Chapter 177: Desert Fox (Part II)
In the blink of an eye, days passed.
In the early morning, the sun rises as usual, shedding rays of sunlight on the endless yellow sand.
The Great Desert of Uuris, waking up from sleep.
At this moment, somewhere only more than 100 miles away from the Principality of Qianjiang, more than 10,000 elites of the Lan Army, plus the armies of the Principality of Qianjiang and the Principality of Houjiang, a total of more than 33,000 people, have already lined up and are waiting for the arrival of the Tang Army led by Rommel!
Command post of the 1st Division of the Arashi Praetorian Guard.
Marquis of the Lanlong Kingdom and commander of the First Division, Seth;
Grand Duke of the Former Principality of Xinjiang, Moritz;
Grand Duke of the Principality of Houjiang, Cam;
and a group of generals and officers under their command, as many as 20 people, gathered here.
"Marquis of Seth, at the moment, the Tang Army and the allied forces in Mojiang have a total of more than 40,000 people, and they are less than 60 miles away from us, and I have no bottom in my heart!" Grand Duke Moritz of the former Principality of Xinjiang worried.
"Yes!"
Grand Duke Cam of the Houjiang Duchy echoed: "The outcome of this battle is really unpredictable, whether you can win it or not, it is completely up to you, Marquis of Seth." ”
No wonder the two Grand Dukes of the Former Principality and the Principality of the Later Frontier are worried, they are really afraid!
The strength of the Principality of Mojiang, they are not worried, mainly because they are worried about the rumored 30,000 elites of the Tang Army. They are a small principality in the desert, a country that relies on the existence of the Lanlong Kingdom, with a small population, a harsh environment, poor weapons and equipment, and weak soldiers, all of which are issues they have to consider.
A few days ago, when they learned that the 30,000 reinforcements of the Don Army were coming, the two Grand Dukes, Moritz and Cam, were stunned on the spot.
Some of the ladies were even more frightened.
The 30,000 elites of the Tang Army, for them, are the existence of destroying the world and destroying the world, and they can easily destroy their existence with a wave of their hand.
More than 30 years ago, Ryusan, who had been defeated in the Great Desert of Uuris, defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the Principality of Mojiang in one battle with only more than 3,000 defeated troops.
30,000 elite Tang Army, wouldn't it be able to sweep the entire Uuris Desert?
The two Grand Dukes, Moritz and Cam, are also afraid that the country will be ruined, and they are also afraid that they will be cut off by the Tang Army!
If they had a choice, they wouldn't have flinched.
But.
They are small countries, where do they have a choice? Where is the opportunity to make your own choice? Under the persecution of the Marquis of Seth in the Lanlong Kingdom, they could only send troops, and there was no second choice.
This is the sorrow of a small desert country!
Grand Duke Moritz of the Former Principality of Xinjiang, looked at the Marquis of Seth, and said with his fists clenched: "Please!" ”
Grand Duke of Cam in the Houjiang Duchy: "Please! ”
At the moment, they have no second path to choose from, so they can only follow the Lanlong Kingdom one way to the dark.
The battle was won, and they were safe and sound, but at most they lost some weapons, ammunition and troops;
But once they lose, then they will be greeted by the bloody revenge of the Tang army, the country will be destroyed, and the heads will fall to the ground.
They can't be careless!
"Huh!"
Marquis of Lanjun Seth couldn't help sneering and said: "Isn't it the elite of the 30,000 Tang Army, what is there to be afraid of, if this is fighting in the plains and hilly areas, I will promise not to fire a shot, turn around and leave, but where is it now?" ”
"It's the desert!"
"It's our home turf!"
"It's not a place to let their Tang barbarians go wild!"
Marquis Seth of the Lan Army said loudly: "In this battle, our army will win!" ”
When the words fell, the Grand Duke Moritz of the Former Principality of Xinjiang and the Grand Duke of Cam of the Principality of Rear Xinjiang forced out a smile.
The two of them are still scared!
"Lord Marquis, the army of the Tang people suddenly stopped in the 032 area, and lined up, and there was no end at a glance when there were many people."
At this time, a signal soldier came with news.
Hearing this, the Marquis of Seth immediately stood up and shouted: "Pass my order, order all the coalition forces, immediately open out, I vow to defeat the Tang army in the 032 area in this battle!" ”
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
All the officers and soldiers of Lan should drink together, and their morale was amazing.
On the other hand, the officers of the two countries of the Principality of Former Xinjiang and the Principality of Later Xinjiang, from their Grand Duke to them, all frowned, and their hearts trembled.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the Marquis of Lanjun Seth raised his eyebrows, moved his gaze to the two grand dukes, and played with taste: "When the decisive battle is held later, I will trouble the armies of your two countries to fight in the front!" ”
The two grand dukes of the Principality of Former Xinjiang and the Principality of Later Xinjiang glanced at each other, how could they not understand what Seth meant?
This is using them as artillery fire!
But where did they dare to refuse, they could only bite their back molars and agree.
~~~~~
Time passes little by little,
In the blink of an eye, it was already around 2 p.m.
Regiment headquarters of the 512th Regiment of the Tang Army.
"Report to the regiment commander, the forward of the Lan army is less than 15 miles away from the location of our army!" The communications soldier said loudly.
Rommel nodded, "Keep scouting!" ”
"Yes, Captain."
After the communication troops retreated, Rommel immediately issued a series of orders after glancing at Baxia, Zhao Gang and others.
Rommel said loudly: "Now I order that the tens of thousands of civilians of the Mojiang Principality pretending to be my Tang Army all withdraw to the back of the position. ”
"Yes!"
The tyrant shouted loudly, immediately left the command post, and moved the tens of thousands of civilians of the Principality of Mojiang to the back of the team. These tens of thousands of civilians pretending to be the Tang Army are just Rommel pulling tiger skins, and if they really want to put them in front, it is estimated that they will not have to wait for the enemy to open fire, they will have to be scared.
Rommel continued: "Now I order, order all the officers and men of the 101st Regiment of the former Tang Army, and all the officers and men of my 512th Regiment, all lined up on the front line of the battle. At the same time, all the artillery and all the heavy machine guns of our army were also put in the front line for me. ”
"Yes!"
Everyone present cheered in unison.
After all the orders were given, the officers and soldiers of the 512th Regiment, together with the officers and soldiers of the Duchy of Mojiang, all moved quickly. I couldn't help but kick off a burst of sand and dust, covering the sky and the sun.
More than ten minutes later.
At the front of the Tang Army's array, rows of artillery and light and heavy machine guns were all erected, giving people a powerful visual impact.
Anyone who looks at it can't help but shout yes.
This is the momentum that tens of thousands of elites should have!
Indomitable!
Zhang Dabiao looked at Political Commissar Zhao Gang and frowned: "Political Commissar, right now, all the artillery and all the light and heavy machine guns of my allied army are all at the forefront, isn't this too dangerous?" ”
Zhao Gang nodded and said: "It's not just a danger, the regiment commander's approach is tantamount to cutting off our retreat." But because of this, the combat effectiveness of our allies will be even stronger, and it will be more like the performance of tens of thousands of elites! ”
Zhang Dabiao nodded.
- If the force is not enough for the opponent, suppress the opponent with firepower.
- Deploy weapons as far forward as possible.
- Fierce concentrated fire is the key to victory.
These three sentences, especially the second sentence "Deploy weapons as far forward as possible", are actually a very counterintuitive tactic, but they are being used by Rommel at the moment.
These three sentences, from Rommel's book "Infantry Offensive", are the essence of Rommel's life's tactics!
The third update of "" was sent.
