Chapter 41: The Gap
Although Qu Sen knew from the information obtained by the Blue Party before that the armored regiment had been attacked by missiles and later wades across the river when ambushed by anti-armored troops, he did not expect that the losses would be so serious. He quietly asked a staff officer who seemed to be kind: "Why are there only these troops left in the regiment?"
The staff officer who was asked was also one of the "listeners" in the command post in the morning. He was still a little impressed by Qu Sen, a soldier who was capable and had good brains.
Qu Sen asked him, but he didn't hide it, and whispered to him: "Last night, when your 16th Regiment was attacked by the Blue Side, our regiment and the 45th Regiment were also covered by the Blue Side missile force.
After the missile was captured by our radar troops and then passed the message over, although the entire regiment was evacuated urgently, it still lost almost half of its tanks.
After reassembling and transfer, they were ambushed by the Blue Anti-Armored Forces. If the regiment commander had not made a quick decision to take the risk of crossing the river, he would probably not have enough troops left in one battalion, and our logistics units were basically lost. Now the oil and ammunition supply are all problems."
"The Blue Army is so fast?" Qu Sen thought that when he saw the intelligence, he would maneuver quickly and avoid missile attacks like the heroic troops in the movie.
After being intercepted by the anti-armored troops, he made a quick decision to break through the water and leave the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the reality was such a tragic result.
"How come the Blues move so quickly?" Qu Sen asked subconsciously.
If it is attacked by missiles, the maneuver time is insufficient and the losses are heavy. But Qu Sen really can't understand how the Blue Army arranged ambush on the armored regiment retreat so quickly.
You should know that although several nearby areas were attacked by the Blue Army at that time, most of the battlefields were still fighting fiercely. Even if the Blue Army had satellite surveillance in the sky, they could send out ambush after obtaining intelligence. This was not something that could be accomplished in a short time.
The armored regiment was moving forward with wheels and tracks. Could it be that the Blue Army commander belonged to Zhuge Liang, and he could get everything early?
"Can't you be unhappy?" The staff officer said in a little resentful: "There are satellites in the sky and drones are staring at them. Of course, we can grasp our movements as soon as possible. We made a deduction afterwards. The Blue Army's anti-armored troops should be directly deployed to the designated area through helicopter troops.
No matter how much our armored vehicles are, they will still be moving in the mountains. How can they compare to those flying in the sky?"
"Oh~" Qu Sen heard the staff's words and remembered the information from the Blue Party when he saw so many powerful troops in his family, and then sighed."
For the first time, he had a feeling that no matter how hard the soldiers on his side were in training, they could not make up for the disadvantages in equipment.
"Don't sigh!" Seeing Qu Sen a little depressed, the staff patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "We still have an overwhelming advantage in the total number of troops. Although the Blue Party has a variety of troops and seems to have everything, the total number of troops is there. No matter how powerful their missiles are, they are not uncounted. As long as we withstand their next round of attacks, it will be almost time to counterattack."
When Qu Sen heard this, he felt that it was right. The exercise was not a computer game. No matter how powerful the Blue Army was, the supply of weapons and fuel was not infinite. As long as Hong could withstand the impact, the two sides entered the stage of the war of attrition, and the Red side's advantages gradually emerged.
"Report! Satellite communication equipment was seriously disturbed." Just as Qu Sen just rekindled his confidence in victory, the head of the communications team in the corner of the command suddenly stood up to report.
"Has the satellite been disturbed?" The commander of the armored regiment, who was whispering to the regiment chief of staff, asked surprisingly.
"No, it's our transceiver equipment that has been interfered with." The head of the communications team replied.
"Do you know it was caused by our equipment failure or weather, or was it caused by human interference?" the leader of the armored regiment asked again.
"I'm very sure that it was human interference." The head of the communications team replied firmly.
"Grandma, this Blue Army is really evil. Everything can be disturbed!" After muttering, the commander of the armored regiment said, his expression was somber: "Order the platoons to immediately open the gap and be ready to evacuate automatically at any time."
"Yes!" The on-duty staff officer began to convey the order after receiving the order.
———
Blue Army Operations Command.
"Hey, I found that our division commander is really awesome. He wants to dig the Red Army first and then shave his bones!" The staff officer who had complained about the fact that the May 11 was too low before muttering to another staff officer next to him.
"That's right, after all, we have insufficient troops and we have to have a choice to attack targets. In the first stage, we will first eliminate the old communications troops on the Hong side, and then attack the troops with digital equipment. After breaking up their defense lines, we will divide them and eat them a little bit.
If the radio and digital signals were interfering with each other at the beginning, wouldn’t they be alert?” another adviser said proudly.
"Reporting to the division commander, cross-comparing the information previously monitored with the satellite surface scanning results, the possible location of the Red Army command has been reduced to three." The leader of the intelligence analysis team stood up to report.
"While ordering the mountain combat brigade to launch a raid on C5 and C6 areas, it will send a radar station on the 329 high ground with the fastest speed. Order the mixed assault first regiment, and the mixed assault second regiment quickly drilled through the defensive position of the 12th Division of the Red Front in D9 area from Guanjingkou to Cao'an County." Yue Jianjun looked at the three highlighted areas marked on the electronic map in front of him and ordered in a deep voice.
After pausing for a while, he said in a slightly lower voice: "I notify the Special Operations Brigade that it's time to move. The troops will open two passages in areas C5 and D9 for them to quickly intersperse."
When the Blues launched the second wave of attacks, the Red Armored Regiment was in a dilemma like other troops that had lost contact with their superiors.
Move! You may miss the liaison officer sent by your superiors. Don’t move! If you stay in place, you may be captured by the Blue Army, you may be wiped out.
"Captain, what should we do?" A staff officer asked the commander of the armored regiment nervously.
"The terrain here is complex and has good concealment, and it is difficult for the Blue Satellite to discover us." The commander of the armored regiment said in a low voice, then raised his voice: "We don't move, wait until the communications corps brings the division headquarters back. Then send all the guards out and increase the alert distance to five kilometers."
After the armored regiment was attacked before, although various types of vehicles suffered serious losses, many individual soldiers were not judged to be "dead". After these individual soldiers were reorganized, they temporarily formed a guard force.
"Captain, I'll go too." Qu Sen is now a scattered soldier. Since he arrived at the armored regiment, he will automatically become a member of the armored regiment sequence.
He didn't know how to drive an armored vehicle, but he always felt that he should do something, so he took the initiative to ask for instructions and go to the periphery for alert.
