The first forty-nine chapters, the soldiers are divided into two groups, and they reach Dragon City
The Three-hole Bridge, located on the east side of Dragon City, is the only way for the entire Dragon River to wind downwards and lead to the Galle Sea.
This bridge is less than two kilometers long and less than fifty meters wide. The overall construction scale is small, but it is the most important strategic location in the Dragon City counterattack.
Occupying this bridge can ensure that the occupied area of Zone 1 in Longcheng and the forward base of the First Corps cannot be tightly defended in a short period of time.
At the same time, this can also win a key counterattack opportunity for the 300,000 coalition troops led by Su Tianyu. Once they arrive here, they can follow this opening to attack the forward base of the First Corps upwards and recover the dragon downwards.
City occupied area.
Therefore, the Longcheng garrison led by Tan Mingchao and the First Army of the People's Min Army led by Xin Xiaodong forcibly occupied this place at the very beginning of the counterattack.
They deployed defenses in the city near both sides of the Long River, in the mountains not far away, and in the surrounding complex areas.
At this time, the troops in District 1 in Longcheng had been completely cut off after Xin Xiaodong launched the attack, and the channels connecting the occupied areas were cut off.
Coupled with the series of chaos caused by Commander Wang's assassination, the troops in Area 1 could only huddle in the occupied areas that had not yet been lost.
However, the response from the top of the Military and Political Council of the First District was just as quick. They also knew the strategic value of Sankong Bridge and it was a battleground for military strategists. Therefore, they asked the forward base of the First Corps to dispatch a force of 50,000 to 60,000 people to attack the Sankong Bridge.
The defenders launched an attack.
In comparison, the total number of Xin Xiaodong and Tan Mingchao's troops together did not exceed 30,000. Moreover, without support in a short period of time, it was difficult to block this position. You can imagine how difficult it was.
The two sides quickly completed the engagement. District 1 launched three general attacks within six hours. The fighting stretched for more than ten kilometers along the Three-hole Bridge.
The fighting here was extremely brutal. The buildings on the edge of the city and the nearby mountains were all filled with craters. The blood shed by the sacrificed soldiers on both sides almost dyed the Dragon River behind them red.
Both sides of the river were littered with corpses of both the enemy and ours. In these six hours, the combined number of casualties on both sides exceeded 15,000.
This was the highest number of direct casualties suffered by District 1 in fighting around the mainland after the Era.
Similarly, Xin Xiaodong and Tan Mingchao, who are fighting hard here, are also in danger of destruction at any time. Because they not only have to face the impact of the army, but also have to carry the troops sent by the air force base in the area between Longcheng and the Lao-Mexico border.
Continuous bombing.
The beacon smoke is like a tiger for thousands of miles, and the war is still going on.
…
At about 9:30 pm, Su Tianyu's headquarters had arrived in Longcheng and made offensive adjustments.
Su Tianyu ordered the Lao Mo official army and the Renmin army to have a total of 150,000 troops, plus 30,000 Blackwater Army troops, to attack the air base built by the First Corps at all costs.
As soon as the war started, its intensity has escalated infinitely.
In this battle, Lao Mo's officers and soldiers have spent all the money they have accumulated over the years. The long-range tactical missiles mounted on the vehicles alone have brought in more than 20 vehicles and mounted them on
Hundreds of cannonballs.
At the same time, all the Shenzhou series missiles that China has recently supported the Minjun Army have been deployed on the battlefield, forming two unprecedentedly large long-range firepower groups.
In just two rounds of fire coverage, the garrison points inside and outside the airport, as well as the main military structures inside the airport were destroyed.
Subsequently, nearly 200,000 troops pressed forward from all directions, preparing to occupy this place in a fight to the death.
On the other side, Su Tianyu ordered Wang Dingyuan's troops and part of the Min army led by Fei Pingsheng to attack the Sankong Bridge at full speed, with the estimated arrival time being within five hours.
When he was arranging tactics, District 1 was also arranging troops, and they were also divided into two places. While they sent the First Corps to attack the Sankong Bridge, the main force of 80,000 troops stationed around the air base also
Quickly move closer to the base and engage in battle with the coalition forces.
The two battlefields will lead to a decisive battle in a short period of time.
…
Within Dragon City, the frontline battlefield headquarters.
Su Tianyu stood in the center of the command room, looking at the entire deployment on the sand table with sweat on his forehead.
He thought for a moment, picked up the satellite communicator, and personally called the commander of the Lao Mo army fighting on the front line. He said straight to the point: "Lieutenant General Yodhua, don't care about the intensity of their resistance, and don't think that they are coming with 80,000 people.
We are here to fight you to the death. We are responsible for ourselves in fighting this battle, and their troops will always be responsible for the regional council and many factions. If you look at their history, they will be responsible for any land battle.
, can't bear the large-scale battle damage. Therefore, I don't need to give you too long artillery suppression time now. After you approach the airport, I will give you enough long-range fire support. In a short time, it must be chewed.
It! Once the air force base is occupied, the communication line between Lao Mo and Longcheng will no longer be subject to covering air strikes."
The other party thought for a moment and immediately replied: "Okay, after my troops press forward, I hope to see that our long-range firepower group can severely blow their airport into a sieve. You know, Commander Su, this
It’s a battle of revenge!”
Su Tianyu immediately said: "Of course I know, this is the same for us!"
After the two finished speaking, they hung up the communication.
Su Tianyu paused for a moment and was about to contact the Blackwater Legion. At this time, a shout suddenly sounded outside the door.
"salute!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and Tan Hengqiang, An Zecheng, Liming Sheng and others stepped into the room.
When Su Tianyu heard the voice, he turned to look at the other party and asked softly: "Guests, why are you here?"
Liming Sheng and Anzecheng looked a little embarrassed and did not say anything.
Tan Hengqiang looked at Su Tianyu and asked in a questioning tone: "The decisive battle has already begun, why are we dividing our troops?"
When Su Tianyu heard this, he immediately said: "Commander Tan, let's talk in the room."
Tan Hengqiang glanced at everyone with a displeased expression, and then walked into a nearby lounge with Su Tianyu, Zhao Weihu and others.
After Lao Li and Lao An also came in, Gu Baishun stood in the room and closed the door.
Su Tianyu extended his hand to invite: "Several leaders, please sit down."
Tan Hengqiang waved his hand directly: "I'm not going to sit down anymore. I just want to ask you, why are we dividing our troops?"
Su Tianyu paused and explained with a frown: "Commander Tan, this air force base happens to be stuck between our Longcheng border and the Lao-Mo border, and there are 80,000 people nearby to protect it. We
Unplugging here, firstly, can force their 80,000 troops to engage in a decisive battle with us around the air force base, thereby reducing the pressure on the Longcheng battlefield and hindering Wang Ding's advancement; secondly, this air force base has very far radiation
Within a radius of 500 kilometers, they can carry out fire strikes at will. If our troops join together, they will inevitably suffer violent air attacks during the movement. Therefore, we must pull out this nail. This will not only ensure that Dragon City
The line of communication with the Lao Mo area is safe, and at the same time, it will speed up the victory of this war and produce a result that is beneficial to us as soon as possible."
Tan Hengqiang pointed to the ground and said word by word: "You are once again using Longcheng's troops as cannon fodder and bait!"
Su Tianyu immediately shook his head: "I didn't mean that. I know it's difficult to defend Longcheng, but as long as it's a war, no army is comfortable. Although our attacking troops have a large number of people, their battle loss ratio is not as good as
There are few in Dragon City."
Tan Hengqiang waved his hand: "I don't care what you think now, you must order Lao Mo's main force to dispatch 80,000 people to support the Sankong Bridge! I just received news that the garrison of the Sankong Bridge has lost nearly 80,000 troops.
Thousands of people, they may be wiped out at any time!"
Su Tianyu thought about it and refused: "No, I can't evacuate so many people now. Once another 80,000 people are pulled out, the attack intensity on the air force base will not be enough. And even if troops are mobilized now, there is no way
Quickly change the situation of the Three-hole Bridge."
Tan Hengqiang's face was very ugly, and he stared eccentricly and yelled: "You are standing and talking without hurting your back! The troops in Longcheng have paid too much for this war. Our garrison of nearly 70,000 people is not enough until now.
Thirty thousand people, do you want them all to die? My son is still there!"
When Su Tianyu heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
At this moment, Zhao Weihu, who had been silent, immediately stepped forward, looked at Tan Hengqiang, and responded angrily: "Where is your son? Look at the entire battlefield, look at the attacking soldiers, which one of them is not someone else's son?
Are they not important? Is your son the only one who is most important?!"
