Due to the angle problem, the artillery shell fired by the regimental commander's command vehicle actually fell diagonally downward, which was very exciting. Why? There is an engine underneath.
The Empire's third-generation special armor-piercing bullets are simply a piece of cake to deal with carbon steel with a lot of impurities like polar bears.
The engine of the Polar Bear Sniper was hit hard by the shell, and the super bomb collided with the super large engine, causing a huge explosion. The power of this explosion was not something that the Sniper's armor could withstand.
"Bang..." With a loud sound that shook the earth and the mountains, the Polar Bear Sniper tank was lifted from its base, and the debris and debris shot out like meteors. A huge explosion shock wave brought sparks into the sky.
.Including the first regiment leader, the blood in the hearts of all the observed imperial soldiers was instantly ignited by the flames.
"You have to pay a price for attacking me." A group of command vehicle shooters clenched their fists heavily and muttered.
But everyone ignored him because there was still another target waiting for everyone.
But what everyone doesn't know is that there is a big shot hiding in this so-called sneak attacker tank. He is the commander of the 10th Polar Bear Division. This guy has a habit. Don't look at it, he is usually very annoying, but on a real battlefield
, but he is very "low-key" and does not use the division commander's car logo. This may also be because he is afraid of death!
But this time, it was useless for him to be afraid of death, because all the polar bears in the tank, including the 10th Division Commander himself, were decomposed into human meat and barbecued pork buns by the huge explosion power. This matter was decided after the war.
Only through comparison and the availability of the captives can we know.
After losing its division commander, the resistance of the 10th Polar Bear Tank Division became even worse. To make matters worse, as the tank battle progressed, the Empire's heavy artillery positions and air forces began to assist the two-wing attack, and the Empire's electronic warfare was also turned on.
.
Because the empire had activated electronic warfare, and because the reconnaissance plane it sent was shot down by an imperial fighter plane, and the fighter planes were seriously damaged and there were not many left, they did not dare to take off. Therefore, Han Xianxiang's eyes darkened at this time, and he was gone.
The source of intelligence relied solely on reports from the forward cavalry, and sometimes even the reconnaissance cavalry was shot dead by the Imperial Air Force.
Under such circumstances, Han Xianxiang was unable to obtain first-hand information from the front line, and was unable to make correct reactions and judgments.
Han Xianxiang, the polar bear commander who is familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War and is proficient in strategy, has a rough grasp of the general direction of the front line through the fragments of frontline intelligence and the depth of strikes by the Imperial Air Force and artillery fire.
No one from the 9th and 10th Tank Division, the most elite mobile force of the Polar Bears, sent by him, reported back information from the front line, but the sound of gunfire from the front line was getting closer and closer, proving that the mobile force he had sent had high hopes.
More bad luck than good.
The Imperial Army attacked from three sides, and the two wings advanced fiercely. Although they would not be able to reach the headquarters for a while, and the Imperial Army's true intention had not yet been exposed, he felt that he had to keep a hand in case anything happened.
If the other party is coming towards you and the bridge behind you, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, the cunning Han Xianxiang left the command of the front line to his deputy, took Dafu and others, and retreated to the east bridgehead in advance. He also euphemistically said: "Go to Hedong to coordinate reinforcements, and the battle at the west bridgehead is tight." But the polar bear.
Everyone in the headquarters knows that this is an obvious thing, so just run away with your tail between your legs.
There was a certain reason why Han Xianxiang took Dafu and the others away before escaping. Because in the Polar Bear Empire, Dafu and others are now Han Xianxiang's die-hard supporters. If Han Xianxiang wants to come, these people will not die!
Han Xianxiang's premonition was indeed correct. Shortly after he arrived at the Hedong Bridgehead, dark Imperial Air Force fighter planes appeared in the sky on both sides of the bridgehead. They carried out fierce and indiscriminate bombings along the bridgeheads on both sides, causing the bridgeheads on both sides to collapse.
Can’t rely on people….
Han Xianxiang, who had arrived at the Hedong Bridgehead, organized more than a dozen charges to plant bombs under the bridge, but they were all defeated by powerful aerial firepower.
At this time, Han Xianxiang fully realized that the ultimate goal of the imperial attack was the largest bridge in the defense line across both sides of the Angara River. Therefore, he immediately ordered the Hexi Command to immediately abandon the Hexi position and organize a retreat, and then implemented
Operation bridge bombing.
Unfortunately, because the empire had enabled electronic warfare, his orders could not pass through Hexi. And it did not last long. Even communications in Hedong were interrupted. Contact with the outside world could only rely on the primitive method of cavalry notification.
In fact, even if his telegram could successfully reach Hexi, Hexi would not be able to carry out the bridge bombing operation. Because the Imperial Air Force also carried out violent bombing on the bridgehead on the west side, bombing a wide gap between the Hexi bridgehead and the bridge.
Quarantine zone. Even the mobile artillery of the Polar Bear Emperor cannot get close enough to fire.
Han Xianxiang was unable to carry out the bridge bombing operation, but the imperial tank divisions on the other side were making rapid progress. After forcefully arranging the 9th Polar Bear Division tank division, they quickly advanced deep into the enemy's position. They did not focus on defeating the enemy's position.
, but with the ultimate goal of assaulting the bridgehead.
Without the obstruction of the enemy tank troops, and with the cover of imperial heavy artillery and air force firepower, the assault forces on both wings of the empire attacked very fast. Han Xianxiang's deputy could not react at all, and was quickly broken through by Hardan Battle and others.
Hardan and the others did not open a big hole. Instead, they concentrated their absolutely superior armor forces, opened a hole in the polar bear defense line, and quickly entered. At the beginning, the empire's reserve armored forces and infantry coordinated
The troops were able to keep up with the pace a little bit, but then they couldn't keep up with Hardan's fast pace at all.
This is a very dangerous move. You must know that although the tank troops can break through the enemy's turtle shell defense line, the logistics supply line will be cut off. Once the follow-up troops cannot open up the situation, the tank troops that break through will face running out of ammunition and food.
Absolutely terrible consequences.
But in order to protect the only lifeline - the bridge from being blown up, this kind of risk must be taken. What's more, Hardanbaatar and the others have absolute confidence that there will be no problem for the empire's follow-up troops to quickly defeat the enemy, even if it cannot be done in the shortest time.
Defeat the enemy within the time limit and open up a logistical supply line.
The reason why Zhang San had been using artillery groups and imperial air strikes against the polar bear defense line before was to knock out the enemy's heavy artillery, fire network, air force and mobile troops one by one, so as to lay the groundwork for the subsequent plan to seize the bridge. With today's situation
From the looks of things, it's definitely a wise move.
At this time, the pressure on the polar bears is extremely huge. Since the empire basically has no major battles on the front lines of Chita and Ulaanbaatar. Therefore, almost all the fighter planes on the fronts have gathered here, causing the empire's air forces to
, becoming the absolute master of the sky over Irkutsk.
In addition, after months of preparations, the Irkutsk Imperial Theater has an extremely abnormal artillery lineup, and the amount of artillery shells is also super abundant. Zhang San can leisurely and luxuriously carry out the main firepower points and main defense lines of the polar bear.
Indiscriminate bombing.
This cost-less approach made the Polar Bear Emperor miserable. Originally, their firepower was extremely poor, and their ammunition rations were even more scarce. Moreover, these so-called elite polar bear soldiers suffered from injuries, illness, homesickness, civil unrest, and long-term
The repression cannot be relaxed, and various negative factors affect it, and the confidence in resistance is very low.
After the Imperial Army and repeated bombings by land and air regardless of cost, the Polar Bear forward defense line looked like a huge turtle shell on the surface. In fact, it could be broken with just one knock. This is why Hardan and the others were able to quickly attack the depths of the defense line.
The direct cause….
However, in order to save the amount of ammunition, in addition to encountering enemy counterattacks, mecha troops, and artillery arrays, there were other minor threats to the tank troops. Hardan and the others ordered the troops to use the powerful armor of the tanks and the huge
The body was forced into the enemy's position instead of using machine guns and cannons to clear the way.
Not to mention, this method is very effective and saves Hardan and the others a lot of ammunition. However, the only thing that consumes a lot of money is fuel.
But since the Imperial Air Force Shi Lang and the Imperial Tank Army Chu Yu invented small tricks such as auxiliary fuel tanks during the confrontation between the Empire's red and blue forces, the Empire's Tank Army and Air Force gradually followed suit, and it even became a routine, and everyone could not travel.
With the auxiliary fuel tank etc., it feels very unreliable.
Hardan and the others were no exception. In the early long-distance battles, everyone used the auxiliary fuel tanks hanging on the back of the tanks. It was not until hand-to-hand combat or when the auxiliary fuel tanks ran out of fuel that they would use the real main engine fuel tanks.
This allowed the tank to almost double the amount of fuel it produced.
With confidence, Hardan and other tank groups ran rampant on the enemy's position without any scruples.
At first, the polar bear infantry tried to fight back, but after facing countless failures, the infantry no longer dared to die. If they had to die, they would just carry the explosive packs and grenades and "go home together." But this way of thinking is not right.
As far as their tanks are concerned, it is just a joke.
The Imperial Air Force, like Hardan and others, also has spare fuel tanks, so it stays in the air for a long time, which makes the polar bear troops unable to lift their heads. Not to mention the charge to blow up the bridge, even the counterattack is quite weak. Because, in addition to being bombed in the early stage,
The polar bear's frontline anti-aircraft firepower is not much in the first place, and it is not a threat to the flexible imperial warfare organization.
Under the command of Hardan, a fierce man, their division rushed all the way. With the strong style of the polar bear troops who had no power to fight back, they were the first to arrive at the west bridgehead. But they did not stop, but passed the bridge and headed east on the opposite bank.
