At the time of the fierce battle in Kaskinen City in the south, the front line in the north was also full of gunfire, and the five infantry divisions placed on the front line by General Luther had been divided into two parts, east and west, the 111th Division, the 112th Division, and the 113th Division were surrounded by the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Infantry Divisions of Ouyang Yu's Army, and the 114th, 115th, and 113th Divisions were surrounded by the 3rd, 4th, and 6th Infantry Divisions.

After completing the task of dividing and encircling, Ouyang Yu's 1st and 2nd Armored Divisions turned south and headed straight for Kaskinen City, and the task of destroying the encircled Imperial Army was handed over to the six infantry divisions left.

Captain Randolph, the commander of the first company of the third battalion of the 22nd Regiment of the Fifth Division, is a native of Gaul, he was just thirty years old this year and was drafted to the front four years ago, after more than three years of fighting, he not only did not die but also made a little merit, served as a platoon commander in the Gallic coalition army, half a year ago the Gallic Kingdom defeated Captain Randolph's unit surrendered to the Imperial Army, unwilling to become a prisoner, he fled to the Duchy of Lucerne with a few henchmen, Ouyang Yu recruited when he wanted to drive the invaders out of Captain Randolph responded to the call to join Ouyang Yu's army, because of excellent learning and training was promoted to company commander。

The Imperial army built a large number of strong fortifications on the front line, which could not be completely destroyed by the artillery bombardment before the battle, and after the siege, a large number of Imperial troops retreated into the surviving fortifications and put up stubborn resistance, and Captain Randolph's third battalion was ordered to destroy the enemy hiding on the 113 heights.

113 Heights is an unnamed heights, the reason why it is called 113 is because the altitude of this heights is 113 meters, there are about two companies of Imperial troops on 113 Heights, the soldiers of the Imperial Army rely on the open bunkers and complete civil fortifications to fight very tenacious, several machine guns in the fortress suppressed Captain Randolph's company on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

In a large crater, Captain Randolph showed half of his head, observing the two Imperial machine gun fortresses not far away, the machine guns in the fortress continued to shoot dense light bullets, just now his soldiers launched three charges, all of them were knocked back, killing and wounding twenty or thirty soldiers.

"Lambert, no matter how you fight, you have to take those two bunkers down for me as soon as possible!"

Ouyang Yujun's radio station had been equipped to the platoon level, and just now Captain Randolph was talking to Lieutenant Lambert of the fire platoon, asking him to take out the machine gun bunker with mortars.

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

Soon several sixty-millimeter ** accurately fell on the machine gun fortress of the Imperial Army, and the firing of the machine gun fortress stopped instantly.

"Well fought, order the soldiers to prepare to charge!"

But as soon as Captain Randolph's words fell, the machine gun fortress of the Imperial Army began to fire frantically again, and the smoke from the explosion cleared Captain Randolph found that the sixty mm ** explosion on it only took away a little outer layer of cement, and almost did no damage to the entire structure and the personnel inside.

"Damn, if it weren't for this kind of terrain breaking and the three seven cannons couldn't push it up, these two pillboxes would have been pulled out a long time ago!"

The 37 cannon that Captain Randolph said refers to the M1930 37 mm anti-tank gun, and the super-caliber grenades fired can effectively deal with the machine gun fortresses of the Imperial Army, but the rugged terrain of the 113 Heights makes the artillerymen unable to push the 37 guns up with their strength, and because the attack is going smoothly, the artillery of Ouyang Yu's army is transferring on a large scale, and Captain Randolph cannot call for artillery support for the time being.

Just when Captain Randolph was at a loss, the communications soldier on the side excitedly shouted: "Comrade Captain, our company has received three opportunities for air support!"

"Great!" Captain Randolph snatched the intercom from the communications man's hand, and from the headset he heard the call of the pilot in the sky.

"Kitty Hawk Nine calls, Kitty Hawk Nine calls, hear it, please answer. ”

"This is Red Sixty-Three, please bomb the area of yellow smoke!"

"Kitty Hawk Nine understands, please mark the target. ”

Soon yellow smoke rose from the two machine gun forts of the Imperial Army, and two of the six I-153 fighters waiting in the sky for instructions immediately dived, and two hundred-kilogram bombs landed accurately on the machine gun forts.

"Boom! boom!"

In a deafening explosion, two machine-gun fortresses were blown to smithereens, along with the soldiers inside.

"Comrades, rush with me!"

Encouraged by the political commissar of the third battalion and one company, the soldiers jumped up from the ground and launched the fourth charge, this time without machine guns, and the soldiers of the third battalion and one company charged forward very smoothly for a long distance.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army on the 113 heights were naturally unwilling to sit still, they used various weapons to shoot at the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army, and the soldiers of the three battalions and one company lay on the ground in time to shoot at each other, and the I-153 fighters in the sky were not idle, and the six I-153 fighters used bombs, Rockets and machine guns repeatedly attacked the position of the Imperial Army, greatly reducing the pressure on the ground troops, taking advantage of the enemy's suppression by the fighters, the three battalions and a company launched a charge again, close to the position of the Imperial Army, followed by a dense rain of grenades, the soldiers of the Imperial Army were bombed, and then there was the performance of submachine guns and pistols, although the melee three-plate axe of Ouyang Yu's army was very old, it was very practical every time, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army in the position were quickly annihilated.

After occupying the position on the mountainside of the heights, the remaining Imperial troops were all squeezed to the top of the heights, and there was no hope of breaking through and there were no reinforcements, and the remaining more than 100 Imperial soldiers simply dropped their weapons and surrendered with their hands raised.

What happened on the 113 heights was only a corner of the huge battlefield, although there was no support from armored troops, but the six infantry divisions of Ouyang Yu's army attacked with strong air support, gradually compressing the enemy's living space, and I believe that it would not be long before all the imperial troops in the encirclement could be eaten.

A Me-109G8 combat reconnaissance plane flew in the blue sky, and the pilot, Second Lieutenant Gabri, was leisurely whistling while observing the situation on the ground.

"Wow, big troops!"

Second Lieutenant Gabli controlled the descent of his fighter plane, and could clearly see an army of tanks, trucks, and infantry walking down the road.

"This is Saker Eighteen, call the Eagle's Nest. ”

"This is the Eagle's Nest received please say. ”

"One hundred and seventy-three kilometers east of the city of Kaskinin, enemy mechanized units were found, and the number was ...... There are many, long roads of tanks and trucks and infantry I can't count, at least a hundred to two hundred tanks, hundreds of trucks, and at least twenty thousand more infantry. ”

The Eagle's Nest received it, and Saker XVIII continued to keep an eye on the target, providing guidance to the bomber group. ”

Saker 18 understood. "After the end of the communication, Second Lieutenant Gableli hovered in the air with his own fighter plane, "There is a good show to watch next." ”

On the ground were the Imperial Army's 11th Tank Division and the 118th Infantry Division, with the 11th Tank Division having 350 tanks, including the Wolf Bush, the Turtle and the most advanced FT-3 multi-turret heavy infantry tank.

After many battles with Ouyang Yu's army and coalition forces, the imperial army found that the FT-1 wolf tank with weak armor was no longer suitable for the battlefield and had stopped production, but there were still many wolf tanks produced in the early days, and it was impossible to abandon them, so they still equipped a large number of front-line troops for consumption.

The 11th Tank Division and the 118th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army on the ground had no idea that they had been exposed, and the bomber group of Ouyang Yu's army was flying, still burying their heads and advancing towards Kaskinen City.

More than an hour later, a group of black-pressed planes flew from the north, and the roar of huge engines reached the ears of Lieutenant General Richard, commander of the 11th Tank Division.

"It's not good, enemy fighters, immediately order the troops to hide and hide!"

On the morning of the thirteenth, the air force of the Imperial Army defeated and lost a lot of fighters, and now they have not eased up and cannot be dispatched, so it is naturally the air force of Ouyang Yu's army, Lieutenant General Richard anxiously looked at the troops on the road that had been chaotic, and he didn't know how many of them survived after the air raid.

In order to inflict heavy damage on the 11th Tank Division and the 118th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army in one fell swoop, Ouyang Yu sent out all the fighters and bombers under her command in addition to the more than 200 I-153 fighters that were supporting the ground battle on the front line, and the number of all the fighters and bombers under her command exceeded 300.

Sixty SB-2 bombers lined up in a neat bombing formation, flying over the 11th Tank Division and the 118th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army, one bomb after another fell from the magazine and then exploded on the ground, the Imperial soldiers, tanks, and trucks who could not dodge below were overwhelmed by the intensive bombardment, after the SB-2 bombing, the Ju-87 began to dive at a large angle, and the main target of the Ju-87 was the tanks of the Imperial Army.

"Woo......!"

With the shrill whistle beeping, a Ju-87 dropped a 250-kilogram bomb at a near-vertical angle, and a turtle tank on the ground was instantly reduced to a part.

One after another, under the command of the air commander, the Ju-87s launched a precise and merciless bombardment of the Imperial tanks on the ground, and Lieutenant General Richard and others counted after the bombing, and found that more than half of the 350 tanks under his command had been lost, and the rest was less than 120, and half of this half was still wolf-filled tanks.

Even the Ju-87s were escorting the bombers while they were plundering, and the 120 Me-109 fighters were not idle, and they also pressed the nose of the plane to dive, and repeatedly strafed the trucks on the road or the Imperial soldiers running around, leaving either burning trucks or a pile of broken corpses of Imperial soldiers in their wake.

The brutal bombing lasted for more than half an hour, and Ouyang Yu's military aircraft group, which had finished dropping bombs and running out of bullets, swaggered away, and Lieutenant General Richard, who was protected by the guards and came out of hiding, looked at the air raid scene like hell with blood dripping from his heart, and his 11th Tank Division and 118th Infantry Division were disabled.
