Vault 32

Chapter 232 Bunar's Invitation Part Three

It was peaceful, like a holiday village from morning to night, without any noise, just quiet and leisurely waiting.Unexpectedly, the Soviets did not launch an offensive on the second day, and not even half of the Soviet troops appeared in this mountainous area in the next four or five days.There were only a few helicopters wandering back and forth in the sky for a few times, but they didn't stay too long. It seemed that they took a few photos and left here again, and they didn't want to fire rockets or heavy machine guns to deter them.

Of course, at the edge of this mountainous area, the temporary position of the Soviets has also been dug.If you look from the sky, this mountainous area is already surrounded by tunnel positions in all directions, it seems that the tunnels like iron chains are arranged in the hilly area on the edge of the mountainous area. Countless Soviet soldiers are running back and forth in these tunnels or going in and out. The firepower combination of machine guns and light machine guns is also extremely effective. There are even more than a dozen large-caliber mortars in the rear, which are being dragged by the Soviet soldiers, and appear in the mortar positions that have already been built. .

Under the seemingly peaceful atmosphere, there is a tense atmosphere of war.Even in the defensive bunkers in the mountains, strict vigilance has been carried out. The boys of the Marine Corps are always ready at their posts. As long as there is any abnormal situation, the right to fire has been directly delegated to the front line at the captain level. , They can also react in the shortest time.And even the supporting artillery fire in the potholes around the cave base is always loaded and ready to be fired.

The previous tragic battle has sounded the alarm for them in the cave base. They have a perfect permanent defense bunker group, and they have killed nearly [-] people under the attack of the Soviets, which has already explained their shortcomings.If it was an ordinary army, without the support of Liszt's golden finger, I am afraid that in the turbulent attack waves, one after another defensive bunkers were broken down, and finally the entire surface position of the cave base was completely surrendered.

In conventional combat, there is no Goldfinger who can provide a large amount of ammunition at all times, and there is no soldier recruited by Goldfinger who can maintain a constant morale in fierce battles.This battle itself is an asymmetric war, not only the difference in numbers between the Soviets and Liszt, but also the perfect bunker group and firepower network, as well as the timeliness of artillery support, have also made the asymmetry between the two sides reach the peak in the fierce battle. climax.

This is also the main reason why the Soviets did not continue to attack. Fighting in this extremely complex environment, the pressure brought by logistics prevented them from using armored forces on a large scale like the plains.What's more, oil resources are already severely scarce. For Lister, which is hidden in the mountains, without any strategic or tactical military goals, it has become impossible to use aviation helicopter units and tactical bombers that already lack fuel. .

The current Soviet troops have to wait for weapons and ammunition to be transported by sea and land from the outpost on the Queen Charlotte Islands, and can only transport the boxes of bullets through the soldiers' own shoulders. And heavy machine guns and light machine guns are deployed in temporary tunnel positions in this mountainous area.There is also the large caliber mortar, the 120mm caliber mortar body is almost a large heavy steel pipe, even if ten strong Soviet soldiers cooperated with each other to carry it, it took a full three days to finally arrive at the Among the complex mountainous areas in the remaining veins of the Rocky Mountains.

The permanent defensive bunkers built on various hills have already made the Soviets feel the deepest pressure. Steel plates are also inserted in the thick reinforced concrete. Even tactical bombing cannot destroy these fortifications, except for large-caliber Mortars use shock to stun the people inside, so they can't really conquer the surface position of this mountainous area with only infantry and machine gun fire.

The firepower network in the rainy night had frightened the retreating Soviets, and the roaring artillery bombardment anytime and anywhere made the groups of Soviet infantry who wanted to use the rainy night cover to attack, even if they relied on advanced aliens. The original power armor of armor technology was still beaten with heavy casualties in the dense firepower net.According to the gathering of troops after the battle, they concluded that they had achieved more than half of the casualties that rarely occurred in wars, and the results of killing the enemy were unknown.

No one dared to continue the offensive with determination, not only the protests from the low-level infantry soldiers, but even the middle and high-level commanders had already faced the well-built bunkers and lost the courage to continue the offensive.If there is no air force support, even if they have the fire support of large-caliber artillery, they will allow their troops to officially launch an offensive. Even considering the current tense confrontation between Canada, the US Federation, and the Soviet Union, they can no longer tolerate continued failure.

Although the tactical failure was nothing to the Soviets, the military pressure from the US federal government always made it impossible for the Soviets, which had extended their tentacles to North America, to continue to bear the slightest bit of pressure.North America is still the main site of the United States Federation, especially the United States Federal Army, which is gradually moving its main forces to Mexico, and has turned the land close to Canada into a complete military management zone.

Even now in Canada, there are already pro-American factions protesting, especially when it happens on Canadian soil, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Canada. Even Canada has no right to interfere with the humiliation of the troops of both sides, which has already made some people in Canada Demonstrations were held.In addition, the lack of global energy resources and the traffic control that has begun all over the world have made the three countries in North America as dangerous as a powder keg that can be ignited by a single spark.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have been deployed in North America, all of which are in a state of first-level alert, not only to prepare to defend against the opponent's attack, but also to take the initiative to attack military strikes.But on the west coast of the Rocky Mountains, in a mountainous area among the remaining veins, Liszt and his troops seemed like outsiders, like a copper pea that was an eyesore, standing there abruptly, in front of everyone. I can't wait for him to be wiped out, but he refuses to fall no matter what.

However, on the evening of the third day, a Black Hawk gunship hovered above the mountainous area, and slowly hovered in the air in the sight of a defensive bunker. At the same time, the side hatch was opened, and a The soldier in the combat uniform of the U.S. Army stretched out half of his body, waving a flag in his hand, and the height of the helicopter gradually descended with the shaking of the flag, appearing on the gentle hillside below the defensive bunker.
