Chapter 130: Support
Wang Hao assigned the last squad to the left flank, and at the same time the squad that commanded Dimitri had to move from the front to the left rear, and the other four squads should be fanned out among them.
This is a standard phalanx, which has been tested several times in actual combat, and Wang Hao has simulated countless times in his heart how to complete it quickly.
Wang Hao ordered with the non-commissioned officer line: "Dimitri! Old Mai! Disperse formations. ”
"Received by the first detachment!"
"Second detachment received!"
"The detachment leader went into action...... Take care of each recruit. You're going to meet a lot of 'jackal' guys. I don't want them to be killed by mistake! Then Wang Hao connected the communication line of the deputy platoon commander and said: "Rezenov, have you come into contact with the change of guard force over there?" ”
"Yes, sir. They have seen me, and they have seen you. "Finally, there is good news, now that time is precious, Wang Hao really has no way to waste it on things like 'Let's stop the team and smoke a bag of cigarettes and set off!' The reason for this bullshit is on.
"Good. I don't get a distress signal here, what about yours? ”
"I'm missing here, too."
In fact, Wang Hao had not been able to receive the signal sent back by the 'Jackal Platoon' since two minutes ago, but Dimitri's scouts had not yet sent back a report. Originally, there was a glimmer of hope, but I didn't receive the signal for various reasons. But now it seems that the 'jackal platoon' may be more than lucky.
“…… Tell Dimitri where he is. Let him inform the scouts in front...... Let them set up a new semaphore. ”
That place was in the front left corner of Wang Hao, and it was the meeting point of the three regiments. Wang Hao didn't know if the signal was broken or the signal was jammed, or if everyone was fighting and no one had time to send a signal, or if it was ......
But guessing alone is useless at this point!
Wang Hao continued to give orders: "Orientation check." Your bearing is 275,19 km. ”
"Sir, yours is 96,nineteen kilometers."
"Nice, close. Now the signal for the patrol of the 5th Regiment is missing, so I have to go full speed. Come over as soon as you hand it over! ”
"Understood, platoon commander!"
ended the conversation with the deputy platoon commander and at the same time switched to the officer line.
"Jackal! Reply! Jackal! …… Do you hear that? Please answer! ”
Wang Hao was eager to talk to the commander of the patrol.
It makes sense to be in such a hurry.
First, the scouts have not yet made a report, and Wang Hao is completely unaware of any situation in the area of the change of defense.
Second, he didn't want to hear someone say vaguely, "Come and support us, man." He led his men out of the defense area and rushed into the encirclement of the strong enemy.
In this existential emergency, what is more needed is a rigorous answer, preferably one with a time accurate to the second, and the number of enemy troops accurate to a single digit.
Wang Hao led his boys to march almost as fast as they could, and at the same time kept calling the platoon commander of the 'jackal', and from time to time calling any officer of that platoon, describing to them the signal from the signal machine that Dimitri had just set up.
There was no answer......
At last he got an answer from Captain James: "Don't make noise, King. Go to the private line to report the situation! ”
Wang Hao complied.
Sergeant Major Soap coldly told Wang Hao to stop trying to talk to the platoon commander of the 'jackal' platoon, there was no platoon commander there.
While there may still be a non-commissioned officer alive in that place, its chain of command is broken.
Although both in the handbook and the seniors with various old qualifications say that there will always be someone who will take over the position of chief.
But now this unexpected situation does happen, because there are so many missing links in the chain of command that the remaining non-commissioned officers simply cannot issue even a single effective command order to the soldiers.
According to conservative estimates, there is now only one non-commissioned officer left there.
It may be that he was still insisting on sending signals to the outside world just now, but now the signal has stopped for a short time......
Dimitri is trying to contact him and get information from him.
"Sir, I got in touch with the rest of the 'jackals', huh...... Their situation is not too good. After some hard work, Dimitri was able to get in touch with the last fighters left.
The only remaining officer was a radio soldier in the Jackal Platoon named Landry.
When Wang Hao joined the command line and identified himself, Landry mistakenly thought that Wang Hao was his battalion commander and immediately made a heartbreaking and detailed report.
"Every unit with strong combat effectiveness has a distinctive nickname."
In the armies of various countries, some units have codenames, nicknames or aliases in addition to their own numbers.
The nicknames or nicknames of these units have their origins or stories, and some of them reveal the history of the unit.
For example, the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division of the US Army is known as the "Marne River Division", the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division is also known as the "Famous Fourth Division" and the "Ivy Division", and the 25th Infantry Division is known as the "Tropical Lightning Division".
Once a combat unit is given a nickname, their original nickname is no longer noticeable, and everyone calls them by their nickname, including their commander.
Just like now, Wang Hao still doesn't know what row the 'jackal platoon' is, and how many rows it is.
But as long as the fifth regiment and the jackal platoon are mentioned, everyone knows about it.
Wang Hao's fourth platoon, although he has been brave and fearless in recent times, has not been able to mix up a loud nickname.
Jackals, sexually alert, have a developed sense of smell, like to chase, are very ferocious, and gather together to hunt after discovering their prey.
The 'Jackal Platoon', the elite reconnaissance platoon of the Fifth Regiment, has been at the forefront of the battlefield after a hundred battles, responsible for the reconnaissance work of the Fifth Regiment, and has never made any mistakes.
Now it has suffered such a fatal blow.
It is estimated that after this war, I am afraid that not only the nickname, but also the establishment will be withdrawn.
The most distressing thing is that with such large casualties, they are completely unclear where the enemy is.
Landry was still trembling and telling how they had been attacked, but there was no nourishment at all, and all that was tossed and turned was things like: "A strange wind blows, and everyone loses their signal; Immediately after that, a huge crack opened in the ground, and then a squad of fighters disappeared, and only their screams could be heard......"
Captain James interrupted him and ordered Wang Hao to continue his mission. "Stop thinking about what to know about the change of guard. The situation is everything you see in front of your eyes...... Always be careful and keep your eyes open! ”
"Okay, Captain!"
