Two Hundred and Ninetieth Three Flying over the Battlefield
The soldiers looked excitedly at the situation below. It was the first time they saw a real battlefield, but their eyesight was not as abnormal as Ye Han's, and they couldn't see the situation below clearly. (VIII) ΔChinese Δ网『Δ⒈
Ye Han actually couldn't see it that clearly, but he had personally experienced small-scale border armed conflicts, seen the real battlefield with his own eyes, and witnessed his comrades being blown away by shells, so he knew exactly what would happen on the battlefield.
Although because of the height of the helicopter, he could only see part of the situation on the ground, but even with a guess, he was able to guess exactly what was going on below.
But he didn't intend to explain the situation on the battlefield in detail. For some things, it's best to witness and experience them firsthand, and what he said from his mouth was like preaching by relying on the old to sell the old.
The helicopter did not fly over the battlefield, but adjusted its direction before approaching the battlefield, and flew along the edge of the battlefield to have a panoramic view of the situation on the battlefield.
Ye Han and the others didn't know that the original mission of this helicopter was to collect intelligence on the battlefield for the headquarters to study and analyze, and bringing them here was just a temporary extra mission.
Ye Han suddenly saw a large group of people gathered on a bare hill in the middle of the battlefield. He couldn't help but take a few more glances, and found that at least half of them were Beibang officers and soldiers wearing unfamiliar military uniforms, and the other half were wearing ordinary clothes the common people!
Farther away from the hill, you can see large and small bomb craters everywhere, but near the hill, you can't see half of the crater. Obviously, the air force deliberately avoided the hill when dropping bombs.
He gasped involuntarily, and immediately realized that the civilians on the hill were human shields kidnapped by the North Stick Army, and they were probably the hostages left behind by the North Stick Army after they attacked the convoy!
"Damn it!" Ye Han punched the bulkhead, and secretly began to worry whether the higher-ups would entrust him with the task of rescuing the hostages.
Compared with combat missions, rescuing hostages has many disadvantages, and even the military and police who perform the mission need to use their lives to protect the safety of the hostages. It is by no means empty talk.
He would rather lead his troops to fight the Beibaijun than to accept such a task.
It would be easy to deal with one or two hostages. There are at least hundreds of hostages on the hill, and the North Stick Army has more people than hostages. Even if he has three heads and six arms, how many hostages can he save?
What's more, if you want to approach the hostages, you have to cross the battlefield first. Before you get close to the hill, you have to let the Beibaijun find out, unless you use a large-caliber sniper rifle to snipe long-range.
But where did he find so many snipers and sniper rifles? Moreover, if three or five people died, the Beibaijun might not be vigilant,
Once too many Beibang soldiers were shot and killed on the hill, it would definitely attract the attention of the Beibang soldiers. As long as they hid behind the hostages, no matter how many snipers, they would just stare blankly.
However, the helicopter did not show signs of descending. On the contrary, the North Stick Army on the ground fell into commotion because of the approach of the helicopter. Several teams of infantry gathered under the command of the officer and concentrated their firepower on the helicopter in the air.
The helicopter quickly pulled away and continued to fly south.
After a while, a group of fixed-wing fighters flew across the sky, and another wave of air strikes launched in Ye Han's sight.
The Beibang Army had no air defense force at all, and the air strike was a one-sided massacre, but Ye Han didn't sympathize with the Beibang Army who crossed the border at all. He only hated that the Beibang Army didn't die early or fast enough.
No matter how tight the bandit organization is, it is just a group of loose sands united by interests, but the army has strict organization and discipline. Once such an organization acts unscrupulously like bandits, its destructive power is far greater than that of bandits.
The current Beibai army is an army that is turning to the bandits. If they escape and surround them, the consequences will be disastrous.
The helicopter flew away from the battlefield, and Ye Han saw the scattered armored vehicles again. A few hundred meters away, there were more than a dozen tanks lined up. Many infantrymen followed the tanks and armored vehicles with their guns. Standard infantry-tank coordination tactics.
If you look in other directions, you can more or less see some of your own troops step by step, forming a loose encirclement circle, with strong air support from the Air Force. As long as the troops performing the encirclement mission do not make mistakes, it should not be a problem to besiege the Beibang Army.
Presumably the North Stick Army also knows the current situation, otherwise they would not gather hostages on the hill for no reason. Maybe, the North Stick Army intends to use hostages to threaten the military to let them go.
The tragic battlefield gradually went away, but Ye Han's heart could not be calm for a long time, and he couldn't help but guess in his heart, what would the commander in charge of encircling and suppressing the Beibang Army face the threat of the enemy, what would he choose.
Ignoring the safety of the hostages, it is the best choice to eliminate the North Stick Army in one go. It can eliminate the North Stick Army to the greatest extent and ensure that the North Stick Army will not spread beyond the battlefield.
But doing so is also the most inhumane. Ninety-nine out of 10 commanders who give orders will be dealt with seriously for ignoring the lives of civilians.
Compassion does not command soldiers. Anyone who understands the military knows that on the battlefield, no matter whether you treat the enemy or your own people, you can’t show affection. The most important task of a commander is to find ways to achieve tactical or strategic goals at the lowest cost. However, the lives of the enemy, our own side, and even civilians should not appear in the commander's mind!
Just like Boss Peng's catchphrase: Mother sells B, I don't want casualties, I want positions!
War is not a child's play, nor is it an overly glorified performance in movies and TV shows. On the battlefield, the cruelest place in the world, only by freezing your heart into stone can you have the possibility of victory. Before victory comes, any combatant, regardless of Whether it is a commander or an ordinary soldier, neither can show the slightest kindness and mercy to the enemy, and the same is true for the hostages in the enemy's hands.
This is war, this is the battlefield, where you live and die.
The battlefield finally disappeared under the distant horizon, only the black smoke column was still rising in the distance, Ye Han suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if he was hanging in mid-air without knowing the world or the ground.
Ye Han can control his behavior, but he can't control his thoughts. He can only use distraction methods to divert his mind from the battlefield to other aspects.
More than ten minutes later, a wide river appeared below the plane, and a few minutes later, the blue sea replaced the horizon. When the helicopter flew near the coast, it turned around and headed west. Finally, a huge city appeared in front of the right, and in front of the plane on the left was a harbor where more than a dozen warships of various sizes were moored.
Ye Han unexpectedly discovered that a large amphibious landing ship in the naval port was being loaded, and rows of fully enclosed trucks were coming in and out through the bow hatch, and he didn't know what to send to the ship. (To be continued.)
