Chapter 489 Attack on the Sixth Battalion
So the battle ended very quickly, so fast that even the commander of the Fifth Battalion was surprised. The two special warfare companies that had beaten themselves to death, just under the leadership of Lin Yi, solved the battle with a single charge. This gap Not your average size.

Even with such a comparison, wouldn't it mean that my entire battalion can't keep up with Lin Yi's two companies?

In fact, this kind of comparison is meaningless. In the situation of special operations, the firepower company of the fifth battalion is completely useless, and with the infiltration of special forces, heavy firepower and logistics and some battalion-affiliated units have also been destroyed. Sexual blow, which caused the Fifth Battalion to be crippled without even displaying half of their strength, which is unfair.

And Lin Yi's two mechanized infantry companies are designed to restrain quick-reaction troops like special warfare companies. As long as they are commanded properly, the effect will be extremely good.

Does that mean that the Fifth Battalion Commander is not bad?
This is completely unacceptable. As the leader of the grassroots organization, his battalion was beaten by two special warfare companies and a special unit. This in itself can show that he is not very good as a battalion commander.

The special warfare company is powerful, and it is also composed of people. It is nothing more than their individual soldiers are of higher quality. You have seven or eight companies in a battalion, with three times the strength of the enemy, and you can still be beaten by the nose. It can be said that one general is incompetent and exhausted the whole army.

The battle damage was calculated soon. The fifth battalion lost more than [-] people. The two mechanized infantry companies led by Lin Yi lost seven people in the battle. They wiped out all the personnel of the fifth company of special warfare and more than forty people of the sixth company of special warfare. There are three special forces. It is estimated that there is only one platoon in the sixth special warfare company, and there are at most two squads left in the special forces unit.

This battle was so far the one where the fifth battalion suffered the least damage and eliminated the most enemies. After receiving the damage report, the commander of the fifth battalion even took the initiative to go to Lin Yi's command vehicle to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Assistant Lin. If you hadn't rescued us in time, our Fifth Battalion would have been doomed."

Seeing the rejoicing eyes of the Fifth Battalion Commander, Lin Jian didn't let go of his frown, "Fifth Battalion Commander, don't you feel something is wrong? Why didn't the Special Forces detachment attack you when the troops were empty? They still have at least two squads of the troops."

The Fifth Battalion Commander looked at his dilapidated camp, and said awkwardly: "I'm not afraid of making fun of you if you say it. This time we are out in full force. There is no logistics in the camp. Even if the special forces want to attack my camp, they can't find it at all." possible target."

As soon as these words came out, three black lines oozed from Lin Yi's head. He thought that the Fifth Battalion would be poor, but he didn't expect it to be so poor. In a battle, all members would be mobilized, and even the base would be empty. .

But this doesn't make sense either. It is impossible for the special forces to watch the two companies being beaten and remain indifferent. The only explanation is that they went to do other things, which prevented them from returning in time.

But what is it that makes them choose to leave knowing that they may be attacked by surprise?
Just when Lin Yi was wondering, the sound of artillery fire suddenly came from the direction of the Sixth Battalion, and the dazzling fireworks made Lin Yi stunned, "What kind of weapon can make such a big firework?"

The Fifth Battalion Commander didn't regain his senses when he saw such dazzling fireworks, and then whispered: "The explosion with such a large yield, that we can see it clearly from ten kilometers away, could it be that the ammunition depot exploded? "

The ammunition depot is the absolute core of an army, and its defense level even surpasses that of the command headquarters. If the command headquarters is beheaded, at least each company can still fight on its own, but once the ammunition depot is destroyed, it will be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

A single soldier can only carry 150 rounds of ammunition. Now that automated weapons are popular, 150 rounds of ammunition can only meet a few hours of combat. No matter how much you save, it is difficult to last for a long time.

It's not like having no food. No matter if you eat grass roots or gnaw leaves, you can persist for a few days, but once you run out of ammunition, no one will give you the chance even if you want to see the bayonet.

When Lin Yi heard this, he immediately understood what the special forces were doing. "The battalion headquarters and companies also have places like ammunition depots. If so many ammunition depots can be blown up at the same time, all the special forces who encircled and suppressed your battalion must have gone there. The Sixth Battalion is weaker than your battalion, and now even the ammunition depot has been bombed, and I'm afraid they will be forced to withdraw. Then, your battalion will become the main target of the special forces."

The commander of the Fifth Battalion tensed up. He didn't expect that with the support of the Third Battalion, most of the personnel of the special warfare company would be killed, but then he would have to face the direct attack of at least two special warfare companies and two special forces units. attack.

Under this kind of encirclement and suppression by troops, it is impossible for the Fifth Battalion to escape. The commander of the Fifth Battalion looked at Lin Yi nervously. His current hope is all on Lin Yi. Although he knows that Lin Yi has helped him a lot, but He still hopes that Lin Yi can save his life.

Lin saw the fifth battalion commander's eyes begging for help, but his eyes were firm. He always believed that the reason why the lips were cold and the teeth were cold was correct, and these were all his comrades in arms.

"Fifth Battalion Commander, don't worry, we are here to help. Now that the Sixth Battalion is in great trouble, we naturally can't sit idly by. Instead of passive defense, we should take the initiative to attack. I suggest that my two companies plus you All the personnel of the Fifth Battalion immediately rushed to the Sixth Battalion to help the Sixth Battalion eliminate as many enemies as possible, which is beneficial to both your department and ours."

When the Fifth Battalion Commander heard Lin Yi's plan, he obviously couldn't believe it, "But Assistant Lin, now we are exhausted and need to rest."

Lin Yi looked at the Fifth Battalion Commander seriously, "If you don't take advantage of the excitement of the soldiers after the victory, you won't have such a good chance next time. You are sleepy and you are tired, and they are even more sleepy and tired. The current ammunition depot of the Sixth Battalion has been bombed, and they still have a lot of key personnel, and local fighting will definitely not stop. If we don’t go up now, once the Sixth Battalion is wiped out, it will be your turn next.”

The Fifth Battalion Commander didn't speak, but looked out the window. The soldiers obviously changed their decadence after winning a battle. Although they were very tired, they couldn't hide the joy on their brows.

The Fifth Battalion was nourished by this victory. Without this victory, the soldiers' original low mood would have been lost even without fighting.

It can't be like this anymore, the fifth battalion can't be overwhelmed by depression, the fifth battalion commander then made up his mind, "Assistant Lin, all my troops will be handed over to you, you will command, and I will take responsibility if something goes wrong."

Although the Fifth Battalion Commander has been calling himself Assistant Lin, but his identity is only a deputy battalion commander, the Fifth Battalion Commander is willing to hand over the command of a battalion to himself, which is quite a responsibility.
