The head of the headquarters didn't know the changes in Zheng Quanli's old leader's heart, so he handed the binoculars to the guards on the side after speaking, and then went down the hill with his hands behind his back.

A few minutes later, the long convoy headed in the northeast direction, which was in the same direction as the Peregrine-1 rotorcraft assault just now, and it was obvious that the head of the headquarters was very curious about the next move of the airborne troops, and wanted to take a closer look at what tricks this unit, which was mainly composed of light infantry, could swallow a heavily armored mechanized unit in one gulp.

In fact, not only the head of the headquarters, but also a large number of high-ranking officers accompanying him were actually very curious.

It stands to reason that the airborne troops were able to fight to this extent beyond everyone's expectations, and it must be known that Zheng Quanli's strength was only five battalions when he was fully armed, and in addition to the fire support units composed of two mortar companies, two rocket artillery companies, and two anti-tank missile companies, the remaining units were air defense companies equipped with portable anti-aircraft missiles and a combat engineer company.

It's completely a light infantry configuration.

Because of this, if measured by normal circumstances, the Airborne Forces, which lack heavy weapons, can hold out for an hour if they go head-to-head with an imaginary enemy right-flank attack group of purely mechanized armored assault forces.

However, the airborne troops in front of them, except for the loss of about one battalion of troops in the air raid before entering the starting position, not only did not suffer losses in the battle, but caused considerable casualties to the right-wing attack group.

As for the use of gyroplanes to advance into the depth of the enemy's army, attacking the supply lines of the imaginary enemy troops was even more like a stroke of genius, which immediately made the ferocious right-wing attack group hold back, and it was delayed on the front line of Heights 186 for nearly four hours.

Such a result is a miracle for a light infantry, and if it is placed on other commanders, it is necessary to establish contact with friendly and neighboring forces, inform the intention of the right flank attack group, and at the same time contact the reserves in the rear, and strive to trap the main force of the imaginary enemy in the hilly area southwest of Yanshan.

In this way, the initial strategic objective of the attacking force has been achieved, and all that remains is to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the third echelon, and then try to counterattack and completely annihilate or defeat the imaginary enemy.

After all, in the face of the real Soviet army's steel torrent, the disadvantage of the domestic troops is really not too great, if it were not for this, when Sino-Soviet relations were at their most tense in the sixties, there was no need to dig air-raid shelters everywhere in the country, and greatly trained troops, because the Soviet Union really went south in a big way, and it was really difficult to withstand Lao Maozi's attack.

Because of this, holding back the heavily mechanized troops and launching a counteroffensive together with friendly neighbors or reserves became the keynote of the campaign of the unit commanders during this period.

However, the airborne troops in front of them did not have the will to do so, to be more precise, their campaign actions were more active, and there seemed to be an intention to swallow the heavy troops they were fighting against.

Therefore, in addition to contacting friendly neighbors and reservists, they did not rigidly wait for the reply of the brother troops, but began to use their existing forces to launch a surprise attack on the right-wing attack group in front of them, with a strong intention to take advantage of your illness.

After all, the right-wing attack group, which lacked logistics and lost ground air defense cover, was indeed overwhelmed by the airborne troops.

In less than half an hour, the flank was broken through three times by the Airborne Forces, losing twelve tanks, eleven armored vehicles, eight infantry combat vehicles and twenty-two other vehicles, and half a battalion of troops was lost.

The airborne troops' bite was not ruthless, but it was nothing more, after all, the senior officers who accompanied the head of the headquarters were experts in this area.

The weakness of the light infantry cannot be compensated for by a few clever sneak attacks, not to mention that the strategic intention of this flank assault of the airborne forces is too obvious, and the commander of the right-wing attack group should have a good time at this time, even if he was caught off guard before.

Even putting aside these subjective factors, the right-wing offensive forces played the role of the Soviet army, so how could it be that there were only ground forces? Are powerful air assault forces and strategic transport forces ornaments?

Sure enough, when the Airborne Forces were preparing to organize the fourth offensive, air support from the right flank attack group arrived, as a result of which the Airborne Forces were covered by overwhelming air strikes before the offensive began.

At the same time, the air transport forces of the imaginary enemy troops also arrived in the area where the right flank attack group was located, and pieces of ammunition, food, and fuel rained down, instantly replenishing the logistically poor right flank attack force.

The right-flank attack troops, which were immediately pressed to the ground and rubbed on the ground by the airborne troops for nearly an hour, launched a ferocious counterattack against the airborne troops like crazy bulls, under the cover of combat planes and large-caliber artillery.

At this moment, the weakness of the airborne troops, which lacked heavy weapons, was revealed, let alone the construction of a defensive line, and it was very difficult to even resist it, so they could only fight and move in the southwest direction.

The right-wing attacking force, on the other hand, was in hot pursuit, and seemed to be determined not to give up until the enemy was eaten.

At this time, the head of the headquarters, who had already arrived at a certain temporary airfield, unfolded the map in the temporary director's office, and the other two main directions were still anxious, but the situation between the airborne troops and the right-wing attacking troops was becoming clearer and clearer.

Just as he said on the previous hill, the airborne troops have too few rotorcraft and can only carry out small infiltration and sneak attacks, and cannot form a campaign assault force that affects the entire situation, so it will have little impact on the overall situation.

In this regard, many high-ranking military officers, including the head of the general headquarters, said in their hearts that it was absolutely impossible not to be disappointed; after all, everyone loved to watch a drama like defeating the strong with the weak and winning more with less; however, from ancient times to the present, unless they have absolute superiority, how can there be so many examples of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak.

Otherwise, it won't be called a drama, but a case.

As a result, the eyes of these army bosses began to move away from the southwest front, intentionally or unintentionally, and focused on the other two fronts, especially the southeast direction, and the attacking troops threw their reserves into it, withstanding the pincer offensive of the imaginary enemy troops, although the attacking troops suffered heavy losses, their combat effectiveness was still there, and they were cooperating with the reserves to launch a counterattack against the imaginary enemy.

At the same time, the attacking forces in the northeast have also gained a firm foothold and formed a standoff with the imaginary enemy forces in front of them, and the whole battlefield seems to be in a stalemate.

At this time, the attacking troops on the right flank suddenly stopped the pursuit of the airborne troops, made a big turn on the whole, and pounced on the flank and rear of the attacking troops along Route 56 thinking about the southeast.

"The big picture is decided!"

After watching the staff officers update the situation on the map, these four words came out of the hearts of many senior officers, because the heavily armed and mechanized right-wing attacking troops were still in a no-man's land at this time, and it only took a few hours to rush to the rear of the southeastern attacking troops and encircle and annihilate them.

Who can stop the imaginary enemy forces at this time?

No!

The head of the headquarters also seemed to feel that this exercise was over, and a pair of eyelids drooped again, as if he was just waiting for the final result, and at this time, the staff officer who reported the latest battle situation hurriedly walked over, and the whole audience was shocked with one sentence: "Report, the airborne troops launched a decapitation operation, and the command post of the attacking force on the right flank was attacked, including the commander, and the entire command team was killed. ”
