Chapter 855 Battle of Death Valley (5) [two-in-one chapter]
Location: The Goyang area of Goryeo. In later generations, it was just a place name for military fans of the Rabbit family; but for many people in the John family, it was Death Valley, a place of sadness.
The fierce fighting lasted for a while and then suddenly stopped.
Under Hu Biao's greeting, King Kong took advantage of the fact that the wind in the valley had stopped and blew towards them no longer from the direction of the position.
In front of the position of the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, a guy fired several rounds of smoke grenades.
At the same time, bursts of shrill iron whistles were blown, causing everyone who was trying to think of ways to attack in front of the position to retreat one after another.
When they retreated, they did not forget to take some of their own wounded with them.
After a short time, Death Valley, which had been full of fierce battles just a minute ago, suddenly returned to a strange calm.
Even except for the faint wails of the wounded, everything could be described as dead silence.
Of course, the scene of such an evacuation did not mean that Hu Biao and the Volunteer Army were facing the tortoise shell-like defensive formation of the Royal Tank Battalion.
After trying to attack once, I saw that I couldn't defeat it, and now I have completely given up.
The plan of Hu Biao and others is just like the famous saying of an old man:
Pull your fist back first in order to punch it out more forcefully.
After seeing that the original tactics were not working, the Volunteer Army changed new tactics; before officially starting to take action, they temporarily evacuated to do some preparation work.
For example, shorten the fuse of the explosive pack by a large amount so as not to give the opponent enough time to react.
There are also a few team members such as Ashtray, Lang Qing, etc., who are hurriedly teaching ordinary soldiers how to deal with this behemoth steel behemoth.
Tell them where the relatively weak points of this tank are.
After all, even in the volunteer army, there are veterans who have fought for many years.
Their previous concept of tanks was either the little pods owned by the Japanese, or the M3 Stuart and M24 Joffre tanks shipped over by the soldiers based on the aid law.
In short,
They are all light and ultra-light tanks by Western standards; they can be said to be completely different concepts from first-generation main battle tanks like the Centurion in terms of protection and firepower.
If a group of volunteer soldiers were to deal with them the same way they used to fight tanks, they would suffer a big loss.
During this brief period when the fighting subsided, Hu Biao and Henry, the commanders of the two teams, were not idle; they just had completely different reactions and thoughts about the current situation...
"In 11 minutes, the attack on the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion will begin again. Is there anything you want to say before it starts?
Attention, the comrades on Highland 159.3 are under great pressure and may not be able to withstand it for too long; so this attack is also our last chance to attack."
Facing the twenty-some members of the team in front of him, Hu Biao said something like this.
Regarding the fact that there are currently only about twenty people attending the meeting, there is no miscalculation of the number of people.
After originally eliminating Lao Yang's five-person team and Jason's two-person team because the others had no followers to act together, the team's large force now has 44 people.
However, after the battle was temporarily over, Poluo and the others did not rush back.
Now it was very wise to continue to ambush at the other end of the valley.
They had not taken action before, but they found that there were several members of John's team and some indigenous soldiers who were defending very tightly, and the probability of success was very low.
So I could only suppress the urge to take action and continue to wait.
They were lying in wait, waiting for a good opportunity to appear, so that they could kill the last few tanks of the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion in one go and completely block them here.
There are also three people from the Paw Patrol Team, who are continuing to squat in the pit.
The main reason was that according to Hu Biao's instructions, the three of them, as a surprise force, had to hide among them until they were notified.
It should be noted that they are currently far away from the circular position of the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion.
The farthest one, the husky, was only over 70 meters away; while the closest mad dog was only over 50 meters away.
Once an attack occurs, it is quite sudden.
Hu Biao had not used them before, just to maximize the suddenness of this unexpected force; based on this consideration, they are expected to be dispatched soon.
In addition, Hanzi, Shi Polu, and Dinosaur are all being treated by Black Chinese Medicine Doctor and Lao Qi because their injuries are relatively serious.
The names of these three unlucky guys are quite clear, but in this battle, they probably won't be useful anymore.
In addition to Lang Qing and a group of others, they are now educating the volunteers on how to fight tanks; so there are only a few dozen people left in the meeting with Hu Biao.
Under Hu Biao's questioning, Yuan Sin cursed and said:
"What else is there to say? You've already made such a fool of yourself, and you're talking about nothing!
Anyway, after the war breaks out later, those miscellaneous fish in the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion will be returned to the Volunteer Army to deal with them, and the remaining grandchildren of John’s Team will be considered the opponents of our Central Continent Team.”
The voice of original sin is falling, the fellows from the northeastern region of original sin.
That is to say, a large roll of gauze was used on the head, and it was tied up like the third brother. Shi Polu, the community sir, immediately echoed strongly in his mouth:
"What the heck, Original Sin is right! No matter what happens today, we must kill those grandsons of John's team.
Either they die or they perish, there is no other possibility."
There was a hint of gritted teeth in Shi Polu's voice; the reason why he had so many reactions was not just that he had failed in the battle.
Mainly because before this annihilation battle started, everyone felt very awesome.
But now, the Volunteer Army soldiers are still needed to break the situation by rushing forward with explosive packs in their arms. Just thinking about it makes them feel extremely aggrieved.
Several more people agreed to Original Sin's proposal.
So everyone in the team reached a consensus immediately:
What the heck! There is no second or third stage to completely solve the problem of all members of John's team. They must all die in the first stage.
If you die here in Death Valley, you can't let go of anyone.
But facing this point, the translator raised a more critical question:
"Tiger, I'm thinking that if we can open a gap in the turtle shell of the Royal Tank Battalion as soon as possible after the war begins, it will not only facilitate subsequent operations, but also reduce the casualties of the volunteers.
But the key to the problem is that this turtle shell is ridiculously hard, how do you get it in?"
I have to say that the translator’s question was on point.
Immediately, Hu Biao shouted:
"Everyone should quickly think of ways to see how we can get in as quickly as possible; to be honest, if it is because of our appearance, the volunteer comrades will suffer greater casualties.
If this really happens, we won't be able to see anyone when we go back."
In response to such a problem, everyone in the meeting put forward such suggestions based on what they could do.
In just a few minutes, a brand new battle plan was formed...
****
At the same time, in the middle of the circular position of the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, everyone in the Assassin Central Continent team felt heavy because of the unfavorable progress of the war.
Now that Henry and the rest of John's team are here, they are extremely relaxed.
Naturally, they would not be so naive as to think that the Central Continent team had given up on the first phase of the mission and retreated directly after the failure of the previous attack.
It should be taking a temporary rest and adjustment before launching a more ferocious attack.
But so what? On the contrary, they hope to see this more. The Central Continent team will not retreat, but continue to fight with them.
Because in this way, they have the possibility of annihilating the Zhongzhou team in the first phase of the mission.
From the radio contact content, they already knew clearly the specific size of the support force currently attacking Highland 159.3.
Among them are a battalion of the North Amberland Fusiliers and a Belgian infantry battalion and company, a total of six to seven hundred infantry troops.
In addition, there are two howitzer battalions of the Royal 45th Field Artillery Regiment, a tank company of 12 tanks, and 23 aircraft from the soldiers' side to provide fire support for the rescue force.
Therefore, under such crazy firepower and absolutely superior military strength.
Based on the strength of the Volunteer Army on Highland 159.3, which only has over a hundred people, it is estimated that they will be completely wiped out soon.
Then, as long as they successfully wait until the support troops arrive, under the attack from both sides of the army, the hunters will become the prey, and the new Central Continent team will face a disastrous defeat at their hands, like the annihilation of the entire army.
.
After all, in the battle just now, Commander Henry had been carefully counting, and he could basically confirm that at least three members of the Central Continent team had lost their combat effectiveness during the battle.
There are also about a dozen people who have suffered injuries of varying severity, and their combat effectiveness will be affected to some extent.
In this way, the Zhongzhou Team, which only has 31 people, has already suffered more than half of its casualties. As for Team John, only two people have been killed and five injured in the battle. The situation is much better in comparison.
Therefore, if we use a famous saying from Baldhead to describe Henry's current mood, it would be:
The advantage is mine~
In short, when I thought about the fact that the Central Continent Team, which was ranked among the top three in terms of development of the Doomsday World, was actually destroyed by myself and Team John.
Just because of this, Lord Henry felt a little bit superior, and felt that he would be able to brag about his awesomeness for a long time after returning to the modern plane.
But at this moment, a series of shocking changes occurred.
Commander Henry, whose heart was originally relaxed, became hung up in great tension, and then gradually became more and more desperate...
At that time, Commander Henry was preparing to take advantage of the precious calm time to light up a high-end handmade cigar from Havana and enjoy it.
But suddenly, the battlefield, which was originally bright as day, suddenly became dark.
That was a flare that was fired into the sky every minute or so, and seemed to stop firing without warning.
Suddenly there were no new flares, and they were fired over the position.
The visibility in the valley cannot be said to be so bad that a novice can't see all of a sudden.
There was still some moonlight that illuminated such a night; it was just that the moon was not very full, and its brightness was quite limited under the thin dark clouds in the sky. In comparison, the original flare was far behind.
In a short time, the battlefield environment has become the best home ground for volunteers who are good at fighting.
In a very short time, Commander Henry reacted and yelled at the top of his lungs: "What are you doing so stupidly? Turn on all the headlights immediately."
Then he rushed to the jeep in a few steps, picked up the walkie-talkie in one hand and yelled:
"Brother Su! Major Konis, why did you stop the firing of flares? Keep firing, those volunteers have not withdrawn at all, they will definitely continue to kill them under the cover of night."
Under Henry's roar, it was mainly because this guy had realized the seriousness of the problem.
There are several people in John's team who have used night vision medicine; there are also a few people who carry German's "vampire night vision goggles".
So in total, there are about seven or eight people in Team John, who currently have night vision capabilities; but for the entire battlefield, this number of people is completely insufficient.
In his anxious heart, Henry could no longer maintain the so-called gentlemanly demeanor or aristocratic temperament.
Fortunately, his previous performance has successfully shown his value.
Such a questioning tone made Major Konis feel unhappy, but he still explained in a depressed manner:
"I'm sorry, Sergeant Henry, just now, all the last flares of our heavy tank battalion were fired; now even if we want to continue firing, there is nothing we can do."
After hearing such an explanation, Henry almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
But if you think about it a little, it is normal for such a situation to occur.
Because although a flare they fired can effectively illuminate an area of one kilometer in radius, it only lasts for one minute.
When the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion retreated all the way, in order to prevent the volunteers from launching attacks under the cover of darkness, this thing never stopped and kept hitting the sky.
Therefore, the consumption of flares is quite astonishing; being able to persist until now to burn out all the inventory is already a pretty good result.
"Okay! We still have some flares on our side, shall we launch them?"
Finally, Commander Henry said this very helplessly.
John's team also has limited space equipment, although it carries a 2-inch caliber mortar and a batch of artillery shells.
However, in the insufficient ammunition reserves, there is absolutely no relatively unsophisticated ammunition such as flares.
Therefore, Henry now has no choice but to use the few points left in his account to exchange for a batch of flares in the system mall.
Let’s use the previous witticism on the Internet in the modern dimension of China to describe it:
Such an operation will make Commander Henry's already poor system points even worse.
This is also the biggest reason why this guy didn't take immediate action when he saw the environment suddenly darkened.
Isn't that just thinking about saving a little bit, right?
In the following time, Commander Henry spent 200 points to redeem a bunch of flares, and then told a rookie who had just joined John's team last time.
Leave it in the mortar position and don't worry about anything else.
There is no need to join the battle with three other mortars, just keep firing flares.
After dealing with such a problem, Henry turned around and walked away for more than 20 meters.
When I was about to pick up the telescope and see the latest movements of my opponents outside the position, I suddenly heard a whistling sound that cut through the air.
In the state of shock, he suddenly shouted: "Artillery attack, prepare to fight~"
Then, a 107 mm caliber mortar shell flew over their heads, landed somewhere in the middle of the position, and exploded.
Almost instantly, an even bigger explosion occurred.
He didn't even react at the time, but a wave of scorching hot air came from behind, pushing Henry to stagger, and then he fell directly to the ground.
In the process of falling, the unlucky Commander Henry hit his head on the ground, a piece of an armored vehicle part that had been blown away before.
Thanks to the strengthening of the intermediate bloodline, uukanshuwww.uukanshu.com he would not have his skull broken.
But when I thought about it, only the mortar position behind me and the illuminating ammunition that I had just exchanged were wiped out by the opponent's artillery shells, so there would be such a tragic scene.
Mr. Henry, the commander of John's team, felt as sick as if he had eaten a meal.
Because he knew that the scene of this artillery shell hitting him represented the beginning of another attack by the opponent.
After some preparation, the opponent's attack must be extremely fierce; but under such huge offensive pressure, they no longer have time to exchange for a 2-inch mortar, and the relevant lighting pops up.
To put it mildly, after the last mission, in order to use 30,000 points to activate the purple scroll that can increase the maximum number of people in the team.
Henry, the commander of John's team, can no longer afford the above points.
White men! Advocates of early consumption, such a situation is normal, no need to be more surprised...
