Chapter 824: The Mountain of Bones 33

Just after twelve o'clock, an urgent message was received at the Goltish army headquarters stationed at the pass.

"Commander, I just received news that the Yan army has entered the mountain again. They came in along the main road. They brought a lot of troops this time. They should be the main force." The communications soldier who came down from the highest point of Enzos, the main peak, said nervously.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked gloomy, and Willy was the first to speak:

"Sure enough, after Songlinjian was taken away, the Yan people became more confident. Next, I think they will speed up their advancement..."

Before he could finish his words, Kyle interrupted and said, "That's great. Bringing in the main force will just create an opportunity for us."

"But our heavy artillery must be delivered quickly."

"We can get there before sunset. I've just sent someone to make contact." Willy followed.

"Good! As long as we disperse their army, we can defeat them one by one." Kyle looked stern.

Dinger, who was standing by, looked worried and said, "If we fight like this, I'm afraid it will be a stalemate, with small-scale battles breaking out in many places."

"I still think it would be better to put our forces on those important passes for defensive operations. This will not only consume the enemy's forces, but also provide our soldiers with better bunker protection, which can reduce casualties to a certain extent."

After he finished speaking, Kyle's eyes widened and he asked, "Which mountain infantry division are you from?"

Dingle shook his head: "Sir, I am not from the Mountain Infantry Division, I am..."

Kyle interrupted coldly: "Have you ever fought in a mountain battle?"

Dingle's face froze, and he lowered his head and said, "No, sir."

"Then what are you directing?" Kyle scolded.

Dingle touched his face and shook his head: "It's just a suggestion."

Kyle immediately said:

"I think it was an unwise decision for you to let Harris lead the men to transport the explosives to the main peak. Although the view from the top of the main peak is vast, it would be enough to have people guarding there for surveillance. But can the narrow terrain allow the soldiers to fight there? Even hundreds of people can't stand there. Support and evacuation are very difficult in such a steep terrain."

Dingle replied in a deep voice: "Sir, what I mean is..."

Kyle waved his hand and interrupted again: "I know what you mean. You want to blow it up as a last resort and block all the roads below with falling rocks, right?"

Dingle nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, sir, that is the last resort. If we can't destroy the enemy, we can only cut off the road. At least they can't go to Bocamia from here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyle said with a cold face: "Then have you ever thought that this is equivalent to blocking our way as well?"

"Losing half of the mountain means that the province of Suenham will be in the hands of the Yan people for a long time. When will we be able to take it back?"

"This is better than letting more areas fall..." Dingle said with a gloomy look.

"There is no such possibility! Put away your pessimistic thoughts, we can't be forced to that point!" Kyle immediately scolded.

"Admiral Dillan is still in Pariston with seven divisions. If the situation is critical, they can provide support immediately. But I don't think that will happen. Once the baggage is delivered, they will be able to enter the mountains soon. In addition, you should know that General Saski is on the way with the Seventh Army. They will be able to join us before the end of the month at the earliest, and in early February at the latest."

"With such a large force, no matter what the circumstances, no matter how strong the enemy is, in the end, we will be the victorious side!"

Hearing this, Dingle nodded, looked at Kyle and said, "Okay, sir, but the deployment on the main peak has been almost completed, I think it is necessary to hold back."

"The troops left there will not have much impact on us as a whole."

Kyle crossed his arms and said coldly, "Of course, since it has been arranged, there is no need to withdraw before this war is over."

"But I don't think anyone should even think about cutting off the roads. If the emperor were to come to the battlefield in person, I can't imagine how angry he would be. He will not abandon any of our land, nor will he allow it to be controlled by the enemy."

Dingle hummed and said in a low voice: "Yes, then I hope the next battle will go more smoothly."

Having said that, Dingle looked down the mountain. Although he could not see any trace of anyone, he knew that the soldiers were moving cautiously in some remote and difficult sections of the road.

At the same time, the enemy is also on the march, and a new round of firefight will soon take place. After the battle, we will know who has the stronger combat power in this mountain area.

-

After evening.

The troops led by Qin Ze have already set up camp at the foot of a hillside facing away from the main peak. Before this, the battle groups in the front, flanks, and rear have been tightly defended. Although this area has been consolidated, Qin Ze still maintains the most cautious attitude.

And this place is not even the front line, it is just an area less than four kilometers into the mountain. But at the front line, half an hour before sunset, hundreds of combat teams quietly set out to begin reconnaissance in unexplored areas.

Night reconnaissance is more difficult than daytime reconnaissance, but at the same time it allows for further concealment and mobility. This time is different from the past. Qin Ze plans to let the combat teams advance as deep into the enemy territory as possible to cut off the enemy's defense system and leave some combat teams behind the enemy. Once the war breaks out, they can even attack from the front and back.

But this is of course the most ideal situation. If the enemy forces are large and there are enough ambush locations, then our own in-depth development may end up being isolated and falling into danger.

Therefore, after nightfall, he waited quietly for further information from the signalman.

Soon, after nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Ze walked out of the tent with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, our troops are at the front line and have already..." Qin Ze raised his hand to interrupt the communications soldier who was running over.

"heard it."

Under the night sky, the full moon was shining, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. The mountains, which should have been silent, were now echoing with faint sporadic gunshots.

Two kilometers ahead of the river below Songlinjian, the Yan Army battle group, consisting of hundreds of combat teams, unexpectedly encountered the mountain infantry division sent by Kyle.

The sudden encounter between the two sides immediately ignited the war. Under the cover of their respective bunkers, fighting broke out in many locations and gradually spread to multiple areas in a very short time.

"It seems that they have a lot of troops. Have the reinforcements arrived? Then we have to kill them..."

Qin Ze looked indifferently at the dark road ahead, and then he ordered: "Let the troops on the left and right wings provide support immediately. Kill as many Golts as you see."
