Chapter 351: Annihilation of a Division of Rogue Eagles
front.

The fierce fighting has lasted for five days and five nights.

The reinforcement troops of the 38th, 40th and 42nd Armies were all in place. When the casualties of the two blocking troops of Ding Wei and Kong Jie reached 50%, these fresh troops came forward directly to replace the soldiers of the 17th and 18th Armies who had been fighting bloody battles for several days, and completely stabilized the situation, locking the 24th Division in a narrow area northeast of Bochuan.

Li Yunlong's troops, who were responsible for the main attack, also replenished large quantities of ammunition several times, and used 107 rocket launchers and 122 rocket launchers to flatten the last line of defense of the 24th Division!

In order to deal with the 24th Division, the mountain artillery company and howitzer company of Li Yunlong's 16th Army were almost exhausted in the bombardment with the enemy.

The firing ranges of the artillery of both sides were similar. During the continuous bombardment, either I would find your artillery position or you would find my artillery position. The artillery positions composed of scattered artillery companies would have to be exposed in the battle and then be destroyed by the opponent's hidden artillery fire.

This cycle repeated itself in brutal and extreme exchanges, with the two sides engaging in a brutal showdown similar to that in the European battlefield of World War II.

Relatively speaking, Li Yunlong's side had an additional advantage, that is, the vehicle-mounted highly mobile 122 rocket launchers and 107 rocket launchers, most of which survived the artillery duel and became the protagonists of the attack on the 24th Division!

Only rocket launchers have such strong mobility that they can change positions after firing a round every more than a minute. In this battle, this mobility became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Li Yunlong.

The tank troops were also gradually consumed in the repeated attacks.

Not only did the army suffer heavy casualties, but the air force also suffered heavy casualties. Compared with the weaker air force, the damage ratio has reached a very dangerous level.

Faced with the crisis of the 24th Division, the Rogue Eagles had almost tried their best to save them. They used all the army within reach on the peninsula, and all the air force and navy stationed on the peninsula and near Honko. More than 200 fighter planes of various types were killed in the air battle north of Bochuan!

Although they can afford to lose fighter jets, they cannot afford to lose some pilots.

These more than 200 pilots either died instantly or were captured by Li Yunlong's troops after parachuting, resulting in heavy losses.

At the same time, the Volunteer Air Force also consumed more than 200 Mustang fighters, and almost half of the more than 300 Mustangs transferred to the Northeast to guard the border were consumed! Many fighter squadrons have been crippled.

The consolation is that about 80% of the downed fighter pilots were rescued.

After all, Li Yunlong now controls most of the ground in the air battlefield.

Both the Mustang and J-5 fighters are now being produced at full capacity, with burst monthly production exceeding 150 aircraft, but this is still somewhat behind the number being lost.

When the latest batch of fighter jets to reinforce the battlefield arrived at the border airport, more than a thousand fighter jets had almost been sent to half of the front line, and the remaining ones in other directions had been used up.

The only ones left were the air forces defending the small notebook and key areas in the southeast, and they dared not move. The air forces in the southwest and northwest were almost completely withdrawn!
The reason why the Volunteer Air Force was able to trap the 24th Division in the battle was because the Volunteer Air Force risked their lives in the air to entangle the Rogue Eagle Air Force.

Not only did they prevent the Rogue Eagle Air Force from providing more firepower reinforcements on the ground, the Air Force also ensured the safety of several major transportation arteries of the Zhisi, allowing weapons and ammunition to be quickly delivered to the front line, supporting the huge ammunition consumption of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie!
In this time and space, because someone had the foresight to plan everything in advance, it had a dream start.

However, this made the Rogue Eagle very uncomfortable.

They never dreamed that even with their powerful naval and air forces, three main divisions and an airborne regiment, and their all-out efforts to rescue the 3th Division, they did not achieve any results. Instead, they suffered a lot under the full-scale blocking of Kong Jie and Ding Wei!

Ding Wei and Kong Jie suffered more than half of their men killed or wounded. The three main divisions of the Rogue Eagles were about to attack, and the casualties were even greater. After fighting for so long, the loss of troops had exceeded two-thirds! As for the consumption of heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery, it was even more astonishing. At least 5% of the firepower was smashed in! Such a huge cost of casualties could not break through the positions of Kong Jie and Ding Wei. After five days and five nights of bombardment, they did not even break through the first line!

Such a cruel reality made Rogue Eagle very clear that the 24th Division probably could not be saved.

In order to leave some seeds with the 24th Division, at the last moment, when the 24th Division had less than one and a half regiments of remnants left, Lieutenant General Rogue Eagle Walker ordered them to surrender!
As a result, a great battle that attracted the attention of the Blue Planet ended with the annihilation of the 24th Division and the defeat of the three main divisions of the Rogue Eagle and the three main armies of the Dragon Country.

The first phase of the battle of the Longguo Volunteer Army came to a temporary end, and a wave of counterattacks reached the Anzhou-Deokcheon-Changjin Lake area, stabilizing the situation in the north.

According to the arrangement of the Zhisi, the 38th Army, the 40th Army and the 42nd Army took over the positions of Li Yunlong and his three armies and switched to defense. Li Yunlong and his army would retreat back to the country for rest and replenishment.

At the same time, a new batch of reserve troops from the 26th, 50th and 60th Armies have entered the peninsula as the second-line defense force.

Ensure that a large force of at least 6 armies is maintained on the peninsula.

In order to shorten the logistics support line, the Zhisi of this time and space did not follow the ideas of its northern neighbors and think about a quick victory, but set up defense lines and offensive targets strictly according to logistics supply capabilities.

Faced with Zhisi's steadily advancing tactics, Five-Star General Mike, who had suffered a heavy blow and was eager to get back at the plate, had no chance at all.

The rogue eagle of “I’ll be back” fame.

But this time, I found that I couldn't get back on track.

Of the five main divisions thrown into the peninsula, one (5th Infantry Division) and three (24th Infantry Division, 25st Cavalry Division and st Marine Division) are now completely destroyed, leaving only the th Infantry Division still in the south.

Although the situation has not reached the point of collapse, it is clear that there is no ability to take revenge in the short term.

Five-star General Mike had to curb his arrogant attitude and start to get people to work!
I Shall Return
First, the three severely disabled divisions had to be filled with National Guard officers and soldiers from the mainland, and at the same time, the 2nd Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division were also transported across the ocean to the peninsula.

A lineup of 6 reorganized divisions and one airborne regiment was formed on the peninsula. It should be noted that at that time, the Rogue Eagle had a total of 10 reorganized divisions. Except for one guarding the European continent, there were only three reorganized divisions at home, so a round of mobilization had to be carried out, and the National Guard was withdrawn to recruit veterans in the country to fill the vacancies.

At the same time, Rogue Eagle asked the Allies to send more troops to join the battle.

One of John Bull's two brigades has been wiped out, leaving the 2th Brigade. At the request of Rogue Eagle, they will send another Indian Brigade to make up for the losses.

In addition, Maple Leaf and Native Chicken, which originally only provided one infantry brigade, were also required to increase the number to two this time.

As for Gaul, Tulip and Kangaroo, they originally only had one infantry battalion, but now they also demand to increase it to an infantry brigade!

Together with a few other small brigades, the coalition forces had an unprecedented 10 brigades!

The total army strength exceeds 20!
