Street battles in urban defense warfare and urban security warfare street battles, although they are also street battles, but the intensity is completely different.

The former mainly relies on a large number of barricades and strong pillboxes to defend, and the defenders will deploy heavy troops at key points to establish a choke zone, control the traffic arteries, and block the attacker's advance.

However, in street warfare, the defender often relies only on existing buildings, and there are not many troops deployed in each building, and the attacker's troops are consumed by guerrilla attacks and harassment.

If you want to say the biggest difference between the two, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the intensity of battle.

In urban defense street battles, because of the scramble for key containment points, the intensity of the battle will be terrifying, and the two sides will sometimes even invest hundreds or even thousands of troops in a narrow street, drive the meat grinder to the maximum, and play the highest exchange ratio at the fastest speed, forcing one side to surrender.

A typical example of this kind of battle is the Second Battle of Fallujah fought by the United States.

In that battle, within 5 days, the U.S. army mobilized 12,000 people to organize an attack on the 3,000 or so defenders in the city, relying on a large number of heavy weapons and armored units to clear out, but in the end it still paid the price of more than 600 casualties.

But on the other hand, the pace of street fighting in law and order warfare is much slower.

There is no need to talk about the examples of battles in other regions, just talk about the actions of the Allied forces in the previous life to attack Lao Cai.

The same is about 12,000 people against 3,000 defenders in the city, this public security street battle has been fought for 60 days, and the total casualties on both sides are not even more than 100.

At the beginning, what Chen Shen wanted to fight in Daqili was actually a high-intensity urban defense battle.

The reason is simple, he only has 3,000 men at his disposal, and it is impossible to advance slowly and control area by area like the Allied army.

Only by forcing the opponent to fight a decisive battle at key points can the Dongfeng Corps assault group give full play to its advantages in firepower, equipment, and technology, and can we inflict large-scale damage on the opponent's vital forces by fighting more with less.

The battle in the first level of the stadium is a successful attempt to think about it.

But unfortunately, Zhao Jialiang saw through Chen Shen's plan and quickly responded.

He directly ordered his troops to enter the stage of public security warfare, and in this case, the decisive role of the Dongfeng Corps could not be played, and Chen Shen had no choice but to change his thinking.

All coalition forces were stationed on the spot, occupying the barricades and fortifications that had been captured, and entered into a brief standoff with the 505th Brigade.

Checkpoint 1 had been knocked down, and under the cover of smoke, the coalition forces had completed their maneuvering along the Tachili Highway, at this time occupying a 1.5-kilometer east-west stretch of road from the gymnasium to the front of Chausan Hospital, and occupied a construction area about 200 meters deep along the route.

The territory is not big enough, but it is enough to settle down temporarily.

We must first stabilize ourselves, reduce the pace of the offensive, reduce the speed of casualties, and reorganize the morale of the army!

Chen Shen led the assault team to maneuver quickly in the "temporary green zone" to help establish a defensive line in all areas that had not yet stabilized.

This commando team is like a battlefield sheriff, wherever they go, the exchange of fire will stop in an instant.

The intensity gradually decreased, and the battle of urban defense eventually turned into a war of law and order.

It took two hours for the temporary green zone to finally settle down, and with the actions of Chen Shen, the de facto "supreme commander", the remaining 2,700 troops of the coalition army finally stabilized.

However, this is only a stopgap measure.

Next, Chen Shen still had to quickly play an advantage and achieve results to break the morale of the 505 Brigade.

Otherwise, if it is really a stalemate at the level of "60 days", the supply of the coalition forces that are basically cut off will end up being a dead word!

Then it's time to hit the "exclamation point".

"Administrative units, ports, bridges, power plants, water plants, hospitals. There are 32 goals in total, and we have to take them one by one. ”

"Now that both sides have not been able to control the key traffic points, the whole Daqili is unimpeded, and this situation is the most conducive to our mobility."

"We are going to fight a small-scale leapfrog tactic in Dachili, using the breakthrough of armored units and the air supremacy of helicopters to jump over the dense, complex, and large-scale firepower network in the city and directly occupy key targets."

"With this goal in mind, safe delivery has become our number one priority."

"The two armored personnel carriers are our priority for protection, and we want to transport the ordinary militia of the coalition forces to key points and put them in control."

"If the enemy wants to fight us for control, then it's right in the game."

"Now, everyone is ready to go, the first target, Xiaosang Hospital!"

"Understood!"

The order was given, and everyone was up again.

But this time, it wasn't just the commandos of the Dongfeng Corps who joined the battlefield.

According to He Bangxiong's guidance, Chen Shen selected 20 people from the elite private soldiers of the 756 Brigade and sent them to the armored car.

Each of these soldiers wears heavy body armor, and if you look at it only in terms of equipment, it is already the elite of the elite.

However, after all, they were not a blood-licking and battle-hardened team like the Dongfeng Corps, and after a round of hard fighting, all of them had already felt instinctive fear.

This fear is manifested in them, that is, a nervous look, and a tense muscle.

"Don't be afraid!"

Chen Shen shouted at the people in the car:

"You are well-armed and well-trained, and they are nothing more than militiamen who have hit targets a few times."

"Don't dodge the bullets, they won't hit you at all, and even if they do, they won't be able to kill you!"

"The effect of body armor has been seen before, even if it is a heavy machine gun, it may not be able to penetrate it!"

"Just follow me and rush up, don't think about anything!"

"Yes!"

"Understood, sir!"

The chaotic response came, Chen Shen didn't say much, but directly slammed the car door, and then immediately got into the car and rushed out according to the planned route.

In fact, even at this time, he was still nervous.

After all, what they were about to attack was the Shawsan Hospital, where the enemy's firepower was most intensive.

"Firebird, pay attention to the road conditions and show the route."

Chen Shen opened his mouth and said.

"Understand, the road is clear, you can move on."

"Keep going, the smoke truck is following."

"Understood, I can see you. The target is 400 meters ahead. ”

With the continuous spread of smoke, the visibility on the entire street has been reduced to a minimum, Chen Shen held the HK416 in his hand tightly, ready to get out of the car and hide at any time.

The barricades of Xiao Sang Hospital were completely covered in smoke, and Chen Shen used a thermal imager to observe through the observation window, but no moving targets were found in the smoke.

"No active target found, Firebird, reported situation."

"No activity target found, done."

It's weird.

Chen Shen felt more and more nervous - in the city street fighting, he was not afraid of many enemies, but he was afraid that he would not see people!

Only by detecting the enemy in advance can it be suppressed in advance with the superiority of heavy firepower.

If you can't establish a vision advantage, the probability of being ambushed will increase dramatically!

Chen Shen could clearly feel that the threat level was rising, but he had no choice, the convoy couldn't stop, and if he stopped on the city road, the whole team would never want to drive away again.

So, he decisively ordered:

"Firebird, machine gun suppression."

"The vehicle strikes forward, quickly forms a fire support point, and the assault group occupies the barricade!"

"Understood!"

In an instant, gunfire exploded, and the entire barricade was covered with dense fire.

Smoke and dust were everywhere, some shells were hit by bullets, and violent martyrdom erupted.

Then, the speed of the entire convoy increased sharply, and in just half a minute, the convoy had crossed a distance of nearly 400 meters to reach the front of Xiao Sang Hospital.

But from beginning to end, not a single bullet was fired at the entire barricade.

And when Chen Shen really led the team to get off the car near the barricade and climb into the fortress to check the situation, the expression on his face can almost be described as "dumbfounded".

A large number of heavy weapons were discarded and ammunition piled up, which should have been fired out of the chamber with high temperatures, but in reality, the defenders here abandoned it completely.

They were determined not to collide head-on with the Dongfeng Corps, and even did not hesitate to throw away their heavy equipment and go directly into the hospital building!

What kind of strategy is this?

Even if you want to use skirmishers to fight street battles, you don't fight like this, do you?

Chen Shen suddenly realized that he still overestimated the militia of the 505 Brigade.

That's right, the previous heavy casualties were just an extension of the urban defensive battle, just the last return to the light after the blood of both sides, and after they established a green zone and took the initiative to reduce the pace of the attack, the defenders of the 505th Brigade finally came back to their senses.

People are afraid of death, and if they stick to the fortress, they will surely die.

Yes, you can kill the enemy, but the enemy can also kill you.

With a salary of 2,000 yuan a month, you are playing with them like this?

It's better to retreat into the building, if they really want to fight, then in a confined space with them in a defensive battle, and they can't use heavy weapons, it's really hard to say who will take advantage.

But if the enemy does not fight. So why do we need to get out?

In an instant, the situation on the entire battlefield became extremely strange.

Chen Shen, on the other hand, keenly captured this strange change.

So, at once, he ordered:

"The defense group organizes defense on the spot, a group of guns are aimed at the hospital, be careful, don't take the initiative to attack!"

"Just plug them in and don't let them out."

"The second group, pay attention to the enemy's activities on the streets, as long as someone approaches, shoot and kill!"

"Understood!"

At this moment, even the private soldiers of the 756 Brigade regained some confidence.

They saw that they were afraid of death, but the enemy was more afraid of death than they were.

As long as you don't take the initiative to shoot, no one will get along with you.

If you don't shoot when you meet, you're still a good fellow!

The battle plan of the Dongfeng Corps changed again, Chen Shen led the armored vehicle team to turn back, pull a new batch of private soldiers nearby, and began to rush to the next stronghold.

From now on, they are going to really move away from the Green Zone and go to the "hinterland" of the enemy-occupied zone, the Royal Hospital of Tachili.

The operation went smoothly, Chen Shen's convoy did not even fire a single shot, and the team crossed a distance of several hundred meters to reach the vicinity of the Royal Hospital.

It's almost exactly the same barricade, almost exactly the same plot.

But this time, at the gate of the hospital opposite the barricade, there were a few militiamen of the 505th Brigade who were squatting or lying on their stomachs with Bayi bars in their hands.

"The Firebird has found the target, has taken aim, has fired?"

Cheng Lei in the air is the one who knows the situation best, and after passing through the first stronghold, he has already understood the current situation.

It was precisely because of this that he did not shoot blindly, but cautiously waited for Chen Shen's order.

Hearing his words, Chen Shen frowned and thought for a moment.

Subsequently, he made an extremely risky move.

——

I pushed the door open and got out of the car.

At this moment, the tension between the two sides of the confrontation reached its peak.

With the help of the cover of the car body, Chen Shen looked at the few people at the door.

Then, he slowly turned around and aimed his gun at the empty sky.

"Bang bang bang-"

The defenders of the Royal Hospital understood this, and they also raised their guns and opened fire in the air.

For a while, the whole Royal Hospital was as lively as the New Year, but in fact, it was just the sound of gunfire!

Put the gun three rounds, and it will be considered a fight here.

The defenders withdrew into the hospital, while the Dongfeng Corps took over the perimeter of the hospital.

The firepower quickly changed hands, and just as Chen Shen was busy directing everyone to seize the machine gun position of the opposite building and establish control over the entire block, a scene that made him completely confused happened.

In the gate of the hospital, a plastic bag was thrown.

At that moment, Chen Shen almost ordered the helicopter to start the fire purge, and even the civilians in the building were left alone.

But soon, the private soldiers of the 756 Brigade stepped forward and picked up the plastic bag as if they were accustomed to it.

And inside, there are two cigarettes.

Chen Shen was really dumbfounded, in the past two years, he has rushed left and right in Pubei, and he doesn't know how many battles he has fought.

He always thought that he had integrated into the environment.

But only now does he realize that he is far from fitting in.

Damn it.

The plan was wrong in the first place.

What a meat grinder, what large-scale street fighting, what a last battle?!

It's all!

What should really be done is to establish a starting position close enough like now, and then encroach step by step, dissolving the opponent's will to fight step by step!

The train of thought is smooth.

The rest is all about taking action step by step.

There may be conflicts.

However, it is basically impossible to die on a large scale.

At this time, Zhao Jialiang in the command headquarters was completely dumbfounded.

The purpose of his order to block the stragglers was to deal with the ferocious offensive momentum of the Dongfeng Corps, in order to make the heavy firepower of the Dongfeng Corps and the core assault team unable to find the north, and constantly being consumed by his own guerrilla firepower.

It would have been a perfect strategy, and even in terms of the tactical game in a campaign, it was quite a brilliant response.

However, there is an extremely fatal flaw in this strategy, that is, both sides of the war must "want to fight".

According to his original speculation, the coalition forces must have wanted to fight.

Because without clearing out the defenders of Dachili, they could not really take over the city.

And as long as the coalition forces want to fight, their own militia will have to fight.

Because they have no way out, this is their home, and it is also the foundation of their life.

But he never expected that the Dongfeng Corps, a famous murderous team, would one day put down the butcher's knife and learn to "fight" in the most common way in this land!

Didn't you say that you would punch the master to death?

What's going on now?

Zhao Jialiang's face sank like water, looking at Zhao Youming on the side, he opened his mouth and said:

"It can't go on like this."

"They are encroaching on our territory step by step, and if they really let them occupy all the key strongholds, this city will not have to fight them!"

"Youming, you personally lead the team."

"Pull out the armored company and go and fight them hard!"

"Their core is the Dongfeng Corps, it is that Chen Shen!"

"Surround them, surround them at any cost!"

"They are surrounded, the coalition forces must come to the rescue, as long as they move, we can fight again!"

"We have to make that situation chaotic, not chaotic, we don't have to fight."

"Set fire to the city! On the white phosphorus bomb! ”

"Remember, they can only set the fire!"
