Chapter 445: Attack from Two Sides (I)

Xu Xiangnan's mind Pershing naturally understood that when the large army led by himself was defeated in the hands of the Chinese Guards, which had a small number of people, he was fully qualified to question his own combat effectiveness, and he could refuse him so euphemistically, Xu Xiangnan was already very polite.

Although he knew that his own combat effectiveness was not flattering, Pershing's heart was still a little unconvinced, as a soldier, who would be willing to think that his elite was inferior to the armies of other countries, Pershing's face was red and white, and after a while he said: "We are very grateful that your army went deep into the tiger's den to save our army from danger, but now we have to work together and return to the Yaman Empire, we should also do our part." ”

Seeing Admiral Pershing's firm eyes, Xu Xiangnan also knew that he couldn't get too stiff with this Boston officer, if the other party was too weak to come to the stage, it would be easy to cause unhappiness in the cooperation between the two armies in the future, at least until the end of the war, they were still allies, and it was better to be harmonious.

After thinking for a while, Xu Xiangnan raised his head and said: "In this way, there is a small mountain range in the north of the Baden region, which is the remnant of the northern foothills of the Alps, if we form a breakthrough in the Baden area, the northern defense line of the Saar army will inevitably be reinforced to the south, and this is the only way, I hope that your troops can hold on here until our army or the Yaman army reinforces the past, so that we can take back the Baden area." ”

After thinking for a long time, Admiral Pershing nodded and said, "Mine, we will definitely be able to hold here." Xu Xiangnan nodded and didn't say anything more.

As soon as it was nightfall, Pershing set out with more than 10,000 of his men. Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, Xu Xiangnan sighed, he was very uneasy about these people, no matter what their combat effectiveness and will to fight were, but in the breakthrough they gave up all their heavy weapons, and it was very difficult to defend like this.

"Xiao Hua." Xu Xiangnan called his most trusted comrade-in-arms, Chief of Staff Xiao Hua.

"What's the matter, Commander, what's the matter?" The large army was about to set off, and now Xu Xiangnan stopped him, making Xiao Hua think that something was wrong.

Xu Xiangnan pointed to the Boston army that had gradually disappeared into the night and said: "I am very worried about their defense, you take the third division and follow secretly, if they can hold it, you should be a reserve, if they can't hold it, you will take over the position, and you must not let the Entente army rush over." ”

Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Okay, it's just that I took a division, is your army enough?" ”

Xu Xiangnan said with a smile: "There is no problem, I have calculated, as long as it is taken by surprise, it can completely disrupt the deployment of the Entente." ”

The night was getting darker, Xu Xiangnan, who was crawling not far from an artillery position of the Entente, glanced at the luminous watch, at this time it was already five minutes and three o'clock, this time was the most difficult time for people, and the position of the Entente on the opposite side must be very lax.

In another five minutes, the opposite Yaman army will attack, first attracting the attention of the Entente, and then the Iron Army will attack from behind, completely disrupting the Allied defenses, dividing them all and annihilating them, so that the Baden region can be recovered.

The rumbling sound of the engine sounded at three o'clock punctually, and all kinds of planes of the Imperial Chinese Air Force flying at night instantly filled the sky, and a string of bombs fell on the Allied defense line, blowing up the flames.

Cluster bombs are also called sub-bombs, or butterfly bombs. It is a large number of small bombs packed together for dropping, and when the mother bomb explodes, it can be projected in all directions, causing extensive damage within a certain range. This kind of bomb has a very strong ability to destroy targets such as troop assembly areas, armored clusters, airstrips, and trenches, and is definitely a powerful air-dropped weapon.

This kind of bomb has long been developed by the Chinese Empire, but the explosion rate of submunitions has always been only half, and many submunitions that do not explode after ejection have great hidden dangers to the battlefield cleanup after occupation, so cluster bombs have not been put into actual combat, and recently a genius researcher designed a high-sensitivity fly-by-wire delayed explosion fuse to solve this problem, so that the explosion rate of submunitions has suddenly increased to more than ninety to five, so this back transfer weapon, cluster bombs were designated by Fang Xiaoyu in the list of combat.

The dense rain of cluster bombs fell on the Allied positions, each of which could blow up a scorched earth within a radius of 100 meters, so that the Allied soldiers could no longer pay attention to the possible attack of the enemy. Immediately afterwards, the artillery of various calibers of the Yaman army also began to bombard, and the flashing fire reflected half of the sky, illuminating the battlefield.

As the shelling began, the Jarman chariots took the lead, and the Jarman army, armed with rifles, quickly rushed to the Entente positions. The barbed wire fence was rushed by the chariots, and the infantry behind placed planks on the anti-chariot trenches to allow the chariots to pass, and when the Allied forces were in disarray, the Yamans launched a massive offensive and successfully occupied two lines of defense.

Soon after the Yaman artillery fired, the artillery positions of the Sahr people were busy, and a large number of artillerymen ran to the positions in all kinds of thin clothes, apparently they had just woken up from their sleep, and they did not even have time to put on their uniforms.

Carrying the shells back and forth, even the soldiers of the defense unit also ran to help, some people adjusted the angle of the cannons, cleaned the chambers, the artillery commanders desperately shouted that the artillery would transport the shells over, and the whole artillery position was noisy.

"Sortie." Xu Xiangnan gave an order, all the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army could hear it clearly in the short-range communicator, near the artillery positions of several Allied countries, dense gunfire suddenly rang out, mixed with the explosion of many mortars and bazookas, and the sudden blow, the artillery of the Entente countries suddenly panicked, and they had not trained in melee combat in ordinary times, and when the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army in camouflage uniforms rushed in front of them, they no longer knew what to do.

Three red flares rose into the air, which was the agreed signal that the Allied artillery positions had been occupied. Seeing this signal, the Yaman Empire's attack became even more frenzied, and Xu Xiangnan also relied on these artillery positions to send a large number of small forces to infiltrate the interior of the Entente positions, destroying their rear communications and command systems, and the defeat of the Entente forces was doomed.

Gao Wei and more than 30 soldiers under his command also sneaked into the Allied position, and they solved several small Allied teams in a row, and soon penetrated two kilometers into the position. The further Gao Wei went, the more puzzled he became, and he didn't know why, they encountered the small forces of the Entente more and more frequently, and the resistance of these people was also quite fierce, as if they were protecting something.

After passing through two more trenches, Gao Wei suddenly noticed that a very faint light flashed not far away. It was a very dangerous move to light a lamp on a battlefield in the darkness of the field, and no one would do such a suicidal thing unless they had to, but this light flashed away, and it was clear that there was a house or bunker there, and the exit should have been hung with a curtain.

Gao Wei picked up his low-light telescope and looked forward, this kind of telescope is different from the big road goods used by various countries, this is a high-tech equipment specially equipped by the Iron Army, it can magnify the faint light ten times, so that the observer's vision is clearer.

Through the dimming telescope, Gao Wei could see a rough blurred shadow at the light, which should be a solid trench bunker, the volume of the bunker was very large, and there was a door in the back direction, and a thick curtain was hung on the door, and the light just now was obviously caused by someone lifting the curtain when someone entered and exited.

If this bunker is a machine gun bunker, it seems a little too big, and if the artillery bunker is too close to the front line, it is obvious that it should be a front-line command center. Thinking that it might be a command headquarters, Gao Wei was excited, if this assumption was true, the small part of the previous desperate resistance could be explained, they should be scattered around the headquarters and serve as a guard force on the perimeter.

With the remaining twenty or so fighters after continuous battles, Gao Wei crawled towards there, he knew very well that there must be stronger guards near the headquarters, so they had to be careful not to be discovered by the other party.

Crawling dozens of meters away, suddenly Gao Wei felt that there was something strange on the ground brushed by his hand, he stopped advancing, groped on the ground with his right hand, and soon found a thin line. The outer skin of this wire is made of rubber, apparently a telephone wire used for battlefield communications. With this clue, Gao Wei was even more sure of his estimate, he whispered to the soldiers behind him to assign tasks, except for fifteen people scattered nearby to cover and answer, he personally led ten soldiers to continue to touch forward.

There were still more than 20 meters away from the command post, and suddenly the curtain was lifted, and two officers with documents walked out, obviously staff officers, and by the time the light was on, Gao Wei squinted his eyes and looked around the headquarters, and he found that in the trenches near the headquarters, there were many figures shaking, and the reflection of bayonets in the light flashed, obviously those were combat troops.

Gao Wei waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, telling them to disperse. Nine warriors divided into three groups and groped towards the three different trenches. Gao Wei took out a whistle and put it to his mouth, and blew it vigorously, and the whistle made a sound similar to that of a cricket.

This sound was the signal, all three groups of nine fighters quickly waved their arms, threw bundles of grenades into the trenches, a violent explosion sounded, the trenches were a terrible howl, the nine fighters jumped up, jumped into the trench with submachine guns, controlled the submachine guns with both hands to swing from side to side, and fired bullets at the Allied soldiers who had not lost the ability to resist, shooting most of them.
