Chapter 40 Battle Preparation

Since the Imperial Army was continuing to attack the village where the friendly mobile infantry platoon was located.

So Amber had to launch an attack as soon as possible.

The initial close reconnaissance that was originally required could only be temporarily PASSed.

This also made him reluctantly use the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance drone to arrange the attack plan.

Amber got out of the communication relay vehicle.

He saw that the mobile infantry had already gotten off the vehicle and stayed around their respective vehicles.

Some were checking their weapons, ammunition, and the remaining energy of their exoskeletons.

Some were taking the time to stuff an energy bar into their mouths and drink a few sips of water.

A few others ran to a corner, lifted the armor plate on their crotch, unbuttoned their pants, and began to "drain".

After all, there would be no time to do these things after the attack began.

Amber looked at the watch and gave these soldiers 3 minutes of rest time.

When the 3-minute countdown reached zero, he walked forward and clapped his hands, asking everyone to focus their attention.

"Eat well, drink well, and pee well." Amber said with a smile.

The soldiers around him also laughed foolishly.

But the next moment, Amber's tone changed.

"Since everything is done, then take your heart back and tighten your nerves!"

He took off his tactical mask and slowly swept his eyes over the crowd.

The soldier he stared at instantly remembered the legend of the 'Terrible Headhunter' and felt a chill on his back.

"I know that many of you have become complacent after ambushing the Imperial troops twice before."

"You think the Imperial troops seem to be much weaker than you think."

"But don't forget! When I first saw you, a whole platoon of people was suppressed in the valley by less than 20 Imperial soldiers, and they couldn't even lift their heads!"

Amber's words hit the hearts of these soldiers like a heavy hammer.

Some soldiers who were originally relaxed became a little unnatural when they recalled the hellish valley as he said.

"I don't mean to scold you!"

"I just want to tell you, never underestimate your enemies!"

"These imperials who are fighting you are from a country more powerful than the Federation, and they have been preparing for this war for a long time!"

"And you have just stayed on this planet, wearing equipment and playing with stones with the mobs for more than ten years!"

Looking at the increasingly serious eyes of these mobile infantrymen, Amber paused and continued:

"The first two battles are just appetizers to warm you up."

"The enemy we are about to attack has more than fifty infantrymen. Soldiers, two mortars and two multi-legged chariots!"

"From the next battle, each battle will be more difficult than the last, and many of you may fall."

"But I hope you remember your identity, you are a soldier."

"Soldiers! Have backbone!"

"As long as you are still alive, the battle will not stop."

"Since I have taken over your command in that valley, I will not abandon you and run away alone."

"As long as you are willing to fight with me, I will do my best to lead you to the end."

After saying the last sentence, Amber let out a long sigh.

In fact, he is not a person who is good at mobilization. In the past, there were also special people in the guild to do pre-war mobilization, and he only had to be responsible for combat command.

But now, the situation is stronger than people, and he has to shoulder it.

Thinking of this, Amber was glad that he had watched a certain war drama when he was a child, and there were many classic lines in it that could be used.

Just now, he felt that he had learned at least 70% of the essence of 'Brother Yunfei'.

"Pa pa pa pa!"

After a short silence, the soldiers all clapped their hands, and some young soldiers even had red eyes.

Seeing this, Amber was so angry that she rushed forward and slapped the helmet of the soldier in front.

"We are fighting! Why are you clapping!"

"Just get the meaning!"

Looking at the soldiers who couldn't hold back their laughter, Amber finally couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, since you are all so energetic, I believe you have all rested."

Amber put away her smile and returned to seriousness.

"Hurry up and get on the bus, and get ready to go to the attack position!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Watching the soldiers turn around and leave to get on the bus, Amber turned around and looked at her side and rear.

The only two officers who could stand in the team - Major Randall and Lieutenant Margaret, were standing here.

"There are not enough people, otherwise I wouldn't ask you two guys who are not familiar with land warfare to help."

Because the platoon leader and platoon sergeant of D Platoon happened to be in the command vehicle destroyed by the Imperial Army.

It means that the platoon headquarters of D Platoon is gone.

Although Amber took over the command and temporarily served as the platoon leader.

But he still lacked an experienced platoon sergeant to assist him in command. (Platoon sergeants are generally third-level sergeants, and the service time is required to be 15-18 years)

The attack that is about to be launched still needs to be divided, so he can only let these two "officers" help.

Amber has already sent the specific combat content and the matters that need to be responsible for Randall and Isabel to them separately.

The two professional officers also knew that they were about to enter the battle, so they didn't say much. After saluting Amber, they also got on the car.

Now, Amber has a total of five "Mongoose 4" wheeled armored vehicles.

Only three standard 40mm chain guns and 12mm coaxial machine guns can provide supporting firepower.

In terms of personnel, excluding the wounded and the two officers Randall and Isabel, there are a total of 34 soldiers.

Among them are five drivers, three gunners and vehicle commanders, three electronic warfare technicians, and one communications soldier.

These 12 people will always fight with the vehicle and will not get off the vehicle unless the armored vehicle is about to explode.

So there are only 22 infantrymen who can actually get off the vehicle to fight.

Amber reorganized them into two 9-man mobile infantry squads and two indirect fire groups using 120mm mortars.

In other words, there are actually only 18 people who can really fight as mobile infantry.

Although they can get relatively strong electronic warfare support and completely excessive firepower support.

But the small number of infantry still makes Amber feel quite awkward when formulating combat plans.

Even if there were half a squad, it would be easier than it is now.

Unfortunately, Amber didn't have the ability to conjure up soldiers out of thin air.

She could only make do with it for now.

Soon, the time came to 13:30 local time.

This time was also the 'H hour' set by Amber, two officers, and two mobile infantry squad leaders. (Like 'D-Day', it was the moment when combat operations began)

Except for the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer and communication relay vehicle that stayed in this hidden spot to prepare for electronic warfare.

The other three armored vehicles that had already started released their brakes one by one and drove out of the woods at a distance of 50 meters.

Under the control of the driver, a wedge formation was quickly formed and began to advance towards the offensive area designated by Amber.
