Volume 1: The Growth of the King of Soldiers Chapter 46: Ambush
The combination of mechanized mobility and informatization has been fully embodied in this reconnaissance company. According to the predetermined plan, after this pass, the reconnaissance company will divide its troops.
The second and third platoons took the lead in passing through the mountain pass, using the lightweight of the Bobcat all-terrain vehicle to sneak in, and cooperate with the Beidou navigation system to find the most suitable route for the march. A platoon joined the three infantry chariots and the approaching engineer battalion, and then slowly drove in, opening the road and building a bridge over the water. Ensure the smooth passage of subsequent tank armored vehicles.
"Camouflage and concealment on the spot, and each squad occupies the commanding heights to prepare for air defense. The communication command vehicle set up antennas, contact the engineer battalion, and see where they are now!"
After Tie Kang issued a series of orders, he began to study the 3D image data transmitted from the second and third rows in front. The large screen on the command vehicle appeared as if playing a game, and six small dots appeared. These are the specific locations of two rows of six Bobcat all-terrain vehicles.
As the six dots fanned out, a 3D map began to appear on the screen. Through the scanning of data from the field, the situation in the mountains, along with the height difference of even a small mound, will be accurately marked on the screen.
As a non-combat unit, the cooking squad can only be temporarily mixed into three squads in a platoon, with two people per squad, while abandoning the cooking trailer.
In order to maximize their combat effectiveness, Yang Buyu and Huang Ke were assigned to the familiar third squad to be used as assaulters.
There are still more than three hours before sunrise, and according to the predetermined plan, the 2nd Engineer Company will arrive at the designated position in two hours to join the reconnaissance company.
In fact, it was only less than two hours to wait here in a row, but Tie Kang didn't dare to take it lightly. He watched the map on the screen expand outward, and somehow his mood did not have the slightest joy, but a very bad premonition.
"What could it be? Now that the commanding heights have been occupied, the air defense has been put in place, and the sniper points have been set up. The three infantry chariots were also concealed and camouflaged with a 120-degree fan. This is already the ultimate thing to do, so why is there still a little panic in my heart. ”
Tie Kang couldn't figure it out, even the signal of the communication command vehicle was not interfered with by the Blue Army, it seemed that all this came too smoothly.
"The signal is not good! quickly cut off the signal and retract the antenna!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a little light in the sky suddenly appear, at first it was like a morning star, but I couldn't breathe, the light was getting closer and closer, and the first thing I found was two of the air defense men on the commanding heights.
Two Qianwei-3 man-portable anti-aircraft missiles were immediately launched to intercept them, but when the missiles were lifted into the air, they found that it was too late.
In mid-air, an anti-radiation missile dragged a blue tail flame directly through the branches between the trees and landed next to the communication command vehicle in the middle.
Burst......
A puff of smoke rose from the missile, along with the communications command vehicle. The sudden scene stunned everyone around who was on guard.
Tie Kang's hunch was indeed very accurate, and he always felt that this journey had been too smooth. Since the director can choose Chinese New Year's Eve to start the exercise, there will definitely be other unexpected back-ups.
Tie Kang thought of many possibilities, there were direct surprise attacks by armed helicopters, and forced attacks by ground armed forces, and even the special forces had a plan in his belly, but he just didn't expect that this time the director department would be so generous, and even the anti-radiation missiles carried by high-altitude drones were used.
Although the exercise is war, there is a limit to the number of times the red and blue sides can use satellites and overly high-end weapons for the sake of fairness.
I didn't expect that such a precious opportunity for the Blues would be used to behead him, a company-level officer.
Click......
The door of the communication command vehicle opened, and Tie Kang, who was also emitting colored smoke on his helmet, walked down with several other people dejected.
"Company commander, this ......"
Seeing this, Zhou Bo hurriedly surrounded the command car.
"According to the rules of the exercise, I have now been judged dead in action. So I can't give you any advice right now, and the rest is up to you. ”
When everyone heard that this was the case, the morale of the battle was already extremely low before the battle. Of course, the exercise has only been going on for a few hours so far, and the company commander of the reconnaissance company directly received the lunch box before the gun was fired, and the morale was not low.
According to the general practice on the battlefield, the superior commander is killed in battle, and the subordinate officer is acting in command. Now the company commander is dead, and the deputy company commander and instructor are not there, so it is now Zhou Bo, the platoon commander, who is acting in command.
"Squad leader, what should we do now?"
Now it's not just Dai Gang who is eager to know the next plan, everyone is waiting for Zhou Bo to give an order.
"Contact the second and third platoons in front and inform the deputy company commander and instructor of the situation here. Now it is better to withdraw the troops, and there are only two squads left in front to reconnoiter and open the way. ”
Now the communication command vehicle has been destroyed and cannot receive data from the front. Therefore, there is no point in drawing a holographic map, and it is better to take back the troops.
According to the current situation, Zhou Bo's order can be said to be very correct, but all of a sudden, all satellite communications were subjected to strong electromagnetic interference, and it was impossible to contact the two platoons in front at all.
"Platoon commander, I can't get in touch!"
As a result of the attack of the anti-radiation missile, the communication command vehicle was destroyed, and the accompanying electronic countermeasures were also lost. Now the entire reconnaissance company is truly blind and deaf.
Now Zhou Bo's only choice is to send signal soldiers to catch up with the second and third platoons, so that they can get closer to him as soon as possible.
At the same time, just as Zhou Bo was about to send a signal soldier to make contact, in the mountains and forests 40 kilometers away, dense gunfire overlapped and resounded in the sky.
Rewind the clock to 5 minutes ago, that is, at the moment when the communication command vehicle was hit by an anti-radiation missile.
Three Bobcat all-terrain vehicles under the leadership of Li Quan are advancing at an average speed of 15 kilometers per hour. The three squads he led are fans in this fan-shaped queue, the trees in this area are much sparser than other places, and the terrain slope is not very large, according to the positioning of Beidou navigation, if you push forward another 10 kilometers in this direction, you can completely get out of this mountain range. That is, as long as the rear engineer battalion can arrive on time, then as long as you follow the route that has just been mapped, you will soon be able to open up a smooth way through heavy armored tanks.
Behind the mountains lies the Black Soil Plain, and only here is their mission completed.
"Instructor, look at where we are now. Sandwiched between two high slopes, such terrain is usually a good place for ambushes. But you see that we have passed it now, don't you think it's unreasonable?"
Li Quan's eight or nine years of soldiers were not in vain. At this time, he was very targeted to raise his doubts to Lu Guozhong.
From the beginning to the present, the investigation has been going smoothly. So Lu Guozhong also ignored this, and now through Li Quan's reminder, he couldn't help but have a cold war in his heart.
"yes, it's too unreasonable. In the whole marching route, the opening of this section of the road can be said to be the most important. The Blues could not have allowed us to complete the data collection so smoothly. ”
Thinking of this, Lu Guozhong immediately used the walkie-talkie to inform Yu Ming, the deputy company commander who was on the flank.
The troops stopped advancing, and the two flanks alternated alerts and slowly moved closer to the center. ”
Lu Guozhong made this decision decisively, although there was only 10 kilometers left in front of him, he still did not dare to launch a large formation to advance.
"Guozhong, will you be too careful. If there is an ambush, I think the col I just passed is the most likely. Now that we have been able to pass without a hitch, it means that our route has not yet been revealed, or that the Blues have not reacted.
Why don't we search for formation and accelerate through the last 10 kilometers, which might not take 25 minutes at the speed of this Bobcat. When the time comes, set up a cordon, and send two more shifts back to fill in the data. ”
Deputy Company Commander Yu Ming also made some sense, the soldiers are fast, and the reconnaissance company will move at full speed from the time the order is received, even if the route is detected by the opponent's drone, it will take a little time.
Just when Lu Guozhong and Yu Ming were still hesitating, Lin Zhan in the team suddenly spoke:
"If I were a Blue, I wouldn't have done anything if I found out that there was a mountain col behind me that could set up an ambush. Instead, we will wait for everyone to pass and then block in front, and then we will definitely retreat the way we came, and perhaps use the terrain of that col as cover or ambush. At that point, when our army enters the col again, it will be a good time to really get started. ”
Lin Zhan's words made the two commanders present feel cold behind their backs, if they really think like Lin Zhan, then the blue army is not to slow down our army, but to annihilate it all.
"On the spot, the second squad of the third platoon gave up the terrain vehicle to lurk forward for reconnaissance, and the third squad made a roundabout way to the high ground on the left side of the mountain col behind to investigate......"
Bang......
Before the order was issued, the helmet of the deputy company commander Yu Ming emitted colorful smoke. No surprise, another commander had another boxed lunch.
"Sniper!
Following Lu Guozhong's order, everyone lay down nearby or hid behind a tree.
Bang......
Another gunshot rang out, and the second platoon commander was killed directly in the head.
"At three o'clock, the machine gunners! machine gunners covered, and the rest of the men abandoned their vehicles and retreated alternately in the direction of nine o'clock in three or three!"
In the face of danger, under the command of Li Quan, the other party's snipers only had time to fire two shots. But just those two shots almost took out the chain of command.
"Company commander, the other party is too vigilant. Snipers on the periphery can only choose to shoot and kill the commander in order to maximize the results. It's just a pity that they couldn't go any further. ”
"Okay, they're all scouts, and that family doesn't have any housekeeping skills. Now they have chosen to abandon the vehicle in order not to make themselves a bigger target.
So now it is just right that we should have given up the vehicle to climb over that cliff, and we were able to set up an ambush here in advance. Now, someone has brought us a vehicle, and the cat-and-mouse game begins. ”
The reconnaissance company of the reconnaissance battalion of the 358th composite brigade was responsible for this blockade, and the reconnaissance company of the second reconnaissance company may have now arrived at the designated position and waited for the arrival of the Red Army engineer battalion.
Fighting an engineer battalion with the firepower of a reconnaissance company has no suspense for the commander of a company with Zhizhu in his hands at this time. So when he was assigned the task, he chose to hunt and kill this group of scouts of the 199th Brigade in this mountain forest. For the commander of a company, this can better reflect his value......
