Chapter 909 Betting on military life!

As the fighting deepened, the peacekeeping forces obtained more intelligence. The signs on the battlefield fully demonstrated that this large-scale attack was carefully planned by the Crescent Brigade for a long time.

The news of the fall of West Bakker had just reached Juba City. In less than three hours, the main force of the Crescent Brigade had entered the oil field mining area.This shows that not only is the intelligence on the peacekeeping force lagging behind, but the combat effectiveness and commanders of the main force of the Crescent Brigade are much more difficult to deal with than many people imagined!
Under the counterattack of a Yanguo infantry battalion and a Babaki armored battalion of the UNMISS peacekeeping force, the main force of the Crescent Brigade was actually able to defend while continuing to organize forces to launch a fierce attack on the oil field mining area.

Simply explaining it in terms of the number of soldiers is no longer enough. Although the main force of the Crescent Brigade has nearly 2000 people and a lot of heavy equipment, it is difficult to do this if the military quality of the soldiers is low.

No matter what, Li Mu was at least completely certain that the Crescent Brigade was definitely not as simple as reported by the news media.

The corpses of several Westerners pulled out from the two destroyed tanks can make some very necessary and basically correct judgments.

The Crescent Brigade, an extreme armed force with no political inclination and no bottom line, may have been quietly undergoing transformation since it began to conquer cities and territories.Li Mu didn't dare to imagine how many forces were entangled behind this.

Xu Yan hurried over and got into the armored command vehicle. This armored command vehicle is the mobile headquarters of all peacekeeping forces on the battlefield.Instructions continued to come out of Li Mu's mouth, and then the communications staff or combat staff quickly distributed them to various combat units, including the Babaji Armored Battalion, through the joint command channel.

Seeing Li Mu solemnly drawing lines with red and blue pencils on the paper map of the peacekeeping area, Xu Yan didn't understand at first why Li Mu left the real-time drone surveillance footage and satellite map unused. When he saw After understanding the lines drawn by Li Mu, he was dumbfounded.

"The reserve team is ready. According to your instructions, it will be placed at the field hospital and on standby at any time. In addition, the engineer battalion has dispatched more than 200 people, but they do not have heavy weapons." Xu Yan calmed down and reported.

Li Mu nodded slightly, finally put down the pencil, took a deep breath, slammed his fist on the table, and made up his mind.

"Come and take a look." Li Mu turned around and pointed at the real-time surveillance footage transmitted back by the drone.

Xu Yan looked at it intently and said in surprise, "This is this?"

"The reserve team of the Crescent Brigade should be a standard mechanized infantry battalion, which has been hidden in the mountain col on the northeast side of the intersection behind them. If it were not for the expansion of the battlefield reconnaissance range, we would not know that they have such a powerful force. Armored assault force." Li Mu said solemnly.

Xu Yan finally understood why Li Mu had requested reinforcements from the engineering battalion. He did not have enough reserves. Once the armored assault force of the Crescent Brigade was put into the battlefield, the peacekeeping force would suffer a disaster, and the oil fields and mining areas would be destroyed. It’s a completely imaginable scene.

"Why did they stand still?" Xu Yan asked the most critical question.

Li Mu sneered and said, "As far as I know, the chief of staff of the Crescent Brigade is called Weeks. He was once a senior officer in the Confederate Army. He has intelligence work experience and his tactical command quality is evident."

As he spoke, he pointed to the current battlefield situation map.

The current situation is tragic and embarrassing, and the two sides are forming a stalemate.After attacking for more than a kilometer to the west, the Babaji Armored Battalion stopped its assault under the fierce artillery fire of the Crescent Brigade and began to show fatigue.

"The Crescent Brigade has an artillery position here with a total of eighteen 105mm artillery pieces." Li Mu pointed to the picture taken by the drone. On the picture, the artillery position was firing fiercely. He said, "But we don't have any means capable of attacking this artillery emplacement."

It's so frustrating to know and be able to lock down the enemy's artillery positions, but not have the weapons and equipment to attack them!
In the real-time footage captured by the wide-angle lens of the drone, the entire battlefield is shrouded in the golden light of the setting sun. Starting from the north-south highway where the peacekeeping troops are leaning as a support line, and moving westward along the east-west highway, it is a vast expanse. The plains provide very few hiding places.The Crescent Brigade relied on the east-west highway to attack eastward and northeastward along the highway.

The oilfield mining area is in the northeast direction.

The sound of gunfire was loud, and from time to time, a burst of artillery shells fell into the camp of the peacekeepers, exploding continuously, raising thick smoke and dust that filled the air.

In fact, when the Crescent Brigade's tanks blocked Babaji's armored battalion, the peacekeeping forces had lost their last means of assault.Armed with artillery and heavy firepower, the peacekeeping forces, which did not even have mortars, had no way of sustaining the offensive.

It seemed that the commander of the Crescent Brigade had anticipated this situation early, so their artillery units did not even set up a preliminary position.

They don't have to worry about being attacked by the peacekeeping forces in the air, because the peacekeeping forces have no aerial firepower!The peacekeepers don't even have direct firepower!
It is undoubtedly difficult to use a [-]mm caliber machine gun for an infantry tank assault alone. You must know that the most indispensable thing for the Crescent Brigade is a large number of bazooka rockets!

Therefore, when the Babaji Armored Battalion showed signs of fatigue before Xu Yan arrived, Li Mu decisively gave Yecheng'er an order, ordering them to move north to the edge of the oil field mining area, that is, the east-west highway, and search there. Suitable terrain, gradually transition from attack to active defense.

After all, the Babaji Armored Battalion is equipped with more than [-] world-advanced Khalid main battle tanks. Although the attack is weak, if a defensive front is built, it will be difficult for the Crescent Brigade to defeat it.

Therefore, the battlefield situation formed a stalemate.

"Where is the Northern Infantry Battalion? They should be northeast of the Crescent Brigade. Let them circle west and attack the Crescent Brigade from the flank. This can completely break the situation." Xu Yan pointed at the map decisively and said.

Li Mu said, "We still have more than a dozen workers trapped in the oil field and mining area. The evacuation route has been cut off by the Crescent Brigade. The reason is because the barrel-killing troops from the North not only failed to follow the plan to defend the right wing of the oil field and mining area, but also failed to follow the plan. Instead, they retreated five kilometers, leaving a gap through which approximately one company of troops from the Crescent Brigade had already entered the oil field and mined the area, cutting off the evacuation route, which meant blocking this section of the road."

Xu Yan looked at Li Mu in disbelief. Slowly, he understood. Hasn't that country always been like this? A country full of shameless people would not have much courage.

At this time, Xu Yan confirmed his judgment based on Li Mu's outline on the paper map he had just seen.

He asked, "Li Mu, do you really plan to do this?"

"The only way to break the deadlock or even annihilate the Crescent Brigade." Li Mu glanced at Xu Yan and said in a deep voice, then pointed at the map and said, "Look, the crossroads behind the Crescent Brigade is occupied by the Babaji Armored Battalion. The entrance forms an I-shaped area. Now the focus of both sides and the gap left by the Northern Infantry Battalion are all on the right side of the I-shaped area."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Yan and said, "I sent all the people I could to rescue the workers, but there are still more than a dozen workers trapped, as well as a platoon led by Li Fengxiang. In order to rescue them, I am willing to Bear any consequences.”

"In my eyes, a northern infantry battalion and even tens of thousands of tons of relief food from the WFP are not as important as the lives of a dozen compatriots and more than 20 soldiers."

Xu Yan stared at Li Mu and said with an unprecedented seriousness, "Do you know what the consequences will be? You will most likely be sent to a military court."

Taking a deep breath, Li Mu picked up a piece of telegram and handed it to Xu Yan, "This is the casualty statistics from 10 minutes ago."

Seeing the numbers above, Xu Yan's teeth were clenching, the veins on his neck popped out, and his eyes almost burst out of fire.He had expected the casualties of the troops, but he never expected them to be so serious!It was beyond expectations and completely beyond his imagination!

"The reserve armored assault force of the Crescent Brigade has not moved. I feel that the commander of the Crescent Brigade, like me, is also waiting for a suitable time before committing."

After all, Li Mu is still the calmest person. No matter how much blood is shed, the commander cannot let his emotions affect his thinking ability until the battle is over. He must stay awake at all times.

"Then, I will create this opportunity. As long as he puts the reserve team in, I will be sure to annihilate them!" Li Mu's eyes were like sharp arrows, aiming to shoot through the screen and into the opponent's headquarters.

"Don't they want tens of thousands of tons of relief food? I'll give it to them!"

Li Mu slammed his fist on the table.

What is he doing?
Order the Babaji Armored Battalion to retreat and make way for the intersection. In this way, the armored assault troops of the Crescent Brigade can attack along the road, turn northeast at the intersection, and then attack northeast along the road with almost no obstacles. !

Five kilometers to the northeast is first the Northland Infantry Battalion, and then the Confederate Food Program warehouse!The most important thing is that the refined oil warehouse in the oil field mining area is right next to the Allied World Food Program warehouse!

Speaking of the fundamentals, if they can obtain urgently needed oil and food without attacking Yanguo's enterprises, they will not carry out active attacks at all.Previous indications indicate that the commander of the Crescent Brigade is a person who is very familiar with the internal situation of the peacekeeping forces and the relationship between the peacekeeping forces of various countries. He will not be stupid enough to create more enemies for himself.

The current situation is that the Yanguo Peacekeeping Infantry Battalion and the Babaji Armored Battalion are the only forces blocking their way. To be precise, it is the crossroads controlled by the Babaji Armored Battalion.

If let go, there is no doubt that the Crescent Brigade will send its strongest mobile force to attack through the gap and go straight to the warehouse.

Once this happens, the Crescent Brigade will definitely not attack the production area of ​​the oil field mining area so violently again, and a platoon and a dozen workers trapped inside will be rescued.

The Northern Infantry Battalion, which retreated to the vicinity of the warehouse, became the only peacekeeping force blocking their way.

That's why Xu Yan warned Li Mu - you are very likely to be sent to a military court!

Li Mu is going to bet his military life!
Note: Try to have a small burst today, write [-] words, and pray for constant inspiration... Go out for some activities and buy a few packs of cigarettes.
