Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

The troops that received the mission advanced stealthily to their designated locations.

According to the mission time, you must enter the designated location within five days after the mission is issued.

While our troops were secretly preparing for the attack, Kaoer once again had a stomachache before the war broke out and retreated to the capital overnight to see a doctor.

On the evening of the fifth day, the two regiments responsible for cutting off the retreat also arrived at the designated position, and quickly defeated Curry's Fifth Battalion, successfully cutting off the road and ensuring that Curry could not escape.

On the morning of the next day, we gathered the firepower of three artillery regiments and launched a barrage of artillery fire at Steel Head. In less than a day, we captured several strategic locations centered on Xishankou. The Curry army was defeated at the first touch and did not pose any obstacle to our attack. Most of the time was wasted on dealing with prisoners.

The next day, they bypassed the two regiments heading south and the frontal troops to attack "Songfu", and continued to win battles one after another.

Just two days after the war began, the entire Curry army near Xishankou had collapsed. Except for the Curry Fourth Division which took the lead in escaping through the Dalongzong Pass, the other troops instantly turned into frightened rabbits and fled madly into Curry territory.

Curry's officers took the lead in running away, and the soldiers below had no intention of resisting and could only focus on escaping.

Li Dongfang looked at the battle reports that kept coming in and felt that this battle was like playing house. There was no military strategy or tactics at all. The biggest challenge was running around to catch the curry soldiers.

Of course, there were also many heroes and miracles in this process.

The spearhead team of the 154nd Company of the 2th Regiment, while pursuing the enemy, killed Brigadier General Xinge, the commander of the 64th Brigade, who was disguised as an ordinary soldier.

A deputy squad leader of the 163th Company of the 9rd Regiment took the lead in the battle and chased the fleeing Curry. He accidentally lost contact with his own company. Fortunately, he met three soldiers from the 15th Company on the way. They temporarily formed a combat team, chased the enemy for kilometers, engaged in five deep fire battles behind enemy lines, captured two artillery positions of Curry, and seized seven artillery pieces and several trucks.

Later, when their regimental commander met them, they said, "Instead of surrendering, the enemy had the audacity to fight back against me!"

After four days of fighting, the Xishankou area had been completely occupied by us. Li Dongfang also rushed up with the five regiments given by General Zhang. After discussing with a group of regiment commanders, it was decided that Li Dongfang would continue to pursue the fleeing enemy with the fresh troops.

The troops participating in the battle at Xishankou took a short rest, then caught up and moved forward together.

Li Dongfang led his troops and ran head-on into the defense line of the 11th Curry Brigade. Without waiting for Li Dongfang to make arrangements, the commanders of each regiment issued an attack order. These regiments were drawn from various places and were the real elite of our army. They were more elite and experienced than the troops that had been responsible for the main attack mission. Each of the four regiments sent out a company, which directly split the opposite Curry Army and coordinated with the charge of the frontal troops. It was like a hot knife cutting butter, and they directly broke the Curry. In half an hour, there was no resistance fire from the Curry, and all that could be seen were Curry soldiers running around.

However, as soon as the battle broke out, the commander of the 11th Curry Brigade fled in a hurry on a plane along with the commander of the 4th Army.

Three days later, Li Dongfang met up with the main attack force from Xishankou that had arrived from behind. At this time, they had stopped at the traditional customary border line.

The goal of this war has now been achieved, but for Li Dongfang, this is just the beginning of the war in his heart.

Li Dongfang immediately called a meeting of all the regiment leaders and said, "Comrades, I called you all here to inform you of some matters and to solicit your opinions."

Before the war, all the regiment leaders had received instructions from General Zhang, implying that Li Dongfang had a special status and his suggestions must be taken seriously, so Li Dongfang presided over the meeting and no one objected.

"We have now completed the combat mission assigned to us by our superiors and achieved the strategic goals, but what I am about to say may be a little unorthodox. If you don't want to listen, you can leave." Li Dongfang felt that people should be given the right to choose for some things.

Seeing that none of the group leaders had any intention of moving, Li Dongfang continued, "Since no one is leaving, I will continue. You should all know that our center is also arguing about how far this war will end."

Li Dongfang paused after glancing at everyone, and continued, "My personal opinion is that since the fight has already taken place, and Curry was the first to provoke, then don't blame us for being too heavy-handed. What I mean is that anyone who offends China must be punished no matter how far away they are! That's right, punish! The punishment that means to destroy everything!"

Everyone's eyes froze at first, and then they all showed fanatical light. As passionate warriors, how could they not understand the meaning of these words? It was this belief that made them willing to risk their lives for the country and the people and charge in the hail of bullets. Now Li Dongfang's words clearly meant that he would risk disobeying orders and kill Curry. Although they were a little hesitant, it did not stop them from recognizing Li Dongfang.

"Staff Officer Li, if we do this, will it disrupt the arrangements made by those above us? And cause the international situation to deteriorate?" asked a regiment commander who was obviously quite capable.

Li Dongfang nodded, "It will definitely make things difficult for the higher-ups. As for the international situation, haha, I personally think that the so-called international situation is bullshit! As long as our fists are strong enough, who dares to speak? During the Peninsula War, we fought against the whole world and won. Which country cared about our voice at that time? But since then, which country dares to ignore our voice? So I think the best truth is that the truth is only within the range of cannons!"

"What territorial disputes, what international peace, it's all bullshit. How dare the Russians say they haven't occupied our territory? Didn't the Americans also occupy the territory of the Indian natives? So what they say is all empty talk. As long as we are strong enough, the whole world will have to shut up!"

The more Li Dongfang spoke, the more confident he felt. He felt the blood of these iron-blooded soldiers was boiling and the fanaticism in their eyes was about to burst out.

"What we just said was what we discussed in private. I would not admit it in another situation. Let's talk about the situation we are facing now." Li Dongfang suddenly changed the tone, which made the team leaders stunned. They could not keep up with Li Dongfang's train of thought.

Li Dongfang ignored them and continued, "We are too far away from the Southwest Command now. There are some communication problems, which makes it impossible for us to contact and receive orders from our superiors. Now I have two suggestions to solve this problem. First, we retreat to the rear. We will probably be able to contact them when we return to the plateau. Second, we continue forward, all the way west. This way, the road will be easier to travel, and as the distance gets closer, the communication will be restored. I hope everyone will also put forward their own opinions."
