Chapter 670 Lie Lie Dongfeng
Retreat is an orderly and organized retreat. If possible, it will even bite back and kill a powerful enemy with a profound impact. This is common in the history of world wars, and it may even turn defeat into victory and turn the situation around.
The most typical example is the "Kharkov" counterattack war carried out by the German army on the Soviet-German battlefield during World War II in 1943. The German army, shrouded in the shadow of Stalingrad's defeat, had to choose to temporarily avoid the edge and slowly retreat in the face of the Soviet army's summer offensive.
But retreating does not mean admitting defeat, especially in the German commander, a German military genius known as the "Earl of Blitz", Marshal Manstein's eyes, retreating is a good opportunity to put his fists together and accumulate strength to fight again. So when the German army continued to strengthen its strength, the fierce left hook finally suddenly rushed towards the Soviet jaw. After this battle, the Soviet Union suffered a great loss, and even the hard-won battlefield initiative was almost lost...
Although Lieutenant General Wu Li studied under China and learned military affairs, he yearned for the magnificence of the Soviet-German War. Because of this, Wu Li was naturally very clear about the classic "Kharkov" counterattack. Since he knew it, he wanted to imitate it. Some of this thoughts must be put into practice;
Lieutenant General Wu Li did not hesitate, because while enduring the pain of losing his son and his trump card was destroyed, he wanted to use a resolute and courageous counterattack to let the enemy on the other side understand that advanced equipment and fearless warriors could not resist his mainstay of Wu Li. As long as he was there, Manstein in the Vietnamese army would win incredible victory with one weird tactic after another.
So, after receiving the news that the passive electronic reconnaissance station of the "Lark" was destroyed and the only son died in the wilderness, although he was sad, he lost confidence. After all, he still held the powerful Soviet heavy rocket launcher in his hand and retained a considerable number of strategic reserves. As long as the measures are appropriate and these still-good combat forces are used, it is not impossible to achieve the glory that Manstein created under the Kharkov's reputation......
The reason why Lieutenant General Wu Li dared to act like this is because he really knows the Chinese army too much. You should know that China and Vietnam have the same origin in the military field. In previous operations, because of the same tactics and similar tactics, the two armies seemed to be looking at each other in mirrors. If it weren't for the different military uniforms and different languages, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an army;
Even though Lieutenant General Wu Li did not recognize this, he still intentionally or unintentionally used these strategies and tactics that had been engraved in his heart. Therefore, he was confident in judging the general direction, force composition and specific tactics of the Chinese army's offensive on the map. Based on the above, Lieutenant General Wu Li, who was familiar with the Chinese army's bones, did not seem panic or scared when facing the overwhelming offensive of the Chinese army. He even formulated a bold counterattack plan to lure the enemy into depth and wait for an opportunity to encircle and annihilate it.
However, the facts have proved that not everyone can replicate Manstein's treacherous tactics. At least Lieutenant General Wuli is not a qualified candidate. There are many reasons for this, but no matter what, the most important thing is that his opponent, the Chinese army was not the Soviet army that year;
What's more, with the continuous service of many new equipment over the past few years, it has brought unprecedented new military changes, and in specific combat operations, it is a profound change in tactical tactics and tactics. Because of the changes, it is different, because of the differences, and because of the differences, it has caused serious strategic mistakes in Lieutenant General Wu Li, who thought he was the quasi-Chinese army's pulse......
"Is this still the Chinese army? Why did they become like this!"
After withdrawing from the Vietnamese front command post, this question kept asking Lieutenant General Wu Li’s fragile heart, who had already been riddled with holes. Yes, the current Chinese army has made him unfamiliar, unbelievable, and even more frightening. It took only a few minutes for the "Hurricane" rocket launcher battalion to retreat from volleys to closure;
However, the response speed of China's counterattack firepower was several times faster than this time, so that before its shells landed, their positions were destroyed by the other side. There were also three mysterious and unpredictable shells that destroyed the "Lark", with wings and were accurately beaten, just like the magical acupoints in Chinese martial arts novels. This means that as long as the Chinese are willing to find their own fatal holes anytime and anywhere, and then poke them down without any scruples......
"When did they become like this? Just two months ago, the performance of the Chinese military was the same as in the past few decades, without any new ideas, but this time...."
Lieutenant General Wu Li sat in a Soviet-made Cass jeep with a melancholy expression and his messy hair kept fluttering with the car body. No matter from any angle, he did not have a trace of his previous exquisite and elegant style. He was like a down-and-out uncle who was owed debt, like a poor little wife who was driven out of the house by her husband, muttering to himself with endless sorrow and pain:
"No, this is not the Chinese army, they are not, I know them, they will never have such a tactic, and they will never..."
Although he had retreated dozens of kilometers south, Lieutenant General Wu Li still refused to forget the performance of the Chinese army within a few hours, because these hours were really like hell, destroying every nerve of Lieutenant General Wu Li torn apart:
The infantry of the Chinese army is not so much an assault attack, but rather an independent artillery observation post. As long as the front encounters obstacles, they immediately call the artillery in the rear and use the most violent and precise artillery fire to name the open and secret bunkers on Laoshan. The carefully constructed Laoshan bunker group did not play any role at all, and was wiped out by the Chinese army in such a piecemeal way;
As for artillery fire, it is not only fierce but also far, but also accurate. The depth of 40 kilometers south of the Vietnamese army could not avoid the violent bombardment of Chinese military artillery. Several artillery positions, communication centers, command agencies, and logistics supply stations were accurately shot into pieces, and the psychological defense lines of the Vietnamese officers and soldiers were completely collapsed. The originally orderly retreat gradually became chaotic and eventually turned into an avalanche-like collapse......
"Commander, you drink some water and have a rest!"
At some point, the Cassjeep had stopped. The chief of staff of the Vietnamese army, who was so smoked black, handed the kettle to Lieutenant General Wuli, looked at the faintly visible pass in the south and said with a little thanks:
"Hmph! There will be a good show for you then!" Looking at Wu Li who ignored him, Nong Demeng snorted coldly, his vicious gaze flashed in his eyes......
Ten minutes later, the Vietnamese army retreated south again, and at the same time, a secret telegram broke through layers of fog, crossed the border, and fell into Cao Xiaodong, the Second General Staff Bureau, who was responsible for frontline intelligence work. Then a secret word was transmitted to the "Guardian" rocket launcher battalion through encrypted radio:
"Fierce east wind!"
