Chapter 590: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows?
Shen Yun was not asking about any random weather station, but about the military weather station stationed in the suburbs of Pengcheng that served the two armored regiments here.
The meteorologists working at this meteorological station have all studied at the Jinling Institute of Meteorology, and many of them have talents at the master's level. It can be said that as far as the country is concerned, these people are definitely at the elite level in this industry.
So Shen Yun wasn't worried that their forecasts would be wrong at all.
And before he came, he had instructed the officers who remained in the camp to inform him of the latest weather forecast every half hour.
Half an hour had passed, and the armored detachment of the 2nd battalion had already rushed almost thirty kilometers to the 1102 area.
The latest news received by Shen Yun shows that the trend of meteorological changes is the same as before.
Shen Yun was much more relieved at this time, looking at the screen inside the armor at the rapid movement of the armored cluster in the dark night outside, Shen Yun stretched his waist and nodded to the soldiers beside him.
"I'll squint for a while, and call me later when it rains."
It's not that Shen Yun has any privilege, he has been preparing for the three hours that the soldiers are resting, and he is really tired at this time.
Now he rested for half an hour, and when it rained, he had to watch the companies get to the target area smoothly, and the battle that followed, all of which required a lot of mental attention.
The armor swayed, but Shen Yun didn't seem to feel it, and quickly fell asleep after receiving the warrior's response.
This ability to fall asleep quickly is an instinct acquired from long-term training in special forces.
When Shen Yun was woken up, he habitually raised his wrist and glanced at the time.
At 1:06 a.m., the precipitation deviation was only six minutes. And the pouring rain did not affect Shen Yun's plan at all, everything was going according to his expectations.
When he picked up the communicator again, Shen Yun's order seemed much more normal.
"Attention Units, from now on, we will be on flat ground or on a gentle slope for the rest of the journey. Speed down to fifty, pay attention to keep your distance. The fourth company will inform all units of the road conditions at any time. ”
The second battalion, which was slowly declining, slowly advanced in this endless darkness. At the same time, the first battalion was not in as difficult as Shen Yun imagined.
In other words, they still have a long way to go before they are in trouble.
Bai Xiaojun's impression of Miao Sheng was a warlike and greedy guy, but he didn't know that he could sit in the position of battalion commander, and he couldn't do it without a little cunning.
Shen Yun also knew about the meteorological problems, and it was because of this factor that he had been letting the armor of the first battalion move slowly since he set off from zero point. As for the purpose, it's really a bit insidious.
According to his expectations, there was no precipitation on the route of the three battalions, and naturally they were the first to reach the central area. As long as he slows down, the second battalion will definitely encounter the third battalion first, and then the two sides will definitely fight.
When both were defeated, he took a battalion and suddenly came out, and at that time, he not only ensured the victory of the battalion to the greatest extent, but also was able to give Mo Xiaomin an explanation.
The idea is not ingenious, but he miscalculated one point, that is, Shen Yun is not a person who plays cards according to common sense.
The rules of the melee did not require the three battalions to be in the center, but they artificially assumed that they would be able to fight there to the best of their abilities based on things like terrain.
But for Shen Yun, the ultimate essence of this confrontation is to win, and the technical and tactical things are all things that need to be done when they have to go head-to-head.
Miao Sheng was still dreaming in the battalion commander's chariot, even if the chariot in front had to stop for emergency treatment because of obstacles, he didn't care.
Half past three in the morning.
The first battalion had already come to Area 1102 according to Shen Yun's plan. The rain ended at half past two punctually, but now a lot of rain had collected in the low-lying areas of the road.
Looking at the surrounding terrain, Shen Yun thought for a while, and continued to arrange in the communicator: "Fourth Company, travel three kilometers backwards and go around to the other side, and then turn off the fire and wait for our guests." ”
"Five companies, stand by in place; Sixth Company, you go forward two kilometers to extinguish the fire and ambush. Bai Xiaojun, after arriving at the designated location, you take two people to arrange an infrared detector in order to detect the specific location of the other party. ”
Area 1102 is a very special place.
Shen Yun expected the road that the first camp would pass through formed an intersecting cross shape with Shen Yun's current location.
The reason why the fourth company needed to retreat three kilometers and make a detour was that Shen Yun was afraid that the armor at the front of the first battalion would see the traces of their march, and the other reason was that there was a road leading to the opposite side three kilometers away.
The terrain of the area where the Sixth Company went was slightly higher than the road, so two or three meters.
Don't look at these two or three meters, Miao Sheng's battalion can't climb up at all, because when they came in their direction, they encountered a cliff that was only two or three meters high.
With such a favorable ambush position, how could Shen Yun let it go.
In just half an hour, all the staff were in place, and Shen Yun waited quietly in the command car for the infrared detector to send a message.
The others in the chariot were forcibly ordered to rest by Shen Yun, and he was the only one waiting.
This is an hour.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Shen Yun was ready to order the big guy to make a detour to the central position if there was no trace of the first battalion at five o'clock, but just when the watch hand pointed to 4:39, Bai Xiaojun's excited voice came through the radio waves.
"Battalion commander, they're coming."
"Attention units, the enemy has appeared and is ready to fight. Remember, when they enter our encirclement, first knock out the head and tail, and then the middle blossom will throw them into chaos. ”
"The night combat that was trained some time ago is now going to come in handy."
Shen Yun felt that his heart was beating violently at this moment, and this was the first time he had felt like this since he came back from the United States.
Wait, wait, the sound of the engine group in the silent night sky after the new rain became louder and louder, and Shen Yun knew that the armor of the first battalion was about to enter the pocket he had laid out.
Bai Xiaojun's report came at the right time:
"Battalion commander, at their speed now, in five minutes, the last tank will enter our ambush circle."
According to his armored night vision goggles, it can be seen that in another thirteen minutes, the first armored car in front will also drive out of their ambush circle. With a time difference of eight minutes, Shen Yun needed to grasp the time of firing very accurately.
Completely abandoning the watch, Shen Yun's heart began to time very accurately at this moment.
Five minutes felt like a day in his heart at this time, and finally, when the countdown was zero, Shen Yun grabbed the communicator and ordered with confidence:
"Fire."
