From a realistic perspective, 30,000 people can form a ring of about 50,000 meters in hand. This 50 kilometers long is enough to surround Duluth. However, from a military perspective, this thin defense is an extremely stupid choice. The enemy can break the two relatively close places and defeat this "defense system" in a mess.

Commander Hu Xingzhi, who has received the education of the Restoration Army military academy system, knew very well that the military academy not only taught the troops the correct way of fighting, but also required everyone to participate in the practice of those stupid tactics. Moreover, practicing stupid tactics is not to be denied blindly, because Wei Ze, the highest commander of the Restoration Army, believes that any battle has room for its performance. Stupidity and not stupidity are always the result of a dynamic comparison. The reality on the battlefield can be summarized in one sentence: "The situation is stronger than people."

On the map in front of Hu Xingzhi's regiment commander, a new front based on the terrain has been gradually completed. Behind this very thin front is the reserve team. As the regiment commander, Hu Xingzhi knows very well how fragile this front is. If the Restoration Army is not facing a far-fledged American but a trained Chinese army, it will take a minute to break the front.

"Captain, the phone number of the Third Battalion." The correspondent shouted.

When Hu Xingzhi heard the phone call from the grassroots level, he felt uncomfortable. Since the war started, no phone calls have brought good news.

"Captain, ask for fire support!"

"Captain, please support from troops!"

"Captain, please send someone to follow the wounded!"

"Captain, how long will it take for us?"

...

Hu Xingzhi is a regiment commander, and he is no longer a battalion commander or company commander. Even if Hu Xingzhi has plans to go to the front line, he cannot personally go to such a long front line to participate in command. What does a grassroots commander do? Isn’t it just to complete the front line combat mission? Was Hu Xingzhi willing to take the initiative to scatter such a stupid large encirclement? This is the order of the military headquarters.

Of course, Hu Xingzhi could also understand the reason for Qi Rui to make such a judgment. The division commander specifically explained the reasons for the battle when he called, and not long ago, the division commander called again and emphasized that reinforcements could not arrive as planned. The 24th Army could only make full use of its combat effectiveness advantages to complete the task of encircling and annihilation of the enemy in Duluth Port alone.

Having participated in the junior class training with Qi Rui, Hu Xingzhi could certainly understand Qi Rui's considerations. Everyone has guns. If these guys are allowed to act at will, the troops must be nervous all the time. The battlefield has already made everyone very nervous. If they are nervous for 24 hours, that person will probably go crazy.

Hu Xingzhi answered the phone and suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said, "Hey! I am Hu Xingzhi!"

"Captain, we are responsible for attacking the port, and the enemy resisted very fiercely. Can you tune out some more cannons?" The anxious voice of the battalion commander of the third battalion came from the microphone.

After hearing the voice of the third battalion commander, Hu Xingzhi remembered that his troops not only shouldered the heavy responsibility of defense, but also assumed the task of offensive. The purpose of the 24th Army's operation was to completely annihilate the Duluth defenders and occupy Duluth City. Judging from previous combat experience, the Restoration Army should be on the offensive and the enemy should be on the defensive front. However, the defending commander of Duluth City should be an experienced hard bone. His decisive attack mode made the Restoration Army, which was trying to completely annihilate, be on the defensive front on most fronts.

Facing the battalion commander of the third battalion who was responsible for the attack, Hu Xingzhi wanted to say that the troops would not have to be so anxious to attack for the time being. With the current situation of the troops, the reserve team should be used to ensure that there is no problem with the defense line. In addition to supporting the artillery, the artillery also conducts night shift on-duty artillery bombardment against the enemy's entry activities. In such a situation, there is no extra firepower to support the offensive troops.

But when the words came to his mouth, Hu Xingzhi held it in his hands again. Attack is the best defense, which is one of the common sense for any officer. The defense forces of the Resurrection Army can use a ridiculously thin line of defense to complete a stupid and completely encircled combat plan. If you want to defend against the frontal attack of the Resurrection Army, the enemy must send at least several times the force, right? If the enemy is beaten and loses confidence, they must draw troops to help, right?

Gritting his teeth, Hu Xingzhi shouted at the microphone: "You continue to attack now, insisting on attacking is victory."

The battalion commander on the opposite side did not expect Hu Xingzhi to give such an order. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Captain, our battalion has limited troops. Now the enemy makes full use of the advantages of familiar terrain to arrange firepower points. Can we wait until dawn to launch a fierce attack? At that time, our snipers will come in handy."

"If you want you to attack, you will attack! We have trained so many night battles. Are the Americans better at this than our troops? You are just a joke! Third Battalion Commander, I order you to continue attacking now. If you have 400 people in one battalion, the enemy will never be your opponent! If you strengthen the offensive, they will definitely not be able to withstand it!" At the end of his speech, Hu Xingzhi was about to roar. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Xingzhi felt much more relaxed. He usually didn't like people who howled loudly. As a child of Hu Cheng and the He family, there were so many senior soldiers in the family. Of course, Hu Xingzhi knew that roaring at his subordinates was not very useful. Even if it was not the inheritance of the family, the military academy taught the soldiers to do this many times. The purpose of roaring was to make the commanders and fighters more focused.

However, Hu Xingzhi couldn't care so much. After shouting, he felt that his mood was actually much better. Moreover, the personnel in the regiment headquarters were also excited to see that Hu Xingzhi was very angry at this time and had obvious restraint in his actions. Such changes made Hu Xingzhi feel much better.

When Hu Xingzhi was sitting in a marching chair to calm his emotions, a thought suddenly popped up. It would have been great if it had not delayed that time! While Qi Rui and Ma Xiaoming and others were fighting on the front line, Hu Xingzhi was ordered to receive equipment. This delay lasted for more than a month. Hu Xingzhi took advantage of this time to get married and deal with his own affairs. His life has entered a new stage, but after such delay, he lost the opportunity to make his first contribution after he arrived at the front line.

As an old classmate of Qi Rui in the military academy, as Qi Rui's old comrade-in-arms when he was in the South China Sea, and as an old brother who participated in the Battle of Ceylon with Qi Rui, Hu Xingzhi didn't think so much even though he knew Qi Rui's background. Along the way, Hu Xingzhi knew that Qi Rui's current position was not passed by his father's status during the assessment. All of this was Qi Rui's recognition step by step by step by step with his ability. Therefore, Hu Xingzhi did not intend to part with Qi Rui's signs.

However, Hu Xingzhi hoped that he would not take on the task of accepting equipment easily at that time. Qi Rui didn't need to say that as the acting chief of staff of the army, he was already the commander of the headquarters. Ma Xiaoming, Qian Daduo, Li Yannian and others who joined the battle in the early days were basically no longer regiment-level cadres. Even a division-level cadre would not have to endure such suffering on the front line. At least the regiment commander would not be able to call the division headquarters when there was any difficulty at all times. At least Hu Xingzhi would never dare to do this.

Just when Hu Xingzhi couldn't help but regret it for many things before, the phone rang again. The communications officer answered the phone, and not long after, he covered the microphone and shouted to Hu Xingzhi: "Captain, the battalion commander of the first battalion, please answer the phone."

Alas..., sighed in his heart, Hu Xingzhi took the microphone.

Alas..., put down the receiver, Xu Suhang, the commander of the Third Battalion, sighed. There was a regiment headquarters inside the regiment. The battalion, which was the front line, only used a piece of stone on the edge of the depression to support a small tent on it, and regarded it as the battalion headquarters.

The battalion commander, battalion political commissar, deputy battalion commander, and three company commanders, all of these six main personnel heard the orders of the regiment commander just under this canvas. There are indeed more than 300 people in one battalion, but the troops will inevitably suffer losses after the battle these days. The attack just now was indeed a bit frustrated. Now there are less than 240 troops that can be put into battle. Under the dark night, at least six or seven hundred enemies as local snakes were exposed. I don’t know how many of them were not exposed.

"Let's stop rushing so hard, just fight steadily a little bit." In the night, the camp political commissar said with a dark face. No one could see the expression on his face, and the camp political commissar did not intend to let everyone see his face.

In the tradition of the Restoration Army, the political commissar has very excellent combat capabilities. Therefore, the political commissar's military speech was not questioned because he mentioned the problems that everyone encountered in the previous battles. The combat capabilities of the Americans on the opposite side were never seen before. These people in the battalion department participated in the Battle of the West Coast of the United States. The Americans they met before were fired fiercely at the Restoration Army. This mentality can understand, whether a war is pouring out firepower to the enemy is indeed important. It is even more important to give yourself courage.

However, the commander on the opposite side seemed to be a veteran. He did not do this, but arranged the machine gun position very much. When the Chinese army entered the range of the machine gun position, it opened fire violently to kill the Chinese army. This was a very normal combat mode. There were also corresponding trainings during the internal training of the Restoration Army, and the troops had special training as the offensive and defensive parties.

However, during exercises and training, the fallen troops can get up by patting the soil on their bodies. However, every time the enemy's firepower spot was discovered in the war, the Restoration Army had to pay the price of injury or death. These lost soldiers could not continue to be engaged in the battle. At least in the short term, they could not be engaged in the battle. Faced with such a problem, everyone in the battalion was in a heavy mood.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, you and the second company commander attack again. Be careful when attacking." Battalion Commander Xu Suhang was the military commander after all, so he gave an order with a stern face.
