Chapter 43 The enemy's strategy
043 After Hu Hao and the others got up, they found that the coalition forces had really not attacked last night. At the same time, Li Tianyuan also told Hu Hao that there are still 50,000 or 60,000 to retreat, and it is estimated that they will not retreat until noon.
"It's so slow to retreat. In addition, there are only more than 200,000 wounded people. Haven't retreated yet in one night?" Hu Hao said dissatisfied.
"Where are so many supplies?" Li Tianyuan said immediately.
"It's not a waste of money to ask for supplies. Those weapons and ammunition, the person who left finally is blown up. His life is almost gone. He is still thinking about those supplies. He is really talented!" Hu Hao heard it and sneered.
Then she sat on a stone and was about to smoke a cigarette. Li Jinsong came over and lit it for Hu Hao.
"Brother Hao, do you think the coalition forces will come back to attack during the day?" Li Jinsong sat next to Hu Hao and asked.
"I don't know, I should, but I may not attack hard. They didn't come last night. If they came to attack during the day today, it would be a bit late.
Unless the coalition forces didn't know that we were retreating last night, we could launch a hasty attack during the day. If they had known last night, they might not have fought during the day today!" Hu Hao sat there and started talking.
The soldiers nearby were all staring at this side. The city is very quiet now, with no shell explosions and no gunfire. It is very quiet, so the soldiers can hear clearly what Hu Hao said.
"That's good, that's good, don't come, really don't come, if they come, we will be in trouble." Li Jinsong heard it, looked at the sky and said, as if he was praying.
"Hu Hao, if we can go out successfully, how about you go to our military headquarters as a staff officer? I promise that within 2 years, I will get you promoted to lieutenant colonel, and within 5 years, to be promoted to colonel!" Li Tianyuan also came to Hu Hao and looked at Hu Hao with a smile and asked.
"If I don't go, I don't plan to be promoted. I'm just planning to make some money now, and then when I can retire, I will be discharged!" Hu Hao shook his head and said.
"Dad, don't say it. I don't know how many times I have said it. If you are useful, do you still need to say it?" Li Jinsong looked at his father and said contemptuously.
"Haha, yes, that, I hope we can escape today!" Li Tianyuan heard Li Jinsong say this, laughed, and then sighed,
On the side of the coalition, the soldiers of the coalition also rose up, and the barracks were also noisy.
"Commander, aren't we still attacking?" At this moment, in a tent in the middle of the military camp, several lieutenant generals stood in front of one of the generals and looked at the general and asked.
The general is the commander of the coalition forces attacking Langcheng, General Winkton, General in Mara, and the few lieutenant generals in front of him, one of his chief of staff, Lieutenant General of Kabo, and three other lieutenant generals, one of them is the commander of Mala, one of the lieutenant general of Kabo, and the other is the commander of Leling.
There are three troops here on their side, and two independent armored divisions here, belonging to the Mara Kingdom and the Qab Kingdom respectively.
"If you don't attack, the enemy is retreating. Now we have three troops on this side. Now they have occupied the favorable terrain. You also know that two division commanders on our side have been captured.
Although most of the generals of the Dongling Kingdom cannot fight, they still can fight. Therefore, when we attack at this time, there will definitely be relatively large casualties. Let them retreat!" Commander Winkton shook his head and said.
"But if they leave, we will suffer a great loss. The cooked ducks have already flew. If we continue to siege, we will be able to wipe out them all. By then, there will be no enough troops in the nearby seven provinces, and these places will be ours!" A commander said.
"That's right, but they retreated, and those seven provinces are ours. They are now retreating to the back and giving up these provinces. You also know that the food in our countries is already tight, and we need to speed up the occupation of those places and collect food so that we can ensure that our subsequent battles continue. Our coalition forces do not have enough food to guarantee the logistics of our touch,
Therefore, now we need to stop and expand our results, rather than to fight with the Dongling Kingdom to consume!" Winkton said.
"Commander, if we continue to attack in Langcheng, I think the Dongling Kingdom will not be able to stand for a week." Another lieutenant general said.
"Then how much are you going to sacrifice?" Winkton asked.
"This sacrifice is worth it!" the lieutenant general retorted.
"Not worth it!" Winkton immediately stared at them.
"Why is it not worth it? Is it worth it to let them run away? They are already remnants, and we are still afraid of them?" The lieutenant general refused to give in.
"Hmph, run? Where can they run? You didn't notice. Today our Air Force dispatched a large number of planes. Why? We asked them to run, but can they run out?
Don’t forget what is the terrain of Dongling Kingdom? Most of the area in the middle is plains, and there are only some mountains near the north. With such a terrain, where can they run to?
They are the retreat troops, we are the pursuit troops, they run with so many things, and a large number of people follow them. You say, how fast they can be, and we just stop in front and chase behind to ensure that they don’t enter the big city. You say, can they run?
At that time, our Air Force will not have to act, and the artillery soldiers on our side will be able to eat them all!" Winkton heard it, laughed, and said disdainfully.
"Commander, what do you mean is that we have troops coming to them to intercept?" The lieutenant general heard this and immediately asked.
"Well, now our air force is fighting the air force of Dongling Kingdom. We have sent a large number of planes. The purpose is tonight, we will airborne the troops of two divisions to the front of the retreating troops of Dongling Kingdom. As long as we stop them for a day, the troops behind us will kill them.
You said, these troops are still our opponents in the wild? Killing like this is no better than killing in the city, and it is a real total annihilation. So, today, let's rest!" Winkton looked at them with a little smugness and said.
"Oh, so that's how it is!" The commanders were very happy to hear it.
"Well, let them run away, don't force them now, so that they will run away with the supplies instead of blowing up. As long as they run with the supplies, they will run slower, and we will be able to seize more things,
What we want is things, whether it is food, weapons and ammunition, we all want. You must know that sending those materials from our own country is very expensive, and when we come here to fight, we originally need a lot of food and oil. Now, when we fight Dongling Kingdom, we must reduce our consumption as much as possible!" Winkton said.
"Haha, Dongling Kingdom is just a warehouse. We use their supplies to attack them. You guys say, is it a sarcasm to the troops of Dongling Kingdom?" The chief of staff heard it, looked at the commanders with a smile and asked. When the commanders heard it, they laughed proudly.
"Okay, get ready. After we successfully airborne tonight, we will start to act!" Winkton said with a smile.
"Yes!" the commanders immediately stood attentively and said.
Soon, it was noon. Hu Hao was now sure that his judgment was that the enemy would not come during the day. They knew that the troops of Dongling Kingdom were retreating, so they did not attack here, and they would talk about it when the troops retreated.
"Brother Hao, Brother Hao, what are you thinking? Come and eat something. I just received the news that it may take more than an hour for them to go, and now there are still a lot of supplies to send away." Li Jinsong came over with a lunch box and said to Hu Hao.
"Mad, they are looking for death, they are really looking for death!" Hu Hao shook his head and said when he heard this.
"Brother Hao, you're looking for death. Do you think the commander and those retreating troops?" Li Jinsong immediately asked when he heard this.
"Well, the enemy did not attack during the day, which means that they have the next battle plan. They are not worried about our retreat at all!" Hu Hao took the lunch box, nodded and said.
"That's not necessarily true. Is the coalition going to occupy other provinces of our country? They may not want to fight anymore. They must hope to grab supplies in poor countries!" Li Jinsong looked at Hu Hao and expressed his opinion.
"Look at the sky!" Hu Hao said, chewing the rice in his mouth, pointing at the sky with a spoon.
"In the sky? Isn't it still an air battle in the sky? It's been many days since I fought!" Li Jinsong looked up at the sky and said.
"Today, the coalition forces have the most aircraft, and our planes must have suffered a loss. Why is the coalition forces using so many air forces to attack our air force today? It's because,
Tonight, their air force may have operations. Anyway, it will consume our Dongling Kingdom planes sooner or later. It is better to fight early than to fight late, so that they can kill our retreating troops. Tonight, the enemy will definitely dispatch paratroopers!" Hu Hao said with great certainty. He has now begun to make a judgment based on some of the situations here.
"No, right? I said, Brother Hao, don't guess it, and don't say it out loud. If it doesn't happen, if it spreads out, you will become everyone's laughing stock!" Li Jinsong said to Hu Hao in a low voice.
"Oh!" Hu Hao shook his head,
He just didn't want to see so many young people who wanted to go home and sacrificed themselves on the battlefield like this. Such sacrifice was meaningless because this was a command error and would not cause any trouble to the enemy. On the contrary, it also sent a lot of credit to the enemy.
