Chapter 090 Decisive Battle (2)
Chapter 090 Decisive Battle (II)
After the preparations were over, every soldier began to board the car quickly and quietly. This time they only carried individual weapons, but not howitzers, and the most of them were the mortars carried by the mortar team, which made people feel a little hasty. This was also discovered by the residents in the base.
Ding Rui and some representatives came over and saw the soldiers who were nervously boarding the car. They knew that the Tiger Regiment must have taken a major action again, but this time the matter was obviously very serious. This was the first time they saw Zheng Qi sending so many soldiers, and even the new recruits were sent out.
"Ding Rui, come here." Zheng Qi found the few of them and waved.
"You have also seen that this time our Tiger Regiment encountered a trouble, so they all went out." Zheng Qi pointed to the people on the field and said, "If we are defeated, once an enemy attacks, you all surrender."
Looking at Ding Rui's changeable expression, Zheng Qi smiled a few times, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, they are soldiers from South Wa State, and they will not do the slaughter of civilians. As long as you stay in the house and don't move around."
"Okay, that's all about the matter. Everything in the future is unknown. You can take it seriously." After Zheng Qi said that, he turned around and left. The plane over there was already waiting for him.
"Commander Zheng Qi, you will definitely succeed," Ding Rui said with the people around him. After spending more than two months with Zheng Qi and the others, the people in the Tiger Group are not as cruel as the outside world says. They are actually disciplined. Although some people like to laugh, none of them will violate them in all principles. They will support such people.
"Thank you for your good words" Zheng Qi smiled back and ran to a startup plane.
Zheng Qi picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Listen to everyone. Now we are heading towards the front-line transportation route of southern Wa State at full speed. We must grab it as soon as possible."
The convoy set off and the plane took off. Zheng Qi picked up the map and started studying it.
"This battle is very hasty, you have to think of many aspects." Ianti was finally no longer idle. "The factors of military combat effectiveness are multifaceted, and material and spirit are particularly important. Secondly, there are factors such as time, space, weather, etc., and the final combat effectiveness is divided by the commander's ability. Now it can be said to be a very good time to learn and practice."
"But I must win this time," Zheng Qi said firmly. He was under great pressure, like a mountain pressing on his body, and he even felt a little breathless. If his command failed this time, the more than two thousand people would be destroyed, and everything he had worked hard to build would turn into ashes. He had to be nervous.
"Relax, your ability is very outstanding, you have to believe in yourself. And I will remind you at critical moments." Ianti said. She also knew that Zheng Qi was under pressure now, almost a desperate bet. If you take a wrong step, it is very likely that there will be a deep abyss ahead.
"Well, come on," Zheng Qi encouraged himself, "There is no problem in other aspects. Time must be accurately captured. After all, Lin Xian's army has retreated and held back. If Lu Rong knew this news, once the order to stop would be issued, the team of 3,000 people would probably continue to move forward, and our crisis will still not be resolved."
"So you are now marching urgently and then attacking the position where Lin Xian's troops failed to capture just now?" Ianti said, "This idea is good. At least it will effectively restrain them and will not let them return immediately."
"And the weather problem..." Zheng Qi looked out the window. Today's weather was a little gloomy. There were a few dark clouds above his head. The air was a little hot, which seemed to be a sign of a heavy rain.
"If it rains, it will have an impact on the march. But this is also good. If we walk slowly, the paths they walk in the mountains will be slower. This will test the soldiers' willpower and endurance."
"Well, your advantage now is in terms of transportation. Your speed is more than ten times faster than them, which depends entirely on you occupying the main traffic route." Ianti said.
Zheng Qi took out the map, looked a few times, drew a place, and said, "There are mountains next to this road, and there are only some small roads five or six kilometers inward. Going west, the road that was bombed last time was not accessible at all. They could only move between these small roads. If they wanted to go out and capture the traffic road, there were only two directions."
"One is the beginning of the South Wa State, but their army has all entered the mountains and forests, which is impossible; the other is our doorstep. Now that we have all left, they just run forward and will not resist at all."
...
The convoy soon arrived at the area where they had attacked. There were many temporary barracks around them being destroyed, and the soldiers of the Independence Army were restoring construction. They were obviously not able to react to this group of sudden army, and Zheng Qi was already ready. As soon as the team stopped, they immediately launched a fierce suppression activity. Their number was much larger, and their weapons and equipment were not of the same level. This was almost a one-sided battle.
"Pilots, just circle, don't do anything, don't waste ammunition." Zheng Qi said on the radio. The battle below was one-sided. With armored vehicles leading the way, and with the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, the other party didn't even have time to take a gun to resist, and the dense bullets completely swept through their bodies.
"Listen to the troop truck, please slow down and don't squeeze forward, let the armored vehicle drive in front. You can keep a constant speed and back when necessary. Don't move around the soldiers on the vehicle and wait for my order."
Zheng Qi's order was very strange. Since he wanted to capture their territory and seize the main traffic routes, he had to launch a thunderous attack. Why did he let the transport convoy retreat? And the soldiers kept holding their troops?
He Ximei next to her was a little confused, but when she saw Zheng Qi looking like she was in her heart, she didn't ask much. She didn't want to add more pressure to him at this time. After all, failure means something, and no one knows better than her.
"You try to press the armored vehicles forward and block the bullets, but the attack should be slowed down. Don't be anxious, go step by step." Zheng Qi issued another strange order. They could rush over in one go and then destroy all the enemy's camps and supplies, but now they have slowed down.
...
Southern Wa State, Front Command of the Independence Army.
Lu Rong was monitoring the battle situation on the front line in real time. When the current camp was threatened, he knew that the other party wanted to cut off their supply route. He decisively asked the team of 3,000 people to return, wiped out all the people there, and kept the supply route.
He could have used the road outside to advance, but due to the last battle, Zheng Qi dropped countless shells, so he had to be careful. Moreover, the terrain there was very empty, which was a good place to bomb the shells. The other party also had armed helicopters, which could fully control the latest battle situation.
So when choosing, he avoided the road where the opponent would definitely defend closely, sent the team into the forest, and took a small path to attack the central part of Eastern Shan State, which is the sphere of influence of the Tiger Regiment. The resistance there was the weakest, and he was very confident to conquer it.
Why didn't there be too many protective supply lines? He also had his own ideas. As long as the army rushed to Eastern Shan State, then detoured from the rear and opened up the traffic route on the other end, their cannons would be no threat. At that time, the northbound troops of Southern Shan State could directly take that route, and no one could stop them.
Moreover, no matter how many members of the Tiger Regiment and the Allied Army had, they would not exceed 5,000. And they could not urgently mobilize so many people. After all, the information he received clearly stated that the two thousand people under Zheng Qi were all recruits and had no experience in fighting.
The commanders of both sides thought very comprehensively in this battle. This time there is no longer any luck or advantage. Both sides are standing on the same balance, and the father-in-law launched a decisive battle fairly and equally.
"Report to the commander, our supply camp on the front line was attacked by the army again. They were well-equipped and had a huge team. It seemed that most of them were dispatched." A soldier came in to report.
Lu Rong looked at the map and said that the supply camp on the front line was only ten kilometers away from the city closest to them. They dispatched so many people, in addition to competing for the main traffic route, they also threatened that city on the other hand. As long as they attacked that city, he now had almost no more troops to defend.
"Tell them to hold on to me, never retreat, try to hold on to the other party's footsteps." Lu Rong said, "In addition, ask the team of three thousand people to hurry up and march. We stab them in the back and see how they will attack."
"Understand, general"
"You have sent so many people to do it. Do you think it can really be captured?" Lu Rong looked at the map and said to himself, "More than 6,000 people, Hum, how do you block it?"
...
The front line of the transportation route of the southern Wa State, the attacking side, the Tiger Regiment and the affiliated legion.
The battle was particularly slow due to Zheng Qi's intentional delay. Although the battle on their side seemed very intense, many people slowly fired fire and attacked, or hid behind the armored vehicles, killed some people who controlled artillery or rockets, and then continued to move forward a few steps. This is their chief's strategy.
"Force them all back and use artillery fire to cover all the observation points at high places to prevent them from observing our attack formation." Zheng Qi gave another order. Two helicopters raised their fuselage, and the 23mm air cannon fired a burst of fire at the hillside next to them. The infantry on the ground set up mortars, and several shells passed, and all the places where they could communicate on the mountain were destroyed.
"Now the enemy is shooting in front, and we can't see the movements of our rear team at all." Ianti finished a scan and soon came up with the result.
"Yes," Zheng Qi nodded, but praised Ianti's scan. If it weren't for the lack of energy and she kept scanning, the information she obtained would be the most accurate.
"Hu Yi, you take your men to take over the Tiger Regiment and replace the people on the armored vehicles, but be careful not to make too many moves, giving the enemy a look of your offensive still fierce." Zheng Qi gave another strange order.
The team led by Hu Yi ran to the front line. Since everyone was wearing the same military uniform, the replacement operation went smoothly, and the team had not changed. They were still snatching a small position with the other party, and they still didn't distinguish between you and me. The enemy seemed to have been injected with hormones, and they were holding on without taking a step back. They were completely stalemate here.
"Now, let me know the troops in the rear. You can climb onto the troop transport truck immediately. Now retreat quickly." Zheng Qi said, "Don't ask why, if you find the car, climb up and we will retreat."
"Hu Yi, you guys are here to support me, don't attack, just defend"...
