Richard, who was in the tactical command center of the Crow Tusi Mine, was about to explode with rage. Three regiment commanders stood in front of him. They were all commanders who had participated in the battle at the mine. They were all injured. Out of the eight regiments that had participated in the battle, only three survived!
The remaining five were all killed by Jiang Cheng. It could be seen how intense this battle was. Facing Long Xing's overwhelming advantage, these 1,000 men were played like chickens. Richard's face was frighteningly dark. His body was wrapped in white gauze, and he pointed at the three of them while trembling.
"Useless! Useless!! 1,000 men surrounded a few dozen, and 800 of them were defeated! You bunch of useless! "Richard scolded loudly. There was still a sharp pain in his chest, and he couldn't speak for a moment. There were less than three hours left to the promised time. If they still couldn't take down Wu Tu Town, he would be guilty.
Richard's expression turned serious, and his mind spun rapidly. There were less than three hours left, and he still had 11,000 men left. Even if they had been ambushed, the resistance army still had a huge advantage in terms of numbers. Richard thought that time was pressing, and there was no other way. They could only take down Wu Tu Town in one go. Only then could they protect their troops.
"Pass down the order." Richard suddenly stood up, and a few regiment commanders immediately straightened their bodies and pricked up their ears to listen to Richard's orders. Richard was decisive and calm. He ordered loudly, "All regiments, get into a charging formation and immediately charge towards Wu Tu Town. We must take down Wu Tu Town regardless of the cost."
After Richard finished speaking, all the regiment commanders were shocked. Regardless of the cost, in other words, they had to use human lives to ensure that the tanks would charge into Wu Tu Town! This kind of battle with high casualties was not what Richard was used to, but he was actually forced to this point today?
"Major General … how about …" At this moment, one of the regiment commanders wanted to say something. But Richard's eyes turned cold. He glanced at him and shouted, "Shut up! We only have less than three hours. We must take down Wu Tu Town! Understand? "
"Understood!" Richard's order was firm and decisive. The other commanders did not dare to raise any objections and quickly dispersed to gather their troops. In less than five minutes, a large number of tanks rushed out of the mine and charged towards Utushi Town.
The distance from the mine to Utushi Town was less than 15 kilometers. If the tank entered at full speed, it would only take less than ten minutes. If the infantry phalanx rushed over, it would only take them less than 20 minutes. With such a large-scale attack, even six thousand defending troops would not be able to withstand the resistance army's attack for the time it takes to finish a meal.
In addition,
The soldiers in Utushi Town didn't have any heavy equipment or anti-tank equipment. Relying solely on a gun and a landmine, this level of combat was on a completely different level. At that moment, in the town of Utusi, the officer guarding the city, Sweit, and the adjutant of the volunteer army, Hergua, were nervously preparing for battle.
All the soldiers were preparing the fence on the outer wall to stop the infantry. A five-meter-deep ravine was being excavated continuously. The fence was used to stop the infantry, while the ravine was used to stop the tanks. However, the ravine that was less than 30 meters long was not enough to completely block the entire town.
"There's not enough time. We can't continue digging. It will take at least half an hour to complete the entire fortification. Now, we can only retreat to Utushi Town. " Sweit had just received a battle report from the frontline. The resistance army was less than eight kilometers away from the mechanized troops. In other words, they would appear in front of everyone in seven minutes at most.
Hergua also frowned and said, "Once we give up the defense of the outer wall in front. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long in Utushi Town. With the help of the tanks, they can easily drive us out of the town. What should we do now? "
Sweit also revealed a difficult expression and said lightly, "The higher-ups have ordered us to defend to the death. Utushi Town is currently an important supply area outside the Baha oil field. If the resistance army attacks this place, they will definitely pull apart the northern and southern battlefronts. At that time, we will have nowhere to hide. "
As a remote town, Utushi Town originally did not have any offensive advantage at all. However, what they did not expect was that because this place was surrounded by mountains on both sides and there was only one road in and out, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The resistance army happened to see this advantage. They wanted to capture Utushi Town first, build a road on the Zanbi Hills, or send more troops to the airport.
In this way, they could occupy the Baha oil field and move the northern and southern battlefronts more than 300 kilometers south. However, the resistance army did not know that when they were thinking about this, they were very unlucky to provoke a person — Jiang Cheng. As the most important Zanbi oil field of the Huaxia Dragon Merchants, it happened to be behind Utushi Town.
In other words, the resistance army's capture of Utushi Town would be the most fatal blow to Jiang Cheng. No matter what the situation was, Jiang Cheng would not let them succeed so easily. At this time, on a hillside six kilometers away from Utushi Town.
A group of people ran from afar, their formation stable. Everyone's movements were almost sharp and uniform, as if they were a group of robots. They wore khaki-colored camouflage clothes that completely reflected the sunlight, completely hiding their figures in the desert.
In less than ten minutes, the soldiers of the Dragon Troop had already rushed from the north of the mine to a place not far from Utushi Town. This was the second ambush point that Jiang Cheng had set up. It was a man-made bridge outside Utushi Town. This was the best place for an ambush.
After Jiang Cheng's group of 76 people ran to the predetermined location, they could already see the rolling sand and dust in the distance. At this time, all the Dragon Troop soldiers' stamina was almost depleted. A long-distance raid of nearly 20 kilometers, all the way from the north of the mine in the desert, was a very difficult test for the soldiers' stamina.
He looked back at the people of the Dragon Troop. Everyone was half-squatting, maintaining their stamina and trying to recover as much as possible. Feldman was passing a water bottle to each soldier. After a long-distance raid, they had to replenish the maximum amount of saline. Early in the morning, Jiang Cheng had asked Feldman to prepare these necessary tools.
Jiang Cheng was holding binoculars in his hand and was looking at the plains. The first group of the resistance army was less than three kilometers away from the man-made bridge. The tanks were in the front, and the infantry square formation was behind. This kind of charging formation could speed up as much as possible and protect the infantry at the same time.
At this time, Feldman rushed to Jiang Cheng's side and said, "Director Jiang, drink some water first." Without saying anything, Jiang Cheng picked up the water bottle and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He turned his head and ordered Feldman, "Put down the order and let the team rest for three minutes. It will take about four minutes for the enemy's tanks and infantry square formation to reach the man-made bridge. With the tanks in the front, they will definitely slow down when crossing the bridge. "
Feldman nodded and asked again, "Director Jiang, are we going to ambush on the man-made bridge? But this is a plain area. If we ambush here, there will be nowhere to hide. Isn't it too risky for us to do this? "Feldman was indeed the captain promoted by Jiang Cheng. His thoughts were more meticulous than others.
Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "Who told you that I'm going to ambush them? I'm going to blow up the man-made bridge. Let them cut off the road to Utusi Town! "Jiang Cheng's lips curled into a mischievous smile. This made Feldman widen his eyes in surprise.
"Director Jiang? Are you kidding? You want to blow up the bridge? Won't it be difficult for Utusi Town to transport oil out in the future? "Feldman immediately considered the problem of oil transportation. However, Jiang Cheng made a prompt decision and said, "I can't care so much. If we don't blow up the bridge now, the resistance army will soon capture it. Take advantage of this time and stop the enemy's momentum in one go! "
Desperate times called for desperate measures. As for the future, he would think of a way to deal with it in the future. Right now, Jiang Cheng wanted to stop the entire resistance army's momentum. When Feldman heard this, he immediately made all the arrangements for Jiang Cheng's orders. When he returned to Jiang Cheng's side again, Jiang Cheng was already prepared to take action.
When he saw Jiang Cheng carrying a black backpack, Feldman immediately grabbed Jiang Cheng and said, "Director Jiang! You want to set up the explosives alone? No, I definitely won't allow it. You've already put yourself in danger twice today. Let me take the last risk myself! "
As Feldman spoke, he snatched the backpack without any explanation. Before Jiang Cheng could carry it, Feldman snatched the backpack away. He immediately frowned and said, "What are you doing, kid? Are you afraid that something will go wrong with me for such a small matter? "Feldman glared and scolded," No way. I just can't let you take the risk. This isn't something a commander should do. Phero, come with me! "
After saying that, Feldman called for his younger brother. The two of them rushed out of the hill and ran directly to the artificial bridge. Jiang Cheng grinned as he looked at Feldman's back. He thought to himself, 'This guy is gradually having the air of a commander. With some training in the future, he'll definitely become a great person.'
At this time, the resistance army, which was two kilometers away, was almost at the artificial bridge. In the armored vehicle, Richard was looking at the map seriously. When he saw the artificial bridge, a cold thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but think to himself, 'They won't ambush us here, will they?'
Richard felt an inexplicable sense of fear, and the scene in the mine suddenly appeared in his mind. For some reason, he had a feeling that Jiang Cheng's mysterious team would set up another ambush here. Thinking of this, Richard suddenly stood up and said to the communications soldier beside him.
