Chapter 397: Swarm Tactics

The Red Army was slightly stunned, Zhou Da's question was also what he was puzzled about, the situation here was really too chaotic, and they faintly forgot the loss of time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ At this moment, Tao Ran, who had just rushed back, heard their conversation, thought for a while and said, "Zhou Yu has been gone for about twenty-seven or eight days, and it will be almost a month. β
"It's been less than a month. Zhou Da scratched his head and said: "When he left, he said that he would probably need to stay in Nanhua City for a month, plus the time to travel back and forth, it is definitely not enough to have more than 40 days, that is, we have to hold on for at least half a month?"
"If only that were the case. Tao Ran suddenly said with some dejection.
Zhou Da immediately realized that the situation had changed, and looked up at Tao Ran: "Something happened?"
"It seems that the West Hill base has been discovered. Tao Ran said with a sad face.
"Xishan!?" Zhou Da stood up suddenly, and said suspiciously: "How could it be discovered, we have never definitely guarded there, and we can ensure that no Amaterasu warrior has entered the Xishan base." β
"I can't say it well, but I feel that the pressure in the direction of Xifeng Valley seems to be increasing, and today I actually encountered three waves of enemy attacks in succession, although they were all only tentative attacks, and there were no armored vehicles, but this situation is really weird. Tao Ran said with a frown.
Zhou Da was silent, and began to ponder with a frown. The Nishiyama base is not a good base, and even the place itself does not have any equipment and resources to supply them, but now for them, the Nishiyama base is the most important place, the reason is very simple, although Liuba City is an airport city, all the airports in the city have been occupied by Amaterasukuni. This situation had been expected before Zhou Yu left, after all, the tactics they had set before were to detour and harass, disrupt their steps as much as possible, and ultimately ensure the safety of the refugees in Liubo City.
And if they did this, of course, it was impossible to hold any airport and port, so before leaving, Zhou Yu and the others found the Xishan base. This base may have been originally intended to be used for research, but it has not yet developed, and there is a small airport in the West Hill base, which has the ability to accept starships to land. This is very important, if Zhou Yu and the others don't even have a port to sail into when they rush back, they can only choose to make a forced landing. But a forced landing has never been an easy task, and if there is any accident, a forced landing is tantamount to death.
"The West Hill base must not be lost. Zhou Da said categorically.
Tao Ran smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know that Xishan must not be lost, but the problem is that nothing can be done now." β
"Why can't you do it?" Zhou Da looked at Tao Ran a little strangely.
"What to do? Although the appearance of the three waves of enemies today is very strange, it can be seen from their actions that the people of Amaterasu should only be very concerned about some of the situations here, but they should only be in the suspicion stage, and they are not really sure, and they don't even plan to increase their efforts to investigate, so they will only send a few combat teams to investigate. Tao Ran thought for a moment and continued: "But the problem now is that the methods we used to defeat the three reconnaissance enemy units before were all 'coincidental', and they didn't feel that we had indeed set up a tight defense in Xishan. It would be correct to increase the defense and prevent them from penetrating at all, but in this way, it would make them completely firm up that there was a special situation in the western mountains. β
Tao Ran said very slowly, he left Zhou Da enough time to think, and Zhou Da nodded in agreement while listening to Tao Ran's words, and had to admit that Tao Ran was right, no matter what response was made in the current situation, it seemed reasonable, but it seemed that there might be problems. This is a dead end, you can make mistakes in doing or not doing it, and now let them make decisions, and they don't even know what to do for a while.
The Red Army, who had been listening to the discussion between the two people, saw Tao Ran and Zhou Da frowning all the time, and suddenly subconsciously said: "It would be nice if Zhou Yu was here." β
"Nonsense, it's not to leave a way back for Zhou Yu, and we won't be so embarrassed now. Zhou Da said a little irritably.
Hongjun shook his head and said calmly: "I mean, if you assume that this situation is faced by Zhou Yu, he will naturally know what to do. I always felt that there was no such thing as hesitation in his dictionary. β
Listening to the words of the Red Army, Zhou Da and Tao Ran were all stunned, they knew that the Red Army did not mean to ridicule them, but was just expounding a fact. It was only when they suddenly heard such an explanation that Zhou Da and Tao Ran suddenly woke up, as if they had realized for the first time the problem that the Red Army was talking about.
However, just after the three of them fell silent again, Chi Jie's sudden rush over and said, "Captain, the enemy has gone to Xishan again." β
This next week, Zhou Da and Tao Ran don't have to hesitate anymore, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the enemy has been aware of the situation in Xishan, Zhou Da no longer hesitated, and asked clearly After the Amaterasu army sent three hunter armored vehicles to cooperate with a whole corps to attack over, he directly ordered everyone to gather at the Xishan base, anyway, it is obvious that the enemy has discovered their secrets, and what can be done now is to deploy defense in the Xishan base, and try to see if the enemy's attack can be repelled this time.
It's just that at this time, both Zhou Da and Tao Ran don't have much hope for this battle, in their opinion, this is a battle that must be lost after all, the reason is very simple, they don't have the capital to confront these Amaterasu's troops head-on.
On the way to the Xishan base, Zhou Da and Tao Ran's mood was very low, although there are many empty magnetic towers near the Xishan base, which can be used to resist the hunter armored vehicle, and even if the enemy really wants to storm the Xishan base, the hunter chariot is bound to enter the control range of the empty magnetic tower, but if you want to do this, you still need to be lured after all, but their strength is too small and too few, so far, even if you add some warriors who joined later, they can barely form two corpsγ
Zhou Da and they didn't have the idea of fighting with the corps, even if they wanted to defend the Xishan base, they could only use all kinds of roundabout tactics. The only thing to be thankful for now is that the Xishan base is not really impossible to lose, in fact, even if it is really to lose the Xishan base temporarily, it doesn't matter, as long as the enemy can set up their armed forces here to interfere with the tower. Once the enemy builds the jamming tower, the starship will not be able to choose a landing site through signal recognition, and the only choice will be to make a forced landing in another place. Because to force a landing without an accurate understanding of the situation on the ground would really be suicide.
"No matter, no matter what turns out in the end, at least for now, keep the enemy's initial offensive back. After being silent for a long time, Zhou Da suddenly spoke. There is nothing wrong with his statement, in fact, all the troubles they thought about before were based on the pressure of the army behind the enemy, if they really fell into such a predicament, of course it would be difficult to resist, but at least the current situation is not irresistible.
Tao Ran was also slightly infected by Zhou Da's emotions, and then realized that they were indeed a little negative before, if they treated the battle in this way, they might have crushed themselves to death without waiting for the enemy's army to crush the border.
The entire Xishan base is really a natural battlefield, if it is the warriors in the team who often participated in the battle in the simulated battlefield before, they will definitely feel very familiar with this situation, this is simply the most typical battlefield setting, there is the most complex terrain, there are various commanding heights and terrain can be used to suppress the enemy attacking the mountain, Zhou Da They chose the most correct tactic in this battlefield, that is, the two thousand or so warriors under their command were divided into twenty teams, and even the teams were all complete combat teams, this battle of course still needs a commander-in-chief, but obviously once the war really startsIt is not an exaggeration to say that they are fighting separately, because in the previous war, Zhou Da and they have already discovered the strength of the Amaterasu's army, and the railguns on their hunter armored vehicles are too powerful, which leads to them not having any chance to fight positional warfare.
If you want to build a mechanical fortress at this time, it is a waste of resources, not to mention that Zhou Da they don't have enough resources to build it, even if they do, they won't do it, under the deterrence of railguns, as long as there is a mechanical fortress, they are destined to become the target of the enemy, and the most important thing is that they can really destroy the mechanical fortress. In such a situation, the only option they can choose is to rely on the naturally formed terrain on this side of the West Mountain to fight.
"I don't know when the new type of armor that Zhou Yu said will be created, if we can't even build a mechanical fortress on the battlefield, and we can only dodge and dodge battles, it is only a matter of time before we are completely defeated. Zhou Da said as he wandered through the mountains with a team.
The Red Army has always been by his side since the beginning of the war, and these words are exactly what Zhou Da said to him. It's just that the Red Army has always been slow to do this kind of thing, even more sluggish than Zhou Da, but the Red Army still thought about it seriously for a while before saying: "Zhou Yu said that he hasn't studied much about that new type of armor, and the specific time to build it can only be left to fate." He seemed to say so at the time, sooner or later the enemy will study this new type of armor, let's just wait patiently, the next period of time is the era of attack. β
In fact, although Zhou Yu did say this at the time, the Red Army itself did not quite understand the meaning of these words, or did not understand the precise meaning of them. Zhou Da can figure out a little, he also understands a little bit of the truth of the change of machinery, the so-called contradiction is what it means, there is no way that there is a weapon in this world that can be indestructible, if there is, it is only within a certain time span, when a new type of weapon is born, it is natural to break any armor created by relying on the previous generation of technology, but when this weapon begins to run rampant, a new generation of armor will definitely appear, and begin to block the powerful offensive of this new weapon.
Of course, the fate of the new generation of armor is to wait for the next generation of new weapons to break it.
This is the case with the wars of this era, and it can even be said that since the beginning of human wars, such a situation has existed, but in the past, when the speed of technological development was not fast enough, such technological changes were not frequent, and now with the acceleration of technological iteration, the competition between the strongest weapon and the strongest armor has become frequent and complicated.
It's just that Zhou Da understands this truth, but he can't see the hope that the enemy is researching a new type of armor, after all, they are the ones who are being beaten passively now, and the strongest weapon of the new generation is researched by the people of Amaterasu, even if a new generation of armor appears, it should be researched by them who are now passively beaten. As for the era of attack in the next period of time that Zhou Yu said, Zhou Da couldn't see any light at all.
There is a frustrating sentence that he can't say, at this time Zhou Da's only hope is that they don't lose too badly, and even he has prepared for Zhou Yu's plan to make a forced landing when he returns, what he needs most now should be to preserve the troops as much as possible, and wait for Zhou Yu and them to bring people over to support them immediately after they land, lest they just leave the starship and be surrounded by the army of Amaterasu.
Of course, these are just Zhou Da's temporary thoughts, when the war in Xishan was completely launched, he realized that this battle was not something he could control the situation, and these warriors under his command were not something he could take away if he said he could take them away now. The Hunter Chariot is still showing its hegemonic role on the battlefield, in the face of the complex situation in the West Mountain, the Hunter armored vehicles are also like walking on the ground to the mountain, in the face of the Hunter armored vehicles passing by, what Zhou Da can do is to send out one battle squad after another, with a very small target group to attack the Amaterasu warriors, and disperse their forces little by little.
This tactic is at least successful, Amaterasu warriors certainly have hunter armored vehicles to rely on, but the first point is that hunter armored vehicles cannot be loaded with a large number of warriors, after all, this is not a personnel carrier, so on the battlefield, this is just a huge artillery battery that can be moved, and in the face of Zhou Da's swarm tactics, the losses of Amaterasu's warriors are also increasing. Seeing this, the Red Army's face finally showed a little smile and said: "Yes, if you continue to fight like this, you may really be able to win." β
