District 9

The latest military strategic plan of European District 1 is the same as what Meng Xi guessed in his own plan. They also put the focus of the war on the side of District 4, to be precise, Yemen.

In order to fully prevent Gu Yan's Corps from supporting the Fourth District, Ou Yi District made a decision to mobilize the Feng Ji Corps currently entrenched in the Fourth District, the Zhou Corps of Xia Island, and the Ou Yi District Fleet in Xia Island, as well as the Ou Yi District The army forces of the region forcibly landed in Yemen from the sea, where they launched the final decisive battle on the southern battlefield with the three major regions.

This military strategic adjustment fully illustrates two issues.

First, the confidence of the European First District in the Free Alliance has dropped sharply. They feel that they can no longer defeat the three major districts on the battlefield of the Sixth District, so they must completely shift their strategic focus southward. As long as Gu Yan's regiment is defeated and the reinforcements from the three major districts are defeated, the strategic goal of complete victory in the fourth district can be achieved. Free Chan only needs to defend the six districts, avoid a major defeat, and maintain a relative balance of power. This is equivalent to the failure of the expedition in the three districts and has not achieved any goal.

Second, this move by Europe 1 also shows that the current Republican ruling party is facing great internal pressure. They no longer regard complete victory as their final goal, but only want to end the war quickly.

The collision of military forces between several regions cannot last for several years, or even more than ten years, because no one can afford it, so they only need to prevent the regime of the three regions from entering the fourth region. At the same time, if the Free Army is not too severely consumed in the Sixth District, it will still have the ability to threaten the military borders of the three major districts. In this way, the situation will still return to the stage where EU forces effectively curb the rise of China. Moreover, the three major regions have also lost the official and military allies of the fourth region, which is equivalent to zero military influence overseas.

To put it more simply, the Republican Party in Europe 1 is in urgent need of a complete victory to eliminate internal conflicts and pressure, so for them, the minimum requirement for the Yemen War is to eliminate the Gu Yan Corps.

After Westbrook landed in Xia Dao, a new round of appointments in the EU Region 1 were also issued one after another.

The commander-in-chief of the southern theater is Westbrook.

The top commander of the First Corps is EU Region 1 Lieutenant General Ian Salsk, who is responsible for commanding the Xia Island 40,000 Euro Region 1 Army and Air Force operations.

The supreme commander of the Second Corps is Zhou Xingli (nominal), and the chief of general staff is Li Bokang (actual commander). The corps will have 80,000 troops participating in the war.

The top commander of the Third Corps is Feng Ji, and his deputy is appointed by himself. He will integrate the 30,000 Feng troops in the fourth district and land in Yemen from the side to participate in the battle.

At the same time, almost all of Xia Dao's navy was dispatched. They have two integrated fleets and nearly 40,000 naval forces, providing long-range firepower output for the three frontline corps, and occupying Yemen's important military ports.

In the fourth area, the He troops will enter the Draken Mountains when the final battle is launched and completely wipe out the remaining defeated troops of Tengba. Their combat pressure was not great, and Feng Ji helped He Chong fight for this good job, because he knew in his heart that once he and Zhou Xingli broke up, He Chong would be the one he had to win over. Regardless of whether he is annoyed with this person in his heart or not, he must do enough superficial work.

For two consecutive days, Westbrook held a combat meeting on Summer Island and formulated an offensive plan in detail.

…

Direction of Yemen.

Dozens of large transport ships arrived in Yemen in the early hours of last night, and countless soldiers from the northwest theater of the three major regions began to land in batches.

In order to avoid friction or unnecessary conflicts between local forces and soldiers from the three major regions, Nilai, the leader of the Independent Democratic Party, has immediately discussed with other local military and political forces to begin a large-scale withdrawal of troops and give way to the inner and outer harbors. location, and transfer the main military base to the Gu Yan Corps for management.

To put it simply, the local army was afraid of losing their blood in a big battle, so they chose to retreat hundreds of miles indefinitely and directly gave up their homes to foreign troops for garrison, and the three major districts would also pay them a high price. rent.

Last night, Gu Yan's First Army was the first to land. There were about 30,000 people in total. The tanks and armored vehicles brought by transport ships were also unloaded one after another and rushed into the interior of Yemen.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, in the temporary headquarters about 200 kilometers away from the inner port of Yemen, Gu Yan was wearing a white shirt, looking at the battle map, frowning and saying: "There is news from the military intelligence department that the enemy is preparing to attack Yemen It’s the decisive battle. Zhang Guang, please send the information to everyone, we must study the combat deployment immediately, we don’t have much time left.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the adjutant directly distributed the information collected by the military intelligence department, and the generals gathered around the conference table to discuss it carefully.

After a while, Fatty Teng was the first to speak: "We only have more than 80,000 people in total. The opponent's force, including land, sea and air, is more than twice ours. And for us, there is no advantage in the main city if we spread out our defense. .The only thing worth celebrating is that Africa has many mountains and there are dangers to defend, but in the face of the absolute advantage of modern military, this kind of thankfulness... is not necessary."

Gu Yan crossed his arms and frowned: "The higher-ups have decided to implement Meng Xi's plan. We are human shields, not killing moves. As long as we are not defeated in a short period of time and wait for reinforcements to land, then the mission will be completed."

Fatty Teng thought again and again: "What I mean is to abandon the outer port, garrison the military base with heavy troops, take advantage of the geographical advantage, arrange the troops, and try to move the main battlefield as close to the inland as possible. This can avoid the fire coverage of some enemy naval fleets."

"I agree with Lao Teng's point of view. Although our navy also needs ports to land, it is obviously irrational to collide with the enemy's two fleets head-on." Huo Zhenghua, commander of the First Army, raised his head and said: "Take in the defense line , Commander Fu Zhenguo’s navy can land from the side. There is no port infrastructure there, we can build temporary ones! Although it is difficult, but... we can only seek stability at the moment. "

Everyone expressed their opinions and began to make final preparations for the war.

…

Five hours later, General He Dachuan led the 122nd Army in the Sichuan War Zone to land in Yemen. This army is an expansion of the original 122nd Brigade, and it is also the heroic brigade led by Ou Xiaobin before. It carries many honors of the Sichuan Army.

After He Dachuan got off the boat, he yelled: "That bastard Meng Xi, I will let him die sooner or later! It was originally agreed that I was transferred to the front line to participate in the expedition this time, and I was going to meet him in the fourth district. How could I have imagined it?" ...The Tengba Army stretched their hips like this, and they were crushed to pieces in less than a month. Now it's better, I was transferred to Yemen for no reason."

"What, what do you mean? You don't want to fight alongside Commander Gu?" Ai Hao asked with a sidelong glance.

"... If Chief Meng can't please me, then we can only please Chief Gu." He Dachuan said very truthfully: "Go to the headquarters immediately, I want to lick Chief Gu's face."

…

In the evening, He Dachuan arrived at the headquarters.

Gu Yan waved his hands happily and shouted: "The future is coming, Yemen is safe."

"...Sir Gu! I have long wanted to fight side by side with you. Today, I am lucky enough to have my dream come true. It is actually the smoke rising from the ancestral graves." He Dachuan's cultural heritage can support him to speak at this level.

"Haha!" Gu Yan laughed: "You generals from Sichuan Mansion are really adaptable."

"That's too strong!" He Dachuan hesitated a little, and suddenly he had nothing to say: "I'm sorry... Commander Gu, I... I said something stupid."

"I just like your energy." Gu Yan didn't care at all. He pulled He Dachuan and pointed at the map and said, "The Hongdan Military Airport will be handed over to your army. How about it?"

"If I don't die, I won't be lost at the airport!" He Dachuan replied after saluting.
