A combat staff member shook Liu Quanan from his sleep on the camp bed and said, "The situation has changed!"
Liu Quanan, commander of the 29th Army Division, woke up suddenly. He had not slept all night.
From last night until now, Liu Quan'an has been awake all night. It was not until early in the morning that he finally couldn't hold on any longer and set up a camp bed in the headquarters, intending to sleep peacefully.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I lay down and closed my eyes, I was woken up by my staff officer.
Seeing the panic on the combat staff's face, Liu Quan'an knew that something big must have happened, otherwise the staff would never wake him up at this time.
He raised his head and his eyes fell on the electronic screen of the command post.
Time: 5:10 in the morning.
"Why panic!?"
Liu Quan'an had been surrounded by the dead in the southern Xinjiang battle, led his men to attack Tongdeng City, made meritorious deeds and suffered injuries, so he was considered to be battle-hardened.
What he hates most is his subordinates panicking when something happens.
As soon as his eyes widened, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on the tip of the staff officer's nose, and he swallowed hard.
"Target rerouted!"
"Change the route!?" Liu Quan'an jumped up from the camp bed and walked quickly to the big screen. The electronic screen of the command headquarters was divided into various vertical and horizontal coordinate lines, and it was covered with various signs.
Your own troop deployment, search route, encirclement path, as well as the activity trajectory and direction of movement of the special forces, etc., are all displayed on it.
Five small red triangular dots were moving on the edge of the jungle. Liu Quaanan stared at these dots. They were the targets he wanted to round up!
As long as these five points are surrounded, the 29th Division will basically win a complete victory.
In front of the five red dots, there are actually a lot of densely packed green dots, which are the 37th Regiment, the most elite one. Near the headquarters and in other areas, there are the remaining 31st Regiment and 28th Regiment scattered around.
Judging from the situation on the map, the elite troops he sent were ahead of the five squads, and there was a large gap in the defense line between the 31st and 28th regiments who were still searching in the jungle behind them.
Liu Quanan's thick eyebrows were lightly twisted together.
As if with divine help, these five special operations teams pierced the rear of the 37th Regiment like a sharp knife.
"what happened!?"
Liu Quanan was a veteran in battlefield command. He could tell at a glance that the 37th Regiment was maneuvering at high speed towards the designated interception point - a river beach near the gentle river surface of Luolong River.
Because the maneuvering speed was too fast, they had already arrived near the landing point.
The most terrible thing is that the five teams that got the intelligence box did not follow the division's combat headquarters' previous tactical guess and land at the river beach with the slowest current on the Luolong River. Instead, they landed early and headed towards a strange place.
The movement was passing through the gap between the rear of the 37th Regiment and other brother departments.
"Let the 37th Regiment return to defense immediately! There is a gap in the defense behind them!" Liu Quan'an was so angry that he scratched his head and wanted to throw his hat away. After touching it, he realized that he had put his hat beside the bed while he was sleeping just now.
"Quick! Don't they watch the tracking signal!? Everyone is running behind them!"
"They have been ordered to return to defense." The chief of staff said at the side, "But we have too many people and they are all vehicles. We are not flexible enough and it will take time."
Liu Quanan suddenly thought of a fatal question.
There is a fatal problem with the mobility of large units, that is, the flexibility is extremely poor, which is a fatal flaw compared to the small unit model. The 37th Regiment is a mechanized regiment. In order to reach the expected landing point faster, they all ride in infantry fighting vehicles.
Make large-scale detours around the dirt road at the edge of the jungle to implement the encirclement.
This is Liu Quan'an's specialty, and it is also the historical combat guide of the Z country's field troops.
This seemingly perfect combat plan turned into a dose of poison when five special operations teams abandoned their original landing points and temporarily changed their breakout direction!
On a narrow dirt road, it will definitely take no less than thirty minutes for a regiment of mechanized infantry to turn around.
Five red dots are moving towards the gap at extremely fast speeds...
"chief of staff!"
"arrive!"
"How long is the gap between our 37th Regiment and the nearest 28th Regiment behind it?! How long does it take for the 28th Regiment to reach the gap?" Liu Quanan did not panic. A veteran who is used to seeing big scenes has an extremely stable psychological quality.
"The gap between the 37th and 28th regiments is 15 kilometers." The combat staff under his command quickly calculated the distance of the gap in the encirclement circle. "If the 28th regiment immediately organizes boarding and goes there now, it will take half an hour to arrive."
Liu Quanan asked again: "How many kilometers are there left for their rendezvous point in the special operations team? How many kilometers are left to cross the gap in our defense line, and how much time will it take!?"
"It is 6 kilometers away from the assembly point and the defense gap is 5 kilometers deep. According to the individual marching speed of ordinary infantry, they have enough time to cross!"
The fastest speed for a field force soldier fully armed to advance on a mountain road can generally be completed within 25 to 28 minutes.
The chief of staff said: "No! I think they might not be able to get through."
"Let the 28th Regiment assemble and board the train immediately and move towards the gap as quickly as possible. The only way to pass must be blocked before the special operations team passes through the encirclement gap! Chief of Staff, tell me your opinion!" Liu Quanan said,
While returning to the bed, he picked up his camouflage hat and put it on his head, shouting: "Prepare the car! We will go to the 28th Regiment meeting point immediately and follow them forward! I want to personally command!"
The chief of staff, two combat staff officers, and guard soldiers followed the division commander and filed out.
"Chief of Staff, tell me your guess as to why they don't have enough time?"
The chief of staff said: "I base this on two considerations. First, they had been fleeing all night last night, and had been soaking in water for nearly two hours early this morning. They were cold, hungry, and physically exhausted; second, they had been in the water for nearly two hours early this morning.
, and the gap they have to cross now is also a jungle area, so the speed of advance will inevitably be affected, and it will not be easy even for special forces."
After jumping into the Warrior car, Liu Quan'an patted the driver on the shoulder and said, "Go to the 28th regiment!"
He turned sideways and looked at the Chief of Staff next to him, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Chief of Staff, what you said makes sense, but don't forget, these people are elites selected from the special forces of Country Z.
Not an ordinary special forces member, maybe..."
The chief of staff pursed his lips and said: "Maybe, let's try to speed up our progress. I don't believe this evil. Are these people really more powerful than chicken blood? Are they all superhumans!?"
"I hope so..." Liu Quanan looked at the receding scenery outside the window and suddenly felt emotional: "Chief of Staff, after returning from this field training, you should study special operations carefully and give me strong medicine in the reconnaissance camp.
I also want a force as fierce as these special forces that can be dragged out screaming at any time."
The Warrior vehicle carrying Liu Quan'an quickly drove away under the escort of two security vehicles. The loess was flying, and several wild cranes fluttered in the woods on the roadside.
