Chapter 979: Miserable Fourth Army

When I came to the military headquarters, as soon as the helicopter landed, I saw the senior commander of the military headquarters who had rushed to hear the news, and it was Turi who led the way, and the military headquarters was located in a hilly and inconspicuous village, and the people of the village had already been resettled in the town to live, for which the Fourth Army also paid a sum of money.

The bottom of the village has been hollowed out, leading directly to the bottom of the hill behind the village, the hill is not low, it must be about 200 meters above sea level, and about 300 meters below is an underground bomb shelter, reinforced with 10 meters of concrete, even if it is a ground-penetrating missile, there is no way. In normal times, everyone works in the village above ground, and only goes underground when there is an enemy.

After some politeness, everyone went straight to the headquarters, a farmhouse yard, the yard has been rearranged, you can't see the breath of peasant life, there is a sand table in the living room, a military map is hung on the wall, there are guards standing guard everywhere, confidential personnel are busy nervously, there is a small house next door to the hall, which has been cleaned up into a conference room.

"Everyone is here, right?" Zao Wou-Ki asked.

"It's all here." Turi hurriedly said.

"Then let's have a meeting, let's just stand in front of the sand table, so convenient, except for the participants, others leave temporarily, pay attention to vigilance, and no one else can approach." Zao Wou-Ki said.

"No problem, it's the same for them to go underground to work, everyone wants the air on the ground to work here." Turi hastened to explain, giving orders to the others.

In less than three minutes, everyone went underground, and Zao Wou-Ki smiled with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you usually have training in this area?" ”

Turi's face darkened, and he sighed sadly: "Isn't this all forced out by the enemy's bombardment, it's been a few days, once or twice a day, each time for about half an hour, and it stopped today." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, we will have a chance to report this revenge in the future, and talk about the situation in your defense area." Zao Wou-Ki said.

"Yes. The president has strategized and annihilated the enemy's middle route army with one plan, which is very happy, and he must avenge our Fourth Army, and our situation here is like this. Turi hurriedly pointed to the sand table and said: "The three divisions are arranged in a zigzag shape, the 10th Division is arranged in the southwest direction of the military headquarters, and the position is relatively forward, the 11th Division is in the southeast, and the 12th Division is in front of the military headquarters. As he spoke, he pointed to three different positions.

"These days, the enemy's attack was very ferocious, and the 11th Division, which was close to the sea, was devastated by the enemy's ship-borne guns and fighters, and suffered heavy losses in fortifications and a third of its personnel. The enemy's ground forces attacked from the southwest, inflicting a great blow on the 10th Division, losing half of its strength, losing most of the front-line positions, and the 10th Division had to retreat to the divisional defense. The only one that could still move was the 12th Division, but it was attacked from the air, the losses were not large, the fortifications were still intact, and more than 300 people were reduced. Turi hurriedly said.

Zao Wou-Ki's expression was awe-inspiring, he never expected the Fourth Army to suffer such a big loss, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as heavy, it can be judged from the description in the picture that the enemy adopted an aerial bombing strategy for the southeast troops of the Fourth Army, and an attack of ground troops on the southwest of the Fourth Army, which was conducive to counteracting with the Middle Route Army, and now the Middle Route Army was destroyed by itself, and the enemy's Eastern Route Army had to retreat.

After thinking about it, after Zhao Wou-Ki had a general understanding of the situation, he couldn't help but ponder, in the past few days, the casualties of the Fourth Army have been reduced by a total of one division, that is to say, only two divisions can be used, and he couldn't help asking: "According to the battle plan you reported, the main thing is to adopt guerrilla tactics, what is the enemy's casualties?" ”

"The enemy is very cunning, when we launch guerrilla warfare with companies and platoons as units, the enemy fights with us with battalions and companies as units, and when our combat units improve, they also improve, it is completely guerrilla tactics against guerrilla tactics, with their sophisticated weapons and helicopter gunships, we are very passive, and the enemy's losses are not large, and it is expected that no more than 500 people will die."

Hearing this, Zao Wou-Ki couldn't help but be surprised, there was no division on his side, that was more than 3,000 people, but the enemy only had 500 dead, although many soldiers on his side were hit by precision bombing, but it was not so much more than the battle loss, right? Five hundred to three thousand is more, which is equivalent to one to seven.

"Huh?" Zao Wouji's face became solemn, while Tuli and the others next to him lowered their heads in shame, and the battle was like this, and everyone couldn't hold their faces.

"Didn't I equip you with a flexible artillery?" Zao Wou-Ki asked. The so-called artillery with high flexibility and performance is the kind that can fire 24 guns at a time with an artillery launcher mounted on the carriage of a military vehicle, which is very powerful and has a long strike distance.

"If it weren't for artillery, the enemy's losses would not have been so great, but as soon as our artillery vehicles appeared, they were immediately bombed by enemy fighters, the enemy's reconnaissance capability is very high, there are many fighters, and the air superiority is too strong, and many artillery pieces of various divisions have been bombed, and many of them have been unusable." Turi hastened to explain.

"Why is the enemy's intelligence so accurate?" Zao Wou-Ki asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Turi lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Well, I can't blame you for this, it's our opponent who is too strong." Zao Wou-Ki didn't want to put too much pressure on Tuli, after all, everyone had to fight the battle in the future.

"Thank you, President, the battle is like this, it has a lot to do with my command, and I am willing to accept any punishment." Turi said immediately.

"Punishment? What to dispose of? It is good that you can hold off 40,000 well-equipped enemies, but your tactics are really not flexible enough, so let's do it, the 11th Division in the southeast direction is too close to the sea, and the enemy's shipborne guns can be directly covered, so immediately withdraw to the left flank of the military headquarters within 20 kilometers, as long as you can avoid the enemy's shipborne guns, hide in place, there is no fortification cover, you must be prepared for air defense. Zao Wou-Ki admonished.

"Yes." The commander of the 11th Division hurriedly agreed.

"However, in this way, our eastern flank will be completely gone, and the enemy can completely go north along the coast line and detour back behind us, and we will be very passive." Turi hurriedly reminded.

"I understand that there are many towns concentrated along the coast, and the navy is most familiar with the terrain of that area, and I will arrange for them to fight guerrilla attacks there and drag the enemy, because they have small targets, are agile, and familiar with the terrain, and the enemy's artillery and aircraft will not be able to find the target." Zao Wou-Ki said.

The members of the navy are all composed of people from the coastal towns in the east, the place is familiar, and they are guarding their hometowns, and their combat effectiveness will definitely be very strong, mixed with the people, the enemy will not be able to find it at all, unless the enemy begins to massacre civilians, and it is the enemy who can't eat and walk around.

Moreover, this tactic is very suitable for the navy, because the navy is composed of pirates who were born in robberies, and Zhou Qi is also very familiar with this tactic, handed over to more than 10,000 navies to defend coastal towns, Zao Wou-Ki is still very relieved, even if the enemy does not attack coastal towns, the navy is also the dream of the enemy, and has to divide heavy forces to guard, if used properly, it will definitely be able to drag the enemy twice as much as the enemy, the enemy's East Route Army is just dead, and the remaining 20,000 are easy to deal with, with the remaining strength of the Fourth Army, it is not without the power of a battle.

After thinking about the importance of the navy, Zao Wou-Ki decided to personally call Zhou Qi for a while to explain clearly, in addition to the lack of troops and the enemy's firepower, another reason for the failure of the Fourth Army was intelligence, the enemy actually mastered the intelligence of the Fourth Army, of course, it was inseparable from the enemy's information warfare capability, but the Fourth Army's information capability was too weak.

Everyone saw that Zao Wou-Ki decisively changed his strategy and handed over the coastal towns to the navy, and they all relaxed their hearts, everyone was a shrewd person, and naturally understood the benefits of doing this, but Turi still didn't want to go, after all, it was his own defense area, so he said: "According to the original distribution, the coastal towns belong to our army's defense area, and now they are handed over to the navy, so is the navy's defense area too big?" ”

According to the plan, the navy is also the first line of coastal defense, mainly concentrated on the first-line coast, an area more than 1,000 kilometers long and 50 kilometers wide, while the 11th Division of the Fourth Army is mainly on the second-line coastline, that is, the main concentration area of cities and towns 50 kilometers away.

"Your worries are justified, but now that the enemy's middle route army has no pressure for the time being, the coastline in the central region does not need to be defended, and the navy can be transferred up and concentrated on the northeastern coastline." Zao Wou-Ki said.

There are three areas defended by the navy, the central, southeastern, and northeastern, all of which are lined up in a line, all of which are first-line coastal areas.

"The pressure in the southeast is also very great, once the southeast is lost, the enemy can smoothly attack from the west of our country and directly reach our mountain base." Turi said.

"Yes, the pressure in the southeast is very great, but your pressure is even greater, and then dozens of kilometers to the northeast will be to the capital, although our office is no longer the capital, but the capital is the capital after all, the symbolism is very great, it can't be lost, okay, this matter is decided, at present, there is no movement in the southwest, and part of Hailey's Third Army can be appropriately transferred to support Sham's Second Army." Zao Wou-Ki explained calmly.

As soon as everyone heard this, they stopped talking, the original three-way enemy army has become two-way, and their own side naturally has to be adjusted, the second army is a force that can fight, the last time country A fought, that is, the second army undertook the main battle, captured the enemy nearly 7,000 prisoners alive, with the support of the third army, it should not be a big problem to block the enemy's attack, not to mention that there is also a part of the navy on the first-line coast with guerrilla tactics to drag the enemy's logistics and the like.

Turi is no longer competitive, the Fourth Army has suffered heavy losses, there is no need to affect the entire battle situation for a small face, once the Fourth Army defense area is forced, the enemy will directly attack the capital, directly to the mountain base, where will it be troublesome, in comparison, it is nothing to give up a part of the defense area for the navy to help defend.

"The Fourth Army has suffered heavy losses, how to fight next, I want to hear what you mean." Zao Wou-Ki once again brought the topic to the point, and glanced around the audience with a calm gaze.

Everyone was silent, how to fight the next battle, everyone didn't have much confidence in their hearts, after all, they were facing the first military power, they didn't have enough troops in their hands, and their weapons couldn't catch up, especially the lack of air defense and intelligence, everyone was a little bit of a clever woman who couldn't cook without rice.

"It seems that everyone has no confidence in their hearts?" Zao Wouji's face turned a little unkind, and he said.

"President, we are not afraid of death, but the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, and we are not unwilling to fight, but we have no combat experience in this area, and we dare not make a decision easily." Turi said truthfully.
