Chapter 456 Changes in the situation
Zong Youzhi didn’t finish a sentence, spit out a lot of blood foam from his mouth, and fell into coma again. Zhu Xuefeng checked carefully and found that it was okay. This kid has extremely strong vitality and is considered lucky. He actually There were no vital injuries, his right leg was broken, and a bullet in the chest pierced the lungs. His life could be saved, but his body must have been crippled, and his lungs were injured, which will have sequelae for the rest of his life.
When they heard that it was the chief in front of them, several people were also shocked. The chief is fighting alone?
Zhu Xuefeng had no time to explain and pointed to the front, "You leave the walkie-talkies and go back and report now. Just say that I will take Captain Zong to heal his wounds. If you need anything, please use the walkie-talkie to contact me and leave quickly!"
These people should all be new recruits. After hesitating for a while, they hurriedly left under Zhu Xuefeng's repeated urging. Zhu Xuefeng took the unconscious Zong Youzhi into the space for treatment. He took them here to live a good life. He was injured and he didn't. Seeing that he couldn't control it, seeing that he couldn't treat it, Zhu Xuefeng didn't have such a cruel heart.
Then he shot away the enemy commander-in-chief in front of the jeep, not even sparing the little guy on the side. After a while, only eight corpses were left in the entire command scene. The messengers were dumbfounded.
Battalion Commander Xiao on the top of the mountain also discovered the accident here. The battlefield was once again defeated. Without the commander-in-chief, morale dropped, and it was impossible to organize an attack in a short time.
Zhu Xuefeng ignored them and quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests in the direction in which the scouts returned, towards the direction of the shelling just now.
After being bombarded, I almost lost my life. I only managed to deal with the commander, so I was only halfway out of my words. This artillery group must be killed, otherwise the defense will be too passive. Besides, Zong Youzhi also needs to disappear reasonably. Heaven heals.
In the eyes of the scouts, the tightly guarded blockade could not stop Zhu Xuefeng at all. He searched for several kilometers along the trajectory of the artillery shells, and found an artillery position in a mountain col. There were more than 40 cannons. , there is a military camp not far from the artillery position.
The artillery position was very tightly defended, with groups of patrols constantly shuttling back and forth. In broad daylight, there was no chance to go in and collect, so Zhu Xuefeng gave up the idea. I learned a lesson during the day. Even if you have space, you are not invincible on the battlefield. Who knows where a stray bullet can kill you.
Observe the range on the top of the mountain, calculate the coordinates, and directly turn on the walkie-talkie to call...
The artillery position received a dense rain of artillery. Soon, the continuous explosion of artillery shells made the entire artillery The position was in ruins.
"Next target, coordinates..."
Guided the artillery to clean the barracks again. Unfortunately, most of the soldiers ran out during the first shelling, but the weapons, equipment and vehicles were still there. , dense artillery fire once again covered the valley, and the constant explosions in the military camp meant that this team, even if they survived, could no longer pose a threat.
A month of special training equipped Zhu Xuefeng with basic reconnaissance skills. Unexpectedly, they came in handy here. Thanks to Lao Kong’s persistence, Zhu Xuefeng turned on the walkie-talkie again and called the 122nd Battalion.
"Battle Commander Xiao, don't worry. I will return to Jiesha City right away. I have to treat Comrade Zong Youzhi quickly. He has just received emergency treatment and is in good condition. Don't worry, there won't be any accidents. What's the matter? Queen of Heaven, I will give you a lively platoon leader.”
“Chief, it’s hard for us to do this. You left without saying a word. Commander Song scolded me just now...” ”
Zhu Xuefeng was embarrassed to face the two grassroots commanders, so he turned off the walkie-talkie with a smile and went directly back to Jiesha City over the mountains and ridges.
Zhu Xuefeng's injury and solo action made the military leaders very wary, but the commander's single-handed guidance of the artillery to destroy the enemy's artillery positions greatly inspired the soldiers on the front line, especially the commander's marksmanship. The propaganda of the 122nd Battalion became so popular after the war.
However, Zhu Xuefeng could not accept this honor and had no choice but to accept the criticism from Song Yan and Zhou Xingguo. Unfortunately, he lost the opportunity to fight on the front line.
"Chief, this is war. Your personal heroism may turn a small victory into an unbearable burden for the autonomous region. I know you are very skilled, but for the sake of the autonomous region, you must promise us, I will never participate in front-line battles again."
Facing the furious Song Yan and the admiring Zhou Xingguo, Zhu Xuefeng could only agree.
"Okay, I don't want to participate, I don't want to participate, Xingguo, I'll give you back the gun. This gun has good long-range accuracy, so you have to keep it."
"Your injury doesn't matter, health worker. I'll be there soon, and I'll disinfect and treat you." Song Yan was still worried about whether the chief's injury might become infected in the hot weather.
"No need, everything has been dealt with. You still don't know my level of healing? Zongyou sent me to the rescue and will bring me back in a few days."
Song Yan nodded silently, Zong Youzhi followed him here last year. This time, in order to find out the enemy's artillery positions, he personally led a few recruits and almost lost his life. The recruits were still far from good.
"By the way, Chief, Zhou Dayong (Zhou Laoba) from the west sent a telegram. The two female comrades successfully completed the negotiation task. Five of the thirteen tribes expressed their submission, and six One of them expressed their acceptance of the agreement that we can coexist peacefully, trade with each other and help build roads, and the other two also expressed their intention to stay out of the matter and not initiate attacks, which can be regarded as non-aggression. The team is now heading back and is expected to arrive in Pagang in three days."
“Oh, I didn’t expect that what Lao Yang and Li Xiaojun failed to accomplish was accomplished by two lesbians, okay.”
Zhu Xuefeng was overjoyed. The thirteen tribes were stuck in Along the way to the west, they were closely colluding with each other, and there seemed to be no willingness to communicate with Pagang. Unexpectedly, Lin Na and the two really opened up the situation.
"Yes, now it's good. We can now move more than a hundred kilometers to the west, and we are not far from the sea. Now it seems that there is hope for reaching the sea by the end of this year, but it is much earlier than expected."< br>
“It seems that we can continue to open up the west side without waiting for the war here to end. The enemy’s attack here is blocked. If Xiaojun’s follow-up plan succeeds, this unit will not pose a threat to Jiesha. "
Zhu Xuefeng saw with his own eyes that the opponent's combat effectiveness was indeed not as good as that of the defeated army. There was a considerable gap in terms of tactics and fighting will. That is to say, with a larger number of people, there should be no resistance against Jiesha City's defense. What method.
The other party didn’t think so. The troops in Mogok sent the news back to Mandela. Mandela was bound to eliminate this inexplicable armed force. But just as they began to mobilize troops and generals to support the front line, the airport was attacked In a fatal blow, six fighter planes that were the key to victory were bombed, two of the three helicopters were bombed, and the last one was driven away by the opponent in a swagger. The air force that came to fight was considered to have completely lost its combat effectiveness.
"Chief of Staff, what should we do now?"
"We can only form a siege as soon as possible. The other party was able to sneak into Mandele to destroy the airport. It seems that they were prepared for it and attacked from the front. Without opening up the situation, the key lies in the terrain. We must break through with force and then encircle it as soon as possible. As long as the encirclement is formed, the battle will be certain. Unfortunately, Jiesha City was originally supposed to be bombed, but it seems that we can only rely on artillery."
General. The commander agreed with the chief of staff's analysis that the air force was very important, but victory could be achieved without the air force. The enemy also did not have an air force. The air force was not something that the monkeys in the northern mountains could afford. "We still have more than thirty tanks, and the artillery of the Second Division is still there. If we surround Jiesha and bombard him for a few days, the enemy will definitely collapse."
The deputy to the commander-in-chief couldn't bear it. Zhu stood up. He had experienced the failure of the last encirclement and suppression of Li Mi's troops, and was a little wary of this armed force that could defeat Li Mi's troops.
"But we have artillery, and so does the enemy. How could the artillery of the First Division be defeated? The enemy's artillery fire is not weaker than ours. The only advantage is the air force. The enemy does not have an air force, and now there is no such advantage. Well, as for tanks, they are a joke in the mountains and forests in the north, unless the battlefield is placed on the plains.”
"So, I suggest using defense as offense. The enemy has absolutely no fighting power to capture Mogok. As long as we block their trade routes, without money and new weapons, the combat effectiveness of these armed forces will only become weaker and weaker. We must eliminate them when the time comes. It’s easy for them.”
Faced with the deputy’s reminder, the commander-in-chief was very dissatisfied. A small setback would greatly magnify the enemy’s capabilities. Is this still the ZF army? These people have lost their fighting spirit and are not worthy. As a soldier, no wonder the general was dissatisfied with them and asked himself to take command.
This battle has only been fought for a few days, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is basically intact (except for the air force). The general has given a fatal order to take back Jiesha and push northward to eliminate this force that appeared from nowhere. The incoming armed forces rushed back to the mountains, and a large number of fertile fields near Jiesha must be recovered.
"Let the front suspend the attack and defend on the spot. The second division will move out overnight to support Mogok. The Mogok defenders rush to the front line to support the front line and prevent the opponent from sneak attacks. After the support is in place, bombard the stronghold and complete it as soon as possible. "The siege of Jiesha"
The commander-in-chief was unwilling to give up and decided to attack with all his strength. The opponent's defenders only had 3,000 troops in total. He could still take advantage of several times his own strength without the support of the air force. Down each other.
"Commander, the enemy's sabotage team has not been found yet. If they are still staying in Mandele to do sabotage, we have to guard against this."
Seeing that the commander-in-chief insisted on going his own way, The deputy could only obey, but still reminded.
"These people must be eradicated! You stay and organize a search!"
Seeing that the commander-in-chief was very dissatisfied, the deputy could only remind him in a low voice, "If the other party can drive away the helicopter, it means there is a pilot. , How can a small force have a pilot? We may not know the details of the enemy at all."
Faced with repeated questions from his deputy, the commander-in-chief was very dissatisfied, "That's enough, let's just decide, you will stay and continue the search. , I will take people to Mogok. This time I will take personal command. I can't even take down a small mountain. It's embarrassing. As for Deputy Commander Su, what you are worried about is all nonsense. As for that place in the north, it can still be done. There is an air force? Even if they sell three generations of their ancestors, they still can’t get enough money for a plane.”
Without the commander-in-chief Mandele, 80% of the army had also disappeared. When Deputy Commander Su led a team to survey the damage at the military camp outside Mandele City.
The sky-high flames in the city made the people in Mandelezhao panic at night. Deputy Commander Su had a headache. This group of people were so elusive that it was hard to guard against them.
"Curfew, close the city! Search for me!"
The commander-in-chief, who had been traveling hard all the way, finally led the team to Mogok City as he wished. Unfortunately, it was still too late. Mogok City was in After receiving the order to leave the city, they left the city in a mighty manner. However, just a few hours after the team left, an armed group of more than 20 people entered the city, wreaked havoc and then left. The defensive troops who hurriedly gathered pursued them all the way. He left the city and didn't come back for more than half a day. But more than two hours ago, intensive gunshots rang out in the mountains and forests to the northwest.
We already knew from the telegram that after he led the team away, Mandele was attacked three times in a row. It was not until Deputy Commander Su implemented a city closure and curfew that there was no movement. Unexpectedly, Mogok, which was two days away, Also attacked a few hours ago.
“Who can tell me how many people these northern monkeys who love to crawl into mountains and climb trees have sent to carry out sabotage? Inform the front line to be careful of small groups of armed sneak attacks, and strengthen alerts and patrols.”
Zhu Xuefeng was not aware of the changes on the front line. After receiving the news that Li Xiaojun had successfully raided Mandele's airport and confirmed that he could no longer go to the battlefield, he had no choice but to return to Pagang to meet Lin Na and his party.
Looking at Xia Yuhong, whose face was filled with joy and joy. "Tell me quickly, how did you two do it? You two have made great achievements this time. If you rely on troops to conquer, it will conservatively estimate that it will take at least half a year. With the same conditions, why didn't Li Xiaojun and the others negotiate? You two will negotiate Is it done?"
Lin Na smiled and said, "There is no trick. People see Li Xiaojun and the others as murderous, and they say it doesn't look like a negotiation, but more like a threat. We are both women, so they don't have to be defensive. We are willing to communicate, and the conditions we offer are not bad and are beneficial to them. They have no reason to refuse, and they are not stupid."
Seeing the smile on Lin Na's lips, Zhu Xuefeng knew that there must be something hidden.
"Xiao Hong, tell me, I don't believe in honey traps. I'm just worried that they will detain you two and negotiate terms with us."
"They really thought so at the beginning. Fortunately, you The captain of the guard, Xia Gong, and your senior brother Bai, immediately restrained the one who was leading the trouble. Haha, sister Na, I'm sorry, I spilled the beans."
It turns out that the negotiation was not at all like what Lin Na said. It was so easy. If Yanzi hadn't begged Senior Brother Bai to go with him, something big might have happened. Senior Brother Bai's superb kung fu was regarded as a miracle in the eyes of these mountain people.
When he once again cured a tribal leader who had been suffering from a chronic illness for many years, he became even more deified.
Coupled with the report of the spies who hurried back to report that there was a heavily armed group of hundreds of people outside the mountain, more than a dozen tribes sat down to negotiate again.
The other party admires the medical skills here. The conditions in the mountains and forests are harsh and the infant mortality rate remains high. Senior Brother Bai promised that their medical hall in Pagang can provide help. The two then said that when the highway is opened, this Medical halls and health clinics can be set up on the border. After development, hospitals and schools can also be opened as a priority. Before that, these tribes can take cars to Pagang for medical treatment...
“It’s just a matter of a few terms?” Zhu Xuefeng couldn’t believe it.
"That can be wrong. You didn't see it live. Brother Bai was so good at acupuncture that he made the head man vomit a lot of black blood in more than half an hour, and his long-standing illness was cured. His face turned rosy just looking at it, it was amazing.”
“Yes, they talked a lot. Your senior brother Bai also said that he would open a medical hall here to collect medicinal herbs. Those tribes really have a lot of medicinal herbs. Your senior brother said that the harvest will be long-term in the future, and these tribes will have more work, of course they will be happy."
"Also, there are several tribes here that raise a lot of elephants, and they are willing to help. Chopping wood for canned meat…”
