Chapter 1187: Life and Death Guard 3

At this moment, General Barras looked at some of the generals under him, and they all looked a little excited, and couldn't help but be secretly happy. He knew that although the battle just now did not eliminate much of the enemy's combat strength, after all, it was in the absence of heavy combat weapons that it finally blocked the enemy's attack, and did not let the enemy's main combat force go beyond the Carlo stone bridge. In this way, it is equivalent to that, in a certain way, they still have a clear advantage in morale.

And some of the ground guns, or machine gun bunkers, and other military facilities, it is certain that even if they are destroyed now, they can still be built again. However, once the morale of one's own combat unit has been defeated, it is not so easy to raise it again.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Soon after, one of the small leaders immediately said: "Well, this, General Baras, it seems that although the other side has an advanced heavy tank, our anti-tank forces still have a certain lethality against them!" If it weren't for the opponent's assault squad, I'm afraid that our anti-tank squad could at least take out one of the opponent's heavy tanks! ”

After hearing this, the other small leader continued: "Well, in addition, our ground artillery also has good performance in counterattack operations. If we can build a few more ground guns, maybe we will be able to destroy at least one of the opponent's heavy tanks! ”

Listening to everyone say this and that, General Barras never spoke again. He knew that while these ideas were not unreasonable, as commander-in-chief, he had to consider the big picture.

Finally, General Barras said: "Now, everyone, in the first battle between Tong Guò and the other side, I can tell you unequivocally, that is, we now have these forces in Tong Guò's hands, and we can completely deal with the five advanced heavy tanks of the enemy army!" As long as you hold on until our reinforcements arrive, the defense capability of this military fortress will be further improved! ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Faced with this situation, General Barras couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He knew very well in his heart that although this time, he did not defeat a single heavy tank of the other side, but if there were no ground guns and machine gun pillboxes, it was certain that this attack of the other side would definitely lead to a long drive, and even this Kursk military town would eventually fall into the hands of the enemy. It is very possible. Therefore, in the next step, it is still indispensable to continue to build ground artillery and machine-gun pillboxes as an effective force to defend against the opponent's heavy tanks.

It should be said that under these circumstances, General Barras was very pleased that these generals under his command had such a good appearance. He is deeply aware that for any combat unit, although weaponry and comprehensive military strength are very important factors, in the final analysis, morale is the most important factor.

After that, General Barras said with great joy: "Ladies and gentlemen, in accordance with the opinions and suggestions you have just made, as well as the specific circumstances of the battle we have just ended, I now formally decide on our next combat policy. First of all, continue to build ground artillery and machine-gun pillboxes as the most basic combat force to defend against the next enemy attack. In addition, anti-tank infantry units, which were deployed on the left and right sides of the stone bridge, were the main force to attack the enemy's heavy tanks in the event of a second attack. Then, our infantry-spear units, as a mobile combat force, are also our general reserves, ready to be deployed at any time. Do you understand everything? "

-------------------------

Subsequently, all the military generals walked out of the temporary headquarters and entered their respective positions, directing their combat units to further build fortifications and prepare for another attack on the enemy side.

At the same time, General Barras was not in command of the improvised building, and stood in front of the window, looking at the sunset outside the window, the western sky, a dark red color, the distant mountains undulating, the sunset painted the sky, and the birds returning at dusk flew freely in mid-air, especially the ancient jungle, which looked unique under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Under these circumstances, General Barras knew very well that according to the current situation, as long as the enemy did not send more reinforcements, then, with the combat forces he now mastered, as well as relatively favorable terrain conditions, it should be said that he would be able to maneuver with the other side. He is confident in this. The first defensive operation, which ended not long ago, was already able to illustrate a qiē.

Now, General Ballas walked out of the headquarters and came to the fortifications, and looked at his engineering detachment, which was busy building the fortifications, and saw their skillful movements, superb skills, and hot scenes, and he once again felt full of confidence. In this case, even if the enemy's heavy tank force has a strong attack ability, it is not so easy to destroy all these ground guns and machine gun pillboxes.

------------------------

However, under this circumstance, General Ballas also faintly felt a trace of worry. Because, he now has a hunch, that is, the enemy side will definitely not attack in this way alone. After all, the other side has long been aware of the importance of this military town in Kusk.

From this point of view, it is very likely that the reason why the other side did not send a large-scale combat unit to launch an attack, but only sent a special operations team, is only a tentative attack. In other words, the other side is in a certain way, and the military preparations in all aspects are not yet in place. Therefore, it is only possible to obtain relevant information through a tentative attack like guò first.

In this way, it also means that in the next battle, it will definitely be more intense. Thinking of this, General Ballas couldn't help but frown tightly. However, fortunately, in the central base, the armored combat vehicles in the original main combat force have finished their rest and are now rushing here. It is estimated that it will take at least three hours to arrive.

That is to say, for three hours, he can still only rely on the combat force in his hands to defend this Kursk military town. One can imagine how onerous such a task is. To tell the truth, although at the operational meeting just now, General Ballas repeatedly stressed that he was very confident. In reality, however, it is the opposite.

In fact, at this moment, what he was most worried about was not the defense of Namdaemun. After all, in this Kursk military town, all the military power at his disposal is concentrated near the southern gate. That Carlo stone bridge happened to be the focus of his defense. As long as the other party allows himself thirty minutes, then this engineering detachment under his command can rebuild more than a dozen ground artillery and machine gun bunkers. With these ground guns and machine-gun pillboxes, plus that heroic anti-tank combat unit, it is believed that it will not be so easy for the other side to break through the southern gate and pass through the Carlo stone bridge. Although, General Barras had already predicted that the next attack would definitely be more violent. However, as long as he fought bloodily and went all out, he would not be able to fight if he lost the world, and he still had the confidence to stick to this Carlo stone bridge.

The crux of the matter, though, was that he feared an attack by enemy forces that could come from other directions. And the most likely direction is the direction of the main city of Klug in the north. Yes, it is. As the two most important main cities in this area, the main city of Klug and the main city of Manstana, will definitely be the focus of the enemy's defense, so in those two main cities, there must be enough combat strength of the enemy.

Now, in the direction of the southern gate, which he focused on defending, the main attack was the enemy forces from Mansteina. And the enemy attack force in the direction of the main city of Klug in the direction of the north gate has so far not appeared. And this is what he worries about the most.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At this time, General Barras's worst fears still appeared. Because, not so long ago, the communications corps came to report that in the direction of the north gate of the Kursk military town of Bianda, more than a dozen enemy light tanks were spotted and were attacking this side.

After receiving this news, General Ballas naturally looked very shocked. Because what he fears most is exactly that. It seems that the other party is in the main city of Kruger, and he has withdrawn from the battle troops in a panic. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other side to attack from the north. Moreover, more than a dozen light tanks at once made the already overstretched forces even more difficult to start.

------------------------

The crux of the matter is that now, he has put the focus of his defense in the direction of the south gate. And in the direction of the north gate, several earthen artillery and machine-gun pillboxes were tightly built, in addition, two anti-tank combat units were added. It should be said that such a combat force is very weak, and it is indeed very difficult to resist more than a dozen stealth tanks of the enemy.

General Barras was really in a great dilemma now, since, in the direction of the unit, Jinjin relied on the very limited combat forces there, and really could not take into account the enemy's attack. However, in the direction of the South Gate, near the Karlo Stone Bridge, it is now his main battlefield. Enemy troops attacking from the military town of Plovka could arrive at any moment. If he abandons the defense in the direction of the south gate and sends reinforcements in the direction of the north gate, he may be able to defeat the attack of the dozen or so enemy light tanks that came to this military town of Neupoli. However, then again, in this way, it is equivalent to giving up the defense of the south gate.

However, the Namdaemun side is also under tremendous attack pressure. After much thought, General Barras finally decided to remove a detachment of anti-tank combat units from the Karlo Stone Bridge near the South Gate and go to reinforce them. That's all he can do now, and that's all he can do for now.

General Barras knew very well that relatively speaking, the enemy's tanks had poor defensive capabilities, so his own anti-tank combat unit should be able to destroy them lightly. In this case, on the basis of the original anti-tank combat unit, after drawing out one of the past for reinforcement, it should be said that, together with the coordinated operation of the ground guns and machine-gun pillboxes there, it should also be able to exert a certain amount of attack pressure on the enemy's dozen or so light tanks on a certain distance.

As a matter of fact, General Barras has now clearly realized that the combat units he relies on the most are these anti-tank troops. Seeing that one of the anti-tank combat units in the defensive position of the Carlo Stone Bridge left the position and went to the north gate for reinforcements, General Ballas felt very helpless. He then issued an order to the engineering detachments to speed up construction and strive to build a larger number of defensive ground facilities before the enemy attacked. At the moment, that's all it can do.

-----------------------

At this moment, in the direction of the north gate, the dozen or so light tanks of the enemy army have already attacked. At this time, their soldiers were divided into two ways, one way, and fiercely attacked the ground artillery. The other seven light tanks were shelling Liu Shou's anti-tank troops there. Between the two sides, you come and go, and fierce battles are raging.

It should be said that the light tanks of the other side are still far from those heavy tanks in terms of comprehensive combat capability. Its only virtue is its speed. In this situation, in the face of the onslaught of ground artillery, the light tanks suffered heavy losses. However, in terms of numbers, they have a clear advantage after all. Therefore, as time passed, when the opponent lost two light tanks, all the seven to eight ground gun and machine gun pillboxes were finally destroyed by the opponent.

Subsequently, all the light tanks on the enemy side immediately completed the encirclement of General Baras's anti-tank combat unit. Although, before that, that anti-tank unit was a fighting force, fought bravely, and with their professional-level anti-tank capabilities, at least five light tanks had been destroyed. However, the opponent's numerical superiority in strength was once again reflected at this time. In the face of the opponent's breakthrough operation, the anti-tank combat unit was subjected to fierce artillery attacks in the four directions in front and behind.

Boom Boom Boom...... Coaxing...... One shell after another burst out from the muzzles of the light tanks. At the mouth of the cannon, dark red flames flickered incessantly, and then, like rain, the shells exploded one after another over the heads of the anti-tank combat unit. For a time, the anti-tank combat unit, which only had a dozen people, although it had professional-level protection, faced with such a bombardment, in the end, suffered heavy losses. Seeing that they have unexpectedly lost their combat ability.

At this critical moment, suddenly, from the direction of the south gate, another large anti-tank combat unit from the defensive position of the Carlo stone bridge finally rushed over. Immediately, one after another, anti-tank shells whistled and burst out, dragging a trail of gray-white tail smoke, flying away, accurately hitting one enemy light tank after another.

You must know that the main offensive weapon used by this kind of anti-tank troops is the shoulder-mounted anti-tank rocket. This kind of shoulder-fired anti-tank rocket has a professional-level armor-piercing ability, and this kind of enemy light tank has a relatively poor defensive ability and a weak armor, so it is naturally a little unbearable in the face of such a strong anti-tank artillery attack.

Yes, it is. Prior to this, it was these anti-tank combat units, faced with the enemy's heavy tanks and heavy armor, that were still able to seriously injure them and then destroy them with this professional-level armor-piercing and large destructive ability. Not to mention this light tank with relatively slow and weak armor.

In particular, this ground artillery anti-tank combat unit drawn from the defensive position of the Karlo Stone Bridge at the South Gate can be said to have attacked suddenly, appeared suddenly, took it by surprise, and attacked it unprepared. Under the condition that the other party did not pay attention at all, and the other party did not have any precautions at all, from behind them, such a dense burst of anti-tank shells suddenly fired. For a while, the opponent couldn't help but be in chaos, seeing that the losses were getting heavier and heavier, and finally had no choice but to set up the battlefield. Otherwise, the seven or eight light tanks involved are likely to be directly wiped out.

Yes, all along, so to speak, this is an important strategic tactic on the side of the enemy army. That is, once you find that the situation is not good, you will quickly retreat, save your strength, and after a certain amount of repair, you will turn around and attack again!
