Chapter 20: The Attack and Defense of Kodak Town (End)

Under the cover of night, the twenty-four tanks of Ouyang Yu's army galloped on the dilapidated streets of Kodak Town, each tank carried several infantry of Ouyang Yu's army on its armor, and the twenty-four tanks carried a company in total.

It is a very dangerous thing to tie oneself to the tank with its practical rope, in case of attack, if the infantry on the tank cannot untie the rope in time, it is a live target under the enemy's gun, Huaxia in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam because of the lack of armored vehicles, many soldiers tied themselves to the bumpy tank, and could not untie themselves in time when they were attacked by monkeys, thus sacrificing their young lives.

Ouyang Yu has long considered this problem, first of all, whether it is a BT-2 tank or a T-26 tank, the speed is much faster than the magic energy tank in this world, and it is not even necessary to pass through the occupied area of the imperial army in the west, and secondly, the dark night has become the best cover for the tank and the infantry above, in this different world where there is not even a flashlight, it is extremely difficult to see the target in the dark night, and the soldiers in the imperial army are not a few soldiers suffering from night blindness because of nutritional problems, and they can't even see the road clearly, let alone shoot。

Therefore, the twenty-four tanks of Ouyang Yu's army were full of soldiers, and they easily rushed through the occupied area of the imperial army at the cost of only a few deaths.

The regimental headquarters of the 48th Regiment was less than seven kilometers away from Kodak Town, at this time the regimental headquarters was already in chaos because of the sudden night attack of Ouyang Yujun, Colonel Elliott, who was sleeping in Zhengxiang, was awakened by the violent explosion, a shell fell right near his tent, and the blast wave blew his tent down, Colonel Elliott finally crawled out of the collapsed tent with the help of the adjutant and several soldiers of the personal guard, and after he came out, he quickly asked the adjutant: "What happened?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on, but I can see that there is a lot of fighting going on in the town besides us, and it's likely that the enemy is attacking at night. ”

"Boom ......!"

Two more shells exploded near Colonel Elliott and his party, and Colonel Elliott's lieutenant reacted quickly, knocking him to the ground almost at the same time as the explosion, using his body to block the shells for Colonel Elliott.

"My lord, it's too dangerous here, please leave immediately!"

The adjutant pulled Colonel Elliott up from the ground and immediately admonished him, saying that he really didn't want Colonel Elliott to die here, because Colonel Elliott would not survive if he and the rest of the guards died.

Although the other world has a relatively developed alchemy industry, but the humanities and ideas are still in the feudal medieval period, if the aristocratic officer dies on the battlefield, then the adjutant and the personal guard who are responsible for protecting the aristocratic officer will be recognized as dereliction of duty, and after the battle, they will all be sentenced to death and publicly hanged, and the whole family will become the slave of the dead aristocratic family, and after becoming a slave, they will either be tortured to death or life is worse than death, in short, all are very miserable, so the adjutant and the soldiers of the personal guard around the aristocratic officer will also desperately protect their superiors for their families, both in the East and the West。

Colonel Elliott was not a man who was afraid of death, and he didn't care about the adjutant's adjutants and wanted to continue to stay here and command the battle, but his adjutant and personal guards didn't think so, for the sake of his family, under the adjutant's orders, the personal guards swarmed up and forcibly took Colonel Elliot back, they would rather be punished or even killed by Colonel Elliot afterwards than die here.

"Let go of me, let go of me, don't you bastards even listen to my orders?!"

Colonel Elliot struggled as hard as he could, but the adjutant and the guards turned a deaf ear and ran west with his hands and feet.

Colonel Elliott and his entourage had just left, Ouyang Yu's tanks launched an attack on the regimental headquarters of the 48th Regiment under the cover of infantry, twenty-four tanks lined up, and the infantry hid behind the tanks to indicate the targets for the tanks, and each tank was equipped with searchlights to see the target they wanted to attack.

Because the main forces were sent to the front line, the headquarters of the 48th Regiment only had a company of infantry on the defensive, and there were not many fortifications built, coupled with the previous artillery bombardment, when the tanks and infantry of Ouyang Yu's army came to attack, they could not organize an effective counterattack at all, Ouyang Yu's army only one round of impact defeated this infantry company, the soldiers of the imperial army either knelt down and raised their hands in surrender, or dropped their weapons and turned to flee, the regimental headquarters of the 48th Regiment was easily captured, and by the way, the disabled artillery of the 48th Regiment in the vicinity was also served。

According to Ouyang Yu's order, the tank company left a squad of soldiers to guard the prisoners, and the rest immediately turned around and attacked the Imperial Army troops west of Kodak Town.

Under the cover of night, a large number of soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army bent down and lowered their heads to minimize their own bomb area, and with the help of the buildings that had been beaten into ruins, the soldiers were scattered in squads, interspersed in all directions, looking for weaknesses in the imperial army's defense line.

As soon as a squad of Ouyang Yujun soldiers climbed over a low wall, a row of light bullets shot out from the houses not far away on the opposite side, knocking down three soldiers, and the remaining Ouyang Yujun soldiers immediately looked for cover and hid.

"Grenades!"

The squad leader shouted loudly, and the grenadiers in his squad each threw a grenade without hesitation, because it was a little far away, the grenade that was thrown did not kill or injure any of the Imperial soldiers after exploding, but the explosion caused the Imperial soldiers in the house to temporarily retract their heads, and the smoke and dust from the explosion also blocked the view of the Imperial soldiers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the squad leader and deputy squad leader and the machine gunner immediately fired suppressively, making the Imperial troops in the house unable to raise their heads, and then the four grenadiers left their rifles in their hands, took out their pistols and quickly ran out of the bunker to approach the house, lying under the window of the house and taking out grenades.

"One, two, lose!"

The four grenadiers under the window did not throw the grenade immediately after pulling it, but waited for three seconds before throwing it into the window with the Imperial soldiers, because the grenade's lead burned for a long time, and if it was pulled and lost, it was likely to be thrown back by the enemy, so it was delayed for three seconds.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The explosion of grenades in the house was mixed with screams, and just after the explosion, four grenadiers lying under the window rushed into the house with pistols, and after a burst of gunfire, one of the grenadiers made a safety gesture at the window.

Ouyang Yu's offensive is very ferocious, and the system soldiers do not have the problem of malnutrition, although they can't see far in the night, but with powerful automatic firepower, they can still kill and injure a large number of enemies, and the battle lines of Ouyang Yu's army in the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest have advanced far forward, especially in the east-west direction, the imperial army has been driven out of Koda Town, and the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army have reoccupied the peripheral positions.

The returning Ouyang Yu army tank launched an attack when the soldiers of the Imperial Army had just been driven out of Kodak Town, and after a row of guns, the machine guns on the tank began to fire fiercely, each tank had two machine guns, and forty-eight machine guns fired a rainstorm of bullets together, and the Imperial Army soldiers who were sandwiched between the Ouyang Yu Army and the Ouyang Yu Army Tank Company in Kodak Town were shot down in groups.

In less than ten minutes, the Imperial Army to the west was completely wiped out, and the tanks drove around the town non-stop towards the north.

After a night of fierce fighting, most of the 48th Regiment of the Imperial Army was wiped out, only the Imperial Army in the south survived with the support of the Magic Energy Tank, when the sun rose, Ouyang Yu ordered to stop the attack, and after a night of fierce fighting, her soldiers ran out of physical strength and energy and needed to rest, so the remnants of the 48th Regiment of the Imperial Army were surrounded, and the remnants of the lack of ammunition and food could not last long.

In order to continue to consume the energy of the encircled Imperial soldiers and increase their fear, under Ouyang Yu's order, all the mortars and field artillery under her command launched artillery bombardments on them from time to time, sometimes with one or two cannons to scare them, sometimes with all their might, for up to half an hour, so that the soldiers of the surrounded Imperial Army were frightened and their morale was almost completely gone.

After a full day of shelling, including the evening, the southern part of Kodak Town was completely in ruins, and on the third day the remnants of the 48th Regiment of the Imperial Army, led by the officers, surrendered under the white flag.

In this battle, Ouyang Yu's army basically wiped out the 48th Regiment of the Ninth Armored Division of the Ninth Front Army of the Imperial Army, captured more than 500 enemy soldiers (including those wounded on guarantee), and also captured three FT-1 wolf tanks, one FT-2 earth turtle tank, and nine magic crystal cannons that had never been captured by the allied forces of all countries.

In this battle, Ouyang Yu's army killed one hundred and seven soldiers, and fifty-one people were seriously wounded, and the casualty ratio of the imperial army was about 1:3, the main casualties were from the night counterattack, learning war in the war, the words of the great man were effective on both sides of the battle, except for the initial discomfort, the soldiers of the imperial army who hit the 48th regiment in the back have been more adapted to the attack mode of Ouyang Yu's army, so the casualties will be so large.

At noon on the third day of the battle, the 135th Regiment of the Allied Forces of All Nations was late, and after Ouyang Yu and the colonel commander of the 135th Regiment simply handed over their positions, they escorted the prisoners to the rear under the shocked eyes of the other party.
