Chapter Thirty-sixty-One: The Chain Count in the Desert
Li Ningyu finally came to his senses and did not intend to go further alone. However, the enemy was anxious, so the attacks on them started again and again, and the serial plan was revealed again.
When we set off for the expedition two days ago, the entire regiment had 3,000 troops. Now it has less than 2,000 troops, including about 600 wounded, and the food left is less than a day's use. This makes the Far East Army, which was originally prepared to stand still and wait for support, unable to continue.
Just keep waiting.
So before noon, Li Ningyu had been urging his staff to send urging messages to the guard regiment supporting from the rear and the Hejaz Kingdom coming to support. However, the situation received was the same. Both parties encountered obstacles.
Seeing this situation, Li Ningyu knew that he could no longer sit still and wait for death, but must take action.
Then Li Ningyu had no choice but to order the whole army to continue setting off, and the Hejaz cavalry rushing towards Oshela City turned around, because according to the telegram, the Far East Guard Regiment encountered a large sandstorm. Without heavy vehicles to maneuver, they could not move forward in the sandstorm.
OK, so we need to wait for the sandstorm to completely pass before we can continue marching.
And a bigger net was waiting for Li Ningyu to drill into it, because the cavalry of the Hanjaz Kingdom actually stopped being loyal to the Hanjaz Kingdom many years ago and switched to their new leader.
Therefore, the several groups of special forces that appeared in the Hanjaz territory this time were brought in by them. After receiving the order from the leader, they deliberately slowed down the speed of support.
However, Li Ningyu and the Far East Army did not know all this, so the vehicles continued to move along the central axis. After less than three hours of march, the Far East Army finally met up with the cavalry team of the Hanzhi Kingdom.
The cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Zhi have a regiment of about 3,000 people. They are all cavalry and are equipped with only light weapons.
Without an interpreter, the communication between the two sides was very difficult. Even the iron soldiers could barely speak a few common expressions with them. Fortunately, the cavalry knew the flag of the Far East, so there was no misunderstanding.
After stepping off the command vehicle, Li Ningyu met the commander of the cavalry. Although he could not communicate in words, he could shake hands with common etiquette gestures. But just after Li Ningyu stretched out his hand, he saw this Hanzhi
The captain of the kingdom's cavalry had something hanging on his waist, but Li Ningyu did not immediately say anything at that time, but continued to shake hands with a smile.
Subsequently, both sides jointly established a new camp so that injured Far Eastern soldiers could be treated as quickly as possible, and food was replenished so that the soldiers could fill their stomachs.
However, after seeing the cavalry leader leaving, Li Ningyu immediately called Tie Bing aside alone, and said with a serious face: "Tie Bing, you will secretly give the order in a moment. All personnel must be more careful when eating.
, and even if you are taking a break, you must not leave your gun while taking a rest. All personnel should immediately move closer to the convoy, and all personnel on special armored vehicles should remain in the vehicle on standby!"
"Ah, what's wrong, young master, did something happen?" After understanding Li Ningyu's arrangements, Tie Bing said incomprehensibly.
"Well, I suspect there is something wrong with the cavalry of the Hanzhi Kingdom! Anyway, be careful and make sure you make arrangements immediately!" Li Ningyu did not say it directly. He saw the mini version of the Mitsubishi Army Spur on the waist of the cavalry commander, and
He added to Tie Bing solemnly.
"Yes, young master! I will make arrangements immediately!" After receiving the order, Tie Bing quickly conveyed Li Ningyu's orders layer by layer.
The Far Eastern soldiers who were originally mixed with the cavalry of the Hijaz Kingdom gradually began to actively separate from them. The Far Eastern soldiers all moved closer together to station, and the food began to be strictly inspected at all levels and used uniformly. All injured soldiers
, were all carried into the vehicles of the Far East Legion by their companions, and the logistics staff also packed a large amount of food into the trucks, seemingly ready to be taken away immediately.
After returning to the command vehicle, Li Ningyu immediately sent a telegram to Kong Xiaoping in Mecca City, briefly describing some things that required his cooperation, mainly asking Kong Xiaoping to help find out the details of the cavalry commander, but in the Far East
After this situation occurred in the legion, the commander of the Hijaz Kingdom cavalry regiment also sent a telegram to his superiors.
The absence of a smoke-filled camp did not mean that the flames of war did not spread. A thick and disharmonious atmosphere began to appear, and finally less than two hours later, the two sides met each other.
The Far East Legion, which had been galloping all the way and experienced many emergencies, was already like a tight bowstring. It started the next battle in this long-awaited situation. Although the Far East Legion has not yet figured out, Han
Why did the cavalry of the Kingdom of Zhi attack themselves? But the battle had already begun, and there were some things that did not allow them to hesitate.
Before discovering that the cavalry was preparing to launch an enveloping offensive, the Far East Army took the lead in opening fire. But the next question posed in front of Li Ningyu: Should we continue to fight a protracted battle here, or adopt mobile operations? Li Ningyu was struggling in the command vehicle
They made their choice. In terms of the number of troops, the cavalry was twice that of the Far East. Fortunately, the Far East had the advantage in firepower, and with the addition of a large amount of supplies, life issues were not too passive.
If mobile warfare is adopted, then the cavalry will obviously have to be more convenient to fight with the Far East Army. After all, there are not so many armed vehicles in the Far East. But if you stay here, the number of troops will not be conducive to continuing a protracted war, so you must use divided forces to fight.
Destroy the enemy's mobility.
The plan emerged, and Li Ningyu immediately began to give orders. According to his command, the Far East Army was divided into two parts, one in the direction of the coming direction and the other in the direction of Oshela City. Li Ningyu and Tie Bing each led a part, and at the same time commanded the combat staff in the vehicle.
, immediately report this unexpected situation.
After the gunshots suddenly started, the two sides immediately fought in the shortest possible time. Then the cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Hijaz showed their advantages, and their highly flexible attacks brought a lot of trouble to the Far East Army.
There would be less trouble, but they also knew that once the Far East Legion's vehicles started moving, it would be impossible to catch up.
Therefore, they piled a large number of horses and supplies on the road, and at the same time established temporary blocking positions in an attempt to block the route of the Far East convoy. However, they too underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Far East Legion. Although in terms of the number of troops,
The Far East is less than two-thirds of theirs, but the importance of firepower to the battlefield cannot be overstated.
Three fully armored special armored vehicles charged as a team, and soon opened a lane at the cavalry position for one vehicle to pass through.
