161、The First Decisive Battle of the Armored Assault (II)
Suddenly, on the front line of Assam Di Brugel, countless signal flares rose from the Chinese positions on the front line of the battlefield.
The red light seemed to fill this seemingly lively front-line battlefield with few casualties with blood-colored light, and for a moment the air and space seemed to freeze, and countless officers and soldiers on both sides of China and Britain were stunned by this change.
"Damn, the Chinese general attack!" On the side of the Anglo-Indian group, a large number of British officers saw this scene and understood what was going on even with their knees.
"General attack?" Countless officers and men of the Chinese First Route Army were also amazed. In fact, in order to ensure the suddenness of the general attack, the command headquarters did not issue an order to prepare for the general attack, and there were radio communications, so the Chinese side could quickly issue the order in a war.
Immediately afterwards, countless sharp and huge whistling sounds reverberated in this world, like countless locomotives roaring at the same time, like the ghosts crying and howling of the ghosts of the Netherworld, and the tails of countless rockets were intertwined with the red light of the signal flares, which looked extremely charming.
"Boom!" Countless rockets with tail flames fell intensively, like the power of heaven and earth hitting the ground, and the entire area trembled violently under this blow, and then the fire of the explosion erupted like a volcano, and the light released seemed to make the world lose its color in an instant.
The shock waves caused by the explosions collided, strangled and rubbed against each other, forming terrifying tornadoes that stirred up flying sand and rocks in the sky, destroying the covered area.
More than 5,000 rockets were fired at one time on the front line of Assam Bondi Brueger, and the more than 5,000 rockets were divided into five directions to cover the key parts of the Anglo-Indian Corps, and thousands of rockets were thrown into each attack, and its terrifying power instantly emptied the area of twenty or thirty square kilometers, causing five huge passages several kilometers wide to appear on the main defense line of the Anglo-Indian Corps dozens of kilometers long, and the original classic defense line of the British and Indian Army was instantly full of holes
The terrifying shelling stunned the officers and men of both China and Britain, and gave everyone the feeling that I had seen death.
Cheers were soon heard from the Chinese position, and the morale of the three armed forces rose and erupted like rockets; However, the morale of the Anglo-Indian army fell to freezing point in an instant, as if it had been harvested by the scythe of death.
It is not for nothing that a heavy artillery cluster strikes empty a position, but once upon a time in the past and present someone has seen a huge area with a single round of shelling emptying a huge area of several kilometers in length and width? And it's not just one place, it's five places. The huge position, which was originally crisscrossed by trenches, densely packed with fortifications, and had countless living soldiers, instantly turned into a scorched earth, and some fragmented stumps and broken arms could still be seen on the outer edges, but there was nothing inside, and everything was gone.
In just a few minutes, the British army roared in the long-range cannon positions in the rear, and countless shells fell on the Chinese rocket artillery positions. However, the British did not know that their shelling was almost entirely on the open ground where there were traces of wheels, but instead a few shells that shelled Zhu Yuan destroyed several rocket artillery vehicles.
Immediately afterwards, the Chinese long-range cannon counterattacked, countless shells fell on the heavy artillery positions of the British army, one heavy artillery was destroyed, countless shells were detonated, and countless anti-aircraft fire points arranged around were instantly razed to the ground
The bombardment stopped, and the countless H-2 Thunderbird bomber groups in the sky were divided into six huge formations, escorted by fighters, and bombed the positions that were not destroyed like a carpet.
The assault of the tank cluster was like a clarion call for a truly all-out general attack, and with the sharp and loud sound of the charge, the Chinese position launched a comprehensive advance. Six tank regiments, each with nearly 200 tanks, were constantly sprayed with flames and a rain of machine-gun bullets.
The torrent of steel crushed all the way, leaving behind a long string of flesh and blood, and the open space cleared by the salvo of rocket artillery was filled with the charging of Chinese infantry like galloping horses, and the overwhelming charging team flooded the position like a tsunami rolled up by a typhoon
The power of the world's first armored cluster assault was vividly displayed here, sweeping the position like a devastating and decaying situation, especially the British and Indian troops were almost frightened by the terrifying rocket artillery fire, and they could not rise to resist, and even the courage to fight disappeared, and the huge position built by the entire 500,000 British and Indian troops collapsed and collapsed under such an impact.
"Dididi" Countless hurried telegraphs came from the quiet command hall of the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing, China, and at this moment, only the sound of telegraphs remained.
"Cough cough" Li Bufan's cough broke the silence, and everyone let out a heavy wheezing sound as if they were alive.
On the huge sand table in the center of the command hall of the Ministry of National Defense, the flags representing the numbers of the British troops on the positions of the British troops in the Assam area were pulled out one by one like weeds in the hands of the staff officers. Never before has an army been so devastated, so massively annihilated, in such a short period of time.
You must know that in a decisive battle of this scale, every standard small flag represents the strength of a battalion, representing hundreds of nearly a thousand soldiers, and every time a staff officer grabs a handful, it means that tens of thousands of enemies have been annihilated.
I didn't see the sand table staff stretch out their hands once, Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng, and the senior staff of the Ministry of National Defense twitched the corners of their mouths, it was the enemy who died, and they were naturally not distressed, it was a signal that conveyed a shock in their hearts
"It's not bad." Li Bufan nodded, although he tried to remain calm, his voice still trembled a little, and his eyes were as hot as flames at this moment. He had long known the power of the armored cluster assault from Wu Di, the traverser army division, but he was still deeply shocked.
In this era when the armored cluster has almost no natural enemies, its explosive combat effectiveness is simply not too much to describe in any words, and it is not even enough to describe its invincible majesty and posture
"Is this true?" Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng gasped and asked in disbelief.
Chief of Staff Li Huashan said: "There should be no mistake. However, the front line has been sending reports, and we are not able to confirm the results for the time being. But unless the British suddenly drew troops from the defensive line before the war, there should not be much distraction, because these places have already been occupied by our troops. ”
Xu Shuzheng said bitterly: "If this is the case, then this battle is not only the first battle of the armored group, but also the world's shortest, most annihilated, and greatest battle, and it will be an unsurpassed monument in the history of warfare." ”
Duan Qirui said with emotion: "Yes, it's too powerful, even if you kill hundreds of thousands of pigs and dogs, you can't kill it so quickly." "Although the war has been going on for a while, in fact, Duan Qirui has always believed that the Chinese side is in a weak position, and the possibility of final defeat is very large, and even the client has ordered a longevity board (coffin), and when it comes to that step, he definitely does not have the slightest idea of stealing life. However, the unprecedented terrifying combat effectiveness of the armored cluster made him see the hope of victory, and his heart swelled with joy that was almost like a new life.
Li Bufan smiled and said: "That's also because the opponent was caught off guard, and at the same time, the Westerners' tanks can lag behind, and they can't meet the maneuver requirements of armored assault at present." At present, the 'Little Renault' that is still popular in the Western world is compared to our tank, which is simply a small bean dice. Our tanks, not to mention anti-tank guns, are anti-aircraft guns that cannot be destroyed without multiple hits, and this is definitely a steel monster that goes up and down the battlefield. Of course, it will be too difficult for the other party to come prepared in the future, and then it will be too difficult to achieve such a brilliant record. ”
Li Huashan said with a smile: "Dannat, the commander of the Anglo-Burmese army, dreamed of killing our first army, and for this reason, he desperately planned to cut off the supply of our army's front line. He succeeded, because our insufficient deployment allowed him to break through the counterattack, which was enough to entangle our army in Myitkyina, and it did achieve this effect. It's a pity that he didn't expect that our tank cluster attack would be so terrible, and he never imagined that the 500,000 army would not be supported for a day, and the overall situation was basically decided. ”
Li Bufan laughed and said, "That's true. Actually, even I didn't expect it, after all, the other side's troops were almost three times our strength. But in any case, after we defeat the Anglo-Indian Assam group, it will form a huge encirclement of the Anglo-Burmese army on the line of northwestern Mandalay-Myitkyina, and he will be almost unable to fly, and I think it will be very interesting to capture a general of the so-called number one power in the world. ”
On the battlefield of Assam Bondi Bruegle, the steel torrent of the Chinese tank group crushed the Anglo-Indian headquarters, and a group of officers and staff officers on the edge of the headquarters stood in a standard military posture holding white flags, which made the Chinese officers and soldiers who came quickly with the attack of the tank cluster dumbfounded, and a string of telegrams were heard inside the headquarters
"Major General Olife, my dear Chief of Staff, you are making a joke a little too much, aren't you?"
Major General Olife looked bitterly at Admiral Dannatt's almost murderous expression, and his heart was extremely helpless, and he sighed and said: "Commander, I understand your feelings very well, almost no one believes it, but we did confirm it three times, and the answer is the same. Two minutes ago, a call came from there saying that the Chinese tanks were less than five hundred meters away from them. ”
"Hell! Idiot!! Shit !! Admiral Dannatt roared like madness at this moment, and the calm expression and graceful posture that he had learned from the Chinese art of war had completely disappeared.
