Chapter 914 Flowering in the Center

The comrades marched quickly and talked at the same time. Although they were exhausted and out of breath, no comrade fell behind.

Above their heads, more than a dozen planes flew past with wind and thunder.

A kilometer or two ahead of them, the remnants of the enemy were passing through a reserve assembly area.

Corpses scattered all over the ground, limbs scattered everywhere, pools of coagulated blood, groans of agony...

All this made the enemies, who had just escaped from the blood and fire, even more frightened and shivered all over.

I don’t know who shouted, “Run! The devil is coming!”, and the group of people became even more panicked. They couldn’t even maintain the most basic formation and completely dispersed.

There were also enemies that had not collapsed. In the eyes of the laser-guided pod, those small spots of light were the best targets. Cluster pineapple bombs fell from the sky, reaping the lives of the enemies.

It is impossible to find out how many enemies escaped. The six enemy battalions that attacked had been completely disbanded, and it was impossible to count them on either side.

However, as the victors, we had better conditions. According to post-war statistics, in this area where the enemy attacked, retreated, and fled, we found more than 3700 enemy corpses, wounded soldiers, and prisoners.

Only less than 300 enemies fled back, abandoning their weapons and armor. They really abandoned their weapons and armor. In order to escape more easily, some of them even threw away their guns.

Among the captured enemies, there were more than 300 who had given up on escaping, not to mention fighting. They threw away their guns, raised their hands, knelt on their knees, and did whatever they wanted, because they had surrendered.

The enemies who fled back were not in a good situation either. They were frightened by the explosion and hid behind strong fortifications.

What a coincidence, isn't it? Our laser-guided bombs can also target fortified fortifications.

Many of the enemy's core fortifications had been uncovered one after another before our infantry arrived, and the defeated enemies hiding there were once again treated to fireworks.

It’s a waste of time, it’s better to invest halfway.

Many years later, when the prisoners we released recalled this scene, it was even difficult for them to recall the systematic images, nor could they organize their words in an organized manner. "Explosions, blood, flames, shrapnel, escape, screams, these are all I remember. Believe me, you must never try to face all of this... No, I will never go, I won't go."

The next battle is a combination and replica of the previous battles, with infiltrations, detours, and tough attacks. Rockets will be used when necessary, grenades will be used when necessary, and if all else fails, ask for a big bomb from the sky.

Such a wide position, and an area that the enemy had operated for many years, was heavily defended by 11000 men, and the battle took a long time.

Oh, by the way, there is no eleven in a million now.

For a considerable part of the time, the soldiers were racing with the enemy, which was very tiring. After all, the soldiers were chasing credit, while the enemy was escaping their lives.

The enemy was running away very quickly, and it was difficult for the soldiers carrying more than 20 kilograms of equipment to compete with the enemy who had completely let go.

So interesting scenes appeared everywhere on the battlefield.

After a firing point was taken, the enemies inside that could run away in a flash, leaving nothing behind. They were faster than Bolt... No, faster than Bolt! They ran faster than Bolt!

Our soldiers packed up their equipment, cleaned up the battlefield, and followed behind with their loaded loads.

However, the majority of them ran away. After all, they really couldn't outrun them. The laws of biology were in effect. On a plateau of more than 3000 meters, it was quite difficult for a person carrying a load of more than 20 kilograms to catch up with the animals that had used all their energy to escape.

But the soldiers were not in a hurry. Run? Your retreat is blocked. Where can you run to?
The battle line was shortening, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, good news came.

The penetration force responsible for infiltrating and annihilating the enemy's soft belly has successfully annihilated two enemy battalions in the area, killing a total of more than 470 people. The remaining enemies, together with the battalion that was watching the fire from the other side, fled to the tail of the enemy formation, where was the enemy's headquarters and a small number of enemies.

The comrades who had fought a beautiful annihilation battle did not care. The enemy was not in a hurry. The important thing now was to consolidate the position, digest the occupied key points, and completely cut off the connection between the enemies on the front line that was more than ten kilometers wide.

The enemy's formation looks like a net, but it is actually a star-shaped net with branches distributed on the front position, and the "switch" where these branches converge is the place they have just captured.

Once this point is cut off, it will be difficult for the enemies on various branches to communicate and support each other. They can only be divided and surrounded piece by piece by our comrades attacking head-on, and then eaten.

As for the manpower at the tail of the enemy formation, this unit did not take it seriously at all. If the enemy had the courage to come over, even if there were no our planes in the sky, we could directly attack the enemy's only way forward - a narrow river valley - from the No. 5 position occupied by us.

Anyone who wants to pass by there will inevitably be hit by the No. 5 position first. Not to mention the enemies far away, even the enemies who just escaped from there were all hit by the mortars on the No. 5 position.

Occupying high ground is so important. To some extent, the air force is a higher ground. The front command immediately informed the officers and soldiers at the front of the good news. There was no other meaning, just to tell them that the door was closed, and these dogs could be beaten slowly, don't rush, and don't cause unnecessary casualties.

The battle was proceeding in an orderly manner, and it lasted for a whole day.

The fighting in the western section of Weinan was in full swing, and the people in the capital were not idle either.

On the second day after the battle began, Gao Zhendong entertained the dragon and the phoenix, said goodbye to Lou Xiaoe, and came to the unit happily. As soon as he got to work, he received a notice to go to the Defense Working Committee, as there was a special meeting that required his participation.

Gao Zhendong immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the Defense Work Committee.

When he sat down, he found that the people here included people from the National Defense Committee, the army, and even the foreign affairs department.

This is normal. What happened during this period is closely related to the foreign affairs department. War is the continuation of politics, and foreign affairs work is the social aspect of politics. There is nothing wrong with it.

The only thing that is a bit abnormal is that the comrades in the army are not the same as the ones who were there at the last summary meeting of the first phase. This is puzzling. Even if they are doing rotation warfare, isn't this a bit too fast?

However, as soon as the meeting started, he found that he had guessed wrong. The reason he came here today was indeed related to the dirty three-pointer issue, but that was just an introduction. The real object of discussion was the marginal effect caused by this introduction, but the object involved in this marginal effect was more important.

That is, the Russians were extremely interested in how we destroyed an enemy tank regiment in just a few minutes. Their interest was so great that it was beyond the expectations of our comrades in charge of the relevant work.

When Gao Zhendong heard what the relevant comrades said, he almost laughed out loud. He was anxious, the Russians were anxious!

Gao Zhendong naturally knew best why the Russians were so anxious.

The only topic for this special meeting was whether or not to share this technology with the Russians.

In general, everyone expressed their own opinions at the meeting, and there were all kinds of attitudes. For example, considering the need to reduce the military pressure from the Russians, some comrades were still inclined to communicate.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. In the current environment, it is best to huddle together with the Russians for warmth.

As for the fact that the Russian bear will endure the eternity of evil, it is actually irreversible. It is impossible for the Russian bear to change its nature just because of a little external change and not step into the big pit of the graveyard of empires. The various problems in their country will not disappear or be cured without medicine.

Just like external temperature changes can affect whether you catch a cold, but cannot affect genetic diseases and gene defects.

However, Gao Zhendong believes that how to communicate is very important.

As usual, he, as the technical leader and inventor of the terminal-guided bomb, was supposed to provide opinions, and they were very important.

"Zhendong, what do you think?" The army leader turned to look at him, and asked the question first without the Defense Work Committee leader asking.

"Me? I tend to communicate, but only half."

This is not about incomplete communication or no communication at all. It's good to have something to watch, why do you need a bicycle!

"Oh? Please be more specific." Gao Zhendong's statement seemed to be an attempt to smooth things over, but both his comrades in the army and the Defense Work Committee knew very well that Gao Zhendong was not that kind of person. He must have his own ideas.

When you feel that he seems to be trying to smooth things over, then maybe there really is a reason for him to be so, at least from the scope and perspective of his responsibility.

"When I say I prefer communication, it's not to relieve their pressure, but to deter them and increase their pressure. After all, no matter how good something is, if you don't let people see how good it is, they won't respect it."

The leaders of the National Defense Committee and the Army were not surprised at all by Gao Zhendong's answer, which might have sounded a little outrageous to ordinary people at first.

They were well aware of Gao Zhendong's attitude towards the Russians. They cooperated with him on the surface and tried to win him over, but deep down they were extremely wary of the Russians.

To put it bluntly, they even knew that although the end-mining bomb was launched to target the Sindhu people, Gao Zhendong's real purpose in making this thing was never to target the Sindhu people, and they were not worthy of it at all.

Even the second-generation tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and long-range artillery were all aimed at this goal, targeting the Russians, and everything else was just a byproduct.

And his vigilance was right. Not only he felt the pressure from the north, but many people did too. So after the success of the terminal-guided bomb, the happiest person was not Gao Zhendong himself, but the big brother of the army.

It's just that Zang San jumped too high, so he just tried his hand on them first. The behavior of the Sindhu people is a typical example of "the first rafter to stick out will rot first".
