Before receiving the order to rest and recuperate from the General Headquarters, the battalions that had just arrived at the front line of the theater had already connected with the sentinels of the Houjin Army.

According to the plan previously formulated, the Huaxia Army first officially abandoned the previous layer-by-layer blocking tactics intended to prevent the Houjin army from gathering. Instead, he adopted a step-by-step, push-and-squeeze tactic.

This kind of squeezing and pushing tactics is to be able to force the Houjin army in the mountains to gather together, so that the Huaxia army can solve the enemy army at one time.

However, after a period of hasty engagement with the enemy, they also found that the situation was not very rosy.

The infantry battalions knew their own affairs, soaked in the heavy rain for a long time, and marched all night in a hurry, and the soldiers had indeed reached the limit, and they were about to run out of oil and lamps.

War is not child's play, and in this state, if you are not careful, you can go wrong.

Therefore, after receiving the order signed by Chen Xin himself, the battalions did not hesitate at all, quickly defeated the enemy's sentinel cavalry, and broke away from contact with the enemy, each found a favorable terrain, and began to rest while guarding against the breakthrough of the Jin army.

There was no longer a need to continue bombing, so the albatross of the [Naval Tactical Research Group] took on the responsibility of airdropping supplies to the front line.

Although the cost of raising has also risen several times, the weight-bearing capacity of these little ones far exceeds that of eagle falcons, and 24 albatross can airdrop a full 1,200 catties of materials at one time.

This figure far exceeds the weight of the materials that the General Staff Department can deliver at one time after gathering all the eagles and falcons in the country.

Moreover, the albatross has a weight carrying capacity of 50 pounds per soldier, which allows them to transport grenades, infantry shells, and even grenade launchers, rifles and other materials to the front line.

This kind of airdrop capability is simply a qualitative change, and if you look at it from the perspective of Chen Xin's later generations, the gap between the two is basically equivalent to the gap between tactical transport aircraft and strategic transport aircraft.

It is because of the addition of the albatross to the airdrop that the supply and rest speed of the front line has been doubled, and a lot of precious time has been solved for the kingdom.

As a result, the encirclement and annihilation plan was launched ahead of schedule.

······

In order to achieve the campaign goal of encircling and annihilating more than 30,000 people of the First Route Army of the Later Jin Korean Front Army that entered the Hufeiling Mountains.

Beginning in early September, the battalions of the Chinese Army, which had reached their designated combat positions and had undergone a certain degree of rest and resupply, began operations again under the coordination of the General Headquarters.

On the sand table, in the Hufeiling Mountain Range, the red flag representing the army of the Chinese Kingdom is constantly advancing, slowly compressing the activity space of the Houjin Army.

Occasionally, when the Houjin Army launched a counterattack and wanted to break through, the Huaxia Army, which was originally on the offensive, would immediately stop and turn into a defensive state on the spot, waiting for the other surrounding battalions to continue to compress.

With the passage of time, the space for the activities of the Houjin Army became smaller.

After several fruitless assaults on the northern, western, and eastern passages, leaving behind thousands of corpses, the Houjin Tartars finally faced up to the reality that they could not open the way from the guns of 10 Chinese infantry battalions and nearly 8,000 Chinese soldiers.

As a result, the Houjin army, which had suffered a setback and was scattered in the mountains, finally began an emergency assembly again.

They followed the road left by the Chinese Army and began their trek.

Of course, it is impossible for the Chinese Army to allow the enemy to assemble so smoothly and safely.

The scouts, combat engineers, and other special units of the infantry battalions had long since successfully lurked in front of the enemy, and were constantly harassing the enemy on the retreating road.

From time to time, a few grenades and grenades thrown from the roadside woods, a few accurate bullets fired from the mountains in the distance, and the [broadsword] placed in a large square in the middle of the flat road, the torture of the Houjin army was simply to the extreme.

Many Houjin troops couldn't stand this kind of piecemeal guerrilla, so they tried to escape halfway and found the Huaxia Army to surrender.

There was even another time, several battalions took advantage of the disconnect between the march of the Houjin army and seized the opportunity to carry out a surprise attack, directly crushing the Houjin army of about 3,000 people along the way.

In this way, tortured all the way, worried all the way, the Houjin army finally completed the assembly on the third day of the ninth lunar month about 5 miles north of Tashan, and met together.

And the Huaxia Army, on the same day, completely completed the encirclement.

The decisive battle between the two sides was about to break out, and the final arrangements and calculations were also carried out in the general headquarters.

Chen Xin looked at the officers gathered in front of him to report, and asked solemnly, "To what extent has the number of people counted in the Houjin Army go?" ”

"The report has basically been completed, and we can only be accurate to the thousands of digits for the Houjin Army, and no matter how accurate the number is, it will not be possible to get it in the short term."

Chen Xin waved his hand, "Thousands of digits are enough, and now the war is about to start, so there is no need to be so detailed." ”

After a slight pause, Chen Xin said confidently and domineeringly, "As for the single-digit statistics, you can wait until after the war to go to the prisoner camp to count."

Now let's talk about the statistics you've done. ”

The officer on the opposite side also smiled when he heard Chen Xin's words: "Yes, after nearly a month of fighting, the remaining personnel of the Houjin Army in the Hufeiling Mountain Range are about 26,000 people, and the fluctuation will not exceed 1,000 people." ”

Chen Xin calculated in his heart, and quickly found something wrong, "Hey, how can there be so many?"

Didn't we defeat the enemy's 1,000-strong forward battalion, a 3,000-strong logistics baggage battalion, and two combat battalions of about 3,000 men? Coupled with three days of continuous bombardment, how could there be so many people left in the enemy army? ”

Saying that, a trace of bad premonition appeared in Chen Xin's heart: "Could it be that someone on our front line exaggerated or even lied about the results of the battle?" ”

Immediately, Chen Xin once again clearly denied this speculation.

Although he himself was in the later generations, he was just a middle-aged person, a very emotional and emotional ordinary person. Moreover, after coming to this era, he also experienced betrayal after betrayal.

However, as a highly educated and mature person, in the process of developing his own power to change this era, he is also constantly learning lessons and correcting his own shortcomings.

Now, while delegating power to the greatest extent to the various departments and organizations under his command, he has also effectively restrained and guarded against it.

Relying on the absolute allegiance of the powerful golden finger to him, as well as the gradual improvement of the political commissar system, the different intelligence agencies under the National Security Council, the patriotic education system, the hidden and subtle tax policy, and the enlightened upward channel, he is now certain that he will be able to fully control the country.

Especially in the army, the tiger has accounted for one-twentieth of the total number of the army, and they are also the first and second leaders of key departments, or the backbone of technology.

Therefore, if there really is a situation of lying and concealing military information, it is absolutely impossible for a little rumor to come back.

If someone can really achieve the "feat" of "lying about the military situation of the General Headquarters" under the constraints of so many personnel supervision, surveillance, and various strict systems, then Chen Xin really needs to think carefully about the reliability of the golden finger and conduct a thorough investigation of all biochemical creatures.
