Volume 1: The Growth of the King of Soldiers Chapter 54: The Trap
Zhang Zhijun certainly knows that as a qualified army commander, emotions must not be controlled above reason.
Since ancient times, it has been an iron law in the army that Ci is not in charge, so when he faced the doubts of everyone present, he only had a wry smile on his face.
"Pass the order down, and withdraw those two companies. As for Tie Kang and Guo Jun, they can only hope that they can break through on their own. ”
Just now, he said impassionedly that he would not give up and not give up, but now he is doing another set in the blink of an eye. Zhang Zhijun always felt great irony in his heart in the face of such a fact. Perhaps the most inexplicable thing at this time was the little combat staff officer who had just been scolded......
On the other side, under the heights, Yang Buxing and Zhou Bo gathered together and Guo Jun also participated. Now they are taking advantage of this time to work out the next plan of action.
Guo Jun, in particular, almost dropped his jaw when he learned that there was only one more platoon of people who came to the rescue, and what surprised him even more was that it was even more difficult for him to accept that such a careful plan was actually only a 18-year-old cook.
If nothing else, because he can analyze the intentions of the brigade headquarters so thoroughly, and can make such a big move even when the company commander is killed. Now it turns out that the Blues should have taken the bait and their bait has worked.
"Comrade Don't be hungry, since this plan was suggested by you from the beginning, then what do you want us to do next?"
Guo Jun didn't look down on Yang Buxing because he was a recruit, on the contrary, he was now eager to hear what constructive opinions this rookie who was nearly half the year younger than himself would have next.
Yang Buxing didn't know why this Dalian governor came up to listen to his opinions, he was just a small soldier. He looked at Zhou Bo's encouraging eyes on the side, so he had to clear his throat hard, and said without humility or arrogance:
"By now we should have played a good role as a decoy, and I believe that it will not be long before we will be surrounded and hunted down.
The Blues who had just retreated were embarrassed, but in fact the losses were not large. The reason why we were able to bluff them was that in addition to the suppression of the fire on the high ground above, it was true that they did not bring a vehicle in order to conceal it.
So I'm sure the Blues will catch up again, and this time they're really in the chariot. Not to mention how many other Blues units will be attracted.
So we basically don't have a second option now but to run away. ”
"Runaway? What about our mission? Isn't this disobedience? Besides, what about the machinery and equipment behind the road that is impassable?"
Zhou Bo asked these questions in a row, and of course Guo Jun also wanted to know. He was carrying a whole company of engineers, not only armed bulldozers or something, but also a few boat and bridge erection vehicles with him, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught up.
Since we are decoys, it means that this path is not the choice of our army at all. If it weren't for the interruption of communication now, maybe the brigade commander would have let us break through by now. ”
As soon as Yang Buxing's words fell, the communication soldier of the engineer company handed an order to Guo Jun. After Guo Jun finished reading it, he looked at Yang Bu in front of him again, and the expression on his face was like seeing a ghost.
"What's the situation?"
"The command and communication vehicle of your reconnaissance company has been knocked out, but our engineer company has none. Although this area is subject to strong electromagnetic interference by the Blues, we are not vegetarian in electronic countermeasures.
We have just received an order from the brigade headquarters to break through to Area 3 at all costs, and if necessary, we can abandon our equipment and break out alone. ”
The order in Guo Jun's hand just confirmed the correctness of Yang Buxing's guess at the beginning. The big stone in Zhou Bo's heart, who was still a little worried, was not able to let go until this moment.
"Then what are you waiting for?
Zhou Bo's mentality was much better at this time. Armed cross-country breakthroughs in these mountains and forests are commonplace for reconnaissance companies. As long as you get into the woods, it is not a problem to evacuate on foot.
"We can't just walk away, don't forget that the second and third rows don't know the news yet. So we should go back and inform them, or rather, rescue them.
What's more, I think it's always empty to put so many resources and not use them to dig a hole for the upcoming Blues.
You say this sapper will only build bridges and roads, or we ...... like this."
Yao Bing and the others were all a few meters away, and the conversation of Zhou Bo and the three of them could be heard. Not only Yao Bing, but even Zhang Xiaofan always felt that Yang Buxing at this time made them feel very unfamiliar, watching him easily arrange every trap at this time, together with Commander Guo Da and the platoon commander were listening to his arrangement, such a picture made them feel very unreal.
When did this begin? It seems that since the beginning of the exercise, Yang Buxing seems to have changed as a person, as if this battlefield has been integrated with him, and he has been very excited and confident from the beginning. At least that's what Yao Bing thinks, maybe this is the so-called talent for war.
The second company of the Blue Army had retreated to the intended location by this time. This is where they store their heavy equipment, about 30 kilometers from Heights 3. After a short repair, all the people boarded the car and drove straight to No. 3 Heights again.
In Zhang Haiying's view, it is a race against time now, and he now regrets why he placed these equipment so far away in the first place. Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too cautious, and I was always afraid of being detected by the other party's drone, but now it's good, and I don't know how much time I have to waste back and forth.
He thought that at this time, the Red Army engineer battalion must be racing against time to widen the mountain road and cut down the trees on the side of the road. Those two companies may have been ambushed at some point, waiting for them to pounce.
Therefore, although it is a direct driving destination, it also has to be checked by the drone, and this speed does not dare to let go. In his heart, as long as he delayed the movement of the opponent's engineer battalion, the Blues were the only force in this vicinity, so he was cautious again invisibly.
It is precisely for this reason that Yang Bu will be left with enough time......
"Here and here, dig a bigger hole. What are you doing over there? Do you sprinkle floating soil like this? You know you don't have a childhood!"
It is hard to imagine that the entire engineering company in this huge area of the mountain road was actually ordered by a few recruits. And squatting aside, Guo Jun watched all this, but his face couldn't help twitching.
"These boys are too ruthless! I'm afraid there will be casualties like this, but then this maintenance company will be scolding his mother. ”
Guo Jun muttered in his heart, although he said so, but thinking of the miserable death of the group of guys in the Blue Army not long after, this is also quite happy.
According to the original plan, Guo Jun's engineer company was to widen the mountain road so that the subsequent armored troops could pass through.
Now it is also widened, but when the trees were cut down on the side of the road, many sparse stumps of 80 cm were left, and the rest ranged from 40 cm to 60 cm.
The only passage was two large pits dug by an excavator. That's enough to give way to the chariot and plunge headlong into it. It is supported by a cut tree trunk, covered with leaves, and sprinkled with floating soil and snow.
The designer of this pit is Yang Bu Hungry. Don't look at it as just a child's thing, it's very particular when laying tree trunks on it.
A chariot is allowed to pass through the trail, so a thicker trunk is used on top of the first pit. In order not to collapse when it is crushed for the first time, and the second pit is different, ensuring that it will collapse as soon as it is crushed. However, the first pit could not withstand the second crush, so it was possible to pit two vehicles at the same time.
If there is anything else that this engineer battalion has to do in addition to digging holes, it is, of course, laying mines.
There were not only two pits with mines, but many mines were planted around those stumps. In order to fool the Blues, Yang Buxing also removed a wheel from the infantry chariot and rolled out of the trap.
This may seem like a lot of work, but it doesn't take much time with the strong infrastructure capacity of the engineer battalion.
Digging traps and laying mines are just a small means for Yang Buxing to disgust the Blues. And the escape route Guo Jun has already planned.
On the river behind Heights 3, a pontoon bridge has already been erected. From here, it is the shortest route to meet the second and third rows ahead.
Because of this pontoon bridge, Zhou Bo's platoon was able to drive the infantry back without having to make a long detour. In the next support battle, the odds of winning with these 3 infantry will be much higher.
After all the mines were laid and everything was ready, the engineer battalion, together with all the comrades of the reconnaissance company, crossed the creek by pontoon. And the careful Yang Buxing teamed up with Yao Bing to bury and erase the traces behind.
The pontoon bridge was put away, and everyone withdrew from the No. 3 heights, except for Yang Buxing, Yao Bing, Zhang Xiaofan, Dai Gang, and Wang Jianjun.
In order for the plan to succeed, several of them still need to complete one of the most important tasks, which is to lure the enemy, which is also required by Yang Buxing himself!
At this time, it had been 3 hours since the commander of the Blue Army, Hou Guangjun, gave the order. And Zhang Haiying also just turned over the mountain pass at this time and saw the dense forest in front of him.
Judging from the reconnaissance of the UAV, the Red Army is no longer visible on the entire No. 3 heights. Zhang Haiying was not worried, because judging from the traces, the Red Army's engineer battalion was advancing according to the predetermined route, and the large forces had already begun to surround as early as three hours earlier.
He concluded that although Heights 3 looked calm now, the two companies must be hiding somewhere. The Red Army would never allow problems to arise at this critical juncture.
Therefore, Zhang Haiying planned to get rid of the blockade of these two companies as quickly as possible, and make every effort to catch up with the engineer battalion that was operating and advancing in the front.
"Report, no enemy ...... found in the jungle ahead"
"Report, no enemy ...... found on 3 heights"
The successive reports made Zhang Haiying, who had always been cautious, confused, and the intelligence from the front reconnaissance clearly showed that there were no two companies of the Red Army in this area.
He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Red Army's gourd, and why the two good companies disappeared without warning.
At this time, a sudden thought flashed through his heart, which immediately made his whole back chill and his hairs stand on end......
