Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 657 Leading and Attacking

The 12th Army led by Ye Feng finally arrived at their destination after a long journey of many days. They needed to rest, resupply, formulate battle plans, solve logistics and other problems here.

More importantly, we must send scouts in advance and go deep into Outer Mongolia to explore the enemy's intelligence information and understand the enemy's movements, troop numbers, weapons and equipment, defensive positions, and so on.

After all, more than 20 years ago, the Northern Kingdom relied on force to forcibly occupy and control more than one million square meters of land outside.

In recent years, China and Outer Mongolia have been almost completely separated, with no contact at all.

This time, we will go deep into Outer Mongolia to fight and face the powerful Northern Bear Country army and the local Outer Mongolian troops. These two opponents are not weak. In order to win the battle and quickly recover this land, we must formulate various strategic plans and study the various problems that may be encountered after sending troops.

That is a vast open area of ​​grassland. There is no good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once we encounter a group of enemy tanks, how should we fight?

If the war goes badly, where should we retreat to?

After the two sides fell into a stalemate, how to keep up with the supply from the rear was a difficult problem that Ye Feng needed to consider.

"Commander, the Northern Bear Country only has three regiments of troops outside. The number of people is not large, but they are a motorized division. I think our strategy should be based on 'stability'. We should advance steadily and attack Ulaanbaatar in Outer Mongolia. As long as we recapture this city, the situation will be under our control."

Song Yu continued:

"Facing the mechanized forces, mobile tank groups, and air combat aircraft strike forces of the Northern Bear Country."

"This is the enemy's advantage. We only rely on our two legs and can never outrun them."

"So we should set up a pocket formation, lure the enemy in, and then seal the pocket, trying to consume a large number of the enemy's manpower."

Division Commander Niu Chujun also said:

"We should bring more mines and explosives with us this time and lay minefields to deal with the enemy's tank groups."

"As for the Northern Bear Country's air fighters, it is best to disperse the forces and use battalion-level combat units. Even if we encounter an enemy air strike, we can minimize our casualties."

Ye Feng nodded, asked the recorder of the meeting to write it down, and then asked:

"We fought the Japanese, especially in the past six months, starting from the south of the Yangtze River and sweeping all the way north, and finally drove the Japanese out of Shenzhou. The North Bear Country must have known about these battles. What if the officers of the North Bear Country do not fight us head-on, but use the advantage of high mobility to keep engaging us?"

If Ye Feng was a general of the Northern Bear Kingdom, he would have only one combat idea: to fight fast and annihilate the enemy in a rapid movement.

Taking advantage of the high mobility of the tank armored group, they quickly approached, then launched intensive firepower output, causing casualties, and then decisively withdrew.

If you continue to fight for several waves, even if you have tens of thousands of people, you will have to stop advancing due to heavy casualties.

At the same time, a mechanized team can be dispatched to go around the rear and cut off the underground party’s logistics supply route.

This kind of tactics will eventually lead to the death of the army.

Unfortunately, the officers of the Northern Bear Country must be extremely arrogant, thinking that the troops of Shenzhou are weak and vulnerable and pose no threat at all. Once the two sides come into close combat, the officers of the Northern Bear Country will definitely want to end the battle with a single sweep.

The head of the regiment, Zheng Hua, asked, "Commander, our current relationship with the Northern Bear Country is not bad. In recent years, many commanders of our troops have gone to the military academy of the Northern Bear Country to study in order to improve their military literacy. If we send troops under such a situation, will it be..."

Zheng Hua was right. At this time, Shenzhou and Beixiong Kingdom were indeed still in the "honeymoon period" of getting along harmoniously.

However, he did not know that Stalin, the top official of the Northern Bear Country, had already taken great precautions against Shenzhou. Especially after resolving the war with Germany, his ambitions had expanded further, and he looked down upon Shenzhou, which was still poor and backward.

Someone will say.

According to the history of Ye Feng's previous life, after they defeated Germany, didn't they send troops from the three northeastern provinces to help defeat the Japanese?

The Northern Bear Country has sent troops.

But they were more concerned about their own interests. In the international environment at that time, their Northern Country was in opposition to the capital-rich Ugly Country. The two top military countries in the world were fighting openly and secretly, and both wanted to suppress the other.

At that time, the time of Japan's defeat was getting closer and closer.

The Northern Bear Country naturally could not sit idly by and watch the Ugly Country stir up trouble in East Asia, nor could it sit idly by and watch the Ugly Country control the sovereignty of dealing with the defeated Japan, so it decisively chose to send troops south.

On the surface, it is to help Shenzhou end the war, but secretly, it is also a game with the Ugly Country.

If the relationship between the two countries is really that good, why doesn't the Northern Bear Country return the more than two million acres of land north of the three northeastern provinces?

Why not return Outer Mongolia?

to be honest.

People look down on you as a little brother of China, but at the same time they need you to follow them and wave their flags to help deal with the Ugly Country.

How can you expect a good attitude from Stalin, the top leader of the Northern Bear Country, an ambitious man who even looks down on the Ugly Country?

In response to everyone's doubts, Ye Feng said, "Germany's hundreds of thousands of troops are attacking the Northern Bear Country, taking advantage of our northern neighbor's lack of time to look south. This is our only chance to recapture Outer Mongolia."

"You may ask, can't we wait until the war in the Northern Bear Country is over before sitting down and discussing?"

"This is just deceiving oneself. Twenty years ago, the Northern Bear Country sent troops to control Outer Mongolia and forcibly took this land from our Shenzhou regime. When our relationship was harmonious, the other party avoided talking about the Outer Mongolia issue. We were not strong enough, so we could only grit our teeth and swallow it."

"When the war with the Northern Bear Country ends, I speculate that their military strength will rise to a terrifying height, perhaps several times higher than it is now. By then, we will not be able to recover Outer Mongolia."

Ye Feng traveled through time and space and was very clear about the subsequent development of the Northern Bear Country. In the process of defeating Germany, the current Northern Bear Country would be the leader, and more than a dozen neighboring countries would join his camp.

Once the super northern bear country that makes the ugly country feel palpitations and fear is born, the whole world will tremble.

"Commander, since you have inferred that the Northern Bear Country will become even more powerful after defeating Germany, can we withstand their future wrath if we become their enemy now?" someone asked.

Ye Feng didn't answer, of course he had thought of a solution.

At no time should there be an overly powerful neighbor around one's own country.

There should not be a military power.

No matter how good your relationship is now, no matter how close you are, this relationship is very fragile in the face of national interests.

I want to be able to sleep well at home and I want the border to be secure.

Then just make your neighbors weaker and less aggressive.
