Chapter 3: Night Attack I
It took 32 hours for the entire 2 brigade to complete the trek of thousands of kilometers, and as they approached the battlefield, the soldiers in the vehicles did not feel fear and excitement because they went to the battlefield for the first time.
It's all thanks to the spiritual world!
Before stepping on the battlefield, even the 2nd Battalion, which had a very high proportion of recruits, had experienced more than 3 large-scale exercises in the spiritual world per capita, and the exercises in the spiritual world were no different from war, so for the soldiers, they were also considered "veterans" who had experienced the war, although relatively speaking, they were still immature.
The cannonballs screamed again and fell from the sky, exploding more than ten meters from the road, and the dust raised splashed on the armor of the infantry chariot, and occasionally fragments hit the infantry chariot, but the steel plate of sunglasses roaring more than ten millimeters was no longer something that could be penetrated by exhaustive fragments.
The kind of personnel carrier covered with tarpaulin has now been completely reduced to a transport vehicle, and the popularity of infantry chariots has made the personal safety of soldiers on the march unprecedentedly guaranteed.
The morale of the entire 2nd Battalion was very high, even though there were constantly shells falling around, but the armor of the infantry gave them enough confidence that no one was worried that they might be killed by fragments.
Just when Ye Xiao was happy about the high morale of his subordinates, Wu Si reported: "In the camp, a personnel carrier of the 3rd Company was hit by a shell, killing four soldiers, 7 soldiers were injured, and two of them may be crippled. ”
"I ...... I know ......" Ye Xiao sighed, this was the first casualty of the 2nd battalion on the battlefield, and the casualties of 11 people made him feel distressed, but on the battlefield, who didn't give his life to God?
Ye Xiao was not worried about the wounded, but he was afraid of affecting morale, so he did not notify the whole battalion of the casualties, but tried to suppress it as much as possible.
After arriving at the scheduled military station, the 2nd Battalion did not enter the battlefield at the first time, but began to repair under Ye Xiao's order, although the whole battalion spent thousands of kilometers of marching in vehicles, but for the first time on the battlefield, Ye Xiao was worried that the soldiers were too excited and mentally exhausted.
He thought of an industrious bee, inspecting the situation of the whole battalion again and again, although the casualties had spread throughout the battalion, but the mood of the soldiers, encouraged by the non-commissioned officers and officers, did not fall low, but fell asleep in the vehicle one after another.
The patriotic education of the empire over the years has a very good effect, and the morale is available!
The brigade headquarters communicated with the 246th Division and agreed to change the guard seven hours later, that is, at 1 a.m.
……
The special platoon and reconnaissance platoon of the mobile company entered the front-line position two hours before the change of guard, and lurked in the salient area to be on alert; after the change of guard began, they had to monitor the movements of the enemy's troops, and they must not allow the 2nd Battalion to be taken advantage of by the enemy when it had not gained a firm foothold.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, the 2nd Battalion stepped into the battlefield, the direct company and the rear company were arranged on the defensive line of the connection point, the infantry company and the mobile company went directly to the salient, and the fire branch company was deployed in the rear as a support force to support the front line at any time.
The appearance of the three battalions that were changed was very miserable, everyone was wounded, and when they withdrew from the front line, many people showed the ecstasy of being in a desperate situation, but they could not be happy when they thought of those comrades who sacrificed their lives, these battlefields that had fought bloodily for several days.
"3 battalions, in more than 100 hours, more than 450 people were killed, a full battalion, and the casualty ratio exceeded sixty percent......" Ye Xiao sighed in his heart, according to the brigade headquarters, the 2nd battalion will be stationed here for at least more than 110 hours, and I don't know what kind of record my own army, which has just been formed for a short time, will play in such a battle!
After taking over the position, Ye Xiao's first order was for the whole battalion to repair the fortifications, and after the previous fortifications were cultivated by artillery fire for several rounds, they could no longer meet the requirements of anti-artillery - this was related to the safety of the whole battalion, and it must not be compromised.
Although the lighting control was carried out, the night operation of the 2nd Battalion, equipped with night vision eyes, was not a problem, the fast-setting cement was constantly transported by the rear security company, the soldiers quickly repaired the fortifications, and the officers who were born as special detectives and old birds also arranged a large number of fake fortifications with great interest.
Ye Xiao is accustomed to attacking, which has a lot to do with his dragon blade, so when the salient is in full swing to build fortifications, the tasks of the special platoon and the reconnaissance platoon have changed, they will take advantage of the cover of night to sneak in front of the enemy's defense line, and guide missiles and rockets to destroy the enemy's fortifications and barracks, and it would be even more perfect if they could destroy a few arsenals.
……
The platoon commander of the special platoon is Lieutenant Xu Jin, a special operations commander specially recruited by Ye Xiao from the Special Academy, at first he was not happy to blend into the Black Flag Army, but now, Ye Xiao can't get rid of this guy.
One lieutenant, who can take 60 ferocious hungry wolves? What's more, among these hungry wolves, there is also a special team of officers, the size of 6 people, 4 lieutenants and two ensigns!
Xu Jin is very proud of having such a luxurious formation under his command, and now he plans to improve his seniority in the special platoon.
"The whole platoon is dispersed in small groups, each looking for a target, and after the preparation is over, the target under sight will be guided and attacked together!" Xu Jin quietly gave the order after the whole platoon infiltrated the enemy's front line.
The special platoon is divided into 4 squads, each squad is divided into two or three combat groups, which can meet the needs of various tasks.
Xu Jin's group is the second strongest combat group in the whole platoon, and this proud special officer naturally wants to compete for the first place, so after being dispersed, he decided to do a big one.
The reconnaissance intelligence of the reconnaissance company of the 246th Division showed that they were facing an attacking force composed of three regiments, the location of the headquarters was unknown, and there was no special force, Xu Jin left one of his subordinates to guide the attack, and the others were taken by him to the depths of the enemy.
It may be because the Wehrmacht has been on the defensive before, the enemy did not set up a large number of mobile posts and secret posts at night, and the only few hidden posts may be too tired, and they are simply like open posts under the night vision glasses.
"Wang Lei, Zhao Siqi, on!"
More than forty meters away, there were two secret posts with horns that depended on each other, and after Xu Jin confirmed that there were no other secret posts, he directly gestured to the two subordinates to go over and touch the whistle.
The two named slowly crawled out of the team, and it took more than 20 minutes to sneak in at a distance of more than 40 meters, and the two people cooperated very well with each other, almost at the same time to reach the dark whistle, and after hearing each other's knocking on the headset, they pounced decisively, and the sharp dagger pierced the back of the dark whistle's head, and the whistle was successful.
Xu Jin motioned for the others to follow and began to infiltrate the enemy camp.
Although there are various open and dark sentinels in the camp, the lax level of vigilance makes Xu Jin very grateful to his comrades for the precious opportunity left for them - if it wasn't for the fact that the Wehrmacht didn't sneak attack in the dark before, how could he have such a good opportunity?
