He deliberately transferred some soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions to the frontal defense line, so that the government troops mistakenly believed that the three divisions of the Restoration Army were all piled up in the Longkou Gorge, while the carefully selected 2nd and 3rd Divisions secretly sneaked to the sides of the government troops from both sides.
The Longkou Gorge is more than 20 kilometers long, and at its widest point it is seven or eight kilometers, and the First Division built a defensive line every two kilometers, and in the face of the wanton bombardment of government artillery and planes, it was hard to resist for five days at the speed of losing one line of defense in one day.
Five days passed, the 1st Division retreated to the last line of defense, with more than 10,000 casualties, and more than 2,000 were killed in direct battle.
The infantry of the government army is not effective, and the casualties of the revenge army mainly come from the bombing of artillery and aircraft of the restoration army, and the government army has six F16s bought from the United States, as well as more than 20 helicopters, and these planes are very great threats to the revenge army.
The Restoration Army only has two Black Hawk helicopters, and in the face of the superior air force of the government army, it basically does not dare to rise into the air, so it can only occasionally steal chickens, sneak attack the artillery positions of the government army, and also face the ** of the government army.
Yang Dingtian had the ability to sneak attack the airport of the government army, but he didn't do it, he could see from the reaction of Raisi and others, although Raisi and others were in awe of him, but they were somewhat unimpressed by his assassination, South Americans have blazing blood, they would rather fight bloody battles on the battlefield than rely on assassination to win.
Sensing this, Yang Dingtian was a little bored, so he didn't bother to intervene.
However, the bravery of the Restoration Army did make him a little admired, these South American men, although their tactical literacy is really not good, but that kind of courage still makes people a little enthusiastic.
The 1st Division retreated to the last line of defense, fought bloody battles for three days, and refused to take a step back, and at this time, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions were finally all in place.
In the early morning of the 10th day, with Tana's order, Lacey issued an order for a counterattack on all fronts, and 60,000 men carefully selected by the 2nd and 3rd Divisions launched a charge from both sides against the 1st Army of the Government Army.
There was no formation, no tactics, and there was only one order from the 2nd and 3rd Divisions, to rush over, to rush into the positions of the government troops, to kill them, or, to be killed by them.
This is a chaotic war, the real crowd tactics, but the tactics are successful, in the face of the overwhelming flood of the Restoration Army, the government army is simply powerless to resist, knocking down batch after batch, the endless Restoration Army is like the rising tide of the sea, whether you are a reef or an embankment, directly drown you.
When the sun leaped over the horizon, the battle was over, and the First Army was completely annihilated, killing five or six thousand men on the spot, and the remaining more than 20,000 were taken prisoner.
The unprecedented victory of the Restoration Army also increased the popularity and support of Tana and the Loyalists, especially in the Dilong mining area and the Eagle City port area.
When the money was first received, whether it was the Dilong mining area or the Eagle City port area, there were actually many people who were suspicious and afraid, for fear that this was the only time, just like the castle on the beach, as soon as the army of the government army came, the castle would be submerged.
This great victory of the Restoration Army, and it was a total annihilation, and it was the strongest first army of the government army, and now everyone's confidence reached the highest value, at this moment, no one doubted that the royalists would become the ruling party, and Tana would become the new queen.
Even Tana's royal trumpet came out: Queen of the Roses.
But at the moment when everyone was full of confidence and looking forward to the Rose Queen sweeping the country, Tana did not get carried away by the victory, and she ordered the army to be reorganized.
The Restoration Army originally had 120,000 people, but after the great victory, many people signed up to join the army, and the Royalists had secret branches all over the country.
Then there were many people in the First Army of the Government Army who surrendered and wanted to join the Restoration Army.
Tana did not refuse, because in the government army, most of the soldiers are actually poor people's children, as long as these people are slightly brainwashed, they will stand on the side of the Restoration Army, and their tactical literacy is far stronger than that of the Restoration Army composed of miners.
All these people added up, the size of the Restoration Army reached the size of 150,000 people, Tana divided the 150,000 troops into three corps, expanded by the first, second and third divisions, respectively called the first, second and third corps, in order to distinguish it from the government army, in front of the corps, the word Fuguo was added, that is, the first, second, and third corps of the restored country, each corps of 40,000 people.
The remaining 30,000 people were formed into the Guards Division, which was mainly drawn from the elite soldiers of the original Restoration Army, and then mixed with the backbone of the royalists.
The most elite of the Restoration Army now is naturally the First Restoration Army expanded from the First Division that stubbornly defended the Longkou Gorge, but when it comes to loyalty, it should be the Guards Division.
Yang Dingtian was appointed as the commander of the Guards Division, and the deputy division commander was Jessica.
Of course, Yang Dingtian uses Gu Cheng's name, and his face is also Gu Cheng's face, the news that he is a two-faced person in the Great Witch's prophecy is no secret in the Restoration Army and the royalist leadership, but there is still only Tana who has really seen his two faces, and no one knows that his real name is Yang Dingtian, and they all think that he is Gu Cheng.
His true colors, Tana won't tell anyone, this is her biggest hole card.
Tana reorganized the army for a month, and received very good results, the initial expansion of the Restoration Army was too fast, although there were many people, the interior was quite chaotic, the officers were not in place, the soldiers were also disorganized, and the weapons were not enough.
In this rectification, all the officers are in place, and many of them are promoted from the soldiers who have performed well on the battlefield, and the tactical literacy may not be enough, but there is no shortage of loyalty and courage, and it is the group of people who resolutely support Tana.
After the initial training, the soldiers also have a little bit of a military appearance.
Then there are weapons, Yang Dingtian gave Tana four divisions of equipment, but this is far from enough, but in South America, there is never a shortage of arms dealers, and they are all modern weapons made in the United States.
Tana was on the same page, and the arms dealer came over like a big dog smelling the scent of bones.
Tana had a large sum of dollars in money that Yang Dingtian got her, and she was not short of money at all, so she directly purchased the equipment of twenty divisions, and there were a lot of heavy weapons, one hundred and twenty tanks, five hundred armored vehicles, three hundred heavy guns, seventy-two helicopters, twelve F16 fighters, and various **, as well as two thousand military vehicles.
Tana paid the miners, but it cost 300 million, but it cost 600 million to buy these weapons.
Sure enough, raising an army is the most expensive, but the support of the people is much cheaper.
