Tang Zheng was sitting in the Humvee, and the large army rumbled forward beside him.
His field troops no longer need to walk, they all board vehicles.
After he established an armored battalion, his armored vehicles were assigned to field troops.
Two armored vehicles can carry a platoon of soldiers.
There were also military trucks accompanying them, and some soldiers carrying heavy firepower rode in military trucks.
For example, flamethrower warriors, heavy machine gun combat groups, etc.
In addition, they were accompanied by motorcycles, jeeps and other vehicles. In this way, the entire army did not need to walk. The current field battalion can actually be called a mechanized infantry battalion.
There are also heavy-duty flatbed trucks, carrying tanks one after another, following the troops.
Setting off early in the morning, at nine o'clock in the morning, the troops were less than fifty kilometers away from Mangye Town.
In the Hummer, Tang Zheng leaned on the seat and looked at the radar screen in the system.
On the radar screen, the alliance's layout and the basic situation of Mangye Town can be seen.
The area of Mangye Town is already outside the radar exploration range of Chasing Light City, which is transmitted back from the perspective of the war eagle.
It's just that this kind of picture is not as clear as the radar exploration. You can only see the approximate layout. It is not like the radar screen. It is clear how many light spots represent how many people there are. There are many things that need to be analyzed. Zheng made his own judgment.
"Xie Jinshan's layout seems to be good this time. This position has strategic depth and a lot of fortifications. The command post is in the cave behind, which can withstand artillery bombardment and air attacks."
"As long as he doesn't come out of the cave, it will be difficult to carry out the beheading operation. If we want to attack the command post, we have to make a frontal breakthrough, or make a sneak attack from behind enemy lines, or swim across the river with arms."
"But there are corpses on the other side of the river, and the command post has also set up a beachhead, so armed swimming is not feasible."
"Furthermore, this guy also arranged his armored units and artillery units inside the position, which greatly increases the defensive power of the position and makes a frontal breakthrough difficult."
"How afraid is he of our Light Chasing Army, which has 20,000 troops, and yet it is still so shrinking."
Tang Zheng was also a little speechless at Xie Jinshan's actions, but he had to admit that although this method was stupid, it was the most effective against his own side.
The opponent's tanks, armored vehicles, etc. are all hidden in several kilometers of defensive positions, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult for the attacking side to attack.
At first, Tang Zheng was still thinking whether Xie Jinshan's side would sneak attack while he was marching, but now it seemed that he was overthinking it and the other party had no such intention.
Tang Zheng still wanted to study the map carefully and check the alliance's weaknesses, but the war eagle suddenly moved.
Someone shot at the war eagle!
Fortunately, the shot was not fatal. The war eagle flapped its wings and quickly flew away from the area.
But the picture no longer shoots the alliance base, but returns here.
Ning Yuwei, the guard platoon leader sitting next to Tang Zheng, said: "General, could it be that they discovered that the war eagle was spying on them?"
Tang Zheng said noncommittally: "It's not certain yet, but there is another possibility. They think the war eagle is a mutated bird that may pose a threat to the lives of the soldiers in their position, so they shoot or drive it away."
Tang Zheng felt that his judgment might be right, but no matter which way it was, he could no longer continue the investigation now.
It can also be seen from this that the alliance is very cautious.
The convoy kept moving forward until it was more than ten kilometers away from Mangye Town, and then it slowly stopped.
The alliance's position is located southwest of Mangye Town, which is a transportation hub after the end of the world.
The Light Chasing Army is now in the northeast of Mangye Town. The distance between the two sides is only more than 20 kilometers, with Mangye Town in between.
We can no longer move forward. If we continue to move forward, we will enter the range of the Alliance's artillery.
Tang Zheng and the others chose a high ground to stop. The engineers got out of the car and began to check whether there were any minefields planted by the Alliance nearby.
After checking, they found that there were no minefields here, so Tang Zheng and the others stopped here temporarily.
The soldiers got out of the car, and the officers came to Tang Zheng's side.
On the high ground, everyone in the Light Chasing Army complained about Xie Jinshan's behavior for a while.
The first battalion commander Luo Fei said: "General, this Xie Jinshan is too cunning. He arranged his position like a turtle shell, and he couldn't get out of the shell. The war eagle's reconnaissance perspective is not available yet, and this battle will not be possible." It’s so easy to fight.”
Second Battalion Commander Yang Mu also said: "That's right, especially since their armored troops are hidden in the position. They are obviously going to push back to the end. If this battle continues, our casualties will not be small."
Jiang Hao, the commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, said bitterly: "I came all the way here just to teach their armored troops a lesson. I am not given the chance."
Tang Zheng waited for the soldiers to finish speaking before slowly speaking: "So in your opinion, what do we need to do well in order to win this battle successfully?"
Several battalion commanders looked at each other. First, the artillery battalion commander Wang Jinglong said: "We must first eliminate their threats, such as the artillery. This is a threat to our offensive troops and we should find a way to destroy them."
Second Battalion Commander Yang Mu said: "It is in our best interest to let their armored troops come out and annihilate them outside."
First Battalion Commander Luo Fei added: "It would be great if there was a way not to attack their position head-on. Letting them attack us is the best way."
Tang Zheng nodded after listening: "You are right, we must let the alliance's troops come out. Otherwise, even if we can win this critical battle, the losses will be huge. But how to let them come out, we have to think of a way."
"It is right to eliminate their artillery first, so that they lose long-range firepower. Without long-range firepower, they will come out sooner or later in the face of our artillery bombardment."
"But now we'd better figure out their internal layout Ji Yuntian and whether the Military Intelligence Bureau has any plans."
Ji Yuntian said from the side: "General, for this battle, all the military intelligence and special service forces have arrived with the army to carry out a joint operation and have a working direction. We are investigating the other side, and the other side is also investigating us. I plan to use this a little."
"Okay, let's take a rest on the spot first. The cooking team is preparing to cook. Xie Jinshan has made up his mind to let us take the initiative to attack, but I am not what he wants."
On the east side of Mangye Town, in the dense forest on the hillside.
A reconnaissance team from the alliance was holding binoculars on the top of the mountain, looking at the Light Chaser's position from a distance.
They had been lurking here for some time, and finally waited for the arrival of the Light Chasing Army.
Facing the powerful enemy of the Light Chasing Army, the alliance has always been at a psychological disadvantage.
In the battle against the zombies below the Light-Chasing City, you can clearly see the gap in combat power between the two sides. Now that they are facing off against the Light-Chasing Army, everyone in the alliance is unsure.
Otherwise, Xie Jinshan would not be so conservative and determined to stay in position.
Not only did he ambush all the armored units and artillery units in the position, he also built a lot of natural protection.
The tanks and cannons were covered with branches and some anti-radar paint was applied.
The trenches were dug very deep, there were air raid shelters, and there was even a considerable amount of food and water stored here.
Several ammunition depots have been built, all located deep in the position. It is difficult to find the specific location without looking closely.
I made up my mind to fight the Light Chasing Army here, and I was quite well prepared.
Moreover, Xie Jinshan also sent out many such reconnaissance teams to try to understand the situation of the Light Chasing Army and to know themselves and their enemies.
Zabu is the captain of this investigation team.
The area where he was lurking was a key area and the place where Tang Zheng was most likely to camp, so Xie Jinshan also sent elite troops.
Before the end of the world, Zabu was an outstanding hunter on the grassland.
He once faced off against a pack of wolves alone and killed seven wild wolves with his dagger.
He once hunted down people who stole his things, killed two thieves with his own hands, and was imprisoned for several years.
After the end of the world, he has been the best soldier in Xie Jinshan's army, and now serves as the reconnaissance captain.
The few people following him were all people who lived in the mountains and forests all year round before the end of the world. There were hunters, mountain runners, and mercenaries.
Each has excellent marksmanship, as well as good scouting and survivability abilities.
For example, Zhang Biao next to him is a rough-and-tumble boy, but he is a good player in both shooting and fighting.
Several of them came out this time, not even riding motorcycles, and relied solely on their feet to travel through the mountains and forests.
Here, Zabu has very strong self-confidence. No one can catch him or defeat him in the mountains and forests.
Withered yellow leaves fell in front of my eyes, and the wind on the top of the mountain made Zhabu tighten his tight leather jacket.
Putting down the telescope, Zabu said to the people around him: "Record this."
A man next to him took out a pen and paper and listened to Zabu's dictation.
"The Light Chasing Army has arrived and is now camping in the northeast of Mangye Town."
"Number of people. Not less than five thousand."
"There are about thirty tanks and about fifty cannons."
"Six helicopters, including five transport aircraft."
"There are about fifty armored vehicles..."
He introduced them one by one and quickly recorded them there.
"Captain Zabu, the strength of this Light Chasing Army seems to be just that. Are we so cautious and conservative? If you ask me, just go out and kill them all in one fell swoop."
Zhang Biao listened for a while and was somewhat disapproving of the strength of the Light Chasing Army.
Zabu patted him on the head: "You brat, do you think there is only one smart person in the world? Thank you, Speaker, for their decision. That's their reason. We can just follow the order."
The young man recording next to him also said: "That's right, Brother Zhang Biao, we still listen to the captain. This time we got first-hand information about the Light Chasing Army. As long as we can return to the alliance, there will be a reward of 10,000 light yuan." Woolen cloth."
After Zhang Biao heard this, his eyes moved: "Then I want to investigate carefully and see Tang Zheng's specific location."
With that said, he took the high-powered telescope and stood up to investigate.
"Be careful!"
Zabu wanted to persuade him, but at this moment, a dull gunshot suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests!
Zhang Biao stood up, turned over and fell with a scream, his shoulders were blood red!
"No, we're being targeted!"
Zabu relied on his experience and looked directly to the southeast.
There were longing figures in the forest, and a reconnaissance unit of the Light Chaser Army appeared.
