978 in advance
In the Demon Realm, in the port of Stofel, the headquarters of the expeditionary force, the field marshal of the Ellanhill Empire, Vagron, is studying a new battle plan with his generals.
He looked at the generals of the logistics department and praised him: "The good news is that the materials hoarded on the front line have reached an alarming level, and we don't have to worry about the supplies at all." ”
The Iran Hill Empire has transported countless strategic materials to the Demon Realm, and these materials can already allow the expeditionary force to fight a war of any scale in full accordance with their own combat intentions.
Luo Kai, the chief of the Imperial General Staff sitting beside him, smiled and asked, "Do you know what those infrastructure madmen have done in the past two months......
"They built 200 kilometers of railway, a whole 200 kilometers! And that's just the construction on the railway! He said as he put the report back on the table.
This time, he made a special trip from Seris to the Demon Realm to hold this combat meeting, because the military high-ranking people of the Irlanhill Empire have recently had the idea of changing the battle plan.
After all, the more modern the war, the less impactful the climate war will be. Although the Irlanhill Empire is reluctant to fight in winter, it does not mean that it cannot fight in winter.
Seeing that the advantages are getting bigger and bigger, and the supplies are becoming more and more abundant, there are more and more generals who think that large-scale combat operations can be carried out in winter.
Therefore, this time, Luo Kai, the leader of the Imperial General Staff, arrived at the front line by special plane and presided over this temporary meeting with Wagron to discuss the feasibility of launching a winter offensive in advance.
The veteran general Madias, who is in charge of the ground combat command of the Iran Hill Imperial Expeditionary Force, is also very satisfied with the work of the logistics unit and the infrastructure engineering team, and praises: "These guys have built 20 thermal power plants and 3 medium-sized dams in the Demon Realm, and the power over there is almost self-sufficient!" ”
Because he was on the front line, he looked at the problem in more detail and more convincingly: "What is even more terrifying is that with the help of the army, they have built 300 field airfields of various sizes and 40 large field airfields......
"With the support of these airports, our transportation capacity, as well as the ability to use air supremacy, have increased several times!" The commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Butolia, sat in his place and was also very satisfied with the current state of the war: "There are still 9 air ports...... They've built almost 10 medium-sized cities here......"
Since the Iran Hill Empire accepted Griken's annexation, wars on the Magic Continent have basically not broken out on a large scale.
Therefore, the Iran Hill Empire transferred its air force, especially all kinds of new equipment, to the front line of the Demon Realm.
This really made the Air Force pilots excited, because it was the first time they had seen so many advanced fighters gathered on one front.
The Air Force now retains more than 1,400 F-15 fighters, more than 2,500 F-16 fighters, 850 A-10 attack aircraft, 700 B-52 bombers, and 110 Tu-22M bombers.
In addition, the front-line air force has a large number of old and obsolete fighters in use at the same time, including 2,000 B-17 bombers, 300 MiG-21 fighters, 600 Mustang P-51 fighter-attack aircraft, and more than 30 reconnaissance B-29 reconnaissance aircraft.
In order to ensure the normal use of these aircraft, Iran Hill dispatched more than 800,000 ground support troops and prepared 100,000 support vehicles of various types.
At the same time, the Air Force also has 900 C-130 transport planes, 150 C-5 transport planes, including more than 130 floating transport ships of various types and sizes, which are also helping to transfer all kinds of supplies, weapons and ammunition.
"From the outbreak of the war against the Demon Realm to the present, we have transported hundreds of millions of tons of various materials to the Demon Realm, not including the various resources that can be mined from the Demon Realm." The general in charge of logistics opened his mouth to give a briefing on the transportation reserves in logistics.
Alan Hill had stockpiled a large amount of ammunition and supplies for the spring campaign, which was actually enough to start two spring offensive operations at the same time.
"In the Demon Realm, we have resumed the mining of 3 large magic spar veins, and resumed the operation of 4 large coal mines, 2 copper and iron mines, 1 gold mine, and 1 silver mine." On the other side, an official from a private enterprise also spoke.
These minerals are also strategic resources - Iran Hill has established an arsenal in the Demon Realm, and has begun to produce ammunition and various weapons and equipment locally.
At least, the tanks that have broken down in the Demon Continent now, as well as various types of fighters, can be repaired directly in the Demon Realm, without involving the factories on the Magic Continent.
"The staff of the elf clan have already cultivated 4.6 million acres of land here, and next year they will be able to mass-produce various food crops." The agricultural side is the responsibility of the elves. An elven magician sat in the corner and reported in a very gentle voice.
She was also one of the few women in the military council, and the other woman was also from the elves and was the commander of a military.
Because General Falai has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the elven troops of the Elan Hill Empire, he has left the front-line command post, and the elven combat troops on the front line have all been handed over to this female general to command.
"We have stockpiled about 10 billion rounds of rifle ammunition of various calibers, 1 billion rounds of artillery shells of various types...... "The general in charge of logistics took over and continued to report.
With so much ammunition, the Iran Hill troops were able to attack with impunity. They don't have to worry about the lack of ammunition for their weapons, and they can use their firepower advantage more ferocentricly.
"We have prepared enough gasoline and diesel fuel for troops to advance 1000 kilometers near our Line of Actual Control." Finally, said the officer in charge of arms management.
The official in charge of transportation continued to assure Wagron that "as long as the troops continue to advance, we can still support the 300-kilometer extension of the railway consumables." ”
Because the materials prepared were very sufficient, he confidently promised: "If necessary, the front-line railway can be built in three together, and at the same time support the advance of the troops." ”
After hearing these reports, Vagron nodded in satisfaction, he had been planning a winter attack recently, and Chris actually supported his decision.
From Chris's point of view, it is in the interests of the Iran Hill Empire to save precious time and end the war this morning.
And from Vagron's point of view, conquering the entire Demon Realm allows him to focus all his experiences on expanding into outer space, which is also very in line with his character.
After listening to the report on the material, he turned his attention to the officer in charge of the grain dispatch.
The officer knew that it was time for him to introduce, so he immediately spoke: "The food we have prepared is enough for the soldiers to consume, even if our logistics and transportation lines are cut off, the food stored by the troops on the front line is enough to eat for about two months." ”
Luo Kai knew that it was time for him to express his position, and he also came with the emperor's intentions. Chris united the winter offensive in principle, so the General Staff represented by Luo Kai also supported this winter operation.
So he opened his mouth to make his position clear, and rarely stood with the General Headquarters of the Imperial Army: "The General Staff means...... Now that the expeditionary force is ready to move forward, we can attack even in winter. ”
"Although there are some difficulties, they can be overcome." Wagron nodded, setting the tone for the meeting.
"Yes! I also feel that although the winter march is inconvenient, it is not without its benefits. Madias nodded in agreement.
Heidi Cannon, who had been reinstated and returned to the post of commander of the 1st Panzer Corps, was still cautious, saying only about military matters: "From a purely military point of view, we are not able to move, and the enemy is also not able to move. Their supplies are not as timely as ours, so fighting in winter still has an advantage over us. ”
He never takes a position on any political position, and is very careful about his words and deeds. Even some command decisions will be reported to Madias in advance.
In fact, Madias had already reassured him, telling him that he didn't have to be so careful, and that he could have made command decisions more flexibly.
But Heidi Canon, who is a little sensitive to his identity and worried that his decisions will cause misunderstandings, still often reports on the situation of the 1st Panzer Army, no matter how big or small, is much more cautious than before.
Madias had no choice but to reply that he already knew. In this way, Heidi Canon will give orders as a way to show his loyalty to the Ranhill Empire.
Wagron actually admired Heidi XLN and knew that he was a very talented commander. And Wagron appreciates Heidi Canon's prudence, and appreciates that he knows how to be measured and is delicate enough to handle things.
Madias saw that Heidi Cannon had only said one sentence and then stopped talking, and took over the conversation and continued: "We have prepared the lubricating oil for the winter season, and we have also prepared a lot of heating equipment. ”
Since the beginning of winter, he has been making preparations, and countless materials have been hoarded in the Demon Realm through his hands, including nuclear weapons and many other powerful strategic weapons and equipment.
Thousands of missiles are ready to attack the strategic depth of the demons at any time, and with the addition of bombers, Elanhill is fully capable of destroying all valuable targets within 500 kilometers of the demons' strategic depth within a month.
"In terms of preparation, we are more prepared than the demons, so we will have more advantages." He said confidently.
"In the winter battle, what everyone competes for is logistics preparations, and our logistics preparations are definitely much more thorough than those of the demons, so we have a greater advantage." The generals in logistics are also very confident in their work.
