Volume 3: The Struggle of the Last Days Chapter 161 is in full swing
"The straight-line distance from the Haoshan base to the camp is two hundred and thirty-seven kilometers, and the maximum range of the Iroquois is four hundred and ninety-three kilometers, plus the external weapons, after loading the soldiers, the range is about four hundred and sixty-five kilometers, plus the fuel required to cooperate with the attack in the air, they need to refuel in Mingsha or Changling, otherwise, they can't fly back to Haoshan."
"There are five or six 10-ton tanker trucks full of jet fuel in Changling. Can it solve the problem? ”
The commander of the air detachment frowned, but soon, he nodded: "It's okay." ”
Wei Yilin grabbed a few magnets and pasted them on the blackboard: "There are about hundreds of them, but the weapons are mostly knives, bows, and shotguns, and there are almost no standard weapons, but there is one point, they will drive the group of infected people to fight, we have to be careful." This news surprised others, after all, there are not many people in this room who can talk and laugh with the infected.
"Our advantage is that we have air supremacy, we can strike at them from the air, and we are equipped with guns that can suppress them, but there is one thing, we are not familiar with the layout in this lakeside camp, once we enter a state of hand-to-hand combat, casualties, may rise sharply." As a result, it was a man named Liu Yuanjun, who was originally the squadron leader of the Ningshan Squadron of the Hometown Defense Regiment, but now he has become a staff officer of the garrison.
"Let's do it first and predict what the casualties will be."
"Okay."
Wei Yilin handed Liu Yuanjun the form he had just picked up from the logistics office so that they could calculate the number of troops that the garrison could dispatch. As for how many people are in the lakeside camp, the reconnaissance team sent out by Jia Zhongquan has never been able to give a clear figure, this is because this lake valley is basically under the shade of forests, and there are very few things that can be observed on the mountain, and there are only two paths in this lake valley, one in front and one behind, so it has become very unrealistic to let them go down to reconnoitre.
A few days ago, a team of about 30 people came out of this camp, and they drove two trucks in the direction of Lijiang City, because the trucks were open-topped, so the weapons in their hands, the reconnaissance team could see clearly, mainly knives and axes, and some people were holding bows and arrows. It seems that cold weapons should be the common equipment of the people in the camp.
Soon, Liu Yuanjun and others made a battle plan, and two Iroquois with rocket launchers acted as the vanguard, first using rockets to blow up the places Wei Yilin saw that night - the shack by the lake valley, the building near the stage, and the dozen or so bungalows at the back door, and then, the garrison members rushed to the lakeside camp from both sides of the road at the same time, in the process, the two Iroquois would hover overhead, using the remaining rockets and airborne machine guns to provide cover for the garrison.
But the path behind the scenic spot, on both sides of the mountains and forests, as long as there is a secret outpost, it will be easy to bring casualties to the garrison attacking from this point, for example, on the other side of the stone bridge to place an archer, you can block the garrison attacking from there at the bridge, dilemma, in contrast, from the open front door, it is much smoother.
Wei Yilin, who was sitting in the center of the deduction, naturally saw this clearly, it took four rounds to kill the archer on the other side of the bridge, and caused the price of six casualties to the garrison, although a few times it was only injured, not fatal, but considering that these blood-worshipping remnants are very likely to smear the blood of the infected on the knife and arrow to increase the lethality, so, in fact, these six people are more difficult than all the deaths,
Because there is no medicine to cure this disease, if these wounded people are killed on the spot, the morale of the army may be ...... But it's impossible to bring them back, after all, no one wants to stay with a time bomb that can't be defused!
In contrast, the progress ahead was much smoother, and because it had been washed by rockets, the remnants of the blood worshippers there basically surrendered without any resistance. Of course, Jia Zhongquan will not want these surrenders, because first, their actions have actually caused the split of the Federation, and second, their words and deeds are more terrifying than this, and keeping them is equivalent to planting a Tsar Bomba that will explode at any time in Ren'an!
"The approximate exchange ratio, eighty to one. Our casualties are estimated at around 20 people. Four hours later, Liu Yuanjun looked tired and said, "They estimate that nearly half of them will surrender." We are expected to consume 36 rockets and 5,900 rounds of guns. ”
"So much?"
"The rate of fire of this aviation machine gun can reach nearly 1,000 rounds per minute, and the reserve ammunition of a single machine is 1,500 rounds, with two strikers and one support. Add to that the consumption of the garrison, and that's the number. "What Liu Yuanjun said is reasonable and well-founded, but I just don't know, how Jia Zhongquan will feel when he sees this news? After all, all of a sudden, a quarter of Ringan's ammunition reserves were used!
Wei Yilin nodded, quickly brushed Liu Yuanjun's words in his mind, and continued: "After resting for a while, deduce a few more times to see if there is a way to minimize casualties and ammunition consumption." ”
"Okay."
On the other end, Jia Zhongquan is looking for trouble with Hong Caijun, it turns out that in order to show closeness, Jia Zhongquan gave Hong Caijun the position of logistics director, that is to say, the expenditure of grain, grass and ammunition must all go through Hong Caijun's hands, this thing sounds like a fat shortage, but in fact, it is a gas bag, because, Ren'an's armed forces are all in Jia Zhongquan's hands, as the saying goes, if there is no food, there will be no troops, therefore, Jia Zhongquan's requirements for his officers, that is a generosity, give everything, but the problem is, This logistics office is not a treasure bag!
The officers couldn't get enough things, so they naturally grabbed Hong Caijun, a weak literati, and held on to it. After all, no matter what, everyone is eating in the same pot, and it looks indignant, but in fact, everyone knows that this is also to make an appearance for the soldiers below and calm down their grievances. But today is different, Jia Zhongquan wants these people to work hard, and the promised things must be given enough.
First of all, there is the problem of eating, the meal before the death row prisoner was beheaded still had wine and meat, today, you make people go to work hard. You can't feed bran again, right? What do the soldiers want to eat? Quite simply, meat! It doesn't matter if you're fat or thin, after all, you all know what the current situation is, but it must be! After all, this war consumes a very large amount of physical strength, and if you don't have enough to eat, your combat effectiveness will naturally be greatly reduced.
But this is not too demanding, but it also forced Hong Caijun to scold Jia Zhongquan: If you don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. It turned out that it was now May, and nearly half of the grain in the granary of Xiaobeihe had been eaten, but the seedlings in the field had always shown a lifeless appearance due to the lack of rain. Therefore, in order to save food as much as possible, Hong Caijun has signaled the people in the subsistence distribution center to reduce the daily ration of the residents, from two meals to one and one-third of the meals. so that it can be supported a little longer.
But now as soon as Liu Xiaoyi came, he opened his mouth widely, and he wanted Hong Caijun to meet the military requirements, Hong Caijun couldn't help but be dumbfounded, not only to six times the existing supply of rice, but also to kill his baby pig! Quan Ren'an's pigs, a total of seventy-six, of which healthy and fat, about forty, now, Liu Xiaoyi is going to kill two healthy big fat pigs at a time!
Is this still worth it? Hong Caijun instantly turned into a miser, holding the account book deadly, not nodding his head, the calm and elegant literati appearance of the past has completely disappeared, replaced by a ghostly businessman, I really don't know, is the time when the logistics director changed him, or the work of the logistics director made him reveal his original form.
"Hey no, Hong Administration, these two pigs, divide them, and each person will only have two or three yuan, you are too picky, right? Why don't you give me a hundred chickens? ”
"Go, go!" Hong Caijun's shining "small" eyes blinked, and his right hand danced like a windmill, "I have more than 300 chickens, all holding them and waiting for the eggs to be laid, and what about hatching chicks, as soon as you open your mouth now, ask me for a hundred?" ”
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyi took another step back: "Or, half a cow is fine?" ”
How do you know, Hong Caijun immediately jumped three feet high: "I said Lord Liu, this cow is the lifeblood of the farmer's family, if you kill it, how can this field be planted?" This peasant, don't kill me first. ”
Liu Xiaoyi knocked on the desk: "Executive Hong, you make us very embarrassed like this, this soldier will not be as polite as me when he turns his face." ”
"I know, I know. But this ban on meat was ordered by Commander Jia, and the original intention was not to let these animals breed more, so that everyone could eat meat during the New Year's holidays in the future? You've come here to ask for so much, really, alas......"
Hong Caijun just lowered his head, and suddenly a golden light flashed in his eyes, as if he had an idea: "Hey, why don't you kill some dogs for you to eat?" ”
Liu Xiaoyi pouted at him: "How many dogs do you have enough to eat?" These hundreds. ”
"So, why don't you lose some people?"
The two pushed back and forth, quarreled for a long time, and were stunned that they couldn't reach an agreement, which pushed to the end, and as soon as the two discussed, they simply pushed this to Jia Zhongquan and asked him to deal with it. But after Jia Zhongquan finished listening to the explanation of the two, his head also grew instantly: How can this be a commander and still be a nanny? After thinking about it, he also felt that it would be better to reduce the number of people on the expedition, after all, it was six times the usual amount of food, which was really scary.
But in this way, the big ones are Wei Yilin, Liu Yuanjun and others, because as soon as the number of people on this expedition decreases, the burden on everyone's shoulders will be much heavier, and the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us will become very different. But in this way, there will be a lot of accidents, because in this war, although it is said that the war is about the economy, intelligence, equipment, contingencies, etc., but in fact, as long as you can show enough troops, more than ten times that of the opponent, then the above things, even if they are all disadvantages, do not necessarily mean that the other side can win a decisive victory.
And now, after the reduction of the number of personnel, this garrison is likely to face this situation. But on the contrary, if this battle fails to achieve a decisive victory, the leader of the camp will be killed, then this operation will be a failure, because they can continue to demagoguery in a different place.
Big head, big head, big head!!
