Chapter 6: The Noodle Army
According to the original plan, the first batch of support troops will be sent to the distant island after the escort air force is in position, after all, this is a huge army of more than 50,000 people, and once the enemy is caught in the gap by the enemy if the escort is improperly guarded, the losses will be too amazing.
However, because the enemy landed ahead of schedule, the escort air force was not in position, and the three joint staff members quickly adjusted the escort plan, and the escort formation will adopt the plan of step-by-step joining, and join the flight trajectory group along the way to enter the escort force.
As for how the Triple Staff deployed the escort force of the air force, the infantry who got on the plane did not know, and they could only see through the narrow windows of the plane or the spaceship that groups of air forces were constantly joining them, and in the end an incomparably huge flight formation was formed, and the number of planes and spaceships that covered the sky was shocking!
In order to cooperate with this escort, the navy also dispatched a large number of planes and destroyer frigates, and was ready to deal with the interception of the air force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army at any time.
It is very ridiculous to say, in the eyes of Western countries, manpower is unusually cheap - this is also evidence that the empire has repeatedly accused Western countries of trampling on "human rights" and "freedom".
The Eastern Crusade Army can easily organize a large-scale army with the help of a huge population base, but those Western countries, in the face of the huge number of apportionment targets, are all able to delay and owe what they can in the face of abnormal weapons and equipment, especially heavy equipment.
Although the two divine powers forcibly armed the army, in fact, except for a small number of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, most of them were a group of cannon fodder with rifles and weapons such as bazookas, and the number of 30 million sounds terrifying, but the number of air forces under the command of the Eastern Expeditionary Army is barely equal to that of the Central Theater.
In fact, it is easy to understand that a fighter, even if it is a 4th generation attack aircraft of the Angel of War that is about to be eliminated in the Western forces, the cost is enough to arm 3,000 GIs - 3,000 GIs only need to be equipped with corresponding weapons and uniforms, the military salary is incredibly cheap, and there is no pension trouble, it is almost equivalent to a one-time business, how much the Holy See needs, just give it to him within the scope of affordability!
Do you want a hundred planes?
Which country doesn't feel distressed about taking out so many air forces and high-value pilots at once to do the business of meat buns and dogs?
Joined the Crusade sequence, even if you win the war and want to go back?
Let's talk when you wake up, thank you for your cooperation!
And relying on the strength of the Holy See and the Demon Temple, if they want to equip the Eastern Expeditionary Army with a complete air force, although it can be done by smashing the pot and selling iron, how can the Holy See and the Demon Temple do this?
You know, the navy and the air force have always been gold-absorbing monsters, even if they are invested, but once the war starts like a moth to a fire, under the attrition, do they make up the shortfall or not?
Supplement - after smashing the pot and selling iron, it is equivalent to financial bankruptcy, the Holy See and the Demon Temple do control the entire Western power, but once the finances are bankrupt, the army that maintains their rule will inevitably fall apart!
Without the army, how can the Holy See and the Demon Temple still dominate the West?
It is precisely for this reason that the Air Force, whether it is the Crusader Army or the Eastern Expeditionary Army, has always been a short board, and has always maintained a slightly stronger strength than the Central Theater, but when the war starts, the Central Theater can easily transfer the local air force, plus the Navy's air force, has always been a crushing solution to the battle!
Not to mention the navy, which country regards the steel behemoth as a treasure, how can a steel behemoth worthy of dozens or hundreds of planes be handed over to the Crusade Army?
In view of this, the Crusade Army hid its air power as a treasure and used it as a deterrent.
But don't say it, under such a countermeasure, it has made the imperial army shackled - just like this airlift, if the air force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army had already been killed, a few pairs of escort air forces would be enough, which is like now, it is necessary to entangle the huge escort air force to cover the airlift.
During the eight-hour flight, the escort air force repeatedly monitored the presence of organic groups, although this was a suspicious tactic of the Crusaders, but for the safety of 50,000 infantry, the air force could only be ready for battle every time, and as many as seven times the suspicious soldiers tortured, so that the air force could not stop scolding the shamelessness of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
……
Ye Xiao knew very well the strength of the Eastern Crusade Army, and knew that under the solemn escort of the Imperial Air Force, it would be absolutely impossible for the enemy to succeed in a sneak attack, unless the Air Force made an unforgivable mentally retarded mistake.
It is precisely for this reason that he used these eight hours to constantly communicate with the officers under his command, trying to make sure that he could call out each commander by name after the battle.
"Brigade, let's rest, we will arrive on the far island in two hours," Wu Si couldn't help but persuade when he saw Ye Xiao quietly wiping away the sweat left behind and beating his spirits again.
Ye Xiao shook his head: "I can withstand it, give me the report of the staff office on the combat capability assessment of each company, by the way, let the logistics office check the equipment that our department needs again, and try to negotiate with the friendly forces on the ground before arrival, when the time comes, we only need to bring the equipment, and try to waste as little time as possible." ”
"Yes......" Wu Si sighed and left Ye Xiao to convey the order.
Taking advantage of the fact that Wu Si had not yet taken the report back, Ye Xiao hurriedly closed his eyes to recuperate, and the moment he closed his eyes, he felt that the whole world was spinning, and bursts of darkness were coming, Ye Xiao stabilized his mind with a strong will, and quietly swallowed the pill that his mother gave him.
It's hard to imagine that a young general needs tonics to keep his spirits alive!
After the situation improved slightly, Ye Xiao's mind was immersed in the study of the troops again, and it was funny to say, this was the first time he had led such a large army, but his body was the worst and worst!
Wu Si inked for half an hour before he got the document back, Ye Xiao shook his head, glanced at Wu Si helplessly, and then immersed himself in the sea of data.
The last hour and a half flew by, and the group flew over the far island.
The area of the far island is not small, more than 50,000 square kilometers, 430 kilometers at the widest point of the east-west direction, and more than 130 kilometers at the widest point of the north-south direction.
As the height decreases, the blue color is replaced by the color of the earth.
The transport formation needs to land in the east of the far island, and the east is also the area that the defenders can control at present, accounting for only one-fifth of the total area of the far island, and there are 50,000 imperial troops and less than 100,000 black troops stationed on an area of less than 10,000 kilometers.
Because the place they guarded became the landing place of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which bullied the soft and feared the hard, did not look at the landing place in the eastern part controlled by the imperial army, so the landing was smooth beyond imagination, and the Holy Dynasty army, which looked like a goods, almost collapsed at the touch of a button, leaving only the mind of running to the east without a life.
When he saw the fleeing Holy Dynasty army in the sky, Ye Xiao could only express the resentment of Nima in his heart with a hehe laugh.
