Chapter 1331: Barras's Defeat 2
In this case, there is no other better option for Sibbit. Fortunately, General Barras had already ordered his infantry forces to disperse and retreat, so that when he carried out aerial bombardment, he would not cause too much damage to his combat troops......
So, under these circumstances, General Hibbit gave an order, and ordered the dozen or so carrier-based planes to immediately launch a second aerial bombardment of the enemy's heavy tank combat units. As a result, I saw that more than a dozen carrier-based planes were constantly circling and diving in the sky above the enemy's heavy tanks, and then they threw down one heavy bomb with one heavy bomb on the other.
Suddenly, above the ground, there were once again bursts of dark red explosion flames that soared into the sky. In the midst of this heavy ground bombardment, it was only natural that it was not only the enemy's heavy tanks that were bombarded, but also the infantry forces under the command of General Barras who were bombarded at some point. Fortunately, they are not overly concentrated, but dispersed. In this way, their chances of being attacked and bombed are naturally much smaller.
--------------------------
In fact, at this time, General Sibbit knew very well in his heart that the biggest effect of this aerial bombardment was not to destroy how many heavy tanks the opponent had, but to be able to cover the infantry combat forces on his own side at a certain distance and retreat safely. Because after this aerial bombardment, at a certain distance, it was possible to disrupt the offensive deployment of the enemy's side. In the midst of the continuous bombardment, the enemy's attack plan was significantly affected by a certain course. In this way, it would also help General Ballas to once again organize his deep garrison combat forces, retreat back to the beach, and then, on the special troop carriers, return to the long-range heavy battleships anchored in the sea.
Indeed, in the course of such a circumstance, although General Barras had withdrawn once again to the maximum extent possible his infantry combat forces, the guò troop carriers, to the long-range heavy battleships anchored above the sea, it was inevitable that in the process he would once again be subjected to heavy attacks from the enemy's heavy tanks, and in this case heavy losses were inevitable.
In the end, General Ballas roughly counted that in this battle, more than 70 percent of the infantry combat force was eliminated. It can be said that since this time, it has caused heavy losses and great damage to the combat strength of his infantry, and it is difficult to restore his combat capability in a short period of time.
It should be said that such a situation was indeed something that General Barras did not anticipate at all. And it could even be said that it was the biggest defeat he had ever suffered. There has never been such a heavy loss as this time, and even, I don't dare to face it at all. Why is this happening? General Barras kept asking himself. However, for a while, she couldn't find a clear answer.
-----------------------
On the enemy's side, the dozens of heavy tanks, although once again subjected to aerial bombardment by the aerial bombardment force commanded by General Sibbit, did not cause much damage. It's just that because of the opponent's aerial bombardment, it obviously affected their battle plan. Otherwise, they have 100% confidence and certainty that they will not let a single enemy infantry combat force leave this beach and leave the coastline. However, just now, the other side's aerial bombardment was sudden, and it should be said that it was enough for them to indeed cause a very severe impact. But now, although the opponent's infantry combat forces have successfully evacuated here, the logistics supply center that the opponent is building has fallen into their hands.
------------------------
You must know that at this time, in this situation, the logistics supply center that Liu Qingshan built on that beachhead entered the most critical moment in a daze. Suffice it to say, the construction has been completed by more than eighty percent. However, at this critical moment, dozens of heavy tanks on the enemy's side pounced on them from all directions, like a tide.
In this way, it also means that this logistics supply center, which is about to be completed, can no longer be stored. So, the engineers who were building it, and the engineers, according to General Sibit's orders, immediately and decisively abandoned the logistics supply center that was under construction, and then quickly evacuated to the beachhead, through the Guò troop carriers, and finally returned safely to the long-range heavy battleships anchored above the Hyde plane.
I don't need to say anything more about what happened next. On the one hand, the dozens of heavy tanks, not long after, had already surrounded the logistics supply center that had been built. Then, tom tom, tom tom, tom tom...... A series of shells came one after another. Immediately, the logistics supply center was ordered to be targeted by dozens of heavy tanks on the enemy side.
Yes, for them, this battle, although in the end, completely drove the opposing infantry's combat forces out of this Ariana Island, but they themselves suffered heavy losses. In particular, the opponent's aerial bombardment force, two consecutive aerial bombardments, destroyed more than one-third of their combat strength. Therefore, in their hearts, it can be said that they have always been very depressed, and they have always been nested in a fire. Now, it's the perfect time for them to vent.
--------------------------
At this time, Liu Qingshan was in the battle headquarters in his ear, standing in front of that military map, without saying a word. He knows that this time he has failed, and it should be said that he has an unshirkable responsibility for a large extent. It can be said that the most fundamental reason is that he is still too underestimated. Although before that, for such a result, he had also encountered it. However, in the face of reality, he still can't accept it.
Soon after, the telecombinator rang out. After Liu Qingshan took it, General Sibit's voice came from his ears: "Commander-in-chief, now, our long-range strategic bombers from the Misikrumbi Air Base and the Maga Plain Air Base have flown over that Ariana Island. May I ask the commander-in-chief, what kind of tasks should they be allowed to carry out further? ”
After Liu Qingshan heard this, he had already heard the meaning she wanted to express from General Sibbit's words. Obviously, now, the enemy's heavy tanks have retreated again, and they don't know what to do. In this way, although their long-range strategic bombers have already flown over this island, they have lost their target.
After Liu Qingshan heard this, he immediately said, "What else, let them return immediately." There is no air base here, so can we just let them hover over this island all the time? General Sibbit, next, please draw up an attack plan for me again, and this defeat, I think, is a profound lesson for each of us. ”
After hearing this, General Sibit said decisively: "Commander-in-chief, please rest assured. Now, they are reformulating a global attack power battle plan. This failure should be said to be a wake-up call for us. However, the commander-in-chief, although this attack did not achieve any results, and suffered heavy losses. But, then again, this can only expose the combat strength of its own enemy forces here. In this way, we can all truly and effectively formulate the most feasible combat plan in the face of the enemy's combat forces. ”
After Liu Qingshan heard this, he kept nodding, and then he continued: "General Sibit, the most critical point is that the combat forces that we first rushed to land on the beach are too poor in combat ability. I think this must be taken into account in our next battle plan. ”
General Sibit continued: "Yes, commander-in-chief. I've taken this into account. In addition, I think there is another very important aspect, that is, in the current situation where we are not able to transport heavy combat weapons to the islands, the place of landing on the beach is naturally very important. Now, Commander-in-Chief, I am considering the most suitable landing site for the whole situation. In the near future, I will report to the Commander-in-Chief on the new beach-grabbing landing sites that I have chosen. At that time, our overall work of returning the two will also be released. ”
After Liu Qingshan heard this, he nodded slightly, and then said, "Well, it's good, it's good!" I'll leave this matter to you! ”
----------------------
At this moment, it should be said that the hermit of the general Sibit dared to be very embarrassed. Just as he said to the commander-in-chief not so long ago, there are two main factors that are troubling him now. One of the most important factors is the combat effectiveness of the troops that have landed on their own side.
What is certain is that, on the one hand, relying on their large number of heavy tanks, it can be said that on this island of Ariana, a very clear combat advantage has been formed. In this case, it is really difficult to change in a short period of time. Because, if you can't build a logistics supply center on this Ariana Island, it will be impossible for your own side of the Wild Lion series heavy tanks to land. This is a prerequisite.
However, it is not easy to successfully build a logistics supply center on the beachhead. This must require that one's infantry combat force can truly withstand the frantic attack of the enemy. However, after the last battle, it is almost certain that there are not enough infantry combat units, and it is indeed extremely difficult to accomplish this mission.
This is not in General Ballas's command, it should be said that in the battle not long ago, General Ballas had done his best, and seventy percent of the command room did the battle, long-range attacks and short-range attacks coordinated with each other, until the final scattered retreat, he was very good. We have indeed done our part. And the final result, in fact, the responsibility is not on him. For this point, whether it is the commander-in-chief or General Sibit, he knows it very well in his heart.
Therefore, under these circumstances, General Sibbit decided that in order to fundamentally solve this problem, it is necessary to come up with an effective plan for fighting the battle, first of all, to solve the problem of taking the lead in the battle of the combat troops that rush to the beach and land. Judging from the current situation, there is only one way to solve this problem, and that is to increase the number of infantry combat forces that can be used to carry out beach-rushing landings to the maximum extent. There is no better way to do that.
------------------------
So, how can we achieve this one goal? General Sibbit thought about it again and again, but it was useless to come up with a reason. Until then, they had been transporting their infantry units from the long-range heavy battleships moored above the sea to the beach, and then seizing the beachhead to attack.
However, relatively speaking, the efficiency of landing on the beach is still relatively low. So, can you take other ways to cooperate with troop carriers to carry out beach landings together? Is it possible to transport more infantry combat forces to the beachhead by other means? That's the crux of the matter. Now, General Sibbit seems to be seriously thinking about this question.
Suddenly, General Sibbit's eyes lit up, and he finally came up with another way, that is, the way of airborne landing through Guò, with the troop carriers, to jointly launch a beach-grabbing landing. Wouldn't that solve this problem? Thinking of this, General Sibbit was very excited. Yes, it should be said that this is really a groundbreaking idea.
So, after thinking of this, General Sibit was very excited to connect the long-distance communication phone with Liu Qingshan, and then said eagerly: "Commander-in-chief, now, I have an idea, it should be said, to be able to basically solve the dilemma we are facing now. ”
After Liu Qingshan heard this, he was naturally very happy, and couldn't wait to ask: "General Sibitt, what do you think, hurry up and say it." Now, my head hurts from the thought of it. ”
General Sibit continued: "Commander-in-chief, it is like this. Under the current circumstances, I think that one of the main reasons why we were not able to make progress in the last battle, or even suffered heavy losses, was that the number of combat troops on the ground we projected was too small. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, first of all, it is necessary to project sufficient combat forces on the beachhead in a short period of time.
"However, before that, we only relied on troop carriers to achieve such a goal, which was too inefficient. So in this case, I wonder if we should be able to think about other ways. A multi-pronged approach, using a variety of means, to project a combat force to the beachhead together. In this case, the effect should be better. ”
When Liu Qingshan heard this, he naturally couldn't help but light up. It should be said that it is still very satisfied with General Sibit's mention. Immediately, he said very happily: "General Sibbit, this idea of yours is indeed very good. Knowledge, we at present, has no other means than to project combat forces to the beachhead. I don't know, what kind of path did you think of? ”
When General Sibit heard this, he smiled slightly, and then continued: "Commander-in-chief, do you say that you have forgotten? Above the sea, but moored in this one of our aircraft carriers. Before that, our aircraft carrier, their main task was to carry out aerial bombing. However, judging from the current situation, relying only on the dozen or so carrier-based aircraft on this aircraft carrier to carry out aerial bombardment is not very effective. Therefore, I think, can we consider letting those carrier-based aircraft change their combat performance, from the original aerial bombardment, to transform into an air projection force? I don't know what the commander-in-chief thinks? ”
After Liu Qingshan heard this, it was as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and he suddenly realized. Yes, he finally understood at once what General Sibbit meant. According to General Sibit's opinion, that is, those carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier should be modified to transport infantry combat forces, and the way of airborne landing should be used to project them into the beachhead as combat forces. In this way, it will be able to cooperate with the troop carrier and work in two ways, so naturally, it is certain that the efficiency of troop projection can be greatly improved.
So, after thinking of this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help nodding frequently, and then said, "General Sibit, I finally understand." That's a very good idea. In this way, we will be able to project our forces in two ways and two ways at the same time. Since then, it has been able to project the final combat force to the beachhead in the shortest possible time. This mention yì is simply good. ”
