Chapter 365 & 366 Coordinated Operations (2 & 3)

I know a little bit about the current situation, which is why it makes people feel that there is little hope of victory.

Sometimes I really feel cowardice about myself, and if I am a hard-hearted guy, I will not hesitate to make a decision for the sake of small difficulties.

According to the intelligence of the Wanwang, the fleet of the Belland people has entered the orbit of Mars, and Mrs. Wall's alert fleet is already at a disadvantage, and it is divided into two factions, one of which converges with the biochemical fleet and acts as a long-range fire support for the biochemical fleet, and the remaining vigilant fleet continues to retreat. The situation on the track is so severe that even our ship group, which is the escort and honor guard of the negotiating group, cannot safely gain a foothold.

If it was just a surprise attack, it wouldn't be telling, after all, Mrs. Wall had a large reserve fleet in the depths of Mars, and the number of starships waiting to be further assembled on the huge slipway was already very impressive.

However, at this time, there is civil unrest, and it is very fatal to disrupt the development of Avalon's defense mechanism.

As long as the biochemical fleet blocks the passage of Avalon's combat ships, no matter how much stamina the unmanned fleet has, the whole situation will be a dead end.

The vigilant unmanned fleet is still struggling to support, trying to buy time for the main force to attack with the advantage of mobility and long-range firepower, but unfortunately the civil strife has caused the main Avalon to gather inside the base and let time pass.

In such a situation, can I really save the situation by relying only on the more than 2,000 people under my command?

I didn't believe in victory, so I was afraid that I would bring my emotions to my subordinates, and while pretending to be calm in front of the mid-level officers, I canceled the description of the impact of long-term victory in the pre-war mobilization.

Constantly emphasizing the outcome of the battle will affect the entire battle situation.

Pale formulations do not convince anyone at all.

Those silent eyes with despair made me unbearable to look at them.

I hastily ended my worst pre-war speech since I became a commander.

Cut off the radio communication loop and disband the mid-level officers who had gathered around them.

I was alone and looked at Avalon as the explosions and flames lit up, and my mood gradually calmed down.

Troops are gathering around and adjusting formation. Although despair has spread, it will not affect the pre-war preparations for the time being, not because of the strength of my deployment, but because of the tenacity of the veteran soldiers.

What calms me down is empathy. Maybe it's because the despair is overflowing, and it's more likely that the veteran's experience is finally starting to work. I finally stopped wandering and fearing.

Looking at the scene in front of you with an unbiased eye, a certain sense of beauty with an element of disillusionment can't help but make people's hearts pound.

Then I felt ironic that once upon a time, my greatest goal was to keep these Mrs. Wall in their underground base forever, and in less than a year my position was completely reversed, and I had to fight desperately to secure their way out. Under the impermanence of the world, how ridiculous our thoughts and behaviors as ants are.

Smiling at the burning and exploding mechanical city, negative emotions such as fear and hesitation are not worth mentioning as if they were unfounded.

When I turned around again, my mind was already emotional, and my emotions were clear.

"Colonel, the troops have been prepared before the battle, please instruct."

Zach's face was full of solemnity, but I felt like a bystander, and I felt that they were overly nervous, and I didn't realize that I was one of them just now.

"We're not going to join up with the main forces in Avalon."

"What!"

Under Zack's incredulous gaze, I approached the tactical computer at the temporary headquarters, and skillfully operated the keyboard to re-enter the coordinates of the troop movement and change the tactical commands.

"I order the whole army to carry out the attack according to the new plan, targeting the departure control center of Avalon and the underground dock, and must complete the relevant tactical objectives within five hours."

I feel like I was commanding now as I had been ten minutes ago.

From the expression of Deputy Zack, it can also be inferred that he was surprised and shocked.

"However, sir, I don't know anything about your tactical planning and troop path arrangement! There is no way to assist you in filling in the gaps in the pre-war program, so ......"

I held out my hand and motioned for Zach to say no more.

"Of course, you can't do your normal staff work, because I also came up with this plan on the fly, but don't stare at me with the eyes of a madman, I'm definitely not crazy. We have no future to fight according to the established plan, so I would rather take a risk and maybe turn around. ”

Zach didn't say anything more after all, because the troops had already started to move, and it was too late for him to do anything at this time.

The mid-ranking officers were not without their doubts, but on my grounds of military secrecy, all doubts were suppressed.

I wasn't really crazy, but under a sudden epiphany, I saw that the key point of the whole battle was not the victory or defeat of the army units, but whether the main forces of the unmanned fleet could attack in time.

Twenty minutes after the troops set off, I used all means of communication to broadcast the tactical intent of the Marines to the entire battlefield, and explained to Verelli, who was staring at me in a daze, that this would not only inform Zeratul of our intentions, so that he could cooperate in advance, but also give the rebels and the Berlandians a dilemma, they must decide whether to continue to attack Madame Wall's main force, or turn around and stop us, no matter how they act, will break the existing stalemate, Maybe it's more limited than if we directly sent troops to relieve the siege.

"Sir, sometimes you can do something that surprises people, and maybe you're actually good commander material."

"Oh, didn't I perform well before, and I wasn't a qualified commander?"

"To be honest, it's a bit of a gap from qualifying."

This was the end of the conversation with Verelli, and he quickly agreed to my plan, which gave me more confidence in this whimsical tactical case.

……

……

Within three hours, a large number of non-self-contained mechanized infantry appeared in a dense area of construction equipment seven kilometers in front of the troops. Five minutes later, a swarm of drones the size of a person's arms appeared.

At three hours and twenty minutes, the effort to shoot down the miniature fighter using EMP bombs failed, and Wolf Technology's anti-jamming capabilities once again taught us a profound lesson.

At three hours and twenty-five minutes, the drone swarm launched an overwhelming air attack on the reconnaissance company that broke through, although individual air defense weapons shot down single-digit drones, but for more than 100 drones, this anti-aircraft firepower is equivalent to nothing.

Wei Leili urgently mobilized the Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine gun group in each combat unit to provide fire cover for the reconnaissance company, and by the time the follow-up reinforcements arrived, the reconnaissance company had already lost more than half.

The defeat of the reconnaissance company cast a shadow over the success of the unit's operation.

Three hours and forty minutes, with the modification of the fighters' control one by one and the tactics of shooting down with heavy machine guns. The drone swarm of the Wolf rebels finally retreated after losing a third of their forces.

During this period, the pace of the troops' advance was affected, and the overall progress was 20 per cent behind the projections.

After consulting with Verelli and Zack, I decided to divide up my forces and attack the target in one way, the other. The reserves, led by Zach, headed for the second objective. In this way, the enemy will send more troops to block it, waiting for an opportunity to relieve the pressure on Zeratul.

At 3 hours and 40 minutes, the Weirelli detachment, which was advancing to the port control center, was blocked by the subhumans, and he retreated two kilometers and entered a defensive posture relying on the building complex.

My detachment, which had been heading towards the dock, turned to the center of the harbor based on the intelligence, and the Zack detachment, which had been following behind the group, turned to the dock at a rapid pace.

At four hours and ten minutes, my detachment was attacked by the combined forces of the sub-Japanese and Wolf rebels. Our detachment relied on the advantage of transforming the perception of the soldiers' brain domains to fight while retreating.

The Verelli detachment suddenly attacked, breaking through the resistance of the sub-people who lacked troops in one fell swoop. While our detachment was trying to retreat to fill the force vacuum left by the defeat of the Asians, a large force of Zeratul's Wolf's army finally arrived.

Ten minutes later, reinforcements from the Combine's side arrived. The two sides clashed head-on between the starport and the dockyard, and between the vast complexes.

The flames of war are especially tragic among the emotionless warriors.

The mechanical infantry who lost half of their bodies stubbornly crawled towards the final goal, and the enemy, the same model of mechanical soldier stepped on the back of his former companion without hesitation, sparks flew everywhere, and the electric arc swam, and the half-mechanical soldier on the ground remained motionless, while the perpetrator was tripped by the wreckage under his feet, lost his ability to maneuver and was tragically penetrated by a small-caliber cannon that fired directly at the roar, and exploded.

A tall and warlike subhuman, just took a mechanical soldier, smashed it and reduced it to parts, and then several other mechanical soldiers fearlessly swarmed up, roaring that the Central Asian finally got rid of the entanglement, but the body stiffened, and then the huge head burst open.

The sniper who had completed the accurate blow whistled in satisfaction and rolled down the gentle slope in front of me, presumably intending to carry out the tactical strategy of changing places with one shot, but unexpectedly, a streamer flashed in mid-air, and the whole body and his infantry exoskeleton were torn apart like a puppet.

"Be careful of the sniping of drones, transform the fighters and don't participate in the battle for the time being, and pay close attention to the movements of stealth drones in the sky."

I can only respond to the tragic death of this excellent sniper with a single order, it is impossible to avenge him, nor to preserve the corpse of the martyr, and in the crowded battlefield, only the victor has the privilege of preserving the corpse of his companion, and now that the victory is not decided, considering the situation of the corpse is tantamount to contempt for the survivors.

When the battle is fought to this extent, the so-called command, tactics, strategy, etc. no longer work.

The essence of war itself, which loves to fight for strength and resources, is undoubtedly revealed.

On a staggered defensive line, my troops can barely sustain their survival, and the human warriors are at a particularly obvious disadvantage in the face of a ferocious and emotionless enemy. My men can't afford too many casualties, and even the most elite troops, when the number of remnants are less than 20%, they can't be said to be combat-effective at all, and even if the defense line does not collapse, it can be described as a mediocre decoration.

The lack of opponents is different, whether it is the Wolf rebel or the fighting subhuman, they are all armies that are not afraid of life and death, and will fight to the last man will go all out.

Looking at the subordinates who were gradually destroying in front of me, my heart was bleeding, but there was nothing I could do. In the melee and the war of attrition, the superiority of human morale cannot be revealed, and the flaws are almost played in turns, and it is truly a miracle that it has not collapsed until now.

"Colonel, we can't spend any longer, I suggest concentrating the elite to occupy the port control center first."

Wei Leili woke me up at a loss.

At the risk of the defensive line collapsing, I recall the last two surviving reformed warriors. The three of us formed a breakthrough team, and in the desperate counter-charge of friendly forces, we drilled through the small openings that were torn up in a period of time.

……

……

The scuffle took a turn seven hours after it began. I connected with the other two reformed fighters and successfully evaded the combined forces and entered the Starport Hub, which was controlled by the Wolf rebels. This is a fully automated facility, and the so-called occupation is actually a brigade of mechanical soldiers to occupy the facility and cut off the existing communication circuit of the facility.

The three of us took advantage of the chaos of the Great War to first make good use of the elite Mrs. Wall, who was responsible for the security of the facility, and then used the network blocking problem in the tactical exchange layer to make the stationed mechs stupid and foolish. Immediately, under the guidance of Wei Leili's plan, we did not contact our own team or Zeratul, but connected to the external circuit, and directly restored the port control center in the facility that still had not surrendered to normal operation.

The combined forces then sent the subhumans to counterattack, and the three of us had to retreat to the interior of the facility.

Just when I thought I was doomed, there was a screech of air currents and explosions far larger than army weapons.

Wolff's unmanned fleet has finally broken free and is ready to soar into the sky.

……

……

The battle ended quickly.

The addition of the unmanned fleet made the situation of the war one-sided.

Before the three of us left the facility, the combined forces had begun to retreat. With inexplicable excitement and the luck of the rest of my life, I finally returned to the position of my unit, only to see the crippled elite of the Marine Corps, and the soldiers who did not know if they should have cheered for the victory of the enemy.

……

……

When I returned to the Kings, I saw an excited and somewhat incoherent Jasmine.

"Great, you're here at the right time, the damn biochemical fleet is going to be out of luck!"

"If you have something to say, let's clear up your thoughts first."

Wei Leili is very strict in this regard, even if it is not a subordinate but Jasmine of different branches, he will not hesitate to point out his mistakes.

The petite female captain grimaced at him. Then he faced me.

"Ping, it's great, the unmanned fleet is coming out at the right time. We received unenhanced wave communications from the Yunshan. ”

"So what?"

"How? You won't fail to understand what a non-booster wave is! Although this low-frequency electromagnetic wave has the advantage of strong anti-interference and is not easy to intercept, it is an out-and-out short-legged wave, which can only be used inside the planetary system under normal circumstances! ”

In Jasmine's accented accent and her excited expression, I finally came to my senses, and involuntarily grabbed Jasmine's little hand and shouted, "They're coming, right, they didn't follow the plan and came directly to Mars!" God has eyes, long live the commander! ”

Before we returned to Wanwang, Wanwang received a short-range communication from its flagship Yunshan, which meant that the main fleet of the Jupiter system had also arrived in orbit around Mars.

Finally, the fleet of the Jupiter system and the unmanned fleet have completed a substantial union.

Less than an hour after returning to Wanwang, Yunshan broadcast to the entire Mars system to complete the coordination with the unmanned fleet, and the main force of the fleet has become a whole with the unmanned fleet.

Immediately, Zeratul and Kramer appeared on the other end of the communication at the same time, jointly announcing the official start of the operation against the biochemical fleet.

Five minutes later, the Wanwang received an order to return to space to participate in the upcoming decisive battle of the main force of the fleet.
