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

Chapter 124: Annihilation of the 8th Division, the amount of ammunition Van Fleet in the other world

Abandoned!

After receiving the telegram from General Hatoyama Shinya, the commander of the 8th Division, Lieutenant General Hase Yusuke felt sad.

The Fuxing Army forced the 21st Division to withdraw from Shenzhou on the pretext of bombing Kyoto and not to engage in street fighting in the ancient country.

Otherwise, if a city is destroyed due to street fighting, the Restoration Army will bomb a large city in Fuso.

Therefore, the 21st Division was forced to evacuate Shenzhou and break out towards the Korean Peninsula.

Now General Hatoyama Shinya asked them to withstand the attack of the Restoration Army and buy time for their breakout.

After all, there is an airborne force of the Renaissance Army in Andong County.

It was only later that they realized that the Fusion Army also had an airborne unit.

They launched an air raid on Andong County from hundreds of kilometers away and occupied it.

Airborne troops are definitely a very new thing in this era. Even the entire West currently does not have a division-level paratrooper force.

The West has only just begun to form brigade-level paratrooper units.

Moreover, today's parachutes are still made of expensive silk.

Low reliability, flammability, fear of breakage and easy tearing are all fatal flaws of silk.

This also led to many paratroopers dying during training.

It wasn't until the emergence of a material that these fatal problems of parachutes were solved.

This thing is the famous nylon.

Moreover, nylon has very high economic value, and Jiang Hua is planning to build it into a cash cow for foreign trade.

For example, stockings in the future will be made of nylon.

Today's stockings are made of raw silk, which is one of Japan's pillar industries.

From planting mulberry trees, to raising silkworms, to making various semi-finished products and finished products, it forms an entire production chain.

Millions of people depend on this industry chain for their livelihood.

If we can use nylon products to seize the market for raw silk.

This would definitely be a fatal blow to this industry in Fuso and would also make their economy even worse.

So this thing kills two birds with one stone.

However, the current industry is still unable to handle these issues and cannot carry out large-scale mass production.

As the commander of the 8th Division, Hase Yusuke was definitely heartbroken when he heard the news.

But the content of the telegram is indeed frustrating.

The Restoration Army threatened the local cities, so it was correct for the 21st Division to break out.

Therefore, Hase Tomosuke planned to conceal this news and use all the soldiers of the Eighth Division to delay the Restoration Army for as long as possible.

However, he knew very well that his current military strength could only delay the enemy for one day at most.

Since the 21st Division has already evacuated Shenzhou, how could the Fuxing Army miss this opportunity?

Therefore, he will probably have to face attacks from both sides of the Renaissance Army.

The fate of the Eighth Division was already sealed.

But would Liao Jie give him so much time? Obviously, it was impossible.

The 1st Battalion of the 1st Tank Regiment of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, the 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment, and the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Artillery Regiment formed an assault team and set out from Shenzhou to launch a surprise attack on the rear of the 8th Division.

The remaining one tank battalion, two motorized infantry regiments, and three artillery battalions formed another assault force, chasing in the direction of the 21st Division's withdrawal.

However, the Japanese were very cunning. When they evacuated, they were afraid that the Fuso Army would use the railway to pursue them.

So they bombed the railways as they went, and all the railways along the way were bombed.

The 1st Motorized Infantry Division could only pursue by car.

As for Andong County, there is no need to worry.

The Air Force used Andong Airport to transport the troops of the 18th Mountain Infantry Division, and it took only two days to transport an entire division.

The 1st Airborne Division plus the 18th Mountain Infantry Division.

Although these two infantry divisions are light infantry, their combat effectiveness is higher than that of ordinary main divisions, and each of them is an elite soldier.

With these two divisions in Andong, the 21st Division had no chance of escaping.

As for the Fuso army on the Korean Peninsula, there is no possibility of them attacking.

Because control of the railway bridge was still in the hands of the 1st Airborne Division.

So now Liao Jie only needs to focus his main energy on the remnants of the Eighth Division.

He had only one way to deal with the Eighth Division, and that was to use artillery bombardment.

The subsequent artillery shells were transported to the Xinming front line in train cars.

The logistics troops organized five motor vehicle regiments for land transportation between Chishan County and Jinchuan.

At the same time, four airports capable of taking off and landing medium and large transport aircraft were built in Jinzhou and nearby areas.

Resources continue to accumulate in Jinchuan.

It is now able to meet the needs of the troops.

Of course, this is also because the scale is currently small.

If we wait until the Fifth Army joins the battle, the logistics may not be able to keep up.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a railway to Jinchuan.

At the same time, the branch line extending from Chishan to the north to Sitao Railway is also under emergency repair.

Although once it is repaired, the war may be over.

But there is no such thing as too many railways. They are not only useful in wars, but will also be of great use in future economic development.

Now for Jiang Hua, logistics issues are definitely a headache.

The larger the unit and the better its equipment, the greater its reliance on logistical supplies.

Therefore, it is urgent to set up a professional logistics department.

The General Logistics Department of the Military and Political Committee of the Renaissance Army has begun to build a fast and efficient logistics system with the intention of establishing a professional logistics support force.

This professional logistics support force will be responsible for the logistics support of the three major military services, and all items will be purchased, transported, and managed by this logistics support force.

Therefore, it is also named the Joint Logistics Support Force.

Before, the army was responsible for the army's logistics, the air force was responsible for the air force's logistics, and the navy was responsible for the navy's logistics, and they were unrelated.

This caused the logistics system to appear somewhat chaotic.

This is also the lesson learned from this combat operation.

Jinchuan has now become the logistics support center for the Fuxing Army's operations in the three northern provinces.

The main base in Chishan County is the production base.

At the same time, Jiang Hua planned to make use of the branch base in Qidong Province.

Now that the surface ship force is about to be formed, the combat supplies produced by the branch base can be transported to Jinchuan by sea, and then transported to the front line in a unified manner.

With the addition of branch bases, the logistics problems in the northern part of the borderland will be greatly alleviated.

With strong logistical support, Liao Jie used artillery shells without any scruples.

He seemed to have transformed into Van Vleet from another time and space, and he would never say a word when a problem could be solved with a cannonball.

"Boom! Concentrate your artillery fire on this line of the Fuso army and completely disperse them. Then, the tanks will charge forward, followed by the mechanized infantry. Cut them into pieces and devour them one by one."

Liao Jie now realized how cool it was to be an artilleryman, and immediately waved his hand with great pride.

Several artillery regiments of the 1st Heavy Artillery Division, together with the artillery regiments of the 11th Armored Division, concentrated their firepower and poured shells onto the Fuso Army's positions at the fastest speed.

The most tired people at this time are the loaders who are ranked lower.

Dozens of kilograms of shells are still very heavy, and moving them continuously without rest is a test of one's physical strength to the limit.

And the effect is very significant.

Faced with endless artillery bombardment, the fortifications on the Eighth Division's positions were almost completely destroyed.

Many communication trenches between positions were blown into pieces, and the positions lost contact and had to fight on their own.

Most of their soldiers were also killed in the shelling.

I don't know how many times the position has been plowed.

When the artillery fire stopped, the tanks of the Fusion Army were already in sight.

"Onboard!"

"The Emperor is onboard!"

When the tanks rushed to the position, they were warmly welcomed by the Fuso army.

They rushed up fearlessly, holding explosives, their faces distorted.

Some tanks were destroyed in the explosion, but only a small part of them.

Tanks are always accompanied by infantry in combat, so the chances of a successful human bomb attack are not high.

When the tanks violently tore open the Fuso Army's defense line, the mechanized infantry regiment rushed in through the torn gap.

In less than an hour, the entire 8th Division's Liaohe position was divided into pieces by the Fuxing Army.

The Air Force also joined the battlefield at this time.

When they found a large number of Fuso troops gathering on the position, they dived, dropped bombs or carried out strafing.

The entire position was engulfed in fighting.

Two hours later, the assault troops of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division also joined the battle to wipe out the remnants of the 8th Division.

Faced with the four major advantages of the Renaissance Army, namely, superior manpower, superior air force, superior artillery, and superior weapons, the Eighth Division's strength is being rapidly eroded.

It was basically impossible for the 8th Division Commander Hase Yusuke to hold out for a day.

The offensive of the Restoration Army against them could be described as a complete crushing defeat.

The battle lasted from around 8 a.m. to around 3 p.m., and it was over in seven hours.

It is almost impossible to find a piece of intact land on the east bank of the Liao River.

The blood even dyed the entire surface of the Liao River red.

The body of the 8th Division commander, Hase Yusuke, was also found in a hidden command post.

The fatal wound was on his temple, and in his hand he was still tightly holding the Type 14 Nambu pistol, the famous bastard pistol.

After his death, Hase Tomosuke's eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to see clearly how his Eighth Division was destroyed.

"This battle was really not easy. After fighting for so many days, even I am exhausted, let alone the soldiers below."

When the battle was over, Liao Jie also felt a wave of fatigue, and the string in his heart that had been tense for a long time also relaxed with the end of the battle.

“Yes, it was not easy, annihilating three divisions of the Fuso Army with more than 70,000 troops in succession.

Although our 11th Armored Division achieved great success, it also suffered heavy casualties."

Deputy Division Commander Liu Tianyang also sighed.

"How many casualties are there?"

"571 soldiers were killed in this battle, over 1200 were wounded, 37 tanks and 42 infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed...

The total number of artillery shells consumed was over 37, and the number of bombs over 7000.”

After hearing this number, Liao Jie's eyes twitched.

The casualties were not great.

Although the 11th Armored Division suffered more than 7 casualties, they annihilated more than Fuso troops.

The casualty ratio was more than 40 to 1.

The reason why the battle loss ratio is so outrageous is mainly because Liao Jie exchanged it for artillery shells.

Part of the 37st Artillery Division and the th Armored Division Artillery Regiment had nearly artillery pieces of various types, and consumed artillery shells in two days.

You can imagine how intense this bombardment was.

Most of the Fuso army died in the bombardment.

But it was really cool, and made Liao Jie feel like he had opened the door to a new world.

This tactic was also implemented in his subsequent combat methods.
