Chapter 108: Children's Day Offensive (2)

In the first week after Children's Day in 1828, the last infantry brigade of Princess Lily's Central Army "Fenrir" arrived at the camp outside the capital of New Tristem, and it was time for the first siege of the Children's Day offensive. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The neighbors in the north did think about how strong the army of Her Royal Highness the princess was, but no one expected that the magic mechanized troops, with the cooperation of the air force, would directly hit the city in waves.

When the Bretanians reported to the rear, they proudly said that the front-line troops were so imposing that the musketeers alone could stretch for as many as five miles, not to mention the overwhelming number of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, which provided aerial fire support to the ground troops like a tidal wave.

Royally funded front-line reporters chronicled the action of the army, of course touting how majestic Fenrir's army was, the officers commanding like a god of war, and the soldiers fighting bravely to the point that it was impossible to beat, anyway, the whole article was this kind of waste snack article, with only a slight mention of casualties in less than three lines, but no one cared about that.

Most of the infantry's casualties were actually caused by their own falls or attacks by the militia, and according to Lorraine's plan after the start of the military operation, if only one soldier was killed in enemy-occupied territory, fifty suspects must be surrendered from the area.

Such a costly streak would certainly provoke a revolt, but it was a pity that the red commissars who had already run here to develop pacified these people, and coupled with the indestructibility of the magic armor (at least for the civilians), two-thirds of the land and people of New Trisham surrendered to the feet of the army.

The only difficulty in the whole state is now in the capital, and it is not necessary to mobilize too many troops to conquer this broken place, but now the offensive is launched to conquer the whole north, and the number of soldiers will only increase, not lessβ€”not to mention that the dead soldiers can also deduct some pensions, and if anyone finds out, they only need to put the blame on the bastards in the rear.

Leaving aside these dark insiders, Lorraine was now on a tower on the outskirts of the capital of Nova Tristem, using a telescope to observe the fortifications opposite.

When he first arrived here, the magic guide armor and a part of the gyrocopter launched a tentative attack, and it was unexpectedly found that although the new Tristm state soldiers in the main body were still not very good, the troops transferred by those city-states to reinforce actually had the same magic guide armor, and there were also Peng Bird air cavalry to counterattack in the air.

I have to say that their magic armor looks a little weird, and the flamethrower in their hands is enough to cause the magic armor to overheat badly for fifteen seconds in a row, and because of this, Lorraine has lost a squad of magic armor.

In order to secure the next attack plan and to wait for the artillery unit, Army Group Fenrir temporarily stopped on the outskirts of the capital of Nova Trisham.

"It's kind of interesting, those city-state armies seem to be reinforcing the city gates." Lorraine put down her binoculars and smiled at the officer beside her, "Where is our artillery?" ”

"There is still one day to reach the preset artillery position." An officer immediately replied, "Yes, this time I want to try a new tactic, I wonder if the God of the Battlefield and the Air Force will work together to become a new way of fighting......

Lorraine originally planned to cooperate with the infantry and artillery, cooperate with the magic armor and the rotorcraft to crush the opposite capital, but all kinds of information and what he just saw all showed that the opposite side was preparing for street fighting.

Street fighting is bloody and desperate for any of the world's armies, and if there's a good adjective that sums it up, it's "brutal."

A high-intensity street battle can have terrible consequences for both sides of the battle, not to mention the fact that at such a high cost, you can get only a pile of rubble and heavy casualties, not to mention the enemy reinforcements and local residents who see you as mortal enemies.

Unlike field warfare, the battlefield of street fighting is divided by a variety of buildings and bunkers, and reconnaissance and firepower are confined to a small area, with intricate streets, looming enemies, and sudden bullets......

All this makes street fighting full of unknowns, and for anyone to be vigilant at all times, the double stress and pain of both physical and mental can break soldiers and officers at any time.

This is just the perception of street fighting in the age of the earth, there is still magic here, the thought of chaotic magical energy flying around anytime and anywhere, Lorraine subconsciously shivered, Fontainebleau those terrible battles, he didn't want to do it again at all.

Fortunately, this time Lorraine was on the offensive side, and he was not prepared to fill the flesh mill with soldiers and technical weapons, but had prepared some gadgets to help the army group cross this obstacle.

A day later, the artillery commanders, Jonathan and Colonel Enfield, arrived at the siege camp, bringing with them more than 200 large and medium-sized guns, most of which were high-quality breech guns that had been used no more than 50 times, and a few were special enchanted guns.

For these awesome gods of the battlefield, Lorraine didn't need them to provide cover for the infantry, just that they calibrated the coordinates and dropped the mountains of shells and special ammunition into the city.

In order to compensate for the problem of artillery coverage, the two air groups were also ordered to equip bombing equipment, and they had to go deep into the capital city to ensure that every corner of the city was allocated an alchemy bomb or flame fuel barrel.

Lorraine walked all the way from the artillery position to the field field, stroking the cold barrels and the skin of the enchanted planes, and chatting happily with their operators to boost the morale of the soldiers.

These latest weapons are terrifying, even the gods and the undead must be kept in awe, and from the point of view of killing efficiency, the invention of human war can definitely be regarded as the most terrible talent, and no matter which nation must admit it.

Artillery and warplanes will redefine the way warfare is conducted, the traditional air cavalry is no longer suitable for large-scale frontal battles, and the only way to win the air force is in the era of dragons.

The overwhelming artillery bombardment can easily cut through the entire battlefield, and the magic armor reduces the cavalry to a second-rate unit, which can only play a limited role in reconnaissance and small force raids.

The only way to have such an advantage is to let the rear start the era of magical industrialization, drive civilians to work in factories without sleep, and let prisoners of war and slaves work until they die in raw material gathering fields.

It is indeed cruel and ruthless, and the consequences of doing so will definitely have serious consequences, but it is also the only way to allow Josephine to obtain the army as quickly as possible.

In the end, Lorraine withdrew his gaze from these battlefield kings, and Brigadier General Ye, the deputy commander of the group army, was waiting on the sidelines.

"Commander Lorraine." Brigadier General's voice was full of enthusiasm, "Colonel Jonathan promised that the artillery would be ready in six hours, and the Air Force promised the same. ”

"Very good." Lorraine nodded, and followed the brigadier general towards the headquarters, "A night of waiting, I wonder if the soldiers on the opposite side will surprise us?" ”

"I don't think there will be any surprises, where will the northerners who have long been frightened have the courage to rush out."

"That's right." (To be continued.) )
