Chapter 652 Encirclement and Annihilation of the Third Army Corps IV
The sunshine in the Gobi Desert in summer is very long, but the soldiers only slept for five hours and set off on their way when the sky turned slightly white. Breakfast was eaten on the road and there were various military ration packs. They could choose what they liked.
Taste, eat while traveling without fear of eating raw food because you can't catch fire.
The only thing that troubled the soldiers was the lack of drinking water. Although they each brought four bottles of water before setting off, the water consumption was very large in the scorching Gobi Desert. After two days of marching, they arrived.
This morning, they had no water to drink, so the soldiers eating breakfast could only use their chapped lips to slowly bite their breakfast and chew it hard. Fortunately, the Chinese Imperial Army had many types of rations, because
Too thirsty, the soldiers did not eat compressed biscuits without water. Instead, most of them chose rice set meals and canned fruits. Some even ate some sour plums to increase saliva secretion.
The mountain roads are difficult to travel, and most of them go up and down the mountain. Even if the troops advanced at full speed, they only advanced 15 kilometers in two hours. The progress of the troops led by Liang Yichao was not much different. Even if they could reach the battlefield today, they would still have to reach the battlefield in the evening.
It's time.
The defense forces of the two armies divided their forces as quickly as possible to surround them, intending to deal with the Third Army once and for all. In the direction of the Seventh Army, Brigadier General Baden's troops also encountered a battle for the first time. After two days,
Afterwards, relying on their large numbers, the Boston Army cut down a large number of trees to pave roads, and finally crossed the Etosha Salt Marsh.
After walking through the Etosha Salt Marsh, Lieutenant General McClain breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to encounter such terrain less often. He would rather walk through the rain forest than enter such a salt marsh again.
What Lieutenant General McClain did not expect was that the road ahead would not be smooth sailing. After re-entering the rainforest, they encountered the sniper unit of the 915th Infantry Brigade. In the configuration of the Chinese Imperial Defense Force, each regiment has one hundred people.
The configuration of the sniper brigade, each army has a special forces brigade configuration of more than 100 people.
Although the 915th Infantry Brigade does not have special forces, it does have three sniper brigades that graduated from professional sniper schools. After being equipped with jungle camouflage suits and the Sniper God 1 system, they quickly disappeared into the dense virgin rainforest.
There was a "pop" of gunfire, and this was already the seventh person who died in the vanguard. The sudden sound of gunfire caused confusion among the Bostonians, and the sniper who fired had already disappeared.
With the help of the full-body digital camouflage suit and the special camouflage suit, he quickly escaped into the distance.
"Asshole, Charles is dead. This is the seventh person under my command who has been killed by a sneak attack, and every one of them is an officer." The leader of the vanguard shouted cursingly. At this time, he was already extremely angry. If he was upright,
He was not angry at being beaten to death. After all, every soldier was mentally prepared to be shot to death from the moment he put on his military uniform. But to die in such a despicable sneak attack made him think it was a great shame and humiliation.
The regiment leader walked to the front of the team with a red face and shouted: "Everyone keep some distance and search forward. If you encounter a stranger, don't ask questions, just shoot." Now he was extremely angry and decided to fight back.
, but before he finished speaking, a bullet flying at subsonic speed accurately hit his forehead. In everyone's shocked eyes, the head of the regiment leader exploded into a ball of blood mist.
"This guy is a colonel, but it's a pity that you are my favorite." Chen Wei smiled and put away his sniper rifle, and fled into the distance with his companion Chu Ying.
"Captain Bill was killed." A staff officer panted and ran to Lieutenant General McClain and reported to him.
"What? These Chinese people are so arrogant that they actually beat one of my regiment leaders." McClain waved his arms angrily and roared, but he calmed down in an instant. After carefully analyzing the situation, he found that the one who was killed
They are all officers.
With a roll of his eyes, Lieutenant General McClain had an idea: "Order all officers and soldiers to take off their shoulder insignias and collar insignias. Subordinates are not allowed to salute when they meet their superiors. Officers try to stay among the crowd. Send out a search team and spread out within a kilometer along both wings of the troops."
Search forward and if you encounter strangers, shoot immediately."
After all, Lieutenant General McClain was well-informed. He quickly thought of the key and therefore took quite effective countermeasures. However, those snipers were not something ordinary soldiers could deal with. Although the death rate of officers was much lower, the search team's
The casualties were not small.
"These guys have learned a lot." Chu Ying killed one of the search team soldiers and took back his rifle. The sniper team is always a team of two. They are all very good snipers, usually one person.
Attack, and another person covers and prepares for follow-up fire. This configuration is quite reasonable, which makes the casualty rate of the sniper team very low, and also reduces the casualties of the sniper.
"Don't worry, they need to travel through the rainforest for at least five or six days to reach Windhoek. We still have time. It's already afternoon. Let's go farther away to rest and come back to them in the evening."
Chen Wei smiled and made suggestions.
Chu Ying nodded: "Okay, let them rest for a while, and wait until night to make them look good."
Chen Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, they can't rest. At least I know that Lao Chen's group won't rest now."
The two of them marched briskly towards the south. Relying on their excellent physical fitness and two hours of rapid march, the two of them had reached a place thirty kilometers away in front of the Seventh Army. At the slow marching speed of the Boston troops who were searching and advancing.
, it was probably already dark when we arrived here.
"Let's relax first. We are still busy at night." The two of them stopped by a lake in the rain forest. Chu Ying took out the alcohol stove and boiled a pot of water. After the two of them replenished enough fresh water, Chu Ying snuggled in
I wanted to take a nap on the big tree.
"How come you can sleep anywhere?" Chen Wei complained.
Chu Ying closed her eyes and leaned against the big tree and said: "I know you can't sleep, so I can sleep peacefully for a while with you standing guard. Be careful when you move at night, your eyelids will twitch."
"I'm very energetic when I fight, so I won't feel sleepy. Just go to sleep and I'll find some delicious food." Chen Wei ignored him. He felt that he was keeping a lookout for his companions and getting some fresh food at the same time. After all,
Everyone will get tired of eating canned and compressed biscuits all the time.
"Okay, it's best to get a few fish, then it will be perfect." Chu Ying still didn't open her eyes, and after answering a sentence, she fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Wei scratched his head and said: "Fishing? This is a bit difficult, but there is still a way."
Looking at the surrounding terrain, Chen Wei climbed up a big tree, perhaps to compete for sunlight. The tree grew diagonally toward the lake. A thick branch had already stretched several meters into the lake, from the water surface.
It was only over one meter high, making it an ideal fishing spot. Without a fishing rod in hand, Chen Wei searched for available things. As a sniper, he had gone through the most rigorous field survival training, and he was still very good at using local materials.
Someone with skills.
Looking around, Chen Wei pulled down a vine from the tree that was as thick as his thumb and was five or six meters long. After trying it, the vine was very strong. Chen Wei nodded with satisfaction and took off his pants.
Come down, pass the vine through the nose of the trousers, make a circle, then extend three vines from the vine, and tie a knot at the top of the trousers.
This knot extended a long vine, and Chen Wei held it in his hand. Then Chen Wei tied the two trouser legs into knots, and filled the bottom of the trouser legs and pockets with sand to prevent the trousers from floating on the water.
After all these preparations, he carefully put the pants into the water using the vine.
Due to the action of the sand, the pants entered the water vertically, and the waist part of the pants slowly submerged into the water. The entire pants became a useful lifting net. Chen Wei carefully tied the tree vines in his hands to the branches, and then took out his own
Compress the biscuits, crush some biscuit residues, and use them as nest material while still within the waistband of your pants.
Staring closely at the water, Chen Wei concentrated on waiting for the fish to fall into the net. Slowly, there were more fish, and they were wandering nearby, gradually approaching the net made of pants.
"Hurry up, get in quickly." Chen Wei whispered to himself, staring at the fish in the water, and at the same time, he gently sprinkled some biscuit crumbs into the water. Gradually, a fish entered his pants.
, it quickly discovered the sinking cracker crumbs, and the fish quickly ate them.
Chen Wei continued to put in a small amount of biscuit crumbs, and other fish gradually entered the inside of his pants. Seeing that there were already four or five fish, Chen Wei did not dare to wait any longer, because if there were too many fish, he was afraid that the tree vine would not be able to support it.
Live that much weight.
Using his hands hard, Chen Wei lifted his pants out of the water with a splash. As the lake water gradually flowed out from the gaps in the fabric of his pants, five fat lake fish had been left in the pants. Now all they could do was struggle in vain.
"Great, we can eat fresh meat today." Chen Wei smiled and lifted up his pants and walked towards the shore. Seeing that Chu Ying was still sleeping, Chen Wei used a military dagger to throw the fish out of his belly, and cut the fish intestines and
The fish scales were all cleaned off, and then the fish were strung up one by one with branches, and the salt they brought with them was rubbed all over the fish body, then stuck on the ground, and baked nearby with an alcohol stove.
A strong aroma of meat floated into Chu Ying's nostrils, and he immediately woke up from his sleep. Seeing Chen Wei sitting by the alcohol stove eating grilled fish, he immediately came over. "Hey, there is something delicious.
Why didn't you call me?" Chu Ying walked over with a smile.
Chen Wei finished the last bite of fish in his hand, patted his already full belly and said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you. I'm already full, so the three fish here are yours.
The people from Boston haven't come up yet, so I'll take a nap first so that you can be on guard." After saying that, he fell asleep.
