Chapter 372

The head of the headquarters didn't know the change of Zheng Quanli's old leader's heart. He gave the telescope to the guard on one side, and then carried his hands on his back.

A few minutes later, the long convoy moved toward the northeast, in the same direction as the attack of the peregrine falcon-1 gyroplane just now. Obviously, the head of the headquarters was very curious about the next action of the airborne troops. He wanted to have a further look at the unique skill of this light infantry unit to swallow up a heavy mechanized unit.

In fact, not only the head of the headquarters, but also a large number of senior officers accompanying them were curious.

It's beyond everyone's expectation that the airborne troops can fight this battle. Zheng Quanli has only five battalions. Apart from the firepower support unit composed of two mortar companies, two rocket companies and two anti tank missile companies, the remaining are the air defense company equipped with portable air defense missiles and a combat engineer company.

It's all about the light infantry configuration of yishuier.

It is because of this that if, under normal circumstances, the airborne troops lacking heavy weapons can meet the imaginary enemy's right-wing attack group with purely mechanized armored assault force, it will be very powerful if they can hold on for an hour.

However, the airborne troops in front of us, in addition to losing about a battalion of troops in the air attack before entering the departure position, have not suffered losses, but have caused great damage to the right-wing attack group.

As for the use of gyroplane to advance into the enemy's depth and attack the imaginary enemy's supply line, it was more like a magic stroke, which immediately made the fierce right wing attack group stagnate for nearly four hours on the 186 highland line.

Such a result is a miracle for a light infantry. If it's put on other commanders, we should establish contact with neighboring forces at this time, report the intention of the right-wing attack group, and contact the reserve team in the rear, so as to trap the main force of the imaginary enemy in the hilly area of southwest Yanshan.

In this way, the initial strategic objectives of the offensive forces have been achieved, and the rest is to wait for the arrival of the third echelon of reinforcements, and then try to counterattack to completely annihilate or defeat the imaginary enemy.

After all, in the face of the real iron and steel flood of the Soviet army, the disadvantage of the domestic troops should not be too great. Otherwise, when the Sino Soviet relations were at their most tense in the 1960s, there was no need to dig air raid shelters and train troops everywhere, because the Soviet Union really went south on a large scale, and it was really difficult to withstand Lao maozi's attack.

Because of this, to hold back the pace of heavy mechanized troops and to launch a counter offensive together with friends and neighbors or reserves became the campaign keynote of the army commanders in this period.

However, the airborne troops in front of them did not have the will to do so. To be more precise, they were more active in the campaign, and seemed to have the intention of swallowing up the heavy troops they were against.

Therefore, in addition to contacting their neighbors and reserves, they did not rigidly wait for the reply of their brother troops. Instead, they began to use their existing forces to launch a highly intentional surprise attack on the right-wing attack group in front of them. They had a posture of taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

If the layman looks at it, he really thinks that the airborne troops are playing well. After all, the right-wing attack group, which is short of logistics and has lost the ground air defense cover, is really overwhelmed by the airborne troops.

In less than half an hour, the flank was broken through three times by airborne troops. Twelve tanks, eleven armored vehicles, eight infantry vehicles and 22 other vehicles were lost. Half a battalion's strength was lost.

The parachute troops are not cruel, but that's all. After all, the senior officers accompanying the head of the headquarters are experts in this field.

The weakness of light infantry can not be made up by several skilful sneak attacks. What's more, the strategic intention of this flank attack of airborne troops is too obvious. Even if the commanders of the right-wing attack group were unprepared before, they should have experienced it at this time.

Even if these subjective factors are ignored, the right-wing offensive forces play the role of the Soviet army. How can they only play the role of ground forces? Is the powerful air assault force and strategic transportation force a decoration?

Sure enough, when the airborne troops were ready to organize the fourth attack, the air support called by the right-wing attack group arrived. As a result, before the attack of the airborne troops started, they were covered by the overwhelming air strikes.

At the same time, the air transport forces of the imaginary enemy forces also arrived at the area where the right-wing attack group was located, and the ammunition, food and oil poured down like raindrops, instantly replenishing the right-wing attack forces with insufficient logistics.

The right-wing attacking forces, which had been rubbed on the ground for nearly an hour by airborne troops, were just like mad bulls. Under the cover of combat aircraft and large caliber artillery, they launched fierce counterattack against airborne troops.

At this moment, the weakness of the airborne troops lacking heavy weapons is revealed. Let alone building a defense line, it is very difficult to resist. They can only fight and walk in the southwest direction.

However, the right-wing attacking forces are in hot pursuit, as if they will not stop until they eat up the enemy in person.

At this time, the head of the headquarters who had arrived at a temporary airport launched the map in the temporary director's department. The other two main directions were still anxious. However, the situation between the airborne troops and the right-wing offensive troops was becoming more and more clear. Looking at the situation marked by the staff on the map, the head of the headquarters did not have the slightest expression. It seemed that the airborne troops were just like this.As he said on the previous hill, the airborne troops have too few rotorcraft, so they can only do a small penetration and sneak attack, and can not form a campaign assault force that affects the whole situation, so it has little impact on the overall situation.

In this regard, many senior officers, including the head of the headquarters, said that they would not be disappointed. After all, everyone likes to watch the drama of "using the weak to win the strong and using the few to win the many". However, from ancient times until now, unless they have the absolute advantage, there are not so many examples of "using the few to win the many and using the weak to win the strong".

Otherwise, it would not be called a drama, but a case.

So these Army leaders began to move their eyes from the southwest front intentionally or unintentionally, and put their focus on the other two fronts, especially in the southeast direction. The offensive forces threw their reserves in and resisted the pincer attack of the imaginary enemy forces. Although the offensive forces suffered heavy losses, their combat effectiveness was still there, and they were cooperating with the reserves to launch counterattack against the imaginary enemy .

At the same time, the offensive forces in the Northeast have also gained a firm foothold, forming a confrontation with the imaginary enemy forces in the face, and the whole battlefield seems to be stuck.

Just at this time, the right-wing offensive troops suddenly stopped pursuing the airborne troops, made a big turn, and rushed behind the attack troops in the southeast direction along highway 56.

"The overall situation has been decided!"

Looking at the situation on the map updated by the staff, many senior officers have these words in their hearts, because the heavily mechanized right-wing offensive forces are still in a state of no one at this time. It only takes a few hours to rush to the rear of the southeast offensive forces and encircle and annihilate them.

Who can stop the imaginary enemy forces at this time?

No!

The head of the headquarters seemed to think that the exercise was over, and his eyelids drooped again, as if he was just waiting for the final result. At this time, the staff officer who reported the latest war situation came in a hurry. In a word, the whole audience was shocked: "report, the airborne troops decapitated, and the command post of the right-wing offensive troops was attacked, including the commander, The entire command team was killed. "
