Chapter 571: Follow-up
Zhang Tianhai and the others returned to their resting place.
They need to make the most of their time to rest. From the time he came, Zhang Tianhai knew that this operation could not be completed only once, and there would be follow-up tasks waiting for him, so it was not the time for him to retreat, maybe the task would come to him in the next minute.
After such a long time of destruction at the airport, everyone was very tired, so they quickly chose a bed to lie down and restore their bodies.
However, one night passed, and only a few soldiers came to deliver the meal once, and everyone did not wait for the mission news.
But you're not just waiting here. Since you are on the front line, it is definitely necessary to know what the battle is like ahead.
I'm about to go to the frontline battlefield, so I can't be ignorant of the situation on the battlefield, right?
After many inquiries, everyone also got some information.
The battle had been fought all night, and it had been attacked twice, but each time it was crushed by the enemy forces in the city. Now the main forces should be organizing the third offensive.
The first two times they only entered the city, but they failed to capture a few strongholds at all, and they were not able to gain a firm foothold, and a large number of enemies came to them. Without buildings and streets to defend on, they would not be able to stand up to the flood of enemies, so they had no choice but to abandon the place they had laid and withdraw from the city.
However, after a few rounds of artillery fire, the nearby buildings, checkpoints and other places have all been bombed into ruins, even if the other side occupies them. There are no better defense facilities, and it is impossible to completely prevent the main attack of the Chinese troops, and the pace of the attack can only be delayed for a while.
In other words, it is certain that it will be possible to make a breach and let the troops behind enter the city, it is only a matter of time, and whether the city can be defeated is a question.
There is also a steady stream of troops in the rear to replenish it. There is also a large amount of material transportation. However, the rear of the other side also has logistical support. Once you enter the battle to defend the city, it is a battle of strength and attrition.
It depends on who can't afford it first, and whoever has to exit the city and give it to the other party.
It is estimated that the fighting here will continue for a long time. Casualties on both sides. It certainly won't be small.
Generally speaking. The Suya Empire is fighting on its own, and its advantage is very great, but yesterday he and Commander Zhang's troops had destroyed the military airfield that was responsible for supporting the flank. This indirectly weakens the combat effectiveness of the enemy's main forces, and who loses and who wins, it is still two words.
After waiting for three days, we still couldn't get any news about the mission.
The offensive battle lasted two days, and it was only last night that it finally broke through the enemy's defenses and entered the interior of the city.
By breaking through such a gap, the rear troops can enter the city in a steady stream and begin to spread in all directions. This gap appears, but it is not a problem of being broken. A large number of attacking troops entered the city, and immediately occupied more than a dozen streets in a row with a devastating momentum, completely opening up the situation in front of them.
The enemy also wisely retreated to the defense, abandoning the perimeter of the city and the third ring road in a company, and garrisoning the second ring road, completely losing one-fifth of the city.
In this way, the Chinese troops have a lot of places to spread out their formations, helicopters, tanks and other vehicles also have room to move, and there are also many directions that can attack. At this time, in the direction of the second ring road of the city, every building, every overpass, has become a defensive fortress, guarded everywhere, some directions are not enough, and each building is also occupied by two or three soldiers, completely blocking all the offensive routes of the Chinese troops. As long as you want to push further, you have to smash them one by one with the muzzle of the gun before you can continue to move forward.
Chinese troops have also begun to garrison and establish defensive lines. The territory that has already been reached cannot be spit out again when it dies, otherwise the things that have been done before, and so many casualties, will all be in vain.
That is, today, the air units of the rear headquarters base began to enter the war. A large number of fighters joined the battlefield, inflicting casualties on the opposing side while also covering their own bombers.
The bomber flew over the enemy's head, and the belly hatch opened, revealing aerial bombs falling from the bomber's belly as if it were raining down, towards the enemy-occupied building.
"Boom!"
The Chinese troops in the city could only hear a bang, and then they had no choice but to cover their ears.
After the first explosion, as if it could not be stopped, bombs fell on the ground and buildings one after another, and there were continuous explosions. Buildings, vehicles, vehicles, soldiers, and other objects within the bomb's range all disappeared the moment the fireball rose and were all blown to pieces.
Even the Chinese defense troops watching the play could feel the ground shaking under their feet, as if an earthquake had occurred.
All the bombs carried by the bombers were dropped during this attack, and then under the cover of the fighters, they drew a large circle in the air and returned to the base.
The bomber whose combat effectiveness was not as good as that of a reconnaissance plane after the bomb was dropped, and when it was attacked, there was no room for retaliation. In order not to become a target for the enemy, it is better to evacuate as soon as possible.
Although the military airfield on the flank has been destroyed, Lantost City itself has an airport, and it is believed that at this time, all the civil airliners in that airport have been emptied, and they must be replaced by fighters and transport planes of various types. If you don't leave, you won't have a chance to leave.
It was at this time that Zhang Tianhai and others got a new task.
The rest of the people were waiting in the tent, and Zhang Tianhai was the only one who went to confirm and receive the task. But when he returned, there was a wry smile on his face.
Seeing his expression, everyone knows that the task behind this is definitely not so easy to complete.
"I think we've fallen into a fire pit."
Zhang Tianhai continued: "The mission is out. The target of our mission is the high-ranking officers and generals of the enemy in the city of Lantost. ”
"Impossible!" Yang Hao was the first to veto: "In such a city defense battle, it is absolutely impossible for the officers of the other side to be exposed in front of us, and they will not even be inside the city, how can we find this?" ”
"That's not the most difficult question." "If we want to accomplish such a mission, we must go deep behind enemy lines. In the city now, but every building has enemies, how can we get close? ”
"Maybe as soon as we appear, we'll be beaten into a hornet's nest by indiscriminate fire from all directions." Jiawen said coldly.
Zhang Tianhai shook his head: "So, this mission is not a hard requirement. In other words, there is no limit to the time of our mission, and there is no limit to whether it can be completed, and as long as we can kill a brigade commander or above. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Tianhai also smiled bitterly: "Assassinate the brigade commander, these guys also have a big appetite." ”
"But it is impossible for us to reach the rear of the enemy." Yang Hao said: "Because there is no place to hide, Meteor and I can't choose a good sniper position." If you sneak in, the vigilance of the other party is the highest at this time, even if someone in the opponent's army can take us in, it will definitely be difficult to move an inch, and a close assassination will not work, so how should this task be completed? ”
"There's a way."
Zhang Tianhai walked over and spread out the map he was holding.
In the whole map, the city of Lantost is in the middle, there are roads extending on all sides, as well as nearby woods, villages, mountains and other terrain, all marked on the map.
Zhang Tianhai's hand pointed to one of the roads: "If the other party wants to fight a defensive war, it must need a lot of supplies." And they are defending the west, so the supply route must be this road. ”
Zhang Tianhai let go of his hand and continued: "In fact, there are already troops that have begun to advance towards the side of this road. In the next few days, they will not launch any attacks. Once the location they occupy is completely deployed, they will choose the right time to attack the opponent's logistics forces and cut off the opponent's logistics support. ”
"And our opportunities will only appear here."
Wei Gong was puzzled: "Since there are already troops deployed, then there is nothing to do with us, right?" Is it possible to compete with them for war merit? ”
"No, no, no." Zhang Tianhai shook his head: "There must be the opponent's defensive forces on this road, so the people who set off in the early stage were all scouts, who went to reconnoiter the enemy's movements, as well as the defensive troops on this road." The flaw was detected, and that was when the attacking troops in the rear departed. And our goal is not really here at all, but ......"
Zhang Tianhai's hand crossed along this road, getting farther and farther away from Lantost City.
All of them understood: "You mean, we go farther away to lay an ambush?" ”
"That's right." Zhang Tianhai said: "Just like the shadow said before, in the city, we can't have a chance, so we can only find a way outside the city." We went to a farther place and squatted, and when we reached the target, we acted, and if not, then this group of enemies was left to the troops behind to fight. ”
"As long as we can kill the target, then we can retreat. Even if this logistics force is attacked by us, it will definitely not dare to slow down, because the front line is still waiting for them. Then the ambush soldiers in the back can receive our news and kill this group of logistics troops. (To be continued......)
