Chapter 332, the decisive battle
Seriously, containment does not equal victory.
When the news that their retreat was cut off reached the Royal Army who were deeply embedded in the enemy's lines, they did not panic because of it.
Although logistical supplies cannot be transported for a while, there are more than 50 people in this encirclement of [-] kilometers wide and [-] kilometers deep. If the supply cutoff lasts a little longer, it will easily form Total, irrepressible collapse.
But they don't think this will happen.
A swarm of twelve Knight Titans is still here, taking a back road to surround us?
It’s not certain who surrounds whom!
They did not continue to maintain the forward offensive posture, but divided a part of their strength and went behind them.
Six Knight Titans and more than [-] Sentinel mechas formed the core of the battle, preparing to regain the lost rear position.If conditions permit, it would be best to engage in one or two more effective encirclement and annihilation battles.
However, this time, their nightmare came.
The Alliance troops seemed fully aware of their plans and were ready to hold on.
Moreover, this time the alliance is determined to have no intention of retreating.
They even did not rely on trenches, fortresses and the like to hold on and attrition in a positional battle with the Royal Army.
The tank troops took the initiative to attack, and the Falcon fighter jets in the sky took the risk of lowering their altitude and began to provide fire support to the ground.Especially when some enemy artillery positions in the rear are detected, they are often blasted with a few missiles. If they are not completely destroyed, then they would rather risk being hit by rocket launchers and anti-aircraft guns than use laser cannons. He fired the remaining mountain artillery pieces of the enemy's artillery position.
On the frontal battlefield, the total strength of the alliance deployed on the battlefield to participate in the decisive battle was ten armored brigades.
番号分别为第1熄风旅，第13装甲旅，35-38装甲旅，59-62装甲旅。
These ten brigades have a total strength of only more than 8 people, but they have brought together nearly [-] Lion tanks and more than [-] combat armored vehicles of various types!
There is no doubt that Perbov went all out and regarded this battle as the most important decisive battle on the Black Arrow Star.
A total of 60 people from both sides fought a fierce battle on a front about [-] kilometers wide, organized into brigades and regiments!
For the Royal Army, the decisive battle came unexpectedly and exceeded their initial expectations.
Originally, at the beginning of the all-out attack, they were mentally prepared for a big battle.However, the overwhelming victory over the past few days made them relax.Some idiots think that the Alliance army is nothing more than this. Others who are not stupid tend to believe that the Alliance is not ready for a decisive battle with them and has chosen to avoid the edge.
But they did not expect that the alliance was not not prepared for a decisive battle, but decided to hold the decisive battle when the encirclement was formed and the two sides exchanged offense and defense.
The current situation is quite clear.
How about they assemble the alliance head-on and smash the ten armored brigades that are poking their butts behind them in one go.
Otherwise, they would be completely wiped out when they lost all their supplies in the encirclement.
But at this critical moment, they were cowardly.
Mainly because at the first time, they sent only six Knight Titans to the rear to deal with the encirclement.
According to the commander of the Royal Army, it was not that they did not dare to fight decisively, but that they did not have enough strength before the decisive battle began.
First, move these six Titans and the main force back, wait until all twelve Knight Titans have gathered, and then turn around and go back to fight this decisive battle, you will be more confident.
From some perspectives, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army was not wrong in his calculations. However, the only thing he made wrong was that he seriously underestimated the determination of the Alliance's armored forces in this battle.
In this decisive battle, courage and morale are extremely important.
If anyone is cowardly, a slight failure may lead to the collapse of the whole situation.
And this situation happened on the frontal battlefield.
After receiving the news to retreat and join the other six Titans, the six Knight Titans on the front line naturally did not choose to continue to attack and fight, and instead retreated.
But then, the alliance's armored forces had already penetrated quite deeply.
The ordinary infantrymen who were left in charge of the rear were simply unable to withstand such heavy offensive pressure.In the rear, under the fire of self-propelled artillery, their defense was already shaky; when the armored vehicles really began to impact their lines, they barely formed any effective resistance and collapsed completely.
Immediately afterwards, some core troops of the Royal Army were attacked.
Dozens of Sentinel mechas were bitten by the Alliance's Ramblers.Under the strong attack of hundreds of machine guns, the sentry mechas and the surrounding Royal Army infantry had to turn around and fight.
In the hasty battle, there was a relatively large gap in numbers between the two sides, and they were severely suppressed.
What's more, if the fighting lasts a little longer, there will often be batches of dense 155-mm howitzers bombarding the rear of the alliance army.
The artillery battalions under the alliance's armored brigades and the artillery support companies in each combined battalion have fully upgraded the original towed artillery to self-propelled artillery.The process of moving, deploying artillery positions, and then moving again has become much faster than in the past. It can adapt to armored forces more smoothly and provide fire support from behind when conducting a rapid breakthrough attack on the enemy.
At the moment, these firepower play a big role.
Under heavy artillery bombardment, the sentinel mechas, which lacked cover during their retreat, were destroyed very quickly.
Especially when the firefight distance is close to a certain extent, the Alliance infantry can also pose a great threat to them.
Not to mention the company and platoon-affiliated mortars. These are not very accurate. Facing the Sentinel Mecha, which is much more flexible than a tank, it is not easy to hit. , can only be used to beat the cannon fodder infantry of the Royal Army.
But that's enough.
The more terrifying thing in the hands of the infantry is the heavy bolter.
A company only has one, and if you hit a few or a dozen rounds individually, it won't be a big problem; but if you are beaten and beaten a bunch of times, then even a tank may not be able to withstand it, let alone the armor thickness compared to a tank. This type of heavy armored vehicle is much inferior to the Sentinel Mecha.
The machine guns and bolt machine guns on the infantry fighting vehicles, the heavy bolt machine guns of the infantry company, the long-range 155 heavy artillery... The Royal Army, with dozens of sentinel mechas and thousands of people, could not withstand such a fierce firepower attack. It didn't last long and it completely collapsed soon.
Not too many surrendered or escaped, and most of them were eliminated on the spot.
After this situation happened many times in a row, the six Titans that were retreating also felt that something was wrong.
The blood loss was so severe that they lost more than 3 troops in less than half a day.
If these ordinary infantry were not worthy of their care, they were all low-value cannon fodder after all.Then the loss of hundreds of Sentinel mechas cannot be ignored.The Sentinel Mecha is also a very expensive and important combat machine!
What's even more frightening is that they are obviously just retreating through conventional tactics, retracting their fists in order to punch harder when they punch next time.
But looking at the current situation, their tactical retreat is heading towards a complete collapse.
Their six Knight Titans gathered together to form the core area, which was not a big problem, but other parts were at risk of being completely destroyed by the alliance's military front.
They couldn't help but start to get entangled.
Although their six Titans are the most important, if they lose all the other troops, it will not be good news in the next decisive battle.After all, if there are only Titans, without the protection of infantry and sentry mechas, it will not be easy for the Knight Titans to exert their full power, and it will be easy for others to find their weak points and eliminate them.
They discussed whether they needed to go back for support and gathered the troops closer together.
However, when they were still thinking about the so-called 'next decisive battle', for the alliance's army, the decisive battle had already begun and had reached the climax of this stage!
While they were still hesitating, they were caught up.
At first, what appeared in their field of vision was the 61st Armored Brigade belonging to the Alliance Center Group.
The reason why it can be recognized is that the brigade, as well as the battalions and companies under its jurisdiction, have their unit numbers embroidered on the red battle flags, flying high on the armored vehicles, so that they can be seen at a glance. come out.
More than sixty Lion tanks were gathered in one place, with a distance of about 30 meters between them.The tank gun was raised high, and as it was moving, it would suddenly pull back from time to time, or use high-explosive shells to blast the Kingdom infantry, or use armor-piercing shells to shatter a Sentinel mecha.
More than 150 infantry fighting vehicles accompanied and interspersed around the area, providing supplementary fire support.
The brave and elite infantrymen not only did not cower behind, but marched between the tanks and even in front of the armored units.They seemed not to be afraid of death at all. Supported by the firepower of tanks, artillery and infantry fighting vehicles at the rear, and accompanied by the firepower of self-propelled artillery further back, they launched an attack in coordination.
Often after heavy firepower, before the Royal Army could recover from the deafening sound of artillery, Alliance infantrymen would already appear in front of them only a few dozen meters away, with cold muzzles almost stuck in their mouths. .
Under this situation, the six Knight Titans finally reached an agreement.
You can no longer retreat, you must turn around and fight.
In fact, there was no way to retreat.
At this distance, there were actually self-propelled artillery from the Alliance, which bombarded them with howitzers, but they were only blocked by the energy shield.
The six Knight Titans, determined to fight, were essentially drawn into a decisive battle without much mental preparation.
But despite the fact that this is the case, they are actually not aware enough at this time.
After all, there was only one brigade that appeared in front of them.
Their mentality at the beginning was that after the brigade was wiped out or temporarily repelled, they could continue to retreat and continue to gather the other six Knight Titans in the rear according to the commander-in-chief's opinion.
As a result, their counterattack seemed rather weak.
They first launched a series of missiles.
These missiles did eliminate a lot of the self-propelled artillery behind the 61st Brigade, greatly reducing the alliance's firepower density in a short period of time.Immediately afterwards, they used the self-loading howitzers on their arms to begin bombarding Alliance tanks.
Precise artillery fire can really blow up a Lion tank with one shot.Moreover, automatic loading and multi-barreled muzzles make their rate of fire quite fast.
After these Titans launched a counterattack, the 61st Armored Brigade began to suffer heavy casualties.
However, it has to be said that it was still a little too late for these Titans to launch a counterattack.
The surrounding Royal Army troops have begun to disintegrate.
In terms of morale, what gave them the final blow was the numbers of the two troops, which appeared on the frontal battlefield one on the left and one on the right at the same time.
Those are the 1st Quenching Brigade and the 13th Armored Brigade respectively.
These two brigade-level units have a combined total of [-] Lion tanks.
When they came in groups, their tracks rolled up yellow sand all over the sky, bringing the atmosphere of the battlefield to its climax.
The voice of the Knight Titan resounded throughout the entire army.They worked hard to fire artillery shells, destroy tanks, and try to stabilize the morale of the entire army.
However, the effect is not particularly ideal.
Eventually, tanks, armored vehicles, and even infantry units began to rush to a place not too far away from them. They started to fire against them at a distance of about a thousand meters.
The energy shields on the six Titans were flashing continuously. While suffering huge casualties, the Alliance forced these Titans into a situation where they had to fight with all their strength.
The distance of one thousand meters is already very close to Titan.
They were not cowards either. After briefly discussing tactics, two began to advance rapidly.
In addition to the long-range firepower of the Titans, the gravity fists and super huge chain swords they are equipped with are even more terrifying weapons.
When they rushed into the tank cluster, with one sword, one kick, one punch, one tank was destroyed.
The energy shield indeed had zero protective effect at close range, but they were accompanied by Sentinel mechas, the most elite Royal Army soldiers, and the fire cover of four other Titans at the rear.Under normal circumstances, the alliance's troops cannot actively enter the energy shield at all.
They started killing everyone.
Then, suddenly, the most violent explosion erupted on the battlefield.
The core of the explosion occurred on a Knight Titan fighting at close range.
An elite team wearing red power armor withdrew from the center of the explosion.
Of course they are the phoenixes.
With the cover of conventional troops, after they approached the Knight Titan, they quickly eliminated the surrounding protective Sentinel mechas, installed melta bombs, and finally escaped unscathed!
