Chapter Seventy-Three: The Power of a Fighter

After listening to Gruss's report, Cheng Lei nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, I called you here today, it's actually very simple, that is, at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, twenty-five fighters will be sent to carry out harassing bombing and unlimited machine gun fire on the Balonou people in the west of Vientiane City." Aren't all your planes equipped with specialized large-caliber heavy machine guns now? The matching bullets produced by the arsenal are already stacked like mountains, as well as the shells specially equipped for you, tens of thousands of rounds have been produced in recent months, and they are still being produced at full capacity, enough for you to use! Practice your hands with these Balonons! ”

Gruss's face suddenly showed an excited look: "General, are what you said true?" Do you really want us to go to war? He rubbed his hands together excitedly, and his look of surprise was overflowing, as if he was happier to let them go to war than to marry his wife.

Qi Mi said: "Of course, General Cheng is hard to follow, your air force still needs to continue to grow and develop, and in the future, it can even become an independent regiment, or a unit directly independent of the ground army troops, you must work hard and don't disappoint General Cheng's hopes for you!" ”

Gruss was even more excited: "Yes! Gruss guarantees to complete the mission! I'm going to pick out some of the best pilots and shooters in the right away and prepare for the bombing mission against the Baleno! Rest assured, Gruss will not let you down! After saying that, he strode out of Cheng Lei's office after Cheng Lei waved him to leave.

Gruss walked on the road outside the command center, and the excitement in his heart had not yet passed. What Qi Mi said just now made him completely moved, in the future, their pilot brigade will form an independent regiment? Originally, he thought that at most, it would be good to set up an independent battalion! Moreover, Qi Mi also said that even in the future, will their air force units be independent of the ground army units and directly become an army on the same level as the army units?

In this case, if it can really be realized at that time, I am afraid that he Gruss can really become the leader of the air force, and there are several air regiments under his command, so the power in his hands may be comparable to the current Cheng Lei, right? Gruth couldn't think too much about such a beautiful picture, because he was afraid that if his dream was shattered and could not be realized in the future, he would be very disappointed.

What kind of quality is Cheng Lei now, he has two wives, and the demeanor of the second wife who is alluring to the country and the city makes the entire Lion King Base and the men of the Lion King Army feel overwhelmed. Gruss didn't expect to have a wife as beautiful as Xiling, as long as she was as beautiful as Qinglan, she was very satisfied, thinking about it, his saliva was about to flow.

He quickly wiped his saliva and looked around, only to breathe a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was looking. He is the leader of the Lion King's air force in the future, how can people see such an embarrassing appearance!

Of course, Cheng Lei and Qi Mi don't know what Gruss looks like now, otherwise they will definitely laugh, this Gruss has a serious beard, I didn't expect it to be so funny. However, Grus's skills and business ability are unquestionable, and his leadership level is also very high, and the pilots and bombardiers and shooters are obedient to his orders, which shows that this man is very good at leadership, especially talented.

Now the Lion King Base and the Lion King Army lack such a leader, who can pay equal attention to grace and power and let his subordinates be loyal to him, which is also the professional leadership talent that Cheng Lei needs. After Qi Mi explained all the personality and ability characteristics of Gruss to Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei also felt that Gruss was indeed the most suitable leader of the pilot group now, and if there was no accident in the future, he would also be the leader of the pilot group after it was expanded into an air regiment or air force unit in the future. After all, at that time, people also relied on merit and qualifications step by step, as long as there was not too much fault, Cheng Lei still recognized Gruss as very good.

On the morning of the next day, in a third-level corps camp under a second-level corps under the Baluno Divine Banner Corps, Guoxing was smoking a cigarette and drinking tea, which was particularly comfortable.

At this time, a soldier came in and made a report and said: "Your Excellency Deputy Commander, Your Excellency Commander has sent me to deliver a message to you, and at eight o'clock this morning, our corps will launch an attack on Vientiane City with the main force, and the other two third-level corps will carry out auxiliary attacks as our two flanks. The Commander said that you will lead the 1st Pioneer Battalion and the 2nd Pioneer Battalion to attack the third position of the Mixc, so please be prepared! ”

"What?!" Guoxing immediately stood up after hearing this: "This bold Du Zhibo, knowing that my cousin just asked me to come here to temporarily take refuge in preparation for a comeback, this guy actually asked me to take someone to fight?" Isn't that a joke? After saying that, Guoxing put on his military uniform and strode towards the barracks of the corps commander Du Zhibo.

As soon as he entered Du Zhibo's barracks, Guoxing almost didn't choke on him, because Du Zhibo's room was full of smoke, and those who didn't know thought that there was a fire in his room. But of course Guoxing knows that this is Du Zhibo smoking, who knows how many cigarettes this kid smoked, and he actually made so many cigarettes. Although Du Zhibo is a big smoking gun, Guoxing feels that ordinary people really can't do it if they can make so many cigarettes.

Guoxing forcibly endured the choking smoke and entered the barracks, and saw that Du Zhibo was still looking intently at the map on the table. He still had a pipe in his hand, and the cigarette smoke spread from it. After Guoxing walked over, Du Zhibo found out, and then raised his head: "Yo, isn't this the deputy commander of Guoxing?" Didn't I send someone to inform you to prepare for an attack on the third position in Vientiane City? How did you get here? ”

Guoxing was extremely angry in his heart, this Du Zhibo didn't know what he was doing here, and said angrily: "Lord Commander, don't you know my relationship with our marshal?" ”

Du Zhibo looked ignorant: "Your relationship with Dashuai?" What relationship? ”

Guoxing was completely annoyed: "Shenchuan Min Dashuai is my cousin!" Got it? ”

"Oh...... I see, but why are you telling me this? Du Zhibo still looked ignorant.

Guoxing was choked by him, his words were clear enough, but Du Zhibo was still like this, and he didn't seem to know Guoxing's intentions at all. Guoxing gritted his teeth word by word and said: "Your Excellency, my cousin Shenchuan Min asked me to come here to take shelter, not to lead troops to fight, and besides, how can I know how to fight a war as a logistics officer?" ”

Du Zhibo said with a straight face: "I don't care about the purpose of the commander to send you to my corps, I only know that you are an officer under me." As long as it is an officer under me, then you must make the best use of your talents, since you came to our combat corps and did not lead troops to fight, what do you want to do? Logistics officer? Do you want to be a cook, cook or feed the pigs on the farm? ”

Guoxing slapped the table and said, "Du Zhibo! Don't go too far, believe it or not, I'll go to my cousin now, your official position will soon be lost, believe it or not! ”

Du Zhibo also slapped the table and said, "Guoxing! Don't think that it's great to have a relative who is a senior official, then do you believe it or not, I will immediately go to the headquarters to find Marshal Sheriv and report what you are doing now? ”

As soon as Guoxing heard Xiurif's name, he immediately looked like a frosted eggplant, with a look of fear on his face. Because Xiu Lifu said that he should never let him see or hear the name Guoxing in the future. If Du Zhibo goes to sue, Xiu Lifu will immediately think of himself, and at that time, his good life will really come to an end!

Seeing that Guoxing was silent, Du Zhibo said: "Since you have come to our combat corps, then you will perform well and make contributions to our Balunou Empire!" I really don't understand why the wise and martial Shenchuan Min Dashuai would have such a wretched cousin! Now go and prepare for the attack, you can't delay any longer, or you know what the consequences will be! Do you hear that? ”

Guoxing had no choice but to reply: "Yes! Your Excellency Commander...... But my lord, I really don't know how to fight a war or how to command, do you think it's ......? ”

Du Zhibo saw that Guoxing had already softened, so he didn't plan to force him too much, after all, Guoxing was Shenchuan Min's cousin, and Shenchuan Min was their handsome. Du Zhibo said: "You just go directly to the battalion commander of the 1st Pioneer Battalion, he is the most powerful officer in our regiment, he will tell you what to do, but you don't have any more war weariness and negativity, do you hear?" ”

Guoxing saluted and said, "Yes!" Your Excellency, Commander! After saying that, he said goodbye, and after walking out of Du Zhibo's barracks, Guoxing realized that he was very wrong, he thought that he could take the big backer of Shenchuan Min to hold Du Zhibo, but he didn't expect Du Zhibo to eat this set at all, but used Xiu Lifu to take a handful of Guoxing, which directly made Guoxing completely softened. Guoxing couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly, this is really stealing chickens and rice!

He immediately returned to his barracks, and then sent for the commander of the first and second vanguard battalions. When he asked the battalion commander of the 1st Pioneer Battalion, he learned that Du Zhibo had already arranged a detailed attack plan, and was only waiting for their attacking troops to go to war. Guoxing suddenly felt that he had really underestimated Du Zhibo before, such an old oilman, even if it was three Guoxing, it was not enough to see it!

Du Zhibo's plan is very simple, their corps is the latest to be transferred to the front line only the day before yesterday, and it is a full and fresh force. Therefore, they have to give full play to their strengths and let the long-tired soldiers in Vientiane City taste the hardships. They decided to first bombard the cover with artillery, then the infantry to advance into the trenches, the armored tanks on the middle road, and finally the cavalry to finish.

This is the opposite of what the other legions have planned, but Duzhiber likes to do the opposite, and every time he does it, he has received good results. Of course, Guoxing has no objection to this, and he can't have any objection at all, because he is just a layman, and the reason why he is the leader of this attack is actually very simple, that is, he wants the officers and soldiers below to see that their deputy corps commander has personally come to supervise the battle, so the people below will definitely work hard to kill the enemy and will not drop the chain.

It was Du Zhibo's idea that made Guoxing go to the battlefield, but in fact, Guoxing was just a disguise, and it had no substantive use at all. Moreover, the commander of the 1st Pioneer Battalion said that he was the leader of this attack, and Guoxing only needed to guide it at the right time. But when is the right time? He didn't say it, and Guoxing didn't ask, but in Guoxing's opinion, when was not the right time, because he didn't dare to command indiscriminately, otherwise Shenchuan Min wouldn't let him go easily if he knew.

At 7:50 a.m., all the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Pioneer Battalions had already assembled and were ready to go. Guoxing stood in front of the troops of nearly a thousand people, cleared his throat and was about to say two words, but the commander of the first vanguard battalion began to speak: "Brothers, there is no need to say anything else, today we must take their third position and plunge a steel knife into the enemy's heart!" Do you have faith? ”

"Yes!"

"We are confident!"

"Have faith!"

"Good!" The commander of the First Pioneer Battalion said with satisfaction: "Our Commander of the Guoxing Deputy Corps has personally come to boost our morale, everyone must kill the enemy bravely, fight for our goal, and resolutely not retreat, after the battle, our deputy corps commander will have a rich reward!" Brothers, let's go! ”

Guoxing opened his mouth, but the words came to his lips but did not come out. It's not that he didn't want to say it, but because the commander of the 1st Pioneer Battalion didn't give him a chance to say it at all. He wanted to be stunned, but there was no chance to pretend, and he couldn't stop scolding the commander of the First Pioneer Battalion in his heart, this kid didn't take himself seriously! It's just contempt for the boss, hmph, let's see!

Guoxing sat in the only car in the headquarters, very sullen, but when he thought that their guys who were about to contact the other party's position were afraid that they would be in a different place at some point, his mood was much better. Anyway, it is impossible for Guoxing to go to the front line, he will only watch the people in front of him fight in the rear, isn't it just for him to lead the troops, he has already brought the soldiers to the place, and it is not his business to take care of it.

Their plan was very smooth, and from the beginning of the artillery bombardment, the enemy was already bombed to the point that he could not raise his head. Many of the positions and fortifications that had been repaired and built were blown away beyond recognition by this dense artillery barrage. At this moment, even if the Balonos can't attack it, the MixC side will have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild it again, which really annoys the federal army on the side of the Vientiane City.

However, Guoxing was not bothered, and when he saw the effect of this bombing, Guoxing couldn't help but applaud, and then the infantry of the 1st and 2nd Pioneer Battalions began to assault the enemy's position along the edge of the position. Just as the vanguard was about to reach the enemy's position, suddenly the sound of shells breaking through the air sounded in their ears, but it was different from the sound of those cannons breaking through the air, and it was going to buzz.

When they looked up, they saw something like a big bird hovering above their heads, and they were still "laying eggs". Before they could react, the bombs had already fallen on top of their heads, and one by one the figures were blown to the ground, and the armored tanks behind were also affected by the infantry in front, and it was not particularly difficult to advance or retreat.
