Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1109 Steel Collision
Although the air force's unexpected defeat caught people off guard, Clark still had deep confidence in his Fifth Army. As an ace force, the Fifth Army could defeat any enemy who dared to stop him from the front, even double or triple.Although the Chinese army has their strengths, but looking back on the several times they have fought against the Chinese, it is obvious that the opponent cannot win without gaining an advantage in military strength.

At present, it seems that the Chinese have lost the opportunity to outflank and contain Chicago. It is simply impossible to deploy three to four armies from the front. Therefore, letting the fifth army advance at this moment is a good way to save the defeat. .

No one had any doubts about Clark's order, because no one could find anything wrong.

"Quick, quick, quicker!" In the tropical jungle, Company Commander Long's urging voice sounded behind everyone, and the trot-like pace, which was already trotting, continued to accelerate under the urging. In the dark jungle, except for the sound of footsteps, It's the sound of rapid breathing.The voice was neat and deep, but it sounded extremely menacing.

The unique topography of the tropical jungle caused the mobile troops to lose their infantry fighting vehicles. At this moment, all they could do was rely on their own legs to cross the long jungle and catch the enemy by surprise.

Their task was to open the way for the large troops to investigate the city of St. Louis, but they never expected that the two powerful Chinese and American forces would set their sights on one place at the same time, St. Louis!What dazzling sparks will be sparked by the collision of this iron fist and iron fist!
Now, to them, although the plan is simple, there are too many uncertain factors, and the number of interspersed troops is astonishing, making the entire route look like a huge spider web.The staff officers who conceived this simple plan seemed to be doing extremely complicated calculus. In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle at the same time, they completely disrupted the organizational system and let the troops use companies as units to carry out multi-line interspersed.

It's up to people to plan, but it's up to God to make things happen. No one knows what the final result of such a detailed battle plan will be. Everyone can only be like gamblers, squatting in front of the dice cup, waiting for the one that will win the prize.

The company commander feels like a dice at this moment. Although there is a map to guide and help him, the company's future is still as unpredictable as the dark green in front of him.Without modern weapons such as tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, can the Dragon Army still fight big and tough battles?
Behind them, the soldiers were still trotting forward at an even speed, and the birdsong from the front from time to time conveyed the results of the reconnaissance by the pioneers.In two more hours, we will arrive at the scheduled assembly point. The first company commander looked at the map. There are still two kilometers to go. The time seems to be enough.

"Quack, quack~!" Just as he was thinking about whether to let everyone take a break, the clear and crisp bird calls in front of him were suddenly replaced by rapid frog calls. Hearing the call, the company commander was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand and greeted everyone. Everyone stopped moving forward.

"Crack!" The cry was urgent, and the sound seemed to be endless. Hearing this cry, the company commander's calm expression gradually became dignified. The number of enemies exceeded imagination, and even exceeded the level that his company could drive away. .

"Everyone, lurk on the spot and prepare to fight!" After pondering for a moment, the company commander ordered loudly.

"Gah!" The shouts stopped abruptly, and a few minutes later, a lightly armed American army appeared vigilantly in front of everyone.

A platoon-level lead reconnaissance.The company commander looked around and saw that more than 30 American soldiers had already appeared at the end of the road. Such a large number of pioneers could only explain one problem. The reconnaissance they provided for them should be at least the size of a regiment.

"To fight, or not to fight?" The company commander was entangled in these two choices. One company beat a regiment hard. Except for lunatics, only those so-called geniuses can do it. Threats to diversion routes of large forces.

While thinking about it, the enemy has already entered the range, and the soldiers around him are also looking at the company commander at the same time.

The sight of the rifle in the company commander's hand was already locked on the leading American soldier. In the dark jungle, the opponent's infrared night vision device had no effect on the anti-infrared combat training uniform.The U.S. military, which has been armed to the teeth, seems to have no way to rely on when facing an enemy with which they have no decisive difference in light weapons.

The face of the other party is very young, perhaps only in his twenties, and he may have parents, wife and children in his family. Once he falls, it will be the same as the end of the world for his family.However, it is a pity that it is now on the battlefield, showing mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, no one will be noble enough to let the enemy go, especially when the two armies are facing each other.

The opponent gradually came into range, and seeing the figure constantly shaking in the sight, the company commander took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" The 5.8mm bullet specially made for body armor was flashing, and after a sharp whistle, it sank into the opponent's body. The extremely penetrating bullet ignored the function of the body armor and rolled on the body. It swirled inside, and a mass of human tissue mixed with flesh and blood sprayed out from behind.After the leading vanguard let out a muffled snort due to the impact of the bullets, he flew upside down in an instant and hit his head on the tree trunk.Just when all the comrades behind were surprised by this sudden scene, the surrounding forest suddenly flashed with flames, and a semicircular firepower net enveloped them all at once.

Facing the surprise attack and superior force of the dragon army, the enemy seemed to realize that he was in a desperate situation at the same time as he reacted.

The dense projection of firepower is unmatched by the guerrillas of the evil South American countries they encountered before. The opponent obviously burst out with all their strength as soon as the battle started.Hearing the grenade exploding beside him, feeling the scorching heat of the bullet rubbing against the skin.Everyone was so terrified that they even forgot the fear itself.

More than 30 American troops were wiped out one by one.When the gunshots stopped suddenly with a cry, there were already dozens of corpses lying in disorder on the grass that was still emitting a little bit of smoke.

"Keep the radio silent and move on!" The company commander ordered in a low voice after looking around.

The two huge group armies collided together silently, as if two dark flowers blended together, without the slightest spark splashing, only entanglement and interweaving.The battle of a company commander is just a little bit of friction in this intertwining. Under the deliberate concealment and ambush of one side, this kind of friction is reasonably ignored in the huge intelligence network. Although it is possible, no one believes it, or Dare to believe that the Chinese, who have always been known for their prudence, took such a risk to conduct a one-on-one duel like a gamble.

However, sometimes, despite all the impossible, the most impossible may be the most possible.

Zhang Xueliang, the young commander of the 48th Army of the Dragon Army, was standing in the middle of the command vehicle. Around him, staff officers were constantly busy in the narrow command vehicle. Although the frontline troops still maintained the proper radio silence, but in the C3I system However, their coordinates are clearly displayed on the screen.

"Sir, No. 12 skirmishes have occurred! Except for the fifth company of the third regiment, the rest of the troops are still going to the assembly point as planned. Do you need to send a reserve team to rescue?" The staff officer handed over the collected information to the army commander hand, said in a low voice.

"How long has Wulian been out of contact?" Zhang Xueliang took the information but didn't read it, but asked.

"About an hour. The fourth company and the sixth company in the vicinity did not encounter obstacles and continued to advance as planned. In the area where the fifth company disappeared, frequent radio activity was detected." After the staff answered neatly, they guessed again.

"The general reserve team does not move, tell the artillery unit to cover the place where the fifth company lost contact for 15 minutes." Zhang Xueliang meditated for a period of time that was enough to make people anxious, and whispered, his words, in a certain In this sense, the fate of Wulian has been determined.

"Yes!" The staff officer was taken aback. As a military commander known for his love for soldiers, the order he issued at this moment seemed a bit unkind. Although Wulian was just a simple number in the mouths of everyone, but what this number represented was The lives of more than a hundred soldiers.This made the staff officer feel a little blocked when he executed the order.

Zhang Xueliang also knew that his order was almost unreasonable, but in his opinion, Wulian no longer had the meaning of rescue.At the beginning, the marching route was set in a scattered manner, which itself had the intention of reconnaissance.It is very likely that the fifth company will encounter a large enemy force in the process of advancing, but no matter what, the rescue of the fifth company will be the reserve team that has already lurked.The only thing Zhang Xueliang can do now is to frighten the snake, hoping that the enemy will become suspicious.

Clark just got the news that the A Regiment belonging to the 101st Airborne Division had just wiped out a company that was trying to block them, and the opponent was mostly wiped out under the superior firepower of the A Regiment, although in Clark's view, this did not seem to be a great credit worth reporting , but the last sentence of the leader surprised him.

"The enemy took all the corpses?" Clark put down the cup in his hand and asked the staff around him with an uncertain expression.

"Yes, sir. According to the military doctor's report, most of the wounded soldiers had penetrating wounds. The warheads were 5.8mm steel-core bullets, and the bullet casings left by the enemy were copper bullet casings. Therefore, it can be determined that the opponent should be the 48th Army of China." The staff officer understood Clark. meaning, continued.

"You mean the Chinese army, a Chinese company, appeared in front of us, is it a coincidence?" Clark asked suspiciously.

"It's not clear yet, but just now Regiment A reported that the enemy used long-range artillery to cover the battlefield where the fire had just been exchanged. The first regiment leader thought that they might have entered the range of the enemy's firepower, so he asked if they could retreat temporarily." The staff officer failed. Giving an answer that satisfies Clark, instead posed a problem for him again.
