Chapter 211: Besiege and attack the reinforcements, all main forces are deployed
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Above the valley in Area 11, artillery shells whistled sharply and hit the ground like hail.
The attack was too sudden.
The soldiers of the 188th Division on the ground had no time to react, and there was no sign of any attack. In an instant, the entire temporary position was destroyed.
The bombardment was resounding and the smoke was raging.
The smell of gunpowder and the dust on the ground swept up waves of heat, and the soldiers around didn't understand what was going on.
The sensors on their bodies were triggered, puffs of white smoke came out, and people began to be eliminated in groups.
The accuracy of rocket launchers and howitzers of this era is very poor, but no matter how poor, they cannot withstand continuous and comprehensive bombardment.
Nearly a thousand soldiers in Area 4 and Area 11 were completely destroyed by this round of bombing.
Twenty minutes later.
Chen Mo ordered to stop the bombing, and the troops outside the Huanglongwanggou camp immediately began to retreat and move towards the camp.
The terrain where they are located has a natural advantage.
If the troops in the combat zone wanted to enter the Huanglongwanggou camp, they had to cross a rugged mountain road, and the army could only march along this one road.
That is to say, if the main force of the 188th Division wants to come in, Chen Mo only needs to park two tanks halfway to block the road.
Therefore, the joint camp is not afraid of the enemy's armored cluster coming over.
As long as they do a good job of air defense and pay attention to dispersing their camps, the enemy will not be able to do anything to them for a while.
But the problem is that Chen Mo felt comfortable playing.
The battalion commander of District 11 had red eyes and was almost exploding with anger.
Damn, I've never fought such a weird battle.
Dozens of rockets fell from overhead without any warning. Hundreds of them heard the order to start the exercise, but before they could take action, their combat effectiveness was reduced by more than half.
This is also a joke.
With white smoke coming out of his head, the battalion commander ran quickly to the Dongfeng off-road command vehicle. He felt dizzy while holding the car phone.
"Captain, we are under attack, requesting support!!"
"Captain, requesting support!"
"Hey, are you listening? Is your signal bad? Commander, the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Battalion is under attack, our coordinates have been exposed, requesting support!!"
The voice of the front-line commander, like a nightmare, lingered in the entire base conference room.
It’s not that no one answered the call.
But at this moment, Wang Songhe, who was in charge of commanding the 188th Division, was standing in the conference room of the base.
Fu Hongyi, the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Military Region, and a group of leaders from the Jincheng Military Region were all watching.
The sound of the front-line report was played out, and the entire conference room was silent, with no one saying a word.
The war just started.
The troops have not been mobilized, the main force has not been unified, the combat plan has not been rolled out, and even the directorate's reconnaissance aircraft has not entered the battlefield.
Two bases of the 188th Division were bombarded by artillery fire.
What the hell, is it possible that the joint battalion’s gun barrels have eyeballs?
Wang Songhe's face was gloomy. He did not respond to the requests for help from Area 4 and Area 11. It was not that he did not want to respond, but the bombing was too hasty.
He had no idea how the other side found out the gathering point of his soldiers.
The reconnaissance and sniper teams of the 188th Division had entered the battle zone since around 12 o'clock last night. It can be said that any large-scale troop maneuvers within dozens of kilometers around could not escape the sight of the reconnaissance and sniper teams.
How were the coordinates exposed?
Wang Songhe took a deep breath. He wanted to calm down, but he couldn't.
Without waiting for his response.
Another backup plan arranged by Chen Mo came into play.
In the No. 2 combat zone, hundreds of 141 and 142 troop carriers were parked scattered around, and nearby cranes and soldiers from the maintenance company were gathering to assemble tanks.
The assembly of nearly a hundred main battle tanks was a huge scene. The grasslands within a radius of several kilometers were full of busy soldiers.
No one expected it.
Such a large-scale, heavily armored cluster could actually be attacked by surprise.
No, it wasn't a sneak attack, but an open and aboveboard attack.
Less than half an hour after the battle started, the reconnaissance company's nine Type 63 armored personnel carriers, at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, charged towards a heavily armored group that was countless times larger than their own.
Nine troop carriers were lined up in a row.
Cheng Dong personally operated the Type 59 machine gun of the first squad of the first platoon. He had a helmet on his head and his face was flushed red.
"beat!"
No extra nonsense.
Cheng Dong gave an order, and his order was passed down to the entire company through the communicator. In an instant, nine machine guns spit out flames wildly at the crowd in the distance.
One by one, the veteran reconnaissance soldiers opened the side covers of their infantry fighting vehicles, carried rocket launchers and began to bomb in turns.
Boom boom boom.
Da da da.
The encounter is a decisive battle.
The two sides were now about three or four hundred meters apart, and machine gun bullets and individual artillery shells began to pour down.
What we are taking away is time.
Because once the heavy tanks of the 188th Division are assembled, no matter how good Chen Mo's tactics are, he will be helpless. A cluster of nearly a hundred tanks is not a firepower that long-range rocket launchers can deal with.
"What the hell?"
Wang Kailiang, commander of the 1st Armored Regiment of the 188th Division, was the one responsible for leading this heavy equipment installation. He was originally wandering around to supervise the assembly progress.
Suddenly, Captain Wang was stunned when he heard the sound of artillery and gunfire in the distance.
The main reason is that the joint camp is moving too fast.
The garrisons in Areas 11 and 4 were attacked, and before the news reached us, we were also attacked.
Although speed is of the essence in war, this speed is too fast.
The soldiers who were assembling nearby were also a little confused by the sudden gunfire.
Wang Kailiang immediately climbed onto the top of a truck and looked through binoculars towards the place where gunshots were heard in the distance.
When he found out that the enemy only had nine armored vehicles, he was so angry that his liver ached.
As the commander of an armored regiment, when has he ever been thrown off balance by these battlefield taxis?
But when I looked back, my heart sank.
A tank that is not assembled and does not move is just a target, scrap metal, and garbage!!
Due to the strict control of manpower and firepower in this exercise, it is impossible for the entire regiment to bring all the main forces as usual. They simply do not have that many combat personnel at the moment.
Most of them are logistics people.
How to fight this battle?
The sudden change made Wang Kailiang's thoughts stop and his brain began to think at a rapid speed.
Although our lineup is large enough, there are very few soldiers with combat effectiveness. After all, the war has just begun, and the means of hiding soldiers have not been fully utilized.
Under the current circumstances, the only option is to arrange for the armored troops on the scene to cover the infantry, quickly approach the enemy's tanks, and disrupt the enemy's offensive speed.
Otherwise, once the enemy breaks into the assembly camp, dozens of people can get off the vehicles and engage in "street fighting" with them by relying on the mutual blocking of the tanks.
The assembly progress was delayed, and the entire division's heavy equipment was scrapped.
Analyze the situation in 0.1 second.
Commander Wang made a quick decision. He jumped off the front of the truck and pointed to the staff officer beside him, saying, "Order, the trucks on the periphery will start first to stop the enemy and attack them at an accelerated speed."
"Hold on, don't mess around."
"Let the trucks cover the infantry in the rear and try to surround them."
"yes!"
The staff officer who received the order was immediately startled, because their team was mostly composed of troop carriers and transport vehicles, and there were not many armored vehicles.
Even if there were any, they would be surrounded in the assembly position and would not be able to move out in a short time.
Using a truck to attack an armored vehicle is a very dangerous method.
But there was no time to think about it.
The staff officer got into the command vehicle and held the communicator: "Comrades, the time has come to sacrifice. The outer trucks will maneuver to intercept the enemy, block the trajectory for the infantry, gain distance for the fighters, and surround and kill the enemy."
The moment the order was given.
There was a dead silence in the communication channel.
How many trucks and people would be needed to surround an infantry fighting vehicle?
Using the damage done to the front vehicle to buy distance to the rear vehicle was a brutal tactical arrangement, which had the same meaning as soldiers lining up to blow up bunkers in the past.
However, this also completely aroused the blood of the soldiers on the scene.
Pride, fear, all emotions disappeared at this moment.
Only the blood is hot.
Only sacrifice is always there.
For a moment, countless armored soldiers who were supposed to be driving tanks jumped into the driving seats of trucks again.
"Follow me closely and I'll buy you some distance!"
"receive!!"
Teams of infantrymen boarded the 141 covered troop carriers, carrying rifles and individual rocket launchers, and began to move out.
"Cars behind me, I will do a series of reverse S maneuvers, first right then left, and make sure you follow."
"Got it!! Right first, then left."
Similar conversations continued to be heard.
In an instant, the trucks that were originally parked on the periphery moved, and dozens of them rushed towards the nine armored vehicles of the reconnaissance company from different directions.
The scene was somewhat discordant and tragic.
Originally, the reconnaissance company was only three or four hundred meters away from the nearest tank assembly area.
Suddenly, dozens of trucks on the left and right wings, and in the front, roared, raising clouds of dust, and rushed towards the unknown enemy with iron-blooded momentum.
In the rear, the 188th Division's large logistics corps continued to speed up the assembly of tanks.
This scene was captured clearly by the 206 UAV flying high in the sky.
The base also dispatched a reconnaissance aircraft to capture it in time.
Within the base.
A group of leaders, looking at a few armored personnel carriers, dared to besiege the enemy's heavy armored regiment spread out over a radius of several kilometers.
Everyone frowned and sighed inwardly.
"Whose idea was this?"
Fu Hongyi, commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Military Region, turned his head and looked at Luo Yaowu.
"Chief, this is all arranged by Chen Mo."
"Chen Mo." Fu Hongyi hesitated for a moment: "Is he the kid who strongly advocated for building a school?"
"That's him."
Luo Yaowu smiled awkwardly. His superiors required a system confrontation, and he didn't know how to fight, so he delegated the command to a lieutenant.
This kind of thing sounds somewhat shameful.
Fortunately, Commander Fu did not say anything. The base's reconnaissance plane had just flown to Area 2 and had no idea what had happened before.
He planned to keep watching.
Let’s see how confident this young man is. He actually dares to send several armored vehicles to raid the heavy armored regiment.
However, Wang Songhe, who was in charge of commanding the 188th Division, became restless as he knew his own deployment best.
Although this exercise is not formal, at most it can be regarded as accompanying the prince in studying and verifying the playing methods of different systems.
But we can't just sit there and wait for death, right?
What's more, he had already vaguely realized that the kid named Chen Mo didn't seem so simple, as he could attack his garrison one after another right after the war started.
Can this kind of reconnaissance capability be called simple?
It's different from the base conference room.
In the auditorium of the Huanglongwanggou camp, Chen Mo watched dozens of trucks rush towards the armored vehicles.
It can be clearly seen on the screen.
The reconnaissance company must have issued an order to disperse. The nine troop carriers continued to retreat and disperse, while attacking the trucks that were surrounding them.
But no matter how fast the armored vehicle is, it can never be faster than a truck.
Under the machine gun fire and individual rocket launcher bombardment, white smoke continued to emerge from the truck, but the transport vehicle carrying the infantry at the back remained unharmed.
Keep getting closer.
Once the distance was shortened and the individual rocket launchers were unleashed, the nine infantry fighting vehicles could not withstand the encirclement of the infantry.
"Um, Lieutenant Chen, should we send someone up there to help?"
Inside the auditorium.
The cadres of the joint camp who were watching the training were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads. Hu Xueyan, the company commander of the rocket artillery company, was quite disdainful of this training.
But after killing half of his own battalion, Captain Hu has gradually come to accept the information-based combat method.
At this moment, Captain Hu, who came from the 188th Division, was the first to make a suggestion, requesting additional firepower to attack his own armored regiment.
"Don't worry, we won't suffer any loss."
Chen Mo waved his hand confidently and said nothing more.
Instead, he continued to stare at the screen, completely ignoring the cadres behind him who were scratching their heads anxiously.
Chen Mo knew better than anyone how effective the reconnaissance company was and how cunning his company commander was.
He knew what was going on.
The 188th Division Armored Regiment's response speed was indeed very fast, which enabled it to block the reconnaissance company's attack in time.
But Cheng Dong is not a rookie. How could he be stumped by dozens of trucks?
As expected.
Just as the group of trucks was closing the distance, and the convoys on both wings were about to converge, almost forming a siege.
Cheng Dong, who was originally operating the machine gun, suddenly got into the armored vehicle. Not long after, he grabbed a few smoke bombs in his hands and got out again from the machine gun hole.
Throw smoke bombs in the direction of the truck.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Cheng Dong's action was a signal to the entire company. With just one throw, all the soldiers holding machine guns and individual rocket launchers switched to smoke bombs.
Keep throwing it in all directions.
Bang! Bang!
Caught off guard, several trucks collided with each other, blocking the view and becoming the biggest obstacle for the convoy.
Watching the enemy's counterattack being broken by dozens of smoke bombs.
Cheng Dong just waved his hand.
The rear doors of nine armored vehicles were pushed open in an instant, and dozens of scouts, holding Type 85 submachine guns, poured out like a flood.
Charge towards the thick fog area, towards the cluster where tanks are being assembled.
The Kuchi scouts sat in the car and at most fired their individual rocket launchers or strafed with submachine guns.
But he left the chariot.
Dozens of people attacked freely and in an organized manner, just like a pack of wolves that had broken free from their restraints. Some of them ran towards the assembly line at full speed, while others rushed towards the outermost trucks.
I have practiced capturing enemies with a car at high speed for a long time, and it came in handy at this time.
It was a distance of several hundred meters, and in just a few minutes, more than half of the scouts had broken into the assembly position.
Using the tank body and spare parts as temporary fortresses, the logistics soldiers assembled with the 188th Division started a large-scale "street fighting".
A small number of scouts took advantage of the smoke to pull the enemy soldiers transporting infantry out of the car, drove the car themselves, and pulled the infantry several hundred meters away.
The reconnaissance company used the machine gun of their infantry fighting vehicle to press against the rear hatch and forcibly eliminated them one by one.
In terms of individual combat capabilities, there are really few companies that can compare with the Kuchi Reconnaissance Company.
Watch as the reconnaissance company successfully advances into the assembly group and begins guerrilla warfare.
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he did not arrange more troops to deal with this heavy armored regiment was because he did not intend to destroy the enemy's tank corps in one go.
Because once it is eliminated.
The enemy will divert their attention, decisively change their tactics, abandon an entire regiment of heavy equipment, and adopt other tactics to deal with you.
If that happens, the situation can easily get out of control.
It is just right to send a reconnaissance company. The company-level firepower does not have the strength to destroy an entire armored regiment, but it has the ability to carry out interference, making it impossible for the tanks of the entire heavy armored regiment to continue to assemble.
Would the commander of the 188th Division be willing to give up such a big piece of fat?
To surround a point and attack reinforcements, he only needs to wait in Area 2, and the enemy will naturally follow his rhythm.
Someone may ask at this time.
Then why not blow up all the mechanized infantry and armor of the 188th Division at the beginning?
There is no need to ask this question.
The question is that surprise bombing can only be used once. If used more than once, it will be ineffective because the mechanized infantry will disperse. They have legs and will run away if they find that the shells are coming again.
If you still gather together after being bombed once, wouldn’t you be a fool?
The other main force has dozens of armored vehicles, anti-aircraft guns, long-range guns, and radars.
Bombing them would give them advance warning, which would not be worth the cost.
The combined firepower of the joint battalion could not be compared with that of the 188th Division at all, so they could only adopt the method of boiling a frog in warm water and nibble away at it bit by bit.
It's almost impossible to swallow it in one bite.
Chen Mo watched the reconnaissance company successfully break into the tank cluster. He immediately mobilized all the drones and began to circle the No. 2 combat zone.
Conduct uninterrupted high-altitude reconnaissance within a radius of 30 kilometers.
He wanted to see.
Will the opposing division commander, Wang, send troops to support the armored regiment?
There are so many tanks, they just haven't been assembled, they haven't been eliminated, which commander would be willing to give them up?
Chen Mo was not sure whether the enemy would follow his ideas. After all, he didn't know Wang Songhe before, and he didn't know the other party's combat strategy.
But not destroying the heavy armored regiment and leaving it hanging here is currently the best combat plan for the joint battalion.
at this time.
Wang Kailiang, commander of the 188th Division Armored Regiment, watched helplessly as his own attack was blocked. Gunfire rang out in the peripheral area, and it was clear that the enemy had infiltrated the area.
Captain Wang felt extremely aggrieved. He had never fought such a cowardly battle before.
So, just a few seconds.
In the Taishan base conference room, Wang Kailiang's voice was heard again on the communication channel.
"Commander, requesting support!"
"A small group of enemies broke into our group, and our regiment lost its ability to attack!"
Through the screen and the communicator, all the leaders in the conference room could hear how aggrieved Captain Wang's voice was.
No one expected it.
It was just an exercise, but the 188th Division, which was responsible for the strategic assault, suffered repeated setbacks within half an hour of the start of the battle, and various units were constantly issuing warnings.
Even Fu Hongyi did not expect that a mere joint battalion could be so powerful.
He shook his head and smiled, then turned his gaze to Wang Songhe: "Commander Wang, arrange your battle plan."
"Let's see what this little brat named Chen Mo is up to."
"yes!"
Wang Songhe, who had never spoken or interfered in the battle, immediately stood up and walked to the communication desk nearby.
But when he was about to give the order.
Commander Wang also paused. Having been immersed in combat for many years, he naturally noticed that something was wrong.
And something is seriously wrong.
The tactical coordination of the joint camp was so smooth, as if it had been prepared from the beginning.
Follow normal development.
The mechanized infantry hidden in the No. 4 combat zone were originally stuck on the only way from Huanglongwanggou to the main combat zone.
There were also reconnaissance and sniper teams nearby that had arrived the night before. As long as the joint battalion was dispatched, a mechanized infantry battalion would hold them back, and the heavy armored regiment would attack from the flank.
An army that can be destroyed without any stalemate or even any backup plan.
However, at the beginning of the war, the ambush in Area 4 was directly blown up.
Just blow it up.
The firepower of a division is enough to bear the loss of a battalion, which is nothing.
But soon after, the mechanized infantry battalion in another area was also blown up, and his hidden heavy equipment was also destroyed along the way, which delayed the progress and made it impossible for the heavy equipment cluster to participate in the battle.
It was obvious that the joint battalion had the ability to destroy the entire heavy armored cluster at this time, but it did not take any action and only sent a small number of people to cause trouble.
The purpose of besieging the enemy and attacking the reinforcements is almost written on his face.
It was as if the enemy deliberately cleared the battlefield, specifically targeting the heavy regiment, rather than the other main force.
So far, he had only seen one infantry company deployed out of the entire combined battalion.
What about the others? Are they hiding troops as well? If so, where are they hiding?
Wang Songhe was a little confused.
Little did he know that he was really worrying too much.
Chen Mo didn't hide his troops at all. All his main forces were hiding in the camp and didn't come out at all.
As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess.
That’s because Wang Songhe knew the organization of the joint battalion, but Chen Mo didn’t know how many people were from the 188th Division.
What was detected during night reconnaissance was just what we saw.
For example, if the Army Aviation Brigade participates in the war, once Chen Mo sends out the main force, it is very likely to be taken away by an air strike.
Only as a last resort did they resort to besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements.
Use the least number of people to surround the heavy armored regiment, expand the reconnaissance range, attack the subsequent reinforcements, and thoroughly find out how many people have arrived in the 188th Division.
Chen Mo was waiting for the 188th Division's follow-up actions.
Wang Songhe was good at hiding troops, so he naturally considered whether the joint camp was also hiding troops.
The two people were separated by dozens of kilometers and were in a stalemate for a long time.
Commander Wang, who was originally nervous, pondered for a moment and then suddenly grinned.
I secretly laughed at myself, thinking that I was really made suspicious by this so-called informatization.
So what if they surrounded the enemy and attacked the reinforcements? So what if they hid their troops?
The 188th Division seemed to have suffered two rounds of bombing, but its main force was still there.
There are still dozens of infantry fighting vehicles, and there are still several companies of artillery vehicles, howitzers, and anti-aircraft guns.
There are still more than a thousand people in the entire division. Even if we fight hard, the enemy will not be able to defeat us with only a battalion.
Think of this.
Wang Songhe immediately ordered to abandon all defense lines, gather troops together, and rescue the armored regiment in Area 2.
In fact, he had no other choice but to give this order.
Information asymmetry.
He had no idea where the main force of the joint camp was, and he just guessed that the other side was still hiding in the Huanglongwanggou camp and had not come out.
But this speculation is not valid in terms of purpose.
You have your main forces idle, why don't you go eat the heavy regiment? Is it fun to hide?
Who are you trying to annoy by sending a few infantrymen to fight in street battles?
Therefore, there is only one way left for Wang Songhe.
That is to gather all the main forces, rescue the heavy regiment, and kill those disgusting infantrymen.
This was also the only exposed firepower of the joint battalion.
Along with the order of the 188th Division.
Sector 4, Sector 11 and all tanks began to assemble, targeting Sector 2.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
In Area No. 2, the reconnaissance company's street fighting lasted for more than two hours. They saw that the logistics soldiers responsible for assembling tanks could not withstand the battle-hardened scouts, and their front line was pushed forward step by step.
They originally occupied a territory of several kilometers, but after a hard battle, they were almost squeezed into a corner and were about to be eliminated.
The main force of the 188th Division finally appeared.
Chen Mo sat in the auditorium, staring with his red eyes that had been awake for two days and one night.
It was discovered through drone reconnaissance that the main force of the enemy was moving out in a mighty force.
Chen Mo immediately rubbed his eyes and stood up.
"Go, notify the reconnaissance company to retreat."
"Captain Hu."
"arrive!"
"Once the reconnaissance company has withdrawn, immediately launch an attack on all unassembled tanks in Sector Two."
"There are no tactical arrangements. Let the reconnaissance company provide marking guidance and cover the bombing."
"clear."
Hu Xueyan, the company commander of the long-range rocket artillery company, swallowed hard, responded with difficulty, then turned around and strode away.
Chen Mo paced around the auditorium with his hands behind his back.
Arrange other staff officers to keep an eye on the enemy's main maneuver routes.
Surrounding the point and attacking the reinforcements, it seems that the enemy has really taken the bait.
A smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips. He forced himself to cheer up and began to think about the subsequent preparations.
He really didn't know how much firepower the 188th Division had, but as long as the armored regiment was blown up, the enemy's main force would gather again.
As long as they lose their heavy armor, the enemy will have to expose all their firepower no matter how patient they are, right?
At that time, it will be the decisive battle.
At this point in the battle, Chen Mo was monitoring how the 188th Division hid its troops, maneuvered, and gathered its main forces.
The enemy is no different from a naked butt.
If they weren't afraid of Wang Songhe, they might have hidden the firepower of the air raid.
In fact, the opponent is doing something unnecessary and separating the core organizational equipment from the main force.
Chen Mo could swallow them one bite at a time.
Why are there so many troubles now?
We also need to find ways to get the enemy to gather all its troops to come to the rescue.
Save it!
As long as we come to rescue you, no one will be able to go back.
