The Marks of Intertwined Fates Chapter 86: The Turmoil of War (4)
Counting the troops, reorganizing the equipment, drawing up the march route and the attack plan, the four of them have been working around these for two days.
Major Hornason has a wealth of combat experience, and Paz is a trainer in the staff section of the Military Academy, so they have more say in how to march and fight than Reco, who came from the infantry class, and Tong Yao, who is used to fighting alone in the wilderness.
The two did not complain about being excluded from decision-making circles. Tong Yao has been trying to listen and understand, these things, no matter how much you pay, can't be absorbed from the wasteland. This is a culture that only large companies can have.
Major Hornason had 300 soldiers in the barracks below the headquarters, of which 90 had a full set of individual equipment, and the rest were stragglers, and it was difficult to even get a uniform in addition to the weapons in their hands.
Major Hornason still has a relatively well-trained army in Wolun, and has already sent a message to the adjutant who is leading the team there to be ready to go out at any time.
Rayco had a force of about twenty servants, who were generally armed with heavy machine guns, and had a full set of individual equipment and vehicles. Most of these people were Rako's schoolmates, and a small number were elite mercenaries who had been recruited.
Paz was richer than the two. Pat comes from a small family in the surrounding area, and the family has poured a lot into this kid, in addition to having a professional modern staff team of twelve people, there is also an armed force of eighty people.
The three of them joined forces in one place, with a total strength of more than 400 people.
They were all light infantry, there were no heavy armored vehicles in the ranks, and there were very few off-road vehicles. The three of them used their surplus money to buy a batch of shoulder-fired individual anti-tank missiles.
On the third day, the team marched towards Zavrol.
Before leaving, Jonathan handed over a well-trained company of about 30 people to Tong Yao to lead according to the previous agreement.
Seeing that the leader of the team was a girl, these men who licked blood from the knife edge were a little restless, and their eyes looking at Tong Yao were naked and full of aggression. However, when she knocked down a big man of more than 200 catties with her bare hands like a bean sprout, this hungry gaze instantly turned into a meek cat-like lowered gaze.
More than 200 kilometers, under the configuration of a full set of troop transport trucks and motorized maneuvers, it does not take a day to reach Zavrol.
The march was very smooth, and the scouts who came out were scattered very widely, basically eliminating the possibility of being attacked by a sneak attack, and after the camp was stationed, all affairs and military affairs were naturally handled. Pat's twelve-man staff was prepared for this.
Tong Yao stood on a hill, and when he looked down from here, he could see the whole picture of Zavrol.
Zavrol is a settlement with a population of more than 1,000, and it is also a new settlement that has just expanded in the first year of the new town.
The town is home to an armed group of 150 people, the rest of whom are workers, responsible for transporting and mining an iron ore mining site three kilometres from the town.
The whole town is semi-circular, with hills on the left and small forests on the right, which is relatively rich in natural resources, and the planting land outside the village is in the form of a steep slope, which is also more suitable for irrigation and planting rice, wheat, corn and other crops. It is far away from large cities, except for some sporadic beasts and lone metamorphosis, there is no frequent metamorphosis tide, and it is relatively safe and stable.
Paz and his men were surveying the mountains behind, and this time he brought seven artillery pieces to build an artillery position in the hilly area, which could effectively block the offensive from the opposite side.
The women and children of the town had largely been evacuated, the men were armed, the roads in the streets had been dug up, the earth had been brought up and made into barricades, the houses had been demolished, and some of the main roads had been blocked as ruins, and every house, every house, had one or more armed residents, most of them armed with old-fashioned sleeve guns, hiding behind the walls, and guarding cautiously and timidly.
The town commander intends to fight a blocking battle in the town, and when the gap between the enemy and the enemy is obvious, street fighting is the way to choose the choice.
By the time all the personnel were settled, it was already late at night when the scene was over.
Unable to sleep, Jonathan called the town inspector to inquire about the situation on the other side in the last few days.
The bearded man in the dark brown sheriff's hat was Zavrol's titular supreme commander, and he had a 150-strong contingent under his command, a number that swelled to five hundred when weapons were distributed to recruit the young and strong population.
Rao is so, in front of Hornathan, he is still respectful and humble.
"A few days ago, a round of feints was launched, there are not many of them, no more than four hundred, although they are well-trained, but the gap between their combat effectiveness and ours is not large, they also have a batch of armored vehicles, this is more difficult, I hope you have enough things to deal with armored vehicles." The bearded man chattered endlessly and reported on the situation of the battle he encountered.
"It gives me the feeling that they are not ready, and I think they will have more support to come," the bearded man used to be a special combat soldier, and he still has a unique vision.
"Passive defense is not the goal, if the conditions allow, I personally feel that I can launch a round of attacks and knock out the forward base on the opposite side." Pat stared at the map in front of him and whispered a proposal.
"There are not many of us, even if the army of Ron is transferred, it is only seven hundred, and the armed forces of Zavrol are also responsible for the garrison task, and they cannot be mobilized easily, seven hundred people sneak attack a camp of four hundred people, what are the odds of victory? These need to be studied carefully. ”
"What about the people of the clock tower? I didn't see them come up the whole time. ”
"Before the fire burns your eyebrows, you think they're going to go to war so quickly."
"Then at least we should give us some weapons and equipment before we die," Rayco was a little angry.
"Don't talk about it, Lieutenant Colonel Smail will come to our aid in a week, and our goal now is to hold on for a week."
"If it's just a regular tug-of-war of 400 people, let alone a week, even if it's half a month, I'm afraid that the other party will use unconventional force, then it will be troublesome."
"If you can't do anything, then you can only withdraw in disgrace, whoever loves to keep, who comes." Jonathan smiled and said in relief.
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, as long as they didn't stick to it, most of them were still willing to help. Away troops like them, what they are most afraid of is that the home commander's head will be pumped, and they will not retreat, these are basically the basic plates of each family, and if they are lost, they will be gone.
"Do you want me to take someone to investigate first?" Tong Yao stood up and asked.
"Okay, stay safe, and if you can't do anything, go back immediately." Jonathan nodded.
Tong Yao went back to tidy up his equipment, took five good hands, and quietly disappeared into the surrounding fields by taking advantage of the night.
Before he had taken a few steps, at the end of his vision, a shrill whistle sounded somewhere, followed by a flash of fire in the night on the other side, followed by the dying screams of a soldier, and finally a dull gunshot.
It was a forward outpost that spotted the enemy and whistled, but at the same time, because the whistle was spotted by the other side, the sniper fired a shot.
As the gunfire ended, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky, and three small black dots roared at an unusual speed, plunging headlong into the camp they had just set up, with an earth-shattering explosion, three huge fireballs rose into the air, and under the shock wave, the simple marching tent on the camp was like a castle made of sand, collapsing and burning, and the soldiers who were on fire crawled out of the tent, running heartbreakingly, screaming, and then falling headlong.
The bombardment consisting of three tactical missiles opened the curtain on the night attack.
The enemy attacked from the low slopes to the east. Sporadic gunfire unfolded around the trenches.
Zavrol deployed two platoons of blocking forces on the low slope to the east, the sky was buzzing and buzzing drones, 40 caliber tactical grenades were dropped by drones as if they were not paying for money, explosions sounded one after another on the sides of the trenches, the fire was blazing, and the whole night was illuminated.
Three old-time tanks cleared the way, and about a hundred armed soldiers crouched down and attacked the trenches.
All the !!
There was a faint howl in the air, and the bushes to the south were interspersed with an enemy force, which occupied the next steep slope and set up sixty-caliber mortars, indiscriminately bombarding several exits in Zavrol.
A team that went to the rescue was hit by mortar and fell for a while, and the rest of the team had to disperse into a nearby building to wait for help.
They only have two platoons, and at the bottom, with three tanks coming with a company of troops, and the follow-up is still a steady stream of input.
Tong Yao turned around, his pupils constricting sharply.
In different locations, striking lights lit up one after another, followed by a mixture of screams and gunfire.
More than just a sniper.
"Hold on and wait for help," Tong Yao took a deep breath, took off the rifle on his back, gave an order to a few people behind him, and rushed into the vast night.
She used her hands and feet together, and she was fast, and the bullets almost grazed her back.
Tong Yao threw herself at the position of the sniper who was the first and closest to the flames, and her whole person seemed to melt into the darkness. At high speeds, her tactical movements are standard to the extreme, snaking in a serpentine way to avoid most of the bullets that bite her ass.
Close, close.
She had already vaguely sensed his location, and the sniper had not yet spotted Tong Yao.
Suddenly, she jumped out of the grass, flashed, and then landed, the dagger in her hand was already in her hand, twisted hard, the sniper who was ambushed below opened his eyes angrily, and struggled hard for a moment or two, the tip of the dagger had stabbed into his throat, blood dripping down, Tong Yao's body seemed to be light and fluttering, but at the moment it weighed a thousand pounds, pressing on the sniper, the other party desperately climbed on the ground, but could not move a bit, until the blood was exhausted, he stopped struggling.
She set up her rifle and fired a short shot at the marching shadows below, and then left without looking back. A few seconds later, several defensive grenades were dropped, and with a thud, the hiding spot was blown to the ground.
Tong Yao is not a qualified sniper, if Ye Suqin is here, this will be his dark stage, with his perverted to the outrageous sniper art, these advancing troops will be ravaged like never before.
But—
Tong Yao didn't know anything about sniping, so he could only use the most primitive methods, keep moving, and then pull out those targets with high danger.
Such behavior is destined to be not too efficient, and the risk is not too low.
When Tong Yao disposed of the third sniper, there was a buzzing roar overhead, and two drones were under the command of the rear controller, heading towards this terrain, in addition to the four 40mm caliber high-explosive grenades on the abdomen, a mini machine gun was also mounted on the top of its four rotors.
It should be a six-millimeter pistol bullet, which is not very powerful, but the problem is that the camera on the opponent's abdomen has night vision, and Tong Yao, who is running in the wilderness, can be seen at a glance under its compound eyes.
A barrage of bullets shot out.
A curtain of dust flew on the ground.
Tong Yao dodged, slipped and fell to the ground, avoiding a series of bullets, and the moment he got up, he suddenly picked up a few grass stalks and shook them hard.
In the night, the grass-green light flashed away, and the two drones buzzed and roared and fell headlong in smoke.
More cries could be heard in the distance, and groups of soldiers were hugging in a skirmisher line.
Tong Yao's coordinates were completely exposed, and the commander on the opposite side was mobilizing up to three platoons of troops to encircle and intercept him. Obviously, he also sees that this is a high value-added target.
"Tong Yao, Tong Yao, can you hear me? I'm Paz. "The shouts of his teammates suddenly came to his mind, Tong Yao brought a short-distance communicator, but he didn't hang a headset, the voice was transmitted directly from his head, this is the ability of Paz overclocking and docking, which can be used in a short period of time, to any one or several people of our allies within the battlefield, of course, this role can also be used on the enemy.
"Go back, in the direction of six o'clock, keep running, when I say lie down, lie down immediately, Rako is rushing in your direction, you know what I mean."
Tong Yao didn't hesitate, he pulled out his legs and ran, heading towards six o'clock. She didn't hide her figure, but increased her speed to the maximum, and a group of soldiers behind saw her fast running figure, straightened up, and chased after her. The two sides chased me for about 200 meters, and suddenly the grass stalk that was one person tall began to fall down.
Tongues of fire swept over.
Tong Yao skillfully fell headlong, and the tongue of fire swept over her body, and the soldiers who came from behind her were torn apart by the scorching rain of bullets, and flesh, internal organs, and blood splattered out.
Vast swaths of soldiers were swept down, and blood pooled into rivers.
Recco stepped out of the back with a cigar in his hand, a spin-barrel Gatling machine gun in his hand, loaded with a heavy weapon, and fired a target at a distance of 300 meters with a heavy machine gun, just as an automatic rifle shot at a target at a distance of 100 meters.
Draped in heavy armor plates, he became a literal human-shaped machine gun fortress. From time to time, stray bullets hit his chest, and he was protected by steel and external armor plates, and ordinary bullets could not hurt him at all, while the cannon in his hand could easily take the life of ordinary soldiers.
Bullet casings cheered and jumped, gathering sand at their feet to form towers. As Major Hornason said, he was a strange guy who could carry three hundred pounds of ammunition on his back and was as agile as a monkey.
The soldiers of the rescue society below completely collapsed, and under the sweep of the tongue of fire, the wolves ran and the dogs ran away, and fled in all directions.
Two anti-tank missiles whizzed out. On the opposite low slope, three old-time tanks burst into a well-laid trap, surrounded by trenches, where their maneuver room was compressed, and several shooters emerged from the bungalows to project their anti-tank missiles.
It was night, and the Suitan infantry was busy fighting for control of the trenches, constantly fighting back and forth with the sneak attackers on the opposite side, thus ignoring the surprise attack of the rocket attackers on the opposite side.
The two missiles, one after the other, got into the tracks under the base plate of the tank, both veterans of the battlefield, and instead of aiming at the turret and front gear with thick armor, they chose the tracks.
Boom two bangs.
Countless track parts flew one after another, and the two chariots came to a halt in the middle of the road in a cloud of green smoke. The top tower door was opened, and the driver and operator scrambled to climb out of it, and were shot dead by the snipers who had been waiting for a long time.
