Two hundred and seventeen. Encirclement and annihilation
In the Middle East, even if the expeditionary force of the Dawen Empire occupies an absolute advantage, the command of the Dawen Empire is not careless, and in the few days of preparation, several military meetings were held to study and revise the battle plan, refine every combat step, and strive to achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost.

Three days later, in the morning, the reconnaissance team received news that the supply ships of the Europa Empire had finally left the port and stayed for a day longer than expected.
The combat alarm sounded in the camp of the expeditionary force, the alarm sounded poignantly and sharply, and the soldiers of the Dawen Empire reacted at the first time, armed and neatly armed, rushed out of the camp and lined up on the playground, waiting for the battle order to be issued.
The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became tense, the driver made a final inspection of the vehicle, then started the vehicle, drove to the gate of the camp, waited for the soldiers to board the car, and the military officer made a final count and inspection of the equipment that was about to be put into the battlefield, and after the inspection, signed the release order.
At the gate of the camp, the transport vehicle was ready to end, the engine entered an idle state, waiting for the soldiers to board the car, and the commander-in-chief of the station made a short mobilization speech, and then directly issued a combat order The "annihilation plan" was fully launched.
Fifteen minutes later, all preparations were over, the gates of the camp slowly opened, and vehicles full of supplies and soldiers drove out of the camp and headed for their intended targets.
So there are still a large number of soldiers who still rely on two legs, rushing from the camp to the war zone. The desert march is difficult and difficult, the sand is soft, it is very easy to sink into the foot, and if it takes a point of effort to walk in peacetime, it will take a point of effort in the desert.
In addition, the temperature in the Middle East is high, so the marching speed can not be raised, can only move forward at a speed of about ten kilometers per hour, even so, the soldiers of the expeditionary force are still sweating profusely, and they must pay attention to their feet at any time, although the desert is arid, there are still a lot of poisonous insects, such as scorpions, desert rock snakes, etc., these poisonous insects are small in size, but they are poisonous, and if they are bitten, they are also fatal.
It is very difficult to conceal large-scale military operations, and before the departure of the expeditionary force of the Dawen Empire, some troops have already imposed martial law on the surrounding area of the expeditionary force's station, and all personnel are only allowed to enter and not leave, so as to cover up the secret of the expeditionary force's travel to the greatest extent.
The targets of the attacks of each unit are different, and the marching distance is also different, the nearest ones are only more than 20 kilometers, and the far ones are more than 70 kilometers; in order to unify the attack time, at this moment, there are still quite a few troops in the barracks of the expeditionary force who are still waiting for departure.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the troops with the farthest marching distance had already arrived at their destination, and they were stationed at a distance of about ten kilometers from the target of the attack to rest, and the final time of the attack will be issued by the command headquarters around sunrise tomorrow.
The last unit had also left the barracks, and they would stay overnight in the field, recuperating and awaiting an attack early tomorrow morning.
All the troops were already in place, the reconnaissance team sent earlier had also been reconciled with the large army, the positions of the four tribes had moved, but the distance was not far, and the attacking troops reported to the headquarters, with the consent of the headquarters, and the night garrison points were adjusted accordingly.
Everything was ready, the soldiers of the attacking force and Yi Ermian were sleeping, but the reconnaissance teams were still active, constantly monitoring the targets. Precipitation is scarce in the desert, and even at night, it can still maintain good visibility, and the reconnaissance team takes advantage of the night to detect the target at close range.
Those are the firing points, those are the barracks, where there may be an arsenal to guide the fire of tomorrow's attacking troops.
The tribes were completely unaware of the expeditionary force's military operations, and the tribes were silent, except for a few remaining bonfires that were still flickering brightly or darkly, and there was not even a single night patrol.
After getting closer, the reconnaissance team quietly withdrew from the tribal camp, handed over the detailed reconnaissance report to the commander of the attacking force, and then left the station.
Time passed second by second, and at four o'clock in the morning, the attacking troops of the expeditionary force moved and dispersed from the garrison to both sides, gradually encircling the target of the attack in the circle of attack as they advanced.
When it was about five kilometers away from the attack target, the advance stopped, and the command also issued a time for the attack, and the attack would be launched at half past five, and because of the large number of attack targets, the attacking units could launch the attack 10 minutes earlier or later according to their own needs.
At five o'clock, 20 Wuzhi planes took off from the expeditionary force airfield, 70 kilometers is the distance, and it is only a matter of about ten minutes for Wuzhi, Wuzhi smoothly arrived at the sky above their respective targets, and after smoothly contacting the ground troops, they began to hover over the target and monitor their every move.
The encirclement of the ground forces is still extended, and it is impossible to encircle a large tribe of 15,000 people with the strength of one division, but it is completely possible to form a semi-encirclement.
At a quarter past five, the semi-encirclement was successfully completed, and after the commander made a final inquiry, at five twenty, the order to attack was given and the attack began. The encirclement was rapidly reduced, and it gradually advanced towards the Horde's station.
The genius was bright, the sun had not yet risen, and the stars in the sky were faintly visible. The crescent moon in the west still hung in the sky, crooked, like a cold smile.
The first wave of attacks was launched by the heavenly Wuzhi, three Wuzhi arranged in a zigzag pattern, silently invading the target on the ground, six M2 machine guns fired at the same time, and the target of the attack was mainly the barracks, firepower points, and arsenals of the tribal armed forces.
"Da Da" "Da Da Da" Wu Zhi's six M2 machine guns spewed out six tongues of fire, and the 12.7 mm bullets easily passed through the tents of the tribal camp, hitting the tribal soldiers who were still asleep.
The blood was also sucked dry by the dry desert in an instant, leaving only a dark red mark.
The firing points, which had been piled up by the tribesmen with sandbags, had remained intact after a wave of attacks, but the guns inside had been largely destroyed, and they had become ineffective without firing a single bullet.
The arsenal survived the first wave of attacks, and it is not known whether it was a lucky target or a mistake by the reconnaissance team, and after the first wave of attacks, there were no explosions at the ammunition depot.
The tribe's camp was like a flooded ant's nest in an instant, panicked, crying, shouting, moaning, camel neighing, and mixed with scattered gunfire, and the tribe's warriors did not know where the attack was starting from, so they had to take their guns and shoot aimlessly.
The Wu Zhi of the Dawen Empire drew a circle in mid-air, lined up a formation in the air, and pounced on the tribe's camp again.
