When Pei Chengyi woke up, the situation of the battle had become unrecognizable. After the thugs' marching for a night, the vanguard of the Mi Army and the Blade Army had reached the north of Howra. According to the combat orders issued by Yuan Chenhao at night, the Blade Army's Spy Armor Assault Brigade of the Blade Army completed the tactical encirclement of Howra under the cover of the Air Brigade, and controlled the railway and highway routes between Howra and Gardenridge in the west bank of the Ganges River. It opened a southward passage for the Mi Army and the Dajun.

While Pei Chengyi was having breakfast, the vanguard of the Bing Army and the Dajun army had already bypassed Howrah.

According to Yuan Chenhao's intention, in order to ensure the safety of the island army and the blade army, before attacking Kolkata, the sword army and the air thug brigade served as the battle reserve team and rested on the front line.

Pei Chengyi did not adjust his combat deployment and threw the mission of besieging Kolkata to Yuan Chenhao.

When he was able to defeat Kolkata with a firm victory, Pei Chengyi would not focus too much energy on the battle without much variables. What really deserves his attention is the battle in the direction of Ranchi.

After the Armored Division was defeated, the Third Indian Army did not stop.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Republic Air Force and Army Air Force had to rest, the Dingshi Armored Division, which followed the Dingshi Armored Division, left Bendu after dawn and advanced towards Ranchi.

Although Yuan Chenhao arranged a ship to believe that the airborne nephew brigade provided support, the carrier-based aviation had arrived at the battlefield. The warships that had supplemented ammunition also approached the Indian coastline again and used naval guns to attack the Indian army's ground forces, the three divisions were the main divisions of the Indian army. The local area was less than a thousand meters away from Ranchi. Before the fire strike formed a blockade effect, the Indian army had already pushed the front line outside the city of Ranchi. In order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces, Yuan Chenhao had to let the fleet turn artillery fire to the Indian army near Bendu and perform the battlefield blocking mission. With the limited dispatch ability of the carrier-based aviation, it was impossible to effectively prevent the Indian army from attacking Ranchi. What's more, the defensive position of the airborne prison brigade was located in the north of Ranchi, and the Indian army launched an attack from the southeast.

After the old dot and blades were divided, the Indian army broke through the periphery of the airborne thugs and entered the city of Lanchi.

The Indian army did not bypass the urban area that had been blown into ruins by the airborne defense brigade, and gave up the flatter road. They willingly fought the urban battle with the airborne thugs in the urban area. It was not that the Indian army had strong urban combat capabilities, but that they were worried that they would be hit by air strikes and artillery fire in the field.

There is no doubt that the Indian army's choice is not wrong.

As long as you enter the city and get entangled with the airborne brigade, the support troops will be timid and many support methods will not be useful. Without the support firepower, the airborne thugs will have to fight with the Indian army.

At this time, Li Dongshi's deployment in Lanqi City was effective.

Relying on the ruins of the building, Li Dongshi only sent the thugs to block the Indian army. To be precise, he used various remote-controlled bombs buried in the lost category to deal with the Indian army.

According to Li Dongshi's instructions, as long as he did not retreat through the central line of the city, the thugs' nephew camp did not have to fight head-on fire with the Indian army. He only needed to make full use of the bomb traps that had been deployed long ago to kill and damage the Indian army's biological forces and delay the Indian army's attack speed. The more time the Indian army spends in the city, the more violent the attacks it faces. Even if the fire strike cannot be directed at the Indian army's attacking troops, it can eliminate enemies far away from the front line. As long as the Indian army's front line troops cannot be supplemented and reinforced, the Indian army's attack will have to stop sooner or later, and will eventually be driven out of the Lanqi city by the airborne brigade.

There is no doubt that Li Dongshi chose the most correct tactic.

In fact, this is not an innovation. As early as the five elders' blocking battle, the airborne thugs, the Trade and Tourism Brigade used the same tactics to deliberately give up some of the defensive positions, and used the tunnels underground to concentrate their forces behind the US military's front line, deliberately let go of the US military's vanguard and concentrate their efforts to attack the reinforcements behind.

Compared with the five elders, the city of Ranchi is much larger and there are much more advantageous terrain that can be used.

As long as it is done well, airborne without paying too much casualties! Shaolu can persist for several days based on existing supplies.

In order to ensure the security, after the Indian army broke through the outer defense line, Li Dongshi personally rushed to Dizhanmi Camp.

It’s not that he didn’t believe in his combat effectiveness, but that the veterans who participated in the Battle of Five Olds either retired or went to another single. Only Li Dongshi had relevant practical experience in the old 3rd Brigade.

When Li Dongshi went to the front line, the problem arose.

After discovering that three main Indian divisions began to attack Lanqi, Pei Chengyi, in addition to arranging more support forces, the first thing he did was to try to contact the brigade commander of the airborne Fujian brigade and ask about the latest battles.

condition.

As a result, when the battle started in Lanqi City, Pei Chengyi was unable to contact Li Dongshi.

This cannot be blamed on Li Dongshi, but before the Indian army attacked, the airborne thugs and brigades were electromagnetically suppressed.

Don’t think that the Indian army does not understand the importance of electromagnetic power. Although the equipment level of the Indian army is not high. However, with the careful support of the US military, the Indian army attaches great importance to the power of electromagnetic interference. The main force has full-band suppression electromagnetic interference equipment. Although the range of these electric impact suppression equipment is only a few kilometers, it is at most a tactical level electromagnetic pressure equipment, but it is enough to block the radio communication between the defensive forces in the city of Lanchi and the outside world.

Unable to find Li Dongshi, Pei Chengyi could only ask the Air Force to send thugs to Ranchi to build a husband-type unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. Use the imagined equipment on the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to understand the combat situation.

It was not until the thugs got a point that the unmanned reconnaissance plane was deployed.

At this time, the battle in the city of Lanchi had already started.

After seeing the "live broadcast", Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be said that the arrival time of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was very appropriate. At that time, the thug Liying, who was personally commanded by Li Dongshi, had just completed the blocking operation against the Indian army. The infantry who returned to the rear of the Indian army to conduct assault missions marked the front line between the defenders and the Indian army with yellow shields. After the aircraft group who were responsible for the battlefield support mission found an opportunity, they immediately began to bomb the Indian army that had not contacted the defenders. They were hit by the air. In addition to the Indian army front line troops who were dragged by the current battalion, the Indian army attacking troops following behind voluntarily withdrew from the city of Lanqi.

Soon, the staff officer of the front line command submitted a combat evaluation report to Pei Chengyi.

In just one battle, several main battle tanks and blades of several infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed. The Indian army's casualties would not be lower than those of the old fields. Some Indian army surrendered, and the total annihilation of the enemy was around the powerful people. Because they could not contact Li Dongshi, they were not clear about the four airborne thugs for the time being.

The actual situation is that the first thug was killed in the nephew camp, which caused injuries.

Airborne troops are worthy of being the best infantry in defense and combat.

Since the airborne thugs played so well in the Gongbu, what else should I worry about?

After asking the staff to contact Li Dongshi as soon as possible and inquire about the specific battle situation, Pei Chengyi found Yuan Chenhao and turned his energy toward Kolkata.

Pei Chengyi didn't know that the airborne nephew brigade fought well in the first battle because it was well prepared.

Although the Indian army lost dozens of armored combat vehicles and nearly four officers and soldiers, Li Dongshi also lost important bargaining chips for defensive operations, namely, bomb traps set up in the southeast of Lanqi City.

When the Indian army launched an attack, Li Dongshi had no choice but to shrink his defense line and retreat northward.

According to Li Dongshi's estimate, if you withstand the Indian army at most three attacks, you have to withdraw from the city. In other words, if you fight the disabled thugs in the urban defense war, Shao's brigade has to fight the Indian army to the death.

The situation is not optimistic.

The huge losses and casualties did not stop the Indian army from attacking, but instead made the Indian army even more crazy.

No matter what, the tens of thousands of Indian troops from the three main divisions of the Indian army are not fools.

After the first battle, the Indian army realized that it was not ground defense forces or air attack aircraft that blocked them, but explosive devices buried in the ruins of buildings on both sides of the street in advance. Although the Indian army did not have much equipment to deal with "roadside bombs", the Indian army commander believed that the strong brigade could not rebuilt the explosive devices in a very short time when the troops were limited. In other words, as long as the attack continued along the same route, the old 3rd brigade could finally be driven out of the city.

After having this idea, the Indian army immediately launched a second attack.

However, this time the one in front was not the Dianzhao Armored Division, but the Dianzhao Infantry Division.

It has to be admitted that the commanders of the main force of the Indian army are indeed much more powerful than those of the second-line troops and the reserve troops.

Although the comprehensive combat power of the armored division is above the mechanized infantry division, in the battle against cities, the mechanized infantry division can adapt to complex combat environments. Like field battles, in urban battles, only armored soldiers and infantry can cooperate to fight together. Only the strengths of the two types of troops can be maximized and complement each other's shortcomings. If armored soldiers attack the city alone, even the most advanced main battle tanks will expose their fragile sides and backs to the enemy and be hit by infantry ambushed in buildings on both sides of the street. If infantry attacks the city alone, they will not be able to obtain the support and support of armored soldiers, and it will be difficult to break through the enemy's fire blockade line.

After the attack began again, the Best Infantry Division put forward a regular offensive tactic.

The main battle tanks rushing in front are still the ones, while the infantry fighting vehicles follow behind.

Before reaching the end of the first attack, the infantrymen who were fighting in combat vehicles got off the car and searched for the ruins of buildings on both sides of the street one by one to eliminate the enemies lying ambushed inside.

Seeing this formation, Li Dongshi immediately asked the thugs to break off contact with the Indian army.

This scene reminded Li Dongshi of the Five Elders' Blocking Battle.

At that time, the US military took a lot of hardship and put forward the most basic tactics to cooperate with the armored soldiers and infantry to break through the position of the 3rd Brigade. Because it was unable to get close to US tanks and could not even find an opportunity to use anti-tank weapons, many soldiers from the airborne brigade used suicide attacks with the enemy. If the reinforcements had not arrived in time, the airborne thugs, the trade brigade would have fought all in that battle. At that time, Li Dongshi was mentally prepared to die and left a grenade for himself.

Li Dongshi didn't want the tragedy to repeat, nor did he want his officers and soldiers to die.

However, he faced a difficult problem.

Although after the Indian army crossed the end of the previous attack, bombs buried on both sides of the streets could be used to kill Indian infantry fighting on foot. However, when dealing with tanks, infantry with anti-tank weapons must still be allowed to approach the enemy tanks. Under the blockade of the fierce fire of Indian infantry and infantry fighting vehicles, anti-tank soldiers could not get close to the Indian army's offensive forces at all, and even advanced anti-tank weapons were ineffective.

what to do?

After talking, Li Dongshi brought the thug to the position of the 3rd Battalion.

The previous tactics were useless, so I could only use fixed-point blocking to drag the Indian army.

Compared with the five elders' blocking war, the biggest change of the airborne thugs is the fact that the strong combat power of the gang is the fact that the gang is airborne chariot. Although it is difficult to fight against the frontal battle. However, as long as the urban environment is fully conducive to the defense of one side and the defensive position is reasonably deployed, it will not be able to compete with the gang. Not to mention other things, the gang's blade millimeter electromagnetic cannon is absolutely "the side armor is set, in this special case, it can be used to fight the frontal armor.

The key to the fixed-point blocking tactic is still the coordination between the stairs and the trunks.

When the anti-armor mission comes out, not only should it be hidden and deployed on the enemy's necessary path, but it is also best to form cross firepower and not give the enemy a chance to hide. More importantly, a vanguard defense line must be set up nearby to prevent the enemy's infantry from posing a threat to those hidden in the building.

This is no longer a "remote control" battle, but a bloody battle, with casualties inevitable.

Before Zhang Zhiyan set off with his troops, Li Dongshi told him clearly not to fight against the Indian army, try to reduce the Indian army's advancement speed and lengthen the Indian army's front line.

As long as the Indian army becomes a long snake formation, the air strike can be effective. Even if the Indian army concentrates the main force in front, it is not impossible to deal with it.

It was not that Zhang Zhiqi was better than other battalion commanders, but that he would execute Li Dongshi's orders word by word.

The battalion commander of Li Battalion called over and asked them to take their troops from other streets to the side of the Indian army.

It can be said that this is a very critical deployment.

According to Li Dongshi's judgment, in order to avoid air strikes, the Indian army is likely to concentrate its main force in front and try to get close to the blocking troops of the airborne thugs. This will prevent the attack aircraft from bombing the Indian army in the city without the guidance of the ground troops.

In this way, air support is no longer expected.

Li Dongshi had only one purpose for putting the two battalions with relatively good combat power on the flanks, that is, when Zhang Zhihuan dragged the Indian army's offensive speed and defeated the Indian army's aggression. To be precise, it was to fight a tactical siege war, eliminate the gathered Indian army's offensive forces, and withstand the Indian army's second attack.

Because the counterattack war focuses more on flexible tactics, Li Dongshi sent two unobedient battalion commanders to the scene.

Li Dongshi knew very well that even if he could repel the second attack of the Indian army, the casualties would not be as small as that. More importantly, the Indian army launched two consecutive attacks regardless of casualties, and would definitely launch a third attack. Because the Indian army had more combat troops, the Indian army did not need to consider the mental state of the offensive troops. However, Li Sishi had to consider this issue, allowing each combat battalion to take turns to defend, and withstand the Indian army's three attacks at most.

Li Dongshi had only one purpose to fight to this point, which was to use the city of Lanqi to eliminate as much vitality as possible from the Indian army and reduce the pressure of the defensive battle.

The first shot fired at the first thug.

The battle was fierce. Although the ambush mission was still in the air, the Indian army quickly destroyed several tanks, but the Indian army immediately launched a counterattack, forcing the infantry who were on the outer cover mission to fight to the death.

After hitting the verbal point, the first thug camp had to retreat to the next pound. At the intersection, the morale of the Indian army increased significantly.

After hitting the thug, the first thug camp had retreated to the fourth intersection.

Although he was not at the forefront, Li Dongshi knew that the casualties of the first thug Zhaoying must have been very large.

If you retreat, not only will there be greater casualties, but the morale and fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the thugs, the thugs, will also be affected.

Morale collapsed, and no matter how powerful the troops were, they could not defend the defense line.

With a point of injury, Li Dongshi asked the thug to join the battle.

The two battalions have to deal with the six combat battalions based on the Mechanized Infantry Division.

When the 2-wash airborne chariot came out of the Indian flank, the two sides immediately became entangled. Due to the limitations of the urban environment, both sides could only open fire at a very close distance. There is no doubt that in this case, the power of armor-piercing has become a secondary factor in measuring combat effectiveness. Whoever fires faster and moves faster will have the most hope of killing the opponent and living to the end.

Obviously, there is no advantage.

However, the performance advantages of the Beat Wheel cannot make up for the quantity disadvantage.

When the troops are too dense, the numerical advantage is very critical.

What's even more serious is that a design disadvantage is exposed. To be precise, the design advantages have become performance disadvantages, so it will be light combat quality.

Whether it is Guqin or Indian tanks, it is difficult to spread on narrow streets.

In order to expand the front line and fully utilize the combat effectiveness of armored soldiers, whether it is not the same or the same, they have to find ways to leave the crowded streets. The only way is to pass through the ruins of the building. The one who decides the "wall-through ability" is the combat quality of the chariot. With a weight of more than ten tons, you can easily pass through the turning wall, or even knock out the prefabricated boards, hide in the ruins of the building during the battle, and open fire at the 2 flowers exposed to the streets. There is no doubt that the 2 is not so lucky. Because the quality of the battle is too light, even if the sprint speed is very fast, it is difficult to break the 2 ruins of the building at one time. In the fierce battle, even if the sprint is delayed, it may lead to catastrophic consequences.

According to the survey results of post-war war damage, at least one-third of them were not able to rush into the ruins of the building in time because they were exposed on the streets for too long and were destroyed by the feet of the Indian army or anti-tank weapons used by infantry.

At this time, the airborne thugs, the strong brigade, had fought face to face with the Indian army for the first time.

But this is just the beginning.
Chapter completed!
