Chapter 875 Assembling a Thousand-Man Army, Forcing Warhammer to Retreat Two Steps
The first army of the Warhammer Mercenary Group began reinforcing the port, and a large number of mechanized units holding the defense zone within a hundred kilometers were all activated.
Countless arrows flew towards the Tahr River. The air here had become scorching, filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder!!
...
Late at night, around 10:30 PM!
On a dilapidated highway near the Tahr River, about a battalion of the Warhammer First Army was rushing to the reinforcement point.
The mountain road was dark, and the cool wind howled.
The military commander of this unit was sitting in the vehicle, communicating with friendly forces via walkie-talkie.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the tall military off-road vehicle stopped in place.
The officer looked up at the driver: "Hey, what's wrong?!"
"There are troops stopped ahead!" the driver replied.
The officer glanced forward and saw a dozen military vehicles connected together, having stopped moving forward. A group of soldiers in Warhammer mercenary uniforms had gotten out.
"Jess, go down and take a look!" the officer ordered.
About ten seconds later, a sergeant led some men to the front, keeping their distance, and asked, "Hey, which unit are you brothers from?!"
The dozens of people in front suddenly turned around and raised their guns.
"Da da da...!"
Gunfire rang out without warning, and the sergeant and his men who had come to inquire were instantly riddled with bullets!
"Damn it!! It's the Blackwater infiltration force, engage, engage!" the military commander in the vehicle shouted urgently, pushing open the car door and rushing out!
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh...!"
On the hillside, more than twenty "Javelin" anti-tank missiles instantly rained down!
The Warhammer military commander had just jumped out of the vehicle when his ears were deafened by the violent explosions. He staggered and fell into the roadside trench, his brain dizzy. All he could see around him were screams and flames of explosions!!
"Kill!"
Blackwater Legion soldiers outflanked from both sides, all charging forward as if their lives depended on it!
They only had sixty or seventy people, and almost all of the dozen or so military vehicles were empty, with no one inside. This was just to disguise themselves as a Warhammer marching unit, which was why they mobilized these vehicles!
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. The Warhammer military commander hadn't even climbed out of the ditch when he was buried by the first wave of fierce fire. The deputy officer reported to the upper echelons with a sobbing voice: "We are under attack, attack, requesting reinforcements...!"
...
At the same time.
These small-scale interception battles bloomed almost along the entire Tahr River area. There was fighting everywhere, and gunfire everywhere!
Inside the Warhammer's forward command post.
Rumeni's staff were constantly making and receiving phone calls. At the same time, technical officers were also highlighting the interception points in various areas on the real-time battlefield feedback images.
Rumeni looked at the Tahr River area with surprise, seeing that all the roads, the mechanized advance lines, were lit up with red dots, and the intensity and level of combat were all the lowest!
In other words, each Blackwater interception unit was a small unit with few people, at most a platoon, and the total number of people added together was less than a thousand, but they had completely disrupted the marching line of more than five thousand people!
Rumeni frowned as he looked at the real-time feedback images, and finally realized: "They... they don't want to occupy the Tahr River, they want to snatch military operational space from us!!"
...
Inside Bernardo's concession.
A front-line liaison officer walked to Tagu's side, saluted and shouted, "Legion Commander, the latest battle damage feedback information has been obtained!"
"How many of our people have sacrificed?" Tagu asked, holding a cup of coffee.
"The Assault Battalion has six hundred people, and currently half of them have been reduced due to combat!! And... they can no longer retreat! Their support troops have established an air defense zone on the coastline, and our helicopter fleet cannot approach, cannot respond!" the officer replied.
Tagu slowly stood up: "They are all warriors and should be remembered in the annals of history!! Pay tribute to them!"
After speaking, Tagu took off his hat, mourned for three seconds, and decisively issued an order: "All main forces on the border line advance forward!! I want to show the Orientals how the Blackwater Legion can take back two echelon attack areas in six hours!!"
...
Around 11 PM!
The Warhammer Mercenary Group suddenly abandoned the red-coded Tahr River, and the First Army began a full-scale retreat, heading towards Sinnar.
At the same time, the Warhammer First Army, which was originally preparing to build a defense line towards Sinnar, also stopped moving. They camped in place, preparing to reunite with the First Army!
On the other side, the Blackwater Legion pressed forward across the board. The eight thousand main force troops, originally entrenched near Bana City, divided into three groups and expanded their defense zone by nearly thirty kilometers, occupying the main roads!
Why did Warhammer withdraw its troops??!!
Because Rumeni was really panicking!! He had been completely defeated by Tagu in terms of tactics!!
Tagu used the method of mobilizing ten thousand troops into the city to paralyze the Warhammer Group and Zhou Xian, making them believe that he had reached an agreement with the Chi Army, so he abandoned the outer defense zone of Bana City, contracted inward, and prepared to enter the town to suppress the riots!
But in fact, Tagu had not reached an agreement with Su Tianyu at all. His mobilization of ten thousand people into the city was just a smokescreen. The real purpose was to attack the Tahr River at night!
Rumeni could not have foreseen this. He listened to Zhou Xian's order and mobilized the Second Army to support Sinnar, but he did not expect that as soon as the troops left, the Blackwater Legion would attack the Tahr River at night, and use this as a base to lure the Warhammer First Army to reinforce it!
After more than five thousand men of the First Army were mobilized, the Blackwater Legion used small-scale troops to harass and intercept, causing the entire supply line highway to become chaotic!
At this time, the eight thousand Blackwater main force, which had been entrenched outside Bana City and had not moved, suddenly pressed forward!
With such a pressure, the result of Rumeni not retreating was that five thousand people were mixed up on the supply line, unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and unable to recognize which unit was disguised as the Blackwater Legion. Eventually, they would be dragged here, and when the Blackwater main force arrived, these people would definitely be annihilated!
There was no way, they could only withdraw, not giving the Blackwater Legion a chance to pounce, and choose to regroup the large troops to gain a foothold!
In this battle, Tagu used a thousand six hundred infiltration troops to disrupt the enemy's supply area for an entire army!! He also succinctly contained the Second Army, which was originally preparing to enter Sinnar!
This combat style was somewhat reminiscent of Zhang Babai defeating Sun Shiwan! Taking advantage of the enemy's expeditionary operation and their unstable footing, he reversed the local war situation through a night attack!
Around 12 PM.
Su Tianyu got up and said to Chief of Staff Wu with a speechless expression: "You are professional! I admit it, I will let Brother Hu allocate 20 million to you later!!"
"Thank you, Chief Su!" Chief of Staff Wu asked with a smile: "What do you think of Blackwater?!"
Su Tianyu held back for a long time and said only two words: "Awesome!"
"Let me tell you, we in the Third Division can't beat them if we really fight!" Chief of Staff Wu stood up and said very objectively: "When I was taking advanced studies at the Army Academy, I happened to catch up with the Blackwater Legion's special operations team coming here to put on an exhibition match! I watched their temporary tactical deployments, and these people are very professional in fighting small-scale wars!! They also have enough experience, because that is what they built their country on!"
Xin Xiaodong was also convinced: "Indeed, awesome!"
"Damn it, I lost, let's not talk about it!" Su Tianyu waved his hand: "I just received a call, I'll go out for a while!"
"Hehe, good!"
...
Around 1 AM.
Su Tianyu secretly left the city of Sri Lanka with only Hou Guoyu and other guards, and met a middle-aged man next to a large wasteland!
"What do you mean?!" Su Tianyu asked, smoking a cigarette.
"We will cooperate on the issue of Bana City!" the middle-aged man replied.
Su Tianyu frowned: "I don't need money for the time being, I need people!"
"No problem!"
"Then talk about the plan, how do you plan to cooperate!?" Su Tianyu asked.
