"In my opinion, it is more difficult to capture alive. The main thing is that capturing him alive doesn't mean much to us. ”

When the reserve team was attacked by the guards of the Eagle's Nest base, Zhang Yimo said with a frown. The smooth progress of the battle over the past few hours made it even more painful for him to hear about the casualties.

Li Mu was thinking about it, and he asked, "Have we counted our casualties?"

Wang Guoqing immediately replied and handed over a note, "The latest data is this." ”

After glancing at it, Li Mu nodded slightly, "Thirteen casualties are within an acceptable range." What about the data of the enemy's annihilation?"

Wang Guoqing puffed up his chest and said, "There are already more than 3,000 people, more than 200 combat vehicles, and more than 30 helicopters. At the head of the group, all combat units are still busy cleaning up operations, and the statistical work is proceeding relatively slowly. This is data from an hour ago. ”

Li Jiu said firmly, "The Nine-Headed Eagle Force is abolished." ”

Of the tens of thousands of troops, excluding logistics support personnel, no more than 5,000 people are used for front-line operations, but despite this, the strength of the Nine-headed Eagle combat unit is still more than three times that of the Mujia army. After losing more than 3,000 men and most of the technical equipment, the defeat of the Hydra was a foregone conclusion.

However, the current situation is that the combat behavior of the herdsman's army attacking the Eagle's Nest base seems to have touched Wade's bottom line, and his guard troops actually burst out with strong combat effectiveness to block the roundabout attack of the reserves.

As a result, whether to accept it or bear more casualties and take the Eagle's Nest base has become a choice in front of the commander-in-chief.

Li Mu has made a similar choice many times, and every choice will be accompanied by casualties, large or small, and even choose one before the two combat units! Behind the choice is the commander's cruel treatment of his own heart, which is also the cruel side of war.

If you don't die in a war, don't you talk a few eggs!

Li Mu made a decision in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Let the reserves and the left-wing assault group withdraw, so the troops will be transferred to the purging operation." Zhang Rusong's long-range fire group was ordered to cover the Eagle's Nest base with fire according to the original plan, so that the unmanned attack aircraft detachment could rise into the air and be ready to track and strike at any time. ”

"Yes!" Li Jiu immediately went to give the order.

Li Mu said to Zhang Yimo, "We don't need to take risks for a long time. Send out all the helicopters and bring back all the wounded, even if you scratch a little skin, and pick them up!"

"I'll arrange it right away!" Zhang Yimo went to do it immediately.

Seeing the look of Usain Bolt beside him who wanted to speak but stopped, Li Mu asked, "What do you want to say?"

Bolt whispered, "Sir, take a step to speak." ”

The two walked to the middle of nowhere, and Bolt whispered, "Sir, Wade is just a tool, and it can be said that even the Israeli military has a different opinion on this operation." But you know, that eagle exerted a lot of pressure. ”

"I know. Li Mudao, "What do you want to say?"

How could he not understand the reason, the intricate relationship between the two sides was clear, but both sides were very tacit and ignored it, so they started a fight. It is nothing more than a question of whether the Chinese will gain a foothold or the Yankees will gain a foothold.

"If it were possible, I would like you, sir, to let him go. Usain Bolt said.

Li Mu didn't think about it, and refused, "Impossible." I can only tell you if you will return to Israel alive to see his creation. ”

Bolt was silent, he and Wade had a deep relationship before, and before that, they knew each other and had some feelings like father and son.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu said, "I'll arrange for someone to send you away, my promise, I will fulfill it." ”

Bolt was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that this battle should be over, and there was no need for him to stay in the Tiger's Den base.

"Yes, sir. ”

Li Mu arranged for someone to send Bolt away overnight, leaving an outsider by his side, and he was never at ease.

To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, and a person with a compassionate heart cannot lead soldiers or fight, how can a cold-blooded person like Li Mu, who doesn't even care about his own life, open his net to the enemy on the battlefield and let him go?

If he was still used to leading his troops into battle, he didn't care about adding a few more steel plates to himself.

There weren't many bright spots to be found in the third round of covering strikes from the Far Fire Group, and after the left flank assault group and reserves retreated to a safe distance, the rain of bullets showed again.

Li Mu has a serious Continental Army mentality, and he is very advocating firepower. It should be said that this is the unswerving thinking of the majority of army generals and even middle-level commanding officers, and its influence is beyond people's imagination. A large number of artillery equipment, which are constantly being developed and improved, as well as 300-millimeter rocket artillery that is organized as military support firepower, will inevitably be delegated to divisional and brigade units in the future.

However, the 122 mm caliber rocket launchers and 122 mm howitzers equipped with brigade artillery have left the vast majority of countries in the world in the dust.

Going back, it can probably be traced back to the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.

In those days, Chinese soldiers saw what is called firepower density, paid a heavy price and tasted the taste of strong firepower.

In the Sino-Soviet crisis in the 60s, the millions of troops deployed by the former Soviet Union in the border areas had the most powerful armored assault force in the world, and the advance of the large-scale mechanized troops in depth made the whole of Europe tremble and panic under the red iron stream.

Develop your own powerful artillery and develop powerful artillery equipment. Starting with the Type 63 107-mm rocket, a half-century-long wild catch-up began. In the counterattack against Vietnam, the 107 rockets covered the Vietnamese positions as if they were not paying for money, allowing the Chinese soldiers to taste the pleasure of stepping on the enemy positions in a scorched earth.

Over the past half century, the development of army equipment has been slow, but new products have always appeared in the equipment of artillery units.

The motorized infantry brigade is equipped with an artillery regiment, towed 122-mm howitzers, wheeled 122-mm multiple rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, surface-to-air missiles, surface-to-air artillery......

China's military industry has been working hard for more than half a century in the research and development of rocket artillery, and now it has played a good role! A large number of various types of rocket artillery equipped with the troops are like a panacea, giving the officers and men of the army great confidence. There is nothing that cannot be solved by the rocket artillery units of one brigade, and if there is, then two brigades!

The U.S. military says that firepower is supreme, and the Chinese Army has gradually embarked on the road of advocating firepower in the research and development of army equipment. From the Type 95 automatic rifle, which emphasizes accuracy and hit rate, to the 300-millimeter rocket launcher, which is the largest caliber in service in the army, it was born under this concept.

The Chinese army is not the biggest American fan, but the Americans took this road first, and we Chinese have developed slower due to historical reasons, but we will eventually take this road. There is no question of who is the fan of whom.

Under such a concept, a careful study of Li Mu's troop deployment and combat plan in this battle can completely draw a core - around how to maximize the firepower.

The Yuanhuo group played the greatest role in this battle, and it also had the most important position in Li Mu's heart.

The third round of coverage strikes only made the devastated Eagle's Nest base even more devastated, and judging from the footage taken by the drone, basically no living person could escape from such fire coverage.

When the fourth round of strikes of the Far Fire Group extended to the retreat of the Eagle's Nest Base, many people in the Tiger's Den Base doubted whether the round of blows of the Far Fire Group could hit something.

An hour later, Jiang Zhongyi and Bian Guanlin strode into the command and control center with several cadres of the left-wing assault group.

The smell of gunpowder on Jiang Zhongyi's body had not yet dissipated, and he said to Li Mu with a smile, "Old Li, guess what gift we brought you." ”

"In this way, let you fight a surprise attack, and you will take the sheep by the hand. Li Mu said, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Liu Guisong and Yang Qingsong with smiling faces, as well as Gu Jiu with bandages on his arms.

"Hurt?" Li Mu walked over.

Gu Jiu said, "Old chief, I just scratched a little skin, and the field ambulance team insisted on bandaging me. ”

Liu Guisong leaned over and said mysteriously, "Old chief, we caught Wade." ”

Yang Qingsong's face was full of excitement, and said, "That guy is dressed as an ordinary soldier and wants to run, originally the shit king didn't want to chase him, but I looked familiar with it, so I rushed up with Jiu'er and captured Ya's life." Jiu'er's hand was shot and wounded by that guy. ”

"Bullshit, I shot at the time, okay, it wasn't that I broke his wrist with one shot, his shot must have killed Jiu'er. Liu Guisong defended loudly.

Li Mu waved his hand, "Okay, okay, don't be noisy, where are the people?"

Jiang Zhongyi pointed outside, "I'm in the separate room, guess you want to talk to him." ”

"There's nothing to talk about, let Political Commissar Zhang go, watch and deal with it. ”

After speaking, Li Mu turned around, glanced at all the personnel in the command and control center, and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I declare that the implementation phase of the Red Sea Campaign has come to an end! From now on, all the troops will retreat after clearing the battlefield and evacuate here according to the established plan! Let's all move!"

Everyone suddenly cheered up, and a battle like playing an online strategy game ended like this. More people are still unsatisfied, and the most profound feeling is undoubtedly Gao Ge, Zhang Lin, An Ruoyi, Lu Wei, Li Shuangkui and Shu Huimin, the six ace agents who followed Li Mu from the beginning.

They started from chasing Wade and Bolt to rescue the Raptors commandos, from the close firefight to seeing the tragic real battlefield, to now sitting in their own position in the command and control center, and the scene of the large-scale battle they saw from the big screen, they all felt a deep shock, and also formed the concept of war in their minds.

War has always been flesh and blood, and dry words and dry expressions are completely unable to express the immersive feeling at all.

For Li Mu, he achieved the most brilliant personal record so far - he led his troops to kill and wound more than 5,000 enemy troops, more than 300 combat vehicles, and more than 50 combat aircraft with one-third of the enemy's strength, while his own side only suffered a dozen casualties.

In the absence of a local war or world war in the future, the Red Sea Campaign may become the pinnacle of Li Mu's personal military career.

This is the second update today, happy holidays!
