Qiu Rong got the gap in the opponent's defense she needed, so naturally she wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, and after he eliminated the opponent's pursuing troops, he ordered all of them to advance and march to the middle. Although Bai Chengjiang allocated a little force to the middle lane, but that number of troops was really small, and now if he wants to block Qiu Rong's attack, he can only continue to transfer troops on the left and right roads, and it is difficult to say if the time is not in time. In the case of a small number of troops, the shortcomings of implementing a focused defense are clearly exposed at this moment.

Qiu Rong's battle was seen in the eyes of Shen Zhenchuan and Bai Yan, each with a different expression, Shen Zhenchuan was slightly happy, and Bai Yan had a thoughtful expression. The joy on Shen Zhenchuan's face did not last long, it could be said that it was fleeting in a blink of an eye, and it was impossible to show it without staring at his face. Therefore, none of the people present noticed the change in the expression on his face. Bai Yan turned his head and said with a smile: "Old Shen, from this battle, we can see that some of our comrades have developed a proud and complacent mentality when they have not fought for a long time, which is quite terrifying!" He was not talking about anyone else, it was the general who was angered by Qiu Rong and swore to chase after Qiu Rong's troops.

Shen Zhenchuan nodded, "Lao Bai is right, our people are far from being as good as in the early days of liberation, I think it is very necessary to carry out a top-down study in the army, learn correct ideology and theory, correct bad and wrong work styles and habits, and ensure the combat effectiveness of our army." In the army, there are many fine traditions and styles that have been completely discarded by us. For example, in the past, when the older generation of soldiers led the soldiers to assault, they shouted to rush me, and now many commanders and fighters are shouting to rush me! They all put themselves in a superior category. In the long run, it is really difficult to say how much combat strength our army will have. ”

The two of them were discussing the changes in the army, and for a while they forgot to watch the exercises on the screen. At this time, Qiu Rong's troops had already arrived at the first position in the middle of the Sixth Army, the 177th position. The original defenders of the 177 position were about 200 people, less than two companies, and later Qiu Rong divided the troops, and Bai Chengjiang ordered the right side to divide more than 300 people to the 177 position to coordinate the defense. In this way, the entire position also added up to five hundred people, nearly the strength of a battalion.

The commander and fighter of the 177 position is a battalion commander, surnamed Xu, who is forty-one years old this year. At this time, Battalion Commander Xu was walking anxiously around the position command post, and he had already contacted the rear headquarters and reported to Bai Chengjiang in detail the sudden arrival of Qiurong's troops. Bai Chengjiang didn't say anything else, and issued a death order, ordering Battalion Commander Xu to hold off Qiu Rong's attacking troops in the 177 position for forty minutes, and the reinforcements would take at least nearly half an hour or so to reach the 177 position.

It is theoretically feasible to drag the opponent's more than 2,000 people with 500 people, and it is still a positional battle, but Battalion Commander Xu saw that Qiu Rong's troops were menacing, and he always did not have much confidence in Bai Chengjiang's orders in his heart. That's why I'm uneasy, anxious like ants on a hot pot. The Qiu Rong troops in front of the position had already begun to charge, although they were uneasy, but Battalion Commander Xu also knew that he had to go to the front line to personally command, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people to the greatest extent and drag down the enemy's advance.

Camp Commander Xu's idea was undoubtedly correct, but he overestimated Qiu Rong's strength, not only his Camp Commander Xu, but also Bai Chengjiang's strength was also underestimated. Although Qiu Rong charged, she did not attack all the way, but planted an ambush in the right rear of the 177 position in advance. This ambush had already slipped to the ambush point before Qiu Rong eliminated the other party's 400 people, and if it wasn't for the successful ambush of this ambush, Qiu Rong would definitely not attack the middle lane, but would have played a false shot, and after walking around the middle lane for a while, he would advance to the right side.

The onslaught on both the front and the side attracted all the attention of Battalion Commander Xu, and after seven minutes, the army finally charged, attacking in three directions, and it happened suddenly, and it was too late for Battalion Commander Xu's defense line to be readjusted. In less than fifteen minutes, the 177th position fell, and the strength of a battalion or so under the commander of the Xu battalion was completely annihilated.

In the final analysis, this battle is to surprise and attack unprepared, who would have thought that Qiu Rong would lay an ambush as soon as she left the right position! Not to mention that Camp Chief Xu didn't expect it, even Bai Chengjiang didn't think of this problem. According to Bai Chengjiang's estimates, although the 177 position has only 500 people, less than one-third of the opponent's number, it should not be a problem to defend for half an hour, as long as it drags on for half an hour, Bai Chengjiang can transfer troops to cut off Qiu Rong's rear road, carry out a front and rear attack, eliminate Qiu Rong's troops, and consume the offensive strength of the fifth army, so that he can win the exercise.

After Qiu Rong captured the 177th position, she looked at the time, did not rest the troops, and directly advanced towards the 175th position. After Qiu Rong left the 177 position, Shen Jiabing ordered the armored battalion near the 179 position to advance to the center, even if it could not support Qiu Rong's troops, so that Qiu Rong would have no worries when attacking. After all, the armored battalion still has a lot of ground propulsion capabilities in terms of offense. To a certain extent, it can prevent people from closing quickly.

In the general command room of the Sixth Army, Bai Chengjiang was stunned for a while when he heard that the 177th position had been lost, and then muttered to himself for a long time: "I underestimated their offensive ability, I should have been able to think of her strength a long time ago, and she had outstanding performance in the last exercise." After Bai Chengjiang finished speaking, he sighed secretly, the loss of the 177 position also disintegrated Bai Chengjiang's key defensive tactics, and it would have a great impact on Bai Chengjiang's next defense. Bai Chengjiang didn't know if his troops could withstand the attack of Qiu Rong's troops.

Bai Chengjiang thought about it for a long time, and finally ordered the rearrangement of the defense line and the withdrawal of the defense line to the rear, so that he could concentrate his forces for defense to the greatest extent and not ignore it. Of course, in this way, it will also be a blow to the morale of the entire army, and the pressure on the defense will increase a lot. Any position that is breached means exposing one's main base to the enemy's nose.

Before Bai Chengjiang made this decision, he had even considered whether to give up the initiative to attack, withdraw the attacking troops, and deal with Qiurong's troops first, but in this way, Bai Chengjiang was worried that the Fifth Army would give the order to chase and intercept, and if the withdrawal failed, it would cut off his own attacking troops.

Shen Jiabing of the Fifth Unit was in a good mood when he heard the good news from the front, and he hurriedly held an operational meeting to discuss the next tactical arrangement.
