Chapter 961 Dispute (2)
"Our general defended Xuehua Mountain to the death and waited for an opportunity to counterattack Luojin County. He would never let the Black Hawk Empire army use Luojin County as a bridgehead to attack our defense zone." Lieutenant General Huang's finger focused on the map, and he was full of courage.
"Although the terrain of Snowflake Mountain is dangerous and easy to defend and attack, it is not easy to build fortifications. If the Black Hawk Empire bombed with heavy artillery and aircraft, the troops may suffer too much casualties. General Zhao, please be honest, I am afraid that this place should not be defended here." Brigade Commander Wang pondered for a moment and spoke out to persuade him.
For Brigade Commander Wang, who has accepted the offensive and defensive concept of "people who have lost their land will be lost, and people who have lost their land will be lost", he obviously does not agree with the defense of major casualties and tends to eliminate the enemy in mobile warfare.
But Huang Lanfeng shook his head, a trace of desolation appeared in his eyes, and he said firmly: "Brother Chen, you are right, but I cannot refuse to do this. My 17th Division belongs to Fuhongzhou. Since the bank of Lingpizhou is Fuhongzhou, if there is any mistake in Lingpizhou, the entrance of Fuhongzhou will be lost. If our troops cannot defend the danger because of the heavy casualties, then who will come to guard?" After saying that, he sighed and said: "Since the Ziliangcheng Incident, our troops have retreated again and again in Heyuzhou since the command of the 52nd Army. Until the Battle of Gujingcheng a few days ago, our army wanted to fight to the death, but all friendly troops retreated. Although I, Huang Lanfeng, had the determination to kill myself and defend the country, I could only retreat to Lingpizhou again. Now, with you, if our troops retreat more than 12,000 people, how will the people in the country look at it? How do the people of Fuhongzhou look at it?"
Although he didn't explain it too clearly, Liu Lang still understood what he meant. For this backbone general of the Northwest Army who launched the "Yonghai City Incident" to fight the united front of the Black Hawk Empire, the troops he led were retreating again and again on the front line of the Black Hawk Empire, and the attack of the enemy in Xianghai Valley and even the entire Heyuzhou was huge. He wanted to defend Xuehua Mountain to the death, which also proved that the Northwest Army was not a coward.
If the Northwest Army belongs to the Northwest Army does not make any name on the battlefield against the Black Hawk Empire, the "Yonghai City Incident" that year ago is undoubtedly the biggest joke between the Northwest Army and the North Army. You are not active in fighting the Black Hawk Empire yourself, and you are still carrying the so-called flag of the Black Hawk Empire to "kidnapping" the king?
"If Xuehua Mountain is lost, our troops will have a retreat. If we retreat to Jiangrui Mountain, we will build a second line of defense here." Huang Lanfeng will click on a location not far from Xuehua Mountain on the map.
Liu Lang sighed in his heart.
Liu Lang knew what his decision meant, but he, a man from Fuhongzhou who was a little bookish but extremely bloody, did not know that his decision had created the most tragic sniper battle on the northern battlefield of the kingdom, making tens of thousands of Fuhongzhou Lengwa under his command never return home.
A full-scale army with nearly 13,000 people had a casualty of up to 10,000, and the casualties were almost 80% before they were removed from the line of fire.
However, after this battle, the 17th Division of the Northwest Army became famous all over the world. Although one division of the 17th Division was almost destroyed, the Black Hawk Army, which had a casualty ratio of nearly 3 to 1, was also suffering heavy losses. The thick smoke over the Baihua Gully, which burned the bodies of the dead, covered the sky and the sun, and it was completely dispersed in five days and five nights.
The reason why Huang Lanfeng chose these two important places as his blocking positions is that these two positions are too important.
If Snowflake Mountain is a barrier directly in front of Guyong Peak, then Jiangrui Mountain is the gateway to the right of Guyong Peak. Once Jiangrui Mountain is lost, Guyong Peak becomes a lonely pass, and the right side is completely exposed under the Black Hawk Empire Army's military front.
Of course, Liu Lang also knew very well that the 17th Division was the secret of two major areas with the power of the first division. First, the 17th Division, who was headed by the lieutenant general, had the desire to serve the country; second, it was some of the king's indescribable little thoughts.
It is very simple. The Northwest Army is not only a miscellaneous army, but also the "culprit" who launched the "Yonghai City Incident" to imprison it. After returning to the capital under the pressure of the world, the king only imprisoned the two initiators and reduced the 17th Route Army, but he was still angry with the two armies.
Therefore, in this battlefield, the 17th Division could only resist with the strength of the first division. The Central Army, which was defending on both wings of the battlefield, would not give him reinforcements.
But Liu Lang came. The fate of the 17th Division would never be like this again. While a layer of mist rose in Liu Lang's eyes, he also made a secret decision in his heart.
Looking up at Liu Lang, who had not spoken for a long time but had obvious emotions fluctuated, and Brigade Commander Wang, who had a little choked throat, Huang Lanfeng couldn't help but smile: "The two brothers don't have to be like this. The horse-rimmed body is the fate of soldiers. I still remember that when I was in the ancient city, you, Colonel Liu, ordered the whole country to send a telegram, and the Independent Regiment decided to live and die together in the position and fight to the death. Brother Liu! Do you know, if it weren't for your words, how could I have just arrived at the defense line of our army and hurriedly ran to see you, a young hero, twenty miles away?"
"Teacher, it's okay for your troops to defend the ground, but how to defend? You can decide after listening to my analysis of the battle situation?" Liu Lang calmed down for a moment and said.
"Okay, I listened attentively." Huang Lanfeng's eyes swollen and curious flashed, and he picked up the teacup again and nodded.
Obviously, Liu Lang's meaning is very clear. His analysis of the battle situation just now has similarities with his, but he also has different opinions.
"Come on, come on, Brother Liu, please tell me quickly. I have thought about the focus of the attack on the Black Hawk Empire Army for a long time, but it is basically the same as General Zhao's thought." Brigade Commander Wang, who was standing beside him, was also excited.
"Sanchuaner, carry me the sand table I made last night in." Liu Lang suddenly shouted outside the door.
As Liu Lang shouted, Sanchuaner led four soldiers in the guard platoon to carefully place a panoramic sand table in front of the three.
The two generals were stunned.
On the sand table, the mountains and rivers in the Guyongfeng area, including railways and highways and even small roads and valleys, are clearly marked by signs, which is completely a three-dimensional map. No, it is much more detailed than the map of Ling Pizhou East sent by the Second War Zone Command in front of the two generals.
It has been more than ten days since the Independent Regiment came to the Guyongfeng area today. Although the entire army did not have any military operations, the Independent Regiment Special Forces Brigade did not sit there and wait. This sand table is the result of more than 40 special forces soldiers in more than ten days. On average, each person has a mountain road of hundreds of miles a day, and the mountain roads within a radius of hundreds of miles are clearly identified and marked one by one, and even the mountain roads that can be walked by one by one person.
"Good guy, no wonder you have such a shocking attack in the battle of the ancient city. People only think that you, Liu Lang, had a great fortune and repaired the fortifications, and the Black Hawk Empire, accidentally hit his head and broke his blood. Today, when I saw this sand table, I realized that the battlefield changes rapidly, so what is the saying of a great fortune? Just talking about this is as careful as I can, I am better off than it is." General Huang couldn't help but applaud and sigh.
"Yes! You kid are really Zhuge's reincarnation! You really know that there must be a battle in Lingpizhou East? This preparation is amazing." Brigade Commander Wang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Hehe, two commanders don't praise me like this. I have given me a lot of gifts for this sand table these past ten days. Otherwise, how could the scouts I sent so easily to investigate the terrain between the defense zones of each military?" Liu Lang said with a smile.
"This gift is worth it. With this guy, we have to be much more at ease in the fight. Brother, you won't even think about moving this sand table back! If you don't feel tired, I will even feel tired for the brothers. Let's keep me here! Save some strength." Brigade Commander Wang praised Liu Lang while beating Commander Liu's Qiufeng with a very concerned attitude.
Finally, he shouted to the door, "Xiao Shanzi, remember to make two large pieces of fat meat in Captain Liu's bowl at noon."
