[Faction Mission. Ankla]
Defeated the invading Saudi government forces and forced them to sign a peace treaty and recognize the legitimacy of the independent government in Ankara. (Completing the mission rewards five plot points and two hundred reputation points.)
At the Ancra border, facing the Saudi army that was constantly gathering troops, the Ancra independent government also began to fully assemble the independent army and mobilized some militias from various places to supplement its strength.
According to intelligence, the Saudi military operation this time can be said to have the flavor of a nationwide mobilization.
In addition to the main field troops that had just been severely damaged and rebuilt, many troops stationed in various places were also mobilized.
There were more troops than last time, nearly thirteen thousand infantry.
There are also a lot of weapons and equipment just purchased from Yingjiang, including a large number of new and old tanks, artillery, armored personnel carriers and AS.
However, Li Boyong was not scared at all. In the previous battle, the Saudi army lost only a few AS and tank operators. The combat effectiveness of the troops trained in a short period of time was actually very limited.
Moreover, the morale of the Saudi army is generally low, and the soldiers' fighting will is not high.
After all, this is a modern war, and it is no longer an era where victory or defeat can be determined by numbers alone.
Although the Independence Army only assembled less than two thousand troops, after this period of development, the army's equipment has been greatly improved.
In particular, the number of ASs is basically the same as that of the Saudi Army. Coupled with Shihe's training of operators and the improvement of operating systems these days, Li Boyong is very much looking forward to the combat power that the AS troops can exert.
Of course, relying on these alone cannot easily defeat the Shajun.
In the temporary marching command post, Li Boyong arranged the combat tasks of each team.
It is still the guerrilla warfare that the Independence Army is good at, but this time there are some other arrangements.
"Yufang, Yulan, I'm glad you can help." Li Boyong handed a combat document to the Xia sisters, "This time your mission is in it."
"learn."
Yufang took the information, browsed it briefly, and nodded to express her understanding.
She has a very straightforward style and speaks so little that the members of the Independence Army on the side can't help but wonder whether she can understand the content of the tactics.
Especially the expressionless look on their faces made it impossible to see their emotions, and naturally it was impossible to judge anything.
But Li Boyong is not worried at all. The Xia sisters have been rolling on the battlefield since they were children, and they have more combat experience than many members of the Independence Army.
Moreover, he had acted with the Xia sisters and knew each other's abilities, so he spent a lot of money to hire the Xia sisters this time.
Yes, this time Li Boyong hired the Xia sisters and some of his armed forces through Leonard to participate in this battle as mercenaries.
The purpose was to allow them to sneak into Saudi Arabia with a special force and carry out sabotage operations against the Saudi army's supply lines.
According to the current economic situation of the Saudi army, the supply situation of the army of more than 10,000 people is estimated to be bad enough. If the supply is hit again, the army will soon collapse.
He only needs to use guerrilla tactics to hold back the opponent's troops until then. After cutting off the supply of the Saudi army for a period of time, he can boldly launch a counterattack.
At that time, it will be another big defeat for the Saudi army.
"The meeting is over, and each team begins to prepare for battle. This time, we must let the guys in Sauterstan know that this land is not a place they can set foot on."
Finally, Li Boyong gave a brief morale boost.
"Yes!"
"Let them see how powerful we are!"
"Saut, go home!"
The subordinates of the Independence Army simply stopped inciting him, not because of how good his rhetoric was, but because they had confidence in Li Boyong.
Have confidence in the Ankara Tigers.
————
The invasion of the Saudi army began, tearing up the armistice agreement without any notice and invading the Ankara area.
After the independent government protested verbally from afar, the independent army began fighting.
It is still the same guerrilla tactics as always, hit and leave. The Saudi army has not been able to find a good way to counter this style of play so far.
In addition to being unfamiliar with the terrain, it is also related to the guerrillas' current mobility.
In order to increase the mobility of the guerrillas, he purchased a number of combat vehicles so that the guerrillas could better hit and run.
Anyway, Ancra itself produces oil, so it doesn't matter if the guerrillas run as much as they want, since there is no army aviation unit on the opposite side.
One week into the war, the rhythm was completely under Li Boyong's control.
The Saudi army paid a heavy price, but the distance it advanced was far lower than the Saudi army expected. The terrain of the Ankra area is flat in the hinterland and rugged around it.
Before reaching the hinterland, no matter which route the Saudi army took, they had to pass through rugged terrain.
On rugged terrain, the mobility of AS far exceeds that of tank troops.
Facing the AS troops of the Independence Army, the Saudi Army could only send the same AS troops to engage in battle.
However, the Independence Army clearly had the upper hand in the AS confrontation.
The AS team led by Shihe attacked the vulnerable parts of the Saudi army several times, and deceived the AS troops who came to support them, causing considerable losses to the opponent. They then successfully escaped before the large Saudi army surrounded them.
However, the AS troops of the Saudi Army still caused a lot of trouble for the Independence Army, preventing the attack from achieving its best effect.
To this end, Li Boyong carefully designed a valley ambush.
The deliberate mistake of the small force attracted the large AS force of the Saudi Army, and then the independent army in the ambush broke out together.
A great battle broke out between the AS troops on both sides. Li Boyong and Shihe both participated in this battle.
Under the leadership of two super aces, the Independence Army AS troops defeated the Sand Army AS troops.
The two M6s driven by Li Boyong and Shihe, which used monomolecular saw chain swords, became a nightmare for the Saudi army.
After successfully ambushing the AS unit of the Saudi Army, Li Boyong asked the AS unit of the Independent Army to temporarily slow down the pace of the attack.
At the same time, the mercenary team led by the Xia sisters in Sauterstan began to continuously attack the supply team of the Saudi army.
The supply line was cut off, the AS troops were defeated, and the already low morale of the Saudi army was brought to the brink of collapse.
Three days after the Saudi army fell into supply difficulties, Li Boyong led the independent army to launch a major counterattack.
The Saudi army has a numerical advantage, but it cannot exert corresponding combat effectiveness. Many times, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the Saudi army was defeated. The independent army took the opportunity to launch a series of fierce attacks, which finally triggered a major rout of the Saudi army.
During the battle, Li Boyong was also lucky enough to capture the top commander of the Saudi army, which added a lot of bargaining chips to the post-war negotiations.
The war lasted for about a month and ended with the complete defeat of the Saudi army.
Defeated again, turmoil broke out in Saudi Arabia, and civil strife even broke out in some areas.
Wang Liumei took the opportunity to propose peace negotiations, promising mutual non-aggression and the return of captives, but required Saudi Arabia to formally recognize the legitimacy of Ankara's independent government.
Faced with internal and external difficulties, the Saudi government had to compromise with Wang Liumei and signed relevant treaties.
At this point, the Ankara region was officially independent.
The independent government becomes the legitimate government.
The country called Ankrastan was born.
