Chapter 768: The fighter ran out of fuel
After the 1st Brigade of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army failed to send about 1 company of troops and 2 infantry fighting vehicles to launch a tentative attack on the south of Laoag City, the commander of the 1st Brigade, Nteleji, immediately dispatched about 1 battalion of more than 400 troops and 5 infantry fighting vehicles to enter the city from the south of Laoag City again, and continued to carry out a diversionary attack on the southern city of Laoag.
After paying a certain amount of casualties, they conquered a small area in the city of Laoag and gained a foothold in the city of Laoag, and then the commander of the 1st Brigade, Enteleji, immediately invested about 1 battalion of troops in the southern city of Laoag, stabilized the foothold of the 1st Brigade in the city, and began to fight with the armed members of the Huaxinghui for the control of various buildings in the southern city of Laoag.
If the attack on the southern part of Rawag was successful, the commander of the 1st Brigade, Nteleji, would not mind returning the southern city of Rawag into the main direction of attack of the 7th Division.
To the east and north of Laoag City, the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army was responsible for the attack on Laoag City, and this brigade was not bombarded by the large-caliber howitzers of the Huaxinghui, and the shells of the large-caliber howitzers of the Huaxinghui were used on the 1st Brigade of the 7th Division, so the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Division, although it was responsible for 2 directions, did not lose anything before launching a ground attack on Laoag City.
The morale of the indigenous officers and men of the 2nd Brigade was also much stronger than that of the 1st Brigade, which had suffered heavy losses, and after receiving the order of the division commander Michael to attack, the 2nd Brigade immediately committed about 1 regiment of troops and 12 infantry fighting vehicles to the east of the city of Laoag. About one battalion and two companies and four infantry fighting vehicles were also thrown into the north of the city of Laoag at once, allowing the fighting to be fought in the eastern and northern parts of the city. At the beginning, it entered a stalemate, and the troops of the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army attacked fiercely. The armed forces of the Huaxing Association are also resolute.
Many of the buildings in the east and north of the city of Laoag were repeatedly contested by the two sides shortly after the street fighting began.
If the two sides continue to fight like this, Huaxing will still have a great advantage, after all, Huaxing will still be considered a home battle, and in the street fighting, they are familiar with the terrain in the city of Laoag, and the armor advantage of the attack force of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army, and because Huaxing will have a lot of shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles, it has not played a big role at all.
However, it is a pity that Huaxing will not fight with the troops of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army. Soon after a fierce battle broke out between the armed forces of Huaxing and the attack force of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army in the city of Laoag, seven F-5E fighters of the Philippine Air Force flew over the city of Laoag again, and began to carry out precise air strikes against the armed personnel of the Huaxing Society entrenched in the buildings and on the ruins in the city of Laoag according to the guidance of the attack force of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army.
Philippine Air Force fighter jets have barely disappeared from the skies over the city of Laoag, and after the seven F-5E fighters have dropped missiles and cluster bombs, five more F-5E fighters have taken their place. Continued mission of air support to the 7th Division of the Philippine Army on the ground.
In the underground headquarters of the Huaxing Association in Laoag City, Yu Jin, the vice president of the Huaxing Association, said to Lin Daxin in a deep voice: "Big brother, Li Bin, the master of the Qinglong Hall, called to ask for reinforcements to be sent to Dongcheng District, under the continuous bombardment of the Philippine Air Force. In addition, the 7th Division of the Philippine Army has taken Dongcheng District as the main direction of attack, and now Li Bin's Qinglong Regiment has lost half of the territory in Dongcheng District, and the Qinglong Regiment has suffered very big losses so far. The Blue Dragon Regiment, which originally had more than 1,500 people, is now less than 600 people. ”
Lin Daxin glanced at the watch on his wrist. It's a little over 5 p.m., which means the battle between Huaxing and the Philippine government forces in Rasag. It has only lasted less than 3 hours, and the Qinglong Regiment, one of the five main regiments expanded by the main force of the Huaxing Society, has already been disabled, if there is no new function that suddenly appears in the crossing ring, Lin Daxin is not sure that under the joint attack of the Philippine Army and Air Force, he can hold out in Laoag City for 3 days.
Lin Daxin said to Jin: "Let the head of the law enforcement regiment, Bao Zai, immediately transfer 1 battalion of troops to support the Dongcheng District of the Qinglong Regiment, and tell Li Bin, the commander of the Qinglong Regiment, to block the Philippine ground forces from continuing to advance to the central city at all costs, don't blindly block hard, appropriately send small forces, detour back to the back of the Philippine ground forces, disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Philippine ground forces, after dark, the Free Corps will launch a large-scale counterattack against the Philippine government forces from the east of Laoag." ”
Yu Jin nodded, the expression on his face was still very heavy, his eldest brother made 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Free Corps, although he knew that they were elite at a glance, but no matter how elite the infantry was, they were helpless against those third-generation fighters of the Philippine Air Force in the sky.
The current situation is that the Philippine ground forces, under the cover of Philippine Air Force fighters, are constantly encroaching on the territory in the city of Laoag, and the eldest brother is ready to send a 1,000-strong free legion to carry out a large-scale counterattack on the Philippine ground forces at night.
Yu Jin frowned and said to Lin Daxin: "Big brother, even after dark, the fighters of the Philippine Air Force can also take to the air to fight, and if our troops of the Free Corps launch a counterattack while it is dark, won't they also be bombed by the Philippine Air Force?" ”
Lin Daxin explained: "After dark, although the Philippine Air Force fighters can bomb Lawagne, but after the sky turns dark, it is impossible for the Philippine ground forces to provide accurate bombing coordinates to the fighters, as long as the Freedom Corps attacks quickly, I believe that the Philippine ground forces will be severely damaged, as long as we can increase some losses to the Philippine Army light infantry division that attacked us, I believe that this Philippine Army light infantry division is likely to temporarily give up the attack." Waiting for reinforcements from other Philippine army units. In this way, we will have more time for Huaxing, and what we need now is time. ”
Speaking of time. A fine light flashed in Lin Daxin's eyes, as long as he was given enough time. He can have a large army of cyborgs, and as long as he has enough time, with the new stealth function of the Crossing Ring and the original function of being able to instantly take items to another time and space, Lin Daxin believes that he will be able to equip the cyborgs with enough weapons and equipment, even including planes, artillery, tanks and warships.
Of course, these weapons and equipment Lin Daxin is ready to perform a brilliant stunt, and now with the combination of the two functions of the crossing ring, Lin Daxin is confident that he will steal most of the arsenal of modern time and space, and even the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in active service in the United States, if needed. Lin Daxin can also steal it, as long as Lin Daxin is invisible, walk to the side of the US active nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and then start the crossing ring, he can bring an active US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the time and space of the Chinese Empire, as for the US Navy officers and soldiers on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, they will be crushed into powder by the space-time tunnel, and then Lin Daxin can easily bring this US active nuclear-powered aircraft carrier back to modern time and space, and equip it with a navy composed of cyborgs.
Next, Lin Daxin asked again: "What is the situation of the White Tiger Regiment and the Xuanwu Regiment?" ”
Yu Jin said: "Big brother." The south and north sides guarded by the White Tiger Regiment and the Xuanwu Regiment are in a better situation than the east, but I just contacted Zhang Baosheng, the head of the White Tiger Regiment, and Xu Bo, the head of the Xuanwu Regiment, according to the statistics of the two regiment leaders. Now the remaining strength of the White Tiger Regiment is only 8 or 900 people, and the remaining number of the Xuanwu Regiment is about the same, but the ground forces in these two directions of the Philippines. However, it does not occupy many urban areas, and most of the southern and northern urban districts are still controlled by the White Tiger Regiment and the Xuanwu Regiment. ”
Lin Daxin nodded. Then he said: "Let Wu Zhanqi, the commander of the Suzaku Regiment, immediately transfer the troops of 4 companies. Supporting the White Tiger Regiment in Nancheng District and the Xuanwu Regiment in Beicheng District, although these two directions are not the main direction of attack of the Philippine ground forces, we cannot be careless. ”
As soon as Lin Daxin sent reinforcements to the three warring urban areas, the ground attack force of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army stopped the attack on the armed forces of Huaxinghui, and also took the initiative to withdraw some of the occupied buildings, shrinking the area occupied in the city of Laoag a little, and then established a defensive position in the direction of the center of the city of Laoag, and at the same time, the Philippine Air Force fighters that had been bombing over the urban area of Laoag suddenly disappeared.
This made the three hall masters of the Huaxing Society, or the three newly appointed regiment commanders, feel very strange, the current situation in the city of Laoag, although the Chinese young people organized by the Huaxing Society resisted desperately, but because of the existence of the Philippine Air Force, the Philippine ground attack force has occupied a very big advantage, according to reason, the Philippine army should take advantage of the victory to pursue, continue to increase the intensity of the attack, and even attack at night to completely capture the entire Laoag City.
It is not yet 6 o'clock in the evening, because it is already summer, the day time here in the Philippines is very long, and there are still more than 2 hours before dark.
Lin Daxin also felt a little unbelievable that the Philippine army suddenly stopped attacking, you must know that according to the normal military deployment, like the situation here in Laoag, the Philippine army should be in one go and carry out an oppressive attack on the armed forces of the Huaxing Society.
However, now that the Philippine army has suddenly stopped attacking, and the Philippine Air Force over the city of Laoag has suddenly disappeared, it is very advantageous for the Huaxing Society, so that after dark, when the Freipulative Corps of cyborgs launched a counterattack, the Philippine Air Force received a request for help from the army, and it could not catch up with the sky over the city of Laoag for a while.
Lin Daxin immediately ordered the three regiment commanders guarding the three directions of Laoag to closely monitor the situation of the Philippine ground attack forces, and not to launch a counterattack on the lost areas of various urban areas for the time being, only to hold the existing areas, and not to let the Philippine ground attack force sneak attack.
In the field headquarters of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army to the east outside the city of Laoag, the commander of the 1st Brigade, Nteleji, who had just walked in, urgently asked the division commander Michael: "General, why did you order the troops to stop attacking?" Now that our 7th Division's attacks on Laoag are progressing well in all three directions, why did it switch from offensive to defensive? ”
The commander of the 7th Division, Michael, had a very bad face at this time, he did not speak, but handed Enteleji a document.
Enteleji took the document and looked at it, and immediately said angrily: "The Air Force actually said that there is no fuel!" What an international joke! Narwacan Air Base, not far from Laoag City, but a large air base that our Philippine Air Force has just built in recent years, with 24 third-generation fighters, how could it be that it stopped its air raids on Laoag City because of lack of fuel? It's not April Fool's Day! ”
Michael said with a gloomy face: "This is not a joke, I have just confirmed this matter with His Excellency Sergio, Chief of the General Staff, at the Narhuacan Air Force Base of our Philippine Air Force, all the fuel used by fighters has been exhausted, and it will be impossible to provide air support to our 7th Division in a short time, and tomorrow there will be third-generation fighters taking off from San Carlos Air Force Base to continue to provide air support to our 7th Division." ”
"There's really no fuel! How is this possible! Nteleji exclaimed.
Michael shook his head, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "His Excellency Sergio, Chief of the General Staff, explained the reason on the phone, because the Philippine financial allocation to the army this year has not been fully paid, so that the fuel needed by the navy, army and air force this year has not yet begun to be purchased, so that the fuel planned for Narhuacan Air Base this year has not been transferred to the past, and the normal flight training of Narhuacan Air Base has begun to be compressed a few months ago, and today's high-intensity air raid operations, The original reserves of fuel in the Narhuacan Air Force have been exhausted, and without the replenishment of fuel, Narhuacan Air Base will not be able to continue to provide air support to our 7th Division, no matter how many third-generation fighters it has. ”
When Enteleji heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "There is still such a thing happening, I really don't know what to say!" (To be continued.) )
