Gong Mu arrived. After the fourth attack of the Indian army's central force, Kong and Zhan defended the defensive positions.

The battle during the day was very fierce. The first thug Zhao camp suffered more than half of the casualties. Even Zhang Zhiqi was labeled. A thick bandage was wrapped on his left arm. If the guards had not followed closely and responded in time, Li Dongshi would have to give Di Tang camp and several non-combat troops no significant loss in combat effectiveness.

Back on the position, Li Dongshi immediately contacted the front line command center.

Air support is meaningless. The Indian army controlled the city of Lanqi. Even if it carried out large-scale bombing, it could only delay the attack on the Indian army's airborne thugs. The brigade mainly deals with threats from the north and now it must deal with threats from all directions, especially from the south. Compared with air support, Li Dongshi hopes that the front line command will send a few aircraft. If you don't say a word, you will pick up the seriously injured people who cannot continue to fight, and send some urgently needed supplies from the airborne nephew brigade. The reply from the front line command disappointed Li Dongshi because the Indian army

The main force has a mobile air defense system. Therefore, before completing air defense suppression, it is not only unable to airdrop combat supplies for the airborne European brigade, but also unable to send Dianyiji to pick up the seriously injured. The front-line command did not refuse another request, promising to bomb the Indian army entrenched in the city of Lanchi at night, so that the airborne Japanese brigade can get a chance to breathe. In fact, even if Li Dongshi did not ask for air support, the front-line command would bomb the urban area of ​​Lanchi, because all the Indian army's mobile air defense systems that the Air Force focused on attacking were deployed in the city.

The front-line command did what it said, and when Li Dongshi put down the microphone, the first round of bombing began.

Amid the dense explosion, Li Dongshi called all the battalion commanders, including the battalion commanders of the non-combat battalion. Before deploying the defense mission, Li Dongshi asked all non-combattalion personnel except medical personnel and artillery to collect guns and ammunition and act as a reserve team for the combat battalion. Because the casualties were close to each other, Deng Yiwa took away the wounded but did not transport the injured. So Li Dongshi didn't have to worry about not being able to find the guns and ammunition used to arm the non-combattalion.

.The main mobilization targets are the logistics battalions and the officers and soldiers of the logistics companies of each combat battalion. No one complains that "non-combatants" are just popular names, and no one in the airborne troops is a non-combatants. The difference between the so-called "combatants" and "non-combatants" is only the use of weapons to fight the enemy, or the use of tools to assist comrades in fighting with the enemy. Even in daily scraping training, the logistics personnel of the airborne troops must undergo the strictest combat training.

Only after mobilizing the "reserve team" did Li Dongshi reschedule the defense mission.

The thug: The Pea Battalion is responsible for the defense mission to the south of the position. The two battalions take turns to fight, ensuring that at least one battalion remains behind the defense line and cannot be pressed up at the same time.

The thug, Maying was left behind and was responsible for support tasks in all directions.

Except for Zhang Zhihuan, no one expressed objection.

Although the thugsman, the nephew battalion, took on the most important combat mission, the casualties were the most severe. The brigade commander left the nephew battalion behind, was definitely not biased, but wanted to allow this undefeated force to play a key role at critical moments.

Deploying the combat troops well. Li Dongshi did something more important.

Because all combat battalions have to be on the position to defend, most of the airborne tanks have become decorations. Although many tank bunkers specially provided to the website were excavated when building defensive positions, so that the website 2 can participate in position defense warfare with a mobile firepower point, due to the limitations of the position area and the nature of the defense warfare, not all airborne tanks can participate in position defense warfare.

According to Li Dongshi's request, the other battalions pulled out half of the airborne chariots to strengthen the thugs and bowed to the 3rd battalion.

This deployment shows Li Dongshi's defensive thinking, that is, when necessary, use the strengthened thug battalion, the first thug battalion, to carry out tactical counterattacks. Although the 2-bit troop is in each kilogram, the standard equipment of the infantry squad is one troop 2-bit troop, but compared with the chariot company of the airborne combat chariot and the driver in each battalion, the chariot company of the chariot company has a certain anti-tank combat capability, a chariot commander is added, instead of the infantry squad leader serving as the chariot commander, and the hop is drawn to jump, which will not weaken the positional defense and combat capabilities of each combat battalion.

In this way, Li Dongshi was placed on the empty plain, even if he was placed on the thug, the second round of airborne tank of the Blade Vehiclekou was an armored assault force that no one dared to underestimate.

After adjusting the deployment and unit arrangement, Li Dongshi patiently explained the key points of position defense operations to each battalion commander.

This is a very important task, because the current airborne thugs are in the brigade, except for Zhang Zhisuo Battalion Commander Ding followed Li Dongshi to participate in the battle of Ryukyu Island during the Japanese War. "The commanders of his several battalion commanders have no practical experience, and they were all assigned from the military academy after the Japanese War. More importantly, in the battle of Ryukyu Island, the airborne brigade did not fight a defensive battle, and began to attack after landing. After the Marines got ashore, they were still attacking until the last Japanese army was eliminated. There is no doubt that there is a big difference between offensive operations and defensive battles. Understanding attack does not mean knowing how to defend. In the airborne brigade, only Li Dongshi, who has participated in the positional defense battle.

This matter took Li Dongshi two hours.

After the deployment was completed, the explosions outside did not stop. The Air Force, HNA and Land Airlines were like crazy, launching continuous air strikes on the Indian army in the city of Ranchi.

After drilling out of the tunnel of the command post of the brigade, Li Dongshi first saw Lanqi shrouded in the flames.

Although the Indian army did not surrender, anti-aircraft artillery shells and air defense missiles occasionally broke through the night sky, leaving behind a few rays of sacred lights, compared to the bombing after round, the Indian army's resistance seemed both powerless and helpless.

Just be more violent.

Li Dongshi sighed secretly. If he had chosen, he hoped that the bombing would come a little more violently.

Squatting in the trench and smoking a cigarette, Li Dongshi went to the battlefield hospital next to him.

There are more and more wounded people. Because they cannot send away seriously injured people in time, the battlefield hospital, which is not spacious, seems even more crowded.

"Brig Commander" A soldier lying at the door saw Li Dongshi and immediately got up, raised his right hand wrapped in a bandage, and lost his palm.

Li Dongshi gritted his teeth, nodded, patted the warrior on the shoulder, and let him sit down.

"brigadier,"

In the aisle, all the wounded people who could stand up stood up, and the wounded people who couldn't stand up were trying their best to get up from the ground.

Li Dongshi nodded his head to each soldier and patted them on the shoulder one by one.

At the end of the tunnel of the "Brig Commander", a soldier under the age of sword blocked Li Dongshi's way, and his expression seemed very excited, "Brig Commander, why, why did you take away our weapons?"

"Who took away your weapons?" Li Dongshi stopped in front of the warriors.

"At the beginning, the chef of the logistics battalion snatched our rifle and said we didn't need it anymore, so it would be better for them to use it to kill the enemy."

Li Dongshi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that it was his order.

"Brig Commander, you said that a gun is the second life of a soldier. Even if he dies, he must hold a gun and never throw it away. Why, why, why,"

Li Dongshi breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the pistol that was pinned on his waist, stuffed it into the soldier's hand, and said, "Hold it, from now on, only I can take it away from your hand, no matter when, you must hold it."

The soldier was shocked and immediately did not know whether to return the pistol to the brigade commander or to accept the gift from the brigade commander.

You know, wearing a gun is a symbol of the identity of an officer!

"brigadier"

"brigadier"

The soldiers in the tunnel rushed over and looked at Li Dongshi with the same look.

"Don't be excited, everyone." Li Dongshi glanced at the soldiers and said after the tunnel became quiet. "We are surrounded by the enemy and will not receive reinforcements in the short term. We need more soldiers, so I let the officers and soldiers of the logistics forces take the position."

"Brig Commander, I also have to go to the position. Although I have no right hand, my left hand is still there."

"So too, I have to climb up."

"I want a top position, too."

Li Dongshi pressed his hands and said, "I promise" I promise that if you need it, you can all go to the position, and you will follow me to the position, but now, you must stay here, listen to the doctor's instructions, deal with the wounds, and take you to the position. When you need it, I will take you to the position together."

At this time, the canvas curtain at the end of the tunnel was pulled up, and Nie Ronghua, who appeared in time, freed the siege for Li Dongshi.

When Nie Ronghua changed the bandages and treated the wounds of the soldiers in the tunnel, Li Dongshi entered the battlefield hospital. A strong smell of potion came to his face, and about Dianming's serious wounded lay in the six cave warehouses with an area of ​​less than a square meter. Except for a few wounded people who couldn't help but suffer pain and moaned in a low voice, most of the wounded people were in a coma or sleeping state. Because it was too crowded, many medical staff had to tiptoe through the wounded.

"Old Li" Zhang Chunyan was sewing a wound on her belly to a wounded man. Li Dongshi suddenly appeared scared her.

"How is the situation?"

"Fortunately, I just received a sedative, and it was not a big deal." Zhang Chunyan wiped the sweat off her forehead with her blood-stained arms and said, "Life is not dangerous, but our medical skills are limited and we can only treat surface wounds. Although there are two remote remote-controlled surgical tables, the communication is disturbed and cannot be used normally. They must be sent to the rear as soon as possible. If they are dragged for a long time, minor injuries will turn into serious injuries."

"I try to arrange it, are the medicines enough?"

"The medicine is very sufficient." Zhang Chunyan paused for a moment and said, "At least it is sufficient now."

"Do your best and come to me directly if you have any questions."

Zhang Chunyan nodded, said nothing more, and healed the wound for the wounded.

Although he had a fight with Li Dongshi a few days ago, in the past two days, some of Li Dongshi's actions have changed Zhang Chun's views a lot.

Not to mention anything else, no matter how busy she is, Li Dongshi would visit the wounded and comfort the wounded every day. This is completely different from the high-ranking officers Zhang Chunyan knew. It can even be said that he was not like a brigade commander who commanded thousands of soldiers.

After walking around the battlefield hospital, Li Dongshi was in a heavy mood."

Just a few days ago, the wounded people lying in the hospital were still energetic young people.

After leaving the battlefield hospital, Li Dongshi deliberately circled around and avoided the place where the bodies of the dead soldiers were parked.

After walking around the position for a long time, after returning to the command center, Li Dongshi called the communications officer over and asked if he could establish a special communication channel for the remote remote-controlled surgical table of the field hospital. The solution was not without it, but it was necessary to occupy the communication channels between the brigade and the front-line command center, that is, use a directional communication station based on laser communication technology.

Li Dongshi didn't think too much and immediately consulted to make arrangements.

Sister Hong is still in progress, and it will probably last until dawn.

To the east of the battlefield, the battle to attack Kolkata also began under the cover of night.

What surprised the Indian army was that the Republican army did not directly attack the city of Kolkata, nor attack Howrah on the other side of the Ganges, but avoided two big cities and first attacked Gardenridge.

When the vanguard of the 77th Army broke into Gardenridge under the cover of the air thug brigade, the Indian army did not react at all.

This is not a mistake for the Indian army. According to normal tactics, the sword army should first attack Kolkata, at least occupy Howrah first, and then head south to attack Gadenridge. Only in this way can we ensure that the logistics support line of the sword army will not be threatened by the Indian army. The question is, when did Pei Chengyi use normal tactics for so long? Not to mention Pei Chengyi, the sword army's fighting style is very abnormal after participating in the war.

At that time, all the main forces of the Indian army were concentrated in Kolkata and Howrah, and there were not many defenders in Gadenridge.

During the pre-war preparations, the "migrant workers" mobilized by the Indian army mainly built the peripheral positions of Kolkata and Howrah, and did not build a solid defensive position in Gardenridge.

More importantly, Gardenridge is just a medium-sized city with an underground pipeline network that is not well developed.

Two people said that the small brigade was also dispatched across the board. In order to strengthen the offensive force, Yuan Chenhao also sent the empty low-altitude strike battalion to provide firepower support to the ground troops.

Although the Republican army attacking Gardenridge was much less than the Indian army attacking Ranchi, and the Indian army guarding Gardenridge was much more than the airborne thugs, the firepower advantage that decided victory or defeat was completely in the hands of the offensive Republican army, and the Indian army defended could only rely on the complex terrain of the city.

Without firepower advantages, no tactics of Hen, and without high-quality soldiers, terrain advantages may not be an advantage.

Compared with the main Indian army forces that attacked Ranchi, the sword army that attacked Gardenridge not only had a lot of advanced equipment specially prepared for urban warfare, such as detectors used to zip people hiding in buildings, but also had three-dimensional offensive forces that the Indian army did not have.

Practical combat has proved that the most effective means of urban attack is three-dimensional attack.

First, the air assault forces occupy the commanding heights on both sides of the street, control the surrounding areas, and prevent the enemies in nearby areas from concentrating on the streets where the ground forces are advanced. Then, the ground forces are dispatched to sweep the houses by room-to-tank cooperation, and annihilate the enemies in the buildings on both sides of the street. Because the air assault forces occupy the commanding heights, the artillery troops serving as support missions can strike enemies that cannot be seen by the ground attacking troops and provide a wider coverage of artillery fire. If necessary, even without dispatching ground forces, the air assault forces can capture important targets in the city with the support of artillery.

What made Ling Yunxiao feel most comfortable was that he could finally leave those annoying reporters behind.

Because there are no reporters fighting with the troops, there is no record of seeing the frontline report on the spot. Therefore, not only do we need to arrange troops to protect the reporters, but we can also launch an attack as we wish, without excessive concern about the harm caused to civilians by artillery fire, and even without even considering the civilian issues at all.

Before the attack began, Ling Yunxiao clearly told all battalion commanders of the A assault Brigade to make full use of artillery fire support and not to advance blindly.

Even without Ling Yunxiao's orders, the Thunderbolt thug pretended to be early as the assault brigade would do this.

From participating in the war in the early morning of the mouth to the night of the day, the sword army has been fighting for four days and three nights, and the average rest time for officers and soldiers is less than four hours a day. If they hadn't held on in one breath, many officers and soldiers would probably be exhausted.

Except for Ling Yunxiao, the soldiers of the Blade Army wanted to retreat early and rest. According to the promise of the front line command, after capturing Gardenridge, the Blade Army deployed defensive positions on the spot and no longer participated in offensive operations.

With this promise, the officers and soldiers of the Knife Army not only wanted to end the battle earlier, but also did not want to fight the enemy desperately.

It's time to rest, who is willing to risk his life to fight against the enemy for bayonets?

Of course, this idea did not reduce the fighting will of the sword officers and soldiers, but only worked hard to relax the gunners of the sword brigade.

Throughout the night, the most important thing the front-line offensive troops did was to call for artillery fire support, and the busiest thing in the entire army was the gunners of the Artillery Brigade.

Fortunately, the railway line to Bangladesh has been opened and the first batch of supplies arrived at the old night.

Without worrying about ammunition, the officers and soldiers of the Artillery Brigade only need to consider the lifespan of the electromagnetic gun, that is, they cannot fire beyond the maximum rate of fire.

Before dawn, the Armored Assault Brigade of the Thunderbolt had already controlled most of Gardenridge's city.

Ling Yunxiao asked the A-Assault Brigade to stop moving forward at this time and sent the A-Assault Brigade up. Since everyone wants to rest, you can't let a brigade stand in front and other brigades watch the fun behind.
Chapter completed!
