Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 80, Encounter Again(1/2)
Many people did not expect that the code name "Elbru 10, the Greater Caucasus Mountains and Shrimp Peak. This code name was proposed by a senior staff officer of the Iranian Army. The second round of offensive campaign will become a turning point in the mainland war, or the watershed of the offensive operations of the Republic's Army.
Tactically speaking, "Elbrus" was the cleanest offensive battle in the Continental War.
On the main battlefield in the south, the offensive operation started in the morning of the Yue Dao Day, that is, when the offensive troops set off, the firepower preparation was only less than 4 hours. Compared with previous offensive operations, the firepower preparation was obviously weak. It is not that the offensive troops do not need sufficient firepower preparation, but that there are indeed no targets that need to be firepower strike before the attack begins on the entire front. The reason is very simple. In the previous few months, the combat troops stationed on the front line had already launched a nod-name firepower strike on the Russian army opposite the front line. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the Russian army used large-depth defense tactics to play military facilities and even the defense forces to dispose of them, and tried to disguise them as much as possible. It can be said that if there are targets worth attacking, no matter whether it is artillery hundreds of kilometers away or low-altitude attack aircraft operating near the battlefield, they will not care about spending more effort.
In fact, during the first round of offensive campaign, the Republic Army discovered that the significance of early firepower preparations was not obvious.
Relatively speaking, after the ground troops launch an attack, that is, after crossing the front line, take advantage of the enemy's opportunity to organize defense, and then use fire support and fire cover to kill and destroy the enemy's live power, and dismantle the enemy's defense line, which can more effectively exert the firepower advantages of the Republic's Army. More importantly, after the military reforms before the war, the Republic's Army has been able to turn "following firepower support into reality.
There is only one key basic corpus, namely the powerful tactical aviation force.
According to the support tactics formulated by the Republic Army before the outbreak of the war, when the ground troops attack, especially when the attack speed cannot be easily slowed down, the tactical aviation brigades assigned to the support brigade shall undertake the close-range support task, while the artillery is responsible for the battlefield blocking the battlefield with barrage and blocking the enemy's reinforcements. The reason for this tactical arrangement is very simple, that is, the artillery's range is getting farther and farther, so the reaction speed is getting slower and slower. In addition, the power of large-caliber electromagnetic cannon shells is often too powerful. Even if the shells can be improved with technical means, it is difficult to adapt to the close-range fire support task within the blade meters. Ruyi accidentally injured a friendly army. With large-caliber electric
Compared with magnetic cannons, tactical aviation corps not only has more flexible combat use, that is, they carry out support tasks of different natures by equiping different ammunitions. When using small-diameter bombs or similar ammunition with limited power and low-killing effects, they can even provide fire support within meter of force to ground troops; they can also accompany ground troops to operate and provide "real-time support" for ground troops. If considering that the main offensive method of the Republic Army is not to allow armored troops to advance on the ground, but directly cross the enemy's defense line by low-altitude assault. Occupying important areas behind enemy lines, then only tactical aviation air force can provide timely and reliable fire support for offensive troops.
Of course, offensive tactics that have the greatest impact on firepower support tactics.
Still taking the early fire preparation as an example, before the troops launch an attack, the main purpose of artillery strikes on the enemy's defensive positions is not to kill many enemies or destroy many weapons and equipment, because theoretically, fire strikes on the enemy on a well-built defensive position will definitely be very low efficiency and cannot exert the power of fire strikes. In offensive operations, the more susceptible to fire strikes is not the defenders hiding in the fortifications, but the exposed offensive forces. It can be seen that the purpose of the early fire strikes is to suppress the enemy, especially the enemy's fire strikes. It is not difficult to know the opportunity to use defenses to break through the enemy's defensive positions. From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why artillery soldiers will pursue range endlessly when technical conditions allow. To put it bluntly, because
In order for the attacking troops to be in front of the artillery, the task of the artillery is to suppress the enemy's artillery, so the enemy's artillery cannot pose a threat to its own attacking troops, so the artillery's range must be further than the enemy's artillery, otherwise it will not be able to complete combat tasks. The problem is that in modern warfare, it is not only the artillery that suppresses the enemy, but also the attacking troops may not be subject to the enemy's firepower attack when breaking through the enemy's defense line. For example, when launching an attack in a low-altitude assault, the attacking troops will not enter the enemy's firepower strike range and will not be subject to the enemy's firepower attack. Naturally, there is no need to suppress the enemy's defensive positions, and there is no need to carry out early firepower preparations. If in order to shock the enemy, or to hit the enemy's morale, or to let the enemy make wrong judgments, early firepower preparations still have value.
From another perspective, the early firepower preparations in modern warfare are essentially different from those in the early firepower preparations in the era of mechanized warfare more than four years ago. In fact, even offense and defense are essentially different. For example, there is no clear front line in modern warfare, and the depth of the defensive position is no longer a few kilometers, dozens of kilometers, but hundreds of kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers. In some special circumstances, the entire battlefield is a defensive position of the defenders. In this way, the early firepower preparations are no longer a firepower strike near the front line, but a key clearing firepower strike on the attack destination, that is, the area that needs to be occupied before the attack begins. Of course, as mentioned above, it is also possible to deliberately bombard a certain area behind the enemy's defense line to interfere with the enemy's defense deployment.
In general, in modern wars, the coverage of early firepower preparations has been expanded a lot, and sometimes it is even the most effective means of deception.
During the offensive operations on the Southern Front, the Republican Army made full use of this.
During the early fire preparations of the hour, all artillery brigades of combat units that participated in the battle were dispatched. With the highest enthusiasm, thousands of shells were dropped to the Russian defensive positions hundreds of kilometers away. In fact, only 20% of the Russian targets that were shelled during the early fire preparations were related to supporting the attack, and more than 80% were paralyzing the Russian army or causing the Russian army to send additional defense forces in the wrong direction. After the attack began, in addition to the attack unit dominated by heavy armored forces, the ninth was
The other three combat units of Doudan Shandao launched attacks in the form of paper-air assaults, and the National Army invested a near-force knife stand vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft in this battle, so as to ensure that in the first round of attacks, all combat brigades of the three combat units could be sent to the destination.
As mentioned earlier, the tactical aviation corps provided support to low-altitude assault forces.
Although the Republic Army Air Force accepted the multi-purpose fighter unit of the Air Force Tactical Aviation. However, the main force of close-range support for the land aviation is still low-altitude attack aircraft, and multi-purpose fighter aircraft are mostly used to perform interruption tasks and key bombing tasks. It rarely acts with low-altitude assault troops. Under normal circumstances, the low-altitude attack battalion of the support brigade is one-third of the low-altitude assault battalion, and in wartime, it will definitely strengthen the low-altitude attack battalion according to the situation. In the "Turan Storm", the low-altitude attack aircraft participating in the battle is equivalent to half of the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft. According to the combat records of the Republic Army, in the early morning of the lunar day, a low-altitude attack aircraft participated in the combat operation, and in fact it reached the battlefield, that is, the action of the assault troops will not be lower than that of the slinger. Although this ratio is slightly lower than the first round of offensive battles, in terms of scale, it has far exceeded the first round of offensive battles and is the largest low-altitude attack operation to date.
If a powerful low-altitude attack aircraft group is used, the offensive operation will be unsuspected.
Although according to the records of the Russian authorities, before the day of the month, the strength of the Caucasus Front was as high as 10,000. In addition to the Batsque Army of the Ukrainian Front, the total strength of the Russian army in the Caucasus region will not be lower than 10,000. Including the militia, residential self-defense forces and other quasi-military forces formed in various places, in the inner Caucasus region with a population of only 40,000, the military personnel are close to 10,000. There is no doubt that the density of the Russian troops in this area is scary. However, so many Russian troops did not have much impact on the attacking Republican army. To be honest, because the air superiority was lost too early, even the air defense system was not spared. For a country like Russia with a large and sparsely populated area, even the military personnel could not pose a threat to the enemies from the air, and it was even more impossible to block the low-altitude assault troops covered by low-altitude attack aircraft.
Judging from the battlefield situation, at noon on the day of the Yuemu, the combat brigades of the Ninth Combat Unit all arrived in New Cherkask east of Rostov. And before the defenders reacted, they dropped the city defense headquarters and asked the Russian major general responsible for the defense of the place to surrender, the Republic Army locked in the results of the second round of offensive battle. Mu Yong suspected that this was an offensive battle without any suspense.
On the day of the month, three combat brigades of the three combat units of the Republic Army arrived at the periphery of Rostov, Almaville and Krasnodar. Among them, the No. 2 combat unit and the No. 1 combat unit both occupied the target. Only the Ninth combat unit was stubbornly resisted by the Battesk Army in Rostov. They were unable to occupy Rostov before dark, and even failed to invade Rostov.
There is nothing strange about this. The Battesk Army has many old divisions, with troops close to 10,000. If the attack of the Ninth Combat Unit was not very sudden, and the combat brigades arrived. After arriving, they controlled the airport of Novo Chersk and provided support for the aviation force, so that the low-altitude attack aircraft group could use Novo Chersk as a base and did not need to return to a base hundreds of kilometers away to replenish ammunition, which maximized the combat effectiveness of the low-altitude attack aircraft group.
Otherwise, when the Russian army launched a counterattack, the Ninth combat unit would be likely to be counterattacked by the Russian army. In comparison, Almaville defenders were pitifully few. The Dikou combat unit occupied this important transportation hub town almost effortlessly. The defenders of Krasnodar had an infantry division and the Jodanag militia. Although they resisted, they surrendered before dark under the repeated attacks of the fighting units and the low-altitude attack aircraft that fought along with them.
In fact, Rostov's Battesk Army did not last long.
To be honest, the attacks of the three combat units were relatively smooth and they did not encounter much trouble.
The problem is that from these three locations, the offensive actions arranged by Yuan Chenhao are indeed a bit inconspicuous, especially under the circumstances at that time, it was difficult to make Geng Gao understand his intentions.
You should know that Rostov, Krasnodar and Almaville are both on the west side of the battlefield. To the west of Rostov is the Sea of Azov, and to the west of Krasnodar is the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine. Almaville is the only place to go from Rostov and Krasnodar to the Caucasus mountains. In other words, after the battle began, Yuan Chenhao threw three combat units, including the main combat units, to the west of the battlefield hundreds of kilometers away. The only one who attacked head-on was formed after the war broke out.
Combat Unit. Although there were the Civil Combat Units and the Dizhao Units at that time, the latter was still heavily armored. Including the eighth combat unit and the Ditian combat unit, Yuan Chenhao did not lack a reserve team and could strengthen the frontal attack at any time. However, at the most critical moment, that is, when the Russian army had not yet reacted, he did not make trouble on the front, but instead went to the enemy to set up chess pieces, which was more like making preparations for a large-scale annihilation war, rather than capturing the inner Caucasus region.
From this point of view, it is not surprising that the Russian senior executives are careful about the cautiousness of the Skull.
Of course, this also reflects Pei Chengyi's special talent in employed people. You should know that in terms of tactical planning ability, Yuan Chenhao is not inferior to Pei Chengyi, and only he has obtained Pei Chengyi's true teachings, and can apply tactical deployment in a superb way. Let the enemy Yuan and method understand his battle intentions.
However, sometimes, Yuan Chenhao is more adventurous.
At the beginning of Rostov's battle network, Yuan Chenhao left the ninth combat unit that was fighting hard, and allowed the marching unit that set out from Astrakhan and was advancing towards Elista to speed up the march. At night, less than 8 after the marching unit occupied Elista, many officers and soldiers who had just filled their stomachs and had enough energy went north to fight to Volgograd, and set off from the right wing of the Russian army to carry out the right wing of the Russian army.
The situation of encirclement. A few hours later, the Pakistani army that replaced the Ninth Battle alone entered Volgasky, also entered the war. The Buqian Electric Artillery Warehouse, which had free assistance from Japan, was a railroad gun that was eliminated by the Chinese Army. The Pakistani Army only paid for the replacement of the acceleration track and distribution equipment to violently bombard the Russian army on the other side of the river. The Pakistani army's ground forces were under the cover of artillery fire. They boarded an air-cushioned landing craft that had been airlifted in the previous few months to force the Volga River.
At this time, let alone a heavy armored unit came to the south, even if there were several combat units, the Russian army in Volgograd would not dare to be distracted. In any case, if the Pakistani army that forced the Volga River could not be defeated, the enemy could gain a foothold in the West Bank, so that the combat troops of the Republic Army could cross the river calmly, and even if they could defeat the flank enemy, they could not defend Volgograd.
If Volgograd cannot be defended, it is not the Nei Caucasus region, but the entire Russia. In a sense, Yuan Chenhao's request for the Pakistani army to attack Volgograd was also one of the main reasons why the Russian generals believed that the Republic's Army would march into Moscow. In any case, when the earth in the north was thawed and the roads were muddy, the Republic's Army was more willing to advance from the south to the north, so that they could always fight in favorable weather without having to worry too much about the impact of the weather on the attack.
Of course, Yuan Chenhao did this a bit too kind.
After the war, many Pakistani military scientists and war historians evaluated this battle and believed that the Pakistani legion made the greatest contribution. Some even believed that without tens of thousands of Pakistani soldiers rushing towards the Volga River, the Republic's army would not have occupied the inner Caucasus region so easily.
In short, Yuan Chenhao, as the general of the Republic's Army, threw the most difficult task to the allied army.
Of course, the focus is definitely on the south side.
In the early morning of sunset, the Dibi combat unit set off from Astrakhan, arrived at Elista along the marching route of the Dibi combat unit, turned south and rushed directly to the Caucasus mountains. At the same time, the Dibi combat unit handed over Astrakhan's defense mission to the Dytian combat unit that arrived, and headed south along the west coast of the Caspian Sea, arrived at Makhachkara, turned west and rushed to Grozny.
By this time, it was already March 10,000.
Yemo, it was at this time that the top leaders of the Russian army realized that the Republic's Army had no intention of going north, but wanted to entangle the main force of the Russian army in Rostov and Volgograd, and then concentrate their forces to sweep the Russian troops in the inner Caucasus region. Because the Russian army did deploy the main force in Rostov and Volgograd, the Nei Caucasus region not only dispersed its troops, but also mostly formed after the outbreak of the war. Therefore, facing the Republic's army, which was also formed after the outbreak of the war, not only did the Russian army not have the advantage of combat effectiveness, but it was also difficult for the Russian army to gain local military strength without air supremacy. To put it more appropriately. In the absence of active defense, the millions of Russian troops in the inner Caucasus region were trapped in towns and were not as sheep locked in the circle.
Don't.
Recognizing the problem does not mean solving the problem.
Strictly speaking, by 10,000, the Russian army could no longer change the situation of the war.
According to the Russian army's combat records, by the night of the moonrise, the two US military divisions who were originally planning to go to Rostov changed their route to Volgograd, and the two US military divisions who were originally planning to go to Voronezh also rushed to Volgograd. This is also easy to understand. According to the Russian army's previous judgment, the Republic's Army was preparing for the northward journey, and to prevent the Republic's Army from going north, they had to defend Volgograd to the end. Although there were many Russian troops in the Volgograd region, and not to mention anything else, the militia would be strong, but these Russian troops were not strong enough in combat. Even the morale was insufficient. More importantly, the Republic's Army's "fighting in the sky" could only sigh for the Russian army that did not have much air defense capabilities.
There is no doubt that the US military with complete combat effectiveness and high morale will definitely not have a thousand fears. With its strong air defense capabilities, at least it will not even know how to fight when facing the Republican army.
By the time the Russian army planned to adjust its deployment, two US military divisions had arrived in Volgograd.
Although the situation at that time, the top Russian military leaders asked the two US military divisions who had not arrived in Volgograd to go to Rostov to assist the Battesk front to defeat the ninth combat unit, according to the agreement reached between the United States and Russia, the US military only followed the Russian dispatch but did not accept the tactical command of the Russian army. That is, the top Russian military leaders could only provide combat tasks to the US military, but could not let the US military do this or that. More importantly, the US military commander was not a fool. Seeing the two divisions that arrived in Volgograd were trapped in the quagmire and did not go
Rescuing one's own troops and going to the south to make soy sauce will definitely be unfavorable to the US military. To put it simply, the Republican Army clearly wants to eat the inner Caucasus region, and the US military is rushing over, so what's the difference between it and dying? What's more, the US military does not have enough troops, and dispersing operations will be equivalent to revealing its own flaws and giving the Republican Army a chance to defeat each. Not to mention whether the US military commanders have a lofty internationalist spirit, when it is obviously a dead end, the top US military leaders and the top US military will not let tens of thousands of soldiers take risks.
As a result, all four US military advisors went to Volgograd.
Because reinforcements were delayed, it was actually impossible to arrive. Therefore, the Batesk Army guarding Rostov insisted until 10,000 days and night. Just after the ammunition and food were exhausted, according to the Russian army files found, before surrendering to the ninth combat unit, the Batesk Army detonated at least ten thousand tons of ammunition and put about 10,000 tons of flour, rice, edible oil and other food into the Azov Sea. There were heavy casualties. According to the post-war investigation, the total strength of the Batesk Army was Naiwan.
Among them, the name Wan is the regular army, and the other is the militia recruited during the war. When the Ninth Combat Unit moved the defense, the Russian prisoners of war handed over to the Iranian army who came to take the defense were old ten thousand. In addition, about 20,000 Russian officers and soldiers were also involved in the fall of Rostov. They fled from the Azov Sea to Ukraine. Therefore, in less than four days of battle, the Batsque Army lost about 70,000 officers and soldiers. The regular army would not exceed the Hongwan, and surrendered to the Ninth Combat Unit.
Rostov's defenders were so weak that the most happy thing was the Ninth Battle Unit.
Of course, the battle is not over yet, and the ninth combat unit is not yet ready for rest.
After the support brigade arrived, the combat brigade of the Ninth Battle Unit, Hunshan Xunshushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushu
The actual situation is that after the Ninth Battle Unit arrived in Mirerovo on the evening of Yuedao, it did not advance towards Volgograd, but continued north along the railway line, with its troops aiming directly at Daronezh.
Now the top Russian military leaders and the US military commander are in a hurry.
Before this, the US military listed Voronezh as one of the four major defense areas, and it was definitely not a matter of course. Judging from the deployment of the Russian army, the importance of Voronezh is not even under Volgograd, because it is the junction of the Russian Volgograd Front and the Ukrainian Front, or the junction of the Ukrainian Front and the Ulyanovsk Front. In other words, Voronezh is actually a loophole in the defense line of the Russian army's three major fronts! Although in April, the Russian army adopted the US military's
It is recommended that Voronezh be sent to Voronezh, including armored divisions and two infantry divisions, and also recruited many tens of thousands of militias in the local area, but due to the loss of air superiority, the Russian army was unable to send more defensive troops to the local area. That is to say, until the second round of offensive battle began, Voronezh's defense was very weak. It was the most vulnerable part of the Russian strategic defense line. It is precisely this that the US military took the risk of division of troops to Voronezh.
Even if Voronezh is not a joint headquarters of the Russian army, it is also a strategic location and has extraordinary significance for Volgograd.
More importantly, Tyronezh is one of the main transportation hubs in southern Russia. From here, you can reach Kursk, Orel and Bryansk by traveling west along the railway line, Lipetsk, Ryazan and Tula by traveling north, and Tambov, Penza, Saratov and Ulyanovsk by advancing eastward. Not to mention whether the US and Russian troops in Volgograd will be surrounded and annihilated because of the loss of Voronezh, in terms of the next advance of the Republic Army, Voronezh is much better than starting from Volgograd.
Anyone with a little military stubbornness could see that by this time, Yuan Chenhao had already shot twice.
Attacking Volgograd is a fake, and sweeping the inner Caucasus region to the south is also a fake. The real purpose of the Republic's Army is likely to be to occupy Tironezh and then go north. You must know that at this point, Yuan Chenhao only used 6 combat units. Even if he restrained 2 combat units on the central front and the northern fronts. In addition, he still needs to conquer one combat unit to siege Volgograd, and he still has 6 combat units to mobilize. If Iranian Legion can be used instead of several combat units fighting in the inner Caucasus region, and appropriately mobilize the Allied troops, Yuan Chenhao even has the ability to invest in the old combat units and head north from Voronezh!
The question is, is this necessarily Yuan Chenhao’s real purpose?
No one can guarantee that the attack on Ronezh was only Yuan Chenhao's third feint attack.
It can be said that the US and Russian troops are facing the most difficult choice since the beginning of the battle. What's even more terrible is that the Ninth combat unit's assault speed is very fast, and it can reach Voronezh at the latest in the morning of the month of the month. It will launch an attack on the same day. With the combat effectiveness of the Voronezh defenders, even if they do not surrender, they will insist on it at most before the entire army is wiped out. From this we can see that in order to block the progress of the Ninth combat unit in Voronezh and repel the Ninth combat unit, the US and Russian troops must reinforce Voronezh before the morning of the day of the recruitment.
The question is here, what reinforcements should the US and Russian troops use for Voronezh?
Although the Russian main force closest to Daronezh is Lipetsk, a kilometer north. The nearest US military is in Volgograd, the support brigade of the Ninth Combat Unit has entered Rostov, and all vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft no longer assist the offensive forces, but are responsible for the task of transporting combat materials. A vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft can transport about 10,000 tons of materials to the front line every day. In addition to fully satisfying the combat consumption of the combat brigade, it can also provide sufficient ammunition for the low-altitude attack aircraft stationed in Rostov. Mu Yong suspected that in the face of such a powerful low-altitude strike force, even if the artillery brigade was moving towards Volgasky, the reinforcements of the US and Russia would not expect to arrive at Voronezh with heavy equipment. Without heavy equipment, reinforcements of Voronezh would be meaningless.
When the fight reaches this point, the US and Russian troops can be said to be helpless.
It can be said that this is exactly where Yuan Chenhao has outstanding abilities, and it is also where he looks most like Pei Chengyi, that is, he does not give his opponent any chance on the battlefield and eventually wins in an indescribable way.
In the early morning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ninth Combat Unit began to attack Ronezh, a few hours earlier than the United States and Russia estimated.
Because the Russian army along the way did not resist, the top leaders of the US and Russian army did not dare to expect the defenders of Voronezh to fight until the last moment.
As Voronezh was doomed to fall, the commanders of the US and Russian troops began to consider retreating.
In any case, it is meaningless to not be able to defend Voronezh. It is mentioned earlier that after occupying Voronezh, the Republic's army could bypass Volgograd and besiege Ulyanovsk with friendly forces on the central line. It even directly interspersed with friendly forces on the northern line to surround all Russian troops south of Kirov. In short, the meaning of continuing to defend Volgograd is no longer there.
Under this circumstance, breaking through has become a natural thing
On the morning of the same day, the US troops who arrived in Volgograd went north along the left bank of the Volga River and retreated towards Saratov. According to the agreement, the Russian army would cut off the rear. That is, the US troops would first ensure the retreat. In the face of difficulties, the Russian army was very righteous. The Russian army did not let the Allies who came from afar stay behind and wait for death. Of course, when the Russian authorities promoted the "Volgograd spirit", they did not mention that in order to maintain military discipline, the Russian military police at least shot and killed Yi Xunshushu on the day of the feather day.
In fact, it doesn't make much sense for who will withdraw first at this time.
Before the vanguard of the US military left Volgograd, Saratov was attacked. And the attack was the eighth combat unit that was left to serve as a reserve. Because the attack came very suddenly, before the vanguard of the eighth combat unit arrived in Saratov on a vertical take-off and landing transport plane, the strategic bomber of the Republic's Sky Army bombed the city's Russian command center with long-range cruise missiles. In order to determine the exact location of the Russian command center of Saratov, the Republic's intelligence departments and electronic reconnaissance units were busy for several months. After the battle began, they cooperated with the operation.
The electronic troops suppressed electronic interference across the city, while the special forces crossing the river in advance cut off underground communication fibers and cables. In order to determine the specific deployment of these underground communication facilities, the Military Intelligence Bureau not only instigated several senior Russian communication engineers, but also allowed intelligence personnel lurking in Russia to kidnap the head of the Saratov communications company and obtain the communication infrastructure engineering drawings. Therefore, after being attacked, Saratov's defenders failed to issue a battle alarm, and the US and Russian troops in Volgograd did not know that Saratov was attacked and was about to fall.
It is conceivable that the retreat of the US and Russian troops to Saratov at this time is equivalent to falling into the trap.
It can be said that the Republic's army attaches so much importance to Saratov and even sacrifices the senior intelligence personnel lurking in the Russian Federation government for this purpose. It is to hope that the US and Russian troops will retreat to Saratov. You must know that even if the ninth combat unit can successfully occupy Voronezh, the US and Russian troops can retreat to Tambov without having to go to Saratov. Take another step back because fighting on the local area. The Russian army can even disband on the spot, turning the regular army into guerrillas behind enemy lines. Although the US troops retreat much more difficult, there will be no way out.
In other words, only if the US and Russian troops take the initiative to send the dagger door can we avoid fighting hundreds of thousands of enemy troops on the too narrow battlefield in Volgograd, and make full use of the firepower advantages of the Republic's Army Joint, and allow the Republic's army to annihilate the enemy in mobile warfare.
This is what Pei Chengyi said, using regular fighting styles, give the US military some color.
Of course, paper will definitely not keep the fire, let alone a big city with a population of nearly one million and tens of thousands of troops.
By dawn, the US military stopped at Kameshen, who was about a thousand meters away from Saratov.
Come
To be continued...
