Chapter 238: Republican Attack
"In the late autumn of the 7th year of the collapse, the armor of the Red Army of the Republic of Glory roared, the soldiers gathered, the soldiers were shoulder to shoulder, the drums were like thunder, and the morale was high!" - The Republican Chronicles
...
In the front line of the rebels, the soldiers hurriedly jumped into the trenches in the dense line of fire, raised their guns, and launched a counterattack with a roar of rage.
In the fortified bunker, the heavy machine guns erected by the sappers erupted into half-meter-long tongues of fire, shining with scorching flames, leaving afterimages in the air, pouring the rain of bullets forward.
The field artillery on the front line was also erected one after another, and in the explosion, hot grenades were sprayed, leaving traces in the air like starfalls, and they fell to the earth with a roar, destroying all life within a radius of 50 meters.
At this moment, the front-line commander of the rebel army was collecting information from all sides in the command room, and the artillery fire was roaring outside, and there was a lot of noise inside, and he felt that his head was about to be broken.
"Report to the colonel, the Qinling Huaihe front line is in a comprehensive emergency, and the strongholds deployed by our Central China Marine Army here have all been attacked, **This time it is not a trial, but a full-scale attack!" An adjutant who had just returned from outside ran to the commander in a disgraced manner, with blood on his face and black ash from the smoke of gunpowder, but he still reported it energetically.
"What is the approximate trajectory of the movement?"
The main force of ** was divided into three units, one from the capital Chang'an, and went straight to Yanzhou. The second group assembled the wilderness expeditionary force in the southeast to take Qizhou. There was also a force due south and rushed in the direction of Bianliang. ”
"Fuck you, a big pocket, this is trying to swallow us all at once?" The rebel commander suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this kind of frenzied fighting, he knew who commanded it with his feet, he quickly opened the strategic map, glanced at it, and scolded and said, "What a fucking bad luck, we blocked the muzzle." ”
This regimental headquarters of the rebels was stationed in Pingdingshan in the territory of Yuzhou in the old era, and Xuchang formed horns against each other, and if the enemy army wanted to cross the Luohe River and attack Bianliang, it must pass through here! No wonder the offensive is so fierce! This is the main force that directly encounters the radiance of the Republic!
The commander pointed to another signal soldier and asked loudly, "How is the response to the Xuchang division headquarters asking for help?" Did someone send it? We have more than 1,000 people here, and if we don't increase our troops, we will eat them all! ”
The communication soldier immediately reported: "Report, the general has sent an order from the head of Beijing to transfer the northern army to the south, relying on the Yellow River to hold Jin Province and Lu Province!" Reinforcements from the Xuchang Division will arrive immediately, and our department still needs to hold on to buy time for the transfer of the Northern Army! ”
The commander stared at the strategic map with a frown, and the general sect actually transferred the northern army back, and the heavy troops were hoarded in the two provinces of Jin and Lu, and they were fully entrenched on the north bank of the Yellow River.
When the defense line of the Northern Army is completed, there should be two options for the next move of Jiangzong, one is to use the Yellow River as a springboard, continue to increase troops across the river, and use the front line of the Central China Marine Army to start a tug-of-war with the glory of the Republic.
Another is that the Central China Marine Army will completely withdraw northward, abandon the south of the Yellow River, and stick to the mainland.
In the second case, the commander prayed that it would never happen, and if the Central Plains were abandoned, it would never be a good sign.
"Report to the colonel! Major General Gree's reinforcements have arrived! The herald ran in.
The stone in the commander's heart finally fell a little, walked out of the command room quickly, looked at the oncoming man, saluted him, and said loudly: "Lieutenant Colonel of the 214th Regiment of the 96th Division of the Central China Marine Army reports, thank you for your assistance, Major General Ge Lie!" ”
The major general named Ge Lie returned the salute to the commander, and his voice was like thunder: "Don't talk nonsense, the ** offensive is fierce, you must block this place, and you must not let it cross the Luo River, otherwise the Xuchang Division will be in an emergency, and Bianliang will not be able to protect it!" ”
Just as the two were exchanging battle conditions, the anti-aircraft artillery deployed at the base suddenly activated, and the incessant roar of artillery fire rang out, dense ammunition was shot into the air, and hot shells were scattered all over the ground, almost piling up into a hill.
At the same time, a soldier with a black face stumbled over and shouted, "Report colonel!" ** With the use of air-dropped aircraft, a large number of troops have broken through the defense in depth on land and are approaching the base! ”
The commander was shocked, and looked up at the sky, and at this moment, his heart was half cold.
What a spectacle it was, a huge group of transport planes flew high in the sky, densely dropping one chariot after another and tanks, and many soldiers jumped from the sky together, I don't know if it was deliberate, the parachutes they used for the airdrop were all red, one after another, like a fire in the sky, as if to burn everything in the world.
The airdrop of people and vehicles as a whole, this crude airdrop method is the favorite of the former Soviet Red Army, and the old republics did not have this kind of tactics, because there are still shortcomings at the technical level, even if the airdrop can be successful, the crew inside will be shocked out of the bile after landing.
Now, regardless of whether the Republic of the Radiance has achieved better shock absorption at the technical level, if not, then the only way to keep the members fighting is to select members who are physically strong enough to withstand the violent impact, and such members have only one identity... Evolver!
The scale of this airdrop was very large, but not all of them were dropped towards Pingdingshan, the huge transport group was relatively scattered, and continued to fly towards the area controlled by the rebels in the rear, and only a small part of the troops dropped here were very typical of the theory of large-depth operations.
Ground-borne anti-aircraft guns could easily tear apart the bodies of airdropped soldiers, but these small-caliber weapons were not enough to blow up armored vehicles and tanks, and when the first tank successfully landed, the ground was torn apart by a huge impact, and the rubble fluttered, and the few soldiers around who did not have time to escape from the bunker were directly crushed into primitive flesh and blood.
The rumbling tank stopped for three seconds before starting, and the hideous turret was aimed at a cannon anti-aircraft vehicle not far away, although the 85mm main gun was not as domineering as the main battle tank, but it still overturned the shell of the anti-aircraft vehicle with one shot, making it incapacitated.
The tanks that can be used for airdrops generally cannot be heavy tanks, only light tanks under 20 tons, so they are not so thick in terms of armor, and the shoulder-mounted anti-tank guns of several rebel soldiers easily beat this first tank into scrap metal, and the afterburns hit the ammunition box, causing a martyrdom, and the crew inside was roasted into charcoal by the heat before they could climb out.
Of course, this did not make the rebels optimistic, because this was just a tank, in the subsequent airborne, a large number of tanks and armored vehicles landed one after another, and there were 17 tanks and more than 30 armored personnel carriers as far as the eye could see, and the firepower formed by the heavy machine guns on the board easily tore apart the rebels' battle line from the inside, causing chaos.
