The ammunition, nicknamed spicy bombs by the imperial soldiers, exploded around the enemy's fortifications.
The gas released after the explosion floats in the open space of the fortification. As the number increases, the gas concentration becomes higher and higher.
The relatively airtight fortress made the special bombs more effective. The polar bears, who were relaxed at first, finally tasted the so-called spicy bombs.
The pervasive irritating gas soon filled the entire fortress space. The polar bears who inhaled the gas had a strong reaction after a while.
Some polar bears who have inhaled less gas have their eyes irritated by the gas, causing constant tears, stinging and difficulty opening, and accompanied by vomiting symptoms;
Inhaling the high concentration of polar bears caused a lot of tears, violent coughing, sneezing, and even difficulty breathing. This situation was so unbearable for the polar bears that no one in the messy fortress could stand at their posts anymore.
Some polar bears are in serious condition, and a few even die of shock.
The No. 1 and No. 2 bridgeheads that Dashan and his company were responsible for attacking, as well as the enemy's firepower points, were completely shut down in an instant.
At this time, the soldiers of Dashan Company seized the opportunity and quickly pressed forward with the whole company. The Locust troops responsible for assisting rushed to the front of the tank like rabbits.
The enemy's No. 1 and No. 2 bridgehead fortresses were completely blinded by the power of the spicy bombs, and were quickly captured by Dashan Company so easily.
The entire fortress contained a total of more than 20 rapid-fire cannons, machine guns, and more than 10 light and heavy machine guns, but they had no effect at all. It fell.
As a result, other frontline troops of the empire also followed the example of the Dashan Company and prepared to use spicy bombs to open the bridgehead passage. However, the polar bears who had woken up were on guard, so the spicy bombs used by other brother troops had little effect.
Other fraternal troops had to change directions and pass through Bridges 1 and 2 that had been breached.
What makes the polar bear extremely frustrated is that the polar bear's fortress is built to face the opposite bank, but the protection behind it is extremely poor.
Therefore, other bridgehead fortresses were easily captured by imperial troops from behind.
This situation made the polar bear angry to death. You know, the polar bear Chita Fortress is much more powerful than other fortresses.
These huge fortress complexes, in addition to several meters thick reinforced concrete structural walls and roofs, also have several retractable turrets and dozens of support points;
Moreover, the fortress is also equipped with several 120mm heavy artillery with a range of 5 kilometers, four of which can rotate at all angles; these heavy artillery have all been destroyed in the early imperial fire preparations;
In addition, there are nearly 20 76mm rapid-fire guns, 45mm high-speed anti-tank guns, a dozen large-caliber heavy machine guns and a certain number of anti-aircraft guns;
At the front of the fortress, although there are no abnormal minefields, deep trenches, and high walls like the "Baikal Sacred Fortress", there are concrete bunkers equipped with machine guns;
Similarly, a large number of tunnels were built under the fortresses to connect the turret command centers and ammunition depots of individual fortresses;
The fortress also has a medical room and a certain number of garrison residences. It also has an electric lighting system to provide internal and external lighting to each unit.
Relying on the bridgehead in this way, the polar bear believed that it could withstand the Imperial Army's indiscriminate bombing of the fortress group for at least more than a month. However, it was easily taken down by the small spicy bombs that the polar bear did not care about.
The commander-in-chief, Major General Ta, was so angry that he almost died.
But it was useless for him to hold back his anger. As each bridgehead was quickly broken through, the battle soon turned into a street battle in the city.
Street fighting has many similarities with urban guerrilla warfare. Both are fought in urban streets and alleys, and are characterized by close combat. Fierce competition takes place over solid buildings, main streets, and commanding heights. The movement of the army is restricted, often resulting in many localized independent battles.…
.
From a strategic point of view, the two sides in street fighting mainly compete for urban energy, transportation, communication hubs and key departments such as command, military supplies, medical care, administrative agencies, and residential density points through close-to-hand combat.
From a tactical perspective, the most important feature of street fighting is the fight for the commanding heights. These commanding heights may be a high building, a rooftop, or a small hill. Whoever owns it can organize crossfire and control an area.
Large areas.
The purpose of war is to preserve oneself and destroy the enemy. Covert warfare is also a feature of street fighting.
Whether attacking or defending, you must make full use of the terrain and organize shooting firepower.
When the two opposing sides are evenly matched, it is more difficult to achieve a quick victory.
In addition to encirclement, hand-to-hand combat and other forms of combat, the attackers can also make full use of the climate environment and adopt means such as cutting off water, power, and blasting to kill the opponent and disintegrate the enemy forces.
Fortunately, the empire's combat power is unmatched by the polar bears and it is in a strong position. Otherwise, even if the town is captured, the price paid will be immeasurably huge.
In addition, nighttime also brings higher difficulty to street fighting. Polar bears hiding in the dark, whether they are ordinary people or polar bear soldiers, can use their energy to shoot in the dark.
How can we solve the resistance of stubborn hostile elements in the city without harming the civilians as much as possible? In response to this situation, Emperor Zhou Yu has the most detailed preparations and arrangements.
1. Regarding the equipment of street fighting troops, Zhou Yu has long developed weapons suitable for urban combat, such as light tanks, locust motorcycles, armored vehicles, etc. suitable for urban combat.
2. Establish a separate independent force for urban street fighting and carry out targeted training. Such as the Excalibur Team, the Special Forces and the Locust Force, etc.
3. Use psychological warfare to identify armed personnel hiding among ordinary people as soon as possible. Such as the imperial political and ideological propaganda team, etc.
To put it bluntly, urban street fighting means that the opponent is hidden in the city and uses the city as a fortress for hiding. However, the "constructors" of this fortress are usually ordinary people.
In order to prevent the soldiers from being attacked by fake civilians, Emperor Zhou Yu also issued another internal special order: "As long as they have weapons in their hands, regardless of the reason, regardless of the reason, regardless of gender, old or young, they will be killed." Because in Zhou Yu's case,
In my heart, the safety of the Imperial soldiers trumps everything else.
After this iron-blooded order was issued by the Empire's Northern Theater Command, the happiest people were the soldiers of the Empire's Locust Troops.
Because the bloodthirsty locust soldiers are at their core, and they are free to kill without any scruples.
What's more, in addition to the pleasure and honor of killing enemies, there are also very real bonuses waiting for everyone!
"The first group is responsible for capturing East 1st and 2nd Streets, where the polar bear's key departments are concentrated. In addition, we must seize the tallest building there, the Polar Bear Communication Hub Building, at all costs, and seize the commanding heights to form a cross-network firepower."
"The Second Regiment is responsible for East 3rd and 4th Streets, where enemy residents are concentrated."
"The third and fourth regiments are responsible for sweeping all the buildings in the entire street. If there is a man as tall as a wheel, they will be killed!" The person who was assigning the task was Chi Si Zhengzhuang, the commander of the Locust Japs Division. The order of the Imperial Army was in his hands.
When it came out of his mouth, it was abnormally bloody.
Not only him, but also Park Chang-hsing, commander of the Imperial Locust Troopers, gave orders to his subordinates as cold-bloodedly as the orders issued by Chi Si Zhengzhuang. However, they were responsible for West Street only.
Because the Polar Bear Bridgehead Fortress fell so quickly, the polar bears in the town were completely defenseless. Even the items that needed to be disposed of, as well as factory supplies, etc., had not had time to be processed, and they had to face the tidal wave of imperial offensives.
When encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave will win. In front of the mechanized imperial troops, the polar bears cannot gain the active advantage in hand-to-hand combat. Passive beatings are the inevitable result...
In this battle, the locust troops in the North Station Theater did not rob everything they saw like the locust soldiers in the southern theater. Instead, they took the rapid destruction of the enemy as their highest criterion.
The Polar Bear has a small number of cavalry units that counterattack the Imperial troops on the streets. However, in front of the Imperial troops with mechanized armored vehicles, the Polar Bear's counterattack is just an act of death.
The most unlucky ones are the polar bears who encounter the Locust Troops. The Locust Troops don't ask who you are, as long as you hit the muzzle, the machine guns on the three-wheeled motorcycles will serve you.
It is almost impossible for the cavalry to win local battles in complex cities. Even if these cavalry are the so-called elites of polar bears - Cossack cavalry, the ending will be just as miserable.
Because, in a city, it is no different than in an open prairie. The powerful impact of the cavalry cannot be exerted, and the only chance of showing up is to be beaten.
In the city, the most terrifying thing is the guerrillas and snipers. Often they kill you, but your comrades around you don’t know where the enemy is?!
Fortunately, the empire has strong advantages on these two points.
"Crack, crackle..." gunshots were heard in various streets and houses, and occasionally there were loud bangs from bombs. At the same time, there were loudspeakers on all the main streets.
The loudspeaker continued to advertise in Mandarin and polar bear dialect: "Fellow fellows, we are the imperial troops. As long as you stay at home, do not hold weapons, and do not attack imperial soldiers, you will always be safe..."
This still played some role. Some ordinary people who kept their peace, and some people who were originally remnants of the empire ruled by polar bears, stayed at home obediently after hearing the broadcast, waiting anxiously for their fate to be decided again.
Where to go.
Those remnants who knew that their ancestors were originally from the Empire chose to secretly report to the Emperor about those hidden polar bear soldiers. And the fate of those polar bear soldiers was, of course, death.
The street fighting that was originally thought to be difficult to deal with became less intense before dawn. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
