Chapter 32: Blitzkrieg (15)

"But, find out Kitazawa Ken's nest!" The fat man stood up with his eyebrows, full of murderous intent.

"Stop, fat man!"

"Shallow, no time."

In the communicator, Margaret and her butt were yelling, like a basin of ice water, extinguishing the fierce heart flame of Kitazawa's old fist.

The fat man stopped and sat down in front of the command computer with a look of shame.

Pereira and other officers were confused and looked at the fat man in a daze. Bonnie, Rashid, Stewart and others beside him laughed secretly.

Fatty is born to be a person who cannot afford to lose. When he plots against others, he is very excited when he sees others plotting against him.

It was not that he was so naive that he thought that if he killed Kitazawa, no one would take over the command of the 25th Army. But this guy was born with a temper that only allowed the prefecture officials to set fire and not allowed the people to light the lamps, and he was unreasonable and unreasonable. He would not give up anyone who provoked him to bite him and beat him to death.

If you are jealous of your grudge, you will reach the pinnacle.

"Fatty, what do you think?" Bonnie quietly twisted the fat man and changed the subject.

"Don't you just want to hold me back?" The fat man sneered, rolled up his sleeves, and the flesh on his face shook, "I will accompany this old bastard to play with the samsara!"

On a small hill twenty kilometers north of Yingshan, the first regiment of the Jie Peng 2523 Armored Division, who had just arrived, is digging trenches and building a temporary blocking position.

The tall leader Owens, with a long yellow-brown beard, stood on the hill, holding a portable hyperopia device with a serious expression on his face.

This is a narrow mountain top more than 400 meters high. To the south of the ridge is a steep mountain wall like a knife and axe. The northern slope on the other side of the ridge, dozens of meters away, is relatively soothing, a slope with a drop of only fifty meters, extending nearly six hundred meters, and is full of primitive trees and weeds.

At the end of the slope, the mountain turned upwards and climbed the ridge of another mountain. Although it was invisible, Owens knew that on a hill on the back of the mountain, the 2523 Armored Division Second Regiment was also nervously building a position.

Owens was quite satisfied with the mountain position designated in the combat plan.

To the west is the front of the position, with a high view, a wide view, and you can see several kilometers at a glance. You can almost see the bandits' army's must-pass place.

Taking over the place first was like laying a nail on the east bank of the Tulun River. Even if you don’t take action and just sit here to drink tea and chat, it can make the bandits feel like a stunning look on their backs and be frightened.

The hypervisual instrument rotates, the dense forests and the distant hillsides and valleys are all in sight.

In addition to his regiment, there are about a dozen similar positions from Yingshan to Feisha Valley. They are all strategic locations that overlook the east bank of the Tulun River.

The large hills are stationed in regiment-level troops, and the small hills are stationed in battalions or company-level troops. The positions communicate and cover each other, and can attack and retreat and defend. It is simply a dream to cross here without any obstacles.

Putting down the hyperopia device, Owens had to admire General Kitazawa's scheming and ingenious calculations.

At the age of 40 this year, he has rich combat experience. As early as when he received news that the 2521st Division was attacked and the enemy advanced north along the Tulun River, he knew that the situation in the south had changed.

So far, the 25th Army has not figured out the scale of this sudden force. However, what is certain is that this is a huge force. Once they penetrate the defense zone and detour to the Sunset Mountain, the entire battle situation will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Fortunately, the commander of the 25th Army was General Kitazawa.

Just as officers at all levels below were still arguing about the enemy's intentions, shocked by the rapid defeat of the 2521st Division, and holding their own opinions on the possible changes in the battlefield in the south, Kitazawa's series of orders not only clearly explained everyone's confusion, but also pointed out the direction of the battle.

I have long heard that General Kitazawa has a very deep command skills and his first-hand deduction skills are superb. This time, Owens has seen it.

It took less than twenty minutes from receiving the news to coming up with a combat plan.

Not only did he accurately judge the enemy's intentions, routes and numbers, he also decisively chose the correct strategic policy and defined the first phase of the battle in the four words "entanglement and procrastination".

If the correct strategic policy is the basis for determining the outcome of a battle, then the formulation of specific combat plans and the application of tactics are the bricks and stones of the battle.

General Kitazawa dissected the entire battle with a combat plan per minute to clearly define the context.

When and where to establish a position? What troops are there to protect each other from the front, back, left and right? How should they gather together during attack, who commands them, and which part of the enemy attack? What standard positions should be established during defense, how to cover friendly forces, which route should they take when retreating, how to counterattack with the cooperation of friendly forces, whoever defends, who retreats, who who will detour, who will attack, who will attack, etc., etc., are extremely detailed.

These combat plans, like invisible ropes, connect the hills and positions, troops hidden in the jungle or approaching here, into a huge and strong net.

If the bandits don’t come, they will be trapped in the dead!

Even though the bandit army had strong combat power, even if they swept across the three major war zones north of Frenzo and defeated the 2521st Division within half an hour. However, Owens believed that Kitazawa would let the bandit army commanders understand that individual combat power was not enough to determine the outcome of the war.

An excellent commander can resist enemies several times his own side. A genius commander can win with one tenth or even one percent of his opponent's strength.

Wisdom is the heaviest weight on the scale of war!

"Captain!"

A rushing scream interrupted Owens' thoughts.

Turning back, three scarred spirit cat mechas ran towards him quickly through the busy engineering mechas in the trenches.

Seeing the mud at the bottom of the pit splashing under his feet, Owens frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"We were attacked by the bandit reconnaissance team," the mecha soldier who jumped out of the cabin was sweating profusely, with fear and shame on his face, and lowered his head: "Only the three of us escaped."

"Oh?" Owens' expression narrowed. Instead of asking about the specific battle process, he strode to the electronic sand table and asked, "Where did you encounter the enemy? Where are the enemy's large forces now? Are there any signs of division of troops to attack us?"

"Here," a leading scout trooper pulled out the recorder from the mecha and handed it to the staff next to him, pointing to an area ten kilometers away on the electronic sand table. "The enemy's large troops headed north along the Tulun River and advanced very quickly. The forward has expanded to the right wing, and at least two armored battalions approached my position."

"Two battalions?" Owens was a little confused.

If the bandits seemed to quickly pull out the threat along the way, then they should expand enough troops to the right wing to attack. Even if they don’t fight, they still need enough troops to establish a cordon to guard against the attacks of the surrounding Jie Peng army.

The opponent's commander seemed to have rashly not seen the surrounding area's fierce eyes. With two battalions, he wanted to take down a position garrisoned by a reorganized regiment. One was to be entrusted, and the other was not in line with the efficiency of military use!

Did he really think that General Kitazawa only arranged these troops here, and there was no bigger backup on their way forward?

"boom"

An energy cannon suddenly landed at the forefront of the position, and the violent shock wave spread around with sand and dust, and the splashing soil raised high.

"Enemy attack!"

It came so fast! Owens was shocked, quickly threw away the confusion in his mind, turned over and climbed onto the mecha, raising his arms and shouting.

"Everyone is in place and prepare for the battle!"

"Your Excellency, the bandit vanguard has expanded and launched an attack on our major positions."

In the command of the Jie Peng 25th Group Army, hundreds of screens flashed with light, and the sounds of the staff working were gathered into the endless noise in the hall.

On the central command platform, a group of senior officers were nervously watching more than a dozen staff officers in front of the electronic sandbox and Ken Kitazawa who was commanding the troops in front of the deduction computer.

By this time, they seemed to have wandered outside the command level, looking at the "brain" centered on Kitazawa Ken in front of them, quickly sending orders to the front line troops as a bystander.

On the main screen of Skynet, there was a red and battle area, which was constantly expanding. The major mountain positions distributed in the passage north of Yingshan have already fired with the bandits that rushed towards them. In the rear, the forces of several other divisions under the 25th Army were also mobilizing along the Tulun River.

"Your Excellency Kitazawa is preparing to use the positions along the line to delay the bandits' footsteps, and then use the Flying Sand Valley as a blocking line to block the bandits' way!"

In front of the big screen, several generals whispered.

"Look, as soon as our army seized the positions along the line, the speed of the bandit army slowed down." A lieutenant general pointed to the real-time situation chart and said to his companions beside him: "They have entered the control rhythm of Lord Kitazawa and were forced to divide their troops to expand and guard the passage. Humph, and at the same time control the multi-line battle situation, who is the opponent of Lord Kitazawa?"

The Lieutenant General looked around and was quite contented: "Speed ​​is their life. Once the battle is in a stalemate, the main force is moving slowly. Not to mention the arrangement of Lord Kitazawa in Langshan and Groogun, Feisha Valley is an insurmountable natural barrier!"

"It is the luck of our soldiers to be able to follow His Excellency Kitazawa." A major general looked at Hen Kitazawa on the podium with a respectful look and exclaimed: "The tactical points of each unit are detailed and accurate, and the coordination between each other is perfect. If it weren't for standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it anyway. These combat plans were all from the hands of His Excellency Kitazawa."

"Yes!" The lieutenant general who spoke before pointed to the electronic sand table beside him excitedly, "Look at the location of the 2523rd Division First Regiment."

Seeing that his companions' eyes gathered, he quickly explained: "At the beginning, I didn't understand why the Lord Kitazawa asked the first regiment to give up another mountain with more important strategic position two kilometers away, and seize this place to establish a blocking position. Now after looking at your full deployment, I realized that the entire battle situation was in the mind of Your Excellency Kitazawa, closely linked and connected."

As he said that, the lieutenant general quickly picked up the electronic putter and said while demonstrating: "Look, at present, the two armored battalions of the bandit army have launched an attack on the position where the first regiment is located. Hehe, not to mention whether the position of attacking an armored force with inferior forces is large or large. Just talking about the current locations of these two battalions have actually been surrounded by our army."

The Lieutenant General pushed the cursors of the two battalions of the bandit army and the position where the first regiment was located, and the program quickly and automatically performed the combat calculations. As a result, within half an hour, the two armored battalions of the bandit army could not conquer the position at all. To the east of them, the two Jie Peng armored battalions had completed the detour, forming a front-and-back attack.

When the clamping force was formed, a group of positions was already solid. Then, the Lieutenant General used an electronic push rod to push half of the troops of the group to the location of the second regiment on another hill to the north.

Because the two positions are actually in the same mountain range, the first regiment can climb over the ridge along the mountainside at a much faster speed than the bandit army, and detour from the side of the second regiment position. In this way, the reinforcement battalion will form a horn with the second regiment, directly threatening the bandit army to attack the second regiment's troops.

Similarly, similar tactics also act on other positions. In a war zone with a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, there seems to be an invisible rope between the troops that are rapidly approaching the positions. Once touched, the four-sided mechanism will be triggered immediately.

"The bandit army has taken the bait," Lieutenant General dropped the electronic putter and smiled at the officers, "Next, let's see how General Kitazawa performs this wonderful drama!"

The officers all turned their attention to the command table.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes suddenly solidified. They saw that Kitazawa Ken's forehead, whose face was as big as a soybean, had been covered with sweat beads of soybeans, and his eyes were covered with blood.

On the left side of the console screen in front of the old man, a huge Jie Peng army was running towards Feisha Valley at an extremely fast speed. On the screen to his right, the military cursor of a position was extinguished like a lamp.

Immediately afterwards, another cup.

"Order the Second Battalion and enter the position immediately!"

On the mountain position where gunpowder was filled with smoke and fire, Owens grabbed the communicator and shouted loudly.

On the position more than 200 meters ahead of him, the Jie Peng mecha soldiers were desperately blocking the attack of the bandit army. Mechas of different colors were fighting desperately on the position.

With the entry of hundreds of new forces in the Second Battalion, the bandit mechas that were about to rush to the position finally retreated like a tide. Only the broken position full of bullet craters and wreckage was left, telling the tragic battle.

After wiping a cold sweat, Owens did not dare to delay patrolling the position for a moment.

The temporary position was cut nearly two meters in the previous waves of attacks. Large areas of metal bulletproof walls were exposed from the soil. Several tunnels collapsed completely, and the collapsed soil and rocks accumulated in the middle, and the wreckage of several spirit cat mechas lay across the streets.

The project lineup began to organize its positions as soon as the enemy retreated. Heavy and medium-sized mechas, which were fire support, also evacuated to the rear of the position.

"In five minutes, complete the emergency repair of the position, seize the time to replenish energy and ammunition, and the first battalion will be removed, and the second battalion will take over the defense."

Owens yelled loudly as he walked.

On both sides of the tunnel he passed by, wounded individual mechas leaned against the earth wall in a mess. In the open mecha cockpit, the mecha soldiers participating in the battle were exhausted and their faces turned pale.

Without having time to care about his subordinates, Owens walked to an observation position, took the portable hypervisual instrument handed over by the staff, and looked at the attack positions of the bandits at the foot of the mountain with a gloomy face.

The bandit army's attack positions were very simple, and there was no other logistics support except for a few closely protected transportation mechas. Seven or eight hundred blue mechas were sitting or standing casually, as if they were resting. Twenty or thirty mechas were driving maintenance vehicles and circling around the mecha group.
