Macho Wars

"Yes, Lord Admiral."

Since the Northwest Army and the First Marine Division have fought, it’s not that Kharov didn’t want to get around this tough stubble, but the Doro Mountain Fortress is the gateway to the north of the Central Province. Roads and railways are gathered nearby. It takes a lot of time to detour.

As for the 71st division at the rear, what is the combat effectiveness of this group of guys? Harov is not good to comment, but they built their position behind the Dolo Mountain Fortress, backed by a large virgin forest. The Northwest Army is indeed very difficult to reach. Against them.Therefore, when Sneek proposed to attack the 71st Division first, Harov subconsciously thought he had not seen the map.

"General Snake, the 71st Division is behind the fortress. If we put the first division on the landing and attack them first, it would be easy to be flanked."

"Of course I know, so I plan to let my troops go."

"Your troops?"

"General, you should know that my 52nd Division is a mountain force. Mountain climbing and forest drilling are our strengths. Since the 71st Division is backed by the forest, I will give them a surprise."

Sneek had already conceived a joint combat plan on his way here. The Northwest Army continued to attack the fortress frontally and restrained the attention of the First Marine Division. The 52nd Division gave full play to its expertise and crossed the eastern forest to make surprise attacks. division.

Sneek’s 52nd Division is one of the only three mountain divisions in the Empire. It has good individual equipment and training, but not many heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks.The entire division has only one light tank battalion, and it is not equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery. Instead, large-caliber mortars and lightweight medium-caliber mountain cannons are used.

It is worth mentioning that the 52nd Division is also equipped with about 1,500 mules and horses, specially used for mountain transportation, and this also makes them sometimes look like second and third line troops.

In the past year, Snake, the "Dragon Chef", while frantically studying his tactical thinking, also directly copied the Marine Corps training model, and carried out a deep transformation of the entire 52 division. The individual combat literacy is obvious. improve.Directly against the original Marine Division 1 is worthwhile, and it is easier to beat a 71st division.

He had already studied the map, and with the capabilities of the 52nd Division, they were fully capable of avoiding the first Marine Division at the forefront, and the whole division quietly walked around from the forest side in a light outfit.It is estimated that it will take only twelve hours to reach the flank of the 71st division and wait until dark before launching an offensive to defeat the opponent within two hours.

Sneek’s confidence is not only because of his trust in the combat effectiveness of his troops, but also because he also knows very well about the man Banning Roswell, the commander of the 71st Division. He knows that this man is an embroidered pillow. .

In terms of age, the 47-year-old Snake is ten years older than Roswell, but the students of the general class are still living in the same dormitory.

When the two met for the first time, Sneek saw that each other was young and entered the Imperial Generals squad in his early thirties. He was also personable and showed good aristocratic etiquette. He was calm and confident, thinking that this person was a man. A great young talent, so his attitude is very humble.

But after getting along for a while, I found that the other party seemed to be full of confidence and often talked about in front of others. In fact, military talents can only be described as ordinary.But this person is slick. Only one week after he was selected, he had a clear understanding of the personal preferences of the main leaders of the Central Military Academy. He also drew a group of students from the same period and formed a small group. , In the Central Military Academy, there is wind and water.

Sneek didn't have much distaste for this kind of human spirit, at best, he would stay away, but this guy always came to win him when he had nothing to do, hoping that Sneek would join his faction and fight against other people. , This made Snake, who just wanted to study hard, got more and more bored of him. The two finally had a big fight, and the trouble was unhappy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sneek is ready to teach his "old classmate" a good lesson. You can't win a war by just slipping your beard and patting horses!

After receiving a large amount of shell support, the Northwest Army's combat power was supplemented, and the offensive on the second day suddenly became fierce.It was as if they were trying to replenish the artillery they had fired less in the previous two days. Several artillery regiments bombarded the position of the First Division of Landing War.In order to suppress the opponent's artillery, the First Marine Division did not hesitate to call for air support.

After the fighter took off from the field airport, it quickly leaped over the position of the 71st Division and went straight to the fighting area. In the forest on the west side of the position of the 71st Division, thousands of soldiers in green camouflage cloth were leading horses through the woods. between.

Hearing the familiar roar, Sneek looked up, his gaze seemed to penetrate the dense canopy of the tree above his head and saw a large group of "iron eagles" soaring into the sky.

Snake couldn't help feeling in his heart that if it were not for the time limit, he would still like to copy the routine of the last exercise and organize another elite soldier to steal the airport.

At this moment, Sneek's adjutant came over and reported to him.

"General, our department has reached the predetermined position."

"Notify the troops, act according to the original plan, we will start the offensive after nightfall!"

Chapter 442

On the front line of the Doroshan Fortress, as the artillery of the northwestern rebels was resurrected with full blood, it was convenient for them to continuously pour artillery shells into the fortress and surrounding positions.

The environment inside the fortress deteriorated rapidly. Although the shelling was not enough to break the strong reinforced concrete walls of the fortress, the vibration caused a lot of dust to shake off the ceiling, causing the indoor air to be extremely turbid. Wear a mask to avoid sucking dust into your lungs.

Even in such an environment, Dragoon, who is in the headquarters, has always maintained a calm response, but the current situation is really hard to be optimistic.

The First Marine Division has been fighting the Northwest Army for three days and two nights. Although it has wiped out more than 10,000 enemies, its own losses are not low. The exchange ratio between the two sides is around 1:3.

In this situation, the superiors repeatedly asked them to continue to persist, from the first two days forty-eight hours to three days and seventy-two hours, and now it has further increased to four days.Thanks to the last notice, Howard called in himself, clearly telling Dragon to let them evacuate the fortress in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and clearly arranged the time, route, and response forces.

After the battles of the past few days, in terms of combat intensity, it is actually not much stronger than when it was in the Far East, but the psychological test for officers and soldiers is unprecedented.

Because their opponent is not a powerful foreign enemy, but a national army wearing the same uniform.Many of the veterans who survived tenaciously in the Far East battlefield, eventually fell under their own guns.

Although Dragon didn't say anything, he was full of guilt for these old men who had accompanied him for many years.

Regardless of feelings and just talking about reason, this civil war was originally caused by the abolition of the elders and the young. In order to control the government, the central aristocratic group headed by the Senate did not hesitate to use the imperial edict to establish the underage 19th prince ascended the throne. The other princes who were provoked were angry and joined forces to force the palace.

It is reasonable and reasonable, and Firavi can be said, and the subsequent purge can also be said to be decisive. Therefore, if Dragon chooses himself, refuge in Firavi is undoubtedly the best option at the moment, but frustratingly, one The series of mistakes caused him and his troops to fire the first shot of the civil war, and his wife and children were also controlled by the central faction.

This made Dragon full of apprehensions and had to take his troops to fight the rebels.

When Dragoon thought of doing this by himself, it was almost equivalent to using the lives of his brothers to protect the safety of his wife and daughter in the family, and his guilt grew spontaneously.

However, this is the end of the matter, and nothing more is useless.

Fortunately, this tragic blocking battle is coming to an end. According to the last telegram sent by the headquarters, the main force of the central government fought a small victory in the Baixi River in the imperial capital, successfully defeating the momentum of the rebels pursuing troops. Forcing them to hold off.

The main force used this opportunity to quickly leave the front and retreat to the second line of defense that is being constructed in the rear.When they walked near the Fortress of Douro, the First Marine Division and the 71st Division could alternately cover and withdraw from the battlefield, and there would be an 89th Division in the rear to meet them.

If all goes well, in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, Dragoon can return to Horn Harbor to reunite with his wife and daughter after a long absence.

Thinking of the missed wife and child, Dragoon, who hadn't closed his eyes for nearly forty-eight hours, couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.But at this moment, a signal soldier suddenly changed his face and hurriedly got up and came to Dragoon, and whispered.

"General, there is a call from the field airport in the rear. The air force that has just executed an air strike was on the way back and found signs of large-scale fighting on the position of the 71st Division."

"The 71st division, who are they fighting with?"

"We are trying to confirm with the 71st Division, but the other party did not reply."

"Continue to ask...no! Let the air force send a reconnaissance plane to fly over to confirm."

After explaining the order to his men, Dragun turned his head to the big map marked with the position of the 71st division.The opponent is located nine kilometers behind them. The original intention of Shangfeng was to ask them to support the First Marine Division, but Roswell did not deploy his troops at the position required by his superiors. Instead, the actual terrain deviated from the map. For this reason, the main position was moved westward.

This turned the two divisions that were supposed to be fighting side by side into a one-to-one arrangement. As long as the Northwestern Rebels did not kill the first Marine Division in front, it would be difficult for them to launch a full offensive against the main position of the 71st Division.

Regarding Roswell's nasty thoughts, Dragon sneered at it, but the current situation is urgent and there is no time to care about this grandson.In the end, I didn't expect that Ah's shrank back to be a tortoise, and it turned out to be a problem before the Marine Division I was in front.

Soon, the reconnaissance plane dispatched by the field airport brought information about the 71st division to Dragon, and firefights were taking place everywhere in their entire position.Even in the dark, looking down from the sky is full of flames, and it is clear that the enemy forces have penetrated into the position.

Upon learning of this news, Dragon's entire face became gloomy, because judging from the situation reported by the reconnaissance aircraft, the 71st division was already in chaos, and it was only a matter of time before the defeat.Once they are defeated, not only the field airport is in danger, but the connection between the Dolo Mountain Fortress and the rear will also be severed, and the evacuation plan will be in vain.

Dragon is willing to rescue, but he is currently fighting with the main force of the Northwest Army. Dragon has no spare reserve team on hand and can return to help. The 71st division can be beaten in a mess, and the entire position is on the whole line. In the exchange of fire, it is obvious that the enemy forces that attacked them were at least a large unit at the division and brigade level.

In desperation, Dragon had no choice but to give up the plan of rescue, and at the same time ordered the field airport to be transferred immediately. Without the 71 division as a barrier, the field airport with only one infantry battalion as a defensive force would be very fragile and could easily be affected by the enemy. The army broke.

And I don't know why, Dragoon was a little familiar with the opponent's surprise attack on the 71st division, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

An hour later, Dragon finally received the definite news from the 71st Division. The opponent was attacked by a division-level unit. The opponent suddenly shot out from the forest to the east. They were caught off guard. The right-wing position soon Be broken.

I don’t know if it was Roswell’s intention, or if his command had been taken away by the enemy in the first round of strikes. It was not until they gave up their positions to retreat, and then remembered to give the first Marine Division to the fortress. Send a telegram reminder.

If it wasn't for the reconnaissance plane of the Air Force who accidentally noticed that they were fighting, Dragon would be kept in the dark, and would not know that his back was cut off!

Chapter 443

Sneek fulfilled his promise, his 52nd Division only took two hours to completely defeat the 71st Division.Roswell thought he could sit back and relax by hiding behind the First Marine Division, tightening the position outside and loosening it inside. The side facing the forest was extremely defensive. Therefore, when the 52nd Division made a full raid, they were defenseless. .
