Chapter 363: False Target

The helicopter flew northwest, reached the skies over Lake Matana and turned north, before landing near Tuna Farm as planned.

The Dongfeng Corps did not encounter any obstacles, but from a distance of nearly 5 kilometers, they could already hear the faint sound of gunfire in the distance.

It was clear that the attacking and defending sides of the Mobile Brigade were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, and it was absolutely impossible for the defenders to hold out for long without a superior number of people.

The situation was critical, Chen Shen didn't have time to think about it, he directly broke into the farm with a gun, and found the only means of transportation here-—— two women's motorcycles.

Although it is a little simple, the two cars can fit a reconnaissance team of 4 people, and even relatively speaking, the security is higher, which is suitable for the use of the reconnaissance team.

After all, on the battlefield, as long as it is not a bulletproof vehicle, there is not much difference whether there is that layer of iron in the way or not.

The motorcycle target is small, it is not easy to eat rockets, and it is easy to get on and off the car, and it can quickly make counterattack actions, which has a very obvious advantage.

So, Shi Dakai led the team, the reconnaissance team set off quickly, and Chen Shen led the other personnel to advance on foot and rushed to the target area.

In fact, a distance of 5 kilometers is not a long-distance attack at all, but the Eastern Corps must arrive at the fastest speed, and the physical requirements for personnel are still quite high.

But fortunately, even the recruits who have just arrived do not have any problems with their physical fitness.

It only took 15 minutes for the heavily armed Dongfeng Corps to cover a distance of two kilometers, and at this time, the first round of reconnaissance information of the reconnaissance team had already arrived.

"We have reached the target area, and the battle between the offensive and defensive sides is very fierce."

"The target is located in the center of the village of Noha on the shore of Lake Matana, the defenders are defending around the village buildings, and the attackers are attacking from 4 directions."

"The number of defenders is about 20, and the number of attackers is about 60."

"There is no heavy equipment on either side."

"It's a strange situation, and the focus of the fight doesn't seem to be on the core of the village, but on the bridge on the north side outside the village of Noha."

"The defenders seemed to be trying to break through the bridge, but the attackers were so strong that they were pressed back many times."

Hearing this, Chen Shen couldn't help frowning.

True, in the case of surroundment, it is possible to break through in any direction.

Only by breaking the encirclement and relying on mobility to reduce the area of engagement with the enemy and reduce the casualty rate of our own side can it be possible to continue to organize effective interception and interception and cover the evacuation of core targets.

But the problem is that, judging by the topography of the village of Noha, choosing the northern side to break through is the most irrational option.

The reason is simple, the bridge on the north side of Noha Village is connected to the main traffic road, which seems to be conducive to evacuation, but in fact, you run fast and the enemy chases quickly.

Coupled with the difference in numbers between the offensive and defensive sides, relying on the powerful terrain, the attacker can quickly concentrate superior forces, arrange enough forces on the focus of contention, and eat away at the defender's breakthrough force little by little!

The defender is already small in number, and after the personnel are further consumed, the gap with the attacker will be even greater.

Because in the case of 20 to 60, the five killed are not as simple as pulling the gap in personnel from 40 to 45, but from three times to four times the ratio of forces!

An experienced commander would never have made such a decision, he would either choose to continue to hold on to reinforcements, or he would choose to break through in the direction of a non-main road, using rough and inconvenient terrain to limit the difference in forces between the two sides.

And now, the commander of the defending side of the mobile brigade is clearly blind.

That means that he probably didn't get the news that support was coming, and was trying to break through with his own strength!

Such a situation is very dangerous, and what is even more dangerous is that the current Dongfeng Corps has no way to establish contact with the other party!

Can't wait any longer.

You can't wait for all your forces to be in place before launching an attack, because by that time, the defenders of the mobile brigade are likely to have been emptied, and it will be a complete fool's dream if you want to save people!

Thinking of this, Chen Shen said decisively:

"1 group is divided into two teams, snipers and machine gunners stay, attack immediately!"

"Relying on the favorable terrain of the outer jungle, attack the enemy through sniping and scattered shooting, attract enemy firepower, and reduce the pressure on the defender!"

"We must immediately make our identity clear to the defenders, let them see the existence of support forces, and give up aggressive play!"

"The rest of the team, drive the motorcycle back to pick up people!"

"Understood!"

Shi Dakai replied immediately, and immediately after, the sound of sniper rifle fire was heard on the radio.

"Everyone, full speed ahead!"

Chen Shen gave an order, and all the staff increased their speed again, and just 5 minutes later, two women's motorcycles appeared in everyone's sight again.

The mercenaries of the Dongfeng Corps wearing a full set of protective equipment were too large, and a motorcycle could only carry two people at most, so there was no way to play the kind of snack that the Indians did, so Chen Shen could only arrange for the machine gunner to get on the car first and provide fire support to the remaining two people in the reconnaissance team.

At this moment, he deeply felt the great significance of "projection ability", and even to a certain extent, he empathized with the "acrobatic performance" of the third brother.

One thing to say, if the Dongfeng Corps has practiced their hand, let alone two motorcycles, even if there is only one, the personnel can be completely carried in place!

However, fantasy is just fantasy after all, and all he can do now is to arrange two motorcycles to constantly pick up and drop off people while moving forward on foot.

The good news is that after the first round of delivery, the firepower of three light machine guns and one sniper rifle has formed a sufficient suppressive force, especially when all of their own troops are heavily armoured and the other side only has a small amount of body armor, the "rebels" of the mobile brigade soon retreated, the positions originally deployed near the bridge were seized, the main communication routes were controlled, and the safety of the Dongfeng Corps' troop projection was further guaranteed.

Everything went very smoothly, and 10 minutes later, Chen Shen led the team to the position on the north side of Nuoha Village, where all 13 members of the Dongfeng Corps converged and formed a pincer offensive with the defenders of the mobile brigade, suppressing the rebels in the buildings on the outskirts of Nuoha Village.

For a mobile brigade with only light weapons, the pressure on the Dongfeng Corps can be described as overwhelming.

After the arrival of the Dongfeng Corps, the rate of attrition of the rebels increased rapidly, and before he even had time to shoot, he saw two rebel squads trying to retake their positions and being brought down by a round of blocking fire from two machine guns.

They desperately tried to find cover on the ground, but soon, the snipers on the side of the Dongfeng Corps locked on to their position.

Poplar was the first to shoot, and the M24 in his hand fired a 7.62mm bullet that easily pierced the head of an enemy.

The man was lying on the ground with his head down, and the fear brought by the dense fire made him dare not raise his head at all, and even his body was trembling.

——

However, as Chen Shen said, on the battlefield, fear is death.

Because fear will distort your movements, make your judgment inaccurate, and make you think that as long as you can't see, there is no risk.

In essence, the soldier who shrinks his head on the battlefield is not much different from the child who sleeps with his head covered by a quilt at night, perhaps the only difference is that there is no demon outside the quilt to devour people, but over the bunker, there will really be bullets that will constantly kill.

Bullets were fired from the top of the enemy's head and subsequently from the jaw.

His head slammed to the ground, and after a small puff of smoke and dust was blown away, there was no movement.

The blood and brains that flowed out stained the dirt on the ground into a complex color, and after seeing this scene, his comrades around him were directly frightened and jumped.

The bullets fired by the M249 knocked down the enemy as they stood up, and in less than two minutes, the two squads had lost more than half of their losses.

The starting position of the Dongfeng Corps was completely stabilized, and Chen Shen immediately ordered:

"Smoke bombs!"

"According to the division of the combat group, the 1st and 2nd groups of 7 people with double arrows outflanked from the west flank, cleared the enemy's peripheral firepower points, and compressed the enemy's activity space."

"The 3rd group continued to carry out fire suppression, covering the advance of the 1st and 2nd groups."

"Group 4 follow me, detour from the east side, occupy the high ground on the east side, and establish a fire position!"

"Understood!"

All the team members immediately replied, and at this time, the defenders of the Mobile Brigade also began to launch a counterattack.

They had already identified the support forces, and after most of the fire was attracted, they began to attack the weak rebel positions on the western side of the line.

But it's a pity that they are not the Dongfeng Corps after all, and they do not have enough equipment to resist small arms bullets.

A squad bypassed the houses on the west side and used the wall as a cover to shoot at the rebels on the hillside in the distance, their position was immediately exposed, and nearly ten guns were aimed at the squad as if they had found soft persimmons, and all four members of the squad were killed in just one round of fire.

Seeing this scene, Chen Shen was simply dumbfounded.

Depend on!

What the?!

Can't you just stay where you are and wait for us to fight?

Who the hell has ever seen that the support has arrived, and they still want to fight out desperately?

Isn't it good to use cover to exert pressure, disrupt enemy decision-making, and provide cover for peripheral support forces?

Sure enough, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

After the defenders were completely wiped out, there was a huge firepower gap in the western defense line of Noha Village, and the rebels immediately seized the breakthrough and quickly carried out a new round of tactical arrangements.

The two 10-man squads that were originally on the north side were dispatched to the west, preparing to intercept the two groups of the Dongfeng Corps attacking from the flank, while the 10-man detachment on the west side left two people to cover, and the rest of the personnel quickly launched a surprise attack to the central area of Nuoha Village!

At this time, the two arrows on the flank of the Dongfeng Corps were still 300 meters away from the western defensive line, and there were rebels on the north side in the middle trying to intercept them.

Although these people have low fighting quality, what comes out of their guns is also a serious 5.56mm bullet!

The advance of the two groups slowed down, the defenders' western defensive line completely collapsed, and the eight rebels quickly broke through the outskirts of the village and began to advance towards the core area.

They marched very fast, and in the case of a serious shortage of defenders, almost every clash was fought with more and fewer fights.

Even if the defenders relied on civilian houses as shelters, the thin brick and wood walls that are common in Indonesia were completely unable to stop bullets.

Anyone who came out of the window or from behind the door was killed by the rebels in a direct round of fire, through the wall.

It's not very specialized, but it's definitely effective enough.

In less than two minutes, they had already broken through the distance of nearly 100 meters, pointing directly at the most central location, the small courtyard where Bashir was.

At this time, in addition to the north flank, the defenders were also facing attacks from three directions at the same time, and most of their forces were deployed on the periphery, even if they wanted to return to defense, it was already too late.

Listening to the report of Shi Dakai of Group 1, Chen Shen couldn't wait to rush over directly and shoot the commander of the defenders with one shot.

But it can't be helped, that's how it is on the battlefield, a small mistake in decision-making can lead to devastating consequences.

In the absence of any projectile weapons, they can only hope that the 1st and 2nd groups will get rid of the interception as soon as possible and complete the support as soon as possible.

What?

XM109?

The bullets fired by this thing belong to the category of high-velocity grenades, and there is no way to make a parabola at this distance, and there is no way to get over the obstacle to complete the overshoot

"1 group to intercept, 2 groups to continue the assault!"

On the radio, Shi Dakai quickly gave an order.

By this time, the rebels had already reached the gate of the small compound where Bashir was.

There were only 3 defenders in the entire courtyard, and they were completely powerless in the face of an attack of a full 8 people.

Chen Shen was anxious.

If the eight men were allowed to enter the building, they didn't even need to do so, as long as they fired at the building and a bullet flew to Bashir's head by chance, the whole operation would be over.

He envisioned many kinds of failures, but never imagined that failures would happen in this way.

It is still two hundred meters from the eastern side of the high ground.

If he can quickly occupy the high ground and establish a commanding height, Chen Shen will also have the opportunity to use a large-caliber sniper rifle to suppress through the wall and buy time for the 1st and 2nd groups.

However, two of the three defenders in the courtyard had already fallen, and they had not even been able to inflict any effective damage on the eight people who had been killed in the group.

Bashir had only 20 seconds left in his time, and it was too late for rescue anyway.

The rebels who were attacking from the east in front of them fled, and although there were only 3 people on Chen Shen's side, they did not intend to confront them head-on at all.

As soon as a shot is fired, they are all hidden; And as soon as the Dongfeng Corps was ready to move on, they came out of their bunkers and fired two shots.

The smoke bomb couldn't block too much of an area, and the feeling of being stared at and bitten by flies made Chen Shen uncomfortable.

This mobile brigade is definitely not a strong enemy, and in horizontal comparison, it may not even be as good as the private soldiers who summoned Jialiang at the beginning.

But they are definitely smart opponents, and the degree of intelligence belongs to the most advanced ones.

Two minutes later, the support group led by Chen Shen finally occupied the high ground and established a fire position.

But at this time, in the small courtyard below, the 8 people of the attacking side had already completed the cleaning.

——

However, there is something strange about their performance.

Because after they came out of the courtyard, they quickly entered the house next door.

This cannot be a "change of position", there is only one answer:

This small courtyard is a fake target.

Let's just say that the commander of the defenders could not be so stupid!

Chen Shen was in great spirits, and immediately ordered:

"No. 3, contact the seaplane to take off!"

"2 groups continue to intercept!"

"The people are still there, clear the rebels inside the village and establish a defensive line!"
