After picking up the military order and looking at it, Shaher realized that his military rank had been matched with corresponding military power.
According to military orders, he is responsible for commanding the battle in the 12th area north of the dividing line.
In other words, tens of thousands of Country Y soldiers, weapons and equipment and other materials can be mobilized within a 50-kilometer radius.
With the offensive and defensive power of this land in hand, the responsibilities and rights have been expanded three times at the same time.
He was ordered to guard the town of Sekma and must keep this victory.
The military order gave him the greatest comfort. In view of the possibility that reinforcements would not arrive in time, he was given the right to use long-range artillery support once.
Flare combination instructions are set for different areas on the ground in Sekma Town.
At that time, the D bomb main base in the rear will cover the corresponding area with artillery fire for 10 minutes according to the signal flare prompts of the relay liftoff.
Finally, the relevant orders have been conveyed to all departments in the Northern 12th District.
At the same time, the nearest 2,000 troops were ordered to rush to the warehouse complex before 10 o'clock tonight to support the town from the underground passage.
Arrangements for the deployment of the rest of the troops will be at the discretion of Major General Shaher, the current commander of the 12th District.
"Congratulations, General, for being promoted to three levels in a row."
The staff officer stood at attention, saluted, and shouted seriously.
"Follow the general's orders and defend the town to the death."
The leader of the bunker troops had obviously read the two documents and immediately expressed his attitude of following them.
The 500 men stationed in the bunker won the collective honor without firing a single shot. They were very grateful for the officer's support and were determined to repay this good officer with both wisdom and courage.
"Thank you for your kindness. This is the credit of all the soldiers. The situation is tense at the moment. There is no need to hold a meeting to convey the message. Just let people inform the people in place."
Shaher handed the two documents and messages to the guard around him and asked him to quickly deliver them to each company to boost morale and defend the town of Sekma.
"You also have tasks to arrange. Now adjust the watch. I will tell you in detail."
Turning his head, he divided the labor between the two people who had just arrived.
"Yes, resolutely complete the mission."
The two of them took out their small notebooks and carefully recorded the specific orders. They soon understood the details of the operation and went about their business separately.
[In view of the general environment,
"Oh, what a headache. We don't have enough manpower. It's very difficult to hold on for two hours."
Shaher sighed secretly in his heart. It felt very awkward for such a battle where the command was inconvenient and communication could only rely on wired telephones or primitive transmission methods.
Everything has two sides, and he gradually felt at ease when he thought that his victory was also due to information asymmetry.
"It should be soon. I hope it won't start until after 8pm, but the other party won't do it."
The sooner you counterattack, the greater your risk. After all, the loss in numbers cannot be fully compensated by means and strategies.
As expected, he didn't get what he wanted. What was coming was finally unstoppable.
February 3, 7:30 pm.
Infrared video captured by an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft showed that transport vehicles of various sizes drove out of several caves at the foot of the mountains to the west of Sekma Town.
Divided into countless lines, they are running towards this side. At this speed, the convoy can reach the outskirts of the town in up to 10 minutes.
A rough estimate shows that the other side has dispatched at least 4,000 troops, which is more than eight times the number of troops stationed in the town. The situation is very serious.
In addition, according to the shape estimation, there were about 80 mountain guns and 30 main battle tanks, divided into two large groups, and came in a mighty manner, posing a huge threat to the hill in the southern part of the town.
The opponent took the lead, obviously to force Shaher, and sent heavy troops to defend the key points of Sekma Town.
Then use long-range artillery fire to conduct a round of carpet bombing, maximizing the
The vitality is greatly weakened.
Shaher was not willing to be fooled. When he reconnoitred and defeated the enemy's dispatch, he roughly understood the enemy's intentions and ordered the planned plan to be formally implemented. The commanders of each department could make adjustments according to changes in the battle situation.
This kind of situation requires the most flexibility. He did not blindly ask his subordinates to do everything. Many variables were impossible to predict, and adapting to circumstances was the most scientific tactic.
7:40pm.
In the small town of Sekma, an empty city strategy was staged.
All the ground troops on the Y side retreated into the three multi-reinforced exits, leaving only a small number of scouts responsible for guarding and reconnaissance.
The western suburbs of the town are only surrounded by a pitiful barbed wire fence.
There are countless trigger mines, delayed mines, and wired remote control mines buried in underground minefields. It is difficult to guess how effective they can be.
Across the minefield, about 20 Union prisoners were tied to tree stumps, their desperate faces illuminated by bright lights.
A large loudspeaker was placed in front of a prisoner who looked like an officer, which looked extremely strange.
Shaher did not have the manpower or energy to watch over them, so after they worked hard for a long time, he reused the waste to carry out psychological tactics to make the opposing soldiers feel sympathetic.
It is a heart-breaking act to disturb the morale and morale of the troops through the commander's decision.
This is a helpless strategy. It is impossible to prevent the enemy from attacking, but it is possible to delay the attack.
The hill in the town is less than 200 meters high, with sparse trees and gentle slopes with few rocks.
The explosion in the arsenal has damaged the internal structure, and digging deep pits for defense is risky.
The dark window passage only connected the east and south parts. The defensive forces basically fought independently, and their mobility was greatly reduced.
Although there are two barbed wire fences around the perimeter and a relatively larger number of mine arrays, their blocking effect is very limited.
Shaher has placed the most elite special forces, as well as snipers, combat robots, and armor-piercing gunners in the dark window passage to minimize casualties caused by shelling and to attack at any time to contain the enemy's attack.
Mountain cannons had a longer range, so Shaher quietly moved the 20 mountain cannons and a large number of artillery shells that were placed on the west side of the hill during the day to the east of the hill at night.
It was used as a life-saving magic weapon in a temporary cave dug secretly at the foot of the mountain.
In addition to the 30 mountain cannons secretly placed in the fortified villages, there were 50 mountain cannons on hand, which could barely form a powerful strike.
Shaher's other life-saving magic weapon is the 7 laser cannons and laser cannons in his hands.
In order to avoid damage during shelling, they were all disassembled into components that could be quickly installed and placed on the east side of the hill, ready to exert their maximum range of lethality.
Because the east side is relatively steep, it is not easy for bullets to land, so leaving it where it is is just to play tricks on the enemy.
In the northern dark window passage reinforced by burning oil bombs, only the eastern section has nearly a hundred special forces concentrated there.
As a result, except for a few scouts, the west side of the hill was almost unguarded and became a vacuum zone.
This was a dangerous move. In order to prevent excessive casualties, Shaher temporarily withdrew the guards in the simple bunker and planned to wait for the shelling to pass before attacking.
The nearest unit of 2,000 people has just been ready to go. The armored convoy, carrying ammunition trucks, 20 main battle tanks, 20 mountain guns and other combat materials, set off at 8 o'clock in the evening and will drive here as fast as possible.
Due to the difficult road bombing, it is estimated that it will take more than an hour to reach the warehouse complex.
Shaher ordered the chemical defense troops in advance to clear the mixed gas in the underground passage and widen the entrance and exit passages to ensure the rapid passage of reinforcements and support the ground battle.
He re-buried the wired telephone lines on the ground of the town, underground tunnels, warehouse cluster positions, and village artillery batteries, and arranged for several communication soldiers to be responsible for smooth communication, so that his orders could be conveyed in time.
Shaher put all this in place before 7:30, and he was worried that fighting would come to the town at any time.
7:48 p.m.
link
The Allied offensive forces separated 2 kilometers west of the small town of Sekma.
One unit organized the formation facing the town's buildings and set the distance between artillery fire.
One group formed a charge formation facing the west side of the hill, and then divided into another half to bypass the south side of the hill, trying to attack from both sides.
7:50 p.m.
boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
The expected long-range artillery fire finally roared from the rear of the alliance war zone, landing on the building area of Sekma Town and the entire hill area.
On a dark night, it's like a grand fireworks show.
The houses in the small town that had suffered several rounds of bombings no longer have complete buildings, and the old appearance has disappeared, leaving only madness, chaos, and blood.
The 20 or so Union prisoners who were tied to tree stumps screamed at the top of their lungs, but no one answered.
The pleas and curses in the trumpets were gradually annihilated in the ruthless rain of bullets.
The Union soldiers' attitudes were indifferent, sympathetic, pity, silent, or angry, sketching a true scene of the battlefield.
It has nothing to do with winning or losing, nothing to do with friends and foes, nothing to do with right or wrong.
No matter how kind a person is, he would not dare to give up the great benefits in the face of the obvious conspiracy at this time, and would be willing to be used to get the same result.
Shaher may not have thought that in addition to getting rid of burdens, the feedback received from this move might be even more crazy revenge and counterattack.
The human heart is the most complex and unpredictable, and the pros and cons can easily be reversed in response to a mental blow.
Playing with people's hearts may be equivalent to playing with fire. This is not alarmist.
The whole hill was blooming everywhere, the mountain was shaking, and another layer of skin was peeled off, and even the height was reduced a bit.
Except for the sparse artillery fire in the east, the north, south, and west were covered at least twice in just 10 minutes.
Mud, gravel, and grass clippings flew in the vortex of airflow and scattered irregularly.
In the dark window passages in the north and south directions, large pieces of camouflaged soil on the upper and lower peripheries were overturned, revealing the solid reinforced concrete shell. There was no big gap, which shows how much Zurich attaches importance to this mountain.
The dark window passage has experienced the baptism of artillery fire from both sides, and withstood the blow of ordinary artillery shells.
On the outskirts of the entire town, various landmines laid by the Y Defense Force had been destroyed or detonated, and their role was almost useless.
7:58 p.m.
boom! boom! boom!
10 heavy drilling D bombs, with vibrato secondary explosions, emit the metallic texture of a heavy subwoofer, which is enough to shock people's hearts.
Four fell in the central area of Sekma Town, and six visited the hill.
One of them directly penetrated the dark window passage facing the town in the north, and exploded twice in the 10-meter-deep soil layer, almost blowing most of the passage out of the mountain.
As Shaher expected, the worst situation occurred. The heavy drilling D bomb destroyed 3 of the 7 laser cannons and laser cannons hidden in the east, leaving only 4 usable, which undoubtedly made things worse.
