The rumbling sound of artillery continued, and every time it hit the ground, it exploded into a black mud ball. General Dabin raised his telescope under a bush cover and carefully observed the movement on the other side.
Ever since he arrived in Matanzas yesterday, the General has felt that his opponent is very unusual.
Well..., he can plant mines to stop the enemy halfway, and then control the anti-tank missile to easily destroy the homemade armored vehicle. The most terrible thing is that he waits for the enemy to retreat before detonating the explosives he planted in advance, which wiped out half of Lord Dabin in an instant.
even.
An opponent who can bring out the best in a battle is truly extraordinary.
However, Mr. Dabin attended a military academy and was once a regular officer. Under his command, the attacked army did not collapse on the spot. Instead, it regrouped and retreated to a small town ten kilometers away from Matanzas to continue to keep an eye on the enemy's movements.
That night, General Dabin not only called for support, but even used landmines to cause the enemy who attempted a night attack to lose more than a dozen men. This achievement made the general very proud.
The battle now enters the second day. General Dabin has been harassing the enemy. He continuously throws in the cannon fodder on hand to tire the opponent, and at the same time intends to find the opponent's shortcomings.
After fighting all morning, the opponent's shortcomings were unintentionally exposed - the team occupying Matanzas was indeed small in number. However, the opponent's advantages were also revealed. The opponent was well-equipped, well-trained, tenacious, and good at using cannon fodder.
In the morning's frontline strangulation battle, Dabin lost more than thirty people, less than half of whom were killed by the opponent's sniper rifles, and the rest were killed by the opponent's 81mm mortar counterattack.
"Sir, our opponents are building fortifications. They are forcing the residents in Matanzas to work for them, and the construction speed is very fast. They may surround Matanzas with fortifications overnight." A junior officer
Report to Dabinhui.
The area of Matanzas is not large, so it does not take much effort to build fortifications. But once the fortifications are established, it will be difficult to effectively kill the opponent without large-caliber artillery.
Faced with this situation, General Dabin was very confused. He really couldn't figure out where these enemies came from, but he knew that he had to drive these people into the sea as soon as possible, otherwise the trouble would get bigger and bigger.
However, the General is not depressed because of this. He believes that he has found a solution to the problem - that is to compete with the opponent and use absolute quantity advantage to crush the opponent's slightly superior quality advantage.
"Reporting to His Excellency Governor Diego, we need more soldiers, better weapons, and stronger strikes. If we want to quickly deal with this group of people, the best way is to give them a severe blow. Once we use all our strength
If you attack, your opponent will be wiped out in minutes."
General Dabin confidently said to his adjutant, "Our overall strength far exceeds that of our opponents, so we don't need to play any tricks with our opponents. We can just push through with equal firepower."
At the other end, the advance team of the 'Aurora Legion' occupied a stone church in Matanzas as the headquarters. Several staff officers were controlling a drone, and the drone reconnaissance images were displayed at the headquarters.
on the projection screen.
Zhou Qingfeng's 'nuclear fusion battery' can easily support the operation of all the equipment of the entire headquarters, and even supplies several high-power electric heaters to keep the entire church warm. By interpreting the investigation information, the electronic map of the headquarters
Mark the troop arrangements of the enemy and ourselves.
An officer reported: "Sir Hugo, according to our current real-time reconnaissance records, the enemy is deploying more than 2,000 troops and gathering in three attack positions ten kilometers away from us. The enemy even brought tanks and
Large caliber artillery.
Moreover, we also found signs of dispatch from several small gunboats in the direction of Havana. It seems that the enemy wants to cut off our retreat at sea and completely defeat us in the city."
According to the strength comparison displayed on the electronic map, Zhou Qingfeng's side was almost in a complete decline in strength. But he was not anxious at all, and just said lightly: "What age is this? These guys are still engaging in human wave tactics."
.Let Nassau's AC-130s be dispatched, and it's time to remind the enemy who they are fighting."
At Nassau International Airport, an ac-130u gunship loaded with ammunition received an order from the tower. The power of its four engines suddenly increased and flew into the sky with a roar. The air support from the rear was what Zhou Qingfeng dared to do with a few troops.
An important basis for the fight against Cuba.
Although there is no way to keep planes flying over your head like the real US military does, Nassau is only an hour and a half flight from Matanzas at most. This kind of fire support speed is still acceptable in this era when everyone is worse.
accepted.
After receiving the mission authorization, the AC-130u crew began to contact the investigators on the Matanzas front line. Since the GPS satellites have now suffered huge losses and interference due to global nuclear explosions, its attack requires the guidance and confirmation of ground personnel.
On the front line, Nieto had just caught his breath and collapsed on the ground. He was exhausted by the enemy's sporadic attacks. All five magazines on his body were used up, but he didn't know where to replenish ammunition at this moment.
.
"You! Come with me." Sergeant Major Richard, who was directing the battle at the front line, walked down from the position with a hunched waist. His son Silva followed him on his calves, and the heavy M107A1 large-caliber sniper rifle
Other soldiers carried it for him.
Although Silva was only ten years old, he was already used to the life of killing. He looked at Nieto, who was covered in mud, and said with some disdain: "Hey! I just saw you shooting at the enemy. Your marksmanship is really good."
rotten."
Nieto did not argue. He knew that he was not really a good soldier. He could only find another topic and ask: "Where are we going?"
"My father said we should use laser irradiators to guide aircraft to attack the enemy on the opposite side," Silva said.
"Guide plane? Since there are planes coming to help us, why not attack Havana directly with planes?" Nieto asked.
"It seems that we are afraid of destroying the oil refinery in Havana. We hope to draw out the enemy's elite to fight." Silva said.
According to Zhou Qingfeng's estimate, the total number of enemies is about 60,000, but the core force will not exceed 3,000. Now the opponent has dispatched 2,000 seemingly good troops to fight him, which is in line with the purpose of giving the enemy a heavy blow.
.
This type of defensive counterattack is easy to use, but the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of money. After all, one dispatch of the ac-130u consumes more than ten or twenty tons of high-grade fuel. The "Aurora Legion" currently reserves no aviation fuel.
However, it cannot withstand heavy consumption.
But for Nieto, the feeling of air strikes is still too nihilistic. He has experienced various ground battles, but he has never seen what it feels like when an attack falls from the sky.
"How many aircraft do we have coming to support?"
"Can we defeat our opponent with just one plane?"
"No matter how powerful a plane is, it can't defeat thousands of people on the ground, right?"
