    Gao Yang successfully recruited a platoon leader, which was a good start. As long as he contacted a higher-level officer through this platoon leader, such as a company commander, the next thing would be much easier.  .

    The platoon leader led the way, going around here and there, and found the company commander he was looking for in a house that had no roof and had been bombed into ruins.

    His right arm was hanging, his head was wrapped with a bandage, he was holding a pistol in his left hand and holding a cigarette in his mouth. He was sitting behind a broken wall with two people around him. When he saw the platoon leader who brought Gao Yang and the others over, he said loudly: "  Why did you abandon your position and come here? Who are they?"

    The platoon leader immediately said: "Company commander, this is Lieutenant Colonel Ram, the commander sent by the headquarters. He is looking for you."

    The company commander looked to be in his thirties and looked haggard. After hearing the words of his platoon leader, he stood up against the wall, spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and said loudly: "Lieutenant Colonel, what's the matter?"

    This company commander looked like a man who had been a soldier, and he seemed to have a bit of a soldier's cunning attitude. He looked at Gao Yang with no respect at all, but with a look of disdain.

    After asking Gao Yang casually, Gao Yang said with an easy-going look: "Nearly all the middle and low-level officers in the direction of Halzisk are dead. You may be the only company commander left. I was sent to command the operations here.  , I have to find you to find out the situation, how many people do you have?"

    Gao Yang¡¯s words were all nonsense. He didn¡¯t know how many officers were left and how many company commanders survived. To put it bluntly, they were just bluffing.

    The company commander loudly said: "There were originally one hundred and sixty-three people, and most of them were new recruits who had never touched a gun. Now, there are about seventy people left, but most of them are veterans.  Almost all the new recruits were killed or injured.¡±

    This casualty rate was so shocking that Gao Yang couldn't help but shook his head, and then said loudly: "What was the order you received before?"

    "Stand your position, never take a step back until you receive the order to retreat, and never let an enemy enter the city! We have been fighting since last night, and we are still holding our position, Lieutenant Colonel."

    Gao Yang shook his head, and then said loudly: "Which front are you responsible for?"

    The company commander glanced left and right and said loudly: "It's not very clear. It was messed up a long time ago, but it's about two hundred meters to the left and right here. That's about it."

    Gao Yang's location is on the eastern edge of Halzisk, and a few hundred meters further is the highway. It is the forefront of the battle and the core area where the two sides compete for each other. It is normal to be continuously bombarded by the enemy, and it is also normal to suffer heavy casualties.  normal.

    Gao Yang waved his hand and said with a serious face: "We can't fight like this. If we continue fighting like this, everyone will die! Now the order has changed. If the enemy's offensive is too fierce, shrink appropriately and retreat appropriately. Don't fight head-on with the enemy.  Let the enemy in, wait for the enemy's personnel and equipment to be divided by the terrain, and then engage in street fighting, focusing on killing and injuring the enemy's effective forces, regardless of the gains and losses of the position."

    The company commander's eyes lit up and he said loudly: "What is the appropriate range? Sir."

    Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "It's up to you. The specific order is to concentrate your power and only attack small groups of enemies that you think you are sure to capture. How to do it and to what extent it is done is all up to you. If you can't counterattack, you can't defend."  , even if you withdraw from the city and end the battle, it doesn¡¯t matter. If you can persist until now and still survive with so many people, especially if you can survive, I believe in your ability."

    The company commander twisted his head, and then said loudly with a look of relief: "We should have beaten you like this! What's the use of filling up the human lives here in vain? After the people die, the city will be lost, sir! Just wait and see,  I will retreat, but I will never let those bastards finally take over this city!"

    Gao Yang smiled, patted the company commander on the shoulder, and then smiled: "I believe you can do it, otherwise I wouldn't have given this order."

    People lose their land and gain both people and land.  Gao Yang has always believed in this principle. Therefore, he has to change his strategy and turn the previously stubborn position into mobile warfare. Put the enemy into the urban area and fight with them in street battles. In other words, with the 72nd Brigade,  A heavily mechanized armored brigade fights urban guerrilla warfare.

    This reason is actually very simple. The biggest advantage of the 72nd Brigade is that they have tanks and armored vehicles, as well as a small amount of air support. However, the militiamen seriously lack armor, so they put the 72nd Brigade into the urban area and let their  The armored units were rendered ineffective, leaving the infantry without the cover of their armor.

    The most important thing is to make the air cover of the 72nd Brigade useless, because when there is only one street, only one house, or even the same house, the power of the air strike will naturally be reduced.Significantly weakened, unless they are not afraid of hurting their own people.

    To put it bluntly, Gao Yang was determined to repeat the brutal street fighting like the Battle of Stalingrad in Halzisk. He was not from the regular army, and he didn¡¯t know how to fight an urban offensive and defensive battle. In this case, he might as well  Just divide a big battle into countless small battles.

    Street fighting is destined to be unable to be commanded uniformly and carry out large-scale operations. It is destined to be divided into small units to fight. There are no exceptions. Compared with the official army, the militia is more important to Halzisk.  The terrain is more familiar, which is a huge advantage for street fighting.

    Just yesterday, just this morning, the Zhengfu army refused to enter the city of Halzisk because they were originally afraid of street fighting, but now the situation is different. A battle turned into a meat grinder, with casualties on both sides.  Countless times, the 72nd Brigade will definitely attack the city whenever there is a chance. Why?  Because this is human nature.

    Of course, once the fighting turns into street fighting, the people of Halzisk will be unlucky. Fighting on the edge of the city will become a battlefield with the entire city. Damn it if the result is the same.

    But Gao Yang had no choice. He didn't have the upper hand in numbers, and his weapons and equipment were at an absolute disadvantage. What could he do if he didn't maximize his geographical advantage?

    As for the people who were involved in the war, Gao Yang could only say sorry.

    But Gao Yang won¡¯t feel guilty, why, because this is war.

    As for the company commander, he welcomed Gao Yang's order extremely. The reason was of course very simple. It was because the order he originally received was to defend until death in battle, but now, Gao Yang not only gave him what he could do as a company commander.  Everything gave him hope of victory, but it was not so important that Gao Yang freed him from the shackles of having to fight to death, because if he had not put life and death aside, he would have run away long ago, how could he have persisted until now.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
