Chapter 48: Battlefield Triumph (Revision)
As Captain Miller introduced the situation of this regiment on the side of the sand table attack, the Emile. The more Derian was surprised. The equipment of this regiment, the more it is introduced to the later it is, the more powerful the attack force will be felt.
“…… Each company consisted of one 75-mm gun, five self-propelled mortars, five spray trains, five combat vehicles armed with 37-mm guns, and nine infantry fighting vehicles armed with two machine guns each, which were to form mixed attack groups during combat...... In this case, compared to the French army, the regiment should be evaluated as 1.5 in total attack, 1.5 in protection, and 1.5 in action...... Colonel Emir, do you have any comments? ”
Emir. De Leon shook his head, such an evaluation of a unit equipped with such a device is not excessive, and even quite compressed for such an evaluation. Colonel De Leon looked at his own fortified area under the protection of a minefield and suddenly felt that his arrangement did not seem so secure, especially in the face of such an attack cluster.
The more Captain Miller thought about it, the more skeptical he became, and the more elated he became.
As a professional soldier, commanding a powerful and extraordinary force is definitely the lifelong pursuit of a young army like him. And the team in front of him is such a force, both in terms of firepower and mobility, it is absolutely extraordinary.
"If, in the future, this experimental force is organized in this way, then ......"
At the same time, like General Xia Fei, he had deep doubts about Tang Yunyang's origins.
"Is it possible? A businessman, a Chinese businessman, how can he understand so many things? It's incredible! ”
(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481
Despite all the questions and exclamations in his mind, Captain Miller quickly read out the data listed on the data.
"Finally, the weather is fine on this day, and there are a hundred planes in ideal condition at your disposal, Colonel Emile, your planes include 80 fighters and twenty bombers...... The Don side consisted of 80 fighters and twenty attack aircraft designed for ground attack, and both sides had good anti-aircraft artillery......"
Soon after, with Captain Miller's introduction, the two sides began to fight.
As an achievement in the development of Western military affairs, sand table wargame plays an extremely important role in the analysis of war and battlefield situation when this achievement is combined with rigorous data calculation and logical reasoning.
At the beginning, neither side attacked, and the summary of "defense to change" was obviously the original intention of both sides. Of course, they have made some small moves and adjustments for the later battles.
The difference is that at the beginning, Colonel De Leon used his own large-caliber artillery to concentrate on Tang Yunyang's troops, which was the standard prelude to offensive warfare on the battlefields of World War I at that time.
Because Tang Yunyang sent fighter planes to sweep the balloons over the battlefield, the accuracy of Colonel Derian's artillery shooting was greatly reduced, and Tang Yunyang's ground troops suffered a slight loss.
Step 2:
Colonel Emir sent fighter planes to cover the bombers to bomb the heavy artillery positions on Tang Yunyang's side, but due to the air interception of Tang Yunyang's side and the return fire of the anti-aircraft artillery, the heavy artillery suffered only minor losses.
However, Tang Yunyang directly dispatched fighter and attack planes, and immediately followed Colonel De Leon's repulsed air attack plane towards his airfield. In the end, Tang Yunyang had only 20 fighters and 15 attack planes, and Colonel De Leon's planes were completely destroyed.
At this time, Colonel Emir was not surprised, he did not understand why Tang Yunyang's infantry was willing to endure the continuous bombardment of the first artillery of his side, and only mobile defense, not an attack at all.
However, he also began to be cautious, and the absence of aerial reconnaissance made Colonel Emir feel inconvenienced. Of course, he still didn't understand why Tang Yunyang seized the opportunity to sweep away his aircraft troops in one fell swoop. Fortunately, there is still a lot of anti-aircraft fire in his position.
Step 3:
Colonel Emir bullied Tang Yunyang's troops and organized three regiments to attack in three directions. His goal was extremely simple, as long as Tang Yunyang's supply route was completely cut off, then he would win this battle.
However, at this time, it reflects the strength of Tang Yunyang's all-mechanized regiment.
Not only did one regiment, under the protection of heavy artillery, hold back the attack of each of the three infantry regiments, but his planes even broke through to the depth of Colonel Emir again, not only eating up all his anti-aircraft artillery, but also completely destroying Colonel Emir's heavy artillery unit.
Of course, Tang Yunyang's air force suffered equally heavy losses, and in the end there were only ten ground attack planes left, and all fighters were wiped out.
Without the support of heavy artillery, Colonel Emir's troops attacked in three directions, and were defeated in the attack of Tang Yunyang's fully mechanized troops and heavy artillery, and the losses of soldiers were extremely large.
Fortunately, in addition to heavy artillery, Colonel Emir had a decent defensive system.
Although he had completely lost his heavy artillery, he had no choice but to hold on to the fortifications, hoping that these fortified areas would be able to hold down Tang Yunyang's troops and consume them little by little in front of the strong defensive fortresses.
When the fourth step:
At this time, Colonel Emir did not attack, he reduced all his forces to the fortified area, and firmly covered his supply lines.
At this time, Tang Yunyang's mechanized corps was dispatched, but he did not attack the fortified areas of Colonel Emir, but quickly bypassed these places. Although losses were inevitable along the way, in the end only a battalion of mechanized corps appeared behind Colonel Emir's position, completely cutting off his supply lines.
Step 5:
The emir organized his forces to attack Tang Yunyang's mechanized corps, which had already cut off his supplies.
Tang Yunyang's heavy artillery, at this time, bombarded the position of Colonel Emir day and night, completely blocking the road and the troop assembly point.
At the same time, all the remaining attack planes were dispatched, and the combat objective was to patrol the battlefield, completely dispel any possibility of enemy build-up, and block the road.
Look at the situation, Emir. De Leon was completely discouraged, and he didn't make any more night raids or any other tactical moves.
Because even if there is a night battle with Tang Yunyang's fully mechanized troops, the opponent's artillery and machine guns already have an absolute advantage at this moment, and they may not be able to take advantage of anything.
Second, with the consumption of infantry troops, the opponent may be able to occupy his fortified area from behind with just one charge, and if he continues to fight, then the loss will not only be his own troops, but also his dignity.
"I lost this battle, I admit defeat!"
Emir. De Leon admitted defeat very happily, and at the same time, he also understood Tang Yunyang's intention to make him the general of the defending side. This battle is an allusion to the Battle of Verdun, and if the French army had relied only on fortified areas, then there is no doubt that the battle would have been fought as it had just been.
"In this way, General Xia Fei does not attach importance to the defense of the fortress, and the establishment of such an experimental army is really a very prescient person! Especially ......"
If his son is one of the more part of this army, then there is no doubt that one day he may even become a general in France.
Emir. De Leon didn't expect that he was only half right about this sentence.
