As the several infantry fighting vehicles behind were destroyed, a clearing suddenly appeared in front of the special operations battalion. This scene made the special operations battalion commander feel a little uncomfortable, "Everyone is here, move close to the mountain, and look for shelter."
, there must be a scam here."
The chief of staff of the special operations battalion immediately commanded: "One platoon is looking for a way forward, and the rest are on standby."
But as soon as he finished speaking, smoke erupted from the helmets of the two soldiers.
When the special operations battalion commander saw the explosives, he was stunned. Landmines? When did they place the mines?
The chief of staff of the special operations battalion was also startled into a cold sweat and immediately shouted: "All personnel retreat and withdraw from the minefield."
But by this time it was already too late. Soldiers from two companies of the third battalion emerged from their hiding spots and cut off their retreat.
Normally, the special operations battalion would not be afraid of the blocking troops of the two companies, but now there is a blizzard, the visibility is extremely low, the wind and snow have completely covered the ground traces, and the mines have long been covered up, and there is no way
You can't tell the difference. If you don't pay attention, you will be blown up by a landmine.
This made them dare not move or fight, leaving them in a very passive situation.
As the blizzard got worse and worse, their limited activities resulted in them being almost covered by the wind and snow. If this continued, there wouldn't even be a need for three battalions to attack from the front and back. The blizzard alone would kill them.
The commander of the special operations battalion was heartbroken, "We have to find a way out of the mines even if we pay a huge price."
After hearing this, the soldiers of the special operations battalion acted as vanguards one after another. They were unwilling to continue fighting in such a frustrating situation and had to find a way out for their comrades behind them.
However, Squad Leader Huang's minelaying technology is extremely sophisticated, and it is mechanical minelaying with a high density, killing a huge number of enemies in one time.
Coupled with the blocking of the three battalions and two companies, the bullets were sprayed out like water. In less than half an hour, the special operations battalion had lost more than half of its personnel, with less than a hundred personnel left.
At this time, within the director team, the Major General Chief of Staff saw that the situation of the special operations battalion was over. Under such a strong snowstorm, if we persisted, there would inevitably be a large number of non-combat attrition.
Then he looked at Deputy Brigadier Chen and said, "In my opinion, the assessment is over. Let the personnel of the special operations battalion immediately go to the vehicles of the third battalion to escape the snowstorm."
The image transmission screen of the drone was gone, and all he could see was a vast expanse of white snow. Although he did not think that the special operations battalion had lost its combat effectiveness, there was no point in continuing the fight. Even if the special operations battalion could escape,
But there were still thirty or fifty men left, so what harm could they do to the Third Battalion, which still had more than four hundred men?
So he nodded and said: "I agree."
Brigadier Meng immediately said: "I agree too."
The three chief officers of the assessment team reached an agreement and issued the order immediately. When both parties received the order to end the assessment, they had different expressions.
Lin Yi immediately issued an order to have the 3rd Machine Infantry Company move out their infantry tanks so that the soldiers of the special operations battalion could enter and escape the blizzard.
The special operations battalion commander hammered the ground unwillingly. He could obviously escape, but why didn't the director team give him more time?
But his thoughts were immediately pulled back, something felt wrong in his hand, and then the smoke pack on his helmet exploded, revealing that there was actually a landmine underneath.
How many mines has this Lin Yi buried here? Why was his car fine in the past? Are the skills of these drivers so good? What method did Lin Yi use?
Seeing this, the chief of staff grabbed the battalion commander's smoke bag and threw it out, and then said: "Batalion Commander, it's too windy and snowy outside, let's get into the armored vehicle to take shelter first."
The special operations battalion commander's eyes turned sharp at this moment, "Let's go and talk to Lin Yi."
The chief of staff was afraid that there would be a conflict between the two, so he quickly tried to dissuade him, "Battalion Commander, let's not get into trouble with this blizzard. After all, the infantry fighting vehicles used to escape the snow and wind were provided by the third battalion. If you make someone angry,
, if they don’t provide us with vehicles, wouldn’t that be a bad thing?”
The special operations battalion commander waved his hand, "I'm not looking for trouble with him, I just want to see how capable this deputy battalion commander is who can defeat me."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked away.
The chief of staff had no choice but to follow.
Lin Yi also quickly received the news that the special operations battalion commander wanted to see him. Lin Yi looked at the instructor and asked, "See you?"
The instructor nodded immediately, "Let's meet him. After all, he is the chief officer of the special operations battalion. We can't lose etiquette if he comes to visit you in person."
Soon the door of the command vehicle opened, and a lieutenant colonel and a major got in. The instructor was quite enthusiastic and brought two cups of hot water. "Comrades, please drink some hot water to warm your body first. I am the instructor of the third battalion.
,This is our deputy battalion commander Lin Yi."
Even without introduction by the instructor, the special operations battalion commander knew who was who. He had already engraved Lin Yi's photo in his mind and could recognize Lin Yi as soon as he saw it.
But when he saw Lin Yi's young face, he was still heartened, "Hello, Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, I am the commander of the 1st Special Operations Battalion."
Everyone took the initiative to speak, so Lin Yi naturally couldn't stand still, and said with a smile: "Sit down first, the assessment is over, and it has become a thing of the past. I hope we won't mention the unpleasantness of the assessment again. What do you think is terrible?"
good?"
The special operations battalion commander understood what Lin Yi meant, but he didn't come here to cause trouble, nor did he want to make the relationship tense. He nodded, "I think it's good."
Now that the basic opinions were agreed upon, Lin Yi's attitude was very casual, "The special operations battalion commander must have come to me because he wanted to understand how the mine array works."
The special operations battalion commander waved his hand and said, "Before I came here, I defused a landmine. I understood at a glance that it was nothing more than a remote sensing mine. When you passed through this mine area, you did not activate the mine. When we came to the middle of the road,
The mine array was only activated at that time. Under such heavy wind and snow, no matter how hard we ran, we could not get out of this road.
It’s just that I’m really confused, how did you lay mines? You were obviously under our surveillance all the time, and no vehicle escaped our sight at all, so why were you able to lay mines on the entire road out of thin air?”
Lin Yi smiled, "When you blew up the reservoir and fought fiercely with the fourth battalion, I had already sent people to lay mines. I originally wanted to leave an escape route so that I would not be chased and unable to escape, but I didn't expect this.
But it became the battlefield for our final showdown.
As for the speed of laying mines, this is due to an old squad leader of our equipment department, who invented a simple minelaying vehicle himself, which was used exactly for this purpose."
When the special operations battalion commander heard that the old squad leader could actually invent a mine-laying vehicle by himself, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his jaw. He had to give a thumbs up and said, "Awesome!"
