Chapter 1372: Report

The first Mexican mixed division led by Major General Brenita arrived in Merida by sea, stayed on the outskirts for three days to receive supplies, and drove to the real front to join the battle sequence.
However, because the Yucatan Peninsula is too wide, the area controlled by a division of only 8,000 people is very limited. However, after accepting the order of Governor Alfonso, the division commander, Brittata, launched an attack on the enemy with the conviction that the blood would serve the country.
In fact, the end-time population has plummeted. The Yucatan Peninsula is too big. This thing is more than 300 kilometers wide, and the total population on the peninsula, which is nearly 500 kilometers to the south, is not more than one million. There are large uninhabited areas on the peninsula, and it is difficult for eight thousand people to control all the cities.
However, due to the air and sea blockade of Enclave, the landing efficiency of the Aurora Army was extremely low. Lieutenant Colonel Isho, who fled to Merida, drove out daily to conduct investigations. The result was that Aurora's troops landed in a small port called Playa del Carman south of Cancun.
The key is ..., it has been landing for several days, and its total strength is less than a thousand.
With so few enemies, Major-General Brienita's confidence increased. He immediately led an armored battalion and an elite mechanized first regiment directly under the division to kill him. The target was directed at the small city of Praia del Carman. Following the departure was a contingent of journalists, led by Rubin.
As a member of the Governor's Mansion, Rubin originally ran an errand to the old housekeeper Martin. This time he was sent out on a mission to report the heroic record of the first division. He set off with the division and encountered big news just the first day.
"Damn it!" A platoon officer stepped out of the roadside medical team's tent and kept swearing. There were constant screams in the tent behind him, and busy yelling by medical staff.
The medical team of this regiment is located on Highway 180 east of Merida City. Currently, the combat units of a mixed division are moving along this road. Due to the large number of troops and rapid advancement, it ran hundreds of kilometers a day and reached Valladolid in the central peninsula.
It was only near Valladolid that the striker was attacked.
"It should be a guerrilla." The platooning officer who scolded him gave an interview with Rubin and said resentfully: "We are a regiment investigation company, which is responsible for armed investigation. My platoon is five big Lynx armored reconnaissance vehicles. Advancing like a fan, it was suddenly attacked when it reached the outskirts of the city. "
Although he had a recording pen, Rubin kept taking notes and kept recording. While listening to the description of the platoon officer, he recorded in the book: "Our reconnaissance unit found the enemy on the outskirts of Valladolid, um ..., found the second guard of the main guard of the Aurora Corps."
The platoon officer continued: "The enemy set up roadblocks on the road, and we had to leave the road and detour. When our formation was scattered, the enemy launched an attack while our team could not take care of each other."
Rubbing scratched his head for a while, and continued to write in the book: "Our elite scouts took the lead in finding the enemy's position. Through various confirmations ..." He looked up and asked, "Ensign, what's your name? first name?"
"Rodman."
"The second Lieutenant Rodman who led the team, after careful judgment, found loopholes in the enemy's defense, decided to launch a raid. His five five Lynx armored reconnaissance vehicles had powerful firepower and had an overwhelming advantage in equipment." Writes this, Rubin All felt very satisfied.
The second lieutenant officer continued: "Our company commander made a mistake at that time. He should arrange for the infantry to get off the road and enter the grass on the roadside for fire deterrence. The armored vehicle provided fire support at the rear. But he was too anxious."
But Rubin wrote, "Facing the raid, the enemy commander made a mistake in panic."
The officer said, "The enemy has only one machine gun fire point firing at us from 300 meters away. I divided my men into two parts. One part was directly advanced and the other was surrounded by the left wing."
Rubin wrote, "In this first battle, Lieutenant Rodman made a simple and subtle tactical decision. He let three big Bobcats attack from the front, and two other Big Bobcats carried out an attack."
The second lieutenant said, "But when my subordinates launched an attack, the adversary suddenly launched an anti-tank missile from our side. We knew nothing about it at that time, and it was not until the missile destroyed a vehicle that we realized that it was a trap."
Lieutenant Rodman said this was very frustrating. "We were all stunned at the time. The leading armored car was calling for support on the radio continuously, but we were not sure where the enemy was."
But in the book of Rubin, it changed a lot ...
"The enemy was stunned by our raid, and its commander was unable to make an effective command. We destroyed an armored vehicle on the opponent's position on the spot and pursued the fleeing enemy." Rubin scratched his head, again Asked, "Ensign, how many enemies did you encounter?"
"About a dozen people, the number of guerrillas is not large, but they are very flexible and very familiar with the battlefield environment." The second lieutenant officer said, "The battle ended so sloppily. We lost a car and injured several brothers. But he didn't even see what the enemy looked like.
Our company commander did not dare to chase easily, so he took us back. This battle was too failed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ We were all very sad about it, and the morale of the entire platoon was very low. "
Rubin wrote, "The enemy has about one company, the tactical coordination is very poor, the quality is not high, the fighting will is not strong, and it is particularly weak from the perspective of the corpse. The victory of the first battle gave the frontline officers and soldiers confidence in this war."
This is the preliminary material. Rubin also took a group photo with the retired Captain Rodman, who had retreated from the front, and found the bodies of several dead officers and soldiers to take pictures. Before the picture was taken, he asked to change the uniform to the Aurora Corps. No suitable military uniform? Feel free to get some blood clothes and make up!
That night, Rubin polished the manuscript again, and made up a lot of heroic and witty scenes of Lieutenant Rodman. The battle in less than five minutes was expanded to two thousand words, with pictures and photos, and then sent back to Merida by radio.
The result also took less than five minutes, and the Governor's Mansion replied: "The Governor is very dissatisfied with the manuscript. The text is not realistic enough and the battle scene is not described in detail. To make the reader feel that the battle is fierce, the enemy's resistance is extremely futile.
The description of our senior military officers in the battle is zero, and it fails to highlight the strong enthusiasm of our officers and men for fighting, and does not describe the significance of the battle. And how can such a battle be without captives? There should be interviews about the captives. "
The first time Rubin wrote such a manuscript, the description that was originally satisfactory was actually criticized. He scratched his head in distress, and added some descriptions of the battle and our senior officer's command. What about captives ...?
"Boss, there are really no captives in this battle. I can't interview." Rubin had to complain on the radio.
"If you don't make one, you still need to teach me?" A governor's man who seemed to be sorely replied quickly.
Rubin sighed. When this reporter lied a lot, it was a passerby from this point on.
