Chapter 068: A Plan to Harass the Enemy
It is no wonder that the coalition forces made a mistake in judgment, except for an infantry division stationed in the town of Daweng, the other two were armored divisions, or armored divisions with the same configuration as the American Army.
The tanks and armored vehicles that go out for training every day start to move, and you can feel the shaking of the ground from afar. The captives scattered in the valley, even the deaf, knew that a huge armored cluster was stationed in the town of the Great Urn.
Without discussing any results, the officers of the Yi Fei Legion had no choice but to continue training the soldiers according to the instructions of the Yi Fei Legion Commander, and the earliest opening time for the envelopes in their hands was also three days later.
And the guerrillas in the forest, having already known their tasks and having taught the coalition forces a profound lesson, got out of the way and let the coalition forces pass.
Then wait for the opportunity to attack the baggage team and search team of the coalition forces, and the place and time of the ambush of each team have been arranged.
Yi Fei's plan even includes the arrangement of firepower points and the arrangement of personnel. The time of the ambush was also precisely defined.
The task of these regiments is actually to harass, there are too many forests in this world, it is easy to hide, and guerrilla warfare is more effective in this environment.
The American Army and the British Army that came out of Mixian were originally two armored armies, but because they had no combat vehicles, they were temporarily turned into infantry.
Accustomed to mechanized marching, the sudden change to a two-foot rush made these pampered white soldiers miserable.
The troops in charge of the baggage were even more unbearable, and the hands that used to carry the joystick and steering wheel were used to drive the mules and horses. It's a bit of a struggle. If it weren't for the fact that they really needed the help of these animals, they would have just wanted to kill these disobedient animals and eat meat.
After forty miles, the army was ready to set up camp. But the donkey cart with the tent was still at the back of the line.
When the army settled down, it was already midnight, and the two army commanders were sleeping in Mixian City, when they received a report from the forward troops that the camp had been attacked, and the scale was not small. At least an attack on the scale of a regiment or above.
The Dugi army itself sent it to the door, which was a good thing, and the two corps commanders immediately ordered to return fire. And let his subordinates send troops to outflank, and be sure to leave the enemy who dares to sneak attack.
Who knows, the counterattacking troops fought decently for a long time before they found out. The enemy has long since slipped away. Troops sent out to outflank. But they were ambushed, and the reinforcements sent out again did not even see the shadow of the enemy, so they could only stay and clean up the battlefield.
The two division commanders who were fighting the forward were checking the place where the troops were ambushed, and in the other direction, they were attacked again, and the enemy's fire was equally fierce. Before the artillery could turn its guns, the attack stopped.
The two division commanders discussed. Simply send troops and set up an ambush near the camp. The result was even worse, as the enemy seemed to know their plan in advance, and as soon as the ambush troops entered the position, they were blown up.
After the explosion, a large group of Dugi troops rushed out of the darkness and beat the panicked ambush soldiers.
Finally stabilized their position, the enemy disappeared again, and the coalition soldiers, who were not angry at the enemy's sneak attack, were attacked by miniature mines.
This miniature mine is the bullet mine of the modern world. Such mines are simple to make, easy to set up, and easy to camouflage. A bamboo tube, an iron nail plus a small wooden board and a piece of bamboo are all the materials.
The bamboo tube is fixed to the board, the iron nail penetrates the board, and penetrates the bottom of the bamboo tube, as a firing pin, the bullet is loaded into the bamboo tube, and the mine is completed.
When you dig it out of the ground with a dagger, it becomes a thunder pit. Put the prepared bullet mine into the mine pit, fill it around, put a bamboo chip on it, press the bullet, and with a little camouflage, the mine will be buried.
When the mine is stepped on, the bamboo piece is deformed, and the bullet is pressed down, and the iron nail penetrates the bullet primer, and the bullet is fired.
A bullet from the ground pierced the sole of his foot, and a soldier was useless. Gunners in the dark, taking care of these soldiers who have been shot through the soles of their feet and are sitting on the ground wailing.
The black light blinds, according to the sound, cannot aim accurately, and a single shot kills them, but it can create more wounds for them, and their wailing can greatly damage the morale of the enemy.
The wailing pursuers all over the ground directly made the coalition soldiers who came to support not dare to move. You can only lie on the ground and fire at your imaginary enemy.
One night, it was just ping-pong. By daybreak, the gunfire had not stopped, but only the soldiers of the coalition forces were firing. The Dugi army, which was secretly attacking, quietly withdrew as early as two hours ago.
In one night, in the vicinity of his camp, he lost five or six hundred men, and more than two thousand wounded, and on average, the two divisions of the Allied vanguard lost 10 percent of their strength in one night.
The same thing happened to the other two coalition forces for one night, and the coalition command received the battle report, and one by one was speechless.
In just one night, still near the forward base, more than 5,000 were lost, which was a third of the strength of the division!
There were not many dead soldiers, only more than 1,000 soldiers, but nearly 5,000 wounded soldiers became a burden to the troops.
Coupled with being harassed for a night, none of the forward troops were in good spirits, so they could only be stationed on the spot. In this way, only a day after the order to attack was issued, the three-way army stopped.
In the mountains, which were more than ten miles away from the enemy, the six regiments responsible for the sneak attack were resting, and the soldiers were happily comparing, wounding a few of them and killing a few.
The officers admired Yi Fei's tactics and threw themselves to the ground, and after fighting for one night, they did not lose a few soldiers.
Yi Fei's tactics make full use of the night, the forest, and weapons to pinch the time with extraordinary precision.
If it weren't for the previous brilliant achievements, several regiment commanders would have willingly fought according to Yi Fei's arrangement, and the enemy's artillery counterattack would have caused at least hundreds of casualties.
Touching the envelope in their arms, several regiment commanders were very sure that the next time they opened the envelope, it would definitely be another light-hearted ambush battle.
It's a pity that there are only five envelopes that get the most tasks, and I don't know if I will send a few more envelopes after completing Yi Fei's mission.
Several regiment commanders, who had nothing to do for the time being, arranged their soldiers on their own initiative, and laid a large number of bullet mines on the route of the coalition army's advance.
The bullet mine is small, easy to set up, wear the wooden board and bamboo tube in advance, and when burying the mine, you only need to insert the dagger into the ground, turn and pick, and a thunder pit is good.
A soldier, once skilled, can lay out a bullet mine in a minute, including camouflage.
During the day that the coalition forces stayed in place, the road ahead of them was densely covered with tens of thousands of bullet mines. (To be continued......)
