A Dragon tank fell into the trap of the Germans, whose mortar and machine-gun fire left the infantry behind the tank. THEN THE ARMOR-PIERCING PROJECTILES FIRED FROM THE 105MM RECOILLESS CANNON HIDDEN ON THE FLANKS WHIZZED TOWARDS THE TARGET. Hit the iron box hanging from the side of the Dragon tank, the fuse of the shell was activated, and a hot metal jet roared and pierced the tank's armor, but with a bang, the iron box was blown to pieces, and the surface of the armor on the side of the tank was only a pit.

"THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF A PARANORMAL EVENT, WE USE RECOILLESS CANNONS AND HEAVY ROCKET LAUNCHERS TO ATTACK OUR OPPONENTS, AND THESE WEAPONS HAVE A STATIC ARMOR-PIERCING ABILITY OF AROUND 150MM! Even if you consider the cuts, it will be enough to penetrate the side armor of any tank, in fact, in the battle just two months ago, our bazookas were still enough against the side armor of the Dragon tanks, the good defensive shape of the Dragon tanks was very vulnerable to the blow of the heavy super-caliber rocket launchers, we were able to paralyze at least 3 Dragon tanks, but this situation changed completely after only a month. The dragon tank in chain mail blocked our rocket fire at close range! After the war, a captured German soldier said with trepidation.

Dense rockets flew towards the target with tail smoke, at least 7 or more anti-tank groups launched a deadly attack on this behemoth, dense explosions constantly sounded on the tank, the roar of the tank engine and the sound of the explosion were intertwined, the dust raised after the explosion and the smoke screen released by the tank were mixed together, and from time to time there was a fire through the smoke screen. When the smoke screen cleared, the Germans spotted the big one, which was riddled with craters. The destroyed load wheels, the lost exterior equipment, and the potted armor seemed to tell the story of how fierce the attack had been. Just when the Germans thought the big picture was settled, the beast let out a terrifying roar once more! THE SLENDER 105MM TANK GUN SHOOK SLIGHTLY. A grenade blew a recoilless gun group 300 meters away to pieces!

However, the damaged tank was not able to cope with all the crises, although it relied on rubber armor to block a ferocious bazooka salvo. But this only delayed the opponent's offensive. Most of the composite armor hanging on the outside of the hull was destroyed or fell off, and if the Germans had done it again, the Dragon tank would have been here nine times out of ten!

The German anti-tank group still had plenty of time to launch the next round of attacks, and the tricky machine-gun fire and mortars kept infantry reinforcements out for a while. AT THIS TIME, A TANK WITH THE SIZE OF A DRAGON TANK TURRET APPEARED 800 METERS AWAY FROM THE GERMAN LINES, AND ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS TANK WERE TWO SLENDER 40MM GUNS! "This is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun?" A German soldier looked through the observation hole in the bunker at a vehicle he had never seen before.

Knock knock. With the roar of the machine guns, two long strings of fire snakes erupted from the slender muzzles, forming two fire snakes that quickly swept the surface defense line of the Germans. The earthen breastwork, which was more than 1 meter thick, had no defensive power under the fire of machine guns, and was directly smoothed out by the fierce artillery fire. FORTIFICATIONS REINFORCED WITH LOGS AND STONES COULD NOT STOP THE 40MM BOFORS ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS WITH ARMOR-PIERCING INCENDIARY SHELLS. This weapon is not very powerful in a single shot, but it is moderately powerful, enough to eat most of the bunker, and it reacts quickly and has an extremely fast rate of fire, and in just half a minute, this self-propelled anti-aircraft gun called the Lynx turned the 300-meter-wide area in front of the position into a sea of fire! Not only were the anti-tank groups of the Germans not spared, but most of the machine-gun and mortar units that had been suppressing the infantry were destroyed.

Under the cover of powerful heavy artillery and high-rate machine guns, the Huaxia Legion crushed the opponent's defense line little by little. After the line of defense was breached. The Germans also launched several counter-assaults, so much so that it has to be said that the remaining German units at this time were much worse than their previous performance, and the loss of a large number of heavy equipment made these units greatly less effective after losing their bunkers.

The Chinese offensive was slow but solid. They carried out their plan step by step, striking a wedge in the opponent's defenses, and then the troops began to consolidate the breach. Extend to the flanks and break the entire line, and then continue to attack the next line when the follow-up troops arrive. The long-range artillery units that followed, with the assistance of the air force, suppressed the opposing side's long-range strike fire.

Except for the normal line of defense, though. The Chinese legions also had to deal with the towns and villages that had been fortified by the Germans, which had been fortified and fortified with the addition of communication trenches and bunkers to form a complete defensive system. These towns, which took decades or even decades to build, were more complex and had more blind spots than hastily built fortifications. For the defense line that can be bypassed, the Huaxia Army adopts the strategy of encircling but not fighting, but for some areas that cannot be bypassed, it is still necessary to attack the fortification.

Street fighting means a lot of uncertainty, means endless entanglement and a large number of casualties, street fighting is a nightmare version of the existence for both the defender and the attacker, but with the investment of Huaxia special combat vehicles, the progress of this street battle is still beyond the imagination of both sides. Although the whole battle was still bloody, the speed of the attack of the Chinese army was beyond the expectations of the Germans, and many fortresses did not even hold on to half of the planned time! And the series of results that led to this had a great impact on the entire battle situation.

"The first rule of street fighting is that you must never take those seemingly smooth roads!" A very important point in the siege tactics of the PLA in history is to blast yourself to open the way! Those planned roads are full of death traps, mines, fire points, snipers, anti-tank teams hide in the city buildings, just waiting for the other side to come in and then pinch the head and tail to eat it directly.

Under the guidance of the traversers, the Chinese Army summed up a set of practical plans based on the experience of street fighting in actual combat, with several offensive detachments led by special vehicles advancing in parallel to support each other, and at the same time, a large number of infantry squads carrying barrier-breaking equipment interspersed between various assault units. They would often use blasting canisters and explosives to make a hole in the wall as a passage, and they would weave through the interior of houses, sewers, and even rooftops, always showing up in places that their opponents didn't expect. Sticking to it, though it's not clear to me whether it's heaven or hell behind the wall. The principle of blowing up first and then talking. Equipped with a variety of melee weapons, the Huaxia Legion relied on surprise assaults and good melee weapons to gradually wear down their opponents.

Except, of course, for the contest between the infantry. The heavy equipment accompanying Huaxia also played a considerable role. The Bobcat anti-aircraft gun, which was originally used for field air defense, was better used than tanks in urban combat! The huge elevation angle made it easy to deal with targets on the rooftops, while vehicles armed with large-caliber mortars were the nemesis of bunkers and fortifications, and with muffled sounds, one could even see low-flying shells smashing pillboxes to pieces like heavy hammers.

The most disgusting thing is the system of trenches, which connect the bunkers, hiding points, and storage rooms into a whole. The Germans could easily move quickly through the trenches, and this uncatchable predicament made the Huaxia Legion a little helpless for a while, but when the Fire Dragon Spitfire tank was put into the battlefield, this weapon that could be called a trench sweeper became a nightmare for the German infantry! When a cloud of flame erupts from the mouth of the bunker, it usually means that there are no living people in the trench.

It's even better than poison gas! Because if you face poison gas, you can wear a gas mask. But if the air temperature suddenly rises to a few hundred degrees in the whole narrow trench, there is nothing to prevent it! "Just for a moment. An underground passage more than 30 meters long was instantly turned into a defense, where there was a platoon of defenders, among whom the average person was instantly engulfed in the chaotic flames, while the skin of the other part was severely burned by the flames and hot air. In a short period of time, they died one after another, and the most painful were those with burns in their respiratory tracts, rolling over and frantically trying to take an extra breath of air, but this only aggravated their injuries. These people cannot be saved, and we can only end their suffering early with a pistol. "Post-war. A German non-commissioned officer who had participated in the Battle of the Bayou still had lingering apprehensions whenever he recalled this incident.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and there will always be a few fortresses that stand like nails. In the case of repeated shocks, under the attack of the Air Force's "Block Destroyer" and Bear heavy mortars, the Chinese Army can also wipe entire villages off the map. The battle was fierce and bloody. Under repeated contention and attrition again and again, the weaker side will inevitably die due to continuous blood loss!

In the face of the continuous encroachment of the Chinese troops. The Germans began to systematically destroy bridges, roads, and railways to stop the Chinese attack. In the absence of foreign aid, the probability of defeat for the defending side is more than 8%. And judging by the current situation. The best outcome for the Germans was to leave here with as many people as possible. The hope of returning home encouraged the Germans to resist to the end, but it also gave up hope for the Germans who had been abandoned or stuck to a certain stronghold.

"They destroyed all the bridges to the rear and even locked the exits of large bunkers. We were in utter despair, it didn't matter to us what imperial glory or military honor was, and I left my warm family in Bavaria to fight the vampires in the desolate Middle East, only to be discarded here like waste. If I ever get back to Germany again, I'm going to send these guys to fend off! "A captured German soldier did not forget to reprimand their former commander during interrogation.

The Chinese Army's attack on the German-Austrian legion quickly consumed the remaining German army's combat effectiveness. With the step by step compression and attack, the heavy long-range artillery deployed in the front line can already reach the opponent's port area, at a distance of 28 kilometers from the port, 12 heavy 8-inch artillery battalions have been deployed on the constructed position, attacking the opponent's port and other important areas day and night, although the accuracy at such a distance is not to mention, the Germans will also use smoke screens or other means to interfere with the shooting, but the rumbling artillery every day is an invisible deterrent! He told the Germans clearly that their way home was about to be locked up! You're dead!

Of course, this is just a wedge to enter, at most a salient, on the whole, the station line of the Huaxia Legion is still some distance away from the Germans, but just such a salient makes the already tense nerves of the Germans even more tense! They did not hesitate to destroy these artillery positions by all means, and even used the long-hidden train guns and the few remaining air forces!

The Germans' means still have some effect, the powerful 12-inch shells and bombs weighing 500KG are undoubtedly fatal for the hastily constructed positions, but Xu Huaide also decided to blood to maintain this salient, perhaps from a purely military point of view, it is not of much significance to maintain this salient, but from a campaign point of view, it has become a core, a magnet, a meat grinder that can constantly attract the Germans to attack and exhaust their last bit of strength!

"My army was on the verge of collapse, and when the last retreat was placed within range of the opponent's fire, despair spread rapidly among the army, and every soldier could see a smoke screen rising near the harbor and the rumbling of cannon fire as soon as he opened his eyes, and although the actual effect was not good, those who did not know the truth were already worried about their end. The panic caused by this situation spread rapidly among the army, and as a result, the number of troops that surrendered on the battlefield gradually increased. Resistance continues to decline. I'm worried about the situation with my troops, maybe we have been wiped out before the start of the joint operation of the Navy and Air Force. "This was written in Manstein's telegram to the German General Staff.

"Manstein can't support it for long, and if we want to get the rest of the troops home, we have to start operating within a week." At a high-level council of the Navy, Army, and Air Force, Kruger said this to the Red Baron and Raeder, who were sitting on either side.

"Even if Basra and Faw are lost, the land base can still be evacuated from other coastal ports in the Persian Gulf, and to be honest, the navy is not fully prepared at the moment, it would be better to give us a month to prepare." Raeder thought for a moment and said.

"The Air Force is better, and in a week, we will be able to complete all the deployments." The Red Baron replied.

"Basra is the last fortified city, we have the most troops left here, and even if we want to evacuate to other ports now, it is too late, the Chinese army has blocked the passage to other places, and we can only evacuate by ship. I know the difficulties of the Navy, but now, we have no choice! Kruger's words were filled with a pleading tone.
