.After the second round of airborne operations, the battle entered a short period of adjustment.

In the direction of Wulao Town, the 39th Army has already entered the main force and is advancing steadily, preparing to surround first and then launch a strong attack.

The 16th Army, which operates in concert, did not directly participate in the war, but only concentrated three artillery battalions to provide indirect fire support to the 39th Army.

In the rear, the 65th Army was moving along the Huangcaoli and the Whale Shui was moving towards Daxing, and then divided the troops into two groups. They advanced to Shangcangli in the southeast, then attacked Xianzhou, and surrounded Xianxing from the south. They advanced all the way to the southwest underwater to restrain the coalition forces' Western Front Legion that might move eastward.

Although the Sixty-Fifth Army was able to cut off the retreat passage of the main force of the coalition army's Western Front Army after occupying Xianzhou and forced the coalition to retreat from Xianxing, Xianzhou is located in the south of Xianxing and is also a key guarding area for the Second Marine Division. It is no less difficult to attack Xianzhou than to attack the Five Old Formation, and the Sixty-Fifth Army may not be able to complete the task smoothly.

The key is still in Wulao Town.

Only by capturing Wu Lao Town can we advance to Xianxing, forcing the Second Marine Division to fully cope with the 39th Army and reduce the pressure on the 65th Army.

To put it simply, if you conquer Wulao Town, you will be very sure to conquer Xianzhou.

If Wulao Town is not able to conquer Wulao Town, it will be difficult to attack Xianzhou.

This is very obvious in tactical arrangement. Huang Zhibo asked the 39th Group Army to attack Wu Lao Town instead of allowing it to perform roundabout tasks, but wanted to smash persimmons with a hammer and strive to go to Wu Lao Town in the shortest time, otherwise the subsequent attack would definitely be in trouble.

But now I can't come even if I'm anxious.

At least for the next two hours, the 39th Army will have to stay outside Wulao Town. It is still unknown whether it can defeat Wulao Town in the first round of attacks in eight hours.

During this period, the Volunteer Army Command could do nothing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Zhibo convened the main staff and held a combat meeting.

When I entered the conference room and saw Lu Wen sitting upright, Mu Haoyang realized that this was not a temporary meeting, but had been arranged long ago.

"From the current situation, the situation is still developing according to our plan, and there are no unexpected situations. Although the 39th Army encountered tenacious resistance in Wulao Town, in the next few hours, the coalition forces were still unable to effectively command the front-line combat troops, so it is unlikely that we will cause us greater trouble." Huang Zhibo went straight to the point and went straight to the topic, and it was the most important topic. "It is not my credit for this result, but the credit for you and the front-line commanders and fighters, but we cannot be proud, let alone slacking off. Only by making long-term plans can we persevere until the end and reverse the passive situation in one fell swoop."

No one wanted to speak because everyone heard it, and the focus of Huang Zhibo's words was on the last sentence.

"The battle has begun for four and a half hours, and we still have four hours." Huang Zhibo glanced at his watch and said, "No matter what happened in these four hours and how much victory was achieved, four hours later, the coalition forces will definitely counterattack and fight back with all their strength."

Qi Kaiwei lowered his head and sighed. This was the biggest problem for the volunteers.

A comprehensive electromagnetic warfare will be at most eight hours of offensive time for the ground troops, and after that, the offense will be turned into defense to welcome the counterattack of the coalition forces.

"Now, we must figure out where the coalition forces will launch a counterattack and what methods will it have launched a counterattack."

At this time, a communications consultant hurried into the conference room and whispered in Qi Kaiwei's ear.

Huang Zhibo stopped talking and looked at Qi Kaiwei.

"I just received the news that the vanguard of the 15th Army had already attacked Dingping and was fighting fiercely with the Korean army."

Huang Zhibo's brow jumped a few times and said, "It's a good job. I've completed the second phase of combat mission a few hours in advance. Now it depends on how fast the 15th Army can capture Dingping."

"The resistance of the Korean army is definitely not very tenacious, otherwise the 15th Army would not have been able to invade Dingping so quickly."

Huang Zhibo nodded thoughtfully and did not comment.

Qi Kaiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "At this offensive speed, the 15th Army has the hope of occupying Dingping before the end of the first round of attack."

"But no one can guarantee it." Huang Zhibo smiled and said, "Since the 15th Army has made a breakthrough in Dingping, we will do our work here."

Qi Kaiwei guessed Huang Zhibo’s meaning and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"As long as the 15th Army conquers Dingping, the coalition will have no choice." Huang Zhibo paused for a moment and said, "Tell the front-line commanders and fighters of the 15th Army that if I conquer Dingping, I will personally award them the collective special merit. If I can still defend Dingping before the end of the battle, they will be the number one hero. Send my words directly to the 15th Army, and let them know that Dingping is the most critical battlefield in this battle."

"No problem, I'll deal with it immediately." Qi Kaiwei called the communications officer over.

"No, I have to give some encouragement to the 15th Army." Huang Zhibo thought for a moment and said, "After conquering Dingping, the coalition forces will definitely fight back frantically. But the pressure is not great enough, the coalition forces may not give up Xianxing and retreat to the south on their own initiative. If the 39th Army can make a breakthrough in the north, conquer Wulao Town and advance to Xianxing, the 65th Army will accelerate the advancement and strive to reach the periphery of Xianzhou as soon as possible, the coalition forces will have no choice."

Now, not only Qi Kaiwei was surprised, but also other staff officers showed a look of surprise.

"Commander-in-Chief, if you fight like this..." Mother Qi Tie hesitated for a moment and said, "It is equivalent to focusing all the pressure on the 15th Army. The coalition will definitely use all its strength to attack Dingping. Even if the third round of airborne is successfully completed, it can only send one semi-airborne division, and..."

"The 15th Army is under pressure, but are there other troops?" Huang Zhibo glanced at his mother Qi Tie.

Mother Qi Tie immediately shut up and stood up and spoke because the 15th Airborne Army was a combat unit under the Air Force, not an combat unit of the Army.

"All participating troops are under pressure, not only the 15th Army is fighting bloody battles." Huang Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We will definitely not have a chance of winning when fighting a regular battle with the coalition. If we want to win, we must gain a military advantage. Unfortunately, even on the Eastern Front battlefield, we do not have a military advantage. The three main armies and half of the airborne army, even if the third batch of crossing the river troops left behind, are not much more than the two marine divisions. Don't forget that there are more than 100,000 Korean ground troops in the coalition. We must let the coalition concentrate the troops to a certain place and use fewer troops to withstand the main force of the coalition, so that we can gain military advantage on other battlefields. Relatively speaking, who is better at fighting defensive wars than airborne troops?"

Huang Zhibo is right, the airborne troops are indeed the ground troops that are best at fighting defensive wars, especially positional defense wars.

Although in strategic use, airborne troops are typical strategic offensive troops, their main mission is to enter the enemy's rear, cut off the enemy's main traffic line, or occupy key military strongholds, and then turn to defense on the spot, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Most of the time, airborne troops have to fight defensive wars.

After drinking two sips of tea and lit a cigarette, Huang Zhibo continued: "Since the 15th Army has already entered the battlefield, we must play its due role. Now, we must think of a possible counterattack method by the coalition forces in order to prepare in advance and help the 15th Army defend its position."

"Until the 39th Army and the 65th Army make a breakthrough, the 15th Army will not be under too much pressure." Qi Kaiwei did not speak for the 15th Airborne Army, and it would be useless to say it. "Under the current situation, it is unlikely that the coalition forces will draw the Second Marine Division, and the first one to dispatch should be the nearby Korean army."

"Spread the defenders of Yuanshan?"

“There is this possibility.”

"So, can we take this opportunity to capture Yuanshan?"

Qi Kaiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "The force is not a problem. The 15th Airborne Army still has half a division. When the Korean army is empty in defense, it should be able to occupy Yuanshan or destroy the military supplies hoarded by the coalition forces in Yuanshan. However, we cannot send the troops there."

“Where is the ground?”

"It is unlikely that the three main armies have missions, and they march from the ground, either from Dingping south or bypass the Beida Peak Mountains. If the former works, there is nothing to worry about in Dingping's battle, and there is no need to rush to capture Yuanshan. If we take a detour, the assault distance is more than 200 kilometers, and we have to cross the Central Mountains of Korea in the south of Baishan. If we do not consider being blocked, the march will be about two days. If we consider the possible blockage, even if the troops can reach the vicinity of Yuanshan, we will not be able to launch an attack."

"So, we can only give up the idea of ​​attacking Yuanshan."

“It seems that’s true at the moment.”

Huang Zhibo smiled and said, "Fortunately, we did not regard the capture of Yuanshan as the purpose of the battle. As long as we can fight a beautiful battle in Ham Hing, it will be no difficulty to occupy Yuanshan when the coalition forces retreat across the line. So, the question now is, in what way will the coalition forces attack Dingping, which was occupied by the 15th Army?"

After saying that, Huang Zhibo turned his gaze to Lu Wen.

"I am not a combatant, so it's not good to express my opinion tactical, but I can be sure that the coalition forces will definitely use electromagnetic weapons in ground wars." Lu Wen glanced at the staff officer a few times and said, "In the situation where the situation is favorable, the coalition forces will not use electromagnetic weapons. After all, the coalition forces are more dependent on electronic equipment. As long as the battle is not smooth, especially if we cannot use conventional means to deal with our attack, the coalition forces will have no choice. We have no reason to doubt the coalition forces' ability to fight electromagnetic warfare. The first to propose electromagnetic warfare was the US military. So it can be imagined that as long as the 15th Army occupied Dingping, the coalition forces would not worry so much and would definitely launch counterattacks in various ways. During this period, the coalition forces would definitely use electromagnetic weapons to cut off our communications with the 15th Army."

"Mr. Lu, do we have a way to deal with it?"

"Commander-in-Chief, isn't it just for this?"
