Vault 32

Chapter 62 Soviet Outpost
Language is the most critical point for human beings to enter a civilized society. It is even no less than the earliest ancient apes who stood up, walked on two legs, and picked up things with their hands.When language appears in the process of human civilization, it has its unique charm, or conveys information, or inspires people, or mobilizes relationships, or destroys a person's psychological defense.

Liszt, who has studied psychology and linguistics by himself, is not as good at using the art of language as those professional politicians and psychologists, but it is enough to exert the effect of language under certain circumstances.Putting down the pencil in his hand, Liszt threw the map to Sofitel next to him, turned his head and glanced at the four team leaders who approached, with a calm expression on his face: "I think you all know what to do."

Gently tapping the table with his fingers, Liszt had a sharp look in his eyes.He looked at the squad leader in front of him, and at the same time fixed his eyes on Sofitel, who was serious and dignified, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. He nodded and said: "If we hurry up and act, maybe we can get some useful information." clue."

"understand!"

Sophie nodded, and he picked up the detailed map drawn with a pencil. Among them, the Anchorage defense line was the most conspicuous, occupying almost 50.00% of the map layout, and extending outward along the Anchorage defense line, except for their In addition to the hill where it is located, there are three other areas marked with dangerous symbols.And there is a line of text marked in English on it, which is quite an eyesore in Sofitel's eyes, and even among any troops on the Anchorage defense line, this is the greatest anger.

Soviet forward outpost.This line of characters is described in the three areas, and the three so-called forward outposts are roughly described above, with more than 100 Soviet scouts on standby.And the closest Soviet outpost to their hill was even less than two kilometers away!
The sound of the engine has already appeared, and the exhaust gas roars harshly through the exhaust duct.Six M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicles and ten armed off-road vehicles have also been assembled.As the fuel is filled and the ammunition is ready, the accompanying infantry enters the rear compartment of the infantry fighting vehicle and enters the state of readiness. The light machine gun with the machine gun shooting hole is firmly pressed against the shoulder, ready to fire at any time.

The temporary camp has been cleared up in a very short period of time, and all the soldiers have boarded their respective vehicles, advancing with the entire armored reconnaissance team.Their advancing speed was extremely fast, because under the protection of armored vehicles, they also galloped unscrupulously between the wilderness and woodland.

Six M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicles are in the center, and there are five armed off-road vehicles in the front and rear respectively, which are almost both offensive and defensive in this field.When encountering light infantry, they can instantly play the role of an armored force, charge directly frontally, and crush them with powerful firepower.And even if they encounter heavy armor or an attack by anti-armor means, they can directly use mobility to disperse to both sides to avoid heavy damage.

Although Liszt has never commanded an armored force in this world, he still understands some basic common sense.And in his previous life, he was in that republic, and he was a member of the serious armored unit. He was also very good at commanding the armored unit to fight after deliberate self-study.

But now, for Liszt, the armored reconnaissance platoon that was speeding forward was not difficult to command.Especially Sofitel, who was the deputy, was the company commander of the 16th Mechanized Infantry Brigade before, and he had sufficient experience in armor command.Now, as Liszt's deputy, assisting him in commanding this army, it's not easy at all.

"We are rapidly approaching the Soviet post and may be attacked by enemy troops at any time!"

The armored forces were advancing, but Sofitel, who was at the forefront, became more and more careful.He was sitting on an armed off-road vehicle at the front, holding his M4A1 assault rifle in his arms, and carefully swept through the lush birch forest in front, with an extremely cautious look in his eyes.According to the markings on the map, they are now close to the Soviet outpost built at the edge of the forest. If they are ambushed by the enemy, they may lose some vehicles and soldiers.Knowing that the anti-armor methods of the Soviets are as famous as their own steel torrents, Sofitel doesn't want to confess himself in this uninhabited Alaska wilderness.

With a slight cough, Sofitel cleared his throat, while carefully watching the seemingly normal birch forest in front of him, he reached out and took out his walkie-talkie.He turned around and looked at an M30 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle more than 2 meters away. He could see Liszt's figure. Pressing the intercom button, he said, "The group of Soviet scouts will May arise, shall we move on?"

"Go forward, no need to hide!"

Sitting on the commander's machine gun seat, Liszt put down the binoculars in his hand, and scanned the birch forest. There was nothing abnormal at a rough glance.The carefully camouflaged positions are not easy to distinguish with the naked eye, especially in this lush forest area of ​​bushes and birch trees, it is quite difficult to observe hidden enemies with the naked eye.But Liszt did not hesitate at all. He also pressed the walkie-talkie hanging on his chest, nodded and gave the order: "Go at full speed, report the enemy immediately!"

"Understood." The answers from Sofite and the other squad leaders came over the intercom immediately.While Liszt's gaze swept across the forest in front of him, he quickly figured out his general location based on the previous map in his mind.They were already very close to the Soviet outpost hidden on the edge of the forest, but according to Cheney's previous intelligence, this outpost was just a simple observation post, and apart from a few anti-armor rocket launchers, there were no heavy weapons.

Although most of Alaska was given up by the U.S. Federation, it still belongs to the territory of the U.S. Federation in name. If the Soviet Union hadn’t considered the almost equal military strength of the two sides, it would not have completely controlled the Bering Strait secretly.But now even the United Nations has disappeared because of the war. The Soviet Union and the United States may be each other's huge nuclear arsenals, and they are just restraining each other.

However, according to Cheney's scattered information, the three outposts closest to the Anchorage line of defense only had a squad of troops stationed there, and they were not even equipped with heavy weapons.And the mission of this squad is usually just as a transfer station for espionage intelligence, as for the arrangement of combat deployment, there is no such thing as it.Perhaps these three outposts are the warning posts set up to prevent the large-scale entry of American federal troops into Alaska and let the main Soviet forces in the Bering Strait get news.

But Liszt didn't care much about the so-called Soviet outposts. Even if his troops wiped out those three outposts, so what, the two sides would never bring it to the table.Just like the assassination of Bunar and his Soviet spies before, it was just a private and mutual tacit cold war method. If this kind of thing causes a large-scale armed conflict, it even turns into a war between the two countries, throwing nuclear weapons at each other The point is that the gain outweighs the loss.

"Find unfamiliar buildings! Spot enemies!"

As the distance got closer, Liszt could even observe the building hidden in the birch forest through the observation of the high-powered telescope.It was an oval building with a height of more than two meters. It didn't look like an outpost, but more like a machine gun bunker.He slowly raised his right hand, and the reconnaissance platoon, which was almost still speeding forward, stopped immediately. The black muzzle and machine gun muzzle were aimed there, but no sign of the enemy was found.

"The first combat team, go to investigate!"

Nodding to Sofitel, the tactics that had already been discussed appeared in an orderly manner following Sofitel's order.The rear compartment of an M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle was opened, and eight heavily armed U.S. Army scouts jumped out immediately, looked at each other, spread out and pressed their bodies, carrying their own M4A1 assault The rifle quickly ran forward.They all had expressionless faces, but their advancing postures were extremely vigilant, and they would immediately lie down on the ground if there was any movement, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
