The defensive battle at Lancuifeng was extremely fierce.
After hesitation, the entire defenders huddled together and formed a tight defensive area in the core area of Lancuifeng.
The 1105th Division had been unable to attack the core perimeter for a long time. Only then did they realize how terrifying the natural dangers of one man in the core garrison area of Lancuifeng were.
Fortunately, the Lancuifeng garrison did it. When the 1105th Division found that it could not capture Lancuifeng in a short time, and its own consumption became extremely huge, General Long-Legs finally woke up.
Without relying on the support of the 1108th Division to encircle him, he would not be able to capture Lancui Mountain on his own! It seems that this monopoly of credit is about to fly away again!
With no credit left, it was then that he remembered that the 1108th Division had fallen into an extremely dangerous siege. The commander of the 1108th Division had sent several urgent requests for help to his own side. If I don't make a statement, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for me to step down if this matter is brought to the headquarters.
So he next made another unprofessional command order: withdraw from the battlefield immediately and rush to the rescue of the 1108th Division.
After issuing this order, he sighed to himself: Although he knew that the other party was planning to encircle Wei and save Zhao, he was helpless, that's it, that's it! There will be many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future, but it is important to clear the siege of the 1108th Division first, otherwise no one will be able to reap the consequences if they go to the Commander-in-Chief.
These words made the surrounding staff members complain. Although the previous division commander was a little too cautious, he was still a man. He took all the responsibilities of the division on himself. It is better for the acting division commander to share the responsibilities evenly with us subordinates.
But even so, they still dare to be angry and dare not speak out even though the official level is crushing people to death.
General Long-Legs was eager to go to the rescue in order to make up for his past mistakes. He did not even make clear arrangements for the troops covering the retreat, which directly caused the soldiers on the front line to become the rear troops retreating at the rear. It can be said that one second he was still killing enemies, but the next second he received an order to retreat.
This fatal mistake alone could completely tear open the wound and widen it indefinitely. I immediately ordered the original defenders of Lancuishan to launch a pursuit. They must pursue selectively. To put it simply, the old lady picks the persimmons. Soft pinch.
Originally seeing the 1105th Division finally changing direction, the 1108th Division felt that there was hope for rescue. But soon it was discovered that the 1105th Division was fighting intermittently. From being proactive at the beginning, it suddenly became passive.
The 1108th Division had no choice but to give up the idea of counterattack and directly ordered to shrink the defense circle to the limit and tighten the defense scope.
Seeing this moment, I smiled knowingly, I have already won this battle!
The moment the 1108th Division completely shrunk its defense circle, I immediately ordered the 7th and 13th Divisions to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner and immediately attack Lancuifeng.
At this moment, the 1105th Division, which is stuck in the quagmire of Lancuifeng, has completely become a tired division. The so-called incompetence of one general will tire out the three armies. He is talking about this long-legged general.
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. This was something the long-legged general never expected. But even in this situation on the battlefield, there were so many unpredictable factors that the outcome could be decided in seconds.
I could totally take this opportunity to capture this long-legged general alive, but it's not necessary. Such "talents" must be left to the other side. Only with more such people can we win better and more easily.
The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. The defenders of Lancuifeng who were fighting to the death suddenly turned into a pursuing army. Suppressed by successive sieges, the defenders of Lancuifeng were already like a crater waiting to burst out.
Faced with a sudden double-sided attack, the overall morale of the enemy's 1105th Division instantly changed from "unstoppable" at the beginning to "fleeing in a panic".
Originally, the enemy's 1105th Division had a very strong combat capability and should not have fought so ugly. But the main reason lies in the command of the long-legged general. When the long-legged general saw that the situation was not right, he immediately mobilized all the elites in the division to cover his escape. And the remaining troops were scattered and scattered, and surrounded and surrounded.
The entire battlefield turned into a mess!
I specifically ordered that the troops that blocked General Long-Legs' breakout should "deliberately let go" the enemy commander, but that they should severely attack the elite coverers, leaving only one "squad" of personal guards for "General Long-Legs" .
Standing outside the chess game, you can see that the enemy division 1105, which originally attacked Cuifeng with all its strength, was "chopped" bit by bit into tiny earthworms from a long snake.
These red earthworms only struggled for a moment and had no chance of escaping. They were surrounded and annihilated by the blue troops swarming from all sides.
One was ebbing and the other was ebbing, and just like that, except for the long-legged general and several guards who "took advantage of the chaos" to escape back to the No. 1 main base camp of the 1105th Division, the entire enemy 1105th Division was completely surrounded and annihilated by me. Among them, nearly 40% of the troops were captured. This 40% of the troops will greatly expand our Lancuifeng's defense strength.
Although it will take some time for the 40% of the captives to "assimilate", it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If there is rice, there will naturally be a solution!
If my previous plan to deliberately release this "long-legged general" was to let this pig teammate cause more trouble within the enemy, I never thought that this "reward" would come so quickly.
The first thing this "long-legged general" did when he fled back to the No. 1 main base camp in disgrace was not to reflect on the situation and plead guilty, but to throw dirty water and shirk responsibility.
This man is called professional when he complains about injustice and suffers. He first cried bitterly in order to personally report everything he experienced on the battlefield to the headquarters. Only then did he escape with great determination and luck. It was so close, so close, that he, the largest commander of the 1105th Division, would be captured alive by the Blue Army.
Speaking of this, he burst into tears and immediately said that even so, he would not let such a thing happen. Even at his last moment, he would choose to die to be loyal to Headquarters No. 1. He would never Let yourself, a division-level cadre, fall into the enemy's hands alive.
He said nothing about how he temporarily deployed the main forces of each regiment to cover his breakout and retreat. After he thought about it, he just repeatedly expressed his loyalty and that was it. Anyway, the remaining members of the 1105th Division were either annihilated or captured. Even if someone knew what really happened at that time, given the current situation, how could Headquarters No. 1 choose to believe the words of those prisoners.
Of course, this is only his first step. It is the second step that really changes the subject, shirks responsibilities, and throws dirty water.
Previously, the enemy's 1108th Division was almost trapped due to the 1105th Division's refusal to support, so it reduced its forces to the extreme, which was exactly the same as the tactical policy of the Lancuifeng garrison at that time.
The commander of the 1108th Division also made a detailed report to the headquarters even though he was refused support several times. The core sentence is as follows: If the enemy is close and quiet, he relies on his danger; if he is far away and challenges, he wants to be attacked. Enter.
The meaning of this sentence is nothing more than: The enemy is very close to me but quiet and strange, because he relies on him to occupy the dangerous terrain; the enemy is far away from me but constantly challenges, because he wants to induce me to advance rashly.
The meaning of the first half of this sentence is that his 1108th Division was so close to our passing 7th Division, but he thought that the 7th Division was going to fully support Lan Cuishan, so it missed the most important fighter opportunity.
The meaning of the second half of the sentence is: The enemy's 7th Division and 13th Division have already merged into one place. His Second Division suddenly gave up attacking Position 1108 where I had reduced my strength, and turned around to encircle the 11105th Division just to tempt me to rashly Go to the rescue, so that all the actions of shrinking the troops just now will be in vain.
Another enemy garrison occupied Lancui Mountain and had a unique advantage. The effect of shrinking their troops would be several times or even dozens of times stronger than that of their own side. If the enemy's 7th Division and 13th Division deliberately resort to tricks and suddenly turn around, then the position occupied by the 1108th Division will be completely annihilated.
In fact, the commander of the 1108th Division's report to the headquarters was not exaggerated. On the contrary, I admired it very much. Although he was completely caught up in my scheme in the first half, his response planning speed was very fast. I do have the intention to fight back again. It is a small matter that the 1105 who attacked Lancuishan does not assist him. If his shrinking troops dare to attack again, I really have to make a decisive move to redirect the gun and continue to attack the enemy's 1108 division headquarters.
Just as the commander of the 1108th Division had estimated, the defenders of Lancuishan retreated in a planned and orderly manner. Although they would lose a little bit of ground with every step they took, their combat effectiveness would continue to increase.
Lancuishan itself has a unique natural advantage. By the end of the battle, the important strongholds that can only be opened by one man and ten thousand men will become increasingly dense. The density here refers to the strength of the troops. For example, in a naturally dangerous stronghold, the maximum limit that 1,000 troops can hold this pass is: a strong attack by 10,000 enemy troops.
Then due to the reduction of troops, the 1,000-man back force will increase to 2,000-3,000 men, which will be able to withstand the impact of the strongest offensive of 10,000 enemies in two and three waves. This kind of improvement is the most intuitive manifestation on the battlefield.
What kind of war is most likely to bring down the enemy? Not only is it difficult at the beginning, but it will be even more difficult in the future.
Instead, they were overwhelming at first, then resisted tenaciously, and then fought to the death for every inch of ground.
The enemy will feel that it is easy at the beginning, and then it will become more and more difficult, until they doubt whether they should persist. When he adapts to this relaxed atmosphere, he will become more anxious when encountering obstacles. When he is anxious, he will make mistakes and unnecessary sacrifices will increase.
But the heartfelt words reported by the commander of the 1108th Division suddenly turned into nonsense when it came to the acting commander of the 1105th Division, General Long-Legs, who was full of nonsense and fabricated facts!
This "Long-Legged General" is really good at confusing people. He immediately caught the most fatal mistake made by the 1108th Division!
When our 7th Division passed by the perimeter of its position, the 1108th Division turned a deaf ear and showed no intention of stopping it!
General Long-Legs analyzed it righteously and sternly: "The commander of the 1108th Division can be said to be a wolf of ambition, and he has a bad behavior of forming cliques without caring about others! He is intentionally helping the former commander of the 1105th Division to regain face, and he is just waiting to see I, the acting division commander, made a joke, thus forcing the headquarters to release the real sinner of the 1105th Division and continue to command the battle. I have no face at all, but it is a pity for the brothers under my command! What is even more disgusting is that the 1108th Division is obviously You are challenging the authority of our No. 1 Headquarters! You are deliberately embarrassing the commander!"
Ha ha!
Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh. Putting this guy back is really a clever trick. The more such people in the enemy's high-level, the better!
