Chapter 284: Cloud Wall
It is practically impossible to mobilize a large contingent of 3,000 people without being detected.
There was no need for any sophisticated and advanced reconnaissance means, and a large number of military vehicles suddenly appeared on the only main road, and the fool knew what these people were going to do.
In the modern communications environment, such a transfer will not only be leaked, but may even be live-streamed.
Therefore, Chen Shen did not hold out any hope for secrecy from the beginning, and he only modified and concealed the key vehicle pretending to be the RD4 smoke generator to ensure that it would not be quickly identified and destroyed.
As for the possible attack during the troop movement, he did not worry too much.
The reason is very simple, at this time, the 505th Brigade has been dragged to death by the rebels of the 4th Regiment in Tachili, and he should not and cannot leave Tachili to launch any "external" attack.
Of course, in order to prevent Zhao Jialiang from taking out some ambushes that he did not know, Chen Shen still managed the coalition forces in strict accordance with the process of transferring large troops to the field and maneuvering, completed the transfer in batches and in an organized manner, and arranged the sentry posts, stabilizing the logistics line from Jingdong to Daqili.
This logistical line is quite fragile, and Chen Shen never expected it to really play a big role.
After all, the coalition's attack on Tachili is a one-shot deal, and if it can be defeated, it will be fought, and if it can't be defeated.
There is only a complete showdown and let the Wa State take over.
The 3,000-strong party soon reached the village of Miyeon, on the north side of Tachili, where they re-encamped and set up their starting position.
Looking at the traces of those who had fought, the veterans who followed Chen Shen to launch a rocket artillery attack on Dachili also had mixed feelings.
In their opinion, that operation was an unprecedented "miracle".
They didn't pay the price of a single soldier, and they actually directly broke and shattered an entire enemy regimental team!
How else is the battle fought?
Last time I was able to play, this time it should. Can you fight too?
The atmosphere during the camp was quite relaxed, and the veterans pointed to the marks on the ground and the few remaining launchers to tell the recruits, "This is our rocket artillery position at that time", while the recruits cleaned up the position with envy and set up new rocket launchers.
This time, they were going to fight in urban street fighting, so the rockets that lacked precision were no longer the main equipment, but were used to deal with the sneak attacks that the enemy might organize to the rear, so they were still in the right place.
"You didn't see that scene at the time, the rockets were like rain!"
"I mean it's raining, it's dense, it's all at once."
"I'm specialized in carrying cannonballs, I'm so tired that my hands are cramping, and then Lao Qi came to replace me again, Lao Qi, how many cannonballs did we move in total?"
"There must be more than a hundred, right?"
"Yes, at least more than 100 rounds! It's tiring, a launcher, it takes 8 people to load, and there are only two people to carry it, so it's really exhausting."
"But the effect is really good, from beginning to end, the 505 Brigade did not resist at all"
"Hey, this time it's different, this time it's really going to get in, it's not that simple."
"Not necessarily, didn't Chief Chen get new equipment this time?"
"That's right-—— you recruits should also hurry up and learn how to use a thermal imager, and if we fall, you will have to take it and use it."
"Seventh, come and teach them! By the way, check if they will use gas masks! ”
"Okay, come here"
Chen Shen patrolled the entire camp, listening to the slightly chaotic conversations in his ears, and basically everywhere he walked, people who saw him stood up and saluted him.
——
Of course, this is not because everyone knows him, but because the dress of the Dongfeng Corps is very recognizable, with four-eye night vision devices + gas masks, as well as body armor that is as heavy as medieval knights, plus the eye-catching flame markings on their masks and helmets, at a glance, you can know who this team is and what it is going to do.
Everyone knew that their elite, who should have sat in the rear and commanded, would be the first to take the lead in rushing in to fight the outpost, so most of the soldiers still had a little "admiration" for this corps.
Nonsense, people could have let you be cannon fodder with peace of mind, but they willingly took over the most difficult and dangerous work, and let these rookies behind you clean up the battlefield and take credit, isn't it worth calling people "big brother"?
People are self-interested many times, but most of the time, they also love and hate.
Therefore, the authority of the Dongfeng Corps has been greatly enhanced in the coalition forces, and this improvement in authority is undoubtedly conducive to subsequent operations.
After looking around the entire camp and checking the operational deployment of He Bangxiong and He Bupa, Chen Shen also relaxed a little.
Although it is said that Pubei's warlord dish, this is Pubei after all, and it is one of the monster houses in East Asia.
Near Zhu Zhechi, no matter how much they cooked, they also learned a lot of basic things under the influence of their ears and eyes.
In terms of tactical arrangement, task allocation, and offensive round echelon, both He Bupa and He Bangxiong have done a good job.
Several of the key objectives requested by Chen Shen have been taken care of, and the number of troops invested is also extremely abundant.
There are no tricks, some are just step-by-step, neat old tactics.
Chen Shen was very satisfied with such an arrangement.
Because, this is what the troops should really do all the time.
So, he refocused on his Dongfeng Corps.
To open a breakthrough, this sharp knife force, which is only composed of 29 people, is the focus of the focus.
In the temporary headquarters, Chen Shen confirmed the adaptation of various types of equipment for the last time, and after receiving the feedback that "everything is normal", he immediately began to conduct pre-war briefings and deploy combat missions.
The drone reconnaissance in the early stage has been completed, and the important firepower points in Tachili City have been marked, and the surprise attack against these firepower points is the combat mission of the Dongfeng Corps.
Our operational objectives this time are divided into three phases."
"In the first phase, the road is opened; In the second stage, the key points are cleaned; The third stage is to close the decapitation. ”
"First of all, in the first stage, Zhao Jialiang arranged 6 key checkpoints on the main route into the city, of which 3 are located along the Dachili Highway on the north side, 2 are located in the farmland near the Wangjia compound on the east side, and 1 is near the dawn sanatorium."
"These 6 checkpoints basically control all the main routes into the city, and if they are not defeated in advance, it will be difficult for our large troops to go deep and deploy quickly."
"And once the speed of entering the city is reduced, we will have to face the extremely inferior situation of having no cover and having cover, and light firepower and heavy firepower, and the entire offensive operation will inevitably fail, and the morale and organization of the army will also be dealt a major blow."
"So, what we have to do is very simple, that is, while the large force is attacking, in the process of the large force maneuvering, first knock out the first key choke point, which is the No. 1 level."
"Time is the time when the large army starts from the front line and reaches the edge of the city and the range of fire of the defending army."
"Based on the speed of the vehicle, we have a total of .6 minutes."
"In six minutes, we had to take out the stronghold across the Tachili Stadium, which meant that we couldn't juggle other levels and had to rely on long-range firepower."
"The good news is that we have close to 80 shells left for our heavy artillery."
"Then, the strikes on the checkpoints on the east and west sides will be mainly completed with heavy artillery."
"After the strike is completed, Bao Qi, you have to quickly adjust the artillery target, use the artillery extension tactic, and then carry out a wave of strikes on the last two checkpoints on the north side."
"The two checkpoints in this part are hidden in the urban area, and the effect of artillery strikes will not be too good, our main purpose is to form a psychological deterrent to the enemy, and the real sweep must be completed by the ground forces."
"3 vehicles equipped with automatic howitzers must empty all the ammunition on this route, form a rapid suppression of the enemy, and occupy the enemy's positions, control the main communication routes, and hold on until the arrival of large forces."
"Subsequently, after the large force took over the defense, we took the last of the three outposts, that is, the Belden Hotel, as the assembly point, and set up a starting position for the line of fire here, and carried out the second phase of the cleaning and support operation with this as the center."
"Is the mission clear?"
"Clear!"
Everyone answered in unison, Chen Shen nodded in satisfaction, and then continued:
"All of the above operations were carried out under the premise of smoke cover."
"Old pig, your task is to dispatch the smoke generators and protect the two smoke assault vehicles that are following us."
"No matter what happens, even if you send the armored vehicle to block the smoke assault vehicle, it is a reasonable choice."
"Remember, fog trucks are the number one priority for protection, understand?"
"Understood!"
The old pig hurriedly replied.
At this time, he was a little nervous - after all, this was the first time he participated in foreign combat operations after officially joining the Dongfeng Corps, and what he didn't expect was that the first battle was actually such a large-scale and big scene
He is actually quite confident in his abilities, but for some reason, he always feels like a rookie in front of his new commander
And after getting the old pig's answer, Chen Shen didn't confirm it again and again.
There is no suspicion in employing people, no need to suspect people, no matter what kind of work he can do, it is him.
After a slight pause, Chen Shen continued to issue orders to Cheng Lei.
"Firebird, your task this time is very simple, that is, to cooperate with us to maneuver at various points in the city."
"According to the preliminary reconnaissance intelligence, the city still has considerable anti-aircraft firepower, especially individual anti-aircraft firepower."
"And we're likely to have to do multiple landing operations, which is very risky."
"I give you the greatest decision-making power, you choose the landing position, and you have to ensure maximum safety for me!"
"Understood! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Cheng Lei replied calmly and resolutely, his eyes were even full of some indescribable expectation.
I'm afraid he has been looking forward to the "tough battle" for half of his life, and it is only today that it has finally been fought
Chen Shen glanced at the combat map and continued to give a more detailed briefing.
And when everything was arranged, it was already dawning.
The offensive will be launched in two hours.
That's right, not a night fight.
The reason is very simple, the heat source of the city's internal light source is too complex, and it is difficult to give full play to the infrared advantage of the coalition forces in the absence of a city-wide power outage.
Instead of that, it's better to attack during the day and use the smoke to the fullest!
Chen Shen took a deep breath, glanced at everyone and said:
"Ready to go to war."
"No. 1, command the artillery unit, launch an artillery bombardment on the predetermined targets and eliminate the enemy's fire points!"
"Others, quickly pack and get ready to go!"
At the same time, inside the city of Tachili.
Zhao Jialiang has been transferred to a safer "fortress", and at this time by his side is the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 505 Brigade and his last "cronies", Zhao Youming.
"The 3,000 men of the coalition army have already pressed over, and it is clear that they are planning to fight a siege battle with us."
"In terms of troops, they still have the advantage, but now that we have retreated into the city, it will not be so easy for them to defeat them."
"3,000 people fighting 2,000 people, or fighting in the streets, I really owe them to be able to think of it."
"But also, our geographical location here is too special, and we can't engage in siege warfare like Jing Dong, so fighting hard is the only option."
Zhao Youming said as he handed the updated battle map to Zhao Jialiang's eyes, Zhao Jialiang nodded slightly, and after looking at it carefully, he said suspiciously:
"I really don't understand what they're trying to do. Only one departure position was established, that is, all their teams were to set off from the same direction. ”
"This is too reckless, it's not at the same level as their previous tactical level."
"Indeed."
Zhao Youming subconsciously scratched his head, and then said:
"Maybe it's because there are too many people and the organization can't keep up?"
"Their previous style of play was actually more opportunistic, and they didn't really play the effect of tactical command."
"Now that there are more and more people, the command can't keep up, and it's reasonable to have flaws, right?"
"Reasonable, but unconscionable."
Zhao Jialiang shook his head and was silent.
At this time, there were bursts of explosions outside the window, which were artillery bombardments launched by coalition forces on the city.
Both men inside the fort knew well that this was a signal that the other was about to attack.
But. What's the use of just a round of shelling?
It can't get in, it still can't get in anyway.
Yes, you have a very strong ability to shell indirectly, and you will blow up all the main positions I have arranged.
But my people are not stupid, won't they hide when the shells come?
The shelling is going to end, right?
In urban street fighting, heavy firepower doesn't do much-—— unless you have unlimited heavy firepower.
But how could you have it?
In the final analysis, it is the collision of people
Zhao Jialiang shook his head, turned around and continued to look at the combat map, preparing to make a round of deployment adjustments after the shelling, but at this moment, the door of the command post was suddenly knocked violently, and then, the panicked face of the intelligence officer appeared in front of Zhao Jialiang.
"Sir! Smoke! What a big smoke! ”
Zhao Jialiang's heart jumped suddenly, but then settled down again.
This is a classic tactic of the Dongfeng Corps, and it is not surprising.
So, he opened his mouth and rebuked:
"What a panic! They want to smoke first when they fight, so what's there to be afraid of? ”
"Hide it and wait for the smoke to clear."
"No, sir! Can't disperse! Great smoke! You. Come and see! ”
At this moment, Zhao Jialiang really realized that something was wrong.
He walked out of the command post after the intelligence officer, and what he saw made him stunned directly.
What a big smoke.
It's not even smoke anymore.
It's a wall of clouds that obscures the sky!
The milky white wall of clouds is slowly advancing, and everything is being swallowed up.
And in that fog.
Hidden infinite killing opportunities!
