Jiang Haoran said with a smile: "Chief Bai, I will never play all the cards in my hand at once, even if the first three divisions suffered heavy casualties, and they are facing the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Tenth Army of the Island Army, but I believe that they have not yet reached the point where they need to be rescued, and the special operations division and the new third division are by no means as you think, it will take three to five days to resolve this crisis, you see, the situation will be completely clear in two days at most." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Two days? How can it be? Bai Chongxi and Li Zongjian exclaimed in unison.

"Just two days!" Jiang Haoran replied categorically.

……

The next day, early in the morning, the front enemy headquarters in Fuyang of the Fifth Theater of Operations.

Sun Lianzhong, deputy commander-in-chief of the theater, led a group of staff officers and generals to gather in front of the combat sand table, and the radio and telephone in the room rang non-stop, and the people who came and went were all busy in a hurry.

There was no progress in the offensive for several days, and Sun Lianzhong was also so anxious that his mouth was foaming, especially when he heard that the breakthrough task would be handed over to the special operations division and the new third division, he was even more messy, and now he didn't even have a chance to turn the tables, he was also a competitive person, of course, he didn't want all the efforts made in front of him to be in vain, so in the early hours of this morning, he once again ordered Liao Lei's Seventh Army and the Forty-eighth Army of the 21st Group Army to press up on the whole line, hoping to open a gap before the arrival of the special operations division, which can be regarded as saving a little face for himself.

The fierce battle has been more than four hours, and it has just been reported from the front that the 170th Division of the Seventh Army has advanced to a distance of several hundred meters from the enemy's front line, and this time there is a great hope for a breakthrough, and because of this hope, the hearts of everyone in the command have risen to their throats, staring at the combat sand table one by one, watching the staff officers constantly adjust the war games according to the reports from the front.

Next to the telephone, a staff officer put down the phone and said urgently: "Report, the left flank of the 170th Division suddenly killed forty or fifty helicopters, and the troops suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat. ”

With a "snap", the command rod in Sun Lianzhong's hand made a loud noise on the edge of the sand table, and he roared wildly: "Fuck it, call the air force to destroy them immediately, and order the troops to organize an attack again." ”

"Wait!" Chen Chen on the side raised his hand and hurriedly said: "Brother Lu, even if you call the air force, it's too late, and when they arrive, it will be at least half an hour later, the enemy's helicopters have already retreated, just like the last round of tanks, the enemy retreated as soon as he succeeded, and the planes couldn't find their traces, and now the island army has lost its air supremacy, so we can only attack coldly, but we really have no way to take them, so, accept your fate, the special operations division is estimated to be almost there, this hard bone can only be left for them to gnaw, I can testify for you, You have done your part in your abilities and duties. ”

"Alas......", Sun Lianzhong let out a long sigh, threw away the command pole in his hand in frustration, and his face was full of unwillingness, but he didn't dare not listen to Chen Chen's words, so he had to order the troops to retreat.

Chen Chen had stayed at the Fifth Theater Headquarters because he had promised Yin Tong to ensure the logistics of the troops, and he had not yet thought that the battle would have turned into such a situation, and he had already regretted it in his heart, if he hadn't tried his best to persuade Yin Tong to come and move forward, why would this situation occur, so the pressure in his heart was also very great, and he was anxious to tear through the enemy's defensive line, rescue the encircled troops, and minimize the losses.

But it backfired, every time the troops advanced to a certain extent, as if they saw a little hope, the enemy's tanks, helicopters or heavy artillery would be killed out coldly, resulting in a failure, every time the hope was that the air force had destroyed them, but every time they were disappointed, the enemy after losing air supremacy, the application and concealment of these heavy weapons had been done to the extreme, so the two group armies attacked for several days in a row, and they were stunned that they could not open any opening.

Not long after, Liao Lei, commander-in-chief of the 21st Group Army, Zhang Guan, commander of the Seventh Army, and Zhou Zuhuang, commander of the 49th Army, walked in dejectedly.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the soldiers reported that Chu Zhongtian, commander of the special operations division, and Su Peng, commander of the new third division, had arrived.

While speaking, Chu Zhongtian and Su Peng strode in with a group of staff generals, and the person they knew was Chen Chen, so they went straight to Chen Chen and saluted, and under Chen Chen's recommendation, it took a while to meet each other and get to know each other.

The prestige of the Special Operations Division and the New Third Division has long been resounding at home and abroad, and it is rumored that they are all nostrils in the sky one by one, and all the commanders and fighters of the Fifth Theater originally thought that they would be robbed and humiliated by them, but who knew that they did not show that kind of domineering arrogance, and their speech and demeanor were very decent, and they even thoughtfully said that they had worked hard, which could be regarded as giving Sun Lianzhong a little comfort to them.

But they probably don't know, these guys actually have some of Jiang Haoran's characteristics, none of the people who should be enclosed will be offended, and none of the people who should be lost will be let go, they are the strikers in front of them, and naturally the full support of the troops behind them is indispensable, at least the flank protection, containment, logistics support or something, they have to rely on them, otherwise, they really don't know what they will be damaged.

Of course, Chen Chen is here, which is also a reason.

After some greetings, he quickly got to the point, and Liao Lei, commander-in-chief of the 21st Group Army, personally introduced the battle situation to Chu Zhongtian and Su Peng.

At present, the island army has laid out a defense line of more than 50 miles on the front line of Maji, Gongdian, Sunmiao, and Wangshi, and uses villages and towns to connect them into a group of civil fortifications, with three lines of protection, and the troop strength is configured into three divisions and three to five puppet army divisions, with a strength of about 150,000.

The first line of defense has two permanent divisions of the 14th Division and the 20th Division and two or three puppet army divisions, of which the 14th Division is on the left flank and is stationed in Maji and Gongdian, the 20th Division is on the right flank and is stationed in Sunmiao and Wangshi, and the 108th Division and two puppet army divisions are arranged in the second and third lines of defense.

In terms of weapons, there are two independent tank wings, a heavy artillery brigade, and the number of helicopters is unknown, and there are about 50 or so helicopters, so all the heavy weapons are hidden in the middle of the Gongdian and Sunmiao areas, and they can appear in the front line in time regardless of the troops attacking from the left and right flanks, and the means of concealment are very clever, and they cannot determine their specific location by high-altitude reconnaissance for several days, and they think they are destroyed several times, but they can always be found to exist at critical moments.

A group of people studied around the combat sand table for nearly half an hour, Chu Zhongtian straightened up and pulled the lieutenant general's uniform and said: "Okay, Commander Liao, we have a general understanding of the situation, you can order your men to withdraw from the defense line and hand over the position to us, in addition, I want to know if the tank division that our headquarters promised to me is already in place." ”
