Time flies by in a race against the clock.
The battle has been attacking and defending around three passages.
Country Y, on the other hand, began to stabilize its footing after paying a lot of casualties.
The alliance wanted to launch a massive offensive, but was worried about the other party's reckless bombardment, and fell into a stalemate for a while.
In general, both sides are increasing their troops.
Country y is temporarily in a weak position. If the alliance wants to regain control, it must win the passage position in a short time.
】
Alliance side, frontline commander.
A death order has been given to the lieutenant colonel guarding the position to retake the passage at all costs.
At the very least, we must ensure that the enemy is trapped within the town and wait for new reinforcements to arrive.
The Alliance Southern Command was originally very supportive of the Lieutenant Colonel's double tunnel plan, but now it has ended up like this, and in turn blamed it for its poor consideration and allowed the enemy to take advantage of the loophole.
They know that once it spreads to other places, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, after ordering Baguo to send armored troops for reinforcements, he also dispatched the same troops from Cote City to the area where the incident occurred.
Unexpectedly, Baguo's troops were not attacked. Instead, the convoy traveling on the desert road in Kote City was intercepted by the opponent's long-range artillery fire and bombers.
After blowing up several road sections, they could only disperse and move forward at a slow speed. Around afternoon, they arrived at the melee area.
In order to avoid a similar situation from happening, the alliance quickly changed its strategy.
All tunnel projects that have been built or are under construction on the West Bank have been stopped. Several self-destruction devices have been installed in each tunnel. If something goes wrong, they will be blown up immediately.
5:50 am.
The armored troops dispatched by Bago approached the fighting towns and began to set up blockades on the outside, preparing for the worst.
At the same time, nearly 2,000 heavily armed elite soldiers continued to drive armored vehicles towards the town, quickly replacing the original garrison.
The reinforcements attacking from the north and south, after receiving new orders, retreated to the north and south sides to form the first blockade.
Before leaving, blow up the upper and lower floors of the remaining 17 tunnels and flood them with water to completely defeat the opponent's attempt.
Aka, who was verbally promoted to the upper level, commanded his brigade to still rely on the third westward blockade cover to start street battles with infiltrators from country Y.
It is a pity that the opponent is hiding everywhere and does not take the initiative to attack. Searching building by building not only takes time, but also pays a greater price.
During this period, more than 500 raiding soldiers from Country Y set foot on the land on the other side.
After paying more than 200 casualties, we initially secured three passage openings and the nearby upper passage opening to clear obstacles for the new exit.
The soldiers who infiltrated forward still failed to break through the opponent's third line of defense and were blocked in the last street of the town.
Five waves of charges were unsuccessful. Considering that our own side was short of manpower and was flanked from both sides, we had no choice but to transition to a passive defensive stage, trying to survive the most difficult moment.
However, what awaits them will be an even more difficult battle.
6am.
2,000 elite soldiers from Bago, fully armed, crossed the third line of defense and joined the search and suppression operation in Akka.
The reinforcements brought new life detection devices and were divided into 100 groups.
Detect, shout, and attack street by street and building by building, hoping to eliminate opponents one by one and control the search area.
The Y country soldiers huddled in the corner of the floor quickly realized that the situation was not good and could only fight to the end, causing greater losses to the opponent.
Of course, according to the new rules of war, you can also surrender voluntarily.
After becoming a prisoner, at a fixed time in the evening, you can submit an application for withdrawal or be photographed and uploaded, and the number of casualties will be officially included.
By applying to withdraw from the battlefield, the soldier's life is safe, but his reputation is damaged and his family is humiliated.
Living is also a kind of torture or pain. At this moment, the alliance's artillery strikes were all dumped on the three lost passage areas, causing the three upper passages that had been opened to collapse and block again.
Some of the soldiers from Country Y who had just rushed out were also seriously injured in the artillery fire and suffered many casualties.
Smoke filled the air, shrapnel flew across the sky, and the fire lit up the gloomy dawn sky.
The rumbling sound of the cannon was deafening, and the rolling sand, rocks, walls, and dust flew in all directions.
It fell into the river, splashed for a while and then sank.
Houses continue to tilt, roads continue to become rough, destruction continues to intensify, and the entire battlefield becomes more and more messy.
After the alliance stabilized the third line of defense, on the top floor of a relatively intact high-rise building, two laser cannons and one laser cannon were reassembled, aiming at the three passages occupied by the opponent.
"Launch!" the captain ordered.
Three thick blue-white light pillars hit three passage openings one after another.
The penetrating high temperature burned the Y country sneak attack troops standing at the firing port, turning them into steaming buns and dying in mourning.
To make matters worse, although the buildings in the three passages occupied by country y have been filtered, the power supply in two of them was interrupted again, and the transportation rhythm was temporarily suspended, which undoubtedly made the situation worse.
The soldiers of Country Y were hiding in every corner. In desperation, someone finally fired a red and blue signal flare.
This is a reminder of indiscriminate artillery fire coverage. If you fight to die together, you have to pull a few backers.
6:20 am.
On the Alliance side, the bombardment that lasted for 20 minutes stopped.
6:25 am.
The artillery fire from country y began to perform, focusing on the third blockade area, and incidentally attacking the outer reinforcements of armored units, which kicked off a larger-scale confrontation.
At 6:30 a.m., the interrupted elevator resumed operation.
Soldiers from Country Y continue to enter the battlefield in increments.
6:40 am.
The three upper passages that had just been restored to traffic once again faced artillery fire from the Alliance.
The soldiers of Country Y who guarded the passage suffered a lot, and the soldiers of Country Y who rushed out of the upper passage suffered heavy losses.
After the artillery fire from the Alliance side stopped, it turned into artillery fire coverage from the Y side, performing a hat trick in turn.
This vicious cycle brings more destruction and destruction, and takes away more lives and injuries.
In comparison, the Alliance has an advantage in filling or replenishing soldiers, but suffers a lot from artillery coverage.
On the side of country y, repairs and explosions have been repeatedly entangled, and they seem to be competing with the shells.
The engineering troops accelerated their excavation speed, intending to thoroughly consolidate the charge channel and strive to break the passive situation.
Under the restraint of artillery fire, both sides were somewhat restrained.
The alliance, in particular, did not dare to launch a large-scale crackdown and scaled back some operations, giving the Y country's hidden soldiers a chance to survive.
Country Y relied on the support of the steel frame to open up the upper exits of two of the passages, solving the problem of low conveying speed.
The soldiers who filed out quickly dispersed and advanced to support the empty defense lines everywhere, speeding up penetration and preparing for a long-term hand-to-hand battle.
flutter! flutter! flutter!
clatter! clatter! clatter!
The addition of new forces within the ever-dwindling penetration area has reduced the pressure on hiding soldiers.
The shrinking soldiers of Country Y took the opportunity to launch sporadic counterattacks and cooperated with the reinforcements.
boom! boom! boom!
The alliance found that something was wrong. Through the scout's report, they learned that the artillery bombardment failed to prevent the opponent's continuous reinforcement of troops. They immediately concentrated heavy tanks to carry out targeted attacks, causing heavy casualties to the Y country's reinforcements.
In such a confrontation, neither side can gain any advantage.
It is estimated that the number of casualties should be relatively close, it depends on who can persist to the end.
7:30 in the morning. The dark sky began to brighten. In the far distance, the sun squeezed out of the clouds and illuminated the earth, showing a broad mind that tolerates everything.
The battle lasted for 4 hours.
As country y continued to increase its troops, both sides were fighting closely and bombing with artillery fire, and both suffered heavy blows.
In this 3-kilometer-long area, soldiers from both sides were fighting together. It was unknown who was hiding in various streets and floors, and the detection equipment could not distinguish the identity for a while.
The bombardment could only be temporarily suspended, and the battle situation entered a stalemate.
Country Y, on the other hand, cannot break through the opponent's third line of defense to the west and can only expand the penetration area to the north and south.
Therefore, we set our sights on the bridgehead on the other side 3 kilometers away.
8:30 in the morning.
10 heavy tanks gathered on the west bank of the passable bridge over the Bura River, preparing to attack the opponent.
The frightened Alliance defenders were worried that the other side might have unexpected means. To avoid repeating the same mistake, they simply blew up the bridge.
Taking advantage of the opponent's panic, the heavy tanks of Country Y fired hundreds of howitzers, all of which were dumped on the opponent's bridgehead position.
Unfortunately, the bridgehead position on the other side was too solid, and the armor-piercing shells had only lost one layer of their shells.
The core position is still impregnable and cannot be shaken much.
Unless heavy drilling D-bombs are used, it will be difficult to break through its solid defense line in a short while.
Alliance Captain Aka received the order to hold on and immediately reached the bridgehead position from the hidden entrance through the tunnel.
Aka redistributed the defense forces, guarded a heavy machine gun firepower point, and personally supervised the battle.
Because of the early warning, Aka was upgraded two levels in a row, and Aka established a heroic image in the hearts of the soldiers.
His actions inspired his men's fighting spirit to fight tenaciously against the Y country troops charging in from the north.
Country Y's heavy fire bombing has not worked, and it is not yet time to apply for heavy drilling D bombs.
After leaving dozens of corpses behind, the on-site commander who observed the actual situation through a telescope had no choice but to abandon the southern offensive and instead attack to the north.
As the passages opened, the Y country soldiers emerged from the three passages and continued to expand the streets they occupied.
After the attack on the southern front was blocked, it immediately switched to the northwest front to launch a fierce attack.
Soldiers from both sides fought in a melee, and the artillery temporarily lost its effect.
Both sides continued to add reinforcements, the scale of the melee and the number of casualties continued to expand, and the fighting was difficult to stop.
Here, because the alliance's dual tunnel plan was exposed, the remedial measures were not harsh enough, and instead the opponent used it to make a surprise attack, which ultimately led to today's negative consequences.
Based on strategic considerations, both sides have no retreat option.
The only way is to fight to the end.
The Alliance, in order to regain the lost position, will never let it go.
Once the defense line is lost and the door is opened, the entire southern front will be in trouble, and even the southern front commander may not be able to escape military sanctions.
For country y, it is inevitable and expected to pay such sacrifices and prices for strategic needs.
Moreover, if we can hold on to this area, or even rush into the big city of Baguo, it will definitely be worth paying a higher price.
A short-lived confrontation has basically taken shape. Both sides are determined to win, but are unable to get off. It has become an inevitable choice to determine the regional victory here.
This, together with the small town of Sekma to the north of the dividing line, will become a focus of contention.
It can be predicted that as both sides invest more and more troops, the two places will become meat grinders, thus greatly advancing the war process.
Judging from the current results of the dividing line battle, in general, the country y side has achieved the initial strategic goal, while the alliance side has fallen into a passive situation.
There is a huge difference between advancing and retreating, which is likely to affect the outcome of the war.
