District 9

Tengba once promised that he would hand over some of his rights to Meng Xi, and facts have proved that this was indeed not perfunctory.

After the internal meeting of the Tengba Army, Tengba mobilized some of his most elite troops, namely the Baku Independent First Brigade, the Second Independent Brigade, and the former Baku First Division.

The strength of the three combat units plus one unit totals about 25,000 people. Because the Tengba clan has recently lost its main city, some troops cannot be replenished, so they are currently under full strength.

In addition, Tengba was also afraid that the generals from the three major regions would not be able to command the wild local officers. For this reason, Tengba specially sent his chief of staff, Bablu, and some generals from the staff department to help issue orders. , execute tactical objectives.

It can be seen that Tengba Jun is really good at fighting, but he can face his shortcomings, knows how to hug his thighs, and has a humble attitude at critical moments. From this point of view alone, the upper echelons of the Tengba clique are more confident than many Chinese warlords in the three major regions. At least they do not engage in internal discrimination and struggle while serving food.

But the Chinese are different. Whether it is the previous Shen Clan, He Clan, Feng Clan, Zhou Clan, or even the Sichuan Mansion, Eighth District, Chen Clan and other forces, while they cooperate with each other, there are also certain differences. They despise the chain and often have conflicts, blame each other, and even criticize each other during cooperation.

This fighting gene is indeed our shortcoming.

…

After Meng Xi's strategic proposal was approved by Tengba, an elite force of more than 20,000 people moved forward directly and left the Draken Mountains area to build an emergency defense zone about 200 kilometers away from the hurricane's mouth.

This is the starting point of the war, so it is necessary to introduce the basic terrain of the Draken Mountains.

First of all, the Draken Mountains cover an area of ​​approximately more than 249,000 hectares. If converted into kilometers, it starts from the northeast and ends in the southwest, covering approximately 2,500 kilometers.

This value is very exaggerated and terrifying, and the Draken Mountains are backed by the old Indian Ocean. If you move northeast or southwest, you will also enter the surrounding small mountain ranges. In short, the terrain is very complex. There are many mountains and steep slopes. Often, just after passing a mountain, you will face a steep slope at a 45-degree angle. Therefore, from a military perspective, this place has a strong geographical advantage.

When the Tengba Army chose to withdraw to this side, it was because they felt that their troops were hidden in the mountains, and the Red Scarf Army, Feng Clan, and He Clan were unable to do anything for the time being.

The current location of Tengba Army is in the center of the Draken Mountains. This place has two natural mountain entrances, one is the Hurricane Mouth and the other is the Torsay Pass.

The entrance area of ​​the hurricane mouth is more than half the size of Torsay, so this is a very important defensive location for the Tengba Army. If the enemy troops come in from here, it will mean that the gate is lost.

However, according to common sense, if it is a defensive battle with a disadvantage, a normal commander should have the main force entrenched at the entrance of the hurricane and rely on the geographical location of the entrance to defend, so that his troops can maximize the effect in the battle.

But what surprised Tengba and other generals was that Meng Xi did not choose to defend at the entrance of the hurricane. Instead, he chose to lead more than 20,000 people to proactively attack. As a result, Chief of Staff Bablu was also very confused. He really didn't understand what role more than 20,000 people could play once they left the geographical advantage of the hurricane mouth and entered the plains to fight.

Once surrounded or crushed, more than 20,000 people would be in vain!

However, doubts remained doubts, but Bablu still strictly implemented Meng Xi's combat ideas without even asking any questions. Because he felt that maybe he was relatively weak here and had less experience in regimental battles, so he couldn't keep up with the thinking of the generals in the three regions. If he beeped too much, it would only reflect his ignorance and stupidity.

…

On the front side of the Draken Mountains, in the plain defense area.

Meng Xi wore a general's woolen coat, held a telescope to observe the deployment of the forward defense area, and asked in a low voice: "Chief of Staff Xiao, what do you think of this battle?"

"I don't think it can be stopped." Xiao Ke said bluntly: "To be honest, I can't figure out why you want to go out of the hurricane mouth to meet the enemy. This is equivalent to indirectly giving up the geographical advantage."

"Because of personal reasons." Meng Xi turned to look at him, frowned and asked, "You think it will definitely fail, right?"

"If the more than 20,000 people are the troops of the Eighth District, there will still be a fight. I also support the troops coming out of the hurricane. But it is very unfortunate that we are commanding Tengba's troops." Xiao Ke said bluntly: "They With their combat power, I feel that they simply cannot withstand the pull and attack of the Feng faction. The intention of the opposite party is very obvious, which is to crush the Tengba army before our large force reaches the fourth area and not give us a chance to breathe, so they This attack will be much more violent than before."

"The more pessimistic we are, the less we can hold back and fight." Meng Xi looked at the generals of the Eighth District and said: "Right here, do your best to engage the enemy. Before the enemy's main force arrives, the defense zone must be built as strong as possible."

Xiao Ke was a little confused: "Are you really planning to stop the enemy here?"

Meng Xi picked up the telescope again and asked in a low voice: "Who is the commander of the frontline troops on the opposite side?"

"Feng Lei." Yang Liandong replied.

"...Hmm." After Meng Xi nodded, he didn't explain anything. He just urged: "Order our accompanying officers and soldiers to all go down to the grassroots to help the Tengba Clan build a defense zone. They can't do this job." major."

"yes!"

All the generals saluted.

After completing the observation at the forward position, Meng Xi immediately contacted Ma Laoer and asked him to transfer some information from the military intelligence archives in District 9.

…

On the march.

Feng Lei held a huge satellite phone, pulled his neck and asked: "Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed. The commander who sent troops to the hurricane port is Meng Xi. Many generals from the three regions have also joined the staff." The other party replied.

"Did Tengba send Meng Xi here?" Feng Lei asked again.

"We don't know that yet."

"It is very important for me to inquire about this news." After Feng Lei gave the order, he hung up the phone directly, looked down at his watch and said: "The main forward division rested in place for six hours, recovered, and launched a general offensive. .”

An hour later, Feng Ji personally called and ordered Feng Lei in a solemn tone: "The commanding officers on the other side are all from the three major districts. You must cheer up and don't be greedy for credit or rush in... ….”

At the same time, Ma Laoer had already ordered the person in charge of the Fengbei Military Intelligence Station to start collecting a lot of old information.

…

The next day, noon.

The First Field Army of the Feng Regiment, under the command of Feng Lei, finally entered the attack range.

In the command room, Feng Lei put his hands on his hips and shouted on the communication phone: "There is no need to ask for air support from the European Union Region 1, and there is no need to assemble the artillery regiment to clear the ground. 79th Division, just pounce on me and launch a series of echelon attacks first. I want to see if Tengba’s combat effectiveness has improved with Meng Xi in his hands.”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Feng's tank regiment and armored regiment began to charge.

"Boom!"

Bursts of gunfire sounded, and the battle in the four districts officially began.
