Chapter 108: Will they come?

"Ugh". Stilwell sighed and briefly explained the main points.
It turned out that after Montgomery sent Grant and others to intercept military transportation vehicles, the news from the headquarters, combined with the information provided by the monitoring radar, found that the Mond City Garrison was heading towards the northern Gunter Mountains, which is said to be a resource mining area. A large-scale riot broke out, and the uprising miners were preparing to advance southwest and occupy a military base on the Diromos plateau.
　　 "Unite all forces that can be united", this is Marion's slogan, and it is also the strategic policy of the rebel army.
　　 The garrison of Mond City rushed to support, and the miners' combat power alone would inevitably be lost. After thinking about it again and again, Montgomery believed that it was necessary to rescue them and enrich the strength of the Union Army of Northern Jiangsu. Of course, if the air base on the Dromos plateau can be removed, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
　　 So almost a battalion of troops was sent to guide the evacuation of the miners.
　　 The Mund City Garrison assisted the Diromos Plateau in the north, and the city’s defensive ability was greatly reduced. This is a good time to expand the results. After discussion and research by the General Staff, an action plan was finally made to openly repair the plank road and darken the warehouse.
　　 Excluding the 500 troops supporting the miners' uprising, the number of Union troops stationed in the Makanda factory area is about 15,000. Montgomery divided the 15,000 people into three groups.
　　 The first group of 3,000 people attacked the air freight terminal 100 kilometers north of the Dala Saltworks in the northeast direction, where the government used to store food for transportation.
　　 The second group of 1,800 people, all riding in armored vehicles with excellent speed performance, bypassed the city of Mond from the north, interspersed behind the enemy, and maneuvered around the logistics supply line of the First Army.
　　 The above two groups of men are just to confuse the military's sight. In fact, a 10,000-person armed force is set off from the Makanda Arsenal in mighty force to take the city of Mond in the West.
　　 The distance between the Makanda Arsenal and the city of Mond is only 47 kilometers. Montgomery did not move the combat command center, and only brought about 300 defensive troops to stay in Makanda to command operations.
　　The attack on the city of Mond went smoothly. It took less than three hours before and after the two battalions left behind in the city to hung up white flags and surrendered out of the city. At the same time, news of victory in the war came from the troops attacking the air cargo terminal in the north.
　　 Montgomery and others were all rejoiced. Once the city of Mond was lost, the First Army lost its frontline stronghold to suppress the Union Army of Northern Jiangsu. There is no doubt that this was a very heavy blow to the government. On the other hand, after occupying the city of Mond, the Union Army of Northern Jiangsu can use this as a springboard to radiate its military influence to the west, north and south, and join forces with the Union Army of Southern Jiangsu operating in the southern area of ​​the Sunaru River. Put most of the eastern coast of the Odin mainland under the control of the rebel army. Directly retreated the First Army to the western inland.
In addition, the occupation of Mond City will bring another benefit. A large number of peasants, laborers, and proletariat who yearn for the insurgent army will enthusiastically join the revolutionary ranks and become a member of the Union Army of Northern Jiangsu and rebel forces. Naturally, the tide will rise.
　　 Montgomery has good ideas and good strategic considerations. However, something unexpected happened to him. An elite army of government forces suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the Makanda Arsenal, surrounded the Northern Jiangsu Union Command and launched a fierce offensive.
　　 The garrison of the insurgents has only a mere 300 men. Under the attack of the elite troops of the opposing brigade, all they can do is to shrink and defend. At the same time, the Second South China Sea Fleet, which was lingering in the military port, took advantage of the fact that the main fleets of both sides were sawing in the North Sea, bypassing the southeast coast occupied by the Soviet Union Army, all the way to the north and straight east. Inserting into Root Bay, like a sharp knife, is approaching the throat of the Alliance army.
　　 Montgomery was stupid now, combined with the enemy's movements and tactical layout, he recognized a fact. He was overcast, and the military played once to lure the enemy into deep. Taking the riot in the Dromos Plateau as an opportunity, the city of Mond was used as a bait to lure the Union Army of Northern Jiangsu into using troops eastward. So that the elite troops of the offensive headquarters and the guided-missile destroyer formation in Root Bay could cut off the back of the rebel army.
I'm afraid that the 408 Armored Division of the government army rushing to the northwest from Mond City to support will make a false shot, and cooperate with the 508 Armored Division stationed at the headquarters of the First Army Corps in the western inland. . At that time, facing the military's three-sided attack, the own legion will inevitably be unable to escape defeat. Even if the tortoise is stuck in the city of Mond, under the siege, the military will fluctuate and it is difficult to hold it for long.
Thinking that the Union Army was about to face such a situation, Montgomery gritted his teeth and informed the front line of the attack on the Makanda Arsenal, and ordered the rebels in Mond City to abandon their original goals and retreat to the south to join the Union Army. Converge.
　　 His decision to make this means that he has given up self-help and died generously for justice.
　　 But it's a pity that his men refused to cooperate. The distance between the Makanda Arsenal and the city of Mond is less than 50 kilometers.
The senior leaders of the Union Army of Northern Jiangsu, headed by Stilwell and Schonite, decided to return to the west. After Montgomery was rescued, they turned north and joined the group of troops attacking the air freight terminal, and then retreated north along the coastline. Upon reaching the northeast coast, you can shelter under the wings of the North Sea Fleet No. 1 and No. 2 Fleet to protect all the strength of the fleet.
　　 However, what they didn't expect was that the 1,500-man troop that besieged the command headquarters, under the cover of the Root Bay guided-missile destroyer formation, was surprised to withstand the fierce attacks of most of the armored divisions of the Rebel Army.
　　 What made them even more frustrated was that the communication with the command headquarters was paralyzed by electronic interference. If the headquarters fell and Montgomery died, they would immediately turn around and retreat, but the key is that Montgomery and others are still alive.
　　 Give up the headquarters? Watching his colleagues fight to death? They are not reconciled. Not give up? Continue to attack? A fool can see that the enemy is clearly playing delaying tactics. Once the enemy troops from the northwest and southwest arrive, they will eat them all like dumplings. For a time, the Alliance Army was caught in a dilemma.
　　 After listening to the narration, Grant's face became a little embarrassed. He thought that they were the only ones in danger, but he didn't expect that even the headquarters would experience a nightmare scene.
　　 "Then what shall we do next?"
　　 Stilwell was about to speak when a conscript was passing by with a soldier on his back.
　　 "Wait." Stilwell stepped forward, ignoring the filthiness of the blood, wiped the blood on the soldier's face with his sleeve, and gently brushed his angry eyes: "Let's go."
　　 Another stretcher passed by. The injured soldier was blown into a big hole in his left abdomen, blood gurgling out, and falling drop by drop along the steel plate below.
　　 He was shaking constantly, his face was pale and there was no trace of blood, and he listened to his ears, and a sound like a babble and a low hum lingered in his ear.
　　 Stilwell flashed a sorrow in his eyes, waved to the medics to pause, took off his T-shirt, lightly covered the soldiers' bodies, and then waved to the medics to continue.
　　 He didn't speak, just turned his head and looked at the place where the explosion lit up. There are countless scars lying on his dark back. There are long and narrow knife wounds, burns caused by the electrode pestle on the skin, and round scars left by bullets shot into the body.
　　 Glancing at the devastated frontline battlefield, Grant tightened his assault rifle: "Major, or else, I'll take someone to try it."
Stilwell turned to scan Joey, Monroe, Little Sam, and others behind Grant, and shook his head: "This time the enemies are all elite military, sophisticated weapons, large-caliber machine guns, snipers, and relying on the high ground. There is also battleship gunfire support, you can only go up to die."
　　 "They... are still young..."
Grant clenched his fists vigorously and said nothing, but little Sam suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Tarosa and the others... they said they would help us, UU reading www.uukānshu.com maybe, they can. ……can……"
　　 Stilwell turned his head and glared at him: "Who is Tarosa?"
　　 "He...they..." Little Sam was startled, and his body shrank back. Stilwell was tall, tall, black, and had a fierce look, with a lot of blood stained on his body, looking from a distance, it looked like an evil god.
　　 "I'm just talking casually." Monroe interrupted little Sam's kowtow, shook his head, and a bitter smile curled up on his mouth.
　　 "Sam, don't be silly." Walton rubbed little Sam's head: "If he really intends to help us, how can he get off the car halfway. After all, this is our war and has nothing to do with them."
　　 "But...but..." Little Sam struggled to argue, thinking about what Howson said to him in the bar, and thinking about Tang Fang's smile. In the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe that they were a group of treacherous hypocrites.
"Yes, Sam, you have to learn to grow up and be credulous. Many times you will lose your life in vain." Joey also persuaded from the side: "They are all foreigners, and they don't know us Crowe. The suffering of Tan people, they don't realize our hatred for this empire, and they don't understand our persistence."
　　 "As long as we breathe, we will fight this decadent, fallen, and hopeless dynasty to the end. This is our vow, and it is also the courage that supports us to live."
　　 Little Sam stopped speaking, and looked at the clear sky in the south with a look of confusion. A faint yellowish gleam in the Xishan Col. The setting sun is like blood, and the sunset is thick.
