Chapter 876: Blocking Artillery Regiment
The arrangement of forces between the red and blue sides looks like two triangles that intersect on both sides.
As both sides move, the area of the triangle keeps decreasing. At the same time, Lei Peng took the initiative to seek battle with the Jibu Battalion and two other troops, so that one of the vertices of the two triangles began to approach more and more.
If there is no accident, based on the speed of their respective maneuvers on paper, Lei Peng's team will collide head-on with the second machine infantry regiment of the first division in half an hour.
The remnants of the two wings of the Red flanks will arrive later, while the other infantry and artillery battalions of the Blues will arrive in the area of engagement. Finally, there were the armored units of the Blue Brigade and the artillery units of the 1st Red Division.
Once caught in such a situation, although the chances of victory are very high for the Blue Army, it is bound to pay a considerable price.
This is something that Shen Yun cannot tolerate.
But the Blues are not the only ones on the field.
In other words, some units that can only be used as logistical support on the conventional battlefield can also change roles at this time, becoming the key to turning the tide of the war.
After passing through Licorice Pier, the artillery and antiaircraft artillery regiments of the 1st Division began to move closer to each other according to the information communicated with the 2nd Infantry Regiment and guided according to the satellite system.
However, what the generals did not expect, including the command department, did not expect was that less than twenty minutes after the two regiments began to maneuver, they had to stop their march and immediately start fighting due to some unexpected circumstances.
The cool spring breeze was blowing in the face, and on this extremely tense day of the battle, there was a very good weather, which had to be said to be the best convenience for the anti-aircraft artillery and artillery regiments of the 1st Division. There was no precipitation, there was little mud along the way, and the speed of maneuvering was like a fast horse.
In the blue sky and white clouds, the scenery that should complement each other well, but the scouts of the two regiments suddenly found that some small black dots were in mid-air, approaching their side at an alarming speed.
"What the hell?"
An experienced veteran scout squad leader exclaimed in surprise, quickly raised his telescope and began to capture the location of those small black dots.
When the field of view with magnification of more than ten times was fixed on the small black dot, the squad leader felt a toothache.
"What the hell are these dogs in the Blues up to?"
What his eyes saw was one Kong Ming lantern after another—five yuan a piece on the market—often bought by those young couples to write down their vows and fly in the warm night breeze of a midsummer night.
However, at this time, a large number of people appeared above their heads, as long as people in their right minds knew that there must be something wrong here.
Taking out the walkie-talkie, the reconnaissance squad leader did not hesitate to report the anomaly to the large army in the rear:
"Report, there are a large number of Kong Ming lanterns floating in the wind in front of them, about 100 meters above the ground."
Sophisticated scouts don't easily add their own judgment to their reports, and only describe what happened to them in the most concise words.
The soldiers below didn't understand what the situation was, but when they heard the report, Colonel An Zhonglei, the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment of the first division, had a sinking face:
"Such ghost ideas have come up with them, and the combat ghost really lives up to its reputation. This is coming at us, Commander Luo, inform the subordinates to make preparations for the three defenses, this group of bastards in the Blue Army Brigade is going to make a crooked move against us. ”
In the communication channel, the commander of the artillery regiment Luo heard Colonel An Zhonglei's somewhat serious voice, and after the urgent notice, he asked curiously:
"Lao An, what's going on?"
"The Blues have weather soldiers, and they should have made this up. Meteorological operations are not a mode that we are particularly familiar with, and we need to pay special attention to them. In addition, it may not matter to you artillerymen, but to our anti-aircraft artillery regiment, these Kong Ming lanterns will seriously interfere with our capture and shooting of air targets. ”
"According to the information provided to us above, the Blue Army Brigade also has a drone unit that has been trained with a lot of money. I'm sure we're going to have to deal with them next. ”
Commander Luo thought that Colonel An Zhonglei was taking precautions, but he didn't want this to be a prophecy.
When the scout reported the situation of Kong Minglan in less than five minutes, the enemy situation report again made Commander Luo throw himself to the ground for Colonel An Zhonglei's admiration.
"Report, there are a large number of drones in the sky directly ahead, moving to the rear, please be careful."
Numerous in number, UAVs.
Commander Luo, who opened his mouth wide, reacted this time after listening to Colonel An Zhonglei giving the combat order to the antiaircraft artillery regiment.
However, their artillery is not destined to pose much threat to flying objects, and the only thing they can do at the moment is to protect themselves and watch the anti-aircraft artillery regiment attack these annoying flies from the air.
Seventy kilometers away, in a hollow, two teams of the Blue Brigade were keeping a close eye on the screens of several laptops.
"Staff Officer Lu, you need another batch of support, and it is expected that you will fly to this area in ten minutes. Otherwise, according to the previous plan, the drone and the Kong Ming lantern will be misaligned, and your cover mission will fail. ”
The person who spoke wore the rank of non-commissioned officer, but he wore headphones, held something like a gamepad in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the screen, and his mouth was very relaxed.
The man known as Lu Counselor pushed the glasses on the tip of his nose, and his voice was full of confidence.
"Don't worry, it's up to me. The brigade commander said that professional things should be done by professional people. The cooperation between the two of us is, in the final analysis, the assessment of their respective professional skills. I don't want to eat at the brigade commander. ”
Although he said this, the Lu staff officer did not stop the movements in his hands, as if he had already made up his mind, nodded at the few soldiers behind him, and then pointed his finger on his own computer for a while:
"The next wind direction has been favorable to us, and the wind speed is stronger than before, let the people at the sixth point put the lights, according to the calculation, this batch just arrived when the previous batch fell, and it was no problem to cover the drone."
It does take a bit of skill to fly the Kong Ming lantern, but in the eyes of this group, when it becomes a weapon used in warfare, it becomes something that can be easily controlled.
At the same time, remotely controlled drones in this depression pose a great threat to the artillery and anti-aircraft artillery regiments of the 1st Division.
Before the anti-aircraft artillery targeting system locked on to these drones, I saw that these small things, which were many smaller than fighter jets, actually began to throw some unidentified objects.
Although it is not certain whether this is an act used by the Blue Army Brigade to consume their own ammunition, Colonel An Zhonglei does not dare to take it lightly:
"Aim, shoot, shoot down and see what it is."
An operation entirely of anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes was officially launched, but the result made Colonel An Zhonglei deeply feel the shamelessness of the Blue Army Brigade.
These unidentified objects thrown by drones are impressively smoke generating devices. Those who were hit by the anti-aircraft cannon sent out a lot of dust in mid-air. However, there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, and as soon as they land, a large amount of milky white smoke quickly emitted, accompanied by bursts of foul smell, instantly enveloping the surrounding area.
If it weren't for the fact that the two regiments had already made preparations for the three defenses, they were afraid that if they were not choked to death by the smoke at this time, they would also be smoked to death by this smell almost like Xiang.
