Girls und War

And when Liangyue asked if they could defend, Doragon answered yes.

Liangyue was very satisfied with this answer.

Being able to defend is of course the best answer. Even if Dragon says she can't, she won't force it.

But just like Xia Shu said, if we give up control of the mountains, it will be difficult to take it back later.

However, when Doragon asked Liangyue how long they needed to defend, Liangyue did not give a specific answer.

Because the Flower District is now gathering troops at full speed towards the source of the two rivers, she doesn't know how long she will have to defend until the logistics department completes the preparation of the passage.

And most importantly, the Red Dragon Squadron doesn't have much time to prepare.

Doragon hung up the radio and retreated down the hillside.

As she quickly ran down the mountain, she succinctly said to the several team leaders waiting below, "Let's go to the first line of defense and prepare! Qingxian, notify the Phoenix Squadron to assist! Everyone, hurry!"

Without saying a word, the girls, led by their respective team leaders, rushed towards the defensive location that had been agreed upon long ago.

The roads in the mountains are divided into sections, and the connection between mountains and roads is irregular.

For example, the traces of water falling on the glass during rain are like the trajectory of a mountain range: sometimes they converge, sometimes they separate.

And the water flow is intermittent.

And those discontinuous places are the roads in the mountains.

Unlike flexible infantry, armored units have higher requirements for roads.

They cannot cross mountains and hills, so they can only choose to take the relatively flat mountain roads.

There were several mountain passes that they had to pass through to get from the coast to the Two Rivers Plain. Therefore, the Red Dragon Squadron only had to set up defenses in these places, and the armored forces would not be able to pass directly through.

Or they could take a detour, heading towards the Inner Sea for more than ten kilometers, and then go around the Tuqu Mountains through several other mountain passes.

Or send infantry, cooperate with air support and tank advance, and forcibly break through the defense of the Red Dragon Squadron.

Otherwise, as long as the Red Dragon Squadron destroyed and intercepted the armored vehicles of the unit in front, the team behind would be directly blocked at the entrance of the mountain road and would have no way to pass.

After all, this is a mountainous area and the troops cannot be deployed at all.

The saying "one man can hold the pass against ten thousand" is exactly what this kind of terrain means.

But the former method is not feasible at all, because the sea area will not allow the snow area to get close to the inner sea.

If there is any sign of this, the sea area will push the snow area back desperately.

Therefore, the only option in the snow area is to storm the Red Dragon Squadron’s defense point.

It can be predicted that in the next few hours, the Red Dragon Squadron will definitely feel extremely intense offensive pressure.

At the same time, the sea area should have noticed the strategic intentions of the snow area.

But they did not carry out any defense. Instead, they simply withdrew to part of the defense position in the east, leaving the entire forest empty.

It seems that they are also happy to see the Snow District and the Flower District fighting each other in this area.

Fortunately, the Red Dragon Squadron had already issued an advance warning, otherwise the Flower District might not have been able to react to the Snow District's surprise attack.

Xia Shu followed Doragon with rushes, waiting for her to give him a task at any time.

After Qingxian finished communicating with the Phoenix Squadron, he quickly told Doragon, "They went to defend the mountain pass in the northwest area! This is an order from the headquarters!"

"Northwest?" Doragon was a little unhappy, but still said, "That's fine. At least we don't have to worry about being attacked from the west and rear. Are there other companies nearby?"

"No! The nearest one will take two hours to arrive." Qingxian replied quickly, "But there is a tank company nearby that is starting up and is expected to enter the mountain in ten minutes."

"Are there any other combat resources?"

"A helicopter attack helicopter, gone."

"Have them all ready and be prepared to call for backup at any time."

"Roger that!"

After making a brief request for support, Doragon arranged the defensive tasks of each group.

Still following the original combat arrangement, the teams were scattered on both sides of the mountain pass, taking care of each other in defense.

If the enemy's attack is fierce, they will abandon the first defensive point and turn to defend the second and third lines.

Then a large number of teams from the snow area were dragged here.

"Xia Shu!" Doragon suddenly called her, pointing to the northeastern peak, "You go up there and defend. They will definitely send people to attack from that side!"

Xia Shu responded, then took Juncao and left the main group, running towards the mountain path.

"Be careful! If the situation seems wrong, retreat! Make your own decision!" Doragon reminded again.

"Got it!" Xia Shu replied, then turned into the forest and disappeared.

It took the Red Dragon Squadron half an hour to reach the first defense point. At this time, the snow area had just completed the landing and was gathering troops to prepare to attack the mountains.

When Xia Shu ran to the mountain, he heard a burst of gunfire coming from the forest.

I don’t know whether Doragon and the others had a firefight with the snow area or the sea area.

But from what I heard on the channel, the firefight was over and the demolition team was laying anti-tank mines.

Xia Shu observed the bare side of the mountain for a while, then quickly climbed to a higher place, found a huge rock shelter, and lay down under the rock with rushes.

She asked Juncus to prepare guns and ammunition, put on a chameleon camouflage cloak, and then picked up the telescope and looked towards the mountains and the coast.

The armored vehicles from the snowy area were entering the mountainous area, forming a long convoy. Although the distance was very far, Xia Shu easily spotted them.

Because they seemed to be in a hurry, they directly sent the white armored troops in snow camouflage.

Perhaps these troops had just been sent here at full speed from the high mountain front.

Xia Shu estimated the enemy's speed and reminded them in the channel, "The enemy is expected to arrive at the designated location in ten minutes."

Then he talked about the composition of the enemy's advance troops.

"Got it." After receiving the information, Doragon immediately adjusted the defensive position of the troops.

Xia Shu took the time to glance at the rushes and asked, "How do you feel?"

Rush carefully inspected the gun and replied, "It's in good condition and can be fired."

"No, I'm asking how you are." Xia Shu laughed.

Rush immediately looked embarrassed.

422. First-line Mountain Road Interception Operation

"I'm in good condition." Rush gave Xia Shu a calm smile.

Xia Shu nodded and felt relieved.

She pointed down the hillside, toward the coast, and said, "After a firefight, the enemy might send a small team from here to circle around to Doragon and the others' rear. We'll start by engaging in blocking fire. After repelling their attack, they'll target us. We'll retreat depending on the situation. Pay attention to your reconnaissance in this area."

Rush noted down Xia Shu's prediction and nodded very seriously.

Xia Shu touched her head, then pulled out the sniper rifle, pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet.

This time she brought three sniper rifles.

A handful of Spring Thunder-99, a handful of Scavenger, and a handful of White Snow that I just got.

Because it was not a night battle, I did not bring it with me.

The Scavenger was the primary weapon, specifically designed for combat against personnel. The Spring Thunder was a backup weapon, used for counter-material attacks. Shirayuki would temporarily provide close-range defense for Rush, but in actual close combat, Natsuki would likely be the one to wield it himself.

Rush is like a pendant next to Xia Shu.

A real enemy detection and alarm transport robot is probably just like this.

After completing the pre-war preparations, the mountains and forests soon fell into peace.

Xia Shu watched the enemy convoy approaching the valley little by little, and kept reporting the current situation to Doragon.

Xia Shu stopped transmitting information only when they were able to detect the enemy's situation with their naked eyes.

Because it's no longer necessary.

At this time, the Red Dragon Squadron was stationed on both sides of the valley. In order to retreat safely, they were more than one kilometer away from the mountain road.

It was almost at a distance where a gun couldn't hit anyone.

However, they were not prepared to stop the enemy with guns.

There are other interception equipment prepared.

The armored forces in the snow area have entered the valley, and their composition is slightly more complicated.

At the beginning was a vanguard consisting of road-clearing vehicles and off-road vehicles, followed by several tanks, and then the armored forces carrying soldiers.

After seeing the enemy's vanguard clearly, Doragon asked Qingxian, "How long will the airstrike last?"

"One minute and twenty seconds countdown." Qingxian replied immediately.

"Twenty seconds left to prepare for explosion! The target is the tanks at the back." Doragon quickly gave the order to the explosion team.

"understand!"

They immediately started the countdown.

After the tank arrived at the preset location, a series of earth-shaking explosions rang out from the valley.

Xia Shu also saw the terrifying pile of mud flying more than ten meters high in the valley, and even the small gravel next to it was constantly bouncing and jumping.

It seems that the demolition team has laid a considerable number of mines.

Several tanks were paralyzed in the middle of the road, but the reaction of the snow zone was also quite fast, as if they had prepared in advance to anticipate the defenders.

The armored vehicles deployed in formation, and a large number of infantry girls got off the vehicles and quickly scattered into the mountains and forests.

Doragon ignored the infantry and pointed at an enemy radar vehicle, saying, "You reckless woman! Destroy that radar vehicle for me!"

"OK!" The reckless woman quickly raised a rocket launcher and aimed at the radar vehicle.

A string of bright light with long smoke trailing quickly rushed to the center of the mountain path.

The radar vehicle was scrapped in the next moment by the explosion.

"Nice!" Doragon roared.

This way, there is no need to worry about the enemy quickly discovering the tactical bombers conducting air raids.

But at this moment, a cry suddenly came from the front, "Tank! Dodge!"

The members of the blasting team quickly jumped to the side to avoid it.

After a loud "boom", a huge crater was blown out on the hillside.

"Are you okay?" Doragon asked quickly.

"Cough cough cough, it's okay!" The reckless woman replied in the dust.

Fortunately, they had found a deep pit shelter in advance to avoid the tank fire, otherwise they would have suffered heavy casualties from this shelling.

Xia Shu looked at the tank group in the middle of the road. Several of them had already started firing back at the Red Dragon Squadron.

However, she only reported the situation in the channel and did not attack with an anti-material sniper.

Distance is one thing, but timing is also important.

It’s still a little too early to take action now.

Doragon hid behind the bunker and shouted orders amid the sound of artillery fire, "Use the thunder to fight back! Quick!"

After receiving the order, the two demolitionists immediately prepared the two vertical anti-tank rocket launchers that they had just applied for.

The rocket launcher was fired at an angle towards the sky, and the barrel was not aimed at the tank when it was aimed.

But after being launched, the rocket fell back like a falling leaf - it shot vertically down from the top of the tank.

The rocket instantly penetrated the fragile top of the tank and detonated the tank from the inside.

With two loud "booms", two more enemy tanks were destroyed.

The tank ruins thus formed an obstacle, blocking the entire mountain road.

The road clearing vehicle behind quickly drove over and prepared to clear the passage.
