Chapter 388 Confrontation and Raid
According to Song Yan's plan, the battle will never start in Pagang City. It was built with great difficulty. If a war starts, everything will be ruined.
The battlefield was chosen more than 30 kilometers away from Pagang. This place has many mountains, dense forests, and sparsely populated areas. It is not far from the Yang family, so it is easy to obtain supplies.
The battle started as scheduled one day later. Although the terrain was good, the opponent was obviously prepared and failed to form an effective ambush. After the opponent's attack was blocked once, they also changed their tactics and no longer blindly advanced.
The terrain of this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Both sides unanimously adopted the tactics of forming positions based on the terrain and began the confrontation.
The two sides also used tanks to set up defensive positions on the mountain road as if they were tacit. They did not use tanks to charge. There were many mountains and forests in this place, so it was really impossible to charge.
Zhu Xuefeng was summoning civil affairs officials and asking Wu Qianqian for guidance to prepare for the establishment of an autonomous region bank, when he received the battlefield news from Xia Gong.
"Qianqian, you are here to host, Mayor Yang, you are here to coordinate, I will go out for a while."
It was another conference room, Song Yan lowered his head in shame , did not dare to face Zhu Xuefeng, the tactics were decided by them, but now they were in a stalemate, and neither side could open the situation.
"Chief, this team looks uneven, but it is experienced and has rich jungle combat experience. We have underestimated the enemy."
Song Yan admitted his mistake first. He had easily ambushed the hundreds of people at that time and solved the devastating ones, but this time the ones who came were much more cunning.
"Tell me, what's going on now."
Song Yan organized his language and reported carefully.
"Now we are facing each other in a mountain range 30 kilometers away. The battle line is about four to five kilometers away. Both sides have organized sneak attacks, but they have failed. This area is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They cannot defeat us. They couldn't advance either. Both sides used artillery fire to cover it, but the effect was very poor. The dense woods greatly reduced the power of the artillery fire."
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, it was a waste, and both sides can't take it easy. If you retreat, you will be easily chased and beaten.
"The situation should be favorable to us now. If we continue to use it like this, they can't use us up. Their supply line is much longer than ours, and they probably didn't expect that it would be a tug of war. Supply is impossible. "Carrying too much."
"The chief is right. The Yang family closest to here has already brought people with guns to the battlefield, and has also organized young women to send us supplies. The enemy probably didn't bring too much." If you supply more supplies and starve them for a few days, they might withdraw."
Song Yan and Zhou Dayong nodded, agreeing with Li Xiaojun's judgment, but Zhu Xuefeng frowned and continued.
“What’s worth noting now is our ammunition. We don’t know how much they have in reserve, but now that more than two thousand people are fighting together, our inventory can’t last long.”
“ We have reminded the combat personnel to avoid waste. This strength should be able to last for ten days.”
Li Xiaojun added on the side, Zhou Dayong seemed to have thought of something, but hesitated and did not speak.
"Dayong, if you have any ideas, just say it. We need to brainstorm here. Let's talk openly and honestly without any worries."
Zhou Dayong looked serious, "Chief, we can't be so passive and defensive. They have a convoy, and if they really bring in supplies and remain in a stalemate with us for another ten days, even if they want to run away, we won't be able to pursue them since we have no ammunition."
"Besides, we can't finish it in one battle. If all the ammunition is used up, then won’t all our weapons become fire sticks? Therefore, we must take the initiative to break the deadlock and fight quickly.”
“What do you think about how to fight quickly? . ”
“I have two ideas, but the chief has to take action personally.”
Everyone knows that this is to use helicopters, and the other party does not have air power. This is the advantage of the autonomous region. .
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, looked at Zhou Dayong, and encouraged. "Go on."
"Chief, in this battle, we also found that it was no accident that the other party was able to defeat the coalition's encirclement and suppression. There are still two brushes. A frontal assault is difficult, especially when their tanks are more powerful than each other. There are still many of us, and there is nothing we can do to guard the intersection. The mountain road is also difficult to defend and difficult to cross. Now the places leading to the south are blocked by them. "
"So our first plan is. Send out helicopters, use missiles to directly destroy the tanks, then use tanks and armored vehicles to tear open the holes, and directly surround them on the mountain. We don’t even need to attack the mountain, and the battle is basically won.”
The armed helicopter was equipped with anti-tank missiles. Everyone knew this. Zhu Xuefeng did not express his position. He just looked at Zhou Dayong and gestured to continue.
Anti-tank missiles were still a rarity at this time and were not available in China. Even the current J-6 relied on machine guns and heavy machine guns for air combat. Besides, Zhu Xuefeng didn’t have many at hand, so he was prepared to fight with them. Domestic replacement of some conventional equipment.
Seeing that the chief did not express support, Zhou Dayong continued.
“For pure defense, we don’t need so many people at all now. We can transport them in multiple times, go around behind them, sneak attack on the sand, attack on supplies, or launch a sneak attack directly behind them, you can choose There are more tactics. "
Zhu Xuefeng nodded. It is absolutely impossible for the armed helicopter to directly participate in the battle. The emblems on the plane have not been cleared yet. As long as one escapes, the armed helicopter will be solved. Exposed, when the time comes, the bald eagle who wakes up will take crazy revenge.
Now the bald eagle has been thought to have been attacked by Fuso's Red Army many times. The whole world is looking for trouble for the Red Army, causing trouble in Fuso and Hokkaido, which is the main activity area of the Red Army.
The second plan is preferable, and it is exactly in line with my thoughts at the time. It can be done by sneak attack on Jiesha, ambushing supplies, and then sneak attack on a key battlefield and defeating them one by one.
“What do you mean?”
Zhu Xuefeng turned his head and looked at Song Yan and Li Xiaojun. Now Zhou Xingguo was left as the top commander on the front line, and all three of them were here.
"If the chief personally participates in the war, I think it is not appropriate to attack directly. You cannot take this risk. The second method is more flexible and less difficult to implement. We can mobilize elites and make achievements with one blow, which is exactly what you need. The elite assault team that has been prepared has completed training, and this time we can let them try their skills.”
Li Xiaojun also nodded, this is the safest way. Zhu Xuefeng's safety is the first concern for the two of them.
"Chief, I can barely fly it. How about I fly it? I just control the helicopter for regular flight. It should be okay." In the past few days, Li Xiaojun has been studying helicopter driving when he has time. He got started quickly, but he didn't know how to use the weapons yet. He couldn't understand the equipment of those airborne missiles. These were not the self-seeking guided missiles of later generations. Many of them were constantly revised based on signals from the aircraft. The flight trajectory of the missile, as you can tell from the name, is TV guidance.
"The three of you are in agreement, and I agree. Let's make a plan now, and then select the people. If time permits, we will work on all three aspects..."
Before dark, the two helicopters quickly took off, bypassing the battlefield and heading directly to the enemy's rear. Li Xiaojun was driving an AH-1 armed helicopter, carrying seven people, and Zhu Xuefeng was driving an HR-5 transport helicopter, carrying ten people. There are six people, and there is actually a larger Chinook, but it’s a pity that Zhu Xuefeng can’t drive.
No one questioned that the chief had conjured a larger helicopter out of thin air. It was all military secrets when asked, but it saved Zhu Xuefeng a lot of words.
After a lot of trouble, we finally sent more than 200 people over in multiple batches, including nearly 30 key members. According to the plan, we should first ambush the supply convoy, then assault Jiesha, and leave the rest on the front line. These are the turtles in the urn.
The next thing was easy. After waiting for nearly a day, I intercepted the supply convoy rushing to Jiesha, and then disguised myself and raided Jiesha. Jiesha City had no defense at all, and the defense force was also very weak. Coupled with the disguise of a supply convoy, the city's defense forces were cleared without any effort.
"Senior brother, it's still so exciting. How about I stay here and serve as a soldier? I think Feng Qiumei can lead a team of female soldiers, and I can definitely do it too."
Feng Qiumei is a Song Dynasty soldier. Yan's sister-in-law was a female militia captain before she came here. She has certain military qualities, which Liang Yan definitely does not have.
"Yanzi, you want to join the army. I have no objection. It's very difficult for you to lead troops. I have been practicing this before, and it is different from what I have practiced. I would rather suggest that I am short of security and intelligence teams. If you want to lead troops, , you can bring one to practice martial arts, get information, and guard special people and special places."
Liang Yan lost interest for a moment, "You want me to teach people again and teach them to be bodyguards. This practice is not something that only takes one or two years. To develop a good skill, don’t even think about it in ten or eight years. I’d better go back and do this job whoever wants to do it.”
"Chief, the inventory of the seizures has been completed. I would like to ask for instructions on the next battle plan."
Looking at the rich seizures, there are too many, and this one cannot be taken away, Zhu Xuefeng said to Li Xiaojun on the side.
"As planned, dozens of people will be left on guard. Let's take these medicines and go back to treat the wounded. Since they already know that their lair is being taken away, they will definitely lose their composure and will immediately flee. We have to help stop them. These defeated troops will be commanded by you next.”
When Jiesha City was attacked, Quan Zhilong in front received a distress telegram from Jiesha City. At this time, the front line was also in chaos and fell into a confrontation. , without continuous supplies, this battle would be impossible to fight. Quan Zhilong originally wanted to sneak away with his troops and escape first, but unfortunately the news could not be concealed at all.
The news that the headquarters quietly retreated spread quickly in various positions. The various departments that were originally not determined to fight quickly turned the confrontation into a large-scale rout.
"Commander Song, the enemy has escaped!"
Song Yan had already known from the telegram that the raid had been successful, but he did not expect that the opponent did not retreat in a rhythmic manner, but directly turned into a Escape, of course, this opportunity will not be missed.
“Notify all departments to blow the charge horn!”
The nightmare-like charge horn sounded along the battle line that stretched for several kilometers. When many defeated troops heard the horn sound, they knelt on their knees without thinking and raised their weapons with both hands. They were really afraid of being beaten before, as long as this horn sounded. Ring, your side must have been defeated. Surrendering is the best option. Anyone who blows this trumpet will surrender his gun and not kill, so as to save his life.
Less than 500 people abandoned their helmets and fled towards Jiesha. Unfortunately, they encountered a blocker. There were blockers in front and pursuers behind. Except for a few who escaped over the mountains and ridges, this team Actually, the entire army was wiped out.
Under the escort of his personal guards, Quan Zhilong also climbed to the top of the mountain. He looked at the rolling gunfire and the continuous shouts of killing in the distance, and then looked at the few people around him.
“Who can tell me how they got behind us? Did they set up an ambush here early, waiting for us to confront the front, and then launch an attack?”
"Sir, what should we do now? Should we retreat to Mandele and go to Commander Li?"
Quan Zhilong was very unwilling. He didn't even see the shadow of Pagang. If the army was wiped out, we should not have withdrawn at that time. It is not impossible to win in a desperate fight. The opponent's numbers and firepower are not stronger than ours. That's wrong.
"I'm not going. I don't have a team. How can I stand up after going? Besides, for such a big loss, I have to find a scapegoat. I can't go back, and I can't go to the island. Let's gather the stragglers. Find a place outside to make a comeback. "
When the team came to Jiesha City again, it happened to be New Year's Eve. This time it was really unfortunate that the troops could only celebrate the New Year in Jiesha, and there were too many things to arrange.
"Commander Song, we must quickly arrange defenses here to prevent Mandele's forces from launching an attack after getting the information. Didn't the prisoner say that Mandele and the others will be handed over after the year? It seems that they will directly fight with Mandele in the future. ZF troops confront each other. "
"We must control the situation carefully and try not to actively stir up trouble to avoid attracting the attention of international forces, but if we are really attacked, we must fight back unswervingly."
"Yes, we have to hurry up and contact Yang Maosheng. They need to take over the civil affairs work here. This city is much bigger than Pagang, so it is difficult to handle."
Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile, " The Yang family also has a lot of businesses here. With their help, it should be settled quickly. If you can take care of Pagang, this place will not be difficult for you. "
I was picked up urgently on the second day of the new year. Civil affairs personnel worked together with the Yang family, and the city barely returned to normal functions, with a bit of a festive atmosphere.
In the conference room, Zhu Xuefeng was organizing a summary and work arrangement meeting and was speaking. Lin Na and others were honored to listen.
“This small-scale war shows that we are not in an era of peace and tranquility. Now, we will face the threat of two military forces in the south. Therefore, we must have the means to protect ourselves. Ability, Commander Song, this task is entrusted to you. The team must be expanded, training and political and ideological education must be strengthened, and combat effectiveness must be formed as soon as possible.”
“Yes, we must complete the task!”
“Secondly. Since the autonomous region has expanded to this point, the civil affairs work must keep up. Electricity, banking, transportation, communications, hospitals, and schools must keep up. Communication with the country must be strengthened. Yang Maosheng, as the first person in charge of the autonomous region’s civil affairs , this task is entrusted to you, there will be many negotiations after the year, you must prepare early."
"Please rest assured, leader, I will do my best to complete the task."
Yang Maosheng. The burden is heavy, but he is very willing to implement Zhu Xuefeng's wishes, and he is also very willing to see this land shine.
“One last reminder, now we should be exposed to the eyes of the southern forces. It will be very difficult to use the southern ports to carry out trade. This also needs to be negotiated with the south. We promise not to take the initiative to provoke. Look. Can we agree on mutual non-aggression first?”
