Chapter 159 152: Battle Deployment and Departure!

In this Twin-Headed Bull capture operation.The task of coordinating with Yan Shaohua's armored regiment for the main assault was assigned to two elite heavy armored brigades from the Central Region.

The remaining infantry brigade will be responsible for capturing the fleeing beasts to the south of Xiaolianzi Mountain after the main assault.

With an involvement of as many as 25,000 personnel, this can no longer be considered a small battle.

This number is roughly one-third of an A-type army and almost half of a B-type army.

In non-sensitive periods, even the largest annual exercises see total combat forces hovering around this figure.

It's really not a small number.

Each composite brigade is configured as follows: (Hypothetical setup, if I write the actual organization chart, I'd get in trouble. This is no filler, it took me half an hour to come up with this configuration)

Given the mountain warfare nature of this operation, the rabbits also brought in a batch of Type 15 light tanks.

Compared to the 99a main battle tank, they are more suitable for this battlefield, and the two will coordinate during the battle to achieve maximum effect.

Including Yan Shaohua's armored infantry regiment.

The rabbits have deployed as many as 427 infantry fighting vehicles in the entire operation, with a total of 164 main and light tanks.

Additionally, eight sets of Land Shield 2000 combat modules were deployed, totaling fifty-six vehicles, including command vehicles, and forty-eight combat units.

Considering the confidentiality of personnel deployment.

The rabbits organized a military exercise in the west, even at the risk of exposing two trump cards—new style equipment.

What, you ask how many trump cards the rabbits have?o prevent a beast tide from rushing out of the mountains.

About ten minutes later, Longxing River's scouts swiftly reported back:

"Report, our unit has observed the main body of Xiaolianzi Mountain through the Celestron 8SE telescope.

We discovered the beasts within the mountain had begun to move and assemble, but were not showing aggression, seeming to be organizing a defensive line!"

Longxing River looked up at a certain bird-like beast flying in the sky, resembling an eagle, evidently the mountain's eyes and ears.

Such eagle-like beasts appeared roughly every three hundred meters, with any situation at any location causing vibrations throughout the entire scout chain, akin to ancient signal fire communication.

Therefore, the troops initially refrained from exposing firepower to strike them down.

Anyway, let them discover, with the rabbits' reaction speed, they could organize a defense even if attacked suddenly.

Thus, the main forces ignored these eagles,

but now they were in position, everything could be accomplished.

Having gained authorization from the general commander, Longxing River raised an eyebrow at Fang Ping:

"Old Fang, let me show you my shooting skills. Damn, I've long been annoyed by those flies."

He then took the Type 95 automatic rifle handed by the guard, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

"Take this!"

Tat-tat-tat——

Three 5.8mm bullets burst out at an initial speed of 930 meters per second, accurately blowing the head off the eagle flying overhead.

Meanwhile, all commanders and fighters' communicators conveyed Major General Man's orders:

"Deploy air defense weapons, helicopters to conduct 'seeding' tactic!"
