Chapter 133: Raid Vientiane War (1)
The communication situation in the early years of the IC was worse than in the A.D. period. People living in Green Island may not be aware of it, because with the laying of the magnetic track line, large wired communication base stations will also be laid to the new Green Island, and intersect in several large hubs, global integration. However, without the assistance of satellites, the lack of long-range communication mode is an indisputable fact, once leaving the Green Island, only the army and the government can barely use some radio facilities that shuttle through magnetic tracks, and the signals obtained are poor, while civilians do not enjoy any form of communication convenience at all.
- "People Living in the Early Years of IC", IC 67, Tyran.0 Golan
IC64, Aug, 1, 10:47 a.m., Vientiane, Magnetic Rail Train Station.
Compared to Vientiane's size, her train station is huge and bloated, with 12 rough sub-track platforms neatly arranged under the oval silver translucent curtain wall, the dome is densely packed with gantry cranes, and the platforms are flanked by conveyor belts of the same width as the tracks.
It is a freight station, and with the exception of Platform 1, which is slightly decorated, the entire station has a strong utilitarian style, which is very different from Maori architecture.
It was nearly 11 o'clock, the station was gradually getting hot under the scorching sun, and the platform was bustling, and the soldiers on patrol were holding guns, sweating, and looking in the direction of the station from time to time.
Vientiane had closed the station completely since the general offensive began on 25 July, meaning that the only visitor to the area before the end of the civil war was the Maori Expeditionary Force, which should have arrived more than half an hour earlier.
Finally, the walkie-talkie of the battalion commander on duty rang: "Battalion Commander Li, the Maori are here, and the 4 special trains are placed on platforms 6 to 9 according to the plan." β
"Roger." Li Yingsha responded in a hoarse voice, and at the same time raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and the platform was silent for a moment, and the scattered soldiers ran and returned to their respective posts, standing upright, and turning in unison, facing the direction of the pit stop.
"The incoming vehicle confirms that the Royal Ribbon Fish is about to enter platform 8, the vehicle slows down, the guide wheel opens, the auxiliary engine starts, and the vehicle enters the station."
The soft sound of the announcement echoed over the station, but it could not hide the stunned expressions on the faces of the waiting soldiers.
The Emperor Ribbon Fish approached slowly, and the rows of guide wheels were embedded in the orbit, bursting out a puff of sparks.
Battalion Commander Li turned around, didn't care about wiping the sweat that almost flowed into his eyes, and shouted in a suppressed voice: "Command tower! Didn't you say there were four! Why only one! β
"Battalion Commander Li, something is wrong! After entering the sub-track, the other 3 cars suddenly braked and stopped at the entrance of the sub-track, about 3 kilometers away from the station, and only the Emperor Ribbon Fish entered the station as planned. β
"How so!"
"The reason is unknown, we are communicating, we are communicating! Wait a minute! What is that? β
"Damn! What what! Battalion Commander Li looked up and saw dozens of black dots flying out of the entrance that was supposed to enter the train. The black dot expanded rapidly, and with the propellers on top of it, black aircraft the size of a human head passed between the gantry cranes in the dome. Battalion Commander Li was shocked and shouted: "Monitor the aircraft!" Fight! β
Boom Boom! The Emperor's Ribbon Fish, which had not yet been steady, burst continuously, and the doors, windows, and even the walls of the carriage exploded at the same time, and the soldiers waiting on the platform had no time to react, and suffered heavy casualties in an instant. Immediately after, hundreds of black shadows flew out of the breach and rushed towards the nearest opponent.
Only three or two of the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the first round of attacks had time to pull the trigger, but they didn't hit anything, and the warriors attacked with all their might, and the long and short cold weapons were intertwined, and in this situation, even keeping the whole corpse became a luxury, and they were picked up in front of Battalion Commander Li, rising into the air, shattering into fragments, blood raining down, and scattering in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers on the platform were cleared, and the shadows did not stop for a moment, and with a whistle, they scattered and rushed to all corners of the station.
"Captain! The plan has been recognized! Hurry up and let the brothers ......" Battalion Commander Li, who was a little far away from the Emperor's Ribbon Fish, did not live a few seconds longer than his soldiers, and a powerful steel arrow roared out, piercing through the center of the eyebrows, and the high-speed rotating arrow pierced the skull, piercing the entire head into pieces.
At the station, gunshots rang out like popping beans.
On the Emperor's Ribbon Fish, the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment of Bergasus, the second-order martial artist Jeff Roddick, sat on the seat of the command vehicle of the fourth company, frowning and silent.
"Battalion commander, the first wave of attacks has worked well, and according to feedback, no one on our side was injured, and the enemy's decoy battalion was completely annihilated." Behind him, the adjutant quickly operated the tactical computer, where there was feedback on the situation of the entire second battalion and all 27 squads.
"Is the detachment in place to control the conning tower?"
"The four companies, 2 platoons and 3 squads have begun to break down, the conning tower is not a military facility, and it is expected that the conning tower can be controlled within 1 minute."
"You have to speed up, if the conning tower is not controlled, no action of the main force can escape the eyes of the other party! In addition, the auxiliary equipment was forcibly unloaded, and I asked them to form a battle formation as quickly as possible, keep moving, and not deform. β
"It's been delivered."
"Also, let those bunnies take it easy! There were less than 2 regiments of ambush soldiers in the station, and they were all our hostages, and if the progress was too fast, they would collapse us and the defeated soldiers together. β
"Yes!" The adjutant felt that his entire back was drenched with sweat, and just now he was so pleased with the slight loss that he almost forgot that the entire second battalion and the Emperor Ribbon Fish were in the enemy's ambush circle, and he couldn't tell how many artillery pieces were outside with their barrels aimed here.
As it turned out, Roddick's reminder was timely, and the intensity of the 2nd Battalion's assault gradually decreased, and more and more fighters found cover, put away their handy cold weapons, and switched to a stalemate with rifles with the enemy throughout the station, only those who were in the field of long-range warriors still intervened from time to time, pulling out those machine gun points with strong firepower.
After all, the separatist ambush force had a huge numerical advantage, and after entering the stalemate, the firepower was brought into play, and judging from the scene, it finally gained the upper hand, and the second battalion began to suffer casualties.
48 seconds into the battle, the 4th Company and 2nd Platoon occupied the command room of the command tower and began to disperse and clear up. In 4 minutes and 57 seconds, the unloading of auxiliary equipment was completed, the thermal imaging system was activated, Roddick's command screen flashed, and the entire station came into view.
"Position of the exit ......" Roddick's hand moved down the screen, and finally the point was about 500 meters north of Platform 8, "Order, lift the ban by force, all departments move north, shield guards rush forward, behind the fire tower, free attack, full speed forward!" β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
"Fragmentation grenade, two rounds of reloading!"
"Grenade two-round reload!"
"Shoot clearly, shoot two shots in a row, let's go!"
"The target is clear! Two bursts, shoot! β
Boom! Boom! In the smoke and dust, the steel beasts slowly drove out, and the auxiliary weapons, which represented the strength of MΔori's conventional warfare, began to show their great adaptability, slowly but surely moving towards their destination between the deep trench-like train tracks.
Eight slender spider-like training wheels poke out from the bottom of these vehicles, lifting the bodies and jumping off the tracks, and the warriors scattered forward, scouting and killing, with a clear role. This was actually the most suitable fighting environment for Bergasus, closed and relatively empty, and if there was no unknown heavy firepower force a few kilometers away, the 2nd Battalion could simply rely on the environment here to swallow the two regiments responsible for the ambush with a very small number of casualties.
Unfortunately, that force almost certainly existed, and that was what Roddick had feared the most from the beginning to the end.
"Won't you report the colonel on the state of the battle?"
"Considering the possibility of being monitored, the colonel must have given the radio silence order, all we have to do is to carry it out according to the plan, as for the result, let it be fate, according to the experience that has been there, my luck is still quite good." Roddick pretended to laugh lightly, "Have the troops taken back?" β
"Except for a few scout squads, everyone else has been dispersed to rest, and all the wounded have been contained."
"Let the troops speed up, our speed is a little slow."
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
Vientiane Main Ring Road, a large warehouse located about 3 km from the station.
This is the former enemy command post of the separatist forces of the Pacific Rim Alliance, and the battle situation in full swing in the station is only a faint sound of artillery here, which is very sparse, video, audio, and all monitoring methods will lose their effect soon after the war starts inside the station, and Maori will guard against the opponent's radio listening, and naturally there will be enough restrictions on monitoring. After 20 years of peace, Maori's armament has too many mysteries in the eyes of the world, and the Mayan War I has solved a little, but everyone knows that this is only the tip of the iceberg. At least for now, MΔori's auxiliaries also have strong anti-surveillance capabilities.
The magnetic rail train station has almost turned into an information black hole, what happened to the two regiments in ambush? In addition to the Emperor Ribbon Fish, which was the first station in Maori, did the other trains enter the station last? These information-based things that must be understood have become question marks that linger in the minds of commanders at all levels of the separatist forces.
"Have you contacted Captain Luma?" The speaker was Lieutenant General Hideo Kinoshita, who is known as a "strategic wizard once in 3,000 years," former deputy director of the Defense Department of the Pacific Rim Alliance, and also the military commander-in-chief of the separatist forces.
"Signal interference, never able to connect."
"What about wired contact?"
"After the fall of the conning tower, the opposing side destroyed the wired terminal, and the conning tower is not a military facility, and there is no hidden backup terminal......"
"It's only 3 kilometers away, and we don't know anything about the station, right?" Kinoshita interrupted the report of the director of the communications room with a wave of his hand, his eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes...... It's our incompetence ......"
"You don't have to confess to me, your confession should be for the 4,000 soldiers who participated in the ambush."
"Got it! When they return, I will personally go and apologize! β
"You don't have to wait for them to come back, you can cut yourself." Kinoshita turned around and looked in the direction of the station. If this were a tall building, you might be able to see the battle going on there.
"General......
"Judge yourself, they won't be coming back."
After a long time, the director of the communications room finally left in despair. A moment later, a short gunshot rang out, and Kinoshita Hideo didn't move.
"Order, let Gula take over the post of director of the communications room, artillery unit...... Implement Plan 1. β
Let's hope this order is timely enough. Is it true that there is a determination to annihilate the whole army? Maori, well deserved.
