Chapter 907: San Er breaks the defense (Happy Lantern Festival! There are two more chapters around noon)
In fact, there were not many troops there, and the total losses would not be particularly large. There was even this loss rate under the pineapple bomb, mainly because the Zang San assembled troops mainly in tents, without even semi-permanent fortifications.

The terrain on both sides here is not good, and Zang San has no supply advantage at all, unlike the Weinan area, where they have a lot of permanent fortifications that have been in operation for a long time.

Although the absolute value of the loss is not large, this trend makes Zang San frightened. Could it be that the University of East China has finally decided to take action in the direction of New Delhi?
There are more and more rumors and gossips, which have made Zang San's side overwhelmed, and the actual military pressure does exist. They urgently need a victory to turn all this around.

The only place where we have the strength to take action now is the western section of Weinan. The forces in other places have either been completely destroyed or expelled, such as the eastern section of Weinan, or they do not have the conditions to attack at all, such as the western front of the plateau. Their supplies are also difficult and they have been plowed by our air force.

The Zang San can only take advantage in places where the terrain and natural conditions have a complete advantage. They are no match for them in places with similar terrain.

This is also the main reason why historically the results of the Western Front did not seem to be as great as those of the Eastern Front, as it was not the main battlefield.

As for the air force? The air force now has to escape beyond the combat radius of the enemy's fighter jets to protect itself, let alone rely on them for attack.

On the same day, something even more devastating happened to them.

We published two photos in print media, led by the Daily News. The subjects of both photos were the same group, but one was taken from the air and the other was taken by a ground-based military reporter.

In the aerial photos, a large group of enemies could be vaguely seen. Without seeing a single one of our soldiers, they were already kneeling in a black mass with their hands raised high on the road where they were fleeing, with a few white flags flying in the middle.

We have seen many surrenders, but it was the first time that the whole world saw surrender from a distance, which really opened the eyes of major countries in the world.

The other photo was a close-up shot of the surrendered enemies. They were in disarray and had low morale, but most of them were not in tatters. They ran so fast that their clothes were not damaged at all. But what made the whole world laugh was that there were not even a few guns around any of the soldiers.

When media around the world reposted these two photos, they couldn't help but mock the dirty guy.

"The kindergarten next to my house can beat them!"

"Can't they gather ten guns with hundreds or thousands of people?"

"The gangsters in our block have more firepower than them." Uh... Citigroup guy, this is not something to be proud of.

"It looks like their armpits are healthier than our neighbors across the channel." It has to be John Bull again, one black and two black.

"Seeing them, I even forgave Huntziger, Weygand and Weimar." These were the Gauls and Hanslers, the signatories of the capitulation agreement during S2, the military commanders during the rapid surrender and the heads of the puppet government after the surrender.

These two photos completely destroyed Zang San's defenses from top to bottom, and he was completely embarrassed internationally.

Until then, all other countries knew was that they had lost badly.

These two photos let the international community know that they not only lost miserably, but also lost shamefully.

"Order the troops in the western section of the eastern front to launch an offensive as soon as possible." This is the only thing Zang San can do now.

At this time, our troops in the eastern section of Weinan had basically completely wiped out the enemy, and the front-line troops had advanced southward to the position we advocated. At the same time, some troops were advancing westward along several river valleys to expel and eliminate the remaining enemy troops in the eastern and central parts of Weinan, with sporadic results of several hundred people.

The enemies have all fled, and there are not many left in this area. We can see that our troops in the east are approaching and moving westward. Although they are still far from the combat area in the west, the front line has already reached the exit of the world's deepest canyon and completely controlled the area in the rear.

At this time, the enemy in the western section of Weinan was caught in a dilemma after receiving the order.

Their current situation is that they cannot escape as their retreat is cut off.

They didn't have the courage to attack. Although the people above boasted a lot, they always felt that the more than 1 people they had were not enough for the University of Tokyo.

One of their artillery brigades was discovered before it was deployed, and almost a regiment was blown up. The rest were mostly hiding in fortifications or camouflaged, and they escaped undetected. After all, the Tu-4T's reconnaissance equipment cannot cover everything. As long as they are lazy enough and do not deploy artillery units and hide in a coma, it is really not easy to be discovered.

This made the dirty three here even less confident and motivated to attack.

Their idea is simple, drag!
When we were forced to leave due to supply problems, they would pretend to give us a chase, find some actors, get some costumes and props, take some photos, and then they could declare victory.

As for whether the actors look like the real thing or not, or whether the costumes are authentic or not, that doesn’t matter, as long as you can be convincing enough.

Just like in the museum of Husky, there is still a flag with a blue background and a white label, which is said to be the flag of Dongda captured on the battlefield of the peninsula. Husky can do it, but I, Zang Saner, can't? But they didn't think about one question, what will we do before the large army withdraws? It must be to destroy their living forces.

How can we not get enough money after mobilizing so many troops? As for the problem of defense, we have our own considerations. Given the current conditions, it is not impossible to make a plan.

So even if they are hiding, we will take the initiative to attack them at a certain time. The reason why we have endured until now is that there is still time. If it really comes to the point where it is necessary, we can use force. In our opinion, the dirty three are not that tough anyway.

It can be said that the arrival of this order indicates that our strategy of making a feint to the west and attacking the east, and alerting the enemy has worked. Now the enemy in the western section of Weinan has no choice but to move.

However, it is a mystery why New Delhi's dirty three still hold great optimism about this small "heavy military group" in the eastern part of Weinan.

They even spared no expense, using helicopters to frog-leap over unusable bridges and send in some reporters to report on their great victory in the western section of Weinan.

"The enemy's communications have become more frequent recently. The decoded telegrams show that they are about to attack us." In the joint land and air command post in the western section of Weinan, several commanders were looking at the sand table.

"That's great. If they don't fight, our troops who have infiltrated will have almost run out of supplies. We will have to take the initiative to fight."

"Is it a smoke bomb set off by the enemy? According to their original plan, they were going to launch a 'Birthday Offensive'. There is still some time until the 14th."

"Maybe the Sindhu people also have a lunar calendar? He celebrates his birthday according to the lunar calendar, so it is a little different from the Gregorian calendar?" A commander joked.

Hot knowledge, our lunar calendar is a lunisolar calendar, not a lunar calendar, so those who want to translate "Spring Festival" into "Lunar New Year" are pure illiterates from a scientific point of view, not to mention the cultural and traditional issues.

Everyone laughed.

"It must be our bombing on the Western Front that made them feel threatened and in urgent need of a victory. This is the only area where they can launch an attack and even the only area capable of fighting." A commander laughed.

"Then should we keep a closer eye on them and destroy their remaining artillery before they set off?"

"No, don't fight. Let their artillery fire."

"Isn't this bad? Will it cause casualties?"

The commander who was against destroying the artillery first shook his head and said, "They don't have the guts to push the remaining artillery to a distance that can really threaten us. Please ask the air force comrades to keep a close eye on them. If their artillery advances to this distance, destroy it first. Otherwise, let it go. Oh, by the way, let the comrades build some fake fortifications on the front line tonight to lure out the Sindhu people."

"Are you afraid of..."

"Yes, I'm just afraid that they will retreat! If we destroy their artillery before the battle begins, I'm afraid they will have a reason not to launch this active attack. This goes against our idea of ​​luring the snake out of its hole. It's better to be safe."

"Then we might as well temporarily abandon the positions facing the enemy and withdraw all our men to the reverse slope. We will let them attack the frontal positions, and when they launch a charge, we will enter the positions." This style of fighting is also one of our old traditions, and is often used in battles with the Citigroups, so that the enemy's superior firepower will not play a big role.

"Hey, I didn't expect that they could enjoy the treatment of Citibank. How could this blessing be considered small?"

"I'm afraid it's bigger than the Citigroup. We now have reconnaissance advantages, firepower advantages, and equipment advantages. This style of play is more effective than before."

"Okay, let's decide. Except for some extremely strong support points, all front-line positions will be evacuated and move to the reverse slope or the direction away from the enemy."

"The front is just a lure. Notify the interspersed troops and be ready to attack the enemy at any time!"

The front position at this time was built on the mountain on the south bank of the river after we crossed the river south of the important town we had just occupied while the enemy was in a panic. Since we occupied this important town on the 23rd, the engineering comrades only took 12 days to repair the bridge that was blown up by us to a usable level, but heavy trucks could not pass it for the time being.

However, by ferrying cars across the river by boat, connecting the cars after crossing the river with cars on the north shore through human transfer, and supplemented by shipping, we have successfully connected the supply channels on both sides.

This is inseparable from the support of the lovely masses. They cheered for the arrival of "Jinzhu Mami" and provided a lot of manpower support.

At the same time, the engineering comrades are also working intensively to further reinforce the bridge and strive to restore the bridge to its full condition as soon as possible.
