The order was quickly issued to the two commandos: the Mountain Warriors and the Freedom Defenders.
After receiving the order, Ahmed and the new captain of the Freedom Defenders, Wahid, set off without any hesitation with two commandos that had already been prepared.
During this period, they have gradually integrated into the garrison of Yadun.
In the garrison, other troops are trained as mountain troops or motorized infantry troops.
There are only these two commandos, and Li Xin trained them according to mountain reconnaissance and special operations.
Although their individual combat effectiveness is not as good as the genetic warriors that Li Xin once led, they are still much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
Their weapons and equipment are the most luxurious among ordinary soldiers.
Before leaving, Ahmed and Wahid met again and had a brief conversation.
Ahmed said: "Our mission this time is to scout the location of the enemy's mechanical forces. The supervisor has designated an area for us."
"I'll start my scouting from the east, how about you scout from the north?"
Wahid looked at the map, nodded, and said, "No problem."
Wahid is the current commander of the Freedom Defenders, and the original leader of the Freedom Defenders, Rahim, has been sent to a hydroponic farm to work as a farmer by Li Xin according to his wishes.
The old guy Rahim is doing very well in the hydroponic farm and is very adaptable to it.
This old fellow who had fought in wars and served as a rebel for half his life actually had a pretty good ending.
The two commandos set out at night. Instead of taking the main road, they headed straight through the mountains.
Along the way, they carefully avoided various enemy reconnaissance.
On the other side, after the commando team set off, Li Xin looked at the time and said to Weng Hua:
"The enemy wants to defend everywhere, but they only have so many people. They still want to stop us. It's really a pipe dream!"
For the defenders, when they have no advantage in numbers, terrain, or weapons and equipment, if they want to block all the loopholes, they will undoubtedly defend everywhere and leak everywhere!
When Li Xin dealt with the rebels in Yadun in the past, the first thing he did was blockade and defense.
That’s because Li Xin’s blueprint garrison has stronger combat effectiveness, better weapons and equipment, and more complete defense facilities.
A small group of soldiers can directly block a large number of rebels, and patrol convoys can provide timely support.
This kind of defense is an advantage.
And now they also want to defend Nodong Castle, and use defensive fortifications to stop Li Xin's army while they are at ease.
The idea is good, because it is impossible to deploy a large army to fight on these four lines of defense.
When a small group of soldiers fight, the advantage is huge when there are defenders in defensive positions.
But Li Xin never follows any rules when fighting. No matter how many routes you defend, I will just attack them all.
Defending everywhere means that the troops will be dispersed. The defenders already have few troops, and this dispersion will make it even more difficult.
Although it was a good idea for the enemy to voluntarily leave the settlements and go to the mountains to establish a defense line to block Li Xin's attack.
This disrupted Li Xin's original battle plan, but it was not a big problem.
There are several sets of battle plans. The original plan to directly attack the settlements of these three forces cannot be used, but there are other battle plans that can be used instead.
Li Xin said to Weng Hua, "Arrange the 7th and 8th Garrison Brigades as feint forces to attack the Yanaka Valley, the Gapgu Valley, and the Wabidal Valley respectively!"
"Don't rush to achieve results, let them attack first!"
"Yes! Supervisor!" Weng Hua quickly recorded the order and arranged for the staff officer to start passing the order out.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Xin continued to give orders: "Arrange Guan Yong again and have the Army Aviation Group's air force launch a round of attacks in these three directions first!"
"Yes! Boss, I'll arrange it right away!"
Although these three directions are feints, we still need to make some effort to make them look good.
The air strike is here, so this can't be a feint. It will at least make the local defenders nervous. It would be even better if we can call for support from the Second Mechanized Brigade of Nordenburg.
Soon, the new recruits of the 7th and 8th Garrison Brigades launched an attack on the enemy's three defensive positions.
As a feint, they basically would not send infantry to risk their lives to charge, but instead rely on artillery fire to launch the attack first.
Although there are no heavy artillery in the motorized infantry brigade, there are mortars of various calibers, smaller caliber rocket launchers, and howitzers.
In any case, the motorized infantry brigade also has a howitzer battalion, plus various small-caliber artillery, so it looks like the real thing after the artillery bombardment.
As the attacking side, especially in a battle where they were attacking from high ground, these two motorized infantry brigades had a huge advantage.
The artillery's range is longer than before, and after firing two rounds, they quickly run away, giving the enemy no chance to retaliate.
At the same time, armed helicopters and fixed-wing ground attack aircraft in the air also began to take off and launched long-range fire strikes on the enemy's three defensive positions.
The rocket pods hanging on both sides of the armed helicopter began to aim at the enemy positions from a distance.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!"
One after another, rockets emitting white smoke shot out from the magazine. An armed helicopter can carry four twelve-round rocket magazines.
A continuous shooting can directly launch 48 rockets. The intensity of the firepower attack can directly cover a large area of enemy positions.
As for the fixed-wing ground attack aircraft, they are even more powerful, with a bomb load of up to 16 tons. Because the enemy has no air power, there is no question of air superiority.
These ground attack aircraft were all directly loaded with bombs and quickly passed through the enemy's defensive positions. In the short moment of passing, the ammunition bays below opened.
Each bomb weighed more than ten kilograms and fell down with a loud noise just like a baby was born.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The defenders in the Gapugu Valley heard the whistling sound of aerial bombs cutting through the air, and the veterans quickly fled to the anti-artillery caves.
"Enemy attack!"
"The bombing is coming!!"
There were almost no important facilities exposed on the defense line, so the bombing was just to clear the area for them and would not cause much damage.
But the scene was huge, with rockets and bombs landing.
“Boom!!!”
The sound of explosions echoed across the three lines of defense, and the ground of each small position turned directly into a sea of fire.
Mushrooms of flames appeared from the battlefield, and billowing white and black smoke rose slowly.
