End Times Dust Light

Chapter 987: Surprise (1)

Zhang Yechang tapped his fingers on the table, thinking quickly in his mind: “Lu Shuai is right. If he is passively beaten and sticks to Xincheng, the result will only be a failure, but it is a matter of time. If you take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the opportunity for the enemy to gain a foothold. At the time of stability, our chances of winning will reach more than 65 percent. We need to consider several issues, one is how many troops need to be sent, and the other is how to appear near Jixiang under the eyes of the enemy, if the enemy is allowed to react in advance Come, the plan will inevitably fail, and Xincheng will be in danger at that time!”

“A surprise attack!” Lao He’s eyes lit up and he immediately followed Zhang Yechang’s thinking: “This is indeed a good way to launch a surprise attack when the enemy is not ready to block all the enemy forces in the ruins. The enemy troops on the periphery are eliminated, and the enemy troops in the ruins cannot come out. We will win this battle!”

This is indeed the case. The reason why the enemy did not place 30,000 troops around Ji Township is because on the one hand, the small Ji Township simply cannot accommodate 30,000 troops. On the other hand, it is because of the need for concealment, which creates surprise attacks. The opportunity?

“From our investigative intelligence, about a thousand soldiers are hidden around Jixiang, and all the rest are in the ruins. If the battle starts and the battle can be ended within an hour, at most four soldiers can be dispatched from the ruins. Thousands of troops, together we have to face the resistance of 5,000 enemy troops, and we must dispatch more than 10,000 people to ensure that the battle is over within an hour, but it takes at least half an hour for 10,000 people to reach Jixiang from Xincheng. During this time, the enemy may have discovered our combat intentions?”

“What the old man said is good…” Lu Ziming is also having a headache for this problem: “The problem now is how to make 10,000 troops appear around Jixiang without knowing it, and hit the enemy by surprise!”

“This question is simple. Why should we send ten thousand troops to Jixiang all at once?” Zhang Yechang smiled and said, “If you know that hiding the whereabouts of ten thousand troops is impossible at all, but if you hide three thousand people? Or clearly The plank road was built to cross the warehouse and the army was broken into pieces. It is easy for us to quietly deploy the army around Jixiang. When the enemy finds it, it is too late. My plan is like this…”.

After intense discussion, a plan to hide the truth from the sky came out smoothly.

A battle between reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance quietly kicked off. The Military Commission’s ability to sneak into Xincheng for the beheading operation shows that the Military Commission has already deployed an insider in Xincheng. It is impossible to hide the eyes of the insider in large-scale operations. The army was sent around Jixiang before the **** was detected, and it was too late when the **** was discovered.

Because the dark clouds of war hovered over Xincheng, Xincheng entered the third-level combat readiness state a few days ago. The army canceled vacations, and soldiers were forced to stay in the army not to go out and walk around.

“Attention all Xincheng citizens! Now Xincheng has entered a second-level combat readiness state. Please stay at home and do not go out to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to create chaos…!”

“The enemy’s spies were found in Xincheng. I hope that Xincheng City will cooperate with the army. When suspicious people around me contact the military in an emergency, in order to maintain Xincheng’s hard-won and stable environment, please stay calm in Xincheng and refrain from it during the curfew. If you’re out and about, please notify the nearest soldier immediately if you have any problems?”

“……”

The entire Xincheng city has entered a state of martial law. Soldiers on the streets are constantly patrolling. The atmosphere is unusually tense, but this is not the first time. Most citizens calmly dealt with the issuance of martial law, and only a few people were unwilling on the street. After leaving, he was immediately taken to a truck by soldiers and detained.

Vehicles full of soldiers roared out of Xincheng from all directions. Most of the orders they received were to strengthen patrol missions around Xincheng to prevent possible enemy attacks.

Naturally, this will not attract too many people’s attention, because during this time Xincheng citizens all know that the war with the military committee is about to start, and it is strange if there is no action.

The martial law did not have much impact on Xincheng’s life, because the scope of the martial law was limited to the main streets and important military facilities. If citizens move in the community, they would not be blocked by soldiers. They only asked to stay away from the streets and the shops should be closed early. Locked, the street looked empty. There were a few soldiers standing on the corner looking around, without seeing a few dark shadows moving quickly towards the barracks.

In some tall buildings, there are a few soldiers hidden, and the telescope in his hand is watching every corner of Xincheng nervously.

“Get in the car as soon as possible, don’t rush, check their weapons and equipment, today’s action is to patrol the N012 area…”

“Boys, all cheer up. A suspicious target is found in the B520 area. Everyone is vigilant and ready to go!”

“……”

It is impossible to launch a military operation of tens of thousands of people without revealing a little bit of wind, but Lu Ziming doesn’t care, as long as half an hour’s hiding is enough, 5,000 soldiers will appear in the quarter within half an hour. Around the township, after the battle begins, another 5,000 soldiers will arrive one after another to encircle the enemy forces hiding in Jixiang.

This is a war against time. The victory or defeat of the two sides depends on who finds out first. If the enemy knows the actions of Xincheng in advance, a steady stream of troops will come out from the ruins and launch against the unsettled Xincheng army. Offensive, the situation will inevitably fall to the side of the Military Commission. If the Xincheng army suddenly appeared around Jixiang, the enemy would be caught off guard by the Xincheng army, and the development of the situation would benefit the Xincheng army.

When the Military Commission hid the army under the noses of Xincheng, he would never expect to be discovered by Xincheng. Jixiang is not far from Xincheng. It only takes three or four hours from the assembly of the army to the attack on Xincheng. A hit Xincheng caught off guard, it can be said that the winning ticket is in hand.

The soldiers who were kept in the dark received new orders as soon as they left the city to gather in the direction of Xiaogang, three miles away from Jixiang. Only then did the soldiers react to fighting.

It is said that the enemy army hiding in Jixiang is the 87th Main Combat Division of the Military Commission. This is an army capable of fighting tough battles, with a total strength of more than 30,000. Just as Zhang Yechang speculated, in order for this army to launch a surprise attack, all its forces were hidden in the ruins, leaving only a few scouts hiding in the surrounding abandoned houses, closely monitoring the surrounding movement.

As the commander of the 87th Division, Song Wensong, this time was not easy. The Military Commission gave Song Wensong two tasks. One was to quickly take over the defense of Xincheng after Lu Ziming accepted the conditions of the Military Commission, without giving Lu Ziming time to regret it. . Second, once the negotiation fails, launch a sudden attack on Xincheng after the beheading action, and take advantage of Xincheng’s chaos to occupy Xincheng.
