Chapter 41 "How to command the infantry platoon in daily life"
In addition to carrying two 9-man motorized infantry squads and two direct fire groups, the three armored vehicles.
Amber and Major Randall also sat in the car.
(In addition to the driver and commander, the crew compartment of Mongoose 4 can hold 8 people. The distribution method is 3 people on the left and right, and 2 more people in the middle)
Amber will himself and Motorized infantry and a 'Mongoose 4' form an assault group responsible for the frontal attack.
Major Randall serves as the temporary commander of the support group.
He will maneuver from the left side of the battlefield with the other two unladen 'Mongoose 4' according to the path set by Amber.
In addition to attacking the imperial infantry on the left side of the village, the support team also needs to provide lateral fire support to the frontal battlefield.
Theoretically speaking, the support team should not only operate with vehicles, but should also have accompanying infantry to provide support.
However, due to the serious shortage of manpower in this motorized infantry platoon, Amber really did not have any extra men on hand.
And he had to ensure the intensity of the frontal attack first, so he could only let Major Randall 'wish for his own good luck'.
In response, Mr. Major responded with two middle fingers.
As for Isabel, she stayed in the communication relay vehicle at the rear, responsible for directing electronic warfare and ensuring normal communication among the troops.
At the same time, we must contact the federal troops in the village as soon as possible to prepare them for a counterattack.
Although these two unarmed vehicles stayed in the preparation area and did not participate in the attack, their situation was actually equally dangerous.
Because all the combatants have been taken away, Amber can't even gather the security team responsible for rear security.
In case of encountering the imperial troops, there is no other way to fight except to run away and "blackout" the opponent.
Actually, Amber is a little unfamiliar with commanding a mechanized infantry platoon in combat.
After all, before coming to this world, he was already the main fleet commander of his guild.
More time is busy commanding large-scale fleet battles.
Therefore, whether it is individual combat or ground combat command, there has been no contact for a while.
But as the convoy began to move, Amber found that the dusty memories of ground combat command began to slowly emerge in her mind.
A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling returned to him.
"Attention all crews, turn on the combat encrypted communication mode!"
"Assault team, arrive at the attack area in 2 minutes, be ready to disembark during the march!"
>
"Car No. 4, turn on the air radar, search for enemy drones, and prepare for wide-area electronic jamming!"
A series of orders were issued by Amber. At this moment, he had completely integrated into the aircraft platoon. In the capacity of platoon leader.
As the distance continues to get closer, the drivers and commanders of the five armored vehicles can already see the 'offensive area' and 'offensive launch line' delineated by Amber in the tactical eyepieces.
This is not a reference object, but a large white circle and a white horizontal line that actually appear on the ground.
Based on the AR module integrated into the tactical eyepiece, Amber drew the area marks and line marks on the tactical map.
Not only will it be transmitted to the tactical map of everyone in the subordinate units through the data link, but it will also appear very intuitively on their tactical eyepieces and tactical visors.
Just like now.
After three standard 'Mongoose 4' wheeled armored vehicles drove into the large circle 'drawn' by Amber.
They reduced their traveling speed and opened the tailgate at the same time.
One after another, the mobile infantry quietly jumped out of the car.
And quickly dispersed into a battle formation behind the left and right sides of the armored vehicle.
Immediately afterwards, the two direct fire teams carrying 120mm mortars also jumped out of the vehicle.
In their tactical eyepieces, a path indicator line was guiding them to the mortar position set by Amber. Finally, there’s Amber.
After jumping out of the car, he directly turned on the optical invisibility, and then rushed forward in a sprint state.
At the same time, in addition to providing fire support to the assault group, a Mongoose 4 continued to accompany the infantry.
The other two armored vehicles, under the command of Randall, switched to the left and left quickly in column.
In most people’s minds, psychic agents are existences similar to special forces.
They do tasks such as infiltrating behind enemy lines, sabotaging, and killing key targets.
But in fact, psychic agents are often active on the frontline battlefield.
In addition to conducting close reconnaissance for ground troops and assisting ground troops in attack and defense.
They can often rely on their special abilities to open a breakthrough during the stalemate stage of the battle.
Single soldiers fighting HCP is not a legend in this world.
While Amber was sprinting, the electronic warfare technicians on the ultra-short wave reconnaissance and jamming vehicle sent a message:
"Sir, a small reconnaissance drone, number 2, was discovered. Cross-circling investigation! ”
The air radar captured two slow-moving small targets. After visual confirmation with the optical lens, they were determined to be individual drones released by the imperial forces.
In fact, according to standard investigation procedures, the air search should have started long ago.
But at this stage, a large part of the comprehensive warning systems of military drones can warn against radar scanning.
Coupled with small, slow, and low targets, it is actually difficult for air radar to detect them.
So in order not to alert the enemy, Amber finally decided to adopt the tactic of ‘delaying the startup of the radar’.
Amber looked at the tactical map and saw that the two small triangles representing the two mobile infantry squads were about to cross the 'attack initiation line'.
The two fire teams also arrived at the location marked as a mortar position inside the 'offensive area'.
Four motorized infantrymen should be nervously assembling a 120mm mortar.
According to the current progress, at the "H+8" time point agreed by Amber, the motorized infantry will cross the 'offensive initiation line' and begin the assault.
The two direct fire teams will also complete the work of setting up guns and start preparing for calibration.
After confirming that everything was progressing according to the combat plan, Amber also issued instructions to the electronic warfare technicians.
"Start to interfere and destroy their eyes."
"Roger, sir!"
The electronic warfare technician immediately received the signal from the vehicle-mounted automatic management system. Passed the operation of electronic warfare module.
At the same time, the mast antenna is also raised high.
The control band used by military drones is mainly microwave, whether it is the Empire or the Federation.
The line-of-sight link of small short-range UAVs generally uses VHF, UHF, L or S band.
The ultra-short wave reconnaissance and jamming vehicle that entered electronic warfare mode quickly locked onto the wave band used by the two small drones.
Although the Empire's military small drones, their data links use frequency hopping technology to prevent interference.
But this small drone is only so big, and the data link module that can be inserted into it is not very high in terms of power or computing power.
Therefore, when facing professional electronic warfare ground vehicles, it is difficult to guarantee survival, not to mention the ability to fight back.
The ultra-short wave reconnaissance jamming vehicle quickly obtained the lowest and highest hopping frequencies of the frequency hopping communication systems of the two drones through electronic reconnaissance.
Then, the electronic warfare technicians started full-bandwidth blocking and jamming.
