Chapter 103 Boldly Ask for Life
Under Huo Xiu's command, the Fifth Army took control of most of the cities in the southern coastal areas of the southern continent, posing a potential threat to the entire enemy. Although enemy officers still believe that the Fifth Army is still an incongruous legion in front of sufficient troops, it is this legion that has repeatedly frustrated their strategic layout.
Until they launched a vigorous decisive battle with the main forces of the alliance in the northern region, the commander-in-chief Yan Shengyong finally took time to deploy troops and implement the Fifth Army, which was in danger to them. Yan Shengyong decided to send five well-equipped and materially replenished divisions south and put an experienced officer in charge of command. They are fierce and are bound to eliminate this group of throats.
In the face of the enemy's re-invagation, just when everyone thought that the commander would continue to implement some subtle strategies, Huo Xiu spit out only a few simple words: "Abandon some unnecessary materials that affect speed, exert maximum mobility speed, and retreat to the northwest."
Without seeing the enemy, Huo Xiu decided to retreat decisively! This makes many officers a little confused, but for Zhao Yong, who is familiar with him, he thinks this is also a good way. They are stationed in the southern region and have formed a great threat to the rear of the rebels. This action must be inevitable. Even if Huo Xiu has a plan to deal with these attacks, what they need most now is to preserve their strength, not a decisive battle with the enemy!
Zhao Yong thinks so, and Li Jinghui's views are similar, but he is more detailed than Zhao Yong saw - from Huo Xiu's direction of retreat, they are all recently reported rebel rear export areas, that is, the most likely rear reserve base.
But he didn't know exactly what he wanted to do. After more than ten days of getting along with each other, although the other party was only a young man under the age of 30, he sighed that he was inferior in strategy, combat and operation. Huo Xiu was definitely a strategic genius, and experience and age were not a reason to defeat him in front of him.
When the rebels attacked, there was no battle as expected, and the fifth army had long disappeared. Although the air force was sent, the results of the air reconnaissance were not satisfactory. They seemed to run away scatteredly and had to spread their troops if they wanted to pursue. However, in several battles with Huo Xiu, the commander was particularly wary of these scattered teams, so after the rebels captured the city, they did not pursue.
In the enemy report, this "runaway" army has now gradually approached the main battlefield of both sides. Judging from the recent news, the alliance initially lengthened the front line and forced the enemy to lengthen the front line to deal with the attack, but as the battle progressed, the commander of the alliance unexpectedly pulled it out unexpectedly. The army on the long front gathered back, but at this time, the enemy could not do it immediately!
The first confrontation with the enemy suffered a big loss and paid a lot of price. Huo Xiu also appreciated this strategy. Just like Napoleon's early operational command, he liked to disperse his troops against the enemy and lure the enemy to follow, but when he gathered, he immediately carried out a crazy attack on the army that could not be quickly concentrated.
However, the commander of the alliance made a beautiful beginning, but he seemed a little hesitant later. The enemy used this time to implement other strategies to gradually shrink the expanded front in the form of a semicircular curve. Within the front of more than 500 kilometers, The allied forces are constantly fighting.
The two sides seem to be inseparable, and it is difficult to win or lose. But in Huo Xiu's eyes, all this reflects the different strategies of the commanders of the two sides. Perhaps this is what the authorities said. The commander of the alliance could not see the layout of the enemy on the huge battlefield, but Huo Xiu saw that this was a huge "U" shape. In the battle with the enemy, the alliance army Gradually falling into this circle, and the main force is facing the "U"-shaped axisymmetric center!
The alliance is extremely dangerous! Unfortunately, the commander does not seem to have enough ability to get the army out of the confrontation with the enemy. Huo Xiu, who saw through everything in the rear, couldn't help but become anxious. The victory or defeat of the main force of the alliance is closely related to him. Once they fail, their army will be overwhelmed by the huge enemy.
If you let him be the commander, the most effective way is to concentrate the army and converge into a sharp knife. The encirclement of the enemy is not necessarily a dead end. On the contrary, it can be seen as a fierce punch, but it reveals a fatal flaw in the chest. The most effective solution to break the enemy's conspiracy is one word - fast!
Unfortunate, he is not the commander-in-chief.
The commander of the alliance did not have the courage to implement this "rich and dangerous" combat plan, which made Huo Xiu, who was watching the battle in the rear, angry. He wished that he could immediately ban the front-line commander, immediately destroy the enemy's conspiracy, and then defeat the divided enemy troops one by one, which is not far from victory!
The officers felt that the general had been very irritable recently, and he kept complaining about the commander-in-chief of the alliance. Every time the information came back, he wanted to curse. Later, he no longer cared about the front line, but planned his own affairs.
The officers are all in sight, but they can only be anxious. What can they do? If they are senior officials of the headquarters, they will not hesitate to appoint Huo Xiu as the supreme commander, because they all believe that this genius can deal with everything.
Finally, Huo Xiu's patience reached its limit. He sent an emergency petition to the headquarters, vowing that once he took command of the whole army, he would be able to change the weak offensive of the alliance within half a month. If he could not reach it, he was willing to accept the most severe punishment.
Without waiting for a reply from the headquarters, he called his subordinates to hold a short combat meeting in order to save the army that had fallen into the enemy's conspiracy.
"Gentlemen, everyone knows that if the enemy has another next action, the main army will never support it for more than a week. In order to protect the strength of the main force and prepare for the later attack of the enemy, we can no longer hide. We must come up with a strategy enough to save them."
"I understand your mood, sir." Li Jinghui has always been relatively calm. "But with our more than 40,000 troops, I'm afraid we can't effectively threaten the main force of the enemy. We have paid a high price to save the friendly troops from our predicament, and some of the gains are not worth the losses."
"General Li's concern is good." Huo Xiu nodded and said, "But I don't want to fight with the main enemy, but I need to delay their time to destroy our main force."
"According to the information from recent days, when the enemy is collected on a large scale, their logistics is still more than 100 kilometers away. Although it is an excellent protection position for both near and far, we can take the 'teacher' as a unit and not enter the team in each region when they devote themselves. Carry out intrusion, destroy their supplies if necessary, and drag the enemy on the front line!"
After saying that, Huo Xiu glanced at Anne beside him and said, "Captain Romanova, show me the strategic map I made for the officers."
Everyone's eyes are focused on the strategic map.
"Do you understand?" Huo Xiu continued, "Although I am not the commander of the main force, I can unilaterally implement the 'indirect strategy' against the enemy."
Huo Xiu's main purpose remains unchanged, and is still to preserve the strength of the main force, but he did not fight with the enemy, nor did he show his intention. Instead, he attacked the enemy's logistics, indirectly replenished their supplies, making them unable to fight, and appropriately added some guerrilla harassment strategies, and the enemy's seal Cracks will appear when locking.
And Huo Xiu must also estimate accurately. At that time, he must be truly appointed as the commander of the main force. Otherwise, even if there is a crack, the current commander will not be able to immediately seize this fleeting opportunity. It's not Huo Xiu's pride, but the commander's ability of the main army during this period is indeed plain, far from being the opponent of enemy commanders.
Subsequently, Huo Xiu divided the legion into four divisions, gave up some heavy firepower and improved the mobility speed, mainly to carry out the most favorable attack on the enemy's rear supply team. At the same time, they needed to deal with the enemy's possible anti-conveloping and active in their rear eager to destroy their army.
This requires the commander's exquisite time, fighter ability and strategy of the battlefield. In short, Huo Xiu, like a computer, can run at high speed without making any mistakes. At the same time, he commands the attack, defense, containment and retreat in four directions, if placed on an ordinary general I'm afraid that the strength of a teacher is enough for him to be too busy to speak, but Huo Xiu still seems to be orderly.
He once again experienced the feelings of several years ago - at that time, he was active in the virtual world and carried out an "unfair" strategy with a large group of smart commanders. At that time, he forgot time, forgot sleep, and almost lost what had turned into madness.
But this time is different. Time makes him calmer, his views of things more comprehensive, and his vision is more vicious. Even if he makes his brain run under high load, he still seems to be convenient for the control and operation of his opponent's forces. He has seen through the enemy's several siege and interception strategies several times. At the same time, he has carried out against the enemy army several times. The blow.
Guerrilla warfare is always hateful, and it is also the most troublesome battle for commanders in the mountain jungle war. They often want to use nuclear weapons to crack the enemy's guerrilla strategy, but unfortunately, as long as one side takes the lead in using nuclear weapons on the ground, the nuclear war between the two sides is like a demon crawling out of hell and can never Control.
However, except for the painless attack on the enemy, the guerrilla warfare has not had a significant impact on the overall situation. The enemy is currently focusing on the main forces of the alliance and temporarily ignoring the rear of continuous guerrilla destruction. But they never thought that the guerrilla was originally the idea that Huo Xiu thought of, and his ultimate goal was to indirectly supply the enemy.
Maybe they have not noticed the gradually consumed rear, nor expected that this is an indirect strategy implemented by the alliance. But one day when you want to launch a full blow, there will be signs of insufficient supplies and incompletion. That is a good time for the main force of the alliance to turn over.
