Chapter 2161: Withdrawal

In the second round of offensive, the Northeast Theater of Sichuan Province fought very smoothly, and the battle damage is expected to be much lower than expected. In the middle, there is indeed the reason why the He family attacked first, which consumed three days of Shensha defenders, but it was really decisive. The factor is still due to the strong combat capability of Sichuan.
No matter how fierce the He family is, and no matter how exhausting the enemy is, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Shensha Corps to be unable to hold their guns. As long as you are an offensive team, you have to face the problem of gnawing defenses, attacking trenches, and pulling out enemy strongholds. Therefore, whether your strength is strong enough will directly affect the results of your battle and your own battle damage.
Back in those days, Qin Yu led the mixed brigade into the Northwest battlefield. Just after the battle began, there were a large number of deserters in the army, which became the shameful army of the entire Ninth District and the Second Theater...
And it took them five or six years in total to go from shame to glory. They did not know how many battles they fought and how many veterans they sacrificed before they had the dominant power in army operations.
Nowadays, the Shensha Corps has no advantage at all in front of the Chuanfu troops, except for better equipment.
…
The first defensive area in the periphery of the Shen was completely occupied three hours after the two brigades of the Sichuan government attacked, and the troops of the Shensha Corps could only be forced to retreat.
After the Sichuan Army seized the enemy's defensive position, they did not rush to execute the next round of offensive, but regrouped and rested briefly.
When soldiers were hiding and resting in the trenches, the logistics support unit in the northeast theater of Sichuan Province began to use helicopters to drop supplementary ammunition, food and other military materials.
After resting for about half an hour, Chuanfu did not hand over the rhythm of the offensive and defensive battle to the Shensha Corps, but immediately proceeded to the next round of offensive.
In this offensive, because the Sichuan government seized the enemy’s defense zone and had trenches and strongholds as cover, it changed the rhythm of the offensive, began to fight steadily, and proceeded slowly.
When the enemy's rocket army began to gather fire, the Sichuan army immediately hid in the trenches. After the opponent's firepower was covered, they quickly pushed out to continue pressing forward.
In this way, they grind forward little by little and consume forward, leaving the defenders of the Shensha Corps in a state of high mental stress almost all the time.
At more than four o'clock in the morning the next day, after the battle, he adjusted his combat thinking. The 186 brigade, which had always been the main attacker on the front line, was transferred to the 185 brigade, which had been covering and attacking from the side.
At this time, the outdoor temperature has reached the critical point of daytime exchange, which is the coldest time of the day.
While the soldiers of the Shen group in the second defense zone were resting in shifts, the 185 brigade suddenly launched an offensive.
The sinking soldiers who had been tossing for three days and four nights were forced to fight in the coldest and most sleepy times.
This battle lasted until more than eight o'clock in the morning before the Chuanfu troops began to retreat, and the Shenfu troops were able to keep the defense zone despite having paid a lot of battle damage.
In this way, the two brigades of 186 and 185 were constantly changing the intensity and rhythm of offensive attacks, harassing the defenders in the enemy's second defense zone in turn.
A whole day later, the two brigades regrouped in the early hours of the morning and attacked the second defense zone of the Shen system together.
This time, the defenders who had been tortured for a day and night in the second defense zone collapsed completely less than two hours after receiving the enemy, while the troops of the Sichuan family continued to press forward.
Someone might be wondering why Shen did not replace the exhausted soldiers in the second defense zone and let the brothers behind them go.
In fact, this is a matter of military common sense. The Sichuan family is the offensive side, and the two brigades also have 14,000 men. They have not many troops. In addition, after they have seized the first defense zone of the Shen family, they have the initiative to attack.
If there is a large number of defense changes in the second defense zone of the Shen system, the defending troops will definitely be called back. Then the Sichuan army can pinpoint this neutral attack, and the Shen system may not only lose its position, but also easily pit the subsequent defense troops.
There is a more important point, that is, the coalition forces on the north and south sides of Fengbei are 180,000 in total, while the Shensha Corps has only 70,000. Although they are on the defensive side with an advantage, the gap in strength is still very large.
The Feng family and the troops of the Second War Zone attacked in the south; the Sichuan Mansion and the He Group attacked in the east. The two-line battle zone stretched too long, and the Shensha Corps had no follow-up troops to change defenses. Seventy thousand people hit 180,000 people, and the defensive area was the entire Fengbei and South side. Such a large area of ​​engagement had already diluted the forces of the Shensha Corps.
…
After the Sichuan Army fought on the front line for two and a half days, the He-type troops that had recovered, drove into the battlefield again, took over from the combat area of ​​the Sichuan Mansion, and continued to attack the Shensha Corps.
This time, the He family also imitated the Sichuan army's offensive methods, focusing on harassment and torture, constantly changing the offensive intensity and rhythm of offensive, to consume the overall combat power of Bai Hongbo's army.
At this moment, the offensive tactics of the coalition forces are already very obvious, that is, relying on a large number of people and soldiers, they come to fight with the Shensha Corps, and they will not let your soldiers rest or stop your mechanized combat readiness for almost twenty-four hours.
In continuous battles, even the tank’s gun barrels can’t be carried, and they have to be repaired and replaced, not to mention people.
No one is beaten by iron, no officer or soldier can not afford such a toss. After Bai Hongbo persisted on the front line for about a week, he finally couldn't hold it anymore. He directly called Shen Wanzhou: "Commander, we...must have to give up the forward position. The opponent is fighting with us, war of attrition, soldiers and officers are exhausted to the extreme. There is no point in holding on. Not only will the position be lost...we will also have a large number of deserters and defeats..."
This week, Shen Wanzhou was under more pressure than anyone else. He naturally understood the situation on the front line, so he was silent for a short while and said: "The command will immediately issue an order to withdraw troops and return to defense. You will hold on for a few more hours."
"Yes!" Bai Hongbo responded.
At more than 11 o'clock that night, Shen Wanzhou was forced to issue an order for all troops to withdraw, and the main force of the Shensha Corps on the north and south sides of Fengbei to withdraw to the area within two hundred kilometers from the north and south for concentrated garrison.
This order was issued, which meant that the Shensha Corps was at the end of the battlefield in Fengbeiwai. Once the military activity area is squeezed, they can get fewer resources, and the military area they can control is even smaller...
In Fengbei, the General Political Headquarters of the Military, a tired and pale face, Shen Wanzhou, after a long time of consideration, personally connected the European Union 1st and 6th districts.
…
In the battle that lasted for nearly a week, He Dachuan was the coolest person.
This independent regiment led by the old Youtiao was tasked with managing the battlefield and providing appropriate support. Therefore, the army hardly experienced any major attrition and armament. On the contrary, it allowed him to capture a lot of prisoners.
In Xinxiang Life Town, Commander Zhou dialed Meng Xi’s phone and said to him in a succinct voice:
Be prepared, follow this trend, and the Shensha Corps has not been long...

"I know what you mean." Meng Xi nodded.
