At around three o'clock in the morning, the first wave of attacks on Tianshen Mountain ended.
A garrison of 20,000 troops was dispatched from Desola, the capital of the Red Hat Army, and the battle losses exceeded 6,000. The mechanized troops also suffered heavy losses. In particular, important combat equipment such as armored vehicles lost one-third.
After leaving behind a large number of corpses and armored troops, the garrison finally withdrew from the Tianshen Mountain battlefield in embarrassment.
Fei Pingsheng and Xing Yao's troops relied on the geographical advantage on the mountain and the defense fortifications, and the effectiveness of pre-battle tactics. After causing large-scale damage to the enemy, their own losses were less than 2,000.
The battle loss ratio is almost one to three.
The wounded soldiers were immediately sent to the temporary field hospital built in the rear for treatment.
In this battle, the anxiety of the Red Hat Army can be clearly seen. Especially when Bahiacho issued a death order, the garrison's attack rhythm was obviously too hasty and even underestimated the enemy.
In the view of the garrison headquarters, the troops on Tianshen Mountain, which numbered no more than 10,000, could defeat a wave of troops as long as they relied on large-scale armored forces to crush the peripheral defense positions at the foot of the mountain, coupled with the fire suppression of the helicopter group.
Rush up the mountain and resolve the battle.
However, the strength of the opponent's defense and the willpower of the soldiers far exceeded their imagination. In this attack, not only did they fail to successfully capture the Tianshen Mountain, but they were severely bitten.
After retreating, the commander of the garrison did not rush forward again. Instead, he decided to stay in place, renovate his troops, and wait for the return troops from the Lao Mo area. When the time comes, they will join forces and with absolute strength advantage,
Rush again!
…
At the same time, on Tianshen Mountain.
Xing Yao was sitting in a trench, holding a rag and wiping the blood on his hands and face. At the same time, he stuffed a piece of beef jerky into his mouth and chewed it to replenish his strength.
The surrounding soldiers were also resting on the spot, taking this time to restore their physical fitness.
Xing Yao looked around, his eyes fell on Lao Qian, and asked him in a low voice: "Do you have any wine? Give me a sip?"
Lao Qian glanced at him sideways: "Let me pee some for you. There may be some alcohol in my urine."
Xing Yao said with disgust: "You are so disgusting!"
Lao Qian smiled and took out a cigarette and handed him one: "Okay, stop drinking and smoke a cigarette. It's good for your health."
As they spoke, the two lit cigarettes and looked at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield and the corpses that were being carried away.
Lao Qian took a deep breath from his cigarette and said slowly: "The other party has stopped moving, so he probably stopped rushing."
"It's just an appetizer now..." Xing Yao looked at the scene down the mountain and the enemy troops in the distance, and said softly: "They must be waiting for Lao Mo's troops to return for reinforcements... By then, we brothers may have to face
Threat of 40,000 to 50,000 people. The real decisive battle will be in more than ten hours!"
Hearing this, Lao Qian couldn't help but calm down, took another puff of cigarette, and said slowly through the lingering clouds: "I regret coming with you."
Xing Yao looked at him and said half-jokingly: "Okay, you go now and I will open a path for you behind. If the Chief of General Staff finds out, let him shoot me."
Lao Qian grinned: "Young man, I have spent more time with you over the years than I have with my wife and children! If I leave, you will be alone, without smoking or drinking.
, what should I do if I die? Can I not worry?"
Xing Yao grinned: "Actually, I have a... secret that I haven't told. I have always regarded you as my wife."
"Get out!" Lao Qian raised his leg and gave him a kick: "Stop talking about it, it's useless. Get some rest now!"
The two chatted and laughed, lying on the soft ground, closing their eyes and starting to rest.
After a long time, Lao Qian suddenly asked: "Do you think this war will be won?"
Xing Yao asked: "Which scene are you talking about?"
Lao Qian said nothing, and there was only the sound of wind whistling around him.
Xing Yao closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "We may die here...but on the overall battlefield, we will definitely win!!"
When the two of them said this, they both fell silent and stopped talking.
…
District 1, Washington.
Lao Wang, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Corps, took a military vehicle and arrived at the Military and Political Commission Building.
When he walked into the conference room, the entire senior generals of the first district, as well as military and political officials, had gathered here and were discussing the war situation in the Lao Mo area.
Most of the people present were white, black officers, and a few sporadic Chinese generals.
After Commander Wang walked in, he greeted the generals and officials present, and then sat next to the military and political chief of the first district.
Soon, the meeting officially began, and everyone continued to discuss the Lao Mo area.
Most people believe that the war situation in the Lao Mo area has changed, and the real hotspot of the war is Tianshen Mountain. Once Tianshen Mountain is cut off and the Min army's support arrives, the consequences will be disastrous.
The real difficulty lies in Bahiacho. By then, his Red Hat Army will not only face the problem of failure, but most importantly, it will also face the danger of the regime being subverted. This is absolutely unacceptable to District 1.
The generals present were all battle-hardened, and their ability in military strategy was undoubted. Most of them had already sensed the danger, so they quickly reached an agreement at the meeting and agreed that more troops must be added to Lao Mo's army.
area!
Otherwise, once Tianshen Mountain is occupied, the war situation in the Lao Mo area will be completely reversed, and it will definitely affect the situation in Dragon City.
Without the threat of Bahiacho, the coalition forces in the Lao Mo area will support the People's Min Army without any scruples and counterattack Longcheng.
After intense discussions, the military and political chief of District 1 finally issued an order to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs and the Chinese Corps to increase the number of troops in the Lao Mo area on a large scale!
…
At 8:45 a.m. the next day, in the Lao Mo area, in a mountainous area.
Tan Hengqiang was sitting in the command post after the transfer, sitting on a chair, eating breakfast and watching the news from the official media of District 1 on the portable TV.
On the screen, a blonde female host said seriously to the camera: "...Considering that the Bahiacho government is suffering from military aggression and his strategic cooperative relationship with District 1. This morning, the Ministry of Military Affairs officially announced
Statement, it is not ruled out that a large-scale military force will be sent to the interior of the first region, and the Desola region and the Bahiacho government will be reinforced!"
Next to him, a newly promoted chief of staff couldn't help but said: "The battle at Tianshen Mountain is expected to change the situation on the Lao Mo battlefield. District 1 is getting anxious. It seems that a large-scale increase in troops is really going to happen."
Tan Hengqiang thought for a while and said calmly: "The regional district intervenes. This level of game is not something we can participate in... Let's see the reaction of the Chinese district."
