Chapter 537 Reconnaissance Line of Defense

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the high ground to the east of this small village is the station of the Presidential Guard, which is actually just a few hills.  The terrain here is not high, and it is not a strategic location, so neither the national liberation organization nor the original government troops sent troops to seize it.

    But now there is a force stationed here. This force is none other than the capital garrison of Gan Guo President McGlenn.  The number of this unit is not large, but its combat effectiveness is the strongest in the entire Gan government army.  It is said that President McGrane initially selected more than 400 qualified military elites to join the Presidential Guard.

    But as the army continued to expand and eventually became larger and larger, the shortcomings of the army's lack of officers became apparent.  This forced President McGrane to continuously transfer soldiers from his private army to the Presidential Guard to serve as grassroots officers. As a result, the size of the Presidential Guard became larger and larger, and finally it became enough to frighten the capital garrison of one party.

    ¡°However, these more than 3,000 people are the essence of this force, and they are President McGrane¡¯s most powerful military force collection.  This time, under the leadership of White Scorpion, they made an unstoppable march from the capital to the railway bridge over the Azura River, breaking through the defenses of the National Liberation Organization.

    The tactics adopted by the national liberation organization are to continuously block and consume the enemy's effective strength. Both sides are fighting positional warfare and war of attrition.  However, the military strength is obviously not on the same level. Although the gap in weapons and equipment is not big, the national liberation organizations are obviously an entire era behind their opponents in terms of war concepts and tactical application.

    Anti-government guerrillas can only be guerrillas, once they enter a small battle of some scale.  The national liberation organization immediately showed its decline and retreated again and again. Finally, it could only retreat to one side of the railway bridge. With amazing courage and fearless sacrifice, it held on to one side.

    And the capital garrison here, although it is said that a large part of the offensive troops have been diverted away, the defense is still very tight.  Through preliminary reconnaissance, Lin Rui determined that there were at least three infantry companies left behind in the entire headquarters, plus a direct artillery company and a guard company.  Their powerful force is still several times that of the defenders of the National Liberation Organization, and the defensive pressure on one side of the railway bridge is still very heavy.  Moreover, these companies here are obviously used as reserve teams and can participate in the attack at any time.

    Therefore, Lin Rui is even more certain that he must destroy this headquarters and provide side support to the national liberation organization armed forces on the other side of the river.  But all this requires intelligence support because they only have one chance.  Without sufficient intelligence support, any action may encounter accidents.  So Lin Rui asked Wang Haoze and Yelena to conduct reconnaissance to get more information.

    The rest of the people were hiding in the woods outside the abandoned small village. Although it was not a dangerous place, the woods were very dense and it was a good place to hide people. Unless the government troops sent out large forces to search, they would not be found.

    Lin Rui looked at his watch, feeling anxious like never before.  Because he knew that every minute he waited, someone might die, and now their team of only six people became the only surprise team that could turn the situation around.

    "Captain, I'm back." The speaker was Wang Haoze, another Chinese in the team. He had just been taken out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and came back to resume his duties.

    "How is the situation?" Lin Rui's stern face showed no expression.

    "The government army's headquarters is set up in a town fifteen kilometers northeast. It is very tightly guarded. There are government troops guarding the town, and there are patrols patrolling continuously. I have no chance to sneak in. I just observe from the outside.  Let¡¯s take a look at their defense situation. Here is the intelligence I collected.¡± Wang Haoze put the memory card on the battlefield recorder into the tactical computer.

    "Well, it seems that we have to be careful in this operation. It is indeed the most elite presidential guard of the government army. The tactical quality of this commander is indeed first-class." Lin Rui said solemnly.

    "However, I discovered the oil depot of the government army. Probably because their motorized troops advanced too fast, the oil transportation was stacked in the open. There were multiple oil tank trucks and hundreds of oil drums. If it was planned well, it should be returned  There is a chance." Wang Haoze said.

    "Oh! Their oil depot? Where is it and how many people are guarding it?" Lin Rui asked with his eyes shining.

    "It's about five kilometers away from their station, between the road and the small town. The government army may have done it to facilitate the replenishment of fuel for the troops on the front line, so they did not place the warehouse in a safer rear. The defenders did have  Quite a few. I observed that at least one infantry company has deployed three lines of defense around the oil depot in order to prevent enemy sneak attacks. Each line of defense is guarded by soldiers. At the same time, there are also a large number of patrols patrolling. There are actually a small number of  The armored vehicles are there." Wang Haoze said in detail.

    "A forceful attack is definitely not possible. On the one hand, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. On the other hand, we are far away from the command of the government troops."The base is so close that once gunshots are fired, the government troops stationed there can arrive in a few minutes.  Lin Rui said with a frown.

    "Captain, how about we infiltrate in disguise like we did last time. Once we get close to the government army's oil depot, a fire will wipe out all their fuel supplies." Wang Haoze whispered.

    "No." Lin Rui thought for a while and shook his head. "Our main target is the enemy's headquarters. Although destroying their oil depots can cause them some trouble, it will not solve the fundamental problem. It will even  We were exposed in advance. The gain outweighs the loss. Has Yelena come back? What news is there about her? "

    "I don't know." Wang Haoze shook his head and said, "She and I are not going in the same direction. But she has always been good at disguise and infiltration, and she may discover more than me."

    "I'm back." Yelena emerged from the bushes. Her whole body was covered with leaves and dead branches, and her face was covered with colorful green oil paint. As she walked in the woods, she seemed to blend in with the trees.  One body.

    "Tell me, how was your reconnaissance going?" Lin Rui nodded.

    "There are three lines of defense, barbed wire fences, and layers of soldiers guarding them. I tried to sneak in and found it a bit difficult, but it's not impossible." Yelena whispered.

    "So, how are the three lines of defense of the government forces set up, and how far is each line of defense from the headquarters?" Lin Rui thought for a while and asked.

    "The three lines of defense of the government forces are set up with the headquarters as the center. The outermost line of defense is about three kilometers away from the headquarters, and the number of people defending it is one platoon in the southeast and northwest. The second line of defense is less than two kilometers away from the headquarters.  The government army set up roadblocks there to check passing vehicles and soldiers, and there were also a lot of defenders. The third line of defense was set up near the headquarters, and the government army's barracks were also there. The line of defense included the general camp and the command post.  Everyone gathered around." Yelena said as she took off the memory card from the helmet.

    ? Their helmets are equipped with battlefield recorders, a small camera device.  Enough to record all the battlefield intelligence they saw.
