District 9

On the Texas border, outside the 555th and 558th regiments of the 956th Division, a brigade from Daya was ready to attack.

Next to the temporary command vehicle, Daya looked at the military map calmly, skillfully marked the distance between his position and the top of Baishan Mountain with his hand, and then asked: "How long have you been firing?"

"Almost an hour."

"How many people are there in the special operations brigade?" Daya asked again.

"A maximum of one thousand people," the staff officer replied.

Da Ya frowned when he heard this, pointed to the map and said: "It will take more than two hours to fight from his mother's place to the top of Baishan Mountain, no matter how fast the speed is. And can the special operations brigade last two hours?"

When everyone heard this, they shook their heads unconsciously.

Da Ya stared at the map for a few seconds, and already made a decision in his mind. He pointed at the map and said: "The main force of the four regiments, kill the 555 and 558 regiments for me. After breaking through, there is no need to clean up the battlefield, just advance forward and enter." White Mountain Top.”

"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded: "I will issue combat orders immediately."

"Deploy the reconnaissance troops, board the reconnaissance plane, fly at low altitude, and collect for me the enemy's attack sequence and garrison status near Baishantou." Daya continued: "Follow me for the remaining two regiments."

The chief of staff frowned and said: "What if we go deep into enemy territory and withdraw? We will become a lone soldier like the special operations brigade."

"A lone soldier?" Daya has held a large number of troops in recent years, and his general aura has become stronger: "I have six regiments, more than 10,000 people, who the hell dares to regard me as a lone soldier?! Don't say that now in Texas It's already a mess. The troops are not organized and the command system is in chaos. Even if he lines up and touches me, I don't think of these people as individuals. Just fight like this. If the troops are trapped, I will die. Sit on the top of Baishan Mountain and let several of their troops go up together, so that Governor Gu can solve the problem at once."

"That's fine." The chief of staff thought about it carefully and felt that what Daya said made sense.

After the tactical deployment was completed, the large forces began to advance.

To be honest, the 555th and 558th regiments, whether in terms of military strength or combat capabilities, are not in the eyes of the Daya troops.

How much combat effectiveness can a regiment have without a higher-level headquarters?

The battle started quickly, and the four regiments penetrated the enemy's first line of defense in less than five minutes. Following closely behind the 555th regiment, there was turmoil within the 558th regiment.

Some generals believe that there is no future for continuing to fight and they should surrender and withdraw from the war zone; other generals feel that they have almost turned against Yi Lianshan and if they do not support Yang Zexun's decision now, they will definitely be liquidated in the future.

The two gangs could not reach a unified opinion on the battlefield and ended up fighting independently.

Ten minutes later, Daya's four regiments, relying on a group of helicopters and armored vehicles to clear the way, forced another two-kilometer advance.

The two regiments collapsed immediately, and a large number of defeated troops began to retreat to the periphery, with only a small number of people still resisting.

At the same time, the reconnaissance helicopter bypassed the outer combat zone and went straight to search near Baishantou.

…

White Mountain.

Half of the more than 700 people in the special operations brigade have been killed or injured. Bodies are everywhere on the mountain, as well as discarded firearms and military supplies.

The two or three defense zones at the front could no longer be defended, and a large number of soldiers began to gather on the mountain.

Meng Xi and Lin Xiao listened to the roar and boom of artillery coming from the outside, and kept encouraging the grassroots soldiers.

If you hold on and hold on for a while longer, reinforcements will come in.

The tragic civil war at Baishantou was definitely the most despicable and humiliating battle in the history of the three regions. Because this battle is meaningless. Death, sacrifice, and serious injuries are just to serve the selfish desires of a small group of people.

Objectively speaking, the one-system plan and the power concentration plan proposed by Gu Tai'an are not a dictatorship, but an attempt to reduce the voice of the warlords.

Warlord power is not the same as parliament, and various balancing systems and restriction systems, because local generals control heavy troops and have a high degree of military say. In this case, once the decrees implemented by the upper levels are inconsistent with the interests of the lower levels, then This means that the so-called unity and system will disintegrate in minutes.

The unification plan is not about forming an alliance, where everyone sits down to discuss plans for the same goal, but about having an absolute leader to lead everyone to rise and prosperity. The existence of warlords must be a stumbling block to this vision, because they will consider their own interests at critical moments.

Checks and balances of power are about finding ways to restrict each other in a centralized power system, rather than relying on a group of warlords to sit down and discuss!

This is why Wang Zhou and the others want to fight back. They can't let go of the power they hold. They even want their position as commander of the army and chief of general staff to be passed down from generation to generation within their own family and faction.

When I reach old age and retire, I will let my son take over. If the son cannot take over, the generals of the family and faction will take charge, so as to ensure that his personal power becomes more prosperous and powerful.

If power is not delegated, class solidification will occur at the upper echelons of the military and government, and corruption will emerge, leading to decline.

Governor Gu never thought about letting Gu Yan take over the governor's baton. He knew that his son couldn't do it, and he knew that no one in the Gu family could do it.

He put all his life's achievements and efforts into the vision of the rise of the Chinese in the future, but what he got in exchange was the shame of today's battle at Baishantou.

…

After an hour and a half of fighting.

There are less than 300 special operations brigade soldiers on the top of Baishan Mountain, and the rest are all wounded and corpses.

Lin Xiao regrouped his troops on the top of the mountain, braved the bombing and strafing from enemy aircraft, and shouted loudly: "We will all die today, including me! But it's still what I said when I came here, my soldiers, when Make the final effort with the integrity of the country and political unity. Everyone concentrates on the ammunition, and we will die together!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!!"

"...!"

The shouts rang out like thunder, and three hundred people launched a counter-attack down the mountain. While Meng Xi voluntarily followed, Lin Xiao persuaded him to take Yi Lianshan and hide in the mountains to delay the arrival of supporting troops.

When 300 people charged, Yang Zexun was still shouting on the intercom channel: "If you can catch them alive, you must catch them alive!!!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of shelling suddenly sounded from the left.

When Daya arrived, he held the phone in the command vehicle and shouted: "It's too late to rescue Baishantou. I will directly attack the side command troops of Wang Zhou Army. If I can't catch the big fish, then I will attack Wang Zhou Army's military headquarters." He wants to move Lin Xiao in order to increase his bargaining chips, so if I kill Wang Zhou, we will be at a draw at most."

Lin Nianlei heard the sound and immediately replied: "I support your tactics and strategies."

"If Wang Zhou is moved, the chaos in the Eighth District will completely break out, and the pressure on you will not be small!"

"My man can die, and I can die too." Lin Nianlei replied stubbornly: "You go ahead and do it. If you happen to be responsible, I will bear the responsibility."

After the words fell, the two ended the call.

Daya immediately urged the troops: "Attack the local garrison area with all your strength. If you see a big fish, I will kill it instantly. Now it's time to fight!"
