Chapter 24: We Can Trust (Extra 1/10)
If the left flank can defeat the enemy, under the chain reaction, the enemy can only choose to retreat on the whole line, even if they are only ambushed by thirty percent of their troops at this time, but on the battlefield they dare not bet that the imperial army will find the fat here, and then send troops to swallow it.
However, if the assault on the left flank failed and was beaten back by the enemy, then Ye Xiao could only choose to blow the trumpet and evacuate.
"Let the rest of the 1st Company be ready to respond." Ye Xiao quietly told the signal corps that commanding a battle is sometimes like gambling, and when you are not sure, you must gamble, but the officer must not be like a gambler, the gambler loses the gamble, and the can't just lose the money, no matter how serious the situation is, it will harm his own family, but if the officer, especially the commander, dares to bet everything like a gambler, once he loses, it will be as few as tens of hundreds or tens of thousands of lives!
Ye Xiao will bet, but it is absolutely impossible to bet on everything!
The communication soldier's eyes widened, and finally he was silent, it turned out that the commander did not have absolute confidence.
It's just that the completely different performances of the imperial army and the enemy army made Ye Xiao win the bet!
The left flank easily broke through the enemy's position with Ye Zhan, and the enemy who had no heart to fight chose to flee desperately, and the fact that there was no superintendent to stand up and kill the deserters became the main culprit of the enemy's rout.
Once the rout and escape appear on a large scale, there is only one ending: defeat!
The enemy faced by the left flank of the imperial army was defeated!
Ye Xiao's expressionless face, the muscles were trembling, that kind of ecstasy was deeply suppressed by him, and he had not completely defeated the enemy, it was too early to say victory.
"Don't chase!"
After Ye Zhan stopped his subordinates from pursuing, he immediately ordered: "Attack to the middle line!" Force them to retreat! ”
Ye Zhan has been with Ye Xiao before, and he has an extremely deep understanding of the battle situation, so he naturally knows his own situation, the annihilation battle is unimaginable, the defeat battle requires luck against the sky, the situation is better and it will be a blocking battle, and if the situation is worst, he can only retreat back - now that there is a possibility of fighting against the sky and a rout, he will definitely not waste the opportunity stupidly.
On the battlefield, sometimes the fight is the general trend - local superiority does not mean victory, when the general trend has gone, honest retreat is the only choice, unwilling to struggle with the consequence of only one, deeper and deeper.
So after a little hesitation, Major Tony gave the order with hatred: "After the F is broken!" The rest of the troops retreated! ”
The retreat was smooth, and F Company easily blocked the offensive of the imperial army, saying that it was blocked, but in fact, Tony knew very well that the imperial army was too lazy to attack because it was not cost-effective.
"It's a pity that there was no pursuit......"
After the other two companies retreated, Company F slowly withdrew from the battlefield, and to Tony's disappointment, the imperial army did not pursue, and Tony, who was ready for a grappling, was disappointed.
"Sir, our troops lost a total of 163 people, of which 148 were killed." The report of his subordinates made Tony's eyes dark, and it was not a good choice to go out of the division, and he also lost nearly a quarter of his soldiers, which made the arrogant Tony even more uncomfortable than eating a fly.
"Fix it on the spot! Attack in half an hour! Tony gritted his teeth and gave the order, and after fighting for more than twenty minutes, he saw clearly that the strength of the imperial army was far weaker than his own, and if it was not for the rout of the left front, as long as he persisted, he would definitely win.
Blame yourself for being careless!
While Tony secretly resents it, he is determined to take revenge.
But this revenge obviously cannot be avenged.
Ye Xiao has always been the calmest on the battlefield, although he successfully repelled the enemy, but the ambush battle has lost its meaning, this time it is to take advantage of the enemy's carelessness to take a surprise shot, but the enemy will not be so stupid for the second time, so the best choice is to retreat.
This is the city, and street fighting is king!
……
When Ye Xiao put forward the theory of synthetic warfare, he revisited the street warfare in the new background, and tireless innovation is the source of the imperial army becoming a super empire, and the military naturally will not ignore the suggestions put forward by a "theoretical genius".
And the synthetic troops, especially the Black Flag Army, which has carried Ye Xiao's brand since the beginning of the assault battalion, have never taken lightly the importance of street fighting.
The effect is highlighted in Arinata!
For 29 hours, the Glorious Ranger Division has invested more than 8,000 people in the Alinata, although the defenders have the advantage of the air force, but the outbreak of air battles makes the support that Alinata can get very limited, but even so, the defenders of less than 2,000 people, but in the small city of Alinata, hold on for a full 29 hours.
The battle was fought from night to day, and from day to night, and the Arinata, which had been deeply cultivated by the fire of the third time, was completely in ruins, and the imperial army that held on to the city was finally compressed to the edge of the city.
The battle was brutal, almost every position was repeatedly controlled back and forth, and a lot of blood was shed on each position, but the imperial army was forced to abandon the positions because of manpower, resulting in the end helpless being forced to the edge of the city.
But in this battle, the spy company led by Ye Xiao became the brightest star.
In the blocking battle, the spy company killed more than 150 people with fewer hits, and after that, the sniper team of the spy company blossomed more, so that the attacking enemy fell into a cruel situation of cold guns everywhere, although forced to retreat step by step due to the general trend, but the company annihilated at least 400 enemies in this urban street battle!
It's just that the losses are just as heavy!
The spy company lost 43 people, and the Ghost Blade detachment lost 8 people.
"We're going to break off!"
Ye Xiao, who came back from Linzhi, brought back the order after the break, there were still more than 800 troops stationed in Alinata, and the casualties of the two synthetic battalions were more than sixty percent, which was shocking!
Naturally, the front commander can no longer let this heroic unit that has fought for friendly forces for more than 30 hours now devote itself to the first line of defense, so these people will be pulled behind the second line of defense as a reserve to repair, and the special service company with still combat strength has naturally become the first choice for the blocking force.
"In the last 24 hours, we have been the last in every retreat, because we have never passively lost our position!" Ye Xiao held an ad hoc meeting, and in front of a group of officers, he proudly announced: "And now, Linzhi has decided to hand over the task to us after the break, precisely because we can trust it!" ”
"Wave it away! It's a battle! The battle can be won! This is the slogan of the most elite troops! And we did just that! I'm so proud of you! ”
Ye Xiao's words won the enthusiastic applause of his subordinates, honor, is the life of the army, the soul of the army, and the pride of the soldiers to defend to the death!
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the encouragement of a sentence of commendation to the morale of the army, but after being in the bureau and shedding blood for it, a sentence of commendation and a sentence of recognition are the supreme affirmations for soldiers!
It is worth defending with your life!
We can trust it!
This is the reputation written by the comrades-in-arms with their lives, and it is their pride!
"I promise not to let my finger down!"
"Sir, please tell Linzhi, our department will definitely complete the task!"
The subordinates roared in unison, as if swearing.
"We will!" Ye Xiao stretched out his fist and collided with the fists of his subordinates.
