357 Preparation
"Urgent combat readiness! Urgent combat readiness! All officers and soldiers cancel their vacations! Immediately go to the combat post and stand by! Immediately go to the combat post and stand by! "On the school grounds, the loudspeakers played combat orders from above on a loop.
More than 30,000 officers and men of the 1st Marine Division and the 2nd Marine Division are preparing for war on Pilippi Island at this moment.
Satellites have confirmed that a large demon fleet has begun to move north, and the target of this fleet is either Osa Port or Pilipi Island, so everyone must be ready for a tough battle.
"Dang Chang...... When the long ...... "the tank's tracks made a regular rolling sound, and the camouflaged barracks were opened. On the already cast turrets, huge artillery pieces were torn off the camouflage net.
The soldiers began to enter the pre-set defensive positions, which had been reinforced since months earlier, and each section was covered with a large amount of cement, densely packed with pillboxes, and the dogs and teeth were intertwined to form a complete killing system.
"Is the reconnaissance plane back?" In the field airfield headquarters on the island, the commander of the naval aviation asked his adjutant with a heavy face.
The adjutant who walked beside him helped him push open the door in front of him, and the busy command hall appeared in front of him: "Colonel, B-17 has sent back the news that there is no trace of the demon fleet......"
"Then I'll keep looking! Until you find it! The colonel walked into the command hall, and saw that the ladies were marking the possible location of the demon troops on the huge map, and walked to the sand table map in the middle of the hall very depressed.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a C-130 transport plane had just stopped on the runway. The massive aft hatch slowly opened, and a column of heavily armed soldiers stepped out of it.
After learning of the demon's intentions, reinforcements to Pilippi Island became the consensus of the higher echelons of Ellan Hill. A parachute division was transferred to Pilippi Island, and the docks on the island were busy, with heavy weapons and more soldiers, sent to the island.
Similarly, Port Osa, the most important naval warship building base in Elanhill, has been given special attention.
In addition to General Lawnes's fleet, the shore forces were strengthened rather exaggeratedly. At least three divisions of troops were stationed near Osa, and countless new weapons were concentrated here.
"The Il-2 attack aircraft of the 704th Squadron have just arrived, and there are already more than 70 attack aircraft on the island, counting the B-25 and B-17, the number of aircraft we can take off to attack is about 175." The adjutant pointed to the three field airfields on the island with his whip and introduced himself to his superiors.
"According to the beachhead attack plan you made earlier, these airfields will attack the enemy forces on the beachhead in three batches in turn, delaying the opponent's attack as much as possible." At this point, the adjutant paused his introduction and looked at his chief.
The colonel commander of the naval aviation clasped his hands on his chest, still feeling that the strength in his hands was too little and too little.
He had about 20 P-51 Mustangs, 90 Il-2 attack aircraft, 35 B-25 bombers, and 30 B-17 bombers. Most of the pilots of these aircraft have experience in naval attack training and can attack the opponent's naval fleet.
In addition, he has 15 reconnaissance planes standing on hand at the airport, which can provide him with early warning.
Coupled with the 4 radar stations deployed on the island, in fact, his combat strength is still very impressive. However, he read the actual records of the offensive and defensive battles in the Transition City, so he was still very worried that the troops in his hands would be stretched thin in wartime.
On the other side of Pilippi Island, near Port Osa, naval aviation is also urgently massing. Although there are only six Tu-22M Backfire bombers newly deployed, four have been deployed to carry out anti-ship missions.
They were joined by 100 MiG-21 fighters, 30 of the latest F-16 fighters, and 35 powerful F-15 Eagle fighters.
Further afield, more than 200 B-52 bombers, 200 B-17 bombers, 100 B-25 bombers, 140 Il-2 attack aircraft, 10 AC-130 gunboats, and 30 A-10 attack aircraft were on the lookout.
On the sea, the main fleet of Iran Hill was ready for battle, and the battleship under the personal command of Lawrence was hovering on the sea, like a dragon, murderous.
Around the three dreadnoughts of Heroes, Conquest, Victory, are 20 cruisers of various types, and further behind are more than 30 destroyers of various styles.
The main fleet was tasked with pinning down the demon fleet in the open sea, and in the waters around Osa Harbor, armed ships armed with only a few guns formed another fleet, and the task of this fleet was to stop the demons before they could cut into Osa Harbor.
Behind the defensive positions on Pilipi Island, an artillery loader used a crowbar to lift a wooden cover with ideas written on the outside.
Inside, the cannonballs marked with the Magic Resonance Bomb logo were neatly stacked. The loaders took the shells out of their boxes and carefully placed them next to their gun emplacements.
On the artillery position, which was stacked with sandbags and connected to the communication trenches, one after another 155 mm howitzers raised their thick barrels as the gunner rotated the crank.
And around these cannons, the Hawk anti-aircraft missiles that were quietly erected, three in groups of three, pointed to the sky early, ready for battle.
Farther away, on the land-based launch positions of anti-ship missiles, huge missiles pointed diagonally into the sky. The sharp wings, like a sharp sword, reflected dazzling light in the sun.
"Stand upright!" In the headquarters of the 4th Army Group in Osa City, everyone stood up and saluted, facing the direction of the gate: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!" ”
A middle-aged man in a military uniform walked in, and after returning a military salute, he made a casual gesture for everyone: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor." ”
Everyone went about their jobs again, and an officer stepped forward, handed over a photograph, and said to the middle-aged man: "General Modryel, this is a satellite image from 17 minutes ago, and the demon is traveling west. ”
General Modryel took the satellite picture, lowered his eyes and looked at the track on the sea above, which was not clear, and then handed the photo back to the other party: "They will change the course." ”
"You're saying that the other side won't land on the southern coastline? Bound to go north again? The officer was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion.
"Yes, the other party's target is either Pirippi Island or Osa, there will be no other possibilities." Modryel said absentmindedly as he looked at the huge map of the area hanging on the wall.
"Why?" The other party still didn't quite understand where Modryel's confidence came from.
"Because I'm in Osa!" Modryel replied coldly: "I'm not in Non-Kohler, I'm not in Kinlaire, I'm in Osa!" ”
This can be regarded as Modlaire's resentment, from the founding of Iran Hill to today, this general who joined the Ellan Hill system relatively early seems to be an enviable lucky general.
His troops were moved around, but rarely experienced real battles. In the previous tragic battles in the Holy Demon Empire, the 4th Army commanded by Modryel did not participate in a single battle.
Before he could enter the territory of the Holy Demon Empire to participate in the war, he was transferred back to the country and transferred to the direction of Osa to preside over the defense work.
He was originally very experienced in combat and had a long reputation, but now in the military system of Iran Hill, he is not as good as a group of 20-year-old juniors. Wagron doesn't mention it for the time being, whether it's Walter or Rest, even Coria seems to be more famous than him, a middle-aged uncle.
So, this time, Modryel really didn't want to miss a battle. No matter what, he has to prove himself with an honest battle.
"The KH-22 missiles carried by the Backfire bomber, the nuclear warhead is not ready?" Modryel asked, looking at a lieutenant colonel officer who was following him.
"I confirmed an hour ago that it will take at least three more days for a nuclear warhead to be produced...... If the news from the nuclear plant is too fast, there may be a production accident......" the adviser said regretfully.
"But I'm going to use it in a day!" Modryaire shook his head, it seemed that this battle was not worth counting on with nuclear weapons.
But the good news is not nothing, compared to the battle of the ferry, the number of magic resonance bullets in his hand is now more than doubled, and even the number of steel-core armor-piercing shells in the hands of soldiers is also more, and in terms of conventional weapons, Alan Hill can already be said to be a shotgun for a gun.
Moreover, within a few hours, reinforcements from the T800 will arrive, and the Boeing 707 will be able to send a few passengers, which is much faster than the reinforcement of thousands.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty's magical forces will arrive soon, and we will have the advantage no matter what! The devil's attack this time is destined not to take advantage of anything. Modlaire put aside the resentment of the nuclear bomb for a moment and cheered up all the commanders around him.
At the airfield, more than 100 kilometers west of Osa, Ollank walked step by step towards his own Eagle fighter jet, holding his new helmet and wearing advanced anti-load clothing.
Fortunately, there is a well-equipped airport, and thanks to dozens of C-130 transport planes transporting various supporting equipment and vehicles, the complex and expensive F-15 fighter jets in front of them have successfully transferred to the Ossa war zone.
It is precisely because of this that this new fighter, which has improved all kinds of defects and tended to be perfect as soon as it was born, can make its debut here for the first time and surprise its enemies!
