Chapter 211: Unexpected
Randy pondered and didn't respond, but his eyes were always fixed on the map. He had been receiving conflicting signals since just now.
It is certain that something went wrong with their undercover agent.
"Colonel Randy, what are you thinking about?" Megan asked in a low voice. The journey had been smooth and he could no longer say anything else.
"I wonder where the other side will hit us first," Randy pondered.
"Hit us? Do they have the guts to do that? Aren't they just on the periphery?"
Walter was a little surprised. It was not that he looked down on students, but they were obviously not on the same level. He could just play with them for a while. If they had a head-on confrontation, the battle could be over in less than a few hours.
"Look," Randy said, and the undercover information of his own team appeared on the entire screen.
"Report, 30,000 troops from the 1st column of the Cloud Team remain in the Tuoti area..."
"Report, 60,000 troops from the 3rd Column of the Cloud Team remain at the Prey Ground Station..."
"Report, 50,000 troops from the 4th column of the Cloud Team are heading to Geping..."
"Report, the 2nd Column of the Cloud Team is secretly heading there to claim salt. The number of troops is unknown, but a rough estimate is no less than 20,000..."
"Report..."
"What does this mean?" Megan's eyes widened. "Isn't this news from our undercover agent?"
"Add up the total number of people," Randy said.
"One hundred and sixty thousand..." Megan looked up, still not understanding.
"There are 160,000 people in 5 teams, and the areas are far away from each other. If we attack any one of them, we may be able to crush them with ease. Do you think it's possible?" Randy asked.
"How is it impossible? She is just a student," Walter said with some disdain.
"Colonel Randy, not everyone has your skill. Don't overthink the enemy. Just like fighting Basha Star, start an information war and attack them in one area."
Randy shook his head slowly, "There's something wrong with our undercover agent."
"No way?" Megan almost bit her tongue. This news seemed normal no matter how you looked at it. Just because the number of people was scattered, did it mean there was something wrong with the undercover agent?
"Didn't the scouts have similar information?"
Wol Tie opened the feedback from the scouts again, and it was consistent with the situation in the Tuoti District. They did indeed stay behind.
Randy still shook his head. "The problem now is that we're not sure if they've concentrated their forces. We need to consider the potential risks of advancing our forces."
"No, why are you not sure?"
Waltie was a little anxious. They participated in such an event to show off in front of their superiors. How could they demonstrate their courage and ability by delaying the fight and relying on procrastination and hesitation?
Randy is indeed worthy of respect, but why not believe such obvious news?
"Colonel, we have advanced to the vicinity of Toti, Big and Prot. The enemy has only 30,000 people. We will not suffer any loss," said Waltie.
"It's hard to say. If, as she said before, she's good at concentrating superior forces, it will be a tough battle."
"And we're not sure where their main force is. The enemy and ours are roughly equal in equipment strength, especially since we used up most of our initial equipment when attacking Basha Star. So, we might not have the upper hand in a head-on confrontation."
"You are making this judgment based on the fact that our undercover agent has gone awry. Aren't you being too cautious?"
Megan asked politely, and he also felt that what Walter said made sense.
"We have to fight first to see if we are being too cautious," Randy continued.
Walter didn't know what to say. He was the one who said not to fight, and he was also the one who said to fight.
He simply gave up and said, "Then tell me, how do we fight?"
Randy closed his eyes. Where would the opponent counterattack?
Just now, the First Column sent out two reinforced brigades, totaling 20,000 people, to contain and divide their combat power, forcing them to disperse their forces.
If it were him, he would definitely choose Metzburg, where the weakest 2nd Column was located.
Could it be the 2nd column? Randy was silent for a long time.
But no matter what, it will definitely not be wrong to strengthen the defense of the 2nd Column.
"Pass the order down. The 2nd Column will defend. The 1st Column will dispatch the 3rd and 4th Brigades, totaling 20,000 men, to stay in Biggar and support the 2nd Column's rear at any time."
With this arrangement, the 1st Column had 60,000 concentrated troops left, and the 2nd Column had 70,000. Harris patted Yuri on the shoulder and said, "I'll go follow that bastard."
Yuri's eyes darkened slightly, "Take care, I don't want to save him."
"I don't need you!"
Cloud Team Command.
Yun Mo stood in the center, the buttons on her fingertips constantly turning, and said in a decisive tone, "We can't attack the second column."
"Commander, didn't you say there's a huge gap between us and the enemy? Column 2 is the only unit with a chance of victory."
Tang Yu joked, looking quite relaxed. Even if the strategy didn't work, they were still there.
"Go and attack their 1st column!"
Tang Yu's expression was stern. "Are you crazy? The 1st Column has over 100,000 men! And they've already pushed towards Bigger."
"I know," Yun Mo lowered her head. "It takes about an hour to fly from 1st Bigger to Basha, and three hours on the ground if everything goes smoothly."
"That is to say, we have to capture Bigger within three hours, otherwise the main force's support will arrive."
"So what made you decide to attack the 1st Column?" Lin Fancheng wanted to shake her head.
"Our forces are also dispersed, Commander. According to your request, we are occupying those marginal areas. Now we can only concentrate less than 70,000 people. How can we defeat the enemy with 100,000 troops? And we have to take them down in three hours? Don't you think this is a dream?"
Yun Mo shook her head. "Listen to me, we have to catch them by surprise! He thinks we won't attack our strongest parts, so we're going to show him!"
"Okay, you are the commander, you have the final say," Lin Fancheng breathed a sigh of relief and decided to carry out the order.
Yunmo answered Yiliang's call, "Where are you?"
"Already near Fort Madsburg," Yiliang responded.
"Keep a close eye on the enemy's 2nd column. Report any movement, no matter what it is, immediately," Yun Mo said.
"Got it!" Yi Liang calmly put down his wrist and continued to pass on the order.
…
As night fell, the first flare exploded in the sky, and both sides launched a fierce offensive, with bullets flying everywhere.
“Boom…Boom…”
First, the two sides showed off their rocket and air defense capabilities.
The radar on the car was spinning rapidly, and the signals were blaring.
Magnetic interference, air supremacy, long-range attacks... This series of conventional routines, when occurring between two teams of equal strength, is no longer very interesting.
Attack, intercept, explosion, destruction... but the actual casualties are very few. The final decisive battle still depends on the assault of ground forces.
"What did you say?" Megan stood up suddenly. "The 1st column attacking Bigger? Are they crazy?"
Randy's eyes darkened. "Our intelligence is no longer reliable. We've lost our advantage in knowing both ourselves and the enemy."
"Let's call back the original 1st column," Randy suggested.
"Okay!" Megan nodded.
