The operation was conducted under the cover of twilight.
Twenty people, except for Kress, all have experience of serving in the military, especially Ma Zhong and the three team captains, who have all served in the special forces.
With considerable practical experience, Ma Zhong has even participated in the World Special Forces Challenge and won a gold medal, and he can also fly various types of helicopters.
Among these eighteen team members, more than half can drive helicopters and use sniper rifles, and almost everyone can skillfully drive armored vehicles.
Almost all Harris armored vehicles are made in China.
Under the cover of two WZ-9s, three large helicopter transport planes carrying 20 people including Kress and Ma Zhong as well as three armored personnel carriers crossed the borders of Khalistan and the Principality of Kiev and quickly headed towards Yalta under the cover of twilight.
Advance regionally.
I didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.
But it's not surprising.
The border between the Principality of Kiev and the State of Kharis is almost in name only.
The current battle situation in the Yalta area is stalemate. Even if there is any abnormality in the air, both sides do not have better air defense forces to release a strike.
What's more, the five helicopters flew almost close to the ground, and their flight routes were as close to the radar busy spots as possible.
With the air defense capabilities of the Bo people in the Yalta area, even if it is detected, they may not be able to fight back.
Therefore, going all the way there, it is almost like entering a deserted land.
After arriving at the scheduled location, the plane returned, and it took Kress and the others less than ten minutes to land and get ready for departure.
Then the armored vehicle was immediately started and, under the guidance of two local guides, headed for the destination.
Almost at the same time as they set off, the Russians, Harris tribesmen, and Kexi tribesmen began to mobilize their forces on a large scale.
The Kexi people took the lead and launched an attack from the southeast.
According to intelligence, the Bosnian people in the Yalta area probably have a mechanized infantry brigade with about 3,700 people, 80% of whom are Bosnian. It is the regular 79th brigade government army of the Principality of Kiev.
Barrios is the head of the Special Assault Battalion directly under the 79th Brigade, responsible for a special operations force composed of more than 340 people, mainly engaged in infiltration operations deep into the enemy's later stages.
There are twelve official warriors among them, but their cultivation levels are not high, because the truly capable people in the Principality of Kiev have long since fled the country.
For example, Saner has many warriors from the Principality of Kiev. Among the eighteen people led by Kress this time, there are six from the Principality of Kiev, including four from Kxi and two from Harris.
In the short period of time that Barrios joined the 79th Brigade, he achieved great results. According to incomplete statistics, at least three small Kesi resistance guerrilla forces were destroyed by his own hands.
Therefore, he is now a deputy regiment-level senior commander of the 79th Brigade.
And theoretically, he has thirty-eight armored personnel carriers and eight medium tanks, various mortars, and many individual missile launchers.
With such firepower and the few people Kress has in hand, it will definitely not work if he is attacked by force.
After all, the opponent is a regular army.
Therefore, it is necessary for the Harris tribe, the Kexi tribe, and the Russian tribe to cooperate in attacking to attract firepower.
While Kress and the others were lurking and rushing forward, the Kesi guerrillas, who had been ambushing them for a long time, dispatched two regiments of troops and directly bombarded the 79th Brigade's position with large-caliber artillery.
Then, led by a dozen tanks, the charge began directly.
The 79th Brigade's counterattack seemed a bit slow.
Because it's very simple. The Kexi people don't have the advantage in terms of military strength in this area.
The current situation is that the Bos have occupied most of the strategic locations in the Yalta region, and are just waiting to make dumplings out of the Kesi.
They were just wary of the sudden appearance of Harris armed forces and Russian armed forces around them, so they adopted a special beheading operation to deal with the Kexi people's guerrilla tactics.
Therefore, they never expected that the Kexi people would dare to counterattack and invest so many troops.
For a time, the two armored infantry battalions, two tank companies and the artillery battalion guarding the southeast were plunged into chaos.
Before they could finish reporting the situation, the Russian armed forces from the northeast also launched an attack. The Russian armed forces were basically equipped with relatively heavy weapons. Under the guidance of four tank battalions, they directly crushed them southward.
Finally, there is the Harris people in the southwest. The Harris people are the most fierce this time. They directly dispatched fighter jets. Under the guidance of two Chinese-made F-7 fighter jets, they directly attacked the brigade headquarters of the Bosnian 79th Brigade.
Then a large number of tanks and armored fighting vehicles came together and rushed over.
The 79th Brigade fell into a bitter battle on three sides in a short period of time.
But in fact, it can’t be said to be a hard struggle.
That is to say, after a slight resistance from the Kexi people, and then the brigade headquarters was bombed, communications were almost cut off, and the defenders in each area suddenly became independent.
Those people were not vegetarians. After they could not contact the brigade headquarters, they immediately retreated and headed west.
Anyway, just flee to the west.
But this time it was not that easy. The two armored infantry battalions stationed in the west of the Yalta region were in the right place at the right time. When attacked and unable to resist, there was no problem in escaping westward.
But the eastern, southeastern and northeastern ones were basically cut off by the Russians and Harris people and blocked in the east. Then they were immediately split up and made into dumplings.
The Bo people in the southeast were relatively chaotic at first, but they quickly organized a counterattack.
After all, they still have a certain psychological advantage against the Kexi people.
And the strength of the troops is not bad. There are two armored infantry battalions, two tank companies and an artillery battalion on hand, with the strongest firepower.
But not long after they fought, they realized it was no longer possible.
In addition to the fact that the Kexi people seemed to be desperate this time, after the Russians packed up two tank companies and an armored infantry battalion in the north, they quickly flew south and violently bombarded their positions.
They were attacked from both sides and collapsed quickly.
The special operations battalion where Barrios is located happens to be in the southeastern region.
After encountering the surprise attack, most of Barrios's special operations battalion was protecting the brigade headquarters on the northwest side, and Barrios himself led a detachment of about seven infantry fighting vehicles and more than 40 people to protect the 79th Brigade.
brigade commander. Inspecting positions in the southeast.
After the war started, Barrios had no time to react. He didn't even know who the enemy was. Barrios' retreat was immediately cut off by the Russians and the Harris people.
Barrios' first thought was to immediately lead Knemyev, the commander of the 79th Brigade, to break through the blockade and contact the brigade headquarters.
But he soon discovered that there were too many Russians and Harrises in front of them. If they were to fight head-on, he would definitely become cannon fodder.
But Barrios was Barrios. After losing two infantry fighting vehicles and six or seven men, he carefully studied the map and, on the advice of a local guide, decided to start from the edge of the station from a man named Crenes.
The town center passes through.
Most of the residents in the town are Harris civilians, and those guerrillas should not attack that town.
Therefore, he immediately ordered the remaining armored vehicles of the special operations battalion to protect him and Knemyev through the small town of Krines.
So far, Barrios is full of confidence.
Of course, this confidence does not mean that the 79th Brigade can turn defeat into victory.
The Russians and Harris tribesmen took action at the same time, and the 79th Brigade was definitely destined to die. He was confident that he would be able to safely withdraw to the west.
After all, he still has five chariots and more than thirty elites, including six formal warriors.
As long as he successfully withdraws with Knemeyev, his future will be bright.
After all, being able to evacuate safely despite being surrounded and raided by the opponent's heavy troops is definitely a great achievement.
Of course, Knemeyev probably has nothing left to do.
The 79th Brigade originally had the advantage. However, as the brigade commander, Knemeyev looked forward and backward, allowing the Harrises and Russians to continue to gather personnel around the 79th Brigade without doing anything.
Finally falling into such a tight siege, he, the brigade commander, bears the greatest responsibility.
But no matter what, as long as Barrios can bring him back to Kiev, it will be a great achievement.
The convoy soon entered the town.
Barrios soon discovered that there were already many remnants of the Bo tribe in this small town, and it seemed that they had all retreated from the past.
Those infantrymen wanted to hitchhike when they saw the infantry fighting vehicles of the special operations battalion.
Barrios gave them a whipping without hesitation.
Knemeyev huddled in the armored vehicle and refused to show his head. After all, he didn't want his soldiers to know that he was on this fleeing convoy. This was too embarrassing.
And once word gets out, someone might sell it to someone else.
When the remaining soldiers who were left behind saw the logo of the armored vehicle and the armbands of the soldiers on the armored vehicle, they did not dare to continue to pester.
After all, the people in the special operations battalion cannot be offended by ordinary people.
They could only curse loudly behind them as the motorcade passed them and drove away.
Of course, this is of no use.
In this way, Barrios and five armored vehicles passed through the Hass town without any danger.
There are more and more deserters along the way here. It seems that there are not a few people who have chosen the same escape route as him.
Moreover, we also found quite a few people who were part of the establishment and ran away with their entire company.
Barrios couldn't help but want to stop these idiots and tell them that the commander of the 79th Brigade was beside him.
But I am afraid that if too many people gather, the target will be easily exposed.
After all, low-altitude fighter jets have begun to appear in the sky. Who knows if they have discovered this gap.
"Go ahead at full speed." After careful consideration, Barrios immediately ordered to evacuate this ghost place at full speed. After all, so many people were running here, and the target was quite obvious.
Knemeyev seemed to acquiesce to his behavior and continued to sit in the chariot and smoke cigarettes.
"Barrios, have you contacted the brigade headquarters?" After a while, he finally seemed to have remembered his responsibilities and raised his head and asked.
"General, not yet. I think the brigade headquarters may have been attacked by air strikes." Barrios replied.
The senior officer in front of him looked energetic when he first saw him, but now he was like a dead dog, only thinking about saving his life.
It is hard to imagine that this was an elite member of the Kiev government who had just been promoted to major general.
While talking, the motorcade suddenly stopped.
Barrios frowned and immediately knocked on the window and shouted: "What's going on?"
"Boss, there is some trouble. Someone has set up a roadblock to prevent us from passing." A lieutenant replied.
"Roadblock?" Barrios suddenly had an ominous look on his face and asked nervously, "Who set it up?"
It would be troublesome if they were armed by Kazakhs or Kexi people.
"I don't know, but it looks like he's one of our own who stepped back from the front. Damn it, let us get out of the car and get checked."
"Are they crazy? Teach them a lesson." Barrios was furious.
Knemyev on the side heard this. He frowned slightly and tried to put on a majestic look: "Barrios, don't attack your own people easily."
"Understood, General." Although Barrios disagreed in his heart, he still agreed.
Then he turned around and shouted to the lieutenant: "Tell them who we are and give them five more minutes to remove all the obstacles."
"Okay." The lieutenant then opened the door and got out of the car.
Not long after, Barrios heard a loud shout coming from outside.
Then there was loud gunfire.
"What's going on?" Barrios was confused. Could it be that the lieutenant did something stupid? At this juncture, it is easy to cause misunderstandings.
"Those bastards actually attacked us." The lieutenant covered his elbow. The blood was flowing, and it was obvious that he had been shot.
"How many people are there?" Barrios was annoyed.
"Twenty or thirty, maybe."
"Which battalion?" Barrios yelled.
"Which battalion? I didn't look carefully." The lieutenant just shook his head when a bullet hit the rear door frame of the infantry fighting vehicle directly, causing a spark to shine.
The lieutenant was so frightened that he lay on the ground with his head in his hands: "Lieutenant Colonel, hurry up and take cover."
"Hide your position and rush over to me." Barrios felt a sense of foreboding in his heart, "Kill without mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball roared from the air and hit directly on the roof of the last chariot in his convoy.
"Boom!" After the huge explosion, a fireball quickly rolled up.
"Withdraw!" On the armored infantry vehicle, the three infantrymen who survived the disaster crawled out, coughing.
As soon as they climbed out, a hail of bullets hit them directly.
"There is an ambush!" Barrios was not a fool. He immediately discovered the anomaly, then ran out and briefly observed the situation.
But it's obviously a bit late.
In front, his men were all suppressed by the opponent's powerful firepower. The opponent set up a machine gun on the left and right sides of the front, and blocked the road with a tank in the middle. They were hit with cross fire so that they could not even raise their heads.
"Quick, tank fire suppression, RPG, eliminate the machine gun fire points." Barrios immediately ordered the tanks behind to counterattack with vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns, and at the same time ordered the RPG to cut off the opponent's fire points.
After a few twists and turns, an infantry fighting vehicle of our own finally moved and began to suppress the opponent's firepower with its vehicle-mounted high-speed machine gun.
However, before the RPG could take action, the opponent's RPG had already taken the lead. After launching three RPGs, it directly silenced the only point of firepower on our side.
Barrios' eyes were filled with stars, and he shouted loudly: "Gunev, I want you to take people to take out the firepower point on the left immediately. Polneski, you take people to take out the firepower point on the left, and let me use the others immediately."
Fire support.”
After speaking, he held the edge of the chariot, picked up a metric carbine from the ground, and shouted to Knemeyev in the chariot: "We are ambushed and must evacuate quickly."
Knemeyev was obviously a little confused. He probably did not expect to encounter such a situation: "Barrios, find a way to break out."
After much deliberation, he could only say this.
"Yes, General." Barrios replied without feeling at all.
The two sides exchanged fire for a while, but Barrios' attempt to cut off the opponent's firepower completely failed. One of the two assault team captains was also killed, and Barrios' side was completely suppressed.
However, Barrios also discovered the opponent's weakness. The opponent probably didn't have many people and didn't have strong firepower. He probably just wanted to fight an ambush.
Moreover, the remnants of the Bo clan soldiers from behind have gradually caught up, and they seem to have caught fire with the ambushers.
It's just that those people are so cowardly that if they are ambushed by the other party, they will just run away, which is of no use.
Suddenly, the opponent's RPG started to show off its power again. A rocket exploded directly next to Knemeyev's tank. The impact instantly brought the two unlucky guys into the air.
The BMP2 tank was also shaken for a while, and Knemeyev rushed out like a lost dog. Under the protection of his two bodyguards, he leaned on the side of the tank.
This time he finally understood his situation.
"Barrios, I don't care what method you use, just knock the chariot blocking the road out of the way for me." Knemeyev ordered loudly.
He is not a fool. The other party has an RPG and there is no way they can defend it.
Barrios wanted to spit directly into his face, but considering that the two bodyguards beside Knemiev were of high cultivation, one was at the late red level, and the other was higher than him and was already at the orange level.
It was already in the early stages, so I still suppressed my inner anger and nodded: "Okay, General, I'll go right away."
Your Excellency the General said these words very loudly. Perhaps the ambushers nearby would be very interested if they heard what he said.
You have to find a way to escape on your own. As for this unlucky major general, let him fend for himself.
After saying that, he pushed back his helmet, held the carbine, and rushed out: "Gunev, they don't have many people. Take all of you, follow me, and put on the sword!"
A shout.
The four remaining warriors and a dozen Qi-training masters immediately followed him and rushed to the left.
On the hillside on the left, Kress's eyes were slightly cold. He looked at an observer holding a night vision device next to him and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"
"Yes, that guy is Barrios." The observer replied calmly. (To be continued...)
