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

Chapter 77: The Unstoppable Iron Torrent: The 7th Mechanized Infantry Division's Blitz

The 16th Regiment launched a feint attack on Hill 627 from the flank of the division headquarters under the cover of artillery fire.

The purpose was to attract the defenders on Hill 627 from their fortifications to their positions, and then the air force and artillery would work together to kill the living forces on the positions.

This was also an open conspiracy for the 15th Division of the Anding Army.

Even if the 15th Division guessed it, they would have to deploy soldiers to the high ground positions when the Fuxing Army launched an attack.

Because if the Fuxing Army rushed up and occupied Hill 627, the entire Anding Army would be doomed.

And that is exactly why the 15th Division moved up one battalion after another, just like a refueling tactic.

The 16th Motorized Infantry Division's attack was just a feint, so the casualties were not heavy.

After two days, the 15th Division suffered severe torture, but its own casualties were less than .

Although we don't know how many casualties the 15th Division of the Anding Army suffered, at least four to five thousand people were killed.

After all, the artillery ammunition consumption of the Renaissance Army is here, and it is completely based on the intensity of Van Fleet's ammunition.

The artillery shells from the rear were transported to the front line in train cars at a time.

Fortunately, there is the Jiaoji Railway, otherwise relying solely on road transportation would not be able to keep up with the ammunition consumption on the front line.

It is also because of this that the higher the degree of mechanization and motorization, the greater the dependence on railways.

"Commander, our 15th Division has suffered heavy casualties. The strongest of the three regiments only has two battalions left, and one regiment can barely muster a single battalion.

If we continue to attack, our 15th Division will probably be expelled from the Anding Army."

When Cao Guofeng heard the commander of the 15th Division crying on the phone, he felt very upset and powerless.

They were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of artillery fire and could only passively endure the bombing throughout the entire process. They had no way to deal with the artillery and air force of the Fuxing Army.

A deep sense of powerlessness also surged in my heart.

At this time, he began to understand Tong Yong a little.

Facing such an opponent can really make people despair.

"Let the 16th Division replace the 15th Division."

The 15th Division is the core of the Anding Army and cannot be wiped out.

The 16th Division was also the only reserve force he had left.

The 17th Division was guarding Zhu Jiayu's side and could not move at all.

As for the 21st Division under Tong Yong, he also did not trust it.

Because the morale of this army was very low, they were almost all scared by the Fusion Army.

If we let them go up, they would collapse at the first touch and almost hand over Hill 627.

Gu Zhengyang's strategy began to work slowly.

Apart from the higher consumption of ammunition, there is nothing else wrong with the Renaissance Army.

Another two days passed.

The 16th Division also followed in the footsteps of the 15th Division. In two days, more than 7000 soldiers were killed or wounded in the bombing, and only less than 16 people were left in the entire th Division.

They held the heights, but the price seemed too high.

The entire 627 highland hill is about to be flattened.

"Damn it, these Renaissance Army's artillery shells are free?"

During these three days, the Fuxing Army fired more artillery shells than the entire Northern Frontier Army had in stock.

The consumption of these shells alone is astronomical.

But the Renaissance Army doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

We must use artillery shells to flatten Hill 627.

"Commander, if we rely solely on our An Ding Army, it would be no problem to hold this line of defense, but the casualties are too great.

Even if we hold on by then, our Anding Army’s resources will have been wiped out.

Was the Anding Army at that time still the Anding Army?

It would be better to ask Chief of Staff Duan for help and have them send the Anyuan Army over."

Anwu, Anding, Anyuan, Anxing and Anguo are the five armies of the northern border, and are also the core troops of Yuan Shicheng.

Except for the Anguo Army which was still in Zhili Province, the other four armies were all deployed to the Quancheng defense line.

From this we can also see that the Northern Frontier Army is really showing off its strength.

After hearing the officer's words, Cao Guofeng suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, if he uses up all his resources here, will the Anding Army still be the Anding Army?

The status of the Anding Army determines his position in the Northern Frontier Army.

At this time, Cao Guofeng was no longer bothered by his face and directly sent the telegram asking for help to Duan Yunfeng.

When Duan Yunfeng saw the telegram from Cao Guofeng, he immediately cursed him as a good-for-nothing.

He was originally very confident in Cao Guofeng and his Anding Army.

But it had only been a few days and telegrams for help had arrived.

He also knew that Cao Guofeng would not ask him for help unless it was necessary.

This also shows that the war on the front line is precarious.

But it was impossible for him to get an army of reinforcements.

Because according to intelligence, a force of the Fuxing Army has appeared in the Guangrao area in the north.

So he sent two divisions of troops towards Guangrao to prevent the Fuxing Army from crossing the Long River from Guangrao and threatening their flanks and rear.

So he doesn't have many troops available now.

But we had to send reinforcements.

So he could only mobilize the 13th and 14th Infantry Divisions of the Anyuan Army to provide reinforcements.

"Reporting to the Commander, according to the deciphering of the telegrams intercepted by the electronic reconnaissance unit, Quancheng has dispatched two divisions of troops to Zhangqiu."

Gu Zhengyang's eyes lit up when he heard this information.

The other side finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to send reinforcements to Zhangqiu.

Unfortunately, there were only two divisions of troops, and he thought it was an army or even more.

But he was not greedy. Two more divisions meant that there were already six divisions and more than 70,000 troops in the encirclement.

"Order the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division to attack immediately and seize Daguanzhuang between Zhangqiu and Quancheng as quickly as possible. Besiege Zhangqiu and destroy them.

At the same time, the 8th Motorized Infantry Division was ordered to immediately seize the Guangrao area and move southward toward Quancheng, preparing to cooperate with the main force to flank the Quancheng defense line.

As a mechanized unit, the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division's mobility is unquestionable.

Especially in large plains areas like Qidong Province, the mechanized troops can bring into play their unparalleled assault and rapid mobility capabilities.

His battle plan was simple: to attract the main force of the Northern Frontier Army to the Zhangqiu front.

Then the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division bypassed the Heban Mountains and captured Daguanzhuang at lightning speed, cutting off the enemy's retreat, blocking the reinforcements from Quancheng, and then together with the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division, they wiped out the enemy force in Zhangqiu.

Of course, Duan Yunfeng is not a fool. It is impossible for him not to see the loopholes in this line of defense.

Therefore, a main division and two miscellaneous divisions, totaling 20,000 people, were deployed in the Daguanzhuang area.

If the assault fails, they will easily be caught in a pincer attack by the defenders of Daguanzhuang and Zhangqiu.

But Gu Zhengyang was full of confidence in the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division.

The 7th Mechanized Infantry Division was like a tiger out of the cage, and with its tank troops as the vanguard, it rushed across the vast plains of Qidong Province.

Following behind the tank troops were hundreds of tracked multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles from two mechanized infantry regiments. These infantry fighting vehicles were designated BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles in the Fusion Army.

Of course, this order came from Jiang Hua.

This tracked infantry fighting vehicle itself is designed based on the BMP-1.

So he just took the name and used it.

Then came the artillery units and more than 2,000 trucks of various types responsible for transporting supplies.

No soldier in the entire 7th Mechanized Infantry Division walked; they marched the entire way in vehicles.

When the steel torrent moves, the enemy will know what it means to be unstoppable.

The main division responsible for defending the Daguanzhuang area is also a direct unit of the Northern Frontier Army, but it is not one of the five major armies.

Instead, it was the 34th Division of the Eighth Army of Northern Xinjiang, and the two miscellaneous divisions were the 107th Division and the 109th Division.

Among them, the 34th Division of the Eighth Army was stationed in Daguanzhuang, which was also the logistics supply point for the defenders of the Zhangqiu defense line. This was a situation that the Fuxing Army had not discovered.

The 107th Division was deployed in Dongcao Village to the northeast and Xingjiazhuang to the north.

These three places form an inverted triangle.

It is obvious that the 34th Division deployed two miscellaneous divisions in two places in order to prevent the flank from being attacked during the attack on Daguanzhuang.

Although these two ragtag divisions may not be able to hold out for long, they can still buy them some time.

The raid of less than 100 kilometers took less than four hours for the th Mechanized Infantry Division.

Setting out in the morning, they arrived near Dongcao Village around noon.

When the raid on Daguanzhuang was decided, the Air Force conducted a detailed reconnaissance of the Daguanzhuang area.

Naturally, they knew about the two miscellaneous divisions stationed in Dongcao Village and Xingjiazhuang to build a defense line.

Therefore, Liang Yuming, commander of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division, decided to split his troops into two groups.

The 21th Tank Regiment and the st Mechanized Infantry Regiment formed the central route and broke through the defense line of the Northern Frontier defenders stationed in Dongcao Village, and went straight to the Daguanzhuang area.

The 22nd Mechanized Infantry Regiment launched an attack on the northern border defenders in Xingjiazhuang, preventing them from reinforcing Daguanzhuang.

After the battle plan was formulated, the various troops began to take action.

The Northern Xinjiang 107th Division stationed in Dongcao Village was subjected to heavy artillery fire before it could even react.

The 2th Mechanized Infantry Division concentrated two 105mm artillery battalions and two 150mm artillery battalions, totaling 72 Hornet and Wild Bee self-propelled artillery, to bombard Dongcao Village.

In just a few minutes, the entire Dongcao Village's defensive positions and camps were engulfed in flames.

The 90th Tank Regiment concentrated 136 Panther medium tanks and Type D tanks and launched a charge.

Hundreds of BMP-21 infantry fighting vehicles of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment followed closely behind to cover the tank troops' attack.

This fight is like using a butcher knife to kill a pig.

When the artillery fire stopped, the Panther tanks and Type 100D tanks had rushed to a place less than meters away from the position.

At this point, even the Jade Emperor couldn't defend it.

In less than ten minutes, the 107th Division's defense line in Dongcao Village was broken through.

The entire 107th Division also suffered a rout.

The 21st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, after leaving behind a battalion of troops, followed the 34th Tank Regiment in launching an attack on the th Division of the Northern Xinjiang Army in Daguanzhuang.

At this time, the Air Force also sent four fighter squadrons to reinforce.

Fighter planes launched air strikes on Daguanzhuang in batches.

This battle also directly affected the war situation in the entire Qidong Province.
