Chapter 913: Escalation
"It's not a matter of numbers, I roughly guessed the number of people on the other side, there should be a hundred. ”
"Hundred?" Xiang Wuhen thought that he had misheard, he looked at Qiao Silong and said with a dumb smile: "Brother Qiao, are you joking with me, you said that the enemy only has a hundred people, and I thought that it was ten times the enemy's military strength to attack him, can't I still beat him?"
A thousand people also depends on who it is, if the thousand people brought to Endless are the Chinese army, Qiao Silong commanded this integrated team of 1,000 people to fight back, Qiao Silong dared to pat his chest and promised to take the Golden Triangle within an hour and annihilate the enemy.
But the current situation is that these 1,000 people are militia with tattered equipment and very poor fighting quality under the Golden Triangle, and although the enemy is only a few hundred people, each of those 100 people has rich combat experience and excellent weapons and equipment, and the two sides are fighting, even if they are ten times more numerous than the other side, how can they lose.
It is impossible for Qiao Silong to explain these words clearly to him in front of Hentai, if Qiao Silong says this, he really looks down on others.
Qiao Silong lowered his head and figured it out, and found an excuse to answer Xiang Wuji: "The other party has heavy weapons, we are all light weapons in large numbers, the visibility at night is still low, and the probability of winning is very low, I suggest that we join General Jin, and everything is considered in the long run...."
"This...."Xiang Wuhen hesitated, and after a while, Xiang Wuwu made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "General Jin asked me to come to support the defenders of the Golden Triangle, and now that the Golden Triangle is gone, there is no point in going back, listen to brother, retreat first, and wait for General Jin to decide." ”
"Without further ado, let's go. Immediately, Qin Guanxi waved his hand, nodded to Endless, turned his head and shouted behind him in South Vietnamese: "Retreat!"
The convoy reversed direction, the elephants cleared the way, and more than 1,000 people crossed the mountains and returned to the front-line position of the Huojiang River in the mud.
The off-road vehicle was already rotten and couldn't start, so Qin Guanxi took Chen Tianjiao and Qing'er to the endless convertible.
There was no word all night, the fierceness of the battle made everyone feel heavy in their hearts, everyone was silent, only Chen Tianjiao was worried about Qin Guanxi's injury, her eyes glanced at Qin Guanxi's ass from time to time, and she wanted to stop talking, she originally wanted to ask Qin Guanxi's injury, but when she thought about the embarrassing position of Qin Guanxi's injury, Chen Tianjiao was reluctant to speak with shame, she couldn't ask Qin Guanxi's ass in front of so many people, so where would she put her face as a yellow flower girl.
The morning light was slightly bright, and the eastern sky was white, and after running for most of the night, Qin Guanxi and they finally came to the front line of the Huojiang River.
After a nap in the middle of the night, Qin Guanxi rested and regained his spirits, the convoy stopped, the wheels swayed, and Qin Guanxi also opened his eyes faintly.
Looking down halfway up the mountain, General Jin's marching camp is in full view, a row of trenches stretches along the ridgeline, a row of artillery on the other side of the fire river, and scattered ship fragments floating in the fire river, which shows how fierce the previous battle was.
With his back to the mountains, General Kim confronted the South Vietnamese army across the natural barrier of the Fire River, and the South Vietnamese army attacked General Kim fiercely, but due to the obstacles of troops, weapons, and terrain, the South Vietnamese army could not help General Kim.
But this stable situation changed last night, General Kim's large rear base was attacked, the base was occupied, and General Jin is now in the embarrassing situation of being flanked from both sides, and if he is not careful, he may be completely annihilated by the front and rear attacks.
Returning to the Huojiang position, Xiang Wuxian knew that the affairs in the rear could not be delayed, he jumped out of the car and strode towards General Jin's command post.
Qin Guanxi gave Qiao Silong, Li Haotian and Chen Tianjiao a look, and the few of them didn't speak, and slowly walked towards General Jin's camp behind Xiang Hen.
General Kim, who was observing the formation of the South Vietnamese army on the front line, knew what the result was when he saw Xiang Wurong with a heavy face.
Without waiting for Xiang Hentai to speak, General Jin let out a long sigh and threw the telescope on the dirt, and said, "Xiang Gongzi, is it that the Golden Triangle base is not guarded?"
"Hey...."Xiang Wujian also sighed, shook his head and said sadly: "I didn't rush back to the base with the people, but I ran into Brother Qin, Brother Qin said that the enemy took the base quickly, and it was too late for us to rush back, in order to save my strength, I will bring everyone back, and now I want to discuss with you what to do next." ”
"The big rear, I still can't keep it. Jin Jiangjin let out a long sigh with a gloomy face, his face seemed to be more than ten years old for a moment, and there were more wrinkles on his whole face.
General Jin knew that the situation in front of him was too unfavorable to him, and he could barely hold the Huojiang position, but as soon as the rear was gone, he completely lost his security, lacked food and ammunition, and he would definitely lose in two days if he continued to fight.
Originally, with the Golden Triangle base as a support, even if General Jin could not block the attack of the South Vietnamese army, he could lead his men to retreat to the base, relying on the mountains to fight guerrillas, in the Golden Triangle, General Jin is the emperor of the soil, with his familiarity with the Golden Triangle, General Jin can get rid of the South Vietnamese army even if he drags.
But now it doesn't work, the base is gone, and General Jin has no way to retreat.
"Mr. Qin, are you all right? General Jin fought hard, and did not forget to care for Qin Guanxi's body, Qin Guanxi's dusty look showed that it was not easy for him to escape from the base, as the master of the Golden Triangle, even if the situation was urgent, General Jin could not lose the etiquette of the master.
"It's okay, it's okay. Qin Guanxi hurriedly waved his hand, sighed and said: "I'm ashamed to say that when the enemy attacked last night, a few of us failed to stop the enemy and caused the base to fall into the hands of the enemy, and several of us were also panicked like lost dogs, hey...."
Of course, General Jin knew that last night's incident had nothing to do with Qin Guanxi, but when General Jin heard Qin Guanxi mention the loss of the base again, his heart still sank violently, and he was very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Qin, the South Vietnamese army attacked fiercely last night, and I really couldn't get out, and I bother you to tell me who the people who attacked my base were? Is it a South Vietnamese soldier?"
General Kim is a pragmatic man, and his gloom is useless, and the plan for today is to fight back the base and take the base back, and only by taking the base in his hands can General Kim have the capital to deal with the South Vietnamese military.
"Silong, you are good at this, you should quickly analyze and analyze the incident of last night with General Jin. Qin Guan opened his body on the west side and gave up his position to Qiao Silong.
Qiao Silong is an expert in the matter of marching and fighting, and only Qiao Silong can explain last night's incident to General Jin clearly.
"Brother Qiao?" General Jin still remembered Qiao Silong's name, and he was stunned when he saw that Qin Guanxi asked Qiao Silong to introduce him.
Qiao Silong pulled his foot out of the muddy water, moved to General Kim, and said unhurriedly: "The enemy who invaded the Golden Triangle last night was not a person from the South Vietnamese military, but a mercenary. ”
"Mercenaries?!" General Jin, who was stunned, exclaimed, "How can it be a mercenary?"
"I don't know about this, but I'm very sure that the enemy is a mercenary, judging from their way of fighting, armaments and weapons, they must be mercenaries, as for their employers, it is very likely that it is the South Vietnamese military, the South Vietnamese military buys the mercenaries, the South Vietnamese military feints to attract your attention and let you bring troops to the fire river to face the battle, and the mercenaries take advantage of the situation to kill your hinterland, and when the time comes, you will definitely be defeated. ”
The bloody reality hit General Jin's heart, General Jin's face turned white, his brows furrowed high, and he sighed: "The mercenaries are indeed what I didn't expect, things have happened, I want to transfer troops back to recapture the base, I don't know how many mercenaries there are, and what is the combat power?"
Qiao Silong didn't directly tell the mercenaries how strong their combat strength was, he first looked around General Jin's camp, and then touched his chin and pondered: "General Jin, if I'm not mistaken, your military strength should be five thousand." ”
"Well, that's right, little brother has good eyesight, I have 5,000 standing troops and 500 guards under my command, and the guards are estimated to be wiped out in the base now, and now there are 5,000 of my men and horses on the side of the Fire River. General Jin's eyes lit up, and he was very surprised to see Qiao Silong's military strength at a glance.
"Five thousand people...."Qiao Silong thought for a while, and then said: "If all the five thousand people are fought back, it is possible to recapture the base, I see that there are a lot of heavy weapons on your position, and there are a few tanks, if you transport these heavy artillery and tanks back, the chances of recapturing the base can be increased by thirty percent." ”
"Little brother, you haven't told me how many mercenaries there are, and they have thousands, but the target of a few thousand people can't sneak into the base under my nose. ”
General Jin's question is not unreasonable, if there are few mercenary detachments, it is possible to rely on helicopters to run through the mountains to the hinterland of the Golden Triangle without knowing it, but if it is a team of several thousand people, how can General Jin not know about the movement made by a group of people?
"There are not a few thousand mercenaries, only more than a hundred. After Qiao Silong finished speaking, he then introduced the situation he saw last night, such as how the hundred-man mercenaries broke through the defense and the strength of the mercenaries, and explained in detail for ten minutes, Qiao Silong finally summed up his views in one sentence, "If the five thousand generals do not bring heavy weapons and defeat those mercenaries quickly, it will be difficult for the general to win." ”
General Jin was stunned, Qiao Silong's analysis made the leader the way, and started to compare and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the mercenary army from the advantages and disadvantages of his army, and in the end, General Jin himself had no confidence in himself, as if he would definitely lose as long as he fought.
"Then, little brother, you haven't asked for advice yet, do you have any opinions?" General Jin's eyes when he looked at Qiao Silong had changed, and General Jin's eyes were completely silent as before, and his eyes were full of longing.
Qiao Silong won the respect of General Jin with his keen thinking and outstanding military ability.
