Chapter 8: The Elephant Soldiers Attack

A war ended like this, the Republic of China lost more than 200 soldiers, the unfamiliarity with the rattan armor made some errors in judgment, the other side was also a well-trained soldier, the first time to counterattack, and caused casualties to our army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Generally speaking, it is a big victory, after all, the gap between the two sides is getting smaller and smaller, and in such a situation, it is not easy to annihilate more than 1,500 soldiers of the other side at the cost of more than 250 soldiers.

When he really fought with the enemy, Gao Ran found that the opponent's body refining technique was actually not so bad. The key is that the opponent's use of the terrain is not bad, and in the end, it is a local operation, which itself occupies a geographical advantage.

There is not much difference in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, and if you can't kill with one sword, you can always kill a few of your own soldiers. It has nothing to do with tactics, it is difficult to fully deploy tactics in the jungle, and it is more about the concept of 'the brave wins when they meet in a narrow way'.

"These rattan armor soldiers are a bit interesting, I already knew to prepare more flamethrowers!" Gao Ran looked at the corpses all over the ground, picked up a piece of rattan shield, looked at it, and muttered.

"It's not good to play with flamethrowers in this kind of place, don't burn us down then!" The political commissar of the army stepped forward and quipped. Unlike the Han Empire, the commissars of the Chinese Republic would only come forward to talk to them during non-belligerent periods.

In the final analysis, the system of supervising the army, the Han Empire itself was also learned from the political commissar system of the Chinese Republic, but it is a pity that it has no shape. Too much interference in the general's decision-making, even if there is no direct leadership, will affect the general's judgment. The most embarrassing thing is the soldiers below, many of whom still don't know who they should listen to.

Gao Ran didn't dwell on this either, and there was originally a deputy general who suggested: "Why don't you directly equip these rattan armors and pretend that the remnants of the other party will directly kill the opponent's stronghold?" ”

However, he believed that the enemy would definitely have a special means of contact, and this unit had been completely wiped out, and he did not know how to communicate with it, so even if he pretended to be the opponent's soldiers, he might not be able to deceive the opponent's defenders.

For the rest of the journey, there were no more mines, and the soldiers were finally a little relieved. But this way passed, it was still a wilderness, and there was no road or anything like that. The enemy's origin was probably figured out, and they went around the lake directly, which somewhat bypassed a lot of roads, but unfortunately this trick could not be used by their own army.

The night generals in the jungle were very fast, and the soldiers had already done many such exercises, so they quickly began to gather together, simply tidy up a clean area, and lit a bonfire, and conditionally collected some mosquito repellent plants such as ghost needle grass, and burned them on the fire, so as to drive away those pesky mosquitoes. Sometimes, it's scarier than beasts or poisonous snakes.

"It's not far from Katsukyu County, so it is said that you should be able to see the situation here. In particular, the rattan armor troops and artillery troops have not replied for a long time, and the other party should be hesitant. You should take turns to be on duty, do not let the other side launch a night attack, and also prevent the other side's special operations unit, which is said to be called a Stinger unit! Before going to bed, Gao Ran instructed the officers below.

"General, what is the combat effectiveness of that special operations unit called Stinger?" An adjutant asked.

"It was completely operated by Momen himself, and even referred to some elite troops trained in the special warfare tactics we used before. Of course, they say that it is better to say that it is an elite assassin unit than a special combat team, and the strength is naturally incomparable with the real special combat team, but it is always good to be careful! Gao Ran said solemnly.

When it comes to anti-special forces tactics, they have also practiced them, and even summed up valuable experience after being constantly abused by special combat teams. There are too many uncertainties in special battles, especially now that people here are unfamiliar with the place, there are too many accidents, even if you are on guard, you may not be able to completely prevent it, so Gao Ran must also treat it seriously.

And the most important thing is that now the secret of night blindness has also been cracked, and with the improvement of living standards, the soldiers of the three forces have been freed from the trouble of night blindness. Night raids are no longer difficult, which also makes the camp more difficult to defend.

On the other hand, the vulture bone did receive the news, or the news that the detachment of the vine armor army and the artillery detachment had lost contact. For him, who has tens of thousands of soldiers, the loss of 1,000 and 500 people is still within the bearable range, but not a single living person from the vine armor army has returned, which is indeed a bit unexpected for him.

"The enemy doesn't seem to be easy to deal with, do you probably know where they've been? According to the distance, it is almost good to Shengxiu County, right? The vulture beckoned his cronies to ask.

"According to the front-line intelligence, the other party has not really set foot in Shengxiu County, but it will not be too far away. Maybe it's getting dark, so I'm spending the night in the woods, which can come about an hour faster than outside. The cronies thought for a moment and said.

"I see, then they are probably in the forest on the outskirts of Shengxiu County? Prepare our secret weapon and enjoy them tomorrow morning! Hearing this, the vulture bone smiled and immediately gave the order.

"Whoa!" The cronies naturally knew what the vulture bone meant, so they immediately received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.

"Hahaha, no matter how powerful you are, what kind of expressions will you have in the face of those behemoths?" The vulture muttered very confidently, in his opinion, in the face of the special beasts here in Nanzhong, those soldiers of the Huaxia Republic would not be opponents.

Even if it is a mid-stage cultivation of dark energy, it is thankless to face them. Maybe the legendary powerhouse of the Transformation Period can compete with it, but in his opinion, even in the Huaxia Republic, there will not be too many of them. Not to mention that these existences will be put into the battlefield of Nanzhong.

The only pity is that the group of guys are afraid of fire, afraid of loud sounds, and can solve it with a special trainer. Only the light of fire, which is the nature of animals, is difficult to overcome. Otherwise, if you drive it over directly tonight, you will definitely be able to kill the other party by surprise!

The next day, after waking up from sleep and resting briefly, Gao Ran's troops continued to advance. At the same time, Xu Shengbu, who was in charge of attacking Qike County, had already begun to attack Danzhi County, and would continue to go north after that, where Yelang County was located, which was also the location of Yelang Country, and 'Yelang Arrogance' came from here.

In fact, in the Warring States Period, the State of Chu canonized the King of Yelang and the King of Helan, and implemented a system similar to that of Tusi in later generations. During the Western Han Dynasty, the Yelang Kingdom and the Helan Kingdom were destroyed, and it was also incorporated into Yizhou as the county of Qike County.

Li Wen personally led the army of his headquarters and advanced directly to Shuangbai County in Jianning County, which was established in 109 A.D. and has been ninety-one years since then, and the population is mainly based on planning barbarians, only a few Han people settled here, and it was also used as a place of exile for criminals and sinners.

Li Wen plans to use this place as a springboard to go directly to Yunnan County, and use this to attack Buwei County, Yongchang County, and control the Southern Silk Road! At the same time, the last Fang Jian (military academy training officer) department is directly heading towards the south of Yongchang, and unlike the other three roads, they are pure explorers and developers along the way.

Of course, they didn't know it, and after the corrections were completed, they used the map and compass to quickly lock on to the target, and then continued to move forward.

It is still less than ten miles away from Katsukyu Prefecture, and the surrounding vegetation seems to be slowly becoming shorter. The grass starts to increase and the forest starts to decrease, which means they are already close to the edge of the forest.

Finally, as their eyes became more open, they came to the side of Fuxian Lake, and went to the county seat of Shengxiu for three miles, where there were no woods or dense vegetation due to long-term human activity, and the road became smooth.

Several county seats in Jianning County are almost all developed around Fuxian Lake and Dianchi Lake. The southernmost is Shengxiu County, and the upper part is Dianchi County, the seat of Jianning County, the northwest of Shengxiu County is Jianling County, the northeast is Yu Yuanxiang, and there is a Wushan County not far away.

According to Gao Lan's meaning, these counties can actually be connected in series and then form a huge southern metropolis. But then again, it seems that this idea has already existed on the government side, and he doesn't really need to bother with it at all as a soldier.

"General, there is a force ahead, and there are a large number of armed elephants, which are rapidly killing our army!" The scout came back suddenly and quickly, and reported first.

"Damn, although I knew that there was such a thing as elephants in the south, I didn't expect that the other party actually domesticated a batch of elephants and used them as weapons of war! Don't they know that elephants are actually very timid, not only afraid of fire and loud noises, but if one elephant makes a commotion, it will also cause other elephants to stir up? Gao Ran muttered very unhappily.

"It doesn't matter how the other party solves this problem, or whether they are ignoring this problem, the key is that the enemy directly drove a large number of elephants and killed us here, how should we deal with it at this time!" The lieutenant immediately reminded.

"What else can you do, the elephant will only run on a rampage, and it doesn't care where the enemy is. I still don't believe that the other party can really drive the elephants like ordinary war horses, let me disperse, and make way for the group of elephants! Gao Ran immediately gave the order.

"What if the enemy really has the means?" The adjutant general couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"When the time comes, launch an attack on those guys on the elephant's back, in short, don't let the soldiers gather together, spread them out as much as possible, and be careful that the other party launches a surprise attack directly from Fuxian Lake!" Gao Ran said indifferently.

"Whoa!" The adjutant general immediately notified.

In a short time, these giant beasts have appeared on the horizon, and the wild elephants in southern China are actually not big, at least not as big as African elephants. But Rao is like this, more than 50 elephants are running side by side, and the vision is also very shocking.

There was a "rumbling" sound on the ground, and the guys ran around, giving people the feeling that the ground was shaking. Obviously there are only fifty heads, and the momentum is almost no less than that of thousands of war horses galloping, if they are directly bumped into or trampled on, I am afraid that even if they are strong in the internal strength period, they may not be able to survive.

Even if they weren't armed, they were already biological weapons in their own right, and without considering their weaknesses, Gao Ran even planned to suggest forming such a team...... (To be continued.) )
