Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone
Chapter 78: The Encirclement Formed, the End of the Northern Frontier Army
Air raids and artillery bombardments swept across the entire Daguanzhuang area.
The 34th Division had never imagined that they would be attacked in Daguanzhuang in the rear, so their positions were very simple, and they didn't even have decent anti-artillery holes.
As for deploying the two miscellaneous divisions in Dongcao Village and Xingjiazhuang, it was Tong Yong who arranged it.
However, the 34th Division thought that Tong Yong's behavior was a bit of an overreaction, so they didn't take it seriously.
And now they are reaping the consequences of neglecting to build their positions.
Dense artillery shells, rockets and aerial bombs continued to fall.
The soldiers of the 34th Division, running around like headless flies, all rushed into Daguanzhuang.
Because now only Daguanzhuang has buildings that can be used as shelters.
The artillery bombardment and air strikes caused heavy casualties to the 34th Division and also caused great chaos.
"Return to the position, everyone return to the position..."
"7th Battalion, 7th Battalion is building a defense line outside the village..."
"9th Battalion, move all the machine guns out of the warehouse and distribute them quickly!"
The 34th Division, as the main force, after the initial chaos, began to build a defense line under the leadership of officers.
However, they were facing the steel torrent of the 7th Mechanized Division.
The 34th Division's headquarters is also very busy.
The division commander made several phone calls in succession.
They were all calls for help.
In the joint command headquarters in Zhangqiu County, Cao Guofeng, the commander of the Anding Army, is the commander-in-chief of the joint command headquarters, responsible for the command and operations of the three armies: Anwu Army, Anyuan Army, and Anding Army.
Tong Yong, commander of the Anwu Army, and Tong Yong, deputy commander of the Anyuan Army, served as deputy commanders.
At this moment, the three of them were still studying how to deal with the next offensive of the Renaissance Army.
However, when the 34th Division called for help, an officer who answered the phone was horrified.
"What? Daguanzhuang was attacked? Aren't the troops in Dongcao Village and Xingjiazhuang ours?"
The officer's shout was heard by the entire command center.
It immediately caused a sensation.
The expressions of Cao Guofeng and the other two changed drastically.
They knew very well what Daguanzhuang was.
This is not only their logistics supply center, but also their only channel to Quancheng.
If something happens in Daguanzhuang, they will be trapped.
Thinking of this, Tong Yong's face became even more gloomy.
"Everyone, I'm afraid we've been fooled!"
"Fooled? What do you mean?"
Cao Guofeng's thoughts were a bit confused at the moment, so he asked casually.
"I've always felt that something is wrong with the Renaissance Army these days. Their offensive seems fierce, but they haven't been able to break through our positions.
Thunder, little rain.
They probably did this to make us ask for help from Quancheng.
And the situation was indeed as they expected, reinforcements from the Anyuan Army arrived.
So they immediately dispatched troops to attack Daguanzhuang, intending to annihilate all of our tens of thousands of people in Zhangqiu."
After hearing Tong Yong's analysis, Cao Guofeng and the other man's faces darkened.
As soon as the Anyuan army arrived, Daguanzhuang was attacked the next day, which further confirmed Tong Yong's guess.
This made Cao Guofeng look at him differently.
I didn't expect that this Tong Yong had average abilities, but he was quite good at making predictions after the fact.
"Quickly send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Duan and have him immediately dispatch troops to aid Daguanzhuang."
Then he said to the deputy commander of the Anyuan Army, "You must take the 13th and 14th Divisions by train immediately to rush to the rescue of Daguanzhuang. You know how important Daguanzhuang is. You must defend it at all costs."
Duan Yunfeng's order was quickly passed to Zhangqiu.
"Immediately abandon the Zhangqiu defense line and retreat to Quancheng!"
Daguanzhuang was attacked. Regardless of whether it could be defended or not, there was no need to continue defending the Zhangqiu defense line.
So this forced Duan Yunfeng to give up this line of defense.
And he now has few troops available.
Since the Zhangqiu defense line is in danger, we can only withdraw our troops and concentrate them on defending Quancheng.
Cao Guofeng did not hesitate after receiving the order.
Then he looked at Tong Yong and said, "Scout Commander Tong, your Anwu Army didn't contribute much in the battle of Zhangqiu, so the task of covering the rear will be left to you, the Anwu Army."
"What do you mean?"
After hearing this, Tong Yong understood what Cao Guofeng meant.
That is to let their Anwu army take over and cover their retreat.
The fate of the Anwu Army can be imagined.
Cao Guofeng snorted coldly and said, "Deputy Commander Tong, I am the joint commander of the Zhangqiu defense line.
This is an order, not a negotiation with you.
If you don't agree, feel free to call Quancheng. Now you just need to follow my orders and replace He Banshan and Zhu Jiayu's troops."
Tong Yong's teeth chattered as he glared at Cao Guofeng viciously.
After a moment, he suddenly smiled sadly and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay... then let our Anwu Army cover your retreat."
Before the Anyuan Army even set out, the situation in Daguanzhuang had already changed dramatically.
Under the cover of artillery and air strikes, the four tank troops of the 7th Tank Regiment were divided into three groups.
Two Panther tank battalions with 90 Panther medium tanks took the middle route as the main assault force.
The two Type 4D tank battalions went around to the left and right wings respectively to launch attacks, while covering the advance in the center.
The left and right wing troops were also equipped with a mechanized infantry battalion each to cover the advance of the tank troops.
The 34th Division's hastily constructed defense line, which had no anti-tank weapons, was unlikely to withstand the attack of a tank cluster.
As a logistics supply center, Daguanzhuang has a large number of various firearms, including dozens of mortars.
The defenders of Daguanzhuang made use of all these weapons.
However, the fighter planes that kept circling and attacking in the sky made their mortars unable to move.
As for their large number of machine guns, they could not pose a threat to the armor of the Panzer IV and Panther tanks.
The Panther tanks broke through their defenses despite their firepower.
This also led to the collapse of the Daguanzhuang defense line. The soldiers looked at the Leopard tanks as if they had seen a ghost and ran backwards frantically.
At this time, the faster BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle rushed to the front of the Leopard tank and launched an attack on the core area of Daguanzhuang.
Although the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle is just an infantry fighting vehicle, its bulletproof capability is still very good.
Its frontal armor is all sloped armor, with a minimum thickness of 16 mm, and the thickest gun shield is 33 mm thick.
It was simply beyond the reach of their light and heavy machine guns.
When the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle rushed into Daguanzhuang, it stopped.
One soldier after another quickly jumped out of the infantry fighting vehicle.
Then they used infantry fighting vehicles as mobile cover and launched an attack deep into Daguanzhuang.
The further you push in, the greater the resistance you encounter.
“Boom…Boom…”
The BMP-1's 76mm low-pressure howitzer doesn't have a long range, but it's quite powerful. (The original BMP-1's main gun was a 73mm low-pressure howitzer, but since this is a Red Alert infantry fighting vehicle, it was changed to 76mm. It's just the BMP-1 name, so it doesn't really matter.)
At this time, the 76mm low-pressure gun played a big role.
Soldiers from the 34th Division used the buildings in the village as cover to set up firing points.
A single 76mm round blew away these firing points.
All the buildings in Daguanzhuang are made of loess, and there are very few houses made of bricks and stones.
But even so, the resistance of the 34th Division was very tenacious.
But facing the powerful offensive of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division, no matter how tenacious their resistance was, it was useless.
How could a flesh and blood body possibly withstand the crushing force of a torrent of steel?
What's more, it is in a plain area like Daguanzhuang where there is no strategic location to defend.
The defense line of the 34th Division of Northern Xinjiang was shattered by the th Mechanized Infantry Division.
It is only a matter of time to take Daguanzhuang, and it will not take more than 3 hours.
The reinforcements that departed by train from Quancheng and Zhangqiu were also attacked by air on the way.
The Second Air Force sent two Il-10 attack aircraft squadrons to patrol along the railway line.
If you find a train, destroy it immediately!
A train traveling on the railway was attacked by a group of Il-10 attack aircraft.
Not only was the train destroyed, but the reinforcements on the train also suffered heavy losses.
The air raid directly cut off their possibility of reinforcing Daguanzhuang.
Marching in an open area is just waiting to be bombed.
Unless it's at night.
But by evening, Daguanzhuang had already been captured by the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division.
As expected, the 34th Division resisted for an hour longer than expected and did not capture Daguanzhuang until after 6 pm.
In this battle, the 34th Mechanized Infantry Division annihilated more than 5 people from the 6th Division, captured more than people, and nearly people were missing.
The meaning of missing is not missing, but that their bodies cannot be found.
Basically, they were blown into powder or fragments during the shelling and bombing, and could not be put back together.
The fall of Daguanzhuang directly announced the fate of the two divisions of Anwu Army, Anding Army and Anyuan Army.
The encirclement has been formed and they have no way to retreat.
At night, the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division was unexpectedly attacked from two directions.
The attacks were from the 13th Division of the Anyuan Army in the direction of Zhangqiu and the 35th Division in the direction of Quancheng.
They took advantage of the night to march quickly, arrived at Daguanzhuang in the early morning, and launched an attack.
Liang Yuming, commander of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division, had anticipated this and deployed two mechanized infantry regiments in two directions.
The defense line of the two mechanized infantry regiments was as solid as a rock. Even in a night attack, the Northern Frontier Army did not gain any advantage.
Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were placed directly on the plain.
Every tank and infantry fighting vehicle is a firing point.
Not to mention that there were a large number of soldiers using these steel behemoths as cover to shoot.
The sky soon brightened and the Air Force fighter planes rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible.
This time, the Second Air Force dispatched six squadrons with more than 6 fighter planes to support Daguanzhuang, and also dispatched five squadrons to launch air strikes on the troops retreating from the direction of Zhangqiu.
A total of 11 squadrons of fighters and attack aircraft.
The Second Air Force also mobilized its entire force.
The Northern Frontier Army also encountered unprecedented fierce air strikes.
"Closing the net! Order the Fifth and Seventh Divisions to launch a general offensive and wipe out the enemy in Zhangqiu!"
At this time, the 21th Motorized Infantry Division no longer hid its strength and launched a fierce attack on the position of the st Division of the Anwu Army.
The 21st Division's resistance was not fierce, and they surrendered after a brief resistance.
This also made Luo Qing realize that the defenders on the front line had retreated.
Since they chose to abandon the Hebanshan and Zhujiayu defense lines and retreat.
This actually saves them trouble.
(I was lazy again last night, and when I woke up this morning I felt guilty. I will not be lazy today and will update three chapters.)
