The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Looking down from space, in the photos taken by satellites, the huge Nevada state, like the skin scratched by a crazy cat, is covered with a large number of dark traces in the north-south direction, which are all uplifted in the Great Basin Among the mountains are as high as Mount Jefferson, but in the valley, there are many tributaries converging to the Humboldt River. There are undulating meadows everywhere, rocks, deserts and Gobi interspersed among them, and the terrain is so complicated. If you want to It is extremely difficult to build a road.

Until two years ago, in the territory of a state equivalent to a province in China, the population of less than a million people was mostly concentrated in the capital Carson, Vegas in the southeast, and across the mountains in the middle. on the curved pioneering route.

But to be honest, the population is too small and the roads are so poor that, except for the north and south ends, the large piece of land in the middle with an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers cannot be driven by car, but cowboys are very used to riding horses The traffic and letters sent back and forth are well deserved.

With the outbreak of the war, the few urban residents simply dispersed, and no one wanted to stay and be harmed by the legendary cruel Chinese army.Of course, more were forced to move away when the US military withdrew.

During that time, the continuous retreat of the air and ground, and the annihilation battles of several armies in a row made the Americans think that they might be beaten all the way to the central part. In order to stop the enemy along the way, important buildings, bridges, roads, The dam was completely destroyed, and the population was taken away directly, leaving a mess.

So much so that now, except for the deep mountains and old forests in the whole state, there are really not many locals left in the corners that have not been notified in time.

In such a broken environment, wanting to use a large-scale troop group to fight is purely self-inflicted.However, it is extremely suitable for small groups of troops to circle inside and fight guerrilla warfare.The premise is that you have to have a way to solve the supply problem.Otherwise, people would not die of thirst, but it would definitely be uncomfortable.

When the US military's large-scale operations began, the Chinese troops responsible for the defense in this direction would naturally not be idle.It is about 200 kilometers away from the enemy's base camp, Salt Lake City.On the right side of the valley where a tributary originates, on a highland with lush vegetation, a special reconnaissance team wearing camouflage uniforms is quietly lurking under the green trees. Stay in front of the telescope to prevent the reflected sunlight from being discovered by enemies in the distance, concentrate on it, and look several kilometers away.

Beside him, several players each choose a corner.Carefully chewing the food with a special biting head, sipping the hard-won clean water in small sips, seemingly relaxed, but in fact, the safety of the firearm in the hand and chest is not turned off, the bullet is loaded, and it only takes a second to shoot The shuttle hugged it out.

Overhead, another murky roar passed by.Zhuang Yongyi glanced up.He muttered in a low voice: "It's his grandma! The American devils are rampant these days! The density of planes has obviously increased. Could it be that a general attack is about to be launched?"

After finishing speaking, I felt funny.how could it be possible!Just break the terrain.Whether it is from Salt Lake City to Vegas or to Carson, there is almost no supply point in the four to five hundred kilometers in the middle, and there are many mountains and deserts.The mechanized troops want to advance safely, unless roads and bridges are temporarily built, and they are psychologically prepared to never return.Otherwise, Nuo Da's vast world is the best line of defense!Except that the air force can fly freely in the sky.Army, let's go to sleep!

Their special reconnaissance team, in the entire first special mountain division of Wangzhangtang, has at least a hundred or so numbers, and it is not a problem to double it at any time according to needs.

The tasks undertaken are mainly air parachute or short-distance helicopter transport to the complex and changeable mountainous areas. On the one hand, concealed investigation points are set up to monitor and prevent large-scale enemy advances along the way; on the other hand, temporary rescue stations are set up. Be ready to respond to the pilots who were shot down in the air battle at any time---whether it is their own or the US military, it is the same.

Furthermore, it is to guard the air-to-air radar, communication base station, or signal receiving and releasing tower set up in front of the guard.

Because the battlefield is so vast and there are hundreds of times more animals than humans, the scouts are more bored waiting in addition to their daily busy schedule, which requires excellent patience and tenacity.After all, it is too difficult to change shifts once, and we can only count on the Army Aviation helicopters to pick them up one after another.

Combat, rarely happens.The Americans sent in very few infiltration troops. The local people didn't want to mess with heavily armed soldiers at all. As long as they didn't rob them of their property, they could hang out as they wanted.The large number of American paratroopers who were shot down seldom rushed to be martyrs. They did have pistols for self-defense, but they would never use them to fight against scouts with assault rifles or even machine guns.That's courting death.

Just like in the past few days, the air battle between the two sides has once again entered a white-hot stage, and the number of shot down has increased sharply. At any time, you can see the clear sky in the distance, the crashed plane dragging billowing smoke obliquely towards the ground, and a flower Blooming white umbrella flower.If they were too far away, Zhuang Yongyi and the others would be too lazy to move, and there was no point in making trouble.

The ones that were close, had the right to move their legs and feet, scattered and surrounded them, caught them back, stuffed them into the prisoner's hole, and waited for the plane to receive them.

For our own people, because there is a high-power walkie-talkie available, the pilot can communicate at low altitude through the receiver on the seat, and then control the parachute to fly towards this side, saving a lot of trouble.

Day by day, the days slip by quickly.

He looked around the sky and found no plane crashed. Zhuang Yongyi looked down at the green vegetation for a while, rested his eyes, took another sip of water, swallowed the chewed beef jerky, raised the binoculars again, and looked towards the valleys on both sides. Scanning, suddenly, he seemed to see something flickering, and when he wanted to take a closer look, he didn't find it!

If it were an ordinary person, it might be regarded as things like long-term dizziness, a fantasy world, or some wild animals, horses and livestock that were let go, and didn't take it seriously.But he has an unusually serious and cautious character, so he closed his eyes tightly to gather himself, and adjusted the focus again to look, but he still didn't notice it.But for some reason, it just feels wrong!

The soldiers around him didn't need to order, they all sensed his abnormality, turned around without saying a word, and held the gun in their hands with the smallest movement range.Just cautiously poked out behind the resting trees, stones, and ridges, and then searched for the security guards in all directions, bit by bit, without letting go of any suspicious traces.

Zhuang Yongyi stared at the corner of the valley at least three kilometers away, thinking quickly in his mind, looking for the different feelings that passed by.After a full 5 minutes, when he turned the camera, he suddenly thought of where the problem was --- there were some more eyesores in that field of vision!

Yes!There has been a change!

As an excellent scout, even if you can't remember it with your photograph, you will definitely leave a photo-like corresponding image of the terrain and landforms you have seen in your mind, and you will not ignore it in a short time.At this moment, he recalled the problem.Comparing and observing again, I found that the shapes of a few clumps of weeds are very unnatural!

Not animals, but people in disguise!

"Pay attention! 11 o'clock direction, No. 3 area, distance 3100, found suspected enemy situation!"

Conveyed in a low voice, a sniper immediately turned the 10x white light sight to point there.After careful observation for a while, he replied: "It can be confirmed! At least three enemy soldiers in camouflage! Not our costumes. They should be Yankees!"

Zhuang Yongyi patted the stone under him lightly, and cursed: "His grandma! He learned fast enough! In just a few days, he has copied the camouflage uniform! However, it is still too early to learn our tactics. It’s on! Heh heh, I can’t even pass the basic lurking and concealed search!”

a troop.It's not that you can hide it just by being equipped with camouflage uniforms. How to change tactics and habits accordingly is the most difficult thing.

The U.S. military has just begun to use this thing, and the corresponding tactics.But it was summed up by the war hall led by Eisenhower. The troops basically didn’t have any specific practice and training. They went into battle in a hurry, and after more than half a year of regular training, soldiers who have become accustomed to it naturally, still follow the dogma. How can there be no loopholes? ?

Not to mention anything else, just one thing, how to integrate yourself with the surrounding environment naturally requires repeated training.Usually, the best of them are snipers, or elite scouts.Ordinary soldiers, especially those with an established system, really can't do it in three or two days, and there are so many tricks in it that they can't be counted!

Therefore, seeing the lame movements of the opposite guy, Zhuang Yongyi and the others knew that it was definitely not their own!

"Old Qian! Go find out their truth!"

The sniper agreed, put the gun on his back, took out a pistol with double magazines, dressed in auspicious clothes, leaped and shuttled among the mountains, rocks, vegetation, and rushed down the mountain in a short time. , It is hidden in a vast greenery.

Zhuang Yongyi used his binoculars to look carefully at the valley on the other side. This time, he found nothing unusual, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. He let a team member stare at him and continued to observe ahead.

Three kilometers away, the rising disturbance of the air made the scenery in the field of vision seem to be shaking in the confusion of light and shadow, which was very tiring.However, the opponent was more cooperative. After waiting for a few minutes, the three discovered targets stood up, holding guns in their hands, and began to climb the hillside cautiously. Scouted out.

"Hey, it's kind of interesting."

Zhuang Yongyi bared his teeth and muttered in a low voice.It seems that the enemy is not a general miscellaneous soldier, it is clearly a reconnaissance team that went forward, an elite clearing the way, which means that there may be a large group of troops following up.His leisurely and boring days seemed to be over.

The sniper Lao Qian moved very fast. The target at the bottom of the mountain climbed up to 400 meters, and he had already moved to the lower end of the saddle-shaped ridge. First, use the telescope to look far away on the relatively open side After observing, after a short time, I found a place about two kilometers away, which was obviously wrong.

Looking further down, the number of scouts slowly approaching is not just three, there are a total of seven people, divided into two groups, front and back, covering each other and touching forward, the speed is not fast, it seems that they are not lightly tired .

Using the tactical radio to report, Zhuang Yongyi asked him to continue to monitor, leaving one team member to guard the rear, and led the rest to rush over immediately.

A few minutes later, when they arrived at the top of the mountain, the sniper Lao Qian also made a preliminary judgment: "It should be a force of no less than 100 people. It seems that there are motor vehicles, but they are all camouflaged. I'm afraid it's not very good from the air." Found. Judging from the amount of items carried by the leading soldiers, they should be well prepared, not like a temporary investigation."

Zhuang Yongyi nodded: "This is going to be a long-term mission! Good guy, we have caught a big fish! But we definitely can't eat them. Report to the higher authorities!"

Their task is not to fight head-on, to hide themselves, observe well, and report the situation at any time, that is seriousness.

Pass the information through the radio.The electronic reconnaissance plane hovering over the war zone immediately passed on the situation, and it didn't take long to arrive at Las Vegas, the headquarters of Wang Zhangtang's First Special Mountain Division.

After the lively World War I last year, they and Sima Jinming's two independent brigade-level units were officially upgraded to divisions directly under the headquarters.The number of troops has also increased from more than 2 to about [-]. They are stationed in Las Vegas and Phoenix, and they have a tug-of-war confrontation with the US military.

There are too many people.The air is naturally thick.

But as an offensive force, Wang Zhangtang couldn't help but feel aggrieved if they were allowed to stay for half a year without making a fuss.Today, unexpectedly, several groups of reconnaissance teams found unusual enemy tracks, and there were even violent firefights, so he immediately became interested.

The coordinates of the report had been prominently marked on the military map, and he glanced at it, and immediately saw the problem---it was too widely scattered!This is by no means an ordinary temptation!Coupled with the ferocity of the air attack.He felt a strange taste, American.It's going to be a fuss!

Chief of Staff Zhao Guoxiang briefly summarized their conclusions: "Given that our special reconnaissance team will not be careless to engage in casual encounters with the enemy, there is only one truth. The opponent has a large number of camouflage troops of good quality. Scattered in a vast buffer zone, they are advancing separately. And they have advanced for a long time, so it can be seen that they are deliberate. The staff believes that such abnormalities should be regarded as a sign of their full-scale attack!"

"All-out attack?"

Wang Zhangtang glanced at the buffer zone in the northeast of Vegas where the two sides were stalemate.Hehe smiled and said, "I'm afraid they won't come! But how are they going to send a large-scale army over? In the past six months, haven't they dealt enough blows to our air force?"

It should be said that enough!

Zhao Guoxiang smiled: "Maybe they have a new way to break the situation! But what's more, they may be defeated by the chief's fear attack tactics! If they continue to fight back, they will really be chaotic and unable to deal with it. They can't do it unless they work hard." !"

Wang Zhangtang sucked his teeth and said, "Don't care how many ways he comes, I will only go all the way! In the final analysis, everyone has to meet with swords and guns to decide the winner. As long as the Air Force does not lose the chain, who are we afraid of on the ground! No matter who he finds Let’s talk about all the enemy traces!”

"understand!"

Zhao Guoxiang immediately set about arranging the attack aircraft to work.Dealing with ground forces has always been a forte of the "Peregrine" attack aircraft, and they are very familiar with it.

It didn't take long for Zhuang Yongyi and his troops who discovered the enemy's traces, and soon attack planes rushed from a distance according to the coordinate guidance, and swept towards suspicious places with rockets and bombs.

But the U.S. military is not unprepared at all!Not long after the attack planes appeared, their fighter jets suddenly pulled out from the air battle, swarmed down, and fought fiercely to prevent their large-scale strikes, and immediately made the battlefield even more chaotic!

Similar situations soon broke out on more than a dozen battlefields!

In Salt Lake City, the former enemy headquarters of the U.S. Army, among the 3rd Army responsible for the offensive, Eisenhower, who was on the front line in person, calmly listened to the news from various places, his face full of confidence.

Everything is progressing towards the plan he expected and made in advance.Those troops who were specifically searching for suspicious areas were found out very quickly. How could the Chinese stay in the rear and be beaten passively?Its investigative power must be good!

But it doesn't matter, the reconnaissance troops discovered are only a very small number, and the seemingly large mechanized forces are also empty shelves, used to attract the enemy's reconnaissance forces and air strike forces.

The real main force of action never takes those obvious passages, and advances forward from the most troublesome and complicated mountainous areas at night.

Lieutenant General Walter Kruger frowned all the time, looking at the performance of the brigadier general who was said to be very popular in front of him, seemingly displeased, and disapproved of the practice of sacrificing the dozen or so elite scouts.Is it necessary to put in so much effort just to cover up the march?

Why not just send them to the battlefield!At the very least, I won't be aggrieved to death, it's inexplicable!

But this guy has the backing of Chief of Staff Marshall, and for a while, no one can do anything to him.Let's see, whether his tricks are effective or not!

A large number of troops, from Salt Lake City, from New Mexico, and from the north, marched towards the enemy's line of defense across the mountains and across the desert, day and night.

Zhuang Yongyi and the others finally had a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy reconnaissance team that came forward!Pieces of sudden flashes of explosive fire erupted in the valley that had been silent for a long time, and roaring bullets splashed out in the exchange of fire between the two sides!

The quality of the U.S. reconnaissance team was obviously inferior. Seven members persisted for only a few minutes, and four of them died. The remaining three immediately fled towards the depths of the mountain forest.

Zhuang Yongyi, like most of the teams, immediately pursued and killed them in order to catch people and obtain information. Before he knew it, a large number of investigative elites scattered in the mountains were all involved in the guerrilla warfare. come out! (To be continued..)
