Chapter 962 Chapter 963 Chicken Pecking Evolution Edition

The battlefield was in chaos, and no one cared about the few tankers who escaped from the tanks.Everyone is fighting each other, or a few people are bullying each other because of their numbers.

Of course, if you have a submachine gun at this time, then you can bully several opponents by yourself...

The Qin State, which was more advanced in tactics and tactics, had more experienced soldiers, and fought more fiercely, gained the upper hand in the melee. Soon a No. 4 tank broke through the defense line and wreaked havoc at the entrance of the village.

How glorious the Tang Army's tanks were on the enemy's position back then, how arrogant the Qin Army's tanks are now.

The Shu troops, who lacked actual combat experience, had to abandon the village and start retreating, but due to organizational problems, the retreat soon turned into a rout.

Most of the artillery support that finally arrived fell on the open space, but then the Shu Kingdom adjusted the shooting parameters and blew up their lost villages to ruins.

During this period of time, the battle situation on the border of Shu State was mostly like this. Only a few fortified areas with strong fortifications withstood the attack of the Qin army, and most of the remaining defense lines were penetrated by the Qin army.

As expected by the General Staff of the Tang State, the border defense line that the State of Shu placed high hopes on actually did not play much role. Hundreds of thousands of Shu troops were surrounded and retreated, and the situation was already very critical.

Liu Jing, the speaker of the Shu Kingdom, couldn't care less about visiting the Tang Kingdom, so he could only stay in the country to supervise the war.The Shu army was defeated again and again, but because the Qin army's field maneuverability was not as good as that of the Tang army, it was not easy to encircle and annihilate the Shu army.

This is basically tantamount to saying: I have played the style of the Tang Dynasty, but I have not fully played the style of the Tang Dynasty...

In another sense, "Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die".Only at this time did Qin's commanders realize that they seemed to be far from the Tang army three years ago.

In recent years, the senior military commanders of the Qin State have tried their best to learn the military tactics of the Tang Empire's army, but they didn't realize until today that the Tang State's tactics are really not something ordinary people can learn.

About three years ago, as long as the Tang army broke through the defense line, a large number of troops could keep up, and then use the field maneuver advantage to surround the opponent, causing terrifying damage to the opponent.

This is the power of the so-called annihilation war: as long as you encircle the opponent, you can kill a large number of enemies at a relatively low cost, and the cost performance is naturally extremely high.

However, when actually using this set of tactics, Qin's commanders found that although their tank troops could tear through the line of defense, the subsequent follow-up speed really couldn't be as fast as the Tang army.

Their armored vehicles are too few, and their logistics supplies are too hip.In the field state, the time for troops to stop and rest and wait for supplies is far longer than the time it takes to break through the enemy's defense line.

Now they know that the real kung fu is in those places that people don't pay attention to on weekdays. It turns out that to realize Tang Jun's tactical theory, a sufficient number of tanks is only an entry-level level, and it is just a basic data that meets the standard.

A hundred tanks with advanced performance can tear through the enemy's defense line, but behind these one hundred tanks to expand the results of the battle, there are three hundred armored vehicles, five thousand veterans with rich combat experience, and two hundred assembled artillery pieces. 200 aircraft of various types, 400 trucks responsible for logistical supplies!

If you want to go further, it is a railway with an astonishing capacity, tens of thousands of tons of fuel, hundreds of thousands of ammunition, and tens of thousands of tons of food and medicine...

Looking at the magnificent Tang troops, they rushed forward for more than 100 kilometers in one day, relying on the terrifying transportation force, as well as the labor results of the careful calculation of the logistics department of the staff department and the cooperation of countless transportation personnel.

What about Qin Jun himself?On the second day after breaking through the defense line of the Shu Kingdom, one-third of the tanks broke down or were paralyzed on the road to attack due to lack of maintenance parts.

The number of trucks is seriously insufficient, and logistical supplies are slow. A large number of troops can only stop halfway to wait for follow-up ammunition and food before moving on.

The most embarrassing thing is that because of the serious shortage of supplies, a spectacle appeared on the battlefield.

The traditional cavalry, with a large number of horse-drawn carts, has become the fastest attacking force, the infantry advances faster than the armored force, and the mechanized force that is short of fuel has become the slowest garbage.

The border road section of the Kingdom of Shu, which was not very good, was deliberately destroyed, and now it has completely become a nightmare for the Qin army to advance.

In the torrent of Qin troops advancing along the limited road, soldiers can be seen everywhere helping to push carriages and pull artillery, just like trackers.

From time to time, these troops had to disperse to avoid the Shu fighter jets roaring from the sky. This situation was really unexpected by the senior Qin generals.

What they didn't expect was that the Shu Kingdom also organized more than 400 bombers to take off from the front-line field airports and greet the border cities of the Qin Kingdom.

This is also the first time in a hundred years that the hinterland city of Qin State has been attacked by war.Countless Qin people were displaced, and a large number of civilian houses were destroyed and destroyed.

The Qin State Air Force frequently took off planes to intercept these Shu State bombers, but the interception effect was actually not very good.Without radar warning, we can only organize frontline soldiers and civilians to use their eyes to alert, and then rely on telegraphs and telephones to transmit news of enemy air strikes. This efficiency is obviously too slow.

What's more, the bombers of the Qin Air Force are also constantly dispatched to bomb the hinterland of Shu. In this case, the ground's naked eye security checkpoints can't tell whether the bombers passing by the sky are returning bombers or enemy invading bombers.

Therefore, there are many false alarms, and the anti-aircraft artillery positions often accidentally injure friendly troops. In a short period of time, there are more planes shot down by our own people than shot down by the enemy.

No way, you said you just find someone, hold up a telescope to see if there are planes passing by in the sky, what can he understand?
Let's relax the conditions, let the enemy's plane pass, and the rear was bombed, and the leader must be held accountable, and he must be held accountable.Tighten the conditions, and report when you see a plane. As a result, your own planes are often attacked by ground artillery or harassed by your own fighter jets.

In the end, no one knew what to do.Some people even naively thought that if the Tang Empire joined the war now, it would definitely have similar problems.

It's a pity that they don't know that most of the aircraft in the Tang Empire have installed a radio device for identifying friend or foe, which can distinguish friendly aircraft from enemy aircraft through radar and radio equipment.

In just the first month of the war, the State of Qin advanced more than 130 kilometers into the territory of the State of Shu, but the losses of both sides were greater than expected.

Qin finally assembled 300 fighter jets and 500 bombers to participate in the battle. As a result, in this month, more than 170 planes were shot down, and less than 400 planes could fly.

The Shu Kingdom is also very tragic. When the war started, 1000 planes were deployed on the border, but now there are less than 700 planes that can fly.

Because Qin State was on the attacking side, it suffered more losses. The situation on the Shu State side was slightly better, but overall it was the disadvantaged side: they lost their positions, many troops were defeated, and the ground losses were more.

Since the start of the war, Qin State has lost more than 200 tanks, Shu State has lost more than 250 tanks, and the losses of armored vehicles on both sides are similar, each about 400.

However, in terms of military strength, the loss of the Shu Kingdom is much greater: the Qin Kingdom probably lost more than 1 troops, and the Shu Kingdom has already suffered more than 5000 casualties, and at least 3 people were captured.

This loss also intuitively reflects the actual military gap between the two countries from the data.

The pre-war analysis of the Tang Empire's staff department came to a conclusion similar to the above data.It's just that Qin Jun's actual performance was a little more hip, and the Shu Kingdom was also not as tough as the Tang Empire estimated.

To put it bluntly, it was Loew and his staff who overestimated the Qin army and the Shu army, so their conclusion was correct, but the actual situation was wrong.

The actual situation is that the loss of the Shu army was greater than estimated, and the strategic victory of Qin State was not as great as imagined... Specifically, who performed better, only God knows.

For this, Loew was very annoyed, and the staff department was almost completely humiliated by the two bastards of Qin and Shu.

He couldn't criticize these two countries, so in the subsequent meetings, the chief of staff of the empire, Marshal Loew, was almost pissed off by everyone's jokes.

Even His Majesty the Emperor unscrupulously joined the army of teasing Loew, and told a joke in the conference room, causing Loew and the generals of the staff almost to put their heads between their legs.

But jokes are all jokes. The world situation has indeed become tense because of Qin's declaration of war against Shu. Shu's special envoy hopes that the Tang Empire can mediate the war between the two sides, while Qin's special envoy has been obstructing and delaying.

Diplomatic envoys from various countries are asking about Tang's attitude towards this war, and secretly asking if Tang has any plans for further expansion.

In fact, everyone is waiting for a result, an answer to whether the Western Continent is really going to be chaotic: If the Western Continent is in chaos, then the Eastern Continent will definitely be chaotic.

Everyone wants to gain their own benefits in the troubled times, so everyone is watching Tang Guo's attitude, whether Tang Guo will live up to his words and join this war.

But unfortunately, the answer they heard was not the answer they wanted: the Tang Empire was not in a hurry to get involved in the war in a short time, and the Tang State was very calm, at least on the surface, very calm.

Tang Mo had no idea of ​​expanding the army to prepare for war, and even mobilized some troops to deploy near Fengjiang, and there was no other movement.
