Catastrophe

The rout of the First Army came very suddenly, and as the dams upstream burst, the floodwaters poured into the canyon at a ferocious speed.

The word ruthlessness of water and fire was fully reflected at this moment.

The surging waves from the upstream hit, the water in the canyon soared, and the land was submerged almost instantly. No matter how many of these soldiers could swim, the force of the waves alone knocked out most of them. In the tide, even those who can swim can hardly escape.

The Fifth Division, which was breaking through the siege, and the First Division, who were going to support them, were engulfed by the flood without making any response. The cries for help came one after another, and a dense layer of corpses floated on the water.

On the hillside, Wu Hao saw the valley filled with river water, and looked at Hu Yihan in shock: "Brother Han, the situation here seems to have exceeded our expectations! The situation is smoother than expected!"

"This is just the beginning! They still have a large number of troops outside, so don't take it lightly!" Hu Yihan got up and walked to the south as he spoke: "According to Professor Yan, the terrain here is low in the south and high in the north, and the dammed lake bursts its banks. In the future, the river will follow the mountain pass all the way to the canyon and spread to the grassland outside, and the only way for them to retreat is to climb the mountain! Let all the troops move to the south, and prepare for a blocking war!"

...

The rushing speed of the river is much faster than the speed of human movement.

The two divisions in charge of garrisoned outside the canyon saw a large mass of corpses pushed by the tide before they received the news from the front.

The flood rushed out of the canyon, because the terrain became open, and the previous fierce momentum was no longer there, but it still caused great panic to the main force of the First Army.

The troops that were originally camped quickly became confused, and began to lose their helmets and armor and ran to higher ground.

At this time, the left-behind troops of the First Army plus the defeated soldiers who escaped from the canyon, and there are more than 10,000 people. If a head-to-head confrontation is adopted, the Starlight Armed Forces are still not their opponents. example.

The sign of the collapse of the First Army mainly came from the collapse of the command system.

Being able to evacuate thousands or tens of thousands of people in an orderly manner is a high-level technical activity.

Since the Jinqinhuan area is a radio dead zone, the units at all levels of the First Army all use the means of communication soldiers to transmit messages. Although the communication between the superior and the subordinate is slow, it is also in an orderly state. As a result, all the troops were in disarray, and the news could not be passed on. The soldiers began to use individuals as a unit to avoid the flood and began to move towards the higher ground.

In this case, the army without the command system has become a lamb to be slaughtered. No matter how many people there are, after losing its cohesion, it is all bullshit.

In terms of military command, the most difficult thing for a large army to fight is not how to rush up, but how to withdraw in an orderly manner. The reason is very simple. When they retreat after a defeat, everyone panics. If there is no mutual cooperation Cover, orderly let the troops retreat one by one, it is easy to evolve into a big rout.

At this moment, in the evacuated team of the guards, gunshots sounded one after another. Hundreds of people in the guard battalion surrounded the chief of staff and several senior officers, struggling to maintain order, and there were very few surrounding troops who could still receive it. Order, maintain order.

The water on the ground is getting deeper and deeper, and the green prairie has now become like a lake. Large areas of land have been submerged, and the troops of the army are torn apart and scattered on the surrounding undulating highlands.

Many soldiers who could not reach the high point had to soak in the water, and the hillside to the north became their only hope, and thousands of people began to wade there.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

On the originally quiet hillside on the north side, the sound of gunfire was loud, all kinds of firearms spit flames, and the soldiers close to the hillside fell in pieces, blood mixed with the muddy yellow flood, exuding a strong **** smell.

"Crash!"

A large fish lurking underwater was attracted by the blood and rushed out of the water, biting off half of a soldier's body with just one bite.

On the other side, a soldier saw a group of slap-sized fish swimming towards the crowd, swallowed a corpse in just a few seconds, and shot frantically into the water: "Piranha! There are piranhas here!"

"Don't worry about the water! First suppress the shooting on the mountain! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave!"

"I pressure your mother!"

"retreat!"

"Don't withdraw! Build a defense line for me!"

"The water is too deep! It's over the neck, and if we don't leave, everyone will die here!"

"Grumbling!"

"...!"

The chief of staff stood on a high hill, looking at the troops in the distance that had become a mess of porridge, his clenched fists had embedded his fingernails with flesh and blood: "It can't go on like this, our troops have been scattered, and we must regroup. , confront them head-to-head!"

The second division commander on one side also had a sad face: "Chief of Staff, our troops are now completely messed up! All the battle sequences are scattered, and even orders cannot be issued. It is too difficult to organize a counterattack."

"The enemy has the upper hand now because they used the flood to interfere with us, but their combat effectiveness has not improved, as long as we can stabilize the front! There is still a chance to organize a counterattack!" The chief of staff picked up the binoculars and observed the surrounding situation. ~www.readwn.com~ reached out and pointed to the east side: "The only place that is not submerged by water is the east side. We can gather our troops to break through to the east side and regroup and organize a counterattack!"

The commander of the second division looked over there and found that the terrain on the east side is indeed relatively high, and there is also a high land on the west side. The water in the middle has formed a river more than 20 meters wide, and nodded: "Our The emergency troop has inflatable boats! Orderman, send a retreat signal and let the main force evacuate to the east!"

"and many more!"

The chief of staff stretched out his hand to stop the second division commander's orderly, waved his hand and said, "The troops are now in a disordered state, and our carrying capacity is seriously insufficient. Once all the large troops flood in, the situation will be even more chaotic, those big-headed soldiers. After crossing the river, if no one organizes discipline, they have to keep running! Let the guard battalion occupy the high ground on the east side first, and all officers above the deputy battalion level will cross the river first and go to the other side of the river to meet up! After the follow-up troops cross the river, Officers are responsible for assembling troops and restoring order!"

The second division commander nodded and said in a low voice, "Chief of staff, can you give priority to the people from the second division and the first regiment to cross the river. The officers of this regiment are all our township party members, and they are also your direct descendants."

The chief of staff waved his hand: "Yes! Prepare!"
