"Twelve Wolves, thirty Cerberus, plus a company of infantry. www.biquge.info"Looking at the VTOL transport planes that are constantly taking off and landing on the tarmac, Liu Yan looked at the manifest in his hand again, "It's really a big deal." It's just that for the sake of more than 100 villagers in just one village, do you need to put in so much effort? We're all about to get close to a regiment now. ”
"It shouldn't be the villagers' problem." Lieutenant Cody, who had already returned to the Phoenix base, said, "I guess I plan to take this opportunity to sweep away the enemy forces around the mining area to ensure the export of ore." However, it is thanks to the general's direct speech that we can get so many supplements in advance. Listening to the brothers in other bases, Colonel Bretowsky was so angry that he smashed the table when he learned about it, but he was helpless. ”
"Because of this batch of equipment and personnel replenishment, the original plan was to give it to him, but it turned out to be transferred to us halfway, and of course he will get angry." Liu Yan looked at the bill of goods and continued, "Fortunately, it was Lin Hai who opened his mouth and gave us this batch of equipment and personnel, and I am afraid that the colonel will accuse the other party of what is going on." ”
"Colonel Bretowsky has been sitting for a short time." Cody smiled, "I heard that not only us, but also within the military of country E, there are many generals who have a lot of complaints about him." If it weren't for his connections in the Ministry of Defense, he wouldn't have been qualified to come to GDI at all. ”
"It's also possible that the people of country E deliberately let him come and send him to death. The enemies that GDI has to face are not so easy to deal with. But why did he say he didn't sit in that position for long? ”
"He was so directed at Iron Eagle's people, do you think the general will keep him in that position? Finding a reason to change is not a difficult task for the generals who have obtained the post of commander-in-chief of GDI. ”
"Then I can understand how others know my status in Iron Eagle and why I am regarded as Lin Hai's confidant." Liu Yan suddenly twitched and said, "It turns out that the culprit is Lin Hai's guy!" He is helping so clearly, a normal person would doubt it! This is deliberately pushing me to the cusp! ”
"You'll have to ask the general yourself." Cody shrugged, "Maybe they have their own considerations." In short, you are still just a petty officer, and you have no right to refuse orders, so you can only find a way to complete the task. You know, how many people still want you to be treated like this. There are high-level connections there, and the speed of promotion is very fast. How long has it been since you rose from captain to major? It takes a lot of people more than ten years. ”
"You mean, Lin Hai is helping me pave the way?" Liu Yan glanced at Cody, "I think Lin Hai is using me to divert some attention so that he can complete his other secret plans." ”
"Maybe, maybe not, what does it matter?" Cody said unconcernedly, "Since we can't refuse, we can only obey." Who called us soldiers, knowing that there are some problems with the mission, unless you can find a reasonable explanation, we have to complete it anyway. ”
"Divide the troops into two teams," Liu Yan said directly without picking up Cody, "the first team is the main force, equipped with two-thirds of the equipment and troops, commanded by me, mainly for the enemy's mobile troops; Another team is under your command to search for and destroy enemy anti-aircraft missile positions. I don't know what the Sijing people will do, so I can only distribute it like this. ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Lieutenant Cody didn't say anything more, but took out the data board, called up the map of the combat area, and discussed the details of the operation with Liu Yan.
"Based on the analysis of the ballistics of the incoming missile that shot down the Bull transport plane before, we have preliminarily calculated several areas where there may be missile positions. However, considering that the other party may be using a mobile launch platform, this range is even larger, and it may take more time to search, so I plan to arrange it this way......"
At night, the GDI troops, which had been prepared, launched an operation, divided into two units and entered the dense forest as planned.
In addition to the main force on guard on the outskirts of the dense forest, the search team led by Lieutenant Cody did not find some clues until two o'clock in the morning, some traces left by wheeled trucks.
Although those wheel marks show signs of vandalism, the Wolf Warrior and Cerberus Power Armor equipped with advanced sensing equipment can still find clues through the remnant traces. In this way, through those traces that were found, Lieutenant Cody found the first defensive missile position that had been transferred. Only one squad of human rebel soldiers was guarding a mobile surface-to-air missile launcher, and the search team easily eliminated them and destroyed a missile launcher, which was an unknown missile launcher, presumably developed by the Holy Brotherhood itself, otherwise it would not have been possible to shoot down the two bull transporters easily.
Then, with the simple maps and communication devices found from the rebel soldiers, GDI was able to find the location of the other rebels.
While Lieutenant Cody led people into the depths of the dense forest to search for and annihilate the rebel missiles, the main force led by Liu Yan also encountered an attack, and a large number of human rebel soldiers surrounded their location from the depths of the dense forest. They didn't have much heavy armor, no tanks, no armoured vehicles, and the only vehicles they used were four-wheeled assault vehicles for two people and motorcycles with weapons, which were the only ones that could move quickly through the dense forest without leaving too many traces - compared to tanks and armored vehicles that knocked down trees.
It's just that the Cerberus power armor that GDI has allocated to Liu Yan's troops in advance is also a kind of equipment that is extremely adaptable to the terrain, although the road movement speed is not as fast as that of assault vehicles and motorcycles, but in the depths of the dense forest, the mobility is far higher than those off-road vehicles - the weapon firepower is also stronger.
In the dense forest, from time to time, a fireball will explode, some of which are explosions caused by rockets or missiles, and some explosions that occur when vehicles are destroyed, and for a while, the originally dark dense forest is constantly illuminated by guns and explosions.
Liu Yan even personally led six more advanced wolf-warrior power armors to fight the human rebels who rushed out from all directions at the forefront - fortunately, this time they encountered all human rebels, so that even if the GDI troops were not as strong as the other side, with better equipment, they still withstood the siege of the rebels and eliminated most of them.
In less than twenty minutes of fighting, hundreds of human rebel soldiers were killed and more than two dozen light vehicles were destroyed. Not to mention that the offensive of the human rebels was immediately contained, and Liu Yan led the team to counterattack once, and after leaving dozens of corpses again, they fled back to the depths of the dense forest.
In order to prevent being surrounded by going too deep, Liu Yan ordered the pursuit to stop after a short distance of pursuit, retreated a distance, and began to clean up the battlefield. Like Cody, he also planned to get information from the rebel soldiers who had been killed - at this time he wanted to catch some live ones for interrogation, but in the previous battle, the GDI side was unable to catch them alive when they were inferior to the other side, and the rebel soldiers who were wounded by them were also rescued by their companions when they retreated.
This made Liu Yan extremely impatient, he didn't want to waste too much time in this place, not only did he not like to fight at night in the dense forest, but the main problem was the security of the Phoenix Base. In order to carry out this sweeping mission, he took most of the defenders of the base with him.
Although there are still some soldiers and power armor, as well as automatic turret guards, I am afraid that I will have a lot of dreams at night, and after too much delay in this place, my lair will be raided by the enemy.
Although Liu Yan can apply for some more support from Lin Hai, it will affect his evaluation, he is only a major now, and the troops he can command are close to half a regiment, and asking for people from above will make people doubt his lack of ability, and it will affect others' opinions of him. Don't look at Liu Yan, like Lin Hai on weekdays, he is used to being undisciplined and teasing, but in some places, he still cares a lot about other people's eyes, especially when looking at his personal ability. He also has his own pride.
"Sir, Lieutenant Cody has destroyed the second anti-aircraft missile position." Just as he hesitated, new information arrived, making it clear to him that he didn't have much time to think, "Now they're heading towards the next identified possible missile position." It's just that it's already deep into the enemy's control zone, should we send some reinforcements to them, or should we launch an attack here to help them contain the enemy? ”
"No, contact the lieutenant and let them join us, and then we will attack the enemy's missile positions once we are united." Liu Yan raised his hand and objected, "With our equipment superiority, the local combat forces will not be at a disadvantage, and we will soon be able to destroy those anti-aircraft missiles." Not to mention the previous battle, the rebels also suffered a lot of losses, and they should be powerless to stop our actions. ”
More than ten minutes later, after receiving the order to converge, Lieutenant Cody rushed with his team to join Liu Yan's main force, and the whole team immediately moved to the route where the rebels had retreated.
Probably because of the heavy losses in the previous assault on Liu Yan, they did not encounter many obstacles when they destroyed the third anti-aircraft missile launch position. Of course, the launchers on the third missile position were moved before they arrived, and it took them a lot of work to destroy the missile launchers there.
After this battle, Liu Yan understood that the rebels were transferring all their missile positions, and once they could not destroy those missiles before the other side could move and redeploy their positions, or the other side would withdraw the missiles to the stronghold, the operation would be extended, and once the time was extended, there would be unexpected variables, which Liu Yan could not accept.
As for putting another fire here? In view of the fact that the mountain was set on fire during the previous fighting, the Zambian government has "tactfully" made a "suggestion" to the GDI side, hoping that the local environment will not be damaged as much as possible during the fighting. So when it wasn't a pinch, he couldn't get more long-range fire support like before.
"It's all but a gamble." Liu Yan said secretly, he knew that even if the combat operation failed, he would not be in any danger to his life, Lin Hai must have been staring here, as long as he gave the order, there would be a rescue force here at any time to provide support, but in the future, he was only afraid that there would be no more opportunities to command the combat troops, this time it was an opportunity and a test. Although Lin Hai did not explain it in advance, he could judge this conclusion himself.
"Sir, the trail of a rebel missile launcher has been spotted." The clones sent out to reconnoiter quickly found the location of the rest of the rebels' missile launchers, but the results were a little mixed for Liu Yan, "They are withdrawing the rest of the launchers to their base, which is located behind the village where the evacuation operation is to be carried out. If you want to attack that base, you need to pass through that village. Maybe we can complete the mission by picking up the villagers by land without destroying the rebel base? ”
"This is the most convenient way, but destroying the rebel base is only the task given to us by the above." Although Liu Yan also wanted to accept the suggestion of Second Lieutenant Luo Lun, who was in charge of the reconnaissance mission, he wanted to get greater results, not just the outcome of successfully rescuing civilians, "The key is that there is no one in the village." The rebels are based on the other side of the village, and it's hard to say whether the villagers have been killed or taken hostage. Therefore, the final destruction of the rebel base is the safest and safest action. In that case, even if all the villagers have been killed, we will have the results to explain to the above. ”
"If that's the case, it's a bit of a problem." Second Lieutenant Loren replied, "We found the village from a relatively distant location, and we didn't go in to investigate, so we don't know if there were people in it, or how many there were. It's early in the morning, it's time for ordinary people to rest, and we can't tell by looking at signs of activity. The sensors you carry with you can't detect any life in a building at such a distance. ”
"It doesn't matter." Liu Yan waved his hand and said, "When we pass by there, we can just send someone into the village to inspect it." Now our target is not civilians, but rebel bases. Tell me about the rebel base. ”
Loren took out his individual computer terminal and uploaded the picture taken during the reconnaissance to the electronic map - although it is more convenient and faster to have the help of drones in reconnaissance work, but in the face of enemies with the same similar technology, drones are easy to expose reconnaissance intentions, so this reconnaissance work is all done by the clones with manpower.
"The base is not large, even larger than the Phoenix base, but it is well located, hidden in a mountain col, surrounded by dense vegetation, and they also use a wide range of optical camouflage and holographic camouflage systems. If it weren't for the discovery of the missile launcher that was withdrawn into it, it would have been difficult for us to discover the existence of that base. But once the location of that base is discovered, satellites can be summoned for a full depth scan. ”
