Although it is good to encircle the enemy in a trapped battle, it is very unsuitable for the Far East Army to use it at this time, because the food carried by the Far East Army can only sustain up to 3,000 people for one day.
Li Ningyu and Tie Bing continued to think deeply, and then started a response analysis in the command vehicle, but in the end there were only two solutions. The first was to annihilate this group of enemies; the second was to give up the attack, retreat, and not fight with them.
Entangled.
However, the second choice was directly rejected by Li Ningyu. This was not because of his own will, but because if the Far East Army retreats, this group of people will definitely be entangled. By then, whether it is the morale of the Far East Army or the initiative on the battlefield,
, all fell into the hands of the enemy.
Then the only way is to annihilate the enemy, but if we force it, the casualties will be very high. In the previous battle, the Far East Army suffered hundreds of casualties in order to gain the initiative on the battlefield and seize the position, and the enemy was
Come prepared, not only occupy the high ground, but also build fortifications, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It was at this time that the combat staff on the side found a way to temporarily solve the encirclement of the enemy.
"Master Yu, in fact, we can send the main force of a battalion to trap the enemy here!" These words of the combat staff immediately started Li Ningyu's train of thought.
In fact, this method is very simple, that is, dispatch a battalion of troops to confront the enemy and wait for reinforcements.
However, this is a risky move. If all the current food is given to the remaining battalion, then the remaining troops must rush to the border city of Oshela before noon tomorrow, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Among the twenty taboos of military strategists, the issue of food and grass is always the top priority.
When launching a counterattack, the Far East Army had actually committed a major taboo, which was not knowing the enemy's situation. However, if time continued to drag on, it would be delayed. Being indecisive was not Li Ningyu's style, so Li Ningyu soon ordered his staff to contact Kong Xiaoping.
connect.
Then, this telegram appeared in Kong Xiaoping's hands. Looking at the telegram in front of him, Kong Xiaoping immediately contacted the Far East Guard Group, and then had an exchange with King Duleazi of Hijaz. More time passed.
Thirty minutes later, Kong Xiaoping replied to Li Ningyu with a telegram.
Holding the message he just received, Li Ningyu directly asked the combat staff to read it out.
"Master Yu, the guard regiment is still 20 kilometers away from Serat Mountain. If there are no special circumstances, it is estimated that they can arrive before dawn. In addition, King Dule Aziz of Hijaz has contacted the cavalry from Oshera.
If everything goes well, it will take about 15 hours to arrive!"
Hearing Kong Xiaoping's reply message, Li Ningyu lit a cigarette with furrowed eyebrows. After taking a deep breath, he ordered the implementation of the plan, which was to leave all the food and most of the drinking water and hand it over to the establishment.
The 3rd Marine Battalion had no casualties and left half of its special armored vehicles, while the remaining two battalions continued to advance with him.
At this time, Li Ningyu definitely did not expect that his plan to put himself to death this time would actually be guessed by his opponent, because his opponent knew him too well.
In fact, Li Ningyu did this not only out of personal habit, but also for many reasons. First of all, he knew that the guard regiment coming from Mecca to support did not have a large number of transportation tools, so they were marching on foot. Fortunately,
The distance is not too far, and even if there is a delay, we should be able to arrive within two days.
And his plan is to directly kill a carbine after a round with the cavalry of the Kingdom of Hijaz. If the stalemate continues here, the casualties will become greater and greater, and eventually this mobile force will become a tired force. How can we continue?
What about following him into the Najd region?
Of course, Li Ningyu also considered the enemy's situation, but he ignored one thing, which is also an old mistake, that is, the enemy is unknown to us.
By interrogating the sniper, Li Ningyu learned that the enemy was the Ottoman Empire's special forces, numbered 321 Army Regiment 333, so what he never expected was that the enemy was not just one regiment, but an integrated division.
, and is also a well-trained organizer.
Underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly, dividing the troops to fight, and showing weakness are three taboos for military strategists. But doesn't Li Ningyu know these things?
He knew, but things on the battlefield were not static and commanded after all. But he didn't know that the enemy this time really knew him too well, and had already prepared for this incident many years ago. Otherwise, this team would
How can the troops of other countries operating in the Hejaz and Najd Kingdom areas survive stably?
A regiment has an establishment of 3,000 men, and a division has an establishment of 10,000. The huge gap in numbers can change many things.
But Li Ningyu really didn't expect that the opponent actually had a field division in the Najd Kingdom area, with tens of thousands of troops. The troops were well-equipped and extremely powerful in combat. They were not ordinary Ottoman special forces at all. They could probably stand side by side.
There are only the special forces of the Far East Legion.
After the order was issued, the 3rd Marine Battalion and the troops in the position began to change defenses. Before continuing to set off, Li Ningyu thought about it and did one thing. He called the 3rd Battalion Commander over. After some instructions and explanations, the Far East Army Corps
We continued to move forward, and at this time, the enemy who held their position also sent a telegram.
The entire Far East convoy was reduced by half. In order to avoid the battlefield and continue to move forward, it made a big detour. In the end, it was delayed for another half an hour before it returned to the road.
At this time, there was silence in the command car. Li Ningyu smoked silently, constantly recalling his deployment in his mind and whether there were any major problems. However, after sorting it out, he just felt that this group of enemies was very strong and rare.
Apart from the opponent, no other problems were found.
Fortunately, Li Ningyu is not alone. There are also iron soldiers in the command car, combat staff, Zhao Duoduo, Sarah and others. The battle just now made the militant Sarah extremely fanatical. If it weren't for Li Ningyu
If not allowed, Sarah would have already gone to the battlefield with a pistol.
Everything that happened before was seen by everyone present, but everyone was thinking about different things in their hearts. Some people were thinking about the things and problems they might encounter next, and some people were keeping silent as they were harboring evil intentions.
Without saying a word, just when the command vehicle completely left the battlefield, the staff officer responsible for controlling the detection of radio signals suddenly stood up and said: "Master Yu, new situation!".
Seeing this situation, Li Ningyu's expression tightened, and then he responded simply: "Say!".
"Just now I detected that there are at least two radio stations operating around me. They are definitely not our long-wave radio stations. They are very similar to the ones we captured before!"
And just this normal sentence slightly changed a lot of things later, but this outstanding and dedicated combat consultant finally fought tenaciously to the end until he died in a foreign land and died gloriously!
