Chapter 1782: 1783 Tang Jun was already prepared
Chapter 1782 1783 The Tang army was well prepared
The Tang Army basically judged all the intentions of the opposing coalition forces, and even knew the direction of the attack and the number of troops participating in the battle. He even found out the name of the other party's commander and what kind of food he likes to eat.
The coalition forces also thought that they almost knew the basic deployment of the Tang Army: in the Rewind Port area, the Tang Empire only had two armies, the 1st Army and the 10th Army.
According to the attack plan, the Sussus Empire troops in the south mainly contain the Tang Dynasty's 1st Army Group, which has a reputation for strong combat effectiveness, with the Elf troops assisting from the side.
The real main attack is still the northernmost Lions troops. They need to cut into the defense line of Tang Army's 10th Army and put on a posture of encircling Refeng Port.
The reason why the battle plan was formulated in this way was the result of mutual compromise: no one was willing to touch the First Army of the Tang Dynasty, so they could only leave it to the elves. The elves didn't have the guts to knock on Hogg's door themselves, so they had no choice but to pull in the troops of the Susus Empire.
Dorne's troops suffered heavy losses in previous battles, so they were treated as reserves this time. They will enter the battlefield in the second phase and try to expand the results achieved in the first phase.
As for how many results will be achieved in the first stage, only God knows. The coalition forces feel that they should be able to create a salient, but no one can guarantee such a result.
On the morning of this day, on the position of the Susa Empire troops, a Susa tank with a square head and a square head ran over its own position and staggered towards the Tang Empire's defense line in the distance.
Next to it, another tank also began to charge. Behind it were more tanks, fighting out of the woods and up a short slope, exposed to the Tang army's field of vision.
With the appearance of tanks, one shell after another fell on the Tang Army's position. The huge explosion kicked up the soil, and the black smoke that covered the sky gave the Sousas officer commanding the attack confidence.
He has assembled more than 100 artillery pieces, and this density of firepower is already terrifying. In his opinion, this sudden attack, even if it could not immediately penetrate the Tang Army's defense line, would still give the Tang Army a big surprise.
The position on the opposite side was surprisingly quiet, as if the Tang army was still sleeping and did not notice this coalition attack at all. Even this time, the annoying electromagnetic interference of the Tang Empire was not covered, and the radio channel was filled with the excited shouts of the coalition soldiers.
Having already received the order, the coalition soldiers waiting in the trenches crawled out of their bunkers excitedly. They held their rifles with bayonets in their hands and walked towards the enemy's position.
"For His Majesty the Emperor! Attack!" An officer from the Sussus Empire drew out his saber and pointed forward. Beside him, countless soldiers crossed his shoulders and started running towards the front.
A temporarily modified self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery followed the sea of people. Its twin 20mm cannons pointed at the sky, and a chain of golden shells shone brightly in the sun.
At the same moment, listening to the noisy shouts in the distance, the soldiers of the Tang Empire hiding in the bunker were carefully checking the weapons and equipment in their hands.
They had already been notified that the enemy would attack within a few hours. This time they had no intention of giving in. The order they received was to hold their position and deal the heaviest blow to the enemy.
The Tang officer holding the radio equipment stood in his temporary headquarters and reported the situation on the front line with a serious expression: "Yes! Yes! The enemy's attack has begun. I understand! I understand! Yes! I promise to complete the mission!" "After making his promise, he hung up the communicator, and then looked at his subordinates standing in the headquarters: "When the enemy's shelling stops, return to the front line and push back the enemy's attack."
Several of his officers stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left the bunker, and then the roaring artillery fire from the Tang Empire passed over the silent own position.
The intensive roaring made everyone's hair stand on end, and the terrifying suppressive force was enough to even frighten one's own soldiers. No one wanted to raise their head in such a situation, for fear that they would be affected by their own artillery fire.
The intensive artillery fire of the coalition forces was suddenly interrupted by the Tang army's ten times denser artillery fire. The shells did not fall on the heads of the attacking coalition soldiers, but passed over them and landed directly on the coalition artillery position behind them.
The Tang Army, which has the artillery school radar, can easily calculate the location of the coalition artillery positions, and can immediately use longer-range extended-range ammunition to implement counter-suppression.
The speed of this counterattack is measured in minutes. It only takes about two or three minutes before the traditional artillery position is no longer safe. That's why in modern warfare, there are so many self-propelled artillery equipment troops.
Unfortunately, the coalition's artillery is still mainly towed, so it is impossible for them to change their shooting positions in just a few minutes.
In just a few minutes after the Tang Army's artillery opened fire, less than half of the hundreds of artillery pieces assembled by the Susas Empire were still breathing.
The entire artillery position was covered by fire, and the remaining artillery was abandoned in a position full of craters because the artillerymen had all avoided the bombardment.
The coalition soldiers who were still attacking suddenly found that their own fire suppression seemed to have stopped, and there were no more explosions and flames on the Tang army's position filled with black smoke.
The somewhat overwhelmed infantrymen looked at each other. They had just heard the sound of Tang Army's artillery counterattack. The terrible howling sound made them feel like they were in hell, and they were very afraid that a shell would suddenly fall on their heads.
Just as they continued to move forward uneasily, dozens of kilometers away and thousands of meters in the air, a dozen intruder attack aircraft had begun to drop their own ammunition: "Steamroller No. 1 launches missiles!"
"Steamroller No. 2 has launched a missile! Over!" "Steamroller No. 3 has dropped a bomb!" The radio communication channel was filled with the slightly noisy commands of pilots wearing oxygen masks.
One after another, precision guided bombs have already locked onto their targets. These targets are all high-value targets that have been confirmed by reconnaissance, including hidden headquarters, large oil supply centers near the front line, etc.
At the feet of these intruder attack aircraft, Thunder attack aircraft were rushing to the front line close to the ground. In a few minutes, they would appear on top of the Tang army. They would not let their comrades face an enemy ten times or a hundred times alone.
