Shi Yuanye would never have guessed that the Wolf Flag soldiers who blew themselves up were Han Chinese like him. He was deep in thought as he stared at the map. Wu Yun Gale Riley's cunning had caused him to suffer a great loss. The alliance was done for. Even if he hadn't schemed against them beforehand, the result would still be the same. The Blood Wolf Flag's back was not easy to attack. Wu Yun Gale Riley's tricks had not only caused him to lose the artillery battery, but also five Type-96 tanks and a large number of armored vehicles.
However, this did not discourage Shi Yuanye. He still had enough troops and armored vehicles. Only one of the tanks had been destroyed, and the other four had been knocked out by the explosion. As long as they could recover, his tank platoon could be revived.
Right now, they could only turn the offensive battle into a defensive one. The infantry and armored vehicles that had charged into the Red Wolf Flag had all turned to defense. Together with the anti-tank cannons and anti-aircraft cannons they had seized, they formed a three-dimensional defensive structure. Everything could only wait until nightfall, when the crucial battle of life and death would begin.
The Blood Wolf Flag did not continue to attack their positions. Instead, they sent out a large number of people to encircle the scattered infantry. They captured the captives and dragged them back with ropes. Under the direction of the rifles, they began to dig the second line of defense that belonged to the Wolf Flag. When the pursuit was over, more than 1,500 people had been killed, more than 2,700 had been captured, and the remaining 3,000 had scattered.
The Blood Wolf Flag had gained a great advantage in this battle. They had only suffered 800 casualties. They had destroyed 15 armored vehicles, one tank, and some assault vehicles. They had also seized a large number of guns and ammunition, as well as the logistics vehicles of the alliance. There was enough food and ammunition for them to fight another battle.
"Who do you think will win?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the alternating red and blue lines on the map. He couldn't make up his mind. Previously, he had thought that everything was too perfect. He had thought that he could hide and be the fisherman. He didn't expect that both the Blood Wolf Flag and the Silver Stream Army were vicious wolves that ate people without spitting out the bones.
After hearing the news from the frontline, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat. The two hostile forces had tacitly eliminated the other's ally. Both sides cooperated so well that if the Silver Stream Army hadn't attacked the Blood Wolf Flag at the last moment and the Blood Wolf Flag hadn't taught the Silver Stream Army a lesson, they would have thought that the real alliance was between the Blood Wolf Flag and the Silver Stream Army.
Although the battle had stopped, no one doubted that the real battle would happen at night. Only then would the elite evolvers of the Silver Stream Army unleash their greatest power. Therefore, the night was the focus of the battle. Once the winner was decided, it would be their turn.
"It's hard to say. The Blood Wolf Flag has the ability to fight the Silver Stream Army to a stalemate. Obviously, they have something else to rely on. I'm afraid that the Silver Stream Army might not be able to bite this bone."
Zhao Jun said as he shook his head. At this moment, he admired Wu Yun Ge Riley to the extreme. Before facing the allied army that was twice their number, Wu Yun Ge Riley actually held onto the 122mm rocket launcher in his hand, allowing the frontline to suffer heavy casualties. It was only when the Silver Stream Army launched a surprise attack that he let go and destroyed the defenseless artillery position of the Silver Stream Army.
After that, the defense of the position was even more impressive. When the armored vehicles released smoke, the Silver Stream Army used anti-tank guns to attack. When the tanks entered the position, the car bombs and the incendiary bombs were used. The Silver Stream Army's most powerful weapon was completely defeated.
"I think the Silver Stream Army will win. At night, the Wolf Flag Army won't be able to use their rocket launchers and car bombs. Once the Silver Stream Army gathers their forces, it will be six well-rested infantry battalions against five battalions that have been fighting for a day. During the day, the Wolf Flag Army lost almost a thousand men, while the Silver Stream Army lost less than five hundred men …"
Ding Zhiqiang naturally sided with the Silver Stream Army. Although Wu Yun Gale Riley had used many tricks during the day, it was still a trick. It couldn't be compared to the Silver Stream Army's straightforward attack. Whether it was tactics or the rhythm of the attack, there was not much of a problem. Other than the artillery position and the armored vehicles, there was basically no big problem.
"No matter who wins tonight, tomorrow, we will be the winner."
Zhang Xiao Qiang kicked the table fiercely, as he looked at the 2 beside him and said stubbornly, before giving the order.
"Tell Xu Hao to move. Be careful of the small planes in the sky. Tell him to go around the town and gather the retreating soldiers. Tell them to continue attacking the Blood Wolf Flag Army. Kill anyone who doesn't listen.
The thousand men from the Golden Wolf Flag and the three field companies that were left behind will all rush over and be ready to provide support at any time. Also, pass down the order to eat dinner in advance. Once the sky is dark, we will move out to the back of the mountain that I previously attacked. We will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. "
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to wait any longer. He gave orders one after another. The people below started to get busy. Some cooked, some packed up their equipment. The ammunition that was transported from the rear was distributed to the soldiers. The officers were giving orders in front of the soldiers. The heavy firepower soldiers were maintaining their equipment. The armored soldiers were testing the condition of the vehicles.
At 7pm, the sky had just turned dark, but the road was still clear. The 500 soldiers of the Field Army moved out, leaving only a platoon of soldiers to provide supplies and guidance to the troops behind.
Under the night sky, when the last ray of light was being chased away, the convoy of the Field Army finally arrived at the place where Zhang Xiaoqiang had attacked the Black Wolf Flag Army. This place was less than seven kilometers away from the main battlefield, and it was a suitable place to station troops. Furthermore, the vegetation on the hillside was almost as tall as one's chest, making it a suitable place for an ambush.
Meow was sent out to eliminate the hidden sentries. According to the old rules, Zhang Xiaoqiang ordered the strength-based evolvers to move the anti-aircraft cannons and machine guns to various high points. Then, all the troops moved into the previously dug positions. When the sun rose tomorrow, they would launch a surprise attack from the back of the Ying family.
Just in case, Zhang Xiaoqiang also brought a company of troops and Zhao Jun to a high point at the edge of the battlefield, preparing to set up an ambush.
As soon as they arrived, the sky lit up with flares. There were flares from both the Blood Wolf Flag Army and the Silver Stream Army, illuminating everything within ten kilometers. In the next moment, hundreds of red lines of fire swept across the night sky, landing on the Silver Stream Army's camp. The Silver Stream Army's camp had suffered a large scale bombardment during the day, so there were no landmarks. Furthermore, the accuracy of the rockets had always been terrible, and all that could be seen was a fireball exploding at the same time.
The violent roar could be heard clearly from a few kilometers away. As soon as the faint thunder-like roar reached people's ears, the edge of the Blood Wolf Flag's camp exploded. Countless bright warheads flew in the night sky, and explosions occurred one after another. Fireballs flickered in and out of the camp, and figures flashed in the firelight.
"Reconnaissance squad, go ahead and investigate. Report everything you see to me …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. He didn't need to go out for a small investigation. Following his orders, ten strong figures leaped out.
Wu Yun Gale Riley was one step ahead. He took the lead in launching artillery fire at the camp, disrupting the rhythm of the enemy's attack. Then, he took the initiative to counterattack, greatly increasing the pressure on the Silver Stream Army's front line. Zhang Xiaoqiang was behind the Blood Wolf Flag Army, so he couldn't see very clearly. However, he could see that there were thousands of people carrying rifles charging towards the Silver Stream Army's position.
The Blood Wolf Flag Army's sudden attack shocked Zhang Xiaoqiang and the Silver Stream Army. There were only about three thousand people left in the Blood Wolf Flag Army. After fighting for a whole day, they should be focusing on defense at night. Why would they use such a human wave attack?
Once there was a large number of casualties, the Blood Wolf Flag Army wouldn't be able to stop the Silver Stream Army's counterattack.
For a moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Shi Yuanye couldn't understand what was going on. Had Wu Yun Gale Riley gone crazy?
Thousands of soldiers charged towards the Silver Stream Army's position, but they were swept down by tens of thousands of bullets. From time to time, artillery shells would explode in the crowd, and the corpses that flew into the sky weren't just a few, but a large number.
More than twenty off-road vehicles ran over the bodies on the ground, splashing blood several meters high as they charged into the Silver Stream Army's camp. Dozens of huge fireballs burned and exploded everywhere in the camp. The ground shook violently, and many people fell to the ground due to the shaking. The rest of the people squatted down and fired at the Silver Stream Army from time to time. When the shaking stopped, they continued to charge …
This time, the Silver Stream Army's position was pierced through. The Wolf Flag Army's flanks were shot at by the Silver Stream Army's soldiers. The Silver Stream Army couldn't hold on any longer and retreated. The victorious Wolf Flag Army didn't defend their land. Instead, they continued to chase after the Silver Stream Army.
While the Blood Wolf Flag Army was in pursuit, a scout came back and reported to Zhang Xiaoqiang:
"Report, the defense behind the Blood Wolf Flag Army hasn't decreased. We were almost discovered, and … and we discovered that there are at least three battalions of Blood Wolf Flag Army gathering near us …"
"What, they have three more battalions?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. I saw the charge just now. There are at least three thousand people, plus the three battalions behind them, armored battalions, and cavalry. Where did they get so many people? "
Zhao Jun screamed. Just as he finished speaking, the Silver Stream Army's counterattack arrived. Countless mortar shells fell on the Blood Wolf Flag Army. The shells exploded continuously, and a curtain of fire spread out on the dark ground. Countless black dots of human bodies flew up and down in the continuous explosions. Then more than twenty IFVs lined up, and more than twenty fire tongues swept across. The scarlet trajectories of the bullets were blinding under the night sky.
Behind the IFVs, dozens of heavy machine guns on the assault vehicles filled the gaps in the firepower net, covering all the Wolf Flag Army. In an instant, the Wolf Flag Army collapsed. The Silver Stream Army that had escaped earlier let out a victory cry and turned around to chase the Blood Wolf Flag Army. At this time, the Blood Wolf Flag Army's previous position was reactivated.
