The members of the special operations company had suffered losses before, so they checked the surroundings very carefully. They first sent out vehicles carrying thermal imaging cameras to circle around to make sure there were no hidden persons within one kilometer, and then dispersed the troops to conduct a detailed search.
The whole process took at least half an hour.
So much so that the corporal who was hiding asked curiously: "Assistant Lin, what are the Blue Army troops doing? This car is going around in circles, which makes me dizzy. Are they drawing totems?"
Lin Yi smiled, "Although the thermal imager can detect objects with heat, the effective range of the thermal imager for individual soldiers is only 800 meters, and there cannot be enough obstructions."
Unless it is a large-scale thermal imager used for rescue, it can have relatively strong penetration, but that kind of thing must at least be placed on a helicopter, and it is difficult to mount it in a vehicle.
Have you ever seen a soldier attack? There was a scene where Xu Mumu carried two eggs and was discovered by a low-altitude reconnaissance helicopter. If Xu Mumu did not carry the eggs, even a large thermal imager would not be able to penetrate a squad hidden under a tent.
Soldier.
This thing seems very powerful, but its actual effect is far less powerful than imagined.
They turned around so many times because they wanted to use the thermal imaging camera to determine whether there were any ambush around them. After all, the visual conditions were not good now. Although the infrared night vision device could see further, it was not as clear as thermal imaging.
The corporal nodded, "It seems that he was frightened by the last time we bombed him, and he is afraid that we will do it a second time, but this is fine, as long as we can delay it for a while."
At this time, Lin Yi's individual communication sounded, proving that the communication drone of the service battalion was already hovering in the sky. The staff officer of the training unit asked: "Assistant Lin, how is your situation now?"
Lin Yi reported: "A company of the Blue Army is dismantling the booby traps I deployed. It is expected to spend half an hour here. The specific movements cannot be analyzed yet, but judging from their posture, it seems that they are stationed. They even have vehicle-mounted
The machine guns have been set up."
The signal was quickly transmitted to the service battalion headquarters, and the chief of staff made an immediate decision and asked Lin Yi to report the coordinate position.
Although Lin Yi was surprised, he quickly reported the specific location. However, the service camp did not have long-range firepower units. Even if the coordinates were reported, they could not carry out long-range strikes.
The corporal said, "Our battalion's 107 rockets have a maximum range of 8.5 kilometers. Is it possible that they are already within this distance?"
Within 8.5 kilometers?
They can't move so fast. This is the area controlled by the Blue Army. There should be a Blue Army defense line in front. With the combat level of the service battalion, they can't move too fast.
What's more, troops will be drawn out at any time to support other units on the virtual red side.
Huh?
Is it possible that the chief of staff can also request assistance from virtual red team firepower units?
The chief of staff really had this idea. Regardless of whether it was feasible or not, he would first report the requirements to the director's department. Soon the director's department received a request for fire support from the service battalion.
Not long after, the director issued a notice that the coordinates of area C65 (545,874) were met with a salvo of artillery fire from two red artillery batteries, killing more than 40 Blue Army troops.
The Chief of Staff was overjoyed when he heard the news. He didn't expect that he could so easily wipe out half of the Blue Army company after learning a coordinate. This kind of victory was something the service battalion had never experienced before.
The battalion commander was also full of excitement, "What a great Lin Yi. The coordinates are reported beautifully. Hurry, contact the director's department and continue to apply for artillery support."
But this time, what was received was a rejection request from the director's department, "Other units on the red side also need fire support, and the second fire support will not be available until 24 hours at the earliest."
When the battalion commander heard the news, he also knew that he was a little greedy, but being able to deal with so many enemies remotely was beyond his expectation.
At this time, the blue team's special operations company received a notice from the director's department that it was attacked by the red team's artillery group, injuring 45 people. Please immediately withdraw the personnel and weapons of the four squads.
When the special operations company commander heard the news, he was immediately confused. Red square artillery group?
The red side is just a service support battalion, where does the artillery group come from?
Just rely on some 82 force, 82 nothing, and 107 fire?
Can these shabby, jingling things be called artillery?
The range of their most powerful 107 fire is only seven or eight kilometers. How can they cover my place with fire?
So I immediately checked with the battalion headquarters.
Soon the battalion headquarters came to an opinion, "Your unit was attacked by the Red Side's 152 howitzer group, and more than forty people were killed."
152 howitzer group?
Brigade level heavy artillery?
Can I still apply for those virtual troops to join the battle?
The Blue Army Battalion is also very aggrieved now. They don't even know that they can apply for virtual units for fire support.
If you have this demand, why don't you just apply for a heavy-armed combined battalion and crush them all the way? Why let your light infantry combined battalion slowly eat them up?
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
So the Blue Army also applied for the launch of a precision-guided missile, so they could directly defeat the Red Army's headquarters.
The application was quickly rejected for the simple reason that the guided weapons had been occupied.
Yes, the blue battalion commander knew that this would be the result. Although he used his own combat battalion to fight against the red battalion's service battalion, he took a big advantage.
But if the red side can apply for brigade-level heavy weapons support at will, the battle will be impossible to fight. Brigade-level versus battalion-level is a dimensionality reduction strike in itself.
Not to mention the air-ground integrated helicopter squadron, your own light armored vehicles are targets in front of the helicopters.
No matter how powerful the anti-aircraft weapons are, they must have sufficient signal monitoring. Trying to hit the target with your own anti-aircraft missiles is nothing more than a dream.
Even if the service battalion fails to apply for air support, if it applies for several artillery strikes, the next time the artillery shells may not fall on the head of the special operations company, but directly on the head of my battalion headquarters.
How can you play like this? It's too unfair.
So we reported it again and asked the director to be fair and cancel the red team's brigade-level support firepower.
But what I got was still rejection.
Okay, the battalion commander of the blue army couldn't sit still anymore. "Notify everyone that the battalion commander will get on the bus immediately and conduct mobile command to prevent the enemy from capturing the target."
After the special operations company commander received the exact information from the battalion headquarters, he separated into four weaker squads and immediately moved all the men and vehicles. However, they were frightened by the heavy artillery group and lost more than half of them before they knew it.
If this was a real battlefield, our own troops would have collapsed long ago. The power of heavy artillery is not only reflected in the killing fragments, but the power of the shell shock is also amazing.
For troops that can survive the heavy artillery attack, the internal organs of the soldiers may be rotten, and they may fall to the ground and bleed from their orifices while walking.
This will destroy the remaining military morale of the squad.
