“Tell me.”
“If we can’t stop the Red Army from crossing the river, we can at least stop him from crossing the river tonight.”
” This will consume half a day of the Red Army’s time.”
” Time is becoming more and more precious to the Red Army. It is also the only weapon we can use to suppress the Red Army’s combat power.”
” That’s why I think our battle is worth fighting.” “As expected of the Chief of Staff. Two to one.”
Long Xiaoyun could only sigh. “Then what about tomorrow?” Qin Yuan immediately said. “I’ll listen to you tomorrow!”
“Listen to what?”
Qin Yuan stood up, walked to the map, and pointed at the location on it.
‘ Look, as long as Wang Zhigang crosses the river tomorrow, he’ll be facing a flat road that leads to the Wolf Mountain base.”
” Moreover, we can arrive in half a day.”
“And what about the one in front of us? We’ll just defend Highland 535 to the death. ”
Long Xiaoyun answered.
“Alright! Then let’s defend to the death!” “Prepare to fight the most brutal battle of defense.” “That’s the only way. There’s no other way.” Qin Yuan did not believe it. “Is there no other way? It can’t be, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, you definitely have a way!”
“If you say you didn’t do the opposite, then you must be being sarcastic.”
Long Xiaoyun pointed at the map and repeated his words. “A flat road, half a day’s journey. Didn’t you just say that?”
“What if I can’t defend it?”
“Are you going to leave me in the lurch?”
Long Xiaoyun ignored him and walked away.
This made Qin Yuan speechless, but there was nothing he could do.
He turned around and said to Zheng Xiaohu.
“Order the mechanical infantry unit to attack immediately. We must stop the blue army in the middle of the river!”
‘ Order Captain Geng Hu to deploy the assault helicopters for air support.” ‘We must hold on until nightfall and withdraw from the battle before dawn!”
“Yes, sir!”
On the surface of the Anqi River, the Red Army’s Ground Cannon Company and the 3rd Battalion of the Mobu Army were sailing vigorously.
After receiving the order, the Blue Army’s infantry unit rushed to the defense position at the Anqi River ferry in an orderly manner.
“First Company, Second Company, and Third Company’s infantrymen, fire on all vehicles to stop them!”
“Block the Red Army ferry on the Anqi River.”
With the order of the commander of the mechanical infantry battalion, the north bank of the Anqi River was instantly filled with gunfire. They opened fire on the Red Army ferry sailing on the river!
Wang Zhigang looked at the battle situation on the network information map and ordered.
“Fire cover!”
The team leader was a little worried.
“Brigadier general, the firepower of the Blue Military Infantry Battalion is very fierce! It’s difficult for the ferry to reach the shore.”
“Order the ferry to return immediately!”
“Let the artillery regiment concentrate their firepower on the Blue Army’s dike position!”
“At the same time, inform the air squadron to enter the battle!” “We have to destroy the Blue Army’s north shore position before dark!” Wang Zhigang understood the situation and said straightforwardly.
For a moment, the entire Anqi River became the first head-on confrontation between the Red and Blue Army during this exercise!
Although the Blue Army occupied favorable terrain conditions, they could not do anything about the fierce artillery attack of the Red Army.
Not long after, he was defeated.
The commander of the Blue Military Infantry Battalion took out his binoculars during the battle and saw that the ferry on the Red Army’s river had begun to return.
However, due to the disparity in strength between the Blue Army and the enemy, coupled with the heavy casualties of the Blue Army, he immediately ordered.
“Retreat!”
“Yes, sir!”
Regrettably, their objective of this operation was not achieved. The Red Army successfully took down the Anqi Ferry.
After taking down the Anqi ferry, Wang Zhigang finally heaved a sigh of relief.
These few days, the Blue Army had been tormented by sleepless nights. They had not been able to sleep well. Now, they could finally have a good sleep.
In the evening, only Zhang Xiaoyu and the team leader were left in the Red Army headquarters to study the next tactics.
“Political commissar, chief of staff.”
‘ Commander Zhu, report. The 3rd Battalion has reached the north bank of the Anqi River. They’ve occupied all five kilometers of the dike.”
The team leader glanced at Zhang Xiaoyu.
“Should we tell the brigade commander?” “No, no, Brigadier General is too tired!”
“Let him sleep a little longer!”
“Good!”
“Then I’ll get the artillery regiment to prepare to cross the river.”
At this moment, Wang Zhigang was lying on a reclining chair in the command post. He probably hadn’t slept for long. Hearing their discussion, he suddenly sat up.
“What about the Blue Army?”
” We don’t know where they are now, but we destroyed four chariots and lost
120 men.”
I reckon they’ve already been routed and retreated under the cover of the night.’
The team leader reported with a smile.
It was obvious that the Red Army had the upper hand in this battle.
Who knew that Wang Zhigang did not intend to pursue the victory and instead said in a deep voice.
‘ Don’t cross the river tonight. Have the mechanical infantry unit search in depth and scout north along the highway. Control at least 50 kilometers of the road.”
The captain was in a good mood.
Brigade Commander, tomorrow morning, the artillery regiment will cross the
Anqi River. Our journey will be smooth!”
Wang Zhigang was also in a good mood, but when he thought of Hong Yi, he felt a little melancholic.
“I hate Hong Yi. He hasn’t contacted the brigade until now!”
“If the extra-large troops are mobilized, they will attack us from the north and south.”
” The Blue Army’s mecha battalion was not only defeated, but completely annihilated!”
” Yes, we’ve been trying to contact Captain Hong, but we didn’t succeed.”
“What about the 3rd Battalion?”
Receiving the notice from the director department, a quarter of the crew will be reduced.”
” Team leader, see if the command center can move overnight…” Before Wang Zhigang could finish, Zhang Xiaoyu interrupted him..
