Chapter 454: Encircling and Annihilating the Allies

The Allied soldiers on attack only felt a shaking behind them, and a huge explosion seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums.

The shock wave from the explosion dispersed the bitter north wind, and the dust and smoke covered most of the battlefield, and the wind and sand flew with blood and flowers flying all over the sky.

The weight of each 406 mm cannon can reach more than a ton, especially after the use of powerful high-explosive grenades.

The Allied attack slowed down, not the Allied soldiers who were starting to feel dizzy and starry, not far from the point of impact. Although there was no direct death from the explosion, a concussion under the shock wave could not have been avoided.

The point of the shelling was directly in front of the Jask Line, a little more than a kilometer from the first Chinese line of defense. There were a lot of Allied soldiers waiting to attack. The dense artillery fire just hit their heads, and the violent explosion caused fragment damage turned this place into a hell on earth.

The shelling is not over, this is only the first round. And at the Jask base, self-propelled artillery units of heavy artillery regiments and armored regiments, also began to carry out shelling. The upward muzzle of the gun sends the shells in front of the first line of defense of Jask.

Naval artillery could not guarantee absolute accuracy, especially outside line of sight, so the target of the naval artillery attack was a kilometer away from the Chinese soldiers on the first line of defense. Ground artillery units, on the other hand, have no such concerns. Their error can be as small as ten meters, and they are not afraid of shells falling on their own heads.

There was also a dense rocket artillery in the shells, pears this already eroded land again. It is already difficult to find a complete corpse on the ground. So far, they are all stumps and broken arms, and even a big push of blood overflowing flesh can be seen everywhere.

The thermal weapons war has turned this area into a Shura field, and if you are not a person with a strong mind, you will not be able to face such a scene calmly.

This desert land, which is originally native yellow, will be difficult to see its original color for a long time in the future. The sand has been soaked in blood and turned black and red, and it is a large area of land, even if you dig down a few tens of centimeters, this color still exists.

Tens of thousands of Allied soldiers. This has led to the current situation here. No one thought to clean up. Time is extremely precious for either party. No one dares to waste their time on this.

The explosion sent a rain of blood into the pile, and many of the Allied soldiers who were attacking joined the pile and became part of the blood in the sky. The explosion tore open the dirt. It's been a long time since you could see the bright red earth. Even the dirt that was blown away by the blast wave of the explosion. It's all dark red.

It's not an exaggeration to call this a hell on earth. The word hell, which is used to depict a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, can also be used here.

The blood that flows is enough to merge into a river, disgusting blood. It's enough to make people have nightmares for a lifetime. If the soldiers who participated in this battle can return alive and recover. Then, any fear in the world will no longer affect them. Because they've practiced deep enough.

The wails of wounded soldiers, the explosion of shells, the sound of burning objects are played out here all the time.

War is merciless, and when the horn of attack sounds, death is commonplace, and everyone needs to face it and get used to it.

The first round of shelling, the second round of shelling, until I don't know how many rounds of shelling, the whole battlefield was completely covered in gunsmoke.

A yellow signal light broke through the smoke and appeared over the battlefield.

"Attack!" The Chinese army, which was already ready and waiting around, sounded the order to attack at the same time.

Tanks roared across the ground, the sound of charging tore through the sky, and the roar of engines came from all directions. The sound of gunfire, which was different from the heavy artillery, rang out on the ground, and dense gunfire, countless barrages, poured down on the Allied troops.

The ship's guns stopped firing, but in the sky, the Hawk-3 and the carrier-based aircraft group arrived again. Dive bombers exploded in the crowd, ground-tore rockets across the ground, missiles turned Allied trucks into balls of fire, and bullets fired bullets that swept blood across the ground.

Inside the Jask Line, the mighty Chinese Tiger King crossed the hills, crushed countless flesh and blood, and the 125mm smoothbore gun sounded the drums of death, and the heavy machine guns on the barrels sprayed the rain of death, launching a counter-charge towards the Allied attacking forces.

The infantry fighting vehicles in the rear followed closely, and the wide and heavy wheels crushed the flesh on the ground. The low turrets on the body, twin 20-millimeter cannons poured down on the Allied soldiers, and the self-bouncing shells made a "bell" sound on the surface of the steel armored vehicle. Some infantry fighting vehicles are spewing blazing flames. The firing ports of the divisions around the car stick out one after another, clearing the lone Allied troops.

At the end of the line were the Chinese soldiers who ran out of the defense line to join the attacking team, carrying their own tactical backpacks, ignoring the flesh on the ground, regardless of the blood and minced flesh on their military boots, following behind the tanks and armored vehicles to cover these steel behemoths.

Outside Jask, in the headquarters of the Allied forces. The phone kept ringing, and all the officers inside were already busy.

"Report, the front-line troops called, the Chinese army in the Jask base sent a large number of tanks and armored vehicles to launch a counteroffensive against us, and the front-line troops have been defeated and retreated. Forward troops request reinforcements"

"The transfer of the U.S. Eighth Armored Division must ensure the safety of our frontal battlefield." Edward Road.

"It is reported that a large number of Chinese troops have appeared on the left flank of our army and launched a surprise attack on our left flank troops, and our army is already at war with the other side. But the opposing side had a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and the left flank troops asked for reinforcements. ”

"Where did they come from, why didn't they have any information before?" Edward Road.

"Looking at the style of military uniforms, it is the Marine Corps of China. The minimum size of the regiment is one regiment. ”

"Dismiss the commander in charge of the guard on the left flank for dereliction of duty, and convey my order that even if I die, I will block the attack of the Chinese army." Edward Road.

"A large number of Chinese troops appeared on the right flank,... Our army could no longer resist and asked for reinforcements. ”

"The infantry of the two divisions in the rear has been defeated by the Chinese paratroopers and asked for support."

The continuous bad news made Edward almost go crazy, none of it was good news, and there were calls for help on all sides. This makes this US Army lieutenant general, who has been on the battlefield for most of his life, really hard to believe.

The situation changed so quickly that in only three days, Chinese reinforcements arrived in thousands of miles. And also organized such a full-scale attack, surrounded on all sides. What made Edward feel even more hateful was that so far, he had not figured out the number of Chinese reinforcements. The calls were all messages of constant defeat and calls for help, and there was not much useful information at all.

"Send a telegram to General Bradley immediately, asking whether to continue the offensive or to break through and retreat." Edward can't care about his feathers now, the form of the battlefield is already very unfavorable to the Allies, and a decision must be made as soon as possible. And what to do next, he directly handed over the puzzle to Bradley.

"Order: All the troops who are engaged in an exchange of fire with the Chinese army must be resisted to the death. Tell them that there are no reinforcements, no help, that they hold their positions tightly, and that no one is allowed to retreat. Order all the troops that have not participated in the battle to immediately assemble, move closer to our troops, and make every effort to counterattack the enemy head-on with our army. ”

No matter how powerful the Chinese reinforcements were, the Chinese army that Jask attacked head-on was definitely the weakest of the four sides. With three consecutive days of fighting, no matter how elite the troops are, they will lose a lot of combat effectiveness.

Edward took a fancy to this, and the specific situation on the other three sides is not clear, and there is no need to be clear for the time being, as long as he can defeat the Chinese army coming from the front. The other three sides will not be concerned at all, and the Allies will be able to drive straight into Jask.

At the same time, the Chinese troops who had come out of the Jask counteroffensive compressed the front to two kilometers, a width that happened to be the gathering area of the Allied troops. On average, there is a tank within thirty meters, and the tank is followed by an infantry fighting vehicle, followed by a large group of Chinese soldiers.

The iron flow was rolling, and the Chinese army coming down from the battle line was covered with blood under the tracks, under the wheels, and on the military boots. Especially in the tracks, there is not only minced meat, but also some white bones, and some bones are stained with flesh and blood.

But no one cares about this, because there are countless enemies waiting to be destroyed in front of them. Especially those Allied soldiers armed with anti-tank weapons, every time they appeared, it was the excitement of the Chinese soldiers.

The most direct targets of these soldiers who follow behind the tank are those infantry who can threaten the tank. The second is to kill and damage the enemy, and in the field of vision, as long as there is an Allied soldier with an anti-tank rocket launcher on his shoulder, he will become a priority target.

"Attention ground troops, a large number of Shermans have been spotted ahead of you." The on-board radio of the tank unit carries a warning from the Air Force.

"Form an attack formation, so that the little guy of the Yankees is often the power of our Tiger King."

With the order of the commander of the tank unit, the tank units that rushed forward left to change formation, the distance between them was again a little wider, and the infantry fighting vehicles behind slowed down a little.

"Full speed ahead, occupy the hills ahead, stop at the highest point, condescend to me, and beat them hard."

On the route of the attack, there happened to be an arched hill, blocking the path of the Chinese army's attack. Occupy the commanding heights, which is also very important in tank warfare. Especially for the current situation when the firing angles of the tank cannot form a high elevation angle, the importance of occupying the commanding heights is even more prominent.

And those Allied soldiers who were driven out and retreated, in the face of the Chinese tanks that had already increased their speed, could only lay down their weapons and raise their hands, ready to surrender to the Chinese soldiers who followed behind. However, to the surprise of the Allied soldiers who raised their hands in surrender, the tanks drove past them, the infantry fighting vehicles also drove past them, and even the Chinese infantry who followed behind them also ran past them.

No one pays attention to them, no one cares about them, they don't exist as if they don't exist. (To be continued.) )
