"In the late autumn of the seventh year of the collapse, the red army's armor roared, soldiers gathered, and soldiers were all shoulder to shoulder, drums were like thunder, and morale was full!" - "Chronicle of the Republic"

...

In the front line of the rebels, soldiers hurriedly jumped into the trenches in the dense line of fire like a long dragon, raised their guns, and roared and launched a counterattack on the army ahead.

In the solid bunker, the heavy machine gun set up by the engineers burst out with a half-meter-long flame, shining with scorching flames, leaving behind afterimages in the air, pouring the rain of bullets forward.

The field artillery on the front line was also set up, and hot grenades were sprayed out in the explosion, leaving traces like stars in the air, roaring down to the earth, destroying all life within a radius of fifty meters.

At this moment, the rebel front commander was collecting information from all parties in the command room. The artillery fire was roaring outside and the noise inside. He felt that his head was about to be broken.

"Report to Lieutenant Colonel, the front line of the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River is in full swing. The strongholds deployed by our Central China Army were attacked. **This time it was not a temptation, but a full-scale attack!" An adjutant who had just returned from outside ran to the commander with a dirty face, with blood on his face and black and gray on the smoke, but he still reported with great energy.

“What is the general trajectory of action?”

"The main force of ** was divided into three groups, one of which came out of the capital Chang'an and rushed straight to Yanzhou. The second group gathered the wilderness expeditionary army in the southeast to capture Qizhou. Another group of soldiers rose south and rushed towards Bianliang."

"Damn it, a big pocket, is this trying to swallow us clean at once?" The rebel commander suddenly burst into cold sweat. He thought to know who was commanding this crazy way of fighting with his feet. He quickly opened the strategic map, glanced at it, and cursed, "It's so fucking bad luck, we're blocking the gun."

This rebel unit was stationed in Pingdingshan, Yuzhou in the old era, and formed a horn with Xuchang. If the enemy army wants to cross Luohe and attack Bianliang, they must pass here! No wonder the offensive is so fierce! This is the main force of the Republic's Glory!

The commander pointed at another correspondent soldier and asked loudly: "What is the response from asking for help from the Xuchang Division? Did the person send you over? There are only more than a thousand people here. If we don't add troops, we will eat us all!"

The correspondent soldier immediately reported: "Reported that the general has sent a commander from the head of Beijing to transfer the Northern Legion to the south, relying on the Yellow River to defend Jin Province and Shandong Province! The reinforcements from the Xuchang Division Headquarters arrived soon, and our army still needs to defend to buy time for the Northern Legion to mobilize!"

The commander stared at the strategic map with a frown. The general actually transferred all the northern legions back, and he also hoarded the heavy troops in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shandong, and fully defended the north bank of the Yellow River. Judging from this, it seemed to be avoiding the edge!

After the Northern Legion's defense line is completed, Jiang Zong should have two options for his next action. One is to use the Yellow River as a springboard, continue to cross the river and increase troops, and relies on the front line of the Central China Army to launch a tug-of-war with the glory of the Republic.

Another type is that the Central China Army retreated northward completely, abandoned the south of the Yellow River, and held its own territory.

In the second case, the commander begged not to happen. If he gave up on the Central Plains, it would never be a good sign.

"Report to Lieutenant Colonel! Major General Ge Lie's reinforcements have arrived!" The messenger ran in.

The stone in the commander's heart finally fell a little. He quickly walked out of the command room, looked at the aggressive person coming towards him, saluted him with a military salute, and said loudly: "Lieutenant Colonel of the 214th Regiment of the 96th Division of the Central China Army Army, thank you for your assistance, Major General Ge Lie!"

The major general named Ge Lie gave the commander a gust and his voice was like a loud thunder: "Stop talking nonsense, **The offensive is fierce, be sure to block here, and do not let him cross Luohe, otherwise the Xuchang Division Headquarters will be in a hurry and Bianliang will be unable to protect it!"

Just as the two were communicating the battle, the anti-aircraft guns deployed at the base suddenly started, and the endless sound of artillery fire sounded, dense ammunition was hit into the air, and the hot shells fell to the ground, almost piled up into small hills.

At the same time, a soldier with a black face stumbled over and shouted loudly: "Report to Lieutenant Colonel! ** used an airdrop aircraft, and a large number of troops broke through the land-depth defense and were approaching the base!"

The commander's body shook and looked up at the sky. At this moment, his heart was half cold.

What a spectacular scene this is. A huge fleet of transport aircraft flew over high altitude, and densely dropped one chariot and tank after another. Many soldiers jumped down from the sky. I don’t know if it was deliberately done. The parachutes they used in the airdrop were all red, one after another, like the prairie fire in the sky, as if they were about to burn out all the things in the world.

The man-car airdrop was a favorite of the former Soviet Union's Red Army. The old Republic did not have such a tactic because there were still shortcomings in the technical level. Even if the airdrop was successful, the crew inside would be shaken out of their bile after landing.

Now, regardless of whether the Republic of China has achieved better shock absorption at the technical level, if not, then to ensure that members maintain combat effectiveness, they can only choose members with strong physical fitness that can resist severe shocks, and this member has only one identity...Evolutionist!

The scale of this airdrop was very large, but not all were thrown towards Pingding Mountain. The huge transport aircraft group was relatively scattered and continued to fly towards the area controlled by the rebels in the rear. The troops dropped here were only a small part, which is a very typical theory of large-scale combat.

The ground-loaded anti-aircraft guns can easily tear the bodies of airdrop soldiers, but these small-caliber weapons are not enough to explode armored vehicles and tanks. When the first tank landed successfully, the huge impact force shattered the ground, and the gravel danced. Several soldiers around who had no time to escape from the bunker were directly crushed into primitive flesh and blood.

The rumbling tank started after three seconds of stillness. The hideous turret aimed at a cannon air defense vehicle not far away. Although the 85mm main gun was not as domineering as the main battle tank, it still overturned the shell of the air defense vehicle with one shot, causing it to lose its combat capability.

Tanks that can be used for airdrops are generally not heavy tanks, but light tanks below 20 tons, so they are not that heavy in armor. Several rebel soldiers' anti-tank guns easily knocked the first tank into scrap iron, and Yu Yan hit the ammunition box, causing a death-destruction explosion. The crew inside were roasted into coke by high temperature before they had time to climb out.

Of course, this did not make the rebels optimistic, because it was just a tank. In the subsequent airborne, a large number of tanks and armored vehicles landed one after another. If you can see it just by your eyes, there were 17 tanks and more than 30 armored personnel carriers. The firepower formed by the heavy machine guns on the vehicle easily tore the rebels' front from the inside, causing chaos.
