To the west of the Alxa League is the Gobi, and in this era, no one will be idle and have nothing to drill there, and it is a place where real birds don't.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, in fact, everyone knew that the straight-line distance between Fortress 178 and Fortress Zongshi 146 was not particularly far, but few people thought about what to do in this Gobi Desert.

If an army wants to pass through, it's basically like a fool's dream.

However, the Zong clan has been plotting the 178 fortress for too long!

The geographical location of the Zong clan is scarce, far inferior to the 178 Fortress, the Qing Clan, the Yang Clan, and even the Li Clan.

Therefore, expanding outward to seek resources is what the Zong clan must do, and only huge resources can support their ambitions.

Where's the resources? Fortress 178, of course.

You must know that Fort 178 blocks the wider territory outside the northwest, and that land is buried more than 90% of the mineral deposits of the entire Barrier Alliance, as well as a large amount of natural gas, crude oil, and various metal minerals.

In Zong's opinion, these things were put in the hands of the group of killers in the 178 fortress and not used, it was simply a tyrannical thing and a waste!

A few years ago, the Zong clan had quietly started with secret troops transporting supplies to the Gobi, and now they have built a large forward base on a small oasis.

Not for anything else, just so that one day, there will be a fierce force that can use this forward base to cross the Gobi and then give Fortress 178 a fatal blow.

In fact, the Zong clan knew that the 178 Fortress was going to attack Wuchuan Mountain from the Heishi River to the north, and also knew that after the 178 Fortress blew up the Beiwan River, the way for the Zong Clan to go south for a surprise attack was gone, but everything was in Zong Ying's plan, and the 178 Fortress also had no way to retreat.

Zong Ying had already obtained very accurate information, and now there is only one independent regiment stationed in the 178 fortress, and the entire fortress can be said to be pouring out.

So now the 178 fortress, which is empty in defense, has become an island, and there is no one to rescue.

As long as the Zong clan occupies the 178 fortress, then even if Zhang Jinglin and the others rebuild the pontoon bridge, they will have no home to return to, and there is no fortress to defend.

When the supply of the 178 fortress troops is cut off, isn't it Ren Zong's arbitrary control?

Zong Ying calculated the time, and in just seven days, his troops could pass through the Gobi and reach the 178 fortress, and the troops would be under the city!

Zong Ying squinted, he thought to himself that now Zhang Jinglin didn't know if he had guessed all this.

You should have guessed it, the intention of cutting off their way on the Blackstone River is quite obvious.

But guessed what, Zhang Jinglin no longer had any way to stop him from occupying Fortress 178.

Having lost so many troops and used so many cannon fodder before, wasn't it just to attract Zhang Jinglin to the north bank of the Heishi River?

Although there was a small episode such as the sharp knife company in the middle, it didn't matter, no matter how powerful a company was, it was impossible to affect the overall situation.

Although the granary was burned, the Zong clan could still support it for a month, and this time was enough for him to drag the 178 fortress troops to death, after all, Zhang Jinglin also ran out of supplies, didn't he?

At the thought of defeating Zhang Jinglin, a famous general in the world who has been famous for a long time, Zong Ying had an unconcealable excitement in his heart.

In his position, only power and unprecedented victories could arouse his desires.

......

At this time, Hu Xingzhi, the commander of the armored brigade beside Zhang Jinglin, looked at him: "Commander, the Zong clan must be trying to plot our fortress by cutting off the back road of our main force, Commander, you have to think of a way." ”

Zhang Jinglin looked at Hu Xingzhi: "You and I can only win by fighting against the water here, everyone, we must take Wuchuan Mountain as soon as possible, so that we can fight a way out, notify the engineer battalion in the rear to rebuild the pontoon bridge as soon as possible, and ask them how long it will take!"

An operational staff officer hesitated: "I asked just now, and the engineer battalion on the south bank said that it would take 10 days! It is possible to build a simple pontoon bridge, which is fast, but if the mechanized troops cannot pass it, it is in vain." ”

10 days ......

Even if the pontoon bridge is built in 10 days, they will have to return to Fortress 178 for another 7 days, and everything will be too late!

Suddenly, Zhou Yinglong ran back from the front line: "Commander! Commander! It's the phone number of the Sharp Knife Company!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, how could they have thought that at this time, the sharp knife company in the rear would actually resume communication.

At this time, the Sharp Knife Company had just come out of the 144 barrier, and they not only burned the granary of the 144 barrier, but also robbed the satellite phone, so that they had the opportunity to contact the 178 fortress troops.

Zhang Jinglin took over the satellite phone, and Zhang Xiaoman, the loud voice on the other side of the phone, shouted excitedly: "Commander? Is it the commander?"

"Well, I'm Zhang Jinglin, you say," Zhang Jinglin said calmly.

"We burned down all the granaries of the 144th Barrier, knocked out seven or eight companies, and killed the three commanders of the 1237 Regiment, and the deputy commander is now also ......in our hands," Zhang Xiaoman said with a sigh, as if he was afraid that Zhang Jinglin would not give him the Nebula Medal, and told all the credit in one go.

The generals beside Zhang Jinglin were stunned, they didn't expect the Sharp Knife Company to do so many big things, no wonder the Zong clan wanted to send troops back to the rear to deal with them.

Is this a company? Even an independent regiment can't do it.

The sharp knife is also fierce!

But everyone couldn't be happy, because the current battle situation is no longer something that can be changed by burning granaries, killing a few regiment commanders, and defeating a few companies.

saw Zhang Jinglin smile and said: "You have done a good job, but you must also pay attention to safety." ”

"Commander, rest assured, we have no casualties!"

The generals had a toothache again, and they couldn't imagine how the Sharp Knife Company could do so many things with zero casualties.

Zhang Jinglin smiled and told Zhang Xiaoman a few words, and then handed the phone to Zhou Yinglong, without mentioning Ren Xiaosu in the whole process, but everyone knew that Ren Xiaosu was probably a great contributor in this battle.

Zhou Yinglong took the phone and shouted to Zhang Xiaoman: "Okay, I know that you have made meritorious contributions, I don't have time to talk to you now, you evacuate to a safe area first, the situation on our side is very critical now." ”

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned: "Critical?"

Zhou Yinglong paused for a moment and sighed and said the general situation, the sharp knives around Zhang Xiaoman even the soldiers listened to the phone, everyone was a little at a loss, why did the battle situation suddenly turn into a disadvantage?

And the Zong clan may be about to occupy Fortress 178? What about his wife and children? What about the girl Fu Rao likes? What about Lu Yao, everyone's dream lover?

Zhang Xiaoman was anxious: "Battalion commander, don't worry, they can go to fight our 178 fortress, we can also go to fight their 146 barriers, the group of Lao Tzu in power of the Zong clan can all be in the 146 barriers, kill them, and the Zong clan immediately panicked." ”

Zhou Yinglong scolded with a smile: "What kind of foolish words, there is a brigade in the 146 barrier now, you can fight if you say it, hurry up and get out of here, you can run in the direction of the Central Plains now......"

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another voice: "Is Mr. Zhang still listening, I only asked if it would be helpful to break down the 146 barriers." ”

Zhang Jinglin was silent for a moment: "Yes." ”

"Okay, I'll fight. ”

All the generals next to him felt that this voice was a little unfamiliar, but they all knew that this was probably that Ren Xiaosu.

It's just that this Xiao Su is also a little crazy, how can a sharp knife even hit the 146 barrier?

Zhang Jinglin sighed: "It's impossible for you to break the 146 barrier. ”

"Mr. Zhang, do you remember what you said," Ren Xiaosu asked calmly, "You said that it is stupid to do it even if you know that it is impossible and even hurt, but do you remember how I answered?" ”

Zhang Jinglin remembered that moment, Ren Xiaosu said, so is bravery.
