"Hey, Fred, calm down. "Although I have just arrived, I don't know much about the current situation, but I have to say that the rescue operation should not be too problematic, you see, I didn't come back like this?"www.biquge.info ”
"Hell, I just think that's too presumptuous!" Fred said, "The operation was already rushed, and now Rex's plan is a bit of a mess. ”
"But we still need to go and rescue others." "The longer it drags on, the lower the chances of them surviving." Even if they are not from country Y, they are now our comrades-in-arms, so we can't watch them be wiped out by the Sijing people. What's more, including yourself, didn't you also rely on Iron Eagle's reckless rescue plan to save you? ”
"I didn't say no, but now, since we can't act in hiatus, then we can't play what we should, at most a group of more elite infantry. In a situation like this, without a good plan of action, it adds fuel to the fire. ”
"So aren't we just talking about a plan of action now? In fact, there are not enough troops here, and only by bringing back all the friendly forces that have been isolated and trapped as soon as possible can we at least say that we have the ability to protect ourselves, right? With that, Raleigh looked at Rex, "Captain, what are you going to do?" Just send troops directly, just like Vincent found my group, break through the siege of the Sijing people, rush in, and bring people back? ”
"It's simple, but it's effective." Rex said expressionlessly, "The only problem is distance. This is a city, not a wilderness plain, and all routes still need to follow the city plan and streets, especially since the troops we send out have to bring heavy vehicles, so they can only move along the streets. In this way, there will be a lot of time spent on the road - after all, not all routes are straight and short, and some routes may make the troops take more detours and spend more time. ”
"That's the problem." Fred said to Raleigh, "You think, the troops we sent out will have to walk a considerable distance to reach the location of the trapped friendly forces, and then after a round of fierce fighting, after rescuing people, they will have to walk the same or even longer way back here again, and this journey will take enough time for the Sijing people to attack on the road I don't know how many times." This is equivalent to needing the troops to fight all the way out and back all the way, how can this be endured! ”
"There is no way to do this, people must be saved, but we are completely exposed to the eyes of Sijing people, and it is helpless to have this situation." Raleigh nodded as he spoke, then shook his head again, then looked at Rex, "I heard Lieutenant Vincent say that you can still get in touch with the rear here?" ”
"Yes." Rex nodded and said, "But if you want them to send reinforcements, or provide some help, then don't think about it, they don't have a way to send reinforcements, we've tried before." ”
"Isn't air support okay?" Raleigh asked, "Although the plasma cloud generated by the storm pillar of the Sijing people has a great impact on our aircraft, its area of influence is not too wide, they only cover the sky above the landing site, and our aircraft can completely carry out out-of-zone strikes outside its area of influence." Even if we can't provide close air support as we did before, we should be able to help our operations to some extent, right? ”
"We've already proposed, Major." Rex said calmly, "But unfortunately, the M Army can't do this at the moment. Their planes are currently fighting with the Sijing Craft for air supremacy over the battle line, and so far, they have not gained the upper hand. It is even more impossible to expect them to send planes to support in this situation. ”
"How so?" Raleigh was a little surprised, unlike the other officers in the command center, although he had just heard the news, but the M Army had exchanged air battles with the Sijing people before, he still knew, he didn't understand why several hours had passed, and the M Army, which was still fighting on the ground, had not even been able to take the air supremacy over the engagement line.
"The number of combat aircraft of the Sijing people is relatively large." Fred was also a lot calmer at this time, he patted Raleigh on the shoulder and said, "The news we got from the M Army command is that they have shot down nearly a thousand Sijing fighters until now, but the Sijing people still send a steady stream of fighters to the air to compete with the M Army for air supremacy, and this is still the case." As for Army M, although it was not able to obtain specific data from the headquarters, judging from the communication that it had replied that it had suffered heavy losses, the losses of Army M's own aircraft, in terms of proportion, would not be light. ”
"This means that we can only withstand the artillery fire of the Sijing people all the way, rush to the trapped friendly army, and after robbing people, we will rush back all the way to the artillery fire?" Raleigh rubbed his head with a headache, and his expression became similar to that of Captain Fred just now.
"It's not like we're completely out of the cracks." At this time, Rex's expression seemed to remember, and he said to everyone, "Even if there is no air support, but long-range support from ground firepower should be available." Even if Army M does not attach as much importance to ground long-range firepower as country Z, after all, it is still an old foundation for many years, and it will not be bad in this regard. Perhaps we can request long-range fire support from the ground from Army M. ”
"It is impossible for missiles to strike with precision." Raleigh said, "There is a high probability that they will be intercepted by the Sijing people on the way, and they can only rely on artillery." But in terms of accuracy of artillery, there is still a gap with missiles, unless all shells use guided shells, but now there is no satellite guidance, the accuracy of guided shells has also declined, in order not to be accidentally injured by artillery fire, we can only use laser guidance by ground personnel to supplement the guidance, but it will be affected by the communication interference of Sijing people, and the guidance signal is difficult to transmit to the shells. In other words, the safest way is for us to be cleared in advance by long-range artillery. ”
"It's hard, too." Fred said, "Let's not talk about whether the M army has enough long-range artillery to use, and even if there is, it is estimated that most of it will be used to fight the Sijing people, and the artillery that can be provided to us should only be a small number of them." In this case, a small number of artillery is afraid ...... And once the artillery attack is used, this New York City, I am afraid that it will have to rebuild a lot of places if it is recaptured, right? ”
"It already needs to be rebuilt." Raleigh said unconcernedly, "Anyway, the essence of New York is in Manhattan, and fortunately, Manhattan does not belong to any war zone, and other places, as long as they are not destroyed too badly, rebuilding can provide a lot of employment opportunities, so there is no need to worry too much about the destruction of the city." As for the possible lack of artillery that can be supplied, this should not be a problem. I remember that the New York cluster has introduced a new long-range precision strike artillery with a fairly high accuracy and rate of fire, which should meet our needs even in small quantities. ”
"Pacifier self-propelled artillery." Rex interjected, "That's a good long-range artillery. If the New York cluster of Army M can provide us with this kind of artillery, then our actions will have a certain guarantee, at least we don't have to worry about the operation troops being trapped by the Sijing people, and the long-range artillery will open the way for the operation troops. ”
"Captain Dominic can act with you." Raleigh continued, "He's a New York native, he's familiar with the road, and he should be able to guide some shortcuts for the operation. ”
"Yes." Vincent turned back and nodded to Dominic, who had been standing behind him without speaking, and then said, "The troops outside have been resupplied and are ready to go." This time, the target was a high school fifteen kilometers away, where we had detected a large number of fluctuations in radio communication signals. If there are no surprises, there should be members of the contingent there, and there are quite a few of them. So for this operation, we are ready to dispatch four tanks, sixteen armored vehicles. In terms of helicopter gunships, because the anti-aircraft firepower of the Sijing people is too strong, they will not be brought this time. In terms of accompanying infantry, it is planned to send 60 men, and after 16 armored vehicles, there is still enough space to carry trapped friendly personnel. ”
"Vincent, I'm in charge of this operation." After seeing that everyone had no objections, Rex stepped forward and said to Vincent, "You've been out several times and rescued a lot of people, so I'll do it this time." You can't just stay in the command center and wait for the results. (To be continued.) )
