The cooperative offensive between the European Zone 1 and the First Army really put the modern warfare to the extreme.

The carrier-based air force outside Yemen dispatched nearly a hundred bombers before the general attack was launched and began to clean the mountainous groups outside Hongdan Airport. All the air force attack locations were provided by Yan Hu.

Yan Hu insisted that He Dachuan's troops must be hoarded in the mountain range, because other than that, they had no other place to defend, and in fact his guesses and judgments were also very correct.

Hundreds of bombers flew over the mountains and dropped at least 2,000 bombs, and the black smoke generated after the explosion almost stretched for nearly thirty kilometers.

All the protruding places of the mountain peaks were blown up, and the snow on the mountain was vaporized to produce a large amount of fog, broken dead trees, rock powder, and scorched earth were scattered across a large area.

The 122nd Army of He Dachuan, hiding in the mountains, was also bombed out of its original form. A large number of excavated mountain bunkers were blown down, and many soldiers were buried in the ruins.

The intensity of modern warfare is far from comparable to that of World War II. At that time, most of the shells hit the positions and blasted on the ground, with their lethality limited to the ground. Once modern airborne shells fell to the ground, they were a deep pit the size of a basketball court. This also shows that ordinary fortifications could not withstand this level of attack.

The previous chain-type and tandem trenches were no different from paper-paste under this intensity of war. Once the shells fell, a single area was gone, let alone the people hidden in the trenches. Therefore, in modern wars, we should try to avoid positional warfare. If we insist on doing it, we would also choose to use reinforced concrete to build a defense zone, which is relatively hard.

However, He Dachuan and others had just landed, so how could they have time to build such a defense zone? So as soon as the air strike came, their combat reduction began to soar instantly.

A large number of underground fortifications hidden under the snow were blown out, and the mountain fortifications were also destroyed one after another. In the center of the battlefield, many people were running to avoid air strikes.

In the command position of the First Army of the Zhou clan, Yan Hu put down his telescope and pointed at the mountain clan with great energy and said, "The only thing they can use is the mountain range. If they don't dig a dog hole, how can they withstand the attack? This wave of concentrated fire directly knocked them out of their true form."

"Yes, at present, at least 8,000 people were hiding in the mountains." The Chief of Staff agreed.

"The artillery regiment continues to wash the floor and beat me up." Yan Hu frowned and pointed at the front battlefield and shouted: "This is a wilderness area. The snow is too deep. Their soldiers are probably hiding in the snow piles on the mountain. They definitely have no time to dig out a large amount of cover. Let's swing three axes first."

"yes!"

After Yan Hu gave the order, the artillery regiment cooperated with the air force to launch an attack on the mountain group. The fierce artillery fire covered everything on the mountain, and thick smoke and fog were everywhere.

...

Expeditionary Force, within the 122nd Army Command.

"Commander, the 1st Division and the 2nd Regiment suffered serious losses. Their defense zone is too high. There are currently more than 200 people lost. The wounded cannot evacuate and can only be treated in the cave."

"Captain, the Fourth Regiment of the First Division asked if they wanted to transfer positions? Their losses were also serious."

"...Transfer it!" He Dachuan stared at his eyes and cursed: "This kind of attack is something we can guess before the war. If you don't die, you are still called fighting?! Notify each unit and guard me in the joint hole. No matter how the opponent fights, you cannot transfer the number of people and firepower to me. At the same time, notify the engineer team and continue digging into the mountain to make the joint hole more closely connected."

"yes!"

After the call between the two sides finished, He Dachuan touched his newly shaved big bald head, and was very anxious. Because now there is a passive beating, and there are people sacrificing every second. How can he not feel distressed?

In this way, after the enemy's artillery regiment and air force washed the ground continuously, the troops of both sides had not yet formally contacted, and the First Army reduced more than 2,000 people in combat.

This is not because their combat effectiveness is low, but because their defensive position is too embarrassing. Not only do they have to stop the enemy, but they also have to consider whether the Hongdan airport behind them can be lost.

After more than two hours of suffering, the enemy's artillery fire finally stopped, and the fully loaded air force bombers also withdrew from the battlefield due to insufficient ammunition.

Yan Hu looked at the scorched mountains and immediately issued a combat order: "The armored troops began to advance, and I will make a big spur to attack Hongdan Airport!"

The general attack order was issued, and the 33rd Armored Brigade of the European Zone 1 cooperated with the two armored regiments of the First Army of the Zhou Dynasty and began to advance frantically.

On the offensive line, the sky was covered with frost and snow, tanks and armored vehicles spread out horizontally, rushing towards the battlefield like a torrent of steel.

The four districts are mountainous, but most of the mountain groups are low and connected to the plains. That is to say, they cannot effectively block the advancement of the armored corps like the Drakken Mountains. Tanks and armored vehicles cannot walk through the hillside highlands, but they can enter the battlefield through connected plain roads.

As soon as the armored corps advanced, all the infantry combat units on the back also followed, tens of thousands of people connected together, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

But half an hour later, when the armored corps arrived less than five kilometers away from the mountains, they found that they could not move forward.

The tracks of the armored vehicles and tanks were directly trapped into the mud about half a meter deep, and there were wavy deep pits in the mud. The heavier the car body, the deeper the tracks were sinking.

In terms of the current climate, the Yemen area is also in a state of freezing year round. The ground should be very hard and there will definitely be snow covering it. How come there will be silt pits suddenly?

The armored troops charging forward slowed down significantly due to the problem of the ruins of the ground. Some officers got off the car and found that all the land on the offensive line had been artificially overturned, and a large number of spurt guns melted the snow, allowing the snow to penetrate into the land, forming a mud pit.

The officers of the Zhou clan looked forward and saw that there was almost such a bad road ahead, and the armored troops could not walk.

In the command of the First Army, Yan Hu immediately received a report from the lower level and yelled: "I'm a fucking B, can't I walk all the way?!"

"I can't walk, not only the road is rotten, but the silt pit is also covered with trigger mines. The two armored companies at our front... made a hard distance without knowing it... and suffered heavy losses."

"Order the armored troops and retreat first." Yan Hu replied, then hung up the communication equipment directly, gritted his teeth and cursed: "This He Dachuan is really surprised. He imitated the battle of Iwo Huangdao and blocked the armored troops. He is fucking a bit good!"

Yan Hu immediately adjusted his strategy and shouted with the communication equipment: "Remove the armored regiment and change it to the infantry for me!"

In another half an hour, the infantry combat units of the 33rd Brigade in the first European zone, as well as the infantry regiment of the First Army of the Zhou clan all rushed into the mountains and launched an attack with the mentality of killing the defeated army.

In the command position of the 122nd Army in the three major zones, Ai Hao yelled: "Captain, they are coming up, at least more than 10,000 people, and the soldiers from the European Zone 1 are on the left side of the battlefield."

He Dachuan rushed out of the mountain bunker after hearing the sound, holding a gun and shouting: "The 123rd Regiment of the First Division, move closer to our position and go straight to the battlefield on the left."

With a command, countless soldiers in the mountain bunker rushed out and rushed straight to the left side of the battlefield.

He Dachuan personally carried the gun and rushed for hundreds of meters in a row. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the soldiers rushing up from Europe.

"Damn it, we finally got up. Quickly form a machine gun position and do it for me!" He Dachuan pointed at the soldiers in the European Zone and shouted hysterically.

The machine gun position was quickly formed along the mountain group.

"Da da da da da...!"

The dense firepower net was opened, and the soldiers of the 122nd Army were in a state of high and low attacks, and the soldiers in the European Zone began to rush and rush.

In the command position of the First Army of Zhou, the chief of staff looked at the mountain with a telescope and said in disbelief: "Oh my God, how many soldiers do they hide in the mountain? There are at least 15,000 people! In addition to the air defense forces that defend Hongdan Airport, they must have even transferred logistics personnel."

"God!"

The brigade commander of the 33rd Brigade was also stunned. He looked at the battlefield in disbelief and said, "It has been less than three days since Gu Yan's army entered the Yamen. Can they dig out so many covers in the mountain?!"

He Dachuan told them with practical actions that more than 10,000 people not only dug up bunkers in the mountain, but also created a joint hole that could be connected to each other.

Digging day and night, working day and night, although there are shortcomings, the 122nd Army's determination is still shown!

The three regiments immediately added to the offensive line of the 33rd Brigade in the first zone, and destroyed more than 500 people in just one round.

"...CNM, don't care about the people of the Zhou system." He Dachuan stared at his eyes and shouted: "Aren't they the Marines claiming to be invincible in the world? I just have to fight head-on and eat all the infantry of the 33rd Brigade. I agree with each other, but they must lose their morale!"

"One Division and one regiment, rush for me!" A regiment commander rushed down from the mountain and fought together in the 33rd Brigade.

He Dachuan's military command ability was indeed not good before. He was a bandit and had no education, but there was an old saying that it was good, "A man should look at him with admiration after three days of separation."

After the three major regions were unified, He Dachuan, as the commander of the lieutenant general, would definitely not be able to learn. He did not lack practical experience, but he lacked theory and more advanced knowledge reserves.

The bandit is old and covered in scars. He is no longer able to do the stormtrooper work, but he can command it!
