Chapter 394: The Battle of Wealth!!
The command post of the 4th Combined Battalion was assembled by connecting two standard field tents together, and the top of the tent was covered with a jungle camouflage net for anti-aircraft mutant beasts.
Four standard camouflage nets were combined into one. After covering the entire battalion command post, the excess part was propped up with extended net supporters to form a safe activity area outside the command post.
The cadres and soldiers went in and out of the camouflage net, just like walking in the jungle!
In order to pursue better concealment, the soldiers of the battalion command squad also used ground nails + net supports to fix the camouflage net into irregular shapes, making the battalion command post located in a green field almost integrated with nature.
In the battalion command post, there are two large screens at the front. One of them displays the regional map of Mengkai Township, including administrative units such as villages and streets, as well as transportation routes such as township roads and county roads.
The other large screen is divided into 6 split screens, and the images displayed on each split screen are real-time images transmitted back by military drones that are carrying out reconnaissance missions.
In the middle of the command post is a sand table of the entire Mengkai Township that is half the size of a billiard table. This sand table was built by the platoon leader of the battalion headquarters and two soldiers in nearly three hours.
It is something that is rarely used but indispensable. Logically speaking, Mengkai Township is not worthy of using this sand table, but Li Kun is!
When a new battalion commander takes office, he naturally wants to make the best impression by looking good and being professional!
In addition to the above two parts, there is also a combat meeting area and a command communication area in the command tent.
At this time, Li Kun was sitting with his legs crossed on a field chair in the combat meeting area, listening to the situation report from Deputy Battalion Commander Chang Zhigang together with Zhao Gang.
"Reporting to the battalion commander, based on the actual combat experience of our brother units, our 4th Combined Battalion has divided the entire battalion into three combat teams. Combat Team 1 is composed of the 1st Infantry Company and the 1st Tank Company. Combat Team 2 is composed of the 2nd Infantry Company and the 2nd Tank Company. Combat Team 3 is composed of a separate armored infantry company!"
"Now, the first, second and third combat teams have all arrived at the designated attack locations: Yangzhong Village, Xinzhuang Village and Chenliang Village!"
Hearing this, Li Kun nodded slightly. He had already read the detailed information of Mengkai Township on the way here.
Mengkai Township has a total area of 68.29 square kilometers and a total population of just over people, who are mainly concentrated in Yangzhong Village, Xinzhuang Village, Chenliang Village and other areas centered on Mengkai Street.
As for other natural administrative villages such as Sujiazhai and Lihuazhai, the population is very small, and it is estimated that there are only a few hundred permanent residents.
Ye Province is a province with a large number of migrant workers, and outside the Chinese New Year period, there are not many people in these natural villages.
Therefore, it is definitely correct to directly attack the densely populated area of Mengkai Township, which is the most efficient way. As for the remote villages mentioned above, Li Kun will most likely choose to give up.
A minor illness is not worth wasting time on.
Li Kun had no objection to the organization of combat personnel, although he liked to find new ways to fight and had his own set of methods.
But the problem is that he has no actual combat experience at the battalion level, so instead of making blind changes, it is better to directly copy the successful cases of brother units.
The combination of armored units and infantry units, although not fully adapted to all situations in the stream area, can at least be stable!
When you have absolute strength, it is wise to "build a strong base and fight a stupid battle" step by step. Taking risky actions on the battlefield is a helpless act.
Knowing this clearly, Li Kun would not put the cart before the horse and immediately promote his personal style!
Stay still and don’t wave!
"Where is the artillery unit?" Li Kun asked about the unit he was most concerned about.
It is hard to imagine that Li Kun, who came from an armored infantry company, loves the artillery unit rather than the armored unit the most!
In fact, he has been coveting the artillery unit for a long time!
What man doesn’t like something big and thick?
Even a woman can't refuse, right? ?
"The artillery unit has been deployed in the General Rock area, about one kilometer east of the command post!"
"General Rock?"
Although Li Kun had been working in an armored infantry company before, he knew all the parameters of the Type 05 120mm self-propelled mortar by heart.
"The range is 8.5 kilometers, and the distance from Jiangjunyan to Mengkai Street is about five kilometers..."
Seeing Li Kun muttering to himself while comparing the map, Chang Zhigang spoke at the right time:
"Report to the battalion commander, the artillery company is set up in Jiangjunyan to ensure full coverage of the central area of Mengkai Township!"
"Okay! How many base quantities of ammunition have the troops prepared?"
"Currently, three base loads of ammunition have arrived, and two more base loads of ammunition are being transported!"
Upon hearing this, Li Kun's eyes immediately lit up!
"That means that the estimated target for the attack on Mengguan Township this time is five bases of ammunition, right?"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Okay, okay! Hahaha~"
"The commander really didn't treat me, Old Li, unfairly. The first time I became a battalion commander, I fought a rich battle for Old Li!!"
The entire Mengkai Township has a total population of only 2 people, and the number of zombies is estimated to be less than . Excluding the remote natural villages, there may be less than zombies in the central area of Mengkai Township.
5 bases of ammunition VS less than zombies?
Li Kun directly retreated tactically. What the hell is this if not a battle of wealth? ?
"Hahaha, since the leader is so generous, we, Old Li, can't be stingy! Deputy Battalion Commander!"
"Here!" Chang Zhigang's expression became serious and he stood up immediately.
"Please remember this. I will make the following arrangements now!"
"Order the artillery company. Before the battle to retake the city begins, first drop three base-level artillery shells into the center of Mengkai Township to test the waters!"
"Yes!"
"At the same time, order the first, second and third teams to attack immediately as soon as the bombardment stops!"
"There are about 20,000 zombies. There is no need to conduct mass rape. After carpet bombing, the ground forces will directly attack!"
"Although our Fourth Battalion arrives last, we must also strive to be the first and try to capture two towns before launching a general attack on the center of the Creek District, right?"
"Yes!"
Li Kun raised his hand and looked at his watch
15:37
"I'll give you enough time. The artillery unit will launch the bombardment on time at 15:50. Before that, order the drone team to inform the survivors of Mengkai Township in advance to avoid the bombardment!"
There are definitely survivors in Mengkai Township, but I don’t think there are many…
According to the latest instructions from the Provincial Military District Command, all front-line troops must end the fighting in the Xishui area except the central area before midnight tomorrow, and then begin preparing for the next stage of the general offensive!
Combat units must obey the overall strategy and keep up with the pace of war, so even though Li Kun knew that direct bombardment would cause accidental casualties, all he could do was to notify them in advance.
The rest depends on fate...
"Yes!"
As Li Kun's order was quickly conveyed, the entire 4th Combined Battalion, a new fighting machine, immediately started moving!
.......
After receiving the order, the gun barrels of the Jiangjunyan artillery position slowly moved and finally pointed in the direction of Mengkai Street!
everything's ready!
