Chapter 971: Trap Completed

Command of the Middle Route Army.

When the lieutenant general heard the news that officers had been sniped in succession, he thought that the troops below were worried about the casualties being too great, and they wanted to disobey the order after finding a reason, but they didn't take it seriously, just let the special forces kill the opponent or drive them away.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel, without the command of the basic officer, the unit will not be able to fight at all, and what is even worse is that the staff officer with the gendarmerie was sniped before he arrived at the front line, and he was shot in the head, and the death was extremely miserable, and the gendarmerie had to come back with the body of the staff officer.

Snipers can't change the tide of battle, but they can influence it.

When the lieutenant general saw the corpse of the staff officer, before he could get angry, another piece of information came, and all the special forces sent out had lost contact. The lieutenant general didn't need to think about it to know what was going on, so he couldn't help but face up to the matter, immediately let his intelligence staff officers investigate the situation, and immediately convened a meeting at and above the division level.

Half an hour later, all the cadres at and above the division level gathered, and the situation of each division was quickly summed up, and the situation of this division in the middle was the worst, and more than 50 officers had died, all of them were at the battalion and regiment level, and there were many at the company level, so that the troops could not command at all.

The attacking troops on both sides are fine, they have not suffered the fate of figuring out, if the troops on both sides force the attack, there is no firepower in the middle to make up for it, it is a very dangerous thing, the lieutenant general is not stupid, seeing that it is lunch time, the troops have been attacking continuously all morning, they are tired, and need to rest, so they issued an order to suspend the attack and rest on the spot, and plan to wait for the recovery.

After letting the chief of staff give this order, the lieutenant general immediately sat down in his position again, looked at everyone with cold eyes, and said slowly and firmly: "In the morning of the attack, we only advanced twenty kilometers, and there are still thirty kilometers to reach the enemy's military headquarters, which is still far from our set goal, but we must take the enemy's military headquarters before dark." ”

All the officers were silent, thinking about the possibility of this task in their hearts, and they no longer had the intention of fighting for the first prize, mainly because the enemy troops who blocked were too desperate, and almost they were not afraid of death, and the death ratio was as high as one to one, which made it difficult for everyone to accept, you must know that every soldier is very valuable.

"What, don't you speak?" The lieutenant general asked dissatisfiedly: "Fighting, death is inevitable, if we make such a big sacrifice and can't take a remnant of the First Army's headquarters that was bombed by the air force for three days and three nights, then what face do we have to wear this clothes?" ”

Everyone was embarrassed to close their eyes slightly and stopped talking.

"Listen to me, you must take the enemy's military headquarters before dark, otherwise, I don't mind changing people." The lieutenant general shouted coldly.

Everyone looked dazed, they all cheered up, captured the enemy's military headquarters, the greatest honor is the lieutenant general, but they can't take the replacement, what they lose is their own interests, in front of interests, what is human life? Anyway, it's not yourself who died, and you won the first credit, and you are still worried about the problem of replenishing troops?

The frightened officers cheered up and regained their form.

The lieutenant general smiled with satisfaction, and after a few words, he announced the adjournment of the meeting, and after lunch, the lieutenant general was about to give the order to attack, when he saw his intelligence staff officer come over with a bad face, saluted and said: "The attacking troops on the left side have also been sniped, and thirty-seven officers have died, including twenty-one company-level officers, and the others are battalion-level officers. ”

"Oh? Why does the enemy repeatedly snipe our officers? Why is it interfering with our communication signals? This is just a little delay for us, is the enemy trying to delay our attack in this way? It's a joke. The lieutenant general said coldly, taking over the information.

"Commander, although this is not a big problem for us and does not affect the situation of the battle, it can indeed delay our offensive time, reappoint officers, and master the troops It will take a certain amount of time, maybe we can't conquer the enemy's military headquarters in the dark?" The chief of staff cautioned.

"Well, even if you can't, you have to surround the enemy's military headquarters, if I'm not mistaken, the enemy should want to block until after dark, so that you can take advantage of the night to retreat, during the day we have reconnaissance planes and fighters, they don't dare to run, what do you think?" The commander asked.

"The military seat is wise, this possibility is very high, so we must go to the enemy's military headquarters, make a threatening gesture, and prevent them from running, and when it dawns tomorrow, they will have nowhere to run." The chief of staff laughed.

"You go and give an order, let everyone not relax, immediately reappoint the officers, continue to attack and fight according to the plan, and in addition, send fighter jets into the battle, and be sure to clear the road." The lieutenant general said coldly.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the attack was once again fierce, but the army also showed incredible tenacity, desperately resisting, constantly relying on favorable terrain to resist and suffering heavy losses.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Zao Wou-Ki returned to the military headquarters of the First Army with people, and everyone's hearts fell, if Zao Wou-Ki had three longs and two shorts, then there was no need to fight this battle, and the troops were withdrawn directly, and once again returned to the era of armed secession on the spot.

Looking at Fufeng, who had a bad face, Zao Wou-Ki didn't know Fufeng's worries, and in the afternoon of the three-hour blockade, the strength of one division was heavily damaged, and two-thirds of the troops were reduced, and the casualties were huge, and with the participation of fighters in the battle, the losses were obviously much smaller.

The consumption of troops is too great, and the consumption of ammunition is also very large, and the first army is only half an army's strength when it is full, and only five or six thousand people from more than 10,000 people can continue to fight, which makes it difficult for Fufeng to accept, but the plan was set by Zao Wouji, and he agreed at that time, and Fufeng is not good to oppose now, and he barely squeezed out a smile, Fufeng didn't know what to say.

"It's more than five o'clock, and part of the enemy's troops is resting in our predetermined place, and I saw it when I came, and if I guessed correctly, there should be no more action tonight, and after more than three hours of continuous attack, the enemy is also tired, and it's time for us to unveil it." Zao Wou-Ki said.

When Fu Feng heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he walked to the sand table in three or two steps, his face changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When the other officers around saw this scene and heard Zao Wou-ki's words, they all became puzzled, they didn't understand what cards to unveil, how could they unveil the plaque when the battle was like this?

"Pass my order, all troops shrink to the military headquarters, and rely on fortifications to block the enemy." Fufeng immediately issued the agreed battle plan, and everyone was stunned.

The enemy's *** soldiers are pressing the border, according to reason, they should retreat, and if they don't save their strength, they still have to fight the enemy here, what is this? Things were weird, but everyone didn't want to ask too much, and they carried out the order.

The attacking troops saw that the ambush troops in front of them suddenly had no combat effectiveness, and hurriedly retreated to the rear, and this situation was immediately reported to the lieutenant general, who looked at the information curiously, looked at the sky, and asked: "How is the morale of the troops now?" ”

"The morale is very high, but the continuous battles, every battle is so hard, now that it is dinner time, there is no way to continue the attack, moreover, the enemy is now shrinking into a fist, all hiding in underground fortifications, the fighters have no way, and time does not allow, so, I propose to rest for one night, and fight again tomorrow, a remnant of the army is defeated, there is no need to worry." The chief of staff proposed.

"That makes sense, we have wiped out more than 5,000 enemies along the way, right?" The commander asked.

"Yes, after three days and three nights of bombardment, I estimate that there are not many of the more than 10,000 people left in the First Army, and we have eliminated more than 6,000 people, and there may be no more than a thousand people left." The chief of staff analyzed.

"Your analysis is reasonable, the bombardment of three days and three nights, if you don't blow them up, you generally have to have a third, I think, let the troops rest on the spot, the troops are too tired, attack again tomorrow morning, take the enemy's military headquarters for breakfast." The lieutenant general said approvingly.

The troops immediately stopped the attack and rested on the spot, and the resting place was Blackfish Ridge, which made Zhao Wouji, who was hiding in the military headquarters of the First Army, excited, but looked at Fufeng quietly on his face, Fufeng nodded, and also showed a knowing smile, seeing that the officers and soldiers around him were confused, and they were still in the mood to laugh when the battle was at this point, what was wrong with this?

At this time, Zao Wou-Ki shook hands with Fu Feng and said, "I'll leave it to you here, everything will go according to the plan, you must pay attention to confidentiality, I'll go first." ”

"Don't worry, I know what to do, you take care." Fufeng said firmly.

As soon as Zhao Wou-Ki left, Fu Feng immediately shouted: "Guard Company, *** all passages, no one is allowed to leave the fortifications without authorization, otherwise it will be killed." ”

"Yes." The commander of the guard company shouted the order and went.

This order made everyone inexplicable, and everyone looked at Fufeng, waiting for an explanation.

Fu Feng said murderously: "The battle has come to this point, we have suffered huge losses, this revenge is not good, I can tell you now, tonight will be the time for us to counterattack, the specific arrangements will be notified to you when the time comes, now, your task is to restrain the troops to rest, as long as the enemy does not attack, we will sleep." ”

What is this command? Everyone was dumbfounded, but they still unswervingly carried out the order, and everyone saw the confident expression on Fufeng's face, and their hearts were a little more steady.

Only Fufeng himself knows best, whether he can win, whether he can avenge his brothers, everything will be known tonight, whether he can succeed or not, Fufeng has no bottom at all, but Fufeng is still willing to be crazy with Zao Wou-ki, success is famous, defeat is nothing.

This is definitely a big gamble, a big gamble without any certainty, everything is based on trust, Fufeng trusts Zao Wou-Ki to bring miracles to everyone, so he bets on the lives of all the officers and soldiers and his own family.

Looking at everyone's not very confident expressions, Fufeng smiled bitterly in his heart and prayed silently, hoping that he could succeed. Seeing Fufeng's expression, the chief of staff of the army walked up and comforted: "Big brother, are you worried?" ”

"What do you say?" Fufeng asked rhetorically, thought for a moment, and continued: "This is all the brothers. ”

"Risk and profit are directly proportional, if you want to get high profits, you have to take high risks, not to mention that our odds of winning are not low." said the Chief of the General Staff of the Army.
