It should be said that the strategic intentions of the four hidden ranger regiments so far have been achieved. Although they have not yet captured a suitable fighter plane to carry out a thunderous strike, as long as the Luobei people do not discover this situation, there is still hope for everything, but As time goes by, the possibility of this situation being discovered will become greater and greater, and my hope of trying to settle the matter in a battle will become increasingly slim. If I can no longer find a fighter, I may really become the whole The sinner of Western Xinjiang, Helianbo rubbed his red eyes and stretched.
But some things cannot be rushed. Haste makes waste. Everyone knows this idiom, but for me now, it seems that it cannot be used as an explanation for the inaction of the 200,000 troops for so long. Even myself He couldn't be convinced.
Hu Yanqiu was also anxious. The Luo and Pei cavalry were wreaking havoc across the entire Western Region. The Army Division, which was unable to compete with the opponent in terms of mobility, did not have many other methods other than passively using the terrain to set up blockades and block attacks. The Pi Duan can still have a certain effect in the early stage, but as the war progresses, the disadvantages of these methods become more and more obvious, and the Luobei cavalry can often rely on their super assault ability to concentrate superior forces to attack, which also forces Our own troops who are out looking for fighter planes have to hold on tighter, which also directly affects the efficiency and frequency of military mobilization. Seeing the flames of war burning in the land of his hometown, as the leader of a large army with more than 100,000 people, he could only watch all this happening and was helpless, and the four ranger regiments did not dare to enter the battlefield now. This kind of anxiety The suffocating smell of someone vomiting blood can drive you crazy.
Seeing the gloomy expressions on the faces of his colleagues, Helianbo was also full of apologies. Huyanqiu once asked him informally whether he could send the Rangers into the battlefield in advance, but Helianbo refused. Afterwards, Huyanqiu I also admit that I am a little emotional at this time. As a soldier, the first thing I need is to win the war, and all other personal emotions and private interests should be put behind. But as the commander-in-chief of the entire Western Region Theater, Helianbo still felt as if he owed a debt of gratitude to Pao Ze, who had always given him full support. But business is business. Helianbo would never link official business with personal friendship, which meant the loss of reason and judgment that a soldier should have.
Several delicate intelligence secretaries walked into the room quietly. Perhaps they sensed that the two officials were in a bad mood. They arranged a large stack of compiled information according to the categories of urgent and important registrations, and then left. If it was the past, Helianbo was going to make fun of the female secretaries in a dazzling way to liven up the atmosphere in the headquarters, but now it seems that he is no longer in the mood.
It was Hu Yanqiu who first noticed that the hesitant look on the face of the last intelligence secretary was a little different from usual. A gentle smile appeared on his face and he teased the other person casually as usual: "Pan Jing, do you have anything to report to Lord Helian? Am I doing something to hinder you here?"
Hu Yanqiu's words broke the somewhat dull atmosphere in the command post. He Lianbo did not expect that this colleague would still have the heart to make these jokes at this time. It seemed that he had underestimated his mind and the city, "Hu Yan, you You really can keep your composure, my old Helian is even thinking about crying now. If this battle really drags on like this, I'm afraid we will both have to go to a military court as soon as the battle is over."
"Helian, what are you talking about? We have tried our best. Could it be that Mi Feng and Mo Lun can really accuse people at will regardless of the facts and not judge heroes based on success or failure? Isn't this an old proverb of you Tang people? Can it be concluded based on the results alone that we have failed to fulfill our responsibilities?" Although Hu Yanqiu's words were plain, his tone was quite serious.
"Hey, Hu Yan, that's what I said, but it is the power of the Military Justice Department to determine whether you have committed malfeasance on the battlefield, and the conviction and punishment is the unique secret skill of the court. Don't look at that kid Mi Feng who is usually like a boring gourd. , when it comes to really tossing you, there are all kinds of tricks. But we just want to have a clear conscience and don't want to bear that name. Forget it, let's not talk about these boring things. He Lianbo and Hu Yanqiu have not fallen. In such a field, there is no guarantee that we will be able to make dumplings for the Luobi people in one fell swoop tomorrow." Helianbo was a little uninterested. The two of them had been thinking very hard about this war, but everyone knew that war was so cruel. , it only looks at the results without the process. No matter how perfect the process is, the result is failure. The idea of being glorious despite failure is purely an excuse to comfort the loser. Failure is failure, and there is no need for any cover-ups or excuses.
Hu Yanqiu's heart also sank. He let out a deep breath, stopped answering the other party's words, and returned his gaze to the face of the beautiful secretary who was blushing and a little embarrassed. Some of the information coming back from Sun Territory is a bit suspicious, I just want to remind you two adults to pay attention to it, there is nothing else."
"Oh?" They became energetic almost at the same time, just like a mastiff smelling a pungent smell. Both Helianbo and Hu Yanqiu's hair seemed to stand up suddenly, and their eyes were locked on the female secretary's face at the same time.
"Well, a somewhat suspicious situation is that the two Luobei attack clusters have arrived at the junction of Kuqa and Wusun. According to the intelligence obtained two days ago, the two attack clusters are only sixty miles apart, but as of now So far, we have not received any reports of attacks in that area; the second is that we have received two contradictory intelligence at the same time. One intelligence stated that the enemy's main attack group was found to be moving eastward and was discovered east of Loulan. There were traces of them, and another piece of information stated that there were signs of a large number of Luobi cavalry activities in the west of Bega, and the number should be more than 30,000." Seeing the eyes of the two coaches falling directly on her face, the woman Instead, the secretary calmed down and explained carefully.
He Lianbo and Hu Yanqiu's eyebrows twitched almost at the same time. The two attack groups were less than sixty miles apart, which meant that the enemy would definitely make big moves in this area. However, two days had passed and there was still no encounter. This is a bit strange, but this abnormal phenomenon makes it more suspicious and often indicates that there is big trouble behind. As for the enemy's main attack group being discovered at the same time in the east of Loulan and the west of Bejia, this is even more strange. The Luobei southern front army is in a 2224 configuration, with three small attack groups plus one main attack group. Intelligence has confirmed that there are two The attack group appeared at the border between Wusun and Kuqa. How could two more main attack groups with more than 30,000 people emerge? This kind of conflicting intelligence only indicates that something is wrong. If it wasn't for the intelligence department's incompetent work and mistakes, it was because the enemy's deliberate disguise successfully deceived the intelligence personnel's eyes.
Without any unnecessary words, the intelligence secretaries who had already sensed something was wrong and the intelligence staff who had been standing nearby all entered working mode early. With the wave of the coach's hand, the huge floor plan of the Western Region was revealed to everyone as the curtain opened. In front of him, "Please ask the deputy commander, chief of staff and logistics director to come here immediately!"
Helianbo and Huyanqiu's eyes were fixed on the somewhat dazzling red letter between Kuqa and Wusun. Anyanji, yes, it is it. Only Anyanji can make the Luobei people focus on two people at once. an attack group. After all, there is not only the triangular core zone between Wusun Kuqa and Shuangdui Mansion, but also an entire division of troops stationed there. It is not easy for a single attack group to easily eat this piece of fat. But Anyanji is already located in the southwest of Kuqa. From a geographical point of view, although the Luobi cavalry has strong mobility, there are three divisions garrisoned in Wusun and one division garrisoned in Kuqa. More importantly, What's more, the light cavalry reserve group that gathers various divisions and cavalry is also watching Wusun. If the Luobei people really want to attack Anyanji, they should use their mobility advantage to launch a surprise attack before their own side can react. But by delaying it like this, doesn't it show that they are on guard
Seeing the intelligence secretary placing the small green flag indicating uncertainty on the map, several small green flags appeared almost all at once in the northern part of the Western Region. He Lianbo and Hu Yanqiu took their eyes away from the map and looked at each other. Both of them saw the caution and solemnity in each other's eyes. After a long while, Hu Yanqiu squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Except for the three enemy attack groups, the Luo Bei attack group that has been operating around Gaochang is now Where is it?"
"Sir Huyan, the fourth attack group of Luo Bei, which has been operating in Gaochang and Loulan, lost its trace after attacking Shamu Lake in the northwest of Gaochang a week ago. Because of the desert and Gobi in that area, our scout team has not been able to do so. Accurate intelligence was obtained, and the local herdsmen grazing around the Gobi Desert were either killed by their families or scared away. An effective intelligence network has not been established. However, we still obtained some scattered information, proving that there is still a Luobi Cavalry Operating in the southeast of Gaochang near the Qingyang border, this should be the fourth attack group." Perhaps because the intelligence information in hand was not complete enough, the intelligence secretary's speaking speed was much slower and his tone changed when making this introduction and analysis. Be cautious.
"Hmph! It should be the fourth attack group? Pan Jing. When did you learn the tone of the staff? What does it mean? If you can be sure, then there must be conclusive evidence. If you are not sure, don't use this Speaking in such a tone, what is the responsibility of an intelligence secretary? To faithfully feedback and analyze intelligence without any guesses or conjectures!" Helianbo snorted heavily and said with a dark face.
Perhaps she had never seen such an attitude from He Lianbo. The pale-faced female secretary’s lips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in Ken’s eyes. She didn’t know why the always amiable regimental commander was acting like this. The time was so ruthless, and besides, he didn't say anything wrong. At most, it was just an extra inferential word.
"Okay, Pan Jing, you go down first." After the secretary disappeared behind the door, Hu Yanqiu smiled and teased Helianbo: "What's the matter? They are so angry. These intelligence secretaries are fulfilling their duties. It would be too unkind for you to work with us day and night and not give others a good look."
Helianbo took a deep breath, his eyes still fell on the map filled with small flags of various colors and sighed with emotion; "Huyan, it seems that we are really encountering a problem in this battle. Tell us about this Luobi man." What are they planning on? They pretend to swallow Anyanji, but they are so slow in their actions. This is not in line with common sense. Could it be that they are planning to put on this false pretence but actually their purpose is to attack? Our reinforcements? It stands to reason that surprise attack is their most effective method. Now that it is openly pointed out, even if their armored cavalry performs well, I am afraid they will still pay a considerable price in this case, right?"
Seeing that the other party had put all his thoughts on the strange behavior of the Luobi people in front of him, Hu Yanqiu gathered his mind and thought about it carefully. The importance of Anyanji is needless to say, and Anyanji has no city walls for defense. It can be said that It is an open market town. If we really face a surprise attack by the Luobei cavalry, even if there is a division and garrison, it may be difficult to effectively respond to such a sneak attack that comes and goes without a trace. By the time the Wusun and Kuqa garrisons on both sides responded, the enemy had already walked away in a swagger. So what were the Luobi people planning now
"Helian, I think the problem must still lie with that main attack group. It is impossible for an attack group of 40,000 people to disappear silently. It is suddenly in the east and sometimes in the west. The more it acts like this, the more it shows that there is something wrong. . I am imagining that if this main attack group really appears in the west of Bega as the intelligence said, it is very likely that this main attack group will cooperate with its two affiliated forces to fight with us. "It's a real battle with swords and guns," Hu Yanqiu finally expressed his opinion, "Of course, we still have to wait for the final confirmation from the intelligence department so that we can formulate corresponding countermeasures."
"Are you saying that the Luobei people plan to have a battle with us in Anyanji?" He was startled, and Helianbo's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the possibility of this situation, if that was the case. That was a long-awaited opportunity, but how would the other side fight this battle
"There is currently no intelligence support for this, so I'm not sure, but I thought about it carefully, and now our relatively accurate intelligence has suddenly become blurry, which shows that the Luobei people are also consciously disguising to cover their true intentions. The last two attack groups were wandering around Wusun. Isn't this an omen?" Although Hu Yanqiu was not sure in his words, the suspicion in his tone was self-evident.
"Well, there is some truth to it. The current situation of the Luobi people is actually not easy. They are also under considerable pressure, especially on the logistics supply line. The Mote and Tubu cavalry organized by Zhou Tinggui are said to be behind the Luobi army. After many successes, the Luobi people have been tortured enough by the Mote and Tubu people. It seems that they are also looking for a suitable opportunity to have a try with us. Maybe they also want to bite off the big fat meat to claim credit from Wadeya. What?" Helianbo's thoughts were also stimulated, and he seemed to have figured out some clues in a flash of inspiration.
"Well, the question is how the Luobi people plan to fight now and how their troops will be deployed. If we can understand their specific intentions, then it will be much easier for us to fight this battle." Hu Yanqiu said with some distress. He punched the desk with his fist and smacked his lips.
"Nonsense, if the Luobi people even know these things clearly to us, can this be called a war? It would be easier to just bring them to your doorstep and let us slaughter them." He Lianbo said angrily, and then said He nodded thoughtfully and said: "However, after all, Kurdo is not Tu Da. He is a little too impatient. If the two attack groups did not reveal their intentions so early, I am afraid we will not be able to figure out their intentions for a while. idea, but now, around the focus of Anyanji, even if we can't know the details, as long as we have timely grasp of the intelligence information, we can still know something about the general intentions of the Luobi people. This is enough. It is impossible to fight in the first place. We did everything perfectly beforehand. Now maybe it’s time for us to use our trump card weapon. I’m afraid these rangers will have their hands and feet exhausted.”
"Helian, you and I might as well put ourselves in the shoes of Kurdo and imagine what we would do. Maybe we can find some clues. After all, the Luobei people are different now from a while ago. They are also different now. It also cannot take too long, and the northwest war is beginning to show signs of turning into a decisive game that determines the outcome. If Kurdo wants to complete his own mission, he also needs to move the southern army from the Western Region and Teng as quickly as possible. With the northwest territory on the Grii grassland, we can only look for fighter planes in the hope of defeating our main force in one fell swoop. The importance of Anyanji's location forces us not to give up here, and the Luobi people can use this base point to attract more of our armed forces. The humble people can completely use this grinding heart to attract us to continue investing, so as to maximize the damage to our effective forces. They can even concentrate their superior forces and types of troops to force a breakthrough and defeat our power in one fell swoop. But they missed the calculation that we still have four players. The cavalry regiment, this force will become the decisive force, and even dominate the outcome of the entire battle! In this way, we can completely take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation, and the Luobi people will pay a heavy price for their arrogance." At this point. , Hu Yanqiu's tiger eyes couldn't help but burst with starlight, and he suddenly stood up.
