Chapter 437 Tian Ji's Horse Racing
Fu Guan received the news from the scout and smiled coldly.
"A bunch of autumn grasshoppers won't amount to anything. We should continue with the original plan."
Yun Mo said, "Colonel Monroe, avoid the enemy's center and only attack the 10th Division on the left wing. Slow down their progress and hold them off for at least half an hour."
The northern front stretches for more than 200 kilometers. Even if the four Alpha divisions advance in unison, the distance between them is about 50 kilometers. According to the fastest speed of light infantry, it will take 45 minutes for the two nearest divisions to provide support.
Monroe's forehead was black. "Aren't you going to feint?"
"You want me to use my brigade to fight against his entire division, with a 1:3 ratio, and want to hold him off for half an hour?! How can this work?"
Yun Mo said, "A feint attack is still an attack."
"Do you know what a sharp knife looks like?"
"We may be outnumbered, but we have many sharp knives. Concentrate our superior forces in a certain area and stab them hard!"
"Don't fight in a small way, fight with momentum, fight to create the feeling of a huge crowd."
"Make them hesitate, make them hesitate. The better you perform now, the more opportunities your comrades will have."
As these words were spoken, the local battle began in full swing.
"Fuck me!"
Monroe pulled his military cap off and said, "Damn it! Go! Use all the stockpiles. Within thirty minutes, severely damage the enemy's first division."
Song Zhongqu looked at Yun Mo's excited expression and asked secretly, "Officer Yun, don't you look like you want to retreat?"
Yun Mo said: "There is no contradiction between retreating and beating them. Before leaving, we must make them feel the pain."
"The more pain it causes, the more effective the feint will be."
"If you don't think we're retreating, the other side won't think we're leaving."
Wang Feitai felt his palms itchy: "What do you want to do?"
Yun Mo pressed his hand on the map and heavily pointed at the middle of the northern line, the location of the enemy's 11th and 12th Divisions.
"What do you mean?" asked the white-haired commander.
Yun Mo signaled him to wait and issued a series of instructions.
She pointed her left finger at the left flank of the northern line. "Monroe is holding up their 10th Division on the left flank."
Pointing to the right flank of the northern line with his right hand, he said: "Orders, the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the 5th Division, move east and northwest, and only attack their 13th Division."
"Fifth Division, 1st Brigade, block the enemy's 4th Division's support from the north."
"That area is a small path, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Stopping them won't be a problem."
"The 2nd and 4th Divisions retreat to the center and prepare to fight!"
"Everyone else, especially those on the Western and Eastern Fronts, has had their combat strength drawn down. Hold on on yourselves for now!"
The white-haired commander understood a little: "And then?"
Yun Mo smiled lightly and pointed at the northern center line again: "As I said before, if I give it to you, the enemy will take it!"
At this point in the map, the deployment of troops and firepower of both sides began to become clear.
On the far left of the northern line was the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division, which was very weak, but it was facing the entire 10th Division.
On the far right of the northern line were two regiments of the 3rd Division and two brigades of the 5th Division, with a medium strength. They faced the enemy's 13th Division, and with the advantage of terrain, the two sides were barely evenly matched.
Waiting for them in the middle of the northern line were two reinforced divisions ready for action, which could be said to be the strongest combat force on the Federation side.
Seeing this deployment of troops, many viewers in front of the computer thought of a term - Tian Ji's Horse Racing!
She used her weakest force to pin down one of the enemy divisions, and then used a similar force to attack another division...
Fang Hongchen suddenly realized: "You want to give up the northern central line?"
The white-haired commander was shocked: "You want to eat up two of the enemy's divisions?"
Yun Mo nodded: "Leave a way for them and give them a gift."
If she wasn't preparing to retreat, she naturally couldn't risk letting the fierce enemy enter the camp line.
The troops were transferred to the northern front. Once the enemy forces on the east and west fronts discovered the clues, they would be attacked from both sides and would surely be defeated.
But now, the time is almost right.
Fu Guan's headquarters...
"Report, the 10th Division is not advancing smoothly and is encountering resistance."
"Report, the 13th Division has been blocked, and the enemy's attack is very fierce."
"Report, the 11th and 12th Divisions are advancing smoothly and will soon break through the first line of defense."
Carrie looked at the deployment of the red and blue teams on the light screen and had a feeling of unease.
"Now it seems that our two flanks on the northern front are being fiercely blocked by the enemy."
Fu Guan narrowed his eyes. "They don't attack the center, but only block our northern flanks. What's their intention?"
"What's happening on the Eastern Front?"
"Report, it's still a stalemate, but we are gradually advancing." The commander of the fourth division responded.
"What about the Western Front?"
"Report, most of the enemy's long-range equipment is here, and they are temporarily stuck." A division commander responded.
Liu Fang took two steps back and forth impatiently: "The advance on the east and west fronts is weak. The southern front has the Ading Forest, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"The only route we can successfully advance on right now is the northern route. Regardless of their intentions, with no supplies, no personnel, and only limited equipment, what can they possibly accomplish?"
Ji You also echoed, "I think, don't worry about what the other side thinks. We have the advantage. In the face of absolute strength, it's useless to think too much. If we hadn't worried so much before, we would have defeated them long ago."
Liu Fang nodded: "Indeed, the situation on the northern front just shows that after our prolonged attack, the Ading defenders are weak and no longer able to launch a full-scale blocking attack."
Kerry asked cautiously, "Then why two wings?"
"I have four forces on the northern front. It's meaningless for the enemy to only stop two, right?"
Liu Fang looked at him with disdain: "Kerry, you've been following Randy for too long, and you're becoming more and more suspicious."
"How can it be meaningless? Their only goal is to defend Ading and wait for reinforcements. Any action that can slow down our offensive speed is meaningful to them."
Ji You also said sarcastically, "Besides, the two wings have better terrain. Even if they advance through the center, they can still hold their ground on the two wings thanks to the terrain advantage. If they abandon the two wings, won't they fail even faster?"
"I don't think it's that simple," Carey said.
Fu Guan pulled the corner of his mouth, a little impatient: "What are you worried about? Just tell me directly. They need time, and we need time even more!"
Kerry shook his head. "I think they might be able to disrupt our simultaneous attack by blocking two fronts and lure us deeper."
He pointed at the mountain road ahead of the 11th Division. "What if there's an ambush here? The distance between us and our two flanks will be over a hundred kilometers, a one-hour forced march. What should we do?"
"Perhaps this is the situation they are trying to create."
"Once the central route penetrates deep into the hinterland, I think they will immediately concentrate their superior forces to attack here."
Liu Fang slammed the table: "Ambush?!"
"Hey, Kerry, consider the strength of both sides before you speak!"
"Our northern front is strong, and all units are in a stalemate and resisting. Where else can they get the troops and the ability to stop our two reorganized divisions?!"
