When Dongshi found Zhang Zhilie, the major battalion commander was telling the attack on the 3rd Company's army.

Serving.

"Go and prepare immediately. After the chain is removed, you will go up.

Several company platoon leaders immediately picked up their weapons, nodded to Li Dongshi who was walking over, and returned to the company's garrison. According to unwritten rules, no one is allowed to salute the superior officer as long as they are on the battlefield, because no one can guarantee whether there are enemy snipers nearby.

"How is the situation?" Li Dongshi said as he took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Zhang

chess.

"It's very bad. It's only less than 500 meters." Zhang Zhiqi quickly disassembled the cigarette. He lit one and said, "The Indian army is very tenacious. Especially half an hour ago, it seemed to have taken drugs, and they all became unafraid of death. Before you came, I sent away more than a dozen wounded soldiers. Fortunately, only seven soldiers and one officer were killed. Most of the wounded were not in serious condition and were not in danger of life."

Li Dongshi frowned slightly and looked at the city.

"What's even more terrible is that we have to wait until the civilians withdraw before launching an attack."

"Why wait for civilians to withdraw?"

"The order issued by the above

"Who issued the order?" Li Dongshi glanced at Zhang Zhiqi.

"Who else can it be?" Zhang Zhiqi smiled bitterly and said, "The order issued by the front point is saying that there is a war correspondent group interviewing on the front line and broadcasting it to the whole world."

"We have a press gang here?"

Thug No, at least I haven't seen the reporter

"Then what are you afraid of?" Li Dongshi breathed a sigh of relief, "Transfer my order and resume the attack immediately. Damn, A San's life is important, or the life of a warrior is important?"

"It was the order I issued, and I will bear the responsibility." Li Dongshi glanced at his watch and said. "Just just received the news that all the Indian troops in the nearby areas were coming to us. Although the front commander had agreed to provide full support, there was not much time left for us. If we could not conquer Lanqi before dark, we would be attacked from both sides, and by then more than 4,000 soldiers would be finished.

Zhang Zhihai widened his eyes and almost jumped up. "All the Indian troops are here to deal with us?"

Li Dongshi nodded and said, "Optimistic estimate. There are at least 100,000."

"Damn it, 4,000 to 100,000 yuan, this is too polite to us. We won't send reinforcements without sending reinforcements, right?"

"Reinforcement troops? Li Dongshi paused for a moment and said, "Don't think about it for the time being, the front line is very tight. I heard that the battles on the 3rd Brigade of the Guest are even more tragic. Even if you want to send reinforcements, you won't send them to us."

“Aren’t we humans?”

"Stop complaining. Go and arrange an offensive operation immediately." Li Dongshi patted Zhang Zhiqi on the shoulder. "I'll stay here and wait for you to hit the city center and send 4 joys up.

"Old Li. You take care of me so much."

Li Dongshi smiled, knowing that Zhang Zhiqi was talking nonsense, so he didn't care much about his old subordinates.

Queen of the Bell and Zhang Zhiqi personally directed the 3rd company to launch an attack.

With Li Dongshi's order, Zhang Zhiqi changed the tactics of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Company. Although the Indian army hiding in the building can cause great trouble to the offensive troops, there is a prerequisite, that is, the offensive troops will compete with the Indian army to fight for the house. As long as the Indian army does not compete for the building, the Indian army's defense tactics will not have much effect.

Fortunately, Ranchi is not a metropolis. The underground pipelines and underground transportation systems are not well developed.

During the attack of the 3rd Company, Zhang Zhihuan transferred the engineer platoon and drew several soldiers who knew blasting skills from the other two companies.

The offensive tactic is very simple. First, use individual radar to scan the building. Whenever there are active personnel in the building, use airborne tanks to suppress the windows of the building. Or use individual weapons to destroy the rooms facing the building and finally use blasting equipment, or ammunition with blasting effects to destroy the building.

Li Dongshi's purpose was to eliminate the Lanqi defenders, rather than preserve a complete city.

As long as the defenders were able to be eliminated, even if Ranchi turned into a pile of rubble, there would be no laughing system.

Seeing the dust rising in the city and hearing the sound of explosions. Li Dongshi knew that Zhang Zhiqi had chosen the right tactic.

After the 2nd Company and 4th Company were prepared to replace the 3rd Company, Li Dongshi asked the guards to contact the brigade headquarters, and then contacted the front line command through the brigade, requiring an airdrop operation to be arranged immediately for the airborne defense brigade. It was provided with combat supplies including blasting devices and blasting ammunition for the airborne drowning brigade. Li Dongshi did not forget the more important thing, that is, to provide engineering equipment for the airborne thugs and marsh brigade as soon as possible to build defensive positions.

It has to be admitted that because the time was too hasty, when fighting against Jiang Fa's thugs' brigade's combat plan, the staff at the front line command believed that after the airborne nephew brigade occupied Lanchi, they could use the Indian army in Lanchi's urban area to resist the counterattack, but they did not consider the difficulty of attacking Lanchi, and they did not expect that the airborne brigade would occupy Lanchi by destroying Mao Keng.

Although defensive wars can also be fought on the ruins of the city, Lanqi does not have a complex underground pipeline network and cannot provide effective support for the defensive forces. Faced with the old Wan army, the airborne thugs, Shaobao must build enough underground fortifications that allow the four four officers and soldiers to hide as soon as possible, and must obtain sufficient engineering equipment.

Fortunately, the airborne troops have never lacked engineering equipment for the construction of underground fortifications.

As early as the Five Old Blocking Battle of the Peninsula War, the airborne brigade used portable engineering equipment to repair the defensive positions one night, creating a miracle that stunned the US military. If the defensive positions were not built in time, the airborne brigade would not have been able to hold on in front of two US Marine Divisions.

Since Pei Chengyi has made a promise, the front-line command naturally meets all the requirements for the airborne prison brigade.

The transport fleet composed of thugs Shao dropped 3 tons of combat supplies over Lanqi, including at least red-stewed high-energy explosives and combined tons of blasting ammunition.

At this time, Li Dongshi had already replaced the thug with the Dizhanbi Camp. The nephew camp sent up and divided the Lanqi city into three parts. In addition to the northern urban area that had been captured, the stairs battle camp divided the southeast urban area and the southwest urban area.

Li Dongshi did not interfere too much in the front line battle, but only asked the troops not to worry too much.

The old point blade is divided, and the second round of airdrop begins.

The strong racking little thug: The brigade's position has dropped multiple sets of portable engineering equipment and a set of power supply modules that provide electricity for portable engineering equipment.

The so-called "power supply module." is not a power generation equipment that relies on fusion reactors. It is a high-energy battery that is pieced together with composite batteries. It is suitable for use on frontline positions with simple conditions and no safety guarantees. Of course, if necessary, the power supply module can also provide electricity for airborne combat vehicles.

Although the battle in the city has not yet ended, Li Dongshi can no longer wait.

Airborne thugs were an independent engineer platoon. They were also assisting the combat troops in the front line to eliminate the Indian army. Li Dongshi could only mobilize the troops that had been withdrawn and rested, so that the combat troops could participate in the construction of the positions.

This is not a difficult task, and all airborne troops know how to build positions.

While the airborne troops were busy building defensive positions, the periphery blocking war reached its climax.

After Gujarad adjusted his combat deployment, only the thugs of the six Indian infantry divisions around Ranchi were second-line divisions. The other ones were all reserve divisions formed by the Gangwang immediately set off to kill Ranchi. Pei Chengyi adjusted his air force very promptly. When Li Dongshi sent scouts, two brigades said that Xiaomao Brigade provided air support.

Throughout the afternoon, the Air Force dispatched several tactical fighter jets and threw more than four tons of bombs at the Indian army.

The Air Force has done its best so hard that the Army Air Force, which is closely related to the airborne troops, is naturally unwilling to fall behind. Within 3 hours from the old point to the mouth point, the Land Air Force's dispatch of the remaining targets is the same as that of the Tactical Air Force. Although the ammunition drop of the Army Air Force's attack aircraft group is not as high as that of the tactical aviation forces, they are all active at ultra-low altitudes and launched attacks visually. The strike efficiency is much higher than that of the tactical fighter jets that drop bombs at a height of thousands of meters. Sometimes, with the cooperation of the scouts, they can even eliminate the small Indian troops infiltrated from the mountain path. More importantly, the fire support provided by Luan has a certain degree of sustained suppression of the attacking Indian army, rather than dropping bombs and returning. It has more effectively delayed the Indian army's advance speed.

. Compared with tactical aviation, another advantage of the "low-altitude attack aircraft in the Land Aviation" is its excellent tactical deployment capability. Due to the limitations of air-geography conditions and ground-flight support capabilities, the tactical aviation base is concentrated in the Shannan region. There are only three front-line bases in Nepal and Bangladesh, with an average combat radius of about kilometers. Because the west has vertical take-off and landing capabilities, the requirements for ground-flight support are very low, and it can be deployed at field airports. If the bomb load is appropriately reduced, the requirements can be further reduced. Only one piece of air-flight attack aircraft can be deployed in front, with an average combat radius of about kilometers. The short combat radius is reduced. The ground-flight maintenance level is equivalent to improving combat efficiency and enhancing the dispatching capacity of combat troops.

In the combat operations supporting the airborne thugs, Nubus, Lu Airlines showed extremely powerful battlefield support capabilities.

Before the evening, the naval carrier-based aviation force also joined the air support ranks and took on the combat mission to block the Indian army in the south of Ranchi.

It is just compared with the support forces that participated in the final battle. Whether it is the tactical aviation force of the Air Force, the low-altitude attack aircraft of the Land Aviation, or the carrier-based aviation force of the HNA, they all seem to be incomparable.

At night, the fleet that arrived at the waters west of the Ganges River estuary entered the battle.

The Guchuan cruiser and Mi destroyer who obtained ammunition supplies threw Yukou stewed shells at the Indian army assembly site near Ranchi within ten thousand minutes. The dense barrage covered three Indian army assembly sites back and forth three times. According to information obtained from the Indian army after the war, in this month of continuous artillery attack, among the nearly 60,000 Indian officers and soldiers who were preparing to attack Ranchi, the Guayu people were killed, the Guayu people were injured, and about the famous officers and soldiers of Watian were missing. In other words, the Zhao warship used 60 electric cannons to destroy two-thirds of the Indian army within minutes.

You should know that the air strikes that lasted for several hours before this could not only eliminate the Ming and Indian Army.

What is even more daunting is that after the continuous shelling, the fleet's artillery fire continued intermittently for an hour. It was not until No. 1 made a clever decision that it ended because the ammunition was exhausted.

During the airborne thugs, the troops responsible for the offensive not only used the air support fleet provided by the Army Aviation to take on the offense mission, but the Army Aviation switched to bomb Lanqi and wiped out the remaining Indian troops in the Lanqi city area. The three battalions commanded by Li Dongshi himself also built a circular defensive position in Lanqibei.

Most importantly, the transport fleet sent a large amount of first aid medicines and remote remote-controlled surgical equipment to the field hospital of the airborne thug at night.

Judging from the entire battle situation, in order to support the airborne, the combat operations in other aspects were affected.

The air force's tactical support capabilities were already very tight. Before the war started, three tactical aviation brigades were drawn to carry out combat missions to find Indian Army missile launchers. As a result, the support provided to the airborne return brigade was increased by 2 times, which would naturally affect combat operations in other directions. Not to mention anything else, the ark army had to slow down its advancement in the afternoon and use its own artillery fire to solve the problems caused by the reduction of air support.

The impact of adjusting the combat arrangements of the land aviation was even more serious. If the vanguard of the sword army had not captured Alaria, and the threats of Jorgbeni were removed, they would have crossed the Arun River in Sehelsa 4 hours in advance and originated from the Ganges tributary of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The vanguard of the reconnaissance battalion arrived at Darchanga, otherwise the Air Turkish Brigade, which had been removed from the land aviation support force, would have to ask for help from the front line command at night. The Air Turkish thug, who served as the reserve team, was also

The support sent to the direction of Ranchi was very limited. More importantly, in the absence of land aviation support, the Airbureau 2nd Brigade that captured Bahamampur and the Airbureau brigade that captured Padbala had to move from attack to defense in the afternoon of the same day, waiting for ground reinforcements. If it were not for the Third Army of the Bei Army, the entire line was retreating to Kolkata. Pei Chengyi would be very likely to let the Jiujun cross the border line and support the air commando forces defending the military fortress behind the enemy in the afternoon of the same day.

The biggest impact of the fleet adjustment operation was that it failed to prevent the Third Indian Army from retreating to Kolkata. According to Pei Chengyi's initial plan, the carrier-based aviation and fleets will attack Kolkata, forcing the Indian Army to abandon Kolkata. Then, the air assault forces occupying Padbala attack Kolkata and finally occupy the Port of Canning. Obtain the most direct and convenient supply channels. With the fleet's strike ability, it is not difficult to complete the task. As a result, when it is necessary to support airborne! Shao Brigade, the fleet could only watch the combat troops of the Third Indian Army arrive in Kolkata one after another, and then drove out of Kolkata one after another and embarked on the road to Ranchi.

Concentrating its efforts to support the airborne thugs Shaoguo became the first controversial tactical decision after the general offensive on the Eastern Front.

On the first day of the total, the tactical aviation force was dispatched, the army aviation force and the thugs were involved in combat brigades. It seemed difficult for many people to understand. In the eyes of some Western military commentators, no matter how important Lanchi's battle is, nearly one-third of the long-range support force should not be used.

Whether to use so much support force is not decided by Pei Chengyi, but by the importance of Ranchi.

As the battle situation developed, the Third Indian Army began to break through, and those who accused Pei Chengyi gradually shut up. The facts finally proved that Pei Chengyi's tactical decision was correct.

In Li Dongshi's eyes, the support force does not go too much, but goes too little.

In the early morning of the day, various support forces gradually decreased. Scouts carrying out peripheral reconnaissance missions sent a message that the Indian army, which had just been defeated, began to assemble again.

There is no doubt that the Indian army was determined to conquer Lanqi.

After reaching this point, Li Dongshi was embarrassed to ask for support.

After letting the three battalions responsible for building the defensive positions enter the state of combat, Li Dongshi placed the three battalions responsible for sweeping the Lanqi urban area behind the position and acted as a tactical reserve. In order to consolidate the rear, that is, the southern defense line, Li Dongshi mobilized the guard company and the engineering platoon, and buried all the remaining explosives in the Lanqi urban area. The colonel brigade commander's idea was very simple, first withstand the strong enemy in the north. If the Indian army bypassed the airborne thug, the Nu Brigade's defensive position, launched an attack from the south, and used the "mine array to hold back the Indian army's progress, try to kill and injure the Indian army's biological forces, and fight a blocking war in the city. Only when it was forced to do so, would the defense line be reduced and the waiting for assistance were held.

How long can you defend cannot be determined by frontal combat, but by the flanks and rear defense lines.

Li Dongshi participated in two position defense battles, and also served as a field officer in the Five Old Blocking Battle. Although he did not think that the airborne soldiers were born as masters in defense battles, his defensive combat experience proved that the airborne soldiers were indeed experts in defense battles.

After deploying the defense line, Li Dongshi followed the convention and visited the positions of each combat unit.

The officers and soldiers were very motivated and their morale was strong. Food, drinking and water were not a problem. The minor wounded were also given an additional nutritional dinner. The biggest problem was that almost all officers and soldiers were exhausted, and cigarette butts could be seen everywhere on the positions. The cooking squads of each battalion prepared the most notes, but black coffee and strong tea. From the time when the thugs started to prepare for the battle day and night, the officers and soldiers of the brigade had not closed their eyes for a day and a night. After experiencing fierce battles during the day, no matter how strong a person was, he would be tired to climb down.

Li Dongshi was powerless to do this problem. All he could do was to acquiesce the officers and soldiers to fight for a while.

In fact, Li Dongshi was also very tired. But he didn't show it. In the minds of the officers and soldiers, the brigade commander was the strongest soldier who would never complain about being tired.

Back at the command center, Li Dongshi smoked a cigarette outside the tunnel.

When Li Dongshi heard the laughter coming from the tunnel, he jumped a few times. Needless to say, the two female military doctors were making the staff happy.
