213 Quarrel at the Staff
The General Staff of the Irlanhill Empire, Chief of the General Staff Luo Kai is holding an emergency meeting of the General Staff. The troops of the puppet empire entered the Holy Demon Empire to fight, bringing countless variables to the battlefield.
Every detail has to be reconsidered, so the staff has basically been in a state of sleepless for the last two days.
A staff officer pinched the summary report in his hand and reported to Luo Kai: "These puppets are fundamentally different from demons. β
Another staff officer also nodded and said, "Yes, the puppets in the Holy Demon Empire can shoot and fire, which is very troublesome. β
Of course, Luo Kai also knew that these puppets were much more difficult than demons - these puppets had mastered many of the techniques that Ran Hill had diffused, and strengthened their own combat abilities, which made Ran Hill feel a little tricky.
On the other hand, this may be the enemy unit that the Iran Hill front-line troops have encountered so far is most like their own enemy unit: the opponent has heavy weapons, machine guns and rifles, and even artillery support, and it is like a modern army.
What's even more terrifying is that this army is an iron army that doesn't understand fatigue and moves quickly! This made the battle on the front line very stalemate, and it also made Alan Hill's troops very uncomfortable.
"The intensity of the fighting has skyrocketed, and our original plans have to be changed." The staff officer who spoke first continued to speak worriedly.
Hearing this, Luo Kai nodded, and said in agreement: "Of course, all of them must be changed...... Ammo consumption increased from lowest to highest level. In terms of oilseeds, an index should also be raised. β
The front-line battles in the Holy Demon Empire have completely escalated. Alan Hill's advance has largely come to a halt, and the last of these has been a small defensive battle to consolidate the front.
On the one hand, it is because the fuel and ammunition carried by the troops themselves are almost exhausted, and they can only wait for the follow-up supplies to arrive at the front line, and on the other hand, it is also because the troops of the puppet empire are indeed a grade stronger than the troops of the Holy Demon Empire.
The combat units of the ordinary puppet empire are basically the same as the second-line infantry of Iran Hill, so of course the bloodiness of the battle cannot be the same.
For the same battle, only one ammo base may be needed to deal with the Holy Demon Empire, and two or even three ammo bases may not be enough to deal with the puppet Empire's troops.
Such a huge gap in ammunition consumption also indirectly caused the consumption of fuel - the phenomenon of not being able to attack for a long time began to appear, and the troops could only be forced to make a wider detour, or repeatedly advance and retreat on a position.
The staff officer in charge of counting the losses looked at the shocking figures in his record book and said: "Our losses are skyrocketing, and many defensive lines are dangerous. β
His work means that it is not good news for him to open his mouth, and everyone knows the losses at the front, but there is still a certain difference between confirming the losses and guessing them.
"Within two days, we had more than 3,000 killed...... Even in the face of demons, we did not lose so many troops at the same time......" The staff officer said with some concern, "I'm afraid that as the battle line continues to lengthen, our losses will increase." β
The puppet empire has heavy weaponry that has not been used by other countries before, and they are a greater threat to the defense line, and what is even more terrifying is that their numbers are also very large.
Fortunately, the first batch of Elan Hill troops to attack the Holy Demon Empire were all heavy main forces, and they were all equipped with a large number of tanks and heavy artillery, otherwise it would not be easy to deal with those sudden puppet heavy equipment.
Because of the large number of tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy equipment as support, the entire defense line of Elanhill can be maintained. The battle between the two sides is becoming more and more like a contest between modern armies, which also excites the senior commanders of Elanhill.
What they had learned in their hearts before was basically useless. With the powerful weaponry of Irlanhill, wars are often one-sided battles. Before they could show their command skills, victory had already come.
Now, this is finally no longer the case. All the Iran Hill commanders have found that the opponent is no longer a waste that just blows, and that to defeat the opponent, it depends on precise command and dispatch and clear operational thinking.
Next, some staff officers began to sketch on a huge map, enclosing all the places where the puppets had recently appeared: "According to the feedback from the frontline troops, the puppets have appeared in the mountainous area. β
As he walked, he left some markings on the map representing the puppet imperial forces: "Intelligence shows that they also appeared near Nobar ......"
One of his colleagues, standing on the side, was giving him various additions: "The vicinity of Misak is also being counterattacked by puppet troops. β
These enemy forces appeared in key positions just right, withstanding the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army, which were encircling the industrial area of Kadom. Their presence has prevented the strategic objectives of the first phase of Iran Hill from being completed on time, and the Kadom Industrial Area has not been fully surrounded until now.
"The good news is that we didn't discover the puppet empire's air force after the puppet empire entered the war...... Our planes are still in a no-man's land, which gives us a lot of convenience. "The staff officer of the Air Force has been in a good mood lately, at least he has not encountered any trouble with the army staff officers.
The puppet empire's six-wheeled puppet chariots put a lot of pressure on the army's armored forces by virtue of their numbers, but the air force did not encounter enemy planes - in a sense, the advantage of Iran Hill still exists.
Because of the control of air supremacy, the recent brilliant results of the air force are a bit terrifying. Attack planes are destroying ground targets with impunity, and hundreds of attack aircraft pilots receive the "Golden Support Medal" every day.
"The Air Force is bombing the ...... of Fozz," the Air Force staff officer pointed to the map, pointing to a city slightly close to the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire, and said, "We judge that there is a large enemy ammunition depot near Fozz, and destroying it will give us some tactical advantage." β
The reason why there was no large-scale bombing of Kadom was because the Army had always wanted those factories in Kadom.
These factories can repair vehicles and tanks, or they can simply produce ammunition and other substances. With this production base, the logistical supply situation of the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army in Irlanhill will definitely be able to improve a lot.
Therefore, the Air Force's plan to bomb Kadom was vetoed by the Army, and both Wilkes and Lester wanted to encircle Kadom and take the industrial city bloodlessly.
"The next action plan is to focus on the Dokam ...... Completely destroy the industrial base of the Holy Demon Empire and obtain the forward supply base. Fred Rokai tapped his pen twice on the table and said, "For this purpose, both the 2nd and 3rd armies will gather armored forces...... It is planned to take 2 days to close the encirclement! β
"Now that we've analyzed the frontal battlefield, let's talk about the situation on the 1st Army's side." Luo Kai said while focusing on several staff officers in the northern theater: "Now, what people miss the most is the battle situation near the westward railway......
When the staff officers of several other theaters heard Chief of Staff Luo Kai ask, their eyes were full of sympathy when they looked at the staff officers of several northern theaters.
As we all know, the Northern Theater is now one of the most erosive in Irlanhill. The westward expansion railway has not been opened, and the crisis of the 9th Army has not been resolved.
"If a breakthrough cannot be made in a short time, the situation for the 9th Army will be even more difficult." A staff officer of the Northern Theater said with difficulty: "So the plan we drew up is to let the 1st Army open up the westward railway as much as possible. β
"This is the best plan, if it can't be completed, then the 9th Army can only break through on its own." Another staff officer of the Northern Theater followed: "They have enough fuel and ammunition for one attack...... As for attacking the Magic Eye...... Or fight back to the territory of the Eternal Empire......"
"I think it's better to let them break through to the east! Enter the Eternal Empire to rest and wait for our rescue! The most relaxed staff officers of the Southern Theater of Operations suggested.
"Is our good situation in the Eye of Magic falling short?" Other staff officers shook their heads in rejection of the suggestion.
"What kind of magic eye do you care about at this time?" Many staff officers of the 9th Army, who were worried, slapped the table and asked.
"We don't care, but we don't care, can we?" Not to be outdone, the other group of people fought back: "Leaving Greken to stop the demon must be in a state of inadequacy...... When the war situation deteriorates, it may not be the result we want to see. β
"Does that mean that we continue to attack the Eye of Magic selflessly, leaving our backs to those shameless enemies?" The two groups of people quarreled, making Luo Kai's head almost become two big.

In fact, he was also very entangled, and he also felt that the direction of the 9th Army's attack was not easy to choose...... Whether to the east or west, it is very risky, and waiting in place is also problematic - fuel and ammunition are being consumed every day, and if you wait a few days, you may not even have the reserves to make your choice.
"Of course not! Aren't we on the offensive...... As long as we get through the ...... along the Westward Railway" As Luo Kai pondered the trade-offs, the quarrel in the conference room continued.
The two sides insist on each other's words, and in any case, they have their own reasons: "Isn't it a bit unwise to pin all your hopes on the 1st Army now?" β
While the General Staff was debating how to use the last batch of supplies of the 9th Army, the Grecon Wizards, who had come to support Ellan Hill, boarded a modified Scout B-17 and returned to their homeland.
