Chapter 37: Retreat

As the complex interface on the eyepiece display turned into a snowflake, several sighs were heard around it, and beyond that, there was silence and silence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The assault was a complete failure, and the hope of turning defeat into victory was also crushed by reality.

The temporary command of the armored brigade was filled with an atmosphere of indescribable decadence, and morale was extremely low.

I guess this is the case from top to bottom of the Tarsis battle group.

"Alas! ……”

Long sigh. What a mighty and majestic man, at this time he seems to have aged ten years old, showing exhaustion and vicissitudes.

When I woke up from my slumber, I was called to the temporary headquarters by the colonel. Before he could say a few words, full-range blocking jamming kicked in again.

The once-improved war situation has returned to square one.

I wanted to say comfort, but I couldn't say anything, so I could only choose to be silent.

After a long while, the colonel squeezed out a smile at me that was more ugly than crying.

"I'm sorry, I was going to thank you in person, so that I wouldn't be framed by Xiaoxiao. As a result, what you see is such an ugly state. ”

"Please don't say that, you are the most capable commander I have ever met and the most loved by the soldiers, there is a slight setback on the battlefield, as long as we all work together, we can definitely win another game under your command."

"Huh...... You say as if I am the commander of the battle group. The situation has developed to such a point. It's too late to do anything. It doesn't matter who commands it. I hope that the main fleet will move faster, otherwise Mars may ...... Disastrous. ”

The long pause in the colonel's discourse and the unthinkable description made my heart beat and jumped.

The situation was even more difficult than I had imagined.

Someone in the command finally moved, and a staff officer ran to ask the troops about their next move, and he shook his head weakly, signaling that the order to retreat would be passed on.

Without the assistance of battlefield data links and the lack of wired communication channels, it is unknown to which level the order to retreat can reach.

I couldn't help but sigh at the thought of the difficulties that the assault troops were about to face.

People are busy to varying degrees, and the sticky and gray atmosphere like a mud bath has been loosened.

However, there is an indescribable sense of loss that haunts everyone as a whole.

"Why is it ...... The sound of artillery was still heard during the review meeting, didn't it mean that the enemy's attacking troops had suffered heavy losses and could collapse at any time? ”

Faced with my question, the colonel even hunched his back.

"Humph! We can only blame ourselves for being stupid, overestimating the difficulty of analyzing frequency hopping tactics, and happily thinking that we can dominate electromagnetic control. Now that I think about it, from the very beginning of our frequency hopping tactics, the enemy may have cracked the frequency hopping spectrum distribution. ”

"No, it won't! If they haven't really lost control of the electromagnetic, why are they still so passive? In connection with our army's attack, their losses of personnel and equipment are not insignificant. ”

"Can't you see? Oh, sorry, you really don't know the level. The enemy commander is a man who is accustomed to bitter tricks, and this is not the first time that similar tactics have been used. It's a pity that our army has been fooled again and again...... We are the commanders of these gangs, and it is very appropriate to describe it as stupid. ”

"You're saying that he deliberately inflicted losses on the landing force in order to paralyze us?"

"It's pretty much what you say. His ultimate goal was a map of the troops' defensive positions. ”

"What?"

When the position collapsed, the brigade headquarters of the 172nd Brigade suffered considerable damage, and most of the command equipment was lost.

At this time, there is no drag on retreating.

The Kung Fu Temporary Command where we spoke has completed preparations for retreat.

The colonel motioned for me to share a scooter with him.

The long retreating convoy was full of spirit and decadence when it did not return.

"Tactical deployment maps can be used to guide the precision strikes of the starship's main guns. This is more reliable and efficient than a guided strike. Accurate enemy maps are a prerequisite for strategic decapitation. ”

"Strategic decapitation...... You mean...... Do they use the main guns of starships to simultaneously carry out precision strikes on the command at all levels distributed in various positions of the fortress? How is this possible! ”

The colonel closed his eyes painfully and nodded with difficulty.

“……”

Even with a positive answer, I still couldn't believe my reasoning.

If it is true, does that mean that the chain of command of the combat group, in fact, has collapsed?

Why was the 172nd Brigade not beheaded, it belongs to the elite armored assault force of the combat group, and it should be taken care of.

The convoy merged with another force, and the wide road was crowded.

Tracks, feet, wheels, all sorts of combat units, chaotically congested on the main road. The speed of travel was reduced all at once.

It can be seen that order is still there, but the disparate forces are unable to coordinate their actions, which affects everyone's movements.

I looked at the colonel, who shook his head.

"There is no way, this is the end of the matter, unless the higher-level leaders issue accurate mission procedures in time, no one can alleviate this situation. In fact......"

He leaned over and said to me in a low voice

"In fact, the rout of the troops was inevitable. After a while, it will be hit by concentrated enemy fire. ”

I could hardly believe my eyes when I looked at the way he looked like he had escaped to heaven.

How could he do that?

Shouldn't he do his best to maintain order in his troops and send the elite to cut off the whole army?

As a responsible commander, I know that I can't do it, but I have to make the last effort, which is in line with the image of the colonel in my mind.

But now, not only did he give up the troops, but he also felt that he could escape the enemy's resistance alone.

"As for my brigade headquarters, it had already suffered heavy losses when it collapsed, and they didn't use the starship main guns to carry out a second strike at all."

I don't care if Zhang Tianhao says anything more. All I wanted was to get out of here and avoid this soulless armored commander.

I excused myself to find the platoon commander to return to my life and prepare to leave.

He valued me very much, took my hand, told me to take care, and after retreating, I went to the 172nd Brigade to find him, and I must thank Yunyun again.

I had no intention of staying any longer, and after taking my leave in a hurry, I immediately returned to look for my troops.

However, in the vast retreating ranks, it was so difficult to find a disabled platoon-level establishment.

There was no one to maintain order, and even the internal affairs troops were mixed with the retreating army with the ranks.

All roads were blocked by retreating teams, and I had to fight against the flow of traffic and people to get to what was once a central position.

Some roads were still very smooth when they came, but they were already staggering by this time.

I asked all the way, there were mechanized infantry of the 112 mixed brigade, and there was a heavy tank battalion of the 1413 armored division.

I suddenly remembered that the 2205th Division was only on duty with our spy company, and most of them were still stationed in place, how could I meet them.

I patted my head and yelled at myself for being stupid.

The spy company has been following the 172 Brigade Headquarters before, and it may have been next to Zhang Tianhao's convoy just now.

Looking back, looking at the vast road ahead, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I thought I was mentally stable, but in fact I was affected by the defeat and retreated, so that I made a low-level mistake in my soul.

If you are attacked by the enemy at this time, you will probably lose your life in a daze.

As for myself and others, I really can't be optimistic about the prospects of the fighting group.

A low, unusual engine sound came from mid-air, and when I looked up, the blood-colored sky was empty.

Familiar and unfamiliar feelings came to my mind, and I subconsciously took off my assault rifle, but I was a little puzzled why I did it.

The first round of explosions came from armored vehicles at road nodes, as well as anti-aircraft tracked vehicles mixed in with the convoy.

The pop irritated my eardrums and made me feel like I was plunging headlong into icy water.

It's a banshee attack plane, an old opponent.

Why am I so sluggish?

I knew that even if I reacted in time, I couldn't change anything if I had a few tens of seconds to respond, but I still couldn't forgive myself.

As a veteran, I failed to warn in time. And many of these allies will be counted on my head.

The explosion lifted the heavy chariot high, sending parts and the corpses of its members flying through the air.

The waves of air swept down the infantry, dismembering the living bodies like splinters and blades.

Under the sudden air raid, this place has become a Shura field.

The warriors screamed and tried to dodge the roadbed, but were blocked by friendly forces, and soon they crossed into the realm of death in droves.

In mid-air, more than a dozen Banshee attack planes appeared and disappeared from time to time, and each time they appeared, they would set off a bloody storm on the ground.

"Damn, where did our attack aircraft go?"

Hiding behind the chassis of a destroyed tank, I whined loudly into the air, as if someone there was responsible for the tragic situation of Shura.

"Where did the recruits come from, our attack planes were wiped out in the airfield by railguns two days ago, how can there be air cover."

The tankmen who were hiding behind the chassis with me rebuked me without cutting me.

He looked like he was looking for something.

"I'm not a rookie, I've just slept too long, what are you looking for? Don't run for your life yet. ”

The explosion was so deafening that I could only communicate with him by shouting.

"Good boy, you haven't been cowardly at this time, you are a veteran. I'm looking for an air defense car, I can't let these fly around my head, you can help! ”

The tankmen roared back.

I suddenly felt no longer afraid. There are still people who want to fight back, and we haven't lost yet.

The tank soldier didn't look at me after yelling, and turned over and jumped out of the roadbed.

I didn't hesitate to follow.
