The DX expedition bases scattered in the wilderness outside Los Angeles are like tempting pastries placed in the arms of delicate and lovely girls. They look so tempting and have little ability to resist.
At least in Edward's eyes, he can now be called an armored infantry company that is not full. There is absolutely no shortage of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. What is missing is just soldiers for combat, but this is not a big problem.
Two T72 main battle tanks drove ahead first, followed by a military off-road vehicle and four armed pickup trucks more than ten meters away, and at the last seven or eight meters away, two "Weasel" infantry fighting vehicles pressed the formation.
, the slender 20mm machine gun barrel was pointed outside, as if facing a formidable enemy.
This is not a careful warning, but a real feeling of facing a powerful enemy, because even a random light machine gun can cause extremely huge damage to the entire marching team.
Although it is an armored infantry company, the number of soldiers is not full, so Edward has not further exchanged it for armored transport vehicles. Even ordinary trucks have not been exchanged because the target is too large and the defense is weak.
However, two T72 main battle tanks, two "Weasel" infantry fighting vehicles, four armed pickup trucks and the military off-road vehicle that Edward sat in can barely hold more than a hundred people, but you can tell by looking at the crowded appearance.
In fact, the soldiers were not feeling well.
"The armed pickup truck goes to explore the road ahead. I'll just have two infantry fighting vehicles guarding it."
Watching the T72 main battle tank rolling over the ground in front, leaving two deep marks, Edward frowned slightly, pressed the intercom and said to the armed pickup trucks on both sides: "Try to spread out for reconnaissance, and do not start a firefight when encountering the enemy!"
"Understood!" The rangers on the four armed pickup trucks nodded, immediately stepped on the accelerator, and rushed forward. Although the defense and attack capabilities could no longer keep up with tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, their efficient maneuverability could still surpass them.
A very big one.
Watching the armed pickup trucks scatter away, Edward felt a little relieved. With these four armed pickup trucks exploring the road, he could be prepared even if he discovered the enemy. No matter how urgent the attack was, at least the soldiers could be prepared.
Shooting position, calmly face the attack and effectively defend.
"Just let those armed pickup trucks leave?"
Jessica frowned slightly. She obviously didn't like things that were only used by third countries. Although her maneuverability was very good, in the face of the enemy's superior strength and technology, how could such poor defense and attack be enough?
What's the deal?
The suspended armor in the DX Expeditionary Force has four heavy machine guns. With that powerful firepower, even the fuel tank hidden in the body will be directly exploded. After all, if we really talk about armor, the thickness of the armor of an armed pickup truck...
In fact, it’s only three millimeters…
"At least it can help us detect the enemy."
Edward shook his head and twisted his butt slightly to make himself more comfortable in the passenger seat. He put his legs on the windshield in front and turned to Jessica very relaxedly: "Really
The only ones fighting are tanks and infantry fighting vehicles."
Whether it is a 125mm smoothbore cannon or a 20mm machine gun, they are the main force to attack the enemy. Especially the T72 main battle tank's armor thickness of hundreds of millimeters will be able to enter the enemy for bloody massacre.
Nowadays, even if he encounters the squadron-level DX expeditionary force, if there is no particularly effective anti-armor means, it will be a free point for Edward. He can easily take it with a wave of his hand, and the casualties will not even exceed ten people.
"Sir, we found a river ahead!"
The walkie-talkie made a hissing sound. Kratos, who was in the co-pilot of the combat-armed pickup truck, pressed the walkie-talkie and frowned tightly at the river in front of him. It was more than ten meters wide and was not a big river, but it blocked their way forward.
Edward opened the briefcase on the side, found a small map and looked at it in his hand, then frowned and looked in another direction. There were mountains more than ten kilometers away, like an oolong quietly entwining itself.
On the earth.
"Go over and have a look!"
Edward said to the ranger driving the vehicle next to him, then leaned out half of the body in the military off-road vehicle, looked at the river seven or eight hundred meters away in front of him with a telescope, waved his hand behind him and said loudly: "Infantry battle
Vehicles and tanks remain on alert."
The "Weasel" infantry fighting vehicle and T72 main battle tank are light and medium-sized armed vehicles, but they weigh dozens of tons. For the soft river banks, it is best to avoid them. If they get stuck,
It was really too late to cry.
Although the engine of the infantry fighting vehicle has a waterproof function, or all modern armored combat vehicles have this function, the "Weasel" infantry fighting vehicle and the T72 main battle tank are not amphibious vehicles after all. Being waterproof does not mean that
Avoid water.
There are always gaps left in the engine, and a large amount of river water will enter and suffocate it, and it cannot be restarted because of the water. The best result is to drag it out to dry and then restart it. If not, I am afraid that it will be abandoned directly.
.
"Sir, do we need to go to that mountain range?"
Several Marines on the armed pickup truck jumped down and walked to the bank of the river with the G3-A4 assault rifles in their hands. They turned to Edward who was walking over and said: "The soil on both sides of the river is very wet, and tanks cannot approach!"
Edward walked over and looked at both sides of the river. The soles of his feet felt really soft, and as soon as the combat boots left the footprints, a slight water stain appeared inside. It was obvious that the river had soaked the surrounding soil.
"It's very soft. We can't cross this river without the assistance of engineers and bridge trucks."
Kratos also walked over, put down the M16-A2 assault rifle he had just changed, grabbed a handful of soil, and squeezed it hard. A lot of water flowed out from between his fingers, which was obviously rich in moisture.
The AKS-74u submachine gun has been equipped to Levski and the others. As mortar operators, the AK-M assault rifle that was previously replaced should obviously be abandoned. The more advanced and superior AKS-74u submachine gun is obviously more suitable for these arms.
"Let me look in front!"
After finishing speaking, a Marine took a few steps forward, but the height of his feet, which was only less than three meters, almost sunk in. Thanks to the scientific design of the combat boots, he cursed secretly and pulled them out gently before slowly stepping back.
, exit with the cooperation of teammates around you.
"Even armed pickup trucks can't get close!" The Marine soldier sat on the ground, cleaning the mud off his feet with a dagger, and frowned and said to Edward: "But I think it will have no effect on the enemy's suspended armor.
"
This river has been flowing in this wilderness for thousands of years. The river water has already penetrated into the surrounding soil. Even the weight of the human body cannot bear it. A tank of dozens of tons would probably fall into it.
The water poured in from the river shut down the engine and it could no longer move.
"When we leave here, it seems that the scope of our activities needs to take into account the factors of these rivers."
Edward frowned slightly, took a look at the map, turned to Kratos and said: "The river limits our armored forces. We'd better choose the intersection of the plains and mountains."
Although the armored forces have strong combat effectiveness, they also have many restrictions on the terrain, especially maps full of swamps and river networks. They are basically unable to conduct combat because their large and heavy size limits the performance of armored vehicles.
"Let's go, get out of here!"
Seeing the soldiers gathering on one side of the river, Jessica shook her head slightly. Although the previous army was a small light infantry unit, it could ignore this kind of river, but now that it has become a powerful armored infantry company, it cannot conquer this river.
small river.
Edward nodded and looked at the map in his hand. Another base of the DX Expeditionary Force was marked on it. It was located on the edge of the mountain in the upper reaches of the river. Although no one had ever explored it, there was a high chance that it existed.
"The whole army continues to advance!"
Speaking loudly, Edward turned around and got on the military off-road vehicle. The soldiers around him also returned to the four armed pickup trucks. The T72 main battle tank and "Weasel" infantry fighting vehicle 700 meters away also slowly started.
Keep up with Edward.
As the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles came over, the four armed pickup trucks immediately increased their power and rushed to the front. They spread out to conduct a reconnaissance mission to the front, but the movements were much smaller. After all, if they advanced a few kilometers, it would be the DX expedition.
The location of the military base.
"Enemy found! DX Expeditionary Force Patrol Team!"
Suddenly, the armed pickup truck at the front suddenly shouted on the intercom, followed by a burst of gunfire sounds inside, including not only the sound of the G3-A4 assault rifle, but also the roar of the "M2HB" 12.7mm Browning heavy machine gun.
"Crush them!" Edward raised his eyebrows slightly. Now he has formed an armored infantry company. Although it is not fully staffed, its combat capabilities are still strong. With just a small DX Expeditionary Force patrol team, it really can't
Put it in his eyes!
The T72 main battle tank immediately moved the turret slightly. The range of the 125mm smoothbore gun can reach more than two thousand meters. Although the truly accurate range is within one thousand meters, if the shooting range is good, it will still have good accuracy.
"Fire close to the effective range!"
Watching the T72 main battle tank's turret rotate, obviously wanting to shoot directly, Edward pressed the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and immediately denied: "Don't waste the shells!"
A shell worth hundreds of points cannot be wasted casually. As long as two shells miss, it will be a thousand points, and even the points cannot be recovered. For the current Edward, this is still a waste.
Behavior.
All the soldiers jumped off the vehicles, picked up their rifles, and walked slowly under the cover of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. The infantry-tank coordination tactics had been practiced almost since they were basic infantry. As elites, they implemented them
It is even more standard and effective. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
