Macho Wars

In an instant, the entire station fell into a sea of ​​flames, and the munitions piled up on the platform and the carriages full of ammunition were undoubtedly the best inflammable and explosive items.

The bombing formation circled the station two more times before swaggering away amid the curses of countless rebel soldiers.

This tactical bombing can be said to have made a good start. Afterwards, the rebels counted the losses on their own. In the station alone, more than 400 officers and soldiers were killed on the spot, and more than a thousand wounded.More than one-third of the ammunition reserves of the 11th Corps were reimbursed, especially for the heavy artillery regiments of their four divisions. There were not a few artillery pieces, but none of the artillery shells were left.This directly caused them to sit on the bench for a long time in the subsequent fortress offensive and defensive battles.

In the next few days, the Northwestern rebels fell into an unprecedented nightmare. The aviation team carried out multiple waves of tactical bombardment on them, and they were specially selected to attack the heavy forces. As long as they saw a fully loaded truck or mule and horse, it would not take long. There will be a dive bomber flying over, throwing a "iron tuo", or strafing for two rounds.

The rebel soldiers had to bite the bullet and march to the predetermined location when they completely lost their air superiority.And this also gave birth to a "good habit" that they developed in just one day, that is, whenever the special roar of an airplane engine sounded in the air, everyone would crawl and crawl into the roadside drain.

This miserable march lasted for nearly two days, and the 44th infantry division, the leader of the rebels, finally arrived at the scheduled staging area 20 kilometers north of the fortress of Dolo Mountain.

But waiting for them is the Armored Regiment of the First Marine Division, which has been waiting for a long time.Under the command of regimental commander Llano Stein, sixty tanks launched an offensive from the enemy's flank and plunged into the enemy's infantry sequence.

The unlucky 44th Division had previously exhausted their energy in the painful and forced march because of the military order forced by the upper peak.When I finally got to the place, before I could breathe evenly, I was tragically struck by groups of "wheels" riding my face.

The outlying sentry troops did not hold on for long before they were breached, causing chaos throughout the army.

However, the armored regiment didn't dare to play too much, so it took a little bit of money, so it chose to accept it when it was good, and threw down the bewildered enemy, and quickly evacuated the battlefield.

In the division headquarters of the fortress, Dragon soon received a telegram from Colonel Stein that the battle was successful.Up to now, the loss of the First Marine Division was negligible, while the rebels were devastated by them and the loss was quite heavy.

Such a sharp contrast made many people feel optimistic about this battle, but under the seemingly calm surface of Dragoon, he was not at all relaxed.

Although the air strikes achieved good results, the armored regiment was a wave of surprise attacks against the 44th division. However, for the northwestern rebels with hundreds of thousands of them, it was nothing more than skin trauma. The huge gap between the two sides was not How much to reduce.

As for Shangfeng’s military order, it was for them to block the enemy for 48 hours. This time should be counted from the beginning of the battle between the infantry on the two sides, and from the perspective of the poor transfer efficiency of rear personnel and materials, it would be necessary to "extra time" in nine out of ten. "The possibility.

The actual situation is just as Dragun expected. Although the northwestern rebels were as big as a fight and the morale of the soldiers was damaged by the air strikes, they did not defeat them.As the rebels arrived at the assembly point one after another, everyone on both sides of the enemy felt a strong sense of the approaching atmosphere.

Before the battle started, Dragon led people to the front line to inspect.The troops are almost ready, and the zheng and wei are boosting morale.Dragon had already told Keef in advance that when mobilizing soldiers before the war, try not to mention sensitive words such as loyalty and patriotism, and emphasize that the purpose of their battle is to protect civilians in the rear, so as not to make mistakes. Counter-effect.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the aviation team, they finally got enough preparation time. All the officers and soldiers of the division went into battle, using steel shovels and various construction machinery and equipment. It only took less than two days to dig out a dozen. Two lines of defense with a width of kilometers and a depth of three kilometers, criss-cross trenches are hundreds of kilometers long, and all three infantry regiments of the division are arranged on these two lines of defense.

In terms of terrain, the First Marine Division is still very advantageous. The only high ground in the entire plain is in their hands. The artillery regiment is deployed in the fortress, and its firepower is sufficient to cover the entire battlefield.The muddy ground in front of the position will become a nightmare for rebel infantry and armored troops!

Dragoon, who came to the front observation post, could already vaguely see the opposite rebel through the binoculars. The opponent was building a frontal position. It should be that he wanted to continue to dig through the earth work industry to shorten the attacking force's charge distance.

On the other side of the earth, this is a typical trench warfare during World War I, while the world on this side belongs to the more commonly used offensive tactics.

"Tafe, has the reconnaissance plane reported how the armored forces on the rebel side are deployed?"

"Yes, but it's basically scattered across the entire front. In addition, the intelligence department just sent the news that the commander opposite us is General Kharov."

"Harov? Is that the'Little Army God' Peterman Kharov? Isn't he from the aristocracy? Why did he run to support the prince?"

"This is not clear, the intelligence department will tell us this."

"Forget it, don't count on those guys. I knew they were useless."

Dragon shrugged. He could say that he had a deep understanding of how wasteful the empire's intelligence service was.At this time, a communications officer ran in and handed a telegram to him, saying that it had just been sent from the rebels.

Dragon opened it and found that it was Peterman Harov’s confession. The opponent strongly demanded that the First Marine Division immediately lay down its weapons and surrender, and pledge allegiance to the true King Sidney XV and His Majesty Filavi. Fight against the imperial emperor together.

Dragon was not cold with this official tone of persuasion, but what caught his attention was Kharov’s last sentence. He swore as the head of the empire to guarantee their personal safety after the surrender and allow Lu Zhan Yi Division plunged into his command to continue fighting.

When Dragon saw this, he immediately understood everything.

Chapter 435

The so-called "national head" is also the emperor's father-in-law!And no matter how many concubines the emperor admitted into the palace, this title will always belong to the queen's father alone.

And Peterman Harov, Dragon knew about it.

When Dragun was still in the Northwest Military Region, he was the lieutenant commander of the 11th Corps, because during the federal surprise attack, the short man was the big one, and he had a fairly good performance on the battlefield, so he was not only spared after the war. He was also promoted to general two years later and became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region. After Howard was transferred back to the center, he became the acting commander-in-chief of the military region.If it weren't for the death of the old emperor, he would be able to become a fuller at the end of the year.

However, the most talked about privately in the Northwest Military Region was the only daughter whom General Kharov regarded as a treasure.Because this princess, who is in her double tenth year, never shocked the world with her beautiful appearance, she only moved the world with her biceps!

This girl is a tall girl who has grown up since she was a child, and she loves to learn to wrestle. She is stronger than many men because of her tendons, which is daunting.

As a result, many middle and lower-level officers of the Northwest Military Region joked when they drank too much in private, that only gay men who like to be treated would be willing to marry the daughter of General Harov’s house.Marrying such a woman home as a wife is no longer a problem that can be solved simply by turning off the lights!

And it can be seen from this, how heavy "sacrifice" Filawi had paid to win Admiral Harov.

Regarding Kharov's persuasion, Dragon only thought for three seconds before making a decision. He twisted the telegram into a ball and threw it directly into the fire nearby.

"Want us to surrender and dream!"

A few hours later, the rebel regiment, which had not received any response, launched a full-scale attack on the position of the First Marine Division.

Kharov first mobilized all the artillery over 75mm on his hand, and blasted out the position of the First Marine Division.However, the seemingly fierce firepower hadn't lasted for ten minutes before it was directly weakened by a cliff.

This was all thanks to the previous bombings, which allowed the rebels' heavy-duty units that had travelled thousands of miles from the Northwest Military Region to reimburse more than 70% of their shell reserves before they left the station.The remaining cannonballs are divided equally, and each cannon can only be divided into less than three bases of ammunition, so naturally there is no way to shoot it happily!

In contrast, although there were not as many artillery pieces on the opposite side of the First Marine Division, the artillery shells were extremely abundant.As a third-line defensive facility, Doroshan Fortress, like many military fortresses during the non-war period, served as a large-scale arsenal. The underground warehouse has long-term storage of a large number of weapons and ammunition.

Although the garrison leader would secretly resell some military supplies on weekdays, at least he was not stupid enough to exchange large-caliber artillery shells for money.

Therefore, even if the difference in the number of artillery between the two sides was nearly seven times, as long as the first ten minutes of the fiercest battle on the Marine Division's side, the artillery could still fight.

Under the cover of their limited firepower, thousands of Northwestern rebel soldiers bravely jumped out of the trenches and rushed to the position of the First Marine Division, and behind them were two hundred vehicles scattered on the entire front. They will provide direct support firepower for the charging infantry, and will give priority to attacking machine gun positions and mortars.

The front line positions of the two sides are five to six hundred meters away. Under normal circumstances, the attacking party must at least rely on earthwork to dig into the front line of the defender to launch an infantry charge, but the rebels are in a hurry. He hoped to cut off the retreat of the Central Army as soon as possible, so Kharov, who was anxious to perform well in front of his future son-in-law, decided to attack early.

For a fully armed soldier, this charging distance can theoretically pass in only two minutes, provided that the road is level and there are not too many obstacles.

But in the attacking road before them, the ground was muddy and slippery, and there were also many metal repelling horses and barbed wire.Any soldier with a bit of military knowledge knows that these obstacles are not placed randomly. They will force the soldiers on the charge to hit the defending machine gun.

Overcome difficulties and fears with courage, and gain victory and glory with sacrifices!

Before the rebel soldiers charged forward, the leader of the army screamed hoarsely with a broken gong.Under this kind of incitement, the simple-minded young soldiers felt like they were omnipotent.

The veterans looked indifferent, unmoved by the encouragement of the officers.They just silently glanced at the cold-faced supervising team with machine guns not far behind them, and then prayed in their hearts for the blessing of the gods to keep the enemy's bullets as far away as possible.

The distance of five to six hundred meters was halfway through in a blink of an eye. The recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time all rushed to the forefront, while the veterans knew how to press the speed to save their energy until the final intercepted sprint. Let the stubbornly charged rookies run ahead.

But what makes people feel uncomfortable is that the defenders did not open fire, even though they ran across the center line of the battlefield.The veterans knew very well that relying solely on their own level of artillery fire was not enough to completely suppress the opponent in the trenches without raising their heads.

Soon, the leading force of the charge approached within a hundred meters, and they could clearly see the front of the trenches opposite and the raised machine gun forts.The lower-level officers who led the charge to command the assault immediately ordered the fire support team behind him to set up machine guns, and then madly output them at the shooting holes of the machine gun fort in order to form suppression.

Everything seemed to be going well. The defenders only had continuous shelling and sporadic machine gun shots. The charging rebels succeeded in breaking into the front-line trenches of the defenders at a cost of less than half of the loss. Imagination.

However, the moment the rebel soldiers jumped into the trenches without hesitation and were ready to fight in close quarters, the scene in front of them surprised everyone, and then turned into panic in less than a second, accompanied by blurting out. Swearing.

"Fuck mother! What the hell is digging the trench so deep!?"

There were no soldiers in the first-line trenches of the First Marine Division, and there was no traffic trench to the second-line positions in the rear.The entire trench is a solitary long trench that stretches for more than ten kilometers and has an average depth of nearly three meters.

Many of the rebel soldiers caught off guard had their ankles crippled at once, and then they were hit by other comrades who jumped in behind them.
