"Commander Rohm, the enemy's main six divisions are pushing forward all the way."
"Their attack arrows are six armored battalions equipped with M60A3. In terms of weapon performance, they are really much better than our Type 59 tanks."
"The M60A3 is considered to be the best of the second-generation tanks. It has better firepower and protection than the Type 59, and its fire control and information equipment are several steps ahead. Our Type 59 can only be regarded as a World War II
The next generation of tanks has absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on attack."
"We must think of a tactical solution. If the enemy attacks the city, we will attack the enemy's flanks."
For the armed personnel of the legion defending the city of Merida for the second time, the pressure of this second battle was greater than the first time. The first time, the legion commander came to the front line in person, and everyone had no idea how powerful the enemy was.
, only after the fight did I realize how scared I was.
But now that the enemy has brought all the veterans out for a decisive battle, the senior officers of the legion who have experienced greatness are shrinking back, fearing that if they cannot win, they will enter a brutal battle of manpower consumption.
"All troops must obey orders and must not retreat when it is time to attack. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be shot on the spot."
Under heavy pressure, Rohm, the commander of the front army, could only act ruthlessly. He personally took charge of his direct lineage's 2nd Guards Regiment. This regiment of only over 5,000 people was the only mobile force in the entire battle.
The drone was responsible for reconnaissance, and soon determined that the enemy's forward troops were approaching 30 kilometers outside the city of Merida. Rom immediately led his three armored battalions to set off and kill the independent third division on the enemy's flank.
The enemy's six divisions were spread out, and the width of the battle line was more than 100 kilometers. The Roma side had a slight advantage in reconnaissance. The time difference before the enemy determined his position was only about half an hour to an hour.
Considering that the enemy has strong troops and advanced equipment, Rohm's strategy is very simple. Dozens of propeller fighter jets from the Air Force on standby will fly first, and then the independent artillery regiment will bomb the enemy's assembly points. Take advantage of the enemy's confusion to get in and get a vote and leave.
.Finally retreated under the cover of artillery fire.
To put it bluntly, it is to engage in raids and disturbances. The enemy is determined not to be able to concentrate on the siege. From time to time, M7 tactical ballistic missiles are used to decapitate the enemy's headquarters and hold them until the Guards Regiment arrives to support them.
Once it is determined that the enemy has entered your attack range, the battle begins immediately.
Rohm's planes and heavy artillery bombarded them continuously, and the three armored battalions rushed towards the enemy's flank with a desperate mentality. Rohm was the commander, and he led the regimental artillery battalion to take command closely behind the three armored battalions.
In the armored command vehicle, battle information was sent back from the front-line tank platoon every minute and every second. Seeing that the battle lines of the two warring parties were about to overlap, Rohm's nervous palms became sweaty.
Rohm and the entire Mexican army hope to get off to a good start. Regardless of the result, they should at least let their opponents know that they are not easy to mess with. This will give them an advantage in the tough battle ahead.
Isn't victory just the accumulation of a little advantage?
On the staff's electronic map, red dots of our own were already embedded in the enemy's fire range. It was supposed that there would have been an exchange of fire. But for three full minutes, the dozen or so tank platoons on the front line showed no reaction at all.
Beads of sweat broke out on the nervous foreheads of the regimental staff. He even went beyond the battalion and company levels to directly ask the platoon-level officers at the front about the battle situation. As a result, the low-ranking officers at the front all said that there was only one person on the enemy's front.
Outside the crater, we saw nothing.
What?
Could it be a trap?
Could it be that the enemy wants to lure us over and then surround us?
Or is there some deeper conspiracy waiting for our main three armored battalions?
Ten minutes later, there was still no sign of any exchange of fire on the front line. The tank platoon on the front line reported back that 'the enemy's troops seem to be retreating, and we can't catch up.'
Some tank crews even expressed optimism: "When we first saw the enemy, we could hit them by throwing a grenade. When we grabbed the grenade, we found that we needed a machine gun to hit them. But we set up the machine gun and the tank gun."
I can't even catch up with the enemy's back.'
Faced with optimism on the front line, Rohm remained cautious as a commander. He asked the drone reconnaissance unit, "Is the enemy really retreating?"
The small drones equipped by the Mexican front army have been keeping an eye on the front line. However, considering that the enemy is also equipped with individual anti-aircraft missiles, naturally they cannot be bold enough to rush in and die. But now that the commander is asking, he can only go and watch to die.
After another ten minutes, the investigators finally gave conclusive information - the enemy was indeed retreating, but the retreat was quite orderly. The previous air strikes and artillery bombardments did not cause much damage or confusion to the enemy. It seemed that the enemy had already prepared the retreat.
Prepare to retreat.
Were you prepared to retreat long ago? You should turn around and run as soon as you encounter an attack. Otherwise, how could you be so agile?
The cautious Rohm immediately felt that there was something wrong with this. He was already very satisfied with the current situation. As long as the enemy retreated, it would be fine. He was determined not to be fooled by the enemy's temptation to go deeper. If the enemy retreats, we will retreat too.
Hulala's three main armored battalions circled in front of the enemy, then immediately ran away and came back. The first round between the two sides was basically a zero-to-zero draw.
No one suffers!
On the other side, Suzano looked at the senior officers of the Third Independent Division under him with a livid face. He squeezed out a sentence through his teeth and asked sternly: "Are you just marching when you are fighting?"
The commander of the Third Independent Division straightened his back, pointed at a sand table in front of Suzano and said: "Your Excellency, we are executing the tactic of luring the enemy deep in. The soldiers on the front line have perfectly executed the settings set by our division staff.
It’s a plan, but the enemy commander is too smart.”
"You bastards still dare to lie to me? I clearly ordered a direct attack, so when did I ask you to set up an ambush to lure the enemy? At the airport where our air force was destroyed, the perception of the situation on the front line was slow, how could it be possible?
Setting up an ambush in advance? Do you think I’m stupid?”
Suzano suddenly became furious and scolded his group of officers for deceiving him. But these field commanders insisted one by one that it was an ambush and it just failed.
"Boss Suzano, we have found out that the person facing us is the Second Guards Regiment of the Aurora Legion. Their leader Rom is a powerful general."
"Yes, that's right. Boss, you don't know something. Rom is the first legion member to follow Victor Hugo. It is said that he joined the legion in New York. This kind of person must not be underestimated."
"Such a legion veteran is definitely not easy to deal with. Today's test is indeed extraordinary. We must treat him with caution."
Faced with the nonsense of a bunch of high-ranking officers, Suzano found that he couldn't speak to these bastards. What do you mean by 'treating with caution'? These guys were clearly trying to preserve their power. They didn't work hard and just refused to fight to the death.
"Shut up, everyone! I don't care how careful you are with me? Then continue to attack me. You must exchange fire with the enemy and overwhelm the opponent with tons of firepower." Suzano said in a stern tone as his face turned black.
: "Whoever dares to play tricks on me again, I will shoot him!"
The power was overwhelming, and everyone was as silent as a cicada.
