The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 478 Return to the North!!!

As of March 5, under the careful planning and command of Liu Zhiye, the Xia army, like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppably captured more than 20 key cities and towns in the territory of the "ungrateful wolf".

They were like sharp blades, easily cutting off the last barrier leading to the inland river of the ungrateful wolf capital - Liangshan.

At this point, the route from Liangshan to Neihe is almost smooth, with no natural barriers blocking the way.

Faced with this sudden crisis, the "ungrateful wolves" were terrified and urgently declared a state of general mobilization across the country.

They had to hastily recall the main force originally used to invade countries J and L in order to fully protect the security of the inland rivers.

However, at this critical moment, Xia Xinshe suddenly issued a statement.

The statement announced that the goal of the self-defense counterattack had been successfully achieved and the Xia army would immediately begin to withdraw in an orderly manner.

This news made Liu Zhiye, who was immersed in the thrill of battle, very dissatisfied.

But he knew that military orders were as heavy as mountains, so he had to suppress his unwillingness and obey his superiors' decision, muttering all the time: "Let me push a little more, a little more..."

This battle caused the "ungrateful" army to suffer unprecedented heavy losses in the brutal war.

However, they still stubbornly retained some elite troops, hoping to use them as a spark for future counterattacks.

When the "ungrateful" army received the information that Xia's army had begun to retreat, the entire enemy camp was excited.

This news was like a shot in the arm, giving the enemy, whose morale was originally low, hope again.

Many enemy generals believed that this was the perfect opportunity for them to counterattack the Xia army and turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop.

Among these generals, Major General Nguyen Dai Hui, the "ungrateful" one, was undoubtedly the most stubborn and active one.

This bastard is no pushover either, and he has made many outstanding achievements in the "ungrateful wolves" unified battlefield.

The troops he commanded achieved brilliant results in many battles with the M Army and the Confederate Army.

Therefore, still unwilling to accept the fact that they had been defeated, Ruan Dahui still fantasized about turning the tables.

He witnessed with his own eyes the "ungrateful" army being defeated under the powerful firepower of the Xia army, and a raging fire of revenge burned in Ruan Dahui's heart.

When Ruan Dahui learned that Xia’s army had officially withdrawn, he was ecstatic.

He believed that although the "ungrateful" army suffered heavy casualties, it was still an elite force with good training and high morale.

If we can seize the opportunity of Xia army's retreat and launch a counterattack, we will not only be able to recover the lost territory, but also inflict a severe blow to Xia army and reverse the situation.

Ruan Dahui immediately summoned his officers to discuss the counterattack plan.

They all agreed that they should take advantage of the time constraints and set up an ambush on the retreat route of the Xia army to stop them and deal a fatal blow to them.

Therefore, the enemy's artillery, armored forces, air force and other units have also made preparations for combat and are on standby at any time.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the Xia army, Ruan Dahui led his elite troops and began to pursue...

When the enemy was preparing to launch an attack, the top leadership of the "ungrateful" group issued an order that instantly wiped out the enthusiasm of pro-war generals such as Nguyen Dai Hui.

In the order, the "ungrateful" high-level officials did demand that the enemy not attack the retreating Xia army and ensure their safe return to Xia territory.

The “ungrateful wolves” top brass were obviously beaten down by Xia Jun in one battle, and they haven’t come to their senses yet, they are scared!!!

Enemy generals such as Nguyen Dai Hui were caught off guard by this order and found it unbelievable.

They didn't understand why Boss Li ordered to stop the attack in the face of this rare opportunity for counterattack.

Ruan De Dahui even asked angrily: "Are we just going to watch the Xia people retreat without giving them any punishment?"

However, Boss Li's orders were unchallengeable, and the enemy could only helplessly watch Xia's army evacuate safely.

Ruan Dahui was full of dissatisfaction. He believed that Boss Li's decision was a mistake and that he missed a good opportunity to change the situation.

In his opinion, if the enemy could seize this opportunity and inflict severe damage on the Xia army, it might change the outcome of the war.

Ruan Dahui could never get over Li Laoda's decision. Later, he wrote in his memoirs:

“Until now, I still can’t figure out why, at that crucial moment, we chose to let the retreating Xia army go.

At that time, we were fully prepared and capable of dealing a heavy blow to the Xia army, seriously damaging their vitality.

However, in the end, we could only watch them evacuate safely. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity that was missed, and I am filled with regret and anger. "

Ruan Dahui's confession expressed the thoughts of many ungrateful generals at the time.

But the wheel of history cannot be reversed, Boss Li has made his decision, and the "ungrateful people" can only accept this reality helplessly.

This short but brutal war finally came to an end when the "ungrateful" Boss Li issued a ceasefire order.

The regret and dissatisfaction in Ruan Dahui's heart are like a brand, deeply engraved in this chapter of history and difficult to erase.

In fact, what Ruan Dahui and his men didn’t understand was that they were the losing side in this war from the very beginning.

Waging guerrilla warfare in dense jungle areas is a tough battle for any army, and winning is by no means easy.

However, when the battle escalated into a large-scale corps operation, the "ungrateful" army appeared to be in a panic.

In this counterattack in 1979, the "ungrateful" army exposed a fatal shortcoming - a serious lack of large-scale corps combat capabilities.

This flaw was immediately apparent, like a crack, when the war broke out.

Although the enemy forces were numerous and large in scale, their combat concepts and tactical application seemed to be still in the previous era, far behind the pace of war development.

For a long time, the "ungrateful" army has been accustomed to relying on the flexibility of guerrilla warfare and jungle warfare to defeat the enemy.

In the confrontation with the M Army and the South Government Army, this tactic indeed enabled them to achieve great success and gain the upper hand.

However, when the Xia army launched a large-scale operation with overwhelming force.

The "ungrateful" army seemed to have suddenly lost its direction, becoming helpless and unable to cope.

The Xia army, led by Liu Zhiye, deployed a large number of armored and mechanized forces in a fierce offensive against the northern part of the "White-Eyed Wolf".

In the iron torrent of Xia’s army, tanks roared, armored vehicles galloped, and cannons roared.

These heavy weapons demonstrated unparalleled power on the battlefield.

They launched a fierce bombardment on the enemy positions like a storm.

On the other hand, the enemy lacked equipment that could compete with the Xia army's heavy weapons.

There were no effective anti-tank means to deal with this overwhelming offensive.

Under the fierce and surging offensive of Xia's army, the enemy's trenches and fortifications were like paper-made ones and were quickly captured one by one.

Although the enemy soldiers also showed great tenacity and fought desperately on their positions...

However, in the face of the suffocatingly powerful firepower of the Xia army, they were ultimately powerless and unable to reverse the defeat.

The enemy commander clearly lacked experience in large-scale combat operations.

Faced with the fierce offensive of the Xia army, the enemy generals were unable to effectively command their troops to launch a powerful counterattack and could only watch their positions being eroded bit by bit.

During the Liangshan Campaign, the enemy's defending troops were besieged by a large group of Xia's troops.

Faced with the Xia army's multi-pronged attack and powerful firepower, the enemy's garrison soon fell into a passive position.

The enemy commanders had no effective way to fight against Xia's large army and could only watch their troops being annihilated one by one.

This major weakness of the enemy army was actually revealed during the Anti-F War.

At that time, the enemy's commander-in-chief and military adviser was Chief Chen from the Xia Kingdom.

He once made sharp criticisms of the combat capabilities of the "ungrateful wolves".

During his tenure as a military adviser, Commander Chen participated in many combat meetings of the "ungrateful" army.

He noticed that the military thinking of the "ungrateful" top brass was rather rigid, focusing only on guerrilla warfare and knowing little about large-scale troop operations.

Commander Chen once pointed out bluntly: "What you are doing now is still guerrilla warfare, not regular warfare. Guerrilla warfare cannot win regular warfare, let alone modern warfare."

Commander Chen criticized the military training of the "ungrateful" troops.

He pointed out that although the "White-Eyed Wolf" has a large number of troops, it is insufficient in systematic military training, especially in training for large-scale troop combat.

Chief Chen once suggested that the "ungrateful wolves" should strengthen training in this area, but this suggestion failed to attract the attention of the "ungrateful wolves" top management.

However, it is fortunate that the "ungrateful" senior executives were short-sighted, otherwise this battle would have been hard to predict...

Of course, the enemy generals were not only unable to command large-scale troops, but also lacked the ability to manage military scale and strategic imagination.

For a long time, the enemy's development has almost entirely relied on the military assistance of Boss S.

However, the assistance provided by Boss S is mostly limited to ordinary light weapons.

Such as AK47 assault rifles, RPG rocket launchers and other weapons, but they are quite stingy in supporting heavy weapons.

Such weapons and equipment configuration undoubtedly greatly restricts the enemy's combat capabilities on the modern battlefield.

The enemy generals had long been accustomed to relying on light weapons for guerrilla warfare, and lacked sufficient knowledge and deep understanding of the complexity and diversity of modern three-dimensional warfare. Because of this, they were completely defeated in the fierce direct confrontation with the Xia army.

When the Xia army launched a fierce attack with a three-dimensional air-to-ground offensive, the enemy seemed at a loss and was completely unable to respond effectively, and could only allow defeat to approach step by step.

…………

The Xia army retreated from the territory of the "ungrateful wolves" and did three things on the eve of the retreat that left the "ungrateful wolves" in tears.

The Xia army's actions in this war were just and reasonable, and therefore won the support of the general public.

Under the command of Liu Zhiye, the Xia army swept across the northern region of the "White-Eyed Wolf".

They penetrated more than 40 kilometers into the territory of the "White-Eyed Wolf", destroyed the military forces in the northern region of the "White-Eyed Wolf", and headed straight for the inland river of the "White-Eyed Wolf".

War is necessary to achieve strategic goals. The strategic goal of Xia’s army is not to occupy the “ungrateful wolves”, but to defend themselves and counterattack.

The Xia Kingdom was not interested in occupying the inland rivers.

Although, Liu Zhiye really wanted to lead his troops to capture the enemy's capital.

He came from the future and knew that the "ungrateful bastard" was still harboring evil intentions.

Liu Zhiye was unwilling to let the "ungrateful man" go so easily, but military orders were as heavy as a mountain and could not be disobeyed.

Therefore, Liu Zhiye wanted to severely punish the "ungrateful person" to prevent him from counterattacking again.

In addition, in order to achieve the strategic goal of the Xia army, on the eve of the retreat, the Xia army was ordered to do three things in the territory of the "ungrateful wolf".

One is to take back the aid materials that have been provided.

In terms of military, the Xia Kingdom once provided the "ungrateful wolves" with 213.8 million guns, more than 7 artillery pieces, 12.4 billion bullets, and 1807 million artillery shells.

In terms of daily life, Xia State also provided a large amount of oil, rice, flour, bicycles, medicine, etc.

In terms of economy, Xia State provided more than one billion in interest-free loans, as well as a large amount of free economic aid.

During the retreat, Xia's army took back all the aid supplies.

Later, due to the lack of the most urgently needed rice, flour, and medicine...

This has led to great dissatisfaction among the lower classes of the "ungrateful people" with their government, and has seriously affected public security within the "ungrateful people"'s territory.

Moreover, a large amount of military supplies and strategic materials were taken away, which caused the enemy to have to spend a large amount of military expenditure and seriously slowed down the national economic construction.

The second is to eliminate the industrial foundation of "ungrateful people".

On the eve of the M country's army approaching and about to occupy the ungrateful wolves, the Xia army showed a firm stance.

They strictly ordered the M Army not to cross the 17th parallel north. This iron rule prevented the M Army from ever setting foot on that land.

Thanks to the relative tranquility in the northern part of the "white-eyed wolf", many of the country's industrial facilities and infrastructure projects have taken root here.

The north has almost become the core area of ​​"ungrateful" industry and construction.

Liu Zhiye thoroughly...

The third is to set up minefields: In order to prevent the "white-eyed wolf" army from pursuing the Xia army, the Xia army set up a large number of minefields in the northern region and border areas of the "white-eyed wolf".

后来《环球时报》的记者报道在70-90年代，两国边境至少埋下了130多万地雷，48万各类爆炸物，161个雷场、面积289平方公里。

Such a densely packed minefield, with thousands of mines basically every kilometer, has brought great inconvenience to the resumption of production. Decades later, the mines in the northern region of the "white-eyed wolf" have not been cleared.

This month's blitzkrieg has completely put an end to the unrealistic fantasies of the "ungrateful people".

After striking down the "ungrateful bastard", the Xia Kingdom took the initiative to extend an olive branch with sincerity.

The "ungrateful wolf" said angrily: "You just beat us up... and now you want to negotiate peace after the fight...? Who do you think we are?"

These foolish "ungrateful people" don't even think about who helped them build their various facilities and infrastructure.

Although the "ungrateful wolves" no longer dare to take large-scale actions, they still continue to cross the border on a small scale.

The specific approach of the "ungrateful wolves" is to take advantage of the time when the main force of the Xia Kingdom is returning.

Take the opportunity to seize some high hills on the border.

They also repaired the fortifications here, dug pits and holes, and set up camp, preparing to live here for a long time and continue to fight against the Xia army.

It's just like the bully outside your house who doesn't dare to rush in, so he blocks the door and throws stones and smashes your windows. It's disgusting.

Liu Zhiye felt that this devil's grandson's behavior was too disgusting!!!
"Okay! Since you want to be a nail house owner, I will do the demolition."

Once, the enemy secretly occupied Luojiaping Mountain.

It took the enemy more than ten days to finally establish a small-scale combat system on the mountain.

It was filled with open and hidden bunkers, circular fortifications and cross-fire networks, and used this as a base to begin harassing the Xia army's border outposts.

From then on, Xia Jun started to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Xia's army first covered the area with artillery fire, and then recaptured Luojiaping in just three and a half hours.

Afterwards, the enemy army built fortifications in different places, and the Xia army "pulled out nails" in different places.

Repair quickly and dismantle even faster.

It took them about ten days to repair it, but the Xia army only took two or three hours to dismantle it...

In fact, this kind of small-scale battle is most suitable for special forces operations.

During an operation behind enemy lines.

...The closer Ge Xiaohu and his team got to the enemy's hinterland, the more difficulties they encountered.

For example, if you want to occupy the enemy's high ground, you must find a way to pass through the hard barbed wire.

Because Ge Xiaohu and his team were not well prepared when they set out and had no tools at hand.

Ge Xiaohu and his colleagues could only use their hands to dig a hole in the wire mesh that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

People are afraid of cold and heat. This is an instinctive physiological reaction.

But the soldiers of Xia State were not afraid of steel bars and real fire. Relying on their beliefs, they restrained their physiological reactions and created one miracle after another.

The hole is big enough for one person to pass through. Who will be the first to pass through?
The person who took the responsibility was Ge Xiaohu, as he was unwilling to put his comrades in danger.

Because the first person to go out is most likely to be discovered by the enemy, Ge Xiaohu will have to bear the worst consequences.

Ge Xiaohu ignored the fact that his hands were covered with wounds from the barbed wire and he completely disregarded the pain and climbed over the barbed wire alone.

Then, find a small advantageous position to cover the passage of comrades.

Ge Xiaohu and his men launched another surprise attack, catching the enemy off guard.

War is cruel, it is not a life-and-death struggle.

So both sides tried their best. The enemy guessed that the tall Ge Xiaohu was the leader of the team, so they began to attack Ge Xiaohu consciously.

An enemy pointed his gun at Ge Xiaohu...

In desperation, Ge Xiaohu immediately fired back at the other party.

Such is the cruelty and unexpectedness of the battlefield.

No one knows what will happen until the last moment.

Fortunately, Ge Xiaohu is the lucky man, but at the same time he is unfortunate because his arm was scratched by a stray bullet.

…………

This is the real battlefield!

In the counterattack against the "ungrateful wolves", the Xia Army's scouts faced not only the enemy's tight defense, but also the complex and changeable natural terrain and unpredictable situations when carrying out reconnaissance missions deep behind enemy lines.

The terrain in the "White-Eyed Wolf" area is mainly mountainous and dense forests.

This requires special forces to not only deal with the various difficulties in covert operations when performing their missions, but also to be vigilant at all times against possible enemy patrols or ambushes.

During a reconnaissance operation deep behind enemy lines, Ge Xiaohu's team crossed the border at nightfall and entered a dense forest in the territory of the "White-Eyed Wolf".

These special forces shuttled through the dense forest, using the terrain and the cover of night to conceal their tracks.

While moving, they maintained constant radio communication with the command center, transmitting at low power to reduce the risk of being captured by enemy electronic reconnaissance equipment.

A big challenge of such a mission is how to deal with the ungrateful villagers who are encountered by chance during the mission.

In such densely forested areas, these "white-eyed wolves" might have accidentally encountered Xia army scouts while gathering, hunting, or other daily activities.

When Ge Xiaohu and his team were crossing a small river, they happened to encounter a group of "ungrateful" villagers who came to fetch water.

Faced with this sudden situation, Xia Jun's special forces quickly hid and observed the movements of the white-eyed werewolf.
