Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

The moment the independent mechanized infantry brigade appeared at Sidaokou, the outcome was actually determined.

More than 60 fighter planes from the st, nd and rd Squadrons of the st Aviation Brigade of the Air Force, which had completed the third wave of supplies, rushed to support.

Dense aerial bombs were dropped like raindrops onto the hastily constructed positions of the 73rd Division's logistics troops in Sidaokou.

Amidst the intensive bombing, the independent mechanized infantry brigade launched an attack on the Sidaokou position without artillery support.

For them, their own tank guns are the artillery fire, and they do not need artillery support from the rear.

Of course, their independent mechanized brigade also has an artillery battalion, which is equipped with the world's most advanced self-propelled artillery with a caliber of up to 194 mm.

But the speed of this thing is too slow, even slower than towed artillery.

Its only advantage may be that it has better road passability because of the tracks, but that's all.

Jiang Hua was also helpless about this.

He originally thought that this large-caliber self-propelled cannon could play an important role in this battle.

As a result, this thing could not keep up with the advance speed of the mechanized troops and was of no use at all.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Hua has already sentenced this weapon to death in his heart.

At the same time, he also had a rough idea in his mind.

The Red Alert base has a wide variety of weapons, from all over the world, and there are many systems.

Some weapons look great on paper.

However, various problems may arise when it is applied in practice.

Only the troops themselves know what weapons they need.

He had never commanded a war or been to the front lines, but he only selected weapons and equipment based on data on paper.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some weapons and equipment will appear that are not good enough.

For example, this 194mm self-propelled cannon.

So he planned to establish an army weapons comprehensive test base and an air force flight test base.

The Army Weapons Comprehensive Test Base is specifically used to test the various weapons and equipment he selected.

If its actual performance can meet the needs of the Army, it means that the weapon can be put into service.

If the base thinks it doesn't work, then they will switch to the next model and continue the experiment.

This way, there won’t be any issues with weapons being disappointing.

The same is true for the Air Force test flight base.

There were quite a few top-notch propeller fighters during World War II, though not countless.

For example, the famous P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, TA-152, FW-190, etc., only after testing can we know which one is better.

This can also reduce the chance of making mistakes when choosing equipment.

Back to topic!

The logistics forces of the 73rd Division did not have strong combat effectiveness. Although the two infantry battalions had more than a thousand people, the number of troops was too small and they lacked anti-tank weapons.

After being bombed, their position was already in tatters, with defensive loopholes everywhere.

When they saw the KV-1 heavy tanks carrying a group of Type D tanks, panic and confusion appeared on their faces.

When they were still hundreds of meters away, they frantically fired at the tank cluster.

Yet there is no difference between their shooting and tickling.

The Sidaokou position fell into the hands of the independent mechanized infantry brigade without any surprise.

This also means that the encirclement has been formed, and the 73 people of the rd Division have become dumplings of the st Infantry Division.

A few hours later, a regiment and a self-propelled artillery battalion from the rear also arrived and completely sealed the gap.

The 8nd Regiment, the st Tank Regiment, the nd Artillery Regiment, and the th Artillery Regiment coming from the direction of Quanshuigou also arrived at Sidaokou before dark.

The night was a torment for Chi Haifeng and the entire 73rd Division.

Now there are only two paths before him.

The first way is to surrender, which can save the entire army, but Chi Haifeng himself will definitely die.

The reason is very simple, because he is Fu Changqing's trusted general, and his hands are stained with the blood of Guiyuan Army and the Jiang family.

Jiang Hua would never let him go no matter what.

The second way is to retreat, using the superior forces at hand to open a breakthrough and retreat towards Chengbei City.

Chi Haifeng cherishes his life very much. Since he is going to die anyway, he might as well give it a try.

So he chose the second route, and at night that day he led the 227th Brigade, the Cavalry Regiment, and the Artillery Regiment and rushed towards Sidaokou at full speed.

The journey of dozens of kilometers meant that they only arrived at the vicinity at dawn.

At this time, the reconnaissance plane appeared in the sky again.

And a military warning was sent to the defenders at Sidaokou.

"Want to pass through us? Humph, I think you are overthinking it!

Allow the artillery units to conduct artillery preparation for one hour.

The remaining troops are prepared to fight a war of annihilation."

Then, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division, who was the commander of this route, said, "Notify the division headquarters and tell them that Chi Haifeng has come to my place. We can close the net there now."

Chi Haifeng is now unable to escape.

炮二团和炮八团共计装备了72门M-30型122毫米榴弹炮、18门ML-20型152毫米榴弹炮，还有独立机步旅的炮营还有12门194毫米口径的加农炮。

The total number of barreled artillery pieces with a caliber of 122 mm or above is as high as 102.

At the same time, the 81st and nd Infantry Regiments also concentrated the mortars with a caliber of more than mm in the regiment to join the artillery bombardment.

Following the order, the 227th Brigade, which was in the process of intensive assembly, was immediately subjected to heavy artillery fire.

Especially the 194mm caliber cannon, one shot created a large crater on the ground with a diameter of 7 meters and a depth of about 2.8 meters.

The area within 50 meters is an evaporation zone, and not even a complete corpse can be found.

This thing is a crowd vanisher. With one shot, the crowd becomes empty.

"Commander, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, brothers can't withstand it at all."

A team leader ran to Chi Haifeng with a panicked look on his face and cried.

Their regiment was gathering for breakfast, preparing to launch an offensive after breakfast.

But unexpectedly, they were discovered so quickly and were subjected to heavy bombardment.

After a few minutes of shelling, their regiment suffered hundreds of casualties.

Out of a group of more than 1800 people, more than 800 have been killed so far, leaving less than a thousand people.

With this casualty ratio, his regiment has basically lost its combat effectiveness.

Moreover, they suffered such high casualties without even seeing their opponents, which was a devastating blow to their morale.

In this battle, Jiang Hua also experienced how cool it was to be a rich and powerful person, and also experienced how cool it was to use artillery. This further strengthened his determination to vigorously develop artillery.

It was Jiang Hua's decision that equipped the future Red Alert Corps with an artillery group of unprecedented scale.

"We have to bear it even if we can't. A bombardment of this scale can't last long.

"After the bombardment ends, we'll launch an attack immediately. As long as we escape, the sky and the sea are vast and free for us to fly. Do you all want to be captured?"

Chi Haifeng's cold gaze swept across everyone's faces, which made everyone silent and no one dared to say a word of opposition.

Because they knew Chi Haifeng's temper, he would really kill people.

But the bombardment lasted longer than he had imagined.

Before they could wait for the shelling to end, support from the Air Force arrived.

As long as the 73rd Division is annihilated, there will be no obstacles in recovering the Beire Province.

As for the Beire Army? They were so frightened that they didn't even dare to leave the city gates. They were completely unable to hinder them.

Therefore, the Air Force's First Aviation Brigade also assembled all its air forces to provide support.

Faced with fierce artillery and air strikes, the soldiers of the 73th Brigade of the 227rd Division had completely collapsed.

Many people even ignored the situation and ran to the nearby mountains, dropping their weapons.

Because only by hiding in the mountains can they avoid bombing and air raids.

Faced with the rout of the 227th Brigade, Chi Haifeng was powerless to do anything.

Because they were surrounded by artillery fire and aerial bombs, they were unable to move at all.

Once soldiers appear in large groups, they will be dealt a devastating blow.

An hour later, the area was bombarded with tens of thousands of shells again. The provincial road had disappeared and was covered with dense craters.

"attack!"

The main attack this time was naturally based on the independent mechanized infantry brigade.

To deal with the 227th Brigade, there is actually no need for the st and nd Regiments.

When the artillery fire stopped, the 227th Brigade was unable to organize an effective counterattack.

They could only watch as the tanks rushed into the crowd like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and then slaughtered them wantonly.

The remaining troops of the 227th Brigade collapsed at the first blow and all fled into the mountains.

This also forced the first and second regiments to allocate troops to pursue the group of defeated soldiers in the mountains.

As for Chi Haifeng, he rode away on his horse the moment the shelling ended.

But his luck was not very good.

After he ran more than ten kilometers with a dozen guards, he saw four BF-4E fighter jets returning in the sky behind him.

The fighter planes naturally discovered them as well.

So the four BF-109E fighters directly emptied all the remaining ammunition.

Chi Haifeng, the commander of the 73rd Division, was also shot into several pieces by the 20mm shells fired by the mgff machine gun, and was killed beyond measure.

However, the pilots did not know that they had shot Chi Haifeng, and they only confirmed it when they found their bodies later.

"Commander, we've got good news from the front. Most of the 73rd Division has been completely wiped out, and nearly prisoners have been captured.

The prisoners from the Provisional 2nd Division and the Provisional 5th Division were also counted, totaling more than .

In this battle, we completely wiped out three divisions of the Jinyuan Army and captured over 16,000 prisoners."

Jiang Hua was a little surprised that the battle went so smoothly. He didn't expect that the 73rd Division was so vulnerable.

It seems that he still underestimated this Red Alert force.

They have the most advanced equipment, and they are able to bring out the power of this equipment, so they can achieve such brilliant results.

"Very good, then we will deal with the Beire Army next.

Get all troops into action. We must end the fighting in the south within three days. Not an inch of land can fall into the hands of others."

At this moment Jiang Hua suddenly became a little nervous.

The last obstacle to retaking Beire Province has disappeared, which means that Beire Province is about to be retaken and the base is about to be upgraded. How can he not be nervous?

The current Red Alert Corps is already so powerful.

When the base is upgraded, its combat effectiveness will undergo a qualitative change.

(We need to speed up the pace. We can’t just keep focusing on one county or one region. The scope is too small. A province is more appropriate.)
