Ninth Special District - Chapter 2708
The cooperative offensive between the European First District and the First Army really took modern warfare to the extreme.
The carrier-based air force outside Yemen dispatched nearly a hundred bombers before the general offensive launched and began to wash the ground in the mountains outside Hongdan Airport, and all air force attack locations were provided by Yan Hu.
Yan Hu insisted that He Dachuan’s troops must all be hoarding in the mountain group, because apart from that, they had no other geographical advantage to defend. In fact, his guess and judgment were also very correct.
Hundreds of bombers dropped at least two thousand bombs after flying over the mountains. The black smoke produced after the explosions stretched for almost 30 kilometers.
The protruding points of the mountain peaks were all flattened, and the snow on the mountain was gasified to produce a large amount of mist, broken dead trees, rock powder, and scorched earth spreading over a large area.
The He Dachuan 122 Army hiding in the mountain was also blown out of its original form. A large number of mountain bunkers that had been excavated were collapsed, and many soldiers were buried in the rubble.
The intensity of modern warfare is far from comparable to that of the Second World War. At that time, most of the shells hit the ground, and most of them blasted on the ground, and their lethality was limited to the ground. When modern airborne shells fell on the ground, it was a deep pit the size of a basketball court. And this also shows that ordinary fortifications simply cannot withstand this level of offense.
The chain-type and tandem-type trenches in the past are no different from paper-based trenches at this intensity of war. When a shell fell, a whole area was gone, not to mention the people hiding in the trenches. Therefore, in modern warfare, positional wars should be avoided as much as possible. If they have to be carried out, they will also choose to build defense zones with reinforced concrete, which is relatively hard.
It’s just that He Dachuan and the others just landed, how can they have time to build this kind of defense zone? So as soon as the air strike came, their combat attrition began to soar in an instant.
A large number of underground fortifications hidden under the snow were blown out, and mountain fortifications were destroyed one after another. In the center of the battlefield, many people were running, avoiding air strikes.
In the command position of the First Army of the Zhou Family, Yan Hu put down his binoculars and pointed to the mountains with full energy and said: “The only thing they can use is the mountainous terrain. Without digging dog holes, how can they be able to hold the attack? The fire hit them directly into their original form.”
“Yes, so far, at least eight thousand of them are hiding in the mountains.” The chief of staff agreed.
“The artillery regiment continues to wash the ground and beat me fiercely.” Yan Hu frowned and pointed to the front battlefield and shouted: “This is a wilderness area. The snow is too deep. Their soldiers are probably hidden in the snowdrifts on the mountain. Absolutely. I don’t have time to dig out a lot of bunkers, so I’ll round it up with three sharp axes.”
“Yes!”
After Yan Hu gave the order, the artillery regiment cooperated with the air force to attack the mountains. The intense artillery fire covered everything on the mountain, and there was thick smoke and fog everywhere.
…
Expeditionary Army, 122 Army Command.
“Commander, the first division and the second regiment have suffered serious losses. Their defense zone is too far forward. At present, more than 200 people have been lost. The wounded cannot be withdrawn and can only be treated in the cave.”
“Commander, the first division and the fourth regiment asked if they want to move their positions? Their losses are also very serious.”
“…Move a fart!” He Dachuan stared at him and cursed: “This kind of intensity offense is something we can guess before the war. It’s undead, and it’s called a war?! Notify the troops and just keep it for me. In the Siamese cave, no matter how the opponent fights, I cannot transfer the number of people and firepower to be exposed. At the same time, the engineer team was notified to continue digging into the mountain to make the Siamese caves closer together.”
“Yes!”
After the two parties finished the conversation, He Dachuan touched his newly shaved big bald head, feeling very anxious. Because the situation is passively beaten, and there are people making sacrifices every second, can he not feel distressed?
In this way, after the enemy’s artillery regiment and air force continued to wash the ground, the two forces had not yet formally contacted each other, and the First Army had lost more than 2,000 troops.
This is not because of their low combat effectiveness, but that their defensive position is too awkward, not only to block the enemy, but also to consider whether the Hongdan Airport behind them can be lost.
After more than two full hours, the enemy’s artillery fire finally ceased, and the fully loaded Air Force bombers withdrew from the battlefield due to insufficient ammunition.
Looking at the scorched mountains, Yan Hu immediately issued a combat order: “The armored forces are beginning to advance, and I will go into Hongdan Airport in one go!”
The order of the general offensive was issued, and the 33 armored brigade in the first area of Europe, in cooperation with the two armored regiments of the Zhou First Army, began to move forward frantically.
On the offensive line, the sky was full of frost and snow, and tanks and armored vehicles spread sideways, rushing to the battlefield like a torrent of steel.
The four regions are mountainous, but most of the mountains are low and connected to the plains. That is to say, it cannot effectively block the advance of the armored corps like the Draken Mountains. Tanks and armored vehicles can’t walk on hillside highlands, but they can enter the battlefield through connected plain roads.
As soon as the armored corps advanced, all the infantry combat units on the back also followed, tens of thousands of people joined together, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
But just half an hour later, when the armored corps came to less than five kilometers away from the mountains, they found it difficult to move.
The tracks of armored vehicles and tanks plunged directly into the mud about half a meter deep, and there are wavy deep pits in the mud. The heavier the car body, the deeper the track sinks.
As far as the current climate is concerned, the Yemen area is also in a state of freezing all year round. The ground should be very hard and there must be snow covered. How can there be silt pits suddenly?
The armored forces charging forward slowed down significantly due to the problem of rotten ground. After some officers got out of the vehicle, they found that all the land on the offensive line had been artificially overturned and the snow was melted by a large number of torches. Let the snow water seep into the ground, forming a silt pit.
The officers of the Zhou family looked forward, almost all of them in front were such bad roads, and the armored troops could not go.
In the command of the First Army, Yan Hu received the report from the lower level immediately, and yelled, “Fucking a B, can’t you go all the way?!”
“I can’t go. Not only is the road rotten, but the silt pit is also covered with trigger mines. The two armored companies in the front of us…were not aware of it and walked a distance…heavier losses.”
“Order the armored units to withdraw first.” After Yan Hu replied, he directly hung up the communication equipment, gritted his teeth and cursed: “He Dachuan, really surprised me. Imitate the battle of Iwo Jima and block the battle of armored forces. Fa, he’s a bit **** good!”
Yan Hu immediately adjusted his strategy, holding the communication equipment and shouted: “Remove the armored regiment and bring me the infantry!”
In another half an hour, the infantry combat units of the 33rd Brigade in the European First District and the infantry regiment of the Zhou First Army all rushed into the mountain and launched an offensive with the mentality of destroying the army.
In the command position of the 122 Army in the three major districts, Ai Hao snarled and shouted: “Commander, they are coming up. At least there are more than 10,000 soldiers. The soldiers of the European district are on the left side of the battlefield.”
He Dachuan heard the sound and rushed out of the mountain bunker, holding a gun and shouting: “The first, second and third regiment of the first division, move closer to my position, and go straight into the battlefield on the left.”
With an order, the countless soldiers in the mountain bunker all rushed out and rushed straight to the left side of the battlefield.
He Dachuan carried the gun himself, and after running for hundreds of meters, he lowered his head and saw the soldiers of the European District 1 rushing up.
“Fuck, finally came up. Quickly set up a machine gun position and do it for me!” He Dachuan pointed at the soldiers in the European District and shouted hysterically.
The machine gun positions were quickly built in groups based on mountains.
“DaDaDaDa…!”
The dense firepower net opened, the soldiers of the 122 Army were in a state of high and low, and they started to rush towards the soldiers in the first area of Europe.
In the command position of the First Army of the Zhou Family, the Chief of Staff looked at the mountain with a binoculars, and said incredibly: “God, how many soldiers are they hiding in the mountain? At least fifteen thousand people! They only hold on to the red core. The air defense force at the airport must have even the logistics personnel mobilized.”
“God!”
The brigade commander of the 33rd brigade was also dumbfounded. He looked at the battlefield in disbelief and said: “It has been less than three days for the Gu Yan Corps to enter Yemen. Can they dig out so many bunkers in the mountains?!”
He Dachuan told them with practical actions that the more than 10,000 people not only dug out bunkers in the mountains, but also created connecting holes that can be connected to each other.
Digging day and night, rushing to work day and night, although there are shortcomings, the determination of the 122 army can still be seen!
The three regiments immediately added to the offensive line of the 33rd brigade in the European First District. UU Reading www.uukānshu.com killed more than 500 people in just one round.
“…CNM, don’t care about the Zhou clan members of the three regiments.” He Dachuan glared at him and shouted: “Aren’t they the invincible Marine Corps? Lao Tzu is going to fight hard and eat all the infantry of the 33 brigade. I agree with one change, but they must lose their morale!”
“One division and one regiment, charge me!” A regimental commander led his troops directly down the mountain, fighting with the 33rd brigade enemy troops.
He Dachuan’s previous military command capabilities were indeed inadequate. He came from a bandit and didn’t have much culture, but there is an old saying that is good.
After the unification of the three major districts, He Dachuan, as the commander of the lieutenant general, would definitely not work without studying. He does not lack actual combat experience, but lacks theory and more advanced knowledge reserves.
The bandit is old, covered with scars, he can no longer do the work of the stormtrooper, but he can command!

On the other end, Meng Xi took the phone and asked, “Are you almost at the transit point? Well, I know…”
