Battlefield Contractor
Chapter 5864: counter-offensive
Counterattack troops
The sky was still so gloomy, as if it was about to rain, but it never rained. The air was hot and humid, as if it was about to wring out water. It seems that because of the rapid arrival of the Anmor army troops, the sky looks even darker, and there is a feeling that the mountains and the rain are coming and the building is full of wind.
Suddenly, a wind blew up, and the strong wind swept up all the dead branches and leaves on the ground into the sky, and then threw them down violently, shrouding the sky and the earth in a desolation. The flag of the northern coalition in Anmore and the flag of the Orumi Federation fluttering in the city were also blown by the strong wind, as if the drums of war were about to be beaten.
The strong wind brings a cool breath to the earth. Although the wind blowing on one's cheeks is basically sultry, it can take away more heat after all. However, no one felt that their hearts began to calm down. On the contrary, many people felt more arrogant and restless in their hearts.
Including Claude and other battle-hardened generals, they all felt that today's weather was unusually abnormal, as if it was going to suffocate people, and the sudden arrival of the gust of wind had an extremely bad omen.
Ankewei was built around the hillside behind the city, and many soldiers could be stationed in the city. Facing the sudden arrival of the Anmor army troops, Claude, Atley and others did not dare to take it lightly. Under the orders of the two of them, they all gathered their own elites, entered the position, and waited in full force. At the same time, a large number of reserve teams also began to gather on the streets of the city.
"It's Anmore's mechanized troop." Claude said with a frown, his face a little blue.
The expressions of the other generals became unusually solemn.
In the army establishment of the Anmore Army, there are two regiments of armored units. One regiment was directly commanded by Kassan, the other was less clear. The Anmor army troops that suddenly came outside were exactly Anmor's armored troops. This unit is almost all armored vehicles. It has always been known for its speed. It not only moves fast, but also fights fast and cleans the battlefield fast. It is definitely the fist force of the Anmore Army Army, known as the Prairie Cheetah.
This force is here, and no one knows their true purpose, which is all the more worrying.
Although I intuitively feel that the troops of the Anmor army will not launch a siege battle head-on. But Claude didn't dare to be 100% sure.
In his in-depth research, the Anmore Army is a very strange force. Sometimes they appear very mature and calm, but sometimes they appear very impulsive and arrogant, and it is difficult to **** their behavior. Everything is difficult to speculate with common sense. Especially those mercenaries have a deep influence on the Anmor army, and there are often strange soldiers. This is not a good thing for them, but for their enemies. It doesn't seem to be a good thing either, because his behavior is difficult to judge with ordinary people's psychology.
Lin Rui was on one of the armored vehicles, raised his binoculars, and roughly swept the Oromi Federation troops in the distance. Judging from the density and distribution of the personnel, my good fellow, there are 20,000 to 30,000 troops gathered in this small city, and I don't know what these guys are doing here.
He didn't know that the generals of the Orumi Federal Army were meeting here and gathered the highest generals in the city, so although he felt a little strange, he didn't take it to heart. He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers under his command to move forward, further threatening An Kewei.
However, Lin Rui was not ready to attack Ankewei City.
This unit of his is not used to attack fortifications, so he will not do such thankless things, especially the mechanized troops known for their speed. His idea is to go deep behind the enemy's back, harass the enemy as much as possible, destroy the enemy's war resources, intercept enemy reinforcements, find opportunities to annihilate the enemy's headquarters, and so on.
To put it simply, it is to make Ankewei a mess, so that the army of the Orumi Federation Army is in a panic, and it is impossible to launch an effective counterattack against the Anmor army.
Putting down the telescope coldly, Lin Rui ordered the troops to move forward.
The security forces quickly opened the cordon, the machine guns of the armored vehicles stood by, and the machine gunners also set up light machine guns to prevent the counterattack of Ankewei's enemies.
However, Claude did not order the troops in the city to attack, because the Orumi Federal Army troops in the city were all infantry, and ordered the infantry to charge the enemy's armored troops. On such a vast plain, using infantry against chariot troops was no different from suicide. .
Chariot troops are best dealt with by chariot troops, this is the iron law of the battlefield.
In the surrounding area of Ankewei, there are two armored units belonging to the Orumi Federal Army, one is the army under Claude, with a strength of about 6,000; the other is the local army of Atley, They are equipped with certain armed vehicles, and the strength is about 4,000 people.
"To mobilize our troops to deal with the armored vehicles of the Anmore Army 1 Claude akimbo and rhetoric. He is so confident in his elite troops that he is determined to crush the advance of the Anmore Army. Armored troops It is the most elite army of the Orumi Federation, and the soldiers trained by the Federal Management Committee. They will definitely attract the attention of people all over the world in this battle.
Claude is confident that this unit will go down in history for today's battle.
"Atley, you take the lead first, test the enemy, and then Claude said in a low voice, his voice seemed very majestic.
Atley hesitated for a moment, obviously reluctant. The troop under his command was already his last mobile force, and he didn't want to lose any more, but Claude kept his word. He likes to act arbitrarily, and the combat power of the army in his hand is unparalleled. If he messes with him, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat, so he does not dare to neglect and dawdled for a while. Still gave the order to attack.
The weather in the afternoon became more gloomy and sultry.
Both Atley and Claude are carefully calculating the time, calculating the time when their troops arrive on the battlefield.
Lin Rui was drinking in the car while waiting for the arrival of the enemy. He also had a feeling that behind this apparent calm, there were great waves hidden, and maybe the next moment would be an earth-shattering war.
At 1:20 in the afternoon, the last two armoured vehicle squads of the Anmore army trudged across the nearby river. The river is preparing to enter the winter, the water volume is greatly reduced, and the river flows very gently. The river is not deep, and armored vehicles can just cross it. But the two armored vehicle teams were in charge of the rear of the palace. When they pushed the vehicles into the river, they discovered that the riverbed had been ruined by the brothers walking in front. In the middle of the river, some vehicles almost fell into a deep pit. Fortunately, the armored vehicles next to them used winches and anchor cables to prevent the vehicles from falling into the muddy water. Even so, it took some time.
The leader of the two squads was a young Anmore officer, only in his twenties, a cousin of Kassan. He is stocky and sturdy, and his skin looks very dark and bright due to long-term exposure. Sweat can't stay on it, and as soon as it seeps out, it drips down, because the skin is too smooth. He is not afraid of the sky, not the earth, not afraid of death, not afraid of being tired, but he is a little afraid of water.
It's no wonder that the desert area where he lived since he was a child has always lacked water. Many of the Anmor people who have lived there for generations have never seen a larger river in their lives. At most, I have only seen a few small rivers, let alone the sea.
As for swimming, the word was never in their dictionary. It was only after he walked out of the desert area that he realized that the skill of swimming still existed in the world. In the eyes of these Anmor people, the feeling of galloping on horseback is better than soaking in water.
"It would be really bad if you died in this river. You didn't go to the last swimming training class, you really want to be beaten. I think if Kassan finds out, the military police will definitely take you into custody. Go into the swimming pool. I won't let you out if you don't drink enough water." Another older officer whispered. This young man is brave, shrewd, honest and honest, but he is a little stubborn. If he doesn't learn to swim, he doesn't know how to swim. No one can do anything about him.
After finally getting ashore, the troops checked their equipment and vehicles. They were sure that there was nothing serious, so they hurriedly chased after the troops in front.
These two people are not only the team leaders, but also the first-generation officers newly trained by the Anmore Army.
The troops of the Anmore Army launched sporadic shootings and shelling around Ankewei.
Lin Rui deliberately wanted to tease the enemy. Stimulate the enemy and let them taste the suffocating feeling that they can only be beaten but can't fight back. If the defenders inside can't bear it and open the city gate and rush to attack, then they just fell into his arms, and he will definitely use the intensive The long-range firepower taught them well.
Several other mercenaries were standing on the car a little excited. Looking at the situation ahead. Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly. He could only hear the dull gunshots. The city in the distance seemed to be empty. It seemed that the enemies were hiding behind the bunkers. I could still see dozens of flags of various colors flying there, but now I can't see anything. Thinking about it, it should have been brought down by the brothers who were like gods. The military flag with the broken flagpole fell from the top of the city and scattered on the roots of the city wall in a mess.
The young officer couldn't help but gear up, eager to try, really want to rush to the front. Showing his marksmanship in person, he is confident that he can also interrupt the enemy's flagpole at a distance of 300 meters. He has been in the army for several years, and this is the first time he has participated in combat. He can't wait to express himself, eager to kill the enemy and make merit.
Since entering Ankewei, they have not had the chance to meet the enemy face to face along the way. They are always responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and taking cover in the rear. The front was lively and lively, but the back was deserted. The young man kept thinking, if only until the war was over. If you don't even have a chance to get a medal, you will have no face to go home to visit relatives.
In the Anmore area, that family doesn't have a good man to join the army. If you can't even get a military medal, alas, my father and mother will be shameless!
In troubled times, military merit comes first. Of course, Kassan would not forget the experience that our ancestors had summed up with thousands of years of blood and sweat, so the military exploits of the Anmor army were also very important, surpassing all other exploits. Military merit is the real glory of the soldiers of the Anmor army. Soldiers who have obtained military merit can gain a great reputation themselves, and their families can also gain considerable benefits.
Lin Rui turned a blind eye to everything in front of him and closed his eyes alone to rest. He waved to the convoy, motioning them to wait to save fuel.
The young officer hurriedly jumped out of the car and apologized to Lin Rui. I was so eager to participate in the battle that I forgot the basic formation of the armored troops. He looked around, and the soldiers who were at the back had all gotten out of the car, observing the harassment battle in front of him. Most of the fighters were checking and preparing their weapons.
Lin Rui said: "Be vigilant, the battle will come at any time."
As if to confirm his words, suddenly, in the east of Ankewei, there was a dense sound of engines.
Immediately, the sharp whistle of the guard whistle sounded, and the sound of the guard gun sounded.
The Anmor army soldiers who got on and off the armored vehicle hurriedly opened the door and flew up. When their action was completed, Lin Rui and your other mercenary soldiers had also entered the car steadily. The machine gunner of the armored car was also loaded with bullets from the heavy machine gun on the roof.
The young officer was a little excited, his face flushed slightly, and his eyes were eagerly looking at the direction of the sound of the vehicle. Although I couldn't see the enemy's movements, judging from the sound of the horse's hoofs, the number of enemy troops was quite large. Since entering Ankewei, the troops of the Anmor Army have never encountered enemy troops, so no major battles have broken out. Now that the enemy's army has finally appeared, does it mean that a fierce battle is coming?
The Military Medal is here! This young man's thoughts are really simple.
Lin Rui turned his head to look at the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Calm down, don't get excited."
The young officer nodded in understanding, but wanted him to calm down completely, but he couldn't. This was the first large-scale operation of the newly formed armored force, and the first real battle since he joined the army.
He has to prove his abilities in battle. Otherwise, the opportunity will never come again. Because of excessive excitement and hope, he tightly squeezed the telescope in his hand. From time to time, his right hand touched the pistol on his waist.
When Officer Anmore excitedly expected to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, Atley's troops came behind, numbering about 4,000.
Lin Rui ordered the six companies in the front to block the enemy from the front, while the three companies in the back tried to outflank the enemy.
