Jonathan didn't have any good ideas for the tortoise tactics that the Aurora Legion was advancing step by step. The enemy neither attacked with maneuver nor resorted to deceit, but simply kept repairing fortifications like an old farmer.
And this is not just ordinary cultivation, but a major and special cultivation.
More than a dozen semi-permanent fortifications were built outside the city of Tula, and the amount of cement and steel consumed was simply a luxury in Jonathan's opinion. Moreover, the legion had to deliver food, water, and electricity to the troops stationed in the field. This cost was staggering.
But that's what the Aurora Legion did...
What does this make Jonathan think after leaving the camp without even a hot meal? You know, it is difficult for him to drink water. Now he is short of everything, and he has to use water purification tablets sparingly. The water source in the wild is not clean, so add purification pills.
The taste after the water pill makes drinking it every day really painful.
Just for the sake of the unification of the Mexican people, Jonathan decided to endure it...
He tried to leave the road and bypass the city fortress under construction, and went directly to Mexico City to cause trouble, hoping to disrupt the Aurora Legion's expensive and extremely clumsy advancement plan. However, he quickly gave up this plan after tentatively advancing 20 kilometers.
Stupid idea.
Going around the city means being off the road. The poor road conditions make it impossible for off-road vehicles to do anything. Targets that are too large can easily attract the attention of drones, so they must move forward on foot. However, this makes it impossible to carry enough supplies, which greatly limits the movement of the team.
distance and speed.
The Aurora Legion not only turns big cities into fortresses, but also does the same in many villages - the combined steel bunkers should not be too simple, and can be mass-produced by any machinery factory. As for the steel itself, is that still a thing?
The arc-shaped bunker is low in appearance, and a machine gun mounted on it is enough to control an intersection. With solar batteries and a few night vision devices, a 24-hour stronghold is completed.
When Jonathan encountered this thing, he was stunned.
The key is that these things don't cost much, so Zhou Qingfeng scattered more than a thousand in the northern area of Mexico City.
This thing was like a mushroom growing in the ground, everywhere overnight. It made it difficult for Jonathan to find water to drink when he tried to penetrate behind enemy lines, let alone completely break away from logistics and walk more than 100 kilometers to attack Mexico City.
Doing this is just seeking death, withdraw.
After giving up the idea of taking a detour, Jonathan could only go back and see if he could deal with the fortress-like city. The completed city of Tula was hopeless, but the city of San Juan, which was under construction, seemed to have some opportunities.
The two off-road vehicles driven by Jonathan carried a lightweight 60 mortar. He tentatively conducted probabilistic bombardment at the maximum range of five kilometers, and fired five rounds at a semi-permanent fortification outside San Juan City.
Fire cannonballs.
Jonathan knew that the maximum monitoring distance of his enemy's small drone was five kilometers, and it would be difficult to control it if it was too far away. After the bombs were fired, he immediately retreated two kilometers and expected to watch a good show.
When Jonathan thought about it, the enemies hiding in the fortifications would definitely be angry and come out after being hit by the shells. They would definitely try to clear out the external attackers. As long as the enemies came out, the explosives Jonathan planted on the roadside could give them a surprise.
At the beginning, the experienced Jonathan was still very confident.
But after waiting for half an hour, only a few drones flying around like headless flies came out to investigate what happened? And half an hour later, the heavy artillery position behind the enemy's fortifications began to show its power, and more than a hundred artillery shells were fired randomly.
Suddenly, bombs exploded everywhere.
A shell exploded about 300 meters away from Jonathan. The 50 meters around the impact point were completely barren, frightening the hearts of several members of his team.
After about ten minutes of shelling, a disgraced Jonathan yelled: "What are these bastards doing? This is just random shooting without any target. They don't cherish the precious shells at all."
That's right, Zhou Qingfeng's troops don't cherish weapons and ammunition at all. Even the officers publicly stated, 'If a problem can be solved with ammunition, don't easily solve it with human life. We have plenty of artillery shells.'
This trend has even infected the current Mexican government's military. Except for drones and artillery shells, the shy and reckless enemy that Jonathan imagined did not appear at all. After the shelling, the construction site opposite continued to work as if nothing was happening.
The commander at the construction site had no intention of retaliating. At most, he sent about a battalion of troops forward two to three kilometers as an advance point, and used this advance point to expand the drone's warning range by two to three kilometers.
kilometer.
"Boss Jonathan, what should we do?" the Mexican guide in the team asked.
Jonathan hid behind a pile of rocks and held up a telescope. There were about three hundred enemies who came forward. Their heavy weapons were machine guns and mortars. They came out in more than twenty trucks and quickly built a steel bunker beside the road.
"Damn, it's such a small bunker again." Jonathan would scold when he saw this kind of metal structure bunker. This kind of field fortification is small in size and easy to assemble. A few steel plates can quickly surround a layer, half the speed.
It was done in an hour.
But it is very troublesome to kill this kind of bunker. The rocket launcher can only penetrate the hole at most, and the large-caliber heavy machine gun cannot penetrate it. Even the mortar cannot blast it. You must aim directly at the artillery to deal with it. This is not a
It can be dealt with by a mobile team behind enemy lines.
A battalion of enemies built a group of bunkers on both sides of the road. Jonathan watched helplessly as the enemy continued to use trucks to transport semi-finished steel plates from behind. He simply dug a deep pit, buried the metal foundation, and connected the surface structure with bolts.
Just two clicks and it's done.
This is so disgusting.
We are just a few people. As for mobilizing so many troops, spending so much money, consuming so many resources, and taking so long to repair fortifications?
There is no way to start with this mouse dragging the turtle!
"Withdraw." Jonathan was about to look up to the sky and sigh, and could only order helplessly.
The guide also saw the scene of frantic building of the bunker through the telescope. When Jonathan said to retreat, he quickly suggested: "Boss, why don't we shoot the remaining shells over before we leave? Maybe we can kill a few more."
The guide was a local Mexican tycoon who escaped after being suppressed by the Aurora Legion. He hated the Legion more deeply than anyone else in the team. There were still a dozen 60 mortar shells on the off-road vehicle, and he wanted to leave before he left.
We also have to blow up a few soldiers from the bunker-building corps.
But Jonathan categorically rejected this brainless approach, "We are special operations behind enemy lines and cannot go head-to-head with the regular army. If our position is discovered, do you think the enemy's heavy artillery really can't kill us?"
"Boss, what should we do? Are we just going to watch the monkeys of the Aurora Legion build fortifications all the way to our door?" The guide was even more unwilling to do so.
Build fortifications all the way to your doorstep?
Jonathan felt scared just thinking about it. If the Aurora Legion really wanted to do this, it would be a big trouble.
"No, I won't let these monkeys take it easy." Jonathan said fiercely, "Just because we can't deal with them doesn't mean there are no other ways to deal with them."
