In the Battle of Hongcheng, Ding Boyan, commander of the First Army, did a stupid thing and transferred the third division to leave the front line privately, which caused the entire frontline battle situation to collapse. The Steel Alliance suffered a huge defeat in the Battle of Hongcheng and almost failed to save their pants. .
The Second Army, which was also the mainstay of the front line, was forcibly ordered to leave the rear behind other units.
It was precisely because of this arrangement that the two Class A divisions under the Second Army were beaten so hard that they almost had their designations cancelled.
After this battle, Pang Kaijiang was extremely angry!
Most of the family fortune he had accumulated over the years was destroyed, which directly led to a rapid decline in his status within the entire Northern Steel Alliance.
Pang Kaijiang urgently needed to find something to supplement his strength in order to regain his strength...
Just when he was in a critical condition and sought medical treatment, a big deal was thrown out within the Iron Alliance: Who can wipe out the third division of the ??? Qualified for Yucheng, which used to be the base and supply area of the Third Division.
There is no doubt that Pang Kaijiang is interested in this piece of fat.
Yucheng is adjacent to Pangkaijiang's own defense area. The radiation there is weak, the land is relatively fertile, and crops can be grown. It is a rare production supply area.
In the past, when Ding Boyan was still there, Pang Kaijiang would not dare to covet this piece of fat even if he had the courage to do so.
Now Ding Boyan was designed to be trapped by Marshal Zhu and the top officials of the committee, and then publicly tried and executed... This gave Pang Kaijiang the opportunity to get involved in this land.
so!
When the Iron Alliance issued a reward order, Pang Kaijiang was the first to stand up.
Although the Second Army is currently weak, Pang Kaijiang still does not want to give up.
Pang Kaijiang understood that if he gave up this opportunity to supplement, he would face the dilemma of never being able to return to his heyday.
therefore!
Pang Kaijiang led his two divisions, the 7th and 8th divisions, straight into the wilderness.
Originally, according to Pang Kaijiang's plan.
The Third Division, which has lost the support of Ding Boyan, is something that he can hold in his hand. When he brings troops this time, he will definitely be able to sweep away the fallen leaves with the force of the breeze, directly plow the courtyard and sweep the holes, and wipe out the Third Division.
In Pang Kaijiang's opinion, a group of bereaved dogs are not enough to compete with him.
However!
What Pang Kaijiang never imagined was...
He actually couldn't even enter the Tuodi Wasteland and was stuck on the boundary river defense line for several months.
The soldiers of the third division actually know how to fight!
In his early years in the First Army, Zuo Zhen was relatively inconspicuous, and was completely overshadowed by Ding Boyan and other division commanders. He did not expect that his use of troops would be so powerful.
What he is encountering now is completely beyond Pang Kaijiang's imagination.
It was supposed to be a script for him to sweep across the wasteland, but something went wrong at the beginning.
The large troops were blocked on the boundary river, and the two sides fought a protracted war of attrition...
A war of attrition is just a war of attrition.
Pang Kaijiang thought that with the support of Tianshui Town and the material supply within the alliance, he would be able to kill Zuo Zhen.
But as the war progressed, Pang Kaijiang gradually realized that Zuo Zhen might have completed the integration of Tuodi Wasteland.
Otherwise, this group of people would not have so many resources to consume on their own.
…
"Report to the commander that the front line has been defeated again."
The staff officer under his command looked like he was mourning for his concubine.
"Let Chen Zishi come to see me!" Pang Kaijiang was furious.
This was the first time they had attacked the Jiehe Dam defense line, but they still failed.
Before the staff officer could call for help, Chen Zishi, commander of the Seventh Division, had already walked into the camp cursing.
"Military seat, there is no way to continue fighting like this. Zuo Zhen's guys are guarding him tightly, so we can't defeat him at all."
Chen Zishi, whose military uniform was stained with blood, threw his hat on the table and cursed.
Looking at his right-hand man, Pang Kaijiang sighed and said, "Go and call my brother Li, let's discuss it."
"No need to call me all the way, I'm already here!"
The commander of the Eighth Division, Li Linggang, appeared in the tent.
As soon as the old military leader sat down, he was very unwilling to give Pang Kaijiang face, and directly lectured: "Xiao Pang, we can't fight this battle like this. If it continues, Zuo Zhen will not be defeated, but we ourselves will be."
The commander of the Eighth Division, Li Linggang, was in his early fifties, more than ten years older than Pang Kaijiang.
Others dare not call Pang Kai Jiang Xiaopang directly, but Li Linggang can.
Because when Pang Kaijiang joined the army, Li Linggang was Pang Kaijiang's instructor.
However, after twenty years of military career, Li Linggang became Pang Kaijiang's subordinate.
The reason is that the Pang family is a behemoth in the Northern Iron and Steel Alliance, while Li Linggang is just a grassroots person who has been promoted step by step through his military exploits.
So, the end of someone's life is just the starting point for others.
However, the military has its own habits, and Li Linggang was not so polite to Pang Kaijiang.
"Old squad leader, you don't know something. I'm riding a tiger now and it's hard to get off!" Pang Kaijiang sighed and said: "When the war has reached this point, why don't I want to withdraw my troops? But the problem is also in front of me... I was The one who issued the military order to the committee...if I withdraw my troops now, will I become the second Ding Boyan and be used for surgery by those guys who are already red-eyed?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Linggang also stopped.
Li Linggang was a pure soldier and did not consider political strife.
But Li Linggang is not stupid. He immediately understood the danger contained in it.
"If you withdraw your troops hastily, you may be in catastrophe, but if you don't withdraw your troops, you will definitely be wasted here." Chen Zishi smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, this is a dead end for you????????????" ????… Can you surrender and lose half of it?”
Pang Kaijiang sighed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I still need to take care of my mother at home, and the family still needs someone to take care of it, I would have wanted to rebel."
To be honest, since the defeat of the war, the purges within the Iron Alliance have begun to intensify.
This level of indiscriminate purging makes even the children of high-ranking families like Pang Kaijiang feel frightened.
They were so jealous that they didn't recognize anyone.
Just when Pang Kaijiang was at a loss what to do, the staff officer's voice came from outside the tent: "Generals, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."
"Who?" Pang Kaijiang asked.
"He's from the Gongsun family in Tianshui Town."
The staff officer replied respectfully.
"Gongsun's family?" Pang Kaijiang's face showed a look of joy when he heard this: "Are you here to bring me food and grass supplies?"
The staff officer shook his head in confusion: "Looks like he came alone..."
"Alone?" Pang Kaijiang asked: "What are you doing alone? Forget it, just call me in."
So Gongsun Shu strolled into the camp.
"See you generals." Gongsun Shu looked at the generals with a complicated expression.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?" Pang Kaijiang looked arrogant.
Pang Kaijiang, who was born into a noble family, naturally looked down upon the guys in the wasteland.
Gongsun Shu still looked like a scared pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
"Generals, I have a message for you on behalf of the people on the other side of the river." Gongsun Shu nodded and bowed.
