One o'clock in the morning, St. Paul City, combat command room.
Gustav stood in front of the big screen with his hands behind his back, watching the anxious battle situation on the southern front.
"Report to the general." The chief of staff hurriedly stepped forward and reported to Gustav the intelligence he had just received: "The Blackwater Corps dispatched hundreds of helicopters to cooperate with Xin Xiaodong's 3rd Division Armored Corps in a coordinated infantry and air attack. Our side
The eastern position is currently in a very dangerous situation..."
When Gustav heard this, he was very upset because he felt that Xin Xiaodong, who was in charge of the command, was just a fool when it came to riding a horse.
In such a large-scale positional battle, the opponent only conducted a two-hour tentative attack and then directly organized the final battle on the southern front?
This doesn’t follow common sense at all!
In order to make profits from District 1, Gustav was willing to fight this war, but he also had to pay attention to cost-effectiveness. Currently, the southern front was being treated so badly that he was obviously at a loss.
After thinking for a long time, Gustav issued an order: "Notify the First Air Force Brigade and ask them to dispatch a helicopter formation to support the First Division in the air. At the same time, let the air defense troops in the south of the city move to the back of the eastern position of the southern line to block the opponent.
The air units will attack. The Second Division remains on standby, holding the western position on the southern front, and does not move for the time being."
"Yes!" The chief of staff immediately went to convey the military order.
Soon, hundreds of helicopters took off from the military airport in St. Paul City and flew towards the southern route.
In terms of quantity, the helicopter groups dispatched by both sides were almost of the same magnitude, but in terms of quality, the helicopter groups dispatched by the two sides were obviously much worse than those in St. Paul City.
To put it simply, their warlords and generals are very wealthy, but the equipment of their troops is somewhat poor.
At the same time, the St. Paul City air defense force stationed in the south of the city also began to move. Trucks pulled heavy anti-aircraft guns and moved along the road.
About half an hour later, a row of anti-aircraft guns was already lined up on the outside of the eastern front.
The soldiers in Shengbao City adjusted their muzzles, aimed at the helicopter group in the sky, and began to counterattack!
"Bang bang bang!"
Thick smoke billows from the ground, the barrel slides, and the shells hit the sky with thunderous force!
Several Blackwater Legion helicopters failed to evade in time and were hit by artillery shells. They instantly turned into fireballs in the air and fell to the ground.
The St. Paul City helicopter group that had already arrived at the battlefield also launched an attack under the cover of artillery fire. Fighters from both sides exchanged fierce fire, and machine guns and missiles intertwined in the air.
"The support has arrived!" The commander of the First Division shouted loudly, hoarsely: "Everyone, counterattack! Fight back these damn Orientals!"
After the order was issued, the First Division of Shengbao City, which was originally suppressed and could not raise its head, also began to engage in positional counterattack operations.
The opponent's counterattack also affected Xin Xiaodong's armored forces.
On the frontier battlefield, an armored vehicle charging ahead hit a minefield. Before the driver of the vehicle could adjust his position, he heard a loud boom, the entire body armor collapsed, and countless fragments flew up.
There was a lot of thick smoke coming out of the vehicle, which made the soldiers burst into tears. The tracks of the armored vehicle were also damaged by the explosion. The entire vehicle was paralyzed and lost its mobility.
A group of soldiers from St. Paul City immediately rushed forward desperately. The machine gunner sitting on the armored vehicle continuously pulled the trigger, shattering the bodies of several soldiers. But the remaining soldiers had already rushed in front of him and shot down the machine gunner.
, then jumped on the armored vehicle and threw the explosives into the vehicle along the machine gunner's seat!
There was a roar, the armored vehicle shook wildly twice, and then stopped moving.
This phenomenon is becoming more and more common. The attacking armored vehicle groups have encountered fierce counterattacks from the other side, and the battlefield has become stalemate again.
…
The third division combat command room.
Xin Xiaodong frowned and looked at the real-time feedback of the battlefield on dozens of screens with a serious expression.
"Report to the division commander!" The staff officer next to him looked solemn and sent the information: "The Blackwater Corps air force has received news that Gustav's helicopter formation and anti-aircraft artillery have arrived on the battlefield and are attacking our air force!"
"How much loss is there?" Xin Xiaodong asked hurriedly.
The staff officer immediately replied: "Seven or eight helicopters have been lost so far. Under the intensity of this war, this kind of battle damage is acceptable, and we can continue to fight."
Xin Xiaodong subconsciously glanced at the live broadcast. A Blackwater Legion helicopter was hit by a shell and fell to the ground with flames!
"Forget it, notify the helicopter formation to retreat immediately." Seeing this scene, Xin Xiaodong did not hesitate and immediately issued an order: "Let them retreat two kilometers and be responsible for cleaning up the defeated troops on the border."
"But the counterattack from the other side is very fierce!" The staff officer couldn't help but remind Xin Xiaodong: "We are fighting very hard now, why not let the helicopter formation continue to attack?"
"We are the main attacker. If you let Boang's helicopter group suffer heavy damage, it would be a bit rude." Xin Xiaodong waved his hand: "It's just a positional battle. There is no need to fight one for one.
We just need to control the rhythm of the war. Don't panic, and don't be afraid of the other side's counterattack. You have to understand that Gustav's troops have been fighting for more than 30 years. How can it be possible that there is no defensive strength at all?
Easily capture the first division. Notify the rear air defense units, carry anti-low-altitude artillery cannons, blend in with the infantry, and sneak attack their helicopter group! Quick!"
"Yes!" The staff officer nodded immediately.
Xin Xiaodong followed up with another order: "Go ahead and inform the armored vehicles to reduce their speed, coordinate the attack with the infantry, and coordinate with the infantry and tanks to continue to break down the enemy's defense line."
"Understood!" the staff officer turned around and carried out the order.
…
At the same time, in a military vehicle, Su Tianyu was sitting in the vehicle and was also advancing forward with the large army, but their position was further back and they had not yet reached the dangerous front line.
"Stop!" The advance slowed down, the officer in front shouted, and the convoy temporarily stopped in place.
The front was filled with the sound of gunfire and fighting, and soldiers from both sides exchanged fierce firefights. In the sky, the helicopter formation of the Blackwater Corps was rapidly retreating away from the air defense net woven by the opponent's artillery.
"Sixth Master, the third division seems to be fighting very hard. The offensive momentum has weakened. I think the situation has become unclear." Hou Guoyu put down the telescope and couldn't help but said to Su Tianyu.
Su Tianyu looked at the battlefield in the distance, was silent for a while, and then said: "It's not for nothing on the other side, after all, they have been fighting for more than thirty years. If you can't even fight positional warfare, how can you become a warlord?"
?Don’t worry, I see that the helicopter formation in the sky has begun to retreat, which shows that Xin Xiaodong is confident. Remember, monkey. The more fierce the opponent’s resistance is now, the harder it is for them to hold on."
Hou Guoyu replied wisely: "This is not my major. Anyway, I really can't understand it."
…
The third division combat command room.
Xin Xiaodong took out his mobile phone and called Jin Maohui of the Terrorism Team: "Jin Bureau, where are your people?"
"It has already penetrated." Jin Maohui replied.
"I'm just about to take a breath now!" Xin Xiaodong said decisively: "With this breath, their defensive position in the East District will collapse!"
"I understand." Jin Maohui thought for a moment, and then said: "In this way, after the chaos inside, the terrorist team will follow you and insert it diagonally!"
"Okay! Hurry!" Xin Xiaodong hung up the phone.
…
Behind the eastern defensive position of the 1st Division.
Two hundred figures wearing Shengbao City military uniforms appeared quietly from the edge of the dense forest.
