Chapter 076: Reversal (IV)

(This is the fourth update.)

Eastern Shan State, airspace, noon.

The blue sky was now stained with a faint gray-black layer. The atmosphere filled with gunpowder continued to blow along the wind, and the sound of cannons kept ringing in the distance, and the area began to become unstable again. It was even more violent than before, as if it was a big turmoil. Residents nearby went out to take refuge, while drug lords who had not been dispatched were searching for news everywhere.

The crow looked at everything below coldly, and a group of abandoned vehicles and chose to climb over the mountains began to walk towards the place where the Black Bear and the others set up cannons. He grabbed the radio and said, "Black Bear, I am a crow. A small group of militants appeared five kilometers northwest of yours. It is estimated that they will cross your defense line. Please eliminate it immediately."

"Black bear received." The black bear put down the radio and said to the team members behind him: "Adjust the muzzle, northwest direction, five kilometers."

With a few bangs, the crow drove a helicopter and circled at the enemy's site. Several shells hit the nearby area. The group of militants hurriedly fled everywhere. Unexpectedly, some unfortunate people just ran to the area where the shells flew down. A fire light left only a big pit in the spot where they were there, and there were no more people.

"Black bear, all the targets have been evacuated. They are decorating the union of drug dealers, so don't worry." The crow reported.

After patrolling this area, the crow drove the plane to the next area. Due to the uninterrupted artillery attack just now, almost everyone was taken care of. There were craters of all sizes everywhere, some were still emitting blue smoke, and some were ignited in the mountains and forests, and there was a tendency to rise and fall.

Although they used cannons to suppress the large troops in front and forced them to fight against the rebels in South Wa State, after all, the number of people was not enough and the coverage was relatively small. Some people still traveled across mountains and rivers to break through the defense line established by the Tiger Regiment. Zheng Qi naturally would not give them this opportunity, so he dispatched two planes to patrol nearby, looking for possible targets on the mountain.

Another helicopter flew in the distance. The crow looked up and said to the radio: "Brother Hong, it's time for you to go there."

"Understand." Hong Ming's concise language came, and the two sides exchanged local patrols, which effectively avoided some mistakes that individuals easily overlooked. This is also one of the solutions proposed by Zheng Qi.

A roar came from above his head. When the crow looked up, an airplane flew quickly through the sky. He looked closely and murmured: "Reconnaissance plane? Did the government forces also go on?"

...

South Wa State, front-line war zone, afternoon.

The teams of both sides have started a tug-of-war here, and rounds of artillery fire bombarded the opponent's positions. The rebellious Wa State Army faced a joint attack between drug dealers and the Wa State Army. Their advantage was getting smaller and smaller, and the pace of retreat was accelerating unknowingly. Although their general had already supervised the battle himself, the tendency of continuous retreat could not be avoided.

"When will these guys fight?" Lu Rong glanced at the time. It was already afternoon..., since the fight started at noon and continued until now. Although both of them were advancing and retreating, the opponent's offensive was stronger than theirs. In general, his team retreated a lot.

"Don't worry, I have mobilized the artillery that can be mobilized quickly nearby. I believe I will be able to move back to the situation in a while." Despite the continuous retreat, Mousa has remained calm because he stayed in a very safe place, and it was impossible for the enemy's shells to come here.

Lu Rong glanced at the front of the fierce battle. This was the most intense battle he had encountered since he wiped out Kunsha. Both sides had been fighting to the death, looking like he was completely unstoppable. He had no confidence in Musa's statement at this moment.

As for the Wa State troops and the joint forces of drug dealers who were surging attacks, they had too much helplessness and passivity. They did not try to retreat and avoid the rebels. But what they did not expect was that the firepower in the rear was even more fierce. As long as they approached the bombing area, the shells there would hardly be a stop, and there would be helicopters to observe their deployment. The planes above their heads were very smart and they could not kill them at all.

If they want to send a small group of troops to break through the small path, they have to overcome the geographical difficulties, and they have to face artillery fire that will be bombarded at any time. After trying a few times, the damage they suffered was undoubtedly huge. So in the end, they had no choice but to attack the rebels in South Wa State and strive to break through and find a way out.

Their alliance was also formed under such helpless circumstances. After all, there are only more than 2,000 or less than 3,000 teams in Wa State, while the drug dealers have more than 5,000 people. This is undoubtedly a powerful combat organization. Driven by the desire to survive, they had to abandon the grudges they had made in the past and start to cooperate to fight the enemy.

But even if they unite, they still don’t have much advantage. Instead, the weapons invested by the rebel Wa State Army on the opposite side are getting stronger and stronger, and their firepower is becoming more and more fierce, and their pace of progress is suppressed again. Especially those drug dealers, after all, they are not regular troops, nor do they have the perseverance and momentum of regular troops, and they are just fighting for one go, rushing all the way to the end.

But the drug dealers had problems and were fighting here. Watching their familiar friends die one by one, the impulse flames in their hearts were gradually extinguished by cold water, and intentionally or unintentionally, they were also quietly slowing down.

No one wants to die, and no one is afraid of death. This is their common problem and the most taboo thing in battle and charge. But at this moment, these things are like a cloud, covering everyone's heads. Facing death, no one among them can muster up the courage to face it.

So once one of the drug dealers retreated, the others would retreat. In the end, only the Wa State Army were left to rush forward to resist the attack of the rebel Wa State Army. However, the drug dealers were making small thoughts behind their backs or avoiding bullets.

"They are retreating." Lu Rong put down the telescope, and the team opposite had lost the momentum just now.

"We must change our strategy. After all, we may not be able to reach North Wa State in a short time now. There is also a force ahead of us who do not know our identity for the time being. Their firepower is too strong, so it is best for us not to move forward easily now." Musa said on the side, "Mobilize the firepower, seize the time, and eliminate all these people, so as to save trouble in the future."

Lu Rong nodded and said to an officer beside him: "We are now starting to change our strategies, give up going north to raid Wa State, and instead give up the priority of solving this group of people. Spread the team and attacking from all directions. They are already tired. Now is a good time for us to attack, strive to eliminate them all, and leave no prisoners."

...

Eastern Shan State, Central.

The artillery fire had stopped for a long time, and the soldiers were resting on the spot. Zheng Qi brought a truckload of ammunition and food, and some civilians were even distributing food to replace logistics work. These were the people who came voluntarily when Zheng Qi went back. When Ding Rui proposed this idea, Zheng Qi was stunned. He had been together for a while, but he never expected that the people would start to support them.

But I have to say that this is a good thing. Because the war suddenly happened, the soldiers here started from the morning and fought until the afternoon, and they must have been hungry. The people brought by Zheng Qi happened to provide them with the most scarce food, which undoubtedly added a handful of oil to keep them in their state.

The plane also stopped. Hong Ming bit a rice ball in his mouth, held the horizontal line in one hand, and slowly walked towards Zheng Qi.

"Everyone can report the situation while eating." Zheng Qi looked up at everyone and put away the map on the ground. The map is no longer useful now, and the battle is about to end, much earlier than he expected.

"I'll report it first." Hong Ming swallowed the food in one go. "According to statistics, the other party broke through a small scale of more than 30 times, but under the encirclement of our artillery and machine guns, they did not succeed once. There were five large-scale breakthroughs, three times on this side and two on the Black Bear side. The other party used military transport trucks. Unfortunately, we had a large number of javelin missiles, and the other party was almost wiped out."

"On my side, there is no problem in breaking through big and small. Although our number is too small, after all, our firepower is there, and they cannot successfully break through." He Ximei said, "and the other party dispatched two helicopters, both of which were shot down. Another time was probably the government reconnaissance plane, but due to the distance being too far, the weapons we currently possess cannot attack them."

"Report to the stern monkey, I'm a slim monkey." The voice of the slim monkey came from the radio, "Is the battle coming to an end? There have been no enemies here for nearly half an hour, and everyone is resting. And, what's wrong with this, there are traces of shelling everywhere, and the surrounding hillsides were probably cut down by shells by several meters. Even if an enemy wants to come, it won't be easy."

"In addition, ammunition supply is sufficient and there will be no problems. The report is completed."

"Everyone is doing well, we will win this time." After listening to their report, Zheng Qi pondered for a while, and then said something that made everyone cheer.

"I'll just say, so what about more than 10,000 people? Under our continuous artillery bombardment, they are going to run away in shame." The handsome guy cheered, "Under the powerful strength of our Tiger Group, the number of people, this originally important thing, is now ignored by us."

"You kid is like giving a speech." The boss next to him contemptuously, and then said: "I think it should be long live the Tiger Group. The Tiger Group's Invincible Golden Triangle will belong to us in the future."

Everyone was dizzy. Everyone didn't want them to be serious. Sometimes they just ignored them.

"Report to the commander, there are enemies ahead, with an estimated number of about one hundred people. They are quickly approaching us." A member of the Tigers ran over and said to Zheng Qi.

"Who dares to come over?" Zheng Qi asked, then waved his hand, "What should I do? You don't need to ask me, right?"

After saying that, Zheng Qi smiled, and everyone started laughing. Yes, they were all used to it. As long as the enemy dared to approach, they would pick up the machine gun beside them without saying a word, or carry the rocket launcher beside them. If there were too many enemies, they would also set up mortars. In any case, under the suppression of overwhelming firepower, no one could pass by by chance.

The battle started again, and only a small number of the people from the Tiger Regiment were dispatched. After all, this scale of battle is not worthy of their large-scale deployment. What kind of elite is that? Although this sounds arrogant, the fact is that they are fifty people able to take out a team of two or three hundred people, not to mention that they are only a little over 100 now and they have the advantage.

The m2 machine gun kept roaring, and from time to time, accompanied by the explosion of rockets, the civilians who came to support also carried the machine guns and fired in front of them. Although it was not very good, it also added a large amount of firepower. At this time, Hong Ming and the Crow boarded the plane again. They needed to patrol the battlefield for the final inspection to confirm the final situation.

A sound of surprise and anger came from the front of "Hu Yi". Hu Yi stood up and went to take a look. Zheng Qi was curious and followed.

"Hu Yi, you bastard, dare to deal with us. You must not die well," someone below shouted loudly.

"Oh, Wang Laohu, why are you here?" Hu Yi laughed a few times, "I'm glad to see you, but now is not the time."

"Hu Yi, why do you bastard unite other forces against us?" Wang Laohu shouted in the distance.

"There is no way, who told you to hinder our progress?" Hu Yi said coldly, using what Zheng Qi said, "I have nothing to say, you are all finished, and from today on, everything you will belong to Commander Zheng. Surrender now may give you a decent way of death, if not-"

"I'm a pussy"

"Okay, mortar preparation," Hu Yi shouted, "Send them to the road."

"Call the Falcon, I'm Hong Ming." Hong Ming's voice came over, "It's quiet and peaceful here. If there are a little sunset and clouds, it's probably a very beautiful view. But - it's a pity that I didn't bring my camera."

"Hahaha..." Zheng Qi couldn't help laughing, "Hong Ming, when did you learn the evil tastes of two brothers?"

"Haha, the two little bastards muttered in my ear every day. How can I not learn something?" Hong Ming said with a smile, "The battle here has all ended. The bloody earth cannot see any complete person. The rebellious Wa State has also retreated, and they have won the battle."

"What about the damage? Can you estimate it?" Zheng Qi asked.

"This-" Hong Ming dragged his tone, "Crow, young people, come and count how many people are here."

"What? How do I count so many people? Are you kidding?" The crow's crying voice came, "Sir, they were wiped out. I guess those who ran away would hide in the deep mountains and forests. There would be no threat anyway."

"Okay, you guys come back now"

Zheng Qi cut off the radio and looked up at everyone present staring at him. Zheng Qi laughed, and everyone laughed, and then he shrugged: "Why are you staying there? Are you not tired of standing there when you finish work?"

A simple sentence ends, proclaiming the final victory of this war of attrition...
