Chapter 378: The Offensive Begins

"I'll go."

As soon as Xie Chuyue said this, everyone looked at him.

"One squad is fine, two more RA-12ERs are needed, and if we can, send a helicopter to pick them up after we complete the mission."

"Brother Chu, this is not a joke." Zhang Zilan obviously felt that Xie Chuyue was joking.

It's not that Xie Chuyue can't do it, but he only led a team to destroy the rebels' long-range air defense system, and basically there was no return.

"We're roundabout from the north."

When Xie Chuyue stood up, Wang Haotian called up the map of the war zone and projected it onto the big screen.

"We crossed the Tigris first, and the rebels were heavily armed on the south bank, so it was more convenient to be on the north bank." Xie Chuyue walked to the screen and circled an area on the map. "Based on the two days of fighting, we can roughly conclude that the rebel air defense system is deployed in this area. Because Huaxia has already imposed an embargo on both warring sides, destroying the radar can paralyze the air defense system. ”

"One team, it's still too little." Wang Dong said.

"There are fewer people, but it is more hidden, after all, we are going to sneak attack the rebels' air defenses, not to engage the rebels' main forces head-on."

Wang Dong sighed secretly and did not refute Xie Chuyue's point of view.

"In addition, we need five all-terrain vehicles to carry enough supplies and ammunition. We also need an encrypted radio station so that we can always get the latest information. ”

"It's best to bring two." Wang Haotian said.

Xie Chuyue nodded and said, "We mainly operate at night, after all, the rebels have a large number of troops, and it is too risky to act during the day. As expected, we were able to reach the area the next night. It would be great if we could make some noise and get the rebels to use their air defenses. ”

Wang Dong let out a long breath and glanced at the others before saying, "I will contact Yunlong and try to get the Royal Saudi Air Force to launch a bombing operation." ”

"Finally, retreat."

At this time, Zhang Zilan, Lei Dong, Tiehu and others all sighed.

Quite simply, the retreat is the most difficult.

After the team led by Xie Chuyue destroyed the rebels' venting system, they would definitely be discovered by the rebels and then chased by the rebels.

Although Xie Chuyue and the others are very powerful, the hope of escaping must be extremely slim.

You must know that no matter how powerful the special forces are, it will be difficult to deal with a large number of enemies after their whereabouts are exposed, let alone behind enemy lines.

"As soon as you're done with the mission, contact the mouse. When the time comes, I will personally go and receive you. ”

Xie Chuyue glanced at Wang Dong, then nodded.

"If nothing else, how long will it take you to find the rebels' air defenses?"

"Three days, maybe four days, but how long it will take, I can't say."

"Well, we'll limit it to four days. If you don't destroy the rebels' air defenses within four days, you'll have to withdraw in time. ”

Xie Chuyue nodded and didn't say anything more.

"It's early in the morning, you go and pick the people to participate in the operation. Retreat to the back before dawn to prepare for tomorrow night's operation. ”

"If it's time, we'll cross the river tonight."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, but he did not object to Xie Chuyue's proposition.

The rebels haven't attacked yet, and it would be good to cross the river early, at least without worrying about being discovered by the rebels.

Drag it out for a day, and the devil knows what will happen.

Xie Chuyue didn't say anything more, and called Wang Haotian out.

After it was determined that Xie Chuyue would lead a team to find and destroy the FD2000 air defense system behind enemy lines, there was nothing else important.

Wang Dong had already made arrangements for the combat tasks related to the defense of the city.

In fact, in the short term, what needs to be considered is not how to fight the rebels in the city, but how to slow down the rebels' advance.

Don't forget, the rebels are still twenty kilometers from the city.

After the meeting ended, Wang Dong went to sleep.

When the rebels attack and the Nasiriyah defense battle begins, I am afraid that there will be no chance to sleep and rest.

It was not Luo Qing who stayed behind who woke up Wang Dong, but the sound of explosions coming from outside the city.

According to Wang Dong's arrangement, Luo Qing stayed in the city and led a squadron of operatives to maintain order, including rescuing wounded civilians.

It's not that Wang Dong is worried about Luo Qing, but someone needs to do these things.

Obviously, Luo Qing is the most suitable, after all, it is easier for female faces to attract attention, and it is easier to calm down frightened civilians.

The explosions came and went, and they didn't stop for a long time.

At this time, it was half past five in the morning.

Half an hour later, the sky will be bright.

Apparently, this is the rebels preparing for an offensive.

While Wang Dong was putting on the equipment, Luo Qing rushed over.

She was already wearing body armor, carrying a DF6PD, a DF8SMG on her back, a dozen magazines of 6mm bullets on the belt around her waist, a chain magazine with four 8mm bullets hanging from her waist, and a combat pistol in the holster on her left thigh.

It's just a steel helmet.

"Is this necessary?"

"Be prepared."

Wang Dong was a little speechless and said, "What about Brother Chu, have you crossed the river?" ”

Luo Qing nodded, without much explanation, Xie Chuyue and the others had crossed the Tigris River two hours ago, and they were already dozens of kilometers away at this time.

At this time, Wang Haotian's words came from the earphones. "Brother Dong, the rebels have attacked."

"Yes, I'll come right over."

When Wang Dong was wearing an armed belt, Luo Qing handed over the DF6PD on the table.

Because he stayed at the headquarters to command the battle, Wang Dong did not receive DF8SMG, in fact, he felt that even DF6PD was not necessary.

The rebels attacked, and it would take at least a few days to get there.

When Wang Dong and Luo Qing arrived, Major General Nanigel was furious at a staff officer, and it sounded like the staff officer had not given the battle order in time.

What's the use of getting angry at staff officers?

Wang Dong didn't bother himself, and walked straight towards Wang Haotian.

Seeing the picture on the computer screen, Wang Dong understood why Nanijer was angry.

Before the attack, the rebels advanced five kilometers towards Nasiriyah without being detected by the defenders, and the starting point of the attack was only fifteen kilometers from the city.

What's worse is that the rebels have taken control of the outer defense line through a sneak attack.

Because it had already retreated several tens of kilometers, there were only two lines of defense on the western outskirts of Nasiriyah, and the other line of defense was only five kilometers from the city.

Between the two lines of defense is a vacuum zone up to ten kilometers wide!

There is no way to leave such a large gap, after all, the strength of the defenders is really limited, and it is impossible to make the defense line tighter.

Actually, there's nothing to be sorry about.

The so-called outer defense line is a sentry post and several improvised positions nearby, and the guard strength is only one platoon of more than 30 officers and soldiers.

In any case, the rebels were fifteen kilometers from the city and ten kilometers from the next line of defense.
