Chapter 344 Eastern Front
East side of the Cheongcheon River.

The night was like smoke, covering the whole area.

But the night sky was not peaceful.

There were roars of cannons, flashes of fire, and fierce tongues of flames spewing out everywhere!
"The Rogue Eagles are indeed a powerful army." Li Yunlong saw the fierce counterattack fire of the Rogue Eagle 19th Regiment. There were flickering tongues of fire everywhere, which made Li Yunlong's eyelids twitch. This was the first time he had seen such a fierce battle.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, so he could calmly accept everything that happened.

It was the first time that Li Yunlong encountered the rogue eagle head-on, and he was not at ease.

He followed Shen Quan's division headquarters directly to the front line. They were all iron-blooded tough guys who had emerged from the hail of bullets. They did not dare to face the current super tyrant of Blue Star.

On the contrary, even though he had a high opinion of Rogue Eagle, Li Yunlong was not afraid of any challenge.

In his opinion, the current equipment of his 16th Army is not far behind the top field forces on Blue Star, even if it is not.

Compared with the 40 years when millet and rifles were used to fight against the Japanese field regiments, this is already much better.

The first target of Li Yunlong and Shen Quan's attack was the position of the 24th Regiment, the main force of the 19th Division.

"Yes, Commander. It's thanks to the fact that our firepower has been increasing in recent years, and the tank battalions have finally arrived. If it weren't for the tanks bearing the firepower of the enemy in front, if it was just an infantry charge this time, our losses would be quite heavy."

Shen Quan's eyes were dark. He was very cautious about the Rogue Eagle. He did not relax his vigilance just because it was too easy to annihilate two divisions of the Southern Army. He strictly followed the tactics of infantry-artillery coordination and infantry-tank coordination.

Today we really encountered a powerful enemy. Even after a round of covering artillery bombardment, which eliminated some of the Rogue Eagle's troops and firepower, the firepower left on the Rogue Eagle's positions was at least the same as when they fought the Kwantung Army.

Under such firepower, it would be a disaster if we simply sent out an infantry charge!
For Shen Quan, he had no experience in the main world's historical time and space. In that time and space, the firepower at hand was far inferior to that of the Rogue Eagle. Even if the soldiers tried their best and were not afraid of sacrifice, they wanted to destroy an entire regiment of the enemy in an organized manner. After five battles, they only succeeded once!
This shows that the Rogue Eagle Army is no pushover, especially its reinforcements, which are three-dimensional firepower from land, sea and air.

Even in this time and space, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong have greatly enhanced their firepower, but it is still not easy to defeat such a force.

This is simply a piece of steel, not a bone!
"Tanks are the army's hardest fist." Li Yunlong looked at the rumbling sound of tanks advancing in the distance, as well as the occasional bursts of artillery fire and sparks hitting the tank armor, his thoughts fluctuating.

"Old Shen, I think it's not enough to have a tank battalion in the division. At least each main regiment should have a tank company. The Rogue Eagles are more generous. They have more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles in one division. I think this is reasonable. We should also give the main regiment a pair of strong fists. Now we are facing a strong opponent like the Rogue Eagles. If we don't have tanks, our fighting style will be very passive."

Li Yunlong was not too excited because the troops were advancing as planned.

"Yes, chief. Now the tank troops of the Rogue Eagle have not counterattacked. If our army did not have tanks and ran into such dense fire defense and encountered enemy tank counterattacks, perhaps our charge would have been directly crushed. I think we need to raise our awareness of the role of tanks. We can have fewer infantry. In today's war, the role of infantry has been greatly weakened under artillery and tanks. Unless it is a position defense battle, in such a frontal charge, the enemy's firepower will form a cross, and the artillery firepower covers the long range. The enemy is a regiment's position. If we invest two or three pure infantry divisions and want to bite it down, the price we pay is unimaginable." Shen Quan also saw some new changes in modern warfare.

"Boss Ren is the real hidden talent. If he hadn't analyzed the Rogue Eagle's troops so clearly, we would have been blindly relying on human wave tactics to fight this war, which would have been embarrassing."

Speaking of that brother, Li Yunlong smiled knowingly.

Fortunately, we have Brother Ren.

No matter how strong the rogue eagle is, today I will pin him to the ground and rub him hard.

Pingcheng side.

Rogue Eagle's front-line headquarters.

Lieutenant General Kendall of the First Army of the Rogue Eagles was not as calm as Li Yunlong and Shen Quan. As the commander of the front-line command, Lieutenant General Kendall was completely panicked after receiving the urgent report from the 27th Brigade and the 24th Division. The opponent was too strong, and now all illusions must be abandoned and the 24th Division must be saved!
The situation on the battlefield ahead was changing rapidly, which caught Kendall off guard.

The firepower of the Dragon Army is so fierce that, judging from the feedback from the front line, Major General Church bluntly said that it is even more powerful than the Rogue Eagle Main Division!

While the 24th Division was still concentrating on defense and preparing to hold on and wait for reinforcements, the situation of John Bull's 27th Brigade was very bad.

According to Brigadier General Corder's report, the two main battalions were attacked at the same time, and their current positions might not even survive the first round. The 27th Brigade is now calling for artillery support from the howitzer battalion, but it takes time to figure out the specific locations of the enemy's attack. In the dark, it is very difficult for artillery observers to confirm their positions, which has prevented the artillery positions deployed about 5 kilometers behind the brigade headquarters from launching an artillery counterattack.

Without the coverage of the howitzers, the enemy surged in from behind the tanks like a tide, and the 27th Brigade's position line of defense was broken through like a piece of paper!
骑兵第1师已经出动救援了，流氓鹰的骑1师此刻下辖骑5、骑7、骑8三个步兵团、第71（重型）坦克营与第70（中型）坦克营，以及第8工兵营、第61、77、82、99炮兵营和第29防空炮营等主战部队，齐装满员达到17000余人，全师实现机械化，配属了强大的炮兵部队和坦克分队，火力和战力都是流氓鹰第八集团军旗下第一军的绝对主力，比24步兵师还要强五分！

第71（重型）坦克营装备了M46巴顿坦克，坦克炮口径达到了90毫米，威力足以压制大熊T-34坦克的85毫米坦克炮。M46巴顿坦克是在M26潘兴重型坦克基础上改进，装甲继承了M26厚甲，坦克正面装甲102毫米/46°，换算成垂直装甲约为153毫米，侧面装甲76毫米，炮塔防盾114毫米，90毫米坦克炮1000米距离穿甲厚度可达147毫米！

This is the main heavy tank of the Rogue Eagle, and its power has posed a huge threat to the modified version of the Dragon Kingdom's T-34 composite armor. In the offensive battle after the Incheon landing, the 6th Tank Battalion of the Rogue Eagle encountered a Northern People's Army tank company consisting of 8 T-34-85s and 1 SU-76, and unexpectedly annihilated the entire People's Army tank company at the cost of no loss, thus proving that the performance of the M46 has surpassed the original T-34.

At this moment on the peninsula, Rogue Eagle has 3 such heavy tank battalions, each of which has 69 M46 heavy tanks and 2 M24 Chaffee command tanks.

This is the Rogue Eagle's fist force.

Now Lieutenant General Kendall has extended his fist!

The distance from Pingcheng to the 24th Division is only more than 60 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, the 2st Cavalry Division can arrive there in 1 hours.

This is also one of the reasons why the Rogue Eagle 24th Division was confident in its bold attack.

I just didn’t expect to meet such strong opponents like Li Yunlong!
