Chapter 321: Withdrawing Troops



Everyone looked at the location marked by Li Xin.

Han Chun asked tentatively, "Manager...is this distance too far?"

This location is out of human settlement. Although it is not a wilderness, it is also an uninhabited area.

This kind of place is the highway leading to the next human settlement, and there is a railway not far away on one side.

Normally, this type of road is used by freight vehicles, which travel in convoys.

The road is wide and needs to be maintained every once in a while.

Ordinary residents certainly don’t dare to drive their cars here alone, because the storm that may hit at any time may blow their cars away.

But it’s different for military vehicles. Passing armored vehicles on the road is even easier.

Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "This distance is nothing. There is a road here. I have crossed hundreds of kilometers of wilderness to attack the enemy's important defense line. I have done it before. This kind of attack plan is nothing."

Li Xin looked around at his commanders and said, "Just like you think it's too risky for me to venture hundreds of kilometers to attack the enemy."

"The enemy would never imagine that we would do this!"

"There are no satellites in the sky. We only need to avoid the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft to complete this plan!"

Li Xin pointed at a point on the map and said, "This place happens to be within the range of our long-range air defense missiles. The long-range early warning radar can monitor this area. I bet their reconnaissance plane won't continue forward!"

Weng Hua was shocked by Li Xin's audacity. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "But, Chief, with this kind of attack, which unit should we use?"

"I'm afraid the garrison's motorized brigade is incapable of carrying out such an attack."

Li Xin nodded and said, "The garrison troops can't handle such long-distance operations in no-man's land, so I won't be bringing ordinary infantry this time."

"Their mission is to disperse the garrisons!"

Liu Yang on the other side was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't we not station troops before to ensure the unity of our forces so that we could attack or retreat in time?"

Li Xin said slowly: "This time is different from that time..."

"Before, we did this to ensure our superior military strength, but now that's no longer possible."

"The enemy has more superior forces, and these garrison soldiers don't have suitable vehicles to follow us into battle, so they need to disperse."

Li Xin took the baton and marked several locations on the map, then said, "Weng Hua, now I tell you to remember!"

Weng Hua immediately perked up and said, "Yes!"

"All armored vehicles of the garrison must be mobilized, including infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, and assault guns!"

"Including tracked anti-aircraft vehicles and self-propelled artillery, mobilize them all!"

Motorized brigades also have some armored vehicles. A brigade has a battalion-level mechanized unit, and its main equipment is infantry fighting vehicles and assault guns.

These armored vehicles are mainly used for fire support in infantry combat.

Usually a mechanized battalion has thirty-two infantry fighting vehicles.

Li Xin had eight garrison motorized brigades and two mountain brigades.

The blueprint's mountain brigades each contain a battalion of armored units.

Now that all these troops have been mobilized, they can form an armored force of ten battalions.

The armored vehicles mobilized are mainly infantry fighting vehicles and assault guns, with a total number of more than 300.

In this case, except for some deficiencies in defense and impact power, it is basically equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a mechanized infantry brigade.

In addition, Li Xin also has a tank regiment, so he just needs to reorganize the two together. Then, it will be no problem for Li Xin to have an extra mechanized infantry brigade.

Li Xin continued, "The garrison brigades that have been assigned armored forces will deploy to the following locations!"

Li Xin selected points on the map. These garrison points were all within the settlements.

After seeing this, Liu Yang asked, "Is the role of the garrison to abandon the outer positions and engage in street fighting with the enemy?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly and said, "Their role is not to fight, but to distract the enemy!"

"If our forward plan fails, the garrison can simply withdraw. Light infantry alone cannot stop the enemy's heavily armored forces!"

"Once these garrisons enter the settlements, they will need to get busy and let everyone know that we have decided to live and die with these settlements!"

"Show the enemy that we are going to engage in street fighting!"

After these words, several senior military officers present suddenly understood.

On the other side, Han Chun asked, "So, Director, this time, the mecha unit, along with our 253rd Mechanized Brigade and these armored battalion units, will go into battle together?"

Li Xin nodded and said, "That's right. In this way, we will have two mechanized brigades, equipped with a large number of self-propelled artillery!"

"Our ability to deliver firepower in a short period of time is in no way inferior to the enemy reinforcements!"

Seeing that he was no longer able to stop his leader and these somewhat crazy colleagues, Han Chun began to offer some constructive suggestions.

In this way, under Li Xin's planning, this plan, which was originally just an inspiration, is slowly taking shape.

When the plan was halfway written, Han Chun suddenly asked, "What if the enemy reconnaissance plane discovered us and all three enemy forces surrounded us?"

The scene suddenly became quiet, as if someone had woken up from a dream.

Of course, it’s not that no one has thought about this question, but no one dares to actually raise it.

Upon hearing this, Li Xin slowly put down his baton and said, "This possibility is not impossible."

"We and the enemy are now both in the fog of war. When our mechanized troops move forward, we are gambling. We are gambling that they won't be able to detect us, and that we will succeed!"

Li Xin looked at Han Chun seriously, then at the others, and said, "This plan of a surprise attack followed by a siege and attack on reinforcements has only a 70% chance of remaining undetected."

"After the battle begins, the probability that the enemy will act as we expect is only 50 to 60 percent!"

"But this is our last hope. This is the only plan that has a chance of success right now."

Li Xin looked at Han Chun and asked, "Let me ask you one last time, are you willing to take a gamble with me, or do you want to return to Yadun in disgrace?"

Han Chun didn't speak, and neither did anyone else in the meeting room.

Weng Hua took a deep breath, thinking about his situation in the family, and said in a deep voice:

"Boss, I'm willing to gamble with you!"
