Chapter 54: Preemptive Strike
Base, inside the command room.
"How long will it take to take Qingyuan Fort?"
Liu Xiang, who was dressed in military uniform, spoke calmly.
He now has an unprecedented surplus of military power on hand!
At this moment, of course, he had to do some big things, such as swallowing Qingyuan Castle in one bite and further putting pressure on Yongding City!
As the words fell, Anton, Ilya, and Andre, who were sitting in Liu's head, all showed a contemplative look.
Qingyuan Fort is one of the three satellite forts in Yongding, and it is also Ye Ying's current bridgehead facing Liu Xiang, and the troops he has invested here can be imagined!
Soon, Anton, who was physically strong, stood up and said, "If you attack with all your might, you can solve the battle in an hour!" ”
Effort is effort!
If Liu Xiang mobilizes all his forces to attack Qingyuan Fort, then Qingyuan Fort will indeed be captured in an hour, as Anton said!
As soon as the words entered his ears, Liu Xiang's eyes flashed, and then he said with a solemn expression: "Order the tank battalion, air defense battalion, mortar battalion, heavy artillery company, and work together to attack Qingyuan Fort, and the commander-in-chief of this battle is Anton!" ”
"I have only one requirement for this battle, and that is to be fast, unexpectedly fast, and beat the enemy down before he can react!"
This battle is extraordinary, because it represents that Liu Xiang has changed from strategic defense to active attack!
"Yes!"
Under the order, Anton all three stood up and saluted.
………………
"This rebellion has really become a spirit!"
Nine Castles, inside the castle lord's mansion.
Zhou Yuan, who looked inexplicable, spoke up to himself.
Just now, a chief of staff on the Longcheng side personally telegraphed him, ordering him to cooperate with the 702nd Regiment of the Federation to eliminate the mysterious forces entrenched in the Yongding area.
Zhou Xing, who served as the deputy city lord of Jiuzhong City, said with a sense of urgency: "It's not! ”
"The Tiger Regiment was deflated at the hands of that mysterious force, and it is said that after that battle, the combat power of the Tiger Regiment dropped by more than fifty percent!"
Defeating Ye Ying's troops, they can ignore it, but they can directly defeat the fierce record of the Tiger Regiment, but they can't help but ignore it!
O Tigers! That's the Tigers!
One thing to say, even the Tiger Regiment that gathers all the military strength of the Nine Castles may not be able to survive the period of total victory.
But such a fierce military force was defeated and lost at the hands of the emerging mysterious forces!
At this moment, Zhou Yuan, who looked slightly dignified, felt deeply: "Yes! ”
If that mysterious force can defeat the Tiger Regiment, it means that it can defeat him Zhou Yuan!
This made Zhou Yuan, who had always felt that the emperor was far away, and no one could clean up his own, and felt that his survival status was seriously threatened.
"City Lord, what are you going to do ......?"
Zhou Xing, who was a little dry, tentatively asked.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan reluctantly smiled and said lightly: "Let Xuan'er go to Yongding!" ”
The whirlwind in his mouth is his eldest son, whirl!
This person has a fierce and unruly temperament, and is known as Zhou Hu, and he controls the second regiment of the reorganization of the Nine Cities!
"Yes!"
Zhou Xin nodded yes, and then turned to leave.
………………
The next day, in the afternoon.
In Qingyuan Fort, where the fortifications are quite complete.
Ye Kai, who was the commander of the guard battalion at the time, was restless and restless in his operations office.
For no reason, he felt as if a catastrophe was coming!
After the Second Regiment withdrew to Yongding City for repairs, the defense of Qingyuan Fort was handed over to his guard battalion.
The guard battalion under him is a strong force in Ye Ying's hands!
This battalion has a full strength of 1,200 people, equipped with five infantry combat vehicles, six 105 heavy guns, and a total of nearly 100 light and heavy machine guns.
"No, I'll have to go out and do it again!"
Ye Kai, who was restless, got up and left the office after wiping the cold sweat that kept blooming on his forehead.
As soon as he went out, a cold wind hit him from afar, making him shiver all over his body.
"What the hell is the wasteland!"
"Even the weather isn't normal!"
Ye Kai scolded secretly, and then began to carefully inspect every defensive business.
One thing to say, he is still competent as the battalion commander of the guard battalion!
After a round of patrols, it was already nighttime.
"Whew, whew, whew!"
The cool breeze at night was even more unbearable, and it couldn't help but make Ye Kai sneeze fiercely.
Since the Toxic Rain has fallen, the wasteland has become colder and colder every year.
Every year, a large number of low-level people are frozen to death.
The weather in the wasteland is cold, and you can see the average!
"I guess I'm suspicious!"
Ye Kai, who was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, took one last look at the northern sky, and then returned to the warm combat office with peace of mind.
He is warm, but the cold winter of the guard camp is about to begin!
……………………
Not bright under the starlight.
"Boom, boom!"
Thirty tanks like steel monsters ran over uneven roads and advanced towards Qingyuan Castle with all their might!
Behind the tank are 15 heavily armed infantry fighting vehicles and nine trailers towing 122mm heavy howitzers!
As for why there were no air defense battalions and mortar battalions under Liu Xiang's order, it was because these two battalions had already been sent to the periphery of Qingyuan Fort by Andre before these clumsy steel behemoths.
Half an hour later.
Three tank companies and one tank company arrived at the pre-determined offensive positions.
The howitzer company also began to build artillery positions in the pre-planned place!
There was an open field only 300 meters away from the position of the howitzer company in a straight line.
There were positions for mortar battalions!
Fifty-four swarthy, icy and metallic M-43 120-mm heavy mortars have already completed their final preparations before firing.
The 324 sergeants of the mortar battalion dressed in Soviet-made winter uniforms all looked serious at the moment, and their cheeks were red.
The cold winds that often blow on the wasteland make these Siberian-born men a little unbearable.
Ilya, armed with a sniper rifle almost as high as his body, was now firmly planted in front of every soldier of the mortar battalion like a javelin.
I am here, I am with you!
Under the call of this belief, none of the soldiers of the mortar battalion said that it was cold, and they fought with themselves and the bad weather before they started a battle with the enemy in Qingyuan Fort!
Immediately clinging to the positions of the mortar battalions were the positions constructed by the anti-aircraft battalions!
Their position is relatively simple, just a high slope with a good view.
After the start of the war, they can condescend and make the enemy suffer with the weapon of destruction on their shoulders!
The power of 300 rocket launchers fired at the same time is estimated to be comparable to several Katyusha rocket launchers!
Time flies by!
Nine 122mm heavy howitzers have also been operated by the gunner with all their might, completing the final support before firing!
Nine swarthy cannon barrels were coldly facing Qinghe Fort three thousand meters away!
At the slightest command, they will turn that nasty fortress into ashes!
