At 3:35 a.m., the tank regiment began to move.

According to the battle marching sequence, the Tiger Company led by Zhao Rongjun and equipped with twelve Asian Tiger tanks was at the forefront, and the accompanying action was an infantry platoon sent by the Hurricane Infantry Company commanded by Niu Er, and Niu Er personally commanded this platoon to cooperate with the Tiger Company. So, the tank regiment used five Type 531 tracked armored carriers as carriers for this infantry platoon.

As a result, the unified command of Zhao Rongjun's troops reached 17 vehicles and more than 40 infantry.

Li Lu climbed onto the roof of the LC70 and stood on the edge of the machine gun seat and stared south. The Tiger Company had already set off, galloping south from the railway station, which served as a forward base, and after going out for three kilometers, it entered the jungle road, then turned southeast and marched quickly along kilometer three, with the rest of the company following according to the time node.

Judging from the map, this marching route is very similar to the tactical action of the dagger split, and from the perspective of the entire battlefield situation, this tactical action of the tank regiment will achieve one purpose - to cut off the enemy's escape route to the southeast, and at the same time block the reinforcement intention of the enemy's troops in the southeast region.

The purpose of seizing the 338 heights is to cut off the enemy's rear route and block the enemy's reinforcements.

The current 338 Heights are inconspicuous, there are too many mountains and heights in the war zone, and the elevation of the 338 Heights will also be marked on the maps of the warring sides, which can be seen on the sand table. However, it doesn't matter.

The change will come after the battle starts.

After the rest of the troops have completed the established tactical maneuvers, the importance of the 338 heights will be highlighted. Whether from the point of view of cutting off the enemy's rear route or renting the enemy's reinforcements, the 338 Heights are particularly important for both sides.

By taking control of this area, our army will not only be able to achieve the above two operational objectives, but will also be of great help in encircling and annihilating the enemy's main force as soon as possible.

And if the enemy forces take control there, the combat intentions of the superiors will be frustrated, or at least barely completed.

Li Lu knew that our army would achieve a big victory in this battle, and after this battle, there would be no large-scale battles in the area from then on, which accelerated the process of the entire war.

What he was concerned about now was that the infantry mixed vanguard composed of the Tiger Company and the Tempest Company would be able to successfully take the X Pass at the lowest cost, and the main force would be able to plunge all the way to Heights 338 and take that crucial high ground before the enemy could react.

The battlefield research team was the last to set off, and they even followed behind the health team's truck, and by this time, it was already 4:15 a.m.

Li Lu personally drove the escort LC70 in front, with Zhao Xu in the co-pilot, and a scout sent by Wade and the Hurricane Company in his car. Zhang Weiwei drove the second car, Liu Xiangyang, Niu Jun, and Rachel were all in that car, and there was a scout who was responsible for controlling the on-board weapons.

The two scouts selected by Niu Er were the most experienced in the Tempest Company. And Li Lu put Wade by his side, which also shows how much he attaches to Wade. Wade can't have any three long and two short.

Because of the light control, during the dark early morning march, 70 also installed a pair of anti-aircraft lights in the front of the car, the lights were very dim, and basically they could only look at the tail lights of the vehicles in front of them.

The road conditions in the tropical rainforest have made many people deeply experience, the so-called kilometer 3 is simply a battlefield passage, a road that can only accommodate one car, not to mention twists and turns, but also potholes. Fortunately, the battlefield has been a continuous sunny day for the past few days, and if it rains, just dealing with a stuck car can seriously delay the speed of the troops' march.

Zhao Xu was very excited, no matter what, this is going to the battlefield. If it weren't for the sound control discipline, he would keep asking questions to Li Lu. Therefore, he could only hold his breath and look around, even though it was all dark.

He clenched the 56 punch with both hands, his spirit was highly nervous, and he was in a posture that he could pick up the gun at any time, and he didn't even know that the light machine gun in the co-pilot's windshield was much more effective than the 56 punch in his hand.

Unfortunately, they can only follow behind the entire force, and the opportunity to shoot is almost non-existent. If the enemy is allowed to rush to the rear, the tank regiment will almost be withdrawn - what do you want such a unit to do!

Zhao Xu fantasized about the relevant scenes in his mind.

The artillery fire was flying, the soldiers on both sides were strangled together, the tanks and armored vehicles were like wolves, and the dull sound of artillery fire seemed to have sounded in the ears, which was very clear.

He couldn't help but look at Li Lu, envious of the section chief, because the section chief had been on the battlefield for a long time. But Zhao Xu felt strange that since he arrived here, the section chief's expression had been very solemn, and he did not have a sense of relaxation returning to the familiar environment, let alone a look of expectation.

Zhao Xu felt that the most nervous person was the section chief.

There is nothing wrong with that, the people who know the most about the situation are the most nervous, and they are also shouldering such an important escort task.

Shaking his head, Zhao Xu felt that he couldn't imagine it anymore, and there was a violent cannon sound in his ears just now, just like the real thing.

He suddenly noticed something abnormal, he saw the section chief's mouth wide open as if he was shouting something, and the scene he saw in front of him became very slow, like slow motion, the section chief's expression was very anxious, he was shouting something, but he didn't hear what he was shouting at all.

"Boom!"

There was another loud bang, and then a flash of fire erupted from the convoy in front of it.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's senses returned to normal, he really felt that the car didn't know when it stopped, and Li Lu was shouting: "Get out of the car!" Get out! Shelling! ”

Zhao Xu suddenly woke up, it was not an auditory hallucination, it was the sound of a real cannonball exploding!

Shelling!

Almost a knee-jerk reaction, Zhao Xu pushed the car door and jumped out of the car with a gun, the continuous shells fell around, the earth trembled, and the continuous firelight made the night instantly have some other colors. The test firing of enemy artillery is over, and the covered shelling is coming.

Li Lu dragged Wade from the car alive, and Wade's 1.8 meters and nearly 200 catties were dragged by him like dragging a bag of cotton.

"Hidden! Take cover! Get out into the ditch! Li Lu dragged Wade and shouted wildly while running, rolled down the ditch on the side of the road with Wade in his arms, and said hurriedly, "Stay here!" ”

Wade's bile is going to scare out - this is the real battlefield!

Li Lu jumped out and looked up at the second car, Zhang Weiwei dragged Rachel into the ditch, Liu Xiangyang didn't even want a gun, and ran wildly into the woods with his head in his hands.

"Liu Xiangyang! Don't go in! Get down! Li Lu rushed over and roared.

The scout in the second car was faster than him, rushed over and knocked down Liu Xiangyang, directly pressing him under him. A shell fell and exploded right near their location!

"Boom!"

The flames soared into the sky, followed by smoke.

Li Lu was knocked to the ground by the impact, and when he got up and wanted to go over to see the situation, he found Niu Jun standing there in a daze in fright. Li Lu rushed over with all his strength, held Niu Jun in his arms, and fell sideways, and the two of them rolled into the weedy ditch, he turned over and pressed Niu Jun under him, covering her ears with his hands.

As soon as the shells fell, there were skyrocketing fires everywhere, and the entire convoy was in chaos......
