Chapter :43 Li Guoyan's Surrender

"Is it Guard Liu?" Jack couldn't believe that this vase-like woman had such means. I knew she was good, but I didn't expect her to be this good.

It's no wonder he thought so. Liu Xin hasn't taken action for so many days and no one knows his true strength.

"And Han Lei and He Qiang." Liu Xin acted calmly, like a master.

Li Fei felt that he was being tricked by her, but she did have the ability.

After getting confirmation, Jack turned the topic back to the battle situation. "In that case, let's add more fuel to the fire and defeat them directly.

Tell the mortar company not to save shells and to fire hard. They can't hold on any longer. "

In the Central Army camp, Zhao Hu learned that Li Guoyan could not return to help. His face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Where on earth did this army come from, and why did they target me?" Zhao Hu really couldn't understand why he didn't even notice that such an army was hiding under his nose.

"Come on, go and make peace with them. As long as they stop attacking, I am willing to leave Songjiang Prefecture and hand this place over to them. Go quickly."

Zhao Hu was anxious. The battle had lasted for more than an hour, and all his helicopters, artillery regiments and tanks were destroyed by the enemy.

Of the 20,000 soldiers, nearly 4,000 were killed in the enemy's artillery bombardment. The rest were frightened out of their wits, but they were no match for the enemy at all. Now there were only 10,000 at most left, and many of them were even lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

This is not a war at all, it is a massacre, and their own soldiers are like lambs to be slaughtered.

Seeing that more than half of his 20,000 men were killed or injured, Zhao Hu no longer dared to think about establishing his own kingdom. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, to go anywhere, the farther the better.

As long as he could leave here, he could swear that he would never set foot in Songjiang Prefecture again in this life, or even in the next.

He wanted to leave, but Liao Tian would not agree. When he heard that Zhao Hu wanted to make peace, Liao Tian refused on the spot.

"If you leave, won't my contribution be reduced by half? I am the head of the 358th Regiment, won't I be outshined by that kid Jack?"

"Inform Wang Chuan that Zhao Hu might try to escape. Tell them to keep an eye on him. If there's a chance, kill him.

Then tell the tank troops and Jin Desheng that they must not let a single enemy soldier escape. "Liao Tian gave two orders in succession. If Zhao Hu escaped in this battle, it would be a huge failure.

On the other side, listening to the sharp whistling and rumbling explosions of mortars coming from afar, Li Guoyan was extremely anxious.

I have been captured for so long, and I don't know how many people I have lost. If I continue fighting like this, I will surely be wiped out in the end.

To be honest, Li Guoyan is really different from Zhao Hu. He is a pure soldier. He has reached his current position step by step by relying on his personal strength and outstanding military qualities, as well as the contributions he made in the local war more than 20 years ago.

Therefore, Li Guoyan likes the army and attaches great importance to comradeship.

Zhao Hu is a person who is good at flattering and scheming. He is keen on making friends in "circles" and finding "backers". He has a strong desire for power.

In his eyes, the army is his tool and bargaining chip, which can be used or discarded.

The reason why Li Guoyan obeyed Zhao Hu's command was that he was driven by the instinct of soldiers to obey orders and subordinates to obey superiors.

At this moment, knowing that his subordinates were falling one after another and he was powerless to do anything, Li Guoyan was extremely anxious.

Looking at the battle front in the distance, and then at Chen Bo beside him, Li Guoyan gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Chen, please ask Commander Li to cease fire."

"Well, ah? What did you say?" Chen Bo couldn't believe it. Weren't you very tough just now?

"I am willing to submit to Commander Li and obey his orders. I only hope he can let my subordinates go." Li Guoyan lowered his head, his tone very firm.

"Look, what have you done? You just made Commander Li angry and left, and now you want me to beg for mercy." Chen Bo looked reluctant, but he was not slow at all and hurried to find Li Fei.

If Li Fei heard what Chen Bo said, he would definitely cry out that he was innocent. I am not angry, I just don't know what to say.

Li Fei was very happy to hear that Li Guoyan was willing to surrender.

There will be casualties in war. Although Li Fei's team is powerful, they are still flesh and blood after all, and they have suffered more than a thousand casualties.

Although they were recruited by the system, Li Fei couldn't treat them as tools after all.

The tank unit also suffered heavy losses, with four tanks completely destroyed and 18 others damaged to varying degrees.

With Li Guoyan's help, things became much simpler. With just a shout to the opposite side, the Central Army, which had been on the brink of collapse, immediately threw away their weapons. When they saw guns thrown in front of them, they quickly kicked them away for fear of causing misunderstanding.

As for whether the person who spoke was Commander Li, it must be him.

What remained was to collect the prisoners, count the casualties and consumption, and clean up the battlefield, all of which were left to Jack.

"Correspondent, ask Liao Tian what's going on." Li Fei was a little worried.

Originally, Liao Tian was arranged to go there just to contain Zhao Hu and prevent him from continuing to send troops into the urban area. Unexpectedly, he turned the harassment war into an annihilation war.

At this time, Liao Tian had survived the most difficult moment. All of Zhao Hu's heavy equipment was destroyed by him. Now the first battalion, with the cooperation of tanks, was clearing out the remaining enemies.

"Report to the commander, Wang Chuan and his men have killed the enemy chief Zhao Hu." The communicator reported to Liao Tian.

"Great, the battle is almost over."

"Captain, the division commander called to inquire about the battle situation."

"Well, reply to the division commander immediately. Our unit has killed Zhao Hu and is currently clearing out the remaining enemies." Liao Tian was a little proud. We killed Zhao Hu, the commander of the Central Army. Let's see how you, Jack, will respond. Hahahaha.

"Commander, the division commander wants to talk to you." The communicator ran to Liao Tian with a walkie-talkie on his back.

"Master, I am Liao Tian."

"How many enemy troops are there on your side? What are your casualties?"

"Reporting to the division commander, our casualties are close to three hundred, and the enemy still has at least six thousand more." The battle was not over yet, and Liao Tian did not know the specific situation.

"Since Zhao Hu is dead, then surrender."

It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that the situation on both battlefields was finally counted.

466 mercenaries were killed in the battle, including Leo, the captain of the second company of the first battalion, who was the highest-ranking officer sacrificed. 582 people were slightly injured and 213 people were seriously injured.

Of Li Guoyan's 20,000 troops, only more than 4,000 were left, and nearly 16,000 were killed in the battle, with a casualty ratio of 1:34. Upon learning this number, Li Guoyan was ashamed to death. Most of the remaining 4,000 people were injured, and those who deserted were all killed by the tanks that blocked the area.

Such a victory was truly brilliant, and it really shocked Chen Bo, Zhou Zhenguo and Li Guoyan.

The 358th Regiment suffered 136 deaths in the battle, most of whom were killed by Zhao Hu's armed helicopters, including a platoon leader of the second company and a deputy platoon leader of the third company. 112 people were slightly injured and 84 were seriously injured.

More than 6,000 prisoners were captured, and the casualty ratio was close to 1:100, although the howitzers and tank units played a leading role. But they also killed Zhao Hu, destroyed the helicopter formation, artillery regiment and tanks, and seized a large amount of supplies. Such results are far better than those of the mercenary group.

Li Fei ordered all units to take good care of the prisoners, collect the bodies of the fallen officers and soldiers, and send the seriously wounded back to the barracks.

Li Fei felt very upset when he saw the wounded and corpses being taken away in carts. In this battle, six hundred people were killed and one thousand were injured, which was a heavy loss.

Li Fei was very worried when he thought that Liao Tian only had about a thousand people left but had to guard more than 6,000 prisoners, and that there were tens of thousands of survivors taken in by Zhao Hu nearby.

"Dispatch the 2nd Battalion of the 358th Regiment to support Liao Tian." Li Fei made the decision quickly.
