Chapter 245: On the eve of the war

PS: Thank you Xuanyuan Sword Spirit Immortal for the reward.

Just as the Thunder Mercenary Regiment was advancing towards the small mountain range where the Xingtian China Combined Forces were located, on this side of the small mountain range, the traps carefully prepared by the combined forces, the ten hidden trenches distributed in front of the mountain range, had been dug.

After the selected lurkers took food, drinking water, and weapons and equipment into the hidden trenches, and the top engineers who dug the trenches completed the external cover work one by one, Chen Tianyi, who had been busy for an hour, was finally liberated.

When the last intercepted real-time satellite image of the GPS global positioning system was ordered to be modified by artificial intelligence No. 1 and transmitted to the US imperialists, Chen Tianyi, whose eyes were as red as rabbits, could no longer bear the stinging warning from his eyes, closed his eyes and began to rest.

I don't know how long it took, maybe five minutes, maybe ten minutes, but Chen Tianyi, whose eyes were a little less stinging, opened his eyes again.

After opening his eyes, Chen Tianyi got up and left from the military laptop, got out of the armored command vehicle to find Zhou Qing. On the way, Chen Tianyi, who didn't want to waste time, grabbed a member of the Xingtian mercenary group who was passing by and asked where Zhou Qing was next week.

After asking where Zhou Qing was, Chen Tianyi walked over there. and successfully found Zhou Qing in front of a trench that was being dug while eating canned battlefield food while directing the members of the joint force to arrange the defensive line.

Walking over and picking up a battlefield can and pulling the lid open, Chen Tianyi asked Zhou Qing while eating the pasta that became hot in an instant, filling his hungry solitude, "Zhou Qing, how is the defense line arranged." ”

Zhou Qing, who was seriously commanding, only then did he realize that Chen Tianyi was coming, and hurriedly swallowed the contents of his mouth and said, "Lord of Masks." It's almost there, except for the hidden trenches for ambushes and the trenches used to defend against long-range artillery strikes, they have also been dug seventy-seven eighty-eight. ”

"Well, hurry up, I just took the time to take a look at it with GPS. The Thunder side seems to have received the information, and is coming here in full gear, and it will be there in four or five hours at most. Also, take care to let the fighters take turns eating and resting. Hearing Zhou Qing's report, Chen Tianyi nodded to show that he understood, thought about it and instructed.

"Got it, Lord of Kamen." Regarding Chen Tianyi's instructions, Zhou Qing will naturally follow.

After checking the situation on Zhou Qing's side, Chen Tianyi took a few cans of battlefield food and a bottle of mineral water. Go and inspect other places.

This inspection lasted more than an hour, and after Chen Tianyi had decided on all the preparations for the implementation of his tactical plan, which had been assigned by the commanders of the Xingtian China Joint Force, he went back to rest in the armored command vehicle in front of him.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning on November 28, 2007, Cape Town time, the Thunder Mercenary Regiment arrived 10 kilometers away from the small mountain range where the Xingtian China United Force was located after a three-hour march.

After receiving the news of the drone reconnaissance in front, the originally peaceful camp instantly boiled, and the people who were resting up and down the unit climbed up. Grab the weapons and equipment placed next to him and prepare to meet the enemy, including Chen Tianyi, who slept in the armored command vehicle for less than three hours.

Chen Tianyi, who was awakened by Zhou Qing. He patted his head vigorously to expel the groggy feeling from his brain, and then looked at the senior commanders of the joint forces who had gathered in the armored command vehicle and said, "Go ahead, fight well according to the tactical plan formulated." ”

"Yes, Lord of the Masks (Lieutenant Colonel Chen Tianyi)." The senior commanders of the joint forces stood up and gave a military salute to Chen Tianyi and shouted loudly.

Then. Except for Zhou Qing, who has the highest status under Chen Tianyi as a joint force, and the swarthy middle-aged man, who need to stay in the armored command vehicle to sit in the central government and preside over the overall situation, everyone else has left the armored command vehicle to get busy.

Looking at the back of everyone leaving, I looked at the real-time satellite data provided by the No. 1 artificial intelligence. The electronic sand table that constantly updates the images, and the projection cloth that shows the movements of the Thunder Mercenary Group on the side, Chen Tianyi thought for a while and said: "How to fight this battle next, you can see and do it yourself, I can't help if I stay here, it's better to go to the front line to help." ”

After speaking, Chen Tianyi got up and walked out of the armored command vehicle with a large box containing weapons and equipment and at least 100 catties, and walked towards the front-line position in front. Behind him, the swarthy middle-aged man who stretched out his hand and opened his mouth to stop him was stopped by Zhou Qing.

The swarthy middle-aged man who was grabbed by Zhou Qing's shoulder, saw that Chen Tianyi was walking away, so he pretended to overhead and complained to Zhou Qing: "Zhou Qing, what are you doing, do you know how dangerous the front-line position is, if something happens to Lieutenant Colonel Chen Tianyi, how can you let me explain to China." ”

Hearing the complaint of the swarthy middle-aged man, Zhou Qing waved his hand indifferently and said: "Don't worry, Lord of Kamen is the strongest person in our joint force, I estimate that it is about the same strength as those monsters of the Shadow Company, although the front-line position is very dangerous, but it can't kill Lord of Kamen." To put it mildly, with the scale of today's war, we and the people on the Thunder side have all been wiped out, and I'm afraid that the Lord of Kamen will not have any problems. ”

"Really? Although there are people in China who say that Lieutenant Colonel Chen Tianyi has good strength and does not need to protect him, they didn't tell me that he can compare to those monsters in the Shadow Company. After listening to Zhou Qing's explanation, the swarthy middle-aged man was still a little skeptical.

"What did I lie to you, it didn't do me any good, okay, come over and help." Facing the suspicion of the swarthy middle-aged man, Zhou Qing waved his hand a little impatiently.

Seeing this, the swarthy middle-aged man had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, walked to the electronic sand table and the projection cloth, and assisted Zhou Qing in analyzing and issuing corresponding instructions through the thunder information given by the two.

Chen Tianyi, who stepped out of the armored command car, naturally didn't know that after he left, Zhou Qing and the swarthy middle-aged man in the armored command car had a dispute. At this time, he had just found a few off-road vehicles to park at random, forming a fence obstacle, and opened the large box brought from Pretoria in the middle of the fence, and took out a combat uniform from it to change into.

After changing into combat uniforms, Chen Tianyi put the pistols, bullets, and grenades in the box into places such as tactical belts. Then, he took out the small box with the largest area from the box, and then took out the Barrett sniper rifle parts from the small box, and it took him some time to assemble the Barrett sniper rifle before carrying the finished Barrett, walking out of the fence formed by the off-road vehicle and running briskly towards the front-line position.

When Chen Tianyi ran to the front-line position, he found the senior commander of the joint force in charge of the front-line position, asked about the current situation, and the instructions issued by Zhou Qing.

This senior commander is an old man of the Xingtian Mercenary Regiment, and he also participated in the battle in London to annihilate the Hell Knights, so he was not the slightest surprised by Chen Tianyi, who was fully armed and ran to the front-line position, and directly talked about the current situation: "The people on the Thunder side stopped five kilometers away, and it is estimated that they should be reconnoitring the situation on our side, and a few snipers have already shot down seven or eight unmanned reconnaissance planes, so the head ordered the armed helicopter to dispatch to attack and harass the Thunder side......"

Before the senior commander finished speaking, three helicopter gunships, which had been fully refueled after maintenance, set off a huge wind and wave and rushed towards the thunderous position visible to the naked eye five kilometers away.

Seeing this, Chen Tianyi nodded at him and said, "I know, you can continue, just when I don't exist, I will find the fighter by myself." ”

"Yes, Lord of Kamen." In this regard, this senior commander also has no opinion.

After communicating with the senior commanders of the front-line positions, Chen Tianyi took Barrett on his back and found a trench to lie down, ignoring the surprised soldiers in the trench. Well, there are also "sharpshooters" who are not as surprised as the senior commander, who participated in the annihilation battle of the Knights of Hell in London and cannot use a sniper rifle, Eagle Gu Ying.

"Eagles." Chen Tianyi, who found Gu Ying, greeted him with a smile.

"Old, Lord of the Masks." Seeing that Chen Tianyi still remembered himself, Gu Ying said a little flattered, and almost said what London was called at that time in a fit of excitement.

"Do a good job, last time I heard that you killed thirteen people, this time the effort has been increased to twenty." casually encouraged Gu Ying, Chen Tianyi set up Barrett, and looked into the distance through the scope with full attention, ready to kill the enemy who entered the firing range at any time, leaving Gu Ying with an excited face, and the members of the joint force who came to Gu Ying's side to ask questions.

On the other side, at an altitude of 1,000 meters, the three armed helicopters of the joint forces launched attacks on the Thunder side in three directions, and the three Apache helicopter gunships on the Thunder side were not to be outdone and launched counterattacks one after another.

To be honest, although the number of armed helicopters on both sides is the same, but the difference in strength is very large, the Thunder side is a real armed helicopter, or the armed helicopter comprehensive ranking No. 1 Apache, although the model is a little older is a generation of mass production AH-64A, but it is still not to be underestimated.

On the other hand, on the side of the joint forces, the three armed helicopters are all modified from the Z-8, which is weaker than the real armed helicopters, and there is no numerical advantage, so it can be said that it is very difficult to fight.

If it weren't for the fact that the coalition forces had sent elite fighters to occupy the commanding heights of the small mountain range behind them, and fired one or two rockets at the Apache on the Thunder side from time to time, deterring them and hindering their movements, the three helicopter gunships of the coalition forces would have been defeated long ago.

Even so, the battle situation in the air is still not optimistic, and the helicopter gunships of the joint forces are completely walking a tightrope, fighting guerrilla attacks with the thundering Apache in an area of about 10 kilometers in length and width in the small mountain range, the open space in front of the mountain range, and the open space behind the thunder camp. Relying on the sixteen-character policy of Taizu that the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue, the battle situation is maintained.
