"Command center, our 1st Corps has encountered the enemy's artillery coverage, and then was ambushed by the enemy, resulting in over eight thousand casualties."
"Command center, our ammunition depot has been hit by artillery bombardment, the entire depot has exploded!"
"Command center, the tank battalion sent to support Pingchuan Valley was ambushed and completely annihilated!"
"Our airfield was destroyed by the enemy, thirty-six planes were bombed, and the runway was damaged!"
As the 14th Army began to launch a counterattack, a series of urgent messages immediately reached the command center at the rear.
The highest commander stationed at the rear was instantly enraged upon seeing these messages of defeat.
More than half of the 14th Army's forces had been wiped out by them!
Now, the opponent, with less than half their strength, managed to carry out such a devastating counterattack against them.
With the opponent's attacks like this, the outcome of this battle seems to be unpredictable now.
Considering the situation, the only reliable force now seems to be Guo Tianzhi in Pingchuan Valley.
"Commander, how about we retreat? Although the opponent has no stronghold in Pingchuan Valley, we're in the same situation!"
The adjutant next to him thought for a while, feeling that if they continued to delay, their side might be in danger.
The best option would be to retreat.
"No, as long as we break through Pingchuan Valley, we can directly enter the opponent's rear base! Retreating now would waste all the effort we've put in!"
"Moreover, Guo Tianzhi's mechanized units are still intact. If they launch a counterattack, it would be easier to fight!"
The commander immediately gritted his teeth and refused, "Go, tell Guo Tianzhi, no matter what, he must seize Pingchuan Valley!"
The commander clenched his teeth at this moment.
At this point, they could only hope that the opponent could complete the task of capturing it.
As long as Pingchuan Valley is broken through, the previous losses would be worth it.
Upon hearing this, the adjutant sighed.
For some reason, he already had a premonition that this mission might not be completed.
If the tank battalion were still around, capturing Pingchuan Valley with the tanks wouldn't be a big problem.
But now without the tank battalion, the artillery battalion is gone, and the planes are gone too.
Additionally, the nearest ammunition depot has been blown up.
The pressure on firepower is gone, and now there's pressure on supplies. He could already foresee Guo Tianzhi's difficulties on the front line.
.....
"What's going on, why was the tank battalion discovered? How was the ammunition depot discovered?"
In Pingchuan Valley, Guo Tianzhi looked at the battle report sent to him, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood as he looked at the various figures on it.
He couldn't understand why the tank battalion's route of action was known to the opponent.
It's important to know that after Hanshui Bridge was blown, the entire tank battalion took a long detour then prepared to come here for support.
This route, theoretically, should never have been discovered.
But it was discovered and then completely wiped out.
Next was the ammunition depot.
This was their main source of supplies!
This ammunition transit station stored all the supplies they needed for the upcoming battles.
Now it was blown up, meaning they'd have to transport ammunition from the rear for resupply in the future.
The transportation time for this would take a long time!
Fortunately, the ammunition they had on hand could last a few days.
Now Guo Tianzhi was endlessly frustrated, with the battle report also mentioning the airfield incident.
He felt as if his rear deployment had been thoroughly exposed by the opponent.
Could it be that there is a spy from the opponent in my ranks?
Guo Tianzhi's thoughts wandered, and he couldn't help but look at the people around him.
So many critical points had been taken down, he had no choice but to suspect that there was an issue with someone around him.
Otherwise, how could the artillery battalion, which was just ordered yesterday for support, be destroyed so quickly?
Even if the opponent had scouts, it would be impossible to discover all three of his artillery battalions at once, right?
It's worth noting that even 14th Army's artillery battalion, with their extremely conspicuous firing trajectory and easily calculated ballistics when they fired, had only been discovered one before.
And their artillery was relatively concealed.
In such a situation, how did the opponent manage to simultaneously discover all three of his artillery battalions?
Aside from an insider, he couldn't think of any other reason.
His cards had been laid bare, causing him to lose some confidence in winning this war.
Guo Tianzhi took a few deep breaths, calming himself, and then looked at the orders issued by the commander.
Now the other side had pinned all their hopes on him, satisfying any of his requests.
Seeing this, Guo Tianzhi reluctantly said, "With our ammunition consumption, it's estimated that it will run out in about three days. Have logistics immediately transport ammunition up."
"And make sure they maintain confidentiality and vigilance!"
The artillery consumption is too high every day, and they couldn't avoid capturing Pingchuan Valley.
In other places in Pingchuan Valley, there are scattered troops, but these forces don't pose any significant threat anymore.
If they didn't quickly capture Pingchuan Valley, he feared that the 14th Army would encircle him.
If indeed surrounded here, it'd be a dead end.
Just as he was worried in his heart, distant sharp explosions suddenly rang out, followed by numerous shells exploding around them.
"Take cover!"
The guard next to him quickly pulled Guo Tianzhi towards the air-raid shelter.
Guo Tianzhi looked at the continuously exploding craters around, his expression grim.
Originally, he was the one constantly bombing the 14th Army. Now, tables had turned, and his side was the one getting bombed!
Guo Tianzhi's heart was full of anger, but he was helpless at the moment and could only take cover nearby.
.....
"Commander, all tasks have been completed successfully!"
In the command post, Zhou Yingting received the news from the front line at the earliest possible moment.
However, these messages were still a bit slower for Zhou Yingting.
Zhou Yingting had already seen on his small map the scene of these red dots being eliminated.
"Alright, next up is the tough nut of Pingchuan Valley. As long as we annihilate the main force here, the task is considered complete."
Zhou Yingting's gaze fell on Guo Tianzhi's soldiers.
Compared to other places, the red dots in Pingchuan Valley are much larger and more densely packed.
As for other places, they have already become scattered, posing no significant threat.
"Can we proceed to encircle Guo Tianzhi next?"
The adjutant beside him pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth to ask.
At this moment, he did not dare to express any opinions.
Because Zhou Yingting's command has achieved great victories several times.
"No rush, we should deplete them first. Guo Tianzhi's strength is still prominent, truly encircling him might cause issues."
Zhou Yingting looked at the map in front of him and then shook his head saying.
He thought it was better to let the Wanshi Group hold their ground and deplete the opponent first, as the Wanshi Group's defense capabilities are formidable.
Once the opponent is heavily depleted, it would be much easier and simpler to take them down at once.
"First tidy up the opponent's scattered troops."
These troops were fleeing everywhere at the moment, yet in front of Zhou Yingting, they were completely transparent, with nowhere to escape.
After two days passed, the scattered soldiers outside were mostly dealt with.
Seeing this, Zhou Yingting gathered all the forces and deployed them on the routes the opponent might escape.
This way, even if the opponent wanted to escape, they would have nowhere to go.
At this time, the ammunition supply needed by Guo Tianzhi was also heading towards here in truckloads.
But midway, with a few artillery rounds covering it, these supplies were blasted into the sky.
When Guo Tianzhi learned of this news, his complexion was already dark, and a strong sense of unease arose in his heart.
....
"Move out, let's besiege the enemy's main force! Once we besiege the enemy's main force, we will win this battle!"
A voice spread throughout the crowd, and then the warriors beside immediately took up their equipment to prepare for a shift.
Upon hearing this, Bai Siwei was momentarily stunned.
"What did you say, we're going to besiege the enemy's main force? Can we really do this?"
"Aren't we supposed to defend our positions?"
Bai Siwei looked at these people in front of her, bewildered, with a hint of concern on her face.
"What's there to defend? The opponent now only has their main force left! The new commander is so impressive, he has destroyed the opponent's three artillery battalions, and our artillery battalion cooperated with the assault company to directly eliminate ten thousand elite enemy troops."
"Then they destroyed the opponent's tank battalion, blasted the opponent's ammunition depot, and demolished the opponent's airfield."
"Afterwards, all of the opponent's overseas battalions were cleaned up by us. Now only the main force remains, and we've heard that the opponent's main force is also struggling, with ammunition supplies unable to be delivered!"
The squad leader beside showed an expression of excitement, while packing his things, urged Bai Siwei and the others to hurry.
If they don't hurry, they won't catch up with the large-scale counterattack.
Upon hearing this, Bai Siwei was stunned.
She was too aware of the strength disparity between their forces and the enemy earlier. With such a strength gap, how could they achieve a counterattack?
It's simply impossible, isn't it?
How were those elite units, tank battalions, ammunition depots, artillery battalions, and airfields destroyed?
Listening to all these, she felt somewhat bewildered.
Could this person possibly be a born commander? Or does the commander have some bonus, enabling him to easily win this showdown?
However, the previous commander entry by Zhou Yingting seemed to have no such explanation.
"Are you sure this was commanded by the commander?"
Bai Siwei contemplated before couldn't help but verify once more.
She wanted to make sure if this was true.
"Of course, not him, then who else could it be? It's a pity that our unit hasn't been involved in recent tasks, really regrettable."
"This time's battle command, the commander can be said to be too divine! The other brother units fought comfortably!"
The squad leader beside showed a face of regret, thinking about how he didn't participate in this battle task.
"Alright, pack your stuff quickly, we need to block the opponent's main force's retreat, don't let them escape."
The squad leader finished speaking, gestured them to quickly pack equipment and prepare to shift.
Listening to this, Bai Siwei stood absentmindedly on the spot.
At this moment, she was somewhat numbed.
"Are we going to win?"
The player who came along had been listening the whole time at the side just earlier.
Seeing the squad leader approaching, immediately stepped forward to inquire.
His expression carried several slivers of hope.
If they do win, wouldn't they be able to claim the one million?!
Upon hearing this, Bai Siwei waved her hand with irritation, "We still don't know, we'll need to reach there to know the specifics."
At this moment, Zhou Yingting's words echoed repeatedly in her mind.
Watch carefully, learn well!
If the information wasn't wrong, they indeed turned the tide of battle.
Possibly, they could even win this battle.
But how exactly did the other side accomplish it?
Bai Siwei was puzzled, with such a significant disparity in strength, how did Zhou Yingting reverse the situation?
