Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Chapter 120: Great Power Creates Miracles, Using Cannons to Break Through the Fuso Army's Defen

The real trump card against the Northern Frontier Army is the Second Corps deployed in Qidong Province.

The Qidong Province where the Second Legion is located has a branch base specifically for their combat needs, which is truly a strong army.

Although it is still inferior to the First Corps, it still has the strength of two armies and five divisions.

One mechanized infantry division and four motorized infantry divisions.

But that was before.

Now the Second Corps has added another armored division and a mechanized infantry division, which are affiliated with the Fourth Army of the Second Corps.

Currently, the Fourth Army is composed of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 16th Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 17th Armored Division.

The entire Second Corps consists of one armored division, two mechanized infantry divisions, and four motorized infantry divisions, totaling seven main divisions.

Currently, the entire Fuxing Army has a main force division size of 18 divisions.

Among them, the 8th Mountain Infantry Division had a similar number to the 8th Motorized Infantry Division, so the Military and Political Committee made adjustments and renamed it the 18th Mountain Infantry Division.

Including ten second-line garrison divisions, one airborne division, and two artillery divisions.

There are exactly 30 division-level troops alone.

Now the Fuxing Army can be described as strong in both men and horses.

The recent large-scale military expansion is mainly because the situation we are facing requires the use of large-scale troops.

When it comes to the speed of mass production of troops, the Red Alert base is definitely not bad.

Although the Northern Frontier Army deployed five armies with more than 20 troops in the area north of the Long River.

But they did not have an advantage in military strength.

This time, in addition to the two motorized infantry divisions that remained behind, the remaining five divisions of the Second Corps will form two columns to launch an attack on the northern border.

The Third Column targeting Zhili was composed of the 17th Armored Division, the 16th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 5th Motorized Infantry Division, and the 2nd Heavy Tank Brigade.

Both Qidong and Zhili are located in plains, which is the perfect time for armored and mechanized forces to show their prowess.

Among them, the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 6th Motorized Infantry Division will form the Fourth Column.

Their target is Zhongyuan Province and Jingbei Province in the northern border.

These two provinces must also be taken, as they are related to the next strategic plan.

Although the Northern Frontier Army in this direction also has more than 100,000 troops, they are basically not regular troops, but local miscellaneous troops.

However, we need to be on guard against another force.

That is the Southern Allied Forces, which still has a strong military force.

To this end, the Military and Political Committee decided to mobilize two second-line garrison divisions to go to Qidong Province, liberate the 8th Motorized Infantry Division and the 9th Motorized Infantry Division from the Qidongnan Line, and join them in the Fourth Column.

In this way, the Fourth Column has the strength of one mechanized infantry division and three motorized infantry divisions.

So at this time the role of the second-line garrison division was reflected.

Although the second-line garrison division's offensive capabilities are insufficient, its defense is definitely more than enough.

Even the elite divisions of the Southern Alliance cannot compare with the second-line garrison divisions of the Renaissance Army in terms of weapons and equipment.

Basically, deploying two divisions of troops on the southern front of Qidong Province is enough to resist the Southern Alliance's offensive against Qidong.

At present, the Military and Political Committee is still planning to continue to increase the strength of the second-line garrison division.

After all, as the war begins, the territory will become larger and larger, and more areas will need to be defended.

Therefore, it is planned to add five more second-line garrison divisions, expanding the scale to 15 divisions.

5 month 13 number.

That is, on the second day after Northern Xinjiang issued a nationwide telegram declaring war on the Fuxing Army, hundreds of thousands of troops launched an all-out attack on the Fuxing Army's defense line.

There was continuous artillery fire at the four places of Yuguan, Gubeikou, Xishankou and Zhengtai Line.

This time, Yuan Shicheng really took out all his resources and fought to the death.

Among them, the offensives at Xifengkou and Gubeikou were particularly fierce.

More than half of the artillery fire from Northern Xinjiang was concentrated in this direction.

The number of barreled artillery pieces with a caliber of 75 mm or above exceeds 70.

An artillery regiment with more than 40 artillery pieces was also deployed on the Yuguan defense line.

The Zhengtai Line defense also has an artillery regiment with 36 guns.

These are all the barreled artillery pieces in the hands of the Northern Frontier Army.

Although there are only three garrison divisions, namely the 100th, 104th and 107th, in the three directions of Xishankou, Gubeikou and Yuguan.

Although they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, after the battle broke out, the defense line of the Fuxing Army remained as solid as a rock.

One reason is that the Fuxing Army built a large number of permanent fortifications in Xishankou and Gubeikou, all of which were built with military concrete.

In addition, the tunnel fortifications are also very complete.

What's more, in terms of the number of artillery pieces, the artillery regiment of the Fuxing Army's garrison division is not bad in either quality or quantity, and it also has the assistance of the Air Force in combat.

No matter how the Northern Frontier Army attacks the defense line, it remains as solid as a rock.

Not to mention the direction of Yuguan.

This place has the reputation of being the best pass in the world, and occupying it allows you to attack or defend.

This is also one of the most uncomfortable things for Yuan Shicheng.

"Yuguan, Yuguan is the direction of our attack. As long as we take it, we can go north along the Beijing-Shenyang Railway and take Jinchuan, which has few troops.

If we take Jinchuan, the Fuxing Army in the northern part of the Great Wall will be caught in a pincer attack from both sides.

By then, we will be able to resolve the crisis in Saibei."

This sentence was also said by Shinji Ishihara.

He is not in the northern frontier now, but in Tianjin, Zhili.

The Northern Frontier Army attracted the attention of the Renaissance Army on the front line and tied down the main force of the Renaissance Army.

The Fuso Army never placed its hopes on the Northern Frontier Army.

They are just cannon fodder used to attract attention.

Therefore, in this battle, the Fuso Army's Zhili Garrison will dispatch two divisions of troops to launch an attack in the direction of Yuguan.

But before that, they need to rely on the Northern Frontier Army to consume the manpower of the Fuxing Army's Yuguan garrison.

So after the war started, the Northern Frontier Army in this direction took advantage of its superior forces and began to attack Yumen Pass in turns.

The first round of artillery fire caused damage to the city walls of Yuguan.

Then one division after another pushed forward and fought a rotation battle.

The pressure on the 100th Division is still quite great.

After all, he was facing the Northern Frontier Army, which had a strength more than ten times that of his own.

But Qiao Qingyuan had no intention of asking for help.

Because now is not the limit of the 100th Infantry Division.

The defenders' advantages in equipment, air force, etc. are enough to offset their advantage in manpower.

"Commander, the Northern Frontier Army is really going crazy. When did they fight so fiercely?"

From the command post on the high ground, you can clearly see the area where the Yuguan city defense is located.

The colonel chief of staff of the 100th Division said in disbelief.

He was also a member of the Northern Frontier Army before, and was appointed Chief of Staff of the 100th Division because of Qiao Qingyuan's recommendation.

It was precisely because of his experience with the Northern Frontier Army that he knew exactly what the Northern Frontier Army was like.

Qiao Qingyuan frowned, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Looking at the Northern Frontier Army attacking the city defense positions wave after wave, he also found something wrong.

“It seems there’s a master behind this Northern Frontier Army.

If my guess is correct, it must be the Japanese.

Have you ever heard of the Fuso Army's Assault Maru?"

"Assault Pills? Commander, are you saying these Northern Frontier troops used Assault Pills? No wonder then."

He had heard of the name of Assault Maru.

This thing has serious side effects, even worse than opium.

But the effect is very good, especially when charging, it can boost the soldiers' fighting spirit.

This also explains why these Northern Frontier troops seem to be risking their lives.

"Yes, the Assault Pill is one of them, and there must be a Supervisory Team as well.

If my guess is correct, the Fuso army's attack focus should be on our side.

They wanted to quickly break through Yumen Pass, then go north to capture Jinchuan, and then threaten the offensive in the direction of Shenzhou.

The Fuso people had a good plan, but this time they might have made a mistake."

He then put down the telescope and gave an order.

"Let the first regiment withdraw, go to the rear to rest and replenish troops, and let the second regiment advance.

If they play a round-robin game, then we will play with them.

Yuguan must be defended!"

Shenzhou, Xinming Defense Line.

The Eighth Division built two lines of defense in Xinming County.

One is the Liuhe Defense Line and the other is the Liaohe Defense Line.

The Liuhe River runs from northwest to southeast and merges into the Liaohe River which runs from north to south. The intersection is in Xinming County.

Therefore, the 8th Division of the Fuso Army relied on these two rivers to build a defense line.

They learned from the lessons of the 19th Division's Battle of Dalin River.

At several river crossing points with gentle slopes, large amounts of explosives were used to blast the mud off the riverbed to prevent the Restoration Army's tanks from crossing the river directly through here.

In addition, a large number of mines and anti-tank piles were laid on the shore.

Although these mines could not destroy the Panther tank, they could break its tracks.

The 11th Armored Division's offensive was repelled by these things, and it lost more than ten tanks.

Liao Jie looked at the sand table in front of him and began to deduce war games in his mind.

After a long time, his brows relaxed. He had already thought of a way to break the deadlock.

"Where is the artillery division? How long will it take for it to arrive?"

The artillery division he was referring to was naturally the 1st Artillery Division.

"The First Artillery Division has already taken the train north and is expected to arrive in Xinming before nightfall."

The railway destroyed by the Fuso army has been repaired by the engineering division.

Therefore, trains heading towards Jinchuan can go directly to the Xinming front.

This railway also became an important logistical support line for the Fuxing Army.

"Have the First Artillery Division deploy immediately to the front lines upon arrival. Bombard the Fuso Army's positions and employ coordinated infantry-tank tactics to deplete their manpower.

At the same time, contact the Air Force and ask them to increase the intensity of bombing on the Fuso Liuhe defense line.

Great power can bring about miracles. This time, we used artillery to break through the Fuso army's defenses."

These two rivers prevented the 11th Armored Division from utilizing its armored advantage, so it utilized the advantages of its artillery and air force.

Over Andong County, which borders Goryeo, several high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the Restoration Army were circling in the sky.

A large amount of information about the terrain, troop deployment, etc. around Andong County was sent back to the General Staff of the Fuxing Army.

This time the Fuxing Army wants to close the door and beat the dog, but it is still missing the last link.

This link falls on Andong County.

"Boss Ling, based on intelligence gathered from the General Intelligence Bureau and the Air Force, we can basically conclude that the Fuso Army only has one garrison battalion around Andong County.

Almost all of their forces have been concentrated in the direction of Shenzhou.

We can now proceed to the next step.”

Major General Zhang Bin, Director of the Operations Department of the General Staff, looked at the information on the table and said to Ling Liang in an excited tone.

"A garrison battalion? The time is indeed ripe. Let's dispatch the 1st Airborne Division to occupy Andong County and cut off the connection between Goryeo and Andong."

As long as Andong County is occupied, the Fuso reinforcements will not be able to be continuously transported to the northern border through the mainland.

The 8th Division and the 21st Division will also be trapped.
