March 5, 4:17 pm.
The 278th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 27th Army of the Shenzhou Army took the initiative to attack the Eastern Navy.
Not long after the war started, the 278th Regiment discovered that the Donghai Navy's firepower was far inferior to before, and the artillery regiment that was supposed to go into battle did not move at all.
At this time, Kuang Yilong, the leader of the 278th Regiment, finally believed Xiang Yi's words and immediately reported to his superiors, asking other troops to cooperate in the fight and seize this rare fighter opportunity!
At 5:03 p.m., the 2nd Division, 3rd Division of the 27th Army of the Chinese Army and the 1st Division of the 31st Army, a total of more than 28,000 people, launched an attack on the 9th Brigade of the 7th Division of the Eastern Navy.
The 7th Eastern Navy Division is a Class A division, the elite among the elite. The 9th Brigade has nearly 10,000 people. Under normal circumstances, it would require at least 30,000 Chinese troops to compete with it.
But when an entire artillery regiment was suddenly destroyed, the 9th Brigade was also caught off guard.
The biggest advantage of the Eastern Navy over the Chinese Army is its heavy firepower. Now this advantage has been broken. At least on the local battlefield, the Chinese Army, which had been suppressed for many days, finally gained the upper hand!
East China Sea Marine Warfare Command.
Because the combat command center was blown up by Zhao Yan in many places, the East Navy changed its command center.
This command center is in an underground air raid shelter, which can prevent air raids by the Chinese Army, and there is no need to worry about someone coming to assassinate you like Zhao Yan did.
Because of the last assassination incident, the defense of the entire headquarters is now tighter, and the Donglong Society has also sent more experts!
"Commander, Master Ishino has just sent back a telegram. They are not far from Hou Qi and are expected to catch up with them tomorrow."
A subordinate said to Hoshino Hideki.
"Well, tell Master Ishino that I will be waiting for their triumphant return at the headquarters to celebrate their success."
Hoshino Hideki said.
After learning that Zhao Yan and Hou Qi had captured Mo Lifeng, Hoshino Hideki decisively sent a group of masters to intercept the opponent.
Among the experts sent, in addition to Kiyota Masamune and others who had survived the previous battle with Zhao Yan, there were also some strong men newly sent by the East Dragon Society, and the number one man in East China Sea Martial Arts, Ishino Joichi!
People around Hoshino Hideki had objections to him sending Ishino Joichi out, thinking that in this way, the defense force around Hoshino Hideki would be too weak.
But Hoshino insisted.
One Hou Qi, one Zhao Yan, plus Mo Lifeng's own value, these three people are worthy of his heavy bet.
"Commander, the latest telegram!"
A subordinate suddenly handed a newly translated telegram to Hoshino Hideki.
Hoshino Hideki took the telegram and read it, his expression suddenly changed.
The content of the telegram was the news that the artillery wing of the 9th Brigade of the 7th Division had been destroyed, and that the 9th Brigade was being besieged by the Chinese Army.
"Order the 8th Brigade of the 5th Division to immediately advance towards Area 3, and order the First Fleet to send bombers to provide air support to the 9th Brigade."
Hoshino Hideki quickly issued the order.
Just as he was dispatching troops and generals, Lin Shu, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Shenzhou Army on the other side of the river, had also learned of the latest changes on the front line and made a decisive response.
Although this 'evil tiger' said that in the war with the Eastern Navy, all strategies and tactics were secondary, it did not mean that he did not attach importance to strategies and tactics.
On the contrary, from the beginning of the war to the present, the former enemy commander-in-chief has been constantly mobilizing his forces and using all means to compete with the Eastern Navy.
Now that there was such an obvious fighter opportunity on the battlefield, it was certainly impossible for Lin Shu not to catch it.
As a result, Zhao Yan blew up an artillery regiment, which ultimately caused changes in the entire battlefield!
7:19 p.m.
On a mountain ridge, a battalion of the Shenzhou Army is stationed here, and has repelled three attacks by the Eastern Navy.
The attacking Donghai Navy were members of the 8th Brigade of the 5th Division. They were ordered to advance towards Area 3 to support the besieged 9th Brigade.
The Shenzhou Army also responded quickly and sent people to intercept the Donghai Navy who came to support.
Lin Shu knew very well that if there was a large-scale frontal battle, the defense line of the Shenzhou Army might soon be torn apart, allowing the people from the 8th Brigade of the Eastern Navy to break through, so he issued an order for each unit to attack the enemy in stages.
To put it simply, an entire army is dispersed to more than a dozen different areas to block the enemy layer by layer.
Such an order is cruel, because in this way, the number of enemies faced by the Shenzhou Army responsible for blocking the enemy in each area will be several times that of itself!
Lin Shu's order was to trade the lives of some soldiers for time, allowing other troops to have more time to eliminate more of the Eastern Navy's effective forces on local battlefields where they had gained an advantage.
Even if the 10,000 people from the Eastern Navy were replaced by 10,000 people in the end, Lin Shu could accept it!
At this time, a battalion of more than 300 Shenzhou troops on this mountain range faced an attack by more than 2,000 Donghai navy. After suffering more than 100 casualties, they repelled three enemy attacks.
"Battal Commander, when will the reinforcements arrive? Brothers can't hold it anymore!"
On the battlefield, a company commander with a gray face came running to ask his battalion commander.
The battalion commander grabbed his collar: "There are no reinforcements!"
"What?"
"I told you, there are no reinforcements!"
"battalion commander!?"
The company commander's eyes widened, unable to accept this result.
"The order from above is for us to defend this position. As long as the people are there, the position will be there. Do you understand?"
the battalion commander roared.
"."
The company commander was speechless.
"Fuck, I asked you, do you understand?"
".Yes! The people are here and the position is there!"
The company commander repeated the order loudly and then returned to his fighting position.
Soon, the Eastern Navy launched its fourth attack.
More than an hour later, the last few soldiers still alive on the position fired grenades.
boom--
After the huge explosion, all 372 people in the battalion were killed.
Before they all died, this position always belonged to the Shenzhou Army.
The moonlight fell on the mountains that were pockmarked by shells, and blood and corpses were everywhere.
This was just an inconspicuous small position on the entire Lijiang battlefield. The deaths of more than 300 soldiers were ultimately reduced to a line of numbers on a certain battle report.
March 6, 5:17 am.
After a whole night of fierce fighting, the 8th Brigade of the 5th Eastern Navy Division finally succeeded in entering Area 3.
However, due to this night's obstruction, the ninth brigade of the Eastern Navy suffered more than half of its casualties without reinforcements, and it was no longer possible to maintain a complete organization.
The battle loss ratio between the two sides in this battle is close to 1:1. If the battle can continue according to this battle loss ratio, the Eastern Navy will definitely not be able to consume the Shenzhou Army.
This was the most beautiful battle fought by the Chinese Army after the Lijiang Campaign began!
"Hello, I just interviewed General Tang. He said that the opportunity for this victory was because a stranger from our army destroyed an artillery regiment of the Eastern Navy. Do you know this stranger? What is his name?"
In a camp of the 31st Army of the Chinese Army, Xiang Yi was being interviewed by a war reporter.
After persuading the 278th Regiment, he asked the rest to stay, while he found the headquarters of the 31st Army alone.
Because there were problems with the 27th Army, Xiang Yi chose to get in touch with the top management of the 31st Army so that he could play a greater role.
With the proof of this incident, he successfully gained the attention of Tang Ling, the supreme commander of the 31st Army.
In the headquarters of the 31st Army, there are several war reporters from Pearl City, who are responsible for publicizing this battle.
After Zhao Yan started [Road to Glory], he specifically entrusted Xiang Yi to help him become famous if there was a chance.
So Xiang Yi accepted an interview with a war reporter at this time:
"Yes, I am friends with this stranger, his name is Wu Weiguo."
"Can you tell me about Wu Weiguo's deeds?"
"Of course. In fact, Wu Weiguo not only contributed to this battle, he also sneaked into the East China Sea Marine Warfare Command and blew up an arsenal inside."
Xiang Yi began to tell several war reporters about Zhao Yan's deeds.
Soon, these deeds will appear in newspapers and in the streets of Pearl City.
More than half an hour later, Xiang Yi, who had finished the interview, was invited by a soldier to see Tang Ling, the top commander of the 31st Army.
"General Tang, are you looking for me?"
"Well, Xiang Yi, come and see."
In a temporary underground air raid shelter, Tang Ling called Xiang Yi over.
He pointed to the map on the table:
"The Eighth Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Eastern Navy has entered the theater we are responsible for. They came in a hurry to quickly support the Ninth Brigade. There is some disconnect between the regiments. According to intelligence, their The Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Regiment are here, the 1st and 2nd Regiments are here.”
Xiang Yi looked at the map and immediately understood Tang Ling's intention:
"The general wants to draw the attention of this artillery regiment?"
Tang Ling glanced at Xiang Yi appreciatively and nodded:
"I just want to ask you, is it possible for the stranger named Wu Weiguo you mentioned to attack the artillery regiment again?"
"this"
"It is not required that he can destroy the entire artillery regiment this time, even if it is only a part, it will be very beneficial to our next plan!"
Tang Ling looked at Xiang Yi expectantly.
Xiang Yi fell silent.
The Eastern Navy has already destroyed an artillery unit by Zhao Yan, and will definitely take precautions next. It will be very difficult to do the same thing again.
Moreover, Zhao Yan and others are not out of danger yet, and are still being hunted by the Eastern Navy.
"I need to ask his opinion."
Xiang Yi said.
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply."
So Xiang Yi left the air raid shelter, went to a high ground, took out the intercom and contacted a team member, who then contacted Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan, who received the news, had just reunited with Hou Qi at the pre-arranged location.
He hesitated.
The artillery regiment of the 8th Brigade was in the rear, just opposite to the direction in which they broke through.
Mo Lifeng's position can be sensed by the Eastern Navy at any time, so it is impossible for the two of them to take this person to bomb the artillery wing, as that would only expose them in advance.
If Zhao Yan wanted to blow up the artillery regiment, Hou Qi would have to lead Mo Lifeng to break through alone.
But Hou Qi was injured in the previous shelling, and it would be very dangerous to continue to break through without help without Mo Lifeng as a burden!
Xiang Yi told Zhao Yan the results of the past two days and also told him the significance of blowing up the 8th Brigade Artillery Regiment next.
For the entire battle, it might not be worse than bringing Mo Lifeng back to Pearl City.
Of course, for players, completing super S-level missions is obviously more meaningful.
So Xiang Yi let Zhao Yan make his own decision without giving any advice.
"You go do your thing and leave him to me. I will definitely be able to send him to Pearl City."
When Zhao Yan was using the intercom, Hou Qi was also nearby and understood the relationship, so he decisively spoke to Zhao Yan.
"Brother Hou"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I, Hou Qi, can definitely do what I say. This time I am breaking out of the encirclement, not killing people. I just want to leave. How many people in the world can stop me?"
Hou Qi waved his hand, signaling Zhao Yan to get out of here.
"Okay, then we'll see you in Pearl City!"
Zhao Yan no longer hesitated and chose to believe Hou Qi.
"Haha, see you in Pearl City."
Hou Qi smiled boldly.
Zhao Yan turned around and disappeared into a jungle.
Hou Qi took Mo Lifeng on the way home.
In the jungle, a group of people ran very fast.
The first person was a woman wearing a samurai uniform. She was Shiraki Nana who had escaped from Zhao Yan.
She has the ability of [Chasing Souls] and can sense Hou Qi's position, and is a member of the beheading team.
Before the beheading team had time to fight Hou Qi, three of them were killed by Zhao Yan, and their confidence was greatly damaged.
Now the remaining four must continue their mission - to kill Grand Master Hou Qi!
After they experienced Zhao Yan's blow, they certainly would not be arrogant enough to think that only four people could deal with Hou Qi.
The real source of confidence is Ishino Joichi who is traveling with them.
In addition, Donglonghui also sent more than a dozen experts to participate in this operation.
"Miss Baimu, how far are we from Hou Qi?"
Masamu Kiyota asked in the team.
Shiraki Nana closed her eyes and felt for a while, then said: "At the current speed, we will meet each other in three hours at most."
Hearing this, Kiyota Masamune turned to Ishino Joichi beside him and said:
"Master Ishino, according to the information we have received, a man named Pei Deng is also rushing here. He is one of the seven strange people in China and is very powerful. I think we can wait for him to be sure of success. Bigger.”
Ishino Zhang remained expressionless:
"I only have one request. After we meet the other party, let Hou Qi and I fight alone. The rest of you can deal with the other one first."
The last time he fought against Hou Qi at the headquarters was also the first time in his life that he fought against a grandmaster-level opponent, and he lost to Hou Qi.
During this time, he had been simulating a confrontation with Hou Qi in his mind, preparing to win back in the next confrontation.
Hoshino Hideki's request is to let Hou Qi die, but Ishino Joichi wants Hou Qi to die after losing!
"no problem."
Qingtian Zhengmeng agreed immediately, and then said to the others, "Everyone should stop and rest first."
According to the intelligence, the stranger named Pei Deng will definitely arrive today, so Qingda Zhengmeng plans to postpone the encounter with Hou Qi and others as long as possible, waiting for Pei Deng to arrive.
With the help of a strong person of this level, their chances of success will be greater.
