Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 107 Great Depth Tactics

In a meeting room of the governor's mansion in Kangshui City, the capital of Luochuan Province, Su Yi asked He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen: "What are your specific plans for the more than 500 million enemy troops in the Dingxincheng area, Fuyang City area, and Anzhou City area?" Is there a battle plan?"

Cheng Ziwen immediately said: "Marshal, we will deploy one guard infantry brigade and seven field infantry divisions in the Dingxincheng area, two guard infantry brigades and [-] field infantry divisions in the Fuyang City area, One guard infantry brigade and eight field infantry divisions will be deployed in the state city area. In addition, we will carry out pincer offensives in the above three areas, trying to encircle and merge the troops of the Sharad Empire and the Cangyu Empire in these three areas. Annihilation."

Su Yi nodded and said, "Then implement it according to the battle plan you formulated! Does anyone have anything to add to the upcoming battle?"

He Yunfei said at this time: "Commander, I think that in the next battle against the Dingxincheng area, Fuyang City area, and Anzhou City area, the offensive should not pursue breadth, but depth. We should concentrate powerful artillery firepower, From three kilometers to five kilometers in front, suppress the enemy's entire depth with firepower, then quickly penetrate the entire defensive area of ​​the enemy, and then invest in follow-up troops to expand the results of the battle. Only in this way can we truly exert the power of the pincer offensive. If we concentrate our firepower first Hit the enemy's front line of defense, and after consolidating the results of the battle, then gradually advance, and soon most of the enemy troops in the above three areas will be let go."

Su Yi didn't spend 12 years as a soldier in another world. Su Yi understood that the offensive tactics mentioned by He Yunfei are called the theory of deep battles on the earth. Based on the experience and lessons of World War I, it was put forward in order to adapt to the development of weaponry and equipment. It is an important guiding ideology for the implementation of offensive campaigns.

The theory of large-depth campaigns emphasizes suppressing the enemy's entire defense depth with lethal weapons, breaking through the enemy's tactical defense area in a selected direction, and then putting the rapid cluster of expanded results into battle, quickly developing tactical victories into campaign victories, so as to achieve the goal as soon as possible The goal.

Su Yi frowned and said: "This kind of deep tactics requires a lot of troops. If the follow-up troops can't keep up, the front assault troops are likely to be surrounded by the enemy. You must know that our Su family army has invested a total of [-] A field infantry division and four guard infantry brigades are at a disadvantage compared to the coalition forces of the Besharad Empire and the Cangyu Empire in terms of strength, but the specific tactics have to be decided by Yunfei and Ziwen. Great depth tactics are fine, and I won’t object to them, I don’t ask for the process, I just want the result.”

He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen looked at each other, and they both nodded slightly, then Cheng Ziwen said: "Don't worry, commander, even if something goes wrong with this deep tactic that quickly penetrates the enemy's entire defensive area, with the firepower of our Su family army A powerful artillery unit can also save the situation, so Yunfei and I both decided to try the big-depth tactics. If the big-depth tactics really work, then the more than 500 million people in Dingxincheng, Fuyangcheng and Anzhoucheng areas The enemy army basically didn't run away."

Since the Su family army suddenly launched a full-line attack, the bad news spread one after another to the capital of the Sharad Empire, Feni City, and the capital of the Cangyu Empire, Cangyu City.

In just fifteen days since the start of the war, the Su family's army had advanced almost [-] kilometers into the territory of the Cangyu Empire, and surrounded the two Sharad Empire infantry regiments and two Cangyu Empire infantry regiments in the Dingxincheng area of ​​the Cangyu Empire's southern Hebei province. Imperial infantry regiment.

It also surrounded three Sharad Empire infantry regiments and two Cangyu Empire infantry regiments in the Anzhou City area of ​​Lunan Province of the Cangyu Empire.

The Su family's army was only in the Fuyang City area of ​​Hongshan Province in the Cangyu Empire, and did not complete the formulated battle plan.

The four Sharad Imperial Infantry Legions originally in the Fuyang City area, under the leadership of its commander-in-chief, Slava, the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Sharad Royal Army, quickly withdrew from the Fuyang City area. As a result, two guard infantry The brigade and fifteen field infantry divisions of the Su family's army surrounded only four infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire in the Fuyang City area.

Slava, the head of the Second Infantry Corps of the Royal Sharad Army, did not notice the attempt of the Su Army to encircle their four infantry regiments of the Royal Sharad Army. The reason why Slava retreated so resolutely was because of the Su Family Army's The artillery unit blew up all the large-caliber artillery of the four Royal Sharad Army Infantry Regiments.

After Slava received the combat order from the Army Department of the Sharad Empire, that is, at 22 o'clock in the morning on May 11, after launching a pre-emptive attack on the Su Family Army in the Ziyue Empire, Slava ordered the Royal Army of Sharad to Thousands of large-caliber artillery from the Second Infantry Regiment, No.20 Infantry Regiment, No.20 Sixth Infantry Regiment, and No.75 Seventh Infantry Regiment were all gathered together to form several huge heavy artillery groups. Including 75mm field gun, 105mm infantry gun, 127mm howitzer, 155mm howitzer and [-]mm howitzer.

However, what Slava never expected was that the Su family army launched an attack two days before the attack, and soon after the attack began, it used intensive artillery fire to destroy all the heavy artillery positions of the four Royal Sharad infantry regiments. After turning it over several times, tens of thousands of shells were detonated. As for the fate of thousands of large-caliber artillery pieces of the four infantry regiments, one can imagine.

Without the suppression of large-caliber artillery, Slava did not think that the four Sharad Royal Army infantry regiments could block the attack of the Su family army in the Fuyang City area. Before that, Slava had already experienced the strength of the Su family army in the Ziyue Empire. As for the same The four Cangyu Empire infantry regiments stationed in the Fuyang City area, Slava only regards them as a burden.

The four infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire combined only had more than 40 artillery pieces exceeding 75 mm, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were still mainly outdated breech-loading single-shot rifles.

When Slava led the four infantry regiments of the Royal Sharad Army to retreat, he gave the four infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire an order to stand firm, precisely because of the four infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire Blocking the gun enabled the four infantry regiments of the Sharad Royal Army to successfully withdraw from the Fuyang City area, but the four infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire were surrounded by the troops of the Su Family Army.

Under the fierce offensive of the Su family army, the army of the Sharad Empire and the army of the Cangyu Empire stationed in the southern Hebei Province, Hongshan Province, and Lunan Province of the Cangyu Empire also retreated all the way. The armies of the two countries in the area and the Anzhou City area suddenly became isolated and helpless.
