0533 TIDE RISING (SAT)

0533

When the patrol encountered an attack, it immediately alarmed other troops around the base, and several patrols closest to the place of engagement also rushed to hear the news! Heavy reinforcements equipped with tanks and helicopter gunships, which had been prepared long ago, were also dispatched to the base as soon as possible.

The patrol on the periphery of Suoxing was not too far from the base, only five kilometers, and it only took five or six minutes to hold out for reinforcements to rush to the combat area to support. While the small strength of the patrol would certainly not last long, the other patrols arriving from nearby would be an important pillar in meeting this operational requirement, and the lightly armed troops were given orders to retreat if the situation was very unfavorable before reinforcements arrived.

It's all about buying time. Although modern human military technology has made night combat no longer a major weakness of human beings, especially the M Army, which is equipped with advanced equipment to every soldier, all of whom have night vision devices, but in fact, night combat is still not so easy for human beings to observe the target, and it still has a considerable impact. Therefore, the original plan of the M Army was to delay the battle until daylight, and then use air firepower to settle the battle in one fell swoop.

It's just that there was a small accident in this plan, that is, how did the Sijing troops suddenly appear within five kilometers of this base? You must know that in addition to the patrols and sentry posts on the ground, the reconnaissance range of the M Army's unmanned reconnaissance aircraft has been extended to a distance of 100 kilometers, and there are also early warning planes in the sky that are cruising 24 hours a day. In the base, there is also an underground monitor that was bought at a great price from country Z. All this preparation was to prevent accidents, but this accident still happened.

"Can you confirm the strength of the Sijing people's incoming troops?" Major General Edward also appeared in the command headquarters at the same time as the alarm sounded at the base.

"The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is heading towards the place of the firefight. It takes two minutes. In addition, we contacted the patrol team that encountered the enemy, and they could not judge the size of the enemy's forces for the time being! In short, the enemy fire is fierce, they have lost most of their vehicles and personnel, and are retreating under the cover of two other groups of supporting patrols! ”

Major General Edward nodded, sat down in his chair, and then nodded on a spot on the electronic map: "Let Captain Pete's men hurry up, since the team of firefights is already retreating." Then they should be able to meet them sooner. Captain Pete was ordered to immediately defend himself on the spot after receiving the patrol. The base will continue to send reinforcements, and they must stop the Sijing people on the periphery of the base. ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy, General." The one who answered him was a colonel, who pointed to the electronic map. On it are the blue triangle logo representing the M Army itself and the Sijing people triangle logo representing red. At present, the blue logo representing the blue M army patrol has been surrounded from three sides, and their position has been compressed to a minimum, and from time to time the blue logo suddenly disappears, "The patrol team has lost too much, and it can be predicted from this aspect that the strength of the Sijing people cannot be too small, otherwise the strength of the three patrols." Reduced to this point in just ten minutes, Captain Pete's reinforcements. Although it is a heavily armored unit, it has only one company in strength, and it is impossible to rely on one company as a base point for defense. If the Sijing people have enough troops, they can only send a small number of troops to attract Captain Pete and them, and the other troops can bypass and attack the base directly. ”

"I don't expect the Captain's forces to be able to withstand the Sijing Army, I just need them to buy us some time." Major General Edward said unhurriedly, "Although the patrol team gave us an immediate warning, so that we avoided the fate of being attacked by a sneak attack, it will still take some time for the entire base to be fully operational, and the location where those Sijing troops appeared is still too close to the base, so close that we can barely react." And it's still late at night, so it's inherently unfavorable to us, and if we get too close, air support is likely to blow up on our own heads. Therefore, Captain Pete's task is only to delay the Sijing troops as much as possible, and find out the strength of the Sijing people for the command. Not only Pete, but also several other directions will send reconnaissance teams, and I don't want to know anything about this base if it is completely surrounded by the Sijing people. ”

"So, on the flanks of Captain Pete's troops, shall we send other troops to assist?"

"Of course, with Captain Pete's position as a base point, spread out the two flanks of defense. Do you need me to teach you this kind of thing again? "Yes, General."

With only one four-wheeled armored vehicle remaining, the patrol that had been the first to engage the enemy finally waited for the other two patrols to come to help. The two reinforcement patrols slowed down the offensive of the Sijing attacking force with a missile salvo, rushed to the side of the remnant, and then quickly retreated to the rear with the wounded and the dead who could be found. The quick action of this retreat reflected that these marines were all veterans with rich combat experience, but even so, when rescuing their comrades, they still lost three Humvee vehicles and the crew on them!

In the face of the thick armor of the Shock Wave Robots, the Marines' individual rifles were almost useless, even with small-caliber light machine guns, and only the 12.7 mm heavy machine guns mounted on Humvees and four-wheeled armored vehicles, paired with armor-piercing shells, could effectively penetrate the armor of these quadruple robots.

However, compared with the number of incoming shock wave robots, the number of heavy machine guns is obviously insufficient, because although they can effectively fight against shock wave robots, heavy machine guns cannot destroy them with one or two bullets, at least five or six bullets must be hit, and they must hit key points to destroy these robots in one fell swoop.

The three patrols add up to only a dozen heavy machine guns, which are used to deal with human beings, and the position is so good, there is no problem in dealing with hundreds or thousands of people, but it is not very effective to use heavy machine guns as rifles, after all, such heavy weapons, in addition to vehicle-mounted and fixed use, are not so convenient to move!

As for the Sijing people, although all the current battles with the M Army patrol are only shock wave robots, but human weapons require heavy firepower to effectively destroy the robots, and the plasma bombs of the robots, basically one shot, as long as they hit the fuel tank or ammunition on the vehicle, they can destroy a vehicle, except for the wheeled armored vehicle that can hold a few more times, the Humvee vehicle is completely unable to resist the erosion of the plasma bomb, and it penetrates completely, and with the speed of the plasma bomb, the Humvee car has very few chances to dodge, so in a short time, Three patrol cars lost almost all of their Humvees!

This also brings another consequence, that is, there are more people and fewer cars, after all, the target of people is smaller than that of cars, and it is easier to find cover, but this makes their retreat suffer! In the end, the dead and seriously wounded could only be put in the car, and the lightly wounded and others covered the vehicle to go first, and then left on foot!

Once again, all the missiles were fired, destroying the nearest group of shock wave robots, and several armored vehicles could also evacuate first at this time, because they had used up all the missiles, only the heavy machine guns were left, and if they didn't return to replenish the ammunition, their role would only be to attract the firepower of the Sijing people's weapons as a target.

As soon as the armored vehicles left, the remaining infantry had even more difficult times, as they quickly ran out of individual anti-armor weapons such as bazookas in a short engagement, and now had to rely on grenades and a few heavy machine guns removed from the vehicles.

But fortunately, they were not too far from the base while fighting and retreating, and when the patrol infantry, which numbered only more than 30 people, could no longer get rid of the pursuit of the shockwave robots, a flash of fire appeared in the sky, and one after another anti-tank missiles roared from a distance! Lost in the cluster of shockwave robots in the charge! Suddenly, several huge fireballs rose in the night sky, and then disappeared in an instant, leaving only fragments of stumps and still burning metal junk!

Then, firelight and piercing whistling continued to appear in the sky, and a sea of fire also appeared in the Shockwave Robot, and in the firelight, a large number of fragments of the Shockwave Robot were blown up and scattered in all directions! (To be continued.) )
