Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#369 - Night Raid

Jin Kai, the commander of the Falcon Special Forces Brigade, repeatedly reconnoitered the enemy positions across the river after receiving the combat order. Due to the relatively open terrain in front of the positions, a frontal assault would be very difficult. After careful planning, he formulated a daring combat plan.

Han River Bridge Actual Map (North Bank on the Opposite Side)

Night fell.

According to the information obtained from prior reconnaissance and the underground People's Army guerrillas, the button to blow up the bridge should be in the hands of a Coalition battalion commander in this command bunker.

If they could destroy this command bunker in one fell swoop, then the enemy would most likely not have the chance to blow up the bridge in time.

Therefore, the most crucial part of the entire sneak attack plan was to destroy this command bunker before the battle began!

But this was not an easy task.

This command bunker was constructed of reinforced concrete, and even a 150mm howitzer might not be able to shake it, let alone artillery of other calibers.

"Falcon, Falcon, Huntsman is in position, repeat, Huntsman is in position!" After carefully observing the situation of the suspected command bunker on the front line, the squad leader finally confirmed that his position was indeed the right place.

Behind him, two more squads landed and quietly entered the position behind them.

At the first checkpoint in front, at least 5 rocket launchers were loaded with cloud-explosive bombs, aiming at the distant command bunker.

However, this was not the end. After they were in position, a faint roar came from the air, and another 5 gyroplanes quietly approached the airspace above this command bunker!

They hovered in the air, also installing cloud-explosive bombs and aiming at the command bunker.

With Jin Kai's order to fire, the first wave of 10 cloud-explosive bombs from the ground and air flew directly towards the target, implementing a saturation strike!

As the first cloud-explosive bomb hit the target, a huge fireball immediately rose up. However, this was only the beginning. After nine consecutive firelights all rose around the command bunker, most of the concrete bunker was melted!

Let alone finding survivors inside, it would be difficult to even find intact bone ash.

As soon as they opened fire, the artillery of the entire front line also began to fire according to the predetermined targets, working with the Falcon Special Forces Brigade to knock out the various strongholds of the Coalition forces near the bridge!

The Rogue Eagles and the defensive forces of the Coalition forces never expected to be attacked from their rear.

The Falcon Special Forces Brigade attacked from the air on one side and from the ground on the other, quickly gaining control of the front line, controlling both sides of the bridge, sending people to find the detonation wires for the bridge's explosives, and then calling for artillery fire to stop, to meet the assault battalion crossing the bridge from the opposite bank.

Because the first wave of assault troops still needed to check for landmines on the bridge, the progress of the first wave of troops was not too fast, but the bridge was not too long, only about 1000 meters.

More than ten minutes later, the assault battalion cleared the bridge obstacles and broke through to the south bank.

Immediately afterwards, the follow-up troops of the 100th Division continuously entered the south bank through the bridge. Guided by the ground firelight, the Falcon Brigade, like night owls in the sky, launched a merciless attack from the air on the Rogue Eagle and Coalition positions.

The Rogue Eagles never dreamed that there would still be some kind of aerial flying vehicle that could hover in the air at a hundred meters to launch an attack.

In the dark night, they only felt that they were being attacked from all directions!

The Han River defense line on the western front was completely disintegrated overnight.

Zhang Dabiao led the 100th Division all the way to the outskirts of Han City, and the tank battalion and heavy artillery regiment of the 16th Army all passed through the Han River Bridge and entered the south bank.

This dramatic victory made Li Yunlong a little unbelievable at first, but Lao Li's greatest advantage was creating miracles. Lao Li quickly accepted this achievement of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade. At the same time, he ordered the Falcon Brigade to immediately gather and hide. On this night, no one saw the scene of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, and those who had seen it had already received their boxed lunches, so the secret of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade was quickly hidden.

This was a new trump card of the 16th Army, and Li Yunlong did not want them to be exposed so early.

The Auspicious Three Treasures Group all broke through the front line and suddenly entered the vicinity of Han City, forming a trend of encirclement of Han City.

Lieutenant General Walker did not dare to be negligent and immediately launched a retreat operation.

Now the Volunteer Army's offensive was too fierce. Han City now had only the Rogue Eagle's 25th Infantry Division and the Southern Army's puppet 5th Division, the John Bull's (British) 29th Brigade and the Turkish Brigade. The breakthrough of the Auspicious Three Treasures almost annihilated half of these defenders.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Walker had no extra strength in his hands to invest in building a new line of defense. Under such circumstances, Lieutenant General Walker would not dare to pin his hopes on the Volunteer Army's mercy and unwillingness to attack, no matter how stubborn he was.

He began to withdraw the Coalition headquarters and logistics departments to the south.

On the front line, because the Rogue Eagle's 25th Infantry Division's M26 heavy tank unit and the John Bull's 29th Brigade's 8th Cavalry Regiment's Centurion heavy tank squadron of 57 tanks were severely damaged on the battlefield and defeated by the Dragon-Type Tank I in one fell swoop, the Coalition's heavy tanks were almost exhausted.

Faced with the overwhelming attack of more than 100,000 troops from three armies of the Volunteer Army, Lieutenant General Walker, who was already powerless to turn the tide, had no choice but to retreat, preserving the last bit of vitality and seeds of the Eighth Army.

Having fought to this point, it was no longer meaningful for the Eighth Army to stay in Han City. Staying would only send heads to Li Yunlong and his men without any benefit.

Because there was no air support now, and there were no newly增援 troops on the ground.

Lieutenant General Walker's command was not a problem, but his luck was not good. During the hasty retreat, the jeep he was riding in actually overturned, taking Lieutenant General Walker away.

Lieutenant General Walker never dreamed that he would not die under the artillery fire of the Volunteer Army, but would die in a car accident during the retreat from the battlefield.
