Chapter 1329: The Second Sea Battle 3
However, it was at this time, just when the general of Barras had just raised his telescope and looked into the distance, that he realized that hundreds of heavy tanks were attacking their defensive positions!
The formation of these heavy tanks of the enemy army seems to be orderly and spread out in echelons, which is obviously a very standard attack formation. After seeing this, General Barras couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air. Although he had already boasted to Liu Qingshan about Haikou just now, when he really faced such a large number of enemy heavy tank combat troops, he still couldn't help but feel a little shocked!
"Wow, damn it, the enemy side has accumulated so many heavy tank combat units here! This, this, it seems that Lao Tzu is really going to fight a tough battle this time! At this moment, the general of Barras suddenly felt the severity of the shape he was facing.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββ
At the same time, he clearly saw that above the sea, the landing ship that looked large had already moved towards this side! Obviously, the construction of a logistics supply center on their side has already begun! The larger landing battleship was loaded with the supplies needed to build a logistics supply center.
"All personnel are ready for battle! Even if you die, you will die on the battlefield for me! We must not allow some of the enemy's heavy tanks to take a step beyond our defensive positions! Did you fucking hear that? At this time, General Barras commanded the junior officers under him with a loud voice.
"Yes, please rest assured General Ballas, we will be fully on duty!" At this time, the junior officers naturally looked solemn, although they had already seen the formation of the enemy's hundreds of heavy tanks, although they had already smelled how cruel this battle would be, but as soldiers, especially as soldiers under General Barras, they knew that the more they were in such a situation, the more they should maintain what kind of fighting spirit and will.
After seeing this, the general of Barras finally nodded with satisfaction, and then, he took another deep breath, and continued: "Pass my order, and the anti-tank troops will be ready immediately!" Damn it, give those big enemy guys a taste of rockets first! Other infantry combat units must provide good cover for our anti-tank units, and they must give full play to their advantages in long-range strikes! Do you understand? β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After all the arrangements were completed, General Barras connected the long-range communication phone with Liu Qingshan and reported: "Commander-in-chief, now, hundreds of heavy tanks on the enemy side are attacking this side!" Command, we are fully prepared for battle, and will definitely buy more time for the construction of our logistics supply center! β
After Liu Qingshan heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Yes, although before that, he had already expected that the other party would definitely not allow himself to gain a foothold on this Ariana Island so lightly, and he would definitely send a counterattack force soon! This confrontation on the beachhead is inevitable.
However, he really didn't expect that the other party's actions would be so fast. It seems that the one guided-missile destroyer combat formation that sank them on their own side still dealt a great blow to the other side, thus irritating the other side on a large distance. Therefore, the other party has only accelerated the pace of action!
However, at this time, under such a situation, Liu Qingshan is also very clear in his heart, that is, he has already finished saying what should be said. What happens next, that's not up to him. As soon as you want to make a judgment based on the situation on the battlefield, you have to make some real-time temporary adjustments.
At the same time, he was quite confident about General Barras's command ability, especially his ability to conduct such a duel battle on the battlefield below. Therefore, at this moment, Liu Qingshan didn't say anything more, but said slowly, but also very deeply: "Okay! A qiΔ act according to the plan! As the battle progresses, you can do it! You have the power to make temporary decisions on the battlefield. β
βββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Tom ~~~~ Tom ~~~~" The hundreds of enemy heavy tanks kept moving and shelling non-stop. The sound of artillery rumbled, shaking the heavens and the earth. One shell after another, constantly exploding on the empty ground, blowing up clouds of dark red explosion smoke.
However, since for the time being, they have not yet entered the range of those anti-tank infantry, therefore, in such a situation, General Barras and them can only wait, wait. Although, such a wait, it seems very helpless and aggrieved, because he does not have a heavy weapon in his hands! However, then again, such a wait is also very necessary!
The wind and rain are coming, and the wind is full of buildings. A large-scale battle between steel-armored chariots and pure infantry is about to take place.
At the same time, General Hibbit was nervously directing their landing ship, racing against time to build his own supply center in the shortest possible time on the beachhead that had been occupied by his own side! Yes, time is becoming more and more precious at this time. Not long ago, that landing ship had just landed successfully. Currently, the construction of a supply center is underway. It is estimated that it will take at least an hour before it can be built.
However, in this hour's time, will his hundreds of infantry fighters be able to resist the frantic attack of the enemy's hundreds of heavy tanks? Truth be told, no one can guarantee it. Moreover, although everyone didn't say anything, deep down, they all vaguely felt something!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββ
As the commander-in-chief of the Navy and Air Force, at this moment, that General Hibbit naturally felt great pressure. He knew that it was almost impossible to hold back such a massive attack of heavy tanks on the enemy's side by relying only on those hundreds of infantry fighters. Yes, it is.
According to the established battle plan, their carrier-based aircraft will play an extremely important role, that is, to use aerial bombardment to block the way to cooperate with the blocking operations of some infantry. Yes, at that time, I could only rely mainly on my own carrier-based aircraft, after all, they were above the sea, the closest and could strike at any time. And the two large air bases located near the main city of Roman Rio can only be used as auxiliary attack forces! After all, they are too far away from here, and the so-called far water can't quench the thirst of the near!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββ
However, as a reserve force, some long-range strategic bombers far away from here still have a certain role. That is, when they fly here, they may be just right in handy. And, once it really comes in handy, it will definitely be a big one! For this, this Hibbit is very clear in his heart.
However, as for when to let them take off, it's a trick. This really needs to be judged and determined according to the situation. At present, it is naturally impossible to do so, and should not hesitate any longer. So, after thinking of this, the Hibbit general put down the telescope in his hand, then picked up the long-range communication phone, and said sharply: "Pick me up the rear air base!" Fast! Give me the rear air base! β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Soon after, the airbase was finally connected! General Hibbit sharply ordered: "Is it the Misikronbi Air Base?" Now, I order you, all long-range strategic bombers, all take off, in the direction of the target: Ariana Island! Make no mistake! β
"Yes, please rest assured General Hibbit, we will take off right now, we'll take off right now!" On the other side of the telematics system, a powerful voice replied. That was the voice of the commander of that one Misikronbi airbase. In fact, before that, he had already received orders from General Hibbit to be ready to take off at any time and plunge into the battle at the front.
Therefore, in such a situation, they naturally did not dare to be negligent, and prepared all aspects of the preparation work very well. Just waiting for General Hibbit's order. At the same time, another air base on the Maca Plain was soon ordered to operate by General Hibbit. As a result, 50 to 60 sorties of long-range strategic bombers immediately took off from the two air bases in the rear and flew quickly in the same direction, the direction where the Ariana Island was located.
In this way, General Hibbit put down the telecommunication phone and picked up the telescope again. He couldn't help frowning tightly as he watched the nearly 100 heavy tanks of the enemy army approaching the defensive position set up by General Barras on that beachhead!
"Damn, this time, what kind of results will be, it won't be long before you know! Although it is difficult to predict the consequences, it is only possible to go all out! General Hibbit thought to himself, but deep down, there was a kind of worry.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Yes, it should be said that as a senior senior general, with his own experience, he can still have a rough judgment on a certain level of dΓΉ for this battle. To be honest, in the current situation, the time is not very ripe to build a supply center on top of the beachhead that has been occupied. However, he also knew that even the commander-in-chief was forced to do nothing.
For, according to the Commander-in-Chief, the longer the time drags on, the more prepared the enemy will be. He can also imagine such a situation. However, they did not know much about the strength of the enemy's ground combat forces here. In this case, you can only gamble on a certain amount of dΓΉ. As for the final result, no one can say.
But, then again, fighting, that's how it is. No one can dare to guarantee that every battle will be 100% victorious. If that were the case, the so-called war would not have much meaning at all. Moreover, in many cases, in many situations, it is just possible to do it, less is more! Even more unimaginable, that's what happens all too often.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
At this time, more than a dozen carrier-based planes had already taken off from the deck of the aircraft carrier moored above the Andaman Sea, flying over the wide Andaman Sea, and flying towards the Ariane Island!
Yes, it should be said that on a very large scale, whether the ground defense operation commanded by General Ballas this time can be successful, whether it can provide a strong guarantee for the construction of the logistics supply center that is being built, and whether it can win more time for the successful construction of the logistics supply center, is to look at the air strikes of these dozen small bombers!
According to the established arrangement, after taking off, these small bombers first carried out an air attack on the enemy's nearly 100 heavy tanks. In such a way, we delay the opponent's progress as much as possible, and inflict maximum damage on the opponent! General Hibbit also knew that it would be absolutely unrealistic to destroy so many heavy tanks of the other side by relying only on this kind of aerial bombardment.
You must know that this kind of heavy tank on the enemy side has quite heavy defensive armor. In this way, it also has a very strong defensive capability. In such a situation, since the enemy's heavy tank battle groups are not moving very fast, their strong defense capabilities have undoubtedly helped them a lot.
In addition, their attack formation is also quite reasonable, with echelons spreading, extending vertically, cooperating with each other, and covering each other. In this way, not only can they enhance their attack ability, but at the same time, it will also bring huge trouble to Liu Qingshan's bombing or blocking of long-range rockets!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββ
However, in the current situation, he can't manage so much. Yes, now, he can only let his more than a dozen carrier-based aircraft launch an all-out air attack on the enemy's nearly 100 heavy tanks!
Nearly a hundred chariots, mighty, swayed bursts of yellow dust that rushed to the sky, and in that roar, they continued to fire one cannonball after another, while advancing rapidly! They were closer and closer to General Barras's defensive positions, closer and closer! All the rocket launchers, at this moment, are also ready for the final attack! Just wait for those enemy heavy tanks to come into their range, and then they can strike them from a distance!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Yes, although they all knew very well in their hearts, that is, it was almost impossible to stop the attack of the enemy's nearly 100 heavy tanks by relying only on their infantry combat forces. Yet, despite this, they must persevere. This is their mission!
What's more, for them, there is also a powerful reinforcement combat force, which is cooperating with their actions! That is, the carrier-based aircraft that took off from that aircraft carrier on their own side! In this regard, General Barras also explained to them, emphasizing that they were not alone in the battle! Above their heads, the dozen or so carrier-based aircraft on their own side will play an extremely powerful role at a critical time! Their aerial bombardment will disrupt the enemy's offensive over a large distance!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββ
This qiΔ is finally coming! For them, they know very well in their hearts that they are about to go through a test of blood and fire again! Moreover, this time the battle was extraordinary!
In the past, even if they were to land on the beach, they would build the necessary logistics and supply centers on the beachhead they had already occupied in the shortest possible time. Moreover, it was the logistics supply center in TongguΓ² that allowed them to transport their heavy combat units to the beachhead in time!
This time, however, it seems that there is something special about the situation. Yes, it is. On the enemy side, it seems that enough fortifications have been built on this small Ariana Island, especially since the other side has worked hard here for many years, and actually retains a considerable number of the most advanced heavy main battle tanks here! And these heavy main battle tanks, needless to say, have become the last and only reliance on the enemy's side to hold on to the end!
This qiΔ has caused them to have difficulty in building a logistics supply center on this Ariana Island!
