Chapter 67: Anglo-African Armageddon (1)
Soon after the regiment retreated, the British, who had just retreated, once again rushed over with several times the number of people at the beginning, and there was a burst of artillery bombardment on the empty position, and after the shelling was over, the British rushed to the position and found that the position left by the enemy at this time was empty. The angry major general who led the team scolded loudly, angry and angry, but it was also a good thing for himself that the enemy retreated. So the British continued to march forward.
The African People's Army observers, who were hiding not far away, were taken aback when they looked at the miles of British troops, because the number of troops in the number of miles was usually in the hundreds of thousands, and then several observers took out the radio they carried with them and reported what they had seen to the front command.
Nebron and Jeriola in the front command department said excitedly after seeing this information: "The opportunity for a decisive battle has arrived, I thought we would have to spend a lot of time, but I didn't expect the British to cooperate with us to get in by ourselves." The two of them were extremely excited, and in the past few days, they learned that the British had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress them, and they and others could not sleep well. It's like a year.
"Hehe, can we take this battle as a great gift to the Queen of England?" Jeriola smiled and said to Nebron:
"I'm afraid that this great gift we gave will not be the Queen of England, and it is better for us to give it to our comrade chairman." Nibron shrugged his shoulders and grinned. As one of the people who has followed Lee Jun Ho for the longest time, Ni Brown knows Lee Jun Ho's temper well, so in the entire African People's Army, he is also the only one who dares to make fun of Lee Jun Ho.
Then several telegrams were sent to the headquarters of the two people, almost all of them were urgent telegrams that the front-line blocking troops were defeated by the British army, the first division, the second division, and the third division, almost as soon as they encountered the British army, the British launched a crazy attack on them, and the casualties of various units continued to rise, although they received the order to fight and retreat, but the British bit their tails and did not let go. In particular, the first division was surrounded by the four divisions of the other side as a decoy force, and it could not break through, and the tanks of the tank regiment basically became solid turrets. Not only that, the British put on a posture to eat a division, intending to end the battle as soon as possible, and adopted the tactics of wheel warfare. What tanks, shelling, large corps assaults. Even the Air Force was dispatched to participate in aerial bombing operations.
The main forces of the British were fighting to the death with the 1st Division, but the 2nd and 3rd Divisions were also facing several times the fierce attack of the enemy. However, this style of play of the British caused a serious imbalance in the deployment of British troops on the front line, which obviously created an opportunity for the African People's Army to annihilate the 50,000 troops on their left side. As long as they deployed the strength of an army in the center, then the British army's plan to rescue the army on the left would go bankrupt. Once the British army rescues the army on the left, then the army on the right side will leak its back to Wu Jun and the Sixth Army in ambush on the right, creating favorable conditions for our army to completely annihilate the attacking British army.
During this period of time, Nebron and Jeriola have been paying close attention to the information of the British troops assembled in Lindy Province, so they have constantly commanded their own troops to make military deployments, and the reason why they do this is simply to mobilize the strength of the entire African People's Army Eastern Route Army, and fight a large-scale annihilation battle with the British in Lindy and Mutawara provinces. The follow-up British army completely lost the courage to attack the base area.
However, the development of this general battle is not to be achieved all at once, but to be carried out step by step, and he must lead the British by the nose to the greatest extent. Let them take the initiative to come out and fight me, step by step put all their forces into it, and finally eat them.
In order to realize this battle plan, Nebron and Jeriola made a careful plan, and then the two detained all the main troops in the hands of Lee Junhao and deployed them here, and carried out a series of deployments, so that the small force could hit the British army hard, and the British commander was angry and lost his mind, and put all the troops into it. If this plan is realized, then these British troops will basically be finished, and the future battles will be easy to fight.
"Send a telegram to all the division commanders and corps commanders of the army on the left, it's time to tell them, they can attack." Nibron looked at the map, touched his chin and said, "In addition, tell them to solve it quickly, don't be petty, this time we have to do a big ticket." ”
The commander of the First Army, Luo Jiali, is currently temporarily the commander-in-chief of the left legion, and at the same time, he is also in accordance with the strategic arrangement of Nibron and Jeriola. Took over the command of another army and formed the commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army.
"Okay, I'll send the report." A confidential officer next to him said:
When Luo Jiali received the telegram and read it several times in a row, he finally made sure that he had not misread any of its contents, and was finally about to attack, and he and his army had been waiting for this moment for a long time, since the British army attacked the first, second, and third divisions, watching them be beaten and unable to fight back, the fortifications on the positions were destroyed by the enemy again and again, and were built again and again by the soldiers at the risk of their lives. The fortifications were then destroyed by the enemy. Repair and dismantle like this. Watch here yourself. In this way, he felt very cowardly and aggrieved.
After a long wait, Luo Jiali finally got this battle order to attack, how could this not make him excited.
The telegram sent by Nebron and Geriola to Rogara was simple, that is, he was asked to mobilize four infantry divisions and two tank divisions and two heavy artillery divisions of the two corps on the left, for a total of eight divisions. Divided into two flanks, the left and right wings, and the two divisions of the 2nd and 3rd divisions launched an attack on the positions of the British troops, and this assault must achieve the combat mission within 10 hours. Then, on the north side of the two divisions, the division company and the second and third divisions inside and outside, completely annihilated the main force of the British army on the left.
Undoubtedly, this telegram of the attack only gave Kagasa the territory to attack and the objectives of the campaign that must be achieved, as for the rest, such as how the battle should be fought. The assault methods in both directions were not mentioned, which made Luo Jiali realize that the above two were delegating all the power to himself, and on the contrary, he was fully responsible for the responsibility of the station and the battle. It is good that the war is won, and he has a great credit, but if it fails, he has to bear all the responsibility.
Luo Jiali, the most important soldier, was not afraid to bear any responsibility, he was just afraid that his command of the operation would fail, which would seriously affect the overall situation of the operation. Therefore, Luo Jiali made careful arrangements for this battle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the battle order of the General Headquarters has been issued, we need not hesitate any longer," said Roga Kasa, raising the telegram in his hand and speaking to the many officers in the headquarters, "I now order that the attack on the British troops on the left shall begin in an hour, but I demand that before my soldiers charge, your two heavy artillery divisions and the auxiliary artillery regiments of each division must pour all the shells in their hands on the British positions, and I will let the British go to their God in the flames." ”
