537.Chapter 537 - Scouting the Defense Line

On the eastern side of this small village is the station of the Presidential Guard, which is actually a few dirt hills. Please search Pinshu.com to see the most complete and fastest update, and the terrain here is not high, and it is not a strategic place, so neither the national liberation organization nor the original government army sent troops to seize this place.

But now there is a unit stationed here, and this force is none other than the garrison of the capital of President McGlen. The number of this unit is not large, but its combat effectiveness is the strongest in the entire Gan government army. It is said that President McGlenn initially selected more than 400 qualified military elites to join the Presidential Guard.

However, as the force continued to expand and eventually became larger, the disadvantages of the lack of officers in this force became apparent. President McGlen was forced to constantly draw soldiers from his private army into the Presidential Guard as junior officers, so that the Presidential Guard grew larger and larger, and finally became a garrison force that could intimidate the capital.

But these 3,000 people are the essence of this force, and they are the most powerful military force of President McGlen. This time, under the leadership of the white scorpion, the railway bridge from the capital to the Azura River was like a bamboo, breaking through the defense of the national liberation organization.

The tactics adopted by the National Liberation Organization (NLQ) to deplete the enemy's vital forces were both positional warfare and a war of attrition. However, the military strength is obviously not at the same level, and although there is not much difference in weaponry, the national liberation organization is obviously lagging behind the other side by a whole era in terms of war concepts and tactics.

A guerrilla can only be a guerrilla force, once it enters a small battle of a certain size. The National Liberation Organization immediately showed signs of decline, retreating again and again, and finally had to retreat to the side of the railway bridge, holding on to the other side with astonishing courage and fearless sacrifice.

And the garrison of the capital on this side, although it is said that a large part of the troops engaged in the attack have been diverted, but the deployment is still very tight. After preliminary reconnaissance, Lin Ruitong judged that there were at least three infantry companies left behind in the entire command headquarters, plus a direct artillery company and guard company. Their strength was still several times larger than that of the FLA defenders, and the defensive pressure on the side of the railway bridge was still very high. Moreover, these companies here are obviously used as reserves and can participate in the offensive at any time.

Therefore, Lin Rui is even more sure that he must defeat this command headquarters and support the armed forces of the National Liberation Organization on the other side of the riverbank. But this qiē needs intelligence support, because they only have one chance. Without sufficient intelligence support, any operation may encounter surprises. So Lin Rui put Wang Haoze and Yelena in charge of reconnaissance to get more information.

The rest of the people were hidden in the woods on the outskirts of the abandoned village, which was not a dangerous place, but it was a dense forest, and it was a good place for Tibetans, and it was impossible to find them unless the government army sent a large force to search them.

Lin Rui looked at his watch, and his mood had an anxiety that he had never felt before. Because he knew that someone could die for every minute he waited, and now their team of only six people was the only surprise soldier who could turn the tide.

"Captain, I'm back. "It was Wang Haoze, another Chinese in the team, who had just been taken out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and came back to resume his life.

"How's the situation?" Lin Rui's cold face didn't show any expression.

"The headquarters of the government army is set up in a town fifteen kilometers northeast, and it is very well defended, the town is guarded by government troops on all sides, and there are patrols that are constantly patrolling, and I have no chance of sneaking in. I just observed their arming from the periphery, and here is the information I gathered. Wang Haoze put the memory card on the battlefield recorder into the tactical computer.

"Well, it seems that we have to be careful in this operation, which is worthy of the most elite presidential guard of the government army. The tactics of this commander are really top-notch. Lin Rui said in a deep voice.

"However, I found the government army's oil depot, probably because their motorized troops were advancing too fast, and the fuel transportation was actually stacked in the open air, with many oil tanker trucks, and hundreds of oil barrels, if it was planned, there should still be a chance. Wang Haoze said.

"Oh, where is their oil depot, and how many people are guarding it," Lin Rui asked with a light in his eyes.

"It's about five kilometres from their station, halfway between the road and the town. Probably, government forces did not place warehouses in the safer rear to facilitate the replenishment of troops at the front. There were quite a few defenders, and I observed that at least one infantry company, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, had arranged three lines of defense around the oil depot, each of which was defended by soldiers, and at the same time there were a large number of patrols patrolling, and there were even a small number of armored vehicles there. Wang Haoze said in detail.

"A strong attack will definitely not work, on the one hand, the enemy is outnumbered, and on the other hand, it is too close to the headquarters of the government army, and once the gunfire is fired, the government troops stationed there can arrive in a few minutes. Lin Rui said with a frown.

"Captain, how about we sneak in in disguise like we did last time, once we get close to the government army's fuel depot, a fire can make the dogs and their fuel supplies all reimbursed. Wang Haoze said in a low voice.

"No, I can't. Lin Rui thought about it and shook his head, "Our main target is the enemy headquarters. Destroying their oil depots can give them some trouble, but it doesn't solve the underlying problem. It will even expose us in advance. It's worth the cost. Yelena is not back, what news is there for her"

"I don't know. Wang Haoze shook his head and said, "She and I are not going in the same direction." But she's always been good at camouflage and infiltrate, and maybe she'll find more than I do. ”

"I'm back. Yelena came out of the bushes, her whole body was covered with leaves and dead branches, and her face was painted with colorful green paint, and she walked in the woods as if she were one with the trees.

"Tell me, the situation you have there, how is the reconnaissance," Lin Rui nodded.

"There are three lines of defense, a barbed wire fence, guarded by layers of soldiers. I tried to dive in and found it a bit difficult, but not without chance. Yelena whispered.

"So, how are the three lines of defense set up by the government army, and how far is each line of defense from the headquarters," Lin Rui thought about and asked.

"These three lines of defense of the government army are set up in the center of the circle of the headquarters, and the outermost line of defense is about three kilometers away from the headquarters, and the number of people defending is one platoon in the southeast, south, north, and west. The second line of defense was less than two kilometres from the headquarters, where government forces had set up roadblocks to check passing vehicles and soldiers, and the defenders were quite numerous. The third line of defense was located near the headquarters, where the government barracks were located, and that line surrounded both the barracks and the headquarters. Yelena said as she removed the memory card from her helmet.

Their helmets were equipped with battlefield recorders, a small camera device. It was enough to record what they saw
