Chapter 1209: Same direction

"We attacked so many times, did we not take that high ground?" At this time. A brigadier general asked.

"Sir, you've seen it too. The 223 Heights is particularly difficult to fight, and the Qi army is very tightly defended. They fight us desperately. Such a fight can only be defeated if you don't want your life. We can hardly believe it. They will do this." A lieutenant colonel explained bitterly at this time.

All the officers present were silent at this time. They may already understand what kind of war they will face. Although Qi Jun was in a state of exhaustion. But Zhao Jun is no better. but. The fighting will of the Qi army still exists. This may be the so-called morale, and Qi people's fighting spirit of daring to death makes Zhao Jun feel very tricky. Face such an opponent. They don't even know what to do?

Just when Zhao Jun didn't know how to deal with the enemy in front of him. But the Qi army is seizing the time to gather their troops.

"These are my Tian family private soldiers. Although the number is only more than 500 people." At this time, Tian Heng stood on a high platform and looked at his private guards assembled. These guards are all elite troops. They are equipped with the most advanced weapons. Rifles without magazines, pistols that can be fired continuously, and grenades imported from Qin's secret channels. And their own explosive packs. These explosive packs use a detonator to ignite. This way is safer and more reliable.

This is a truly elite force, and their fighting will is very tenacious. The Qi army has the habit of establishing small teams for assault operations. And Tian Heng's elite force is equivalent to the formed special operations force of Qi Juncheng. Compared to other armies. This is considered advanced. Although the Qin State has a sharp guard. However, there was no organizational unit for special operations. Not only that, there was no special weapons and equipment for an elite unit. In terms of use, the Qin Army did not have such a special combat case. In short, the Qin Army was in this regard. Be behind the Qi army.

"There are five hundred people, plus two thousand-man teams. That's enough," said a counselor on the side.

"Enough." Tian Heng said at this time.

These five hundred people immediately drove to a flat ground twenty miles east of Yantou. The terrain there is flat. Both Qi Jun and Zhao Jun built a certain number of trenches there for defense. But the strange thing is that neither side attacked from there. The Qi army was unable to launch an offensive at first. But Zhao Jun is in the consideration of inertial thinking. They believe that they should occupy the commanding heights from the beginning. Because the existence of commanding heights is very important to their artillery use. Therefore, they believe that the first to occupy 223 highland, in the Qi army they called the highland of Yantou Mountain.

Therefore, they ignored the strategy of bypassing this mountain from the beginning.

However, Qi Jun first noticed this and Tian Heng believed that the current pressure must be resolved. Action must be taken. Not being able to defend this high ground, Zhao Jun's pressure is very great. If you just stick to it, you won’t be able to defend it sooner or later, so he advocated launching an attack. But the location of the attack is chosen. He took a fancy to the place twenty miles east of Yantou Mountain. This place is where the defenses of both sides are weak. Because here is basically out of the war zone. And neither side has a lot of troops hoarding here.

The most important thing is that this is flat ground. Just after the breakthrough. Quickly penetrate backwards along the flat ground to attack Zhao Jun's rear. Zhao Jun's rear is tight and will inevitably retreat. At this time, Qi Jun is taking advantage of the momentum to propose peace talks, and the two sides will certainly be able to reach an agreement.

This is Tian Heng's idea. It is also the goal that Qi Jun most wants to achieve. Whether this goal can be achieved or not depends on whether one can be in an advantageous position in the next battle, because, with a favorable bargaining chip, at this time, if he takes the initiative to propose peace talks, the chances of success are obviously higher.

However, Tian Heng's thoughts were also taken into consideration by Zhao Jun's generals at this time.

"Since we can't take the 223 Heights, why don't we choose another direction to attack?" the major general asked after checking all the battle reports.

At this time, all the staff members were made by this amazing proposal. Look at me. I look at you, obviously they haven't thought about it this way.

The role of capturing the commanding heights is really too strong. However, with the application of some new technologies. For example, hot air balloons and the increase in the power of artillery, especially the use of fixed-mounted shells, no longer have a strong dependence on the commanding heights as before, but now. They did not break this mode of thinking. Instead, think in accordance with their model.

"Sir, without the cover of artillery, I think it will be very difficult for infantry to attack on flat ground." At this time, a lieutenant colonel put forward his own views.

"Moreover, we have no extra troops." Another major promptly put forward his opinion.

After many attacks. Zhao Jun's staff attrition is very large. Offensive operations during this period. Very unfavorable, because with the upgrade of weapons, it has created an increasingly unfavorable attack. As long as the defending side relies on a favorable offensive, it is difficult for the offensive side to have a great advantage in the case of equal weapons. Moreover, the organization of this period also presented a very big problem. Infantry occupies a large proportion of the entire army. This ratio was 75% in subsequent data surveys.

The infantry ratio is very serious. On the contrary, the artillery, engineers, and communications units occupy a relatively small number in the overall ratio. The ratio of cavalry is relatively high. In the future battles, the cavalry did not perform as well as the infantry. As in the First World War, they will be reduced to the point of artillery cooking.

It is for this reason. The arms are excessively single. Caused high casualties. Moreover, the advancement of weapons, especially the construction of trenches, is conducive to the defensive side, and it is difficult for the offensive side to occupy the opponent's advantageous stronghold without the support of other arms.

"I thought about this. However, we have to consider another factor. This factor is that we have to end the war as soon as possible. Therefore, time and time have become very important. We did not consider it. And the other party, the other party did not consider it. ." The major general said at this time.

"The enemy's preparation is also insufficient, which has caused us to have a great suddenness in the battle. With the help of suddenness, we can directly hit the opponent by surprise." The major general continued.

"The entire defense of the Qi army is very large. We only need to concentrate our forces to attack the other side at one point. We can have an absolute advantage, and then use this advantage to expand the results, then we can put the Qi army in a disadvantageous position. This is very beneficial to our next peace talks. In this way, we can gain the initiative." The major general said confidently.

"So, General, where do you think our offensive point should be? Where are our troops?" At this time, a wounded lieutenant colonel asked. He led his army through several attacks, all of which were repelled by the Qi army. He desperately wants to attack his opponent.

"This, direction, I think we should attack here." At this time, the major general pointed the target in the direction of Tian Heng's attack. Both of them unanimously chose this easy-to-attack place. At this time, they did not expect that their armies would collide together.

"As for the military strength, we will draw two infantry regiments from the country, or draw an infantry regiment and an infantry battalion from other places to participate. I believe these forces are enough." The major general said at this time.

"I have sent a telegram to the country. I believe that the train will transport these people over, and we still have a battalion reserve that is useless. At this time, I think it's time to use it," the major general said at this time.

At this time, all the officers present didn't know what to say. They themselves don't know what to say. They think this plan is feasible. But they didn't know what the result was.

"General, do we really want to negotiate with Qi State?" At this time, Li Zuoche asked Li Mu.

"Yes. There must be peace talks. The war can no longer be fought. The Qin family has affected Zhao, South Korea, and Yan. The situation is not so bad now. Our military expenditure comes from Qin, and Qin’s loans stop, and our war will just It has to stop. The internal chaos in Qin State naturally affects our Zhao State. The war must stop." Li Mu said firmly.

"But, we still have hope of winning." Li said by car at this time.

"The war is not to win. It is to survive." Li Mu said at this time.

"Qi has fought the war for more than two years. They can't continue. And our Zhao country, the same is true, the situation is not even as good as Qi. This continues. Both will fail miserably. The current biggest enemy is Qin. China, Qin is in chaos within the country. It is a good time for me to take this opportunity to recuperate. The prolonged war will bring down any powerful country." Li Mu said at this time.

"En." Li Zuoche seemed to understand something at this time. War is a continuation of politics. Now the war has brought the two countries to the limit. Neither country can afford the huge war expenses. Therefore, it is time for the war to stop.

It's not just Zhao Guo. The same is true of Yan Guo. And South Korea has quietly withdrawn all their troops at this time, and they are no longer interested in this war. However, the army of Yan State also actively stopped its advance because of the excessive consumption. For them, regaining the land is a huge loss-making business that consumes power.
