A Mercenary’s War
v1 Chapter 609: Initiative
With the armed helicopter in his hand, Gao Yang has mastered the initiative on the battlefield.
In combat, it is crucial to be able to move freely according to your own intentions and maintain the initiative on the battlefield.
Whether it is a battle to promote them as a small team, or a battle to command a large army, victory is achieved only after mastering the initiative.
At the beginning, the initiative is mastered, and then the initiative is turned into victory. At the beginning, if the initiative is not mastered, then find a way to hold the initiative in your own hands.
Sometimes, the initiative will change hands only because of a piece of equipment. Before the helicopter gunship arrived, they were passive. Although they were superior in strength and strength, the British had tanks and arranged minefields to promote them. In fact, there is no way to take the opponent. Although the British paid some price, they could attack if they wanted to attack, they could suffer if they wanted to, they could just leave if they wanted to leave.
But after the gunship arrived, the British could only defend, and it was dead. The chance to attack and even retreat was gone.
Armed helicopters have a very strong role, but if there are only two, they can reasonably gain a great advantage, but they cannot yet obtain this decisive advantage. After all, armed helicopters can carry limited ammunition. After fighting, the total It is impossible to kill the enemy all at once.
If it is a real army fighting, in the face of an unfavorable situation, it is also necessary to stick to the scalp and pay some life for victory in exchange for initiative. This is normal,
The problem is, the British are mainly mercenaries and pirates. Who should attack at any cost? Used up the helicopter's ammunition. Even the remaining people will surely kill all the enemies. But who is willing to die?
No one is a fool. No one is willing to trade his own life in exchange for others' victory. Therefore, the British can only stay in the city of Gaisalai and wait, and the battlefield initiative suddenly reaches high hands.
Now the challenge before Gao Yang is how to solve the minefield outside Gaisale.
Justin said that he must be able to get a minefield map, but it will take time, and Gao Yang does not know whether he can wait for that minefield map.
The initiative on the battlefield is because he has armed helicopters, but the enemy does not. But Gao Yang knew that the British helicopters were also on the way. If the enemy's gunships had arrived, the initiative would probably change hands again, so he had to get the British before the enemy helicopters arrived.
Taking advantage of the temporary full grasp of the initiative, Gao Yang gathered several key command tasks together and discussed how to launch a full-scale offensive.
Sitting on a seat made of artillery shells, looking at the map in front of him, raising his eyebrows tightly, wondering how to break through the enemy's defense line.
Gessale has been surrounded. Gao Yang can attack from any direction, including the sea. But the problem lies in the minefields, there are mines, even if he can make a ruthless order to let the soldiers force the attack, but it is hard to say whether those soldiers can do it.
Landing operations from the sea may be feasible. Gao Yang is considering this plan. Gesalé is built almost along the coast. The distance from the disembarkation to the scattered buildings is less than one hundred meters. It is unlikely that the British will mine on the beach Even if it was mined on the beach, the depth would not be too great. It was just that in the landing battle, the other three directions could not be supported. It is really difficult to say whether it could succeed.
If Gao Yang had a mine-clearing vehicle, even if there was only one, he would dare to force him into Gaisale, but he now has absolutely no way to mine-clear.
Gao Yang actually mastered two safety routes. He remembered clearly the routes that the enemy tanks and armored vehicles rushed out. There will be no landmines on these two safety routes. If you want to force it in, the price will not be small.
After thinking for a long time, Gao Yang smashed his hand on the shell box and said: "Two-pronged approach, attack from the sea and the known safe passage at the same time, what do you think?"
Grolyov stood beside Gao Yang and nodded, "This is the only way. We have artillery and armed helicopters to suppress the fire. Even if we forcibly attack, we can score!"
Ulyanko is also there. As an arms supplier, especially as a pilot who wants to directly participate in the war, it is necessary for him to understand the entire plan and the tasks he undertakes.
After seeing several attack points drawn by Gao Yang on the map, Uliyenko smiled: "Why do we have to attack?" Or simply flattened Gaisale with heavy artillery. As long as you want, I can immediately find 122mm and 152mm cannons for you. Of course, using human life to fill it is definitely a more cost-effective way. Only life. "
Uliyenko is right. Somalia is valuable except human life.
Gao Yang doesn't want to take people's lives to fill in. If there are any choices, he will definitely choose to spend more and die less, but the problem is that he doesn't want to lose this battle.
Gao Yang sighed and said, "I know you can send cannons, and I want to directly bombard Gaisale, but I'm afraid that time will be too late. If the enemy helicopters arrive, our advantage will be lost. "
Uliyanke laughed: "Relax, although you didn't say, but I brought you anti-aircraft weapons, just on our ship, there are anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, even if the British sent armed helicopters And do n’t worry too much. ”
Ulyanko is an arms dealer. He definitely hopes that the battle can be upgraded again so that he can sell more things, but Gao Yang can't let Ulyanko mean to let the arms dealer decide the way and the battle. Progress, the day when this battle will never end.
He shook his head and said in a loud voice: "Forget it, I still have to finish the battle according to the normal mode. Today, our supply ship will be able to arrive, and your ship will also be able to arrive. So, I decided, tomorrow Launch a general attack. "
Polovic sucked his mouth and said, "Actually, I have a better idea. Why not wait for the British arms ship to attack before it arrives?"
Gao Yang's face suddenly became dark, and Polovic didn't change his tone. When the British arsenal arrived, he would attack again, but whoever had the stronger weapon might not be sure. If he attacked again, wouldn't it be death.
Gao Yang didn't have to listen to Ulyanko and Polovic, so he chose to listen to Polovic when he didn't hear Polovic's words and was planning to order the Skeleton Gang to complete the preparation for the main attack. : "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about letting the British take the weapons and start the war, but why don't we just attack after their arms ship arrives?"
Gao Yang couldn't help but say: "Is there a difference?"
Polovic nodded and said, "Of course, I think so. Since you control the sea, why don't we wait for their ship to arrive after we have hijacked their ship, you have to know Djo Mather The helicopters sent are not ready for battle. They brought the helicopters, you grab them, and I can buy them at a high price, and this is a fighting behavior, not robbed by pirates, the helicopters are lost, those British people have to Lose money to Djo Massel, you do n’t have to worry about Djo Mather ’s revenge, it ’s so good. ”
Gao Yang moved his heart for less than a second, then shook his head and said: "It is impossible, the risk is too great, and the British are not disconnected from their fleet, they will definitely notify the ship that sent the helicopter to be careful, we can The probability of successful shipjacking is too small. "
It ’s normal to make a fortune in war, but Gao Yang does n’t want to give up the hard-won initiative for a thing with a low probability of success. Polovic is an arms dealer. The first consideration is how to make money. When Gao Yang considers how to win the battle, of course it is best to make a fortune, but it must not be lost because of a small one.
The British are now surrounded in the city of Gaisalle, but they will definitely not sit still and there will be reinforcements to come. This is certain, otherwise all these people will die in Gaisalle, and those Britons cannot afford this loss, The only question is when they will arrive.
Gao Yang was too late to grab time. How could he waste time trying to grab something. If it weren't for the lack of artillery shells and the helicopters had no ammunition, he wanted to start attacking immediately.
Having made up his mind, and the rest of it need not be said, Gao Yang immediately said to Ulyanko: "After your oil and ammunition are delivered today, you will be ready to dispatch as soon as possible."
Uliyenko nodded and said, "Of course ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ As soon as it arrives, it will be prepared, and now only wait for the ship to arrive."
Gao Yang nodded, when the attack was launched depends on when the logistics ship arrived, and the time is not yet legal, so he did not say much, just looked at Zhou Zhoudao: "If the ship sent shells, you have more Ready for a long time? Do I need to move forward? "
Although Zhou Zhou was still there, he kept silent. He just listened to others saying that after Gao Yang asked him, Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "The shells are a problem of being transported from the ship and distributed, as long as there is no interference, It does n’t take long. As for the position of the position, it ’s better to move forward. The range of the mortar is enough, but the recent response will be more timely and the shot will be more accurate. Now we are not afraid that the enemy will attack. Move forward. "
Gao Yang nodded and said: "Okay, the artillery is responsible, I won't ask more, you can figure it out for yourself, and be ready to notify me."
At this moment, Gao Yang's phone rang and looked at the call from Justin. Gao Yang walked away. After connecting, he heard Justin's anxious but self-satisfied saying: "British minefield distribution I know!"
Hi from the sky, knowing the distribution of the enemy's minefields, so that Gao Yang can completely grasp the initiative. (To be continued ...)
