Chapter 670 Noam (Please Subscribe! Please Ask For Flowers! Please Collect!)
Zuo Qingyun's sudden change forced Schneider to wake up from his thinking, and he could only constantly mobilize troops to defend and strengthen the counterattack. For a while, the two sides were evenly matched. But in the eyes of most people, which side is forced to counterattack and defend, it shows that this side is not far from failure. If Schneider wants to reverse the situation in front of him, he must deploy more troops to complete the counterattack. But Schneider endured it all the time, he kept telling himself that he must see the true purpose of the Yanhuang people.
However, Zuo Qingyun gave him too little time. As one or two outposts were captured, some local defense lines were even torn apart. Schneider had no way to calm himself and his subordinates, so he was forced to increase his troops and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Saint Laurent Island is located on the White Sea, south of the White Strait, and is often called the "South Gate" of the White Strait. This is a volcanic island belonging to Yingjiang, about 150 kilometers long and 55 to 60 kilometers wide. It is about one hundred and eighty-nine kilometers "030" away from the Xihua Peninsula in Alaska.
Because of the high latitude, it is sparsely populated. Before the Yanhuang army arrived on the Kamchat Peninsula, there were only a small number of Inuit people on the island, that is, Eskimos, who lived along the coast of St. Laurent Island and lived on fishing and hunting. The army temporarily built several coastal defense facilities here, and added a battalion of troops for defense. After the Yanhuang army captured the Chuke Peninsula, Yingjiang had already built several semi-permanent fortresses on the island, and the strength of the army had also increased to one regiment.
Both Yingjiang and the Yanhuang people know that if they want to seize the initiative in the White Strait, they must seize St. Lauren Island. Otherwise, Yanhuang would take advantage of the Ice Age to cross the White Strait and enter Alaska. When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, all kinds of logistical supplies will inevitably be seriously threatened. Moreover, Saint Laurent Island is too close to the Chukchi Peninsula, and a sneak attack can be launched at any time.
St. Lawrence Island is the key point that Schneider is most worried about. He knows that if he continues to follow the footsteps of Yanhuang's offensive, the final result will inevitably be not optimistic. But the Yanhuang people's style of play is too targeted, so that they have no choice but to follow even though they know the danger. The most important thing is that Commander Yanhuang has mastered the psychology of most Yingjiang officers, leaving them no time to think about other places. If you try to make arrangements without communication, failure may occur at any time. Those so-called feints may turn into a real sharp sword at any time, directly breaking the shield in his hand and piercing his weak chest. But no matter how bad the situation was, he did not deploy Ying Jiang stationed on St. Lauren Island to support him, and even sent an additional company of troops to prevent the Yanhuang people from forcibly seizing the island.
Schneider didn't know, and his judgment on this issue seemed too confident. St. Lawrence Island is the southern gate of the White Strait. It is also the key to control the White Strait, but it is not Zuo Qingyun's goal at the moment. The capture of St. Laurent was planned, but Zuo Qingyun put it last. Because Zuo Qingyun knew very well that Ying Jiang's defense against Saint Laurent Island must be tight.
Zuo Qingyun watched Yingjiang's defense line in Alaska change little by little. The defense line at this moment is completely different from before. There are loopholes and weak points everywhere. As long as he pokes lightly, he can easily tear it apart. break. He wasn't worried that this might be the ecstasy array set up by Ying Jiang, even if that was the case, he still had enough strength to tear it apart.
"It's time to act! If the other party reacts, everything we have done before will be in vain!" Liang Guang couldn't hold back.
"The reminder is that it is time to act!" Zuo Qingyun supported Liang Guang's opinion. Although he said nothing about the command of the campaign, Liang Guang has been performing his duties as the chief of staff, and what Zuo Qingyun saw was also true. For the sake of internal unity, although the commander transferred Liang Guang to be his partner, it does not mean that Zuo Qingyun can do whatever he wants.
Liang Guang didn't expect it to be like this, and he couldn't react for a while. The two parties have been cooperating for several months, and I have been opposed countless times, and I am already used to that state. Although Zuo Qingyun was proved to be correct every time, but being reprimanded by a junior, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
"Wait no longer?" Liang Guang said with some uncertainty, "Or do you have anything to add?"
"No?" Zuo Qingyun pretended to be innocent, looked at Liang Guang with a smile, and said, "I was a little distracted before. If you hadn't reminded me, the fighter plane would have been delayed! Of course, the environment is harsh, but we have no choice, tell the soldiers Guys, if you persevere to the end, you will win. This is a contest between iron and fire, a struggle between the will of the enemy and ourselves. Although these armies in the central theater have not experienced real war, I believe that they can pass this test. A perfect answer."
As Zuo Qingyun said, he ordered the troops to act immediately. What everyone didn't expect was that the target of the attack was not Saint Laurent Island, nor Wales, but Nome!
Noam can be said to be the most critical part of Yingjiang's entire defense line. The staff pointed out during the pre-war analysis that this may be the logistics supply base for Yingjiang's front line, so the defense must be tight. At the same time, it can also be proved from the previous harassment that the firepower attached to Yingjiang in this area is quite strong. If there is no heavy weapon, it may be difficult to take this city.
Liang Guang was also intimidated by the location marked by Zuo Qingyun, with various disbeliefs on his face, but when he thought of Zuo Qingyun's character, he took this arrangement for granted. He didn't refute Zuo Qingyun's plan, because he clearly saw that there were harassment wars going on on both sides of Nome... This seemingly coincidental thing was actually Zuo Qingyun's painstaking efforts And manufactured.
What Liang Guang thought was right, this was the key to the whole process. Zuo Qingyun made so much harassment before, and then made so many targeted oppressive attacks, it was just a little bit of mobilizing Yingjiang's troops stationed in Nome. Transferring is not a problem, the problem is not being noticed by the other party has other purposes, and even makes the other party think it is reasonable. The continuous harassment and changes in tactics have made Yingjiang subconsciously believe that at least at this moment, the Yanhuang people have no soldiers to use.
Even Schneider didn't think of this, he still believed that the Yanhuang people's primary attack target was Saint Laurent Island. Although he has noticed that Nome's defensive strength has dropped to the lowest point in the recent period, he is not worried that the Yanhuang people will attack Nome. Because fighting was taking place on both sides, even if the Yanhuang people made a sneak attack, the troops they could mobilize were extremely limited. If the Yanhuang people dare to withdraw all the frontal forces, then they can also take advantage of the situation to reinforce Noam. Therefore, there is no problem in the overall defense.
Like all the previous cities, if it weren't for the war, the small town of Nome might not be known to many people. In order to defend Noam, Eagle Sauce took great pains. First, taking advantage of the weather and geographical advantages, an ice city wall about seven meters high was built around Nome to completely surround the town. It doesn't take much time to build such a thing in this kind of place. You only need to use mechanical tools to pile up the surrounding snow and various sundries, and then fill it with water. The outside of the ice city wall was trimmed very smooth to prevent the Yanhuang special forces from infiltrating. Moreover, the hardness of ice cubes filled with various 4.8 debris will be doubled, and light weapons cannot leave any traces on the wall at all. What's even more perverted is that after the completion of the city wall, Ying Jiang did not stop building it, but continued to heighten and reinforce it, as if planning to build an ice fortress.
This is the real reason why Schneider is not worried. If Noam can build it according to his imagination, it will be fatal to the Yanhuang army, and they will not be able to complete the battle plan to occupy Alaska in winter. And when the ice and snow melt, although this fortress will slowly disappear, Yingjiang's powerful fleet and air power will also arrive, and Yanhuang will be defeated by that time.
In fact, it was precisely for this reason that Zuo Qingyun had to regard Noam as the first target of attack. He didn't want to wait until Nome was fully built, and he could only look at it with admiration. Another point is that if Nome can be successfully taken down, it will force Yingjiang's defense to retreat, or even collapse. It can be said that there is nothing to lose in this battle for both sides. .
