Chapter 1565: Ambush

depressed!

Rom stared at the trembling captives in front of him, and was going crazy with anger. Not to mention the gasoline and bombs consumed by the dozens of aircraft supported by the Air Force, not to mention the thousands of shells fired by the Independent Artillery Regiment. The three main armored battalions also consume fuel when running out for a circle, and the result is... .

When the enemy took the initiative to retreat, there were still a few wandering soldiers who failed to escape and were arrested. Roma saw these crying enemy soldiers with sad faces on the side of a road. Looking at their faces covered with dust and tears, and their crumpled military uniforms, he thought he had suffered a lot.

"Tell me, what orders did your officers give?" the annoyed Rom interrogated himself with a vicious look on his face. In this trial, it was learned that the six frontline divisions of the enemy had reached a certain tacit agreement, that is, they would retreat when they encountered an attack from the Aurora Legion, and they were determined not to fight a tough battle.

"Both the Mixed First Division and the Independent First Division were disabled. The officers who lost their troops immediately lost their power and were completely marginalized."

"The previous siege of Merida was too miserable. Especially the mixed first division that was withdrawn. There were more than 8,000 people in the division, and less than 1,000 survived. All the wounded soldiers were abandoned. In the next few days we All the teachers were terrified by the tragedy."

"The six divisions that came up from Campeche were originally stationed in Mexico City, and they were all the elite under Boss Suzano's command. But the division commanders didn't want to wipe out the troops, and now no one wants to fight."

"We have long received orders from our officers to retreat when encountering an attack. The most important thing is to save our own lives."

The confession of the captives was in front of them, and such an opponent made Rom and other senior officers of the Aurora Legion angry and laughing. However, the enemy's six divisions did not leave, and the pressure was still great. The legion can't show weakness yet, after all, the enemy just doesn't want to lose too much, it's not that they don't want to fight.

"Commander Roma, what shall we do next?" Several staff officers asked.

"What else can I do?" Rom had been by Zhou Qingfeng's side for more than two years, and the rabbit was about to grow fangs. He said with a bit of ruthlessness: "The more the enemy doesn't want to fight, the more we want to fight. The more ruthless and fierce we are, the less afraid of death, the more afraid the opponent will be."

"However..." A staff officer still expressed concern, "Sir, we have too few troops. There are 5,000 people in the regiment, and the front-line combat troops are less than 3,000. And there are only more than 100 tanks, and their performance is still very good. The gap is huge. The enemy is in a hurry, how can this eighth-level car beat the tenth-level car?"

Yes, this is a real problem.

Dare to fight and fight is a good thing, but the disadvantage of equipment cannot be ignored. The performance of the enemy's M60A3 is far superior to that of the old Wujiu in all aspects. If you face it head-on, you will be slaughtered.

"Maybe we can take the initiative,

Lure the enemy into our trap. A staff officer thought about it, "Our advantage is that the whole regiment is fully mechanized and highly mobile." The enemy's tanks are scattered in six divisions. If we only focus on one division and beat them violently, the winning rate is still very high. "

It is impossible to fight without losses. If a mechanized reinforced regiment is used to deal with the enemy's motorized infantry division, it is still possible to win. It's just a question of how to play.

The staff's proposal made Rom think deeply. He looked at the electronic map repeatedly, and finally ordered the staff to form a combat plan based on this idea, and sent it back to the General Staff to seek the opinions of higher-ranking officers.

Qin Weidong had no objection to this, and Zhou Qingfeng even waved his hand when he learned about it, and ordered the 'Kirov' airships to gather and immediately transport the three armored battalions of the First Guards Regiment to the front line, especially the tanks first. Strengthen the armor power in Rom's hands.

"Use the armored battalion together, and choose the enemy's independent third division as the target. Find a way to draw it out from the front of the enemy's six divisions. We will set a trap for him and fight it hard."

Just as Roma made up his mind to deal a tough blow to the enemy, Suzano on the opposite side was also forcing his troops to press forward. He stayed at the division headquarters of the Independent Third Division so as not to die, staring at the division's senior officers and ordering an attack.

With the boss watching by his side, the Independent Third Division couldn't be lazy. The whole division can only attack forward. It's just that the third division is moving forward, and there are no one in the other divisions. It seems that a division has formed a protrusion on the front line and popped out.

Soon, Suzano, who was sitting at the division headquarters, received a report from an armored reconnaissance company, saying that a small group of enemy mobile troops had been found on the flank of the third division, accompanied by enemy shelling.

This looks very similar to the previous situation, it was bombardment and armor impact again. The commander of the third division asked about the number of incoming enemies, and when he learned that there was only a mechanized company with about one tank platoon, he felt a little more confident.

The terrain of the Yucatan Peninsula is flat, and it is a bit difficult to set up an ambush. Armor can charge back and forth, everywhere in the road. Thinking of the small number of enemies and the absolute superiority of our own troops, the third division immediately deployed its forces to launch a counterattack.

In the open field, three M60A3 tanks are connected to the order to start turning. Dozens of tons of armored vehicles rolled over the grass and gravel and began to accelerate. Behind them are two infantry battalions with armored vehicles, and behind them is a howitzer battalion that has stopped in place and is ready to fire.

"It seems that the third division of this direct line is still a little capable." Through the drone's investigation, Rom could see the enemy's formation in his command vehicle. It's just that the drone was shot down by the enemy's anti-aircraft fire within five minutes of flying over.

On Suzano's side, an 'Avenger' anti-aircraft vehicle just shot down an artillery observation drone on the opposite side. The medium-sized drone broke into several pieces in the air, and fell to the ground with a trail of black smoke.

Suzano could see the falling smoke trail seven or eight kilometers away, and he was quite satisfied with it. At the same time, he asked the staff of the division headquarters: "How is the front line?"

"Our tank column is in pursuit, and the enemy's harassing troops have been destroyed by us. Two old tanks and several armored vehicles have been destroyed. The division headquarters is directing the follow-up troops to expand the front of the attack, and decided to completely eat up this small group of enemy troops. "

Hearing that the result was good, Suzano also laughed happily. He smiled cruelly and scolded the commander of his third division, "Isn't the battle in front of us very simple, and there is nothing difficult about it. These bastards are just dishonest, and they will fight hard only if I personally sit in charge."

The staff of the division naturally wanted to praise Boss Suzano for his leadership and strong command, and all the credit goes to the boss. It's just that after boasting for a while, several dazzling meteors suddenly appeared in the sky.

The meteor fell to the ground in a flash, blasting a column of smoke clouds into the sky. The place where it landed was really the Division Headquarters of the 3rd Division where the radio wires were erected. This bombing was a real blow, and the people in the division headquarters would have to die if they didn't die.

Holy crap... the Laser Legion's tactical ballistic missiles are here to decapitate you!
