District 9

Along the highway.

The two garrison regiments that came out of Fengbei in District 9 have been forced to retreat about two kilometers by Xiang Zehao's self-defense forces.

The reason why these two regiments retreated was not because of their low combat capabilities, but because Xiang Zehao's two regiments were in a sneak attack position from the beginning, catching them off guard. The second is that after the Self-Defense Forces attacked, they first smashed the formations of the two garrison troops, thereby quickly dividing the battlefield, and sent many small troops to support Jiang Xue and others in Wangzhuang. Therefore, these two After the garrison realized that it could not penetrate the entrenched area on the opposite side, it had no choice but to retreat and prepare to concentrate its forces for a second attack when reinforcements arrived.

on the highway.

There were bursts of gunfire, and the ground was filled with gunpowder smoke and debris after the explosion. One of Xiang Zehao's regiment commanders shouted with a walkie-talkie: "Has any of the transferred small units arrived at Wangzhuang?"

"Not yet. There are no cars available for the small group of troops, so they can only rush to Wangzhuang on foot." A battalion commander responded while running in a panic in the battle zone ahead: "It will still take some time."

"Damn it!" The regiment leader was anxious when he heard this: "When will they arrive at Wangzhuang?! Find a way to get a few armed off-road vehicles in the war zone to support Wangzhuang quickly. !”

"It's very difficult. The other side is stuck with us now. As soon as the car moves, the gunfire will sound." The battalion commander thought for a while and said: "Their tactical purpose is already obvious. They know that they can't get past us and get to Wangzhuang, so they have to attack us." We are stuck here, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and then launch a second attack."

The regiment commander clenched his fists: "No, if the people in Wangzhuang are gone, this battle will be in vain. Mobilize all the troops of your battalion, press the road line on the left, press forward, and win for the rear Evacuation time.”

"Yes!" The battalion commander did not refute. After receiving the order, he immediately shouted: "Third battalion, the third battalion is approaching me, prepare to attack!"

Tens of seconds later.

Nearly four hundred soldiers from the third battalion rushed towards the evacuation positions of the two garrison regiments.

"Buzz buzz!"

But at this moment, in the dark sky in the direction of Fengbei, the noise of a helicopter flying at low altitude was faintly heard.

The regiment leader suddenly looked up to the north and saw with numbness that there were at least thirty armed helicopters forming a formation and pounced on this side of the battlefield.

After delaying for too long, the main force of the 117th Division of the Shen Corps arrived.

In a war, any original plan may become worthless after the sound of guns. Because there are military conflicts involving more than 10,000 people, there are too many changes. You cannot think of a plan in the office and then execute it flawlessly when you get to the scene.

The original idea of ​​the Allied Forces was to have Xiang Zehao send out two regiments to sneak attack the garrison coming out of Fengbei, catch them off guard, and then quickly coordinate the evacuation of Jiang Xue and others. The Shen Corps had not yet fully reacted. At that time, they quickly withdrew from the Fengbei battlefield and returned to Changji.

In this way, if the Shen Corps forcefully pursues them, Zheng Kai's Department and Liu Weiren's Department in the World War II Zone can push the troops forward. Even if there is a follow-up battle between the Corps, the Allied Forces will not be afraid of each other.

But two big changes occurred in the meantime.

First, no one expected that Jia He found a small group of desperadoes and blocked the retreat route to the south of Wangzhuang at the critical moment. This made it impossible for Jiang Xue and others to actively escape. He was trapped in Wangzhuang and couldn't get out.

Second, the Self-Defense Forces did not expect that the two garrison regiments from Fengbei could have such combat effectiveness. In their impression, the Shensha Corps has never experienced any major wars, and the quality of its soldiers should be only slightly better than that of the Self-Defense Forces, but not much.

But in fact, once the firefight occurred, the officers on the Self-Defense Forces side discovered that the combat effectiveness of these two units was not bad. Even after being attacked by a sneak attack, they fought extremely tenaciously, and did not care about the damage in the battle. They kept pestering them and refused to let them go. They retreated from the battlefield. There were even small groups of troops specifically blocking their mechanized convoy on both sides, preventing them from moving towards Wangzhuang.

The most important thing is that their regiment-level commanders have very strong ability to adapt to the situation. When they realized that they could not get past the Self-Defense Forces' entrenched area, they immediately gave up their tough tactics. They immediately thought of retreating and concentrating their forces. While dragging, they preserved their own side's secondary offensive capabilities.

Based on the above reasons, the two self-defense regiments were dragged along the highway alive.

Xiang Zehao had realized that his two troops might not be able to withdraw in a short time, so he immediately called Liu Weiren and asked his troops outside Changji to quickly enter the battlefield.

It is necessary to increase the number of troops, otherwise as soon as the large troops of the 117th Division arrive, Jiang Xue and others in Wangzhuang will definitely be captured, and these two regiments will also be eaten.

Liu Weiren knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly ordered his troops to attack, even without carrying heavy attack weapons in order to gain time.

…

On the highway line.

The helicopter formation of the 117th Division arrived, and more than sixty heavy machine guns began to sweep through the air. Half of the third battalion that had just rushed up was instantly disabled.

This is a road! There are no bunkers around, and the helicopter is basically invincible in this kind of terrain.

As the helicopter formation pressed forward, the two garrison regiments coming out of Fengbei sounded the charge horn for the second attack.

A large-scale counterattack began, and the two regiments of the Self-Defense Forces were forced to retreat backwards.

…

Chongdu.

Qin Yu dialed Commander Zhou's phone number and said very firmly: "I think we can't hesitate on this matter. Even if there is a decisive battle now, we have to take over. Otherwise, Wangzhuang's people will be lost, and Xiang Zehao's Two regiments are also going to be eaten... I personally can't accept that."

"How to fight?" Commander Zhou asked: "Wu Tianyin's troops are on the north side of Songjiang. They can't reach the battlefield in a short time."

"I asked all the troops from the Northeastern Theater Command to rush forward and defend Wangzhuang's people and Xiang Zehao's two regiments to the death."

"It's too far." Commander Zhou thought for a moment and said, "But if there is a battle, this is the only way we can do it. Just do it, I will cooperate with you."

"good!"

Qin Yu nodded.

A minute later, the battle-hardened Northeast Theater District received a combat order. They were very far away from the battlefield, but they had to move now, because Qin Yu was rushing to fight a decisive battle, and it was impossible for him to wait until all the troops were gathered before he took action.

Wangzhuang.

The Wu clique's military intelligence officer pulled his neck and shouted at Lao Jiang: "Damn it, we can't hold on any longer. We are facing enemies from both sides. We can't handle it. Lao Jiang, you take that person away first, I will stay behind to cover...!" "

Jiang Xue turned around and looked around. All he saw were wounded soldiers and his men who had died in the battle. He knew that he could not hesitate, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "Gather together, let's rush out again."

On the west side of Fengbei, in a control barracks, an officer whispered to several leaders: "The 117th Division has already gone to the forward battlefield. We have no other chance, so we can only do it now..."

"yes!"

Everyone stood at attention and saluted.
