Chapter 688: Wacheng! The Tiger Guards want to take the arsenal!
Valley Mountain.
"The Humen Army has pushed all its troops forward..."
Zhang Xinli was observing the battlefield situation with a telescope in his hand, his brows furrowed, a hint of worry in his eyes as he murmured.
There are more than 100,000 troops, but the entire logistics department has less than 3,000 people to transport ammunition.
Moreover, most of the ammunition was given to the artillery, and only some soldiers on the front line were allocated bullets...
Even so, the artillery bombardment and charge of the entire Tiger Guards Army seem to have no effect at the moment, but that doesn't mean there will be no impact later.
The artillery fire at this time not only did not weaken, but was stronger than before. You must know that if the Tiger Guards did not have the assistance of artillery fire, or if a unit was out of ammunition, it would be a devastating blow.
"Why not save ammunition..." Zhang Xinli muttered in his heart, unable to understand for a moment.
But when he was thinking, he heard He Cheng's urgent voice.
"Commander-in-Chief, the Second Division of the Tiger Guards begins its attack! The Fifth Division of the Tiger Guards begins its advance."
"The whole division, follow up!" Zhang Xinli gave the order.
The full-scale battle broke out in Gushan, with six divisions in two directions and more than 100,000 people fighting on this battle line that stretched for seven or eight kilometers.
With the middle road as the clear dividing line, on the right wing mountain battlefield, the 1st Division was the main attack, while the 4th and 21st Divisions provided fire support in the rear.
On the left wing, the 2nd Division was the main attacking force, with the 5th and 30th Divisions following in the rear.
The entire battlefield centered around the valley and mountains, advancing westward in the region of Edom.
If this kind of tactical arrangement was made by someone else, he would definitely think that it was a reckless way of fighting and had no brains at all. However, this was the tactical style of the Tiger Guards, and it was formulated by Lin Tianchen.
Zhang Xinli pondered for a long time but still couldn't get the answer.
"Even though the logistics are insufficient, the Lin army is still launching heavy artillery bombardments with all its might. What exactly is the Lin army trying to do?" As a commander, Zhang Xinli clearly judged the predicament that the Humen army was facing.
But he also knew very well that Lin Tianchen would never do anything without a purpose.
On the battlefield before them, the 1st and 2nd Divisions were like arrows shot from bowstrings, charging straight towards the Gushan position!
It's like two torrents on both sides of the valley and the mountain.
Flames began to burn on the hillside, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Tiger Guards crossed over directly.
What surprised Zhang Xinli was that these two world-famous divisions did not stay for too long after launching the attack, but rushed towards the gap frantically.
Zhang Xinli felt like...
Breakout!
"Chief Commander, the strategic target of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Tiger Guards Army doesn't seem to be Gushan..." He Cheng naturally saw it as well, his expression paused, and asked in a low voice.
Because according to the charge of the 1st and 2nd Divisions, combined with the artillery support of the Tiger Guards, they should have cleared the defense of Gushan, fought with the Japanese, and cooperated with several divisions to start clearing the Japanese on each hill.
Attack quickly and fight slowly, clearing Gushan step by step, but now he doesn't want to linger in the battle, he just goes through Gushan and rushes to the back of Gushan.
"Map." Zhang Xinli did not respond directly, but spoke seriously.
He Cheng quickly spread out a map and Zhang Xinli quickly searched on it.
But the more he looked, the more confused he became, because behind Gushan, there was absolutely no army that could pass through.
Because this valley and mountain are right in the middle of this important traffic route, the purpose of starting a battle here is nothing more than to open up the entrance and exit of Diandi.
Zhang Xinli was thinking quickly.
"Two divisions are raiding from the southwest... and there are planes!"
"Are there Tiger Guards troops behind Gushan? But how will they get there, and where will they appear..."
Zhang Xinli kept muttering, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and looked at Teng Zhong...
Strictly speaking, it should be the entrance to Savage Mountain.
Looking down the map step by step, at this moment, the originally scattered fragments seemed to have found a splicing point, focusing on the location of Fengling on the map.
"That group of warriors marched through the Savage Mountains..."
Zhang Xinli subconsciously glanced at the scar on his hand, and memories he didn't want to recall attacked him: poisonous insects, miasma, the primeval forest without sunlight, and getting lost while walking...
Crossing the land of death, and achieving this in such a short time, means that they were well prepared.
"After Fengling came out..."
Zhang Xinli kept looking around Fengling. After eliminating many impossible targets, gradually only one was left.
"Wacheng!! The Tiger Guards want to take the arsenal!"
Zhang Xinli felt that all the information gathered at this moment made him extremely clear. He arranged a force to enter the Wild Man Mountain from Tengzhong and then confront Gushan...
This is actually Lin Tianchen’s strategy. He probably wants to establish a complete industrial base.
"Chief Engineer, are you saying that the 1st and 2nd Divisions are going to Wacheng?" He Cheng was stunned and spoke in disbelief.
Gushan's actions went from harassment to confrontation, and now to all-out war, with the 1st and 2nd Divisions infiltrating into Wacheng. This means that the moment Gushan's 1st Division arrived, Lin Tianchen had already planned today's battle.
"It's definitely Wacheng. The troops from Savage Mountain have come out..."
Zhang Xinli started with great confidence. Now the artillery fire was poured down with all his might in order to create an environment for the 1st and 2nd Divisions to break through.
He Cheng didn't say anything, his eyes unconsciously looked at Wa City on the map.
The central part of Dian.
economic center.
An important industrial city.
This city has too many titles. If we can really control the industry here, the Tiger Army will no longer have any worries.
Then continue south and take over the coastal areas of Dian.
He Cheng felt his scalp tingling as he thought about this. This was no longer a battle in Yunnan, but it was possible that Lin Tianchen would radiate throughout Southeast Asia.
If the Tiger Guards, sweeping across the country from north to south, had a base and ammunition supply, their combat effectiveness would be enough to establish themselves in this place, and they would be the King of Southeast Asia!
"Tell the entire division not to save ammunition and to do their best to cover the Second Division's escape!" Zhang Xinli knew that Lin Tianchen's desperate bet this time was a gamble, and now he could only follow suit.
The bet is that the troops stationed in Savage Mountain can reach Wa City and keep the arsenal.
The bet was that the 1st and 2nd Divisions stationed in Gushan could penetrate into Wacheng.
Looking back at the establishment of dynasties, the Battle of Panyang Lake and the Defense of Hongdu in the Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Hulao in the prosperous Tang Dynasty...
These were the battles that laid the foundation for the strong Ming Dynasty and prosperous Tang Dynasty.
After the battle of Gushan and the capture of Wa City, the Huben Army will undergo a complete qualitative change. From a force that has always been nicknamed a guerrilla force, it will have its own base and its own arsenal, and will truly stand proudly in the world.
"Yes!" He Cheng's expression instantly became serious. After all, they had already decided to go out with the Huben Army.
"Come at me!"
"Cover the Second Division's penetration!"
