Chapter 537: Reconnaissance line of defense

On the high ground on the east side of this small village is the resident of the Presidential Guard, which is actually a few dirt hills. Please search ()! In the fastest novel, the terrain here is not high, and it is not a strategic location, so neither the National Liberation Organization nor the original government forces sent troops to occupy it.
But now there is a troop stationed here. This troop is no one else. It is the capital garrison of President McKellen of Gansu. The number of this unit is not large, but its combat effectiveness is the strongest in the entire Gansu government army. It is said that more than 400 qualified military elites were initially selected by President McKellen to enter the Presidential Guard.
However, as the army continued to expand and eventually became larger and larger, the shortcomings of the army’s lack of officers became apparent. Forcing President McKellen to continuously transfer soldiers from his private army to this presidential guard to serve as grass-roots officers. As a result, the organization of the presidential guard is getting bigger and bigger, and it finally becomes enough to deter the capital garrison.
However, these three thousand people are the essence of this force, and they are the strongest military collection of President McGlen. This time, under the leadership of Bai Xiezi, the railway bridge from the capital to the Azura River has broken through all the way, breaking through the defense of the National Liberation Organization.
The tactics adopted by the National Liberation Organization to block and consume the enemy's vital forces, both sides are fighting positional wars and wars of attrition. However, military strength is obviously not at the same level, and although the gap between weapons and equipment is small, the National Liberation Organization clearly lags behind the opponent by an entire era in the concept of war and the use of tactics.
The guerrillas can only be guerrillas, and once they enter a small-scale battle. The National Liberation Organization immediately showed signs of decline, retreating again and again, and finally could only retreat to the side of the railway bridge, holding on to the side with amazing courage and fearless sacrifice.
The capital garrison troops here, although a large part of the offensive troops were shunted away, they were still tightly deployed. Through preliminary reconnaissance, Lin Rui judged that there were at least three infantry companies left behind in the entire headquarters, plus one directly under the artillery company and guard company. Their strength is still several times that of the defenders of the National Liberation Organization, and the defensive pressure on the side of the railway bridge is still great. And these companies here are obviously used as reserve teams and can participate in the attack at any time.
Therefore, Lin Rui was even more certain that this headquarters must be destroyed, and the armed forces of the national liberation organization on the other side of the river bank must be supported. But all this requires intelligence support, because they only have one chance. Without sufficient intelligence support, any action may encounter accidents. Therefore, Lin Rui asked Wang Haoze and Yelena to be responsible for the reconnaissance, once more information was obtained.
The rest are hidden in the woods outside the abandoned village. Although it is not a dangerous place, the woods are dense and it is a good place for Tibetans. As long as they are not searched by government forces, they cannot be found.
Lin Ruibiao, he felt an anxiety that he had never felt before. Because he knew that every minute of waiting, someone might be dying, and now their team of only six people became the only squad that could reverse the situation.
"Captain, I'm already back." It was Wang Haoze, another Chinese in the squad. He had just taken out to detect the enemy, and then he returned to his life.
"How is the situation?" Lin Rui's grim face made a little expression.
"The headquarters of the government forces is set up in a town 15 kilometers northeast. The defense is very tight. The town is guarded by government forces around the town. There are also patrols constantly patrolling. I have no chance to sneak in. I just watched from the periphery. Let’s take a look at their deployment. Here is the information I collected." Wang Haoze put the memory card on the battlefield recorder into the tactical computer.
"Well, we have to be careful in this operation. It deserves to be the most elite presidential guard in the government. The tactical quality of this commander is indeed top-notch." Lin Rui said solemnly.
"But I found the government army’s fuel depot. Probably their motorized troops were advancing too fast. The fuel transportation turned out to be stacked in the open. There were a lot of tankers and hundreds of oil barrels. There is a chance." Wang Haoze said.
"Oh! Their fuel depot? Where is it guarded by how many people?" Lin Rui asked with bright eyes.
"It's about five kilometers away from their station, between the highway and the town. The government army may have refueled the frontline troops, so they didn't place the warehouse in a safer rear. The defenders did. Quite a few. I observed that at least one infantry company. In order to prevent the enemy’s sneak attack, three lines of defense were arranged around the fuel depot. Each line of defense was guarded by soldiers. At the same time, there were a large number of patrols, even a small number. The armored vehicle is there." Wang Haoze said in detail.
"Strong attack is definitely not possible. On the one hand, the enemy is too few, and on the other hand, it is too close to the headquarters of the government forces. Once the gunshots sound, the government forces in the station can arrive in a few minutes." Lin Rui frowned and said. .
"Captain, how about we sneak in in disguise as we did last time? Once we get close to the government army's fuel depot, a fire can make the dogs reimburse all their fuel supplies." Wang Haoze whispered.
"No." Lin Rui thought about it and shook his head. "Our main goal is the enemy headquarters. Although destroying their fuel depot can cause them some trouble, it will not solve the fundamental problem. We exposed in advance. This is not worth the loss. Has Yelena come back, what news does she have?"
"I don't know." Wang Haoze shook his head, "She and I are not in the same direction. But she has always been good at disguising and penetrating, and maybe she will find more than me."
"I'm back." Yelena drilled out of the bushes, her body was covered with leaves and dead branches, and her face was also covered with colorful green oil paint, walking in the woods, as if she had merged with the trees.
"Tell me, how is the situation in your place?" Lin Rui nodded.
"There are three lines of defense, barbed wire fences, guarded by layers of soldiers. I tried to sneak in and found it a little difficult, but it was not without the opportunity." Yelena whispered.
"So, how are the three lines of defense of the government army set up? How far is each line of defense from the headquarters?" Lin Rui wanted to ask for a moment.
"The three lines of defense of the government are set up with the headquarters as the center. The outermost line of defense is about three kilometers away from the headquarters, and the number of defenders is one platoon from the south, east, and northwest. The second line of defense is less than two kilometers from the headquarters. The government army set up a road card there to check the passing vehicles and soldiers, and the number of defenders was also large. The third line of defense was set up near the headquarters, and the government army’s barracks were also there. That line of defense was the general camp and the commander. The department surrounded them." Yelena said as she took off the memory card from the helmet.
Their helmets are equipped with battlefield recorders, a small camera device. Enough to record all their battlefield intelligence.
