Chapter 27 Early Warning Missions

In order to reach the position, we made a great circle and crossed the defense zone of the four armies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This is still the result of choosing the optimal path with the assistance of the information data chain, avoiding the intricate actual control lines as much as possible.

Although the distance in a straight line was less than a kilometer, the distance to return to the position was more than ten kilometers.

During this period, it encountered several interspersed attacks by enemy rapid reaction forces.

The most dangerous one was a sneak attack from a drone.

The decapitating precision-guided bomb almost wiped out the bald officer's gang.

The bald head also judged that our squad had been targeted by the enemy.

Without stopping all the way, he crossed the defense area of the 537th Heavy Tank Regiment at the speed of a rapid march, and finally came to the hinterland of the elevated road.

The landscape has changed so much that I can barely recognise myself ever being here.

The wreckage of more than a dozen enemy tanks was scattered like small mounds at the junction of the two original positions.

The fallen Hellfire attack aircraft was abandoned on a hill piled up by the rubble, and it was no longer arrogant and domineering.

The remains of the fighters were scattered in almost all areas of the front of the position.

The corpses of our fighters were stacked on top of each other, and the tragic scenes told of what had happened here.

A group of soldiers is clearing the battlefield.

They dragged our wounded soldiers or corpses back to safety and disposed of them, and when they encountered enemy soldiers, they would shoot them alive and dead, and then throw the corpses into the pit prepared in advance.

Among the clean-up crews, there is Karin.

Her combat uniform was strewn with a large amount of blood, some of which had turned black.

She moved neatly between the various ruins that could be used as shelter, as close as possible to the possible wounded, and leaped out of the cat with her waist bent, agile as an elf.

We entered the position farther to the inside, a certain distance from her, and although we wanted to lean over to greet her, we finally reluctantly followed the group up the elevated road. Because I want to know more about what to do next. With the bald heads, they're sure to be able to find out some inside information.

Coming to the upper floor, I almost thought I was in the wrong place.

This is not what it was supposed to be. Various parts of the elevated road were reinforced by a large number of metal structures, and the edge guardrails of the collapsed tank shelling were replaced by alloy low walls.

On the side facing away from the battle line, the temporary passage that the sappers rushed to build was really spectacular.

From an elevated levle more than 30 meters above the ground, the spiral passage spirals downward, with its grand metal structure and a large number of hollow sections, it looks like a traditional large-scale entertainment facility from a distance.

A single spiral path can accommodate at least two vehicles in parallel, and there are as many as six of the same spiral.

The front is not clear, but when you come to the edge of the convenient passage, you can find that rows of hollow columns reinforced with alloy provide structural reinforcement for the elevated part of the position, so as to prevent the enemy from collapsing the position with the goal of the elevated itself.

At present, the elevated position can no longer see the appearance of the original communication artery, and a group of well-built fortifications stands in the center of the battlefield.

These changes are not finished, and what surprised me the most was the levitation of a fortress cannon above the elevated air.

This is a cruiser-class railgun, equipped with an armor plate shell and a defensive turret with a levitation device, which can greatly threaten enemy armored targets in a wide area. Even attack planes had to fly around it, and it was a big killer of the fortress defense system.

In the previous defensive battles, it was these batteries that deterred the enemy's armored forces, forcing the enemy to send infantry forces first to fight with the defenders for the ownership of the batteries, thus wasting a lot of time on the enemy.

If it weren't for the onslaught of Proxima Centauri at all costs, which destroyed two floating batteries in advance, they might not have even been able to establish a forward position, let alone capture the entire fortress.

With such a big guy, it is no wonder that even if our army is divided and besieged, it is still able to hold the existing position without losing.

In the face of the magnificent fortification group, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride when I saw the high-density anti-aircraft artillery arrays that could induce dense phobia, and the multi-layered three-dimensional arrangement of the positional defense equipment.

This is the position that our squad has fought down, and it is the result of the special service company, and it is worthy of the title of the hero company.

Immediately after entering the core area of the position, we were taken into the area of the brigade headquarters by the local guard unit, that is, the guard platoon of the 172nd Armored Brigade.

Only then did I realize that not only Staff Officer Kim, but the entire armored brigade had been pressed forward, and even its headquarters had been placed on the front line of the battle.

I can't help but admire the commanders of the 172nd Brigade in my heart, they are really fierce generals, and those who can put the command headquarters at bayonet distance will never be a bad breed.

At this time, I saw a strange scene, after entering the brigade headquarters, everyone was saluting the bald head.

What's going on? What the hell is he coming from?

"It's not really a big shot!"

"Hey, you idiot, do you know! He is our brigade commander, Senior Colonel Zhang Tianhao, the youngest army colonel on Mars, and the first ever pre-booked candidate for a field marshal. ā€

The sick technician seemed to have finally found an opportunity to fight back, and he was sarcastic at me.

But I don't care about any of this, I just looked at Zhang Tianhao and felt a burst of emotion in my heart.

Seeing that he is not very old, "If I can live to his age, can I also become a colonel?"

"You dream!"

The technologist's words caused a burst of laughter, and I realized that I had unconsciously spoken what was in my heart.

"What? Isn't this sending my people to death! I disagree! In the tent used as a temporary headquarters by the brigade headquarters, a man walked out with a grunt. It was Lian Damon.

He met our group head-on, and someone chased after him after him in a daze.

"Ahh I said Damon, don't get excited, listen to me. We have no choice, who makes us an armored brigade, lacking capable infantry units, can only rely on you. Yes! It's the colonel who is back, just right, come and persuade him, this is Lieutenant Damon of the 2205th Division, we urgently need his special service company as a positional early warning force, and their division commander has agreed to this matter. ā€

The person who chased him out was Staff Officer Jin, he and Zhang Tianhao were both bald, and it seems that this hairstyle is the tradition of the 172nd Brigade.

"It turned out to be the company commander of the Hero Company! It's been a long time, and now in a special period, for the sake of the overall situation, I still ask the brother troops to help vigorously. ā€

When Damon saw a few of us in the second row, he nodded hurriedly, and was reluctantly invited back.

"Platoon commander, what is the position of the position of the position warning?" , I am not from a professional background, and there must be loopholes in the knowledge of emergency repair, so I am not afraid to ask more.

In my gaze, Ruan Pai's sharp face showed solemnity.

"Uh...... Positional warning is a very important position, which needs to be garrisoned by elite troops or special forces, and its role is similar to fire reconnaissance, which can allow important units to know the structure of the attacking force and the exact size of the force before engaging the enemy. It is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of mobile defense by armored forces. But ......"

Looking at the appearance of the technical soldiers, I already understand that this is an extremely dangerous position, and if I want to use it as a positional early warning force, compared with cannon fodder or a dead army, it is only a difference in name.

Perhaps out of guilt, the technician didn't tease me anymore, but left with a large box with a few other people.

I don't care much about the death mission I'm about to accept, and I always run into all kinds of death-and-life situations anyway, and I don't care about another one.

After getting in touch with Fang Hushan and others through the information link, Lincoln and I took leave of absence from the platoon commander and met the other three people in the squad at the long table in the brigade canteen.

"Squad leader, come and taste the food of the main force, it's really not comparable to our division." , Fang Hushan's tone was very bold, but his expression betrayed his mood.

Yes, out of ten, there are only five of us left. In less than a day, half of the brothers who got along with each other day and night were gone, what a sad scene.

Rose smiled at the two of us, looking a little more lonely.

Karin turned her head to the other side of the tent to prevent us from seeing her expression.

The gathering was speechless, although it was only half a day, but it was like a world away.

After the silence, Fang Hushan briefed me on what had happened after leaving.

Since the departure of the two anti-tank squads, the fighting has become more intense.

First, three platoons of men withdrew from their positions, and only four of the nearly forty people remained.

The enemy stormed their positions with almost an entire regiment of mechanized infantry.

Using the terrain and pre-planted anti-tank mines, they inflicted heavy losses on the enemy troops, but unfortunately the gap in forces was too great and they were still swallowed up by the swarming forces.

After the fall of the three-row position, the pressure of defense fell directly on the elevated position, and Fang Hushan and they were ready for glory.

It was at this point that Kim Staff Officer and they succeeded.

Between the attacking troops, the initial data link was successfully established, and the tactical terminal clearly displayed the current battle situation, as well as the offensive and defensive trends of the most important positions.

In less than a few minutes, each area caught in the bitter battle received reinforcements of the appropriate size, which is also a reflection of the battlefield data link to maximize the efficiency of troop dispatch in the case of limited troops.

In contrast, Proxima Centauri is also affected by electromagnetic interference, and the advantages and disadvantages of battlefield scheduling are immediately apparent.

This is the end of the progress of the enemy's rapid mobile forces, which have basically completed the division of our assault force. Our troops quickly regained control of the key positions.

Among them, as the transmission relay of the battlefield data link and the elevated position at the center of the frequency hopping joint commissioning system, it has been reinforced by the heavy tank regiment under the 172nd Armored Brigade and the team directly under the brigade headquarters.

"The situation was already dire. Relying mainly on Ross's superb mine-laying skills, a company of three all-terrain heavy combat vehicles was blown off by anti-tank mines, and the enemy assault forces temporarily retreated.

When a large assault force of forty tanks, fifteen stealthy heavy tanks, ten infantry tanks, and three fire-backed Hellfire attack aircraft appeared in front of the formation, they faced the elite of the 172nd Armored Brigade.

It's an elite vs. elite, Mars crashing into Earth. At this level of battle, the infantry was basically unable to intervene, so the soldiers of the Hero Company were saved.

As a result of the confrontation of the armored forces, unable to gain control of the battlefield, the Proxima Centauri forcibly carried out the battle of mechanized infantry.

Subsequent additions were obtained, and the elevated positions defended by strong infantry forces became the Flesh Mill.

During the battle, the enemy used the Attacking Heavy Exoskeleton, which is mainly used in fleet engagements.

Due to the lack of military strength and experience, the defensive lines of the defending troops on the periphery of the position collapsed, and the battle became a hand-to-hand combat mode.

At the critical moment, a platoon of reinforcements from the Hero Company arrived, and with Fang Hushan's machine gun position with terrifying suppressive power, the offensive of Proxima Centauri was contained.

When I returned with the second platoon, the battle between the infantry had just ended. The two sides are still evenly matched, and the position is still in my hands.

After listening to the development of the situation, Lincoln and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"With the support of the fortress battery, or can't you open the situation?"

I asked, gesturing to the top of my head.

It's hard to imagine that the enemy is still so strong against that thing.

Could it be that the gap in combat power between the two sides is really so big?

"The use of that thing is too restrictive, and the rate of fire is slow. There are also some uses in armored duels, for the infantry, it is not as good as artillery to fight mosquitoes, and the effect is very limited. ā€

Hearing this, I sighed, "If that's the case, we're going to have a hard time going forward." ā€

The comrades-in-arms cast puzzled looks. I was reminded of Damon's assessment of the positional warning.

"This is going to die!"
