At the same time, the opposing side's reconnaissance detachment, at this time, seemed to suddenly become stronger, and followed their two heavy tank combat units to attack together. Moreover, because the other party was very familiar with the situation of the minefield peripherals, the route they traveled definitely avoided the explosion, so although they would take more roads, they did not trigger a mine explosion.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In this situation, General Ballas finally felt hopeless. He knew that now, so to speak, his two mechanized infantry divisions had no hope of retreating. Not to mention, the two heavy tank combat units that the other side should have been exempted from attacking, and behind them, on that mountain ridge, the other side's ground artillery had completely cut off their retreat. Therefore, in this case, General Barras has already made up his mind, in this case, simply fight with the other party to fight to the death, fight to the death of a fish to break the net. It is better to be broken than to be complete. Now, General Barras's eyes were red, which meant that the time had finally come for him to fight hard.

knew that he couldn't beat the other party, but he still went all out, faced the enemy, showed his sword, and fought a desperate battle with the other party. This is also the spirit of the bright sword that General Ballas admires.

So, soon, for a while, the guns roared, and countless shells, like raindrops, fell from the sky and exploded one after another on the middle line of their two mechanized infantry divisions. The screams continued one after another, and they were blown away, and the stumps were broken, and they fell from the sky one after another, spilling on the desert, which looked shocking.

Just when General Ballas was about to fight desperately, suddenly, Liu Qingshan's voice came from the long-range communicator: "General Ballas, now, how is the battle going?" Is it already surrounded by enemy troops? You have to remember to me that it doesn't matter if the entire combat force is wiped out. But you have to come back to me alive, you have to come back to me alive! "

When he heard this, General Barras was almost speechless, and he muttered for a long time, and then he recalled: "Commander-in-chief, we are now all surrounded by the enemy, and we are already in a difficult situation in the minefields carefully laid by the enemy. However, I plan to fight to the death with the enemy army, even if the whole army is annihilated, I must play the majesty of our ironclad God of War interstellar team. "

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan was furious and said sharply: "Fart!" Listen to me, General Ballas, you must find a way to stop the enemy's attack in a trap, and then try to retreat. I'll send a helicopter to pick you up right away, and before the helicopter arrives, you have to control the situation, you have to control the situation...... Hear it, hear it? "

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In this way, after a short time, despite General Barras's great reluctance, in the end, he obeyed Liu Qingshan's orders, and in the face of great crisis, he still insisted on fighting, commanding the remnants of those combat forces, and fighting to the death against the enemy.

Ten minutes later, finally, a transport plane flew over from a distance. Subsequently, General Barras. Riding in that helicopter, they eventually escaped the battlefield and flew back to their military base. And the two mechanized infantry divisions under his command were almost completely wiped out soon after.

After meeting Liu Qingshan, General Ballas looked very depressed. Obviously, this time the pursuit operation ended in failure. And moreover, even,. General Barras himself almost took his own life. In that improvised headquarters, Liu Qingshan looked at General Barras and didn't speak for a long time.

In the end, it was General Barras who took the initiative to speak: "Commander-in-chief, it seems that this is really my miscalculation. I didn't expect that the other side actually laid a minefield. Now, our two mechanized infantry divisions have been completely wiped out by the enemy. This is primarily my responsibility, and I am willing to take any punishment for it. ”

Half a day later, Liu Qingshan said: "General Baras, now, don't say anything more." Actually, for me, as long as you can return safely, it is the biggest victory. You know, in that situation, not only you, but even me, felt very emotional. After all, everyone has hit their own doorstep, so if they can't teach each other a hard lesson, no one can swallow this breath. Okay, now that it's happened, we should treat it rationally. It's not just two mechanized infantry divisions, it doesn't matter. Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood. Next, let's continue to study how to occupy this enemy military base as soon as possible. ”

After hearing this, General Barras thought for a long time, and then said: "Commander-in-chief, to be honest, although this pursuit operation did not eliminate the reconnaissance team of the enemy, it was not without any gains for us. At the very least, we have basically mastered the route to this enemy military base. In addition, while chasing the other side, along the way, I also conducted a comprehensive understanding and detection of the animals that led to the enemy's military base.

"It should be said that in addition to this road, there is another road about a dozen kilometers on the west side. Although the road is relatively remote and the journey is relatively long, relatively speaking, the safety factor is relatively large. Because there is basically no enemy defense on that road, or in other words, some important enemy posts can be basically bypassed, so if we want to attack again in the next step, it is definitely a very good route to advance. ”

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but nodded. Although he said, "General Ballas, I still feel very much about what you just said. Surely, you can recognize that, I think, better than anything else. Now, after this period of intense production and training, the ground combat forces we have, so to speak, have considerable strength. In this case, in three days' time, we will definitely be able to launch another attack. In this way, you will still be in charge of the offensive operation after three days. And General Sibit, who is still in charge of commanding the Air Force combat detachment, provides air support to you. How, are you sure that you are occupying this military base of the other side? ”

After hearing this, General Barras couldn't help but be happy all of a sudden, and at this time, the very depressed look just now was suddenly slapped in the face. Liu Qingshan knows this very well. He knew that this General Barras had always been a fierce general. Especially for frontal combat, charging into battle to storm cities and seize land, that is definitely his forte.

Although this time, after all, it was General Barras himself who disobeyed his orders, and the star pursued, and in the end he was deeply encircled, almost taking his life. As a brother in life and death, Liu Qingshan naturally felt very uneasy. But fortunately, despite this, in the end, General Barras came out of the shadow of defeat. In this regard, Liu Qingshan is indeed very happy. He knows that a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Then, General Barras seemed to remember something, and then said to Liu Qingshan: "Commander-in-chief, I think that our current heavy equipment is more reasonable. On the enemy side, relatively speaking, some heavy weapons are very well equipped. Therefore, I think we should rush Mr. Pitt and Ms. Mei Ting, and in the next scientific research work, we should focus on strengthening the research and development of our heavy firepower. I think that only if we can have a rough estimate of heavy firepower, then, combined with the strategy and tactics of the securities, the final capture of the enemy's military base should be a sure thing. ”

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan said very confidently: "This, General Baras, please rest assured. Because before that, Mr. Pete had just reported to me that the research on heavy armored vehicles was very smooth. It is estimated that after three days, it should be possible to produce several heavy tanks. In this way, in the deployment of infantry combat units in our main area, it is natural to be able to form an offensive advantage of mixed combat forces. In that case, I think we will also be qualified to fight each other. ”

This time, General Ballas also felt very educated. Yes, it is very necessary to lead troops to war, no matter when and under what circumstances, to be cautious and steady. However, although he has been following their commander-in-chief, Liu Qingshan, has conquered two planets one after another, and he always feels that he is very mature and has a lot of practical experience.

In reality, however, this is not the case. For example, in the pursuit battle that just ended, he clearly made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. When he came, the commander-in-chief Liu Qingshan had clearly given him the order to this area, but he ignored it and still lightly advanced against the enemy, and in the end, the two mechanized infantry divisions were completely wiped out by the enemy. Moreover, even I almost didn't come back to a famous song without giving me a famous song. Now, when General Barras thought of this incident, he felt a great sense of shame.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

So, after thinking of this, General Barras also said to Liu Qingshan: "Commander-in-chief, to be honest, this time, I feel very defeated. Especially, in fact, the commander-in-chief had already given me the light to retreat, but I did not listen, but a dozen of them in the lonely city, and continued to pursue and advance. In the end, this led to the tragedy. I am deeply aware of my mistake and, in order to show my sincerity, I ask for a demotion to be made. ”

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan smiled, and then said: "General Baras, there is no one who does not make mistakes. Even I can't get rid of such a pattern. People who are not saints and sages can be without fault, this is the truth. Therefore, once you are clearly aware of the mistakes you have made, then I will not punish you anymore. You are still in charge of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, commanding the entire Army combat unit to conduct operations. ”

When General Barras heard this, he muttered for a long time, and then said: "Commander-in-chief, I think, for the sake of strict military discipline, that you should not be lenient and accommodating to the mistakes I have made. I have no complaints about what should be done with it. Because I know deep down that I have indeed made an unforgivable mistake. The commander-in-chief is requested to deal with it in accordance with military regulations, and not to have any personal feelings. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After Liu Qingshan heard this, he looked at General Barras Tail Flame, then thought about it and continued: "In that case, then, General Barras, I want to ask you what kind of punishment you want to carry out on yourself, I think, if it is reasonable, I should agree." At the very least, it should be seriously considered. ”

When General Barras heard this, he smiled bitterly helplessly, and then continued: "Commander-in-chief, what kind of punishment can I ask for?" Anyway, this is the position of commander-in-chief of the army, I think, and I resolutely refuse to do it. You see, I want to be the captain of an assault detachment, and use my actual actions to wash away my shame and make up for my mistakes, otherwise, I will simply not be able to stay in this army. Please consider it carefully in the Commander-in-Chief. Try to meet this one of my requirements, let me make meritorious contributions, and then re-evaluate me. ”

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan thought about it and seemed to feel that General Barras's request was not too much. And, more importantly, Liu Qingshan confidently understood the character of General Barras. He knew that this guy was a man who wanted to die and suffer to be guilty.

Yes, it is. It was because before that, he made a mistake that he felt unbearable, which led to the annihilation of the two mechanized infantry divisions, so he felt very faceless in the army. If he didn't punish himself, then he couldn't say anything in his own heart.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

So, after thinking of this, Liu Qingshan looked at General Ballas again, nodded slightly, and then said: "General Ballas, since this is the case, then, I will agree to your request. For the time being, you have been appointed as the leader of our assault team. Moreover, in recent times, around our military bases, enemy reconnaissance forces have often appeared. I think that after you become the leader of the assault team, you should first solve this problem and create a good environment for the construction and production of our military base. I guess this shouldn't be a problem for one? ”

After hearing this, General Barras suddenly became happy, gave a very standard military salute to Liu Qingshan, and then said sharply: "Clear out the wisdom and rest assured, in the second Baras, I will definitely do a good job as the captain of this assault team, and this assault team will resolutely eliminate the reconnaissance forces of those enemy troops and ensure the source of our military base." ”

In fact, this so-called assault squad is a special operations unit under Liu Qingshan. Although there are not a lot of personnel, it is definitely not 100% elite combat force. Moreover, the arms are very complete, and most of them are some arms with very good combat performance. Although I don't dare to say that they are all talents who are one in a hundred, but the combat effectiveness of each person is indeed very strong.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Qingshan has always held this assault team and treated it like a baby. This time, since General Ballas proposed to be the leader of this assault team, although this is definitely a relatively close credit, the reason why Liu Qingshan finally nodded naturally has his own considerations.

You must know that this assault detachment not only has a complete range of troops, but is also a very unique combat force in their entire ground combat force. Among them, an elite infantry company, a mortar squad, an engineering squad, and in addition, an assault squad. When it comes to their combat capabilities, they naturally have their own merits. For example, that one operating infantry company, in terms of close combat, in terms of charging into battle, it is absolutely second to none. And that mortar squad, in terms of long-range attacks, is definitely their weapon.

That kind of mortar-artillery shell, which can be fired in a heap of more than a dozen kilometers according to the parabolic flight trajectory, can carry out a very effective long-range strike on the target. In addition, the Engineer Corps, which seems to have a more special role, can build bunkers, machine-gun bunkers, ground guns, and even repair damaged military structures anytime and anywhere. In many cases, in many cases, it can indeed play an extremely important role.

However, in general, when such engineering troops are trained, they need to spend too much money on production, and at the same time, they also need to consume a lot of energy. So, in general, such an engineer cannot be trained too much, at best, that is, two, it is not a few. After all, as a combat unit with quite strong comprehensive capabilities, the role played by the engineering corps is daunting!
