The "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion" came quickly, but stopped when it came to a mountain peak a kilometer away from the revolutionary army.

This is the snow peak, there is nothing to cover, the busy figures on the position of the Revolutionary Army were discovered by the scouts of the "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion" from afar, and there is no way to do it, because the matter came too suddenly, there is no room for the Revolutionary Army to make hidden preparations.

After receiving the report from the scouts, Lieutenant Colonel Hooley only took out his binoculars and observed the defensive positions on the rebel side for a while, and then contemptuously asked the adjutant to arrange the combat mission.

The combat method of the "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion" is completely different from that of ordinary Imperial troops, at this time, when the attack of ordinary Imperial troops is not assisted by artillery, it is mainly based on platoon group attacks, and the advantage of this is that it can concentrate the fire of rifles to suppress the enemy on the position.

However, the "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion" generally went out independently, mainly fighting with light infantry. In addition, the individual ability of the soldiers is very strong, so they still take the squad as a unit and attack quickly and flexibly.

After receiving the order, the adjutant quickly made arrangements.

The "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion" that entered the mountains to encircle and suppress this time had a total of 6 companies and more than 1,000 people, but after deducting the baggage soldiers and the company that stayed behind to receive supplies from Ludong Ganbu, there were only 600 officers and men here.

Although the number is not very large, but this team is almost all elite soldiers, the confident officers and soldiers do not seem to care how many opponents there are, after receiving the combat mission, all the soldiers silently unloaded their skis and began to quickly check the weapons in their hands.

"The 3rd Company attacked head-on, pressed with stragglers in squads, paid attention to attracting the enemy's firepower, and tried to arrange accurate shooters to suppress the enemy."

"The 4th Company re-equipped its skis and made a detour back to the back of the slope from the foot of the right hill to prevent the enemy from escaping."

"The 5th Company sent accurate shooters to climb the ridge of this mountain to cover the shooting."

"The 2nd Company followed the 3rd Company."

"All of them, for the sake of the Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor, Wan Sheng."

"Wan Sheng!"

With a neat and dull roar, all the fighters of the "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion" began to prepare for the attack under the leadership of their respective commanders.

The first to set off was the 4th Company, reloaded their skis and put on snow-white cloaks, and the more than 100 fighters of the 4th Company detoured like sharp arrows from the string.

Immediately after that, more than 60 precision marksmen selected by the 5th Company began to climb up the ridge behind them, and their task was to minimize the height difference between the two sides, and use their accurate long-range shots to suppress the enemy in the defensive position.

The soldiers who had not yet received the task of attacking were not idle, and everyone lined up in a departure formation one by one.

Each squad had two soldiers, one carrying grenadiers and the other collecting grenadier grenades from the fighters in the squad and carrying them on their backs.

Due to the lack of grenadiers in the last Mingguang Fort, the attack was frustrated when the enemy was prepared, so this time when it started, each squad of the "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion" was equipped with a grenadier soldier.

Of course, for the soldiers of the "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion", this is just a few more grenadier grenades on their bodies, and an extra grenadier on a soldier in the squad, because all the soldiers are actually excellent grenadiers, so they did not draw grenadier operators from other units.

Of course, due to the barrier of that ridge, the "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion" did not know anything about these arrangements of the Revolutionary Army, but only knew that the enemy should be making preparations before the attack when he stopped behind the ridge, so everyone entered the position to prepare for defense.

"Sean, did you learn the offensive rules of this team when you were at the Imperial Military Academy?"

The combat effectiveness of the "Invincible Iron Wolf Division" has long been well-known in the Imperial Army, but what kind of attack methods they will use according to different combat environments is not something that Major Davis can judge.

"According to my judgment, this army has more accurate marksmen, so they will definitely send troops to the opposite ridge to accurately suppress them."

Hearing Major Davis's question, Sean, who was also frowning and pondering at this time, also gave his own judgment, first pointing to the ridge on the opposite side that was a few meters below his own position.

"This doesn't really matter, although few of our soldiers can shoot accurately at this distance, but we have a heavy machine gun as a suppressive weapon, according to Terry's description of the performance of the heavy machine gun, the heavy machine gun we set up on the high ground can definitely suppress the enemy on the ridge outside the enemy's range."

In order to better play the suppressive role of the heavy machine gun, the heavy machine gun position was set up on the commanding height of the snow peak, and after looking at the distance from the ridge to the machine gun position, Major Davis also made his own judgment.

"Well, that's true, but if the heavy machine guns are used to suppress these enemies, then the pressure on the frontal position will be greater, although according to the observation just now, although the number of these enemies is much smaller than ours, and they are the attacking side, but the combat effectiveness of this team is definitely not ordinary, so I am worried that without the suppression of heavy machine guns, our fighters will not be able to resist the attack of this army."

As a highly talented student at the Imperial Military Academy, Lieutenant Sean has a much deeper understanding of the enemy on the other side than Major Davis, so he is even more worried at this time.

"We are now in a defensive position, and with the constraints of this soft snow on the enemy's offensive speed, as long as the enemy does not have offensive heavy weapons, it should not be a problem to block the enemy head-on."

After looking at the thick snow at the foot of the mountain, Major Davis still had confidence in the defense.

"Let's hope the enemy doesn't carry a grenadier this time!"

Lieutenant Sean didn't say this, but he still muttered something in his heart, and then he ran to the heavy machine gun position, preparing to personally command the heavy machine gun company to suppress the enemy accurate shooters that might appear.

Soon, when Sean and the heavy machine gun were finished communicating with each other, dozens of figures appeared on the ridge opposite.

These soldiers in snow-white cloaks were very cunning, and did not gather together, but scattered all over the ridge.

As soon as the defenders came into view from the back of the ridge, the nimble figures quickly found concealment to dodge.

Although the ridge is also covered with a thick layer of snow, due to the steepness of the mountain, the many craggy boulders on it still cause the snow on the ridge to be uneven, providing a natural cover for these accurate shooters.

"What a cunning guy."

Sean, who was lying on the heavy machine gun position and looked at the opposite ridge with a telescope, spat and said fiercely.

"Lieutenant Sean, what should I do now? Although we can easily hit there with range, the enemy is too scattered, which is a waste of bullets! ”

The heavy machine gun, who was also lying next to Sean to observe the enemy's situation, asked anxiously one after another.

"There is no way, waste is waste, if you don't suppress these accurate shooters, the fighters in the main position will be even more dangerous."

At this time, Sean had already seen hundreds of figures begin to appear at the foot of the opposite mountain, and these people were scattered very far.

And from their flexible and treacherous tactical movements, Sean can see that this is an elite unit that has been in battle for a long time.

What made Sean frown even more was that his fears were fulfilled again. Because among these attacking enemies, Sean has seen quite a few soldiers with grenadiers in their hands.

"Oops! Now the main position is in danger. ”
