Chapter 2161 Withdrawal
In the second round of attack, the Northeast War Zone of Sichuan Prefecture was very smooth, and the war loss was expected to be much lower than expected. There was indeed a reason why the He Group attacked first, which consumed the Shensha defenders for three days, but the real decisive factor was because the Sichuan Prefecture itself had strong combat capabilities.
No matter how strong the He family fights, no matter how exhausted the enemy is, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Shensha Corps to be unable to lift their guns. As long as you are an attacking party, you have to face the problem of gnawing defensive positions, attacking trenches, and pulling out enemy strongholds. Therefore, whether your own strength is strong enough will directly affect the results of the battle and the problems of your own combat losses.
Looking back at that time, Qin Yu led the Mixed Brigade into the Northwest battlefield. As soon as the battle began, a large number of deserters appeared in the army, becoming a shameful force in the entire Ninth War Zone II...
It took them five or six years in total to go from shame to glory, and they fought many battles and sacrificed many veterans to have today's dominance in army operations.
Nowadays, the Shensha Corps has no advantage in front of the Sichuan Prefecture troops except for being well-equipped.
...
The first defense zone outside the Shen system began to fall in full swing after three hours of attack in Sichuan Province, and the troops of the Shensha Corps were forced to retreat.
After the Sichuan Army seized the enemy's defensive position, it did not rush to carry out the next round of attacks, but instead carried out reassembly and brief rest.
While the soldiers were hiding and resting in the trenches, the logistics support troops in the Northeast War Zone of Sichuan Prefecture began to use helicopters to release supplementary ammunition, food and other military supplies.
After resting for about half an hour, the Sichuan Mansion did not hand over the rhythm of the offensive and defensive battle to the Shensha Corps, but immediately launched the next round of attack.
During this attack, the Sichuan Mansion changed the rhythm of the attack and began to steadily and advance slowly because it seized the enemy's defense zone, with trenches and strongholds.
When the enemy's Rocket Force began to gather fire, the Sichuan Army immediately hid in the trenches. After the opponent's firepower was covered, they quickly pushed it forward and continued to press forward.
Just like this, we grind forward little by little, and consumed forward, leaving the defenders of the Shensha Corps in a state of high mental tension almost at all times.
At around 4 a.m. the next day, he adjusted his combat ideas after the battle, and transferred the 186th Brigade, which had always been the main attacking role on the front line, and replaced it with the 185th Brigade, which had been covering the attack from the side.
At this time point, the outdoor temperature has reached the critical point of daytime exchange, which is the coldest time of the day.
The Shen soldiers in the Second Defense Zone were resting in shifts when the 185th Brigade suddenly launched an attack.
The Shen soldiers who had been struggling for three days and four nights were forced to fight at the coldest and most sleepiest time.
This battle lasted until after 8 o'clock in the morning, when the Sichuan Prefecture troops began to retreat, and the Shen Group troops barely saved the defense zone after paying a lot of war damage.
In this way, the two brigades of 186 and 185 kept changing the intensity and rhythm of the attack, and took turns to harass the defenders in the enemy's second defense zone.
A whole day later, the two brigades gathered again in the early morning to attack the second defense zone of the Shen system.
This time, the defenders who had been tortured for a day and a night in the Erdao defense zone collapsed completely less than two hours after receiving the enemy, while the Sichuan Prefecture troops continued to press forward.
Some people may wonder why the Shen family did not replace the exhausted soldiers in the second defense zone and let the brothers behind them go to the rear.
In fact, this is a question of common sense in military affairs. The Sichuan Prefecture Group is the attacking party, and the two brigades also have 14,000 troops, and there are not many troops. In addition, after they seized the first defense zone of the Shen Clan, they had the initiative to attack.
If there are a large number of defense changes in the second defense zone of Shenshi system, the defending troops will inevitably be transferred back and forth. If the Sichuan Army is able to attack this gap, the Shenshi system may not only lose its position, but also easily deceive the subsequent defense changes.
Another more important point is that the coalition forces have a total of 180,000 troops on the north and south sides of Fengfeng, while the Shensha Corps has only 70,000 troops. Although they are in an advantageous defensive side, the gap in strength is still very large.
The troops of the Feng regiment and the Second World War Zone attacked from the south; the Sichuan Administration and the He regiment attacked from the east, and the two fronts were too long, so the Shensha Corps had no follow-up troops to replace. Seventy thousand people fought 180,000 people, and the defense area was the entire north and south side of Feng, and such a large combat area had long been diluted.
...
After two and a half days of fighting on the front line, the He army, which had recovered, entered the battlefield again, replaced the combat area of Sichuan Province, and continued to attack the Shensha Corps.
This time, the He faction also imitated the attack method of the Sichuan army, focusing on harassment and torture, constantly changing the intensity and rhythm of the offensive to consume the overall combat power of the Bai Hongbo army.
At this moment, the coalition's offensive tactics have become very obvious. They rely on the large number of people and soldiers to fight with the Shensha Corps. They will not let your soldiers rest for almost 24 hours and will not let your mechanized combat readiness stop operating.
In continuous combat, even the tank's gun barrels cannot withstand it, and they have to be repaired and replaced, let alone humans.
No one is a fight, and no officer or soldier can bear such trouble. After Bai Hongbo held on the front line for about a week, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and called Shen Wanzhou directly: "Commander, we... must give up the front-line position. The other party is fighting with us on a round-robin battle, a war of attrition. The soldiers and officers are extremely tired, and it doesn't make any sense to hold on. Not only will the position be lost... we will also have a large number of deserters and defeated troops..."
This week, Chen Wanzhou was under great pressure from anyone else, so he naturally knew the situation on the front line, so he was silent for only a short while and said: "The headquarters will immediately issue an order to withdraw troops and return to defense, and you can hold on for a few more hours."
"Yes!" Bai Hongbo responded.
At around 11 o'clock that night, Chen Wanzhou was forced to issue an order to withdraw all troops, allowing the main force of the Shensha Corps on the north and south sides of Feng to withdraw to the area within 200 kilometers of Feng's north and south to conduct centralized garrisoning.
This order means that the Shensha Corps is at its last state of strength on the battlefield outside Fengbei. Once the military activity area is squeezed, they can get less resources and the military area they can control will be smaller...
In Fengbei, Chen Wanzhou, who was tired and pale in the military headquarters, had telegrams to the EU District 1 and District 6 after considering for a long time.
...
In the nearly one week of battle, the most exciting person was He Dachuan.
This independent regiment led by the old fox was responsible for the task of managing the battlefield and supporting the appropriate support, so the troops had almost no major combat reduction or military consumption. Instead, he also captured a lot of prisoners.
In Xinxiang Life Town, Commander Zhou called Meng Xi and said to him in a concise manner: "Be prepared, if you continue to fight according to this trend, the Shensha Corps has not been long..."
