Chapter 748 Flash 8
The hot wind is blowing on the face, making the air more and more scorched.
When the northern hemisphere was still in the wind and snow, the Los Angeles headquarters was already busy, and everyone was sweating on their foreheads. In addition to the climate, it was also because the British Expeditionary Force that should have continued to go south instead of suddenly making a detour in Albuquerque!
Standing in front of the situation map, Jiang Tianxiu, who was transferred to assist in the North American war zone, was more shocked in addition to worrying. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Sun Jiugong standing quietly by the window and looking at the brightly lit wharf outside. Only these staff officers understood that the seemingly messy arrow on the map represented What is it?
This is a typical Sun Jiugong combat plan.
Bold, fast, decisive and give full play to the fast and fierce armor advantages of the Imperial Army.
From the initial paper plan to the goal of the midway, and now the victory is close at hand, the imperial army lieutenant general, with his solid theoretical skills of the armored forces, is about to complete an unprecedented siege and annihilation battle.
With 2 armored divisions and 2 infantry divisions as the core, up to 10 armored regiments were invested at a time, with a total of more than 1,300 tanks and armored vehicles, accounting for almost half of the imperial armored forces over the years!
The handwriting can be regarded as the best of the war so far.
However, the war not only depends on who invests a lot, but also depends on whether the investment is effective. He saw the advantages of many deserts in the southwestern United States, which are suitable for tank troops to fight. He also saw the barrier punishment of the Rio Grande, so he boldly took out the new army of airborne troops and decisively from Mexico. The airdrop was dropped to Albuquerque, nearly 400 kilometers away.
This is boldness. A light airborne battalion will certainly be naturally ignored in the hands of others, but Sun Jiugong has grasped their role. From now on, this is bold and extremely successful. Although the troops are small and the firepower is weak, he is at a loss and inexperienced, facing the empty air of his first appearance. In front of the U.S. military, who didn't even know how to fight back, they unexpectedly grabbed the vital bridge, making it impossible for the enemy to blow up the bridge to survive. It also cut off Carl and Pershing, and more than a million people were surrounded.
But everyone knows that it is still very difficult to defend the bridge under the eyes of two U.S. infantry divisions by relying on a reinforced battalion alone. The combat effectiveness of the U.S. military is poor, but at this moment when it comes to the survival of more than a million partners, the mud bodhisattva will have three points of fire, so how fast the armored forces can reach the support more The key.
In addition to serving as the first armored division and the first infantry division to support the arrow, other armored regiments are also taking advantage of the advantages of tanks to cooperate with the infantry to block and cut the U.S. troops in Arizona, in order not to prevent the other party from withdrawing quickly and escape across the river.
Capture the key points with a sudden airborne landing, cooperate with the powerful ground tank troops to quickly divide the encirclement, and surround more than 1.5 million enemy troops! Even if there is no bottom of the Northwest Victory, this battle is enough to lay the foundation for his reputation.
But just as the victory was about to arrive and a generation of famous generals were about to be born a few hours later, an unexpected army disrupted the deployment.
Allenby, British North American Expeditionary Force!
Looking at the port of Los Angeles, which was also non-stop in the middle of the night, the cigarette in Sun Jiugong's hand became shorter little by little.
After arriving in the United States from Allen's ratio and reorganized into an expeditionary force through Russia, he has been paying attention to this force, not that he is afraid of this force, but because this force is obviously more effective than the new recruits in the United States at this moment.
However, Pershing's reaction speed this time was indeed a little faster than he expected.
Because according to intelligence, the British expeditionary force should have gone all the way south to Texas or New Mexico along the farther Texas Railway, but it didn't expect that Pershing, who had experienced the fiasco of Panama, changed a lot after coming back. After seeing that he was pointing his finger at Albuquerque, he was willing to give up the south that needed more rescue. Fang, let a full army take a detour and stay there!
Coincidentally, he also happened to carry out the first airborne operation in history against Albuquerque, which is equivalent to sending the Ninth Secret Service Regiment to Allenby's mouth. After a big loss, he must not be so easy to deal with this time. What's more, according to the investigation, he still has 10,000 cavalry and no less than 60. A British Type C medium tank.
Although the C tank is not the best tank in Britain, it is not enough to see in front of the strong cheetahs and Siberian tigers, but it has enough lethality for the infantry, because it is equipped with 4 7.7mm Lewis machine guns, and the armor is also very thick, with a full weight of more than 20 tons. Even the 12.7mm Viper machine gun is difficult. Drill through.
This makes the problem difficult all of a sudden.
Although there is another trick on my side at the last minute, that is, to take the initiative to blow up the bridge, which can also complete the encirclement of Carl's troops, after blowing up the bridge, it is very difficult for the armored forces to continue to penetrate into New Mexico.
Famous generals also need the assistance of the Iron-blooded Division. I'm afraid it's a joke that there is no famous ace army general, so now the test is whether the group of nine-headed birds can be dragged to the arrival of the support force!
Sun Jiugong extinguished the cigarette butt and walked to the map: "How long will it take?"
"Sgt. Yang has let the armored vehicle go first." Jiang Tianxiu looked at his watch and said calmly, "It will take about two and a half hours to arrive!"
"Two and a half hours!!"
=======“Boom.”
The shell exploded not far from Yao Ge and San Pang, and the explosion made the dust rush to their faces, almost blocking their mouths and noses.
Through the firelight, they saw that three C-type tanks were slowly coming to the hotel in a row, and the dense British troops behind the tanks were constantly rushing to the hotel.
Compared with the unruly U.S. military when charging before, the British army looks much more old and hot. Most of them lean against street walls, or hide behind tanks, using thick steel as a cover, making Yao Ge and everyone grit their teeth and helpless.
"Jiang Hai!"
The company shouted, and Jiang Hai, the thrower, quickly loaded the rocket and crawled out of the dilapidated door on the first floor of the hotel. After climbing a few steps, he suddenly suddenly burst up and skillfully dodged a string of bullets. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the tank machine gun aimed at the two wings, he quickly aimed at the first C tank.
An orange color cut through the darkness, and the rockets penetrated the front armor of the tank like lightning. A violent explosion occurred from the inside, and the small rotating machine gun tower was lifted at once.
After completing the mission, Jiang Hai was just about to return, but the machine gun on the left side of the second tank had been turned around. Sanpang shouted that it was not good to aim at the machine gun tower and slammed. While shooting a series of Mars on it, the British machine gun also sounded.
"Dad""
The bullet chased Jiang Hai. Seeing that he was about to run back to the restaurant, a bullet pierced his thigh fiercely, and the blood suddenly flew so that he could not move.
"Machine gun, cover me!"
"Grenade!"
The grenade quickly flew out of the restaurant and exploded around the tank, followed by explosion and machine gun cover. The company commander and a comrade-in-arms quickly rushed out of the building, grabbed Jiang Hai's clothes and dragged him in.
"Bullets, who still has bullets!"
San Pang shouted loudly that there was only one drum left for his machine gun. Although he carried three times as much ammunition when he set out, it was still too few in front of tens of thousands of British and American troops.
"Dad""
A string of bullets were shot from the tank bypassing the damaged predecessor, smashing the second-floor wall where Sanpang and Yao Ge were hiding. After a moment, the whole room was in a mess as if they had been gnawed by countless wild dogs.
"Behind, the enemy is coming from behind!"
"I'll do your mother!" San Pang took a drum from his comrade-in-arms's hand, installed it, got up, and aimed at the British army's fierce shooting from the back door. At this time, the sound of horses' hoofs made Yao Ge and everyone's hearts shrank.
"Ksars!"
"You son of a bitch, the British charge with cavalry!"
The U.S. military has also sent cavalry just now, but the number is not large. They just want to use the speed to see if there is a chance to approach quickly, but Allenby is different. He sent a full thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry, dense British cavalry and the British infantry behind them rushed to the hotel along the streets behind them. !
"Boom."
A British cavalryman lay on the horse. After avoiding the machine gun, he quickly rushed to the back door of the hotel. Before Yao Ge raised his gun to knock him down, a grenade flew in and exploded in the hall. The two unstoppable nine-headed birds were suddenly blown up beyond his face.
"Retreat! Get out of here and retreat to the bridge!"
Seeing more and more cavalry, grenades fell like raindrops, and the outer wall of the crumbling Arthur Hotel began to fall in large areas. The company commander knew that he could not defend it, and hurriedly called everyone to retreat.
"Yago, I'll carry you!"
"No, cover the company commanders!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Sanpang and Yao Ge helped to walk down the stairs. Just on the first floor, another series of explosions turned everyone upside down. Hundreds of British troops finally broke through the defense line and entered the hotel from both sides at the same time.
Short soldiers meet each other!
"Ban Bang."
"Dad""
In the dust all over the sky, Yao Ge pulled out a black star pistol that was more suitable for close-range use, and aimed at the two British soldiers who were attacking him with a few shots. As soon as he put them, he heard Sanpang suddenly shouting "Fal down" next to him. Just as he almost subconsciously fell to the ground, Sanpang's light machine gun roared, and more than a dozen British soldiers chasing from behind were all killed.
"San Pang, you have saved me twice. I have decided to marry my sister to you!"
"Damn it, you'll wait until I live today!"
The two farted to each other and rushed out back to back. The pistol and light machine gun kept putting down the British army they saw. Just as they rushed out of the hotel, the explosives who had been waiting for a long time immediately pressed the detonator.
"Boom."
Dozens of TNT explosives arranged all over the hotel exploded at the same time. The violent explosion made the Arthur Hotel, which had been devastated, could no longer support it. The three-story hotel collapsed like being swept by a giant in the Western world with a mace.
Hundreds of people rushed into the restaurant, and the British army, who was about to seize the commanding height, was buried under the rubble. This scene not only scared all the British troops around, but also Allenby, who was holding a telescope to watch the battle in the distance, was twitching at the corners of his mouth.
This scene reminded him of Mesopotamia half a year ago. At that time, he was facing an elite marine regiment in Xinhua. It took three days and three nights to almost destroy the town and not take it down, and was finally defeated by the Xinhua tank troops.
Will it be the same result this time?!
No, we must not let such a thing happen again!
"Tony, lead Tank Class 3 along the left wing. They don't have a commanding height and can't stop the tank!"
"Ville, inform Colonel Thornton and give it to him on the right!"
"All officers must lead the team to charge and recapture the bridge!"
"Go, go, go, the Chinese are dying, all rush up!"
Tens of thousands of British and American soldiers rushed along the streets and alleys again under the personal supervision of the officers. Yao Ge and Sanpang, who had just got up, saw this scene and immediately looked at each other and saw the appalling in each other's eyes.
"Yaango, I'll cover you. Let's go! Let's go!" Sanpang shouted and rushed to the rubble next to him, and the machine gun suddenly pulled out the last tongue of fire!
"Fuck you, I'll be with you!"
"Kill, kill one more, earn one more!"
The battle entered the white heat in an instant!
