Lin Yuan's side stood the chief of staff of the special staff, the original chief of staff Tao Zheng had already gone to the mocking ship as a political commissar, the current chief of staff was named Zhang Haibing, a young and promising staff officer on the Beijing ship, he heard Lin Yuan's words and immediately asked: "Captain, is there anything wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed to the night sky outside and said, "You listen to the gunshots, something is wrong!" ”

Zhang Haibing listened carefully for a while, but he didn't fight much land battles, so he was inexperienced, and he didn't hear anything wrong after listening for a long time, so he asked, "Lin Shuai, didn't you hear anything wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Too little, too few gunshots!" ”

Zhang Haibing asked, "Too little?" What does that mean? ”

Lin Yuan said: "According to the results of our reconnaissance, there are at least 100,000 people in the enemy's battalion, according to the experience of the Hejian battalion, how can there be 3,000 guns, but now the guns on the battlefield are not even 500!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Haibing hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the Qing army has fled?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Of course, it is best to escape, but we are commanders, and we must not make this judgment easily, what if the enemy is making a detour behind us?" Moreover, the Qing army has been training recently, so the combat effectiveness and will to fight should not be weak, and I don't think they will flee or surrender so easily. ”

Zhang Haibing said: "We have already considered this possibility, our reconnaissance troops are on guard on our left and right flanks as much as 15 kilometers, counting the distance in front of our troops, if the enemy wants to detour back to our flank, he needs to take a large arc with a diameter of 35 kilometers, and with their maneuvering speed, the battle will have already been finished by the time they reach behind us." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Very good, the plan is very thorough!" Order the drone troops, quickly dispatch drones, reconnoiter the situation of the enemy's military camp, and see if the Qing army has fled. ”

Zhang Haibing turned around and gave an order, and then said: "The drone has taken off, and it is expected to be transmitted back to the Qing army barracks in ten minutes, and the data will be processed after fifteen minutes, and it can be watched." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and then observed the battlefield. On the battlefield at this time, the tanks have fired the first wave of high-explosive grenades to the Qing army barracks, and the lethality of a shell is limited, so the tanks have adopted a coordinated attack method, that is, each tank has a fixed position, a row of tanks shoots together, and the fragments of the shells can cover the outer defense line of the barracks, whether the enemy is an ordinary soldier or a sniper, there is no power to parry!

After the tank shells were "ploughed", it was time for the Pyros to shoot, the Pyros squatted down to the edge of the outermost repulsion horse, pointed the spray gun at the repulsion horse, pressed the ignition button, and the flames flew in an instant, and the wooden rejecting horses instantly became a burning torch, and the Pyro retreated immediately after spraying the flames, although the people in the barracks could not see the appearance of the Pyro, but the people inside would aim at the bright place to shoot, if the Pyro did not retreat, it would be very dangerous.

Ten minutes later, the heat burned the wood horses into black charcoal, and the tanks continued to move forward, running over the charcoal, and the flamethrowers fired again, turning the inner horses into torches.

All this was seen by Lin Yuan in the hillside headquarters, he couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw that the attack was so smooth, and began to think about how to deal with the snipers in the city, at this moment, Zhang Haibing suddenly came over and said: "Report to Lin Shuai, our flamethrowers have casualties." ”

Lin Yuan said: "There will definitely be deaths in the war, do you have to report such a thing to me?" ”

Zhang Haibing said: "If there are one or two deaths, I won't report it, we have dispatched a company, 120 flamethrowers, and now 16 people are killed, 67 people are injured, and if there are no body armor, the wounded will be more killed." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard this, a company, the combat attrition actually reached two-thirds of the full formation, which is very rare in Lin Yuan's command career, he picked up the radio microphone and said to the operator: "Take over the headquarters of the Seventh Division!" ”

As soon as the indicator light was turned on, Lin Yuan shouted: "Old Xiao, how did you get it?" How did the Pyro die so many people? ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Our machine guns and tank guns did not suppress the enemy's counterattack fire!" ”

Lin Yuan said in surprise: "What's the matter? How can it not be suppressed? ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "We are also investigating this!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Is it because it's too dark for our operators to see the enemy's position clearly?" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "No, the commander of the front line reported to me at the beginning of the battle: the enemy's position is very clear in the night vision equipment, and the effect of the first round of suppression is also very good. ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Investigate quickly." Lin Yuan put down the microphone and stood anxiously on the hillside, looking at the battlefield in the distance, and immediately understood the problem!

Lin Yuan saw a burning horse like a torch standing on the battlefield, dozens of meters away is his own tank and flamethrower, the distance between the tank and the horse is too close, the tank's night vision equipment is active infrared, emitting infrared rays to visit the night situation, but those burning horses are radiating high-intensity infrared rays, directly interfering with the receiver of the night vision device!

The direct consequence of this is that the image of the night vision device will appear white from time to time, which will not help the crew in the tank at all! The tank's machine gun and main gun are simply not able to aim at the defensive fire in the barracks, and such a problem, the crew of the tank will only think that it is an accidental instrument failure, and will not report it at all, so the situation is not clear to the superiors!

Lin Yuan's troops couldn't beat the Qing army, but those rejecting horses were like a beacon, illuminating the position of Lin Yuan's troops clearly, so the Qing troops in the camp could naturally shoot bullets and attack the flamethrowers, Lin Yuan thought about these clearly, grabbed the microphone, and said to Xiao Yingwu: "I understand what's going on!" The tank was too close to those burning rejections, and the flames affected the night vision devices! ”

Xiao Yingwu asked, "Then what should we do?" Let the tanks retreat? ”

Lin Yuan said: "No! Immediately notify the artillery unit, shoot high-intensity flares over the enemy's barracks, and then ask the tank crew to turn off the night vision devices and use visual observation equipment to cover the flamethrower's movements! ”

Xiao Yingwu immediately replied: "Understood! ”

Lin Yuan put down the microphone, and after a while, he saw a few points of light burst out over the Qing army barracks, and then, the snowy white light illuminated the night sky, and the military camp below was delicate, and the crew of the tank saw the situation in the barracks clearly, and the bullets shot towards the enemy's barracks like eyes, and the soldiers hidden in the darkness suddenly collapsed.

Xiao Yingwu sent a message: "Lin Shuai, we have successfully suppressed the enemy and are approaching the Qing army camp!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay! When we take the Qing army camp, we will celebrate together. ”

Xiao Yingwu smiled and said, "Okay......"

Lin Yuan was listening to Xiao Yingwu's words, only to hear Zhang Haibing suddenly say: "Lin Shuai, there is an accident!" ”
