Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The first explosion became a signal, and when the light flashed, all the escort helicopters quickly turned their airborne weapons to the place where the light had just flashed, and at the same time threw a lot of firepower down.The previous missile seemed to irritate the middle finger of the overlord of the sky. Although it hit a target suddenly, it was responded a thousand times later.

Under the fierce counterattack, the entire jungle immediately turned into a flame. Seeing his masterpiece, just as the military controllers panted and released the launch button, a light flashed again in the direction opposite to the previous attack.

Compared with the previous attack, this time, the opponent obviously invested all their strength. The smoke screen fired by the individual anti-aircraft missiles made the entire jungle instantly filled with gunpowder smoke like a wildfire.In the sky, the alarm systems in all the helicopters were beeping hoarsely at the same time, reminding everyone in the aircraft that the missile was coming.

"Crash landing!" Commander 101 witnessed all this happening, and the only thing he could do was shout into the microphone. In his opinion, facing the enemy's supersaturated attack, any deception is like a child's trick , It is completely impossible to control the attention of the missiles all over the sky. Now, the only thing to do is to lower the altitude, hoping that the subsequent forced landing will be unscathed.

The FN6 missile has become the protagonist of the sky at this moment, and the army's anti-aircraft missile battalion has turned the entire low altitude into a dead zone. The fragments of the FN missile outlined the entire space into a steel hell. Although the American armed helicopters, which have always advocated defense, could only be forced to bow their heads in front of this steel hell.

Amidst the sound of ping-pong-pong, the group of helicopters was forced to land in the jungle around the airport, which was only a short distance away from them. Against the background of crackling, the big steel birds that had been showing off their might in the sky were now scattered like dead fish. In the whole jungle.In the cabin, the American soldiers who had fantasized about making dumplings for the enemy before climbed out of the deformed cabin, and then, under the yelling of the officer, ran to the assembly point in a daze, wielding the engineering shovel, to fight for the possibility. Final preparations for the coming battle.

"Notify the staff, tell Your Excellency the General that we have just been ambushed by the enemy, and we have ordered the fleet that has not taken off to suspend takeoff, and at the same time request to send troops to support." The 101st division commander quickly ordered to the correspondent as soon as he climbed out of the cabin.

"General, what should we do?" After quickly recording the order, the correspondent did not leave, but glanced at the division commander and asked in confusion.

"Hold your position and wait for reinforcements. I believe they will come." The division commander nodded silently, and then said.

……

"How many enemies are left?" Chiang Kai-shek casually asked the staff without even looking at the report in front of him.

"At least it should be a battalion of the enemy, and none of the dozens of helicopters escaped. Do you think this is enough chips?" Before the staff officer could answer, Zhu Peide came over with a smile and asked.

"Whether the bargaining chip is enough or not depends on how the enemy sees it. As far as I see it now, it's not a big problem." Chiang Kai-shek smiled, turned his head and said.

"I don't think so. The Americans are known as the army that respects life the most. Their soldiers are all carved out of gold. They would melt if you hold them in your hand. Now they are one regiment plus one battalion..." Zhu Peide dared not Believe reminded.

What answered him was a smile from Chiang Kai-shek. The latter didn't want to answer his doubts, but continued to look at the information in front of him.

Good news always seems to go hand in hand with bad news.Just when Clark was fortunate to occupy Peoria without bloodshed, what happened to the 101st Division made his originally excited mood suddenly turn cold.The enemy let go of the 502 regiment, but dared to ambush around Peoria to attack the helicopters. This arrangement can no longer be simply described as clever and stupid.

Since the enemy dared to lay an ambush under Peoria's nose, it is enough to show that the 502nd regiment has been completely surrounded, including the battalion that fell before. troops.

"What should I do?" Clark didn't know anything, he only knew that if he gave up the 502nd Regiment and the Airborne Battalion rashly, then what awaited him after returning home would be the same.However, if we go to the rescue, then what is waiting for the 5th Army may not be as simple as we think now.

One battalion plus one regiment, the bait is big enough to make the 5th Army hurt.But if they are rescued, what awaits the Fifth Army is likely to be a complete trap.

One of the most old-fashioned Chinese tactics is to surround the spot and fight for aid. Putting a regiment in front of you is enough to make the Fifth Army have to seriously consider its later actions.

No one likes to jump into traps, and Clark himself is no exception. For him, such an obvious trap is purely a kind of contempt for him.

"Tell the head of the 502nd regiment that he is now appointed as the military chief of the Peoria area. His mission is to do his best to highlight the encirclement. The other troops stop advancing and prepare to return." Looking at the map, that is encircled The goal of being together, Clark said hesitantly.

"General, I feel that if we retreat, we will really fall into the trap of the Chinese." Just as his subordinates were about to leave with the order, the former staff officer came over again and reminded in a low voice.

"What do you want to say?" For Clark, there is no way to turn things around now, and the only thing he can do is to minimize losses.

"I think that behind us is the biggest trap for the enemy." The staff officer summoned up his courage and said.

Clark was particularly dissatisfied when the staff interjected again. The guy in front of him, who couldn't even pronounce his name, seemed very interested in playing against him in terms of command strategy.At the critical moment, Clark even wanted to call the guards to pull this guy out.But just when Clark was hesitating whether to call the guards or do it himself, the staff officer had already walked quickly to the map.

Dragon's Roar Chapter [-]

"The Chinese army has adopted an obvious old-fashioned tactic, encircling the point to fight for aid. This is also their usual method. Now, on the surface, it seems that our 502nd regiment and a battalion of the 101st division have been trapped in Peoria. If we follow common sense , what we need to do is to send troops to rescue based on the reconnaissance information. However, we can think about it in another position, will the Chinese set up a trap for us that we can easily see through?" The staff officer's subsequent speech made Clark Forced to swallow the curse that was already on the verge of his mouth, although the other party's appearance was a bit inappropriate, his speech made him hear a hint of mystery.

"Since the beginning of the war, I have been studying Chinese strategy and tactics. On the surface, large-scale troop mobilization and offensives seem to be the usual methods of the Chinese, but behind them, there is hidden the Chinese's screening and selection of targets. It seems that the prerequisite for any target determination is to meet their multiple tactical and even strategic needs. At present, Peoria is very beneficial to us. Occupying it, we can use the airport there and use the railway for supplies. Entering can reach the city of St. Louis, the traffic hub, and retreating can defend Chicago, and the enemy is also taking a fancy to this, so they use Peoria as the most central part of the trap. Peoria is very important to us, but , but it is not necessary. We got him only to provide a forward base for Chicago. Therefore, the Chinese have cleverly arranged a situation where we seem to need rescue. According to conventional considerations, we do not need to invest all our troops Carry out a rescue, but even if the rescue is successful, it will also mark the failure of the occupation of Peoria. As our primary task, once the occupation of Peoria cannot be realized, it will inevitably lead to us having to withdraw to Chicago. Therefore, the real Chinese The layout is on our way back." Seeing that everyone was silent, the staff officer boldly continued.

Clark felt a little cold. Although the temperature in the jungle was extremely hot, the cold still made him shiver uncontrollably.This seems to be the real strategy of the Chinese. Their goal is not simply a company, a regiment, or a division, but the entire Fifth Army.The meaning of "you must save when you attack the enemy", by extension, is what you must do when you attack the enemy.At present, the only thing the Fifth Army can do is to retreat. Therefore, the Chinese have already arranged an ambush on the retreat route.

The war persisted and continued in this seemingly calm atmosphere. The large-scale conflict that had been imagined in advance had not yet occurred at this moment. For the Fifth Army around Olia, it is extremely incredible.

Everything seems to be brewing, as if waiting for the moment to explode.

On the highway, military vehicles were constantly gathering, and finally gathered together at a hidden assembly point. The mobilized national war machine displayed incomparable power at this moment, which was so huge that it was shocking.On the huge parking lot covered by the anti-infrared camouflage net, the camouflage of the sealed military vehicles has already been removed.In the spacious compartment, there are a large number of missiles and long-range rockets densely packed.

The soldiers who should have been hidden in a typical motorized infantry division were very few compared with missiles and artillery fire.

Amid the yelling, the rockets were quickly hoisted and transported to the artillery positions around the transition battle. Compared with the military vehicles that came ostentatiously, the artillery positions were weird like ghosts.

Everything was being prepared quickly and intensively, but Chiang Kai-shek, who directed all of this, was sitting leisurely in the office at the moment, letting the nurse who followed him examine the scar on his chest that was already covered in red flesh.

"The most important thing in the way of war is to achieve the strategic goal. War is not for killing, but for winning. Sometimes, we put the cart before the horse." With the help of the nurse, Chiang Kai-shek fastened his buttons, stood up slowly, and walked Next to the map on the table, turn your gaze to Peoria again.

"The First Division of the No. 15th Army has entered the area around Peoria as planned. Are we going to withdraw the 48th Army as planned?" Seeing Chiang Kai-shek frowning and stretching his waist, Zhu Peide hesitated and asked road.

"Wait a minute, since the enemy has already entered the city, I think we should greet them and tell the artillery that since the enemy likes Peoria, let them stay a little longer." Chiang Kai-shek took a deep breath , and said instead.

The last huge WS2 rocket was loaded into the launch tube, and then, under the action of hydraulic pressure, the launch tube was lifted high, pointing at the dark mid-air above the head.After the body is launched, the command vehicle is ready. The coordinates received earlier have already been input into the fire control computer. Later, this coordinate will lead dozens of rockets to appear there.

"Prepare—release!" The thin cables coordinated the artillery positions deployed within dozens of square kilometers. Under the command of the commander, all the hidden artillery positions simultaneously let out a sky-shattering roar, violent explosions and explosions. The flash of light instantly made the land in the darkness outline a fiery red pattern.

In the sky, the huge body of the WS2 rocket has been swallowed by the night, only the tail flame several times longer than the body is so eye-catching in the night.On the radar, the strong plume airflow density that is hundreds of times higher than the background atmosphere completely exposed the flight path of WS2. However, this seems to be no threat to WS2, which has no hidden intentions at all.

Inside the projectile, the computer precisely controls every flight angle of the rocket, and finally, under the action of several times the speed of sound, it plunges headlong towards the target.

"Boom!" The explosion sounded far away in the silent jungle, and the sound made the birds and beasts hiding in the jungle flee in fright, but the simple roads and paths hidden in the jungle disappeared instantly in the explosion.

In the city of Peoria, Clark, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly got up amidst the violent explosion. After looking around vigilantly for a long time, he realized that the explosion did not happen around him.

"What's going on?" In a hurry, Clark ran into the war room without even bothering to put on his clothes, and asked loudly.

"The enemy has just carried out intensive long-range strikes, and the intelligence department is still counting the positions of the targets hit." Hearing his inquiry, the staff officer on duty immediately replied.

"Quick, give me the coordinates of all the locations, as well as the casualty report immediately." Clark urged anxiously.

His urging seems to have had some effect, and soon, the staff officer said excitedly: "Your Excellency, the casualties have just been counted, and the situation is very optimistic. Except for the two reconnaissance squads, no other troops have lost. At present , the coordinates have been checked, and the specific impact point is still under investigation."

Although the other party said it easily, Clark's expression did not calm down. At this moment, he was staring at the screen, waiting for the final result to appear.

"Your Excellency, I am very pessimistic. According to computer statistics, the locations where the enemy bombed just now coincide with the coordinates of the highway and railway from Peoria to the outside world." The staff officer, who was still smiling and talking just now, suddenly disappeared. Instead, there was a solemn expression.

"What does this mean? Do you know? This means that we will replace the 502 regiment and become that damned bait." Hearing the staff report, Clark pondered for a long time before cursing.

The entire Fifth Army has completely lost the supply lines of roads and railways at this moment. Although it is not a difficult problem for the current Fifth Army to repair the above lines, the determination shown by the enemy let them know that even if the railways and roads are repaired , the Chinese will not allow them to play a little role.

Outside, the sound of explosions came again, and as the night came, around Peoria, the American anti-American guerrillas, who were active frequently, continued to use various means to lure the United States under the cover of targeted artillery strikes. Soldiers left the city and brutally killed it.Under these frequent unrestricted battles, the originally huge Fifth Army was forced to continuously shrink its defense line, like a hermit crab, completely hiding itself in the city of Peoria, waiting for the arrival of support.

Freighters loaded with military supplies travel to and from the Gulf of Mexico in the southern United States at a fixed frequency. The purpose of the Dragon Army is to open up the defense line of the southern coast of the United States. Once successful, the Dragon Army will form the West Coast (Seattle, Portland), Southwest Coast (Los Angeles) ), the South Coast (Houston) three attack channels, all attacking the hinterland of the United States in the form of a trident.

However, what is different from the past is that this time, what is carried in the warship is not the previous materials, but a huge number of troops and equipment.The dark night made all these actions seem extremely strange and mysterious.It seems that only the generals who stood on the pier to greet these troops knew that the war was about to break out.

This situation has been going on for dozens of days. In order to prevent the enemy from noticing, the daily supply has been completely stopped, replaced by a constant increase of troops. Frequent transfers have made Seattle a huge transit point. Countless troops are being transported to After Seattle, he was sent to the front to wait for the impending attack.

The newly arrived troops finally replaced the defense line of the 15st Division of the No.[-] Army, allowing the exhausted [-]st Division to safely retreat to a resting place for a short reorganization.Seeing the soldiers happily eating hot meals and then falling asleep, Ma Zhanyuan knew that such a happy scene might not last long.

The enemy's increase in troops is almost a foregone conclusion, so in a short period of time, the distant southern coast of the United States will not receive corresponding military support. Therefore, this is the right time for a counterattack. As long as the front line is advanced by [-] kilometers, it will threaten the periphery of Memphis. , Then, it will inevitably put pressure on the US military in the south, and then force the Americans to face up to the problem at hand.

The southern aspect must end as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it takes, the more unpredictable things will happen.Since the enemy's eyes were entangled in the central area, all daily supplies for the enemy in the south have been canceled and replaced by a large number of soldiers and equipment.This raid, no matter in terms of scale or planning, will be a decisive battle.
