When Hu Biao and others were hiding in the tunnel, eating and drinking, there were probably three things happening at the same time:
The specific situations are as follows:
First, at a distance of about 5 kilometers from the 350.3 Highlands, the mechanized troops united with the Guo Army that were heading towards the Han Dynasty were still advancing.
It has now been more than 6 hours since they first set out, but they have only progressed so far.
On average, the speed is not even one kilometer per hour.
The reason for this is entirely because along the way, there was an independent tank battalion led by Bianrou and Battalion Commander Chen and others; although due to the astonishing difference in strength between the two sides, they did not choose to engage in a decisive battle with them.
But along the way, various attacks never stopped.
Often, after the mechanized troops of the soldiers have advanced a distance of two to three hundred meters, they must stop to adjust and push away obstacles on the road before they can continue.
In order to achieve this, Bianrou, Camp Commander Chen and others also paid a huge price.
Amidst the huge explosion of "Boom~", an M46 tank with thick black smoke coming from its rear was driving rapidly along the road.
Suddenly, the track on the left ran over an anti-tank mine, and was immediately enveloped in a huge ball of fire.
Then, on the track position, numerous parts flew away, and flames and thick smoke erupted from the entire tank body.
The crew members of the M46 tank were lucky not to die from such an injury; however, in order not to be burned alive, they ignored the impact of the explosion and were knocked dizzy.
The first thing he did was lift the hatch cover and get out of it, intending to stay away from such a dangerous place.
But at this moment, a burst of "ta, da, da~" heavy machine guns fired, and a unique roar sounded.
That was Feng, the firefighter who had been hiding in a bush more than 200 meters away and had been waiting for a while. He pulled the trigger of a water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun.
Immediately, a 12.7mm caliber bullet and a thick flame jet swept across, knocking all the crew members who were just about to jump out of the tank to the ground.
Although the soldiers were suddenly attacked, they responded very quickly.
Several tanks and armored vehicles simply turned their gun barrels and the muzzles of their heavy machine guns, intending to direct fire towards the position where the wind was.
But at this moment, one of the Sherman tanks suddenly turned into a ball of fire again.
It was only 50 meters away from it. After a cannonball flew out, it exploded directly.
It was also at this time that the soldiers discovered that in a natural hillside, a Centurion tank, which was heavily covered by branches, was hiding inside.
After 2 minutes, the fighting here stopped.
Fireman Brother Feng, along with the Maxim heavy machine gun he operated, were blown to pieces.
The Centurion tank was also bombarded by a Skyraider attack plane. It rolled over and burst into flames. None of the crew members inside ran out.
But the soldiers who saw such a scene had no other choice but fear and helplessness in their hearts.
Because there were three more tanks on the road, the remains of two armored vehicles, and the bodies of more than twenty soldiers.
The key is that they don't know how many times they will encounter such attacks along the way, how many people will die, and how many equipment will be destroyed before they can reach Han* City...
*******
Second, at the foot of Hill 350.3, the starting position of the attacker.
With only one arm left, Lawton's face was still full of fatigue, but he seemed to be in slightly better spirits than everyone else in Zhongzhou and Maozi's teams.
This second leader of the Nordic team brings with him the last dozen or so mobile combatants in the Nordic battle.
Their figures appeared in the sequence of the first cavalry division and this offensive force.
Originally, according to their plan, they needed to consume the people on the position even more before joining the attack sequence to make the battle more certain.
However, after such a nonsense incident with the Dragon Shield Infantry Regiment, they changed their plans.
I was worried that if time dragged on like this, more nonsense would happen; so after being a little unable to sit still, I started the current action...
Third, it is located 2 kilometers away from the 350.3 Highlands.
Ma An, who was camouflaged with branches and other things on his head and behind his back, was lying on his back in the grass, holding a pair of binoculars in his hand and looking at the battlefield in the distance.
Behind him, a group of zy army soldiers were dressed in the same style.
In fact, a group of them arrived here two hours ago, around midnight on the 16th.
However, because Ma An also discovered the 350.3 highland, the ongoing battle at that time was a bit strange, but Chief Hu and the others should not be in any danger.
They simply laid an ambush here and did not act rashly.
There are two main reasons for doing this.
On the one hand, after a forced march all the way, although they seemed to have arrived here in time, the soldiers were already extremely tired mentally and physically.
It was necessary to quickly drink mountain spring water, eat some fried noodles and take a rest, so that the soldiers could relax a little.
On the other hand, Ma An discovered that his opponent's power on this small battlefield was simply too strong.
In order to eliminate Chief Hu and seize the strategic point of 350.3 Heights, the combined Guo army must have at least several thousand ground troops, right?
It is still a powerful force with a large number of aircraft, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment.
That is to say, when attacking Highland 350.3, the number of troops that can be invested at one time is quite limited, otherwise I believe that Chief Hu and others will not be able to defend it long ago.
Then the problem came, they only had a few people in total, and the number and strength of their opponents were staggering.
If they rushed out rashly, even if their opponents did not expect that there would be reinforcements, they would come to rescue the people on Highland 350.3.
But the only possibility after they rushed out was that they were easily crushed to death by those tanks and armored vehicles on the way, without any chance to rush forward.
Therefore, Ma An obviously wanted to appear in front of Chief Hu as soon as possible.
But the reason in his heart told him that rushing out like this would have no other effect besides increasing casualties.
So he could only forcefully suppress the impulse in his heart and continue to lurk and wait.
What are you waiting for? Of course, some opportunities to take action, or other opportunities.
Ma An didn't have to wait long for such a turning point to appear; suddenly, a sentry who was on alert crawled over to him.
With a look of excitement on his face, he reported to him in a low voice:
"Deputy Battalion Commander Ma, we met two comrades from other troops."
Upon hearing this, Ma An, who was alone because some people were alone, immediately became very excited and followed the sentry to retreat into the woods behind.
Soon after, Ma An strongly suppressed the excitement in his heart and shouted in a low voice:
"Slug, Cornboy, you two actually brought someone here."
The nickname that used to be sinful was now called out in front of his soldiers. The child soldiers who were now at least a company commander suddenly had black lines on their faces.
One of the handsome guys, who was called Slug, even cursed:
"Da Mahou, why are you still talking about these useless things now? Tell me quickly, how is the situation over there with Chief Hu, and what can we do?"
After hearing such a statement, Ma An immediately became serious.
In the following time, he introduced the actual situation here to these former partners, and the three of them began to discuss.
After some statistics, the troops led by the three of them totaled more than two hundred people.
Slightly decent equipment, including two 60mm mortars, a 10-tube 107mm rocket launcher, and three Type 69-imitation rocket launchers.
Based on these equipment, they began to prepare.
At 6 o'clock, almost two kilometers away from them, more than a hundred volunteer soldiers were making almost the same preparations.
A little further away, many panting small troops were approaching...
