Chapter 361: Battle of Chittagong (13) The Captured Major General

Several kilometers away, at an altitude unnoticeable to Major General Elvis, a modified PBY-4 four-engine heavy aircraft slowly circled above the battlefield, like a giant Kunpeng.

Inside the spacious cabin, the atmosphere was completely different.

Rows of complex electronic equipment flickered with dim lights. Several radio technicians wearing headphones sat in front of the equipment, their fingers constantly adjusting knobs and switching signal sources. The waveforms on the panel kept jumping. They were concentrating on monitoring the British army's radio bands.

"The target frequency has been locked again, reactivating the flood interference mode."

"Understood, start comprehensive coverage."

A soldier gently pushed the control button, and the signal strength suddenly increased. The entire spectrum was instantly covered by "white noise", and a harsh whistling sound came from the radio band, suppressing all possible communication channels of John's army.

This aircraft is the latest electronic warfare weapon of the Security Army - the "Great Flood" radio jammer V10.7.

This device produced by the Sixth Radio Research Institute has undergone several iterations and has a wider interference range. It can also monitor the enemy's frequency switching in real time to ensure that once the enemy changes the channel, they can immediately carry out secondary interference, plunging the opponent into complete radio darkness.

At the same time, the operator will release some specific frequencies in different time periods to ensure that the security army's own communication network remains unobstructed. This is the sophistication of this jammer.

"Report, the enemy is still trying to switch frequencies, but we have covered all of their available channels."

"Haha, stupid Johns," the captain's radio technician chuckled. "They have no idea how powerful we are. The gap between us is already wider than that between a sparrow and a swan."

Major General Elvis stood anxiously in front of the map, sweat oozing from his forehead. His eyes were fixed on the small red flags marking the various troops, but these flags were now dead objects because their owners had completely lost contact with the command center.

The artillery fire was getting closer and closer, and the sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard one after another. Even sporadic clashes began to occur outside the brigade headquarters.

He knew that the Anmin Army's troops were approaching.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and whispered: "We are finished..."

The chief of staff gave a wink and several soldiers rushed forward, picked up Major General Elvis and dragged him towards the Cromwell tank outside the command tent.

"What are you going to do? I want to be loyal to His Majesty the King!"

"There are no cowards among the generals of the United Kingdom. I command you to let me down immediately!"

However, although Major General Elvis shouted loudly, he did not struggle much and was easily stuffed into the tank.

"Quickly start, retreat north, we're going to meet up with the army headquarters."

At the order of the Chief of Staff, three jeeps were the first to rush onto the road, followed by three Cromwell tanks, with Major General Elvis himself on one of them.

As for most of the officers and soldiers of the command center, confidential personnel, and the attached field hospital, they still had to pack up slowly and then catch up by truck later.

However, not long after they escaped, the chief of staff on the first tank saw two White Eagle M24 Chaffee tanks blocking the road. The rainforest camouflage and the special identification emblem made it clear that they were tanks of the Anmin Army.

The next second, the chief of staff saw several lines of machine gun fire sweeping across the road. The three leading jeeps tried to dodge in an S shape, but were hit directly and were immediately knocked to the ground.

Obviously, there were also enemies lying in ambush on the side of the road.

Then, the vegetation camouflage net behind a huge rock on the side of the road was suddenly lifted up, and the National Guard soldier holding an RPG happened to be in the blind spot of the Cromwell tank.

As soon as he pulled the trigger, the armor-piercing warhead was immediately ejected under the propulsion of the rocket engine.

After being fired, the compressed folding tail fins automatically unfolded, the rocket warhead stabilized its body, crossed the last 20 meters, and crashed into Cromwell's turret.

"boom!"

The metal jet directly burned through Cromwell's turret armor. Fortunately, this was a command tank and there was no ammunition in the turret, so there was no secondary explosion.

However, the chief of staff in the turret was in bad luck. The hot metal jet, which was hundreds of degrees, burned directly through his chest.

The unfortunate colonel's head tilted, his eyes went dark, and he immediately stopped breathing.

"Are we winning now?"

As the sun set, Major Qian Da, commander of the 134th Armored Battalion, looked at the pile of tank wreckage that was still burning in the distance and said in disbelief.

Major Nong Yuanming, commander of the 138th Armored Battalion, casually took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to the people in front of him. He pointed at the frustrated John officers and soldiers who were being escorted as prisoners.

"We wiped out an entire armored brigade in one day. Didn't we win?"

"It feels so good, so good." Qian Da lit a cigarette for himself, took a big puff, and exclaimed, "This is an armored assault, this is a battle of steel against steel!"

"According to a conservative estimate, we have destroyed more than 100 John tanks, although some of the achievements were made by the accompanying 129th Motorized Infantry Battalion..." Nong Yuanming also lit a cigarette and smiled at Zhou Zhenghao.

Major Zhou Zhenghao, commander of the 129th Motorized Infantry Battalion, waved off the cigarette and said with a smile, "We're all in this together. There's no need to distinguish between you and me in the results of this battle."

"I can't believe that our regimental armored battle group, with more than 70 tanks, can actually wipe out an entire armored regiment of the John people!" Qian Da's excitement was beyond words at this time.

"By the way, where's that captured Major General John? That guy looks so cocky, he really deserves a beating. I really want to give him a promotion!"

"Hahaha, him?" Nong Yuanming laughed loudly and pointed at where Li Mingcheng was. "He's complaining that our victory was unfair and a surprise attack. He's determined to see what the commander who wiped out his entire brigade looks like. He's probably complaining to Colonel Li right now."

On the first day of the war, an entire armored brigade was wiped out in one go. This was undoubtedly a good sign and a good start.

Especially since they captured an armored major general alive, this achievement was no small one, and all three of them were very excited.

The three major battalion commanders got together, chatted for a while, and then returned to their troops.

A day of fighting was over, the sky was getting dark, and the troops began to inspect and prepare for the next battle.

In the temporary command center, Li Mingcheng, who had finished talking with Bai Minghui, looked at the map again.

In the next two days, he needed to lead his troops further north along the road marked on the map, quickly close the encirclement, and wrap the remaining three infantry divisions of John's people in the dumpling skin.

In this battle, his battle group seized a lot of maps from the John people. According to the analysis of the staff, the John people did not defend this road much. There were only two checkpoints along the way and no minefields.

The three John Infantry Divisions had all entered the attack position, and they were so slow to react that it was too late for them to retreat.

At least they couldn't walk faster than his armored troops.

Li Mingcheng remembered that Zhang Chi had said in the crash course that in this war only the White Eagle had achieved full motorization, and all the infantry divisions had vehicles.

John and Hans were the only elite troops who had armored vehicles and trucks to ride in, while the second-line troops mainly relied on horse-drawn carriages and their legs.

The division that can be sent to the colony must not be elite, right?

Li Mingcheng secretly clenched his fists. As long as everything went well in the next few days, these three divisions would be trapped.
