Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1182 Surrounding
The battle for the devils to attack the steel plant started in the early hours of the second day.

Since the iron and steel plant is the main attack direction of the devils, the attack was as violent as a mountain and a sea when it started:

The artillery of two artillery regiments provides firepower for it on both sides, and a squadron of fighter jets and a squadron of bombers participate in the battle in the air...

Originally, under the threat of the Eighth Route Army's "La [-]", the devil's aviation troops, especially the bombers, basically did not dare to participate in the battle.

But if the main direction of attack is set at the steel plant, it will be an exception.

The reason is that at this time the Eighth Route Army's aviation forces will be in a dilemma, and their participation in the war is either not or not.

Let's join the war, the fighter plane must land at the temporary airport of the steel factory.

At this time, if the infantry of the imperial army advances a few miles, can the artillery hit the steel factory airport?So does the fighter plane have to land under the artillery fire of the imperial army and risk refueling and mounting bombs?

This is obviously very dangerous.

If the Eighth Route Army Air Force does not participate in the war, there is no doubt that the imperial army will have the upper hand in terms of air supremacy.

Sure enough, the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army did not participate in the battle.

This made Yu Nakata, head of the 59th Division, more confident.

Yui Nakata led the 59th Division and had fought back and forth in the iron and steel factory several times, but each time ended in failure. The last time the Eighth Route Army counterattacked with continuous rifles could even be said to be "defeated." ".

This caused Nakata Yui to have some psychological shadows. Before the battle, he said to the staff worriedly: "If all the Eighth Route Army is equipped with this kind of repeating rifle, then even if there is only one regiment of their troops stationed in the steel factory, then it will be impossible for them to fight. It's also hard to deal with!"

The staff officer had no objection. He was also one of the members who fled in embarrassment after throwing away all the equipment in the last battle. He understood that the eighth route army's continuous-firing rifles could burst out huge firepower in a short period of time. A line of defense.

And if this kind of rifle is used for defense on high ground... I'm afraid that even a division can't defeat a single regiment of the enemy!

But of course the staff will not say these words.

Staff Officer An Wei Nakata said: "Major General, we have an advantage in artillery. No matter how advanced the enemy's rifles are, there is nothing we can do about the bombing of artillery, right? What's more, we can consider supplying the enemy. Easier to consume ammo!"

Nakata Yui nodded and replied: "That's the only way!"

Therefore, Yui Nakata was very conservative in this battle from the very beginning. He adopted the advice of his staff. On the one hand, he used artillery to bomb the positions of the Eighth Route Army and its logistics supply lines, and on the other hand, he sent a small number of troops to continuously test the Eighth Route Army's defense lines Sexual assault in an attempt to consume the ammunition of the Eighth Route Army...

This once made Nakata very depressed.

Back then, when the imperial army fought against the Huaxia army, the battle ended in a wave of rushing up. How can it be like this now, with superior artillery fire and superior strength, but still carefully move the defense line little by little? Move forward, and the tactics still consume enemy ammunition.

But the reality of the battlefield is like this. No matter how unwilling Nakata Yuki is, he would not dare to fight the battle of anger with the lives of his subordinates and his own future.

Until dozens of fighter planes from the empire successfully seized the air supremacy of the steel plant and immediately bombed the temporary airport of the steel plant, Yui Nakata finally let out a breath of anger.

"The Eighth Route Army is the Eighth Route Army!" Nakata Yui laughed as he watched the fighter planes flying in the sky: "They still don't know how to conduct air-to-ground coordinated operations!"

Then the information from the front made Nakata Yui even more overjoyed.

A communications soldier ran up to Yui Nakata, who was watching the battle, and reported, "Major General, the enemy in front shows signs of retreating!"

This surprised Nakata Yui, did the victory come too suddenly?
But it's not surprising to think about it.

The most needed thing for a repeating rifle is ammunition. If the air supremacy is lost, it means that the Eighth Route Army cannot guarantee supplies from the steel plant to the front-line fortifications. So can the Eighth Route Army's front-line defense continue?
At this time, the best choice for the Eighth Route Army should be to withdraw to the steel factory and use the city walls and fortifications there to continue to defend!

Sure enough, another intelligence came from ahead: "The Eighth Route Army has withdrawn to the steel plant one by one!"

Overjoyed, Nakata immediately ordered: "The whole army pursues and traps the Eighth Route Army in the steel plant!"

Nakata knew that the terrain of the steel plant was very suitable for bolt-action rifle operations.

The repeating rifle can fire in bursts but at short range... The Empire has already got the repeating rifle and is doing preliminary tests with it.

And the steel plant is surrounded by an open area of ​​several hundred meters. Although this is not suitable for the imperial army to charge, if the imperial army surrounds the outer circle, with the range of bolt-action rifles, can the Eighth Route Army inside still be able to charge out?
As for how to attack the steel plant, this has never been a problem for the empire.

Bombardment with artillery fire is an option, but the Imperial Army will not do it.

The reason is that the empire also lacks steel, and the steel plant is also a very important resource for the empire. Of course, the empire must make every effort to completely return the steel plant to its own hands.

Therefore, without hesitation, Nakata immediately ordered: "Bring up the 'special bomb' unit!"

The so-called "special bomb" refers to the poison gas bomb.

This thing is indeed an excellent equipment for hitting a target like a steel factory... The steel factory is relatively closed, and the gas bomb can kill all the enemies inside, but the equipment in the steel factory is unharmed.

At the same time, the empire does not need to send troops to fight the enemy in the steel factory.

Just kidding, if it was before, Nakata Yui might still fight street fighting with the Eighth Route Army, but now, after the Eighth Route Army has a bursting rifle, wouldn't it be courting death to fight street fighting with them?
Because of these considerations, Nakata surrounded the steel factory with only one brigade, and the other troops continued to advance along the defense line...

This is not because Nakata Yui is entrusted with big things, but Nakata Yui thinks that a brigade of troops is enough to encircle the steel factory.

At the same time, other troops continued to advance in order to isolate the iron and steel plant from the outside world so that the Eighth Route Army could not reinforce it.

As long as the "special bomb" unit is deployed, it will be the moment when the steel plant will return to the embrace of the empire.

Yui Nakata never expected that his actions were completely within Wang Xuexin's calculations and judgments.

It's not hard to guess.

This is how the devil should play if they want to take back the steel plant completely.

There was nothing wrong with this style of play. The Eighth Route Army with repeating rifles could only be trapped in the steel factory and wait for the "poison gas bombs".

The problem is that……

Yui Nakata was completely unaware that they had "surrounded" an overwhelming force.
