Chapter 32: Let the 202 Brigade go up!
Precise strikes by air strikes and missiles are often aimed at buildings of obvious or strategic significance.
Even the awesome Air Force never denies that it is often the Army that ends the battle in the end.
The air raids and bombardments that lasted for four hours completely blew Arinata into ruins, but they did not incapacitate the successive Rock Legions.
After all, the top brass of the Stubborn Stone Corps were ready to lose air supremacy when they entered the land bridge, and in order to cope with bombing and air raids, the armored forces and artillery were extremely strictly camouflaged.
It is also for this reason that the Stubborn Stone Legion retained the vast majority of heavy firepower and combat vehicles and armored vehicles in the night's bombardment.
So as soon as dawn broke, the Stubborn Stone Corps dispatched more than two divisions of attacking troops to attack the positions held by the 1st Brigade.
The battle on Arianata's side is all about time.
This is the same for both sides involved in the war, the imperial army has to delay time, delay until the large army is killed from the Tianyun Mountain Range, and the stubborn stone army must occupy the defense line before the main force of the imperial army does not kill the Tianyun Mountain Range, time is a matter of success or failure for both sides, so the battle was fierce from the beginning.
The Imperial Army has an air force advantage on its side - but it is only an advantage, the situation on the side of Alinata dooms the Imperial Army to be unable to build an airfield here on a large scale, so it can only hastily build three field airfields, even if it is running at full capacity, it can accommodate less than 200 air force fighters, and most of these pilots have experienced yesterday's air battle and last night's air raid, and they can't provide endless support at all.
The Air Force arriving from the Imperial-controlled area would have to travel at least 500 kilometers, and although 500 kilometers was close for the Air Force fighters, they could not endlessly support Alinatta - after the outbreak of the battle, the air force would be needed everywhere on the long line of fire!
Therefore, the number of fighters that can hover over the theater of operations every hour is destined to be no more than 100.
These fighters had to bomb the ground offensive forces and guard against the sneak attack of the Crusader air force, and they could really put in the forces of ground combat support, which was pitiful.
The support of the Air Force is not as great as imagined, and the soldiers fighting on the front line can only accept battles that are several times more cruel than they imagined!
β¦β¦
"Plans don't always keep up with changes......"
In the third cluster headquarters, Long Xu, the general of the imperial army, looked at the new information, frowned and sighed.
The plan formulated by the theater staff is not a big problem in itself, and the flaws are not concealed - however, the omission of the stubborn stone corps has cast layers of thick haze over the plan, and the Black Flag Army and airborne troops deployed on the front line to resist the stubborn stone corps can survive until the main force comes out of the Tianyun Mountain Range?
"Commander, this is the conclusion of the deduction sent by the theater staff." The staff officer presented a document, and after General Long Xu resulted in the document, his frowning brows squeezed again.
The conclusion reached by the theater staff is very unoptimistic, two brigades of the Black Flag Army plus one airborne regiment, it is very difficult to hold out in the fierce attack of the Stubborn Stone Army until the main force comes out of the Tianyun Mountain Range, and the most pessimistic estimate of those senior staff members is that two brigades and one airborne regiment in four days may all be martyred.
Even the most optimistic estimates are that by the time the main force comes out of the Tianyun Mountains, the two brigades may have less than a half of their manpower left.
Reinforcements!
It is necessary to strengthen the forces on the line of Arinata's defense!
This is the opinion of the General Staff.
"Reinforcements...... Where do I go to mobilize reinforcements? The Admiral was worried.
The third cluster is the main cluster of the battle, with more than 17 army groups under its command, and it is a miniature version of the central theater.
The size of the force is huge, yes, but after the battle horn is sounded, where can the general easily draw troops?
"Can you get the war zone to find a way to transfer troops to support the defenders of Arinata?" The chief of staff suggested on the sidelines.
The admiral shook his head and sighed: "The war zone is also difficult now...... For the battle of crossing the sea, all the elites in the war zone were transferred, and the battle on the side of Alinata was destined to be a contest of wills. β
The quality of the imperial army is indeed very high, but it must be pointed out that the troops that have been tested by the fire of war and those who have not been tested by the fire of war are completely different!
The battle of Alinata is destined to be a bloody purgatory with mountains of corpses, and it is definitely a curse rather than a blessing if the troops who have not gone through the war are sent up.
Why is the most pessimistic speculation of the theater staff for four days? That's plus the premise that more than 30 hours have passed!
Because of the two brigades and one regiment participating in the war, except for the 303rd Airborne Regiment, which has combat experience, the two brigades of the Black Flag Army are both new - not to mention the short time of the army, and they have not experienced the war!
The senior staff members were pessimistic that these two brigades might collapse under the enemy's desperate attack!
If it were possible, the theater staff would absolutely do whatever it took to replace these two brigades.
But this time, in order to solve the crusade on the land bridge in one fell swoop, the war zone threw almost all its wealth into the operation Buran and the battle of crossing the sea.
Operation Buran is a frontal attack, and the battle of crossing the sea is to cut off the back road - for the battle of crossing the sea, the military affairs department has given a hand to the theater staff, and the two fleets serve it, and the huge naval regiment will land in Olivek, and then block the connection point between the land bridge and the western continent.
Even if the Crossing Navy Regiment cannot block the connection point, as long as the Crossing Navy Regiment lands, the entire Western Continent will tremble, and the entire Crusader Army will fall into panic!
Once the connection points are cut off, the Crusaders are rootless duckweeds, and even if they are extremely large, there will only be one end - falling apart!
The bigger it is, the faster and worse it will collapse after losing the strategy behind it.
After all, if modern warfare is without logistics, even if His Majesty the God of War is alive, he will not have the power to return to heaven!
The battle of crossing the sea must not be disturbed, this is the bottom line - if something insists on happening, the theater staff can only endure the pain and let the Tianyun Mountain Range have problems.
But the blocking battle of the Tianyun Mountain Range is related to the victory or defeat of the blizzard operation!
When formulating the strategy, the theater staff miscalculated the resilience of the Crusaders, and Operation Buran did not meet expectations from the beginning, and all the participating troops and reserve units were thrown into the battlefield like a swamp, but there was never a major breakthrough.
The two sides managed to maintain a balance in the long line of fire.
As the main attack cluster, the third group must break the balance in order to expand the results, squeeze the living space of the crusaders, and cooperate with the battle of crossing the sea, and at this time, the Black Flag Army, which is still struggling to move in the Tianyun Mountain Range, has become the most advantageous weight to break the balance.
The world makes people!
A surprise soldier in the original plan has become the most critical weight now, which was not expected at the beginning of the formulation - knowing this, Admiral Long Xu would definitely strengthen the strength of the Arinata Guard Line before the start of the war, a brigade or even a division, he would definitely be able to grit his teeth and pull it out.
But now, how does he move his troops? After the huge chess game is unfolded, one radish and one pit, the deployment of troops will disrupt all plans!
Although the Interracial Federation has a lot of troops in its hands, to put it mildly, the group of legions that are fighting five scum was given to General Long Xu in vain, and he also thinks that he is a waste of military salary - the defense of the Interracial Federation is almost contracted by the imperial army, so you can imagine the combat effectiveness of the Interracial Federation army.
The chief of staff was also worried, the imperial army's ability to transfer troops was the first in the world, and it was not impossible to transfer troops from the mainland, and in three days, as long as it took three days, it would definitely be possible to put a brigade or even a division into Alinata, and the chief of staff was absolutely confident.
But there, can it last until three days later?
Don't let the reinforcements get into the arms of the Stubborn Stone Legion, and the fun will be great.
"Commander, I know there's a force that can be sent!" The staff officer on the side suddenly interjected at this time: "There is still a brigade of the Black Flag Army repairing. This brigade can definitely go up to the top! β
"A brigade?" General Long Xu and the chief of staff looked at the staff officer who was speaking, not to mention a brigade at this time, even a regiment is doubly precious - a regiment that is not in the plan is precious at this time!
Provided, of course, that it must be a trustworthy force.
But how could there be a brigade that was not in the plans?
Faced with the puzzled and puzzled looks of the two bigwigs, the staff officer hurriedly explained and reminded: "Commander, chief of staff, the 2nd Brigade of the Second Army of the Black Flag Army participated in the blocking battle during the breakthrough battle, but because of the heavy losses, it was excluded from this blizzard operation and the sea-crossing campaign. β
2nd Brigade of the Black Flag Army?
Admiral Long Xu suddenly came to his senses.
To be honest, the biggest reason why the Black Flag Army was allowed to join Operation Buran and become a surprise soldier this time was because of the performance of the 202 Brigade, not because the commander of the Black Flag Army was the former FΓΌhrer.
The 202nd Brigade played the name of the Black Flag Army in the blocking battle of the Breakthrough Campaign, and also made the theater recognize the combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Army - or that sentence, the record in the army is the last word!
"The 202nd Brigade suffered heavy losses in the blocking battle, with losses of almost more than forty percent, and the worst battalion was almost completely wiped out, although it was full of strength, but ...... Will it work? "The chief of staff is not optimistic about the 202 Brigade, not because he looks down on the combat effectiveness of the 202 Brigade, but because the 202 Brigade has only been full for a few days, and the whole brigade has combat effectiveness if the run-in has not been completed?
"If it doesn't work, it has to work!" Admiral Long Xu slammed the table: "They are the Black Flag Army!" Only OK! A must! β
"Only let the 202 Brigade go up," the chief of staff knew that the only troops that could be used now were the 202 Brigade, and there was no other way than the hard top, but he still suggested: "Commander, no matter what, we have to be prepared to transfer troops to other theaters, and at the same time try to draw troops from the cluster, and we can also parachute in to support at a critical time." β
"Okay, you go and arrange it, let the 202 brigade go up! Let the 9th Flying Brigade escort the transport troops, the 202 Brigade must be thrown into the front line of Alinata as soon as possible! "The admiral ordered.
