Chapter 9: A Difficult Battle
After leveling the tribes of the White X alien race, the mobile army took a two-day break, and by the way, the next deployment was evaluated and replanned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is obviously a bit overkill for a mobile brigade to deal with a tribe in one place, and it will make the battle too protracted. However, if it is divided into two, it lacks high-end combat power to lead the second detachment, and it will suffer defeat when it encounters a strong enemy, which is a big problem.
On this issue, Major General Pank organized a special meeting to discuss it.
After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the captains are not experts in this area, and there is no good way to do it for a while.
In the end, it was Feng Yu who put forward a feasible suggestion, "Choose a pilot whose strength is closest to the quasi-ace, let him pilot the solemn spare plane, and sit in the second team." ”
"I'll see it!" Major General Pan Ke was originally a man who dared to take risks, and he fully agreed with this proposal, "So, what good candidate do you have?" ”
When it came to candidates, Feng Yu was a little blind, and had to turn his head to look at the people present, hoping that someone would come out and mention his name.
At this time, Lin Qianqian stepped forward, "Captain Parker, the squadron leader of the 2nd Mobile Squadron, can do it, he is one step away from being a quasi-ace, and I know that he is familiar with the MW prototype, and he usually trains on the simulator." ”
Major General Pan Ke looked at the others, and when he saw that no one objected, he nodded, "Then let him come." ”
Feng Yu was a little ashamed, hanging on to the position of the captain of the mobile brigade, he didn't know his subordinates at all. If it weren't for Lin Qianqian, the adjutant, I don't know how embarrassing it would be at this time.
Major General Pan Ke did not express his dissatisfaction with him, perhaps in the eyes of the commander of the Mobile Army, a person like Feng Yu, who is expected to become the first ace pilot of the Mobile Army, should have his own maverick style, rather than being troubled by general affairs.
It's just that Fengyu finally realized that he had closed his heart for too long and had to improve. It's been almost a year since the W1 campaign, and it's time to open your heart again, even if you don't want to invest too much emotion, but at least have more communication with your subordinates, rather than being on the ground and ignoring them.
As the meeting continued, Chief of Staff Xu Yuanxing added, "We can pass the screening and let the second detachment be in charge of the weaker tribes, and the first detachment of Lieutenant Colonel 'Storm' be in charge of the stronger tribes." ”
Pan Ke nodded and looked at Lin Qianqian behind Feng Yu, "Second Lieutenant Lin Qianqian, you can arrange and reorganize the two detachments." The remnants of the 1st and 3rd squadrons are the first detachments, and the remnants of the 2nd and 5th squadrons are the second detachments. ”
Lin Qianqian was originally a non-commissioned officer, but after serving as an adjutant in the mobile brigade, she was promoted to second lieutenant in the line of fire. So far, she is quite competent for this job and has not gone wrong. After receiving the order, she began to work on the reorganization of the two detachments. It was a simple formality, and she was able to complete it the same day.
After completing the reorganization of the two detachments, the mobile brigade once again plunged into a new round of airdrop operations.
The following week, the fighting went quite well. According to satellite imagery, the targets of the second detachment were all small tribes. Moreover, Captain Parker was also quite cautious, and did not make the mistake of making a solemn rash advance, although his strength was slightly inferior, but he also behaved remarkably.
In this way, another two weeks passed, and when the mobile brigade had cleared out all the relatively remote and weak small tribes on Xinjing Star, the 4th formation of the mobile army was finally late. With the addition of the 4th Mobile Squadron, the strength of the two-front operation was finally less stretched.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and after another month of relatively easy fighting, which wiped out more than a hundred foreign tribes, the Battle of Xinjing entered the second stage.
Although the surface of the emerald new star is mostly covered by forests, there is also a lack of topographical diversity, which also produces differences among indigenous tribes. In the first phase of the previous operation, in order to avoid attracting the attention of other tribes, the targets selected by the mobile army were basically foreign mountain and coastal tribes.
Because of their location, there are no other neighboring tribes within a radius of thousands of miles, so these tribes are relatively easy to get hold of.
However, just as in the ancient period of the earth, human beings were mainly concentrated in the hinterland of the plains with better conditions, and the same is true for the alien creatures of Xinjingxing. When the mobile army has cleared out the scattered tribes, it will inevitably have to attack the heart of the plains.
At this point, the situation is different. Judging from the data collected by the satellite, no matter what angle the mobile brigade is deployed, it will alarm two or more alien tribes at the same time. Moreover, if a cloudburst bomb is used on the plains, the sound and light effects produced by the explosion can be transmitted thousands of kilometers away, which is bound to attract the attention of other surrounding tribes, and it is impossible to hide it at all.
After repeated deduction and analysis, and after considering various possibilities, the General Staff finally formulated a new set of operational plans for the second phase of the Xinjing Campaign -- a peeling plan.
The core of the peeling plan is to carry out a series of operations in the areas where each tribe is concentrated, starting from the periphery and weakening layer by layer.
Take the first combat objective of the Mobile Army, for example, which is a small plain inhabited by nine tribes, and if the previous progress is followed, it will take two days to complete the clearance. But now that one shot moves the whole body, after a round of combat to eliminate two tribes, it will arouse the vigilance of the other seven tribes, which may then lead to a huddle.
According to the operational concept of the peeling plan, the first round of operations of the mobile brigade in the morning will start with the two tribes on the east side, and then the second round of operations in the afternoon will change the direction to attack the two tribes on the west side that are the farthest away. It's like peeling a fruit, nibbling round and round, rather than biting in one direction.
Anyway, when conducting airborne operations from space, they don't care about the terrain and direction at all, and the mobile army is not aimed at fighting for territory, it is purely to eliminate the living forces of the alien race, and everything is effect-only.
The first day of the second phase ended successfully, and from the satellite footage, the remaining five alien tribes on this small plain were shocked by the "vision" of the cloudburst bomb that they had never seen before, and each sent a patrol team to investigate. Especially after the second round of attacks in the afternoon, these primitive tribes of uncivilized civilization were even more frightened, thinking that this was a divine punishment from heaven, and they set up altars among the tribes and prayed to their gods for help.
The worst-case scenario was not expected, and there were no signs of interracial inter-tribes. As a result, the next day's two rounds of attacks were successfully carried out.
When the last remaining tribe finally realizes that this is not divine punishment, but an invader from space, they are left alone.
That night, when the tribe sent a delegation to the other plains to liaise, the mobile brigade launched the second night battle of the Xinjing Campaign, successfully completing the clearing of the first small plain.
It's just that on the vast Xinjing Star, there are dozens of small plains like this, and the Great Plains, which has dozens of tribes, is also close to double digits. After that, the situation was still difficult, and there was no room for relaxation.
