Eight hundred and eighty-eighth chapter Jedi counterattack
Within three days, the Americans completed a perfect blitzkrieg.
The East Slavic people's Marka defense line collapsed, 6,000 people were captured, more than 1,500 people were killed, and countless people were injured, estimated to exceed 4,000 people.
Tens of thousands of people disappeared and fled.
Six of the eleven states in the Southeast Military Region have been lost in a row, and with the current situation, the fall of all the Southeast Region is just around the corner.
After the defeated army fled to Mineralnye Vody City, after being gathered together by the commander of the 1st Mechanical Division Mitinovich, they finally gathered two regiments plus the original mechanized infantry regiment, barely gathering a brigade with a little more strength.
That's more than five thousand people.
Commander of the Southeast Military Region Yakov finally saved his life, but he did not even dare to go to Mineralnye Vody City. Instead, he took an incomplete armored regiment of his own and fled northward, hiding far enough away from the Marka defense line.
More than 200 kilometers away, Stavropol tried to regroup the remaining troops.
After the defeat of the 1st Mechanical Division and the 9th Brigade, President Sergei issued a statement, severely condemning Mitinovich, the commander of the 1st Mechanical Division, for his disobedience to orders, which led to this great defeat.
However, after this statement was issued, it was immediately bombarded.
The Southeast Military District, Northwest Military District and Northeastern Military District, together with the military at the Donetsk headquarters, unanimously issued a statement that they will no longer accept the leadership of the current government's Ministry of Defense.
At the same time, it was stated that if the military leaders do not make changes, they will also refuse to recognize the legitimacy of the current government.
Under this circumstance, Sergey issued another statement the next day, announcing the dismissal of Yakov from the position of commander of the Southeast Military District, and at the same time called on the East Slavic people across the country to unite.
At the same time, he also appointed Hanovich as the new Minister of Defense and Commander of the Southeast Military Region to prevent the coalition forces from moving north.
Hanovich did not pretend to be hypocritical with Sergei, because he already knew very well that the defeat of the Southeast Military District had a bearing on whether the East Slavic Republic could continue to survive.
The Southeast Military District and the Northwest Military District are the two most powerful armies of the East Slavs. Once the southeast falls, it will only be a matter of time before the demise of East Slavs.
So Hanovich didn't have time to talk nonsense.
Before Sergei's appointment was issued, and even before Yakov withdrew from the Marka defense line, he had already begun deployment. First, he immediately ordered various occupied areas to organize spontaneous resistance armies to harass the American transportation lines behind enemy lines.
The second step was to order the troops that had retreated from the Marka defense line to withdraw to Stavropol to be reorganized by Mitinovich, and at the same time ordered the former commander of the Southeast Military District Yakov to be placed under house arrest.
At the same time, he dispatched a total of more than 20 combat troops, almost composed of platoon-level and company-level units, to attack everywhere, go around the back of the Marka defense line, and harass and attack American supplies everywhere.
And destroy the road from Pytigorska to Mineralnye Vody.
When Hanovich finished these things, an American armored regiment and a motorized infantry regiment were driving non-stop to Mineralnye Vody.
In order to cover the retreat of the main force, a blocking battle was launched.
Responsible for blocking were an artillery battalion and an armored battalion under the First Mechanical Division that had successfully retreated, as well as a militia organization of more than 600 people from the city of Pytigorska.
There are approximately more than 1,500 people, and they have built a large number of fortifications in the town of Enelge and the village of Zema, which are the only way from Paicheng to Mineral Water City.
Originally, Hanovich himself was responsible for blocking the attack, but his staff officer disagreed. In the end, Annesic, the deputy commander of the 1st Mechanical Division, took over as the commander.
Luo Lin went into battle and led a commando team composed of more than 150 elite soldiers to conduct sneak attacks and support.
They built five blocking fortifications along a stretch of more than 20 kilometers.
Of course, because we were short on time, the so-called fortifications were just trenches.
When the Americans advanced to the first line of defense, they discovered a large-scale sniper attack by the East Slavs and knew that the East Slavs had been prepared. However, they did not pay too much attention, thinking that this was just a small resistance.
So he followed suit and called for air force support.
And they dispatched armed helicopters.
Annesich ordered the artillery battalion lurking in the dense forest to ambush and stay still, while the artillery and armored vehicles in the trenches on the other side, as well as some anti-aircraft artillery fire, launched a fierce counterattack.
After losing several armed helicopters, the Americans realized something was wrong and immediately called for fighter planes for support.
Then a dozen fighter planes bombed the first line of sniper defense, destroying almost all the fortifications.
As the air force descended, the Ottoman armored forces rumbled close to the first line of defenses.
After a brief exchange of fire, the first line of defense was quickly breached.
Then the Americans followed immediately.
Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles entered the second line of defenses.
The Americans soon discovered that the firepower of the second line of defenses was even more intense.
They had to continue calling in air support.
Then he followed the same pattern and broke through the second one.
At this time, Annesich ordered the artillery unit hidden on the jungle side to open fire with all its strength. More than thirty heavy artillery pieces and a dozen multiple rocket launchers instantly covered the entire armored force of the coalition forces.
In just twenty minutes, the coalition forces lost more than thirty tanks of various types, and the entire advancing force was completely paralyzed.
When the American air support returned to the battlefield, they were greeted by sudden anti-aircraft fire.
Although the Americans did not suffer much losses, after being so frightened, the armored regiment's advance in the assault on Mineral Water City slowed down.
It stopped directly on the spot for repairs.
On the other side was the American infantry regiment, which was heading towards Mineralnye Vody from the other direction, the town of Lamontov.
Here, the Americans encountered street fighting that gave them a huge headache.
The local militia organization was like a chicken. They played car bombs and snipers with them desperately, and blew up all possible roads leading to Mineralnye Vody.
Although the American army also had engineering units, they were struggling in the face of the East Slavs' desperate fighting style. The casualties were extremely heavy.
In particular, Hanovich suddenly assembled an air strike force composed of six old-fashioned armed helicopters. The sudden attack on the American infantry regiment suddenly stunned the unprepared Americans.
In the end, the Americans were forced to retreat from Lamontov.
It was not until the US Army Aviation Unit destroyed the counterattack of these suicide helicopters that the Americans regained their position.
As a result, the Americans were frustrated and had to temporarily stop their progress in front of Mineral Water City.
The plan to blitz Mineralnye Vody failed.
Of course, the East Slavs also paid a heavy price. In addition to the destruction of a few armed helicopters, the artillery battalion and an armored battalion were all destroyed. The number of casualties in one day exceeded 300, and dozens of combat vehicles were destroyed.
The car was destroyed.
As the commander, Annesic was also shot and wounded.
The Americans also suffered heavy losses, especially after being ambushed. They lost more than 40 tanks of various types, and more than 200 people were killed.
This is a terrible price for the American army.
Especially when they had an advantage in both strength and equipment, they actually achieved such a result.
The American army had to stop repairs, and while continuing to use its air force to attack the East Slavic positions along the line, it began to regroup its forces.
Prepare to launch the attack in two days.
Who knows, at this time the chess pieces arranged by Hanovich began to work.
He sent more than 20 harassing troops, and after sneaking behind enemy lines, they continued to gather broken troops from various places. Then, in order to gather towards Stavropol, these broken troops desperately attacked the coalition guard posts in various places.
Some simply attacked the US army's baggage troops directly. What's even more strange is that these sabotage troops achieved great success.
Being constantly harassed, the Americans were in great pain. They had to leave their troops behind and began to clear out the rebels in the areas they occupied.
Nalchik.
At the base of an airborne regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army, they had just received news. Thirty kilometers outside the city, a troop of about a hundred people had attacked the coalition's checkpoint.
The coalition soldiers at the checkpoint immediately called for air support.
An aviation regiment of the 159th Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division happened to be stationed at Nalchik Airport for repairs. The coalition commander immediately ordered six AH64 Apaches and six CH47 transport helicopters to carry hundreds of soldiers to support.
Just as the soldiers were getting ready to go, on the outside of the base, several pickup trucks loaded with bombs tried to hit the peripheral checkpoints in the center of the base.
The American soldiers immediately opened fire to block the attack.
Who knew that this attack was different from the previous ones. The attackers had multiple snipers, who in turn were sniping at the American snipers.
The Americans were also drunk when they saw this scene.
Because although the Eastern Slavs have recently attacked their logistics supplies and checkpoints everywhere, they are all far away from the garrison areas of the large troops.
But this time, the other party came directly to attack their garrison base.
In addition to an aviation regiment stationed at Nalchik Airport, there is also a mechanical infantry regiment two kilometers away.
These attackers are simply looking for death.
After the Americans estimated the number of attackers, they were even more surprised, because they found that there were nearly a hundred attackers.
Moreover, under their fierce artillery fire, the first checkpoint was breached by the East Slavs.
Then the car bomb crashed directly into the outside of the base, blowing down the entire gate.
They hurriedly summoned nearby American infantry for support.
Then they used heavy firepower to suppress the opponent's attackers.
But what left them speechless was that in the light of the fire, someone suddenly jumped up from the opponent's position and rushed straight towards their defenses.
The hail of bullets had no effect on him.
Over a distance of more than 100 meters, the man finished running in less than ten seconds. Then he raised his sword and, like a wolf rushing into a herd of sheep, eliminated the enemy's firepower one by one with his sword.
In the end, the American army desperately discovered that the opponent was not even afraid of grenades and artillery.
It wasn't until the warriors accompanying them recognized the opponent as a master holding a shield that the Americans woke up and hurriedly summoned special forces for support.
Of course, the so-called special forces are warrior assault teams.
In the world's powerful countries, such as China and the United States, warrior commandos will be established in regiment-level units, composed of formal warriors, about fifteen or sixteen people. These warriors will play a key role in tough battles.
The Americans have now begun to form warrior commandos even in battalion-level units. A battalion-level unit is generally equipped with three to five red-level warriors. It has more than twenty quasi-warriors at the Qi training level.
Therefore, after the Americans recognized that the attackers included high-level warriors, they immediately called for support.
But after the battalion-level assault team arrived, they were wiped out in an instant.
The entire defense line of the American army was thrown into chaos by one person.
There were countless casualties.
Then the regiment-level warrior assault team arrived, and they also delivered food to their doorsteps.
At this time, several lines of defense of the Americans finally collapsed completely.
Five or six bomb trucks of the East Slavs rushed in, braving the rain of bullets, and went straight to the airport, directly blowing up the third obstacle set up by the Americans.
After that, more than a hundred East Slavic commandos rushed directly into the center of the base, and then drove the armored vehicles they grabbed and opened fire everywhere in the camp.
One of the elite combat teams went straight to the airport.
At this time, the aviation regiment and the soldiers were just preparing to board the plane.
Then, four heavy trucks loaded with explosives plunged into the group of helicopters and armed helicopters.
Several terrifying fireballs instantly ignited in the center of the 159th Brigade First Aviation Regiment base of the 101st Airborne Division.
Americans stared desperately at the American soldiers struggling in the sea of fire and dozens of helicopters and fighter planes.
All the East Slavs who entered the airport were killed, but more Americans died.
But what made the Americans feel even more humiliated was that the East Slavs who were wreaking havoc in their camp actually broke out again and at the same time took more than 30 American soldiers and officers as hostages and tied them to Humvees as shields.
It would have been fine if they were ordinary soldiers, but those who were tied to it included Colonel Mitchell, the commander of the 159th Brigade's First Aviation Regiment, and the captain of the commando team of the regiment, a warrior with the rank of lieutenant colonel and early Huang level cultivation.
Just like that, the other party openly helped their commander, broke out of the encirclement of the American mechanical infantry regiment that came to support, and escaped.
The Americans sent people to follow them from a distance, but after they followed for a certain distance, they suddenly encountered an ambush.
The other side used heavy firepower to cooperate with the militia and resistance organizations, and stunned the pursuing American troops.
Since it was not immediately clear how many East Slavs had come. In addition, they had been beaten into fear before, so the Americans could only stop and ask for instructions from their superiors.
After hearing the news, Brigadier General Niels, the commander of the 159th Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division, was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He immediately ordered the Air Force to launch a large-scale search.
However, it was too late at this time. The opponent's sneak attack team was broken into pieces and must have hid in the nearby dense forest.
At dawn the next day, the Americans counted more than 140 people killed, more than 300 injured, and 27 captured. However, the number of East Slavs dead was only 56, and most of the injured were captured.
It was taken.
The 1st Aviation Regiment of the 159th Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division was completely defeated.
Paper could not contain the fire. Such a big thing happened, and the news spread at noon the next day.
The 101st Airborne Division has always been one of the ace troops of the United States since its establishment, and it has never lost so many men at one time.
But this time, the First Aviation Regiment of the 159th Brigade suffered more than 500 casualties in a surprise attack, a casualty rate of nearly 50%. In addition, almost all the fighter planes were lost, and the commander and important officers of the regiment were all captured.
The First Air Group has completely ceased operations.
With such a big incident happening in the rear, the Americans have no intention of continuing to attack Mineral Water City.
The armored and infantry regiments retreated to Pytigorska.
The forces of Nalchik City were reorganized.
But even if the Americans tightened their defense line, their supply lines were still messed up by the East Slavs, especially the supply line at Pytigorska that was in front of them every three days. In the end, they had to use airdrops to maintain supplies.
After several days of harassment, the Americans and East Slavs finally figured out which team was attacking Nalchik Airport that night.
The leader's code name is rh, and her full name is Rowling Hanovich, the daughter of the new commander of the Southeast Military District, Hanovich, the former company commander of the 107th Independent Brigade Headquarters Special Operations Unit, and now the Snow Wolf Commando of the East Slavic Southeast Military District.
Captain, Army Major Rowling.
Immediately, Rowling immediately ranked fifth on the Americans' hunting list, second only to the commanders of the four major military regions, and even one place higher than President Sergey.
Just after Rowling was listed as one of the most wanted persons in the United States, Snow Wolf quickly attacked again and raided the American coalition command post stationed in Patigoska City.
However, the Americans were also cunning, and the command post deliberately left the city empty to lure the snow wolves into a surprise attack so that they could gather together and annihilate them.
But Snow Wolf really got through, and even deliberately attacked forcefully.
Rowling and her men blew up the entire command post.
Finally, he managed to escape from the encirclement.
The Americans were stunned.
This is tantamount to a slap in the face to Americans.
What's even more shocking is that the Americans could only watch Rowling escape, but no one dared to pursue her.
Although Commander Fletcher escaped by chance, one of his trusted lieutenant colonel staff officers was captured. However, no one could stop him from trying the same trick.
Americans were somewhat irritated by Snow Wolf's behavior.
So there was only one way to do it, to increase the number of troops.
Three days later, the US army, which was reinforced from the north by Georgia, also entered Nalchik.
There are a total of two mechanized infantry brigades and a Marine Corps regiment, with approximately nearly 10,000 people.
On the fourth day after the attack on Nalchik Airport, the United States prepared to hold a mourning ceremony to bid farewell to the more than 1,000 American soldiers who died in the war more than half a month ago.
The ceremony was held in front of the Monument to the Heroes of Lady Nalchikslav.
After hearing the news, Rowling stared at the handsome young man in front of her, curled up with her hands clasped together, and her pretty face tightened: "We must not let them succeed, they are deliberately humiliating us."
"Humiliation?" Ning Yi frowned slightly, "Does it have any special meaning?"
"The monument was erected by our Slavs a hundred years ago by Slavic warriors who sacrificed their lives to resist foreign aggression. It symbolizes our spirit of resisting foreign aggression. They are now deliberately holding a mourning ceremony there, which is an insult to us." (To be completed.)
