Chapter 1327 (1/2)

July 12, 2020 is definitely the most humiliating day for NATO since its establishment.

With the fall of Bucaramanga military base, the Colombian government forces and NATO forces stationed in this area had to start a strategic retreat. However, in the case of complete interruption of communication, it is not easy to obtain first-hand information, whether at the front or the rear.

Even after a certain unit stationed in the rear saw the friendly troops retreating from the front line, the two sides had such a dialogue.

”Hey, which army are you from? Where is this going? Why haven't we been searching for signals from the headquarters? ”

”XX brigade, Italy. To Barranquilla. Don't ask, we don't know why... ”

”Shall we stay here or retreat?”

”You ask me, who am I going to ask?”

The order to retreat was indeed given, and the troops on the front were informed one by one through the helicopters of the aircraft carrier battle group, the Ford, in the most primitive way. However, due to the paralysis of the command system, this kind of notification can only be accurate to the battalion level, not to everyone.

This leads to another situation.

Maybe company a was ordered to stay in a certain defense area, while company B, who was responsible for supporting behind the defense area, received an order to retreat. When the person in charge of informing company a to retreat ran over, they found that the guerrillas of the rebel army had already killed them. The two sides were fighting fiercely. Hi, the people of company a were still wondering where the people of company B had gone

Looking down from the strategic map, NATO's line of defense has been fully contracted to the Gulf Coast in a short day, and the pace of retreat has been stopped and the positions have been rearranged around the port of Barranquilla.

NATO coalition forces have reestablished the command system. While issuing new equipment, they have prepared a metal sleeve for each piece of equipment, and strictly require every soldier to keep all the equipment in the metal sleeve during the non combat period.

This is the most primitive and effective way to fight against EMP. The principle is probably the same as the steel ball sent by guerrillas to their own people. It builds a Faraday cage to shield the whole electromagnetic field.

Close to 100000 troops, less than 60000 retreated to Barranquilla. In addition to the captured and those who died in the crossfire, there are still some people who may still be on the road, or they may withdraw to Bogota with the Colombian government troops.

The disastrous defeat is no longer enough to describe the losses suffered by the NATO coalition.

While the repair team was busy repairing the equipment that had been withdrawn from the front line, the FARC and the volunteer army of Moro were not idle.

NATO left a large amount of equipment and supplies in bukalamanga military base. After accepting the equipment and supplies, the Moro volunteer army and FARC soldiers were divided into two routes. The volunteers marched northward through mountains and mountains, encircling NATO forces along the Gulf Coast.

According to Jiang Chen's request, FARC went all the way south along the Andes Mountains to the capital of Colombia, pushing himenez to the presidency as soon as possible and striving to end the war as soon as possible.

As the FARC moved south, panic spread across the developed cities of Western Colombia.

Everyone knows that the rebels are coming, but they don't know how many kilometers away the rebels are. They used to be able to see what happened on the front line through Twitter, but now they can't even turn on their mobile phones.

In modern society, which relies heavily on the Internet, when even the most fundamental power is lost, not only the access to information is affected, but even daily life is affected. The gate of the supermarket was jammed by panic crowd, prices soared, and there was no warning that supplies that should not have been scarce became tense. The United Nations had to wipe the bottom of NATO and begin to discuss whether to send humanitarian relief materials to Columbus.

Of course, it is the NATO countries that are most alarmed.

The more modern an army is, the weaker its resistance is in the face of EMP attack. Although all countries have been committed to the research of EMP and anti EMP weapons and ”anti pulse” processing of existing equipment, it is not more than three years since the EMP weapons came out, and it takes time to complete all these.

The advanced programs agency of the U.S. Department of defense may go a little further in this regard, but in the face of such a wide area EMP attack, their efforts are still somewhat inadequate. Unless the whole army is thrown into an airtight iron box, it is impossible to completely avoid the impact of EMP.
