Sri Lanka Caliper Military Base.
Zhao Weihu looked at the electronic intelligence map on the wall with his hands behind his back and asked solemnly, "How many people in the 125th Army are supporting Niujiao Mountain?"
"About one regiment." The staff officer said softly, "The vanguard has arrived at the battle site."
Zhao Weihu fell silent.
A regiment commander nearby also looked at the electronic map and immediately interjected, "Commander, I suggest that we form a joint force with the Third Division and attack Niujiao Mountain from two fronts. While the rain is pouring, we can send reinforcements and directly eat up this regiment."
Zhao Weihu hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Call Chief of Staff Wu of the Third Division over here, quickly!"
Two or three minutes later, Old Wu walked into the command hall of the headquarters, looked up at Zhao Weihu and said, "What do you want, Commander?"
"You should be clear about the situation. What do you think is the best way to deal with Liuzi?" Zhao Weihu asked.
"Don't even think about it! We can only send air support and the ground troops wait in a safe place." Chief of Staff Wu replied with his hands behind his back.
The commander who proposed the attack immediately asked back after hearing this: "Why air support? In this kind of weather and visibility, the most we can do with air support is to strike targets and form a force deterrent, but we can't carry out an annihilation war. There's no money to be made from fighting."
"If it were me, I wouldn't even open fire and would just turn around and come back," Chief of Staff Wu replied.
"Why?" the captain asked.
"Because you can't think of your opponent as a fool." Chief of Staff Wu frowned and said, "The 125th Army has suffered several major losses in a row, even losing Sri Lanka. Recently, they have been very cautious in military decision-making. Under such circumstances and in such weather, will they send out a regiment so quickly to support a separatist family?!"
The team leader frowned slightly: "You mean, this is a trap?"
"I mean, is it a trap that we can't block? There's no point in doing so." Chief of Staff Wu corrected the other party's words: "Liu Zi has completed the work and achieved the goal. Why should we fight them at night?! If this is a business, every extra shot you fire at the moment of completing the work is increasing costs and risks."
The team leader was convinced by this theory, and after thinking about it carefully, he replied: "It makes sense!"
Zhao Weihu looked at Chief of Staff Wu and licked his lips urgently, commenting very sweetly: "He has to be a senior commander, a general. His analysis is very accurate! To be honest, I think the same as you, but your expression is much better than mine."
"Haha, Commander, your words really made me blush." Chief of Staff Wu replied with a smile: "Old Fei, who is commanding the operation this time, is not a professional, but his tactical arrangements are so perfect, he is a talent!"
"Although my language skills are not as strong as yours, I can understand that the commander of the 125th Army, Xiao Heihei, has been cautious recently, but today he sent ground troops to reinforce. This is absolutely abnormal." Zhao Weihu looked at the electronic map with his hands behind his back: "It's just an armed force of a different race. Can he gamble with an entire regiment? How much money does he have?!"
After a brief pause, Zhao Weihu immediately issued an order: "The General Staff should call the General Headquarters and request the 1st Air Force on the border to send fighter jets to reinforce Niujiao Mountain."
"Yes!" The Chi Army's staff officer immediately replied.
Zhao Weihu turned his head and looked at Chief of Staff Wu and said, "The team of instructors you have selected can leave after training Fei Pingsheng's regiment. As for Fei Pingsheng's more than 2,000 men, they must return to the battle sequence of the Chi Army after the training is completed. I have a great use for this person."
When Chief of Staff Wu heard this, he immediately turned hostile: "That's not right, Commander! If you don't say this matter can be discussed, how can it be of any use?!"
"I'll buy you a drink."
"Do I need a drink? Commander...!"
"Let's go, let's find a place to talk!" Zhao Weihu smiled and pulled Staff Officer Wu away.
…
Niujiao Mountain.
After all the direct members of the Xue family were arrested, Su Tianyu personally carried Fei Pingsheng on his back and escaped through the blown-up secret passage.
At this time, although the heavy rain was still falling, the flood water in the mountain had already washed past the factory area. After all, this was not the final downstream area, and the water could not stay here forever, so it was also receding visibly.
Although the water had receded, the private armed forces of the Xue family no longer had the will to resist. Many of them even began looting on the spot.
Some people went to the armory and picked out the most expensive and best items; others rushed into the main building and searched the rooms where Xue Ping'an, Xue Nan's mother, and a large number of female relatives lived, specifically to steal valuable decorations.
This chaos fermented instantly, and many comrades who had fought together in the past started fighting each other during the snatch, and even opened fire on each other, resulting in many casualties.
This incident fully proves one point: when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
The soldiers and officers who were still here had only one thought: the Xue family was completely finished, they had to hold back and find a new way out!
About fifteen minutes later.
Su Tianyu and others arrived at the exit of the secret passage. A large number of soldiers from the Third Division pressed forward and engaged in a firefight with the rebel reinforcements.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xin Xiaodong and other key members helped Su Tianyu carry Lao Fei and evacuate quickly.
Less than five minutes into the fierce battle between the two sides, the regiment sent by the 125th Army received an order to retreat from the military headquarters.
The fighter planes of the Mexican government army arrived, and they were not large in scale, and they headed straight for Niujiao Mountain.
…
In the headquarters of the 125th Army, the dark commander listened to the report of the reconnaissance unit with his hands behind his back, gritting his teeth and cursing: "Cunning Orientals! Too cunning!!"
"Yes, Commander, they were not lured into the enemy's depth," the staff officer responded immediately, "but we can, together with the friendly rocket artillery units, eat up these dozen fighters."
"Stupid! The reason they sent out fighter jets must be that they guessed that our advance group was a bait, but they didn't know how much land force we had invested." Commander Heihei cursed angrily: "Once the rocket artillery unit opens fire, our ground forces will be exposed. They will fight back!"
The staff officer lowered his head and responded: "Then we can only retreat."
"Damn you Zhao Weihu, I will definitely kill you!" Army Commander Heihei cursed and turned away: "Order the advance team to retreat!"
"What about Xue's armed forces?"
"Let them go to see God!" Commander Heihei responded without even turning his head.
For the 125th Army, it was indeed painful for the Xue family's "taxpayer" group to be annihilated. However, no matter how painful it was, they were just a Chinese team and were not directly led by the 125th Army. They listened to the Tsing Yi Bureau and the political factions of the upper echelons of District 1.
Therefore, for Commander Heihei, there is no need for him to be determined to rescue a regiment just for a group of outsiders. This is obviously a very low cost-effective approach.
After the advance team withdrew, Su Tianyu drove the unconscious Lao Fei to Sri Lanka.
