Brigade headquarters of the 101st (1st Brigade) of the Black Flag Army.

Qiu Yun looked at the magic crystal map that showed the situation between the two sides, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

The situation was very bad, only 9 hours had passed since the battle broke out at dawn, but all the outlying positions of the entire 1st Brigade had changed hands, and the three main positions supporting the 101st Brigade's defense line were also frantically asking for help.

"Sir, the 141st position changed hands, and the 3rd Battalion and 2nd Company were killed."

The sound of the staff officer's report made Qiu Yun subconsciously grasp the edge of the table, and his knuckles became unusually white due to excessive force.

This is the second company-level report that Qiu Yun has received that the entire army has been wiped out.

The 101st Brigade, which is worth less than 5,000 people, has already lost its number permanently in two companies!

"What is Shi Yu doing? Did he watch 2 in a row? How did he deserve this company commander! The chief of staff roared angrily, and the enraged chief of staff quickly connected with the 3rd battalion.

"I'm Shi Yu!"

"Shi Yu, how the are you an official? One company, one company is gone right under your nose! "The chief of staff roared angrily, the 141 position was less than 800 meters away from the main position of the 3rd battalion, the 218 position, and the entire position was shrouded in curved fire, and a single machine gun could hit the 141 position from 218 - are the defenders of 218 idiots?

"Chief of Staff, three-fifths of the 218 position has been lost, and the enemy has attacked near the battalion headquarters," in the communication crystal machine, Lieutenant Colonel Shi Yu's voice was very urgent: "The 3rd battalion swears not to take a step back, and our battalion will fight to the end on this position!" The Empire is mighty! Imperial Martial Arts! ”

Before the chief of staff could speak, the sound of an explosion came from the communication crystal machine, and at the same time there was a soldier's report:

"Camp, the enemy is coming!"

"Brothers, kill!"

The lieutenant colonel's angry voice fell into a piercing scream, and the entire brigade headquarters instantly became a dead silence.

The destruction of the 3rd Battalion was imminent.

This is most likely the first battalion-level establishment lost by the 1 brigade......

"Bastard !!"

The chief of staff reprimanded in a low voice, then looked at Qiu Yun, his blood-red eyes were extremely hideous: "Brigade seat, I'll take the reserve team to 218!" ”

Qiu Yun stared at the map and rejected the chief of staff's request to fight: "It's not time yet, and the reserves can't be mobilized yet...... Wait a minute......"

Qiu Yun said this before the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company were destroyed, and now that the 3rd Battalion is about to be wiped out, Qiu Yun is still saying this, although the chief of staff knows that what Qiu Yun said is reasonable, but he still can't help but roar: "Brigade seat, if you don't use it again, the 3rd Battalion will be gone!" ”

"Again! Wait! Wait! ”

Qiuyun gritted his teeth and roared, his voice was like the low roar of a demonic beast, and at this time, the chief of staff realized that Qiuyun was trembling all over his body, obviously suppressing himself extremely.

Unlike the staff officer, the staff team is only responsible for deducing the various possible outcomes and processes after filling in the conditions, and then submitting the conclusions to the commander.

But not the commander!

No one can completely control the war, and war is not a chess game, not just by deduction can completely grasp the prediction, if it can, a good staff team, can replace all the commanders.

However, in fact, no matter how perfect, complete, and powerful the staff system is, it is always in an auxiliary position, and decisions and orders are ultimately decided by the commander.

Every decision, every order, is not so easy to give, there are too many factors that affect the command in the war, the intolerance of subordinates, the miscalculation of casualties, the wrong analysis of the situation, and even some accidents, can affect the commander to give orders.

Just like Qiuyun at this moment, he knew that the use of reserves at this time would not work, and could only add fuel to the situation, but the fact that the 3rd Battalion was about to be destroyed made him very painful - how he wanted to order the reserves to attack and support the 3rd Battalion, but reason was telling him that he could not use the reserves, and he could not use the reserves.

In the final analysis, a completely sane commander can only be YY, no one can abandon the interference of emotions, and what Qiuyun can do at this moment is to suppress the emotions that are close to collapse with strong reason!

"Report, 2nd Battalion report, 3rd Battalion 218 main position has changed hands, and only two positions of the 218 Position Group are still stubbornly defending."

Camp 3 is finished......

The corners of Qiu Yun's mouth twitched, her heart was very distressed, and her lips were trembling.

"4 battalions, dispatch 1 company and 2 companies, block the enemy in front of the 193 position! Directly subordinate artillery companies and missile companies, after fifteen minutes to cover the saturation attack 218 position group, request the front point, fifteen minutes later, the air force, artillery and missile units, saturation bombing 218 position group! ”

The pocket was torn open by the enemy, and the enemy couldn't wait to expand the results along 218, and at this time, the enemies in the pocket would inevitably be countless-the attacking stubborn stone army, at this time, knowing that it was a trap, could only resign itself to fighting.

However, the price paid by the 1 brigade was the loss of a battalion!

No, the 3rd Battalion still has two positions to hold!

"No way!" The chief of staff rushed over and squeezed Qiu Yun's arms tightly with both hands: "Brigade seat, the 3rd battalion still has brothers holding on, and they can't bomb indiscriminately!" ”

"There's no time! No time! "Qiuyun is in great pain, and letting the 3rd battalion be wiped out is waiting to bomb indiscriminately with firepower, if you can't send the firepower over at the first time, the stubborn stone army will easily scatter the troops, and the effect of the bombing will plummet at that time-

Even Qiu Yun suspected that the two positions that had not been captured were deliberately left behind by the Stubborn Stone Legion!

"It can't be like this...... It can't be like this......" The chief of staff roared weakly, but the truth was like his weak voice, no matter how much he roared, he could not change it.

……

The officers and men of the 202nd Brigade were very idle, and the battlefield where the explosions kept going on seemed to have nothing to do with them, they could only look at the battlefield from afar, watch the exploding mushroom clouds continue to soar into the sky, and listen to the sound of explosions in the sky.

The 218 position was broken through.

The officers of the 202nd Battalion of the 2nd Brigade who were observing looked at the broken positions and were stunned one by one.

From beginning to end, they could see clearly in their binoculars that the 101st Brigade had not sent a single reinforcement to the 218 position, and apart from the strong support of artillery fire, not a single soldier had gone up to support.

"What is this for?" Wu Si's eyes widened, and he dropped the binoculars in anger, he didn't want to see the picture of the heroic Imperial soldiers being killed again, "What is the 101st Brigade doing?" Why not send reinforcements? Why not send reinforcements! If there's no one, we can pull it up at any time! ”

Wu Si's question is what all the observing officers want to know - the 101st Brigade has reserves in its hands, the three main position groups are exactly the strength of 3 battalions, and the remaining brigade troops and another battalion have not been thrown into the battlefield, and there are reinforcements to send!

But why not send reinforcements?

Just watching the 218 position change hands?

Ye Xiao didn't answer this question, his gaze locked on the two small positions that were still being guarded by the soldiers.

In two small positions, there were about 4 squads of soldiers stationed there, and there were more than 60 people in total.

The enemy can break through the 218 position, why haven't these two positions been broken?

The answer was not long in coming.

The moment the roar of the artillery group sounded, Ye Xiao's face became extremely pale, and in line with his conjecture, the 218 position group that had just fallen was covered by indiscriminate fire.

Amazed!

The officers of the 2 battalion were dumbfounded!

How can this be? How can this be? And brothers are fighting, why? Why artillery cover?

The Air Force appeared on the scene, and after more than 100 sorties dropped more than 200 aerial bombs and missiles, they fiercely fired at the entire group of positions with machine guns.

At this point, as long as they are not fools, who still can't see the purpose of the 101 Brigade?

"It's so ruthless......"

"Good Poison ......"

"It's too ruthless......"

Speechless, the officers are speechless, this hand of the 101st Brigade is too ruthless.

Despite the abundant results - at least two regiments poured into the 218 position group just now, and after this carpet cover bombing, the two regiments were absolutely crippled.

However, no one wants to see such a cold behavior!

"Maniac!"

Shi Kai thought he was crazy, but looking at the hand of the 101st Brigade, he was so kind: "Is the brigade commander of the 101st Brigade crazy?" He's finished! He will be tried by military law......" Speaking of this, Shi Kai inexplicably looked at Ye Xiao, who was like a stone sculpture, and his body was full of excitement.

Lunatic!

His chief, when he was in Jeseong, almost did just that!

Ye Xiao sighed faintly and silently raised his hand to experience.

Following Ye Xiao's movements, the subordinates saluted the fallen military soul together, but they didn't expect that among the targets of Ye Xiao's salute, they also included the target they feared, Colonel Qiuyun, the commander of the 101st Brigade!

"Why bother?"

Ye Xiao sighed in his heart, he was not a newcomer to the battlefield, so he could naturally see the power of Qiu Yun's hand.

The imperial army spent hundreds of years and used hundreds of years of tireless behavior to make the soldiers take it for granted that the imperial army would not abandon a soldier.

Position 218 is embedded in the middle of the three main position groups, and after being captured, it seems to be in a pocket - for the attacker, it is easy to attack on both sides and cooperate with the troops to expand the results of the battle, but again, once the troops are in the pocket, the density is extremely high, and the indiscriminate coverage and bombing will make the losses extremely staggering.

The Stubborn Stone Legion gambled that the imperial army did not dare to risk the condemnation of the world!

In order to increase the chips, they also deliberately left two positions.

However, Qiuyun was waiting for this opportunity.

The bombing came as promised.

Is it wrong?

Intellectually, yes!

But why sacrifice your own people?

The 32-year-old Imperial Colonel, who is still the brigade commander of the Black Flag Army's benchmark brigade, and Qiu Yun, who is not surprising to be a general at the age of 40, chose the most ruthless approach, and similarly, his choice is also doomed to a gloomy career.

"I knew that...... I know ......" Ye Xiao lamented in his heart, Qiu Yun was originally an extremely calm person, and it was not surprising that he would do anything for victory, although he also felt sorry for those brothers and comrades who were abandoned, but what lamented even more was Qiu Yun's choice.

Qiuyun gave up the road of a future general and gave up his future, but there is no doubt that for the trapped imperial army, a brilliant killing and wounding is of great significance!

At least, in the eyes of the previous finger, the time that the 1st Brigade could have held out, because of this covering bombardment, would have been at least six hours longer!

Major General Chen Yuwei signaled the signal troops to leave, and then silently looked at the front line where the smoke of gunpowder could not be seen: "Someone has to do it......"

Yes, someone has to do it for the sake of victory.

Whether it is unscrupulous or unscrupulous, it is considered cold-blooded and ruthless, in order to win, after all, it is necessary to do something unfathomable.
