After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

Chapter 650: A big gamble, if you win you'll make a fortune!

"This battle is destined to make these foreign troops fall into our hands." The chief of staff's face was full of excitement, as if he had already won the war.

For a moment, everyone present echoed.

"Yes, Chief of Staff, thanks to the general manager's advance plan!"

"Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to deal with these foreign troops!"

"After this battle, our expeditionary force will become completely famous!"

"You're right, this foreign army is definitely more valuable than the Gaul army!"

In contrast to the high morale of everyone present, Bai Chongxi's face now looked solemn.

"Commander Bai, what are you doing?" The chief of staff at the side met Bai Chongxi's worried gaze and asked with some confusion.

"Although from the perspective of action, this plan is indeed a hundred benefits with no harm!"

"But you all missed the most fatal problem, which is that no matter whether their 100,000 troops go from the south or the north, the troops we have ambushed in advance are only six divisions!"

"Even if we can take advantage of the fact that these 100,000 troops are completely unaware of the situation and launch the first attack."

"Have you thought about this?" Bai Chongxi looked around and frowned as he said, "If we can't wipe them out completely, we can just wait for them to react and retreat back to Henei in time."

"Then the enemy will not only be these 100,000 foreign troops, it is very likely that we will have double the force waiting for us!"

"We must prepare for this situation in advance!"

Those who were cheering just now suddenly fell silent after hearing Bai Chongxi's words.

It turns out that old ginger is still wise. In terms of combat experience, they are still too green.

After hearing this, the chief of staff's expression became serious.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander Bai, you really think it through!"

"Although we can't take down 11 foreign troops in one go, we can place the core of them on the th Corps side, and we will serve as their support!"

"As long as we can tie up these 11 foreign troops, I believe it won't be long before Yodobe Prefecture will fall completely under the fierce offensive of the th Corps!"

"After that, we can take over several provincial capitals in the surrounding areas, and after successfully joining forces with several other troops, we can launch the final battle against He Nei!"

Listening to the chief of staff's words, Bai Chongxi interrupted directly.

"No, it's too risky to do so. This will put too much pressure on Lu Daoyuan's 11th Corps!"

"Unless we give them two days and two nights, we will have a chance to take over the surrounding provincial capitals!"

"And this is based on the best possible outcome. If something unexpected happens, we will probably pay a heavy price!"

Having said this, Bai Chongxi's face was full of hesitation.

After hearing this, the chief of staff on the side thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Commander Bai, Commander-in-Chief!"

"In fact, I have another bold idea, which is to transfer the troops of four armies and place them directly on one of the front lines!"

"This way, the difference in military strength won't be that big!"

"If we win, we can easily take over the surrounding provincial capitals. If we lose, we can just give up everything and retreat in time!"

"But in this case, the heavy losses are nothing, it's just a waste of effort."

"To be honest, the current situation on the battlefield is like this. If the balance of victory leans towards them, then they can still benefit. But if..."

After hearing these words, the expressions of everyone present suddenly became solemn and serious. This was no longer a battle, but more like a gamble.

The winners made a lot of money, while the losers suffered heavy losses.

Looking at the solemn expressions of everyone present, the chief of staff turned his gaze to Bai Chongxi standing aside and spoke.

"Commander Bai, you make the decision!"

In response to the chief of staff's question, Bai Chongxi simply waved his hand.

"No!"

"The commander-in-chief is now the supreme commander of our army. Moreover, his acumen on the battlefield is far beyond our reach!"

"Whether morally or rationally, this decision should be made by him."

As soon as Bai Chongxi said this, everyone present nodded and then turned their attention to Qin Feng.

Obviously, the final difficult problem was still thrown to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng looked at the Yuenan map hanging on the wall, and a sharp look flashed across his face.

"We are not betting on these 100,000 foreign elites, but on the control of the entire Beiyue region!"

"Chief of Staff, quickly send a telegram to the 11th Corps and tell them to fight with all their might. Tell them that I will take care of all the rations and equipment!"

"At the same time, let Liu Jiashu act according to the plan and say that it is his turn to perform!"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

The chief of staff agreed and headed out the door.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Bai Chongxi on the side looked puzzled.

"Commander-in-Chief, what are you doing?"

Facing Bai Chongxi's doubts, Qin Feng just smiled: "The Gaul army wants to delay time, but I won't do as they wish!"

"Commander Bai, just watch!"

"It will take less than 24 hours to know the result!"

"Commander-in-Chief, this..." Bai Chongxi looked at Qin Feng with fear on his face, as if he had thought of something.

Qin Feng's action is obviously to swallow up Beiyue's Gallic army as a whole!

Use these 17 foreign troops as bait to attract follow-up troops, and at the same time send the 3th Corps and the rd Corps to block their retreat.

"But this is really too risky!" Bai Chongxi said earnestly.

Qin Feng frowned and said, "If we follow your way, when will we be able to capture He Nei?"

"Don't forget our original purpose!"

"Do you all want to stay in Yuenan one by one?"

When Qin Feng said this, everyone present suddenly thought that they were being too stubborn.

If you don't enter a tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son.

The commander-in-chief is right, they also want to take over Yuenan and continue their expansion.

We can't just take root in Yuenan for three to five years, because by then the opportunity will be gone.

...

Dianbianfu.

Dekoski, who received the call in the middle of the night, was already burning with rage, and his entire body was almost solidified by anger.

"You better be in big trouble!"

Just when I was sleeping soundly, the phone rang one after another, as if urging my life.

"Gudong!" Facing the furious commander, the chief of staff was also very embarrassed at this time. He swallowed and suppressed the panic in his heart.

Chief of Staff: "I'm sorry, Commander, I...I really have something important to report!"

Hearing his subordinates' hesitating voices, Dekoski became even more furious.

"You idiot, you can't even finish a sentence!"

"Say it!"

Listening to Dekoski's voice on the phone, the chief of staff had no doubt that if he stood in front of him now, he would definitely be slapped a few times.

Thinking of this, the chief of staff closed his eyes and blurted out the information he had just obtained.

"Commander-in-Chief, it's... several of our most important surrounding counties have fallen!"

"It is very likely that Dianbianfu will not be able to be defended now!"

The chief of staff's words suddenly sobered Dekoski up, and his face was full of horror.

"This is impossible!"

"Everything fell in less than twelve hours?"

After listening to Dekoski's words, the chief of staff nodded directly.

"Yes Commander!"

"Perhaps we didn't know enough about this expeditionary force from Xia Country. They are not the kind of troops that fled from Xia Country as we imagined!"

"This expeditionary force is hundreds of times stronger than Beiyue's troops in terms of combat effectiveness and firepower. Our heavy artillery units are simply vulnerable in front of them!"

"This expeditionary force and their artillery unit have obviously undergone professional training, and the two work very well together!"

"Commander, this is nothing. What we didn't expect is that this expeditionary force is actually equipped with 107mm rocket launchers!"

"This is comparable to the Katyusha rocket launcher!"

"The gap in firepower is so huge that we haven't even explored the enemy's artillery position clearly, and they have already launched a salvo at our position!"

"Our heavy artillery and its commander were both killed by the expeditionary force's 107mm rocket launcher!"

The Chief of Staff paused and continued.

"Seeing that Xicha County was about to be breached, the troops defending the city had never seen such a scene before, so they immediately chose to abandon all their baggage and flee!"

"This..." Hearing the chief of staff's words, Dekoski's face was full of complexity. He did not expect that the situation would evolve step by step into what it is now.

After a pause, he gave an order in a solemn voice: "Catch all these deserters back for me!"

"At the same time, send a message to all the troops in Dianbian Prefecture. Today I want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys!"

"Let them know what happens to deserters!"

"Yes! Commander!"

The Chief of Staff nodded and spoke hesitantly.

"Commander-in-Chief, forgive me for being blunt, but it's probably too late to make an example of someone now. The most important thing for us now is to think about how to stabilize the situation!"

Hearing what the staff officer said, DeCoster on the other end of the phone had an expression of unquestionable firmness.

"In less than ten hours, several surrounding counties were completely occupied. This is no small matter. These deserters survived, but what about the soldiers and generals who died in the battle?"

"No matter which battle or which army, there will be absolutely no room for deserters!"

"These deserters are doomed!"

"As for stabilizing the situation, we can't do it. Now we just hope that reinforcements will arrive soon!"

"As long as we hold on for another 24 hours, we will be able to receive support from the foreign troops from Alria and completely turn the tide of the war!"

"Even if this expeditionary force has great capabilities, can it still continue to suppress us?"

"In the dictionary of our Gallic army, there is no word called surrender!"

"Sooner or later, I will make this expeditionary force prostrate themselves before our Gallic army one by one!"

......

Liangshan Province.

Command.

"That's what it is!"

"We have already grasped the lifeline of Dianbian Prefecture and can strangle it at any time!"

The chief of staff reported to Qin Feng and Bai Chongxi in front of him. He paused and continued.

"Although Dekoski, the commander-in-chief of the Gaul Army in Dibianfu, sent telegrams to Henei repeatedly requesting immediate support, they are destined to never receive their reinforcements!"

As soon as the chief of staff said this, there was a burst of cheers in the command center.

"It has to be the 11th Corps. They can force Knuckles into this state with just one move!"

"The location of Dianbianfu is too important. If it falls, won't the entire Henei be open to us as if it were an uninhabited place?"

"If he falls into Narva's hands, his tenure as commander-in-chief will be over!"

While everyone was smiling and looking excited, Qin Feng was a little abnormal.

Bai Chongxi, who was standing by, noticed this scene and asked Qin Feng, "Commander-in-Chief, is there anything wrong?"

Hearing Bai Chongxi's inquiring voice, Qin Feng nodded slightly.

"First, things are going too smoothly!"

"Second, there is still a foreign troop that has not shown up yet!"

Having said that, Qin Feng looked at the map beside him, then slowly spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, the plan from the beginning for this foreign army was to create a surprise effect!"

"This unit is their trump card!"

Hearing Qin Feng's guess, Bai Chongxi on the side couldn't help but frown.

"Commander-in-Chief, you mean to say—"

Qin Feng took over Bai Chongxi's unfinished words: "Old nest!"

Hearing this answer, Bai Chongxi did not seem very surprised, but he still had some questions in his mind.

"Commander-in-chief, if these 20,000 foreign troops are coming from our base, then there will be a problem with the timing!"

"It will take at least seven days. If they are delayed on the way, it may take ten days. So even if they have a lot of speed, they can't show up on the battlefield now, right?"

"But if they don't arrive now, then what's the point of them going to all that trouble?"

"It's really weird!"

However, just when Bai Chongxi racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, Qin Feng's next words made him completely realize it.

......

In the field.

The highest headquarters of the Gallic army.

Ever since receiving the news that Naxos had ordered the army to go out, Zamusa had been in an uncontrollable state.

He used his hands and feet and excitedly danced the dance he was best at.

For him, this action is a good opportunity to be promoted and recorded in the history of Aliya!

The troops he led were the strongest and most numerous Arlia troops among the foreign legions of the Gallic Army!

Their 100,000 troops are a force that cannot be underestimated no matter where they are placed!

The reason why Zamusa was so excited was that the highest commander of the Gallic army in Yue personally promised him that if he could successfully eliminate the expeditionary force that defected from the Xia Kingdom in this battle.

The supreme commander of the Gallic army will use his power to further enhance Zamusa's status in Arlia!

And this is just the first step. When the time is right, their Gallic army will help Zamusa take the position he has coveted for so long!
