Major Breneta, the first division of the Mexican mix, felt that he was really a dog, and the situation in front of him was terrible. The Yucatan peninsula was already suffering from the lack of troops, and the offensive was weak. Now even the retreat is blocked.
The major general originally thought this was the rebellion of Governor Merida Alfonso, and it could be easily resolved with a regiment. As a result, the regiment of more than 1,000 people has gone, and even those who have been wiped out have no idea.
Thousands of people in the division were trapped on the front line of Valladolid, but had to eat and drink by air transport from Mexico City. And now even the air transport is gone-the airport in Mexico City was hit by air from unknown sources, and the Air Force's transport planes are all finished.
"The bureaucrats in Mexico City are really idiots!" Major General Brittany unbuttoned his collar and stood in front of his division tent with camouflage nets.
The continuous situation makes the whole battle more and more disturbing, and the strength of the opponent seems to have just appeared. Major General Brenetta received the order to give up Valladolid and immediately turn back to attack Mérida.
"The person who gave this order is the idiot among the idiots!" Major-Brenita felt that he was really unlucky. "If we look back, what will happen to the forces of the Moxie Array? More than 20,000. No one will be surrounded by anyone. "
Even if the hate is so high, Major General Brittany can only lead the team to Mérida. Because the city must be taken down before the whole division cuts off the food, and now the supply will last for at most two days. And once the grain is cut, the first division of mixed editing will definitely collapse.
"General, you can rest assured. Mr. Suzano has sent two divisions to support us, one of them is the main division of the full editor. The support of the navy and air force will not be cut off." The staff is more optimistic about the current situation.
At present, the first division of mixed has retreated from Valladolid to the suburb of Mérida. Since the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula is a savanna, there is basically no complicated terrain to provide cover.
Arriving near Mérida, Major Brenita ’s divisional reconnaissance team found that the defensive position in the city had advanced to a distance of ten or twenty kilometers outside the city. This distance meant that the artillery in his hand could not directly attack the city.
"Bombard the town of 'Tikpo' for half an hour, and then let the tank cover the infantry. This kind of town can't survive for long." The major general looked at the map, and it was a small town that stopped him. Not a big problem.
The first division of the mixed division has a division artillery battalion equipped with a 105 mm light howitzer. The artillery opened its posture at a distance of 10 kilometers from the town of Tikpo.
The deafening cannon sounds quickly and continuously, this earth-shattering momentum can greatly boost morale. Major General Brenetta ’s division was a little further away from the artillery battalion. He lifted binoculars outside the division to look in the direction of the position and then the direction of the town farther away.
"How many Alfonso men are there across from us?" The major general felt that there should not be many people hidden in a town. After listening to the artillery battalion for a round, he felt a bit of a cannonball that hurt him. Get on the tank. "
The first regiment of the mixed first division is a mechanized regiment, the main force is 36 M60A3 tanks. Only ten minutes after the shelling, a tank company with an infantry battalion in an infantry fighting vehicle killed the city.
"Let the reconnaissance forces provide the main battlefield shelter, and don't let the enemy's reconnaissance personnel approach us."
"Make the attacking tank faster, and the slow one will only attract enemy shells."
"Pay attention to the enemy's unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and try to knock down those annoying things as much as possible."
In the past two days, Major General Brittany has gathered several broken soldiers scattered in the wilderness. These broken soldiers are desolate and bleak one by one, so sorry, from their mouths can be learned that Mérida has a very powerful artillery unit.
The major general also feared that the opponent ’s artillery was too fierce and had to be more cautious. His tank didn't even walk the main road, and after the bombardment, he passed through the field. Think about the distance of ten kilometers, the opponent's artillery should not respond.
If you can easily win the town of Tikpo, the major general will immediately order the entire division to carry out assault operations and use his mechanized motorized features to go straight to Mérida. As long as you enter the urban area, this battle will win half.
In the town of Tikpo, the Merida security forces stationed here are all in bunkers. As the town faced the enemy from Valladolid, the Qin Weidong commanding the battle sent the only mechanical and chemical barracks in its hands to build the fortifications.
The town has been fully formed, and five circular defensive circles have been dug around. Each defensive circle has deep trenches, as well as two or three meters thick wood and soil blast holes.
When the sound of the cannon sounded, all the battalions stationed here hid in the anti-blast holes. Waiting for the enemy's hundred rounds of artillery shells to smash down, at most, a small amount of trenches were blown down one or two, which had no effect on the entire fortification group.
The sentinel responsible for the observation looked at the outside world through the artillery mirror, and soon he heard the report on the radio, "Commander, the enemy ’s tank came up."
"You are stupid? According to the regulations, you should report your identity, position, enemy equipment, number and distance." The grassroots commander's reprimand came immediately from the radio. There are many rookies who have just joined the army.
The sentinel reported was very nervous, and his words were trembling and unorganized. The helpless officer can only come out to confirm himself, and soon a more detailed command began to be issued, "The rocket company is ready, the enemy tank comes up. The bearing is five kilometers ahead of our position."
Sixty-three 107mm rocket launchers began to be launched under the anti-blast holes of the position. A gun has twelve barrels, and a rocket battery has the firepower equivalent to an ordinary howitzer group.
At this moment, Major Breton ’s leading tank with a dozen tanks spread at least 500 meters across the battlefield. They were followed by dozens of infantry and armored vehicles, pulling a depth of one or two kilometers. According to common sense, such a large area is difficult to be covered by artillery fire.
M60A3 runs very happily on the grassland, there is almost nothing in the wilderness that can hinder their progress. The captain in the tank could already see the buildings in the town a few kilometers away, and it seemed to have been demolished into a white field.
"Our artillery is so powerful?" The officer of the leading tank company protruded half of his body from the turret of his command vehicle. He felt the speed and joy of the armored chariot galloping the battlefield, and also sighed his own firepower. powerful. "Then we should be left with boring occupation."
The tank company quickly advances to a distance of one kilometer from the town. At this time, in binoculars, it is already possible to see the emergence of some looming heads in the opposite position. The M60A3's machine gun started to sweep, adding a bit of might.
And when the impact of the tank company reached its climax, a continuous tail flame suddenly burst out of the town ’s position, and anti-tank missiles flew out of it.
The sudden change made the tank officer in charge screamed: "Release smoke and interfere."
Booming smoke bombs popped out on the battlefield, and dozens of M60A3s were shrouded in it. Some of the missiles launched from the town missed their targets and could only fly indiscriminately, but many more missiles flew towards the infantry following the tank.
Following the following chariot quickly released smoke to cover. The results of this first batch of anti-tank missiles were over, and a total of 50 were fired, but only less than five enemy armored vehicles were destroyed.
It was this wave of attacks that scared Major Breneta ’s tank assault force. The loss of five cars is also a loss, and no one wants to continue this loss. With little need for the commander to speak much, the entire assault force immediately began to accelerate forward.
The result rushed to a distance of about seven or eight hundred meters from the town, and an M60A3 suddenly flew without warning. A tank weighing dozens of tons jumped a few meters high, the track on one side collapsed, and the weight of the car fell down and overturned.
"Anti-tank mines?" the commander of the tank company exclaimed inside his turret. And just after his words fell, the town suddenly flew out a lot of trajectories, and hundreds of rockets flew out like a swarm of bees.
Damn, why is the firepower density so high in this place!
