After the battle of Desola began, the Western Army led by Wang Dingyuan and the Eastern Army led by Zhao Weihu launched an attack on Desola from both wings.
At the same time, with the strong frontal attack launched by the Mexican government troops and the Blackwater Legion, the three defense zones outside Desola were penetrated, and the surrounding fortifications were almost all destroyed!
But after six hours, this strong offensive rhythm was forced to slow down. The biggest reason was not the threat from the ground, but the air force base in Longcheng, which supported the rebels wave after wave and launched a fierce firepower attack.
The Mexican-Mozart coalition could only try their best to hide in the surrounding bunkers to avoid being hit by aerial fire, but this was also a tactic that Su Tianyu had formulated from the beginning.
The time to attack is to wait until there is a firepower vacuum in area one, and then quickly advance the troops, with the armored units leading the way, and the infantry and tanks coordinating and moving forward at full speed. During this time, get as close to the enemy as possible!
In this way, the troops of both sides were in a melee, and the air force in Area 1 could not conduct effective identification, let alone indiscriminate fire bombing, thus greatly reducing the threat from the air.
However, the aerial precision strike capability of Area 1 is still quite powerful. Under this tactic, the Mexican-American coalition still suffered some casualties.
…
An hour later, the Western Route Army took up its front-line command position.
Several military vehicles stopped in front of the position, and Su Tianyu got out of the vehicle under the protection of the guard company. As the attack was blocked, he rushed here quickly, wanting to pay attention to the situation here as soon as possible.
"Commander Su, this way."
Under the guidance of the enemy soldiers, Su Tianyu had just walked to the front of the command tent when he immediately heard a curse coming from inside. He subconsciously stopped, stood in front of the door, gently lifted the curtain, and took a look inside.
At this time, three generals of the Western Expedition Corps were standing in the tent. They had high military ranks on their shoulders, two colonels and one major general. They were lowering their heads and were being scolded by Wang Dingyuan.
Wang Dingyuan slammed the table, veins on his forehead, and shouted at them: "Fuck the neighbors, all the troops have advanced nearly 30 kilometers, only your army has advanced less than 15 kilometers, how did you fight? I ask you how did you fight? Why is it that with the same number of troops and the same combat readiness, you can't achieve the expected results? "
The two colonels lowered their heads and said nothing.
The major general hesitated for a moment and could not help but explain: "Commander, the position where our army is attacking has been attacked by the enemy's frontal firepower! Moreover, most of the enemy's air firepower is also attacking us! This makes our attack more difficult than...!"
Wang Dingyuan's temples bulged after hearing this. He pointed at the major general and cursed, "It's a fight to the death now! You're still talking to me about objective conditions! Is it difficult for you? Look back and see which army is not difficult? Let me ask you, is it difficult for Fei Pingsheng's army of more than 10,000 to occupy Tianshen Mountain? In the old Mexican counterattack, you didn't have to go to the front battlefield. In the battle of Tianshen Mountain, you didn't have to hide in the woods. Now, don't you know how to fight a favorable battle? Don't tell me it's difficult. Three hundred thousand troops started together. You are so far behind. It means you don't have enough confidence in the decisive battle and you are not capable. There is no excuse! I don't need you now! Take your army of 10,000 people and withdraw from the battlefield immediately!"
A major general in his forties turned red in the face when Wang Dingyuan scolded him. He clenched his fists but dared not say a word.
Outside the door, hearing the scolding in the room, the guard captain couldn't help but whispered to Su Tianyu: "He is a corps commander after all, and he was scolded too badly... Do you want to go in and plead for mercy? After all, it's wartime now. If the troops really withdraw..."
Su Tianyu waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking.
The guard company commander nodded and said nothing more.
In the tent, Wang Dingyuan pointed at the major general and said, "Take off your military rank! Pack up your things and return to the Chinese district now!"
The major general gritted his teeth, took off his military rank and his gun, slammed them on the table, and said to Wang Dingyuan: "You are the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Corps. I accept it if you dismiss me and disband my troops! Now I am a private, can I go to the battlefield?"
Wang Dingyuan waved his hand and said, "No, you are no longer qualified to go! Guards, get him out!"
Two guards immediately came over, lifted up the major general and dragged him out.
The major general also lost his temper, his eyes red, and shouted at Wang Dingyuan: "Let's not talk about the objective conditions. I have been overseas for so many years. If you want me to go back like this, you might as well kill me!"
"Stop talking nonsense to me!" Wang Dingyuan pointed at him and yelled at the top of his voice, "I'm telling you, your army is a noodle army! You're also a noodle army commander! At the same time, you're also the first major general sent out of the Chinese area to be sent back!"
The major general was pulled out of the barracks, and the remaining two colonels also lowered their heads and silently left the tent.
After they all left, Su Tianyu lifted the door curtain and walked in.
At this time, Wang Dingyuan was holding the table with both hands, breathing heavily.
Su Tianyu walked over and asked softly, "Isn't the movement a bit too big?"
Wang Dingyuan pointed at his chest and said, "The battle has come to this point. If we can't keep up the momentum, all our efforts will fail! I don't care who these generals are related to. Whoever makes me lose the momentum, I will kill him! My father's generation risked their lives to achieve 30 years of peaceful development. I can't take this place! Later, we will have to engage in regional confrontation! We will have to build a transcontinental military passage! For every dollar they spend, we will have to spend three! Can we afford it?! We must reach Desola within three days! Only by winning can we have the initiative!"
A son of a general!
Wang Dingyuan's background destined him to think differently. Despite Su Tianyu's dissuasion, Wang Dingyuan still eliminated an entire army on the front line, with more than 10,000 people being disbanded.
This move made other troops of the Western Expedition Corps jealous. Those troops who wanted to get by with it were extremely anxious, because if Wang Dingyuan sent them back to the Chinese area with this reason, it would mean the end of their military life.
…
District 1, Washington DC.
In a hidden room somewhere, Liu Qi sat on the sofa, looking a little nervous.
The curtains around were tightly drawn, and several burly men were standing nearby, staring at him.
Yu Mingyuan was sitting opposite, playing with a pistol.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
A telephone rang.
Yu Mingyuan looked down and found that it was Liu Qi's phone that rang. He picked up the phone, handed it to Liu Qi, and said, "Who called?"
Liu Qi took the phone, glanced at the caller ID, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's Kong Zhenghui..."
Yu Mingyuan nodded and instructed: "Just say it as before, understand?"
Liu Qi took the phone tremblingly, quickly adjusted his mood, and answered the call: "Hello, President Kong?"
Kong Zhenghui immediately asked, "Liu Qi, where are you? I heard from people at work that you haven't been here for three days."
Liu Qi explained: "It's like this... I found some clues before and I'm trying to contact them, so now I'm on the outside and haven't returned to the unit."
Kong Zhenghui was silent for a moment, then asked, "I heard your child is sick?"
Liu Qi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and continued, "It's okay. Everything is fine now. I'll keep an eye on my mother-in-law when she comes."
After listening to him, Kong Zhenghui said on the phone: "Okay, we just received news that there is an urgent task. You should come back immediately. I'm in the office. Come to me directly when you come back."
"good… "
After the two ended the call, Liu Qi handed the phone to Yu Mingyuan with sweat on his forehead.
Yu Mingyuan looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Do you remember what I told you?"
Liu Qi nodded.
Yu Mingyuan stared at him: "Repeat it!"
Liu Qi stammered, "Mainly...mainly to find the whereabouts of your wife... and...at the same time, to help you collect as much intelligence as possible..."
"Just remember this." Yu Mingyuan reached out and patted his shoulder gently: "I have to tell you one more thing. Kong Zhenghui still has my people around him. If you dare to play tricks, I guarantee that you and your family will die miserably."
Liu Qi's face turned pale and he nodded desperately.
Yu Mingyuan waved his hand at the people next to him: "Come, change his clothes and let him out!"
