District 9

About a hundred kilometers away from the Khocha border, fifty soldiers from the special operations brigade, wearing snow-white special operations uniforms, squatted in two rows in a mountain col.

From the command position, Lin Xiao took off the windshield on his face, took the communication device and called: "I am the No. 1 team, transfer to the mixed brigade headquarters."

"Wait a moment, number one!" the other party responded, and the communication equipment entered a busy tone.

After about ten seconds, Qin Yu's voice sounded: "Hello?"

"I am Lin Xiao. Are there any combat units above the battalion level around the Second Division headquarters?" Lin Xiao asked bluntly.

"Definitely not." Qin Yu frowned and responded: "Our three regiments have been biting them from behind. If his command headquarters is evacuating with the large army, I will receive information here."

"How is the battlefield situation along the retreat of the Second Division?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"Now the entire battlefield on the north side of Khocha is in chaos. The mixed brigade, Lin troops, the first division of the New First Army, the second division, and their brigade are all mixed together. The retreat is still being carried out. Shelling." Qin Yu frowned and replied: "Some of the Self-Defense Forces in Hucha are also moving outwards. They may be afraid that the Lin Corps will attack and confuse their garrison area, so they may need to deploy defenses in advance. "

"Didn't Guo Yu act very tough when he beat up your mixed brigade?" Lin Xiao frowned and replied, "Why are you so soft now?"

"That's because we are easy to bully and he dares to fight, but it's different now. He has already seen the combat effectiveness of Lin's regiment. If they drag it down on the outside of Hucha and the Gu's regiment inside Hucha comes out again, then He was pinched to death in an instant, and the troops had no chance to escape from the battlefield." Qin Yu replied clearly: "I feel that this Guo Yu wants to preserve his strength and use it for negotiations. Otherwise, he will be ruined. , once Tang and Zhang fail, he will die."

"Okay, I understand."

"How many people did you bring?"

"200 people, four teams." Lin Xiao replied truthfully.

Qin Yu was shocked: "You are too courageous. Two hundred people dare to parachute into a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, and you go alone. What if something happens?"

"The role of the special operations brigade is different from yours. If two hundred people can't complete the task, then it's useless for me to bring two thousand people." Lin Xiao replied calmly: "What we practice is isolated combat. The battlefield is already in chaos. you do not need to worry."

"You'd better come back and command at the headquarters..." Qin Yu was a little worried.

"Special operations on the scale of a battle are too rare. I want to personally command it." Lin Xiao is actually a very lucky man. He doesn't like gambling or prostitution. Work is his biggest interest. He is a pure and straight man.

Qin Yu tried to persuade him, but it was of no use. After Lin Xiao learned about the macro battlefield situation from him, he ended the call on his own initiative.

"Monitoring team." Lin Xiao shouted.

"Here!" A special operations team member from behind, armed to the teeth, stepped forward.

"Can we still capture the wave frequency signal?" Lin Xiao asked.

"We extended the monitoring range to the direction where the enemy's command center may escape, but we still cannot capture the high-frequency and clear communication wave frequency." The people in the monitoring team whispered back: "Their command center must be They are on the move and are consciously defending against special operations. They have probably given up on using military communication equipment and are probably using civilian mobile phones for command."

"Is it easy to identify civilians?" Lin Xiao asked, licking his lips.

"It's not easy to screen. It's very close to Yanbei and Hucha. There are too many living towns and troops from all sides around. We don't have a monitoring terminal. We only use a mobile terminal to monitor. There is definitely no way to effectively screen." The special operations team member shook his head and replied: "The New First Army itself has brigade-level special operations units. It is normal for them to have a strong sense of defense in this regard."

Lin Xiao thought about it for a long time, lowered his head and pulled out a miniature tablet from his leg bag. After calling up the map, he said: "Their retreat direction is to the west of Yanbei. I divided the surrounding area into four parts. Each of our four teams will Occupy an area and quickly launch a search. If you find the enemy command center, report it to me immediately."

"We don't have airborne means of transportation, so advancing on foot will be a bit slow." the special operations team member reminded.

"It's hard for us to find us, and it's hard for them to run away." Lin Xiao licked his chapped lips: "Their headquarters must have been separated. On the way, they had to avoid the pursuit and artillery fire of the mixed brigade and the Lin Corps. Their speed will not be much faster than ours. And the airdrop location of our third and fourth teams is very close to the west side of Yanbei, so we have a certain advantage."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he immediately converted the punctuation points on the map directly into digital information and sent it to the other three teams and the special forces members of his own team.

"Advance, try your best to avoid the fighting area and the enemy's medium-sized or above combat units, but if you encounter a small group of skirmishers, you can ambush." ​​After Lin Xiao made a forward gesture, he immediately walked along the path to the bottom of the mountain col.

…

In the battle area about 150 kilometers to the west of Yanbei, Yang Liandong's division-level headquarters was disguised as a battalion-level combat unit, driving a military pickup truck and off-road vehicle dedicated to the infantry battalion, and was approaching a living village. Drive forward.

Modern warfare has undergone earth-shaking changes from before. Fully digital information computing allows battalion-level and even company-level combat units to carry out military strikes against enemy forces effectively and accurately. There was a documentary called "The Makers of War" before the 2000s. The data report it gave showed that the number of civilian deaths directly caused by regional wars after 1990 has dropped significantly because modern wars are more purposeful. It is clear that the attack areas of aircraft, artillery, tanks and warships are also more precise.

But the lack of direct casualties does not mean that the war has no harm to the people. On the contrary, the indirect harm is even greater than before. War pollution, economic losses, food reserve losses, and resource losses will all cause war-torn areas to fall into long-term pain. It is not an exaggeration to say that people are in dire straits.

In the Living Village, a large number of people stood on the middle street, looking at the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke outside. Their eyes were no longer frightened, but only numb.

On the peripheral road, more than a dozen off-road vehicles and pickup trucks were speeding. Yang Liandong took a civilian phone and asked: "Have the leading troops arrived at the evacuation position?! Contact, continue to contact...!"

In the vast wasteland, amid the endless snow shell, a special operations team member grabbed a soldier by the neck and asked: "Is the convoy in front of you the command vehicle of your division?"

The soldier pursed his lips and did not reply.

The special operations team member was not in a hurry, and just said calmly: "If you don't tell the six deserters, I will kill you and continue to ask the remaining five people."

The soldier was trembling and silent for a while, then lowered his head and replied: "It should be the command vehicle of the division headquarters. When I ran, I heard the company commander say that the division headquarters disguised itself as a battalion headquarters convoy and rushed to the evacuation location."

"Very good," the special operations team member nodded: "You can be a prisoner of war with peace of mind."

…

Ten seconds later, the other three teams quickly moved towards the living village.

Lin Xiao quickly shuttled through the snow and shouted into the headset: "They are very close to the evacuation point, and the third team can attack."

"receive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain of the third team immediately made an attack gesture towards the sniper in the distance.

"Bang!"

Barrett roared.

"Boom!"

The armor-piercing bullet hit the windshield of the first off-road vehicle, and the driver died on the spot.
