What reassures the Alliance Lieutenant Colonel is that the only remaining bridge has a self-destruct device installed.
With the extremely strong three-dimensional firepower network and the reinforcement team he sent, there should be no problem in holding on for a few days.
In the event of an accident, there is still a last chance to block the armored forces on the other side.
He can actually rest assured about this.
Country Y will not attack the bridgehead position for the time being.
Because it is too easy to blow up bridges, insisting on attacking will not only cause huge casualties, but will ultimately result in more losses than gains.
On the Alliance side, after the tanks unleashed a burst of fire, they received an order to stop immediately.
Oil bombs are fired intermittently to block the enemy's attack and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
The strange thing is that Country Y, after barely holding on to the defense line at the three entrances of the passage, has not carried out any shelling operations. It is probably also preparing to deal with alliance reinforcements.
It’s 4:30 in the morning.
Nearly 50 minutes have passed since the contact battle in the underground tunnel.
Country Y is camouflaged, and the soldiers on both sides have the same uniforms. The light is bright and dark in the dark, making it difficult to distinguish them clearly.
The two sides were separated by a street, and both sides held fast to their own side of the house, firing reciprocally. There was no sign of cross-street fighting for the time being.
The Alliance side was worried that it would be difficult to distinguish the other side's soldiers after crossing the street. To be on the safe side, they simply stayed and waited for reinforcements.
Country Y wanted to rush into Dispersion, but unfortunately the entrance to the passage was right behind them.
With insufficient soldiers, all previous efforts would be wasted if the enemy fell, so it was temporarily unable to be implemented.
Time passes in waiting.
This situation is certainly welcomed by the alliance.
In another half hour, reinforcements will arrive one after another and will launch a counterattack to retake the lost position.
On the side of country Y.
From the other party's loudspeaker, I also heard the relevant reinforcement information, and knew that there was no good way to solve it.
Alliance side.
The interference of oil bombs and tank fire made the elevator transportation work very slow. It would take at least more than half an hour before an effective charge force could be organized.
The three passage entrances are not connected together and are fighting in isolation, with no synergy at all.
It will take at least an hour and a half to clear the entrance to the upper passage that was collapsed by the bombing, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearby.
Reinforcements near the opponent will arrive in 20 minutes at most. Even if artillery fire is used to block it, it is impossible to stop the advance.
What's more, once the opponent's armored forces arrive, there is no chance of success.
Of course, as a last resort, leaving a small number of disguised soldiers scattered and lurking may play a role in harassment and destruction.
For the overall strategic situation, it is just a drop in the bucket.
On the east bank of the Bura River, at the frontline headquarters of a division in charge of this operation in Country Y, the phone kept ringing.
"Master, if we don't make a decision, it will be too late."
"Commander, please implement the preliminary plan. The situation is already very critical and there will be no chance of retreat by then."
"Reporting to the division commander, 20 heavy tanks and 30 light tanks are ready and can be launched at any time."
"Reporting to the division commander, 100 programmed mountain cannons, 10 incendiary launchers, and 2 large smoke grenade launchers are ready and can be launched at any time."
"Report to the division commander that the interference force is ready and can launch an attack at any time."
…
After listening to the quick report from the headquarters staff, the major general division commander of Country Y finally made up his mind, grabbed the wired telephone, and issued a series of orders.
"All ministries listened to the order and immediately implemented the preparatory plan, leaving no stone unturned to kill the opponent's incendiary bomb launchers and strive to destroy the tanks to the maximum extent."
4:10 am.
Following the commander's order, large and small artillery fire from country Y crossed the Bura River and flew towards the intended target on the other side.
boom! boom! boom!
Bang! Bang
! Bang!
Except for the 60 programmed mountain cannons, which were aimed at the north and south directions of the opposite bank to block reinforcements, the rest of the artillery fire was all dumped on the enemy positions in front of the entrances of the three passages.
Within an area of 5 kilometers from north to south, harassment and attacks on the upper passages began simultaneously, with the intention of containing the alliance's defensive forces and reducing the pressure of the charge.
5 minutes later.
On the east bank of the Bura River, all artillery fire ceased.
On the side of country Y.
The three soldiers guarding the street took advantage of the long winter night and shrouded in smoke to rush across the street. After entering the house, they quickly tore off the camouflage outer membrane of their helmets to show their identification.
The few soldiers from country Y who were originally huddled in the power room immediately took up some defensive positions and entered a defensive state.
[In view of the general environment,
The soldiers transported out of the elevator moved forward in this manner, trying to penetrate deeper and deeper.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
flutter! flutter! flutter!
clatter! clatter! clatter!
Soldiers from both sides fought together, identified by the color of their helmets, and began a close-quarters battle.
The charging soldiers of Country Y were not willing to fight. They feinted with a tacit understanding and took the opportunity to rush forward desperately, trying to put some distance between themselves and the pursuing enemy.
In the process of moving forward, I would take a quick glance at my watch.
4 minutes later.
The soldiers of country Y began to count the time silently, looking for opportunities to hide in relatively solid buildings.
boom! boom! boom!
When the time came, intensive artillery fire once again visited the west bank of the Bura River.
This time, we focused on attacking the melee area between the two sides, bombing them indiscriminately without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.
"Damn Persian cats, let's all die together!"
"Damn, you're so cruel, oh, I got shot."
The Union soldiers who were following in pursuit were left unprepared for a moment, and those who were exposed on the street and did not enter bunkers suffered.
Before he could run, he was drowned in the sea of fire.
This time, the bombing time was only 4 minutes.
On the east bank of the Bura River, all artillery fire ceased.
Three charging soldiers from country Y emerged from their hiding places again and advanced towards the deep echelon.
Along the way, we killed several of the opponent's incendiary bomb launchers, greatly reducing the pressure on the elevator.
Groups of raiding elites spewed out from three elevator passages intermittently.
The number of infiltrators from country Y is constantly increasing, making the alliance lieutenant colonel anxious.
Now the two sides are fighting in a melee, and the Union soldiers have the numerical advantage after all.
Country Y has already launched an artillery bombardment. If it adds another fire, it will not take the responsibility of killing each other, so it can only give up.
It is equivalent to giving the opponent the opportunity to penetrate deeply.
The charge soldiers of Country Y took advantage of the artillery cessation to rush to the middle of the coastal market town.
This time, he began to count the seconds silently after 3 minutes, looking for an opportunity to hide in a relatively solid building.
It turned out that according to the preliminary plan, Country Y implemented the principle of simultaneous descent of shelling and intermittent time.
That is, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 minute, a total of 5 rounds of shelling and interval time.
The Union soldiers made habitual misjudgments and prepared to find bunkers for four minutes. However, they were hit again and they were so angry that they went crazy.
"Damn, Persian cats are so insidious."
"The first 5 minutes, now 4 minutes, the time is shortened simultaneously."
"Hold them off, don't let these bullies sneak in."
The Alliance soldiers finally realized the hidden mystery and took advantage of their numbers to organize a counter-charge offensive, making it difficult for the already scattered opponent's assault soldiers to resist.
Fortunately, new artillery fire soon ushered in, allowing the charging soldiers of Country Y to take a breather for a while.
5am.
The forefront of Country Y's assault force, after the last round of planned artillery fire coverage
, had already faced the alliance's third line of defense, and the battle instantly became intense.
The purpose of Country Y's raiding force is to survive, preserve its strength to allow follow-up personnel to disperse and lurk, and then wait for opportunities to counterattack.
At this time, the alliance's reinforcements from the north and the south, after paying a certain price of casualties, finally reached the three passages occupied by the Y country's raiding forces and started a fierce confrontation.
Assault troops, the elevator transports up and down, every 2 minutes.
Almost all the reinforcements are penetrating in depth. Where there are enough manpower to resist, they will be unable to resist at first sight.
Whoosh!
Three red flares were launched from three locations one after another, drawing a red line in the slightly twilight sky and briefly lighting up the earth.
On the east bank of the Bura River, in an underground command room at the forefront.
Through the high-definition camera installed on the high-rise building overhead, it was clearly observed that the raiding troops in the three passages on the other side had been compressed into the power room and the elevator room, and a request for artillery fire coverage was issued as a last resort.
boom! boom! boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Around 5:20 am.
Under an order from Country Y, 20 heavy tanks, 30 light tanks, 100 programmed mountain guns, 10 incendiary launchers, and 2 large smoke grenade launchers were launched to attack in a fan-shaped manner centered on three passages. Assault forceBuild 10 minutes of breathing space.
Taking advantage of this precious interval, more than 40 soldiers were transported up through elevators in each of the three passages.
Concentrate in the power room and wait for the assault, preparing to retake the defense line.
In the three upper passages, soldiers took turns to clear the obstructions and dug out more than half of the blockages.
It will take about an hour to complete all the clearance tasks to enter the ground.
same moment.
The armored troops reinforced by the alliance from the big city of Bago are less than 10 kilometers away from the riverside town.
We will be able to arrive in half an hour for blockade cleanup.
However, if we can't block the channel for the Y country's raiding troops to increase troops from the source, it will be empty talk to regain control of the lost position.
"Report to the division commander, preparations are complete. UAV reconnaissance has revealed that Bago's reinforcements of armored troops will arrive at the combat area in 40 minutes."
"Reporting to the division commander, analysis results show that the number of reinforced armored troops is estimated to be around 0.5-0.8 million, equipped with 50 light and heavy tanks each, 100 armored vehicles, 100 self-controlled artillery, etc. Once an encirclement situation is formed, several counterattack forces will attack. Come on, our strength is weak and I’m afraid we won’t be able to break out of the town.”
On the side of Country Y, the frontline headquarters.
The major general and division commander received reports on the battle situation from the front one after another. Although he was anxious, he was still calm.
In his opinion, as long as the three upper and lower passages are kept intact and reinforcements are continuously injected into the enemy's positions, there will be no worries about opening up the situation.
Therefore, preserving the channel has become the most urgent task at the moment.
He immediately ordered all artillery fire to be bombed every five minutes to help the channel speed up the pace of personnel transportation.
Within 1 hour, the channel must be kept running normally.
As long as this period of time is passed, after all the upper passages are opened, a large number of reinforcements can swarm up and fight with their opponents in street battles.
A confrontation situation is formed, and then the next action strategy is decided.
What Country Y relies on is exactly what the Alliance is most worried about.
The alliance lieutenant colonel commander kept shouting and cheering through the loudspeaker, and threw all the troops into the battlefield.
I want to regain the position with overwhelming force.
Unfortunately, Country Y's indiscriminate covering and shelling made it difficult for him to be effective for a while.
Several times he approached the passage and charged, but was driven back.
He knew in his heart that as long as the passage was not taken back, it would be like an opened Pandora's Box, which would no longer be controllable.
The longer the delay, the slimmer the chances of turning the situation around.
