Chapter 101 Deception, containment and attack

On the afternoon of November 3, the rebel headquarters.

Although the first outside strike failed completely, Lieutenant General Yan Shengyong, as a commander, was not obsessed with this. Winning and losing is war. He is not the god of war, and he does not believe in the existence of a winning figure. Even the legendary second emperor, he must have a place to be defeated.

This is Yan Shengyong's way to adjust his mentality. As a veteran, he may not be able to raise his head because of a failed blow. What's more, after being defeated by the enemy in the outer battle, he turned to the direction of the naval fleet against the enemy and indirectly supplies the enemy.

Subsequently, Yan Shengyong dispersed his forces and attacked the enemy many times while improving mobility. The battle was second, mainly to consume their patience and deplete the momentum accumulated by the enemy's first victory. He was well clear that the combat effectiveness is absolute in use, and the material combat power will develop over time. Zhan, but the spiritual combat power will show a gradually weakening curve, and he wants to defeat the enemy from these two aspects.

is the special use of "one drum, then decline, three exhaustion" in ancient times. For war, especially land warfare, Yan Shengyong believes that he has few of his own opponents. The first failure made him put away his mentality of contempt for the enemy and completely concentrate.

But at the same time, he did not only fight against Huo Xiu, a legion. As a trump card of the rebels, he was responsible for the comprehensive battle of the southern continent. The alliance has allocated more than 20 divisions to attack the southern continent. Except for the only failed battle, other aspects are still waiting for the near number. 150,000 alliance soldiers.

The decisive battle with the main force of the alliance is crucial. The tens of thousands of troops in the rear can only scratch at best, but if he does not scratch it, it will be uncomfortable. He must eliminate the tens of thousands of troops that have lost supplies before the decisive battle and can no longer be delayed.

"Sir, our army's actions in the southern region have completely disrupted the deployment of the enemy in the past few days. They have repeatedly wanted to seek a decisive battle with us, break through the indirect strategic circle of influence, and join other forces, but none of them have failed. According to our spy report, the commander is a young man. The last time he was able to break our siege circle was entirely because of coincidence. After these unresperate commands, he has been very impatient and has held many officer meetings to seek solutions, but there is always no result.

"Young people." Yan Shengyong shook his head, "The impetuousness is always their defect. After these battles, he will experience the power of actual command, and then his subordinates will also infect him. If it goes on, mistakes will become a common thing. It is difficult for the whole army to form an effective combat effectiveness."

Yan Shengyong seems to be talking to himself and seems to be sorry for the other party's commander.

"General, are we going to attack them in the near future to completely defeat the enemy?" The staff officer asked when he saw Yan Shengyong's appearance of victory.

"They have to be solved." Yan Shengyong said, "According to the information from the front, the alliance has begun to gather troops from many directions and prepare for a large-scale clean-up battle against our troops. At that time, I don't want a group of reptiles in the rear that interfere with me."

"I understand, sir." The staff officer nodded and said, "I'm going to hold a meeting of officers to prepare for targeted and thorough action against the enemy in these days."

"Well, go ahead."

Huo Xiu's command strategy in recent days is indeed a little wavering, just like a person hesitating whether to go left or right at a fork in the road. In key aspects, he has become a little hesitant because of the enemy's targeted actions and the increasing lack of his own supplies. Although he thinks about it is looking forward and backward, it has become an obstacle.

The subordinate officers repeatedly hinted that they needed the commander to reformulate their strategies or simply let the troops rest, but Huo Xiu did not accept their opinions. In the eyes of some officers, he was like a troubled beast. Although he was still wild, his behavior always seemed to be disorderly.

The officers all think that the commander is under too much pressure. Not to mention fighting with the enemy, even maintaining a calm command will become a problem. Some people have even talked to Li Jinghui in private, hoping that he can replace or give Huo Xiu some useful tips. After all, Li Jinghui is also a veteran.

He wrote down these people and handed them to Huo Xiu's assistant through his trusted men. Then Anne passed on the information of these people to the CIA agents who had been mixed into the army. A targeted cleaning up of traitors has been slowly carried out in the army. At the same time, war reports came from the front line.

Lovell stood in front of Huo Xiu and reported carefully: "Sir, the main force of the alliance is currently rapidly gathering troops and seems to launch a major operation against the rebels in a few days."

"How far are we from the main force?"

Huo Xiu raised his head and looked at her.

"There is a journey of more than 800 kilometers, but the roads around here have not been damaged. Our mobility can be fully exerted, but the materials are not enough to consume violently."

"Well, I see." Huo Xiu nodded, "So, the enemy will also attack us recently... Major Lovell, you prepare them. This is a good opportunity for us to crack the enemy's indirect strategy. Anyway, we must seize it."

"Yes, sir."

After Lofer left, Ho Xiu in the commander's tent stared at the strategic map, showing a mysterious smile. Is it a decisive battle? The opportunity has finally come again. No matter who the opponent is, this time he can only have one result - victory. If they fail, they will still die.

It rained that night. Although it was not big, it had some impact on the surrounding mountain environment, and the roads became muddy. However, the troops also got a rest due to the rain. Although the night was easy to be used by the enemy, the environment would not favor them.

Huo Xiu put on his armor after charging and sat on the ground with his eyes closed to rest. Even at this moment, he still kept his gun.

......

"shir, sir! Wake up!"

Eleanor's cry came to her, "Wake up, Major Lovell reports emergency information. She needs you to go there now!"

Huo Xiu opened his eyes, and Eleanor's face covered his sight.

"I know." Huo Xiu got up slowly. He had expected that something big would happen in the next few days. "Go and prepare for it and follow the air force later."

Eleanor nodded and ran away.

"Shir, you're here!" After seeing Huo Xiu, Lovell immediately reported the information obtained from the land navigation reconnaissance. "The infrared detection results show that a large number of enemy troops are coming in our direction. They are divided into three teams to cut off the front we established and split the attack on us."

Huo Xiu was silent. After a while, he said, "Let the army prepare to meet the enemy and call several commanders at the same time. I have an important task for them."

"Yes, sir."

At about dawn, the enemy chose to attack after a night of vigilance in his personal consciousness and was about to choose to attack at the tired and most relaxing moment of dawn. Obviously, it was also after some consideration. Huo Xiu also came up with a corresponding response plan and ordered his subordinates to do their best to complete it.

"Nikolai Marikov." Huo Xiu named Marikov's name, "You lead an elite regiment to obstruct a group of enemy troops on the far right. Pay attention to what I have said to you. Your role is to contain this No. 1 enemy, not to fight against them. Once you mess it up--

"Military legal disposal, sir!" Marikov replied loudly that the usually rude man took out 120,000 points of professionalism, "The intention of my elite group is to 'show existence', appear in places where the enemy makes it difficult, threaten them, and make them have to give up their main goal and focus on me."

"Good recit." Huo Xiu said, and then patted him, "Execute it seriously, remember my words, and act with your brain. There are more than 3,000 people under you, and they can't bear the consequences of your recklessness!" In addition, I believe that your defense ability is as strong as your ability to command elite operations!"

"Thank you, sir."

"Next, there will be the largest number of No. 2 enemy and No. 3 enemy troops." Huo Xiu continued to issue operational orders, "We also divided our forces into two groups. The first group corresponds to the No. 2 enemy, consisting of the mixed division and the 33rd Division; the second group corresponds to the No. 3 enemy, consisting of three marine regiments and the 2nd division."

"Among them, we were the first to launch an attack on the No. 3 enemy. We used Napoleon's concentration method (before the battlefield) to let the mixed division, the 33rd Division and three marine regiments attack the No. 3 enemy, while the 2nd Division defended against the No. 2 enemy. We will defeat the No. 3 enemy as soon as possible, and then the Marine Corps will be quick. Return quickly to support the elite regiment that contained the No. 1 enemy, and we continued to concentrate on dealing with the No. 2 enemy, and finally the No. 1 enemy.

Generally speaking, Huo Xiu's method of concentrating combat effectiveness is very clever, so that each regiment is in battle with the highest utilization rate, and avoids the commander's most common mistakes in scattered use and using troops one after another. Although it is the most common battlefield concentration, it fully shows his proficiency in war. It is not at all that "young commanders no longer have the energy to deal with these situations" in the eyes of the enemy.

The enemy was fooled.

Everything Huo Xiu showed was an illusion. He deliberately showed his flaws to the enemy and let them choose to attack at the most exhausting time of the alliance troops, thus destroying them in one fell swoop. But this time it was doomed not to succeed. Huo Xiu's complete plan was applied to the battle, and in order to improve morale, he even went to the battle himself.

Yes, it is only common for commanders to fight in person in ancient times. In modern warfare, sometimes commanders are even thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, and even those who are not on the same planet. Huo Xiu didn't like this kind of bloody battlefield, but the commander still hid in the safest place without damage.

He fought to improve the morale of the soldiers at this time. Imagine that the superior commander also held a gun, stood on the same battlefield with them, had close contact with him, and even became comrades-in-arms who covered him and shot the enemy. How could they not be boiling?

While showing the commander's combat ability and courage, this method not only won the admiration and worship of all the soldiers, but also had a surprising winning effect.
