Chapter 28 (1/2)
”The third group army was attacked by the Universiade army at night!” After receiving the message from the third group army of Xiqi army in duomu River, 100 commanders of Xiqi didn't believe it.
How could the 180000 elite of the third group army suffer such an accident overnight. One group commander was killed, two commanders died, 180000 people were killed, 30000 people were killed, and 150000 troops were left. What's more, the two divisions of the red flame army that they besieged in the Central Committee were not destroyed by them, but the other side even gave them a counter encirclement. This is really a great trick to slide the world!
”Commander in chief, we have just heard from our scouts that the Universiade troops have dispatched more than 100000 troops from their front lines overnight to support the Universiade troops in duomu river. It is expected that these troops will arrive at noon. Once they arrive, I am afraid that the third group army will be destroyed.” Said a counsellor nearby.
”Is Zhang Longyun a fool? He is in a tight situation on the whole line and dares to deploy more than 100000 troops. ” Commander Xiqi said, looking at the sand table in front of him, he thought that he would take the opportunity to attack the front line positions of the Universiade army immediately, and see if he could lose the eastern corner and reap the benefits.
”Commander in chief, according to our spies, the front-line forces of the Universiade army appear to be tight. In fact, each army has reserved some troops. Now more than 100000 troops have been transferred from the front line of the Universiade army, but their defense lines are still very stable. If we attack, I'm afraid we can't achieve any results.” Said the counselor.
”What, the front line troops of the Universiade have reserved some troops. Why do you still tell me so far?” Commander Xiqi roared.
”This is also the intelligence that our spies have just discovered. If the Universiade army does not deploy troops, our spies will not be able to discover this information.” The counselor was helpless.
”Zhang Longyun is really cunning.” Commander Xiqi gnawed his teeth. He always thought that the Universiade army was in short supply, but the actual situation was not so.
”Commander in chief, the third group army of duomuhe is under siege. Shall we send troops to meet them?” Counsellor road.
”Help?” Commander Xiqi stared and pointed to the north of duomu river. ”According to intelligence, there is only one division of the red flame army guarding here. They only have 10000 people. Do you mean 150000 people of the third group army can't rush through the place where 10000 people are stationed?”
”Commander, I don't mean that. The red flame army, with 10000 people in the north, must not be able to resist the charge of our third group army, but we can't forget that the 10000 red flame army will certainly try every means to hold down our third group army and win time for their more than 100000 reinforcements. Commander in chief, you should know that their reinforcements have been on their way for a whole night and can arrive before noon. If the red flame army dragged the third group army to noon, the consequences would be... ”
”Well, I'd like to see if the ten thousand red flame soldiers have this ability.” Commander Xiqi felt that there was no need to send troops to take over. 150000 people attacked the defense line of 10000 people, and they could break through in half an hour.
”Commander in chief, I think we should prepare for the worst. Even if the third group army can break through the blockade of the red flame army ahead of time, they have lost the Group Commander, suffered defeat, and their morale is low. Once the reinforcements of Universiade come to pursue them...” The counselor paused and said, ”the army nearest to the third group army is the seventh group army. They are one day away from the position of the third group army. The Dayun pursuers have one day's pursuit. I'm afraid the third army can't get rid of it.”
”Well, what you said is reasonable. After all, the third army has lost its morale. If it is chased by the enemy, the consequences will be bad.” Commander Xiqi pondered for a moment and said, ”send my order immediately and let the seventh group army send troops to support and take over the third group army!”
”Report to commander-in-chief, this is an urgent report just sent by the red flame army!” A scout rushed into Zhang Longyun's camp.
Zhang Longyun took a look, his face was first happy, then he was stunned.
The intelligence came from Yang Lingshan. Two besieged divisions of their red flame army have been rescued. Now they have carried out anti encirclement on the third group army of Xiqi army. However, the north of duomu river is bound to become the breakthrough direction of the Xiqi third group army. The pressure of the fourth division of the red flame army is too great, I'm afraid it can't hold down the Xiqi third group army. Yang Lingshan urges Zhang Longyun, hoping to speed up the reinforcements.
Another intelligence is that Xiqi seventh group army has sent reinforcements to the third group army. They are only one day away, which means that time is urgent.
For one thing, how long the fourth division of the red flame army can delay is a situation that everyone can see at a glance. They can't drag on for long at all. If the Xiqi third group army is allowed to escape, the Dayun reinforcements will have to pursue and kill, and their time is only one day. After a day's pursuit, the results won't be too fruitful.
Second, even if the fourth division of the red flame army can be dragged to the aid troops, the third group army of Xiqi still has 150000 troops. If the Universiade army wants to eat them completely, it will take at least two or three days. This means that once the reinforcements of the Xiqi seventh group army arrive, the Universiade army will have to withdraw its troops, which will make it impossible to completely annihilate the Xiqi third group army.In a word, as long as the Universiade reinforcements can arrive in advance, even half an hour ahead of schedule, it will have a great impact on the results of the later battles.
”Come on, send my order immediately. All the support soldiers should speed up. Which support soldiers arrive at duomuhe fastest? I will reward them with three times the salary of the whole army in that month. Which reinforcements arrive at last will be deducted from the salary of that month! ” Zhang Longyun quickly called the messenger and immediately sent out the urgent report.
For the urgency of time, Zhou Han can naturally think of it. However, he had only 10000 men in his hand, and could not hold the charge of the 100000 strong group of Xiqi third group army.
After dawn, Zhou Han's physical strength recovered to 7788 and called the three regiments in front of him.
”We have only 10000 men, and our troops are too small. Even if we are all killed, we will not be able to stop the attack of the heavy enemy group. But since we are nailed here, we must try our best to hold the enemy down. ” Zhou Han was stunned and ordered to go down immediately and prepare to attack
