Chapter 917 The whole territory!

"Well, this is the last pot of dumplings, and then we can start the feast." The chief of the capital city looked at the battle report with a smile on his face.

No matter what the Russians' reaction is, whether it is sweet talk or hard work, this reaction will definitely not be enough to save their last organized force in Weinan.

This army of 2700 people could not even be said to have collapsed at the first touch. Among them, four or five hundred were the defeated soldiers who had been beaten back earlier. It was not accurate to say that, because at least the defeated soldiers had been beaten back a bit. But among them, there was an entire battalion that had not even been beaten back. They just watched the fire from the other side of the hill for a while, and then slipped away without even saying hello.

It would be more appropriate to call him a deserter.

Then most of the other troops are either guards protecting the command center or miscellaneous personnel. In theory, the guards are not incapable of fighting, but given the current situation in Weinan, they are obviously not very good.

What's the point of fighting a war with a bunch of bugs like this?

Our troops haven't come up yet, and the deserter scared his own people first. Huh? Are the Dongda people so good at fighting? Are their weapons so advanced? Are their tactics so mysterious? No, the last question can't be answered by an ordinary dirty three, and the deserter can't explain it clearly. How can they know this thing? They just know that before the stalemate, the muzzle of the other party's gun is on their forehead.

In addition, countless corpses floating downstream often appeared in their eyes, which scared them to death.

Normally, seeing corpses in the river was commonplace, but this was different! The thought that they might end up like this made them shudder.

This made Zang San very uncomfortable because the Japanese, a "herbivorous nation", starved to death in large numbers because they were really herbivores, giving him a huge advantage. Zang San, who had unrealistic confidence in his military capabilities, was very uncomfortable with this.

The last time I fought a big battle it wasn’t like this.

Our comrades obviously had no intention of taking their feelings into consideration and chased them all the way. Zang San ran all the way like a sea cucumber. Once he was caught up, he left some troops behind to buy us time. Once he was caught up, he spit out some more.

After chasing and fleeing, they actually managed to escape to a broken bridge, and there were still about 2000 people left.

But that's where their good luck ended.

It was impossible to fight a war. It was impossible to fight a war all the way. We didn't know how to repair the bridge. We had to make some rafts and small boats to escape. Entering the prisoner-of-war camp felt like going home. It felt much better in the prisoner-of-war camp than in the war! Everyone in it was familiar, and the left and right hands were used in the same way. We loved it there!

Translated, it means that if they don't want to go to a prisoner-of-war camp, they have to find a way to get something to cross the river.

The enemy's lieutenant general commander stood in front of the tank, watching his soldiers scramble to find equipment to cross the river.

The reason why he didn't take the helicopter here was not because he wanted to live and die with the troops, but simply because all the helicopters were shot down! Gone!
Of the three planes that went to transport the troops, none came back, and the two remaining spare planes were destroyed by a bomb we dropped from a distance. If I can't recognize your command post, can't I recognize your airport and helicopter?

At this moment, he was very glad that he had arranged the only three remaining tanks of the destroyed tank regiment by his side. After the helicopter had no way to escape, having these three tanks would make traveling safe and convenient. The only problem was that it was a bit hot, but this was not a big problem for Zang San.

He sniffed, turned around and looked at the red mud on the tank tracks, and walked a few steps away in disgust. The mission of these tanks was almost over. They couldn't get through. Fortunately, through this bridge, they were out of the mountains in less than 10 kilometers and could enter their own plains.

He recalled the past two or three days of fighting with lingering fear, and still couldn't figure out how he had lost and why his entire line suddenly collapsed. I was deploying according to what was written in the book, and I had the help of staff officers, so this shouldn't have happened.

While thinking about this question that he couldn't answer in a short time, he looked at the soldiers crossing the river in front of him. He didn't want to wait for all the soldiers to cross the river before crossing it himself. The reason he waited was just to see if the river was easy to cross.

To put it simply, it is to find guinea pigs for experiments. These days, I have been driven crazy by the elusive Dongda people. I always feel that a group of divine soldiers may jump out from anywhere.

Only when he saw the first group of soldiers who crossed the river stepping onto the riverbank on the other side did he breathe a sigh of relief. He and his personal guards picked out the largest boats and crossed to the other side.

When he finally stepped onto the solid ground on the east bank of the river, he breathed a sigh of relief and crossed the river with his bodyguards and other soldiers.

It is still unsafe with too few people. Even if it is only 10 kilometers, he must at least gather enough chips in his hands to break off the tail and escape.

The enemy crossed the river one after another, and there were more and more people on the river beach on the east bank.

On the hillside not far from the river beach, a man put down his telescope and turned to the communicator and said, "That's enough. We may not be able to take any more. Notify the 82 guns and 61 artillery, fire!"

The communicator shouted on the radio: "Fire!"

Then he turned around excitedly and said with a smile: "Captain, your trick really works, it's amazing!"

When the enemy was happily crossing the river by boat, they did not think about one question: where did so many boats come from at the bridgehead? It was only a few days after the bridge was broken.

The answer is very simple. This is a team of our army that came from the middle section of Weinan. We collected the information for them with only one purpose, to let them cross the river, and then attack them halfway across!

Attack when the enemy is halfway across the river. It is most likely not like what is shown in some movies and TV dramas. You wait for the enemy to cross the river and attack them when they are in the middle of the river. If the river is wider, the long-range weapons in ancient times cannot reach the enemies in the middle of the river. Do you have to rush up and fight on their side?

This kind of fighting style basically has no advantages and will not yield enough practical benefits. Attacking the enemy halfway across the river should be launched after part of the enemy's forces have crossed the river. At this time, the enemy's formation is not in order and their strength is not complete. This is the best time to strike them. Once the enemy is defeated and the front and back are in conflict, that is the most fatal.

Otherwise, even if you win the battle in the middle of the river, it will be of no use if you only kill the enemy's vanguard.

In fact, if you look at the original text of “attack when they are halfway across the river” you will know, “If the enemy is coming across the water, do not meet him in the water. Let him halfway across the river and then attack him. This will be beneficial.”

What does it mean? It means that you should not fight on the water, but wait until part of the enemy has crossed the river before fighting. Here, "ji" means crossing the river.

All I can say is that it is impossible to understand the meaning of a quote after reading only half of it, "To take a quote out of context, is quoted from 'Don't take a quote out of context'".

No matter what it means, this is how our commanders and fighters fight.

With the sound of approaching artillery shells, mortar shells exploded in the enemy pile on the river bank. There were even comrades in the ambush unit carrying 61mm rifles, firing guns with grenades, and using light and heavy machine guns to collect heads.

Well, we are a little scared since we are lightly equipped and have insufficient firepower. So we will just use whatever weapons we have.

On the vast river beach, enemies fell in large numbers, and their blood flowed into the river and drifted downstream.

The enemy offered no resistance at all. The river beach was too open, and the largest rocks were only the size of a human head, making it difficult to hide. Naturally, there was no way to reorganize a resistance.

It was too difficult for them to ask Zang San, who couldn't even hold out in the fortifications, to organize a resistance in the open terrain on the river beach under concentrated fire.

Heavy machine guns began to fire, tracer bullets drew hot white lines in the air, and shot directly at the enemy crossing the river. The enemy fell into the water like dumplings, some were hit, and some jumped out of fear.

In fact, the results are almost the same. In the weather in November, you lose temperature very quickly in the water. If you don’t get out of the water within three to five minutes, you will almost certainly die. Even an extremely angry athlete can’t stand it.

We were just pouring out our firepower and had no intention of launching a charge. If we could kill people on the riverbank, there was no need to charge down there ourselves.

The enemy commander was lucky and did not lose his life in this wave of firepower, but his skin was scratched by shrapnel.

Just when he was at a loss, one of his bodyguards pulled out something from his treasured backpack and waved it vigorously.

white flag!

In other words, it was a white sheet.

"How come you still have this thing?" The enemy lieutenant general was so excited that he almost cried!

"I took it from your bed when we retreated." The guard had a proud smile on his face. This was the first time he had laughed from the bottom of his heart since the retreat.

Surrender! Surrender! This guard has done a great job! Don't give the East any chance to kill us! The clever Sindhu orderly, he has obtained the glorious tradition of the Gauls! The Gauls and the Boots Kingdom are possessed by their souls at this moment. At this moment, he is not the only one surrendering!
He was not the only one surrendering. Even on the west bank of the river, the enemy, frightened by the sudden and violent fire attack, got out of nowhere a few white flags and waved them desperately in the air.

It is normal that there are more flags on the opposite side because there are more people.

"Cease fire! Cease fire!" Seeing the enemy's white flag through the telescope, the battalion commander hurriedly gave the order.

We are a moral and righteous army, and we will not fight unless you surrender.

The sound of gunfire gradually died down, and the enemies knelt on the river bank one after another, with their hands raised high.

At this time, the enemy commander was almost the only one standing, standing out from the crowd and extremely conspicuous. He wanted to maintain his last bit of dignity.

"Wow, we caught a big one! We've got into big trouble!" The battalion commander understood what was going on as soon as he saw it. He was so happy that he even spoke in his hometown dialect. "We've got into big trouble" means to gain a lot of benefits.

"Captain of the First Company, lead the team down and take in the prisoners." He grabbed the radio and shouted into the microphone.

The captain of the first company was full of excitement: "First Company, follow me! Second Platoon, Third Platoon, cross the river to the other side and gather up the people on the other side!"

“I understand!”*2.

At this point in the battle, the self-defense counterattack on the plateau came to a successful conclusion.

The remaining enemies were eliminated and the entire territory was recovered!
