more significant. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read
Because the assault was so fierce that the American army suffered extremely heavy losses, even Duchway believed that the fifth combat unit would bypass Osmaniye and attack Iskenderun directly. Although battlefield intelligence proved that Duchway's fears were a bit unnecessary, as the supreme commander, Duchway had to consider the worst-case scenario. The fifth battle alone will not attack Iskenderun, and should also concentrate forces against the 2nd Panzer Division.
In any case, as a result of this, the main forces of the 2nd Panzer Division were not stationed in Osmaniye.
Judging by the battles that followed, this was definitely one of the key factors affecting the entire occupation.
Although there is no way to confirm this, on the morning of the next day, Jiang Wancheng ordered troops equivalent to two combat battalions to storm in the south in preparation for the night attack on Osmaniye. Because Pei Chengyi only ordered the 5th Combat Unit to attack Osmaniye in the middle of the night, and before that, Pei Chengyi's orders were to destroy the living forces of the 2nd Armored Division, and to attack Osmaniye and Iskenderun, it was Jiang Wancheng's ability to accurately do so, he should know that in the case of Bakhce being attacked and the logistics support line being cut off, it was impossible for the 5th Combat to kill the 2nd Panzer Division alone, and it was impossible to withdraw from the battlefield from Bakhche. There is only one way out, and that is to storm Osmaniye.
From this it can be concluded. Jiang Wancheng is a front-line general with a great view of the overall situation.
Day and night, taking advantage of the cover of night, the combat units of the 5th combat unit began to concentrate to the northwest of Osmaniye.
Although the U.S. artillery bombardment was still intermittent, the night was still the best color of protection for the troops. In an era when the means of jamming are changing with each passing day and the jamming equipment is becoming more advanced, it will not be too difficult to get a unit to act covertly in a short period of time. Of course, concealment is very time-sensitive. In any case, the means of detection and reconnaissance equipment are also improving, and as long as the size of the force is large enough, it will be difficult to conceal it.
According to the recollections of some officers and soldiers of the 5th combat unit, almost all of them at that time thought that it was necessary to break through to Bakhche.
It wasn't until Pei Chengyi came to give the order to attack that Jiang Wancheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jiang Wancheng, as a "veteran" who followed Pei Chengyi to participate in the Indian War, has no reason to doubt Pei Chengyi's ability, there is reason to believe that it was only at this time that Jiang Wancheng breathed a sigh of relief, because this order meant that Pei Chengyi did not regard the fifth combat unit as a unit that could be sacrificed for victory.
In the absence of other options, the 5th combat unit unleashed first-class combat effectiveness.
The offensive began late in the evening, and by the early hours of the morning the advance had reached the city of Osmaniye, and at about 2 a.m., all the combat units of the Fifth Combat Unit, which had taken part in the front-line operations, including the combat brigade and some of the support brigades, had entered the city.
Access to the city. It doesn't mean you can take a break.
In the face of the frantic counterattack of the American and Turkish forces, the 5th Combat Unit was able to gain a foothold in the city and control the situation in the occupied area.
The problem of stabilizing the footing is not big, and it is more troublesome to stabilize the situation.
Anyway. By the early hours of the old days, the Fifth Combat Commander no longer had to worry about the artillery strikes of the American army.
This, of course, meant that the 8th combat unit in Bakhce had to withstand all the artillery fire. Fortunately, the 8th Combat Unit had already established a position and was able to resist the artillery fire of the American troops. In those days, an airborne brigade could hold out for several days under the heavy blows of the US military, and now a combat unit will certainly not be far behind.
After receiving Jiang Wancheng's report, Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief.
This time. The sky over Gwadar Port is about to light up.
According to Pei Chengyi's habit, when the staff officer sent him in early, he was thinking about the situation on the battlefield and had no appetite.
The battle in the Osmaniye direction was basically stable, but the 5th and 8th combat units held out for too long, after all, neither of the two fighting armies could get logistical support, and the US-Turkish coalition forces would attack Bakhce and Osmaniye at all costs.
According to Poison Chengyi's prediction, as long as the US military suffers in the battle, it will hand over the responsibility of the offensive to the Turkish Defense Forces and let the Turkish army be cannon fodder. It will only take 2 to 3 days, and when the combat materials of the 5th and 8th combat units are almost depleted, the US army will launch a general attack.
Other words. Radiance returns to the sky, and we must try to regain the initiative.
In the Diyarbakir direction, the 10th Battle Single used flank outflanking tactics to force the seriously undermanned US 7th Infantry Division to shrink its defensive line, voluntarily abandon the defensive position west of Gusmir, and withdraw to Qiangabakir. As soon as it entered the early morning of the old day, the 10th combat unit surrounded Diyarbakir, and Li Dongshi asked the artillery brigade to carry out irregular artillery bombardment of the US-Turkish coalition forces in the city to prepare for the siege battle.
It can be said that Li Dongshi's performance is definitely a bright spot in this war.
When Tang Yinglong asked him to fight the unit, almost everyone thought that this came from airborne! The "Fourth Xin Army will turn the 10th Combat Unit into the most capable of fighting positional defensive warfare in the Republic Army. Some people even joked that Li Dongshi was a steel plate that could not be broken. Of course, this is by no means a word of praise. After letting the 10th combat unit play, Pei Chengyi was also a little worried about whether Li Dongshi could perform well in the attack. Judging from the battles of the 10th Combat Unit in the past few days, although its offensive capability is not outstanding, Li Dongshi's command is very measured, and every step he takes is very down-to-earth. never let Pei Chengyi worry about him. In fact. This is the most valuable ability. Since the 10th battle alone defeated Bismir. Pei Chengyi believed that Li Dongshi was definitely the kind of general who could make any enemy general feel fearful and timid, whether in defensive or offensive battles, he could achieve victory.
There is no doubt that Ling Yunxiao belongs to another kind of general.
Although judging from the performance of the first battle after participating in the battle, Ling Yunxiao is much more stable than before. It makes people feel that there is a little bit of aura missing. But a few classic actions of the first combat unit, such as the capture of the city. and the battle against Sierte proved that Ling Yunxiao was still a catty. An offensive general known for his tactical flexibility.
While the 10th Combat Unit was besieging Abakir, the 10th Combat Unit was assembling towards Bismir.
According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, the vanguard of the US 1st Strategic Division will be able to reach Diyarbakir as soon as the morning of the old day, and Duchway will also use tactical transport planes deployed in Icher to transport the combat equipment and combat materials needed by the 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Tank Strategic Division to Diyarbakir starting in the morning of that day. Because Duchway had already issued an order to hold Diyarbakir at all costs, the Turkish authorities not only urgently dispatched two additional divisions to Diyarbakir, but also authorized Diyarbakir's defense command to carry out local war mobilization, that is, to recruit soldiers and civilian workers from among the citizens to participate in the city's defense operations and the construction of defensive positions.
All in all, it is unlikely that the 10th Combat Unit will be able to take down the Persecution of Abakr alone.
Because it was impossible to increase troops in that direction, Pei Chengyi had to let Yuan Chenhao make full use of the troops in his hands. Lay down Diyarbakir as soon as possible.
Of course, Yuan Chenhao carried out Pei Chengyi's order very accurately.
In addition to having the first combat unit assemble in Bismir, Yuan Chenhao also sent an Iranian division and the Iraqi brigade under his command, including the only armored brigade in the Iraqi army, the No. 1 thug armored brigade nicknamed "Hussein". It is also the only brigade in the Iraqi Army that is equipped with a lead-in main battle tank and an infantry fighting vehicle.
Unlike the Iranian Army's three old and notched units, the Iraqi Army's two main battle equipment were provided by the Republican authorities free of charge and directly transferred by the Republican Army. Although they are all second-hand goods, compared with the "first-hand goods" purchased by Iran, the performance of these second-hand goods is more advanced because they are not formulated in accordance with export standards, especially the preparation of protective products. It is precisely for this reason that the Iranian authorities have seriously protested against this, believing that the arms they have bought with their own money are not as good as the arms obtained by others for free, and have demanded a reasonable explanation from the authorities of the Republic.
At the height of the uproar, the Iranian government, in the name of the National Defense Forces, even hired a team of lawyers from the Republic to take the State Council of the Republic to court and accuse the Government of the Republic of trade fraud. Of course, nothing will come of such an accusation. After the authorities of the republic promised to sell more advanced equipment, the Iranian authorities withdrew the indictment on their own initiative.
In general, Yuan Chenhao has chips in his hand.
The total strength of the Iranian division and the 3 Iraqi brigades is close to the old 10,000, even if the US-Turkish coalition forces plan to fight a meat grinder-style war of attrition in Diyarbakir, Yuan Chenhao has nothing to worry about, anyway, the one who goes up to serve as cannon fodder will definitely not be the combat unit of the republic.
The situation on the southern front has also stabilized.
After a night of fierce fighting. Both sides are exhausted, and the situation on the battlefield is extremely chaotic, the battle lines are staggered, and both sides have to sort out their heads first, regardless of whether they go offensive or defensive. According to Su Jinhui's calculations, as long as the US-Israeli coalition forces stop operating, the ninth combat unit and the second combat unit will stop large-scale combat operations after dawn. If all goes well, the deployment adjustment will be completed during the old daylight, and the battle can start again after dark at the earliest.
Because the decisive battle has begun. So the Syrian authorities have already begun war mobilization.
According to Su Jinhui's report. By the evening of the old days, at least 3 Syrian divisions were able to reach the front line and help 2 support brigades consolidate the defensive line. Because the Syrian army lacks the ability to cooperate with the republican ** team, Su Jinhui only let the Syrian army be responsible for defense and logistics support tasks.
Pei Chengyi did not think that the Syrian army was so incompetent, but he promised not to interfere in the front-line command, so he did not interfere in the command work. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishanwa plus 8 four, please log in to read
For Pei Chengyi. The most important thing to think clearly about is definitely to determine as soon as possible which battlefield to send the 6th combat unit to which it is about to arrive.
You know, this is the last combat unit he can get in Old Mustard.
Because the decisive battle ** is very likely to come on the day or day, this is also a combat unit after the poison obtained by Pei Chengyi before this.
How to use this combat unit will be crucial.
