Language is the most crucial point for human beings to enter civilized society, and it is even no less than the ancient apes who were the first to stand up and walk on two legs and pick up things with their hands. When language appears in the process of human civilization, then it has its unique charm, or to convey information, or to inspire, or to mobilize relationships, or to destroy a person's psychological defense.

Liszt, who had taught himself psychology and linguistics, did not make good use of the art of using language like professional politicians and psychologists, but it was enough to exert the desired effect of language in certain situations. Putting down the pencil in his hand, Liszt threw the map to Sofitel next to him, turned his head and glanced at the four squad leaders who came around him, his face was calm: "I think you know what to do." ”

Tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop, Liszt's gaze was sharp. He looked at the squad leader in front of him, and at the same time looked at Sofitel next to him with a serious and solemn face, the corners of his mouth turned into a smile, and he nodded: "If we hurry up and act, we may be able to get some useful clues." ”

"Understood!"

Sophie nodded, and he picked up the detailed map drawn in pencil, of which the Anchorage Line was the most prominent, occupying almost fifty percent of the map's layout, and along the Anchorage Line, there were three areas marked with danger symbols in addition to the hill where they were located. And a line of text on it was marked in English, which was quite an eyesore in Sofitel's eyes, and even the greatest anger of any unit of the Anchorage Line.

Soviet advance post. This line of characters is depicted in all three areas, and the three so-called forward posts are roughly described, with more than 100 Soviet scouts on standby. And the distance from their hill, the closest Soviet outpost, is not even two kilometers away!

The sound of the engine was already there, and the exhaust fumes made a piercing roar through the exhaust duct. Six M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and ten armed off-road vehicles have also been assembled. With the fuel filled up and the ammunition ready, the accompanying infantry entered the rear compartment of the infantry fighting vehicle and entered a state of readiness, holding the light machine gun in the machine gun firing hole firmly against the shoulder, ready to fire at any time.

The makeshift camp had been cleared in a very short time, and all the soldiers had boarded their vehicles and moved along with the entire armored reconnaissance team. They were advancing at great speed, for they were also flying unscrupulously through the wilderness and woodlands under the protection of armored vehicles.

Six M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles are in the center, with five armed off-road vehicles in front and five in the rear, almost attacking and defending in the field. When encountering light infantry, they can instantly play the role of armored troops, charge directly head-on, and crush them with powerful firepower. And even if it encounters an attack by heavy armor or anti-armor means, it can directly use mobility to spread out to the sides to avoid heavy damage.

Although Liszt had never commanded an armored force in this world, some basic common sense was understood. In his previous life, he was in that republic, and he was once a member of the heavy army, and he was also very handy after deliberately teaching himself how to command armored troops to fight.

But now for Liszt, this armored reconnaissance platoon, which was speeding forward rapidly, was not difficult to command. In particular, Sofitel, as a deputy, was previously the company commander of the 16th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and has sufficient experience in armored command. Now, as Liszt's deputy, assisting him in commanding this unit is not too easy at all.

"We are rapidly approaching the Soviet outpost, which could be attacked by enemy forces at any moment!"

The armored forces were advancing, but Sofitel, who was at the forefront, was becoming more and more cautious. He sat in an armed off-road vehicle at the front, holding his M4A1 assault rifle in his arms, carefully sweeping the lush birch forest in front of him, with an extremely cautious look in his eyes. According to the map, they were now approaching the Soviet outpost built at the edge of the forest, and if they were ambushed by the enemy, they would probably lose some of their vehicles and soldiers. Knowing that the Soviets were as famous for their anti-armor methods as their own torrent of steel, Sofitel didn't want to give herself an account of being in the wilderness of Alaska.

With a slight cough, Sofitel cleared her throat as she looked carefully at the seemingly normal birch forest in front of her, reaching out and pulling out her walkie-talkie. He turned to look at an M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle more than thirty meters behind, he could see Liszt's figure, pressed and held the intercom button, and he spoke: "That group of Soviet scouts may appear at any time, do we want to continue to move forward?" ”

"Forward, you don't need to be hidden!"

Sitting in the captain's machine gun position, Liszt put down the telescope in his hand and swept over the birch forest, and there was nothing unusual at a cursory glance. It is not easy to distinguish the carefully camouflaged position with the naked eye, especially in this lush forest area of bushes and birch trees, and it is quite difficult to observe the hidden enemy with the naked eye. But Liszt did not hesitate at all, he also pressed the walkie-talkie hanging on his chest, nodded and gave an order: "Go full speed, report the enemy immediately!" ”

"Understood." On the intercom, Sofitel and the other squad leaders' answers came immediately. Liszt's gaze swept over the forest in front of him, but his mind quickly identified his general location according to the previous map. They were extremely close to the Soviet outpost hidden at the edge of the forest, but according to Cheney's previous intelligence, this outpost was just a simple observation post, and there were no heavy weapons except for a few anti-armor rocket launchers.

Although Alaska was largely abandoned by the U.S. Confederation, it was still nominally part of the territory of the U.S. Confederation, and the Soviet Union would not have secretly taken full control of the Bering Strait if it had not taken into account the almost equal military strength of the two sides. But now that even the United Nations has disappeared because of the war, the Soviet Union and the U.S. Federation may be each other's huge nuclear arsenals, and they just keep each other in restraint.

But according to Cheney's scattered intelligence, the three nearest outposts on the Anchorage Line were only a squad of troops, not even heavily weaponized. The mission of this squad is usually only used as a transit station for espionage intelligence, and as for the arrangement of combat deployment, there is no such thing as any arrangement. Perhaps these three posts were set up to prevent the US federal troops from entering Alaska on a large scale and let the main Soviet forces in the Bering Strait get the news.

However, Liszt didn't care much about the so-called Soviet outposts, and even if his troops wiped out those three outposts, the two sides would not be on the table at all. Just as the assassination of Bunard and his Soviet spies was just a private acquiescence to each other's Cold War methods, if a large-scale armed conflict were caused for the sake of such a thing, or even to the point where two countries were at war and threw nuclear weapons at each other, the gains outweighed the losses.

"Discover unfamiliar buildings! Spot the enemy! ”

As he got closer, Liszt was able to spot the buildings hidden in the birch forest even through a high-powered telescope. It was an oval-shaped building more than two meters high, and it looked less like a sentry post and more like a machine-gun bunker. He slowly raised his right hand, and the reconnaissance platoon, which was almost still speeding forward, immediately stopped, and the muzzles of the guns and machine guns of the black hole were pointed at that side, but no sign of the enemy was found.

"First Combat Team, go investigate!"

Nodding at Sophie, the tactics that had already been discussed appeared in an orderly manner with Sofitel's orders. The rear compartment of an M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle was opened, and eight heavily armed U.S. Army scouts immediately jumped out, looked at each other, and then scattered and pressed down, carrying their M4A1 assault rifles and running quickly forward. One by one, their faces were expressionless, but the forward posture was extremely vigilant, and at the slightest abnormal movement, they immediately lay on the ground, not daring to be careless.
