Late at night, around 9:30.
The Warhammer Mercenary Group received the order, and their First Army, which consisted of 10,000 soldiers, began to move southward. The marching route stretched for more than 20 miles. Lightweight mechanized troops led the way, followed by heavy armored troops and baggage supplies. The scene was shocking.
The First Army's move to the south was the latest decision made by the top leadership, mainly to prevent the Chi Army from launching a surprise attack when the Second Army was suppressing the military activity space of Bana City.
…
About 200 kilometers south of Bana City, there is a natural port called Tahe. It was occupied by the Warhammer Mercenary Group about a week ago and used as one of the sea landing supply lines.
Why do we need to occupy the seaborne landing supply lines
Because the Warhammer Mercenary Group's area of activity is not on the Bana City side, they are operating on an expedition, and a large amount of supplies need to come from the sea or be directly airdropped.
As a result, it would take a lot of time for the Warhammer Mercenary Group's troops to spread out and occupy the area.
In modern warfare, the role of supply lines is directly related to whether the troops can maintain their combat capability! To put it bluntly, if your mechanical troops want to run, they need to refuel, right?! A soldier's magazine is empty, so they need to refill it, right? After several rounds of concentrated fire, the rocket troops run out of ammunition, and their combat capability is almost zero. If they don't refill it, how can they fight later
Therefore, the laying of supply lines is of vital importance and is also a test of the military commander's planning capabilities!
After the Warhammer Mercenary Group entered the outer area of Bana City, they have been seeking stability. It took them a week to slowly spread out, occupy the best attack locations, and slowly lay out the supply lines!
Today, Warhammer's more than 20,000 troops split up, one wave went south to defend the Chi Army, and the other wave went north, preparing to slowly suppress the Blackwater Legion's space for activities around Bana City.
Around ten o'clock.
Along the highway near the entrance to the Tahe Port, more than a hundred Warhammer mercenaries stood on both sides of the checkpoint, carrying out routine level one alert.
“Buzz!”
Dust was flying in the south direction, and a column of military vehicles was slowly coming. Looking around, there were about thirty vehicles, and most of them were large off-road military vehicles with strong maneuverability.
The convoy sped away and soon arrived near the checkpoint.
“Hualala!”
The Warhammer soldiers on both sides of the road immediately went on alert, loaded their guns, and looked ahead with a serious attitude!
To be honest, the difference between government troops and mercenaries is like that between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.
One has a stable job and a fixed salary, while the other relies on performance and ability to make a living!
As for the latter, if you don't do your job well and make frequent mistakes, your boss will no longer employ you and will simply fire you without any room for negotiation!
Therefore, leaving aside their professional combat capabilities, mercenary organizations generally have an impeccable work attitude, and the buying and selling of official positions and corruption are relatively rare, and it is difficult for soldiers to gain any personal benefits through nepotism.
The two sides met on the dry dirt road.
The black officer on the Warhammer side stood in the position and shouted with a loud speaker: "Hey, brother, why are you going against the flow?"
Inside the SUV, an officer yelled, "We are from the 75th Regiment of the First Army! Our defense zone has been transferred to the south... Damn it, we need to come back to get some supplies!"
"OK, OK, someone come down and show me the electronic code!"
"Hold on!"
"It can only be one person!" the black officer repeated.
Inside the car, a man in a Warhammer mercenary uniform looked back and waved at the herald at the back.
The herald sat in the back seat, wearing a headset, and his ten fingers were typing on the keyboard at a rapid speed!
Three seconds later!
A clear response came from the intercom: "Ready!"
"The beach landing operation begins!" The officer in front of him shouted concisely on the walkie-talkie, "Gentlemen, we only have twenty minutes! Fire!"
“Swish!”
Just as he finished speaking, a convoy claiming to be from the 75th Regiment returning to fetch supplies suddenly started moving. Three multi-purpose combat vehicles covered with black cloth suddenly moved forward, blocking the front at an angle!
"Stop!! Stop, or I'll open fire!" the Warhammer men shouted orders!
"Rocket troops, provide cover!" The officer in the lead car pushed open the door and jumped out: "Attack, attack!"
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…!!”
The officer who claimed to be from the 75th Regiment had just finished speaking when a large number of rocket launchers were suddenly fired from a dense forest far away in the direction of Bana City. The target location was the checkpoint on the Warhammer side!
“Da da da…!”
The sound of machine guns sweeping wildly rang out, and the people of the 75th Regiment began to attack without any warning!
In just four or five seconds, a large number of rocket launchers accurately landed within the checkpoint's defense area, and the earth-shaking explosions sounded one after another!
The rocket troops turned off the engine after the attack, and the soldiers from the 75th Regiment rushed down from the vehicles, pressing forward while shouting in unison: "Long live the Blackwater Corps!!!"
The canal exit on the south side of Bana City!!
The commander of the Blackwater Corps' Grizzlies waved his hands frequently: "Fighters, take off!!"
Forty helicopters took off from the inspection platforms on both sides of the canal and advanced to the port across the Tahe River at an extremely fast speed!
On both sides of the coast, densely packed small speedboats rushed out from the shore and rushed towards the landing site of Tahe River in an orderly manner! !
…
Inside Bernardo's estate.
Tagu didn't even bother to watch the real-time feedback from the Tahe battlefield. He only focused on the long supply lines and the troop division routes of the enemy's First and Second Armies.
"Here!!!" Tagu frowned and pointed at the sand table, saying simply: "Our border troops must not move! If we use 8,000 people to change the situation of the entire southern battlefield, we will definitely fail. We must make it impossible for the other side to find the target, so that they will be confused!"
"Yes, General!"
"What do the Orientals say?!" Tagu turned his head and asked the staff officer.
"They are so arrogant and think we are at an absolute disadvantage!" The Chief of Staff shrugged his shoulders. "I made a bet with them that within three days, the Warhammer Group will withdraw from the two attacking areas!!"
Tagu said, with his hands behind his back, "Then let him see our military capabilities, gentlemen!"
…
At the headquarters of the Warhammer Mercenary Group, a white general frowned and shouted, "Are you sure that the Blackwater Legion's troops on the border are not moving on a large scale?!"
"Absolutely not! Their main force is hiding in the defense line, and the other 10,000 people are defending the city!"
"… Then where did they come from?" The white general looked at the electronic map with his hands behind his back: "Did the Chi Army join the battle?"
…
Chi Army Base.
Jiangzhou put down the phone and said, "The insider said that the Tahe port was attacked?"
"Who did it?" Xin Xiaodong was a little confused: "The Blackwater Army only has a few people?! They won't take the initiative to attack... Shit, are they Shabi?!"
