Chapter 1230: Request for Coordinated Operations by the Hoplites

In the air command post of the Marin Division, on the future air command platform modified by a large transport plane, Major General Xie Ruinan (guest star of the book friend's real name), the commander of the Marin Division of the Red Police Corps, is preparing for the attack on the urban highland numbered 341. Bayi Chinese ＜≦≤

Lieutenant General Ren Rui, commander of the First Army of the Red Police Corps, entrusted him with this task because he valued the most elite armored force of the Marin Division.

The Marin Division has always been a force that focuses on development and construction. It was the first division-level heavy-armed force established when fighting IsIs.

It has four tank brigades, two infantry brigades, an air assault brigade, and a large number of other special arms.

Its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and it is a veritable reinforced division. In the Red Police Corps, most of the division commanders of other division-level units are brigadier generals, and Xie Ruinan, the major general's division commander, is even more valuable.

However, Xie Ruinan didn't feel relaxed about the highland in the city in front of him.

Nor did he feel that he was invincible because of the powerful combat power in his hands.

Since the official launch of the attack on Jerusalem, the Israeli army's explosive fighting power and tenacious fighting style have made the Red Police Corps deeply troubled.

The attacking troops in the three places also suffered certain casualties when they advanced to the goal of the first step.

This is also the battle with the largest casualties in the history of the Red Police Corps. In the past, in the face of those armed forces in Syria and Iraq, the Red Police Corps even maintained a record of zero deaths.

Of course, the battle in Iraq was helped by the map function, but in the battle in Syria, the soldiers of the Red Police Corps still maintained zero casualties, which is enough to explain everything.

During the more than an hour of attacking Jerusalem, fierce fighting broke out between the two sides in three directions of the city. In the fighting area, a large number of armored vehicles and tank wreckage were everywhere.

The Israeli army suffered two or three thousand casualties, and the Red Police Corps also suffered hundreds of casualties, of which more than two hundred died directly.

Most of these deaths were killed by snipers hidden inside buildings by Israeli forces.

From the establishment of the Red Police Corps to the present, there have been such huge casualties for the first time in battles in this world.

Even if the ratio of casualties to the enemy reached one to ten, it was still very painful news.

And these casualty figures,

It is all under the condition of occupying the air superiority, otherwise the number will be even higher, and it will not reach the record of one to ten.

Among them, Master Ma Lin suffered nearly a hundred casualties, which made Xie Ruinan inevitably a little annoyed in his heart. At the same time, he dared not underestimate the opponent in front of him.

Now, the goal in front of the Marin Division is the defense line that the Israeli military has prepared for more than ten days. If it attacks like before, the number of casualties will be even greater. There is no doubt about it.

After all, the previous battles were all outside the opponent's main line of defense. Those Israeli soldiers only relied on houses to resist. There were no obstacles on the road and no anti-tank mines.

"Master, the Tiger Battalion has successfully established a line of defense at the intersection of T, and the follow-up troops are gathering at the intersection." The Chief of Staff of the Marin Division came to Xie Ruinan's side and said.

"Order Tiger Battalion, continue to strengthen the defense line, and pay attention to the enemy's artillery attack." Xie Ruinan gave an order, and then asked directly:

"Can you be sure that there are no civilians in that area?"

"Report to the division commander, according to intelligence information, all the civilians inside have been transferred away, and all of them are soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces."

Xie Ruinan took a deep breath and ordered: "Contact the army commander. I ask all the nearby artillery units to cover the 341 highland with high-density firepower. At the same time, I ask the air force for help and carpet bomb the entire highland."

The order and request were conveyed immediately, Xie Ruinan sat firmly on his command chair, looking at the middle of the command cabin, the 341 highland projection projected by the augmented reality.

At this time, the old city is around Height 341, and there are solid roadblocks on every street.

These roadblocks are all reinforced concrete structures, a full two meters high, like a container, blocking the entire road, with only a small gap on both sides for a person to pass through.

Such a huge obstacle is naturally a masterpiece of the Israeli military, and even tanks cannot push these huge obstacles away.

And all the roads leading to this old city are blocked by such obstacles, tanks can't move forward at all, and there are many such obstacles in the old city.

This kind of obstacle cannot be removed at all, and it is even extremely difficult to blow it up. After all, it is a super huge concrete pier.

The only way is to perforate and blast, but the amount of work is not small. It takes at least one or two hours to destroy such a huge concrete pier, and the Israeli army cannot let you destroy these concrete piers one by one.

If you want to get rid of these concrete piers, you will inevitably have to pay a certain amount of casualties, and if you don't get rid of these cement piers, the casualties you will pay will be even greater.

The purpose of Israel's creation of these obstacles is not to really block the offensive forces, but to use the offensive forces to cause more damage to the offensive forces when destroying these obstacles.

At this time, Division Ma Lin was building a front line of defense, and Xie Ruinan had to find a way to get rid of these annoying obstacles.

In his mind, he filtered through all the methods, but he was not satisfied with all of them.

The blasting of the engineering troops can get rid of these concrete barriers, but the possible casualties are not what he wants to see.

After thinking for a long time, Xie Ruinan took out his satellite phone and dialed a number with some hesitation.

The phone was connected soon, and Cai Ruichen's voice came from the opposite side: "Is it Xie Ruinan?"

"Report to the commander, Xie Ruinan hopes to get the assistance of the hoplites." Although Cai Ruichen was not in front of him, Xie Ruinan got up from his chair habitually and replied.

"Is it about the 341 Heights in Jerusalem?" Cai Ruichen continued to ask on the other end of the phone.

Xie Ruinan said very respectfully: "Report to the commander, there are a lot of obstacles in there, and the tank troops can't advance inside to fight at all. Therefore, if our troops want to advance, they need to blast. In order to reduce casualties, I hope the commander can agree to my request."

"I promise you, but I also hope you can understand that I promise you to reduce casualties as much as possible, so..."
