Chapter 857(1/3)
This is a big military operation.
Can it be successful?
It depends on the achievements of the special forces.
If you can accidentally defeat the enemy's rear command center, all the high-level enemy generals will be defeated. Xu Ding and Jia Xu join forces to attack on both sides to achieve this victory.
............
It's night.
Jia Heng took Fenglin Volcano to war.
The route they took was the mountains east of Xuzhou, which could reach the enemy's rear.
But no one has ever walked this road.
There is no specific way to find from the map.
therefore.
For Fenglin Volcano, which was first involved in the battlefield, it was a huge test.
After entering the mountain.
Like they had trained in Qiao County before, they did not make any sound during their marching.
Don't light the lights.
If you don’t eat, you will only eat some dry food and water unless you are extremely hungry.
The environment in the mountains is harsh and it is difficult to move forward.
No one would pass without a well-trained special forces.
The 440 special forces soldiers brought by Jia Heng were all participating in the mission for the first time. Although they had undergone rigorous training before, the time was too short after all.
Their experience and combat literacy are far inferior to the real special forces of the Western Shang Empire.
Walked in the mountains for two days and one night.
It was only at noon on the third day that it penetrated to the rear of the enemy.
In order to win one blow, complete the tasks assigned by Xu Ding.
Jia Heng decided to postpone it for twelve hours.
Wait until midnight before acting again.
During these twelve hours, something happened outside. First of all, the senior officials of the Western Shang Empire did not know that Xu Ding also had special forces, and would not have guessed that his rear would be attacked.
In order to eliminate the threat from the west, the Western Shang Empire mobilized fifteen brigades of troops to form a unit with strong mobility and field capabilities, and prepared to launch a comprehensive attack on Xu Ding's First Army.
The meaning is very obvious.
It is to defeat or defeat the First Army, so that Jia Xu from Pengcheng will be in a state of helplessness.
but...
We must mobilize fifteen brigades to form an assault group and attack Xu Ding a hundred miles away.
This takes a long time.
Pengcheng.
In the military camp.
Jia Xu received a message from Xu Ding.
This letter is not easy to come.
Xu Ding sent a master of swordsmanship to pass through the positions outside Pengcheng and deliver them to the city guards. In order to complete this task, several masters of swordsmanship with high martial arts were almost killed.
After reading Xu Ding's letter.
He was a little worried.
"Such a large military operation is very risky. Is it also handed over to hundreds of soldiers to attack the enemy's command center? Isn't this sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? There is no return?"
"Sir, you should know that the Fenglin Volcano Special Forces Force was trained by His Majesty himself, and I believe there is something extraordinary." Zhang Liao said.
"No matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to kill the enemy's hinterland and destroy the enemy's heavy army command center. What's more, it is their first time to use new weapons to fight, so it's good to be able to kill the enemy. How can they take on such an important task?"
Perhaps because Pengcheng was surrounded for too long, Jia Xu became more and more cautious. Even the Fenglin Volcano special forces trained by Xu Ding became an unreliable force in his eyes.
but...
This battle was initiated by Xu Ding.
Its main combat forces are Xu Ding and the special forces.
The 100,000 troops under his command were just to cooperate in combat.
"Wen Yuan, according to Your Majesty's request, draw 70,000 main forces on standby. Seeing the signal flares outside the city, attacking the south." Jia Xu put away Xu Ding's letter and said.
"Don't you disagree?"
"I don't agree, what's the use? The key is... Your Majesty agrees. We are just helping with the war." Jia Xu thought for a while and reminded: "After the battle begins, you must pay special attention to fighting conservatively. Once the situation is wrong, withdraw our defense line immediately and preserve our strength. You cannot lose all your troops."
"yes."
Zhang Liao answered.
.........
In order to draw 70,000 main forces, cooperate with Xu Ding to fight.
Zhang Liao worked hard all night.
All the troops stationed on the front line were concentrated at three points.
Each point has more than 20,000 people, equipped with the best weapons in the army.
and.
Can't be discovered by the enemy.
Zhang Liao was so excited that he could not realize it without knowing it.
The next day.
The enemy troops stationed outside Pengcheng were frequently mobilized.
Among them, five divisions had their troops separated from the large army and advanced twenty miles westward.
Then a regiment was sent.
Get close to Xu Ding's defense zone and conduct a tentative attack.
Their trucks have dozens.
Each carries two artillery pieces and a large number of shells.
Can perform accurate shooting during exercise.
This requires soldiers who are gunning and have superb skills.
The army sent by the Western Shang Empire can be completely done, and the shells will not exceed five meters when they are fired. The accuracy is quite high.
Boom boom boom boom...
The enemy's tentative attacks and artillery fire were also very fierce.
A division arranged by Xu Ding was bombarded.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Lu Su ran into Xu Ding's tent: "Report to Your Majesty, the enemy has begun to attack."
"What are you panic? Defensive counterattack."
"yes."
Xu Ding put on his clothes and took Dian Wei and hundreds of imperial guards to the front line.
The enemy's tentative attack has ended.
There were fifteen brigades behind them, divided into three parts, and drove over in a vast way.
"Zijing, have you figured out the enemy's intentions?" Xu Ding walked into the command post.
"The enemy mobilized fifteen brigades of troops, and the intention was very obvious. He wanted to eat us in one bite." Lu Su said.
"They have a big appetite." Xu Ding used the satellite monitoring system and checked all the troops used by the enemy. He found that there were seven brigades, all mechanized corps.
The remaining troops were also equipped with a large number of light and heavy weapons.
"This group of enemy troops seems to be different from the previous ones. To be precise, they are more powerful than before. Their weapons and equipment are better than us." Xu Ding said.
"Your Majesty is very much."
Lu Su said: "The reinforcements sent by the enemy this time are said to be the elites of the Northwest War Zone of the Western Shang Empire. Their combat effectiveness is several times stronger than that of Ju'an's troops."
Thinking about Jia Xu and Ju'an were in a stalemate in Pengcheng for a month, Jia Xu failed to win with a crowd of 100,000.
Now the enemy has increased its troops.
To be continued...
