"What kind of battle is this?" Wang Luo, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, threw his cup on the ground angrily. He couldn't even find his own troops now. This was the first time he had encountered such a frustrating battle.
Even in the era before radio, he had never been so detached from his army. At least if the troops were sent out, whether they met the enemy, whether there was a battle, whether they won or lost, there was always a result, right?
Fortunately, he didn't know where his troops were, what kind of enemies they encountered, or how they fought.
Originally, he tried to regain control of the entire army, but as the frontline army-level and division-level headquarters were destroyed one after another, his staff very wisely shut down all the northern cluster headquarters.
Command radio station.
This has kept them safe until now. Other logistics departments that can be contacted, as well as the Guards troops close to the headquarters, also followed the same example. They turned off the radio and started using the signal corps to transmit messages, and those damn mysterious missiles were no longer available.
Never appeared.
Yes, it was a missile! After 4 army commanders and 11 division commanders were killed, someone finally saw the attack that was like a flying fairy from outside the sky. A missile hit the military communications tent without any bias, killing the communications soldiers inside.
He was sent to the sky together with the nearby command post.
In order to transmit commands in the so-called strong electromagnetic interference, the Qin Army's communications troops increased the power of their radio stations and raised the frequency without exception to restore command and dispatch in complex environments.
Then, they were like fireflies in the dark, bright and outstanding. The anti-radiation missiles mounted on the A-6 Prowler electronic warfare aircraft hovering in the sky were like moths rushing towards the flames.
One without hesitation.
The opponent does not even know the basic working principle of this anti-radiation missile, nor does it know the countermeasures, so it has no way to deal with this unilateral node attack.
The frontline radar station that was finally established in Xiajuan was turned on. When the radar screen was still full of noise due to interference, it was blown away by the anti-radiation missile launched by the Prowler.
Because of the distance, the radar operators were just frightened this time, but the radar antenna matrix and other radar equipment that Qin finally transported to the front line had to be transported again.
It is simply impossible to rely on signal corps and cavalry motorcyclists to command and dispatch hundreds of thousands of people and thousands of tanks. It is simply impossible to suddenly return to the command state of twenty years ago, but to dispatch the army twenty years later.
It's a disaster.
Before Wang Luo could figure out where his troops were, his troops had already collapsed and retreated under the air attack.
If they were defeated, they were actually lucky. The most unlucky ones were those troops who stayed in the same place and knew nothing, waiting for orders but unable to wait for them.
They foolishly waited in place for a day, and received no orders the next day. But what they didn't know was that the friendly forces that were supposed to be on their flanks had already retreated for a day and a night.
Now, these Qin troops are like protrusions, and they may be surrounded and eaten by Tang troops at any time.
However, these troops only carried food for one or two days and only ammunition for one battle. They were waiting on the spot like idiots, still trying to find their own division headquarters and military headquarters, and still listening to the radio stations that were full of electric sounds.
Desperate calls were made again and again, asking for food supplies that they should have received yesterday.
"Brothers of the Qin Army! You have been pushed onto a desperate battlefield, facing the invincible cavalry of the Tang Dynasty! Now you have no possibility of escape. Don't take any chances, put down your weapons and surrender! The Tang Empire treats prisoners preferentially! Qin
The people of Tang Dynasty... are as close as one family!"
"Click!" Turning off his radio, in a house in Qili Village, the battalion commander of the Qin Infantry Battalion walked back and forth angrily: "How can we fight this battle? Our regiment has been waiting here for a whole day.
Whether to attack or to retreat, I have to give an explanation."
The second battalion commander next to him had a sad look on his face. Like the first battalion commander, he had received orders to retreat to Qili Village, but after arriving here, he seemed to be completely forgotten.
"The food should have been delivered yesterday, but the logistics team couldn't be contacted, and no truck passed by... let alone passing by, the whole road was full of debris, it's a damned thing if a truck could come here." said the first battalion commander.
I dug out my cigarette case from my pocket and found that there was only the last cigarette left in it, which made me feel even worse.
His troops have already begun to use the emergency rations they carry. These are portable rations carried by individual soldiers, and the soldiers are not allowed to eat them themselves.
After all, if you can receive rice and noodles directly and have logistics troops to cook for you, who would be willing to use the expensive, small but precious "marching military rations"?
You should know that biscuits, whether canned or plastic-sealed, have a long shelf life and are good items that can be kept and used as backup supplies.
The Qin State itself has a very low production capacity of such materials. Under normal circumstances, soldiers are not allowed to consume the more expensive canned and plastic-sealed food. However, because the supplies cannot keep up, these troops that are advancing rapidly have to eat these precious
consumables.
"What I'm most worried about now is our ammunition reserve. We can fight a dozen even if we are hungry in two or three days. If we encounter the Tang Army, we won't be able to last for a day with the little ammunition we have." The second battalion commander hoped.
He wanted to fight a battle, but he was worried that he didn't have enough ammunition.
"Following reinforcements have not followed up. The division headquarters heard that it was bombed, but we did not encounter any enemy planes..." For the infantry of Qin State, their understanding of bombing is still unclear.
To the extent that planes fly overhead and drop bombs.
What they don't know is that the anti-radiation missiles of the Tang Empire are already in another field. The attack methods of the A-6 attack aircraft are not something they can guess.
In fact, these two battalion commanders of the Qin Army overthought themselves. They were simply ants in the encirclement.
In the distance that they could not see, the armored troops of the Tang Empire had already begun to take action. Like a huge iron pincer, they surrounded the Qin army from the north and south.
The Qin army near Xiajuan did not know that danger was already on both sides of them. They were still waiting for the order from the top to be passed to them.
It's a pity that their superiors really forgot about them, or in other words, there were too many Qin Army battalions or company-level troops like them scattered on the battlefield, and the senior commanders of the Qin Army were simply too busy to give them any advice.
