Chapter 2047, hard power
They were ambushed by an enemy tank regiment halfway. At this moment, no matter how stupid they were, they should have realized that they were being plotted by the other side! This was simply a trap dug by the other side.
If the armed helicopter troops had not returned in time, even if they could rely on the performance of their own main battle tanks to fight to the end with fewer enemies and more enemies, they would probably have to pay a heavy price.
Subsequently, the Europa officers, who clearly realized that something was definitely going on in their rear command camp, rushed back with their tank regiments and helicopter gunships as quickly as possible.
The maneuverability of the armed helicopter far exceeded that of the tank. As soon as it picked up its speed, it easily outran the tank group and rushed back to the already messy camp.
The troops that attacked their camp apparently withdrew first after receiving the news, and have now disappeared.
In the camp, as the supreme commander of this invasion, the shocked Colonel Europa was yelling curses.
Obviously, none of them thought that while they had complete control over the entire field of vision, they would be stolen from the camp by a group of 'natives'.
Not to mention he got shot...
Fortunately, the bullet hit his leg and was not life-threatening. At most, he would be lame for a while.
After the medics helped the Europa colonel remove the bullet and treat the wound, another lieutenant colonel who accompanied the army on the expedition also returned to the camp with the tank regiment.
Several Europa officers got together and learned about the situation here.
After listening, the faces of the Europa officers became obviously gloomy, which also made them more clearly aware that the other party had already planned it.
The fifty-six main battle tanks that were ambushed in the north earlier were a bait.
While the other side released the bait, they also sent a special unit to quietly approach their command camp.
At that time, the detection equipment in the command camp were all focused on detecting the mechanized troops on the opposite side. How could they notice such an inconspicuous small unit?
After all, if your detection radar can detect even a bird flying in the sky, then the amount of information is probably enough to drive people crazy.
Therefore, unless the number of small units like this reaches a certain level, the detection radar will filter them out.
Du Yuanzhi undoubtedly considered this possibility at that time, so until they successfully blew up the equipment on the opposite side, the majority of the troops stood still.
It wasn't until they quietly touched upon the pterosaur rider in the opposite camp and successfully blew up the equipment on the opposite side that the major armies officially took action.
However, Europa's hard power is really strong enough. Even when they fell into a trap, they still wiped out all the defending ambush troops!
Judging from this record alone, the Europa side can be said to have won a big victory!
However, they obviously cannot ignore the losses at the command camp.
A large number of equipment was blown up, and the command information system in the rear camp was basically destroyed. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to a mechanized army.
In addition, the appearance of enemy invading troops also destroyed a lot of their ammunition and food resources.
As for food resources, they had brought enough food for just one month. Although part of it was damaged, they could still sustain it for a month if they controlled their food consumption.
The trouble is the ammunition.
Not the ammunition used by infantry units, but the ammunition used by armed helicopter units and tank regiments.
The most expensive among them are anti-tank missiles used by armed helicopter units.
Of those anti-tank missiles, Bedis Cuenca only equipped his twenty-four armed helicopter units with two sets.
Don't think it's a small amount. An armed helicopter can carry four quadruple missile launchers. In other words, an armed helicopter can be equipped with sixteen anti-tank missiles at one time. Twenty-four armed helicopters, that's three hundred.
Eighty-four pieces, two sets are 768 pieces!
And this anti-tank missile can basically take away one of those technologically backward tanks and vehicles with one shot.
How many tanks can a newly promoted newcomer have on one side of the border? It is no exaggeration to say that one set of anti-tank missiles can destroy the other side. Bringing a second set is just in case.
After all, you have to consider the cost of invading others, right? Anti-tank missiles are not cheap. If you bring them on an expedition, each missile will be counted as a civilization point. If you bring too many, won't you have to lose money?
In this way, under normal circumstances, if you bring two sets of anti-tank missiles, plus your own main battle tank regiment, a mechanized infantry regiment, and some support troops, this force can be used to destroy food, and you can't just close your eyes.
Hit casually?
Facts have proved that it is indeed a casual attack.
But now the problem is that their second set of anti-tank missiles is completely gone!
After the previous battle, all the anti-tank missiles equipped on the armed helicopters were used up. According to this situation, if the other side sends two or three more tank regiments over, then in the next battle, they will
It's not easy to fight.
Faced with such a situation, they now have two choices.
The first option is to take risks and continue the attack in order to expand the results.
The second option was to quit as soon as possible. Although they did not plunder any resources, the battle just now ensured their victory. They would retreat directly after seven days. At least there was no risk and no accidents would happen.
Several officers argued endlessly around this issue.
The colonel of Europa who had been shot was naturally not happy.
As the supreme commander of this army, he just goes back like this? Even if he wins, he will be disgraced. The most important thing is that, as a result, his promotion will probably be ruined.
But the other Europa officers obviously didn't care about this.
The rear command camp was attacked? More than 300 anti-tank missiles and a large number of valuable instruments and equipment were lost. No matter how they thought about it, they did not have to shoulder the blame. Instead, they hit the Europa colonel head-on on the forehead.
In comparison, they fought bravely on the front line, wiping out four enemy tank regiments, destroying twenty armed helicopters, and a series of ambush troops!
Having established their military exploits, they now prefer to retreat safely rather than take risks.
This situation obviously made the Europa colonel very angry. Although these guys in front of him are only lieutenant colonels and have lower military ranks than him, the problem is that they all have real power. For example, one of them is a tank regiment.
The head of the group...
In this way, although he was appointed as the commander of this battle, facing this group of officers with lower ranks than himself, he could only 'discuss' with them, but could not use strong 'orders'.
