Chapter 494 Wushan Blocking Battle (2)

Time is passing by every minute and every second, and the sunlight shining from the water has dimmed.

Zhong Yi was very anxious. For the first time, he hated that his military rank was too low to decide the army's battle plan.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind. His military rank was low, but his father had a high military rank.

He didn't know whether the combat plan of the Wushan blockade had passed his father's approval, and whether his father had understood the specific combat environment when he approved it.

But he believed that with his father's wisdom, as long as he explained the situation clearly, his father would definitely understand it immediately.

And only the authority of the father can change the battle plan before the battle.

He has been in the army for more than ten years and has never used his father's relationship, let alone had direct contact with his father during the war.

But thinking of the four words "a clear conscience" that his father gave him when he said goodbye a few days ago, he made up his mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong started to communicate with the federal army headquarters.

……

When the Wushan Blocking Battle and the Tongguan Blocking Battle were about to start, Zhong Cheng's eyes were on the third demon army that was heading north from the Hengduan Mountains.

There are nearly 200 million demon troops on this road. They landed from the Indochina Peninsula, followed the Nujiang River and the Lancang River all the way north, avoiding the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and advancing along the high mountains and river valleys in the Hengduan Mountains running north-south, reaching the heartland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

However, the main force of the federal army has been mobilized to the more important upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. There are only 100 million federal troops blocking the third demon army in the high mountains and valleys along the Gaoligong Mountain, Nu Mountain, and Yunling Mountains.

Zhong Cheng sent the six Martian legions who are best at mobile warfare to contain the demon army here.

He just had a phone call with Cheng Guo, Tang Dao, and Ying Zongliang who were on the front line of Nu Mountain and confirmed their battle plan.

The Hengduan mountain area is deserted, and the plan proposed by the frontline headquarters to avoid the main force of the enemy and annihilate the enemy in motion has been approved by Zhong Cheng.

At this time, the secretary of the military aircraft reported that Zhong Yi had a call.

Zhong Cheng frowned when he heard the words. If he remembered correctly, Zhong Yi should be on the front line of Wushan right now. The battle is imminent. He called to find himself, what would happen?

He hesitated for a while, but Zhong Cheng still picked up the phone, "Hi, I'm Zhong Cheng!"

After hearing Zhong's personal views and suggestions on the Wushan blockade, Zhong Cheng broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately recalled Li Shaojie's battle plan, and he really fought resolutely with the demon army in the water by crossing the river with iron chains.

Moreover, the same tactics were used in the Tongguan blockade that Chen Yilong was in charge of. It is not known who of the two of them plagiarized whose plan they discussed together.

Because Zhong Cheng has always adopted an attitude of delegating power to frontline commanders, he only issued strategic tasks and did not interfere with specific operational commands, so as to avoid remote blind commanding.

But now it seems that his frontline commanders did not really understand the combat environment, and blindly copied the ancient water warfare cases they read from which book.

What Zhong Yi said is very reasonable. The iron cable net in the river water can indeed weaken the combat capability of the sea beast army, but the combat capability of the federal army's mecha troops is weakened even more in deep water. How many lives of the federal army soldiers will be cost Cast these four river defense lines.

Zhong Cheng thought of the most brutal and bloody Suzaku Mountain blockade in the Mars Defense War. More than 100 million federal soldiers paid their lives, which was the result of occupying the strong fortifications of Suzaku Mountain.

When he looked at the time, it was too late to discuss and analyze the new battle plan, so he chose to trust his son's judgment.

He immediately notified Deng Jinhai to immediately issue an order to the frontline headquarters in Wushan and Tongguan to withdraw the troops from the river.

At 8:16 on December 19.

When the dense army of demons appeared in Menfan Gorge, the eastern section of Wu Gorge, the six mecha corps of the Federal Army deployed in the Yangtze River were ordered to withdraw from the river immediately and enter the highlands on both sides to prevent sea beasts from landing from the water.

As soon as the third and fifth mecha armies of the Federation landed in the water of the Menfan Gorge, the army of sea beasts swarmed in.

Under the bite of the sea beast's sharp teeth, the iron cable net in the river basically did not play a blocking role.

This made the federal army gasp. If it was later, the more than 30 elite soldiers would have been thrown into the water.

Following the sea beast army, the Warcraft army also entered the Menfan Gorge defense line from land and air.

With the firing of various types of electromagnetic guns deployed between the peaks on both sides of the strait, the Wushan blocking battle began.

The army of monsters attacking from the land on both sides of the strait was blocked by the federal army in the mountain fortifications, and the flying monsters in the air exchanged fire with tens of thousands of flying chariots of the federal army.

The menacing Warcraft army was hit head-on, and the Mozu commander felt that he had encountered a real enemy, so he quickly adjusted his tactics.

The sea beast army did not continue to advance along the river, but landed on both sides of the Menfan Gorge, and began to attack the Federal Army's land fortifications with a flowering in the center.

The third and fifth mecha armies of the Federation faced the army of sea beasts who went ashore to fight. Although they surpassed their opponents in individual combat capability, the army of sea beasts had an advantage in numbers.

More than 100 million sea beasts forcibly landed on the several kilometers long river bank, and more than 30 federal troops could only retreat steadily, while more sea beasts were still pouring in from the lower reaches of Menfan Gorge.

Just 10 minutes into the Wushan blockade, the federal army's first line of defense was almost overwhelmed.

The Tongguan blockade is also facing the same situation, even worse.

In the combat command center of the Federal Army General Headquarters in Kunlun City, Zhong Cheng, Sun Lin, Deng Jinhai, Shi Hanxing and others watched the battle report from the front line and could no longer sit still.

Although the demon army was studied in detail before the war, the weapons and equipment of the federal army were also improved.

Not only is the equipment of the federal army mecha units coated with anti-corrosion soil materials, but also the soldiers are equipped with alloy heavy hammers specially used to deal with monsters to replace the thin Taiyi alloy swords.

Compared with the Warcraft warriors in the demon army, the federal army already has an advantage in combat effectiveness.

However, the commanding ability of the front-line commanders disappointed the top leaders of the federal army!
Li Shaojie, Chen Yilong and others have been recognized by Zhong Cheng for commanding army-level battles, but commanding millions of troops still lacks the ability of an excellent commander to adapt to local conditions and adapt to changes.

Zhong Cheng immediately decided that he would personally go to the front line of Tongguan to command the battle. Although it would be a big taboo to change the generals just before the battle, but if the current situation does not change the command, the battle situation will be out of control.

The federation can't afford to lose. It can't stop the demon army from the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. It doesn't take a week for the demon army to come to Kunlun City, and the federation is over.

Zhong Cheng went to Tongguan, but no one was sent to Wushan to replace Li Shaojie.

Sun Lin, Deng Jinhai, Shi Hanxing and others have no experience in commanding large armies in combat. They have always been engaged in logistics support staff intelligence work.

Both Paul and Meng Ye are suitable candidates, but now one is on the way to Jupiter, and the other is commanding the space fleet in the outer space of the earth.

The former high-level members of the Federal Army were martyred, and the Federal Army lacked a commander who stood alone. The problem of the lack of leadership at the command level was exposed at this critical moment!

The battle situation waits for no one, the soldiers on the front line are fighting desperately with the demon army, where can they find a qualified commander?
