Chapter 467: Battle of the Gods
Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping couldn't help laughing.
They didn't expect that this battle would go so smoothly.
The sharp offensive directly destroyed the enemy's will.
They only had 8,000 troops, but the enemy actually misunderstood that they had four or five artillery divisions and 200,000 troops.
But it was good that they could force the other side to surrender directly, and avoid fighting a city attack and defense war.
Street fighting, even now, is a headache.
Because street fighting is a battle between streets and houses, and the place where it usually takes place is inside the city. Its notable feature is that the enemy and us are in close combat and close combat, which is very cruel. Moreover, the enemy and us are mixed and intertwined, which is very dangerous.
According to the strategy set before, no matter what house it is, it will be directly destroyed with artillery to reduce the loss of soldiers.
And their original plan was to occupy this military fortress in fifteen days.
Now that the enemy has surrendered, there is less consumption of bullets, fewer casualties of soldiers, and time can be saved.
"Old Zhao, this battle was a great pleasure. Haha, I didn't expect the enemy commander to make a misjudgment!" Li Fuguo laughed.
Zhao Guoping: "Old Li, you have to call the headquarters immediately and ask them to send troops to take over. We can't divide our forces to garrison here."
"Take advantage of this rare opportunity and go directly south to capture Baosheng County and Wen'an County!" Zhao Guoping said.
The heavy synthetic brigade is used for attack, not for cleaning up the battlefield, and it can't be divided to garrison here.
Leave this matter to other troops.
"Well, I will contact the headquarters immediately." Li Fuguo nodded, and then contacted the headquarters as soon as possible to report the situation.
The headquarters is located in a hidden place in the mountains.
When it was learned that the heavy synthetic brigade had taken Laojie, the entire headquarters was silent.
You know, there are more than 30,000 enemy troops there.
According to Li Fuguo's report, there are a full 35,000 troops, plus the militia, which is more than 40,000 troops.
As a result, the heavy synthetic brigade fought for half a day and completed the combat goal.
"It's amazing, what kind of magical battle did Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping fight!" The commander couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't understand how the heavy synthetic brigade fought and achieved such a great result in one go.
The chief of staff shook his head and said: "The order was just conveyed, and they arrived at the battlefield the next day and launched an attack in the morning. Other troops can't do this speed!"
"Now we have to send troops to receive and guard the prisoners. There are nearly 30,000 prisoners. They can't guard them!" said the chief of staff.
The commander nodded. This battle made him understand that the so-called 8000V35000 was really my advantage.
Offensive warfare, not defensive warfare, can win with fewer troops and achieve such a hearty victory. This was simply unimaginable before.
On the other hand, the heavy synthetic brigade has divided half of its troops and continued to move south to Baosheng County.
The straight-line distance is only 26 kilometers, but the actual distance is 40 kilometers.
The roads here are very ordinary.
The Type 80 main battle tank was driving and directly crushed the road surface.
If it was a wheeled armored vehicle, it would be difficult to move forward in this situation.
However, the advantage of tracked armored vehicles is that they can adapt to complex terrain and have strong off-road capabilities.
It's just that the speed is not that fast.
The news has not yet reached Baosheng County, and the soldiers are at the gate of the city. The Type 80 main battle tank blasted open the city gate with one shot and drove straight in.
In the evening, the battle was over.
After the militia arrived, Zhao Guoping handed over the prisoners and military fortresses to the militia, and led the other half of the troops south to meet Li Fuguo.
In addition, a large amount of supplies were supplied.
That night, the combined brigade rested in Baosheng County and replenished ammunition and supplies.
Subsequently, Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping held a command meeting to deploy the next battle.
In theory, from the perspective of military security, the high ground on the right should be taken first.
In this offensive route, the high ground on the left is under the control of our army, and the rest is plains with no danger to defend. On the right is the Huanglian Mountains, which is under the control of the enemy.
The Huanglian Mountains stretch for about 210 kilometers, and the main peak, Fansipan Peak, is 3,142 meters above sea level.
To the east of the Huanglian Mountains are Lao Cai Province and Yen Bai Province, and to the west are Lai Chau Province, Dien Bien Province, and Son La Province.
However, they plan to continue southward, and then divide the Huanglian Mountains into two in Wenpan County and Shenyuan County, where there is a passage with an altitude of about 400 meters.
Then they will remove the high ground on the north side.
Otherwise, it will always be a hidden danger.
Li Fuguo made this bold decision because the high ground there is about 25 kilometers away from the traffic line and is beyond the coverage of artillery fire.
Wen'an County.
"Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~"
The shells kept falling, killing one enemy after another.
The combined brigade advanced in battle formation, and tanks and self-propelled artillery fired while moving forward.
They kept bombarding the enemy's defensive positions.
The heavy combined brigade has completed the encirclement of Wen'an County, and the enemy has no way to escape.
The special forces used the local language to persuade the enemy to surrender, using a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other to break the enemy's will.
This county has 3,000 troops.
Under the sharp attack of the heavy combined brigade, it is shaky.
There is no attack on civilian houses, all attacks are on military targets.
The life of the tank main gun barrel is limited, but Liu Tao repaired these barrels, which are enough to support the battle.
Sure enough, not long after, the heavy synthetic brigade broke through the city gate and directly entered the city.
That day, there was no more gunfire in the city, let alone artillery fire.
The heavy synthetic brigade directly implemented military control here.
At night, the temporary command post.
Zhao Guoping looked at the statistics and shook his head. The results were brilliant, but the consumption was also very large.
More than 10,000 ordinary tank shells, 300 tank armor-piercing shells, more than 7,000 rockets, and more than 30,000 other shells were consumed.
This kind of shell consumption is only for the heavy synthetic brigade. If it were other infantry divisions, they would not be willing to consume it like this.
As for bullets, one million bullets of various types were consumed.
"If the factory director knew about this, he would definitely scold us as prodigal women." Zhao Guoping smiled bitterly.
Li Fuguo said: "No matter how much the consumption is, it is worth it. Otherwise, if the time is dragged on, the consumption may not be small, and the casualties of the soldiers will be much greater!"
In terms of manpower, the enemy still has a huge advantage.
The enemy has a total of 500,000 troops, distributed everywhere, plus the militia, there are at least 700,000.
And they have more than 30,000 regular troops, less than 35,000. Including the militia, there are less than 100,000 people in total.
The disparity in manpower, the ratio of the enemy and our forces is 7:1!
If the war is deadlocked and the enemy sends reinforcements, it will fall into a brutal war of attrition.
Li Fuguo does not want to see this kind of war of attrition.
What he wants is to defeat them one by one, rather than facing the absolute manpower advantage of the enemy.
Otherwise, no matter how fierce the artillery fire is, it will be difficult to defeat the opponent.
After all, it is not so easy for them to replenish ammunition, and they may be attacked by the opponent.
