Ninth Special District - Chapter 2707

The Hongdan Airport in Yemen is about 300 kilometers away from the inner port. The airport covers an area of ​​about 650,000 square meters. It is not large, equivalent to about half of the capital airport before the epoch, and He Dachuan led his 122 army. , We must resist the enemy here.

The Battle of Yemen is an annihilation war launched by the first district of Europe. Its strategic purpose is to eliminate the Gu Yan Corps who are in position here. Therefore, this war does not involve the offensive and defense of the main city, nor does it involve the occupation of the territory. . To put it simply, it means that the two sides have completely broken the other, and if they have not done it, then it will be considered a victory.

For such a war, there will be several obvious decisive points for the offensive side.

1. The offensive against the logistics support corps is very critical. As long as the defender’s logistics force can be broken, the opponent will lose the ability to continue the war.

2. Attacking military bases and airports controlled by the enemy is also a very important part. As long as they can win these important military lands, the other party will have no follow-up support and can only rely on the existing numbers and armaments to fight, and this is very important for the European Region. Because they know that the three major regions are capable of airborne support to the Yemen battlefield.

In addition to the above two points, there are also factors such as the advancing speed of the enemy’s forward defensive positions, as well as squeezing the space of activities of the Gu Yan Corps, allowing it to continuously retreat, and affecting the defense zones of the local military and political forces, which all determine the victory of the war. Negative key.

Based on the above reasons, the tactic adopted by Westbrook is to make the coalition in a triangle and attack the Gu Yan Corps.

The First Army of the Zhou Family Corps, in conjunction with the 33 armored brigade of the Marine Corps of the First District of Summer Island, and part of the fleet air force, attacked towards the Hongdan Airport.

In the central battlefield, the 20,000 armies of the first European area, in conjunction with the 30,000 army of the Zhou Corps, will attack the Huo Zhenghua Department and the Fatty Teng Department of the Gu Yan Corps frontally.

On the battlefield on the right, the naval fleet, in cooperation with the remaining Marine Corps, and two infantry brigades, is preparing to take the opportunity to attack the side defense area of ​​the Gu Yan Corps and serve as a sharp knife combat unit.

…

The frontal battlefield will not be described for the time being, just showing the brutality and passion of the battle at Hongdan Airport.

The person responsible for attacking here is Yan Hu, a general of the Zhou Family. He used to be a division commander. He was brave in wartime in the Seventh Zone and had excellent tactical command capabilities. When the Zhou Family was preparing to retreat from the Seventh Zone, he took his own division to cover the periphery. Task. His troops were also the last to withdraw to the ship. A full-staffed division fought to the end, and only less than 3,000 people remained.

After the Zhou family withdrew to Xia Island, it was Li Bokang and Zhou Xingli who proposed that the latter was promoted to the position of commander of the army and served as commander of the First Army.

The Zhou Family’s First Army has more than 25,000 men, and is equipped with two armored regiments and two artillery regiments. It can be regarded as Zhou Xingli’s trump card. The direct line, this old guy is not willing to use this force in the four areas of the battlefield. , This shows the preference for the First Army.

In addition to the Zhou Family First Army, the 33 armored brigade of the Marine Corps of the European District 1 attacked Hongdan Airport. They had nearly 6,000 men, more than 400 tanks, and more than 500 armored vehicles. Ability, very outstanding.

After Yan Hu was ordered, Li Bokang personally called him, succinctly stated the command: “The 33 armored brigade has been allocated to you. This is the trump card of the European First District on Xiadao. I have no other requirements, you must Conquer Hongdan Airport for me within two days and continue to push forward, forcing Gu Yan to shrink and retreat on the frontal battlefield.”

After hearing this, Yan Hu proudly replied: “He Dachuan guards the Hongdan Airport. This person is a bandit general. The troops he led in the inland before were not qualified to go on the frontal battlefield. The General Staff, I promise to be in Hongdan. Dan Airport kills him, two days is enough.”

“Don’t be careless.”

“Yes!”

Although Yan Hu seemed to answer recklessly and somewhat arrogantly, in fact he has rich combat experience and is very cautious. After receiving the order, he did not actually rush to carry out a general attack on Hongdan Airport that night, but ordered the troops to advance slowly, step by step.

The role of the 33rd brigade is to cooperate with the First Army, so the generals of the European First District still respect Yan Hu, because they also want to win, so they also gave the greatest cooperation in the issue of the advancement of the troops.

…

Yan Hu ordered the troops to stroll forward like an old lady. What is the picture?

It’s actually very simple. He is waiting for dawn.

The four districts are mountainous and the terrain is complex, and the line of sight at night is blocked, which is a disadvantage for the offensive side.

At three o’clock in the morning, Yan Hu’s Zhou Family First Army had actually reached the offensive position, but did not move forward anymore, but stationed troops along the offensive line and began to rest.

In the headquarters, a staff officer walked quickly to Yan Hu and said bluntly: “The commander, the air unit of the European District, conducted three investigations to the Hongdan Airport. They found that He Dachuan had used his air defense firepower and the artillery regiment , Are all placed around the airport, the defensive positions are about five kilometers away from the airport. And their main force, but they don’t know where they are scattered, so far no large number of infantry garrisons have been detected. The nearest one is ours. The location, there is not even a fortification, the door is wide open, I don’t know what the **** is going on.”

“Hehe.” Yan Hu sneered: “His infantry is in the air defense position. The front side of the artillery position must be on the surrounding mountains. I personally predict that their infantry is at least 30 to 50 kilometers away from Hongdan Airport.”

“Why are you doing this? They can build a defensive position on the outside of the mountain group to stop us?” The staff was puzzled.

“Because He Dachuan didn’t dare to place defensive positions around the airport. His army was adapted from a brigade, with a total of about 20,000 people. With such a small force, if it is stationed around an airport, how can we do anything? The armored troops of China pushed forward, and as long as they squeezed their defense zone a little, the air force on the back immediately had an offensive corridor, and a few waves of fire could blow the Hongdan Airport to a flat ground. Then what is the meaning of their defense? Yan Hu pointed to the map and said: “He concentrated the air defense firepower, and the artillery regiment was around the airport, just to prevent the air force from entering the air attack. The infantry was placed further in order to extend the battlefield space and prevent our armored regiment and infantry from advancing. , So that the airport will not be lost, okay?”

The staff officer listened to Yan Hu’s analysis and slowly nodded: “Well, according to that, He Dachuan’s mud-legged man really has some military command ability?”

“The three major districts have been unified for more than two years. He Dachuan is clean, hardworking, and obedient. Then Qin Yu wants to train him. Even if he is a pig, he must have taken off now.” Yan The tiger frowned and pointed at the map and said, “I won’t underestimate him, but I will kill him in Hongdan! Order the artillery regiment to prepare and wash the ground for me at dawn.”

…

On the mountain range about 40 kilometers away from Hongdan Airport, He Dachuan was wearing a red sweater and he was looking at the enemy’s offensive line forces with binoculars.

The sweater was knitted for him by Ai Tan, just for auspiciousness.

“Notify all infantry units that no matter how the enemy bombs, no one can leave the mountain position for me.” He Dachuan blinked his eyes and said, “Just shrink, learn the bastard!”

He Dachuan, who was not even qualified to go to the frontal battlefield, had experienced unification and had time precipitation. He didn’t know if he could produce a qualified academic report at Hongdan Airport.

At six o’clock in the morning, the sky was bright.

The air force of the first European district flew into the battlefield densely and began to drop bombs.

The most exciting opener of Yemen Battlefield has officially kicked off!
