Independent Column Headquarters.

Lu Meng rushed to Hedong in a hurry, and before he had time to rest, he met Lu Tao.

After a few days apart, Lu Tao no longer had the high spirits he had when he severely damaged the revolutionary army.

In five days, the independent column suffered more than 3,000 casualties, but not even a single Kuokongshan position was captured. The army headquarters made more than a dozen calls to inquire about the situation, but each time they got the same result. Lu Tao

Blushing endlessly.

It was a great shame and humiliation for the elite troops of the chaebol to be beaten like this by a group of refugees.

Lu Meng just glanced at the sadness in Lu Tao's eyes and knew that the war was not going smoothly. He sat opposite Lu Tao and asked: "How are the current casualties?"

Lu Tao has been smoking these days, enduring the pain in his throat and shaking his head: "Three regiments are gone, but the battle situation has not changed. In this battle, our losses exceeded my expectations. I know Hedong

The area is difficult to fight, but I never thought that the environment here would be so complicated."

Lu Meng consoled him: "The Hedong area is the most dangerous area in Lingnan. Among Ning Zhe's troops, there are not only surrendered troops from the Hedong bandits, but also officers who have experience fighting here. They are too familiar with the terrain here.

It’s fair for you not to fight hard.”

"I didn't take action not only for this reason, but also because a full-scale attack would cause us huge casualties. This is why I delayed until now, waiting for you to come over for reinforcements." Lu Tao picked up the teacup and asked: "Bring it here.

How many people were there?”

"Three regiments, and one regiment is on the way. It is expected to arrive within twelve hours." After answering Lu Tao's question, Lu Meng continued to ask: "What is the current casualty situation on the Starlight Armed Forces?"

"It's impossible to count. In order to deal with them, I used bacterial bombs and poison gas bombs. The current continuous battle is to reduce their numbers through the virus. During this period, we also sent armored troops to reconnoiter their positions, but these soldiers were all

Contact has been lost, and the revolutionary army also has exoskeletons. This kind of infiltration does not give us much advantage, so we gave up the investigation."

Lu Tao paused for a moment: "You came in time. Our vanguard has been almost exhausted. You can send a regiment to top it!"

"Zhang Duo, send the fourth regiment to fight on the front line." After Lu Meng gave the order to Zhang Duo on the side, he continued to ask Lu Tao: "Second brother, even if my troops are here, we can't stay in a stalemate here forever.

Let’s go down? Otherwise, we will be making meaningless consumption.”

"Of course not. I already have a detailed battle plan here. Let your troops go up first and then consume them for a day. Although I have not counted the enemy's casualties, the bacterial bombs we use can be used in ten minutes.

We have delayed harvesting a handful of enemy lives for two days, so the enemy's casualties must not be a small number."

Lu Tao stood up and pointed at the military map on the wall and said: "According to our intelligence, Dongshan Ridge also has natural dangers on the left and right sides that can be defended. But according to this consumption rate, their casualties should be even heavier than ours. Wait for your follow-up

After a regiment arrives, we will launch a general attack. Your three regiments will serve as the vanguard and rush into the enemy positions from the front and both sides of the battlefield. Our troops will also be divided into three parts and attack them. As long as there are

If one side can be torn open, they can be cut."

Lu Meng sighed and said: "Bacteriological bombs and poison gas bombs are weapons explicitly prohibited by the Federal Congress. It is disgraceful to use this kind of equipment against them."

Lu Tao whispered: "It is precisely because the opponent is them that I will use this weapon, and this matter was also approved by the Army Headquarters, or in other words, this was their proposal from the beginning."

"How is this possible?" Lu Meng's eyes flashed with surprise: "Are those people in the military department all pig-headed? Why did they make such a ridiculous decision?"

"Do you think this kind of weapon is just for dealing with refugees? They are just a group of white mice!" Lu Tao shook his head slightly and said: "Now the Xiahou family has decided to integrate the Northern Wilderness and become the governor with actual control, and we Lu Tao

The Xiahou family has always been a staunch supporter of the Xiahou family, and naturally they will stand unswervingly on the side of the Xiahou family this time.

Once the battle of the four clans breaks out again, it will not just be as simple as the Qiongling battlefield. Now that the Xiahou clan is the governor, they have the power to launch larger-scale wars and invade the territories of other chaebols. Once this precedent is set, we

Lu's family also faces the risk of being invaded.

Therefore, our annihilation of the rebel armed forces this time is actually a plan that kills two birds with one stone. In addition to achieving actual control over the Lingnan area, we also need to show off our force to the outside world to let them know what kind of things we have in our hands. In the Xiahou Clan

With the support of the Congress, Congress will not have any trouble with us because of a group of refugees."

"I asked why Lu Feibai entered the battle desperately. It turns out that there is something like this going on." Lu Meng exhaled: "I just pity the people in the Starlight Arms. I'm afraid they won't know until they die that they are just

A chicken that kills a chicken to scare a monkey is a bunch of pitiful white mice."

"There is nothing to regret. For refugees to dare to challenge the plutocratic system is a heinous crime. Moreover, official career is not an easy path, because you will find that the higher you go in this circle, the things you see will change.

The dirtier it gets.”

Lu Tao said expressionlessly, then stood up and said: "Your arrival is a good thing. I can finally have a solid sleep. Go to bed early. Get up at five o'clock tomorrow to formulate a battle plan and launch at seven o'clock."

General offensive, if nothing goes wrong, Hedong will belong to us tomorrow."

Lu Meng immediately stood up: "Second brother, don't forget what you promised me."

…

As expected, Lu Tao's plan went awry.

The independent column suffered an unprecedented rout.

Because they miscalculated the number of people in the Starlight Armed Forces, their attack was extremely difficult.

The Starlight Armed Forces relied on the two natural dangers of Wanrenyan and Wave Ridge to launch a tenacious counterattack. Due to the advantage of the terrain, the various advanced weapons of the independent column did not achieve the expected results.

The general offensive began at seven o'clock. In order to prevent the independent column from using poison gas bombs again, Hu Yihan ordered the enemy troops to be placed one kilometer away before launching a violent counterattack.

By eleven o'clock at noon, the independent column's troops had been reduced by more than half.

The army was defeated like a mountain.
