Chapter 2501 Great Victory
Chapter 2794 Great Victory
The evening breeze blew in, revealing a cool breeze. Li Wei smiled and lit a cigarette. They were less than 500 meters away from the enemy's vanguard, and the soldiers behind were still moving slowly.
Now we can clearly observe the movements of the enemy's vanguard. So far, the enemy has not made any unusual movements. It is certain that the enemy has not set up a large number of outposts.
After all, the enemy should not be able to imagine that the regular army has the courage to attack, and has come to their noses. Rocco on the side was extremely excited. He had found some places where he could set up the cannons, first launch a round of artillery fire, and then start charging.
The enemy's vehicles were not many. It seemed that they had been in action for at least three days. It can be seen that the enemy was not worried about being attacked in this place.
This place is still 50 kilometers away from the southern headquarters. The enemy can rest assured and advance slowly.
Li Wei began to call some commanders of the troops over and opened the map under a hillside. Li Wei pointed to some nearby locations. I hope you will send troops to guard these places when you start the war.
Li Wei glanced at the time, it was already 10 o'clock.
"I'll briefly explain the situation. What you need to do is that this will be an annihilation battle tonight. After the battle, leave about 1,000 people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the people will rush to the west immediately."
Li Wei said and began to arrange. Rocco listened in disbelief, because Li Wei wanted to directly annihilate the enemy here. Now the enemy is in the woods opposite the road in front of them. If the enemy reacts quickly, it can make an effective response, but now the bet is that the enemy has no way to react.
Li Wei pointed to the map and said.
"Once the enemy finds that they are in a passive position, they will run in these directions. At this time, what we need is to fire all the shells at these places to kill the enemy to the greatest extent."
As Li Wei said, all the commanders nodded. The current situation is indeed as Li Wei said. Although artillery fire can kill the enemy on a large scale, the depth of the forest where the enemy is located is relatively large, and the enemy can retreat completely.
Once the enemy retreats and organizes troops to start counterattacks, it will become a protracted war, which is obviously not in line with their expectations.
"What we need to do now is to lure the enemy to attack, and then give the enemy a heavy blow at the points I mentioned."
After Li Wei spoke for a while, a group of officers left one after another. Li Wei looked at the more than ten cannons that were slowly pulled over, and then began to order the soldiers to prepare for the assault.
Many soldiers woke up from their dreams. No one expected that they would have to fight the enemy head-on after waking up, and the number of enemies was much larger than theirs.
Only Li Wei knew that the first battle must be won. As long as this battle was won, the troops in other routes would be much more comfortable in the future. They should make good use of the enemy's confusion period and eliminate the enemy's living forces as much as possible.
Time passed by minute by minute. After the signalmen came over and told Li Wei that the deployment had been completed, Li Wei immediately gave the order, 11:35.
Bang.
Accompanied by a dazzling fire, shells flew out in an instant, and suddenly the forest in the distance was full of flames and explosions.
Li Wei looked at the soldiers who were ready to charge. They looked very scared, but it was obvious that the enemy had not expected that after the artillery fire lasted for ten minutes, the enemy had begun to get confused.
However, the enemy was not a pushover. Li Wei stopped the shelling, and the troops rushed up immediately. Li Wei had only one 2,000-man charge team, and the other soldiers had already gone to hold some points near the forest, and some heavy firepower weapons had been taken over.
Sure enough, along with the charge, the enemy also began to retreat. Although the situation was chaotic now, the enemy's organizational ability was still very strong. They began to retreat into the forest, trying to leave the range covered by the artillery fire.
Gunshots rang out, and the soldiers who charged came into contact with the enemy, and at this time the enemy also reacted and began to organize an effective counterattack.
Li Wei stared quietly at the movements in the forest. The soldiers had stopped and began to attack relying on some trees.
The situation was exactly as Li Wei had thought. Now the enemy had basically determined the number and scale of the soldiers who had attacked. They began to prepare to surround these soldiers in the opposite direction. Li Wei decisively issued a retreat order.
Soon the soldiers began to come back, and the enemy began to move. The first round of artillery fire did not cause much damage to the enemy. At most, the enemy lost some soldiers. After all, their supplies might not have arrived yet, and the enemy began to counterattack.
"Start defense immediately."
Li Wei laughed, and soon Rocco, who led the soldiers to charge, came back. He swallowed.
"Commander, the enemy is just as you said, and plans to surround us from both wings."
Li Wei smiled and nodded. At several locations on both wings, Li Wei had already arranged attacking troops, and they were like pliers. Once the enemy came, they would be firmly restrained. If they wanted to retreat, they would be exposed to artillery fire.
A few minutes later, the enemy recovered and began to use artillery fire. Li Wei ordered the troops to disperse. Soon, the enemy began to rush over, and fire appeared on both sides, less than a kilometer away.
A large number of enemies began to approach, and Li Wei organized the soldiers to cover with heavy firepower.
Sure enough, everything was just as Li Wei said. Every soldier was able to get a heavy firepower weapon. Bullets fell like rain, catching the enemy off guard, and the battle on both sides also started.
Balls of flames rose into the sky, and explosions continued to come. Li Wei sat quietly beside a tree, smoking silently. The enemy was finished. Once they began to disperse, the enemy would be finished.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the enemy showed signs of defeat, and the pursuit and annihilation troops that had been deployed in other places began to appear.
Under rounds of fierce artillery fire, the enemy became extremely chaotic in an instant, and their plan to gather troops to encircle from both sides was broken.
"You are really too confident, but your confidence tonight will cost you your lives."
After Li Wei finished speaking, she stood up and directly issued an order to charge again. The enemy's firepower was completely not at the same level as theirs. Li Wei then got on the jeep and directly mobilized the reserve troops, intending to bypass the road to block the enemy.
Soon the convoy set off, and thousands of reserve soldiers got on the car.
Li Wei smiled happily and lit a cigarette. There were roars all around her. Now the enemy could no longer gather. Once their attack was suppressed in such a dark night, it would be fatal.
20 minutes later, Li Wei led the soldiers around to the east side of the forest. They could already hear the sound. Li Wei immediately ordered the soldiers in the car to get off and rush into the forest. They began to find their positions and set up their heavy firepower weapons.
There was a loud bang, accompanied by a shell falling. Under the firelight, the enemy was running away in despair. The gunfire was loud. Li Wei sat in the jeep and watched the machine gun flames and mortar shells falling.
"It's a pity that you don't have a chance."
If the enemy went deeper into the forest, they would get lost and they would not have any supplies. This was a desperate choice for the enemy, but they had to make it.
2:13 am.
The gunshots were almost inaudible. Li Wei laughed. The battle was over. Soon, Li Wei returned to the front of the forest. Some officers were extremely happy because their losses were minimal, but a lot of ammunition and weapons were consumed.
"Don't be stingy with any ammunition and weapons. Take as much as you can and transport it to the supply point. Others get in the car and we'll go west."
Rocco swallowed. After this battle, many soldiers had joy on their faces because it was a big victory, which was unimaginable for most soldiers, and many soldiers didn't feel tired.
After all, they had rested well these days, and they came here by car, so they didn't need to walk at all. Even if they were to start another war right away, the soldiers felt it was completely fine.
The convoy began to turn around and set off in a mighty manner. Some empty trucks stayed behind, and the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers would finish cleaning the battlefield, then send some of the confiscated things to the supply point, and then go directly to the nearest attack route to join the troops.
Li Wei does not need the troops to be able to keep up with the pace completely, but the attacking troops must ensure sufficient weapons and ammunition. As long as there are sufficient weapons and ammunition, no matter how small the number of troops is, they can also achieve a very big victory.
And such a cross-attack can give the troops more rest time. Such tactics are too difficult for many commanders to complete.
Luo Ke now feels that Li Wei's tactics can be fully implemented, at least in the early stage, because when the enemy anticipates their intentions and operational strategies, many living forces have been annihilated.
"Have a good rest, it may be another battle when you wake up later."
The outpost car has disappeared. They will go to the designated west side for reconnaissance at the fastest speed. Once they find the enemy's movement, they will stop and wait for Li Wei and others to arrive, and then report the situation.
There are several uninhabited towns in the west. Many people have evacuated to avoid the war. Li Wei plans to cooperate with the two troops in the west in several towns to win another big victory, because the vision in the west is the broadest.
For this kind of frontal battle that relies on weapons and mobility advantages to carry out crushing operations, it is very advantageous, because the enemy cannot organize effective fortifications in a short time, and even if the town can be used as a shelter, it will become a grave once exposed to artillery fire.
Li Wei yawned, leaned back, and fell asleep soon.
Gradually, the car stopped. When Li Wei woke up, it was just 4:30 in the morning. They rushed 30 kilometers.
"Commander, we found some enemy outposts, the number is very small, only a few hundred people."
Li Wei nodded and ordered the whole army to rest, and then arranged 300 people to observe forward, resolutely not to alert the enemy, the enemy is in a small town 2 kilometers away from them, and the view there is very wide.
Li Wei ate a little, and then took people to walk. Soon Li Wei saw the town. According to the report of the scouts who went over, the enemy in the town seemed to have been stationed for many days, but their purpose was not yet known. They looked very relaxed.
The enemy headquarters will not know about the defeat of last night's battle until 8 or 9 tomorrow morning at the earliest, but Li Wei doesn't want such a small force, but needs more enemies, so that they are worth eating.
There are several roads leading to the north nearby, and the other two troops should be able to arrive today.
"Send a large number of scouts immediately, I need to know where the enemy is the largest."
Li Wei's goal was very clear. Before the other two attacking troops from the north arrived, they must find the enemy's large force that began to enter the north and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
As long as the north can still win, the troops in the south can continue to fight. If there is a problem in the north, Li Wei will lead people back to the middle road and directly attack the middle road.
"Commander, I don't think we need to worry too much. The big victory last night has already dealt a heavy blow to the enemy."
Rocco smiled, but Li Wei shook her head.
"The enemy carried too few supplies last night. It is certain that the enemy's supply troops have not come yet. We should wait a little longer. As long as the enemy's supplies are there, they can still reorganize the offensive."
Rocco smiled helplessly, and Li Wei said.
"The battlefield is like this, ever-changing, and perhaps it will never develop in the direction we want. I hope you can recognize this."
The victory last night was far from enough. It was not easy to annihilate tens of thousands of enemies at most. More enemies retreated into the woods. Although that unit could not be restored in the short term, it was still the enemy's living force.
No one can say for sure about such contact operations. If the enemy had not been careless, they might not have won so easily. When the enemy began to pay attention, their raid operations would be slowed down.
"We must achieve a very big victory within three days, otherwise the enemy will definitely try every means to counterattack."
Then Li Wei went directly to a car to sleep. Luo Ke was still a little worried and could only continue to watch. If the enemy discovered their large number of troops, the enemy might be alert.
At around 9 o'clock in the morning, Li Wei woke up. It was clearer during the day. Li Wei quickly arranged people to eat up this small force first. They seemed to have three or four hundred people, not many in number, and their weapons were also ordinary, all rifles, and no heavy firepower weapons.
"Let's catch them and ask about the situation first."
After Li Wei finished speaking, many soldiers began to pick up their weapons and prepared to attack, and at this time a motorcycle drove over at a high speed.
"We found the enemy's large force, at least 20,000 to 30,000 people."
