1562 Take the South(1/2)
To be honest, the Europa army here is a huge headache for everyone. If these people had known better and escaped earlier, there might not have been so many things. Of course, this must be the idea of other generals, but for Wang Mei
For the two of them, Liu Tao, forget it. They have never encountered a decent combat unit from the beginning to now. What they need is to fight and kill. But in the areas they have recently occupied, these people are simply
They are more docile than the puppies they raise at home. Each one of them is thinking of ways to express their loyalty to the energy group. They say that the city they just occupied was the most thoughtful. That person
The newly elected mayor immediately selected 6,000 police officers from among the millions of citizens. Not to mention, they also gave all the city's precious properties worth billions of dollars to the energy group, which will lead to the formation of
There is a self-police team of more than ten thousand people. If necessary, they can follow the energy group's army to destroy the Pope's troops. They want democracy and liberation, and do not want the tyrannical rule of the Holy See.
Compared with these situations, this is their first battle. The war in the north has already started an hour ago. Of course, after the battle, the energy group cannot organize too large a battle, but it can attract the enemy's attention.
There is still no problem. What the Pope is afraid of now is that the energy group will kill him in one go, so they will not do anything. They all just want to defend Istanbul. This is their root. As for other places
I'm sorry. Although reinforcements are coming from Europa, General Joy already knows very well that it is basically impossible for a miracle to happen in the south. They have given up on the south. As for the tens of thousands of troops, he has ordered them to garrison the seaport.
, will send ships to bring them back, and can discard a large amount of weapons and equipment if necessary, just to bring them back, he will definitely do that even if he doesn't say it.
The city is a rectangular city. Generally speaking, seaside cities are like this. They will develop along the coastline, and this one is no exception. There are about 50,000 Europa soldiers and 70,000 Holy See soldiers in the city at the moment.
The Holy See soldiers can still have enough to eat following these people. After all, they are still nominally friendly forces. They can't just eat and drink on their own and let the friendly forces starve. According to the investigators' reports, most of the people like this
At that time, the city's outer defense line had been abandoned. Their guidance of the outer defense line could not be of much use. At this time, what they most wanted to see were the transport ships. Unfortunately, today they did not see themselves.
The country's transport ships actually saw the warships of the energy group. A large number of warships, more than a dozen aircraft carriers and hundreds of various warships, almost filled their outer seas, although they didn't say anything about it.
, but it also felt psychologically difficult. Some soldiers and low-level officers even felt desperate. It was impossible for them to leave here alive.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the battle for the city officially began. A formation consisting of a hundred Apocalypse tanks and 150 ordinary heavy tanks began to march towards the city in a grand manner. At the same time, the hundreds of artillery fire at the back were fired at the same time.
The enemy's outer positions dropped thousands of artillery shells. Indeed, there is nothing here. All there is is a waste area. The depressed Liu Tao is very worried. You must have lost all resistance. Why did you spend so much money in the first place?
Liu Tao waved his hand, and the adjutant immediately began to issue orders. The tank formation began to enter the city along the three roads. After walking less than 300 meters, all the tanks in front were attacked.
The attack of anti-tank guns is just that it is a bit difficult for these anti-tank guns to hit these heavy tanks. Not to mention the Apocalypse tanks with more powerful defenses. They only scratched a little skin on the outside. It is considered good that they dare to come out.
.
The tanks that were immediately attacked quickly killed this small team. The further they went, the more resistance they encountered, but after half an hour, they still arrived at the center of the city.
Location, except for some ordinary people, there are no soldiers at all on the street. When they get here, if they don't have a complete line of defense, it is simply impossible to rely on these small-scale troops to resist their advance.
The Europa troops still put up some resistance, but as for the Holy See's troops, they occupied half of the city and not a single hair was seen of them. Where did they go? Could it be that they all evaporated? Or are they still in the remaining land?
Up?
When the army found some guns on the street, they finally knew where these people had gone. Except for the more than 3,000 die-hard loyalists, tens of thousands of Holy See troops threw away their guns and uniforms at this time, and became
The common people had been killed, and no one could count where their homes were. Liu Tao shook his head helplessly. The entire army had become deserters. Such a thing happened to him. I really don’t know how the Pope could do it.
It's better to pull up this troop, but it will save you a lot of energy.
As for the Europa troops in the city, they have already begun to gather in the port area, and their purpose is very clear. They just hope to gather in the port area and then defend here. As for other places in the city, they are not within the scope of their consideration.
, although they know that it may be difficult to get their retreating ships to come, but they have no good way now. They can only wait there honestly at the moment, waiting for the warships that may not appear.
Please take them back.
"General, our army is ready for a strong attack, and the navy is also ready. Can we start?" Liu Tao set up his headquarters in the city hall.
"Haha, no need. This is our huge testing ground. Order the Apocalypse tanks to prepare for carpet bombing, but we must discuss it with the navy's cannons. Each will do his own thing. Don't cause any disputes. Let's
Let's send all the artillery shells to the logistics force. Let's see how much destructive power they have." Liu Tao said with a smile. Testing is one thing. But it is absolutely impossible to test hundreds of tanks at the same time, not even the energy group.
For such a big move, the Navy also needs to test their guided artillery shells, and they also need a certain strike area.
Of course, people in the city must know in advance. They will start attacking in half an hour. If the people want to come out, come out. Of course, if the soldiers of Europa don't allow you to come out, then I'm sorry.
, we will treat all those who have not evacuated by then as military personnel.
Wang Mei is still very satisfied with the area divided by Liu Tao. They are the generation close to the seaside. However, Wang Mei still found a few buildings close to the inside and prepared to verify them in many aspects. She did not have as many as Liu Tao thought.
.In her opinion, this is all she wants to attack anyway, so who will have anything to do with you just because you bombed this place but not that place?
The loudspeakers and helicopters had been shouting at the inside for nearly half an hour, and they were left with five hours. Even a fool knew that they would come out within these few hours, and Liu Tao also asked
The reporter who accompanied the army conducted an interview. If there is any problem, it has nothing to do with us. We have reserved time for you.
When five hours passed, a large number of tanks from the Marine Corps of the Energy Group were already in place. In fact, it would be better to use artillery to do this, but Liu Tao wanted to try out some Apocalypse tanks. Didn't the guys from the Army's scientific research department say
The firepower of a tank is several times that of other tanks. Let's see how powerful this thing is today. However, their limelight is destined to be surpassed by the navy's battleships today. They haven't waited for the order to be given. Then
Just after five hours, Bian set his sights on the largest building in the area, the Port Authority Building.
The battleship has set everything up twenty kilometers away. Now they have to show off their skills first. The 1625kg shells went out with a bang. If it were a real war, they could have 32 main guns at once.
It can be fired, but it is still in the experimental stage. So the 16 cannons in front fired a salvo, which can be heard dozens of kilometers away, although a single cannon is not as good as the giant cannon of Europa.
, but if 32 guns fire together, it should be much more powerful than theirs.
The Port Building is a 16-story building that occupies a very large area. It used to be a landmark building in this city. It would not be easy to blow up this building with tank artillery.
This thing probably took a while, but more than a ton and a half of artillery shells hit it, and hit 12 of them at once, with a hit rate of 75%. From the outside, this is considered pretty good.
Liu Tao told reporters that it was the 32nd artillery salvo, and they would naturally lower the hit rate. The hit rate of 75% is definitely the highest in the world. Of course Liu Tao understood that this must be a guided artillery shell.
The results cannot be measured by missiles at this stage, but it is considered very good to be able to reach this level. Wang Mei is not very satisfied with this. In his opinion, it must be more than 90%.
A building worth more than 100 million yuan was destroyed by artillery shells worth more than 200,000 yuan. There were hundreds of Europa soldiers inside. This shocked them very much. This is amazing, even if it is an airplane.
The missile may not be able to explode. The damage is certain, but now? It has become a pile of construction waste.
Although the brothers of the Marine Corps were a step slower, what happened next was still relatively powerful. The artillery of hundreds of tanks opened fire violently, and the twin-mounted artillery took turns to attack. Basically, they could fire 60 meters per minute.
Since there are no important combat missions at the above speed, there is no need to risk wearing out the machine for these people to watch. The buildings in half of the city are now unlucky for eight lifetimes. They built
Not only did the fortifications on the ground have no effect, under the intensive firepower, more than half of them were basically destroyed, and the remaining ones were not as hidden as before. Their confidence was already low.
There wasn't much left. Under the attack of the cannons, everyone now thought of escaping, but where could they escape to? This was no other place. Behind them was the sea, who was supposed to pick them up.
Not a single person from the navy was seen, but a lot of navy from the energy group came. If we went into the water, we would probably have to kill them all immediately.
Just when they didn't know what to do, another wave of attacks arrived. This time it was a salvo of battleships, and it was two battleships. Nearly a hundred tons of shells fell in, and huge shells dozens of meters high were fired.
The cranes, a museum in the middle of the port area, and their stadium have all turned into waste areas. Speaking of which, the battle results of the Navy battleships cannot keep up with the Marine tanks, but all of a sudden, that is to say, within a unit of time
The output is really awesome, with more than a ton of artillery shells. How long will it take for the army to fire it out? The air force has a lot of aircraft, but what about the navy? It only takes a moment to get the thing done. This time it won’t happen.
You need to use guided artillery shells, ordinary artillery shells will suffice.
The Apocalypse tanks are really not built. They kept fighting while moving forward. After they entered the battle area, the navy's attack ended. Half of the city, where 200,000 people could originally live, now has no buildings.
The entire building was completed, and thousands of tons of waste from the Energy Group were wasted. As a result, there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers inside. The Marine Corps officers and soldiers of the Energy Group did not dare to take risks easily. A large number of soldiers
Since this area is surrounded, it would be better to leave the fighting to tanks and armored vehicles.
"Start urban combat mode." A commander on the Apocalypse tank said. Immediately, two 40-centimeter-square empty boxes appeared on the top of the tank, with a 100mm mortar sticking out of it.
The 75mm direct-fire gun, coupled with the original 12.7mm remote-controlled machine gun on the tank, is now an urban melee mode, and all weapons do not require people to go outside from loading to firing, only the ammunition handler inside
Place it in advance, and then just control the screen in front of you just like playing a video game. Of course, at this time, the squad leader of the five tanks will fly a remote-controlled reconnaissance aircraft from his tank. The flying discomfort is very high, but they
There are no blind spots within a few hundred meters around the five tanks. Infrared reconnaissance? Thermal imaging? They are all available. Everything is not a problem. We are here to fight modern warfare, not to fight hard street battles with you.
As long as they see their position, the squad leader can immediately assign tasks to several of his tanks. The distance between them must be within the sight of one or two other tanks. This is also a rule. If they are alone, they will not
So it’s easy to handle, but we need a team to unleash their greatest strength.
At this moment, a squad unit in the middle saw a 115mm artillery in a three-story house, and it seemed that there were a dozen soldiers around. They should have been buried under construction debris.
, there was no way to get out for a while, it doesn’t matter, we will help you, you don’t need to come back. Immediately, one of his tanks adjusted the 155mm main gun on it, and two rounds of shells directly killed these dozen people.
That cannon was sent to heaven. Don’t be our enemies in the next life.
There was a gathering point of soldiers more than a hundred meters away from them, but they couldn't get through because of the construction debris. There was no difficulty. Immediately, mortars from four tanks came to cover that area, and twenty
The multiple mortar shells made all these people go to see God. You are fighting for Him, and you will naturally have to go to see them if you die. We are heathens, so we are not so afraid of this. If He can punish
If it were for us, I guess we wouldn't be alive now, we would have died long ago.
By two o'clock in the afternoon, the entire city was completely occupied by the energy group. Although there were no zero casualties on our side, it was just a soldier on an armored vehicle who had a close contact with a landmine. Otherwise, otherwise
There are absolutely zero casualties. Of course, the ammunition they consume is also very powerful. The Navy used 4,500 tons of artillery shells, and the Marine Corps used even more. They used 7,000 tons of artillery shells, but this is different from the soldiers.
His life is not impressive at all in comparison.
More than half of the entire Europa army and the remaining 3,000 troops of the Holy See were annihilated, and the remaining less than 20,000 people were all sent to the concentration camps. Because the ammunition consumption was too great, the superiors decided to establish a bureau here.
In a small military factory, these people happen to be the best labor force. The soldiers of Europa don't think much of food management, but the troops of the Holy See are very willing. Liu Tao believes that as long as these soldiers are hungry,
They will happily go to work in the next two days and even think it is the most beautiful thing in the world.
However, after this battle, Wang Mei and Liu Tao met. Both of them knew that the previous so-called battle was just killing a chicken with a knife, and the next battle should be the most deadly battle. They had already got the news.
, the Holy See also suffered a defeat in the north and was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people by Li Sen's troops. At this moment, they were packing up in Istanbul and preparing to go south. Their mission was to use their own troops to encircle them with the northern army. Wang Mei
There is no longer this task. He only needs to leave two aircraft carriers and 320 carrier-based aircraft to provide support to Liu Tao. Then he will lead his remaining warships to join another fleet in the Mediterranean to block Europa's reinforcements.
As long as there are not a large number of reinforcements coming from Europe at this juncture, Pope Larsi's defeat will be inevitable.
"The Turqi War should be over. The group's losses here have exceeded 100,000 people. Mercenaries can also be considered useful." Liu Tao looked at the battle plan and said.
"Haha, I just don't know what's going on with the 5th Division of the Fuso Mercenary Army that I will send you tomorrow. Although they are not the first batch of troops to be established, I think their combat strength should be pretty good, so be careful.
Taking advantage of these little nobles, I heard that they all hope that their relatives will sacrifice themselves on the front line, so that each person will receive a pension of 200,000 yuan. I really don’t know what these people are thinking." Wang Mei
