Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Military Governor's Office in Jinyang City, Jinyuan Province.

Jinyuan Governor Fu Changqing fell silent after reading the telegram sent by Sun Guangzhi.

"No one should bother me! No one!"

After giving the order, Fu Changqing locked himself in the office, smoking one high-end foreign cigarette after another.

Soon the whole office was filled with smoke.

He looked out the window absentmindedly, not knowing what he was thinking.

It's not that he regretted joining forces to attack Gui Yuan's army and thus offending Jiang Hua to death.

As an ambitious warlord, if he doesn't advance, he will retreat. He must fight for any glimmer of hope.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of Jiang Hua, perhaps he could really become a giant and break free from the control of the Northern Frontier court.

It's a pity that there is no if in the world.

Now he has no way to deal with the situation on the front line.

At present, he only has the 72nd Division under his command. The rest of the troops are newly recruited soldiers who have not even been fully equipped with weapons.

It is already a question whether we can defend Jinyuan Province, let alone rescue the 101st Division.

Taking drastic measures may be his only option at the moment.

After a long time, Fu Changqing opened the door of the office.

"Tell Sun Guangzhi that I am unable to rescue him. If he is willing to surrender, then he can surrender. I won't blame him.

If he doesn't want to surrender to the Fuxing Army, then he will fight the Fuxing Army to the bitter end. I will burn incense on his grave every Qingming Festival."

Sun Guangzhi was not surprised when he received the telegram.

"Surrender? There's no such word in my, Sun Guangzhi's, dictionary.

Go tell the governor that as long as someone can burn incense and paper money for me every year, I, Sun Guangzhi, will have no regrets in this life.

To die on the battlefield, wrapped in horsehide, is the soldier's destiny. If I surrender, I will never forgive myself in my lifetime."

He knew very well that facing the offensive of the Fuxing Army, he would be doomed to die if he was trapped along the mountain road, and at most he could only survive for a while.

But he is not afraid of death.

This is also one of the reasons why Fu Changqing was confident in handing over so many troops to Sun Guangzhi.

"The 10th Infantry Division will be the main force in the front, and the st Airborne Brigade will be the main force in the rear. We must end the battle within days at all costs.

I will reinforce you with another heavy artillery brigade, and the Air Force will also fully cooperate.

Any other questions?"

Jiang Hua asked Zhuang Hua, the commander of the First Legion who was in charge of this battle.

Now that governments at all levels in Beire Province have ended martial law, Zhuang Hua's work focus has returned to the military, and he is currently fully responsible for the affairs of the First Legion.

"Please rest assured, Commander. It won't take 10 days. Just give me 7 days!"

One division, one airborne brigade, and two heavy artillery brigades, with a total force of about 30,000.

There is also the full cooperation of hundreds of fighter jets of the Air Force.

If it takes ten days to defeat two enemy divisions, then he will no longer be the commander of the First Corps.

"No need, 10 days is 10 days, I'll wait for your good news!"

The 8th Mountain Infantry Division is a unit specially formed for mountain warfare.

Since their establishment, they have set up their training grounds in the Daxingling and Yanshan areas.

After receiving the task, everyone in the division was very excited, rubbing their hands and ready to go.

At night, the commander of the 8th Mountain Division, Lu Shan, personally led a reconnaissance team to the front line.

"Commander, the hills ahead on both sides of the road are the enemy's 101st Division's front-line positions.

They dug many pits and fortifications on the mountain, and built some bunkers, so the defense was very tight."

"Have you figured out their military strength?"

The commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion shook his head and said, "Right now, there are a battalion of troops on each of these two hills, but I don't know if they are hiding."

Lu Shan glanced at the mountain in the distance shrouded in the night, then his eyes focused and looked at a higher mountain on one side.

"What's that mountain called? Are there any enemy troops there?"

The battalion commander took a look and said, "This mountain is called Jiufo Mountain. I can't find any way up it. It's full of cliffs and there are no signs of people on it."

After hearing what the reconnaissance battalion commander said, Lu Shan smiled and had already made a plan in his mind.

"What a great place! Let's go back."

Lushan had no intention of continuing the investigation, but returned to the division headquarters under the escort of the reconnaissance troops.

A military meeting at or above the regimental level was held overnight.

"Everyone, take a look at the sand table in front of you.

The enemy built a large number of fortifications on Jiazi Peak and Lishu Peak on both sides of the road, trying to cut off the highway.

If we want to take these two hills, we can only use heavy artillery.

But the enemy also knew this, and they built a large number of tunnel fortifications.

They hid in the tunnels when we bombarded them, and rushed up to defend them after the bombardment ended.

According to normal tactics, it would take at least three days to capture these two hills.

But we don’t have that much time.”

A group of regimental officers sat upright. They knew that since Lu Shan said so, there must be a better way.

"Everyone, take a look at the higher mountain behind us, called Jiufo Mountain, which is over 800 meters high and has a drop of at least 300 meters from Jiazi Peak and Lishu Peak.

As long as we control this place, we will control the commanding heights. If we deploy heavy firepower there, we can beat them down without them even being able to lift their heads."

At this time, a regimental commander said hesitantly: "Commander, we have also planned to attack Jiufo Mountain before, but we couldn't find the way up."

Lu Shan nodded and said, "Normally, we can't go up there, but we have something that can send our troops up there.

Can you guys be more flexible in your thinking?

Don't forget we have helicopters, and the corps has a brigade-level aviation unit."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

"That's brilliant! The commander is really amazing. Why didn't we think of that?"

The helicopter has the ability to take off and land vertically and hover. Although its carrying capacity is not very high, it has no problem sending people up.

Equipment like mortars and recoilless guns can be delivered very easily.

As for the division's 75mm mountain guns, they could be sent up for assembly as long as they were disassembled, which wouldn't take much time.

"That's settled then. I'll contact Corps Command and request reinforcements from the Aviation Brigade.

Our mountain division must fight beautifully in this battle and let the commander know that our mountain division can fight no worse than those with wheels."

The next morning.

Two Nighthawk transport helicopters took off and approached Jiufoshan at a cruising speed of 160 kilometers per hour.

"what is that?"

"The planes of the Restoration Army are the planes of the Restoration Army!"

"Hey, how can their plane stay in the air?"

"Oh no! They've sent people to Jiufo Mountain by plane. Quickly inform the division headquarters."

Jiufo Mountain is not far from Lishu Peak, only about 2 kilometers away, so they could clearly see the two Nighthawk helicopters landing on Jiufo Mountain.

When the Nighthawk helicopter landed steadily on an open space on the top of Jiufo Mountain, several officers and soldiers jumped down from it.

The top of Jiufo Mountain is relatively flat and has a large area. Once it is cleared, it can accommodate a battalion of troops.

"Get to work and clear out a clearing so the Army Aviation Unit can take off and land."

In less than an hour, dozens of engineers cleared a clearing.

Then, a number of Nighthawk transport helicopters loaded with troops from the artillery battalion and dismantled 75mm mountain guns began to take off and land frequently on the top of Jiufo Mountain.

On Jiufo Mountain they will deploy a battalion of 12 75mm mountain guns and a heavy mortar battalion from the heavy artillery brigade.

This heavy mortar battalion is equipped with 12 M43 160mm heavy mortars with a range of 8 kilometers, which can fully cover the two peaks.

At the same time, the First Heavy Artillery Brigade and the divisional artillery units, which had completed their deployment, also launched a covering artillery bombardment on Jiazi Peak and Lishu Peak.

The 2st Heavy Artillery Brigade deployed two M155 4mm cannon battalions and two B-203 mm heavy howitzer battalions to launch fierce artillery bombardments on Jiazi Peak and Lishu Peak respectively.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…”

Accompanied by the roar of artillery, shells whizzed towards the two mountains.

"Bombardment!"

On the high ground, the 101th Regiment of the 80st Division was deployed, a whole regiment of more than people.

When they saw the shells whistling towards them, they began to dig holes.

Sun Guangzhi knew that the artillery of the Fuxing Army was very powerful, so he ordered his troops to dig holes frantically, not only digging deep holes but also reinforcing them.

Ordinary heavy artillery cannot pose a threat to these pits.

But he still underestimated the strength of the Fuxing Army's heavy artillery unit.

He didn't know that the Renaissance Army was actually equipped with 203mm caliber heavy artillery.

With the salvos from the four artillery battalions of the First Heavy Artillery Brigade, both heights were engulfed in flames.

"Buzz buzz...."

At this time, a number of B-17 heavy bombers also appeared in the sky.

The Air Force dispatched two squadrons totaling 60 B-17 bombers.

The bombs they carried this time were not ordinary high-explosive bombs, but heavy bombs of 2000 pounds.

Another squadron carried super-heavy-level highball bunker-buster bombs.

This thing is a heavy bunker-buster bomb specially developed to deal with underground fortifications, and a single bomb weighs up to 5 tons.

Since Fu Changqing's 101st Division wants to rely on the mountainous terrain to block their advance.

Then Jiang Hua didn't mind flattening the mountain they were on.

As for whether it will damage the road, it doesn’t matter. We can just spend some effort to clear it when the time comes.

Jin Yuanjun, who was in the tunnel fortification, felt the vibration coming from above his head and his heart began to tremble.

"The Restoration Army's cannons are a bit too powerful. If we go up there, won't we be dead?"

"Alas, now I'd better pray that I can leave my body intact."

The entire 80th Regiment was very pessimistic about this battle.

Because they had already learned that Qihu County had been occupied and their retreat routes had been cut off.

The reason why this news was able to spread among the 101st Division was of course inseparable from the propaganda bombs released by the Fuxing Army Air Force.

Psychological warfare is also one of the important means of warfare, and sometimes it can even play an extremely critical role.

Even if it doesn't play a big role, it can still cause a blow to the enemy's morale.

“Chirp, chirp….”

As the B-17 bomber group flew overhead, heavy bombs began to fall like raindrops.
