568 The power of rat droppings
The winter of 2031 will be colder than usual for the Redeemer. It's not that the temperature is low but the heart is cold, and the situation that was not bad suddenly took a sharp turn, and in just two or three months, it became a little out of control and overstretched.
The first is that the adjudicators have been hit hardest ever, or they have been destroyed. Due to the command error of the captain Moroz, the nearly 200 adjudicators who attacked Whitewater City first divided their troops to the Murzat River Valley to intercept the three squads of Yuluo, and then the advance base of Jiamu Town was raided again.
Not only were more than a dozen adjudicators killed and wounded, but all communication equipment was destroyed, along with Captain Moroz and the last bit of ammunition in reserve, all disappeared in one night.
The Redeemer's official explanation for this sudden change is that Moroz betrayed the gods, joined forces with the rebels, killed his comrades and stole weapons and ammunition and defected.
But the adjudicators of southern Xinjiang knew very well in their hearts that the captain who had led them through countless battles, large and small, would never rebel, and even if he was willing to betray the adjudicator, the rebels would not let go of this executioner with his hands stained with blood.
But Moroz was nowhere to be found, and according to the description of the guards at the base that night, he did order the weapons and ammunition to be loaded into trucks and transported to the front line in person. At the same time, the commander of the front line also confirmed that the order to stop the offensive was indeed given by the captain of the brigade, or in person.
In the face of such a confusing plot, not only the high-level Redeemer in Yining couldn't figure it out, but even the adjudicators who were fighting on the front line couldn't find a clue, and they didn't have time to think about it anymore.
On the fourth day of Moroz's disappearance with weapons and ammunition, the leaderless and panicked frontline adjudicators were attacked by the rebels.
No one can tell the details of this counteroffensive, because all five Adjudicator squads that suffered from the counteroffensive were annihilated, and none of them returned alive, including a squadron leader in charge of the offensive on the northern front.
If it weren't for the fact that the squadron leader of the southern front had been unable to get in touch with the northern front, and immediately sensed that the situation was not good and quickly retreated, the four squads he led would probably have to suffer the same dilemma.
However, he did not escape his fate in the end, and six days later, the seven squads that were still waiting for reinforcements and logistical supplies from Qiuzi City in Jiamu Town were attacked again in the middle of the night.
I don't know what method the enemy used, but unknowingly broke through the frontal defense, killed most of the sentinels, and began to kill while most of the adjudicators were asleep.
Fortunately, two squads did not camp in the town, and after receiving the distress signal, they charged desperately twice to no avail, and had to drive east for their lives, and after escaping back to Qiuzi City, only one all-terrain vehicle and three motorcycles remained, and only a few people were wounded.
The squadron leader stationed in Qiuzi City listened to the descriptions of these people, and immediately felt a chill in his back. The rebels who attacked this time were not only fierce and strange, but also armed with small artillery. Whether it was a bazooka or a mortar was not clear, but the accuracy was high, and the arbiter's machine-gun fire point was eliminated twice in succession.
And this attack on Baishui City, almost all the adjudicators in the southern Xinjiang were dispatched, and there were only four squads left in Qiuzi City, plus less than 70 communicators and wounded soldiers, could they withstand an attack of this intensity?
This squadron leader was also a ruthless man, and only briefly reported the development of the battle situation to the headquarters, and immediately organized manpower to transport the wounded soldiers to retreat to Licheng. He himself led two teams to the north and drilled into the south exit of the Duku Highway.
He knew that there would be no good fruit to eat if he ran back in such a daze, but he couldn't take advantage of the rebels in the wild or in the ruins of the city, so he planned to rely on the two bunkers here to wait for the rabbit and feel the enemy's situation.
If the enemy is not so strong, he can call for reinforcements at any time, as long as he holds on for two or three days, the Licheng side will send a large force to give the enemy a front and rear attack, and he can atone for his sins.
If the enemy is really strong, you can take advantage of the complex terrain and harsh climatic conditions of the Duku Highway to continue to retreat north, once you reach the height of the snow line, any gunfire and explosion may cause an avalanche. At that time, there will be no weaponry and tactical superiority, it will all depend on luck, and there will be more or less half of the hope of survival.
Fortunately, he immediately decided to run fast, and in less than a day the pursuers came to Qiuzi City, and found that the people did not continue to chase east after going to the city, but stared at the south entrance of the Duku Highway in the north.
In the end, the squadron leader did not survive, not to be crushed to death by an avalanche, but to be touched by a sentry in the middle of the night, and was extremely aggrieved by a grenade and crippled in the bunker.
As for how the enemy sneaked up, he finally understood. The toes armed from the teeth, the soldiers with night vision devices on their steel helmets, a thousand percent are not rebels.
The East Asian Alliance sent ground troops to sneak into southern Xinjiang! It was an instant conclusion he had come up with, but unfortunately he could never report it to headquarters, and he could only watch as a dagger slashed his neck.
In less than half a month, the redeemers tossed hard for more than half a year, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to recapture the strategic town of Qiuzi City declared that it was lost and reoccupied by the rebels.
But the matter did not end there, just when the high-level of the Redeemer was in a hurry to mobilize troops to increase troops to Nalati and Licheng, preparing to block the middle exit of the Duku Highway, and then launch a counterattack from Licheng to the west to recapture Qiuzi City, another bad news came from Loulan.
The rebel detachment raided the Southwest Alliance garrison, beating the gunmen who had been galloping across the desert Gobi for more than half a year, and were the best at small-scale interception of the rebels, killing and wounding more than half of them.
In less than two days, the remnants of the Southwestern Alliance had to quickly shrink back to the Altyn Mountains, relying on the pass terrain and fortresses for defense, and no longer dared to easily descend the mountains into Xinjiang Province.
When the telegram of the loss of Loulan and the hasty withdrawal of the Southwest Alliance was sent back to the Redeemer base, the small building was brightly lit all night, and a few gunshots were heard from time to time. The next day, Jiang Yang, the president of the ascetic society, and Anna, the vice president of the ascetic society, appeared at the East Asia Alliance residence and took the initiative to meet Zhou Yuan.
Obviously, the Redeemers were cornered, and they would rather give up half of the management of Hami City, but also hope that the East Asian Alliance would provide at least one regiment of weapons and equipment, and intend to launch a counterattack on all fronts against the rebels, and at least recapture the two strategic places of Loulan and Qiuzi.
If the East Asian coalition is willing to provide a sufficient number of planes and pilots to carry out several bombings of Shule, where the rebel headquarters is located, the Redeemer is willing to negotiate further on the issue of exploitation rights in the oil city.
This concession is not insignificant, and the issue of exploitation in the oil city has been discussed twice, but the desired answer has not been obtained. According to the East Asian Alliance, instead of such a half-dead slow mining, it is better for the East Asian Alliance to take over, and the monthly output can directly increase by more than two times.
Not only will it meet the East Asian Union's demand for crude oil, but it will also allow the redeemers to get more, and the two sides can also jointly build refineries for on-site fine processing. But the redeemer never agreed, and this time not only figured it out, but also offered a more attractive price.
This is equivalent to giving away half of the family, and from then on, the forces of the East Asian Alliance can enter the northern Xinjiang relatively unimpeded. As long as the airport in Wushi is slightly repaired and repaired, it will take less than a year and a half for the coalition air force to directly threaten the Yining base.
"Your Excellency, I have probably understood the situation, and I deeply sympathize with your situation. The East Asian Alliance has always advocated peaceful coexistence and solidarity among the survivors against disasters, and has always done so, so it will not send any military force into Xinjiang under such circumstances, which will only exacerbate the conflict and will not help. ”
"Personally, I believe that the best solution at the moment is not military confrontation but negotiations, and if you are willing to do so, the East Asian Alliance is willing to mediate and persuade the rebels to sit down at the negotiating table with the best efforts and sincerity, and everyone will have an open and honest talk."
In the face of this nominal supreme leader, Zhou Yuan did not show the slightest contempt, and after patiently listening to the other party's request, he thought for a long time before slowly saying his suggestion.
