super god warlord

Hearing that the Hualan Army had built a fortification group on the occupied land, and it seemed that they would not leave. Sterling felt that his anger was about to explode.Originally planned to join forces with the Japanese kingdom to capture the Qiumen Oilfield for their own use, but they did not expect to lose a lot of rice by stealing chickens. Instead, most of the Second Baku Oilfield fell into the hands of Hualan Kingdom.Now part of the opponent's land occupied by one's own side has been robbed back, and a lot of his own land has been lost instead.The Hualan Kingdom had invaded the territory of the Western Continent and severely weakened the Red Alliance, which made him worried.

Sterling didn't know at this time that the bad luck was far from over.Just when the attention of the Red Coalition Army turned to the front line of Kazan and prepared for a sudden attack by the opponent with heavy troops, the Fifth Air Force had quietly stationed in the field military airport in Novorossiysk, followed by Zhang Shaozeng and him. The airborne division who has been idle for more than half a year.

In the middle of the night of June [-], all four bomber divisions of the Hualan Army on the western front were dispatched to attack the Red Alliance garrisons in Perekop, Armeniansk, Simferopol, and Sevastopol respectively. The weak navy in the port of Sevastopol did not let go.

There was no psychological preparation in advance for the sudden attack that the Red Alliance Army encountered. There was a sudden chaos on the radio channel, and it was difficult for the various troops to form a joint force because they were not under the same leadership.Taking advantage of the chaos of the Red Allied Forces, the Fifth Air Force dispatched at night and dropped the airborne division led by Zhang Shaozeng in the city of Belekpu.

The second brigade was put into the city first, and the brigade commander Peng Qingzong immediately led the troops to seize various strategic locations and commanding heights in the city, and used small-caliber artillery to carry out spot kills on the Red Union military targets in the city.The first to suffer was the barracks of the Red Allied Army. There was originally a division of the garrison there, but it was knocked out by the dense shells.

The Red Coalition Army had never encountered airborne troops, and it was difficult to see in the dark, and with the strong firepower of the paratroopers, they thought it was a large army from the other side entering the city.A division of the Red Coalition Army retreated in a hurry without knowing the enemy or us, and handed over the city to the Hualan Army.

The first thousand and 140 seventh chapters stick to the isthmus

The various units of the airborne division landed one after another, and Zhang Shaozeng immediately ordered the deployment of defenses. The order received by the whole division was to stick to Perekop for five days to buy time for the large forces to attack.At the same time as the airborne division attacked, the Hualan Army also began to attack. The No. 12 Army led by Xiong Chengji used civilian boats to suddenly cross the Kerch Strait and landed on the land of the Crimean Peninsula.

In the early morning of the next day, when Sterling received the news, he immediately understood the Hualan Army's intentions. They wanted to seize the Crimean Peninsula and control the Black Sea.

The Crimean Peninsula is bordered by the Black Sea to the west and south, the Sea of ​​Azov to the northeast, and the Karginit Bay to the west. It is only connected to the mainland by the Perekop Isthmus, which is eight kilometers wide.Because the diamond-shaped Crimea peninsula penetrates deep into the center of the Black Sea, making naval activities very convenient, the Crimea Peninsula is also known as the key to the Black Sea.

As a famous military port, Sevastopol has always been the home port of the Black Sea Fleet of the Rakshasa Empire in history, and has an important position in the history of the Rakshasa navy.After the establishment of the Red Federation, although the home port of the Black Sea Fleet of the Red Navy was changed to Odessa due to reasons such as safety and the small tonnage of naval ships, the location here is still very important.It can be said that the Red Federation holds the Crimean Peninsula, and can share the Black Sea command equally with the Ottoman Republic, which holds the Dardanelles. Once it is lost, the Black Sea Fleet of Odessa will be reduced to a coastal defense fleet. Let the opponent attack without being able to fight back.

Sterling naturally knows the importance of the Crimean Peninsula, so he has always stationed heavy troops here.However, the strength of the Red Coalition Army has been stretched recently, especially in the retreat on the eastern defense line, so he was forced to draw troops from the Crimean Peninsula to supplement the front line.

Sterling originally thought that this was just a stopgap measure. As long as the front line was stabilized, he would withdraw his troops or transfer troops from other directions to garrison, but unexpectedly, the Hualan Army took advantage of it.When Zhang Shaozeng led the paratrooper division to get stuck on the Perekop Isthmus, only about 30 troops in the Crimea Peninsula were still in the original defense zone.

After the Perekop Isthmus was blocked by the airborne division, the Red Coalition Army on the Crimean Peninsula lost support. They could only rely on their existing forces to resist steadily, which made it difficult for the Red Coalition Army to hold every position.However, the Hualan army came across the sea continuously, and transported a large number of troops and materials to the designated place through the Kerch Strait. Relying on the advantages in numbers and equipment, the Hualan army captured Simferopol in one fell swoop, and headed towards Sevastopol. Seoul marches.

At this time, Sterling was in a hurry. He immediately deployed the No.19 Army from the Ukraine area to advance eastward and launched a counterattack on the Perekop Isthmus. The 15 Red Allied Forces launched an offensive, but there were only more than 1 paratroopers holding their positions.

In addition to the small number, the heavy weapons of the paratroopers are also relatively scarce.Paratroopers are born to be surrounded. In addition to this famous saying of the Hualan Paratrooper Division, there is another saying that paratroopers are born to be light infantry.If such a team without large-caliber artillery wants to take on the task of holding its position, the only thing it can rely on is civil engineering.

Regarding this point, Zhang Shaozeng was very clear. After the airborne Berekpu City, he immediately announced the order to build a defense line.The paratrooper division immediately recruited the Raksha people in the city and built a large number of positions around the city.

The Fifth Air Force was not idle either. As the terrain around the Perekop Isthmus was rugged and there was no place to build an airport, Air Force transport planes still used airdrops to replenish them with ammunition and food.It's a pity that because of the narrow terrain, the plane couldn't land, and the large-caliber artillery could not be transported with the plane, so the paratroopers supplemented some small-caliber mountain guns or anti-aircraft guns.

For such a situation, Zhang Shao had been prepared for a long time. Among the materials he requested, there was a long list of mines, including anti-infantry jump mines, broad knife mines, magnetic mines, and anti-tank mines.Zhang Shao once asked the soldiers to do it themselves, and laid a large number of landmines in an area as long as [-] kilometers in front of the position.These mines are intermingled, with infantry mines and anti-tank mines mixed.

Such an arrangement will make it difficult for the Red Allied Forces to break through. If tanks are used to advance blindly, they will be easily destroyed by anti-tank mines, and if infantry are allowed to demolish anti-tank mines, they will be easily killed by infantry mines.Coupled with the occasional sneak attack by the paratroopers with artillery fire, it is not so easy to pass through this minefield without a safe path.

The menacing Red Allied Army soon felt the strangeness. When a squad of Red Allied soldiers was smashed into pieces by a broadsword thunder, everyone was shocked. Many soldiers of the No.19 Army saw this scene with their own eyes. Several recruits who had never been on the battlefield fainted on the spot. Since then, many Red Army soldiers have suffered from landmine phobia. syncope.

The Red Coalition Army planned to send infantry to clear the mines, but was quickly attacked by the artillery of the Paratrooper Division, and many people were lost.Although the artillery of the Red Coalition Army quickly suppressed the artillery of the Red Coalition Army, the losses of the infantry were irreparable.Many infantrymen with experience in demining were killed, and Voroshilov, who was in charge of the command, immediately ordered new troops to be dispatched to detect mines.Each of them was given a mine-detecting rod. Once the needle touches a hard object underground, it may be a landmine.When the time comes, you can see the landmines when you push through the soil layer.

However, magnetic landmines do not have such a good temper. The rifles carried by the soldiers and the helmets on their heads are too magnetic. When the infantry approaches within one meter, the landmines will explode due to the strong metal reaction, which cannot be tolerated at all. Red Union soldiers clearing mines.

The Red Coalition Army didn't know the working principle of magnetic landmines at all, so they couldn't prevent them. They just knew that some landmines would explode without being triggered.The work of mine detection was difficult to carry on, and the soldiers of the Red Alliance Army even turned pale when they talked about thunder.

The senior leaders of the Red Coalition Army were in a hurry, and Sterling had to replace Tuvachevski with the position of commander.Facing the powerful minefields, Tuvacevsky had his own ideas. He concentrated the artillery of the whole army and implemented a barrage advance tactic.It's just that the goal of the barrage advance this time is not to cover the infantry's charge, but to use the explosion of the shells to detonate the various landmines that were planted.

Tuvachevsky's method was very effective. Although the artillery shells of the Red Coalition Army were severely consumed, they quickly opened a safe passage with a width of two kilometers in front of the Perekop Isthmus.Although sporadic landmines that slipped through the net would still cause damage to the Red Coalition Army, it was irrelevant, and the Red Coalition Army was able to launch an offensive operation against the paratrooper division.

Chapter 140 and Eight Weaknesses of Paratroopers

Zhang Shao once saw that his minefield was easily destroyed, and he was secretly shocked by the intelligence of the opposing commander. Fortunately, while the mine was being laid, he did not relax the construction of the position. The entire Perekop Isthmus was covered with a depth of ten kilometers. The position is covered.

This position is very well built. Not only are there various machine guns and artillery forts in the seven lines of defense, but also all kinds of ammunition stations, bomb defense holes, dressing stations and other facilities.Moreover, the seven lines of defense are all penetrated by traffic trenches, which can be easily used for defense with mobile forces.In front of the seven lines of defense are three anti-tank trenches and three barbed wire fences, which are enough to block all the mainstream equipment of the Red Coalition Army.

Marshal Tukhachevsky is a shrewd soldier, known as the "Red Napoleon". He knew that in such a narrow frontal battlefield, the only way to encounter such a tight defense was to break it with force.Marshal Tukhachevsky is also a commander who cherishes the lives of soldiers. He would rather spend more ammunition than fill it with human life. In this regard, he is the exact opposite of Voroshilov.

When he found that the opponent's defense was tight, Tukhachevsky immediately mobilized all artillery, and used more than 150 artillery pieces to violently bombard the position.The paratrooper division did not have heavy artillery, so they could only hide in the position and endure silently. Fortunately, using a large amount of quick-drying cement and steel bars dropped by air, the paratrooper division built a strong dome anti-gun hole.This kind of anti-blasting hole is much stronger than the temporary roof made of logs. At least the [-]mm caliber artillery with the largest caliber of the Red Army is difficult to penetrate.

Everyone squatted in the anti-blasting hole, covered their ears and opened their mouths wide, enduring the fierce shelling from the other side.The bombardment went on for an hour like purgatory, and Peng Qingzong, who was stationed in the forward position, felt that his head was about to explode.A few minutes after the shelling, he still felt dizzy, but now was not the time to rest, the infantry rushed after the sound of the shelling, and Peng Qingzong rushed out of the shelling hole without saying a word.

As the elite second only to the special forces, the paratrooper division is full of veterans, and they all understand what it means to end the bombardment.The artillery of the Red Allied Army had just stopped, and the soldiers rushed into the trenches carrying their equipment, ready to attack the opponent's assault troops.

Peng Qingzong rushed into the trench quickly, and he was taken aback by what he saw.The damage to the trench was relatively minor. After all, both walls of the trench were reinforced. Not only steel pipes were used as pillars, but some wooden planks were also arranged for stability. However, the anti-tank trenches and barbed wire fences in front of the positions suffered. .

Because these places were the focus of shelling, the persecution was particularly severe.The three barbed wire fences that were originally neat and uniform have now become a post-earthquake scene. The steel columns used for reinforcement are swaying here and there.The anti-tank trenches that were originally five meters deep and four meters wide have now become small shallow pits half a meter deep, which even infantry can easily climb over.

Peng Qingzong straightened his military cap, secretly worried in his heart, he knew that today's battle would be difficult.The opponent is a master and knows how to use artillery to pave the way forward. Since the opponent is willing to spend such a large amount of money on artillery preparations, the next attack must be like a storm.

His guess was right, and soon under the cover of more than 70 T18 tanks, the Red Army soldiers of the brigade launched an attack.This is the first time that the Red Army has used the combat method of infantry and tank coordination, but it seems that it is quite skillful in using it, and it is obviously commanded by an expert.

Peng Qingzong narrowed his eyes and said to the paratroopers beside him, "Order the anti-tank guns to enter the position."

"Understood." Not long after the paratrooper left, groups of soldiers carrying thick cannon barrels came up from the rear for reinforcements.Because they were afraid of being destroyed by the artillery of the Red Coalition Army, the anti-tank troops were all deployed in the rear, and now they entered the front line after receiving the order.

The paratroopers were busy for a while, installing the thick barrel on the slender tripod. This is the unique anti-tank weapon of the Hualan Army, the [-]mm recoilless gun.More than fifty recoilless guns were installed, waiting for the approach of the Red Alliance tanks.

The T17 tank with a maximum speed of only 18 kilometers per hour staggered forward. This imitation of the Gallic FT17 Renault tank during the World War was already behind the times, but now it is the best choice for the Red Union.Although these tanks are not very satisfactory, at least they can provide cover for infantry, and at the same time provide mobile artillery and machine gun fire for their own side while resisting the enemy's machine gun fire.

The tank soldiers of the Red Allied Army were full of ambition, and drove their tanks towards the paratrooper division.They had been told that in front of them were paratroopers with only light weapons, and they could all be wiped out with a single charge.In fact, Marshal Tukhachevsky also thought so. Although paratroopers are still a new thing, senior military officers from various countries have demonstrated.

The reason why countries have been slow to organize this arm is because they cannot carry heavy weapons.An army doomed to be surrounded, but without heavy artillery and tanks, is a deadly combination in this age of increasing emphasis on firepower.In today's world, the Hualan Army is the only one that has formed a paratrooper unit and has actual combat experience. These battle examples were also obtained when fighting against the country. Facing Hualan's domestic warlords who lack artillery fire, these battle examples are not Not available for reference.

In fact, Marshal Tukhachevsky was also secretly surprised when he heard that the Hualan Army sent paratroopers to cut off the Crimean Peninsula's external links in one fell swoop.He was amazed at the paratroopers' elusive appearance, and they landed behind the enemy's rear without warning, cutting off the main traffic route by surprise.I was also amazed at the Hualan Army's determination to allow such an army to go deep into the enemy's rear and hold on to a position that seemed impossible to hold.

Whether it is admiring the magic of the paratroopers or the mistakes of the Hualan Army, Tukhachevsky must eliminate this force in the shortest possible time.He knew very well in his heart that even if the paratroopers were easily wiped out, the strategic impact of cutting off the traffic arteries was still great.

The Crimean Peninsula has been cut off from traffic, and the morale of the troops stationed there will be greatly affected. If the communication line cannot be opened in a short time and reinforcements are sent there, the Crimean Peninsula is likely to be directly conquered by the opponent.At that time, even if the paratroopers are eliminated, it will not help.

It is precisely because he knows the importance of the Perekop Isthmus that Marshal Tukhachevsky will do his best to eliminate the paratroopers in the shortest possible time.At the beginning of the battle, the artillery of the Red Coalition Army carried out fire coverage at the fastest speed, and did not give up until all the barrels were turned red and had to stop.Immediately afterwards, two tank regiments covered an infantry division and launched an attack, intending to test the opponent's firepower first.

The first thousand and 140 nine chapters of the triangular army thorn

"Fire." Peng Qingzong quickly let the other party know that what they were facing was definitely not a soft persimmon.The recoilless guns fired one after another, hitting the T1000 tanks at a distance of 18 meters.How can a light tank with a front armor of only 16mm resist a 100mm caliber shell? When the shell of the recoilless gun hits the armor of the tank, because of the excessive power, the shell actually passed directly through the front armor and caused an explosion inside the tank .The full charge exploded with great power. As a result, the weak tank was completely exploded and became a radioactive structure like a blooming chrysanthemum. The infantry were dumbfounded.

Seven or eight tanks in succession were smashed into brilliant chrysanthemums, and the tank soldiers among them had no flesh and bones. The Red Army soldiers were in a daze for a while.They never knew that the originally powerful tank would be abused so badly.The Red Union soldiers behind quickly fired at the Hualan army's position, hoping to suppress the opponent's firepower, but they were quickly shot by dozens of Type [-] machine guns, and they were killed and injured.

The soldiers of the Red Alliance Army were not afraid of death, and even though they suffered heavy casualties, they continued to attack without giving in.Seeing the strong firepower of the paratrooper division, instead of withdrawing the attacking troops, Marshal Tukhachevsky sent two additional infantry divisions up as support for the rear team.

Marshal Tukhachevsky knew very well that the opponent might have excellent weapons, but the number would never be large.Instead of slowly using up fueling tactics to consume the opponent's ammunition, it is better to use echelon forces to continuously attack and approach the opponent for melee combat, so that the disadvantage of the opponent's small number of people will be fully exposed.

This judgment was absolutely correct. The political commissars held tin horns in their hands and launched the attack together with the soldiers. On the way of charging, they still loudly boosted morale and urged the soldiers to speed up. "Comrades, soldiers of the Red Alliance Army, the vicious enemy has set foot on our land and embezzled our property. In order to defend the motherland, defend the Red Alliance and defend our hometown, follow me." The agitation of these political commissars was very Effectively, under the leadership of these political commissars, the soldiers of the Red Alliance Army lowered their heads and rushed to the Hualan Army's position.

The soldiers of the Red Coalition Army in front fell down, and the people behind them went up again. The soldiers died in groups on the road of attack, but they won the opportunity for the comrades in the back. Seeing the attacking troops of the Red Coalition Army getting closer , Peng Qingzong's head was covered with sweat.

The first batch of Red Alliance Army tanks that launched the attack have been completely destroyed, and now the Red Alliance Army soldiers are just paving the way for the attack with their flesh and blood.Those recoilless guns also turned around and switched to shrapnel shells to shoot at the soldiers of the Red Alliance Army. Unfortunately, even if the recoilless guns with low ballistics used shrapnel shells, the damage to the infantry was limited, and it was not enough to stop the opponent's attack.

The barrels of the machine guns of the Hualan Army on the ground were all red, and after they were replaced with new barrels, the new barrels were red again before the old barrels had cooled down.Seeing that the machine gun had no barrel to use, some soldiers had an idea, unbuttoned their pants and urinated on the machine gun to cool the machine gun with urine.Seeing the white smoke rising from the gun barrel, although the smell was really disgusting, but the barrel was cold after all, they picked up the machine gun and started shooting happily.

The Red Coalition Army had already been dispatched in the fifth wave. Seeing the densely packed corpses in front of the Hualan Army's position, which almost turned the ground into a grayish gray, Tuvacevsky also felt a heavy heart.However, in this kind of battle, persistence is victory. Sometimes it only takes a little more persistence to see the dawn of victory, and now the Red Alliance soldiers charging at the forefront are less than 100 meters away from the Hualan Army's position.

There was a muffled sound, and dozens of grenade launchers were triggered almost simultaneously. The dense grenades were fired at the Red Alliance Army. The explosion threw hundreds of Red Alliance Army soldiers into the air, but this could not stop the opponent's charge.

The soldiers of the Red Army seemed to be insensitive machines, and the death of their companions could not affect their emotions at all. They knew how to charge forward and charge again until the end of their lives.The political commissars also suffered heavy losses, but it was such a group of people that boosted the morale of the entire army and allowed those soldiers to fight without risking their lives.

Major General Peng Qingzong frowned. He knew that he had to attack immediately. If he was pressed in the trench by the opponent, the Hualan Army would be very passive.He picked up the semi-automatic rifle of a sacrificial soldier and shouted loudly: "You can't let the red-haired man be inferior, everyone follow me." The ranks of the Red Army.
