Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 67 Counterattack

Of course, the opportunity for this storm to detonate has not yet arrived, so let's turn our attention to the city of Suzhou in the east again.

When the rebel offensive began, Yamamoto 66 loaded his tanks and personally went to the front line to suppress the position, throwing all his troops into the battle that would determine the victory or defeat of the South.

The infantry units took the lead in the offensive and attacked several of the support points of the Korean army, using various explosives to destroy the buildings first, and then further advance to clear the ruins, and when all the defenders were eliminated, one support point was captured.

This would naturally make it less difficult to maneuver, but the rebels did not have enough explosives to support the infantry units to capture all the support points, so they could only concentrate on a few of the strongest support points.

Under the ravages of powerful firepower, even the strongest buildings will eventually collapse. As the most important support point of the front line, the Suzhou City Mansion, which was naturally attacked by the enemy.

Among them were not only infantry throwing explosives, but also a continuous artillery fire from tanks.

In the face of such a fierce attack, the buildings in the Suzhou City Government Mansion were almost razed to the ground, and all the once prosperous buildings were reduced to ruins.

Immediately after the explosion, the rebel infantry began to clear the remnants of the defenders from the rubble, while the rebel tank units blocked reinforcements from other directions, and the debris here and there restricted the tanks from advancing into the interior of the palace.

In order to resist the onslaught of the rebels, the Korean army even pulled artillery to the front line, fired at close range to destroy tanks, and even used the iron armor of artillery as a fortification to launch a counterattack against the enemy.

On the front line where the two armies are fighting, every window, behind every broken wall, behind every scrapped tank, behind every pillar, there is the possibility of spitting out deadly tongues of fire at any time, and it is no longer that the soldier needs to march here, but luck.

At this moment, the army of the DPRK no longer allows anyone to retreat from their combat posts, not only retreat, but even a single retreat, people must coexist with the position, and any deserter will be executed on the spot, without any room for mercy.

Any barricade, any place with large fragments as cover, is considered a position, and the enemy wants to break through the support point, not only in the defense of the support point, but also in various kinds of resistance along the way.

The meat grinder in Suzhou City has been running at high intensity for more than an hour, and the commanders of both sides have long since stopped paying attention to the number of casualties, but have only numbly filled one army after another into this bottomless abyss.

The ammunition of the guns was exhausted, the bayonets and sapper shovels were worn out, everything around the soldiers and even their own bodies were usable weapons, and the soldiers of the DPRK and the rebels in close contact were entangled.

The battle of Suzhou City was no different from the Northern Expedition.

In order to cooperate with Yang Guangdao, the Northern Expeditionary Army launched a group assault, confronting the enemy's follow-up forces head-on without any support or supplies, and blocking their support for the battle in the city.

No matter how strong the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were, they could not defeat 10,000 people, and their blocking groups were getting smaller and smaller.

The high-intensity confrontation in the city has ended, and now the battle situation has become so chaotic that the command in the rear does not know where the front line has been, and can only constantly throw all the reserves in their hands into it.

Every crater is a position, every ruined building is a fortress, and every intersection is a point of contention. The front-line troops, who had received orders from the rear command, either stuck to their area, or took the initiative to destroy all the enemy they encountered.

The communication device of the tank unit was destroyed by the Taoist priests of the Korean army in the battle just now, and the communication system has completely failed, and they can only fight in small groups.

There is no way to judge its location with the original map, and any surface buildings have been destroyed, and some buildings that may be of help to the enemy have been destroyed by the defenders.

Yamamoto Sixty-six was now in a half-collapsed house and a group of officers were trying to map out the general movements of his troops, and then plan the general direction of the attack.

The key objective of the Suzhou City Government has been successfully captured by the front-line troops, but the tank units have also suffered heavy losses as a result, and now the front-line troops have to use infantry vehicles to serve as armored spearheads.

The good news was that the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was blocking the supporting forces in the rear, was surrounded by a large number of troops, and it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.

However, the tenacious fighting will and fighting quality of the Northern Expeditionary Army, as well as the fact that they occupied a forest, made Yamamoto 66 hesitate to decide to completely eliminate them.

If they were to be eliminated, the cost would be far greater than the calculations of the General Staff, which was a huge variable; And if they are not eliminated, then the harassment and attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army will also be a headache, which is also a variable. Whether the Northern Expeditionary Army is eliminated or not, it may affect the direction of the war.

In the end, Yamamoto 66 decided to send a force to surround the woods to ensure that the Northern Expeditionary Army would not send men to attack his rear, and then immediately let the reinforcements enter the city of Suzhou to fight.

Although there is no detailed real-time report on the front, it is not very passive for Yamamoto 66, he only needs to adopt the tactics of central breakthrough, constantly attack the front of the Korean army with a group charge, and as long as he opens a gap, he can use the armored spearhead to directly penetrate the position of the Korean army.

Then you can keep rushing forward, widening the gap, and victory is a matter of time. Yang Guangdao, who was on the other side, naturally understood the enemy's tactics, so he directly formed a communications unit to continuously transmit the information of the frontal defense line to his headquarters.

Artillery units almost non-stop smashed the supply of shells from the rear on the front line. Basically, as soon as the artillery shells were sent from the rear, the artillery units were able to empty all the supplementary shells in more than ten minutes, and then all the artillery soldiers began to hold their positions on the spot.

All the lightly wounded in the field hospital have all returned to combat positions, and the hospital is also preparing for retreat, which means that even if you are seriously wounded, you will not be carried from the front line to the rear, and only death is the end of duty.

After several hours of fighting, the rebels advanced the front roughly a kilometer. The army of the Dynasty was only a quarter of the size of Suzhou City, and because it was a quarry and lumberyard, there were very few buildings that could be used as fortifications, and it was too late to build the fortification pit now.

The Taoist troops had suffered losses in the previous battles, and were now basically equal to the enemy's hidden forces.

Under the high-intensity military order, there have been no troops fleeing for the time being. Rather than being eaten away by the enemy little by little, Yang Guangdao decided to take all the remaining strength at hand to make a charge.

He walked out of the house where the lumberjacks who served as the bunker of the command lived, replaced the military cap on his head with a steel helmet, and took off his military overcoat.

Outside, the appearance of the military attaches has long been covered by the smoke and dust of the war, their torn military uniforms, their blood-stained faces, and the steel helmets of the rebels have to be used because of the shortage of supplies.

The Taoist priests also did not have the immortal aura of dust, and in order to avoid being set on fire by the enemy, the Taoist robes had been changed into the military uniforms of ordinary soldiers.

As Yang Guangdao's guards, these elite soldiers had gone to weak points in the defensive line several times to resist the enemy's onslaught, and many of them had white gauze wrapped around their heads.

Yang Guangdao didn't say much, but when he came out of the headquarters with a group of staff officers, it was already self-evident what he was going to do.

A staff officer consciously began to concentrate important materials in the headquarters for incineration, the military attachés who stayed outside began to distribute weapons and equipment, and the Taoist priests checked their belongings.

The soldiers of the Guards automatically rose one level and dispersed to lead the reserves.

The artillerymen received the order, concentrated the shells in one direction, and then began the most massive artillery offensive of the day, which suddenly interrupted the momentum of the rebels' advance.

When the troops of the second line of defense were shelling, the soldiers who were able to escape were all in the direction of the troops led by Yang Guangdao.

Yamamoto 6roku, through the report of the front-line troops, had roughly confirmed that the Kunicho army intended to give it a go and launch a final counteroffensive.

He immediately personally commanded the remaining ten tanks in his hands to go in the direction of the enemy's counterattack. The artillery units of the rebels opened fire at full power, and the artillery of the Korean army began to bombard.

Half an hour later, Yang Guangdao led his troops to rush out of the trenches at the forefront of the Guochao army.

Yamamoto Sixty-six led the tank force to break through the last wall in front of him, and the two men finally saw their enemy, and the two troops collided together.

Yang Guangdao's most powerful thing is his Dao technique, and now he has fully used his Dao technique, and even the heavens and the earth have changed color for a while.

Although Yamamoto Sixty-six was inferior to Yang Guangdao in terms of hidden strength, he was not frightened in the face of such a drastic change in heaven and earth, and calmly ordered the army in his hand to fight.

Soon, gunfire rang out one after another, lightning and thunder roared, and the wind roared, and the figures of countless gods and demons appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

The rest of the soldiers on both sides watched in staring blankly.

On the side of the national dynasty, there was also a team of Taoist priests who made an altar and sacrificed with the most forbidden blood, and all the Taoist priests cut their foreheads to let the blood Zi Tianling cover flow down.

The living meteorite fragments sealed under the ground of Suzhou City were activated, and the living meteorite fragments controlled by instinct first killed all the Taoist priests present, and then galloped away in the direction of the rebels.

The rebels' hidden forces had to be sent in large forces to resist. Fortunately, it was only the fragments of the living meteorite that were partially activated instinctively, so they were barely blocked by the rebels.

The counterattack by the Korean army lasted more than an hour. When the vision of heaven and earth on that side of the battlefield disappeared and the sound of gunfire disappeared, the temporary supreme commanders of the two forces immediately dispatched reconnaissance troops to investigate the final result.

However, after half an hour of reconnaissance, no one was standing, or at least alive.

The Korean army first stopped probing and launched a counterattack from all fronts. The rebels did not get accurate information on whether the enemy's counterattack was successful, so they were defeated and retreated one after another by the Korean army, and the two sides returned to the situation of half of each station again.

Although the Korean army no longer had enough soldiers to maintain the defensive line, as long as the counterattack did not fail, then even if it was killed with the enemy, the dynasty would have won, because the infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army had already reached the rear city of Hangzhou after a forced march, which meant that even if the city of Suzhou was lost, the enemy would not be able to occupy the south.

At this time, the battle situation has basically been determined, if the rebels no longer attack and stick to the areas they occupy now, then the next is the home of the Northern Expeditionary Army, not to mention what the political situation will be, the empire can at least annihilate all the rebel vassal states in one fell swoop, because in any case, the Northern Expeditionary Army has already arrived at the front line, so there is no such thing as withdrawing halfway without hitting the enemy's capital and destroying the country.

If the enemy launches an attack, then the two sides can only stalemate on the front line of Hangzhou City, losing some major cities in the south, the Northern Expeditionary Army is not a god, it is impossible to quickly break the rebels, with the strengthening of the support of the Southern Luoya Empire, this battle will inevitably rise to the point of the Northern Expedition War, which is somewhat unaffordable for the dynasty.

Therefore, the Northern Expeditionary Army only rested for a short hour, and then set off again, according to calculations, they must at least reach Kaifeng City before the city of Suzhou is broken, and then start a defense on the front line of Kaifeng City.

It depends on whether the enemy continues to attack or holds on.
