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

Qihu County is named after the seven lakes within its jurisdiction, the largest of which is Duolun Lake.

The area around Yuduolun Lake is flat terrain and grassland. It is about 15 kilometers away from the county seat of Qihu County, which is a moderate distance and very suitable as an airborne landing site.

There is no dangerous terrain here, nor is it an important place, so the 1st Temporary Division of the th Army stationed around Qihu County only deployed a cavalry battalion here.

As the morning sun shone, the camp of the Provisional 1st Division Cavalry Battalion began to bustle, and soldiers walked out of their tents one by one.

Soon the aroma of meat porridge wafted through the camp.

Compared with warlords in other places, the Jinyuan Army was relatively wealthy, so their food treatment was also good. A meal of meat porridge was nothing to them.

"Good morning, brothers!"

Zhang Dekai, the commander of the cavalry battalion, greeted the brothers around him with a smile.

The surrounding soldiers also responded.

Soon Zhang Dekai came to the stove where the meat porridge was being distributed and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give me a bowl of meat porridge with more minced meat, and a bowl of fresh mutton soup with more mutton offal."

"Here it is, Captain, please hold it carefully, it's a little hot!"

In less than a minute, the cook served Zhang Dekai a bowl of meat porridge and mutton soup.

At this time, a cry of surprise was heard from not far away.

Zhang Dekai quickly looked up and was stunned on the spot, his eyes full of surprise and suspicion.

They saw a group of black spots coming towards them at a height of about 200 meters from the ground.

Zhang Dekai didn't have time to think. He immediately dropped the meat soup and mutton offal soup in his hands and ran towards his tent, shouting, "Get your weapons! Everyone, get your weapons! The Fuxing Army's planes are coming!"

At this time, he had already seen clearly what these black spots were.

After hearing Zhang Dekai's shout, the whole camp was thrown into chaos.

Those soldiers who reacted quickly dropped their bowls, picked up the rifles beside them, and aimed at the direction of the attacking aircraft.

What they saw was the 4th Attack Group of the nd Tactical Bomber Aviation Brigade of the st Air Force.

This brigade is equipped entirely with Il-10 attack aircraft.

Although it is not as famous as the Black Death Il-2, it is an upgraded version of it and its performance is still very good.

As a professional ground attack aircraft, they all carried two 224 kg bombs on this attack.

However, its most deadly weapon is the PTAB 2.5-1.5 aerial anti-tank bomb carried in its internal magazine, which is also a professional anti-tank aerial cluster bomb.

Of course, this thing is also very powerful for anti-personnel use.

The ammunition bay of an Il-10 attack aircraft can carry a total of 400 PTAB submunitions, which are stuffed into a container-type mother box.

In a single bombing, it can cover an area of up to 200x270 meters, which is a weapon that is enough to terrify the enemy.

Especially in open areas like grasslands with no shelter, its lethality can be almost maximized.

Although they had discovered the Il-10 attack aircraft group, it was meaningless.

After the Il-10 attack aircraft group arrived over the camp, its speed had reached 300 kilometers per hour.

"Bang bang bang..."

Intensive gunfire rang out, and dense bullets whizzed towards the Il-10 attack aircraft that was already very close.

But even if a rifle bullet hits the Il-10 attack aircraft, it will be useless because its armor cannot be penetrated by ordinary rifle bullets.

"Buzz..."

One after another, Il-10 attack aircraft flew over the camp at high speed and low altitude.

The container in the ammunition bay opened, and small anti-tank bombs weighing only 1.5 kilograms fell like raindrops.

"Boom boom boom..."

As dense bombs fell to the ground, a sea of fire was left on the ground in an instant.

The cavalrymen covered by the explosion were killed or wounded without a sound.

As more and more Il-10 attack aircraft flew over the camp, the explosions became more and more frequent.

In just a moment, the entire camp was engulfed in a series of explosions.

Screams, wails...it was like a hell on earth.

"Buzzing..."

At an altitude of about 1000 meters, a large group of transport planes flew over Lake Duolun.

Flying in the front were larger C-54 transport planes, towing gliders behind them.

"Cut the tow rope and release the glider!"

As the orders were conveyed from the command plane, gliders separated from the transport planes and flew towards the grassland not far away.

"Everyone prepare to skydive, prepare to skydive!"

Inside the cabin of the transport plane, fully armed paratroopers lined up at the cabin door.

"beep!"

The green light came on, and the paratroopers jumped out of the hatch without hesitation.

At this time, the transport aircraft group was only about 400 meters above the ground.

In the absence of danger, an altitude of 400 meters is relatively safe, and there is no need to take the risk of ultra-low altitude skydiving.

Suddenly, the whole sky was filled with white umbrella flowers floating in the air.

"Watch for impact!"

A CG-4A glider dived towards the ground and soon made close contact with the ground.

The 13 fighters inside the cabin all held tightly onto the cables beside them.

Immediately the entire cabin began to shake violently.

The belly of the glider landed hard on the grass, plowing a deep rut and exposing the dirt beneath.

The moment the glider stopped, the hatch was kicked open and fully armed paratroopers jumped out.

The weapons they used were all STG-44 assault rifles, and they were not equipped with G43 semi-automatic rifles like the army.

Because paratroopers themselves cannot carry heavy weapons, dense firepower is very critical.

There is no need to make them use semi-automatic rifles to save bullets.

The reason why the army is still equipped with G43 semi-automatic rifles is not because of the lack of bullets.

Instead, there are mountains of bullets in the rear, but if the front line consumes them too quickly, the supply cannot keep up.

After all, the traffic situation is there and the transportation capacity is limited.

Logistics troops not only need to transport bullets, but also artillery shells, food, medicine and other combat supplies.

Gliders landed one after another on the grass.

Suddenly a huge black shadow flew over the grass. When the soldiers looked up, they saw the huge body of the Hamilcar heavy glider.

This is a real big one.

The Hamilcar heavy gliders were loaded with M22 Cicada tanks and 75mm mountain guns from the tank and artillery battalions of the airborne brigade. (The previous typo was wrong. The caliber of the American mountain gun was 75mm and the model was M1. This has now been corrected.)

The impact of these heavy gliders is still very large.

After a safe landing, the hatch was knocked open by the already started M22 Cicada tank, which took about 15 seconds.

The glider battalion and tank battalion took less than 20 minutes to complete the landing and assembly.

In the area where the two airborne battalions parachuted, flares of different colors rose up, which was also the signal for assembly.

This airborne operation targeting more than 6,000 people was carried out very smoothly.

Except for a few who were lost, most of the soldiers in each unit had completed assembly.

After completing the assembly, the 1st Airborne Brigade, with the tank battalion as the vanguard, headed towards the county seat of Qihu County.

Sun Guangzhi, commander of the 30th Army in charge of defending Qihu County, never imagined that the Fuxing Army would appear behind him.

If the reconnaissance troops had not seen it with their own eyes, he would never have believed it even if he was beaten to death.

"The 175th Regiment will immediately proceed to the city to establish an outer perimeter position. The 176th Regiment will establish a second line of defense. The 177th Regiment will be responsible for the city's defense."

Although Sun Guangzhi was surprised by this way of fighting, he did not panic.

Because he thought that the other party came by plane, they definitely could not carry heavy weapons and would not have many troops.

If this is the case, then there is no threat to Qihu County.

However, the 1st Airborne Brigade was much faster in building its positions than the Provisional st Division.

While the 1th Regiment of the Provisional 175st Division was still building positions outside the city, the 30 M22 Cicada tanks of the st Airborne Brigade Tank Battalion.

As an airborne tank, the M22 Cicada tank has a tonnage of only 7.72 tons.

The weapon is a 37mm tank gun, and it is also equipped with an MG42 general-purpose machine gun as an auxiliary weapon.

The M22 Cicada tank has a bad reputation, mainly because its armor is too thin due to its extreme weight reduction.

The thickest frontal armor is only 25 mm, and the armor thickness of other parts is only 10-13 mm.

This side can basically be penetrated by armor-piercing bullets from large-caliber heavy machine guns.

But this was a battlefield in an ancient country, and the First Airborne Brigade was facing warlord troops.

They do not have professional anti-tank weapons and rarely have large-caliber heavy machine guns.

Therefore, the M22 Cicada tank can serve as the only assault force of the st Airborne Brigade.

"Monster, monster is coming!"

"Iron Turtle, it's Iron Turtle."

"Brothers, pick up your weapons and fight!"

On the outer positions, the 175th Regiment encountered some minor confusion due to the appearance of the Cicada tanks, but they quickly picked up their weapons and prepared to counterattack.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

At this moment, about 175 kilometers away from the 4th Regiment, 12 75mm mountain cannons were lined up in a row, pouring shells towards the 175th Regiment to cover the tank troops' attack.

"put!"

“kuang kuang kuang.....”

A number of 60mm and 81mm American mortars also launched rapid fire at the newly excavated positions of the 175th Regiment.

In an instant, the entire area where the 175th Regiment was located was filled with artillery fire.

They were suppressed so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

In the sky, a number of Il-10 attack aircraft and P-47D Thunder fighters appeared over Qihu County.

Two Il-10 attack aircraft squadrons and one P-47D Thunderbolt fighter squadron, with a total number of more than 100 aircraft.

Their mission was to cover the 1st Airborne Brigade's attack and capture Qihu County.

"It's over, it's too late! Immediately send a telegram to the Provisional 3rd Division, telling them to rush to Qihu County as quickly as possible!

Telegraph the 101st Division to withstand the attack of the Fuxing Army, otherwise we will all be finished! "

Tanks, cannons, and planes all came, especially the overwhelming number of fighter planes, which made Sun Guangzhi feel suffocated.

He couldn't imagine how the Restoration Army managed to transport all the tanks and artillery behind him.

Now the only chance to destroy this force appearing in the rear is to mobilize the 3rd Temporary Division for reinforcement.
