After the Apaches of the Light Chasing Army joined the battlefield, the balance of the tank battle, which was still somewhat stalemate, was immediately broken.
The Apache helicopter is nicknamed the Tank Killer.
The Hellfire missiles mounted on the aircraft are specifically designed to kill armored troops.
Especially now that Daliao's tank troops have been led deep into the wilderness, they are somewhat out of touch with the larger army.
In this case, faced with a sudden attack by Apache, the tank troops immediately suffered a fatal blow.
Twenty Apaches took off and flew over like a god of death. Hellfire missiles fell from the sky one after another, immediately shooting countless fireballs on the ground.
These main battle tanks can withstand even artillery fire from the opposite side, but they really cannot withstand missiles designed to kill tanks.
Under the precise guidance of laser guidance, a large number of tanks were destroyed on the spot!
Rumbling explosions sounded one after another, and Daliao's armored troops were defeated like a mountain!
Seeing that the situation was not good, some tank drivers even abandoned their tanks and ran back on foot.
The tank troops of the Light Chasing Army took advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy's tanks, and fired fiercely to inflict damage on the enemy's tanks.
The stalemate was broken and everything was irreversible.
One tank after another was destroyed and turned into scrap metal on the wasteland.
On the contrary, the tanks abandoned by the soldiers lost their ability to fight back and were retained.
The battle is not over yet, the Light Chasing Army is already thinking about collecting supplies.
Facing the sudden defeat of the armored forces, Rogers was completely unprepared.
The time now is half past four in the morning.
In about an hour, three hundred tanks were completely wiped out. This was something he could never accept.
In fact, he didn't really expect the armored troops to defeat the enemy, but the defeat was a bit fast, and the delay could not be delayed for too long.
However, it was still delayed for an hour, and the defense of the Daliao troops here was almost ready.
It's not a perfect defense, it's nothing more than quickly digging out some bunkers with the help of the snow.
This kind of snowdrift bunker is usually vulnerable, but in this wilderness where the snow is two feet deep on the flat ground, this kind of bunker really has some effect.
At least the vehicles of the Light Chasing Army couldn't rush over. Rutgers was not afraid of relying solely on the two hundred tanks to charge.
In this kind of positional warfare, the role of vehicles is not decisive. In the end, it is the soldiers who play the decisive role.
If the Light Chasing Army uses tanks as cover and the infantry behind them to advance, then Rutgers has full confidence in holding on.
He told himself in his heart that if he persisted for another two to three hours, Volcano City's helicopter troops would come to support him, and then everything would be reversed.
The two sides did engage in a brief exchange of fire.
After the armored battalion of the Light Chasing Army annihilated Daliao's tank unit, it began to advance towards the opponent's position.
Troops directly under the battalion also launched a wave of exploratory attacks following the tanks.
The tanks transformed into bulldozers, rolling out roads in the wasteland for soldiers to follow.
Daliao's troops also launched a counterattack within their positions.
Numerous rocket launchers and individual anti-tank missiles focused fire on the tanks of the Light Chaser Army from all directions.
If the Light Chasing Army were not equipped with three-star tanks, they might have suffered heavy losses in this wave.
Fortunately, the powerful defense of the three-star tank can still barely resist it.
The troops of the direct battalion tried to charge, but quickly retreated.
There are too many people on the other side!
Even if tens of thousands of people perished in the flames, there were still nearly 40,000 people defending this position. This kind of bone was too difficult to crack.
"It's almost time to charge like this. There are too many enemies. No matter how high-quality our soldiers are, a hard charge will cause huge casualties, and we may not be able to win."
The people from the direct battalion withdrew, and the troops from the field battalion did not follow immediately. It was not a good idea to continue fighting like this.
Seeing this situation, Tang Zheng also signaled that the fighting should be stopped temporarily.
In fact, it is not difficult to defeat Daliao's people. The opponent's baggage is gone. Although there is some food carried by individual soldiers, they can only last for one day at most.
Even in this icy and snowy weather, it was difficult for them to hold on for a day.
However, the Light Chasing Army cannot wait now. The mountain fire behind them has gradually become smaller. Once the fire in the north is extinguished, they will definitely retreat to the north.
About thirty kilometers away to the east, there is a large abandoned market town. If Daliao's troops are allowed to run there, the variables in this battle will be too great.
Even if the Light Chasing Army pursues them along the way, it is impossible to completely kill these 40,000 people. What Tang Zheng wants this time is a complete victory, because in his eyes, these enemies have other uses.
Moreover, Daliao will definitely not give up this force. They may launch their ship again and forcefully cross the river to transport people for support. Although it is very difficult, Tang Zheng does not want to have long nights and dreams.
Seeing that the opponent's defensive positions were well-proportioned and deep, Tang Zheng knew that he should change his strategy.
He began to mobilize his troops and move them east.
Next, he wants to cut the opponent's position in half and end the battle as soon as possible.
Repelling a wave of attacks from the Light Chasing Army, this boosted the morale of Rutgers' troops.
From this point of view, there is no problem for them to persist. They just hope that reinforcements will not arrive too late.
These Daliao soldiers in the ice and snow cheered each other up and hid in makeshift snow caves, which also alleviated the cold a lot.
Rutgers is also constantly trying to restore the call, hoping to contact Volcano City as soon as possible.
The situation is moving in a good direction, and it seems like there is still hope for them.
Woo~~~!
Woohoo~~~~!
Boom boom boom~~~~!
Half an hour after the Light Chasing Army seemed to have died down, a long whistle suddenly roared, breaking the temporary tranquility.
Rogers was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard the sound.
"Flare!"
Someone immediately launched a flare, and the surrounding snow was lit up again.
In the darkness in the distance, a train was seen heading towards their position!
The dark car body and huge headlights were like ancient beasts, rumbling forward and making the earth tremble.
"This is impossible!"
When Rogers saw this scene, he couldn't help but roared hysterically.
"There is no railway near here. How could the train run on the wasteland? How did they do it?"
But his yelling was of no use at all. As the train moved forward, the snow was pushed away like tofu, and the railway under the snow was also revealed.
It's not that there is no railway here, it's just that it's covered by snow.
But Rogers and the others didn't know this at all, and they never imagined that the Light Chasing Army would spend a huge price to build the railway into the wasteland.
In fact, Tang Zheng not only built a railway here, but also built a circular railway just for this battle.
The soldiers in Daliao stared blankly as the train appeared. After a while, someone finally thought of attacking the train.
Countless soldiers opened fire on the train, with machine guns, rocket launchers, etc. desperately pointing upwards.
But they soon discovered to their despair that the train's defense was simply beyond their imagination.
Needless to say, bullets have no effect at all.
Even if a rocket falls on the train, it will only leave some scorch.
In this way, the train rushed into the middle of the Daliao people's position with an unstoppable trend.
Originally, they thought they could just avoid the collision of the train. Many Daliao soldiers even approached the train specifically to see if there was any chance of continuing the attack.
Unexpectedly, the train slowed down and stopped when it reached the core of the position.
Only when many Daliao soldiers approached did it reveal its ferocious face.
The soldiers who had been waiting on the train for a long time started shooting wildly!
Machine guns and Gatling guns caused the entire train to erupt in an instant!
Countless bullets converged into a torrent of metal, frantically harvesting the approaching enemies.
Dang Dang Dang Dang~~~~!
This kind of weapon, which can even blow up armored vehicles, is not easy to hit people.
The bullets swept across, and the soldiers in Daliao fell down in pieces!
That's a 14.5mm caliber bullet, or even a 30mm caliber machine gun. It can shatter a person when it hits someone!
There were more than a thousand soldiers on the train, and it was impossible for them all to operate Gatling and machine guns. The rest set up light machine guns at the shooting holes, harvesting lives like a whirlwind.
five minutes!
The armored train continued to erupt for five minutes. During these five minutes of shooting, countless Daliao troops were wiped out.
Around the train, the white snow was dyed red, and there were human limbs and broken arms everywhere.
At least more than 7,000 people fell to death under the five-minute shooting, not including some who were injured.
The defense that Daliao people are proud of is so vulnerable in front of armored trains.
And more importantly, the remaining soldiers saw that the situation was not good and immediately chose to stay away from the armored train and escape in the east and west directions.
As a result, their position was directly cut into two halves.
On the east side, the tank troops of the Light Chasing Army came up again.
The four field battalions all followed, and after a violent bombardment, the annihilation battle began.
On the eastern side, there are still about 10,000 Daliao troops, and now they no longer have the numerical advantage.
Facing the crazy charge of the Light Chasing Army, they quickly collapsed.
They had even lost contact with their superiors and saw themselves surrounded by the Light-Chasing Army. Soon some of them put down their weapons and chose to surrender to the Light-Chasing Army.
Their defeat was so fast that even Rutgers was caught off guard.
He also planned to regroup in the west, and the battle in the east was coming to an end.
At this time, the time has come to half past six in the morning.
Rutgers led the remaining more than 10,000 remnants and glanced feebly to the north.
Reinforcements did not arrive.
A round of artillery bombardment has begun on the Light Chasing Army side, and the tank troops are approaching again.
However, his men were demoralized, cold and hungry, and seemed unable to hold on.
"I'm sorry, Count Ferdinand, I tried my best."
Rutgers did not choose to commit suicide, but actively chose to lead his team in surrender.
When more than 10,000 remaining soldiers of the Lao army raised their white flags and laid down their weapons, the battle in the snowfield came to an end.
In this battle, Tang Zheng used fire attacks to force the enemy to flee, and relied on the cooperation of tanks and helicopters to eliminate the opponent's armored forces.
In the end, the armored train came out with surprise troops and defeated the enemy's position in one fell swoop, allowing the Light Chasing Army to complete its final victory.
With less than 20,000 troops, he annihilated the enemy's 50,000-strong army and captured 25,000 of them. The rest of the enemies were all killed and buried in the wilderness.
After this battle, Daliao's war potential was severely hit. Tang Zheng was certain that within four months or even half a year, they would no longer be able to pose any threat to the Light Chasing Army.
And to what extent will the Light Chasing Army grow in a few months?
