Chapter 1565 Ambush
depressed!
Rom stared at the trembling prisoners in front of him, and was so angry that he was about to go crazy. Not to mention the gasoline and bombs consumed by the dozens of aircraft supported by the Air Force, not to mention the thousands of shells fired by the independent artillery regiment. The three main armored battalions would also consume fuel when they ran out for a round, but the result was...
When the enemy retreated on his own initiative, he left a few rogue soldiers who were unable to escape and were caught back. Rom saw these enemy soldiers crying and sad on the side of a road. Seeing their dusty and tears and wrinkled military uniforms, he thought he had suffered a lot.
"Tell me, what orders have your officers issued?" Rom, angry, interrogated, personally questioned with evil spirits. This trial revealed that the six enemy divisions on the front line had reached a certain tacit understanding, that is, they would retreat when they encountered attacks from the Aurora Legion and refused to fight tough battles.
"The mixed-in-one First Division and the independent First Division were crippled. The officers who lost their troops immediately lost their power and were completely marginalized."
"The previous Merida siege was too bad. Especially the retreated first division, with more than 8,000 people in the division, less than 1,000 people alive, and all the wounded soldiers were abandoned. Several of our later divisions were frightened by this tragic situation."
"The six divisions that came from Campeche were originally stationed in Mexico City, and they were all elite troops under Boss Suzano. However, several division commanders did not want to destroy all the troops, and now no one wants to fight."
"We have received orders from our superiors long ago, and we should withdraw when we encounter an attack. The most important thing is to save our lives."
The captive's confession was in front of him, and such an opponent made the senior officers of the Aurora Legion such as Rom and laughed. However, the six enemy divisions did not leave, so the pressure was still great. The legion could not show weakness, after all, the enemy just didn't want to lose too much, not that he didn't want to fight.
"Sir Rom, what should we do next?" asked several staff officers.
"What else can we do?" Rom followed Zhou Qingfeng for more than two years, and the rabbit had to grow fangs. He said with a bit of ruthless expression: "The more we don't want to fight, the more we want to fight. The more ruthless we are, the less afraid of death, the more afraid our opponents are."
"But..." Some staff officers expressed concern, "Sir, we have too few troops. The entire regiment has 5,000 people, and the front-line combat troops are less than 3,000. Moreover, there are only more than 100 tanks, and the performance is still very different. If the enemy is forced to get angry, how can this level 8 car beat a level 10 car?"
Yes, this is a real problem.
It is a good thing to dare to fight and fight, but the equipment disadvantages cannot be ignored. The performance of the enemy's m60a3 is far superior to that of Lao Wujiu in all aspects. If you face it head-on, then wait for it to be massacred.
"Maybe we can take the initiative to attack and lure the enemy into our trap." A staff officer thought about it, "Our advantage is that the entire regiment is completely mechanized and has strong mobility. The enemy's tanks are scattered in six divisions. If we only catch one division and beat them, the winning rate will be very high."
There is no possibility of no loss when fighting. If a mechanized strengthening regiment is used to deal with the enemy and a motorized infantry division, it is still possible to win. But how to play is a problem.
The staff's proposal made Rom think deeply. His eyes looked at the electronic map repeatedly, and finally ordered the staff to form a combat plan according to this idea and send it back to the General Staff to seek the opinions of a higher-level commander.
Qin Weidong had no objection to this. After Zhou Qingfeng learned about it, he waved his hand and asked the "Kirov" airship to gather together and immediately transported the three armored battalions of the First Guards Regiment of the Front Line, especially transporting the tanks first to strengthen the armored power in Rom's hands.
"Concentrate the armored battalion and use it, and choose the target as the enemy's independent third division. Find a way to pull it out of the enemy's six divisions' fronts, and we set a trap for him and fight it well."
Just as Rom was determined to give the enemy a ruthless move, Suzano on the opposite side was also forcing his troops to push forward. He stayed in the division headquarters of the Independent Third Division, staring at the senior officers of the division, ordering forward attacks.
With the boss staring around, the Independent Third Division could not be lazy. The entire division could only attack forward. However, the third division was moving forward, and no one was in charge of the other divisions. It was obvious that one division formed a protruding part on the front line.
Soon, Suzano, who was in charge of the division headquarters, received a report sent back by an armored reconnaissance company, saying that a small group of enemy mobile troops were found on the flank of the Third Division, accompanied by enemy artillery bombardment.
This seemed to be very similar to the previous one, with shelling and armored impact. The commander of the Third Division asked about the number of enemies coming. When he learned that there was only one tank platoon, he immediately felt a little confident.
The Yucatan Peninsula is flat, so it is a bit difficult to set up an ambush. Armored troops can attack back and forth, and there are roads everywhere. Thinking that the number of enemies is not large and that our side has an absolute advantage in military strength, the Third Division immediately launched a counterattack.
In the open wilderness, three m60a3 tanks were connected to the command to start turning. The armored vehicles of dozens of tons ran through the weeds and gravel and began to accelerate their sprint. Behind them were two infantry battalions in armored vehicles, and behind them there was a howitzer battalion that had stopped on the spot to open fire.
"It seems that this third division of the direct line has some ability." Through the drone's reconnaissance, Rom could see the enemy's formation in his command vehicle. However, the drone was shot down by the enemy's air defense firepower within five minutes after flying over.
On Suzano's side, an Avenger's air defense combat vehicle had just shot down a drone that was being observed by the artillery on the opposite side. The medium-sized drone broke into pieces in the air and fell to the ground with a string of black smoke.
Suzano could see the slipping smoke trail seven or eight kilometers away. He was quite satisfied with it. At the same time, he asked the staff officer of the division headquarters: "How is the front line?"
"Our tank column is pursuing, and the enemy's harassing troops have been destroyed by us. The division headquarters is commanding the follow-up troops to expand the attack front and decide to completely eat this small group of enemy troops."
Hearing that the results of the battle were good, Suzano laughed happily. He smiled a little harshly and scolded the commander of the Third Division under his command, "Isn't the battle in front of him very simple? It's not difficult. These bastards are just not honest and have to take charge of me before they can fight hard."
The staff of the division headquarters naturally praised Suzano for his good leadership and strong command, and all the credits were the boss. However, after just a while of praise, several dazzling meteors suddenly appeared in the sky.
The meteor landed in an instant, and the smoke columns of flying clouds exploded. The place where it landed was really the Third Division headquarters with radio wires on it. This explosion was like a blow-up, and the people in the division headquarters would die if they were not dead.
