After the door-kicking operation under the command of the Imperial Officer Corps was successfully completed, Yin Mulan officially began the salient offensive.
The Yin Mulan troops located on both sides of the protrusion began to advance forward with the help of air support.
Just like the dynamic picture shown to the pilots by the superiors before, Yin Mulan's leading troops were like two arrows, breaking through the defense of Custer's army on the flanks of the protrusion and going straight into the rear of the protrusion.
Obviously, when these two arrows meet, it means that a large number of Custer's troops located on the protrusion will fall into a situation of being surrounded - the key is that this is not yet being surrounded on their own land, they still need to face
Guerrilla force against Yin Mulan.
When Yin Mulan's army retreated, they distributed light weapons to resistance organizations operating behind enemy lines.
And these enemy forces organized various attacks on Custer's unarmed convoys. After the attack, they hid their weapons and pretended to be ordinary Yimlan civilians, allowing the Custer people to consider the security war while fighting on the front line.
question.
In short, once these Custer troops are surrounded, the results will be disastrous.
The options they will face are nothing more than to surrender or become an organization and be annihilated.
The Custer people have considered blooming in the center and taking advantage of the encirclement process of Yin Mulan's army to counterattack. However, this requires absolutely superior strength and combat effectiveness of soldiers. Currently, in order for Yin Mulan to successfully attack the salient,
carried out and invested a large amount of military power, so it was impossible for Custer to form a superior force in this area.
When Yin Mulan started to move, Custer actually saw the intention of Yin Mulan.
After all, with such a large protrusion embedded in the front line between the two countries, no one can sit idly by.
The Custer people thought that the protrusion was a springboard for attack, so they originally wanted to hold on to the occupied area and wait for the reserve troops to arrive for reinforcements to repel the Yimlan offensive. However, then they heard that the newly expanded frontline airport had been destroyed.
Exploded, the frontline air superiority was lost, and Yin Mulan invested a large number of troops and began to attack.
So Custer's command immediately made a decision after urgently analyzing the balance of power between the two sides.
They determined that the protrusion was undefendable, at least their reinforcements could not reach the troops in the frontline area of the protrusion before the Yinmulan people completely encircled them. Therefore, like a strong man who cut off his arm, they decisively issued an order to let the troops already on the front line and Yinmulan
The small number of troops that are entangled with people retreats behind, and the remaining troops that have just been invested quickly withdraw - this may give up the occupied area, and also lose the excellent strategic advantage of the salient, which is equivalent to giving up part of the troops.
But at least it won't force all the troops to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Yimlan people after being surrounded.
Custer's command still knows which is more important than the annihilation of the entire army.
So an intense and exciting retreat begins.
Theirs was an invasion war, so the Yimlan people, who had a local combat advantage, naturally knew their intentions immediately. Thanks to the active resistance organizations behind enemy lines, the Yimlan people even knew the evacuation route of Custer's army. p>
So the troops fighting Custer on the front of the protrusion received orders to launch an attack regardless of casualties. They must try to hold back the Custer troops who wanted to retreat as much as possible. The ground troops encircling the protrusion on two lines also began to
Accelerating the pace of the advance, even without regard to the safety of the flanks, is bound to complete the encirclement before Custer's troops withdraw.
The air force's attendance rate, which is responsible for providing support to Yin Mulan's ground forces, has also increased a lot during this period.
A pilot even has to sortie two or three times a day to perform various missions. Although this completely violates the rules and regulations and the strict work and rest requirements of the Air Force, due to special tasks in special times, rules and regulations in war can only be sidelined. p>
It can only be said that in order to win and inspire the people, the Yin Mulan people have paid no attention to the cost.
After all, once the salient offensive succeeds, it will represent their first major victory since the outbreak of the war.
No Yimlan person is willing to refuse this temptation of victory.
Yin Mulan’s grand duke himself even came to the front line to boost morale.
But what’s more interesting is that after the door kicking operation was completed, the rest of the matter was completely taken over by the Yin Mulan Air Force. The empire’s “Volunteer Flying Team” had no work and could only watch the daily changes in the battle situation at the base.
.
However, the "Red Moon" early warning aircraft that provides intelligence support to the Yin Mulan Air Force still has missions every day.
This advanced early warning aircraft hangs in the sky every day to make up for the lack of aerial battlefield intelligence capabilities of the Yinmulans.

The four fighter jets and their crew members that were supposed to take off for combat were just at the base every day, watching the Yinmulan pilots take off and land in their fighter jets - some fighter jets returned normally after taking off, and some fighter jets returned after taking off.
When we returned, we were all bruised and bruised, and some...well, we never came back.
Even Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh: "These people are really working too hard. Flying a modern jet fighter is no longer the same as propelling a propeller. Once tired, it can easily lead to very dangerous consequences."
Wang Yu just shrugged his sigh: "If one day a war breaks out between us and the Asia Federation, and they invade the empire's territory, then I guess you will be more desperate than these Yin Mulan pilots."
Wenxuan was amused for a moment, then spread his hands: "A war breaks out between two superpowers, well... I don't think it's possible."
It is said that the Yinmulan Air Force has been conducting high-intensity operations these days in order to ensure air superiority.
Air battles, which are usually rare, have occurred frequently in the past few days.
Even if the Custer people's main frontline airport was bombed, in order to protect the troops in the salient, they sent many fighter planes from afar to compete for air supremacy. They fought very aggressively, so even if the Yinmulan people had the range advantage, they also appeared
A lot of losses were incurred.
Of course, the Yimlan people naturally had to make up for these losses, so they continued to order fighter planes from the empire. The empire's military industrial enterprises were naturally happy to accept this order, and the empire generously provided interest-free loans to the Yimlan people. This is actually a sign of friendship between countries.
The empire is not for war profit.
If you really want to make money through the war, you should sell low-priced things at a high price at this time. A second-generation aircraft can be sold at a price that can be sold as a fourth-generation aircraft. War loans must be provided as much as possible.
Interest rates are rising.
For example, in a war a long time ago, the Asia Federation made a lot of money by selling arms to both warring parties, and the prices were high. At that time, I heard that they exchanged a few broken ships for control of a large number of islands. p>
In fact, like this time, the empire can sign a lease agreement with Yin Mulan to complete its support to Yin Mulan.
But after all, this will attract international attention, because signing the Lend-Lease Act is a statement of attitude, and intervening in the war will give Asia an excuse to further intervene, so it can only be done through selling arms in a way that no one can blame. Even if the Asia Federation is currently supporting Custer, it has not explicitly provided them with military equipment.
In short, the Yinmulan people have been fighting bravely and advancing continuously in the past few days.
And the Custer people are also withdrawing from the increasingly narrow gap.
However, under the accelerating siege of the Yimlan people, Custer's evacuation was obviously not as efficient as expected.
Finally, on a day with heavy snowfall, Yin Mulan's two troops finally met.
This also officially means that a large number of Custer troops and military supplies are sealed in the encirclement.
The main part of the salient offensive is over, and the next step is how to swallow up the enemy forces in the encirclement.
Yin Mulan expected that Custer would launch a desperate counterattack during this period, trying to attack the encirclement to break through, so they even shrank the defense line in the western coastal area and mobilized troops to strengthen the encirclement here.
The encirclement quickly stabilized, and the next time was the "garbage" time after the operation.
Seizing the equipment in the salient and capturing the troops would make Custer nervous for a while - after all, they had planned to use the salient as a springboard for attack, so they stored a lot of military supplies here, and there were also a lot of
Military strength.
After Yin Mulan completes his repairs, he can consider counterattack.

"Sir!"
Wang Yu heard a familiar voice, so he put down the gun that was aiming at the target in the distance and turned his head.
Liu Lingxin was standing not far behind her. Her hair was stained with a few snowflakes that had not yet melted. Her face was flushed due to the cold wind, but that cute and cute smile still hung on her face.<
/p>
"I couldn't find you anywhere. After asking around, I found out that you came to the shooting range when you had nothing to do these days."
Liu Lingxin took a step forward, looked at the gun placed on the table by Wang Yu and said this.
Since Wang Yu had no flying missions during this period, he decided to find something for himself and went to the shooting range next to Yin Mulan Air Force Base to practice his marksmanship - pilots are not required to have too deep knowledge in firearms shooting technology.
As long as you are proficient in using firearms and can protect yourself in critical moments, it is enough. In fact, practicing firearms is entirely based on Wang Yu's personal preference.
Hearing her sigh, Wang Yu shrugged: "Idle time is idle anyway."
While speaking, Wang Yu removed the gun magazine from the table, pulled the slide to make sure there was no bullet in the chamber, opened the safety and placed the gun toward the shooting range, then turned to the girl behind him: "So you came here in the snow.
What do you want from me?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Liu Lingxin asked with a smile.
Wang Yu shrugged. He stretched out his hand and pressed a button to bring the target he was shooting at closer.
He looked at the human-shaped target. There were a bunch of bullet holes on the body and a bunch of bullet holes on the head.
In the area outside the human-shaped target, there are no traces of being hit.
It seems that my aiming skills are pretty good. I can hit the target with a gun at a distance of twenty meters.
Liu Lingxin looked at Wang Yu's movements, then looked at the firearms Wang Yu put on the table, and asked: "Speaking of which, I haven't touched a gun much since I entered the service. Can you let me try it?"
Wang Yu was naturally happy. He changed the target paper and put it back 20 meters away, then stepped aside and let Liu Lingxin stand in the shooting area.
Not very dexterously, she inserted the magazine into the gun, loaded it, released the safety, then held the rather large handle of the gun with two small hands, raised it, aimed at the target about twenty meters away, and then pulled the trigger.<
/p>
She fired several times until the remaining bullets in the magazine were emptied, and the pistol automatically hung empty.
Although she looks well-trained and has a steady hand, her accuracy is not very good.
At least Wang Yu saw that she fired so many shots and only two of them hit the target.
Wang Yu then asked: "How did you pass the shooting assessment?"
"Weapons controllers don't need to assess this." Liu Lingxin put down her pistol and tilted her head, "Although it is a training item, it is not within the scope of the assessment. Unfortunately, my results in this training item were not very good at the time." p>
"Your posture seems a bit strange." Wang Yu took a step forward and motioned to Liu Lingxin to raise the gun.
Liu Lingxin complied.
Wang Yu looked at her for a moment and determined that there was something wrong with her holding the gun, so he walked behind her.
"Your posture is a bit strange, let me help you adjust it."
He put his arm around the outside of her body and pressed his hand on her hand.
At this moment, Liu Lingxin's body stiffened slightly for a moment...
Correct your shooting posture or something, is this too...close?
But then she thought that the person behind her was not someone else, but Wang Yu, so maybe... this would be okay.
Wang Yu didn't notice her changes. He adjusted her aiming posture as if teaching her step by step: "Stretch your arms straighter, don't relax your wrists, and turn your head slightly towards me..."
When he spoke, he was right next to Liu Lingxin's ear, so the girl could clearly feel Wang Yu's hot breath on her cheek.
A blush crept up her cheeks unconsciously, but because the weather was cold now, her face was always red, so this sudden blush was not very noticeable...
So Liu Lingxin took a deep breath and adjusted her attention to the firearm in her hand.
Wang Yu let go of her hand and stood aside again: "Remember this posture and try two more shots?"
Liu Lingxin felt a little disappointed for some reason, but she quickly suppressed this emotion. She picked up a new magazine from the side, loaded it into the pistol, and then fired again.
And this time, her results will be much better than last time.
"Very good, it seems you just haven't paid special attention to training in this area." Wang Yu nodded, "But maybe you are right, we don't need to practice shooting skills too much, after all, we don't need pilots and weapon control.
members to fight on land..."
Liu Lingxin suddenly had the idea that if she had not made any progress just now, would Wang Yu continue to use the method just now to "correct" her movements?
This idea made her think a lot.
"Um...are you listening to what I say?" Wang Yu waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Liu Lingxin quickly reacted: "Oh, I'm listening..."
Wang Yu looked at her like this and shrugged helplessly.
It seems that she really has no interest in shooting.
