In the distance, in the command post temporarily selected by the division headquarters of the 1st Armored Division of the Praetorian Guards near Shimizudai, several non-commissioned officers in charge of radio operations were nervously busy in front of the equipment that was not much smaller than the current drum washing machine. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThese radios are very powerful, but they are also "very powerful", they don't have many functions, and obviously concepts such as integration are not popular in this era.

The sheer size of the device gives them the ability to communicate over long distances, at least next to the truck where it is placed, and a special antenna is a full four meters tall. Relying on this antenna, the commanders of the Ming army were able to send the message somewhere ten kilometers away, or receive the desired information from that far away.

"Sir! 3 minutes ago, we received a message from a missing Janissary armored unit...... Near the Pu River, they repeatedly signaled that they had captured an enemy bridge and needed reinforcements. "A non-commissioned officer handed the somewhat inexplicable message received by the radio station to his commander, an officer on duty in charge of radio communication equipment.

There were no corresponding radio officers in the Praetorian Guard, and these officers were trained by the New Army. Although they can't go to the front line and kill the enemy by all means, they are still the most sought-after experts in the army.

The officer took the rough record from his man, frowned after reading it, and then took the sketchy record form in his hand for post-mortem checking, and thought for about a few seconds.

He had to be cautious about this radio communication record from the front line, after all, the location of this radio communication was a little too strange - now most of the Ming soldiers had stopped continuing the attack, most of them were camping, and the troops on the front line were setting up improvised defensive positions to prevent the Jin rebels from organizing a counterattack at night.

Of course, the farthest advance of these troops, the unit that can be contacted and can be effectively commanded, is an armored unit of the Praetorian Guards 3 kilometers west of Shimizudai, which belongs to the main force of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Armored Division of the Praetorian Guard.

Now the Ming army is also in chaos because the speed of the attack is too fast, and the large area that has just been recaptured is full of various troops waiting for supplies. The roadside was littered with prisoners who had been escorted to the outskirts of Tieling, as well as tanks and cars paralyzed by breakdowns.

After all, this is the first time in human history that large-scale armored forces have been used to carry out a partial breakthrough, after all, this is the first time in human history that more than three types of tanks and armored vehicles (tank No. 1, assault guns, self-propelled guns) have been used to carry out assault operations. Therefore, there is no standard for reference in all procedures, and the entire huge group army headquarters of the entire New Army has set up 100 emergency response teams for all kinds of random problems, but the result is still overstretched.

"Sir! I think it must be a malfunction on the machine, or maybe some unit is using the wrong map and thinks it's ...... near the Pu River," the non-commissioned officer who presented the telegram record cautiously reminded his commander, only to find that the other party was still silent, thinking about the trade-offs.

After more than ten seconds, the officer on duty in the radio mailroom finally made up his mind, and he waved his hand to his men, signaling them to go to work. Immediately after that, he instructed and said, "If you receive such news again, be sure to record it all...... If the location is still Puhe, report directly to the division commander's office. In addition, if some troops say that they have just reported the wrong position, and the one that mentions Puhe is also submitted, understand? ”

After making sure that his subordinates had written down the explanation, the officer took the record and walked to the temporary command office of the division headquarters not far away, where the tent had been set up. The so-called office is nothing more than a temporary area composed of two trucks with diesel generators, some command equipment, and a few tents, only the division commander and the chief of staff have their own independent rest tents, and most of the others are busy in noisy cars.

After all, there were too many things to be dealt with by the division headquarters, and now it has been confirmed that about 3,000 people are missing or cannot be contacted, and they have successfully abducted about 700 soldiers of all kinds from friendly forces - Fan Ming is one of them.

Of the remaining more than 10,000 troops, half of them were still on the rear road, waiting in the villages and wilderness halfway through, many of them waiting for supplies that were destined not to arrive tonight. Interestingly, most of their supplies are still on the other side of the river, because of the scheduling and transportation capacity, the logistics troops of the Ming army are panicking to move these things to where they are needed.

The radio officer walked up behind the division commander, who was looking at a detailed map of the nearby area on the side of the truck, and heard the officers on either side arranging various jobs for his men.

"Confirm the location of all the scouts! I want to know as soon as possible that the main force of the rebels is still not east of the Pu River! Gather these scouts as much as you can, confirm them and send them out, I want exact information, not speculation, not analysis! Got it? The chief of staff commanded with his fingers crossed to the officers in charge of the reconnaissance.

On the other side, the commander of the 1st Panzer Regiment was standing in front of the division commander and was pointing to various positions on the map, saying where all the troops he could find had advanced to: "Sir...... One of my companies had set up a defensive position here, they didn't encounter a large group of rebels, they were short of ammunition, and it was too late to continue the attack...... We are still some distance from the Pu River, and we may not be able to get there today. ”

The radio officer stepped forward, saluted and sang loudly: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!" His greeting attracted the attention of the division commander, who looked away from the map and looked at the radio officer, who was still saluting, and waved his hand to signal that he was ready.

After the salute, the radio officer hurriedly handed the document in his hand to the division commander who was holding his chin with his hand and didn't know how to be good, and explained: "Sir! We have just received a request for support from the east bank of the Po River, where a unit claims to be on a bridge over the Po River and needs troop support. (To be continued.) )
