Chapter 1649: Turtle Tactics
Regarding the tortoise tactics that the Aurora Legion is advancing step by step, Jonathan has no good solution at all. The enemy neither rushes around nor resorts to deceit, but simply keeps repairing fortifications like an old farmer.
And this is not a general repair, but a major repair and special repair.
More than a dozen semi-permanent fortifications have been built outside Tula City, and the cost of cement and steel is simply a luxury in Jonathan's opinion. Moreover, the legion had to deliver meals, water, and electricity to the troops stationed in the wild, which cost a lot of money.
But that's what the Aurora Legion did....
What does this make Jonathan, who has left the camp without even a mouthful of hot food, think? You must know that it is difficult for him to drink saliva. Now there is a shortage of everything, and I have to save some water purification tablets. However, the water source in the wild is not clean, and the taste after adding water purification tablets is really painful for people to drink every day.
Just for the great cause of the unification of the Mexican people, Jonathan decided to endure it...
He tried to get off the road, bypass the city fortress under construction, and go directly to Mexico City to make trouble, hoping to disrupt the expensive and clumsy advance plan of the Aurora Legion. But after trying to advance 20 kilometers, he quickly dismissed this stupid idea.
Going around the city is tantamount to leaving the road. The bad road conditions make off-road vehicles helpless, and the target is too large to attract the attention of drones, so it must be advanced on foot. But in this way, enough supplies cannot be carried, which greatly limits the moving distance and speed of the team.
And the Aurora Legion not only fortified the big cities, but also in many villages. The combined steel bunkers should not be too simple, and can be mass-produced by any machine factory. As for the steel itself, is that still a thing?
The arc-shaped bunker has a low profile, and a machine gun on it is enough to control an intersection. Coupled with solar batteries and a few night vision devices, the 24-hour stronghold is complete.
When encountering this thing, Jonathan was stunned.
The key is that these things don’t cost much, so Zhou Qingfeng distributed more than a thousand in one go in the northern area of Mexico City.
This thing is like a mushroom growing in the ground, it is everywhere overnight. It made it difficult for Jonathan, who was trying to go deep into the enemy's rear, to find a sip of water to drink, let alone walk more than 100 kilometers away from the logistics to attack Mexico City.
Doing this is purely looking for death, withdraw.
After giving up the idea of detours, Jonathan could only look back to see if he could deal with the fortified city. There is nothing wrong with the completed city of Tula, but the city of San Juan, which is under construction, seems to have some opportunities to take advantage of.
The two off-road vehicles driven by Jonathan carried a portable 60-zero mortar. He tentatively carried out probabilistic shelling at the maximum range of five kilometers, and fired five shots at a semi-permanent fortification outside San Juan in one breath. Fire shells.
Jonathan knew that the maximum monitoring distance of his enemy's small drone was five kilometers, and it would be difficult to control if it was too far away. After the tom tom shells were fired, he immediately retreated two kilometers and looked forward to watching a good show.
In Jonathan's mind, the enemies hiding in the fortifications would definitely come out angrily after being bombarded, and they would definitely try to wipe out the attackers from outside. As long as the enemy comes out, the explosives placed by Jonathan on the side of the road can surprise the opponent.
At the beginning, the experienced Jonathan was confident.
But after waiting for half an hour, only a few drones flying around like headless chickens came out to investigate what happened? And half an hour later, the heavy artillery positions behind the enemy's fortifications began to show their power, and more than a hundred shells were fired indiscriminately, and the shells exploded everywhere.
A shell exploded about 300 meters away from Jonathan, and 50 meters around the impact point was blown to nothing, scaring the hearts of several members of his team.
Ten minutes after the bombardment, the ashen-faced Jonathan cursed: "What are these bastards doing? This is simply aimless shooting. They don't cherish precious shells at all."
That's right, Zhou Qingfeng's troops don't cherish weapons and ammunition at all. Even the military officers publicly stated that ‘problems that can be solved with ammunition should not be easily solved with human life,
We have plenty of shells. '
This ethos has even infected the military of the current Mexican government. Except for drones and artillery shells, the embarrassing and reckless enemies that Jonathan imagined did not appear at all. After the bombardment, the opposite construction site continued to work as if nothing happened.
The commander in the construction site didn't even have any intention of retaliating, and used this vanguard point to extend the drone's warning range by two or three kilometers.
"Boss Jonathan, what should we do?" the Mexican guide in the team asked.
Jonathan hid behind a pile of rocks and held up his binoculars. There were about 300 enemies coming forward, and the heavy weapons were machine guns and mortars. They came out in more than 20 trucks, and quickly built a steel bunker beside the road.
"Damn it, it's this small bunker again." Jonathan was about to scold when he saw this metal bunker. This kind of field fortification is small in size and easy to assemble. A few steel plates can quickly surround a layer, and it can be done in half an hour at a faster speed.
But it is very troublesome to kill this kind of bunker. The rocket launcher can only penetrate a hole at most, and the large-caliber heavy machine gun can't penetrate it, and even the mortar can't blast it. You have to aim directly at the artillery to deal with it. This is not something a mobile squad behind enemy lines can deal with.
A battalion of enemies wantonly built bunkers on both sides of the road, and Jonathan watched helplessly as the opponent continued to transport semi-finished steel plates from the rear with trucks. Simply dig a deep hole to bury the metal foundation, connect the surface structure with bolts, and you're done.
This meow is so disgusting.
We are just a few people. As for mobilizing so many troops, spending so much money, consuming so many resources, and spending so long to repair the fortification?
This mouse is dragging the turtle, there is no way to start!
"Withdraw." Jonathan really wanted to sigh, so he had no choice but to order.
The guide also saw the scene of frenzied repairing the bunker through the telescope. Hearing that Jonathan said to withdraw, he quickly suggested: "Boss, should we shoot the remaining shells before we leave? Maybe we can kill a few more."
The guide is a Mexican local tycoon who fled after being suppressed by the Aurora Legion. He hates the Legion more deeply than anyone in the team. There were still a dozen rounds of 60 mortar shells on the off-road vehicle, and he wanted to kill a few soldiers of the bunker repairing regiment before leaving.
But Jonathan categorically rejected this kind of mindless approach, "We are special operations behind the enemy, and we cannot go head-to-head with the regular army. If the position is discovered, can you really think that the enemy's heavy artillery can't kill us?"
"Boss, what should we do then? Do we just watch the monkeys of the Aurora Legion repairing the fortification all the way to our door?" The guide was even more unwilling.
Repair all the way to the door of the house?
Jonathan felt terrified just thinking about it. If the Aurora Legion really wanted to do this, it would be a big trouble.
"No, I won't let these monkeys be so easy." Jonathan said fiercely, "We can't deal with it, but it doesn't mean there are no other ways to deal with it."
