Luo Xiao was in his headquarters, looking at the buttocks of the female officer who was hanging a portrait of Tang Mo. He didn't have any evil thoughts, but he just felt that something like this was a little incompatible with the tense war at the moment.
His 8th Army is encircling Shu on three sides. The connection between entering Shu and Caili has been cut off. Zhao Jie is isolated and helpless, and has almost become a turtle in a urn.
And his headquarters... now has bright windows and is located in a small village with pretty good scenery. It is 40 kilometers away from his front line, and there is almost no noise.
The armored vehicle laying cables was slowly driving past his window. Next to some tents in the distance, thick antennas were erected one by one.
This is the headquarters of hundreds of thousands of troops, so it is quite large. There are cars everywhere, troops stationed everywhere, and even anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft gun positions are being built.
No joke at all, the frontline air defense rectification opinions just issued clearly pointed out the changes in the combat tactics of Qin Army aircraft, requiring every commander to pay attention to air defense and concealment, and everyone must strictly refer to the rectification opinions.
In this new set of air defense guidance manuals, special air defense circles must be deployed near group army-level headquarters, including the latest air defense missiles and various types of anti-aircraft guns.
The anti-aircraft guns of the Tang Army were all cobbled together. The Tang Army had not been equipped with advanced anti-aircraft guns for several years.
As the war changed, those anti-aircraft guns that were considered obsolete and unused began to return to the equipment sequence and were temporarily arranged in various command structures to conduct limited air defense operations.
Looking at these backward, chronological long guns and short artillery, I really feel like traveling back to the past. There is no way, the air force of the Datang Empire is so strong that the army has forgotten that the enemy also has an air force.
Something's happened.
Two fighter jets roared past the horizon in the distance. They were Tang Army fighter jets responsible for patrolling. Under normal circumstances, those patrolling in places like this are second-line J-6 fighter jets, and the pilots are also newcomers.
"We have captured two outer neighborhoods, several factories, a school and a water plant..." the adjutant reported on the results achieved by the 8th Army in the past few hours.
Judging from the current results, the Tang army has controlled about one-tenth of the urban area. The Qin army that entered the city of Shu does not have much room to move. As long as there are two or three days, organized resistance in the city will be
collapse.
Street fighting is not only a test for the offensive troops, the chaotic front is also a test for the defensive troops. Stalingrad is not easy to copy. If anyone can achieve the brilliant results of the Soviet Red Army, then Stalingrad will not be the same.
It will become a legend.
In the absence of excellent commanders and soldiers with explosive subjective initiative, the defenders are the ones most likely to collapse in chaotic street fighting.
Every soldier fighting in the ruins has a limited amount of ammunition and supplies. Once these items are used up and there is no replenishment, they will soon be defeated.
A huge map was hung on the wall by several soldiers. The originally decorated small house now really looked like a command headquarters.
Several landowners who used to live here have already taken their money and left happily. The Tang Empire bought this place and even gave them some more... In the era of war and chaos, land can be converted into cash. For these landowners,
, is already a kind of luck.
Luo Xiao looked at several locations on the map, then grabbed the phone in front of him and called the commander of the frontline troops: "Hello? Long live your Majesty! I am Luo Xiao! Yes! Order your troops, before dark
Rush to the east square of the city! Repeat the order..."
"Secure the east square of the city before dark! Make sure to complete the mission!" The commander on the other end of the phone repeated Luo Xiao's order with confidence.
After hearing what the other party said, Luo Xiao nodded: "Very good!"
He hung up the phone and turned his attention to the area on the map again. As long as he captured the square in the east of the city, his troops would be equivalent to sandwiching a part of the Qin army between the water plant and the east square.
If the Qin army here does not want to be surrounded and eaten, they must retreat or find a way to recapture the water plant or the square... In short, they must either fight back or wait to die.
Regarding urban assaults, Luo Xiao, who was experienced in the Great China Civil War, has his own theory: as long as the troops attack quickly enough, civilian losses can be controlled within a tolerable range.
If you continue to make mistakes, you will suffer the consequences. If you look forward and backward in a tough battle and are afraid of casualties, the final number of casualties will definitely be greater.
Therefore, once Luo Xiao decides to capture Shu, he will not stop easily. As long as his attack speed is fast enough, the Qin army will have no time to make any adjustments. Before the other party can react, he will be the one to enter Shu.
of the bag.
"Let the bomber units supporting us not have to save ammunition and attack continuously! Destroy all the targets we can find! I don't need to leave anything behind." When he spoke, the soldiers had already hung up the map and glued representatives on it.
Magnets for each troop.
A few minutes later, the Tang Army's rocket launchers began to pour ammunition, and dense rockets fell into the city of Shu. Suddenly the entire city was ablaze, and then the Tang Army's artillery covered its own troops and began to advance.
Buildings collapsed one after another, raising dust and covering the sky. However, the Tang army continued to advance.
Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the Tang army soldiers who passed through the ruins approached the square in the east of the city, where a fierce battle broke out with the Qin army stationed there.
After all, this is also an important strategic fulcrum for the Qin Army's defense, and it is impossible to give up easily. The nearby Qin Army soldiers tried their best to support, and the two sides fought until the afternoon without a winner. The Qin Army was unwilling to give up.
In this square, a large number of troops were invested to try to stabilize the defense line, but their firepower was too weak, and their losses were several times greater than that of the Tang army.
Soon reinforcements from the Tang Army arrived, and a new infantry battalion joined the battle. The Qin Army was unable to follow up, and the supporting troops also suffered heavy losses, and had to abandon some buildings.
During dinner, the Tang army hung a bloody dragon flag in the square. The Qin army launched a counterattack at nightfall, trying to regain the lost position, but was repulsed by the Tang army. This was their last attempt to counterattack until the second day.
Oh my god, the bloody dragon flag full of bullet holes is still flying in the east square of the city.
