Chapter 141: Turning Point
The staff officer rushed to the war room with a document, and before he could open his mouth to make a report, he suddenly heard Guo Huai'an's last shout, which frightened a spirit, and his foot tripped over the threshold and almost fell into a.
Stabilizing his figure, the staff officer was very embarrassed, and the unusual atmosphere in the room made him feel like he was on pins and needles, and hurriedly presented the document with both hands:
"Report to the division commander, our army has recaptured the town of Umeng, this is the latest intelligence!"
Hearing this, Guo Huai'an and Guo Zhiyuan both stared.
In Guo Huai'an's plan, the Thunder Brigade needed to defeat the enemy in Wumeng as quickly as possible, so that the army could establish a position in the hills outside the formation.
According to the latest battlefield intelligence, there is a reinforced regiment stationed in Wumeng Town, and the positions built by the other side on the outskirts of the town are very strong and the artillery is sufficient, which can be described as impregnable.
Although the strength of the Thunder Brigade is good, it is very difficult to attack the fortification head-on with half of the troops. Even high-ranking soldiers cannot withstand the dense Force artillery strikes and advance in the open area.
And if you can't break the enemy quickly, when the other party's reinforcements arrive, whether you can take it is two words.
The only way to fight is to take it by surprise and attack suddenly.
But these eight words are easy to say, but it is not so simple to do, Wumeng Town is a military node, and the defenders must have many light and dark posts on the periphery, and the intelligence shows that there is quite strong anti-aircraft firepower inside.
As a special operations brigade, Thunder is best at decapitation operations, under normal circumstances, as long as the armed transport plane arrives over the town and allows the brigade to descend to the regimental headquarters, there is a possibility of killing the enemy with one blow.
However, the town of Umeng was equipped with anti-aircraft fire, and this tactic could not be realized.
All in all, the Thunder Brigade is not unsure of taking Wumeng Town, but with half of its strength to attack the fortifications, the best case is to pay a lot of casualties, and it takes a lot of trouble, and the worst case is to fight with the opponent's reinforcements.
"Great, someone can actually take Wumeng Town, the situation on the right flank will immediately clear the clouds, and now the brigade does not need to divide the troops!" Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed and clenched his fists excitedly.
"Who can take Umeng Town at such a time?"
Guo Huai'an raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that a fateful four- or five-star sect has ventured out?" Is there such a great sect in Jizhou City that understands righteousness?
"Why didn't the Sword of Dawn stop them? It's not ...... reasonable."
Thinking of this, Guo Huai'an couldn't wait to see the battle report, but he didn't rush to the staff officer eagerly, but said unhurriedly: "Bring the battle report." ”
"Division commander, it's not a war report, it's intelligence, and the battle report hasn't been submitted yet."
The staff officer was waiting to explain, and Guo Zhiyuan, who couldn't suppress his excitement, had already rushed in front of him, snatched the document, and turned his head to Guo Huai'an, who was silent in front of Taishan.
Guo Huai'an quickly browsed the documents, Rao was in his state of mind, and after reading it, he couldn't help but let out a long "um", and the surprise was overflowing:
"Anxia Sect? Samsung Sect?! ”
"What? Three-star sect? It was a three-star sect that recovered Wumeng Town? How is this possible! Which three-star sect can defeat a reinforced regiment, or a reinforced regiment stationed in a fortress? ”
Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly poked his head out and leaned over, "It's difficult for ordinary four-star sects to do it!" ”
The highest combat power of ordinary four-star sects is level seven or eight, and only powerful four-star sects will have ninth-level powerhouses, don't look at a strengthening group where there is no eighth-level town, but people are hiding in the fortress.
You have to brave the ferocious artillery, break through the powerful firepower network of the outer defensive positions, and fight into the fortress in front of more than 1,000 people before you can meet people.
How many transcendent people can a four-star sect dispatch?
Dozens of people defeated nearly a thousand warriors with a strong firepower fortress?
Think about it to know how hard it is.
The information is very simple, it does not explain the process of the war, only that Anxiazong attacked Wumeng Town today and successfully recovered it, so Guo Zhiyuan's doubts were not answered for a while.
"What's that, that's it? What about the war report? Wumeng Town has been defeated, why hasn't the battle report been submitted yet? ”
Guo Zhiyuan was very dissatisfied and anxious to know the specific experience.
The staff officer hesitated: "This ...... The subordinates don't know either. ”
Guo Zhiyuan wanted to say something, but Guo Huai'an had already raised his hand to signal him to shut up: "The military camp closest to Wumeng Town belongs to the Third Brigade, immediately contact the brigade headquarters and ask them what is going on!" ”
was interrupted by Guo Huai'an, Guo Zhiyuan calmed down and immediately realized the problem.
As an officer of the capital division, of course he knew the virtue of the capital division, and the battle report had not been handed in for a long time, it must be that the people below were asking for military merits from An Xiazong and wanted to share the credit of the other party.
As he spoke, Guo Huai'an motioned for the staff officer to retreat, turned his head to Guo Zhiyuan and said: "Gather the brigade, you personally lead, immediately go to attack the left flank Qitu Mountain, and be sure to take it down before dawn!" ”
Guo Zhiyuan suddenly perked up.
The problem of the right flank has been solved, although I don't know how it was solved, but it is finally solved, and the Thunder Brigade does not need to pour out of the nest, nor does it have to divide the troops, and can concentrate elite forces to attack the left flank.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Guo Zhiyuan raised his head with his chest straight, and the military salute was particularly crisp and powerful.
"Division commander, the third brigade has been contacted!" An officer next to him got up to report.
Guo Huaian came to the screen, and on the other end of the video was the commander of the Third Brigade who was full of surprise, awe, and panic after seeing him.
"Brigadier Xiao, your people are very good, you recaptured Wumeng Town quietly, should I congratulate you?" Guo Huai'an's eyes were like electricity.
"Recaptured the town of Umeng? The defense area of the 9th Regiment? I haven't heard of it......"
Brigade Commander Xiao was stunned by this unexpected news, and then realized the deep meaning of Guo Huai'an's words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat with fright, and hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "Senior Commander Guo, I will contact the Ninth Regiment!" ”
"You take care of the people below you slowly, now listen to my orders, your troops will immediately start and go to the hilly area outside Wumeng Town to establish a position!"
By the time he said this, the officer next to him had already transmitted the documents of his reinstatement to the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade.
Guo Huai'an looked at his watch, "Brigadier Xiao, you have three hours."
"Three hours later, if I don't see you build a position outside of Umeng Town, or if the demon reinforcements succeed in counterattacking Umeng Town during this time, you know the consequences."
Brigade Commander Xiao trembled, Guo Huai'an gave very little time, he had to dispatch immediately, if he wanted the demon reinforcements not to recapture Wumeng Town, he had to send elite troops to take the first step.
Brigade Commander Xiao knew Guo Huai'an's personality and reputation, so he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly promised: "Commander Guo, rest assured, our department will definitely complete the task!" ”
Hanging up the communication, Guo Huaian turned his head and ordered: "Go and call Chief of Staff Zhang over." ”
"Yes!"
When he arrived at the division headquarters overnight, the divisional officers had already left work, and for confidentiality reasons, he had not informed anyone before that, and there were only a few officers on duty in the war room.
"Division Commander Guo, ouch Division Commander Guo, you are back, if you don't come back, we will ......" The pot-bellied, oily chief of staff had not yet arrived, and his voice had already drifted into the war room.
"Chief of Staff Zhang, don't talk much, Wumeng Town has been recaptured by Anxiazong, and the Third Brigade is heading there, so you should rush over and take command immediately."
As soon as the chief of staff stepped into the threshold, Guo Huaian unceremoniously interrupted him and issued an order resolutely, "There are two primary tasks for your trip.
"First, to prevent the demon reinforcements from counterattacking; Second, meet with the sect leader of the Anxia Sect and investigate their military exploits. ”
The chief of staff was interrupted by Guo Huai'an, and his breath was already stagnant, and suddenly he heard that Wumeng Town had been lost and recovered, and the Third Brigade had been dispatched, and his eyes immediately widened like bull's eyes.
He went back to work for a meal, why did the situation change so dramatically?
Wait, if you want me to go to Wumeng Town, that place is the frontier of the frontier, and the danger factor is so great, and my safety is not guaranteed at all...... Cold sweat also broke out on the forehead of the chief of staff.
"Chief of Staff Zhang, do you understand what I mean?" Guo Huai'an stared at him and asked in a deep voice.
The chief of staff shuddered and hurriedly said: "Understand, if the demon reinforcements counterattack, I will definitely take the lead and swear to defend Wumeng Town!" ”
Guo Huai'an was noncommittal: "What else?" ”
The chief of staff wiped the sweat from his forehead: "There are still ...... It should be Anxiazong's military merits, and it must be investigated clearly, and a lot of them should be given to them, and no one else will be allowed to get involved! ”
Guo Huai'an bowed his head with satisfaction: "It is the responsibility of the capital to eliminate the demons and bandits in the province and ensure local tranquility.
"As a social sect, Anxia Sect stepped forward in times of crisis, willing to risk the danger to go deep into the enemy's territory, and did not hesitate to recapture important places in bloody battles.
"Go ahead, I'll wait to see the battle report you hand in."
The Chief of Staff saluted and received the order.
As a deputy division-level military commander, he didn't need to salute seriously, but in the face of Guo Huai'an, who was imposing and majestic, he couldn't help but feel awe.
Usually he hated this stubborn guy who knew the whole army to fight, and now he was afraid of the other party, and hoped from the bottom of his heart that the other party could turn the tide, lest they be held accountable after the war.
"Notify the artillery regiment directly under the capital division, the whole regiment will immediately enter the combat state, and the artillery Zhuyuan will be adjusted to the west and north of Wumeng Town, and will be ready to provide long-range artillery support at any time!"
"Yes!"
After giving this order, Guo Huai'an returned his gaze to the location of Wumeng Town on the three-dimensional holographic map and fell back into deep thought.
When will demon reinforcements come?
Is the Sword of Dawn dispatched?
Can Umeng hold it, and can the right flank defense line be successfully rebuilt?
After a long time, a complicated meaning appeared in his eyes, and he silently muttered two words: "Anxia Sect...... Suan ......"
