"Sir," the clone messenger handed him a report as he walked into the headquarters, "Frontline observers report strange movements from the Wesley City defenders. ”

"Strange movements?" Yu Qian walked quickly to the holographic map, flipped through the report, and said, "Show it to me on the map." ”

Soon, the holographic map showed the movement of troops of the special technical division stationed in the city of Wesley.

"They abandoned the perimeter and concentrated their forces in the rear of the north of the city? What does that mean? Yu Qian only glanced at it, and then frowned, he didn't understand what the other party's purpose was, "Is it to give up this city?" But they still have a large number of troops in the city? ”

"Do you want to send a reconnaissance team into the city to investigate?". Vatutin, who had been staying at the headquarters, asked, "Since the other party has abandoned the outskirts of the city, it won't be too much of a problem to send a reconnaissance team in." Moreover, I think Master Chief will be more free now. ”

"I'll go to 3 to apply, but ......" Yu Qian paused, "which regiment is ready to attack now?" ”

"Sir, it's the first regiment. They prepared it ahead of schedule yesterday. ”

Yu Qian patted the table and said, "Then we can send the first regiment to conduct a tentative attack." If the other side is going to give up, we can also find out in battle. At the same time, it will be easier for the scout team to infiltrate. ”

Vatutin immediately asked: "But with only one regiment of troops, will it be too small if you attack the city?" ”

"It's not that we want to rely on this regiment to take Wesley, it's just to use them for armed reconnaissance." Yu Qian said calmly, "If the higher authorities agree to let the Master Chief go to reconnoitre, they will also play a cover role." And we can also test the actual combat capabilities of those new equipment. ”

"Then you go and apply for assistance first, if the higher authorities don't agree to let the Master Chief come, the plan will have to be changed again."

The final result of the application was a bit disappointing for Yu Qian and Vatujing. Worried about the movement of Army M, Chen Xi had to stay at the airport and could not move for the time being.

"It seems that we are on our own now." Glancing at Vatujing helplessly, Yu Qian picked up the communicator, "Ma Dian." Your regiment is ready to be dispatched. ”

"Yes, sir. So if we can, can we just take Wesley? ”

"Madian, even if I agree with your regiment, it doesn't have the strength. You only have one regiment of more than 6,000 people, and the other side has a division of more than 10,000 people. Keep in mind your mission, just to capture a forward position in the city of Wesley to facilitate future operations. Of course, if the other party gives up Wesley himself, I have no objection to you occupying the whole city. ”

"Understood. Sir. ”

As the order was delivered, the 1st Regiment of the Defense Army, which had been deployed 40 kilometers from the city of Wesley, was all dispatched, and more than 6,000 soldiers rushed to the city in various vehicles.

And this operation was soon discovered by the sentries of the special technical division and reported to the division headquarters.

"Only one direction is attacking?" After getting the news, Berico looked at Anthony in surprise, they didn't expect that the other party would come quickly. It's still swaggering along the road.

"How is the opponent's troop situation?" Anthony asked again.

"We can't get too close, and the opposing forward force has thousands of men. Before we could get closer, they spotted us and opened fire on us. We'll have to retreat first. ”

"Can you send a drone to reconnoitre?". Anthony looked at Berico again, at the time of the loss of contact with the Universal Technology Trading Group, they no longer had the support of satellite reconnaissance, and wanted to know the information of the other party. It can only be sent out on the ground or through aerial reconnaissance. …

Berico nodded and replied, "It was ordered five minutes ago. Wait a little longer and the results should come back. ”

As he was talking, someone came in and reported: "Sir, the unmanned reconnaissance plane we sent out has been shot down!" ”

"Sure enough." Hearing that the drone was shot down, Berico was not much surprised. He just sighed, "It seems that their air defense is doing a good job, and we don't have a chance to see anything useful." ”

"Now it looks like we're going to have to let them into the city and fight in the streets." "Let's see if there's a chance to take some captives and come back for interrogation." ”

"It's not easy." Berico smiled wryly, and after signaling the herald to go to battle, he turned back and continued to say to Anthony, "It seems that we have to plan ahead. ”

"No," Anthony shook his head, "not that far!" At least they'll have to take over most of the city before they can start! We're not fighting to evacuate yet! ”

Berico lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to do that?" ”

Glancing at the soldiers around him, Anthony also replied in a low voice and firmly: "This is the only way we can go!" Unless you want to die! ”

Outside the city, the 1st Battalion, as the advance striker, followed the retreating troops of the Special Technician Division all the way to the city of Wesley, and watched the other side disappear into the streets and alleys, Casto ordered the advance to stop.

Sandy looked around and said, "Sir, they've completely abandoned the perimeter, and haven't even built a single defense. ”

Casto looked at the street not far away and replied, "They're just going to fight us in the streets." Get ready to go inside, that's what we knew from the beginning. ”

Sandy grimaced, then gave the soldiers an order: "All right! Everyone, prepare! Take the platoon as a unit, and the battle search advances! ”

"Wait a minute!" Casto interjected, "Change the order!" Advance in a company unit, with the first company as the center, the second and third companies as the left flank, and the fourth and fifth companies as the right flank! The distance between the companies is no more than 500 meters! ”

"It's only three kilometers wide to carry out such a battle?"

"It doesn't matter, our mission is only to reconnoitre, and we are not asked to take the entire city alone." Casto said and took out a map, "Let's follow this main road, don't spread too far apart, and finally we just need to reach this city square, stop and wait for the troops behind." ”

"This place is only five kilometers from the edge of the city, and we stop here?"

"Hey, man, don't you look at how many of us have here? It's a big city, you can't say that we can take it with more than a thousand people, right? ”

"I mean at least take the city center!" Sandy looked around, no one noticed them, "Aren't the fourth and fifth regiments being formed, and it has not yet been decided who will be the commander, I overheard the people above say a few days ago that if any of us among the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders performed well in this operation, they would be considered to be the commanders of those two regiments!" ”

"Save it," Casto laughed, "this captain is not so easy to be. If you attack rashly in order to fight for that regiment commander, it's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, let alone the regiment commander, you may not even be able to be the battalion commander. ”

Sandy said impatiently, "I said Casto, can you not always be so careful?" So when will you be promoted! ”

"Take your time." Castor smiled, "I'm already a battalion commander now, and I'm still a regiment and a battalion, and it's only a matter of time before I am promoted to regiment commander." You don't have to worry, we are all old men in this army, and it is impossible for the above not to consider you. You know, our current highest-ranking military rank is regimental commander, and we are only one or two steps away from that step. ”…

Seeing what Sandy wanted to say, Castor stretched out his hand to stop him: "Okay, that's all for the gossip, and then it's time for serious combat." Follow orders exactly! Go to that town square and stop! Also, inform the companies that we need some prisoners, and let them try to catch some alive for me. ”

The 1st Battalion officially entered the city.

The soldiers of each company, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, cautiously entered the mission area of their headquarters.

Since the 1st Battalion had been engaged in numerous exchanges of fire with the enemy at Fogg, they also had the most combat experience of any unit in the Wehrmacht. They also have a corresponding experience of street fighting.

From time to time, soldiers would enter the houses next to the street to inspect them, or the whole team would stop and shoot at suspicious places before sending someone to check them.

Although they had entered the city for nearly a kilometer, they had not yet seen a single enemy. This made the advance of the troops more cautious and slowed down again and again.

Casto soon found out about this as well.

"We can't go any further." He looked at the map and said in a heavy tone, "We've all walked so far, but we haven't seen a single figure. Not only the enemy, but also the inhabitants of the city did not see a single one! ”

"The inhabitants must have fled the war, right?" He hadn't seen the enemy yet, and Sandy didn't know the bottom of his heart, he looked at the buildings around him a little nervously, "Could it be that this could be a trap?" ”

"But it's too much of a trap to use an entire city, isn't it?" Casto scratched his head, grabbed the communication soldier on the side, and ordered him, "Contact the regimental headquarters, report the situation here, and then request the whole area intelligence reconnaissance to see if the entire division of special technicians has all evacuated the city!" Be quick! ”

"They didn't evacuate the city," Command responded immediately, though it was strange that the defenders didn't fire a single shot, "and as with the previous intelligence, their main forces were concentrated on the main road north of the city. Although there are still guards in the city, the exact distribution of their forces is not clear. ”

"What should I do?" In addition to knowing that the other party was still in the city and found nothing, Sandy looked at Casto helplessly.

"Let's move on." Casto pointed ahead, "Don't inspect those houses one by one, let's occupy those street corners first." Let the main force in the back inspect the room. ”

"Won't this be a belly and a back?"

"If there is an attack, then even people and houses will be bombarded." (To be continued......)
