Chapter 940: Wind and Snow Raid
In the wee hours of the morning, the Heavenly Demon Army finally understood that Xilin Gol City was by no means as fragile as imagined. After paying a great price, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
The Celestial Demon Army, fearless of death, retreated like a tide, leaving behind only armor, black gas, and charred corpses all over the ground.
The fires continued, and the searchlights on the city were still bright. The exorcist warriors staggered and supported each other. The medics rushed forward, hurriedly taking away the seriously wounded, and then dropped the corpses of the demons from the city.
At the head of the city, the red flag is still hunting and flying, and the straight figure under the city is still standing.
As long as Deng Bochuan is still there, the red flag will not fall! As long as the red flag does not fall, Xilin Gol City will not be destroyed!
The flag commanders who were fighting on the front line were all scorched and embarrassed, some of their whole bodies were attacked by demonic energy, causing their skin to be pitch black, and some were affected by the flames, and half of their combat uniforms were scorched.
Some of them were covered with blood, which was the result of the resistance to the demon army.
Of course, there are also masters who are as full of energy as me and Zhang Wuren and have never participated in the war.
Deng Bochuan's eyes swept over, and he said in a deep voice: "The ambush plan failed, this shadow demon is not simple!" It's much more powerful than the self-proclaimed resourceful ghost king in Tsing Yi! Flag Chief Chen Qiankun, hard work. ”
Chen Qiankun's whole body was pitch black, his body was full of demonic energy, and he was the most seriously injured. He resisted the two demon generals at the city gate, although he was not afraid of death, and would rather die than retreat, but after all, he was outnumbered, and more than half of his exorcist soldiers were killed and wounded, and even he himself was seriously injured, resulting in a short loss of the city gate.
But this was planned by Deng Bochuan a long time ago!
At the location of the city gate, countless napalm bombs were buried, and there was also a rune network formed by a high-voltage power grid. Deng Bochuan had long known that with the power of Chen Qiankun's banner, he would not be able to defend the city gate at all, so he deliberately let him guard here.
Once he is defeated, it is very likely that the Shadow Demon will think that a breakthrough in Xilin Gol City has appeared, and when the time comes, the army will gather to tear through the defenses and rush in.
At that time, that is, when the Zhenbei Army started.
Zhang Wuren and I were ambushed on the side, while Su Zi'an and Shennan led 30,000 exorcist soldiers, ready to assault at any time.
Coupled with the flames in the sky, the high-voltage power grid blocks the retreat, and it can be said that the trend of catching turtles in the urn has become. In this battle, even if you can't annihilate most of the Heavenly Demon Army, you can definitely inflict heavy losses on the other party!
But people are not as good as heaven, Chen Qiankun was indeed defeated, and even in order to be realistic, he almost lost his life at the city gate.
But at the critical time, the other party withdrew his troops and forcibly resisted the idea of forcibly entering the city.
What does this mean? It means that Shadow Fiend is likely to see that this is an ambush!
At a critical time, the enemy didn't take the bait, which made me hold back a fire in my heart for no reason. The reason why Zhang Wuren and I didn't do it was because we were guarding against each other's master attacks.
Second, I want to be the main force of the ambush and completely kill the demon army that has entered the ambush circle in the shortest possible time.
The plot didn't come in handy, which inevitably made me feel a little angry.
In contrast, Deng Bochuan was much more indifferent. He has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he has long been accustomed to all this. If you succeed, you will be happy, but if you don't succeed, you won't lose anything.
I saw him say quickly: "Count the casualties of each banner, and the team that has lost more than half of it will temporarily retreat and reorganize." In addition, Chen Qiankun's department can give priority to selecting people from the exorcists to supplement. ”
"Teams that did not participate in the battle, seize the time to replace the city defense. Pay attention to the morale of the exorcists, and if there is any fear or fear, you should solve it as soon as possible. ”
The flag commanders agreed one after another, and then arranged for the deputies to go down and get busy.
Deng Bochuan said again: "Logistics Department, how about the loss of materials?" If there is a long and protracted war, how long can Xilin Gol City hold out? ”
A thin man said with a sad face: "Commander Deng, after a fierce battle for a day and a night, about one-fifth of the materials were lost. Of these, almost half of the high-napalm bombs were used! If there is another siege battle like this, we are afraid that there will be no flame suppression! ”
The hearts of the people who said this sank slightly, you must know that the reason why the exorcist soldiers were able to rely on the city wall and fight head-on without falling behind was that the high napalm was really a great contribution.
If the napalm is depleted and there is no flame suppression, the casualties of the exorcist are estimated to increase exponentially!
Deng Bochuan pondered for a moment and said, "Look for a substitute for napalm, or look for a yang fire instead." This war is protracted, and we cannot afford to run out of resources at the beginning of the war. ”
The man added, "High napalm is just one of them. In this battle, the rune saber collapsed nearly 10,000 handles, and because this thing involved the ancient runes, only the military factory of the First Research Institute could repair it. I've urgently dispatched a batch of sabers and lightning shields in stock, but if there is another big fight, it won't last long. ”
"Fuel reserves are sufficient at the moment, our gunships can compete with the Skeleton Birds for air supremacy, and armored fighting vehicles can carry out assault operations. But the power plant in Xilin Gol has been paralyzed due to overload. ”
"At present, there is only one power plant that supplies the energy in the city. I suggest that Xilin Gol City be under military management, except for supporting military equipment such as light and shadow runes and high-voltage power grids, all electrical facilities will be delivered on demand! ”
Deng Bochuan's eyes froze and asked, "The current transmitted from the rear can't arrive in time?" Can only rely on the power plant in the city? ”
Tie Fei took a step forward and said, "Commander, when the Ghost King in Tsing Yi was attacking the city, he once sent a team of evil masters to infiltrate the line of life and death and destroy the high-voltage line. ”
"That team of evil cults has been completely wiped out, but three base stations have been destroyed in a row, and the current from the mainland cannot be transmitted for a while."
I was dumbfounded, and then I realized that fighting a war is really not as simple as I thought.
Exorcists subdue demons and eliminate demons, and generally prepare things by themselves, such as rune paper, bronze mirrors, mahogany swords, flames, and the like.
Even if we are an exorcist master of this level, we have our own sun true fire, black and white life and death swords, and the like. Then, with a righteous spirit.
But in war, the power of the individual is limited after all. We can win against a hundred and eighty, or even a thousand, of evil. But tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, demons, plus countless masters, personal martial arts are really nothing.
At this time, only the power of the collective is the most powerful.
But there are too many things related to the war, and Xilin Gol City has been fighting repeatedly, and all kinds of problems have immediately appeared.
Energy, supplies, the morale of the exorcist soldiers, even food, clothing, and the saber in their hands have to be considered. These jobs are really not something that ordinary people can do.
It's no wonder that each of the Flag Commanders has three or five Deputy Flag Commanders under them, and these Deputy Flag Commanders may not be very powerful, and some are not even exorcists.
But they are the ones who specialize in these trivial matters.
Deng Bochuan said: "Send people to repair the damaged power station immediately. In addition, we count the number of energy sources, high napalm, fuel, artillery shells, flares, and various bullets! Let the staff give a detailed rationing plan! ”
"In any case, everything must be based on defense, and only when Xilin Gol City is defended can there be a future."
The flag commanders looked solemn and nodded yes one after another.
Deng Bochuan said: "The number of casualties should be summarized and handed over to the General Staff. As for the remains of the war dead, try to find as many as possible those who can be found, and if they can't find them, the bereavement benefits must also be in place. We can't chill the hearts of the soldiers who are alive. ”
In fact, these trivial tasks can be done by themselves without Deng Bochuan's orders, and those deputy flag commanders who are proficient in internal affairs can do it themselves. The battle of life and death has been going on for more than three years, and there is already a complete set of operational processes.
After Deng Bochuan finished his order, a tired look appeared on his face, and he said: "Okay, although the situation is serious, the Great Commander of Emperor Ming has already led the newly formed Death Exorcism Corps, and rushed to Xilin Gol City in the starry night to help. The first echelon, led by Zhang Guigui, will arrive in two days. ”
Even though the news had been announced, everyone was still in high spirits when they heard that the Great Commander of Emperor Ming had personally rushed to the aid of Xilin Gol City. If it weren't for the current skeleton birds occupying half of the sky and constantly harassing Zhang Gui's helicopter formation, I'm afraid Zhang Guigui would have come faster.
As soon as the Death Legion arrives, what Shadow Demon, what Heavenly Demon Army, isn't it all in tatters while talking and laughing?
Seeing that the crowd's morale had improved, Deng Bochuan smiled and said, "Do you have anything else to say?" If not, guard your area and don't slack off! Remember, difficulties are temporary, and we Middle-earth exorcists are the pride of the heavens, and we are definitely not conquered by those filthy and vile evils! ”
Seeing that everyone's faces were full of brilliance, they heard Zhang Wuren suddenly say: "Everyone, slow down, the stakes are very high, I have a word, I must say it." ”
Zhang Wuren is the leader of the folk exorcists in Middle-earth, and he is also the first top master to grow up in Middle-earth, except for the Great Commander of Emperor Ming.
Even if he didn't have any position in the Zhenbei Army, no one dared to underestimate him.
Deng Bochuan said: "Please speak." ”
Zhang Wuren hesitated for a moment and said, "In the early hours of tonight, the blizzard will not stop, and the Tianyu Demon Army will launch a sneak attack on Xilin Gol City. We have to be proactive, not waiting! ”
As soon as these words came out, all the flag commanders looked at Zhang Wuren, their eyes full of strangeness.
Now there are only a few hours left until the middle of the night, and the Heavenly Demon Army has just been defeated, and it is estimated that he has not yet repaired. Would you really choose to sneak attack tonight?
A flag commander said: "Mr. Zhang Wuren, is the news reliable?" ”
Although the Heavenly Demon Army had just been defeated, the Zhenbei Army was no better. The army suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted, and if it was okay to defend passively, it would be dangerous to take the initiative to attack, or to take the initiative in a snowstorm.
