Chapter 777 I Really Don’t Like Passiveness
Obviously, the commander of the People's Army did not expect the enemy's firepower to be so fierce. For a moment he was confused and didn't know how to respond.
"Commander, what should we do now?"
"Or ask Colonel Akfu from the E Country Advisory Group!"
As soon as you mention the devil, Colonel Akif angrily broke into the People's Army headquarters.
"What exactly is going on? Why didn't you seek the consent of the E Country Advisory Group before issuing the attack order? Look, it is because of your stupid actions that the entire campaign will fail!"
The commander of the People's Army was furious at Akif's accusations and insults, but he could do nothing about it.
Although this group of people are in the name of an advisory group, they actually do the work of commanders and make decisions on the deployment of the People's Army.
"Colonel Akfu, the order to attack was given by the Chairman himself, and we can only accept it. Please forgive us!"
Colonel Akfu's face was flushed red, and the mustache under his nose was twisted like two caterpillars, which looked hideous and funny.
"Stupid Choibalsan, he should just be a good logistics chief! Now I am taking over the command of the Saida Campaign under the order of the Red Flag Army of the Far Eastern Front. If you have any questions, you can call Choibalsan immediately!"
Colonel Akfu looked around and saw that no one dared to act rashly, so he stood in front of the sand table and issued the first order.
"Order the First Cavalry Division, the Second Cavalry Division, the tank convoy, and the artillery corps to immediately stop the attack, strengthen alert, and wait for my next order!"
"Colonel Akov, Artillery..."
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you hemming and hawing?"
"Yes, the artillery team has been wiped out!"
Akif threw his hat on the sand table in anger. In less than two hours, the artillery team was wiped out?
"What's going on? Does the enemy have more advanced artillery? How could they annihilate the entire artillery team within two hours? This is the latest artillery donated by Country E. Please give me a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that Country E will suspend military aid to you in the future!"
"Colonel Akfu, it's not that our People's Army is afraid of death, but they are indeed equipped with advanced artillery. From the time the first shell landed on our artillery position to the time the artillery fire covered it, it took less than fifteen seconds?
This is simply not something that normal artillery can do, maybe this is their secret weapon!"
Colonel Akfu sneered twice. He was very familiar with the weapons and equipment of the Liberation Brigade. They were just some Type 38 rifles obtained from the Japanese devils and some infantry guns and mortars. There were no secret weapons at all.
“Is this the combat style and experience summary of the People’s Army?”
"It's true. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask!"
"Okay, go explain the reason to Choibalsan. Now the First Cavalry Division, the Second Cavalry Division and the tank convoy will follow my command. Order all units to report their losses!"
Akif was very disdainful of this mindless charge, especially a charge in an open area, which was tantamount to a suicide, either fast or slow.
While the various troops were counting casualties, Akif began to think about the strategic deployment of the Sayda defenders.
According to what he knew, the northern part of Sayda was the focus of their defense. The first line of defense had a large number of people, but the individual firepower was average; the second line of defense had a small number of people, but the firepower was very strong.
Based on this analysis, the second line of defense is more like an elite force and may very well be the last line of defense.
Although it is unlikely that Sayda's artillery has secret weapons, judging from the fact that they were able to completely annihilate the People's Army, they are definitely at an advantage in terms of numbers.
Therefore, if we continue to launch a frontal attack now, the result we will face may be the same as today, being torn to pieces by ruthless artillery fire.
While Akif was thinking, the casualties of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division were reported.
The First Division lost 3000 men, leaving more than 6000.
The Second Division lost 2000 men, leaving more than 7000.
Akif gasped. In just two hours, he lost five thousand men, plus all the artillery?
His face turned pale, and he asked unwillingly:
"How many enemies are estimated to have been annihilated?"
"We have inflicted huge casualties on the enemy and dealt a heavy blow to their arrogance!"
"I'm asking how many enemies were annihilated! Numbers!"
"It is estimated...it is estimated that there will be more than 2000 people."
"Are you sure?"
"Well, maybe more than 2000 casualties, and about 1000 people were killed!"
Akfu knew that these people were numerical geniuses. They did not put in much effort on the battlefield, but they showed endless creativity in these numbers.
He has no time to pursue responsibility now. The most important thing at the moment is to study the next strategic layout.
According to previous intelligence, the total number of the Liberation Brigade was about 10,000 (they included the unknown number of volunteers). After today's battle, the difference in numbers between the two sides was further narrowed, and coupled with the artillery advantage of the Saida side, a frontal attack no longer seemed so wise.
Therefore, Akif decided to launch a surprise attack from three other directions, taking advantage of the night and close combat.
As long as we can break into the position and mix with them, the artillery will be useless. In this way, we can use the advantage of numbers to teach them a lesson.
Therefore, Akif decided to launch a surprise attack immediately tonight, deploying troops to the eastern part of Sayda to make a breakthrough.
"Are there any war horses that have escaped? Find them for me. The more the better!"
Although no one knew what Akif was going to do, no one dared to disobey his orders.
While Akfu was making intensive preparations, Wang Meng was also busy.
After several rounds of salvos, the 107 rocket launcher only had three rounds of shells left, and the shells of the infantry gun and mountain gun were also consumed by nearly one-third. However, the casualties caused to the enemy were also huge, so this deal was worth it.
"Brigade Commander Yuanshan, the People's Army has withdrawn its troops and there seems to be no sign of launching another attack. What do you think?"
Yuanshan seemed to be thinking about something. According to his understanding, the People's Army just went back to rest. If they used cavalry to charge again, they would probably choose to attack from the north, but the specific time was unknown.
If they still attack from the north, they will certainly encounter the same artillery fire. Unless these People's Army soldiers are very stubborn, they will not take such a risk, right?
"Chief of Staff, I am also confused now. What kind of attack method will they take next and where will they attack from?"
"Hehe, do you want to know?"
"Of course!"
Yuanshan couldn't wait to take out his little notebook and prepare to write down Wang Meng's valuable advice.
"Well, actually I don't know. But I still have to tell you one thing, I really don't like being passive!"
