Chapter 273: Raid! Pounce!
The convoy had been moving forward for more than two hours and was only 10 minutes away from the first checkpoint.
Chen Shen picked up the walkie-talkie and began to issue detailed combat orders.
"We have a total of five checkpoints to break through, all of which are settlements along the Tachili Highway."
"Yaxin, Kam, Bantam Village, Xiaopeng Village, and finally Meiyan."
"The distance between each checkpoint is about 3 to 5 kilometers, and the total length of the defense zone is 12 kilometers."
"Among them, Meiyan is the most critical outpost, and the 505 Brigade has deployed heavy troops there, about 100 people, as well as heavy weapons."
"We must reach the village of Miyan before the camp at Tachili airfield reacts, and deploy artillery and rocket positions on two leveled heights on the west side of Miyan."
"The enemy's support will be very fast, and in half an hour at most, they will be able to organize a defense."
"So that means we can't knock out each checkpoint for more than three minutes."
"The first three are good to say, starting with Xiao Peng, the difficulty will rise sharply."
"Based on that, our plan is very simple."
"The assault group has a total of 12 vehicles, and for every checkpoint we knock out, we leave two vehicles behind to defend and clean up, waiting for the follow-up large force to pass."
"Then, after the passage of the large force, the assault group vehicles will chase forward, converge with the other assault group vehicles, and gather all their firepower to launch a quick strike once they reach Chaupeng."
"After defeating Miyan, we must continue to advance and block the only way between the Tachili airfield camp and Miyan Village, hold back the enemy who comes to support, and buy time for the follow-up troops to deploy."
"We're going to have to hold on for at least 20 minutes, and no matter how difficult it is, we're going to have to bite them to the death."
"That's what combat missions are, clear?"
"Clear!"
The response of the various groups came over the radio, and Chen Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the vanguard vehicle of the assault group, that is, the warrior that Chen Shen was riding, had reached the edge of Yaxin Village, Chen Shen saw the lights in the distance, so he immediately ordered all vehicles to stop, shorten the distance between vehicles, and prepare to launch a surprise attack.
The helicopter that had gone to Mengxiu to pick up the people had already reached the sky over the convoy, and Bao Qi on the helicopter activated the listening radio and filled all the enemy's communication channels with high-power communications.
——
However, this action is actually a bit redundant, because all the way over, the 505th Brigade did not move at all.
It was clear that the sentry posts arranged by Zhao Jialiang did not work as well as they should, and they still did not know anything about the surprise attack launched by the coalition forces.
This is good news, but such an advantage will not last long.
As long as the first checkpoint starts, no matter what, Zhao Jialiang will immediately get information and make preparations.
It must be fast, so fast that even if he notices it, he won't have time to react.
Chen Shen confirmed the readiness of the entire assault team one last time, and then the drone was released and began to drive in the direction of Yaxin Village.
The real-time picture immediately appeared on the screen, and with the blessing of active infrared imaging, the enemy's personnel and firepower were displayed at a glance.
They were still patrolling and guarding leisurely and in order, but by this time, Chen Shen had already re-mounted in the car and was ready to launch a surprise attack.
The roar of the engines suddenly sounded, and the 12 armed vehicles moved forward at full speed.
In just two minutes, the convoy had already crossed a distance of two kilometers and suddenly appeared in front of the Yaxin outpost.
According to the guidance of the drone, Chen Shen quickly made a deployment.
"The machine gun pickup truck is in front, changes formation, and suppresses the fire points near the outpost!"
"F-150, hit a round of 12 shells and take out the enemy in the bunker!"
"Cars 11 and 12 get out of the car, set up a cloud burst bazooka, and take out the enemy in the bunker!"
"Eight groups of men broke through the pillboxes and cleared the enemy stragglers and cleared the roadblocks for the convoy."
"White dog, monitor the drone footage and provide real-time information to the 8 groups!"
"Understood!"
Everyone replied again, and with the unique advantage of aerial reconnaissance, this time the assault was extremely smooth.
After just one round of fire suppression, more than 30 enemies at the checkpoint had already dispersed, and then the assault convoy rushed past and began to sweep away the enemy who were trying to resist along the line.
The Warrior didn't fire at all, only the 12.7mm machine gun on the Paramount Marauder kept firing.
The fleeing enemies were knocked down one by one, and they could not even fight back even the most basic.
After entering the checkpoint, Paramount and the Warrior swapped places, and as a mine-protected anti-ambush vehicle, it once again played a role.
A weak minefield was rushed through, explosions rang out, but the car did not receive any damage at all.
The only moment it slowed down was when he waited for the 8 groups to clear the barricades.
Only one minute had passed, and the assault group had completely passed through the Yaxin outpost.
Behind them, the two machine gun pickups that had been left behind had already begun to sweep the small village with the infantry advancing on foot.
All the enemies had nowhere to hide, and before they even had time to run into the building, they were captured one by one and named.
The revolt quickly collapsed, and people kept dropping their weapons and surrendering on their knees, but they were unrelenting in sending bullets into the bodies of every combatant who had "ever taken up arms."
It was a raid, but more like a one-sided massacre.
The battle had just begun, but the pace had already been stretched to the limit in an instant.
Everyone's hands were hot, and the adrenaline rush had a better effect than all the other drugs!
Four minutes later, the entire Yaxin camp was completely cleared, and by this time, 10 vehicles of the assault group had reached the second outpost.
The drone began to rush to the next battlefield, and the remote control distance of 9 kilometers completely covered the entire front, and the exact same plot happened again, suppressing, blasting, opening the road, and sweeping.
There are more people at the checkpoint in Kam Village than in Yaxin Village, but the Dongfeng Corps takes less time!
The commands on the radio became more and more intensive, but in this high-intensity command, Chen Shen maintained a calm as if he was strolling in the court.
"Groups 9 and 10 leave cover, groups 11 and 12 catch up with the strikers!"
"Understood, moving forward."
"6 groups reported that small groups of enemy support forces were spotted and requested to actively intercept them to the flanks."
"Interception allowed, 30 seconds!"
"Understood, thirty seconds!"
"Group 7 has found a rout of the enemy and is dealing with it."
"Don't delay too much, don't pursue."
"Understood, I'll be back immediately."
"Group 1 found enemy support troops, from post 3, with about 50 people."
"4 groups of forward support, defeat them!"
A series of orders were given, and in another two minutes, the remaining eight vehicles of the convoy had already rushed through the camp of Cam and made a surprise attack on Bantam.
After defeating the support from Bantam Village at Outpost 3, the team's march was finally hampered for the first time.
It's not that you can't beat it, it's because of the barricades!
The defenders of Bantam Village have finally learned to be smart, and instead of intercepting this assault convoy head-on, they are trying to completely block the entire road with a large number of vehicles!
To pass, the Dongfeng Corps would either have to enter residential areas and take a detour along the trail, or they would have to drive into the farmland on either side of the village.
Either way, the speed of the assault will be severely slowed down, and the risk will increase significantly.
However, Chen Shen had long been prepared for the situation of "the emergence of a large-scale roadblock".
Nonsense, the 505 Brigade is not a fool, no matter how stupid they are, it is impossible for them not to even think of the trick of "scrapped cars blocking the road", right?
If I don't fight you, I'll throw the barricade in front of you, what can you do?
Detours? Let's go around.
The farther you go around, the more time the troops behind will have to prepare.
——
Such a strategy is really scoundrel and invincible, but the problem is that Chen Shen has no intention of making a detour at all.
What is a helicopter used for?
Just to suppress!
Taking advantage of the fact that the barricades were not yet fully formed, Chen Shen decisively gave an order.
"Firebird, rockets blow up!"
"Artillery coordination, open the way for me!"
"Understood."
Cheng Lei's calm voice sounded in Chen Shen's ears, and then, the helicopter on standby in the air finally launched a surprise attack!
Airborne rockets washed the ground, and the entire Dachili Highway instantly swelled with a sea of fire!
And in this sea of fire, 8 assault vehicles rushed by!
In front of them, there was a fire that was constantly exploding.
Behind them, charred wreckage.
The self-proclaimed clever defenders of Bantam Village paid the price, and they held off the Dongfeng Corps for even less time than the first two outposts.
It has been 10 minutes since the attack was launched.
And the assault group of the Dongfeng Corps has already crossed a distance of 8 kilometers.
Such a speed, even in an ordinary convoy maneuver, is already amazingly fast, and they fought all the way!
The fourth checkpoint was in front of him, and the enemy was on standby, Chen Shen did not pursue speed anymore, but waited for the drone to fly back and conduct high-altitude reconnaissance ahead.
The enemy's fire deployment is unobstructed, without recoiler guns, M56 mountain guns, rocket launchers, heavy machine guns
It's almost an impregnable line of defense, but
The premise is that they have to see people.
Chen Shen took a deep breath and gave a new order.
"The convoy stopped, adjusted its position to meet me."
"At a distance of 1 km, UAVs guide, heavy machine guns carry out overtake fire, all automatic grenades fire, carry out covering strikes."
"Take the visually visible billboard as the direction parameter, adjust the high and low density 1100 meters, and fire with all your might!"
"Understood!"
Chen Shen used the simplest and most direct reference method to shoot, which was undoubtedly the simplest and most effective plan for the current battle situation and the level of his team.
All vehicles opened fire, and grenades and 12.7 mm bullets rained down like hail.
From the perspective of the drone, sparks exploded one after another on the enemy's defensive line, and according to the grenade landing point information transmitted back by the drone, Chen Shen constantly reported the parameters and accurately adjusted the shooting angle.
The enemy troops hiding behind the bunkers of civilian houses suffered and they did not even know which direction the blow was coming from.
In just 30 seconds, more than 200 grenades fell, assuming that the two anti-aircraft guns on the roof of the building were also destroyed, and then, the Mi-171SH made a low-altitude raid to carry out the final sweep of the enemy at the No. 4 Xiaopeng village outpost.
The resistance had completely collapsed, and by this time, the four machine gun pickups that had initially remained at posts 1 and 2 had completed their mission of receiving the passage of the large force, rejoining with the strikers, bringing the convoy back to 10 vehicles.
The firepower was replenished again, and Chen Shen did not hesitate to lead the team to rush through Xiaopeng Village, and after leaving two pickup trucks to clean up, all the staff rushed to Meiyan Village, which was 3 kilometers away.
This is the last stronghold, and the most critical.
It's even more difficult to take it down than the previous 4 strongholds combined!
However, Chen Shen is no longer in a hurry.
Because, at a distance of 11 km, the heavy artillery company has already completed its cantonment.
6 heavy guns, already erected.
And under the command of Bao Qi, who had already taken the time to complete the rope landing, all the heavy artillery muzzles had locked on the enemy in Meiyan Village!
"Prioritize the destruction of anti-aircraft fire and create opportunities for helicopters to drop bombs."
"Understood, ruler 80, datum shot, left 45, salvo loading, put!"
"Boom!"
The roar of the salvo spread throughout the sky of Tachili, and a moment later several shells fell, "not precisely" on the first anti-aircraft position in the village of Miyan.
Obviously, Bao Qi didn't have much hope for the accuracy of the artillery bombardment, so he didn't play the trick of multi-artillery and multi-shot, but directly used a salvo covering strike to destroy the enemy's firepower to the greatest extent!
His choice was very effective, and after the first round of firing, the first anti-aircraft position was muted before it had time to open fire.
The enemy reacted instantaneously and began to try to divert several anti-aircraft guns.
But, it's too late.
The second round of shelling came as scheduled, and it was another complete destruction.
By this time, the helicopter had already advanced to a distance of less than a kilometer under the cover of artillery fire from the ground.
For an experienced and skilled pilot like Cheng Lei, this distance is the distance between life and death.
"The Firebird has reached the target airspace, and the enemy fortress has been visually spotted and can drop bombs."
"Bomb dropping is allowed!"
At the sound of an order, the simple padlock designed by Cheng Lei himself was immediately lifted.
Subsequently, the captured 250kg bomb fell and smashed straight into the tallest commercial building in Meiyan Village.
This was supposed to be a level that was not opened, it was perfectly oriented, there were many bunkers, a wide range of shots, and the steel-concrete structure was extremely strong, but.
It can't carry a 250kg bomb.
After a violent explosion, the six-story building collapsed in an instant.
And this also means that there are only a few minutes left before the Meiyan Village checkpoint completely falls.
"No. 1, direct the extension of artillery fire and cut off the enemy's retreat."
"Firebird, establish air supremacy, look for the remaining air defense forces to knock out."
"White Dog, indicate key targets, direct howitzer fire, and knock out the enemy on a large scale."
"The rest of the assault team cleared along the highway and threw smoke bombs on both sides of the highway to block the enemy's firing boundary."
"Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 continue to assault with me, go to the Tachili Airport camp, and the others, quickly follow after completing the current mission!"
"Understood!"
Gunfire erupted.
After 10 minutes, the entire armed forces of Meiyan were almost swept away.
Resistance was almost non-existent, heavy artillery, aerial bombs, rockets dropped from the air.
Densely falling grenades, heavy machine guns sweeping everywhere, and "iron warriors" wearing heavy armor that can't be killed even if a bullet hits.
Where have these militiamen of the 505 Brigade, who have been peaceful for a long time, seen such a scene?
They didn't even dare to think about what enemy they were facing, and there was only one thought left in their minds.
Run!
It's messed up, it's completely messed up.
All the people who originally lived here fled in a hurry, or rather, they were actually forced away by the Dongfeng Corps with guns and cannons.
It's brutal and even somewhat. Inhumane.
However, Chen Shen can't manage so much.
Because he knows that any hesitation on the battlefield can bring about destruction.
Drive the people away, and they still have a chance to survive.
Can they stay in Meiyan?
The artillery fire of the 505 Brigade will not care whether you civilians live or die!
Run, run out, and you will live.
Twenty-five minutes had passed, and a large force of the "Rocket Army" rushed to Meiyan and began to open up rocket artillery positions.
Counter-battery radars were deployed, lights flashed on position No. 1, which was a false target, and more than a dozen empty vehicles were assembled there.
They will be destroyed, but that's what it's worth.
Chen Shen didn't have time to care about things in the rear.
In the direction of the Great Force, the first support unit of the 505 Brigade is already being assembled.
The distance is less than two kilometers, and it only takes 5 minutes at most, and they can drive in front of the rocket position of the Dongfeng Corps.
But, they can't go.
Because in the 20th minute after the start of the battle, the vanguard of the assault group of the Dongfeng Corps had already rushed to the vicinity of the camp at the Tachili airfield.
Fast, extremely fast.
They don't care about anything, everything they do, just for this opportunity.
Opportunities to disrupt the enemy's assembly process.
Three-quarters of the ammunition of the assault group had been removed, and they were going to use the last quarter of the ammunition to completely disrupt the enemy's rhythm and give the 40 rockets 15 minutes.
80, to two thousand.
I can't beat it.
So Chen Shen didn't fight at all.
What he's going to do now is the same thing he's going to do in 15 minutes.
That is, throwing something that will explode on the enemy's head.
