The battle in the Lao Mo area has begun in full swing. In Hualei Town, Zhao Weihu received instructions from Su Tianyu and decided to abandon the position here.
However, the People's Min Army did not withdraw directly at once, but gradually and rhythmically deployed its troops to the inner line, retreating while blocking.
This method of retreat brought a certain resistance to the rebels in Bahiacho. In addition, the Lao Mo area was mountainous. After their armored forces entered the barrier of Hualei Town, the complicated mountain roads were endless, resulting in
The marching speed was greatly affected.
Therefore, under the influence of multiple factors, the rebels were unable to advance quickly and launch a powerful pursuit of the People's Min Army.
During this process, the Lao Mexican army that had previously supported Hualei Town, plus the Western Recruitment Regiment, a huge force of more than 200,000 people, quickly launched a return defense and began to advance towards Guarda City, preparing to unite with Guarda
The city's defenders, plus Dragon City's airborne troops, encircled the Western Alliance Army led by Mord'Amon.
Since the troops of Lao Mo's army were closer to the inner line, they arrived at the battlefield first and prepared for the first confrontation with the enemy.
…
On the way back, Wang Dingyuan was sitting in a military vehicle, holding a satellite phone and talking to the commander of the Third Army of the Western Expeditionary Corps: "Old Zhao! Have your front lines merged with the other party?"
Lao Zhao's voice sounded more mature. He replied on the phone: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we have gathered here. Lao Mo's troops are rapidly gathering. At present, there are 70,000 to 80,000 people, ready to coordinate with air and tanks to attack
Push forward!”
When Wang Dingyuan heard this, he immediately got angry and asked: "Fuck, who gave this order?"
Lao Zhao replied: "It's General Santos and General Zocha, the commander-in-chief of Lao Mo's army."
Wang Dingyuan was so speechless that he couldn't help but uttered a curse word: "I stepped on the horse next door. How can a battle be fought like this? Lao Zhao, wait over there, I'll fly over."
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dingyuan was forced to abandon the land trip in order to reach the forward command base as soon as possible, and instead took a relatively dangerous helicopter to go straight to his destination.
Along the way, Wang Dingyuan noticed that a large number of troops were gathering in an orderly manner nearby, which made him frown.
…
Outside Guarda City.
An hour later, the helicopter slowly landed at the forward military base of the Lao Mo army.
Wang Dingyuan took several guards and quickly stepped out of the plane, and together with some generals of the Western Expedition Corps who had just arrived, rushed to the headquarters camp.
The commander-in-chief, General Zuocha, was discussing details with a large group of military officers and was holding a combat meeting in an orderly manner. When he saw Wang Dingyuan coming in, he took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, my name is Zuocha, and I am the commander-in-chief of the forward base. We
I met him before at a meeting."
"Yes, I remember you, and I'm very impressed." Wang Dingyuan shook hands with him and greeted him politely.
This General Zocha was also a veteran who had followed the boss before. He was from an academy. He had dark skin and was probably in his sixties. His hair was already white.
After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone came to the conference table and sat down one after another. Wang Dingyuan looked at each other and asked straight to the point: "I heard that the frontline troops have been assembled. What is your current thinking?"
"That's it." General Zuocha didn't waste any more nonsense. He pointed directly at the sand table in front of him and explained his tactics in detail: "We are going to advance from four directions in a coordinated way with infantry and tanks. The armored troops are pressing on the back.
We will take the rear position and try to attack their defense line an hour later. After our first test, your Western Expedition Corps should also arrive. At that time, we will launch a general attack together!"
Hearing this, Wang Dingyuan waved his hands directly and said very decisively: "If we fight like this, we will collapse."
Hearing this, the officers present were a little shocked and couldn't help exchanging glances.
General Zuocha frowned and couldn't help but ask: "If you don't follow my plan, how should we fight?"
Wang Dingyuan immediately said: "We should now give orders to all troops above the battalion level and let them fight independently and attack the enemy on their own! Instead of commanding this unprecedentedly huge battle from the perspective of a corps."
Everyone on the side of Lao Mo's army looked confused. General Zuocha asked directly with deep suspicion in his tone: "I have never heard of such tactics! Don't we have any strategy?"
?If there is no command system, do the battalion commanders below have the ability to think strategically? Do they know where to fight?"
Wang Dingyuan explained loudly: "The purpose is to make them don't know where to fight, so that the opponent has no way to defend! The grassroots commanders do not have strategic thinking, but they must have tactical thinking! The enemy is right there, as long as the troops below are
The moment you see the enemy, just launch an attack."
General Zuocha shook his head when he heard this: "Sorry, I can't understand this tactic at all! I stick to my opinion!"
Wang Dingyuan was also anxious, pointing at General Zuocha and said: "Let me ask you, how long can the Renmin Army resist in Hualei Town? Is it one day? Is it ten hours? Or is it five hours? You should understand that in reality,
The time may even be shorter than this! Once the defense line over there collapses, the rebels will march straight in! The inland march line is flat, and the advancing speed of the armored forces is unimaginable! And our troops are still dividing into batches
Let’s assemble! By the time you have finished assembling, the opponent’s 100,000 people will have stabilized their defense line! When the time comes, I’ll let you fight for three days. Can you beat them down?! That’s 100,000 people! Just stand there and let you catch them.
We can’t catch them all!”
General Zuocha stood there, frowning and saying nothing.
Wang Dingyuan said very straightforwardly: "Let me tell you, once we can't defeat each other, the rebels will enter our hinterland. At that time, they and Mod Amon's troops will attack from front to back, and we will completely collapse! General Zuocha,
Let me put it bluntly, you are fighting so methodically, but there is no time for you to do this now!! We must make the battlefield chaotic and let every unit above the battalion level fight independently without the need for command! They only need one
The goal is to attack the enemy! Not only your troops, but also my troops will do the same!"
Looking at the silent crowd, Wang Dingyuan did not slow down, but continued to speak loudly: "We have no time! I predict that based on the current situation, Mod Amon will never return to support the Xinlai area!
If he returns reinforcements, it will be a fool-like command! Therefore, the decisive point of the civil war is Guarda! The attack must be effective!"
When General Zuocha heard this, he looked at Wang Dingyuan in shock and couldn't help but said: "You want to eat 100,000 people in two days? Isn't this incredible?"
Wang Dingyuan said very bluntly: "It's not about eating, it's about breaking up! If your troops don't know how to fight, let them attack first. My troops will come up in a while, and you will see how they fight!"
After a pause, looking at General Zocha who was still full of doubts on his face, Wang Dingyuan said categorically: "There is no dispute about this matter! I will make suggestions to your Chief Santos! Now is an extraordinary period, we must follow this
Arrange it in a tactical way!”
…
At the same time, Mordeamon led all the core generals and many warlords back to the temporary station on the front line.
When they learned that the Xinlai area had been raided, they were also in a panic. Forty or fifty officers gathered in the camp, shouting.
"All the opponent's main forces have returned to support Guarda City. We can't stay any longer!" Palu looked at everyone and suggested loudly: "We must return to defend the Xinlai area!"
