——TR.81.2.2——

Tulasis II, outside the fortress of Howey.

"[In a group of five, stand in your place!] 】（Inthepipe，fivebyfive）”

"[Tie yourselves, I'm going to speed up!] 】”

With an announcement from the Hercules transport plane's cabin, the clone marines were silent fixing their power armor to the set drop slot.

Due to the superior shock absorption of power armor, the federal transport aircraft have no parachute jump or landing links at all, and they have always opened the bottom of the cabin directly to drop passengers, and in this kind of dropping behavior, experienced natural soldier soldiers will not be injured, but military common sense is that clone soldiers who are "infused" have a 3% attrition rate.

Boom –

The low-flying transport plane jolted twice from time to time.

"Hey, cowboy, I don't think your mission is reliable this time." Tykes chewed gum and said to Renault beside him.

"My instincts tell me that staying in the fortress is likely to die," Renault replied, "and if Mimattar's gang decides to embark on a general assault, there will be no relatively safe place - except for the lieutenant colonel's headquarters." ”

"Who cares about the safety of a bitch," Tykes scoffed, "I mean, this mission of 'airdropping to the rear of Mimatar Land Base to destroy supply depots' is of no value at all, and it is not conducive to our promotion and wealth." ”

Not...... It's quite in line with Tykes' personality.

The acquaintance of Renaud and Tykes was actually not pleasant, at that time Renault was not the captain of the special operations team, and was assigned to be a temporary sheriff, just caught Tykes privately taking the equipment from the barracks warehouse, when he drank and ordered him to raise his hands to surrender, he was threatened by Tykes with a gun pointed at his head, and then Renault's colleagues raised their guns to aim at Tykes, and Tykes's companions raised their guns to aim at Renault's colleagues, and then the surrounding soldiers joined the "dominoes" of "pointing at guns" purely in a lively manner, and the scene was spectacular for a while.

In the end, Renault and Tykes, the two leaders of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, were confined together for half a month.

During this period, the two sides sneered and exchanged words through the bars, but Renault, who was a little stunned, understood why he was also locked up: because he failed to control the scene in the first place after discovering the case, he made a big fuss.

Surrounded by enemies, the Howe Fortress didn't care who was more justified in a conflict, and its commander didn't want any conflict at all.

After that, it was the cliché "don't fight, don't know each other" episode, and the two became friends inexplicably.

"If there is no value, we will not deliberately mobilize our 'Heavenly Demons'." Renault regained his senses for a moment, then shook his head and opened the mission briefing he had received again on the screen inside the helmet.

"[Federation 321 Legion, 'Heavenly Demon'. 】”

With the electronic synthesized sound, the Legion emblem and the Task Force logo rotated in parallel for a few seconds before flashing, followed by a large aerial view of Hovey Fortress and its surroundings.

"[Howe Fortress is under siege by the rebels of the Mimatar Star Sector, and their direction of attack is here, here and here, and we must stop their advance, and the suitable places to stop it are here, here and here. 】”

Thick arrows appeared in all three directions, except for the side of the hill that was close to the fortress, and after the word "place" exited, the arrows' forward momentum stopped, and with the click of writing on paper, several horizontal bars appeared in front of them, symbolizing a strong defensive line. every day

"[Our air defense is insufficient, and in order to protect the defensive line, we need to place anti-aircraft arrays near them, such as here. 】”

Brush Brush Brush - Around the horizontal line representing the "line of defense", a number of circles appear.

"[According to intelligence, during this battle, the Mimatar rebels may carry out sneak attacks on weakly defended areas by stealth or airdrop orbital silos, and they will appear here.] 】”

With the familiar clatter, some relatively empty positions were crossed, and even the inside of the fortress and the cliffs behind it were not spared.

Perhaps judging that the markings on the map were too dense and somewhat demoralizing, the electronic voice continued to speak after a pause:

"Obviously, such a large number of troops requires an equally large amount of logistics, and the enemy is in a hurry to disguise and protect the newly built supply depots, and if we can destroy them, it will be possible to win an early victory.] 】”

The besieged Howe Fortress stretched out an arrow in a Jedi counterattack, pointing straight to the edge of the map, where two of the Mimatar rebels' "arrows" began.

"Unfortunately, due to the fragmentation of the ZoC area, we are unable to provide any support to the soldiers who have chosen this mission, and you are left to your own devices. 】”

Good luck. 】”

At the end of the briefing, the icon of the "Heavenly Demon" with black wings and white skulls turned around three more times, and the whole briefing was completely over.

This was not the case in the original briefing, with a "choose the battlefield you want to join" option instead of the last two sentences, and the optional battlefields included frontal defense against the enemy, protection of anti-aircraft positions, fort patrols, and targeted strikes, represented by glowing circles and arrows pointing at it, and in the end, Renault chose the task of attacking the rear after much consideration.

After all, it is the interstellar era, and the cost of catching the enemy off guard through the information gap is not half a star higher than before, and the war can often predict the opponent's style of play before it begins, and if the participants are all clones, even the result can be determined, so in the end, which side of the balance of victory will be tilted, it is the natural human special combat team that behaves unpredictably like the "Heavenly Demon".

In other words, the strategy of the Howe Fortress to sneak attack the supply depot was known by Mimatar from the beginning, and the Howe Fortress also knew that they knew, and the suspense was which side would send the natural man troops, and which side would win if both sides sent the natural man troops.

If you play a further game, in a battle like a sneak attack on a supply depot, you should theoretically bring more weapons that damage higher to buildings, and when the defender expects this, it will naturally send troops and weapons that can be effective against those "siege weapons", but if the attacking side is against this, it will send troops and weapons that are effective against "engineering weapons......

Those who think more than one layer wins, and those who think more than two layers lose.

And the choice of the "Heavenly Demon" special combat team is a coordinated infantry and tan tactics that do not occupy both sides, and no matter what combination of arms you prefer, you can open five or five.

In the case of tanks, it's the one in the back—

Boom Boom! The transport plane behind exploded in the air, and the ship Renault was riding in also spun wildly as if it had been smashed with a hammer.

The alarm bell in the transport plane sounded, and the soldiers who did not hold on to it staggered for a while.

"[Discover 'Valkyrie' and 'Goliath'! The pilot shouted, "[Those fools want to blow us up in the sky!] It's all set, I'm going to airdrop it early! 】”

"Haha!" Tykes laughed: "We are paratroopers, born to be surrounded!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, the cabin floor opened, and he, along with Renault and two groups of soldiers nearby, was thrown down.
