(The fastest and most stable update,) (The fastest and most stable update,) Sitting in the command post, Cang Long’s expression on his face, Xue Bao and Bai Chang, couldn’t understand what Cang Long was doing. As the battle report came, the Second Army’s heavy equipment The remnants of the armored division have begun to exchange fire with Taylor. The intelligence sent by Susu tells them that the situation is not optimistic.
The heavy armored division is inferior to the US First Armored Division in terms of quantity and quality, not to mention that the opponent has an army aviation brigade to cooperate with them.
And Heichang, the fierce man, fought for nearly an hour without sending any signal for reinforcements. The eye troops were about to defeat all the troops, but Canglong did not issue an order for garrison reinforcements. It was not until an hour and a half later that Canglong calmly said: "Garrison troops." You can go”
Snow Leopard immediately left the headquarters. He is the commander of the Special Operations Command. The garrison is also under his jurisdiction, so he is the one who is most anxious.
However, in the hour after Xue Bao left, Xiami and Bai Chang were in a hurry. However, Cang Long was making tea and waiting calmly. It took another hour and a half before Cang Long ordered the 50,000 militiamen to move around. A message for help came because he felt that he had been tricked by Canglong [
It was originally scheduled for half an hour, but now it has become an hour and a half. This made the Snow Leopard, who was not mentally prepared, fight very hard. When he arrived at the battlefield, the heavy armored division was almost wiped out.
However, their force of ten thousand people did not change the situation of the war. Taylor was very smart. After he arrived, he still launched a desperate attack on the heavy armored division in an attempt to completely eliminate the heavy armored division. This resulted in a garrison without heavy firepower. After attacking, they were severely blocked, but they had to continue the attack and suffered heavy casualties. Finally, they managed to create a gap and they all rushed in, only to find that they were surrounded.
Surrounded by the land and air firepower of the 1st Armored Division, the garrison also suffered heavy casualties. However, Canglong only answered one sentence to the Snow Leopard's request for help: "I don't want to receive intelligence saying anything. We are holding on to our position and can no longer hold it." You simply don't You don’t need to hold your ground, you just need to attack. It’s the Yankees who should hold their ground.”
After the order was sent, the Snow Leopard did not ask for reinforcements. It was as if the entire army was wiped out. Aziz asked for orders: "Let the air force come for reinforcements. If the fight continues, they will not be wiped out."
But Canglong continued to shake his head. After an hour and a half, the 50,000 militiamen were sent out according to the predetermined plan. The next troops were also sent out within an hour and a half.
By the time the last police and student soldiers were sent out, it was already midnight. Aziz and Bai Chang were almost fooled by Canglong's calmness, and they finally understood what kind of tactics Canglong used.
In professional terminology, this is called the refueling tactic. It is actually a method of exploratory attack, which refers to the method of using small groups of troops to attack one after another. It is like refueling an oil lamp once is not enough, adding more oil is not enough, and adding more oil a few times is not enough, but like this Tactics that only the crappiest commanders will use
Under normal circumstances, commanders will not take the initiative to adopt the refueling tactic. The reason for adopting it is often due to insufficient understanding of the enemy's situation in the early stage or misinterpretation of the strategic situation, resulting in insufficient troop input in the first wave of battles to achieve strategic and tactical objectives, or encountering fierce enemy force. The counterattack resulted in heavy losses and difficulty in evacuating the battlefield. In an eagerness to achieve war goals, commanders would throw troops into the battlefield before the reserve forces were fully assembled and effectively integrated, resulting in the same results as the first wave of attacks.
Therefore, Canglong used the refueling tactic to send the troops in batches to kill the Americans. The only place where the refueling tactic can be used and effective is in a defensive battle with defensive positions. The refueling tactic can play a certain role in defense. The troops relied on effective defenses to partially invest troops in various areas to block and harass the enemy's troops in order to delay the enemy's attack, consume the enemy's vitality and destroy the enemy's will to attack. This was reflected in the Stalingrad street battles and the Shangganling tunnel battle.
However, they did not rely on adequate defensive measures. Instead, they fought against the U.S. military in an open-air environment. Canglong also used refueling tactics, a tactic that no commander with military knowledge would use. It simply sent them to death.
"If you keep playing like this, you will kill all hundreds of thousands of people." Xiami already had some doubts about whether Canglong was really preparing for war, and also suspected that he deliberately let these people die. The previous steps were all staged.
"This tactic of the Prophet will not have any effect at all." Aziz said in a respectful tone but still very dissatisfied.
"Only Taylor knows whether it will be effective or not. The air force will take the initiative to attack in an hour and a half." Canglong said to Xiami, "Have your people seal off the escape route. If Taylor wants to retreat, use guides to serve him."
Several people had some words, but they still carried out the order.
In fact, the refueling tactics used by Soryu are indeed effective and he created a miracle. But this miracle can only be created by a specific army in a specific situation, such as the current Basra battlefield.
At this moment, Taylor was indeed in a very uncomfortable state because from day to night, he found that the more troops on the opposite side fought, the stronger their morale became.
The reason why he ordered the troops to fight Heichang's heavy armored division was that he couldn't stand Heichang's harassment. In the end, Heichang fought to the death with him before he gave up the goal and prepared to take down Heichang. But he still reserved defensive troops because he felt that This is the final battle left by the Prophet's Army in Basra.
Of course, his judgment was not wrong. This was indeed a decisive battle. It was just that the idea of a decisive battle did not meet the standards he thought. After dealing with the medium and heavy armored divisions of the Prophet Army for almost an hour and a half, Taylor finally managed to get rid of this unit that made him irritated. surrounded
The next step was to clear out the enemy, but the process was not smooth. Even the troops on the front line sent reports saying that the army was getting bigger and more tenacious. There was no possibility of surrender or compromise. When the tanks were damaged, they used human bombs to deal with them. tank[
Several people rushed forward one after another until the companion in front died, but no one flinched, as if there was a force controlling them to die.
The U.S. military was stunned. From frontal confrontation to positional warfare, as long as these Prophet Army soldiers were not dead, they would fight back until the U.S. military thought it was going to completely wipe out this unit. Another unit appeared.
Taylor was so angry that he almost overturned the table. The appearance of this unit completely exceeded his expectations. At the critical moment, they rescued the dying heavy armored division. Although there were not many people alive, their joining made this positional battle more difficult. the more interesting
Although Taylor was furious, he knew that now he was facing another problem. If he didn't eliminate them, it would be difficult for him to reach Basra. Since he couldn't go to Basra without eliminating them, let's fight.
Taylor ordered an all-out attack to get rid of the battlefield completely, but what he thought of was that although this newly joined force had too many heavy weapons, their fighting will was no less than that of the heavy armored division just now. In the headquarters, Taylor even Hearing his commander say that they are scared
The 1st Armored Division is known as a lunatic in the US military, but now the enemy they face is a group of people who are crazier than them. At least they still want their lives, but the people on the other side don't want their lives at all.
When he finally surrounded this unit and was about to swallow it up, another unit appeared two hours later. This unit circled behind them and launched an attack. Although the weapons of this unit were inferior to those of the previous unit,
They all have one thing and are not afraid of death
Moreover, the number of people in this unit is twice that of the first armored division. At this point, almost all of his medicine has been thrown at the two units in front. If there are supplies, they will soon be in an embarrassing situation.
But Taylor was not ready to retreat. He was ready to abandon these troops, break into Basra, and fight in Kuwait. But it was not so easy to get out.
Because the three troops were outflanked and almost separated his troops. At that moment, Taylor finally understood the cleverness of the commander on the opposite side. Because now he was facing the possibility of complete annihilation of the army or even all being captured. He had to know his troops.
Once the ammunition is gone and surrounded, almost everyone will choose to surrender. Does the US military have a tradition of sacrifice?
When he ordered all the troops to withdraw through Basra and transfer to Kuwait, another unit appeared again. At that moment, the 1st Armored Division, which had run out of medicine, was almost exhausted and could not continue.
Moreover, there were another 50,000 people in this army. At the end of the battle, about 20,000 to 30,000 people rushed over and completely made dumplings out of them.
The medicated 1st Armored Division can't fight them hand-to-hand. It's also a good choice to drive a tank and run into them. But Taylor's men are already tired after fighting for so long.
When the roar of fighter jets appeared in the sky, the tanks that were preparing to attack Basra were blown up mercilessly. Everyone in the First Armored Division was in despair. Surrenders were pouring in.
Taylor, on the other hand, stayed where he was. This time he did not curse but said calmly: "We lost in will."
He did lose in terms of will. Although Canglong was using a refueling tactic, the terrain here was wide and their advantage lay in their large number of people.
If all the troops were pressed forward in an instant, Taylor would probably turn around and run away when the situation turned bad. Basra would definitely have another henchman in the future.
In order to keep him here, Canglong added troops one by one. Of course, this also had another effect of stimulating the fighting will of the soldiers at war. When their homeland was about to be destroyed, they would only get stronger and stronger.
Rather than die, they don’t want to become slaves of Americans again. No matter how poor their country is, it still belongs to them.
