Chapter 643 Facing More Enemies
Luosha's territory is also relatively large. When the two armies went out to attack others, Li Shaoyi could no longer hear the sound of artillery in Qielanjia.
There are reconnaissance planes flying over the airport one after another. In short, we must ensure that there are always reconnaissance planes in the surrounding area. Otherwise, it will be easy to lose the movements of the Rakshasa army. If our combat troops outside are surrounded, it will be a big loss.
"Commander-in-Chief, what are you thinking about?"
When Zhang Jiahua came in just now, Li Shaoyi was looking at the sand table in front of him. Now it has been more than ten minutes, and Li Shaoyi is still staring at the sand table in front of him. Could it be that he has other ideas?
"I have a hypothesis in my mind. Look at these armies nearby. This shows that the Rakshasa army doesn't want these regiments to be eaten by us. Although they have basically been eaten now, there are still some Rakshasa troops in our encirclement, and their surrounding supporters have also arrived..."
Li Shaoyi pointed to several arrows on the map. After a series of battles, Guo Feng had already met up with Yao Dazhu. The two regiments were currently surrounding more than a thousand Luosha people.
Their actions were swift enough. Within a few dozen hours, they wiped out five Rakshasa infantry regiments. At this moment, the Rakshasa army was intensifying its attack from three directions to the north of them. Judging from the current situation, the total strength exceeded three infantry divisions.
"Commander-in-Chief, you want to surround them and attack the reinforcements? But it seems that's not possible. There are only more than a thousand Rakshasa troops in our encirclement. They are not enough for the two of them to fight. It will take at most two hours, and they will probably be eaten up."
Zhang Jiahua stared at the map for a while. Both Yao Dazhu and Guo Feng had good combat effectiveness in their armies. Although they had lost some troops on the battlefield, the reinforcements had already arrived. If they were to surround a point and attack the reinforcements now, that point would soon be taken by us.
"Why surround a point and attack the reinforcements? Wouldn't it be better to expand directly to the north? Currently, their two regiments have merged into one. Immediately send an infantry regiment and an armored regiment and have them attack northward to meet these three infantry divisions head-on."
Li Shaoyi said very proudly, and drew a horizontal line in front of the three arrows. Although we have not built any fortifications, we can become the attacking party.
"Commander-in-Chief, isn't this a bit inappropriate? According to our original plan, their target this time was these infantry regiments. Now that they have completed their mission, we should withdraw them. This way, they will be closer to our supply base. Wouldn't it be better to engage the Rakshasa army around us?"
Zhang Jiahua said with some confusion that they were now about 170 kilometers to the northwest. If they wanted to meet the three infantry divisions coming from the north, the logistics distance might rise to 200 kilometers. Although there were some roads in Luosha, they were all dirt roads, and the speed of cars could only reach 30 kilometers per hour. It would take six or seven hours to deliver a truckload of supplies.
For us, this is also a huge waste of time. If possible, it is better to fight around the base.
"Even you can't imagine I would do this. How could the Rakshasa people possibly believe it? Fighting two hundred kilometers away will have an impact on us, but it won't be a big one. But what will these three Rakshasa infantry divisions think? They will think that after Yao Dazhu's army eliminates the remaining Rakshasa troops, they will immediately rush straight back to our base, rather than heading north to fight them. This will allow them to launch a surprise attack."
After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, Zhang Jiahua's eyes lit up. A surprise attack on the battlefield is really important. Take these five infantry regiments for example, they suffered heavy losses because they did not expect us to take the initiative to attack. Now that Yao Dazhu's army has been replenished, he will continue to lead the troops northward. No matter which army he encounters, he will be able to knock off a piece of the opponent's bones.
"Then let them go north, and send twelve transport planes from the country. These are cargo planes, and they can also airlift supplies to them at a critical moment."
Zhang Jiahua took out another telegram, saying that the transport plane would be able to land in an hour. Although it could only carry a few tons of cargo each time, the distance was relatively short, and a round trip could be made in an hour, which could also provide a lot of support to our army.
"Then give them orders to hurry up and do their job. Also, draw a security group from the army and have them rush over and bring back all the prisoners they've captured. Don't let the prisoners interfere with their combat effectiveness."
Li Shaoyi came from Ulaanbaatar, and he knew what the most troublesome thing for the regular army was. It was not the battle with the enemy on the battlefield, but the supplies and prisoners confiscated after the battle. If we find someone to watch over them, it will inevitably affect our combat effectiveness. If we don't find someone to watch over them, these people will mess around in our rear, which may cause us a disaster.
"We've already set out this morning and should be meeting up with them soon."
Zhang Jiahua looked at his watch. The previous battle plan did not include the security regiment. After killing these infantry regiments, according to what was said before, if they could get it back, they would get it back, if not, forget it. Who knew that there were still a lot of good things in the warehouses of these infantry regiments, so they had to send a security regiment to take them over.
The money spent on wars every day is an astronomical figure. Look at the planes flying everywhere in the sky. If we don’t stir up more things on the battlefield, who will pay for it?
This is how Li Shaoyi educated his subordinates, hoping that they could develop a good habit that the cost of war should be resolved on the battlefield.
The battle on Yao Dazhu's side is nearing its end. Guo Feng's side is fighting two regiments, and it is an encounter battle. Yao Dazhu's side is fighting according to the military plan, so it is a little slower. However, there are still about a thousand people left in the central encirclement. Yao Dazhu's armored vehicles have rushed in, and the innermost circle of defense has been disrupted.
"Commander Yao, headquarters has issued new orders, sending us two regiments of reinforcements and a security regiment to capture prisoners. We only have ten hours to rest and recuperate. After that, we will continue north. About forty-five kilometers to the north, we will face three Rakshasa infantry divisions."
For the past twenty minutes or so, Guo Feng had been giving his report to headquarters. Afterward, Li Shaoyi spoke to him personally and gave him instructions on the next combat mission...
