Chapter 80: Sneak Attack on the Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment

Five days later, the Einsatzgruppen had advanced to the front of the 768 position, but the 768 position was on a particularly wide grassland, and it was a hidden position specially built by the Lion King Army, so they didn't notice it at all. However, Helik and the officers had a very unique eye, they were all officers who had experienced many battles, so they could see at a glance that the position in front of them was different from the rest of the place, and Helik immediately stopped the advance of the team.

At this time, the sentinel he sent out also returned, and reported to Helik that there was a large position on the way to the Lion King's base. However, it is not clear whether this position has just been built or has already been built, but it can be seen that this large position is very hidden, and it is impossible for these professional reconnaissance teams to identify it at all.

A thought suddenly occurred in Helick's heart, and it was quite ridiculous, he wondered if this position could have landed out of thin air? Because Cherymbin had already sent people to explore this area before, and it was accurately marked on the map that there was nothing special here, just like the rest of the steppe. The only difference is that this place is a three-way road to Daheng City and the Lion King Base, to the southeast is Daheng City, to the northeast is the Lion King Base, and that's it.

But now it seems that this place is really not so simple, they can't pass by so rashly, otherwise they will be the ones who will suffer. Helik took the lookout and carefully observed the situation on the position, although he didn't know who the people on this position were, but according to his intuition, the people on this position were definitely related to the Lion King base.

Could it be that their march to attack the Lion King's base has already been discovered by the other party? Helik suddenly remembered the people who had attacked them in the Bandit Mountain before, and it must have been these people who had passed the news to the Lion King's army. At first, he naively thought that those people were just bandits hired by the Lion King's army, who attacked them for some reward. Now it seems that it is not only the bandits who sneak attack the Einsatzgruppen Corps, this Lion King Army is really capable, and it can put some troops in the bandit mountain without being detected by the Balono, and it really has a few brushes.

Helik summoned the commanders of his three third-level corps, and the three corps commanders were also a little confused, because there was no position in front of them in their forward route.

When Helik saw their appearance, he said with some gloom: "Everyone, you have all seen the position now in front of us. This must be what the Lion King Army set up to deal with us, and only by crossing this position can we go to the Lion King base. It seems that we will not be able to silently arrive at the Lion King's base to carry out a sneak attack as previously planned, so we can only fight them head-to-head. ”

One of the corps commanders said: "Marshal, if they choose to stop us here, the purpose is obvious, they definitely don't want us to get close to the Lion King base." What if we split up some of our forces and sneak into the back of this position and go directly to the Lion King's base, what do you think? ”

The other corps commander shook his head and said, "This is a bit unrealistic, because if there are more people sent, they will definitely find out." If you don't want to be discovered by them, then you can only send a small number of people, and what is the use of a small number of people to sneak attack the Lion King's base? Although the Lion King's base is not large, it is also complete, and it is impossible for them not to leave troops at home, and rashly sending a small number of soldiers to infiltrate the past can only send them to death. ”

The previous corps commander was a little unhappy: "According to what you say, then we can only have to fight with them?" People are ready, if we attack, we can only take human lives to cushion up, how many lives do we have to cushion to break through this position? That's not how our Barono's elite soldiers are used! ”

The other corps commander was about to speak, but was interrupted by Helik: "None of your ideas are very perfect, what I think about is what means to attack if we attack." As for sending a small number of troops into this method, it is definitely not possible, it is indeed sending people to death, so can we think about it the other way around? What is the Lion King's army most afraid of now? ”

The three corps commanders did not react for a while, and looked at each other. Helik continued: "What they fear most is our superior forces, and if the people who attacked us before are really their men, then those people must be hanging us far behind us, I have sent people to investigate, there is indeed an army behind us, numbering in the thousands, so that we do not find that they are far away from us. I have a plan, we take the military capacity of a third-level corps to attack them directly, I don't believe that the people of the Lion King Army can sit still, they can't sit still, we have a chance, and then they will be messed up and all the flaws will come out. ”

The three corps commanders didn't expect such a layer at all, so they all applauded, and said that the big marshal's method was very good, so they would do it according to the big marshal's method! Helik is also very proud, he is the only one of the three first-class corps commanders who slowly climbed up from the bottom of the small soldiers, and he has a lot of combat experience and experience in leading troops, so Xiu Lifu will let him clean up the mess.

Muntari's Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment was now following the Balonons from a distance, and Muntali had no idea that the Baronou were aware of their presence. He also thought that if the Balonos started to attack the Lion King's base, they would be caught off guard by a flank attack. He has now positioned himself as a Lion King base man instead of a Balon'ou person, because he has fought for the Balon'ou people for many years and finally ended up like that, once felt that he had nothing to love, and finally came to the Lion King Base and was appreciated by Cheng Lei to get a second life.

Now that Montali has fought wholeheartedly for the Lion King Army, no matter who wants to be unfavorable to the Lion King base, he will give the other party a head-on blow, if nothing else, just for Cheng Lei's grace, he will do his best. And now he has become one of the high-ranking officers of the Lion King's army, with absolute real power, so his days in Balen'ou have long been long gone.

"Report to the regiment commander, now that the enemy has reached a few kilometers in front of our newly set position, he may soon launch an assault on the 768 position." A sentinel returned and reported to Montali.

Muntali nodded, waved his hand and motioned for him to go back to rest, then he took out his map and looked at the 768 direction on the map. This is the three-way road to the Lion King's base and Daheng City, and if the Balon's people want to pass through, they must take this position. Otherwise, they would not be able to escape the blow if they made a detour, because these were two small hills twenty or thirty meters high, and to the north was a dense forest, and it would be very difficult to march in. To the south, there is a swamp, and the size of the marsh is so large that it is impossible to detour around it, as it stretches all the way to the north of the canyon fortress of Itos.

If the Balon'ou wanted to go there directly, there would be a large number of garrisons waiting for them there, because when the Balon'ou wanted to attack the Great Heng City, Mogoda defeated them with the garrison on the grassland. Now the garrison on the steppe is of course still there, that is, those cavalry, there are about two or three thousand people.

The 768 position was set up on top of two hill packs, and some dark forts and bright forts were dug on them, and a large trench position was dug in front of the hill pack, just to wait for the arrival of the Balono. Muntali had already seen what was going on over there, so he had to wait, wait for the Balonos to attack Position 768, and when they attacked, it would be the time for the Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment to flank them.

Muntali's idea was good, but he didn't know that he had been targeted by the Balono, and now the Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment had become a dish in the eyes of the enemy. Because if Helik can eat them, Helik will make up for Cherimbin's previous loss, and this credit is simply great, and Helik will be very rewarded for it.

Helik directly sent a whole third-level corps to deal with Muntali and them, after all, Muntali and they showed good combat effectiveness before, and they were able to eat more than 3,000 people with weak troops, which surprised Helik very much. But now that Helik has set his sights on them, then Helik thinks they will definitely not be able to escape!

The Minothy Corps was the leader of the three third-level corps of the Einsatzgruppen Corps, and Minoche was also the commander of this third-level corps, and his command ability was very outstanding in the attack on a large city in Etos on the southern battlefield, so he was personally commended by Shuriv. Now he was sent to deal with Montali's Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment, and Helik thought they were the most suitable.

Minoch rearranged what the sentinels sent by Helik had discovered, and then drew up a route of march, marching directly from the north, evading the outposts sent by Muntali, and then taking them by surprise. The straight-line distance between their two armies was only about twenty kilometers, so a night's march would definitely be able to reach them even if they took a long detour, and Minoche decided that he must rush to the vicinity of the Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment before five o'clock in the morning, and then immediately attack, and must eat them all!

Knowing that the Balenos had now stalled in front of the 768 position, Muntali was in no hurry to advance. He arranged for the men of the Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment to camp and rest on the spot, and they must seize the time to rest and maintain full energy when preparing for the battle later. And told them that they would continue their march to the southeast the next day, so that everyone must hear the rallying cry clearly.

During the night, the soldiers of the Minoshi Regiment marched silently, except for the sound of shoes on the grass, the hoofs of the horses and the creaking of the wagons, and the occasional coughing, there was no sound of anyone talking at all. This fully illustrates the seriousness and strictness of the military discipline of the Minothy Corps, which no one dares to violate at all.

At three o'clock in the morning they had arrived near the temporary camp of the Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment, and Minoshi ordered everyone to stand by while he sent a few sentries to inquire about the situation. When the sentry returned, he reported that the enemy was well defended, with at least 200 soldiers patrolling as sentinels, and their camp was ready to fight.

The corners of Minothy's mouth showed disdain, a team of more than a thousand people, no matter how well defended it was, was crushed in front of four thousand Balen'ou elite soldiers. Moreover, the Minothy corps still has to sneak attack them, and they may not be able to withstand two rounds of attacks at all. Minoche looked coldly at everything in the Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment and ordered everyone in the regiment to start resting now, but not to make any noise or light to attract the attention of the enemy.

Minohi's reason for doing this was to give the soldiers a rest and a bite to eat after a night of marching, and then they were about to enter the heat of battle. Then his orderly brought a military can, opened it, handed it to Minohy, and unscrewed the lid of the kettle, but the smell of wine came from the kettle. Minoche was a heavy drinker, so he usually filled the kettle with wine and used it instead of water as a drink. He drank so much that he rarely got drunk, and because of this, his jug contained the kind of white wine that the Balonos specialize in instead of the red wine that people usually drink. This liquor is so strong that few people drink it, but it is Minothy's favorite.

Minoche took a sip of the kettle, looked a little intoxicated, and then took a spoon and scooped up a little can of meat and put it in his mouth. This kind of canned meat is actually just to satisfy hunger, and if it is used to make snacks, it must be very poor, but Minoshi is the kind of person who can only drink, so he still eats and drinks with relish. He ate and drank while letting his orderlies eat some too, and poured two sips of wine for the orderlies, seeing that the orderlies wanted to cough but didn't dare, Minoch couldn't help but hold back a smile and almost laughed.

At this time, the sentries sent out came back in waves to report: "The other party's sentries have changed the guard, and the spirit of the new sentries is not very good, which may be the influence of the march in the past few days." "Minoshi didn't need them to analyze it, of course he could analyze it himself, these sentries must have been very tired from the previous march, and now they have rested after a good night's sleep, so they are sore, this is a common problem for everyone, and of course he himself has felt this way. This is also the reason why Minoshi did not let the soldiers rest completely before marching, and then rest when the group was taken, this is Minohy's plan.

At this time, another sentry came to report: "There are groups of hidden machine guns found in the enemy's camp, the number is unknown, but they will certainly be a great obstacle to our attack." "This Minoshi had already thought of it, and he brought a lot of artillery, including dozens of new howitzers, of course, in order to focus on fighting those machine gun groups and not allowing them to cause too much damage to themselves.

When the hour reached half-past four, Minoshi ordered all the resting soldiers to be called up at once, and then the vanguard was assigned, and all three vanguard battalions were to attack each other as the vanguard. Behind them were the strength of five combat battalions, and there were artillery battalions behind them to provide them with artillery support, such a large-scale plan was to deal with the 1,000 or so men of the Iron Tiger Infantry Regiment, which was also a thorough preparation for their previous defeat at Bandit Mountain.
