In this way, under the intensive attack of those long-range howitzers, in the main city of Mecharares, some of the core military buildings of the other side were destroyed one after another. At this time, General Ballas clearly realized what kind of attack capability this newly developed long-range howitzer had. Yes, both the attack distance and the lethality have reached a rather terrifying level.

After destroying some of the opponent's important military buildings, General Barras immediately targeted Jiang Ming's attack, targeting those mobile combat forces. According to Liu Qingshan's opinion, he should try his best to eliminate the opponent's living combat force by means of long-range attacks. In this way, we will be able to preserve our ground combat strength to the greatest extent and lay a solid foundation for future battles.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

However, at this time, due to the influence of the main city of the fog of war, it is difficult to detect the mobile strength of the enemy army, except for some other military buildings. Occasionally, it is possible to spot a part of it, which is difficult to locate due to their constant change of position.

Under these circumstances, General Barras decided to play the role of a scout to reconnoiter the opponent's mobile combat forces and the main garrison locations. In a certain way, as long as the enemy's mobile combat forces are clearly reconnoitred about the garrison locations, then their own long-range howitzers can once again play a huge offensive role. Otherwise, it is just a blind attack, and the effect is not very great. General Ballas was naturally well aware of this.

However, in order to play the role of those scouts, it is necessary to cross the Seine. The Seine River is about three thousand meters wide, but fortunately, the current is not very fast, and those scouts of their own should be able to swim across it.

General Ballas knew very well in his heart that this kind of scout, on the whole, had a very comprehensive and comprehensive character. On the one hand, their individual combat capability is very good, at least it is possible to be able to defeat three enemies with one, or even ten enemies with one enemy. On the other hand, they are also very comprehensive in some other aspects of performance. For example, the speed of marching, and some of the construction and repair capabilities that only engineers have, in addition, they can easily handle all kinds of combat vehicles, even airplanes, ships, warships and submarines.

In this way, this also means that this kind of scout is indeed the elite of the elite, of course, for them, the most outstanding ability should be the race scout. They can be separated from a long distance, and they can find out some specific conditions in the target area. Then, through the guò radio communication system, timely to report to the command. So, in a lot of cases, in a lot of situations, this kind of scout can really play some very important roles. General Barras knew this very well.

Now, in order to maximize the use of long-range attack forces and kill and injure the enemy's mobile combat units, General Ballas decided to send a small detachment of scouts to reconnoiter some of the conditions on the other side of the Seine, especially the garrison of some of the main combat units of the other side. Provide detailed and reliable intelligence for your own long-range howitzer attack firepower.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Then General Barras summoned a small detachment of scouts, and then, walking up to them, said sharply: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time, your task is to cross the Seine, to the area along the coast, and to reconnoiter the garrison of the opponent's mobile combat forces. However, I need to remind you that some of the important military installations and bases of the other side on the other side of the Seine are now under heavy long-range fire attack, suffering heavy losses and destruction. However, the enemy's mobile combat forces were basically not damaged in any way.

Therefore, in such a situation, you must be cautious, on the one hand, you must complete the task, and on the other hand, you must pay attention to your own safety. I hope that each and every one of you will be able to return safely. Before you set out, our long-range artillery fire will provide the necessary cover, at the very least, the ground artillery and machine-gun pillboxes on the other side of the Seine, which we will completely destroy through long-range artillery fire, so that you can land smoothly and fully prepare for your landing. ”

After hearing this, the leader of the reconnaissance squad looked at General Ballas and gave a very standard military salute, and then said, "General Ballas, please rest assured, we have a very clear understanding of the importance of this application. As long as the military installations on the other side of the Seine, especially the ground guns and machine-gun pillboxes, are destroyed and the obstacles are cleared for our landing, then General Barras will leave the rest alone, and we will take care of it. ”

Hearing this, General Barras nodded very happily, and then, he patted the shoulder of the leader of the reconnaissance team, and said, "Very good, very good. I appreciate your attitude and spirit very much. As a scout, you should be the elite of the elite of our combat forces. This Seine River is relatively wide, about 3,000 meters. Fortunately, the Seine is not very fast, so it will not affect your crossing too much.

"Of course, as for the ground guns and machine-gun bunkers on the other side of the Seine, you don't have to worry about this, our long-range artillery fire will destroy them very easily. The first thing you have to do is to make sure that you reconnoiter the location of the opponent's rapid combat troops, and you must be accurate and report back in time. Now, you don't have any other questions? If so, be sure to bring it up as much as you can, and we will definitely solve it for you. ”

Upon hearing this, the scouts replied in unison: "Report to General Barras, we have no problems and are ready to go at any time." ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Hearing this, General Barras nodded slightly, and then continued: "In that case, then, you should be fully prepared at once, and when the long-range artillery fire has stopped, you will set off immediately." ”

General Barras then turned around and immediately connected the long-range howitzer attack unit's long-range communication phone: "The long-range howitzer attack force has cleared all parts of the unit, and now, immediately adjust the target of the attack, and destroy all the ground artillery and machine-gun pillboxes on the other side of the Seine." In particular, it is important to clear all of them within about 5 kilometers of our avoidance. Can't leave a single ground gun and machine gun bunker behind, do you understand? ”

After hearing this, the long-range howitzer attack force immediately replied: "General Baras, we understand. The target of the attack, the ground artillery and machine-gun pillboxes on the other side of the Seine, all the ground artillery and machine-gun pillboxes within the range of 5,000 meters, destroyed them. General Barras rest assured. ”

Immediately afterwards, on the seven-hundred-meter-long attack line, dozens of long-range howitzers immediately began to launch long-range attacks. Tom tom, tom tom, tom tom...... One howitzer after another, the howitzer shells burst out, flew over the Seine River, and then, with precision, hit the ground guns and machine gun bunkers on the other side of the Seine. For a moment, a dense number of shells whistled and flew over the Seine, looking very dense.

The ground guns and machine-gun bunkers built on the other side of the Seine were soon completely caught in the flames of the explosion. Coax, coax, coax...... The explosions continued one after another, one after another, and the dark red explosions burst into the sky, and since it was already nightfall, the fires that were not bad looked particularly dazzling.

The attack lasted about ten minutes or so. It should be said that this long-range strike has a very good effect. The ground artillery and machine-gun bunkers built on the banks of the Seine were subjected to such a sudden and fierce attack, and their health dropped and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye as one shell after another fell from the sky, and as the explosions continued to sound. Finally, boom, boom, boom In the end, on the other side of the Seine, within a range of 5,000 meters, all the ground artillery and machine-gun pillboxes were completely destroyed.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Just after the long-range grenades dragged the long-range attack to the end, the reconnaissance team immediately set off, jumped into the Seine River one after another, and then swam towards the opposite bank of the Seine.

It should be said that this reconnaissance squad is indeed very comprehensive and has all-round combat performance. In that Seine, they are very fast, and they look like a ball of big fish, swimming forward quickly.

At the beginning, it should be said that it was very smooth. However, when they had swam past the middle line of the Seine, the searchlight on the other side, the flickering pillar of snow-white light, finally reached them. Randomly, a series of bullets burst over, causing a splash on the surface of the water.

In this case, the squad leader with a huge embroidery needle for the remnants of the melee knew that the situation was not good, so he immediately connected to the long-range communication system with General Ballas: "General Ballas, the big thing is not good, the situation has changed. After we crossed the middle line, we were spotted by the other side's searchlight. Now, the enemy is suffering from a fierce ground attack. Request support, request support. ”

After hearing this, General Barras couldn't help but frown. Yes, for this, he didn't think of it before. On the opposite bank of the Grand Seine, several searchlights of the enemy army were built. Now, night has fallen, and those searchlights are constantly investigating, and if they are not careful, they will be discovered by the other party.

However, despite this, General Barras knew very well that this problem was actually very easy to solve. As long as the other party's searchlights are knocked out, then the other party is targeting the reconnaissance team that can no longer be found. The night is vast, and the Seine River is so wide, how can the other party easily find them?

Thus, according to General Barras's understanding, this problem would be solved by destroying the enemy's searchlights on the other side of the Seine. And trying to destroy those searchlights was almost as easy as a snap for him. Because of his long-range howitzers, solving this problem is simply too simple.

So, after thinking of this, General Barras connected the long-range howitzer attack force this time: "Long-range howitzer attack troops, long-range howitzer attack troops, now, adjust the attack Zhuyuan, lock the target of the attack on the other side of the Seine River, the other side's searchlights." ”

Soon, on the opposite side of the Seine, even the long-range howitzers began to roar again. Tom tom, tom tom, the barrel of the bitter place, the dark red fire kept shining, in the night it looked very dazzling and eye-catching. Immediately, one after another, the shells crossed one arc after another, and attacked the searchlight on the other side of the Seine River at the Seine River that flew over at one time. Coaxing, coaxing, and soon, on the south bank of the Seine, the searchlights, because the targets were very obvious, the shells fired by those howitzers hit them accurately, almost as if they had eyes. Over time, the southern bank of the Seine was once again covered with heavy artillery fire. The explosions continued one after another, and after being attacked from such a fierce long-range attack, the dozen or so enemy searchlights were soon destroyed. For a moment, the sound of artillery stopped, and with it the sound of explosions. The whole Seine was plunged into darkness.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

In this case, with the destruction of the searchlights on the other side of the Seine, not only the entire southern bank of the Seine, has now been completely plunged into darkness. Even on the surface of the Seine, there was naturally darkness.

In this case, it is naturally large, and it is very advantageous for the reconnaissance team sent out by General Baras. Immediately, the reconnaissance team sped up its swimming, and swam quickly toward the other side of the Seine.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this moment, although on the other side of the Seine, a string of bullets was still fired from time to time, but it was obvious that in the absence of searchlights, these bullets were simply very blind design, without a set goal, and the huge Seine River naturally could not pose any threat to General Barras's reconnaissance team.

Finally, after more than half an hour of swimming, the reconnaissance team finally landed victoriously. Prior to this, since the enemy's ground artillery and machine-gun pillboxes on the south bank of the Seine had all been destroyed by long-range fire, this reconnaissance detachment did not suffer any danger at all when it landed. Very smooth.

Subsequently, this reconnaissance team, under the cover of night, explored the past into the depths of the enemy's position. For them, this piece of land naturally seems very unfamiliar. However, they are well-trained scouts after all, and they have a lot of reconnaissance experience. In the process of moving forward, there are times when they encounter some stragglers of the enemy, which is not a problem for them at all. If it was possible, they didn't even shoot, and directly used daggers to kill the opponent's stragglers. In this way, the likelihood of their exposure is minimized.

Now, the night was deep, and a bright moon hung in the sky, emitting a bleak light. At this moment, that reconnaissance team had gradually approached a military stronghold of the enemy army in front. Obviously, because in that place, the lights are bright, and in such a gray night, it looks very eye-catching.

Every member of that reconnaissance team was agile and fast, looking like a leopard, showing no traces, and showing extremely superb training. Then, with the help of a partially parted main battle tank, the watchmen used it as a cover to clearly see that in front of them, dozens of enemy heavy tanks were gathered. After seeing this, the leader of the reconnaissance team couldn't help but be overjoyed. He knew that this was exactly what he was looking for.

Immediately, the leader of the reconnaissance team immediately connected to the long-range communication system with General Ballas: "General Ballas, General Ballas, now we have found the target, we have found the target. Bearing, 45 degrees to the southeast, distance, 4,300 meters. Can now attack, can now attack. ”

It should be said that at this time, under such a situation, the leader of the reconnaissance detachment was very excited. This is, after all, a big fish! It is precisely because of his own efforts that this big fish was discovered! And as long as the long-range howitzer cannon on the opposite bank sounds, then it basically means that these dozens of enemy main battle tanks will suffer a fierce long-range attack from the sky! That would be a great disaster for the enemy.
