Chapter 277: Breaking the Whole into Zero: Dog Walking Tactics
An hour later, looking at the Hull City standing on the Gunado River in Mongolia at the end of his sight, Li Feier ordered: "Let the First Armored Grenadiers Regiment prepare to attack the city, and the Armored Artillery Regiment prepare to break through the city gates and open a gap. In one go, we will capture the Hull City, which is known as the granary of Mongolia!"
It was golden autumn now. The sky was high and the clouds were light over the endless grassland. A gentle breeze was blowing on your face. Looking into the distance, you could see herds of cattle and sheep and groups of herdsmen at the end of the grassland.
Li Feier couldn't help but sigh: "It's such a beautiful place with abundant water and grass, but it's a pity that it fell into the hands of Fuso dog!"
A moment later, at the artillery position of the armored heavy artillery regiment, a large number of 105MM howitzers and 150MM heavy artillery roared like thunder, and the shells cut through the sky and fell on the west wall of Hull City like meteorites.
After the Ono Division almost went out in full force, only two infantry squadrons were left in Hull City. After a round of artillery fire, they not only blew open the city gate, but also eliminated the enemy's firepower points near the city gate area. While the Fuso soldiers in the city were still in a daze, outside the city, a large number of infantrymen from the 1st Armored Grenadier Regiment under the Zhenxing Division, under the cover of armored units, rushed towards Hull City like a tide.
In just half an hour, the 1st Armored Grenadier Regiment had successfully entered the city and took control of the Fuso Army Headquarters in the city. Under Li Fei's order to leave no one alive, two squadrons, totaling more than 300 Fuso soldiers, were all executed. The Revitalization Division quickly burned down the four large supply warehouses of the Fuso Kwantung Army in the city and left quickly.
The flames rising from Hull City soon attracted the attention of other Fuso troops. By the time the commander-in-chief of this battle, Commander of the Hongchuan Division, Yamamoto Ryuki, arrived in Hull City, the most important supply warehouse of the Fuso Kwantung Army in central Mongolia had been burned to the ground. A total of 160,000 tons of food, as well as diesel, tents, guns and ammunition, were all destroyed.
The huge losses caused made Yamamoto Ryuki's eyes go dark and he almost fell to the ground. You know, the large supply warehouse in Hull City was built and filled by the Fuso Kwantung Army with countless efforts. Now it was burned to ashes. As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Yamamoto Ryuki was bound to take the blame.
"Baga! Those cunning Chinese, bastards! After breaking out of the encirclement, they went the other way and headed east to Hull City, burning our supply warehouse! Find their tracks immediately. I will kill the commander of this unit and rip his bones off, to vent my hatred!"
Originally according to Yamamoto Ryuki's analysis, after breaking through the encirclement, the best option for the Revitalization Division was to retreat westwards and defend the main city in the west of Mongolia that they had already captured. Unexpectedly, Li Feier did the opposite and directly cut off the source of the fire, which hit the heart of the Kwantung Army. Yamamoto Ryuki was furious and issued an order to search for and annihilate the Revitalization Division on the grassland.
At this time, the Revitalization Division had already arrived at the Kata grassland area, 140 kilometers north of Hull City.
"Commander, what should we do next? The Fuso people are like mad dogs. Their small reconnaissance teams are everywhere on the grassland. This morning, we have wiped out two of them. If they lose contact for too long, our position will be completely exposed."
In the makeshift headquarters tent, Li Feier smiled slightly, pointed at the map on the table and said, "The Fuso army has been completely thrown into disarray after we burned down their large supply warehouse. After they lost their short-distance supply source, the fastest and shortest supply source is Harlaner City, 320 kilometers to the east. The supplies in Bayan City alone cannot sustain the long-term consumption of 150,000 troops."
"Next, we will break up into smaller groups and continuously harass their supply lines from Harlaner City to Bayan City. We will move from one place to another after each attack, with the goal of burning their supplies and making them run for their lives. I want to exhaust them to death on the grassland!"
"This is the tactical plan we are going to implement next. I call it the dog-walking tactic."
Seeing Li Fei'er's serious expression, Wilde and Liu Kevin couldn't help but smile.
"Notify all the lower-level troops of the Revitalization Division to disperse in battalion units. While ensuring sufficient mobility, each unit will carry supplies. Some units will harass their supply lines, while others will continue to raid their main forces. Remember, do not linger in a fight. Once you succeed, flee immediately."
"Yes, Commander!"
Five days later, at the Hongchuan Division Command Post in Bayan City, Yamamoto Ryumu's eyes were red as he sat cross-legged in his room, waving the command knife in his hand continuously, cutting the lit candles on the low table into two pieces one by one.
Over the past five days, the Fuso Kwantung Army units led by the Hongchuan Division have been tortured to the point of going crazy. The Zhenxing Division has been broken up into small units, with battalions as units, and has been harassing the regiments and squadrons under the command of several major divisions from time to time. The most uncomfortable thing is that the enemy's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, their execution ability is terrifying, and their mobility is also incredible. Often, when the main force has just received the news and is preparing to rescue, the enemy has already fled away after a blow and disappeared again.
The reconnaissance teams of the Fuso army that were dispersed to search for the whereabouts of the Revitalization Division on the grassland became the prey of the Revitalization Division. The entire team lost contact, making them completely blind. Now the reconnaissance teams have become high-risk troops that no one is willing to join.
What's more crucial is that a considerable number of Revitalization Division troops have begun to attack the supply line of more than 300 kilometers stretching from Harlan City to the east of Bayan City. Once they encounter the logistics troops transporting supplies from Fuso, they immediately pounce on them like wild wolves on the grassland, killing all the people and burning all the supplies, making Yamamoto Ryuki not have a good sleep in the past few days.
As a last resort, Yamamoto Ryuki sent out three infantry regiments to protect the safety of the logistics transport regiment, but what made Yamamoto Ryuki sad was that not only did it fail to have a deterrent effect, but with the cooperation of the opponent's four battalion-level troops, the three infantry regiments were directly wiped out, causing extremely serious damage to the Fuso army.
"Division Commander! News has come from the Salma tribe east of Bayan City that our transport squadron that was detouring from the north was once again attacked by the enemy. All the soldiers in the squadron were killed, and the supplies were also burned by the enemy!"
Yamamoto Ryuki gritted his teeth, stood up, and waved the samurai sword in his hand hysterically with his eyes like a ferocious ghost.
This sudden scene frightened the messenger so much that he almost lost his balance and sat down on the ground.
"Baga! Baga! Damn the Northwest Revolutionary Army! These cunning rats, if I catch them, I will definitely send them to the eighteenth level of hell!"
