Chapter 201: The Peak Turns Around
More than two hours later, a large number of enemies finally attacked outside the capital, this time the enemy may know that Zhao Chun ** is powerful, so he did not send a large number of planes to bomb, but with long-range artillery, rocket artillery, ground-to-ground ** bombardment.
Although Zhao Chun's army could intercept most of the **, it could not effectively intercept those shells, *** and the like, so that most of them fell into the city. Some of the city's buildings that had been hit by shells collapsed or burst into flames.
When Zhao Chunzheng was about to order the troops to withdraw from the capital, Tianli suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Tianli, you...... You're not in the northern camp, what are you doing here?" Zhao Chun was shocked, and he couldn't even speak, at this critical juncture, please don't make any more trouble with your aunt, okay?
Tianli smiled and said: "Don't panic, husband, I brought 200,000 troops to rescue you, as long as our husband and wife are of the same heart, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy." ”
"Nonsense!" Zhao Chun rebuked with a smile, "Xiaolu and Shen Ju are both veterans of war, how can they also mess around with you? Don't they know that once their northern camp is also lost, we will have no place in the Huoyan Country? You dare to joke with the lives of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, and when the war is over, I must deal with you seriously and let you be tried by a military court." ”
However, Tianli was not angry, but coquettishly said like a wronged child: "Husband, people are worried about you." At the beginning you had an army of 500,000 in your hands, but you did not save my father, and in the end he died a heroic martyr, and since then, I have made up my mind that from now on, as long as I am able, I will never let my beloved suffer without rescuing him. And I have also discussed this matter with Xiaolu and Shen Ju, I took 200,000 troops with them and did not have much impact on them, they are fully capable of dealing with the offensive of Bati's army, don't look at the offensive of those armies is very fierce and there are many people, but Xiaolu and Shen Ju said that as long as they concentrate their forces, they will soon be able to kill a bloody road, and then find a way to break them all, we can't be trapped in one place. ”
When Zhao Chun heard that she had brought her dead father out again, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, although this matter was not his responsibility, and the decision he made at the beginning was not wrong, but after all, the dead were the greatest, and he felt a little guilty no matter how he said it. Moreover, when he heard Tianli say that he should not be trapped in a certain place, but should jump out and take the initiative to find fighters and destroy the enemy's living forces, this kind of strategic thinking, he has used it quite skillfully in the Holy Domain, why is he tied up here? It seems that his comfortable life has been too long, and his mind has been constrained.
"Then in your opinion, how can we repel the enemy's attack?" Zhao Chun said softly, it was a great comfort to have someone to support him at such a critical moment.
Tianli thought for a while and said: "There are two plans, one is that we withdraw from the capital as soon as possible, retreat while fighting, and then join Xiaolu and them, and the other is that the 200,000 troops I brought with the 100,000 defenders in the capital city set up an ambush in the capital city and use the tunnels to fight street battles with them. Personally, I prefer the second option. ”
Zhao Chunxin said, you have brought the troops, what other plans are you talking about, plan 1 and plan 2? Presumably Xiaolu and Shen Ju also have this idea, and you discussed it together for a long time before deciding on it, right?
However, Zhao Chun did not break her, but said: "In this case, let's choose the second option, with the support of the 200,000 troops you brought, it is not easy for the enemy army to take the capital in one fell swoop." ”
"Well, I'll have someone set it up right away, and you buy me a little time. Tianli said happily, she knew that she had won another point, since she came to the Fire Yan Country, that strong competitor had lost points one after another because of her stupidity, hmph, what is more important than getting her own happiness?
After Tianli left, Zhao Chun immediately gave Wang Zhen an order, asking him to change his strategy, suspend the retreat outside the city to the north, and all the troops remained in the capital, ready to start street battles with the enemy, and the retreat plan of some important departments remained unchanged.
Wang Zhen couldn't understand why Zhao Chun suddenly changed his mind, and this sudden change of mind, if he didn't think about it carefully, in the face of the ever-changing battlefield, it would be easy to fall into passivity, and now Bhatti has millions of troops to attack the city, with the 100,000 soldiers in the city, it is undoubtedly too crazy.
However, he also knew that Zhao Chun was not that impulsive person, and he must have his considerations when he made such a decision, he was afraid that he really had a secret weapon that others didn't know, and he could give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment.
With the spiritual support of this trust in Zhao Chun, he began to order his troops to abandon the retreat and turn to street fighting.
Half an hour later, the vanguard of Bhatti's army had entered the city, but they met with strong resistance from the organisers, and it was very difficult to advance forward, and it was only after half an hour that they had advanced less than a hundred meters, still circling a few streets under the city walls.
For this kind of progress, the commander of Bhatti's side was a little anxious and ordered to step up the offensive at all costs, but Bhatti had given him an order before, saying that he could not let the important buildings of the capital be destroyed by the war, in Bhatti's view, it was only a matter of time before the capital was recovered, if the capital became a ruin, he would have to spend a lot of effort to rebuild after the recovery, and the country of Huoyan had lost a lot of money because of disasters and wars, so where could he find so much money to rebuild?
Zhao Chun was still calmly directing the operations in the capital city in the war room, and he wanted to drag Bhatti's army into the quagmire of war in this area of hundreds of square kilometers in the capital, and the longer it dragged on, the better.
It's just that in this way, it is only the ordinary people in the capital who can suffer, because of the war, their lives are not guaranteed, and their basic survival has become a problem, so some people are thinking about fleeing again, but where can they flee? Now that the country of Huoyan is full of wars, and some so-called paradises are only temporary calm, who knows when the flames of war will burn there?
"Report to the commander-in-chief, our side has just detected that behind the troops attacking Bhatti in the southern camp, a large number of troops of unknown origin have suddenly appeared, and they have launched fierce attacks on Bhatti's army from all directions, and judging from the intensity of the artillery fire and the intensity of the attack, the number of troops of unknown origin is probably more than 500,000. Zhao Chun was frowning in the war room and looking at the battle report, when suddenly a signal corpsman came to report.
"Really, has this news been confirmed?" Zhao Chun said in disbelief.
The signal soldier said excitedly: "It has been confirmed, now from our city, you can see the light of artillery fire in the distance, and you can also hear some faint sounds. Moreover, the news came from a place we had placed more than a hundred kilometers from the capital, and there was an unusual commotion in Bhatti's army, which seemed to be a little stunned by the sudden blow. ”
"Okay, great, you immediately go and inform Wang Zhen, Tianli and others to come over for a meeting, I want to study with them how to make full use of this favorable situation and take the initiative to attack, so as to plan for the counterattack of the other side against the Bhatti Southern Front, if the two sides cooperate well, defeat or annihilate the Bhatti Southern Front, that is the most wonderful thing. Zhao Chundao, he seemed to see a glimmer of victory.
When the communicator was about to leave the war room, Zhao Chun suddenly called out to him again: "Wait, the people from your communications department will go to the front line to verify the news again, and give me a detailed report within an hour, so that I can plan the next move." ”
Soon after, Wang Zhen, Tianli, Xuehe and others all arrived.
"Have you all gotten the news?" Zhao Chun said as he looked at them.
Wang Zhen and Tianli looked at each other, only Xuehe said: "I just received news that in the southern camp, in the rear of Bhatti's army, hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly appeared, and launched a fierce attack on them from behind, I have already sent someone to verify this news, and there should be a detailed report in half an hour." ”
Zhao Chun nodded approvingly and said, "Well, Xuehe is worthy of being the person who has been with me for the longest time, and I can rest assured that he is doing things." I've asked people to call you over this time, and that's what happened. Although the news has not been conclusively verified, it should not be fake. The only thing I don't understand now is which force does this outnumbered army that suddenly appeared behind the enemy belong to? Could it be that it is the State of Haiti? If it is really their army, they can cross a thousand kilometers across the border and go deep into the interior to suddenly attack Bhatti's army without the knowledge of it, and their strength should not be underestimated. ”
Wang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the army of the southern battalion led by Laura and the poisonous lady? They led hundreds of thousands of troops and suddenly disappeared without a trace, this thing is really too weird and terrifying. ”
"No way. Tianli jumped up and said, "They must have absconded with their troops to see that the battle situation was not in our favor, and maybe they even surrendered Bhatti's army." ”
Zhao Chun frowned and said: "Of course this possibility exists, and it is very stupid to draw conclusions without investigating it clearly." He always had a hint of illusion about Laura, feeling that she was not the kind of person who didn't care about the overall situation and acted willfully, and she should have her reasons for doing this.
"Hmph, husband, at this critical moment in the war period, we must be objective and fair in everything we do, and we can't bring personal feelings, maybe she used to be your closest comrade-in-arms, but in the face of a complicated war situation, who knows what choice she will make?" Tianli said a little angrily, she finally waited for such an opportunity to defeat Laura, and naturally she was unwilling to let go.
Zhao Chun felt a headache and said: "We really shouldn't mix too many personal feelings in military operations, but people are emotional animals, sometimes they can't be completely rational, as an excellent commander, you should know how to make decisions to reduce the interference of personal feelings, so we can't draw conclusions until the truth of the facts is investigated." In any case, the army that is now appearing behind the southern battalion Bhatti's army, since the attack on Bhatti's army shows that they are our allies, not enemies, and our only goal now is to defeat Bhatti's army, and the rest can be put aside for the time being. ”
Tianli pouted and stopped talking, and it could be seen that she was still very unconvinced.
Zhao Chun ignored her and turned to Xue He: "After the news from the front line is verified, you immediately send a telegram to Xiaolu and Shen Bureau, and ask them to stop the enemy's attack at all costs, especially not to let the enemy on the northern side quickly reinforce the troops in the south." Didn't you study before that the commanders of the enemy in the south were at odds with the commanders of the enemy in the north, because the troops in the north were not the direct troops of Bhatti and were not taken seriously by Bhatti, and their equipment and treatment were inferior to those in the south? ”
"Well, I made a note of it. Xue He said, he didn't say much, but he was unambiguous in implementing Zhao Chun's orders and policies, which Zhao Chun appreciated very much.
"Now, let's discuss how to launch a counteroffensive against Bhatti's army, which has already stormed the capital. Zhao Chun said, pressed the remote control, and a huge combat map of the capital region suddenly appeared on the screen of the war room.
