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

Hundreds of thousands of troops were hidden underground in Yekaterinburg, but these troops could not be transferred out at all.

When the Tsarist Russia organized its troops to launch a counterattack against Levda, it was met with repeated bombings from the Air Force.

Before they even reached Levda, they were all bombed back, and the losses were very heavy.

The ancient country was also rapidly sending reinforcements to Levda.

The 71st Airborne Combined Brigade of the Cuban Air Force, with the assistance of C-17 strategic transport aircraft, was transported from the Irkutsk region in the rear to Levda on the same day.

At the same time, the 65th Air Assault Brigade also used helicopters to urgently transport the personnel and equipment of the newly arrived 62nd Light Combined Brigade to Levda.

The forces of the three combined brigades of the ancient country will be gathered here for defense.

Among them, the 62nd Light Combined Brigade was responsible for resisting reinforcements from the direction of Mosgrad.

The 65th Air Assault Brigade and the 71st Airborne Combined Brigade will form an offensive force to launch an attack on the rear of Yekaterinburg.

Together with the main force of the Far Eastern Army, they attacked Yekaterinburg from the front and back.

The joint logistics force is under the greatest pressure at this time.

Not only did they need to travel thousands of kilometers to ensure the logistical supply of nearly 100,000 troops of the Far Eastern Group Army, but they also had to be responsible for the supply of Levda's three combined brigades.

You have to know that the daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating needs of nearly 100,000 people is not a small number, not to mention the bad weather.

At present, supplies still mainly rely on air routes.

As for trains, many of the destroyed railway bridges have not been repaired and are currently unusable.

The Far East Military District has assembled more than 3,000 trucks of various models to transport supplies to the front line.

The round trip distance alone is more than 3000 kilometers.

With the arrival of winter, automobile transportation became difficult, so the pressure suddenly fell on the Air Force.

However, the situation will improve greatly once the front-line airports are built.

毕竟空军现在装备了上千架的C-130战术运输机，500多架的C-17战略运输机以及200多架C-5银河战略运输机。

As for the larger AN-225, it is not included, as it is impossible for it to take off and land at the front-line airport.

This thing can only travel back and forth between large military airports.

The runways of ordinary military airports cannot accommodate takeoffs and landings because they are too heavy.

Therefore, the practical value of this super transport aircraft is not very high.

But it can transport domestic supplies directly to military airports in the Irkutsk region.

It can carry more than 200 tons of materials at a time, which is not an ordinary capacity.

For example, heavy locomotives needed for the front line can be transported directly to Irkutsk through it.

The joint logistical support from air and land meant that the Far Eastern Army did not have to worry about ammunition and supplies after the war broke out, and could unleash its firepower without any scruples.

As one of Liao Jie's admirers of ammunition, the Far East Army Commander Xie Zixuan still did not change his previous style.

When Levda's side was consolidated, he launched a full-scale attack on Yekaterinburg.

On the first day of the offensive, the Air Force launched more than 20 Tomahawk cruise missiles carrying electromagnetic pulse bombs to carry out electromagnetic strikes on Yekaterinburg.

While electronic warfare aircraft cannot interfere with landline phones, electromagnetic pulse bombs can directly destroy their phones.

Then began a one-day carpet bombing campaign.

More than 200 Tu-95, Tu-160 and B-52 strategic bombers once again dropped thousands of tons of bombs on Yekaterinburg, which had been reduced to ruins.

A large amount of rubble was even turned into powder by repeated bombings.

However, this carpet bombing had little effect and failed to cause structural damage to the underground fortifications.

Xie Zixuan also knew this, so he ordered his troops to launch a full-scale attack the next day.

The 57th and 58th heavy combined brigades and three medium combined brigades were all deployed.

The 65th Airborne Brigade and the 71st Airborne Combined Brigade also launched an attack from the rear.

On the ground, M1A1 main battle tanks and M2 infantry fighting vehicles formed an armored torrent.

Apache attack helicopters at low altitude and various types of fighter jets at medium and high altitude covered the sky and directly submerged Yekaterinburg.

The troops only began to face fierce counterattacks from the Tsarist Russian troops after entering Yekaterinburg.

They were like groundhogs, appearing from unexpected places to fire a cold shot, and then going straight back into their holes after firing for a while.

This is also the groundhog tactic formulated by Chuikov.

Yekaterinburg has a complete underground transportation network, which is an underground Great Wall that can hide more than 40 troops.

This underground Great Wall not only contains enough supplies for hundreds of thousands of troops to eat and drink for a year, but also has production lines for bullets, artillery shells and firearms.

Many light weapons and ammunition are self-sufficient.

This is the confidence of Tsarist Russia in defending Yekaterinburg.

So although the Far Eastern Army occupied Yekaterinburg on the surface, it actually only occupied the ground.

There were hundreds of thousands of Tsarist Russian defenders underground, who used the underground transportation network to frequently launch attacks on the Wehrmacht.

Of course, their tactics looked good, but their efficiency was not as good as Chuikov had imagined.

In his imagination, the ancient country's defense forces entering Yekaterinburg would be lost under this tactic.

But the fact is that their counterattacks are often accompanied by heavy casualties.

It is considered good if half of the troops that go out can come back.

The greatest casualties among them came from the air.

The Apache attack helicopter demonstrated the power of a heavy attack helicopter.

Whenever they spotted Tsarist Russian troops emerging from underground bunkers, they would fly over and circle over their heads.

Rockets, anti-tank missiles and 30mm chain guns continued to pour fire into the enemy.

This also resulted in heavy casualties among the Russian defenders.

In just a few days, they suffered more than 3 casualties, while the Far Eastern Army suffered only more than casualties.

The reason why the combat loss ratio is so exaggerated is also closely related to the fact that the Far Eastern Group Army is fully equipped with bulletproof vests.

Kevlar bulletproof vests combined with various ceramic and steel plates can achieve a level 4 bulletproof effect.

Although it cannot block close-range shots from full-power rifles, it can buffer most of the damage.

At the same time, it can block most of the fragments and stray bullets.

Most soldiers can usually receive effective treatment and can quickly return to the battlefield.

This is also the main reason why the Far Eastern Army had a low casualty rate.

However, faced with this situation, Xie Zixuan quickly adjusted his tactics.

"Send the engineers in with the ground-penetrating radar and blow up their rat holes before we start fighting."

Faced with Yekaterinburg’s underground fortifications, the ancient country was not without ways to deal with it.

Ground penetrating radar is a very effective response method.

Because ground penetrating radar can clearly locate whether there is a cavity underground, its approximate depth and various information.

As long as we can accurately find their fortifications, the rest of the process will be much easier.
