Chapter 49: Sending Information
It was already dark, and the soldiers were scattered in groups in the mountain stream. The battalion commander of the 34th Regiment of the 7th Red Army Division followed the deputy battalion commander in a hidden place, the instructor and the following company commanders discussed the next action plan together.
"Battery Commander~" Suddenly, a warrior shouted along the sound from outside the hidden place.
"What about this!"
The battalion commander showed his head and greeted him in a low voice. The top soldier who had been back from the observation post ran quickly into the hidden place. Before he could speak, he picked up the battalion commander's kettle, shook it twice and found that there was water inside, unscrewed the lid and raised his head and started to pour it.
The battalion commander knew that the soldier must have been thirsty and would not urge him. He waited until he drank the water from the kettle and asked, "What's the situation?"
The top soldier couldn't control himself and drank the kettle. He wiped his mouth a little embarrassedly before speaking: "Battery Commander, our squad leader and I just found a lot of helicopters flying towards the C9 area in the woods. We didn't count them too clearly, but there were about fifty."
"More than fifty aircraft? Have you seen it clearly?" the battalion commander asked in surprise.
"That's right." The soldier nodded and said, "When I counted to twenty, they flew far away, and almost half of them were still in a hurry to count."
"What are you doing with so many helicopters?" The battalion commander did not ask whether it was the Blue or Red, because he knew that there were probably not fifty helicopters added to the Red Party's helicopters this time.
"Can it be the Blue Army's special forces come to us to carry out the "decapitation" operation, or destroy an important target or something."
The Soldier who came to report the situation was a novel fan. He reads many military-themed novels. Since he knew that the Blue Army had special forces involved this time, he has been wondering whether the other party would send special forces to directly enter the heartland of the Red Army like in the novel.
"Not to say it, it's hard to say. With the Blue Party's transmission ability and maneuverability, it seems that there is no need to use so many helicopters to deliver things to the front line. So most of the helicopters were heading for us, and maybe there were really special forces inside." After hearing the baseless words of the top corps, a company commander nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether the speculations of the corporal and the company commander were made, as an isolated army that had cut off external contacts, they could not do anything.
The battalion commander thought for a moment, picked up the kettle of the deputy battalion commander, took half a bag of field dry food and a box of canned food and handed it to the corps and said, "I know the situation, go back and continue to be alert."
"Yes!" The top soldier responded after taking the water and food, and then hugged and ran out.
The battalion commander originally thought that the information sent by the top corps just now was of no practical use, but about ten minutes later, another observation post from a further location sent someone back to deliver the information.
This time, a soldier was responsible for sending back the information. After rushing into the hidden place, he spoke without breathing evenly: "Battlefield, battalion commander, we just..., we heard it on the roadside and heard the Blue Army talking."
"Don't worry, take a breath." The instructor said, unscrewed the lid of his kettle and handed it to the panting private.
The Private took the kettle and drank it in one breath like the veteran just now before he recovered.
After organizing the language, he spoke again: "We observed the post. Two Blue Army vehicles stopped just now. The people above came down to pee. The squad leader and I heard an officer inside say something: "The helicopter we just went over was a continental aviation regiment of the Special Operations Brigade, and it should be a special operation brigade dispatched."
Then another man who couldn't see the military rank clearly said, "Have you found the Red Party's command center?"
Then the officer who spoke at the beginning said: 'Even if the target is not the Red Party Command, I will find some important facilities in the Red Party. It will definitely be lively tonight.'"
"Just hear this?" The battalion commander stopped talking when he saw the soldier saying this and asked afterwards.
"That's all, then they got into the car and left after they peed." The Private replied.
"Did you see helicopters flying over or hear sounds?" asked the battalion commander.
"I didn't look." The privateer shook his head, thought for a while and said, "But before the two cars came, it would take five or six minutes. I heard a very noisy sound from afar, like the sound of an engine, but it was different from the sound of an ordinary big car. Maybe it was the sound of a helicopter."
"Okay, you have a rest first." The battalion commander did not ask the soldier to return to the observation post to continue surveillance, but turned to ask the others in the hidden room: "What do you think."
Hearing the battalion commander's question, a captain spoke: "I think the Blue Army officer must have a certain understanding of his own troops. He said that those helicopters are special combat brigades should have a basis. So his judgment has great reference value. If you don't know what the helicopters are equipped with the Blue Army Special Operations Brigade, you can go to our command or other important targets."
The battalion commander nodded, looked at the others and asked, "What do you think?"
The others in the hidden room looked at each other and nodded in agreement with what the captain said before.
After hearing everyone's opinions, the battalion commander fell into silence. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly raised his head: "Deputy Battalion Commander, instructor, I have an idea, which may sound a bit crazy."
"You said." The instructor said very simply.
"Our battalion is already trapped here, and tomorrow or tonight will be discovered by the Blue Army at any time. And with our battalion's mobility and firepower, it is difficult to make anything happen in the Blue Army's circle." The battalion commander said this while scanning the people in the hidden place.
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement with their opinions, we continued: "Now we have a judgment on the team of helicopters that passed by about half an hour ago based on the known situation. Although this judgment may not be accurate, even if one-tenth of the chance is the truth, we must find a way to send this situation out."
"Battery Commander, what you mean is that we try our best to touch our control area. If we really want to be discovered, we will break through with all our strength. Even if we can run back alone, we can bring the information back?" a company commander asked.
"But no one knows the location of our regiment and other friendly forces now. Even if a few people rushed back and found the troops, it would probably be too late to send the information out." The deputy battalion commander spoke out about the difficulties.
"So what I mean is, we don't rush together." After hearing the deputy battalion commander's words, the battalion commander said something that everyone was not very easy to understand. Seeing everyone looking at him, he explained: "I want to tell every soldier below our guesses and then send all the food reserves.
After eating and drinking, everyone scattered their rush. The destination was C7, C8, and C9. There was no restriction on the specific situation. The purpose was to find our own troops and send the situation out.
Vehicles are rushing to vehicles, infantry are rushing to infantry. In this way, vehicles can attract the attention of the troops around the Blue Army in the first stage. Then the soldiers running all over the mountain will be attracted by the discovery. As long as there are many groups and everyone runs fast and scattered enough, there will always be people breaking through the Blue Army's defense line and rushing back to find their own people."
After the battalion commander said that, everyone in the hidden yard was shocked, thinking that no wonder the battalion commander himself said that his method was a bit crazy. However, everyone calmed down and thought carefully, and suddenly felt that it might be really good to follow this method.
Everyone knows that the Blue side has not sufficient troops, but its reconnaissance ability is strong and its mobility is good. Therefore, a battalion-level infantry unit is rushing in a group, and is very likely to be stopped and destroyed.
But there are nearly 500 soldiers in a battalion. If two people are in a group, they are divided into more than 200 small targets. As long as they spread out quickly enough, they should not be surrounded by the Blue Party. Even if each team is detected, the Blue Party will not be able to divide more than 200 arrest teams to chase after them. In this way, many groups may run back to their own occupied areas. The more groups run back, the greater the chance of finding their own troops as soon as possible.
Then the news that the Blue Army Special Operations Brigade may invade will be greater.
Soon, the soldiers who were resting in the mountain stream were gathered together according to the size of the company. While eating the food they distributed, everyone listened to their respective company commanders assigning tasks.
Fifteen minutes later, all the soldiers of this battalion ran together in groups in the night, heading towards C7, C8, and C9, and ran all over the mountain.
Soon, the distance between the groups became farther and farther, and gradually disappeared into the vast mountains.
At this time, the armored regiment hidden in the C4 area began to assemble again, because just now, a Blue Army reconnaissance plane flew over the hidden area of the armored regiment. And one minute later, the reconnaissance plane turned back, flew over the hidden area again and left.
Based on this situation, everyone can guess that the hidden location of the troops has been exposed.
Sure enough, after several transits in the middle, the observation posts at the farthest south and southeast sides were sent back one after another - they found that the Blue Army was approaching.
