Chapter 222: The Train Breaks the Formation (Three Watches, Two Hundred and Fifty Monthly Tickets Plus)
After the Apache of the Light Chasers joined the battlefield, the balance of tank battles, which had been somewhat stalemate, was immediately broken.
Apache helicopters have a nickname called Tank Killer.
The Hellfire missiles mounted on the plane are specially designed to kill and injure armored troops.
Especially now that the tank troops of Daliao have been led to the depths of the wasteland, they have been somewhat disconnected from the large army.
In this case, in the face of the sudden attack of the Apache, the tank unit was suddenly dealt a fatal blow.
Twenty Apache flew into the air like a grim reaper, and one after another Hellfire missiles fell from the sky, and immediately shot countless fireballs on the ground.
These main battle tanks can carry even in the face of opposing artillery fire, but in the face of missiles that specialize in killing tanks, they really can't bear it.
Under the precise guidance of laser guidance, a large number of tanks were destroyed on the spot!
Booming explosions rang out one after another, and the armored troops of Daliao were defeated!
Some tank riders saw that the situation was not good, and even abandoned their tanks and ran back on foot.
The tank units of the Chasing Light Army took advantage of the situation to cover the past, and opened heavy artillery fire to replenish the enemy's tanks.
The stalemate was broken, and everything was irretrievable.
Tank after tank was wrecked and smashed into scrap metal on top of the wasteland.
On the contrary, those tanks abandoned by the soldiers, without the ability to fight back, were retained.
The battle is not over yet, and the Light Chasers are already thinking about collecting supplies.
Faced with the sudden rout of the armored forces, Rutgers was also completely unprepared.
It's half past four in the morning.
In an hour or so, 300 tanks were wiped out, which was unacceptable to him.
In fact, he didn't expect the armored forces to defeat the enemy, but the speed of the rout was a little fast, and the delay didn't last long.
However, it was still delayed for an hour, and the defense of the Daliao troops here had been almost arranged.
It's not a perfect defense, it's just a quick dig out of some cover with the help of snow.
This kind of snowdrift bunker is vulnerable in normal times, but in this wasteland where the snow is two feet deep, this kind of bunker really has some effect.
At least the vehicles of the Light Chaser Army could not rush through, and Rutgers was not afraid of relying on the 200 tanks alone.
In this kind of positional warfare, the role played by vehicles is not decisive, and it is the soldiers who play a decisive role in the end.
If the Light Chasers were covered by tanks and the infantry were to advance, Rutgers would have been fully confident that they would hold on.
He told himself in his heart that if he held out for another two to three hours, the helicopter troops of Volcano City would come to their aid, and then everything would be reversed.
The two sides did engage in a brief exchange of fire.
After annihilating the tank forces of Daliao, the armored battalion of the Chaser Army began to advance towards the opponent's position.
The troops of the direct battalion, followed by the tanks, also launched a wave of tentative attacks.
The tank turned into a bulldozer and rolled out roads above the wasteland for soldiers to follow.
Da Liao's troops also launched a counterattack in their positions.
Numerous rocket launchers, individual anti-tank missiles, fired at the tanks of the Chasing Army from all directions.
If it weren't for the three-star tanks on the side of the Chasing Light Army, this wave might have to suffer a lot of losses.
Fortunately, the strong defense of the three-star tank can still barely resist.
The troops of the direct battalion tried to charge, but quickly retreated.
There are too many people on the other side!
Even if tens of thousands of people died in the fire, there are still nearly 40,000 people defending this position, and this kind of bone is too difficult to gnaw.
"Near, it is not possible to charge like this, there are too many enemies, even if the quality of our soldiers is high, a hard charge will bring huge casualties, and it may not be able to win."
The men of the battalion directly under it withdrew, and the troops of the field battalion did not immediately follow, so it was not the best strategy to continue the fight.
Seeing this situation, Tang Zheng also signaled for the battle to stop temporarily.
In fact, it is not difficult to defeat the people of Daliao, the other party's baggage is gone, although there is some food carried by individual soldiers, but it can last for a day at most.
Even in this kind of icy weather, it is difficult for them to hold on for a day.
However, at the moment, the Chaser Army can't wait, the mountain fire behind has gradually decreased, and once the fire in the north is extinguished, they will definitely retreat to the north.
About thirty kilometers to the east, there is also a large abandoned market town, and if the troops of Daliao are allowed to run there, the variables of this battle will be too great.
Even if the Chaser Army pursued and killed along the way, it would be impossible to completely kill these 40,000 people, and Tang Zheng wanted a complete victory this time, because in his eyes, these enemies had other uses.
And Daliao will definitely not give up this force, maybe they will start their steamer again and forcibly cross the river to transport people to support, although it is very difficult, Tang Zheng does not want to dream too much at night.
Seeing that the opponent's defensive position was scattered and had a great depth, Tang Zheng knew that he should change his strategy.
He began to mobilize his troops and move them eastward.
Next, he had to cut the opponent's position in half and end the battle as soon as possible.
Repelled a wave of attacks from the Light Chasers, which boosted the morale of Rutgers' troops.
In this way, it seems that they have no problem holding on, but they hope that the reinforcements will not come too late.
These Daliao soldiers in the ice and snow cheered each other on, hiding in the snow caves dug temporarily, which also alleviated the cold a lot.
Rutgers is also constantly trying to resume the call, hoping to contact Volcano City as soon as possible.
The situation is moving in a good direction, and it seems that there is hope for them.
Woo~~~!
Whining~~~~!
Boom Boom Boom ~~~~!
Half an hour after the Light Chasers seemed to have died down, a long whistle suddenly roared, breaking the temporary silence.
Rutgers froze, and he couldn't believe his ears when he heard the voice.
"Flares!"
Someone immediately fired a flare, and the surrounding snow was lit up again.
In the darkness in the distance, a train was heading in the direction of their position!
The pitch-black body and huge headlights, like ancient monsters, rumbled forward, making the earth tremble.
"This can't be!"
When Rutgers saw this, he couldn't help but roar a little hysterically.
"There is no railway around here, how can a train run on the wasteland? How did they do it? ”
But his shouting didn't help, and as the train progressed, the snow was pushed away like sliced tofu, and the railroad beneath the snow was revealed.
It's not that there are no railways here, it's just that it's covered by snow.
Rutgers didn't know this, and they couldn't have imagined that the Light Chasers would spend a huge amount of money to build the railroad on the wasteland.
In fact, Tang Zheng not only built a railway, but also built a circular railway, which was built for this battle.
The soldiers in Daliao watched the train appear in a daze, and after a while, someone remembered to attack the train.
Countless soldiers opened fire on the train, machine guns, rocket launchers, and so on.
But soon they were desperate to find that the defense of this train was simply beyond their imagination.
Needless to say, bullets have no effect at all.
Even if the rocket falls on the train, it will only leave some scorched black.
In this way, the train rushed to the middle of the Daliao position with an unstoppable trend.
Originally, they thought that it was enough to avoid the collision of the train, and many soldiers from Daliao even deliberately approached the train to see if there was a chance to continue the attack.
Unexpectedly, the train slowed down and stopped when it reached the core of the position.
It wasn't until many Daliao soldiers approached that it revealed its hideous face.
The soldiers, who had been waiting on the train for a long time, began to shoot wildly!
Machine guns and Gatling guns made the whole train erupt in an instant!
Countless bullets converged into a torrent of metal, frantically harvesting the approaching enemy.
Bell Bell Bell Bell ~~~~!
This kind of weapon, which can explode even armored vehicles, is simply not too easy to fight people.
The bullets swept by, and the soldiers in Daliao fell down in pieces!
That's a 14.5 mm bullet, or even a 30 mm cannon, which can be shattered when it hits someone!
There were more than 1,000 soldiers on the train, and it was impossible for all of them to operate the Gatling and machine guns, and the rest of the people set up light machine guns at the shooting holes, which were like a whirlwind of human life.
Five minutes!
The armored train lasted for five minutes to erupt, and these five minutes of shooting wiped out countless troops in Daliao.
Around the train, the snow was stained red, and there were human stumps and broken arms everywhere.
At least 7,000 or more people died under the five-minute fire, not counting some wounded.
The proud defense of the Daliao people is so vulnerable in front of the armored train.
And more importantly, the rest of the soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and immediately chose to stay away from the armored train and fled in the east and west directions.
In this way, their position was directly cut in half.
On the eastern side, the tank units of the Chaser Army were again covered.
The four field battalions, all followed, and after a burst of heavy artillery bombardment, the battle of annihilation began.
On the eastern side, there are still about 10,000 Daliao troops, and the number is not advantageous at this time.
In the face of the frantic charge of the Light Chasers, they quickly collapsed.
They had even lost contact with their commanders, and seeing that they had entered the encirclement of the Light Chaser Army, some people soon laid down their arms and chose to surrender to the Light Chaser Army.
Their defeat was so fast that it caught Rutgers off guard.
He also intended to regroup in the west, and the battle in the east would come to an end.
At this time, the time had come to half past six in the morning.
Rutgers led the remaining 10,000 remnants of the army and glanced feebly to the north.
Reinforcements did not arrive.
A round of artillery bombardment had already begun on the side of the Light Chaser Army, and the tank troops were approaching again.
And his men were demoralized, cold and hungry, as if they couldn't hold on.
"I'm sorry, Count Ferdinand, I did my best."
Rutgers did not choose to commit suicide, but took the initiative to lead the team to surrender.
When more than 10,000 remnants of the Daliao raised the white flag and laid down their weapons, the battle of the snow field also came to an end.
In this battle, Tang Zheng forced the enemy to flee with fire attacks, and eliminated the opponent's armored forces with the cooperation of tanks and helicopters.
In the end, the armored train made a surprise attack, crushing the enemy's position in one fell swoop, allowing the Light Chaser to complete the final victory.
With less than 20,000 troops, he completely annihilated the enemy's 50,000 troops, of which 25,000 were captured, and the rest of the enemy were all killed in battle and buried in the wasteland.
After this battle, Daliao's war potential was dealt a heavy blow, and Tang Zheng could be sure that within four months or even half a year, they would no longer be able to pose any threat to the Chasing Light Army.
And to what extent will the light-chasing army grow in a few months?
