Chapter 072 Unexpected

Three days later, except for the soldiers who were defending the camp, Zheng Qi brought a total of 80 members of the Tiger Regiment to dispatch this time. This was also their largest operation since attacking Li Jie's territory, and in terms of equipment, they were one level stronger than before.

The armored vehicles and the personnel carriers drove out together. The personnel carriers mainly dragged the artillery and carried a large amount of ammunition. After all, this battle would not be simply over. Thousands of people from the other side attacked. According to the drug dealers' wishes, they should have taken the opportunity to sneak attack on the southern Wa State, which had already been empty inside. But Zheng Qi had no intention of avoiding it. He placed the howitzers on the way that the Wa State army would appear. It seemed that he planned to stop them all.

"Commander Zheng, our people have arrived." Hu Yi ran out of the woods in the distance. There were about a hundred militants there. They all replaced the AK series with the M4 with the grenade launcher, and many fewer people were carrying the At4 bazooka. All of this is due to Zheng Qi, who gave them a few days ago to raise their equipment level to a higher level, and they are no longer the poor look of those who were carrying the AK and RPG.

"Where have the people from Wa State gone?" Zheng Qi asked. They were responsible for guerrilla observation in this area and grasping the movements of the Wa State army.

"It's about fifteen kilometers away from us. Last night, I sent a few brothers out to put some things on the road and created some roadblocks. They probably won't come so soon." Hu Yi said with a smile. There are very few roads here. Once they are destroyed, it will take a long time to repair it. Hu Yi and the others did this and successfully delayed the Wa State army.

"Well, it's a good job," Zheng Qi nodded, "Where are those people from the drug dealers alliance?"

"They went along the east, trying to bypass the Wa army and then sneak attacked the cities of southern Wa state." Hu Yi said, thinking for a while, and adding: "They probably haven't left for a long time now, and they probably haven't found out that we haven't kept up."

"Don't worry about these things, they will soon meet the Wa army." Zheng Qi said.

Hu Yi was a little confused, but Zheng Qi did not explain much. He led his people to climb a mountain next to him and picked up a telescope. Although he could not see clearly, according to the news sent back by the spies, the Wa State army was not far away from them.

"Okay, let's rest on the spot now. Let's tell me when the Wa State army approaches." Zheng Qi took off the telescope. Before the time came, he was not in a hurry yet.

After waiting for a while, the report from the Wa State Army did not come. Instead, the correspondence from the temporary alliance came, asking Hu Yi and Zheng Qi to answer.

"Hey, I'm Hu Yi, I'm Hu Yi." Hu Yi shouted a few words. This old-fashioned radio is not of great quality, so you have to shout loudly. Usually, those drug dealers don't use these at all. But now it's an extraordinary moment. They have made such a suit, and they even heard that they have made a joint military flag, which is really ridiculous.

"Hu Yi, why didn't you come?" A man asked in a rough voice, with a little unhappy tone.

Hu Yi looked at Zheng Qi and asked him how to answer.

"You said we encountered an enemy and are trapped now. They may go to you. You must be careful." Zheng Qi made up this sentence.

After hearing this, Hu Yi hesitated for a second, and said, "Hey, hey, Wang Laohu, are you still listening? Hello?"

"I'm still here." The man's voice came again.

"We just shot here and there were some problems with our communication. This is the case..." Hu Yi retweeted to the man nicknamed Wang Laohu according to what Zheng Qi said.

"What?" Wang Laohu shouted, "How is it possible? The Wa State army has already passed through it. How could you meet them?"

Just as Hu Yi was seeking Zheng Qi's help, he waved his hand and signaled to hang up the radio and disconnected from the other party.

"Big Brother, Big Brother" A drug dealer ran from a distance, and the rifle behind him shook, with a sense of panic on his face. "Big Brother, the Wa State army is now about ten kilometers away from us, and they are accelerating."

"Commander Zheng, they are coming, what should we do?" Hu Yi asked. He was a little anxious. After all, their people would not exceed 200, and the other party was said to have nearly 10,000 people, which was not of the same level at all.

"Ahem, Black Bear, now you are performing with your group of artillery." Zheng Qi said to the Black Bear who was carrying ammunition beside him. "Start now, hitting the shells to an area eight kilometers away does not require accuracy, but they must be fast, and we have many people who have very strong firepower."

"I understand, sir." Hei Xiong gave a military salute, and then fiddled with his team members to play the fifteen 152mm howitzers, adjusted their direction, and aimed at the Wa State Army's position.

"Hong Ming, Crow, you can go out now." Zheng Qi issued an order to the two pilots who were still staying in the camp.

"Understand" two responses, Hong Ming and Raven have always been capable of doing things and don't need to give more instructions.

"Okay, the rest of the attention." Zheng Qi shouted loudly, and everyone listened.

"Everyone covers your ears and be careful of the noise."

“…”

Everyone was in a dark line, thinking that Zheng Qi was going to announce something important.

But then, when the cannon sounded, each of them covered their ears at the same time. The bass-like "boom" sounds hit everyone's hearts like a hammer. If you hear too much, you will naturally feel uncomfortable. Slowly, everyone is getting farther and farther away, while Black Bear and the others are still filling in the bullets with enthusiasm. Their ears are stuffed, and the noise problem will not have much impact for the time being.

The attack of fifteen large-caliber artillery is considered very powerful in this area. Moreover, according to previous news, the military government did not even have such large-caliber artillery. This is a continuous attack, and there is almost no stop. Several troop trucks parked next to it, with ammunition on it, so they naturally don’t have to worry about these problems.

"Falcon, I'm a crow." The crow's voice came, "Your position was off, but the other party stopped, as if he was planning to change direction."

"You provide us with a location and we will calibrate it." Zheng Qi shouted, the noise here was too noisy.

After getting the latest position, Black Bear and the others began to adjust, and Hong Ming and Crow on the front line were also reporting the data. Although the accuracy was not very good, they had a lot of ammunition. In the case of a large base, even if the hit rate was very low, it could also cause great damage. Moreover, Zheng Qi did not have much hope for the killing situation. Just hit the cannon near them and let them hear it.

With a "boom", a shell hit several kilometers west of them, and a roar echoed, and some gravel actually flew over, and then a ball of black fog rose. It seemed that the other party also began to attack.

"Everyone be careful, try to find a safe place to hide," Zheng Qi said with a smile. The other party must have been fighting back, but the goal is unclear, it is just a blind attack. The shot just now is probably a coincidence.

"Hong Ming, crow, you can keep an eye on the enemy's gunfire position and try to help us solve these problems." Zheng Qi shouted to the radio, while he himself hid next to the armored vehicle, causing a group of soldiers to look at each other.

"I understand, we have discovered the target, and now launch a rocket." Hong Ming's calm voice came.

...

After a long time.

"Report to the sir, the ammunition is exhausted." A Tiger soldier ran over and took off the tampon that was plugging his ears.

"Stop work." Zheng Qi nodded and said.

Everyone was stunned again. The group of them were ready for so long, just watching Black Bear and others excitedly fired a shell of 100 or 200 rounds, and then they had enough rest. Now they would go back to work?

"What do you think I'm doing?" Zheng Qi touched his face. "If you still want to fight, run eastward now. I guess you can still encounter the Wa State Army that is turning around. Maybe you will also encounter the drug dealers who have encountered the Wa State Army."

"But you guys are playing with you. Going there is a terrible death now. Don't call me. I don't dare to rush to this muddy water now." Zheng Qi shrugged and said with a smile.

He originally thought that the other party might rush over with the threat of being hit by the shells, so he led people to resist and retreat while the people in the camp were responsible for providing ammunition. Anyway, there were probably thousands of shells there, so they could retreat while waiting for support. After such a round, the other party would definitely not dare to go this path again.

But what was unexpected was that if more than 100 shells passed, the other party had already changed direction. It seemed that Zheng Qi still looked up to them or underestimated his strength. With the killing of howitzers of this caliber, more than 100 shots would probably be able to level the hillside in front. Where can anyone dare to take the risk?

"Report to the Falcon, the Wa State team continued to rush eastward, trying to bypass the area we had just shot." Hong Ming's voice came, "But they were also in trouble. They passed through some private armed territory in the area and had some conflicts. Now they have started fighting."

"Continue to observe." Zheng Qi said. This is exactly what he hopes to see. It can consume some of the Wa State troops. The threat he faces will be much smaller. If the group of drug dealers can successfully capture the cities of Southern Wa State, Bao Xiang's goal should be directly aimed at them and forget Zheng Qi's less important goal. After all, I believe Bao Xiang will not be confused when dealing with a person and the territory facing loss. In this way, Zheng Qi will have enough time to develop at that time. Whether it is to replenish troops or purchase equipment, the strength of his legion can only become stronger and stronger.

"Report to the Falcon, the Wa State Army and the drug dealer alliance were staggered, and they failed to meet." The crow said.

"What a pity." Zheng Qi shook his head and sighed, hoping that they could fight. Unexpectedly, this was the result. Perhaps he should have acted faster and calculated the time, so that the Wa State army would encounter the Alliance troops by coincidence.

"But..." Hong Ming's hesitant voice came, "The Wa State Army does not seem to be planning to continue moving forward, but it seems to be retreating?"

"Continue to pay attention, maybe someone reports that the group of drug dealers were found." Zheng Qi said.

"There is another doubt. Their army seems to be less than 10,000, and even less than 5,000." Hong Ming's surprised voice came.

"What's going on?" Zheng Qi grabbed his head, "Hong Ming, keep moving forward, don't care about these people for the time being, just let the crow be responsible."

"You rush to the vicinity of Southern Wa State to see what's going on."

"clear"

...

After more than ten minutes, Hong Ming's voice came again: "Falcon, it's probably lively this time, and it's very lively."

Hong Ming's voice was a little excited and surprised, not knowing what happened to him.

"That group of drug dealers actually exchanged fire with a large number of troops in South Wa State, and they were all dressed in Wa State. The number was probably more than the group of people just now, and it was probably more than twice as many. There might be more."

"Continue to observe." Zheng Qi put down the radio. Since it was a public channel, He Ximei and the others naturally heard these conversations.

"More than twice the military power is still concentrated in South Wa State? What is Bao Xiang doing?" He Ximei walked over, and she was also a little confused about the situation.

"I don't know." Zheng Qi shook his head, "Wait for Hong Ming's news, this is really an unexpected thing."

(Since the next is an expansion battle, the usual weekend updates are pushed back to Monday, which is tomorrow.)

Chapter 073: Reversal (I)

Everyone on Zheng Qi's side was quiet. He took out a map and carefully studied the layout around South Wa State. Logically speaking, Bao Xiang could not have left behind. After all, the firefighting in North Wa State must be very fierce. And even if he left behind, he would not leave more than twice the support force in South Wa State.

"What the hell is it?" Zheng Qi muttered, looking up at He Ximei with inquiring eyes. Her brain is also very useful, and sometimes she can also remind Zheng Qi of some key places that he didn't think of either.

He Ximei shook her head gently and picked up the radio, "Hey, crow, what is the movement of that army now?"

"They retreated in large numbers, and their target direction was South Wa State. Some people also abandoned the heavier artillery, as if there was something urgent in the rear to ask them to rush back. And even if I flew low, they didn't care to attack me." The crow's voice came.

He Ximei cut off the communication, held her hands behind her back, and shook it a few times in the spot, thinking about something.

"Things are complicated, let's just make an assumption." He Ximei suddenly walked to Zheng Qi and picked up the map. "Look, the fire exchange between the joint troops and the South Wa State that Hong Ming mentioned is here, but it is far from the military camp of the South Wa State. If they want to go out to support the North Wa State, they will definitely not take this path, but now they have appeared here in large numbers, which seems to be premeditated."

"Let me see." Zheng Qi stared at the map, "You can also lead to Wa State from here, and pass through the gate of the Fourth Special Zone and pass through the rear of Wa State. Now Bao Xiang and the others are still resisting in the front. How could they go directly to the rear? Isn't that a waste of time?"

"It's just that this is the blame." He Ximei nodded, "It seems that they have received different orders, or are planning to surround them on both sides, and have any other plans?"

"Slow down, what did you say just now?" Zheng Qi reached out to signal He Ximei to stop. He Ximei glanced at him and said, "They have other plans?"

"No, right, the previous sentence" Zheng Qi shook his head and frowned. He seemed to have caught some key point.

"Previous sentence? They received different orders?" He Ximei said with her eyebrows bent.

"Yes, that's what it said." Zheng Qi suddenly said loudly, with a sense of excitement in his words, and hurriedly gestured on the map with his hands, "Look, South Wa State leads west to Southern Shan State, and from the Fourth Special Zone, if a large number of Southern Shan troops gather, they can attack Wa State forward and backward."

"It's not clear enough?" Zheng Qi looked up at the people with a confused look on his face. "Is it clear that the Wa State rebellion is clear? They received different orders, which means that two commanders were giving orders. The way to support this fool from behind cannot be done by the officers of Wa State. This can only be a surprise attack from the back and attacking Wa State on both sides. South Wa State is very close to South Shan State. If there are troops going north from there, North Wa State will definitely be finished."

"Some truths, but why did those officers who supported Beiwa not expect this? Did only half of the people dispatch and most of them stayed there? Can't they notice anything?" He Ximei asked in confusion.

"I don't know this," Zheng Qi shook his head, "but they definitely didn't notice it. Look, now they retreat in large numbers, what does that mean? It means they know that there is someone behind them. They are eager to go back to support them, and they don't even care about Northern Wa State."

"It makes sense." Everyone nodded, and then everyone looked at Zheng Qi at the same time. He had been very excited since he shouted just now, and even the voices of his speech were loud and small. Even if everyone was a fool, he should know what plans Zheng Qi had in his mind.

"Get me a radio and hurry up," Zheng Qi shouted, then looked at He Ximei, "Wife, how long does it take for the current Wa State army to run back to South Wa State?"

He Ximei gave him anger and said nothing at this time. There were so many people who were embarrassed, but he still said: "It won't take long. According to their marching speed, they are driving now, probably in about an hour."

"They will speed up, from returning and then encountering drug dealers at most an hour. Then they find something wrong, fleeing everywhere, and the team disperses, which is probably within one hour. There is only one hour, one hour." Zheng Qi repeated a few times and grabbed the radio handed over by the soldiers. "Hey, soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, you can bring me all the guys in the base and bring me the remaining artillery, mortars, missiles, and all the shells. Don't ask why, you only have thirty minutes, give me a quick time."

"Don't ask first, listen to me first." Zheng Qi waved his hand to stop everyone's questions. "Looking at the map, the South Wa State, the United Forces and the Supporting Forces will meet here, and the surrounding mountains are all mountains, and most of them are high mountains. There are only two or three roads that they can disperse, including two big roads near the border in the east and two big roads. The west is close to Nanshan. There are more mountains in this area, but there are many small roads, but they are all driving and cannot pass at all, so it is just one road."
