Act Seventy-Three: The two armies face off
What followed was the sound of the source crystal bomb, and it was obvious that Chen Tu had ordered the house group to take the lead in attacking.
"Big brother be careful!" Gala reacted the fastest, blocking Xu Hu under him and covering Xu Hu's transfer to the building. The Montenegrin army beside Xu Hu was also busy organizing counterattacks, and some of the gunners in hand also began to fire source crystal shells at the Chen Tu position.
"Brother Xu should make a decision as soon as possible at this moment, otherwise, we will be buried here." The grizzly bear did not forget to persuade Xu Hu to fight with the tank with his bare hands, for fear that he would be afraid of his life.
"Get out of the way! The big deal is death, what is there to be afraid of! Xu Hu, who was framed by Gala, was surprisingly strong, and shook off Gara's hand next to him. I saw Xu Hu take out the pistol on his waist and shoot three times into the sky. shouted: "At this time, the enemy army has not been assembled, let's kill it!" ”
After speaking, Xu Hu was the first to rush forward, and the other members of the Black Mountain Army also followed closely behind and launched an attack on the encirclement of the house group. It is true that the group has not completed its assembly at this moment, especially in the small town of Budasol, where only more than a thousand soldiers have been deployed.
One by one, the Montenegrin Army launched an attack on the temporary front in the east of the Yakuza Regiment. With the help of the Yuemo family, there are not a few soldiers in the Montenegrin army who carry anti-tank missiles, and with the advantage of a large number of people, the offensive of the Montenegrin army is not inferior to that of the house regiment.
From time to time, the shells fired from the house regiment fell on the road of the Montenegrin army's charge, and if not a single one was missed, there would be several rat wounds. Such a lethal ability could not stop the charging Montenegrin army.
"Report to Command, our squad is under heavy attack by enemy forces, request for reinforcements." The commander in charge of the command of this joint team finally couldn't hold on and asked the command for support.
"Don't be in a fight, form a mobile encirclement, follow them closely and wait for our army to assemble. All squads are now ordered to move closer to the small town of Budasol and resolutely eliminate the Montenegrin army operating here. ”
Chen Tu, who was in command, reissued the order to all combat units.
After receiving the order, the town in the east of Budasol took the initiative to retreat. Under the cover of tanks, the casualties of the House Regiment were much smaller than those of the Montenegrin Army.
Seeing that the house group had the intention of retreating, Xu Hu's face suddenly darkened. I can't help but be angry in my heart, and I still want to escape? "Gala! Lead 2,000 men along the path on the left to intercept them! ”
"Yes!" Although Gala has his own opinions, he is completely obedient to Xu Hu at this moment, which is also the reason why Gala is deeply trusted by Xu Hu.
The reconnaissance drone sent by the command headquarters was already hovering over the Montenegrin Army at this time, and the Montenegrin Army, which was only concerned with striking at the surrounding house regiments, did not notice this small flying insect that could be ignored in the sky.
"Report to the Governor, we have locked down the location of the Montenegrin Army and are providing a view to the entire army." The soldier in charge of the operation of the drone reported to Chen Tu.
"Okay, keep working." Chen Tu replied and threw himself into command again.
Gathering most of the combined forces of the House Regiment and the Cuckoo Regiment scattered throughout the Labria region, it would take two hours to reach the small town of Budasol, and Chen Tu did not intend to attack until he had fully assembled. After all, war is not only about destroying the enemy army, but also about preserving one's own strength as much as possible.
This is the first battle of the army in the Cuckoo District in the true sense, and the enemy is still a group of old bandits, so it is undoubtedly the best choice to slow down and fight steadily.
"Randy, please answer if you receive it, please answer when you receive it." Chen Tu in Command began to contact Randy.
"Randy got it, command, please."
"The Montenegrin army has broken through the first encirclement of the town of Budasol, you lead 3,000 soldiers to the northern fortification of the town of Budasol, you must intercept them and prevent them from flowing to other areas.
"Understood."
On the outskirts of the small town of Budasol, the explosion of the source crystal bomb was endless. It's a flat land, and the little soil here has been blown away and exposed to stone. The Montenegrin Army, which was heading to stop it on the northern slope, had already set up mortars there and attacked the retreating soldiers of the House Regiment.
At the same time, in the west, a wave of soldiers from the House Regiment touched more than 2,000 rats, and more than 20 tanks in front had already adjusted their power to the maximum, and the next moment, the tanks launched an attack.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
More than 20 tanks opened fire almost simultaneously forced Xu Hu to divide his troops to deal with the army from the west, but Xu Hu did not panic. The reason why he chose this place is because there are many dark passages left over from ancient times below, which can form an ambush circle. For the Montenegrin army, which often robs, these dark passages are equivalent to the guns in their hands, full of familiar flavors.
"Smack!" Attacks from time to time caused the house regiment to lose more than a dozen soldiers in a row. However, for these dark passages, the house group is not without a way, they directly turned the head of the motor vehicle, and the source crystal heavy gun on it was directly aimed at the ground.
The bullets rained down wildly prevented the Montenegrin army hiding underground from showing its head, and the entire battlefield was stirred up with dust. In the continuous attack, several mobile teams felt that in order to speed up the rush time, Chen Tu had ordered the mobile troops to take the lead in the small town of Budasol.
As soon as these tanks entered the battlefield, the pressure on the western front of the Montenegrin Army increased sharply. Under the blow of cross-artillery fire, Xu Hu had to give up the suppressive fire to the east, and the casualties of the Montenegrin army had exceeded 1,000 at this time. The Montenegrin Army, which was familiar with mountain and forest operations, had no favorable terrain to rely on, and its strength almost declined.
The grizzly bear on Xu Hu's side saw the situation on the entire battlefield, and couldn't help but say again: "Brother Xu, this is Tianyu's armored legion, we can't beat it, it's better to let the brothers break through by the path to the east, and when we enter the mountain, no one can do anything." ”
This time, Xu Hu did not talk back, obviously he saw through the strength of the house regiment in the continuous reinforcements of the house regiment, but the number of tanks and equipment, there can be no ordinary troops to measure their combat effectiveness.
"Luca, you go and lead a team to the north slope and tell the second master to retreat, and we will meet again in the middle of the mountain."
"Yes, big boss."
Then, Xu Hu turned to the Black Mountain Army who was fighting: "Brothers, follow me, let's rush over!" ”
It takes a lot of time for the house group to make a detour to the east, so there are few house group soldiers here, and it seems a little overwhelmed by the charge of the entire Montenegrin army, but Chen Tu did not order them to stay here.
Immediately, the commander gave the order to retreat again.
The house group in the east should not fight, and the resistance to the retreat of the Montenegrin army has been reduced a lot, even if there are pursuers in the west, Xu Hu can deal with it calmly.
The Grizzly Bear was in charge of the break, and the soldiers around the Grizzly Bear were carrying quite a few Source Crystal Bombs.
"Quick! Fill all these bombs into the holes. The tank behind was already very close, and the usually calm grizzly bear also had some beads of sweat on his face at this time.
After the last pack of source crystal bombs was thrown into the hole, the grizzly immediately detonated them. Dust rose from the sky, effectively blocking the view of the armored forces.
These ancient rat holes were hollow, and the collapse caused by the explosion suddenly made the ground rugged, and some even formed a crater, even if a tank in the form of a spider fell into the pit, it could not climb out with its own power.
Under the cover of dust, seven or eight tanks of the house regiment were suddenly hit and could not move.
"Let's go!" After doing all this, the Grizzly Bear immediately followed the large force and headed towards the foothills, so that the mobile force could not do anything about it.
Just away from the pursuers behind the town, the smoke and dust in front of them stopped the vanguard of the Montenegrin army. Xu Hu, who was in the middle of the army, naturally saw this scene.
"Brothers, don't stop, let's rush over!" Xu Hu has never been afraid of anyone since he took over the Black Mountain Army from his father for decades, even if these are known as the kings of land warfare, Xu Hu is also unconvinced in his heart.
"Can't stop! The pursuers behind are about to arrive, rush! The crepe grizzly bear also screamed. With these two heavyweights in the Montenegrin Army speaking out, the stagnant Montenegrin Army also charged again.
The smoke and dust are coming from the armored forces led by Randy, and a battle is inevitable when they meet on a narrow road.
"Pay attention to the formation, detours on both sides, and the Chinese army charges." Randy didn't slow down, and the Randy troops, who had already formulated the combat form on the road, reacted very quickly, and quickly deployed a formation on this uneven ground.
"Artillery fire focused, ready."
The sound of forty-two tanks twisting their main guns was very neat, and the black hole was facing the Montenegrin army, and the next thing that greeted the Montenegrin army was a raging storm.
"Fire!"
With Randy's order, forty-two shells flew out of the bullet boring in unison, and after a sharp flying sound, the bombers of the Black Mountain Army turned their backs.
The distance between the two armies was only two kilometers, which was a matter of smoke for tanks, and the Montenegrin army, which was already facing each other, had no lethality against the armored forces at all, and could only let the tanks ravage.
"Retreat towards the mountains." The grizzly bear, who pretended to be calm, pulled the somewhat distracted Xu Hu and shouted loudly at this time, but how many rats could hear the roar of the engine and the incessant sound of bombs on the battlefield?
These battle-hardened Montenegrin troops can be said to have suffered the Waterloo of their lives, but this force, which has been fighting against the Yuemo family for decades, has not lost its mind because of this.
Without the command of Xu Hu and Grizzly Bear, they also knew where to retreat. The number of armored forces is always limited, and in the foothills, tanks have nothing to do with them. However, the mountain range they retreated to was not in the direction of their old nest, but a separate hill in the Chentu garrison.
At this point, the group tried to form an encirclement, but was not outnumbered, so they had to give up, and after firing a few shots under Randy's orders, the tank began to stop.
There are no roads ahead, and the rugged mountains can easily put the tank at risk of rolling over.
"Block the main road and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
Randy, who is very quick thinking, already knows what to do next, the Montenegrin army does not carry much food and equipment, and at this time half of the men and horses have been lost. As long as they are surrounded, they will not be able to jump for a few days.
In the evening, 20,000 troops were fully in place, and Chen Tu also personally went to the front line to command, and established a temporary command headquarters at the foot of the mountain.
"Our two days of joint search were very tired, but the enemy was even more tired. Therefore, I ordered to immediately organize troops to attack the mountain, and our headquarters would provide a field of view in real time, so that we would have more initiative in the unfamiliar darkness. Rat Big, you will lead the attack this time. "Chen Tu is doing a general offensive mobilization.
"Yes! I immediately went to prepare. After receiving the order, Rat Da turned around and left the headquarters and organized the soldiers to march towards the mountain.
