Chapter 1291: Surprise Attack
Conan, the auctioneer, walked into the Red Baron's headquarters. This somewhat thin man, his orange hair was stuck to his face because of sweat, and his face was dust except for dust. He walked in and sat there panting.
Conan was the commander of the force that had attacked the other side yesterday, and they suffered heavy losses in this battle, but they finally completed the withdrawal. At present, and General Wolman's troops have again entered a stalemate.
The Red Baron said coldly, "How much have you lost?"
Conan's voice trembled a little, "It's just...... We lost at least half of our personnel. ”
The Red Baron nodded, "Then you swore to me yesterday that you would take the outskirts of the other party's city in a single battle, and you would force them into a corner overnight?"
Conan was silent, he knew the baron's temper and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Forget it, I won't pursue this matter for the time being. The Red Baron waved his hand, "I ask you, how long will it take you to take the outskirts of Naryi, and how long will it take to storm the city?"
"As a result, we are currently losing a bit of a large number of troops, and we lack heavy weapons support. Fighting in the streets, we are not familiar with the terrain. Conan was a little embarrassed, "I think the current situation will take at least a little more than a week." ”
"When I asked you yesterday, you said that you would storm the city that night. As a result, he was beaten to the ground. If I ask you again today, I will be suing me for a week. What are you supposed to be?" sneered the Red Baron.
"Baron, yesterday we had the upper hand in our forces, and we were in pursuit of victory. Today we have lost our troops, and we have just suffered losses, so ......" Conan said in a smug manner.
"Don't give me any reason, I don't need any explanation, I just ask you, how can you defeat them in four days?" said the Red Baron coldly.
"Four days?" Conan said with some embarrassment. But seeing the red baron's face, he immediately changed his tone and said, "However, you can also give it a try." We can assemble a crack squad and infiltrate the city to carry out decapitation tactics. Get rid of Wollman directly, as long as you kill him, the other troops will be leaderless, and there is no need to worry about it at all. ”
"It's difficult, Wollman is an old fox, he expected this at the beginning of the war, and he should have a lot of mercenary bodyguards around him. We don't even know where he is, how to carry out the decapitation plan? Are you a Yankee, and there are drones to support us at every turn. As long as you know the approximate location of the other party, just press the button to release the missile?" said the red baron with a frown.
Conan was so disciplined by him that he lowered his head.
"Even if I do give you such a team, and you get into the city, I don't think you can find where Wollman is hiding. The Red Baron shook his head and said, "This beheading plan of yours is rubbish. Think differently!"
"But Wollman's men set up a lot of ambush points along the way, and they made full use of the buildings in the city to fight with us in guerrillas, and it was really difficult for us to solve the battle by storming. Conan said helplessly.
"I didn't let you attack by force!" said the Red Baron, pointing to the map, "Come and see how special Naryi's position is." Wolman's choice to fight us here is the result of careful planning. Because the two free states near the city of Naryi were his two sons in control. Each of them had no more than a thousand men armed. ”
"What does the baron mean?" Conan was slightly startled.
"I mean, Wollman's intention was to hold us down and then have reinforcements on both flanks finish the wrap-up. Even if they can't defeat us, they will try to hold us back and use the Naryi River to limit our mobility. Let the arrived panther Guray complete the last piece of the puzzle and completely encircle us. The Red Baron drew on the drawing with a pen.
"It's ......," Conan felt a chill run down his back.
"However, I had expected this for a long time. Enough men were laid in ambush in those two states to allow those people to riot at the same time, so that Wolman's two sons could not get out in time. This ruined his plan to close the siege in one fell swoop. So at present, Wolman is more passive than us, and in the absence of reinforcements, he can only hold out. And his defensive position is mainly on this line, and on this line.
Because of the great consumption of his troops, it is estimated that there are less than 500 people left of the original more than 800 people after several days of fighting. He was no longer able to juggle the defenses everywhere and could only focus on the front. This will inevitably lead to the emptiness of the defenses behind him. The Red Baron said slowly.
"What does the Baron mean is that we avoid the real and attack the rear of the frontal defenses?" Conan frowned.
"Yes, I came to you for this purpose. Now the area around the river beach has become a stalemate. They can't rush in, and we can't press it down. This happens to be an advantage that we can take advantage of. That is, to use the existing forces in the area of the river beach to contain the Wolman forces, and then surprise attack the rear of the city of Naryi. The Red Baron pointed to the map.
"However, our forces on two fronts are also insufficient. Conan hesitated.
"I will hand over to you the eight hundred men of the reserve, and you will take the men around twelve kilometers and complete the armed swimming crossing this night. Assemble in this position, and then continue the detour to the right flank. In a situation that they did not expect at all, raid their rear and complete this surprise attack. "This is the narrowest stretch of the Nari River, and it is densely vegetated, and it is the most suitable route for your movement," the Red Baron said, pointing to the location on the map. ”
"But it requires long marches, and on foot, without vehicles, on foot. I'm afraid, I'll be discovered. Conan frowned.
"I have thought of this as well, so I will order the frontal troops to intensify the offensive, and throw the remaining two hundred reserves into the frontal river beach position, and continue to storm the outskirts of the city, which will distract Wolman's men flawlessly. When all their attention is drawn to the front, it is the best cover for you. The Red Baron said calmly.
"Who is responsible for the frontal attack force?" Conan frowned.
"I'll let someone else take over your command for the time being, and you just need to complete this most crucial surprise team. Once your 800 men burst through from their rear, it means that the Wolman forces will be forced to fight in two fronts, and they will be forced into the southwest corner of the city. Guerrilla warfare is essentially a movement warfare, and it is the one that most needs space for movement to wander. Once the space was limited, their guerrilla tactics of street fighting were half defeated, leaving only street fighting and losing guerrilla warfare. The Red Baron sneered.
"Okay, I'll go get ready. Conan said immediately.
"Let's go and rest first, gather in the afternoon, and move in the evening. Whether you can take Naryi City this time is up to you. The Red Baron said expressionlessly.
"Yes, Baron. Conan nodded.
