Chapter 21: Assault Battalion! Advance! (3)

In order to solve this problem, the imperial military spent an astonishing amount of research and development of armored vehicles specially equipped with airborne troops, and at the same time, the airborne troops were also equipped with a large number of rocket launchers, so that the armored forces have a strong ability to attack fortified positions and field capabilities.

As long as you don't run into invincible tank troops, the long-trained airborne troops, the combat effectiveness that can burst will definitely make the opponent cry - the cost of one airborne division is three heavily armed tank divisions, and this is still without considering the loss of transport aircraft and spaceships.

In contrast, the 139th Regiment of the 498th Division was just an ordinary Wehrmacht unit, and it was understandable that it would lose a mess in the face of an opponent who was completely different in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, but the crisis of the 139th Division affected the heart of the Red Command.

In any case, a defeat on the exercise ground is a shame that will not be washed away for the commander - how is this different from a failure on the battlefield?

"This is our chance! The only chance! Ye Xiao said at the battalion headquarters meeting: "No matter what the result of the exercise is, our assault battalion must, must do its best, so that everyone is impressed, the Military Affairs Institute needs our achievements to confirm the correctness of the military reform, and the generals of the tank unit need combat examples to be sober!" So, we have to put in 100,000 efforts! ”

"According to the war briefing just received, the 498th Regiment of the 139th Division of the Wehrmacht has collapsed and been annihilated, the 139th Division has been attacked in the abdomen, and the situation is critical, we now have two choices!" Zheng Yingqi took Ye Xiao's words and said:

"First, our assault battalion maintains the current marching speed, and it will be about three hours before it can reach the battlefield, and the possible situation at that time is that the 139th Division will be annihilated, and the entire right flank will be divided, and our unit will most likely face the heavy tank troops of the Blue Army, and in the face of the sea of steel, our assault battalion may not be able to make a splash!"

"Second, the assault battalion operates separately, consisting of an armored infantry company, a mobile company and a part of the support troops, and rushes to the battlefield as quickly as possible, and can arrive at the battlefield an hour and a half in advance, but it is very likely that due to poor command, the combat effectiveness will not be fully exerted, and it will not even be able to break through the defense line of the airborne division!"

"Although the Flying Dragon 9 armored combat vehicle is thin and small, its firepower is not bad, and if we hit more and less, our chances of victory are not great, after all, the biggest feature of the assault battalion is that the overall combat effectiveness is high, not that the individual arms are strong."

Zheng Yingqi put the two options in front of Qiu Yun and Zhao You, and then waited for Qiu Yun's decision, in fact, Zheng Yingqi also preferred the first safe plan, after all, if you lose a lot because of the risk, the impact on the assault battalion is too great.

"Sir, I suggest the second option!" Ye Xiao interjected: "The Blue Army Airborne Division is scattered on a front of 50 kilometers, although the offensive power is full, but the fact that the whole division is scattered is inevitable, and in order to attack, the offensive line will inevitably be lengthened, and within the unit area, the Blue Army strength that our unit can encounter is limited, second, I suggest that the first wave of attack troops be formed by the armored infantry company, the mobile company, and the rocket platoon and missile platoon of the fire branch company, and the second wave will be formed by the rear protection company and the 2nd battalion of the 319th regiment, and the battalion headquarters and the rest of the troops will be the third wave. ”

"Although the first wave of troops is chaotic, it can give full play to the combat effectiveness of the composite battalion to a certain extent, although the information troops of our department are immature, but it is not powerless to ensure the communication of our department and implement communication suppression, as long as we can disrupt the offensive of the blue airborne forces and buy time for the follow-up troops, even if there are serious casualties, it is not unacceptable!"

After all, Ye Xiao has experienced a "previous life", and he is more decisive than these future generals in the face of trade-offs.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Yun looked at Zheng Yingqi and Zhao You.

"Although Ye Xiao's opinion is a bit risky, it's worth it!" After weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Yingqi had to agree with Ye Xiao's opinion.

Zhao You also did not object.

"Since that's the case, then do as Ye Xiao said!" Qiuyun didn't delay, and time didn't allow him to waste like this, "Ye Xiao is in charge of the first wave and takes over the command of the first wave of troops!" Inch, you take command of the second wave! ”

Ye Xiao originally thought that Zheng Yingqi was suitable to serve as the commander of the first wave, after all, Zheng Yingqi in his memory was the invincible god of war who led the Black Flag Army to win a hundred battles, but he completely forgot that the current Zheng Yingqi was just a major who knew a little about the synthesis mode, far from the invincible god of war in his previous life, in Qiu Yun's eyes, Ye Xiao, who proposed the synthesis mode, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, although Ye Xiao had even been removed from his rank at the moment, but this did not prevent him from believing in Ye Xiao.

Zhao You and Zheng Yingqi have no opinion, in fact, they also think that Ye Xiao is the most suitable candidate, although Ye Xiao has never entered the command academy for further study, or even just a second lieutenant, but it is undeniable that the core person of the entire assault battalion is not Qiu Yun, nor Zhao You or Zheng Yingqi, but Ye Xiao who only hangs as a second lieutenant!

The establishment and combat method of the entire synthetic battalion, even if Zheng Yingqi had a whim, it was actually Ye Xiao who really made the decision.

Facing the trust of his comrades-in-arms, Ye Xiao did not shirk, and could only express his attitude with a fierce nod.

"The Empire is mighty!" Ye Xiao saluted and roared.

The first wave of troops, consisting of an armored infantry company, a motorized company, and three fire support platoons, accelerated away from the ranks after the meeting and rushed toward the battlefield at the fastest speed, while the special platoon in the motorized company took on the reconnaissance mission, and the high-speed armored reconnaissance vehicles maintained a distance of 20 kilometers from the friendly forces of the first wave to clear the way for the troops.

Nine armored reconnaissance vehicles, at an extremely long distance from each other, told the running and old birds who served as observers in the endless field to look nervously in all directions, not daring to be careless - scouts, like special forces, are arms that cannot tolerate a trace of sloppiness, and if they bring the troops into the enemy's ambush circle, this responsibility is enough to get rid of all the commanders of the reconnaissance unit! How can these old birds not understand such a truth?

"Attention, you have entered the war zone, all units should pay attention to vigilance, and report the situation immediately if they find it!"

The solemn voice of the wolf came from the communication crystal machine.

As soon as the words fell, there were missiles in the distant sky with long tail flames flying from the farther sky, as if it was a signal, and more missiles dragged the tail flames to appear continuously.

"The Blues have launched a general attack on the 139th Division!" The wolf secretly screamed badly, it's too late!

"Sir, according to the positioning, the place where the missile attacked is very likely to be the 499th Regiment station!"

Some subordinates immediately made a judgment.

The wolf did not hesitate and ordered: "Report to No. 3 and speed up immediately, we must get first-hand information as soon as possible!" ”

The wolf is very clear about the plan of the battalion headquarters, and it is precisely because he is clear that he secretly screams that it is not good, if he can't grasp the first-hand information before Ye Xiao leads his troops to arrive, and provide Ye Xiao with favorable judgment information, in case Ye Xiao's misjudgment causes his own side to plunge headlong into the battle that is about to end, this will undoubtedly be the price of destruction for the assault battalion!
