Chapter 100 Play Strategy

The news that Huo Xiu was promoted to brigadier general and served as the commander of the Fifth Army suddenly spread. The alliance used to have a buffer process in the delivery of powers. You can't say that ordering an officer to become the commander of a legion will suddenly implement it. After all, this will arouse the disgust of officers and soldiers.

But now there is almost no objection.

They all know that it was Huo Xiu, a young man, who made them reverse the defeat in this inevitable situation and gave the enemy a fierce blow to win an excellent victory. Moreover, this command operation is in sharp contrast to the main force led by Hu Fei being annihilated by the enemy.

Who doesn't want to live well? Soldiers are also human, but they bear the heavy responsibility of defending their country. The responsibility makes them brave when facing the enemy, not be afraid, and carry out the commander's order - their highest principle. However, the failed battle commanded by Hu Fei really made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom. Although the annihilation war can often be called a perfect battle by killing more than half of the enemies, after all, more than 30,000 people in the main force killed and injured more than 10,000 in a short encounter, which was due to a decision of the commander.

Huo Xiu's successful command rekindled their hopes. Compared with senior officials with an unreliable aura, they prefer to believe that Huo Xiu's command ability is convincing, and it is also expected to be the commander of the Fifth Army. In fact, the military commanders in the army are usually major general, but due to the current situation, no one cares about these formal things, and the soldiers on the battlefield are eager for capable commanders to lead them.

However, a 28-year-old brigadier still set off a lot of waves in the hearts of the officers. In terms of the mixed 6th Division, they can be said to be the most familiar with Huo Xiu's ability. Everyone's admiration from the bottom of their hearts. In addition, according to historical practice, people who have such achievements at a young age have a bright future.

If the light of victory still shines on them in the next battle.

But although not, Huo Xiu tried his best to find it. He has recovered from the excitement of being promoted to general. Now is not the time to celebrate at all. The enemy is lurking around them, staring at them like foraging beasts, waiting for the opportunity to hit them and give them a fatal blow.

On the afternoon of the victory, the army that kept marching according to Huo Xiu's instructions passed near the location where the main force was annihilated. According to air reconnaissance, the enemy has completely disappeared, but there are still some troops that have been defeated and reassemated. The current task is to find them.

In a few hours of operation, the original three divisions recovered more than 6,000 people, half of whom served in the original 3rd Division (another ace division), and others served in other services. According to the report of a lieutenant colonel of the former Third Division, they were directly annihilated by the enemy in the battle, and the rest They all became prisoners of war.

Only the lieutenant colonel named Benson Paul successfully led a regiment under him to break through and tried to join other comrades all the way. He rushed left and right in the enemy's siege and used the advantage of the night to avoid the enemy's search. After several sporadic battles, the enemy was attacked by the main force led by Huo Xiu. They were able to escape from the encirclement.

But they did not immediately contact the main force. For some reason, satellite communication had been completely interrupted. It was not until later that they knew that it was the consequences of the space war. The rebels tried their best to capture the colonial star, but the Fifth Fleet resisted, but still let the enemy Shooting dozens of EMP* destroyed most of the satellites over the planet, causing the ground to lose global communication and completely disconnect from the alliance network.

However, Benson Paul still contacted the main force through radio communication and successfully merged with them in the afternoon. At this moment, everyone in the remaining troops was in confusion, and their clothes were full of mud and the blood sprinkled by their comrades, but it was the same. They all survived with a breath at any time. The momentum that you can fight bravely.

Huo Xiu felt that this was a good thing. He could let the whole army experience the ferocity of the enemy from these more than 6,000 people. If he worked hard, he would not necessarily die. Just like the process of General Eisen Eaton constantly frustrated and helped Huo Xiu up, Huo Xiu found a way to boost morale this time.

Subsequently, he held a meeting of officers above the intermediate level.

It is mainly for several senior officers to analyze the current enemy's coveted but hidden situation, while Huo Xiu is listening to everyone's different analysis.

"Sir, I think the rebels will definitely find a way to pull out our remnants of the stings in the rear before the coalition forces in other locations launch a decisive battle against the southern continent. Therefore, we don't have much time, and the time given by the headquarters is in a hurry. As long as the time is right, they will launch a decisive general attack.

The speaker was Zhao Yong, who sorted out the current situation and clearly expressed the enemy's destination. All the officers present nodded thoughtfully. Yes, although they have won, they have become the latest of the joint attack forces and it is difficult to coordinate with other forces.

"The enemy really wants to get rid of us." Li Jinghui also said, "But at present, we have just won, and our morale is extremely high. General Huo's strategy must also make the enemy commanders to a certain extent afraid, so they will not immediately attack us, but tentative harassment. It will not be until our Guizhou donkey is exhausted that the tiger will open its mouth."

"The analysis of several people is good." Huo Xiu nodded and said that he had changed his armor and wore an army combat uniform, and the rank on the collar had become a star, representing a brigadier general. Although he doesn't care whether he is a colonel or a brigadier general at present, as long as he can win, Li Jinghui still gave Huo Xiu the collar of his extra clothes. In his words, a general is the core of everyone and must not lose momentum.

"The enemy will not have much conflict with us in the future. They must be looking for strategies to defeat us." Huo Xiu said, "But it doesn't mean that we don't have a solution. In fact, we can use some deceptive strategies to make them think that we are exhausted, or ready to let go and 'accidentally' reveal some flaws."

His words stopped, and he did not have the desire to continue to speak. The last internal traitor incident still waryed him. He could not guarantee whether there were any traitors among the officers he did, but at this critical moment, he would rather only trust the people he believed in than put his hopes on unclear officers.

has been discussed for a long time, but there is no specific result, so the meeting can only be temporarily dispersed.

Huo Xiu asked several officers to continue to stay.

Several officers present were Li Jinghui, Zhao Yong, Nikola Malikov, Mia Lover, Li Song and Eleanor Cruz. At present, in Huo Xiu's mind, they are all trustworthy and the least likely to defect. The rest are old subordinates who have been with Huo Xiu for several years, and Li Song seems to be "rebel" The word "ran" has nothing to do with it, and it is even more impossible for Li Jinghui. If he wants to defect, the army will be finished as early as the attack is launched.

"Annie, it's time to start."

"Yes, sir." Annie came forward and opened a holographic projection device, which showed the topographic map of the whole war zone, spanning 600 or 700 kilometers, concentrating complex terrain such as mountains, forests, rivers, cities, etc., and at the same time making it difficult to command the army.

"I asked you to stay because you are all my trust." Huo Xiu said simply, "As for the reason, you must have understood why Major General Hu Fei died in battle? Our headquarters was attacked inexplicably? It can only show that there is a traitor inside, but there is no time to investigate who it is. I have informed the Military Investigation Bureau that they will come secretly in a few days to help us investigate the problem of the traitors.

"But what I want to talk about is the strategic arrangements for the future."

While Huo Xiu spoke, Anne operated aside. All the strategies he spent the night came up with have been deposited in his private terminal and handed over to Anne's custody. Unless someone can assassinate him directly, this document will never flow out, and Anne's agent background will not allow this to happen.

"I said earlier that some appropriate deception strategies can help us, but now I want to emphasize that we must firmly implement a set of military deception against the enemy." Huo Xiu stressed, "Judging from the distribution of the enemy detected by the air force, they intend to harass us in many ways with small troops, which makes us overwhelmed."

"But at the same time, we can also give them an angry illusion. After several harassment, we will concentrate the main force to seek a decisive battle with the main force of the enemy. On the one hand, we can keep the mobility of the troops and get rid of the strategy targeted by the enemy; on the other hand, we will continue to create illusions... When the time is right, let the enemy After people believe and fall into the illusion we have created, we will continue to take corresponding countermeasures.

Huo Xiu discussed some strategic plans for land warfare with them, most of which were strategic, and few of them were really implemented in each step of tactical command, but after his detailed analysis, everyone agreed with his approach. Subsequently, he rearranged the command arrangement of the troops according to his own authority.

Li Jinghui's authority remains unchanged. He is very familiar with his ace master and can exert his greatest strength. At present, it is not appropriate to make changes at this time, although Huo Xiu has other plans. But for the others, he promoted the ranks of Zhao Yong and Nikolai Marikov to become lieutenant colonels.

Originally, Zhao Yong's army armored regiment and the subsequent troops of more than 6,000 were organized into three regiments, with Zhao Yong as the commander-in-chief. However, due to Malikov's own characteristics, Huo Xiu asked him to continue to lead the elite troops. In addition to a battalion of the Marine Corps, two elite battalion soldiers were drawn for him to establish an elite. Sharp combat regiment.

In this way, the total strength of the Fifth Army has reached the standard of four divisions, with a total of more than 45,000 troops. Although the alliance is used to the "three system" in the arrangement of the army, this is not an express provision. Some special legions even have five or six divisions, such as Huo Xiu, which were temporarily put together in the war, are also normal.

With more than 40,000 troops, Huo Xiu began to be active on the battlefield of the southern continent. In the face of strange enemies, his strategy was implemented step by step, and the enemy also implemented their own set of plans. With the intensification of friction, the second confrontation between the commanders of the two sides is coming.
