The intelligence officer cautiously suggested. Hearing the intelligence officer's suggestion, Wu Yun Gale Riley rubbed his head, then shook his head and said, "There's no need. The Silver Stream Army thinks that our artillery has been completely destroyed. When they are full of confidence and use 12 barrels of 107s to bombard us, I will use 40 barrels of 122s to retaliate.
Let the cavalry retreat. The show is over. The Silver River Army got what they wanted and helped us get rid of two stumbling blocks. Now it's time for us to get what we want and help them get rid of that motley crew … "
Ishihara Ye wanted to scheme against Wu Yun Gale Riley, but he didn't expect that Wu Yun Gale Riley was also scheming against Ishihara Ye. Both sides wanted to get rid of the stumbling blocks around them, so the two sides had a tacit understanding to fight each other. Once the Blood Wolf Flag broke up the allied forces, the two largest forces would start fighting each other.
Although the allied forces were just a miscellaneous force in the eyes of Shi Yuanye and Wu Yun Gale Riley, they were still very tenacious. After all, many of them were border guards who had survived. They were the backbone of the battle against the Blood Wolf Flag. They didn't care about their lives. Unlike the Silver River Army, they really did have a blood feud with the Wolf Flag Army.
Before the Silver Stream Army entered the grasslands, if not for them, the Wolf Flag Army would have already defeated the remaining Han forces, killing all the men and enslaving all the women. Thus, when the Silver Stream Army fought against the Wolf Flag Army, it was mainly to see the situation and their chances of winning, while they fought with their lives on the line.
There were 8,000 people in the coalition army, but it was not enough compared to the Blood Wolf Flag. They were gathered by more than 20 forces, large and small, and their respective commanders had some small grudges against each other. They did not help the Blood Wolf Flag, and even if their soldiers fought with their lives, they still could not resist the counterattack of the Blood Wolf Flag. Although they had more troops than the Blood Wolf Flag, and even if their soldiers fought with their lives, they still could not resist the counterattack of the Blood Wolf Flag.
The cannons of the Wolf Flag Army weren't completely destroyed by the Silver River Army. When the Silver River Army saw the cannons of the Blood Wolf Flag Army bombarding the allied forces, they strangely stopped firing. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cannons bombarding the armored vehicles of the Black Wolf Flag Army. As more than a thousand cavalry retreated, the three infantry battalions that were in charge of probing attacks didn't chase after them. Instead, they retreated back to their camps to build fortifications.
When the cavalry that the Silver Stream Army had deliberately let go of joined the charge, the allied forces finally couldn't hold on any longer. Some of the smaller forces left the battlefield in order to preserve their strength. Then, the leaders of the mid-sized forces also started to make small calculations.
It wasn't that no faction stood up and fought to the death. A large faction with over a thousand soldiers took the initiative to charge at the very front. The leader raised their battle flag and led the warriors to counterattack amidst the rain of bullets. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough armored vehicles, and they didn't even have enough mounted heavy machine guns. As two huge tanks fired at them with both high and low caliber heavy machine guns, the countdown to destruction began.
More and more cavalrymen ran around the perimeter, the rifles in their hands spraying bullets like raindrops. From time to time, cavalrymen would quickly sweep past the assault vehicles and throw incendiary bombs at them.
However, more and more soldiers fell to the ground, and more and more assault vehicles were destroyed. When the Blood Wolf Flag's armored vehicles finally pressed forward, the entire brigade began to collapse.
At this time, dozens of armored vehicles under the lead of five tanks suddenly charged out from the Silver Stream Army's camp, directly towards the rear of the Blood Wolf Flag's formation. Following that, the Silver Stream Army's artillery position unscrupulously fired at the remaining cannons of the Blood Wolf Flag. The sky was filled with long red flames from the rockets.
The timing of the Silver Stream Army's attack was very accurate. When the allied forces were about to collapse, and when the Blood Wolf Flag was preparing to expand their victory, they launched a surprise attack. Although the Blood Wolf Flag had deployed close to 20 armored vehicles and a large number of anti-aircraft cannons, in the eyes of the Silver Stream Army, it wasn't much of a threat. After all, the Type-96 Tank was one of the earliest tanks in China. It wasn't something that could be penetrated by 700mm armor piercing bullets.
Both sides fired a barrage of rockets, but the military's target was the few remaining cannons and a small number of anti-aircraft cannons of the Blood Wolf Flag Army. On the other hand, the Wolf Flag Army's target was the Silver Stream Army's rocket cannons that had destroyed the entire Black Wolf Flag Army.
The dense red flashes covered the artillery position with a layer of red carpet. The smoke and dust covered the artillery position completely, and from time to time, there would be even larger fireballs igniting on the position. The artillery position's explosions didn't stop after the shells fell, instead, they became more and more concentrated. Following that, there was a deafening explosion that shook the entire barracks. The artillery's ammunition vehicles were detonated consecutively.
The sudden attack caused the Silver Stream Army's offense to slow down. Most of the troops turned around to look at the exploding barracks. There was also a problem with the command from above. No new orders were issued, and the officers could only loudly reprimand the soldiers to continue attacking.
The reloading time of the Blood Wolf Flag Army's 40-barreled artillery was ten times that of the 12-barreled artillery. Before the second wave of attack arrived, the armored vehicles should have dispersed to avoid the same fate as the armored vehicles of the Black Wolf Flag Army. However, because the barracks' explosion was too powerful, even the command center was affected, and the armored battalion couldn't be notified immediately.
At this time, the Silver Stream Army had lost a large number of professional officers, and the sequelae of the promotion of the lower ranks appeared. The commander of the armored battalion was only a former technical sergeant major. The only thing he was good at was maintenance and absolute obedience to orders. Therefore, he didn't let the armored vehicles disperse, but ordered his subordinates to speed up and advance as fast as possible.
At the same time, more than eighty assault vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns and recoilless cannons were spread out diagonally to the two sides due to the commander's cautiousness. They tried to increase the distance between them as much as possible. For a moment, the several kilometers of grassland was filled with billowing smoke and dust. Only at the very center were dozens of armored vehicles lined up in an orderly formation. Five tanks took the lead and continuously used their accurate fire control system to remove the anti-air cannons and anti-tank cannons' firing points.
Just as the tanks rushed to within a kilometer, a position where even large caliber machine guns could hit, the IFVs in the rear suffered the same nightmare that the artillery had brought to the armored battalion of the Black Wolf Flag Army. The carpet bombing reappeared. The only fortunate thing was that even though the IFVs were concentrated, the cross-section spread out was more than ten times larger than the artillery position. Only less than half of the armored vehicles were caught in the explosion.
For a moment, two places on the huge battlefield were filled with smoke. The flames were covered by the smoke, and the thick black smoke rushed out of the dust and dyed the sky black.
The loss of the armored vehicles behind them made the tanks anxious. They suddenly sped up their advance. At the same time, the Silver Stream Army secretly arranged their infantry to attack the Blood Wolf Flag Army's position.
The anti-aircraft cannons, armored vehicles, and anti-tank cannons formed a neon light next to the tanks. Countless sand was blown up and thrown away. The heavy tanks crashed through layers of flames and shrapnel, continuously firing at the Blood Wolf Flag Army's position. Fireballs with a radius of three to five meters flashed from the muzzles time and time again.
Although the Blood Wolf Flag Army's defense force did their best, they still couldn't stop the tanks. Flames sprayed out and spread out from the vehicles. That was when the reactive armor was detonated by the concentrated energy armor-piercing bullets. Behind the tanks, a thick yellow smoke rolled out. Almost all the armored vehicles shot out the smoke tubes on the bodies.
Looking down from the sky, thick yellow smoke rolled and dispersed along the ground, covering all the smoke and flames. Occasionally, there would be flashes of light, blasting out a swirling blank space in the thick smoke, which was then filled up.
When the tanks also shot out the smoke tubes, the space hundreds of meters in front of them was blocked. All the anti-aircraft cannons and anti-tank cannons lost their targets. Without radar vehicles, satellite guidance, and missiles, the battlefield fell into the cruelest strangulation in the late 1930s.
The tanks and armored vehicles didn't continue to fire. They just focused on charging. The Blood Wolf Flag Army officers on the position raised their pistols and fired randomly. The infantrymen with RPG7s were driven out of the position and into the thick smoke.
Most of these soldiers weren't professional soldiers. They held rocket launchers and looked at the thick smoke blankly. They didn't dare to rush in. The officer was furious and shouted even louder. At the same time, he ordered the other infantrymen to drive. Under the driving of the infantrymen, the soldiers took two steps forward and three steps back.
