Chapter 156: Suddenly Heading South

"General, Lieutenant Ya's squad has been attacked by wolves, and they have been forced to withdraw from the woods, and the situation of the opponent is now out of control. "The adjutant of the dragoon battalion is reporting to the battalion commander, Lieutenant General Owen.

"Where are the last Franks?" Lieutenant General Owen leaned on the map, the red pencil in his hand moving little by little in the direction they had traveled.

"They were last seen here!" the lieutenant nodded at a location on the map, which was directly in front of Admiral Owen's line.

"Here?" the lieutenant general picked up the ruler and sent it to the line drawn before him, and then the line stretched out, he straightened up, threw his pencil on the map, and said, "These guys want to go around our left flank, hum, good idea, but in the wrong place!"

After speaking, he held his chin and thought about it, and after a short time, he suddenly asked the adjutant: "Where is the thirteenth division?"

"To the east of us, almost a day's journey!"

"Very well, order them to arrive within six hours! Build a defensive line to the east of us, and not let these Franks escape. The lieutenant general's order quickly passed through the adjutant's mouth and passed to the 13th Division in the distance.

On the map, the third company of the dragoon battalion has been deployed, they have been moving on the left flank, however, no trace of the Franks has been found, they need to be more careful, the lieutenant general thought of this, and ordered again: "Order the third company, slow down, search forward in squads, let them pay attention to their left side, the opponent is likely to want to slide over from the left side! Order the third company to find the opponent!" After thinking about it, he continued to order: "The first company is interspersed to the east, let them go to the left of the third company!"

"Where is the Fourth Company?" the lieutenant general did not look up, but asked casually.

"Twenty kilometers south of the battalion headquarters company!" A voice came, and the lieutenant general raised his head and smiled at the owner of the voice: "The chief of staff is back!

"There is no good news, the military department has not said a word about the intelligence department's actions this time, and it can even be said that it supports it wholeheartedly, and our appeal is useless. The chief of staff of the major general took off his coat, threw it on a marching chair, walked to the edge of the map, and marked the location of the fourth company for the lieutenant general.

"I'm glad to see that you can still calm down and command!" the Major General looked at the lieutenant general with a smile.

"you, don't you know me yet? Go to the order, I will have an opinion, but in terms of execution, I will not be ambiguous!" said the lieutenant general, rolling his eyes.

After speaking, he took the pen handed by the major general and drew a circle on the position of the fourth company, and then pulled out a line, and the end of the line was behind the first and second companies.

"The fourth company pressed behind the first company and the second company, arranged three lines of defense, and the battalion headquarters company and the battalion headquarters followed up, arranged behind the fourth company, and supported the front line at any time!" The lieutenant general pushed his position forward at the same time.

The major general nodded and didn't say anything, this arrangement is okay, he got the news from his good friends in the military department, their opponent is the direct force of the princess of the Frankish Empire, and the combat effectiveness is strong, don't look at the small army of only seven people, but the combat effectiveness is very strong, and the general troops are not their opponents.

No one will doubt the elite of the dragoon battalion, but in just thirty minutes, the battalion headquarters and the battalion headquarters company have already embarked on the journey, the major general and the lieutenant general rode side by side, and the major general said to the lieutenant general: "Old man, don't have any complaints, the opponent is not simple." ”

"Hmph, no matter how simple it is, so what? It can still be a direct force of the royal family of the Frankish Empire?"

"Old man, you are really right this time, the opponent is the princess of the Frankish Empire, do you say it is a direct army of the royal family? How about it? You are not wronged by the first combat unit of the Angsa Empire to deal with the royal troops of the Frankish Empire, right?" said the major general with a smile to the lieutenant general.

"Ahh His shouts immediately caused the battalion headquarters and the battalion headquarters company to respond in unison, and morale was high for a while.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th, after a morning break, Yu Wusheng and they were on the road again, and by four o'clock, Ingram and Yinfeng brought back the latest information, Yu Wuming and Bell slowed down and spread the map on the back of the Earth Dragon, and Vivien also fell from the sky, riding with Yu Wuming and Bell, and studying the situation of cash that was becoming more and more unfavorable to them.

Judging from the configuration of each small unit, the other side has five companies, and one company in front of us has been dispersed into a squad-based search form, and there is a company on each flank behind them, these two companies are in a tight formation, there is no scattered situation, and behind these two companies, there are two companies catching up. Yu Wuming marked the enemy situation on the map.

Bell frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "The other side is sick, why are you concentrating your forces on one line? Aren't you afraid that we will go around from both sides? Besides, we are now making a detour to their left flank, and they haven't found out?"

"They found out, right because they found out, this is so arranged that the enemy wants to thicken their front, so that we can't break through at once, they want to delay our speed with the thickness of the battle formation, as for the two wings, they don't have to worry anymore, at least they think so!

The 13th Division of the Angsa was still half a day's way from our right flank, and if they hurried overnight, they would have strangled us to death on the eastern route by tomorrow morning.

To the west, the 8th Barbarian Regiment will reach our left flank at ten o'clock tonight, and form an encirclement with the troops in front of us!" Yu Wuming drew a troop cluster on each side of the small circle that represented them, and they were about to become a sparrow in a birdcage.

"And what about behind us?" Vivien looked south on the map, where there was only one battalion of troops, and this battalion they had defeated.

"What the enemy hopes most now is that if we turn to the south, then the enemy will squeeze through from all sides, and as long as the search battalion in the south holds out for a day, the enemy's troops on the other three sides can surround us. Bell said.

"That's right, that's what the enemy thinks now, so we can't go south, and we must rush over before the enemy closes in!" Yu Wuming's hand swiped firmly to the northeast, passing through the gap between the 13th Division and the frontal dragoons.

"Then we can't wait any longer, we need to speed up, otherwise we ......" Vivien didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Yu Wuxing: "Yes, we can't go so slowly!"

Yu Wuming took the reins, and everyone behind him stopped, their eyes fell on him, and Yu Wuming said: "We are now going south, the enemy's dragoon squad is behind us, we must penetrate them with one blow and attack the search battalion of the enemy's 13th Division at half past six in the evening." ”

The big furniture was stunned, and just now it was still saying that it was going to speed up to the north and rush through the junction of the enemy's two armies, how could it become a breakthrough to the south?

"Commander, isn't it farther away from the Yalong Valley to break through to the south?, and don't you say that as long as the search battalion drags us for a day, they will surround us?" asked Hans anxiously.

"Can we run to Malmedy at two o'clock in the morning?" asked Hans suddenly.

"No!" replied Hans categorically.

"The enemy's dragoons can run at two o'clock in the morning, the vanguard cavalry company of the enemy's thirteenth division can run, and the follow-up troops of the enemy's thirteenth division can arrive in the next half hour to two hours, what if we continue to charge at Malmedi?"

"Uh~, we'll throw ourselves into the net. What then?" asked Hans, scratching his head.

"We will assault to the south, make a posture of breaking through to the south, and let the opponent move south as a whole, as long as they move south, there will inevitably be gaps exposed, and then it will be the time for us to break through! Okay, the strategic intention has been told to you, now we will go south!" Yu Wuming finished speaking, not waiting for everyone to ask questions, and rushed south first.

Bell and Vivien followed, and soon an assault formation had been formed, and Adam could not have imagined that the opponent would suddenly kill them back, and before they could understand it, the opponent had already rushed past them, and did not even kill them.

But fortunately, they were on the mainland road, and there was no wolf harassment, so they immediately compiled this situation into simple information, and reported it to their battalion commander with a letter falcon, and after doing this, they immediately turned around and chased Yu Wuming south.

By seven o'clock, it was already completely dark, and the information sent by the first Falcon had been read seven or eight times by Lieutenant General Owen, and he had not been able to make up his mind, and the opponent suddenly turned to the south, apparently already understanding that they were blocking them on the road ahead, how could their reconnaissance be so good?

Of course, maybe it's just a coincidence, the opponent may be out of food again, and wants to go back to the search battalion of the 13th Division, get some food and run, but there is another possibility, that is, they will kill back the carbine, once again assault the junction of his battalion and the 13th Division, and jump out between the two troops.

At half past seven, the new letter falcon arrived, and the information reached him for the first time, and the enemy made a strong assault on the right flank of the search battalion, piercing a hole in the right flank of the search, and after penetration, he turned west, as if he wanted to go around behind the barbarian eighth regiment.

Adam and they had already grabbed the tail of their opponent, and the two sides fought fiercely again, Adam lost two men again, while his opponent only had three minor injuries, and Adam had to retreat. But Adam's pursuit once again caused his opponent to turn south, and it seemed that his opponent was not having a good time.

Owen looked at the chief of staff and asked, "Old man, what are we going to do?"

"You already have a case! Don't ask me! However, I suggest that the battalion headquarters company and the battalion headquarters stay here and stay still, and the fourth company and the first, second, and third companies should be slightly distanced, so that we can have some leeway. When the enemy broke through the Rhine before, he was very cunning!" said the major general, bringing a glass of water to Lieutenant General Owen.

"Okay, I understand, order the whole army to move south, notify the Thirteenth Division and the Eighth Regiment of the Barbarians, move south as a whole, oppress the enemy's space, and it is best to press them back to the south bank of the Rhine!" the herald faithfully recorded Owen's order, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Two hours later, the dragoon battalion was busy again, and all the troops began to slowly move south, and four hours later, the fourth company went south, and six hours later, the battalion headquarters company and battalion headquarters set off.

Every movement of the enemy fell into the eyes of Ingram and Yinfeng, and the news of the enemy's southward movement was immediately transmitted to Yu Wusheng, who immediately stopped going south, and they quietly bypassed the search battalion of the 13th Division and rushed towards Malmedy again.
