Chapter 142: Sandstorm Warning
"What's going on? Why did the rate of advance of tank units drop so much? Go ask ......."
Inside the command vehicle, Steff stared at the light point of the locator and asked anxiously, the sky was full of yellow sand, he could no longer see the action status of the troops through the telescope, and could only judge the battle situation through the network fixed-point.
"Report to General Steff, the tank unit is under attack by the Chikasiu special forces. They can't see anything now, they can only be forced to be beaten......"
"Gertanf, send the Scorpion troops out to clear the way for the tank troops!"
The battlefield on the front line quickly evolved from a one-sided battle to a restrained cross-fight between the various arms. Under normal circumstances, Staeff has a diverse range of troops and plenty of troops. Victory is a matter of time. However, this is a race for time, and diversifying the battle will inevitably waste more time, which is a situation that is simply unacceptable to the Kewei side.
According to Steff's idea, if at this time, the army can be crushed by the method of reducing ten meetings with one force, and directly defeating the three forces of Monanda is the best battle plan. However, the yellow sand in the sky obstructed the line of sight, and also hindered the speed of the advance of the 200,000 elite troops.
Chikasiu's troops became a nightmare for tanks, elusive as if they were everywhere, inflicting massive casualties on tank units all the time. In less than two hours after the attack on the tank unit, almost a hundred tanks were scrapped. Casualties were secondary, and most importantly they managed to hold back the tank forces.
"Report to the Great General, General Steff's tank unit has been seriously disturbed by the Chicaxiu Division, and now the battle situation is very unfavorable, and it has been two hours. General Steff's advance distance was less than three hundred meters! β
"Bastard!" Kewei angrily smashed the ashtray in his hand, "Less than three hundred meters in two hours? Then it doesn't take ten days and a half to advance to the gold mine position? And what about the chariot troops? I don't believe that the chariot unit assists the tank sprint, and my 200,000 elite troops can't defeat this rabble? β
The battle lasted from eight o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening, and with a charge at all costs, General Steff finally advanced his troops to two kilometers north of the gold mines. And this time is also the time when the battle between the two sides is the most intense. People on both sides have already killed red eyes, and when the shells run out, they shoot, and even if the bullets float to an unknown place under the influence of a hurricane, they don't care.
"Report to the general, General Steff sent good news, our army paid 70,000 casualties under the fierce charge of death, but in the end it was advanced by our army to a position two kilometers from the gold mine. Now the enemy's resistance was unusually fierce, and the bullets on both sides were almost gone. However, our army is still confident that it will occupy the gold mine before dawn tomorrow and complete the combat goal! β
"Great, Steff didn't disappoint me!"
And Mo Ziqi, who was in the dormitory, also intercepted this information through the hammer for the first time, "It seems that I still underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Kewei troops, such a fierce battle has been fought for two days and one night without showing fatigue." It seems that it is not for nothing that Kewei is called the strongest force! β
"Moseley, if Covey really wins the war according to his own tactical situation, it may have a very bad impact on your position in the future."
"No, it won't!" Mo Ziqi said firmly: "As a soldier, whether we use my plan or not, victory is our ultimate goal!" What's more, they did not act according to my plan and lost seventy thousand elite fighters in vain. Kewei also knows this. Therefore, he will only rely more on my planning reference in the future. Of course, it was also my negligence that I did not understand their combat effectiveness. β
"Z-z-" Suddenly the hammer trembled, and when the spirit was connected, it even used vibration to remind him that he must have received more important information.
"What's wrong?"
"Moseley, there's good news and bad news, which one would you like to hear?"
"Don't talk nonsense, talk about it!"
"The good news is that you don't have to worry about your status in the future, because I estimate that Kewei will never dare to tamper with your battle plan casually in the future!"
As soon as Mo Ziqi heard this, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, what kind of good news is this, it is clear that the combat target may be shattered......
"Say it! Don't sell me off. β
"The sandstorm warning is coming, and now the sandstorm has formed in the Sully Desert, which is moving eastward, and is expected to arrive here in three hours. That is, the front-line battlefield must end immediately, otherwise, two hundred thousand troops are guaranteed that no one will survive! β
"Damn it!" Mo Ziqi rolled over from the bed, opened the door and ran towards the command room.
"Report to the general...... "The inspector suddenly stood up with a pale face, and looked at Kewei hesitantly, not daring to speak.
"What's wrong? Say it! β
"The sandstorm is coming...... Three...... In three hours, you will be at the scene of General Steff's battle......"
"What?" It was as if a flash of lightning exploded in Coway's ears, "The sandstorm is coming?" Why? Why did it come so quickly? It's just two kilometers away, and you only need to advance another two kilometers to win...... Why? β
Suddenly, Coway's expression became crazy, and he grabbed the inspector's collar and lifted it, "You tell me, you're lying to me, aren't you?" You were bought by Meanda? You're lying to me, aren't you? β
"Big ...... General...... I...... I've verified it three times...... Absolutely true...... Sandstorm...... Here it ......."
"General, calm down!" Kerero stopped the frantic Covey, "You are our FΓΌhrer, you have lost your cool and let your brothers do what?" Now Steff was still rolling in the blood on the front lines, and he didn't know anything about the sandstorm coming. It's up to you to decide whether to retreat or continue to fight! β
Covey was persuaded by Crero to finally calm down, "Steff is still fighting...... Right! Sandstorm still has three hours to arrive, and it's still too late, it's still too late! Ordered, Steff's troops were immediately out of the battle and returned as soon as they were safe...... Order, the missile force is immediately ready to launch, the coordinate location is where the gold mine is, and when Staeff retreats to a safe distance, he will immediately strike in a range! β
The order was passed to the front, and at first, Steff thought Covey was crazy. Seeing that victory is in sight, you tell me to withdraw from the army? Without thinking, Steff tore the command paper to shreds.
However, within a minute, Covey issued eight orders to withdraw in a row. Steff finally realizes the seriousness of the situation. But he still asked for a reason unwillingly. Covey sent a telegram to shatter Steff's unwillingness.
"The sandstorm is coming, and I'll be there in three hours!"
This reason is enough, a gold mine, a steady development in the next five years, where is it more important than the survival of 200,000 troops? The only remaining shells were blasted out. The dense firepower attack blinded the group of Mo Anda, why didn't you use such a strong firepower?
The ensuing scene stunned the three forces of Meanda, and Steff actually withdrew his troops when victory was in sight. Although the action is small, although it is done very hidden. But it is indeed a retreat and a slow departure from the battlefield.
Half an hour later, after the formation was converted, Steff's more than 200,000 troops quickly withdrew to the north. I ran faster than I came.
"Withdrawn? We...... We won ......"
The soldiers who couldn't believe it cheered unpassionately, and vented their joy with all their crazy actions.
"Wait! Why did they withdraw their troops? Chikasius abruptly interrupted Monanda's wild laughter.
"yes, why?"
"Boom-" A sudden explosion of thunder lit up the entire sky. Thunder is not a situation of lightning slashing from the sky, but condensing into a thunderball that explodes in the clouds. The sound was much stronger than the simultaneous explosion of a thousand shells.
"Thunderstorm! Oh no, the sandstorm is coming! Quick, let's get out of hereβ"
The three forces that reacted quickly organized a retreat, and if they did not hide in a safe position before the sandstorm arrived, they would surely die.
"Report to the general, our army has successfully evacuated, and now it is rushing back in a straight line......"
"Very good, missile forces launched!"
"Whoosh ......"
Countless missiles burst into the sky with flames, streaking across the sky like meteors.
"Report to the General, there was a thunderstorm near the gold mine just now, and the navigation and positioning device buried in the gold mine was burned down, and we can't do a precise strike!"
"Then manually control, the range covers the ...... of the strike"
"It's useless!" The door of the command room was pushed open by Mo Ziqi, and Mo Ziqi stepped into the door of the command room with a solemn face, and coldly glanced at Kewei, who was full of embarrassment.
"The air pressure is so low that the thundercloud layer is less than 300 meters above the ground. In order for a missile to fly to a given position, it must pass through a cumulus cloud. The clouds are full of lightning, and you don't think these backward missiles of yours will explode when attacked by lightning? β
"Boom, boom, boomβ" The thunder exploded again, accompanied by the sound of an explosion.
"Oh no, General, the missiles we launched have all exploded in the air after being attacked by lightning......"
"What...... Covey sat back in his seat, "what would happen to me if the gold mine was still there?" β
"Actually, you have three fatal weaknesses that I haven't told you, and I know that you won't listen to them. Forget the first two, and he will definitely be able to catch the third weakness Tao Qian.
There are fifteen oil wells in your sphere of influence, and in order to protect the oil wells, you will divide your forces into fifteen army groups to protect the oil fields. Moreover, there is a fast communication channel between the group armies. When one is attacked, other nearby legions will be the first to come to the rescue. But such measures do not suit Babylon today.
You see the benefits of oil, and so do other powers. You are guarding the oil fields, and you are bound to become a cake in the eyes of all forces. If one side of the forces attack, of course you can face it calmly, but what if there are fifteen enemies? Or how about a few enemy soldiers attacking your army group in fifteen directions?
General Covey, you are the strongest force though. But your strength is divided into fifteen parts. Just defeat you one by one, the strongest, and sooner or later you will be removed from Babylon. Fifteen group armies, together invincible, divided into fifteen parts, that is, fifteen rabble! (To be continued.) )
