District 9

When a large number of soldiers suffered from vomiting and diarrhea in the third brigade directly under the Zhou Clan Headquarters and the 35th Field Brigade stationed in Hefengzhuang, the Sichuan Army immediately launched a general offensive here.

Four artillery regiments covered the perimeter with firepower and bombarded Hefengzhuang's surrounding positions for nearly twenty minutes before the thirteen regiments from the southwest theater of the Sichuan Army entered the scene like tigers.

At this moment, not only the soldiers in the rear camp felt unwell, but also many soldiers in the forward positions began to disperse. Because many of them came here to change defenses after dinner, and the drinking water carried in the water bottles was also brought from the camp.

Therefore, all the Iron Warriors who had eaten dinner and drank drinking water were diluted and fell down at this moment.

Vomiting and wanting to defecate are beyond the control of human willpower. A large number of soldiers were holding their stomachs and vomiting while looking for a convenient place in the trenches. They couldn't even lift their guns.

On the south side of Hefengzhuang, in a trench on the defensive line of No. 045, the company commander squatted in the trench and shouted: "Fuck, just keep holding on! Vomiting and diarrhea will not kill anyone, but when the enemy attacks, Zid But I don’t have eyes. Keep me alert and hold your gun for a while, and our reinforcements will be here soon.”

The shouts and the sound of artillery interacted with each other, but the soldiers in the trenches were determined to kill the enemy, but they could not resist the spraying up and down. Those who are in good health can still fight back in their defensive position, but those who are in poor health will vomit until their face turns pale, their lips turn purple, and they lie on the ground rolling.

The strength of the Sichuan army is almost double that of Hefengzhuang. They are well prepared. They are defending with paper. How can they fight this battle on horseback?

However, the troops under Chief of Staff Yan are, after all, the main force of the Zhou Clan, and the execution and loyalty of its soldiers and officers are relatively reliable. Even if the front line is wiped out by big profits, deserters who leave their defensive posts privately are very rare.

Half an hour after the Sichuan army attacked, almost all of the Hefengzhuang forward defense area was eaten up, and the army continued to push inland.

This situation was indeed caused by Dali Zi, but the Sichuan army was able to advance so quickly and the regiments were able to fight so smoothly because they were well prepared and had already formulated an offensive strategy before the plan was launched.

…

Inside the headquarters of Hefengzhuang Zhou Clan.

Chief of General Staff Yan took the phone and shouted: "How long until Feng Ji's people come?"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening sound of artillery was heard again very close to the command camp, shaking the headquarters tent with a rustling sound.

Two guards immediately protected Chief of Staff Yan. He bent down and asked again: "Ask Feng Jibu...!"

"Commander-in-Chief, Feng Ji's troops were blocked by Xiang Zehao's troops from the Wu Department on the way to support." A staff officer shouted loudly: "It will be difficult for them to come in in a short time."

Chief of Staff Yan's head was buzzing when he heard this. He had just arrived in Lu District, and these two brigades directly pulled him away. He was really disgraced.

"Fuck, how long will it take for the rear troops to arrive? Can we change defenses?" Chief of Staff Yan asked again unwillingly.

"The opponent is advancing too fast. Now we can only retreat to Hefengzhuang and join up with the rear support troops. If we force troops to station in the defensive area, then our two brigades will be captured when the other side attacks. We will wait for the rear support. After the troops arrive... there is no defense area to garrison, which is equivalent to an offensive war." The chief of staff's thinking was very clear: "... Commander-in-Chief, Hefengzhuang cannot be defended anymore."

When Chief of Staff Yan heard this, he gritted his teeth and immediately issued a decisive order: "Order the frontline troops to hold on for another twenty minutes to give the rear troops time to evacuate. Order the third brigade and the 35th brigade to quickly withdraw from Hefengzhuang. area."

"yes!"

Everyone responded immediately, and the guard company commander also shouted from his own perspective: "Chief of General Staff Yan, you have to withdraw first."

Chief of Staff Yan did not have diarrhea and was in good health, because his drinking water and army meals were provided by a separate cooking class. The water and food ingredients were all flown from Luhuai along with other supplies. He even You can eat live seafood and vegetables on the front lines.

A large number of personnel escorted Chief of General Staff Yan out of the headquarters and headed for the convoy. Because the enemy's attack position was already very close, the risk of flying was greater than taking a car.

Before Chief of Staff Yan was about to board the car, something suddenly occurred to him, so he shouted at the staff officer of the third brigade and asked: "Where is your brigade commander?"

"He went to the first regiment to direct the defense. He just left."

"...!" When Chief of Staff Yan heard this, his face darkened, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "You should withdraw quickly."

"yes!"

After saying that, the convoy left. Chief of Staff Yan immediately took out his phone and dialed the number of the commander of the third brigade: "Hello? Have you gone to the first regiment? Damn it, you are the military commander, how can you go to the front line to command? ’ s?! You retreat immediately, retreat to the rear. You know nothing, the other side knows your relationship with me, it’s too dangerous for you to be there. Hurry, that’s it!”

…

In the defensive zone of Taikang, Lu District.

Li Bokang asked the staff in disbelief: "All the people in the two brigades have been drugged?"

"Yes, Hefengzhuang is gone. The largest fulcrum of our army's front line has collapsed." An officer from the staff said speechlessly: "...I really don't know how the upper management made the decision. Before, you proposed to abandon the Lu District. , no one is willing. Now that the war has begun, Feng Ji Corps does not want to be cannon fodder, and the Sha Corps is angry. It is extremely difficult to balance the forces of all parties. The General Headquarters has sent Chief of Staff Yan to divide the division with you. Command... How can the three armies have two commanders? Forgive me for my incompetence, I can't guess the intentions of Commander-in-Chief Zhou."

There was no emotion in Li Bokang's eyes, and he suddenly asked: "Chief of General Staff Yan, what is the situation now?"

"I don't know this yet, but I can figure it out. If Hefengzhuang cannot be defended, there will be no way to guarantee the safety there. He must have retreated immediately," the staff officer replied.

After a pause, Li Bokang immediately pointed to the other party and replied: "Immediately order the troops near Taikang to provide reinforcements to the front line. Even if Hefengzhuang cannot be defended, we have to pick up the people of these two brigades back. "

"Yes!" The staff officer nodded.

The troops that Li Bokang could command were all given to him by Zhou Xingli, so after he issued the normal orders, he returned to the lounge alone as soon as possible.

After sitting on a chair and thinking briefly for two seconds, Li Bokang dialed a number and whispered: "Gather the people in your hands."

"Yes!" The person from the military intelligence department nodded.

…

Near Hefengzhuang.

Xiaobai's command post has moved forward three times within an hour. He observed the situation on the battlefield at Hefengzhuang and immediately called Qi Lin again: "They must not be able to defend Hefengzhuang. Our army is confident that at least half of the enemy will be wiped out."

"Well, I've finished reading the electronic feedback."

"Commander, the battle at Hefengzhuang went more smoothly than expected." Xiaobai stared at his eyes and said, "Let me see, we might as well go big and disperse early. Damn it, if we penetrate Hefengzhuang, I'll just turn around and go to Taikang." , and then Xun Chengwei's troops borrowed the road from the south to block Li Bokang's retreat...I want it to collapse a little and collapse across the board."

Qi Lin was stunned when he heard the sound.

"Although the idea of ​​​​commander sounds risky, it is very sudden. In addition, Li Bokang and Chief of Staff Yan are at odds. It is well known to everyone that their troops are commanded separately... This pair For us, it's beneficial!" Xiaobai's biggest change in recent years is that he has acquired the thinking characteristics of a commander, and his performance is no longer just fierce and reckless. Otherwise, his ability to become a brigade commander would be over, and Qin Yu would never promote him again.

"Xiang Zehao and I will study it, and you can pave the way forward first."

"yes!"

When the two finished chatting, Dalizi's new first division had fully entered the hinterland of Hefengzhuang, and they almost wiped out the second regiment of the third brigade.

Dalizi, wearing a Sichuan military uniform, stood on an off-road vehicle and shouted, "Where is the person I'm staring at? Have you figured it out?"

"We figured it out. He is retreating with the group."

"Catch him! I want Lao Yan to see how I chopped off all this man's hands and feet and raised him like a dog." Dalizi's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Move quickly!"

…

Frontier.

After Qin Yu and Gu Yan had been plotting for a long time, they had already hatched a plan for the final decisive battle in the Eighth District.
