Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone
Chapter 11 Armored troops charged directly into the county town
“Gee…Gee…Gee…Gee…”
On the road, war horses were galloping, raising clouds of dust. Looking down from the sky, there were hundreds of them.
This cavalry unit was the cavalry battalion responsible for reconnaissance.
The one rushing in the front was the cavalry battalion commander Hong Dong, who was also the son of Hong Dapao.
They were moving forward with their heads down and soon came to a corner.
Hong Dong and a dozen soldiers rushed directly around the corner. However, when they saw the scene in front of them, they quickly reined in their horses and looked forward with shock on their faces.
Less than a hundred meters away, a number of Type 4D tanks were stopped in place, with their black muzzles pointing at them.
"This...Iron Turtle, how is this possible..."
Hong Dong had never seen a tank in person, but he had seen photos of it.
However, the Second Tank Battalion opened fire directly without caring whether Hongdong had seen the tanks or not.
"fire!"
"Fire!"
"boom......."
The guns of the Type 4D tanks roared, and with flashes of muzzle fire, the shells whizzed towards the cavalry battalion in Hongdong.
More than ten shells fell into the crowd with great accuracy.
Before Hongdong could react and retreat, the shells exploded around him.
Hong Dong, who was still in a daze, felt the impact of a heavy hammer, and the fragments also pierced his body with bloody holes.
Both the man and the horse were blown away.
Then he fell heavily to the ground, deader than dead.
“Da da da…”
The cavalry behind the corner were not aware of the situation ahead, so they continued to rush forward without stopping.
What greeted them was a dense barrage of machine gun bullets like a rainstorm.
In an instant, they were swept down and fell off their horses one after another.
As the sound of gunfire rang out, the cavalry in the rear finally reacted.
No matter how dumb they were, they knew they were under attack.
So they reined in their horses and stopped moving forward.
Some people even turned their horses around and prepared to run away.
But how could their Second Battalion let them go?
"Buzz buzz..."
The engine was roaring, outputting surging power, pushing the Type 30D tank to speed along the road at a speed of kilometers per hour.
Although the war horses ran fast, their troops were in disarray and could not outrun the tanks with two tracks.
As the Type 4D tanks rushed out of the corner, a large number of cavalry appeared under the muzzles of their guns and rifles.
When moving fast, the accuracy of artillery is very poor, but it cannot withstand the dense crowd.
Accompanied by the roar of gunfire, a one-sided massacre began.
Each Type IV D tank is like a moving fortress.
Under the spitting of gunfire, lives fell in a pool of blood.
The entire cavalry battalion was in chaos, with everyone running for their lives desperately, and fear filled everyone's heart.
Some soldiers who knew they could not escape raised their carbines to resist.
However, their rifle bullets hit the armor of the Panzer IV D tank like a tickle.
Although the armor of the Panzer IV tank is relatively weak, that is only relative to the gun barrel.
Its front armor is 30 mm and its side armor is 20 mm, which is completely beyond the reach of rifles and machine guns.
This one-sided massacre did not last too long, but the scene was already like a map of the human world.
Especially under the rolling of the tanks, the bodies of some people and horses were mixed together, which looked extremely terrifying.
"Damn it! I'm never going to eat meat dumplings again."
When the battle was over, the strong loader climbed out of the turret.
However, when he saw the minced meat mixed with the soil on the ground, his stomach immediately began to churn.
"Let the infantry in the rear clean up the battlefield. We will continue to advance and be the first to enter the city!"
The battalion commander's order was issued through the tank radio, and dozens of Type 4D tanks of the Second Tank Battalion continued to roar forward.
The Seventh Battalion following behind left a platoon to clean up the battlefield, while the rest of the troops continued to follow behind the tanks, grunting and eating dust.
Although it was on the road, the speed of the Opel Lightning truck could not keep up with the speed of the tank.
Because the road is so bad, several Opel Lightning trucks produced at the base have broken down.
The speed of advancement cannot be increased at all.
Moreover, the Second Tank Battalion had no intention of waiting for them and rushed directly towards Yingzhou County.
Hong Dapao, as his name suggests, is extremely strong and rough. His temper is like a cannon, which can be ignited at any time, so he is also called Hong Dapao.
Now he has a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
His intuition has always been quite accurate, and even helped him escape an ambush, so he still trusts his intuition.
However, no news came back after the cavalry battalion left, which also meant that Jiang Hua's troops did not appear on the front line.
Feeling bored, he came to the west gate of Yingzhou County. The passage extending from the west gate was the county road to Jianping.
Now the entire west gate has been closed, and soldiers are building fortifications outside the city and on the city walls.
They were like ants moving house, and simple fortifications gradually took shape in their hands.
"Commander, what brings you here? It's too dusty here, and the sun is scorching. You should get down from the city wall and get out of the sun."
An officer in charge of the defense of the west city gate hurriedly trotted up to Hong Dapao and spoke humbly.
Hong Dapao nodded at him, then shook his head and said, "You go and do your thing. I'll just come over here and take a look."
"Yes, Commander, please rest assured. This West City Gate is absolutely secure in my hands. Even if the Northern Frontier Imperial Court attacks, they won't be able to break through my defenses."
In order to show off in front of Hong Dapao, the officer patted his chest and said.
Hong Dapao looked here for a while, and suddenly noticed a cloud of dust at the end of the road in the distance, as if a sandstorm was sweeping towards them.
"The cavalry battalion is back. How did they get back so quickly? Could it be that my uneasiness stems from the news from the cavalry battalion? Did that guy named Jiang really attack?"
Seeing this, Hong Dapao couldn't help but think in his heart.
Not only Hong Dapao, but many officers and soldiers on the city wall also noticed this scene and curiously looked over.
But as the dust got closer, some sharp-eyed soldiers noticed something was wrong.
"Sir, what's coming here isn't a cavalry battalion, it's a bunch of running iron lumps."
"Iron lump?"
After hearing this, Hong Dapao squinted his eyes and looked carefully.
At this moment, the smoke and dust were less than 1 kilometer away from them, and they could see it more clearly.
Soon Hong Dapao could clearly see the figures swept under the smoke and dust.
"Tanks? Damn it, they're Jiang Hua's men. Enemy attack, everyone prepare to fight."
Hong Dapao had seen the Renault tanks of the Gallic Roosters before, but the tanks in front of him were much larger than the Renault tanks, and even carried cannons, which made his scalp tingle.
How did Jiang Hua get so many tanks?
Hong Dapao's words immediately caused the nearby soldiers to panic.
Some quickly hid behind the battlements, some raised their rifles and prepared to shoot, and some even prepared to run down the city.
The soldiers on the city wall were better off, but the soldiers building positions outside the city suffered directly.
Before they could run into the city, the city gates were closed on them.
“Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…”
The speeding Type IV D tanks raised their 75mm tank guns and fired shells into the crowd.
Intensive explosions rang out among the crowd, and the people immediately scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.
The tank crew numbered 203 rushed to the front as the first vehicle.
Because in daily training, their artillery is most accurate when it is on the move.
The soldiers outside the city were defeated immediately. The Second Tank Battalion did not pay any attention to them, but rushed through the crowd and headed straight for the west gate.
Soon the tightly closed city gate blocked the 203rd crew, and at the same time the soldiers on the city wall began to fight back.
Dense rifle and machine gun bullets hit the tank armor, emitting bursts of orange-red flames, but did not cause any damage to the tank armor.
Even the bullets fired by the Maxim heavy machine gun only made small holes in the top armor.
Although the top armor is a bit thin, it is still 10 mm alloy steel, and cannot be penetrated by 7.92 mm caliber bullets unless tungsten core armor-piercing bullets are used.
It was obvious that they couldn't afford such advanced stuff.
Most of the tungsten ore mined in ancient China was exported to the Kingdom of Hans.
"Fire! Blow open the city gate!"
The enemies on the city wall opened fire and were immediately suppressed by the tanks in the rear.
Artillery shells and dense machine gun bullets flew towards the enemies on the city wall, easily pushing them back.
The tank in the front aimed its 75mm gun at the city gate.
As the shells fell, holes were immediately blown in the wooden city gate, and the enemies hiding behind the city gate were directly blown into pieces.
"Come on!"
"Armored troops charge!"
One after another, Type 4D tanks, with their guns raised high, rushed directly into Yingzhou County, as if they were in an empty area.
When Hong Dapao saw that the situation was not good, he decisively ran away with his men, without even having time to take his property with him. The most important thing now was to escape.
Tanks were running around the city, firing at any enemy they saw.
The 7th Battalion in the rear finally arrived after rushing.
In just over three hours, the entire Yingzhou County was captured.
Guo Mingxuan, the commander of the Third Regiment who was in charge of commanding this route, was immediately overjoyed. He waved his hand and ordered the Second and Seventh Battalions to continue advancing and launch an attack on Yulong County.
After taking Yulong County, they can join forces with the First Regiment to attack Dongsui County and catch up with the battle.
The speed of the Third Regiment surprised even Jiang Tianming, the division chief of staff.
The first regiment was still on the way, and the third regiment had already captured Yingzhou County. This speed was a bit too fast.
It seemed that just as he expected, they had overestimated these warlords.
