Chapter 659: Taking Advantage of the Terrain
What he hesitated about was whether a company in Jiang Xinwei could hold the existing position, if Jiang Xinwei and they could not hold it, and the hill peak position on Lieutenant Colonel Baka's side was lost, then the situation would be very bad.
And he is now urging the Hanmu tribe to overstep their authority a little bit, and it is good that they can gain fame and fortune if they win, but if they fail, the Hanmu tribe will despise themselves because of this.
He hesitated, weighed.
The atmosphere at the headquarters of the Tribal Alliance above the village of Wildebeest was similarly uneasy. As more and more soldiers died on the battlefield, Lieutenant Colonel Bosako of the Tribal Alliance no longer had the confidence and patience he had before, and he was like a tiger trapped in a cage, walking agitately back and forth in the headquarters, roaring in his mouth: "Incompetent! Stupid! We are no less outnumbered than the enemy, and with so many fortifications to rely on, why can't we destroy them? Philip is really damned! Everyone should be damned!"
HE SEEMED TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT THE CURRENT SITUATION IN THE VILLAGE OF HORNEER WAS LARGELY CAUSED BY HIM, THE LIEUTENANT COLONEL, AND THAT IF HE HAD NOT SENT HIS TROOPS TO THE HILL PEAK POSITION FOR REINFORCEMENTS, HOW COULD HIS FORCES BE DWARFED?
The major next to him naturally didn't dare to say that his boss was not, but just lowered his head and reported: "Lieutenant Colonel, this Hanmu tribe army is extremely cunning, although the number is not large, and the firepower is not fierce, but their marksmanship is accurate and agile, and almost a bullet has caused one of us to be killed or wounded. Now the brothers' courage has been weakened by them, as long as they hear the gunshot, they lie down, and do not dare to move at all. In my opinion, there is now less than a platoon of the Hanmu tribesmen's army firing at us. The other two platoons remained behind. ”
Bossako glared and asked angrily, "How is it possible? They can stop the charge of our nearly one company with one platoon?" Do you think they are omnipotent gods?"
The enemy major only smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart: "Saying that he is a platoon, I still say it in the general direction." In fact, I estimate that there are only two squads of troops shooting at us. ”
The enemy major said: "Lieutenant colonel, this unit is definitely different from other troops. They are more combat-ready than our elite troops. ”
Bossako is not stupid, how can he not hear the scale of the opponent's firepower from the sound of gunfire in his many years of military career? It's just that he doesn't want to believe this fact.
He looked at his men and asked, "Mr. Major, since we only have one platoon of the enemy in front of us, what can you tell us about the rest of their troops?" So far, they have begun to charge once, or at the beginning, they have not charged again after being pressed down by us, and they have not even tried. Why?"
The major shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear yet. It is likely that they think they are not sure, so they do not make unnecessary sacrifices. Or maybe they're worried that the troops around us will come and pick up their rear roads and give them a front and back attack, so they're working hard to repair the fortifications right now. There is also the possibility ......"
Bossako himself said: "There is also the possibility of resting. Wait for their platoon to almost drain our morale, and then suddenly charge. Take the village of Wildebeest in one fell swoop?"
The Major nodded, "Quite possibly, but there is also a possibility that we will surround us and wait for their follow-up troops to come and pick us up." ”
Bossako nodded: "Both possibilities exist. But the former is more likely, they have reinforcements, we have reinforcements, and our reinforcements are much closer than theirs. I think a company of reinforcements is a battalion at most, right? What can we do on our turf?"
The Major nodded and said, "Then we have to readjust our deployment, and now we don't have to fight them to the death." When they attack, give them the fatal blow. ”
Bosako said: "It's not that I can't really hold my breath, but I just watch our soldiers being attacked by them one by one and falling down one by one, and I am anxious. …… , how is our ammunition situation?"
The major was speechless, and only after a while did he say, "The ammunition is fine." Ammunition depots were heavily defended. Lieutenant Colonel, rest assured. ”
Bosako asked, "Is there any news of the other Khammu tribe troops, and can our troops get ahead of the Khan tribe reinforcements?"
The major glanced at his boss with a little disdain, and said to himself: Is there anyone who asks such a mother-in-law? How can you become a different person when you encounter a disappointment, and become timid and hesitant.
He affirmed: "There is no movement of the Khammu tribe army right now. I suspect that this force is acting on its own, or that they have lost contact with their superiors. ”
THE ENEMY MAJOR, WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO ASK BOSAKO, SIMPLY SAID: "NOW OUR TROOPS ATTACKING THE HILL PEAK POSITION ARE PREPARING TO RETURN, AND THE SURROUNDING TROOPS HAVE ALREADY SET OFF, AND THEY CAN REACH HERE IN HALF AN HOUR AT THE EARLIEST, BUT THERE ARE NOT MANY OF THEM." ”
When Bosako heard this, he had a bottom in his heart, and said loudly: "Okay, come on, see how I can kill all you nasty flies!"
……
Hearing that the artillery fire of the tribal alliance was "taking care" of Liu Changgui in the south, Jiang Xinwei grabbed an AK47 rifle and rushed up, hiding behind another tree stump.
Soon, he raised his rifle and stretched out the trigger, and after firing three bullets, he immediately ran down with a rolling belt, and said to He Xiaochu proudly: "At least kill the two of them!"
Tony Fei, who had been following Jiang Xinwei, said enviously: "Head, you are too powerful." If only I had as good as you. ”
Jiang Xinwei smiled and said, "Just practice more." ”
At this time, Zhou Jianliang and Ma Liantao ran over quickly from below.
Ma Liantao first reported: "Head, the fortifications and bunkers have been repaired. In fact, the Tribal Alliance has been repaired very well, we have only repaired it according to our requirements, and now it is fully capable of dealing with enemy attacks on both sides of the river. You can give up here now. The Tribal Alliance is really good, they know that we are going to repair the fortifications, and they don't rush down. ”
Zhou Jianliang said with a smile: "The problem is that they can't rush down if they want to, every time they charge, they lose more than a dozen corpses before they rush far, and they can't even see a single hair on us, how can they rush?...... , head, I don't know how many defenders there are, after fighting for so long, they should only have two platoons of strength, right?"
Jiang Xinwei nodded and said, "It should be about the same." …… What do you know?"
Zhou Jianliang replied: "The enemy's defense behind the mountain is indeed not strict. Moreover, we found a small ravine leading to the top, and as long as we attract the enemy here, it is possible to sneak up the hill from that side. ”
Jiang Xinwei's eyes lit up and said, "There really is such a ravine?...... Take me to see it. ”
Soon, he followed Zhou Jianliang to a place not far from him and saw a small ravine, which was filled with many small trees and weeds more than one person high.
This small ditch did not extend in a straight line to the top of the mountain, but spiraled diagonally upward, its starting point was not far from the other side where Jiang Xinwei and they were fighting, and its end point was behind the top of the mountain.
It didn't take long for Jiang Xinwei to have an idea in his heart, and then took Zhou Jianliang back to the foot of the mountain to discuss the way to attack with Ma Liantao, Liu Changgui, Zhou Jianliang and others.
In fact, the so-called discussion is actually Jiang Xinwei talking, others are listening, and others are basically just adding some suggestions to improve Jiang Xinwei's plan.
Jiang Xinwei said in his chest: "I think we can take three steps: the first step is to bombard this ravine with mortars, grenades, and explosives packs. The second step is to put on a frontal battlefield in a posture of immediate attack, attract the enemy's attention, and move the enemy's forces to the front as much as possible. The third step is to make a sneak attack, taking advantage of the enemy's troop movements, to force a breakthrough and take this strategic location in one fell swoop. ”
Ma Liantao pondered for a while, and said approvingly: "I think it's okay, even if we can't take it in one fell swoop, we can scare them into a cold sweat, make them tired, make them worry about both ends, and dare not put all their strength on our front to deal with us." As long as there is some negligence on their part, that's our chance. ”
When Zhou Jianliang heard this, he immediately said, "Then let's do it." Concentrate all the mortars first, and let the soldiers who are okay for the time being throw grenades inside. ”
A few leaders reached a reunification, and the matter was settled.
Jiang Xinwei said to Liu Changgui, who was not far away: "I said that it is good for you to take the initiative to order the big man, don't you know that I am going to use your arm strength to throw grenades now? Hurry up, gather a few soldiers who threw grenades far away, and let you command them, and throw them into the ravine with all my strength." ”
Liu Changgui glanced at Jiang Xinwei depressedly, and muttered: "At that time, you beckoned me to come over, and now ......"
Jiang Xinwei smiled: "Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, why is such a big man so careful? Hurry up!"
Soon, more than a dozen soldiers with good arm strength were also gathered by Liu Changgui, each with a box of grenades, ready to throw them out at any time.
The five mortars owned by the elite company were also quickly gathered, and the soldiers skillfully erected artillery mounts, adjusted Zhu Yuan, and carried shells in a safe area under the command of Zhou Jianliang.
Jiang Xinwei suddenly had a new idea in his mind, he called the two heads of the two departments, Zhou Jianliang and Liu Changgui, and said it like and that. Zhou Jianliang and Liu Changgui both watched him.
After Jiang Xinwei finished speaking, Zhou Jianliang asked suspiciously, "Impossible, right?"
Although Liu Changgui was suspicious in his heart, in order to show that his relationship with Jiang Xinwei was very strong, he said: "Try it, it's just a few minutes of delay." I don't believe that the tribal alliance, you Zhou Jianliang have a smart boss. ”
Zhou Jianliang was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Who said I don't believe in the boss?"
Liu Changgui ignored him, looked at Jiang Xinwei and asked, "Head, let's start?"
Jiang Xinwei snorted, raised his hand high, glanced at the people around him again, and then pressed down, and heard Zhou Jianliang next to him shouting: "Prepare ——, start!"
