It is common to see a grenade explosion triggering a series of explosions in the area.
This is to detonate the anti-tank mines buried by the enemy.
A large amount of shrapnel and flames filled the air, enveloping everything around in the shock wave and flames of the explosion.
On the mecha, Li Xin watched the explosion through the mecha's remote viewing equipment.
This type of anti-tank mine is still effective in dealing with armored vehicles and tanks.
When dealing with mechas, it is much less effective.
Landmines with a small yield cannot cause much damage to mechas, but if the charge is larger, they can be easily detected by mechas.
The reason why the mecha has not started the attack is that it is waiting for the infantry and armored forces on the ground to join forces.
Although the mecha is powerful, it can easily be in danger if it faces siege.
Right now, the entire Blueprint Dispatching Force is at Heng'an Defense, and there are only 23 mechas left, so they have to be used sparingly.
The vanguard of the attack was composed of an armored mixed battalion of Heng'an Defense, followed by two infantry battalions.
Their combat goal is to break through the outer defense line of the Beshimo Steel Plant. The mecha troops will provide them with fire support and carry out targeted attacks on some enemy fire points.
At the front line, a tank company has made preparations for war. The tanks are from Hengan Defense, and they are also the tanks that Li Xin once drove.
Model: Deer Hunter Tank
This tank is a medium tank, equipped with a 120MM electromagnetic gun as its main weapon and a 14.5mm caliber electromagnetic machine gun as its secondary weapon.
If a mecha like the Dagger Sergeant has a main gun of this level, it can only withstand a few shots without a void shield.
The same is true if it is an enemy tank. Generally speaking, the artillery fire of this type of tank cannot even be withstood by their own armor.
If you hit it with one shot, you'll be canned.
A tank platoon of Hengan Defense consists of three ordinary Deer Hunter tanks and a command-type Deer Hunter.
Three tank platoons, plus a separate command Deer Hunter, formed a tank company, with a total of 13 tanks.
An armored mixed battalion consists of a tank company and two armored infantry companies.
The vehicle used by the armored company is the short-tailed rat infantry fighting vehicle.
The main weapon of this infantry fighting vehicle is a 20mm electromagnetic machine gun. The armor can withstand attacks from general electromagnetic rifles and laser rifles, and it also has a good defensive effect against rapid-fire weapons with a caliber of less than 20mm.
Each infantry fighting vehicle can also carry eight infantrymen, who can get off the vehicle and fight after arriving at the battlefield.
Every three Short-tailed Rat form an armored platoon, and three armored platoons form an armored company, with an additional command-type Short-tailed Rat.
In total, an armored mixed battalion of Heng'an Defense has thirteen Deer Hunter tanks and twenty Short-tailed Rat infantry fighting vehicles.
It also has 160 elite armored infantry.
Such an organization is also quite good in Heng'an Defense. Judging from this battle, the combat organization of the other two infantry battalions is much worse.
The infantry battalion is organized as follows:
Every ten people form an infantry squad, including one squad leader and one deputy squad leader.
In terms of weapons, each infantry squad has five to seven riflemen, usually equipped with X49 rifles, and there may be one or two V12 electromagnetic rifles.
The machine gun team consists of one to two people, using a 12.5mm electromagnetic machine gun, model N6 general-purpose electromagnetic machine gun.
The anti-tank/armor team consists of one to two people, using L3 electromagnetic armor-piercing cannons with a caliber of 88mm, or anti-tank missiles.
One medic
Three squads form a platoon, with one platoon leader who commands the entire platoon in combat, and one deputy platoon leader who is responsible for assisting the platoon leader in command.
A platoon consists of 32 people.
Three platoons form an infantry company, with a company commander responsible for commanding the entire company's combat and a deputy company commander who assists the company commander and takes into account tactical execution and training.
The company headquarters also has two communications staff and two clerical staff, plus a cooking squad.
There are 112 people in one company.
An infantry battalion consists of three companies.
There is a battalion commander in the battalion headquarters, who is responsible for the command and coordination of the entire battalion.
There is one deputy battalion commander who assists the battalion commander and is responsible for specific tactical deployment and training.
The battalion has one chief of staff, who is responsible for combat planning, intelligence analysis, and communications.
The battalion has a staff department of three to five people, including combat staff, logistics staff, and communications staff.
Teams directly under the battalion headquarters: guard squad, communications squad, and reconnaissance squad.
In total, an infantry battalion has a total of about 375 people.
Of course, this is an infantry battalion under ideal conditions.
In most cases, the structure of an infantry battalion is not complete, and the number of troops may be less or more.
Just like now, after a long period of fighting, all the soldiers in these infantry battalions added together only have about 300 people each.
The Deer Hunter tanks in front formed a small front-line formation. Their engines had been started, and rumbling sounds were heard all around.
Li Xin was in the mecha, using the thrust lever to control the mecha to follow Jiang Lou and came to the rear of the tank convoy.
The attack sequence this time is: Tank Company - Mecha - Armored Infantry Company - Infantry Battalion
The command from the headquarters came through the tank company commander's earphone: "Move out!"
"Set off!"
“Boom boom boom!”
The thirteen Deer Hunter tanks' road wheels began to rotate, their tracks gripped the ground, and they began to slowly accelerate.
These Deerslayer tanks can maintain a speed of 70 kilometers per hour in the terrain of the Behemoth Steel Plant, which is a very fast movement speed on the battlefield.
A large amount of smoke and dust was raised by the tank tracks. These tanks were like long dragons, heading straight for the Behemoth Steel Plant.
Li Xin looked down at the Short-tailed Rat armored personnel carrier beside him. These wheeled vehicles had also started their engines and followed the tanks.
"We're going too!"
Jiang Lou's order came to Li Xin's ears.
The three of them followed the side of the armored personnel carrier and also began to move towards the Behemoth Steel Plant.
Inside the cockpit, Li Xin placed his hands on the armrests, a faint psychic light appeared in his eyes, and he had now entered the state of psychic driving.
The mecha's movement speed when not in combat can reach 80 kilometers per hour, which is no slower than tanks and wheeled armored vehicles.
Only after entering combat state will the speed be reduced slightly because more energy needs to be allocated to other equipment of the body, including to make the body more stable in combat.
The Dagger Servant started running, and the heavy footsteps echoed on the ground. The mecha did not walk, but ran like a human.
It was even like jumping forward, with each step covering a distance of twenty to thirty meters.
Their void shields have been kept activated, ready to defend against attacks from all directions at any time.
