Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Chapter 531 Setting a Bait

At the frontier of Conghua, Hao Dapao retreated to the 83rd ridge. He shouted,

"Brothers, I found a time bomb on the logistics truck. Everyone, pay attention, set the timer for fifteen minutes! They will definitely drive away to seize our tanks. Let them take them to the sky in a homemade plane!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers cried out and began to make preparations nervously!

Hao Dapao pointed at the company commander and shouted,

"Old Cat, immediately establish a blocking position on the ridge to cover the retreat of our brothers. If you find the enemy, shoot them. Don't give them time to check the vehicles!"

"Yes!"

Hao Dapao looked at the smoke in the sky that was about to dissipate, and he was extremely anxious and shouted,

"Everyone retreat, quickly!"

A mile away, the first platoon of the company responsible for the cover mission was firing heavy machine guns and tank guns, but the target of their attack was the mound!

All the soldiers in the company are underground party members and progressive youths!

They are crucial to the success of this play!

Although half of Hao Dapao's troops are his own people, there are still many good family members and spies. It is still quite risky to perform this drama!

But we can't not act either. If the casualty data is too small, it's simply unrealistic.

It took a full five minutes before each company finally crossed the ridge.

Hao Dapao looked back at the tanks and armored vehicles scattered at the foot of the mountain, then turned and left.

As soon as he left, Wu Yunlong appeared. He had served as the commander of the tank battalion in the Battle of Magic City. This time he appeared entirely for this batch of tanks and armored vehicles!

"Everyone, please pay attention! Only the car with the time bomb removed can leave. The rest of the cars must remain stationary! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The soldiers ran towards the tanks and armored vehicles like ants. They worked in groups of two, one to start the vehicle and the other to crawl under the vehicle to dismantle the bomb.

In Hao Dapao's 1st Armored Battalion, not all soldiers installed time bombs under the vehicles. In a panic, the soldiers might set up a trip grenade or throw the bomb into the cab!

After clearing the dangerous vehicles, they stepped on the accelerator to the maximum and drove one kilometer away, along the excavated tunnel into the mountain. When they reappeared, they were already several kilometers away!

Under the cover of smoke, the soldiers stepped on the accelerator! Only when they hid 20 kilometers away would they be safe!

On the ridge of Hill 83, the company responsible for covering the attack fired fiercely at the ground! The bullets sent mud flying!

Most of the vehicles were driven away, but there were eight tanks and more than twenty armored vehicles whose bombs could not be found. It might be that they were not deployed, or they might be hidden too secretly!

Wu Yunlong looked at his watch and shouted,

"Everyone, retreat immediately!"

The young soldier Mianhua refused to listen and forced his way into the tank. Before closing the door, he yelled,

"Captain, one life in exchange for a tank is worth it!"

Wu Yunlong was furious and shouted,

"Bullshit! Get off right here, or I'll shoot you!"

Seeing this, the other soldiers quickly got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove away!

Wu Yunlong was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down, but it was no use. He jumped into an armored vehicle and followed them away!

Leaving with them were many soldiers from the company, who, according to regulations, were “killed in action!”

Less than two minutes after the soldiers left, a tank exploded. It wasn't that there was no bomb on the tank, but the bomb was stuffed into the fuel tank!

Wu Yunlong didn't care about anything else and roared,

"Everyone get out of the car, hurry up, there's a bomb!"

The soldiers had already driven the tanks to the reverse slope, and even if they were bombarded, they could withstand it for a while. Everyone jumped off and ran to the nearest air-raid shelter!

But not everyone could escape. Some soldiers had already jumped out of the tank, but the bomb exploded and gasoline splattered everywhere, sticking to their bodies and unable to be put out!

Eight tanks and more than twenty armored vehicles, half of them exploded!

Wu Yunlong ran to the air-raid shelter, his anger filled with nowhere to vent. He stared at Cotton and roared,

"A soldier's duty is to obey orders! You just saw it, the potatoes and peppers were burned alive! They didn't have to die! For over a hundred years, countless martyrs have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to explore the path to save the country and the people. Why was it that only the revolution led by our Party succeeded? It's because we relied on scientific organization and strict discipline!"

"Don't think you've accomplished merit just by seizing tanks and armored vehicles! You're dead wrong! Disobeying orders on the battlefield is punishable by death! Considering this is your first offense, I'll give you a lighter sentence. You're not allowed to drive a vehicle for the next year!"

The soldiers were anxious and shouted,

"Captain!"

"Shut up! Anyone who dares to plead will be punished even more severely!"

……

Time goes back to three minutes ago.

Two kilometers away, the observer's voice came from Hao Dapao's walkie-talkie.

"A large number of enemy troops have been spotted in area NW45. They've emerged from the tunnels and are cheering around the vehicles. The tanks and armored vehicles are full of people!"

"Their tunnels are too dense!"

"Oh my god, they found a time bomb under the car. Attack! Attack quickly!"

Hao Dapao's face changed drastically and he shouted,

"Artillery Company! Artillery Company, immediately cover area NW45 with firepower. Fire all your shells. Don't leave a single piece of steel intact for the enemy! We must make them understand: my tanks are a burnt mess!"

Half a minute later, countless shells hit.

"Great job! The enemy has taken to the sky in their homemade planes! This wave of bombardment will kill at least a thousand people!"

Less than a minute later, the detective's voice rang out again.

"Oh my god, the tunnels they dug in the mountain are big enough for tanks! A tank has been driven in! Increase the intensity of the artillery fire!"

Just as Hao Dapao was about to ask for the direction, he heard a burst of gunfire from the walkie-talkie, followed by the investigator's muffled groan. It was obvious that he had been hit.

Hao Dapao had no intention of staying and shouted,

"withdraw!"

This time, the 1st Armored Battalion suffered heavy losses, with only the rear transport and maintenance vehicles left, and almost all the tanks and armored vehicles were lost.

The number of combat personnel also decreased by 30%!

At the Jitoushan Command Center, Xie Zhiyu stared at the sand table with a frosty face. He looked up at Wu Heng and asked,

"The enemy has built so many tunnels in this area. Could it be some important organization of theirs?"

"Perhaps it's their headquarters! It's entirely possible. This is the junction of Conghua and Zengcheng. If anything happens in Zengcheng, Conghua can provide immediate support! I remember the Telecommunications Department detected a small amount of radio signals here before."

Wu Heng immediately ordered people to investigate the records. He was shocked when he checked.

Although the area has very little communication, one record indicates that there may be a high-power radio station in the area! However, this has not been confirmed, so the Telecommunications Department did not report it!

Xie Zhiyu rubbed his eyebrows and said with emotion,

"Hao Dapao has walked into someone's trap this time! Fortunately, he was smart enough to set a bait and killed a large number of enemies, otherwise he would have lost a lot of money this time!"

Wu Heng handed over a battle damage report and said,

"The 1st Armored Battalion has been severely damaged this time. They have lost almost all their technical equipment, with only a few trucks left. More than half of their personnel have been killed or wounded!"

Beside him, Staff Officer Xu yelled into the phone,

"What do you mean you can't find it? How can you miss a target as big as a tank? Keep looking!"

He put down the phone, saw Xie Zhiyu looking at him, and immediately said,

"The 3rd Armored Battalion said they couldn't find the damaged tanks they'd hidden in the belly of the mountain! When we asked them why, they said they were afraid they'd be bombed last night, so they dragged them into caves dug by the enemy. The fighting was so intense that some of the cave entrances collapsed, and they couldn't even tell which mountain they were in! Quite a few were lost, about 20 or 30!"

Xie Zhiyu thought for a moment and asked,

"Is it in our defense zone?"

"Yes!"

Xie Zhiyu waved his hand and said indifferently,

"Then it can't be lost. Let the logistics department slowly search for it! The most urgent task now is to prevent the enemy from counterattacking! I know you guys are exhausted, but we can't relax yet. We must speed up the repair work!"

"Yes!"

Foster shook his head and didn't care about it. He yawned, wrapped himself in the blanket, and prepared to take a nap.
