Chapter 119: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Two days later, in the middle of the night on June 18, 2019, the train arrived in Fire Lion City.
There are twelve days left in the mission.
The two thousand members of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Regiment rested for two hours, made the last supplies, and quietly marched in the direction of Ancient Wind City at night.
Approaching the front line, motor vehicles are not available at all, only two legs can be used.
Yi Ting divided the team into two brigades.
The first brigade is a well-selected combat personnel, all of whom are intermediate martial artists and above, who will serve as the striker and the implementer of the task, with a total number of only two hundred people, led by Yi Ting himself.
The remaining 1,800 people served as the second brigade, including personnel of various special arms, led by Chu Xiong'an, whose main role was to cover and respond.
Out of the Fire Lion City, the two brigades divided into two routes.
The second brigade led by Chu Xiong'an will follow the official route to Gufeng City, passing through eleven cities on the way, covering a distance of 1,386 kilometers, and the speed must be guaranteed to be at least 130 kilometers per day.
The speed is not fast, but this is in an enemy-occupied area, and it is impossible to take the highway and avenue, and second, it is still difficult to ensure the concealment of the whereabouts.
After Chu Xiong'an formed the team, he sent a reconnaissance team to go first, looking at the dark night, muttering in his heart, the regiment leader didn't want to cross the wind ridge and take a shortcut.
Three days later, at dusk, Yi Ting led the first brigade of 200 people to the foot of Blowing Wind Mountain.
Mission remaining, nine days.
"Commander, you don't want to climb over this windstorm, do you?" Wu Xiangqian couldn't believe Yi Ting's plan, and said the doubts in the hearts of the two hundred people.
"It's been three days since you found out." Yi Ting responded indifferently with a look of rotten wood that could not be carved. "Arrange for camping forward, Uyong, you immediately collect the climbing rope ladders that all of us are carrying, and come with me."
Wu Yong, a young guard who was the same age as Yi Ting, responded to the call, and after collecting the climbing ladder, he and Yi Ting each carried a large bag of ladders and walked around the foot of the mountain.
The altitude of Fufeng Ridge is not high, only more than 1,200 meters, but the terrain is unique, strictly speaking, it is a rolling mountain.
If you go around on foot, it will take a month, but if you cross it directly, it will be less than 50 kilometers. I just want to climb over it, but there are cliffs everywhere, I can't climb it, and there are even more strong winds, and many trees on the peaks can't survive.
There are adventure enthusiasts who climb the rock, and there are not 800 but 1,000 who fall off the cliff by the wind, and the wind ridge is also named after it.
Yi Ting took Wu Yong to find a climbing place that had been opened up by previous adventurers, and with the help of some remaining stone steps and large iron nails, he began to climb the mountain.
Wuyong, who was born in Orion, has good climbing ability, and his long hands and feet are like an ape, and he is extremely flexible. Yi Ting was very satisfied with this.
Forty minutes later, after crossing several peaks, a cliff appeared in front of me, and there was no way to climb again.
Yi Ting looked at the universal watch in his hand, showing that the wind speed had reached eighteen kilometers per hour, and the altitude was already six hundred and twenty meters, and he nodded secretly in his heart.
"Wuyong, you return to the station now, lead them here early tomorrow morning, go up the ladder, and remember to recover the ladder before you climb a section."
Wu Yong didn't ask Yi Ting how to climb the cliff and set up a ladder against the strong wind, and returned as ordered.
Yi Ting lit a cigarette and smoked it first, and then put the two large bags of rope ladder on his back, took out the dagger and began to work.
Three days later, at dusk, Yi Ting and his entourage crossed the blowing wind ridge and came to the hot pot city.
The Terran Era of the Kamihara Continent June 24, 2019, the remaining time of the mission, six days.
In a makeshift camp on the outskirts, Yi Ting was looking at the map and pondering.
"Report to the head of the group, no troops of the West Wolf Clan have been found in Hot Pot City, and there are a small number of original residents left." The reconnaissance team reports.
"Well, it's better to be careful and get in and find some food supplies." Yi Ting looked at the map and didn't look back.
"Yes."
After a while, someone came in again to report.
"Report to the head of the group, the current location of the second brigade is in Yanfeng City, which is about three hundred kilometers away from our location."
"Yanfeng City? Over here. Yi Ting looked at the map and muttered to himself. It seems that we are about three days ahead of them, and we only need to cross the three more lockdowns, and then we will be in Ancient Wind City. ”
Yi Ting touched his chin and turned around, and smiled silently: "Chu Xiong'an seems to be rough, but he did a good job this time." The order passed, let them start tomorrow, as long as there are West Wolf Clan troops in the cities they pass through, they will be destroyed if they can be annihilated, and if they can't be annihilated, they will continue to run in the direction of Ancient Wind City after a sneak attack, and the bigger the movement, the better. ”
Yi Ting's purpose was to use the intrusion of the second brigade to attract the attention of the three divisions of the Western Wolf Clan stationed around Gufeng City, and disrupt the situation in the nearby area, so as to create an opportunity to complete the mission. It is best to have the West Wolf Clan mobilize a division to carry out the extermination operation.
Is this a matter of turning the tiger away from the mountain or striking the west? Yi Ting wasn't so sure.
"Two hours later, we set off overnight to rush to Sanfeng City." Yi Ting issued the order again.
The next morning, Yi Ting and his party appeared outside the city of Sanfeng, and the highway was damaged and damaged motor vehicle garbage.
The reconnaissance reported that there was a team of the West Wolf Clan stationed in the city, the number of which was estimated to be five or six hundred, and there were still tens of thousands of ethnic residents, a small number of strong men were requisitioned as coolies, and the rest were mostly old and young.
Controlling the urge to enter the city, Yi Ting ordered to continue in the direction of the Ancient Wind City, which was eighty kilometers away.
The Terran Era of the Kamihara Continent June 25, 2019, the remaining time of the mission, five days.
"Report," the signal soldier came to Yi Ting, "fifteen kilometers in front of the right is the station of the X78 Division of the West Wolf Clan, the station is about five kilometers away from Gufeng City, about ten kilometers away from the station of the X79 Division in the left front, and there is also a division X80 that is all stationed in the city. ”
Yi Ting asked, "Can you get around?" ”
"Yes, it's expected to take more than half a day."
Yi Ting pondered for a moment and said, "Choose to detour, let's avoid the two divisions X78 and X79 first, and go around behind them." At the same time, he contacted Chu Xiongan to speed up and rush over here. ”
"Commander, due to the interference blocker, communication equipment is no longer available in the vicinity." Scouts name the difficulties faced.
Yi Ting slapped his forehead and forgot about this stubble. You should find Huohong to get a few communication big snow eagles, but if you want to really find Huohong, not to mention whether Huohong has so many birds, I can't catch up with the time.
The signal was jammed, and no matter how hot Chu Xiong'an's side was, there was no way to learn about it in time, whether it was darkness Chen Cang or transferring the tiger from the mountain, it was particularly ineffective.
Yi Ting suddenly remembered something: "Then Chu Xiong'an and they are invading the troops along the way, can the West Wolf Clan troops here receive the news in time?" ”
Wu Xiangqian didn't wait for the scout to answer, but first reacted and rushed to say with some annoyance: "It shouldn't be, it's a bit troublesome!" ”
Yi Ting touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
"Since we can't use communication equipment, then the West Wolf Clan shouldn't be able to use it either, at least not more than a kilometer. This is not necessarily a benefit for us with few people and high flexibility. ”
Wu Xiangqian: "Commander, do you want to divide the troops?" ”
Yi Ting: "Yes." ”
Wu Xiangqian: "Then how to divide the troops?" ”
Yi Ting: "You lead the team, I'll go into the city." ”
Wu Xiangqian: "How many people do you bring with you, the head of the regiment?" ”
Yi Ting: "I'm alone. ”
Wu Xiangqian: "Huh? ……”
This is also considered to be a division of troops?
