Volume Three, Cannons, Bombing His Mother, Chapter 447, Results
Half a month passed in a flash, and after the Great Cold, it was the time for Xue Yue and Lu Jianzhang to make a bet. On this day, on the simulated battlefield 20 miles away from the base, Xue Yue's troops were already on high alert. The two regiments were in front of him. The defense line was arranged according to the defense arrangements during the European War, with barbed wire and trenches. In addition, the two elite regiments were equipped with troops, none of the generals watching the battle were optimistic about Xue Yue's side. You must know that attacking is difficult and defense is easy, and the attacking forces are less than half of the opponent. How could such a huge gap in power can be won?
"Xue Boling! It's still too late to admit defeat now. As long as you admit defeat, I can stop you from being a groom. How about it?" Before the exercise, Lu Jianzhang specially called Xue Yue to come and suggested with a smile. Jia Zongrang, who was standing beside him, was immediately overjoyed and winked at Xue Yue desperately. What a good opportunity. The situation in front of him is obvious. Xue Yue will definitely be hit in front of the defense line. Now it's time to admit defeat, not to mention that the other party is the highest commander of the Northwest Military Region. If you are soft and lowered, no one will say anything about Xue Yue.
But who would have thought that Xue Yue frowned after hearing this and said loudly: "Commander Commander! Xue Yue, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 322nd Regiment, was ready. Please give orders to the commander commander!"
"Why is this guy just a stubborn?" Jia Zong's smile suddenly solidified, and replaced it with an indescribable bitter smile. Xue Yue was too ignorant. Lu Jianzhang rarely gave him a favor. It would be fine if this kid didn't appreciate it, but he even opened his mouth and pushed himself against the wall. He was simply ungrateful.
"Okay! Be strong! This is the soldier!" Just as everyone thought Lu Jianzhang would be furious and scolded Xue Yue severely on the spot and waved his sleeves away, Lu Jianzhang laughed instead, looked at the young officer with admiration and nodded, raised his hand to point at the exercise position: "Go! Let me see your ability."
"yes!"
Stand at attention and salute! After the ceremony, he turned around and accepted the order neatly and trotted towards his side.
"Everyone, let's see if it's Xue Laohu's fist hard or the shield of our northwestern man." He greeted the generals behind him. Lu Jianzhang led everyone to the temporary observation point not far away, because this exercise was completely different from the previous ones. Except for the exercise bullets used by both sides, and the use of large-caliber heavy artillery was not allowed, everything else was no different from real war. In order to ensure the observation effect and safety, the garrison specially built an observation point with reinforced concrete in the highest terrain nearby.
After entering the observation point, everyone raised their telescopes and looked out through the observation port. The area where the troops on both sides were located was clearly visible in the distance. A few minutes later, with a sharp gunfire, the exercise officially began.
The attacking side did not have the assumption that everyone imagined, and then launched an attack. Xue Yue's tank company was in the center with No. 1 in the center, and the remaining nine tanks lined up in cone shapes, like a sharp knife. The infantry immediately followed them and moved forward alternately among the tank group. When the entire army advanced to a distance of 1,200 meters from the defensive position, Xue Yue ordered the flag bearer to convey the banner of formal attack. The ten tanks first stopped slightly on the road ahead. Then the gun barrel pointed to the same area and opened fire suddenly.
"Boom...boom...boom..." The powerful tank guns set off a fire in front of the position. Before the explosion smoke dissipated, the troops who had already prepared had increased their accelerator as planned and started attacking. The infantry following behind the tank also accelerated their pace. When they rushed to a distance of 800 meters, the machine guns on the tank and the infantry hiding behind the tank began to shoot almost at the same time, mixed with convenient mortars and grenade launchers.
"Damn it! Hold it down! Shoot the gun! Flash the machine gun! Never let these bastards rush over!"
The two regiments' defensive positions were about one kilometer away from the front. At the beginning of the exercise, the commander who served as the defense side of the exercise looked down on Xue Yue at all. In his opinion, these people were just daring to attack his own defense line head-on, which was simply a rock hit. But at the beginning of the exercise, he was shocked to find that Xue Yue ignored the entire defense line at all. Instead, he commanded the troops to rush straight to his left wing like a tiger going down the mountain.
Through the smoke, the defensive commander came back from the attack of the tank gun when he was surprised to see the attacking speed of the attacking party being surprisingly fast. With a distance of 1,200 meters, the opponent rushed to less than 500 meters in less than a few minutes. The barbed wire mesh set at the front did not play any role at all. It was easily crushed by the torrent of steel, and was torn to pieces like a piece of paper.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander hurriedly called for artillery fire and machine guns, and at the same time issued an order to mobilize the right wing troops to come for support. More than ten seconds after the order was issued, the commander breathed a sigh of relief after the mortars and machine guns behind the defensive positions opened fire one after another.
"Hey! This...this..."
After a counterattack, the commander staring at the front suddenly widened his eyes. Logically, the counterattack he made was not improper. According to normal results, the opponent would inevitably suffer huge losses. But now, in fact, neither artillery fire nor machine guns could stop the opponent's tank from continuing to advance, and even the infantry hiding behind the tank was not seriously damaged.
"Adjust the angle! Artillery fire will destroy the enemy infantry first! Eliminate the enemy infantry first!"
The commander is also a veteran war. When he found that his weapons could not cause lethality to the attacking tanks, he quickly changed his counterattack method. He planned to kill the infantry behind the tank first. As long as there were no infantry, the iron lumps in front of him would be of little use. At that time, there would be no need to take the initiative to fight. As long as they were away from the front, they would fall down and let them slaughter by themselves.
Soon, all the counterattack artillery fire adjusted the angle and targeted the infantry behind the tank. But they did not expect that at this time the enemy formation changed, the tanks in front of them slowed down slightly, and the infantry, who had been a distance away from the tank, immediately rushed up, dispersed in squads, and continued to advance with the cover of the tank.
This made all the defensive artillery fire fall out. Because the soldiers who were covered by tanks were not very casualties, except for a few unlucky people, most of them were unscathed. They took this opportunity to advance more than 200 meters, and they were about to rush to the front of the position.
"Dada...dadada...bang...bang..."
The closer the distance was, whether it was tank guns, machine guns, or even the rifles of infantry fighting in concert, brought great casualties to the soldiers on the defensive positions. In just a few minutes, the defensive positions had a sign of collapse. With another fixed-point shelling of tank guns, finally, a gap appeared in the position that looked as if it was solid. Before the commander could mobilize troops to block the gap, a tank rumbled in like a steel giant.
"Transfer! Transfer now! Transfer to the right wing!"
The commander was anxious that the collapse of the left wing was irreparable, and the flesh and blood body could not compete with steel. The tanks rushed in one after another. Not to mention the black-hole tank guns and the machine guns that were constantly ejected on them, the soldiers could be crushed to pieces with their huge bodies.
Before all the orders were issued, Xue Yue commanded the troops and rushed into the rear of the position. Then a large detour was divided into two groups, continuing to attack along the opponent's retreat route, and the other group circled and rushed straight to the rear of the right wing. This immediately caused the entire position to be in chaos. The troops retreating to the right and the reinforcements who had received orders to reinforce the left wing were squeezed into a group in the middle area. But the opponent's attack continued. On the one hand, the infantry that rushed in dispersed and consolidated the occupied positions. On the other hand, they cooperated with the tanks to continuously expand the results, causing heavy casualties on the defense side.
More than ten minutes later, the positions stationed by the two regiments had been compressed to a very small area. According to statistics, the casualties of the defense were as high as 30%. The remaining troops had lost their position cover and rear. They had to face indestructible tank oppression and elusive infantry strikes between the barbed wire and the trenches they arranged. The destruction of their entire army was in front of them. Although under the insistence of the commander, many troops still rely on the remaining positions to resist, this resistance could be seen by anyone. It was only a matter of time to defeat.
At the observation point, all the generals looked at this scene in a daze. No one expected this result at the beginning of the exercise. In many people's minds, Xue Yue was the party that must have failed. It was already amazing that this exercise could bring some losses to the defense party. Unexpectedly, within half an hour of the exercise, the defense line that was considered impossible to break through easily collapsed. The defeat of this defense party was so fast and so tragic that the result of this subversion broke down.
"Call the referee and stop the exercise. There is no need to continue this battle." Lu Jianzhang said lightly, then looked around, and looked at the astonished subordinates without saying anything, and went straight out of the observation point.
