Chapter 1181: The Night Is Thick
Lieutenant General James led the coalition forces to retreat continuously, panicked, like a lost dog. After running for two hours in a row, he was as tired as a dead dog, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Chinese army was not chasing.
The army set up camp and began to set up defense.
In the temporary command post, James and the generals of various countries were extremely embarrassed, with horror and joy in their eyes. It was horrifying the horror of the Chinese army, but fortunately it survived. The Russian general wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "It's so dangerous, if the Chinese army is in hot pursuit, we really have to plant it here." ”
The French general nodded, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Chinese soldiers are too fierce, one by one like a lion and a tiger." ”
There was a palpitation in his eyes, startled by the previous scene.
The general of the American Federation had a slightly serious expression, thinking about the battle scene, and finally said in a very slow and low tone: "The soldiers of the Chinese army have a spirit - they are not afraid of death. Well, to put it simply, it's not afraid of death. The same is desperate on the battlefield, Chinese soldiers dare to fight and kill, and they can risk their lives for victory. But the soldiers of our American Federation do not have this kind of spirit, they don't have the courage to risk their lives, and this is the most fundamental reason for the failure of hand-to-hand combat. ”
He sighed lightly and continued: "On the battlefield, especially in hand-to-hand combat, the morale of one side is high, which will lead to changes in the situation of the entire battlefield, thus forming a brave and fearless aura. We lost, and rightfully so. ”
"That's a mystery!"
The Russian general was weak and looked unimpressed.
James's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brown eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said slowly: "I agree with the view that Chinese soldiers dare to fight and are not afraid of death, and even I think that whether it is now or in the future, as long as our soldiers do not have the spirit of Chinese soldiers, once we meet on the battlefield, if our weapons are stronger than the other party, or our strategy is higher than the other party, it will be fine." But if the two armies meet and fight, we will definitely lose. ”
The French general then said: "According to this analysis, whoever still has the heart to fight should simply withdraw." ”
"It's not about discouragement, it's about recognizing your own shortcomings."
James frowned and said solemnly: "There is a word in China, attacking the opponent with one's own strengths, which means attacking the opponent with one's own strengths. The current situation is that the Chinese army is attacking our weaknesses with its strengths, and we are not playing to our strengths, but meeting them with our weaknesses. We have to adjust our strategy, stop attacking, and change the whole line to defense. ”
The Russian general frowned and said, "The plan from the governor's residence requires us to take the initiative. ”
The U.S. generals shook their heads lightly and retorted: "The commanders let the army take the initiative to attack, and that was because they were afraid that Qi Zhenhai would become suspicious. Now that we have lost one game, it is a good idea to switch to defense in an all-round way, and it is reasonable not to attack. Next, according to the advice of Lieutenant General James, it was completely changed to defense, blocking the Chinese army from moving south, and acting according to the plan. ”
"I agree!" The French army general nodded.
The Russian general said: "I agree! ”
Seeing that the main army agreed, James did not consider the situation of the rest of the countries, and directly said: "Since everyone has a unified opinion, we will all turn to defense." ”
After some discussion, the strategy was changed.
……
By the course of a day, the battle for Jardine's Hill had subsided. Qi Zhenhai, Chen Yucheng and Liu Jintang were worried that the defeat of the countries would be a fraud, so they kept sending soldiers to inquire about the news, and finally determined that the armies of the countries were retreating normally and did not arrange ambushes. Although the three of them had regrets in their hearts, when they thought that the tanks of various countries did not appear, the regret that there was no pursuit was gone.
At a critical time, it is better to be safe.
Jardine's Hill, where the army is stationed.
In the command post, the commander of the regiment stood straight and said loudly: "Division commander, the foreigners will defend the whole line after retreating." It seems that they failed to take the initiative twice and were already scared and did not plan to take the initiative again. ”
"Hahaha......"
Qi Zhenhai laughed out loud with a proud look on his face.
"At the beginning, the foreigners thought that with tanks, they could invade China, but now they haven't even gone out of Hong Kong, let alone Guangdong, so they changed to defense. Since the foreigners have changed their tactics, their tanks are useless, so there is no need to scruple. Now, we should take the initiative and take the initiative to take Hong Kong. The order went down, rested today, launched a strong attack tomorrow, went straight to the Governor's Palace of Hong Kong, and won the commanders of various countries to be regarded as the final victory. ”
Qi Zhenhai was full of pride and high morale.
The head of the regiment turned to carry out the order, and his heart was extremely excited.
……
After dark, the night is dark.
A road thirty miles west of Jardine's Mountain, a place in the middle of nowhere, rarely visited.
In the night, torches shine.
There aren't actually many torches, but they are just plugged on the sides of the road, so you can see the situation on the road clearly. By the light of the fire on the road, you can clearly see the tanks moving. There were more than twenty tanks, and there was a long line. This tank team was a strategy agreed upon by Gobard, Ma Hui and others, allowing the tanks to avoid Qi Zhenhai's frontal fire, make a detour to Qi Zhenhai's rear, and cut off Qi Zhenhai's rear road. With the power of the tank to destroy the withering and decaying on land, rushing into the rear of Qi Zhenhai will be a dragon into the sea.
The army led by James was only used to attract Qi Zhenhai's attention.
……
Hong Kong, Governor's Residence.
At night, commanders and envoys from various countries gathered.
Gobard's expression was serious, with a look of anticipation in his eyes, and he said loudly: "The tank corps has gone out to battle and is on its way to cut off Qi Zhenhai's back road. We will win this battle, and everyone is waiting for the result. As for Lieutenant General James's all-round defense, I think it's okay. After a defeat, it is normal to become defensive, and Qi Zhenhai will not doubt it. ”
Ma Hui said: "Well, implement the defensive strategy for the time being!" ”
Hong Kong Governor Robinson smiled slightly and said, "The plan has been arranged, so go down and rest." ”
After everyone heard this, they no longer shirked.
For the sake of fighting Qi Zhenhai, they stayed up for a few nights, and their spirits could not support it for a long time. The commanders and envoys of various countries left one after another, and soon only the Auxiliary Secretary for Politics, Mao Sha, remained. He looked a little worried, and said, "Mr. Governor, after the departure of the tanks, the plan has been fully launched. Now, how to deal with Liu Yongfu's matter? ”
Robinson thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Liu Yongfu is just a common man, no weapons, no army, no climate, don't care." Wait for the dust of the war between the countries and China to settle. After a pause, Robinson said: "O Maisha, to tell you the truth, China's army is very strong, and I don't even know if I can win or not, so let's take a break." ”
Masha nodded and sighed softly.
Robinson couldn't be sure what the final outcome of the war with China would be, let alone he, a man who was not good at war and politics. Mao Sha is still a little uneasy in his heart, is it right or wrong to let Liu Yongfu operate in Hong Kong?
