Chapter 20: Assault Battalion! Advance! (2)
The Red Army, which was close to 250,000 troops, was difficult to mobilize a complete force at this time. As a result, the headquarters had to draw reserves from each division and army to respond. The 319th Regiment and the Assault Battalion entrenched in the 2918 area were naturally selected.
"Order: The assault battalion temporarily belongs to the 319th Regiment and heads to the 1793 area to rescue the 39th Division of the National Defense Forces."
As soon as he received the order, the assault battalion and the 319th Regiment, which were ready to go, drove the entire army to attack the 1793 area that was being ravaged by the Blue Army airborne troops.
Although in Ye Xiao's "previous life", the Empire was left behind by the Japanese Alliance for tactical reasons, the Imperial Army's terrifying mobility has always been recognized and valued by all countries!
Even if the railway is not borrowed, the imperial magic mechanized troops have the ability to march more than 400 kilometers per day and maintain combat effectiveness. After all, the army's high maneuverability has always been valued by the empire, and its strong transportation ability has always been the pride of the empire.
The straight-line distance between the 2918 area and the 1793 area on the map is 390 kilometers, but the marching distance is nearly 500 kilometers. If you just rush over all the way, the 319th Regiment can complete the task in less than ten hours. However, because you have to fight the Blue Airborne after arriving at the destination, the 319th Regiment will take at least fifteen hours to arrive and enter the battle.
The headquarters gave a 17-hour limit - this is more than enough for the 319th Regiment, but Qiu Yun didn't think so. He said to Colonel Zhou Kai, the leader of the 319th Regiment:
"Sir, the rescue is like putting out a fire! Since the Blue Army has invested three airborne divisions to attack our right wing, it is impossible for the front line to be silent, and there will be heavy attacks. Once the Blue Army breaks through the defense line, our right wing will inevitably collapse on the whole line! Time is tight, so I suggest that our troops be the vanguard to go to the battlefield as fast as possible. At this time, even if one minute earlier, our army will have an additional chance of victory!"
After several days of joint training with the Assault Battalion, Zhou Kai has a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Assault Battalion. After all, half of his regiment was topped by the entire Assault Battalion, and its tactics were also very novel, and its equipment was extremely targeted. After a little thought, Colonel Zhou Kai said:
"Okay, your headquarters will serve as the vanguard and go to the battlefield as fast as possible. In addition, I will send the 2nd Battalion to follow your headquarters!" The 2nd Battalion of the 319th Regiment is an armored infantry battalion and belongs to a high-mobile unit. Although it is far less than an assault battalion with special arsenal services when swapping equipment, it just happens to be incompatible with the assault battalion, which can make up for the shortcomings of the assault battalion's weak offensive power.
After strengthening the 2nd Battalion, the troops were approaching a regiment.
"Thank you, sir!" Qiu Yun did not refuse and accepted Colonel Zhou Kai's kindness - of course, to a large extent, it was Colonel Zhou Kai's trust in the combat effectiveness of the assault battalion. During the joint training period, the war ideas of the assault battalion did not keep Colonel Zhou Kai secret. After understanding this, the colonel of the National Defense Forces had a positive attitude towards the model of the assault battalion.
During the high-speed marching, the assault battalion sent a communication application to the garrison in the 1793 area through the division headquarters, requesting the garrison to share information. As a result, the 139th Division of the garrison in the 1793 area did not care about the excessive requirements of the assault battalion.
In the words of the commander of the 139th Division, why should I listen to the orders of a young major?
"Damn it!!"
After receiving feedback from the division headquarters, Zheng Yingqi was so angry that he cursed, "I'm here to save him, and he's still pretending to be a stinking air on me?"
Qiuyun shrugged in the command car, and was also helpless.
Only after contacting the communication system of the assault battalion can we realize the importance of information sharing - in fact, the importance of information sharing on the battlefield was proposed many years ago? But there is no complete integrated system. On the battlefield where the situation changes by one hour, which command center has the idle person who keeps transmitting the situation?
"What is the latest battle report in the 1793 area issued by the headquarters?" Ye Xiao was not confused, but asked.
An advisor immediately said: "The Blue Army Airborne launched an attack on the 498th Regiment in Area 2. According to the report of the 139th Division, the 498th Regiment can last for up to six hours! If the 498th Regiment is defeated, the Blue Army Airborne will threaten the 499th Regiment in Area 4 and the division headquarters in Area 6. At the same time, the defense line of the 139th Division in Area 1793 will be cut off in half. Once Area 7 is captured by the Blue Army armored troops, the 139th Division will face the fate of being completely wiped out, and the entire right wing may also be divided!"
"Go directly to Area 6!" Qiu Yun gave an order after a moment of thought. The 139th Division is a regular division, with huge direct forces in the division headquarters. With the reserve team, even if it is fought against the Blue Army airborne troops, it can persist until reinforcements arrive. However, once the 499th Regiment is attacked on both sides, it will only take a few hours to fail.
...
Area 1793, 498 Regiment Headquarters.
"The regiment seat, the 913 Highland was lost! The Blue Airborne captured the 913 Highland, and the 2nd Battalion was divided!" The staff report.
Colonel Han Yue, the leader of the 498th Regiment, was stunned. Unexpectedly, the 913 Highland, which had high hopes, only lasted for less than an hour. If this continues, let alone six hours, even four hours, the 498th Regiment cannot withstand it!
"Catch Wang Mazi!" Han Yue was angry. After the staff officer connected with Major Wang Wei, the second battalion tent, Han Yue angrily scolded: "Wang Mazi, what the hell are you doing! How could a 913 who strengthened the company garrison be contributed in less than an hour? How did you give me the guarantee!"
"The firepower of the Blue Airborne troops is too strong. They have too many dragon-driven light armored vehicles! Our unit lacks anti-armor weapons! The regiment, give me a cannon company, and I will take people back 913 now!" Major Wang Wei promised.
"You're just a big fuck! 913 is lost, you are just a target. Bring me all the people back. I'll let the guard company come to pick you up! I guaranteed the six hours for the teacher. Wang Mazi, if you can't handle it for 6 hours, I'll get out of your battalion commander!" Colonel Han Yue roared.
"yes!"
Han Yue had just finished his conversation with the 2nd Battalion, but unexpectedly, bad news came one after another. First, the 1st Battalion was broken through the defense line, and then the 3rd Battalion was attacked by Lante. The entire battalion lost its command organization and became a mess.
"Han Yue! 6 hours, no minute can be lost! I have no soldiers to send you, I just want the result!" The news reached the division headquarters, and the commander of the 139th Division immediately called back and scolded him.
"Tell the entire regiment that if you last less than 6 hours, the entire regiment will retrain the recruits battalion!" Colonel Han Yue gave a dead order, and then ignored the command center and joined the blocking array with the remaining guard platoon and logistics personnel.
Despite this, facing the Blue Army troops airborne with a large number of light armored vehicles, it still took only four hours to break through the defense line of the 498th Regiment. Although the 498th Regiment fought to the end and the entire regiment was almost wiped out, it still did not complete the order to hold on for 6 hours.
The Blue Army Airborne Forces, which broke through the defense line of the 498th Regiment, rushed to the 499th Regiment's base. Once the defense line of the 499th Regiment and the airborne forces that merged with the armored forces, will completely end the situation of fighting alone. At that time, the entire Red Army's right wing will tremble under the threat of the Blue Army's military front and will be successfully divided by the Blue Army.
