875, departure
In the evening, the camp of the 3rd Tinder Division was quiet, and everyone had already had dinner in the afternoon, and the meal was temporarily changed, which was a precursor to preparing for a surprise attack.
At the head of the city, the artillery unit was already in position, and this time an infantry brigade would advance into the northern woods, and what the artillery unit had to do was to take cover when this infantry brigade was ready to retreat.
The Tinder troops did not choose to set off at night, because there were searchlights at the head of the city, and when all the searchlights were turned on at night, all their troops would be exposed to the view of the barbarians.
But if you deliberately turn off the searchlight, it will also attract the attention of the barbarian, after all, you turn on the searchlight on time every day, and if you don't turn it on today, everyone knows that you have a ghost.
So the best thing to do is to march directly in the evening and quickly cross the area illuminated by the searchlights.
They calculated that although it was already spring, it would be dark in the north by about five o'clock in the afternoon, and they still had 38 minutes to traverse the terrain.
Ren Xiaosu also wondered, since there is an artillery unit, why not directly carry out saturation bombing, didn't the tinder also carry out plough-type artillery attacks before, why can't it be now, you must know that this forest is still within the range of artillery fire, and it is only a few kilometers away.
However, P5092 explained to him that the forest in the north covered an area of nearly 10,000 acres, and even if the materials were not destroyed, it was impossible for them to carry out a saturation attack on a forest, and it was more cost-effective to exchange human lives for precision strikes.
Ren Xiaosu has to admit that this is the commander's thinking, weapons and people are just chess pieces on the chessboard, what they care about is winning, which chess piece they need to exchange for this victory is more cost-effective, that is what they have to consider.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, after he really brought P5092 to the northwest in the future, he had to tell him well, and the people of the northwest were not afraid of sacrifice, but it would be better if they didn't sacrifice.
In Ren Xiaosu's eyes, he always felt that as long as people were still there, everything was still possible.
Of course, this is also the reason why he cannot be a military commander.
For P5092, now that supplies are in short supply, it is even more necessary to be careful when using ammunition, and at noon today, Ren Xiaosu found that the food ration in the field hospital has been reduced to half of what it used to be, and many people complained that they were not full.
It can also be seen from the side that there is indeed a problem with the supply of materials for Tinder, and the destruction of materials for the rear advance base has a very significant impact on Tinder.
At this point, the sun finally set into the distant horizon, and the light quickly dimmed.
The gate under the Great Wall was slowly lifted through a gap more than half a man high, and the infantry brigade of the 3rd Division quickly passed through the gate.
Ren Xiaosu joined up with an independent reconnaissance company, he put on a combat uniform and tactical vest of Tinder, and then carefully checked night vision devices, automatic firearms, pistols, etc.
It has to be said that this Tinder reconnaissance company is equipped with very luxurious equipment, and an automatic rifle is equipped with two sights, one is optical aiming and the other is holographic aiming.
This reconnaissance company is equivalent to a special force within the Third Division, and generally performs difficult tasks such as rescue, infiltration, and beheading.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the other "comrades-in-arms", and found that these people even brought 40 mm underhung single-shot grenade launchers, and each platoon had six people who could carry out heavy fire support.
Just as Ren Xiaosu was looking at them, the elite of the reconnaissance company was also looking at Ren Xiaosu, they had long known that Ren Xiaosu was a friend of the P5092 chief, but they didn't expect that this young man would also participate in this battle.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu has never shown his combat ability, and the task given to them by the operational staff this time is not a surprise attack, nor a beheading or infiltration, but to protect this young man.
As for the rest, just follow this young man, and Ren Xiaosu will become their temporary commander.
The company commander of the reconnaissance company hesitated for a long time but couldn't help but explain: "After entering the battlefield, you stay in the middle of the team, and don't do anything superfluous, so as to protect your safety." ”
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, and the other party said more politely, he nodded: "Don't worry, I know that your task is to protect me, but I don't need to protect me." ”
The commander of the reconnaissance company said in his heart, you don't need protection? It's really blowing, but they have seen this kind of person before, and their self-confidence is bursting before they go to the battlefield, and they don't even know where to go after they go to the battlefield.
The reconnaissance company is experienced in such a combat sequence, they naturally have their arrogance, on the battlefield, they have always been the most trusted comrades of others, if a real full-scale war breaks out, all soldiers will hope to have such an elite force by their side to fight together.
So they know the battlefield very well, and they have dealt with barbarians, and the commander of the reconnaissance company knows very well that even if the transcendents face the siege of those barbarians with extremely strong physical fitness, there will be no good end.
He asked again, "Then can I ask the sir, our mission is to protect you, so what is your mission?"
"Oh, my mission?" Ren Xiaosu frowned and pondered: "I don't know what my specific mission is, let's improvise." ”
The commander of the reconnaissance company suddenly didn't know what to say, why didn't he even have a target?
What are these people going to the battlefield for?
Ren Xiaosu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Take it easy, it'll be fine, you just follow me to cover the fire, by the way, what is your number." ”
"T40219," replied the commander of the reconnaissance company, and he sighed in his heart, I am afraid that there will be trouble when entering the battlefield this time.
Ren Xiaosu asked again: "T4, that's good, what level are the other soldiers?"
"It's all T3," T40219 replied.
Ren Xiaosu nodded, all of them are T3, the overall physical fitness of this reconnaissance company is good, it seems to be the top soldier in the third division, he said to T40219: "Since they are all T3, then you all follow closely when I speed up later, don't fall behind." ”
T40219 is about to laugh out loud, how can the reconnaissance company be left behind?
However, Ren Xiaosu didn't say anything else, but directly drilled out of the gate with the reconnaissance company, the gate slowly fell behind them, and T40219 said coldly in the communication channel: "Each team checks the communication channel." ”
"Roger. ”
"Roger. ”
"Roger. ”
As they quickly passed through the area illuminated by the searchlight, T40219 said, "Bullets, turn on the helmet camera." ”
In this way, their combat footage will be transmitted back to the command in real time, and the bullet will be the code name of a team member.
The heavy twilight and night were changing, Ren Xiaosu glanced back at the reconnaissance battalion behind him, he didn't expect the other party to call each other by a code name, he thought that the other party called each other by number.
At a moment, Ren Xiaosu wondered, would these soldiers of Tinder yearn for themselves to have a real name, not just a number?
