Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

Chapter 120: Reinforce the Jie Tribe Grassland and Fight at Baishui River

"But now, perhaps soon, we will become hostile to the Soviet Union." Korulev said somewhat disappointedly.

"Lao Ke, this is only temporary! This does not affect the friendship between our two countries or the friendship between our two peoples!" Xu Yan said with a smile.

The next morning, when Xu Yan arrived at the Border Defense Army General Staff Headquarters, Wang Zhuguo, Cheng Jun and others had been waiting for a long time.

"Sit down! The sky isn't going to fall, so there's no need to look so sad!" Xu Yan walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

"let's start."

Cheng Jun walked to a huge map, which was a huge map of the Jie grassland. The situation of both sides was densely marked on it.

"Currently, the Third Armored Regiment has occupied Baocheng, the seat of the Jie Khan, last night."

"But it was still too late. The Khan had been captured by the rebels, and they occupied an empty city."

Cheng Jun took a breath and continued, "Liu Fengquan's three armies have cast a large net on the Jie grassland, with Bao as the center, and are heading out to search for the main force of the rebels, striving to wipe out the rebels completely!"

Xu Yan was very dissatisfied. Liu Fengquan was always procrastinating. Even with such a big advantage, he turned the war into a war of attrition!

"What are the movements of the Soviet army?"

"The Soviet army has currently accumulated five divisions of troops in the border area, waiting for the Jie tribe to stage a coup and the second prince to take power. Once they are invited to send troops, they will march straight south! And there are a large number of Soviet soldiers among the rebels."

"Liu Fengquan's Third Army is in a bad situation! The logistics supply lines are frequently attacked. The enemy has a large number of guerrilla forces along the supply lines. They are all cavalry who fight and run away. It is difficult to effectively annihilate them! Especially the armored forces' oil supply is almost exhausted! They can only hold out for three days, which is not enough to organize a regular charge!"

Xu Yan couldn't help but curse in his heart!

Why did they send Liu Fengquan in the first place? This guy really didn't take any risks, but he put the entire army in danger!

"What do you think?" Xu Yan asked after looking around.

"There is one thing General Cheng didn't mention, and that is Beimozhou! It's right in front of our rear supply line! It will be a disaster sooner or later!" Wang Zhuguo said with some concern.

"Commander Wang is right! There is a division and a cavalry brigade of the Su Kingdom stationed in Beimozhou. Their strength cannot be ignored!" Cheng Jun repeated.

"Also, according to the news sent back by Corps Commander Fang, Japan has begun to attack the Baishui River defense line again!

Japan is now in a very delicate moment. The two sides have neither negotiated peace nor declared war. They have been fighting silently on the Xianli border! Neither side has excessively promoted it. Many ordinary people have almost forgotten that they are still fighting against the Japanese!

Xu Yan was a bit overwhelmed. He threw two of his legions in, but they seemed so overwhelmed.

"Does anyone have anything to add? Any ideas? Don't just make things difficult for me!" Xu Yan said with a wry smile.

"If not, let's transfer the second-line troops up." Wang Zhuguo said tentatively.

"Where are you going? Chasing horses on the grassland, or going to Baishui River to die?" Xu Yan rolled his eyes at Wang Zhuguo.

"After all, our supplies are too fragile! Especially those tanks! Ammunition! Fuel! Accessories! We can't afford to lose even a little bit!" said Hong Yibai, Minister of Logistics and Quartermaster, with a worried look on his face.

"This is necessary. Our logistical forces need to be strengthened! In the future, we will have more armored equipment of all kinds! Don't complain to me here. Think more about solutions!" Xu Yan said seriously.

"Headmaster, should we consider withdrawing a division from Heilongjiang Province to support the Third Army? Commander Liu is good at offensive warfare, but this kind of field mobile warfare is not what the Third Army is good at. The First Army is now stationed in Heilongjiang Province. I wonder if we should send a nearby army that is good at mobile warfare to support them?"

"The troops in Heilongjiang Province cannot be moved. Heilongjiang Province and the Soviet Union have such a long border, and all our strategic reserves are in Heilongjiang Province. We must be extremely careful! The First Army is our general reserve force and cannot be mobilized so casually!"

Xu Yan rejected it again.

"Head of State, the 211th Division of the Second Corps is currently resting in the rear. Can you consider sending it over there and also dispatching the Fifth Corps to support Fang Tianlong's troops? This way, we can form a rotation battle and increase the combat capability of the troops." Song Yunzhong, commander of the Fifth Corps, stood up and said sternly.

Since the reorganization of the Dongning Army, the three corps formed by the Dongning Army and part of the second-line city defense regiment have been training! Song Yunzhong knew that this was because Xu Yan did not trust them, but there was really no hope for them to keep training in the back like this.

How could he know that Xu Yan originally wanted to disorganize several legions and reorganize them, but unfortunately the situation did not allow it, and his several main legions could not be withdrawn, and he did not dare to feel sorry!

Xu Yan thought about it for a long time and decided to transfer Song Yunzhong over to be under the control of Fang Tianlong. He wondered if Fang Tianlong could control that brat?

Wang Zhuguo saw Xu Yan's thoughts and stood up and said, "Headmaster, I think this method is feasible. The 211th Division has been repaired for almost a month and has recovered well. The Baishui River front is currently a positional battle. The garrison troops don't seem to be too serious about the attack. Now it's basically a battalion-level battle, at most a battle to capture a hilltop. We can completely pull the newly formed Fifth Corps up to train them, or pull them up one division at a time to fight in rotation! The entire Baishui River front is under the full responsibility of Corps Commander Fang!"

"Rotational warfare? That's a good word! I agree! Let's do it! Send a telegram to Fang Tianlong in the name of the General Staff!" Xu Yan said with a smile.

Why didn't he think of that? At present, the front line of Baishui River is very stable, so he can pull all the troops up there to practice one by one! See some blood!

Xu Yan was very satisfied with Wang Zhuguo's performance today. This Liu Fengquan was really worrying. He was too damn stable! It would be better to send him out less often to attack cities in the future!
