Chapter 243: The Battle of the Defeat
As an army general who grew up in World War I, Chivanov is undoubtedly a battle-hardened veteran. It's just that from the beginning of the war, they didn't take this eastern neighbor seriously, and they didn't even do the minimum intelligence gathering work. I have always felt that these Longhua Army are still the ones they know, fighting with the obsolete weapons of other countries.
Coupled with their habitual arrogance, as a victorious country in World War I, they naturally do not look at Longhua, a country that has been in war and division all year round. For them, the artillery of an artillery division is enough to make them invincible.
Even the Sun Country Army, which is known as invincible in Asia, seems to these old Maozi. If they dare to provoke, they will resolutely fight back. But they were far from expecting that they were the main attackers, but they only made a start, and they became the situation where they were now being crushed and beaten by the Longhua army.
As the commander-in-chief of the border guards, Chivanov naturally enjoyed more treatment than ordinary soldiers, and other soldiers ran on two legs. As a commander, he can drive a car all the way, and his guards guarding him are also riding high-headed horses.
Just when Chivanov realized that if he continued to run like this, the land forces of the two armies he brought would be consumed about the same. Running out of the range of the artillery, he immediately ordered the adjutant to stop. In a dangerous stronghold of the Ice Bear Country, gather troops and counterattack. In any case, he didn't want to go from a victorious general to a runaway general.
In the face of the commander of the general who refused to continue to move to safety, many of the hot-blooded army forces of the Ice Bear Country did not say a word and began to build fortifications on the spot. But the soldiers who fled here one after another gathered and prepared to block the Longhua army that was chasing them. In any case, they must change from the offensive side to the defensive side.
Situ Qingyun, who had been attacking with the team, saw from a distance that the fortifications had been built in front of him, and he knew that these old hairmen finally had a bit of backbone. Know how to fight them hard. Soon the troops were ordered to shrink and gather the troops that had captured prisoners all over the mountains into formations. At the same time, the artillery regiment of the division headquarters was ordered to rush here as soon as possible to carry out the artillery bombardment.
Originally, he could have ordered his troops to attack directly, but he saw that the other side had already set up a heavy machine gun position, with their current mortars and grenadiers. Although he is confident that he will break through the opponent's defensive position, it will cost the lives of his soldiers. Anyway, compared to these old Maozi who have to wait for reinforcements to arrive, the Longhua army on the border is undoubtedly faster.
Spending half an hour waiting for the artillery regiment to enter the station was completely worth it in Situ Qingyun's opinion. Only let these land forces of the Ice Bear Country truly understand the strength of the opponent they will face. They gritted their teeth, and they will honestly stay in their own country in the future, and they will not dare to easily cross the border to provoke.
Although Xu Bin ordered to hunt down the army of the Ice Bear Country for a hundred miles this time, Situ Qingyun knew very well that the current army strength of the East China Army was indeed good. But the war continues. It is already consuming the original heritage of the East China Army. For the current Longhua Kingdom, the number one enemy is the Sun Kingdom. The second is the land of the two wings that has not yet been recovered. As for these old hairs with low eyes in front of them. gave them a profound lesson to understand that Long Huaguo could not be easily provoked, and it was the wisest choice.
Therefore, in this offensive operation, Situ Qingyun felt that it was more about showing off his muscles and letting these old hairmen know. Today's East China Army is no longer the loosely organized Longhua Army of the past. If you want to easily provoke the dignity and border of Longhua Kingdom. It is necessary to be prepared to shed blood and sacrifice fully.
Situ Qingyun, who understood this, chose to preserve his own strength and rely on the advantages of his powerful weapons and equipment very rationally. Directly let these Army Troops of the Ice Bear Country understand how ignorant and unfortunate it is to go against them. Only let these people know that they are afraid. They will not easily provoke and meddle in Longhua's internal affairs.
Looking at the tens of thousands of troops that have been gathered here one after another, the rest of the troops who have gone to other places have lost contact for the time being and have no way to return to the building. Chivanov, who was once again dressed in battle, immediately stopped the pursuit of the troops who were chasing them, a kilometer before they were from their defensive positions, and realized that the commander of the opposing side was calm.
I was not carried away by the victory in front of me, and simply thought that I could break through the opponent's blocking position by relying on infantry. The punch that was punched out contracted back in time, and what was waiting for them was undoubtedly another heavy punch from the Longhua Army.
Realizing this, Chivanov began to order the soldiers, who looked a little frightened, to follow the temporary blocking positions built by the guard troops. Quickly dig and build blocking positions, and at the same time allow the signal corps to speed up the pace of gathering troops, and let the city defense army in the rear provide weapons and ammunition, especially artillery support.
At this moment, Chivanov, who already regarded the other side as a strong enemy, knew that this would be a protracted war, and if he did not stop the offensive edge of these Longhua Army. What awaits them will be a provocation of the authority of the Ice Bear in the Far East. At that time, the Ice Bear Country, which is already full of grievances, may really have no peace in the country.
Although the current Ice Bear State was not overthrown by the workers' and peasants' army led by a man named Lenin, as in the previous life. However, the extravagance of the royal family and the aristocracy, the oppression of ordinary people has also become a common thing, and the low-level people and workers in the country are undoubtedly suppressing a wave of anger. If it weren't for the current army, it would still be under the control of the royal family for the time being, and still loyal to the royal family. I'm afraid that they have already had a revolutionary storm in the Ice Bear Country!
As the commander of the Ice Bear Country in the Far East, Chivanov knew very well how the Ice Bear Country at this time was similar to the overthrown Longhua Dynasty. If it weren't for the current reign of Peter III, there would have been many cronies of generals and ministers. I am afraid that the Ice Bear Country also set off a revolutionary upsurge early and advocated the footsteps of democratic self-government!
If they had been defeated by the Longhua army this time and had suffered most of the casualties, Chivanov could have imagined it. Demonstrations, which are currently under strict military control, are bound to erupt again. Once this spark is ignited, it is really unknown where the future Ice Bear will go!
In fact, what he didn't know was that after the establishment of the People's Commune, Xu Bin specially instructed the underground party organizations stationed in Beiyi and Xiyi. Secretly absorbed a group of members of the Ice Bear Country who had a certain influence in the Ice Bear country. This wave of redism, which was originally set off by them in the previous life, is now taught to them by Long Huaguo.
Secretly organized the armed liliang of the working proletariat for them, instilled in them the idea that the workers and peasants were the masters of the country, and provided them with a lot of loans to support their secret operations in the country. If it weren't for Xu Bin's constant request, the party organization of the Ice Bear Country would have to wait for the opportunity for the time being, I'm afraid that this red wave would have been ignited in the Ice Bear Country long ago.
Knowing the other and not being defeated in a hundred battles is the combat thinking that Xu Bin respects. These mines, which were buried in the Ice Bear Country in advance, lacked a haode fuse. If the Ice Bear Country is honest and doesn't meddle in Longhua's affairs, then this thunder will be detonated later. If they are not honest, Xu Bin doesn't mind letting them feel the power of the proletariat.
When the artillery regiment arrived, a telegram from the military headquarters made Situ Qingyun very excited: "Haha, this time Lao Maozi is in big trouble. Our air force units have arrived over the border, now let's provide targets for bombing!
Hurry up and send the coordinates here to the bomber squadron, so that these old hairy people can feel the taste of dropping bombs on their heads. The artillery regiment was ordered, after the bombardment by the Air Force, to carry out covered shelling. The rest of the main infantry regiments, ready to charge. Lao Tzu let go of his anger this time and chased them a hundred miles away. ”
For a long time, Situ Qingyun only saw the surprise and sabotage missions of the Air Force in combat through the internal military reports of the East China Army. Now that he has a rare opportunity to witness with his own eyes the combat power that the Air Force can bring in the war, how could Situ Qingyun waste it?
When the coordinates here were sent to the pilot plane of the bomber by the independent division, the pilot of the pilot plane rushed here directly with the formation. When the soldiers on both sides saw these formations of planes that began to land from a high altitude, there was undoubtedly a chorus of joy on the position of the independent division, while there was silence on the blocking position of Lao Maozi.
Just when these old hairy people thought why this plane was so big, the bombers that flew over them and began to slow down had already skillfully opened the bomb bomb magazine. Drop a string of hail-like bombs exactly where they are most crowded.
Looking at these planes, which could strike from the air, they were dragged by several guard officers into the temporary command headquarters to Chivanov, who was hiding in an anti-artillery hole. Looking at the temporary command post, which had just been commanded in operations, being sent into the sky by several shells falling from the sky, his feelings were undoubtedly extremely shocking.
When has the military strength of Longhua Kingdom reached this point? Although he had heard that Longhua had an extra kind of plane that could drop bombs, he never imagined that when he saw an airplane participating in the battle for the first time, he would feel so shocked. There are planes dropping bombs on this, and artillery covering shelling below. How can such a resistance war be fought?
This confusion was not only possessed by Chivanov, but also by those who fled back to the army after resting in the rear, after seeing that the bombers in front were dropping shells. The physical strength that would recover after resting suddenly turned into the motivation to escape. No matter how much those officers tried to stop them, these army troops, who had been frightened, fled like headless flies.
Frightened by the appearance of bombers again, the Ice Bear Army, after facing the artillery fire and began to extend, once again broke through to the front of their position. The infantry attack that also cooperated with the light machine gun of the squad and advanced with the mortars of the company. The defenders of the position, who had suffered heavy casualties, looked at the reinforcements in the rear and scattered them, and they also blocked the attack!
Keep running! As a result, this blocking position that Chivanov had just established was declared to have fallen again after the appearance of the plane! (To be continued......)
