Road to Death

Lieutenant General Bloom, at the frontline headquarters of the Oromi Federal Army. He was quite surprised by the current situation of the 006 highland.

"The enemy's resistance was tenacious, and our troops were routed?" Bloom said slowly. "We have invested nearly two battalions of troops. What's the specific situation over there?"

Several of his officers looked at each other and finally whispered to him, "General, the situation over there is not very good."

"Is the situation bad?" General Bloom glanced at him and frowned slightly, "It should be not only bad from your expression, but very bad."

"Yes, General, according to the returns our men have received, we are afraid that one battalion of troops has been annihilated by the enemy. For the other battalion, not many can come back intact.

In addition, the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles equipped with them also lost a lot. "The officer looked at General Bloom with some concern.

"Those mercenaries have joined the war." General Bloom nodded and said, "If it was only with the help of those Anmor's troops, it would not have caused such a heavy loss to us."

The officer whispered, "Yes, General. According to the information we have obtained, the mercenaries of the Trident Military Company are helping to defend this area with the Anmor Army.

006 Heights, on the surface, there is only a battalion-level battle group of the Anmore Army. Actually don't be fooled by their name.

The so-called battalion-level battle group is not actually a battalion of troops. In fact they outnumbered a battalion.

According to our calculations, the total number of a battalion-level battle group should be two to three battalions. And the artillery that is usually assigned to regimental units is assigned to them as well.

This makes one of their battalion-level battle groups have the equivalent of a combat regiment's fire support.

There is also a considerable amount of infantry support weapons. Mainly grenades and mortars, but they also have some anti-armor capabilities. This group of people is not easy to deal with, and a large number of mercenaries are mixed with them. This thing is troublesome. "

General Bloom nodded, "I've heard of these mercenaries and fought against them in the First Anmore War. These people are indeed difficult to deal with. It is said that the Anmore soldiers also passed by them. The training, even if it is not long, is obviously much improved in combat capability than before. Even those in the management committee have suffered from their losses."

The expression of the officer under him changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "General, be careful."

"It's really sad, in my army, can't say what you want to say?" Bloom sighed.

"The general can absolutely believe in our loyalty, but there is really no need for the general to take risks and discuss the people of the management committee." The officer whispered.

"Yes." General Bloom turned to look at the map, "I am determined to win Hill 006. This position is really critical, not only overlooking most of the surrounding area. It will also play a vital role in the entire Battle of Pinestone. ." He rubbed his aching temples and sighed softly.

Even though he knew it was not good, the general still tasted his high-quality coffee with a calm expression, stirred the coffee cup gently, looked at his officers slowly and meaningfully, and said, "Can you tell for sure? Me, what kind of troops are the mercenary groups blocking us? Whose troops are they? What do they want to do?"

The communications officer stood at attention and replied, "Based on the information we have just received. They should be the troops of the Trident Military Company operating with the Anmore Northern Coalition."

General Bloom nodded slightly, put down the coffee cup, stood up slowly, and said slowly: "Who is in command, do you know them?"

The communications officer lowered his head and blushed.

Bloom waved his hand, indicating that he could go out. The communications officer was relieved and hurriedly turned to leave.

General Bloom stood in front of the mirror, slowly put on his white gloves, and at the same time buttoned the top of the straight lieutenant general's uniform, and then carefully pulled the hem of the uniform. Arrange each medal in its place.

Even in the most urgent situation, he will not allow his appearance to be damaged in any way. He hates untidy appearances. Soldiers can't always look dirty, otherwise uniforms will always be a waste to them.

Strictly speaking, the other Orumi Federation troops are just rude militiamen, or just higher-level militiamen, and they want to be the first Confucian general of the Orumi Federation, even in the face of violent storms. It's like a stroll in the garden. Show full self-confidence in front of your subordinates, that is the real wise man.

Bloom thought for a while, looked at his adjutant with a puzzled look, and said, "Who do you think are commanding those mercenaries?"

His adjutant immediately said: "General, you don't have to worry, from what we know. The Trident Company is a very influential military company in Africa, and now it seems to be commanded by a man named Rickline. It is said that This man was born as a mercenary, and he put together a messy army in the poor and backward West Africa region to do some illegal activities secretly.

It is said that this man is a vile villain who is said to have done many vile and shameless things. Including a series of previous operations against us in West Africa. Their troops are just mercenaries tossed by a despicable person and a group of even more despicable people. It's just a mob, there's nothing to worry about."

Bloom asked suspiciously: "Then how did they get mixed up with the Anmor people? And they have thwarted our actions one after another before."

His adjutant's face suddenly became solemn, and he said cautiously: "Mercenaries, wherever there is a war, they will run. I think they must be unable to stay in West Africa. I heard that it is the birthplace of war. Cruel wars are going on every day. Most of them come here because Kassan is paid enough to get some money to live on. If I guess right, they must have nowhere to go.”

"You said they were average in combat, so what's going on this time?" Bloom's eyebrows wrinkled again.

The adjutant said dismissively: "General, I dare to say that our front-line commander must have made a fatal mistake in this operation, which is why he was repelled. I clearly remember that you have reminded him at least three times. , let him act cautiously. I think he must have not obeyed your order and took the risk again. This is God's punishment for him, and it is also a testament to your wisdom, General, let's see who will dare to follow your advice in the future."

Bloom nodded deeply and said with satisfaction: "I did remind him many times that this is what he deserved. Well, no one can stop our progress, we have to teach this group of arrogant rebels a good lesson, I Catch them alive and hang them all on that high ground."

His adjutant immediately flattered and said: "There is no doubt that with our current strength, we can easily surround them and destroy them."

Bloom nodded immediately and said viciously: "We have to surround them all and teach them a lesson! Whether it's those Anmor rebels or some **** mercenaries. The order goes on, and the troops form an encirclement camp. ... besiege them and wipe them all out!"

The adjutant nodded and bowed respectfully, "As ordered, General."

After a slight pause, his adjutant said worriedly: "But does the management committee behind us teach the battalion troops to keep them away from the battlefield?"

This time, Bloom led the Oromi federal army to quickly attack the south of Pine Stone Town, including 24,000 officers and soldiers and all the weapons and equipment. In addition to his own troops, there are more than a hundred large troop transport trucks behind them, which are fully loaded with a full infantry battalion.

This infantry battalion is not an ordinary infantry battalion, but a very big one, and it is a unit directly under the Oromi Federal Management Committee.

Due to the strength of the Federal Management Committee, almost every senior officer of the Oromi Federal Army has served in this infantry division battalion, which is a veritable teaching battalion. Of course, under the halo of so many places, the treatment and weapons and equipment of the officers and soldiers of the teaching battalion are the best, and every soldier is carefully selected. Even Bloom has a lot to say about picking the best troops and equipping them with good weapons.

However, the combat effectiveness of this unit should not be underestimated, and they were present in almost every important battle of the First Anmor War in the past. But Bloom never met the commander of the unit.

This training camp with a special background was originally prepared to be dispatched to the Kem River area to perform combat missions, but due to the current special background and special circumstances, they were also reassigned to the periphery of Songshi Town.

So the adjutant was a little worried. Although he is very good at flattering, but his current position is not all because of his flattery. He still has some knowledge, and knows that the management committee cannot be provoked.

No matter how powerful and indestructible their troops are. No matter how much glory this unit has had in the past, how many people look forward to its bright future.

But in the face of the unfathomable management committee, they are the real three-year-old children, the real lambs to be slaughtered.

But Bloom obviously didn't have such worries. He even wanted to show the demeanor of his ace troop, and said dismissively: "Let them stay there and watch the show! These people on the management committee have always looked down on us. , let them see what we are capable of now! Order all troops, do not leave the battlefield without my order!

Even at some cost, we must take Hill 006! Pass my order, order the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 11th, and 13th companies to concentrate on the 006 height, concentrate firepower to kill the direction of 6 o'clock, cut into the rear of the enemy's position, destroy the enemy's backup, and the rest. The troops, continue to act in accordance with the established battle plan, no matter how much the cost, these enemy troops must be held back! until we complete the encirclement. "

The adjutant nodded in agreement, and went out to deliver the order.

On the evening of the 4th, the Orumi Federation army led by Bloom again launched a fierce attack on the 006 Heights from the south.

The Orumi Federal Army's advance was very fast. They were all under the cover of chariots, and their movements were very agile. The grass and bushes did not pose a threat to them at all. Wearing steel helmets and carrying heavy rifles, they charged straight towards the defensive positions of the Anmor army. It took them less than a few minutes to go from six hundred meters to two hundred meters.

The defensive positions of the Anmor army immediately returned fire.

Anmore's artillery was the first to discover the target through the reconnaissance unit, and was the first to join in the fun. The shells of their 152mm cannons fell on the offensive line of the Oromi federal army, blowing them up and down, and the huge roar also gave the enemy a great psychological shock.

But in all fairness, the effect of this long-distance bombardment is indeed not great. Because the fronts of the two armies are intertwined, the artillery shells have a relatively large deviation from time to time, and even almost landed on the Anmore army's position. Later, Anmore took the initiative to stop this useless shelling.

What really worked were the mortars set up near the 006 heights, and they had already measured the firing distance. Just shoot by the data. The explosive power of the mortar shell is of course not comparable to that of the 152mm cannon, but it has a fast firing speed and dense shells, which has caused a lot of damage to the advancing Oromi Federation officers and soldiers, creating several "roads of death". In the middle and on both sides of these roads, there are dense **** mutilated enemy corpses and destroyed vehicles.

However, a considerable number of Orumi Federation troops rushed to the front of the Anmor Army's position, and the Anmor Army's light and heavy machine guns fired together.

Those concealed firepower points that were deployed in advance really produced great lethality. Under the power of cross-fire, as long as the soldiers of the Orumi Federation army were hit, they would either fall down on the spot, or their whole bodies would be torn to shreds and never again. No one can move forward with an injury. Especially if it was hit by a heavy machine gun, it would be torn to pieces on the spot. The blood that had never happened before deeply shocked everyone, but the effect was indeed so remarkable.

The Orumi Federation Army, which was advancing like a wave, seemed to have encountered the rebound of a powerful spring in front of the Anmor Army's position, and could not advance half a step at all. But they are still attacking forcefully, even if they fall down.

The battle situation was stalemate, but Lin Rui's heart was tightly grasped. He has been constantly collecting information from the front line at the headquarters, while constantly exchanging opinions with the actuary Kangishi, Kassan and others. The situation is now more difficult than before.

No one thought that Bloom would have such a great determination to take the 006 high ground. To this end, he did not hesitate to use almost two-thirds of his troops. He had to use the sea tactics to squeeze the Anmore army from the 006 high ground. go down.
