Chapter 1825 - 1825
You wouldn't have expected this, Long Bo, the warlord general known as the Wabei Butcher, has started to attend People's Party lessons and People's Army ideological courses.
This is the brilliance of Liu Zhizhong; he has ideas, strategy, courage, and wisdom, boldly delivering a dimensional strike against the new leader of the Wabei warlords, ready to further expand the territory of the People's Army.
Connecting Wabei and Goa into one land is already considerable, occupying a quarter of Vallebang's territory.
If the following actions succeed in swallowing up the Xue Family Army's territory, along with the two other small warlords attached to them, my goodness... the People's Party and the People's Army will hold one-third of Vallebang's territory. The great undertaking is just around the corner, isn't it?
Liu Zhizhong and his entourage smoothly entered and exited the Wabei Butcher's territory, returning loaded with success. Of course, regarding the initial attacks, Liu Zhizhong still doesn't want to confront Long Bo about it. They'll settle it after the victory!
Liu Zhizhong is the kind of person who understands priorities, knowing what matters must be tackled first.
Compared to the dream of liberation for Vallebang, his personal grudges seem to become less significant.
Of course, without this resentment, he probably wouldn't have come this far. Perhaps he would still be swaying back and forth in domestic officialdom, strategizing and managing, isn't that quite tiresome?
Liberating the people of Vallebang is definitely a more meaningful endeavor!
The next morning, Liu Zhizhong and his companions had already retreated smoothly to the northern border area of Goa, entering the exercise command headquarters.
What follows is a silent period, waiting for the Xue Family Army to continue advancing north, maneuvering, and then entering the encirclement; then all actions will commence.
Before leaving, Liu Zhizhong also clarified to Long Bo that his Wabei Army's tasks were heavy: firstly, to intercept the Xue Family's northbound troops; secondly, to launch a southward attack on Wazhong City; thirdly, to heavily defend against the Peng Family Army from the west.
Liu Zhizhong saw through and understood Old Fox Peng's tricks. Once the Wabei Army and Xue Family Army are engaged, who can guarantee he won't assassinate from behind to seize the fruits of the revolution? For instance, capturing a part of Wabei's territory, then seizing a portion of the Xue Family's Wazhong Region?
Liu Zhizhong definitely doesn't believe Peng Zhensheng sincerely wants to peacefully divide the Xue Family's Wazhong Region with him.
Therefore, in a world littered with warlords, if you want to liberate all the people and move towards a republic, there are too many precautions to take.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong, Liu Dongyuan, Ruan Juhai, and Jiang Ziyang spent a continuous week researching, meeting, and setting up. Because if the war starts and all lines aren't running smoothly, this battle won't be easy. Even though Long Bo proposed a blitzkrieg, which appeared to be rapid and efficient, in actuality, it requires higher demands in logistics support, firepower configuration and output, and tactical methods.
Therefore, a stockpile of military supplies is underway, which is essential.
And Liu Zhizhong on his side also maintains close contact with Peng Zhensheng, mainly for intelligence sharing, waiting for actions by the Xue Family Army.
Liu Zhizhong certainly won't just threaten Wazhong City; once the war starts, directly eliminate the two small warlords to the east, then lead forces westward, directly targeting Wazhong City! At that time, when the Wabei elite troops head south, Liu Zhizhong will really fight and fight fiercely!
As for whether Peng Zhensheng dares to fight, Liu Zhizhong isn't sure. If his side and Long Bo's offensive are particularly fierce, certainly Old Fox Peng wouldn't dare move. If it's not fierce enough, the possibility is real that Old Man Peng could launch an attack to seize territory.
Clearly, Liu Zhizhong doesn't want Peng Zhensheng to expand his territory, so the pre-war demands are even higher.
Concentrate all the power, mobilize the strongest forces, to fight the largest scale blitzkrieg in Vallebang's history; this is the theme of this battle.
Thus, not even two months after Vallebang's New Year, a groundbreaking battle began.
In such a battle, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable, later referred to as the "Spring Blood Flow" battle!
When the Xue Family Army officially advanced north into all the border defenses of Wabei and Goa Regions, replacing the defenses, and could only receive the next action order, the pincer assault by the Wabei Army and Goa People's Army officially began!
At the sound of artillery, bloodshed commenced!
Under the hail of bullets and rain of shells, lives were reaped!
Wabei strikes!
Goa strikes!
Artillery, mortars, rocket launchers, tanks, drones, HIMARS, infantry fighting vehicles... all deployed to the battlefield, creating a torrential blood-battle flood, explosion sounds echoing throughout Vallebang.
Xue Manzi was stunned by the attack! Nothing went as he planned, and before even fully deploying, he was met head-on with a fierce strike, attacked from both flanks, not to mention the Goa Army also began frantically attacking, capturing one warlord in three days, taking down another in five days, and directly threatening Wazhong City on the sixth day!
In desperation, Xue Manzi furiously attempted to contact Liu Zhizhong's side, but could no longer connect!
He reached out to Long Bo, hoping he would stop and join forces against the Goa Army. He did get through, but Long Bo's roar was deafening: "You Xue, I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna avenge my brother-in-law! Old warlord, you bastard, go to hell, huh? This world will belong to the People's Party, it will belong to the People's Army! Tomorrow, I'll announce to the whole region, surrender to the People's Party, surrender to the People's Army!"
Xue Manzi felt as if hit by thunder, speechless for a long time.
He painstakingly set up a grand chess game, never expecting Long Bo, that dimwit, not only not to be fooled, but to surrender to Chi Zhongshui.
Finished, half of Vallebang will fall into Chi Zhongshui's pocket. In despair, the Xue Family Army fought hard for survival, mobilizing all resources, all firepower output, and going mad with retaliation, fighting back!
The Spring Blood Flow battle, ignited!!!
Peng Zhensheng was also stunned, never expecting his so-called encirclement plan, when colliding with Liu Zhizhong, actually became a real deadly clash, fought to the death!
Never expecting the People's Party to recapture the Wabei District, the People's Army remained unstoppable, with minds armed by ideology proving extraordinary. The people of these two regions also intensely supported the army's liberation efforts, with power and effect that were visible!
All of a sudden, the Xue Family Army was trapped in the vast ocean of people's war, becoming increasingly unsustainable.
The entire battlefield changed every day, seeing Peng Zhensheng's heart surge with warmth. Several times, he wanted to strike, unite with Liu Zhizhong and Long Bo, and co-attack the Xue Family Army's territory. But thoughts of preserving himself made him hesitate, causing quite the agony.
Ultimately, when the Xue Family Army's thirty thousand troops in the Wabei District were reduced by over ten thousand, leading to full surrender, Peng Zhensheng could no longer stay put—he had to strike and seize the territory!
