Chapter 1127: The Gambler
In fact, this is not General Wang's positive idea, it is just an intuition. When General Wang saw the second line of defense, this instinct lingered.
But...... General Wang felt that he could trust this instinct! This intuition has made him rely on many times, otherwise he would not be able to become a general now.
After all, General Wang himself is also a gambler.
Then your eyes will be on the surroundings of the second line of defense.
Where will the strength of a company be put to make it the most uncomfortable for you? General Wang looked at the map and fell into deep thought.
The adjutant quickly took over the details of the mountain range and handed it over to General Wang. And General Wang, who read the text, confirmed his guess.
If you don't look for information about this mountain range, almost everyone will decide that this is a natural danger that cannot be crossed at all. If you look at the maps and materials at a small scale, you can see them clearly......
In the middle of the mountains, there is a winding path!
The path was not actually artificially constructed, but rather the surrounding peaks were layered on top of each other, squeezing each other to create such a path between their respective gaps. The road is intermittent, sometimes you have to climb some of the foothills, and the road is very, very long. In times of "peace", the surrounding villagers also used this road to enter the mountains to cut firewood or hunt to support themselves.
As for wanting to get into town, there's another way. In other words, if this road is not carefully surveyed, or if it is a local resident, outsiders will basically not know about the existence of this road.
In general, it is entirely possible to get a company-sized unit to get guò from here, and the risk is much smaller than you think.
"Herald." General Wang suddenly spoke up.
"Order a platoon-sized unit to go to this mountain range. Find the exit of this path, and then hold on to it. I will no longer allow any of my enemies to pass through here. Whatever equipment is needed, let them carry it, but they must block this road for me! ”
The adjutant next to him bowed: "Yes." ”
With that, the adjutant turned around. Quickly leave the office and go to the herald.
Regardless of what this company-sized force wanted to do, General Wang could no longer allow more enemies to come behind him. This unexpected road must be blocked as quickly as possible.
The path is very narrow, and the last section of the road is relatively straight, and there is no extra cover, only a platoon of soldiers is stationed, you can completely block the road and let the enemy come as many people, there are terrain restrictions, don't think about being able to break through all at once. The mountains on both sides are even more impossible to climb. General Wang, who has read the information, confirmed this, then there is only one way for the enemy to come in.
The strength of a platoon, as long as the firepower is sufficient, even if it can't hold on, it can give itself enough reaction time to support. At this time, the enemy army will not want to continue to use this road.
In order to prevent this force from sneaking up on his "plug", General Wang issued several orders one after another. Several other forces were also linked. Helicopter units, artillery units. They are all starting to pay attention to this position in order to support here as quickly as possible.
This position is near the front line, so many troops have changed their positions and placed them near the second line of defense, so that the helicopters can quickly rise to the air. Artillery is also able to react faster. After all, sitting in this place, part of the front line, is also within the range of attack of artillery units.
General Wang, on the other hand, sat in his office with his head bored, thinking about the enemy's next move.
Even the meal was hastily finished in the office.
It's late afternoon. He had conceived nine different tactics, but in the end they all disintegrated his Chinese forces and were useless.
General Wang knew that he had to do his best. It's been almost four days, and the enemy's next move may be about to appear, and if you don't respond in time, you may have a lot of losses.
General Wang looked at the path that had been blocked by himself and was silent.
There were already scouts who had already walked the road, and it hadn't been long before he found traces of the people in it.
These are not traces that ordinary villagers can make, those footprints, the soles of the shoes have obvious lines, they are hard-soled leather boots, and in some places there are traces of human fire, and even around here, the scouts have found some silk threads.
This silk thread is not long, only more than twenty centimeters, but the scout recognizes it at a moment.
This silk thread is used to make traps, because I have this kind of silk thread on my body!
This has allowed General Wang to completely confirm his intuition.
The nine tactics have all been broken by themselves, where else can they take advantage of?
The surrounding battlefield and defense line, there are three more not far from this position. The first is the frontal first line of defense. There are plenty of troops, good communications, high alertness, and the supply roads in the rear are also very wide, and not a company-level unit can block them at all.
Well! Wait a minute! …… Supply line?!
This word flashed through General Wang's mind.
He felt like he had to get to the point.
Supply line...... This force is not very numerous and cannot fight head-on with itself. If you want to sabotage, then intercepting the supply line should be a good option.
But as previously thought, the road behind the first line of defense is wide, and it is unrealistic for the enemy's forces to intercept it.
Perhaps the troops escorting the supply convoy alone would be enough for them to drink a pot.
Then the direction of the other party's movement must be somewhere else.
In three days, it is impossible to let the other party run too far, and the possibility of exposing their whereabouts is extremely high, so the distance they move will not be far, then it must be in some nearby places. General Wang searched for it again on the map.
Soon, he made a discovery.
It was still a mountainous area, with a winding road in the middle that led through the mountains to the battlefield on the other side.
The battlefield was two hundred kilometers north in the first direction, and to the east was the northern edge of the small desert, and behind it was the mountains that he had found.
The battlefield supply line is just like this, and any troop transportation and resource supply, except for a part of the air transportation, the rest can only go through this line.
If you hold this line......
Then the troops on the front line will not have any follow-up support! As long as the defense line of the troops is crushed, then this position will be an Achilles' heel of their own tactical deployment!
If this position is breached, then the enemy's team can drive straight through this opening, and then all the battlefields and defensive lines that they have deployed at the forefront will become meaningless!
Even the troops who are currently fighting on the front line will not be able to come back!
From the topography point of view, the terrain of this mountain is complex, the roads are winding, easy to defend and difficult to attack! A company-level unit only needs to choose a good position to guard and hold its own troops for three days, which is no problem at all.
If you are lucky, it is possible to hold out for five or six days, after all, although this unit is only at the company level, it must be an elite.
As for the shelling, General Wang thought about it for a while and gave up.
If the enemy is really holding here, then the ultimate goal is definitely to block their own reinforcements. Look at the appearance of this mountain again, if you rashly attack with artillery fire, it is very likely that the mountain wall will be blown down, and at that time, this group of troops will be able to kill almost the same, but once the falling mountain wall blocks the road, it is basically equivalent to letting the other party succeed.
So if you want to break this game, you have to fight a bloody battle in such a position.
General Wang quickly called the adjutant in: "Let the reconnaissance aircraft unit urgently dispatch to the third battlefield of the front line, pretending to go here to reconnoitre, but halfway, carefully reconnoiter this position." Be careful not to let them linger too much in this area, and do reconnaissance while passing by inadvertently. ”
General Wang's finger pointed to the mountain range, and the adjutant glanced at it and immediately said, "I know, go and do it immediately." ”
"Also, how many scouts are left in the rear reserve special forces?"
The adjutant flipped through the information in his hand: "Special forces, there are only six squads on standby in the rear, all of which have scouts. ”
"Send a sniper and scout to scout in the mountains. I suspect that there are some enemy forces hidden in this mountain, so let them go to reconnoitre. There are three things to keep in mind: first, you must not expose yourself, retreat immediately when you encounter danger, and you must not be allowed to startle the snake! Second, look for signs of people walking around the road, and retreat as long as you find something. Third, stay in touch with HQ at any time! ”
"Yes!"
The adjutant walked out of the office, and General Wang sat back in his chair.
This time, it's time to throw the last chip. Win or lose, maybe it depends on this hand.
The sky had begun to darken, the evening sun had just passed, and the fiery red sky had begun to change to a blue hue. And Yang Hao and the others on the forest battlefield encountered their first trouble since they set off from the village.
After a day's walk, the team finally encountered the first enemy who stood in the way.
In fact, neither team expected the appearance of the other, both sides were on the move, the wolf team was to the south, and the enemy team was to the east, but they happened to meet in this position.
So a fight was inevitable.
There are a total of nine people on his side, and there are six people on the opposite side, so he has a numerical advantage in the opening. And the reason why the other party did not retreat was because the battle had just begun and was not clear, and Yang Hao and Han Ye were both in a latent state and did not show up, so the other party did not show a retreat at the beginning.
