Zhou Yu's words made both Zhang San and Liu Chengliang feel deeply embarrassed, but neither of them opened their mouths to argue. After all, facts speak louder than words. In the early stage of the plan, they were indeed planning to use money to pave the way. 1 Novel Network
But then again, this strategy is what Zhou Yu has always advocated. The life of a soldier is above all else!
Among the senior executives present at the meeting, the atmosphere finally became less serious and relaxed as Zhou Yu teased Liu Chengliang and Zhang San. Next, everyone had a heated discussion on the detailed layout and rhythm made by Zhang San. I don’t know.
Unconsciously, time pointed to the final stage of the general attack, and Commander-in-Chief Zhang San issued the order for the artillery attack.
The order was immediately conveyed to each combat unit by the frontline command system. On the imperial position on the south bank that stretched for several kilometers, several "chirp..." signal flares were fired into the sky of the theater by special starting guns. Several band-shaped spectrum day and night red flares
The flare, trailing a long tail, is particularly conspicuous in the sky.
Having been prepared for a long time, the artillery positions of the artillery positions on the south bank of the Empire Valen across the river, under the command of the commanders and gunners, opened fire according to the designed angle. The well-trained imperial marksmen fired the shells,
The radius measurement of hit accuracy can be accurate to meters. This kind of accuracy is an essential quality for the imperial marksman.
Nearly a thousand artillery pieces of different calibers fired almost at the same time. This scene was extremely shocking! With the loud sound of "dong dong dong..." and driven by the huge force of gunpowder, the huge cannonballs left the center of the earth.
Gravity, with huge impact, roars towards the target.
A large area of flames and thick smoke was produced at the cluster's muzzle, and the ground trembled. For a time, the entire artillery position was shrouded in thick smoke.
According to Zhang San's plan, the empire's early fire strike was to target the enemy's defensive positions and artillery positions on the north bank, and strike from near to far. The firepower coverage of this artillery group was high, with a small impact point, like
It's like planting crops and rowing them over, and its damage to cluster targets on the ground is extraordinary.
The polar bear soldiers were most aware of this! Because it was not the first time that the artillery of the Empire's Wallen District had bombarded them. However, this time the artillery was extraordinary. After all, the number of artillery was countless times that of before, and other
The destructive consequences are also quite serious.
For this operation, the Northern Theater Command has made a lot of preliminary preparations. Through repeated reconnaissance, the most important military target areas for polar bears have been determined, and important markings have been made on these areas. These are the focus of artillery firepower and aerial bombers.
'Care' object.
In a base near the area 10 kilometers behind the south bank, the selected leading charge troops were given tactical lessons and force crossing training. The vanguard force probably trained more than 10,000 imperial warriors according to the basic force crossing technical requirements, aiming to
Improve their combat capabilities and adapt them to fast-paced combat requirements.
In addition to these vanguard troops, there were also more than 600 light tanks and three-wheeled motorcycle troops participating in this rapid crossing. These troops were the vanguard to enhance the assault's heavy firepower. And they were 100% from the Locust troops.
Some well-trained, quick-reaction special operations troops.
After the first step of fire bombardment, the forward troops that follow will quickly advance to the other side through the temporary pontoon bridge. The empire's artillery troops and sky bomber troops will be several kilometers in front of them, extending firepower deep into the enemy.
Clear obstacles for them. Air-ground coordinated operations can achieve better combat results!
In addition, what is extremely beneficial to the engineering troops is that the polar bear troops have not destroyed all the bridges on the river. All the bridges on the river have large gaps several meters cut off from the middle. As long as the soldiers can temporarily fill these gaps, everything will be fine.
Okay. There’s a reason why polar bears didn’t completely destroy the bridge!….
Nicholas II's ambition to counterattack the Chinese Empire has never died. He also hopes that one day, the flag of the Polar Bear Empire will be planted on the territory of the Chinese Empire again! For Nicholas who does not understand military affairs, the order
, Han Xianxiang must abide by it, even if there are consequences, he must implement it!
On this S-shaped river, Zhang San's real target is the polar bear's leftmost protruding position. There are fewer polar bear troops in the protruding part, and the river is not deep, so bridges can be built quickly. Relatively speaking, the enemy firepower on the left bank is relatively large.
Less, because the enemy’s main defense is the deep area on the right ~ Wallen,
But it also has drawbacks. If the imperial troops attack the left line, even if they control the entire left bank, the imperial troops still cannot occupy the polar bear's central location ~ Valen. The troops crossing the river will be suppressed by the polar bear's artillery and stuck firepower.
, you may still pay a heavy price.
If the imperial troops choose to attack the right bank, then once the right bank is cleared, they can occupy it sequentially without having to consider more points to cross the river.
However, the operational intention of the Imperial General Command is to attract more polar bear troops to reinforce the Wallen Line of Defense in order to reduce the pressure on the German Empire on the Eastern Front. In this case, it would be extremely unwise to choose the right bank for a quick breakthrough!
In order to achieve a win-win situation strategically and tactically, and at the same time to minimize his own losses, it is necessary to concentrate superior forces in a local space and eliminate the weak defenders. Therefore, Zhang San learned from Sirov's new multi-point breakthrough
The general direction of tactics and tactical design is to attack mainly on the left side.
After determining the direction of the attack, he began to arrange the specific positions. There are two reasons why Zhang San was able to do this. One is because the polar bear has no air threat and the deep strike power of artillery. Therefore, he does not need to consider the security of the rear at all. The Empire
Almost all artillery positions are close to the forward positions on the south bank.
The second is that the imperial air force has an absolute advantage. The imperial artillery positions and air strikes can cover the entire polar bear's deep defense line and destroy the polar bear's deepest hidden heavy fire positions. After breaking through from the left bank, the enemy wants to copy the imperial retreat.
As a result, they will definitely be annihilated by the empire's concentrated fire.
After considering these considerations, Zhang San designed such an attack strategy.
Thousands of artillery pieces from the empire formed a wave-shaped firepower network, extending deep into the Polar Bear defense line on the north bank of Wallen, Heilongjiang. Special "care" was given to important targets, causing the Polar Bear's heavy firepower positions and solid fortresses to suffer devastating blows. Bombs such as
Even the rain is not enough to describe its majestic momentum!
The one-hour fire bombardment did not cause any major damage to the polar bear soldiers, but it left a strong shadow in their hearts. With the national strength of the polar bear, the bear soldiers could not understand the extravagant attack of the imperial artillery. After all, this kind of
Tactics are money-consuming transactions, and polar bears can’t afford them!
Unlike the European Western Front fortresses, the so-called polar bear fortresses are crudely implemented and have extremely poor defense capabilities, and do not qualify as real fortresses. Therefore, these originally fragile 'solid' fortifications basically exist in name only under the attack of fueled incendiary bombs.
No longer has protective capabilities.
As the firepower network continues to extend, the polar bear position is filled with fire and flames everywhere, and this flame is an everlasting flame that lasts and devours everything.
The Imperial reconnaissance aircraft in the sky reported the bombing effects to the headquarters in a timely manner, and guided the fire network to more accurately cover the polar bear activity fire positions that had been quietly transferred. The Imperial Engineer troops began to scramble for the equipment shortly after the bombardment.
Crossed the bridge.
Because according to the assessment team, the polar bear's first line of defense no longer has heavy firepower that can threaten the engineering troops! Under the constant threat of the empire's heavy firepower, the polar bear army does not pose an effective threat to the engineering troops. Therefore, the empire
Only the engineering troops will boldly rush to build the crossing bridge...
The bridge-building behavior of the engineering troops made the top brass of the Polar Bear military realize that the troops on the southern coast of the Chinese Empire were preparing to launch a large-scale general attack. Therefore, some hidden artillery that had not been destroyed by artillery fire and that had not been detected were directed at
The engineering troops under construction on the south bank showed off their power, and scattered artillery shells roared towards them.
Hearing the roar of artillery shells, the soldiers hurriedly fell down. The explosion of the artillery shells was at a certain angle. If they were not unlucky enough to be in the center of the explosion, more than 90% of their bodies would not be hit by shrapnel after lying down.
This is the most common instinctive action of all Imperial soldiers.
Sure enough, the first wave of bombs, which lacked guidance from the sky, did not cause much damage. Only a few soldiers were hit by shrapnel that was not powerful in the first place. The injuries they received were basically minor injuries.
Only a few unlucky soldiers were hit by shrapnel in important parts, causing serious injuries, but none of them were fatal.
This time, another army of the empire was offended - the tank division, a tank group hidden with camouflage on the front line. Under the command of the headquarters, relying on the coordinates provided by the reconnaissance aircraft, the artillery fire of the tank division,
Precise strikes were carried out on the polar bear's few artillery positions.
The artillery shells of the Imperial tanks are not like the Imperial heavy artillery that uses fueled incendiary bombs, but real special armor-breaking shells. But it is somewhat different from the armor-breaking shells of later generations. Its structure is extremely simple, its cost is very low, and its explosive power
It is so huge that the fragments it explodes can radiate tens of meters;
However, it does not have the armor-breaking efficiency of later armor-breaking bombs, and it does not use plastic explosives for accumulation. Instead, it is replaced by another cheaper explosive. Therefore, it has little to do with the bullet speed and angle of impact, and has little impact on armor fragmentation.
A’s abilities are also very limited;
But because it has a larger charge and greater blasting power, it can completely replace grenades to deal with various fortifications and cluster personnel. Tanks that are already equipped with armor-breaking grenades will generally not be equipped with grenades by the Imperial Army.
.
After all, according to the needs of the battlefield, the polar bears on the opposite side are not qualified to allow the tank group to carry a variety of ammunition.
