Chapter 314: The Sword Unsheathed (11)
The enemy's warships quickly sailed to the waters near Mushroom Island, and when they saw through their binoculars that our warships were waiting in the waters off Mushroom Island, they slowed down.
Obviously, they are observing the number of warships and personnel of our army. I want to see how strong our army is!
When the enemy commanders saw that the number of warships of our army was only six, and they were all old destroyers, they were a little presumptuous.
So the enemy commander began to ask their warships to just move forward, and as they went, they began to fire at our warships!
The enemy has already begun to fire artillery on our troops, so our warships cannot be idle!
However, our warships are no match for those advanced warships of others, and they quickly destroyed three of them!
And the remaining three warships had to quickly evacuate the waters of Mushroom Island.
Yan Mingcheng saw that in this battle, his warships had destroyed three of the enemy, and he was a little worried.
"What should I do, the enemy seems to be fierce! Our warships have already destroyed three of them!"
Yan Mingcheng looked at such a record, which made him a little breathless.
"Lao Yan! Don't worry! If we don't reimburse the three warships, will the enemy boldly enter our ambush circle! This is the price that must be paid to lure the enemy into depth!"
Zhao Zhongyao knew that if he wanted to attract the enemy into his encirclement, he had to let the enemy see that his equipment was indeed not very good, and that it was not at all the opponent of their advanced equipment, so that the enemy would unscrupulously march towards the mushroom knife! Only by introducing the enemy to the mushroom island could he destroy them all!
"Damn, what you said is light, so what should we do next! The enemy has already begun to march on our Mushroom Island! What are we going to do against others! What are we going to do with those ordinary cannons on our Mushroom Island!"
Yan Mingcheng saw through the binoculars that the enemy's warships were constantly approaching their mushroom island. He's getting more and more worried!
"Of course, we can defeat them with those ordinary cannons. Zhao Zhongyao seemed to be confident! He didn't feel nervous at all.
"What do you say! Other people's warships will not run to Mushroom Island, so how can we hit other people's warships! Even if our tank guns and ordinary artillery hit the enemy's warships, they may not be able to sink other people's warships!"
Yan Mingcheng still felt that they might be in trouble now, and with their equipment, it seemed impossible to beat the enemy!
"You don't have to worry, everything is up to me. Next, you drive the first battalion, the second battalion and some tank vehicles from under the fortifications of the position. Then put it in some obvious places, all the personnel came out of the fortifications, and then evacuated and hidden. ”
Zhao Zhongyao seems to have thought of some plans a long time ago, but he hasn't told Yan Mingcheng in detail yet!
"Zhongyao, what are you doing again! Driving the tank out of the fortifications, isn't that clearly letting the enemy know where our position is!" When Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he was a little incomprehensible.
"I told you to drive a handful of tanks and armored vehicles out of the fortifications and deliberately expose them at a distance from the position. Doesn't this give the enemy a false impression! As long as they see tanks and armored vehicles parked in that place, they will think that it is a position! In this way, even if they bombard us with ships and guns, we can still preserve our strength!"
Although Zhao Zhongyao is only a military expert. But he was also a military fan during his lifetime, and he also read a lot of various military books and novels of military genres. I also know a lot about the deeds of ancient military strategists.
He knew how an army leader who led his troops to fight a war could command his troops to win a war. The most important point is to learn to confuse the opponent and give the enemy a false impression. I feel that my strength is not as good as theirs, so that I can hit the enemy by surprise!
This kind of military strategic thinking should be called the strategic thinking of 'showing weakness.' When your own strength is not weak, and then give the enemy the illusion that you are 'weak'. In this way, the enemy will naturally get carried away.
When the enemy gradually relaxes their vigilance, that is, when they are paralyzed, this is the best time to suddenly counterattack the enemy and defeat the enemy quickly.
Zhao Zhongyao had already thought of such a clever strategy, but he didn't tell Yan Mingcheng in detail.
Now that the enemy is menacing, Zhao Zhongyao naturally doesn't have time to explain his strategy in detail to Yan Mingcheng, he just wants to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, and then tell Yan Mingcheng in detail about the strategy he used just now!
"Well, it sounds reasonable, I don't know what the outcome will be! Okay, I'll go and order the troops to do what you say. ”
Yan Mingcheng listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words and felt that there was some truth, so he hurriedly notified the commander of the first and second battalions, as well as the commanders of some other artillery battalions, by radio, and asked them to redeploy personnel and equipment according to Zhao Zhongyao's ideas.
When everything was almost ready, the enemy's warship had already sailed into the place where our warship had just stopped, and it was already very close to the sea shore of Mushroom Island.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao ordered all the personnel stationed on Mushroom Island to evacuate and hide around the entire position.
Due to the number of people in this exercise, there are more than 20,000 people! With so many people, it is completely possible to surround the artillery positions of the entire exercise!
Now more than 20,000 fighters are lurking in the grass around the position. They lay motionless in the grass. To outsiders, there is a calm among these bushes and grasses, as if there is no one! In fact, among these bushes and grasses, there are thousands of troops lurking!
After Zhao Zhongyao deployed everything, he and Yan Mingcheng came to a hidden hillside, from this small hill, they could see not only the enemy's warships on the sea east of Mushroom Island, but also the situation of their own army on Mushroom Island.
The enemy drove the warship to a very close place to Mushroom Island. Since they did not know the situation on the island, they still did not dare to attack rashly.
Just now, although they defeated six warships of our army, they still don't know about the situation of our army! They don't know how many defenders there are on this mushroom island!
So. Now the commander of the enemy first sent a small reconnaissance plane, took off from the warship, and then flew over Mushroom Island!
It seems that the enemy wants to see the military deployment of our troops on Mushroom Island.
After Yan Mingcheng saw the enemy's reconnaissance plane taking off from the warship, he said to Zhao Zhongyao: "Do you want to use antiaircraft guns to shoot down this plane? Our armored division also has a few antiaircraft guns! Although it cannot beat the very high fighters and those high-altitude reconnaissance planes." But this kind of small reconnaissance plane should be able to shoot it down!"
Zhao Zhongyao glanced up at the enemy's small reconnaissance plane, then looked back at Yan Mingcheng and said, "You don't need to fight it, just let it reconnoitre." Don't we just want to show them what we're capable of? You don't scout for others. How can people know that our strength is not very good! Only when they show it to others will they be confident and bold to attack us!"
Zhao Zhongyao felt that although this reconnaissance plane was angry, it could not hit him, so he had to be given a chance to reconnoitre, so that the enemy would be relieved to boldly attack Mushroom Island!
"Zhongyao, you mean that the enemy is about to disembark from the warship. And then launch an attack on our mushroom island!"
Yan Mingcheng felt that if the enemy felt that there were no defenders on Mushroom Island after reconnaissance, then they would not directly abandon the ship and land on the island.
"I see. No, although they didn't find out where our large forces were, did they see some tanks and armored vehicles after all? They wouldn't just land on the island, they would definitely fire some shells at us first. Let's see how many centaurs there are on our mushroom island!"
Zhao Zhongyao felt that the enemy was not a fool. It's not so easy to get them deceived! They may not just land on the island, but will first use cannonballs to clear their way!
"Ah, then, are we going to be beaten again!" As soon as Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he was a little depressed again!
"That's right, we still have to be beaten! If we don't get beaten, the enemy won't enter our ambush circle!" Zhao Zhongyao knew that it was not an easy task to introduce the enemy into their ambush circle, and it was necessary to keep being beaten to make the enemy believe that their opponent might really not be able to beat them!
"Then won't we fight back! Will we just be the target of the enemy!" Yan Mingcheng listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he felt even more aggrieved and panicked.
"No, of course we're going to fight back, just firing a few cannonballs symbolically. You don't have to aim at all, you just let the enemy know that we're resisting them. ”
Zhao Zhongyao knew that if we were beaten without making any resistance, wouldn't that also make the enemy suspicious! The best way to do this was to resist while being beaten, so that the enemy would believe that our army was indeed not very good, and that it was not their opponent at all!
"Zhongyao! Then how long are we going to endure it! Do we just want to see the enemy land on our mushroom island!" Yan Mingcheng was already a little aggrieved and couldn't stand it, he had fought a battle before, but that time was not the same as this time at all, that time, it was all commanded by himself, he was quick to fight, and quickly defeated the enemy!
But this time, again and again, again and again, and again and again, it is really unbearable! Especially Yan Ming, who was originally an impatient person, and now that the enemy has begun to fire at them, how can he still endure it!
"When the enemy enters our ambush circle, that's when we open fire on them. Zhao Zhongyao saw that Yan Mingcheng was already a little impatient, so he comforted him.
"Okay, then I'll bear with it for a while!" Yan Mingcheng has no choice, since he wants to listen to Zhao Zhongyao, he can't go against others!
In this way, the enemy's reconnaissance planes, having reconnoitred the positions of our troops, flew back.
After a while, they began to fire at the positions of our troops. And our army also counterattacked a few shots, and then it was no longer counterattacking.
As soon as the enemy saw it, our troops did not dare to return fire, thinking that our artillery shells were gone, or that our personnel had fled!
So the enemy sent thousands of fighters from warships in small speedboats to quickly sail from the sea to Mushroom Island. Soon they were washed up on the beach.
When the enemy reached the beach, they loaded their guns, dismounted from the speedboat, and began to attack Mushroom Island cautiously.
When they entered the encirclement of our army, their commander saw that there was not a single soldier in sight of our troops on Mushroom Island, only a few tanks destroyed by the artillery on their warship!
"Haha, they've all been beaten away by us, brothers, take this island. "As soon as the enemy commander saw that there was not a single soldier left in our position, he felt that all the men of our army had let them run away!
"Zhongyao, now is the time to fight back!" Yan Mingcheng couldn't wait, so he thought about shooting at the enemy quickly!
"Hmm! Shoot now!" Zhao Zhongyao saw that the enemy had entered their ambush circle, and the time had come for them to fight back, so he agreed with Yan Mingcheng's statement.
"Okay, fire now!" Yan Mingcheng picked up the flare gun and fired a shot into the sky.
A red flare flew into the sky. It's very bright, and even though it's broad daylight, anyone can see it as long as they're on this mushroom island!
It's a sign of the start of a counterattack. Before, Yan Mingcheng had already discussed this counterattack plan with the commanders lurking in the bushes and grass. When you see the red flare rising, you can open fire on the enemy.
The enemy also saw the flare flying from a small hill, and they stared at it one by one, not knowing what was going on!
"Damn, this-what does this mean, is there still a Chinese army on this island!" The enemy commander felt a little inexplicable as soon as he saw a red flare flying from a small hill!
But at this moment, he saw the bushes and grass around them suddenly shake, and soon countless Chinese soldiers with loaded guns came out of the bushes and grass. (To be continued.) )
