Chapter 421: Duel
After rescuing the Eighth Marine Division of the Star Alliance, the allies of the Star Alliance and the Eastern Empire did not immediately launch an attack on the Western Empire, not because they didn't want to, but because they attacked in a hurry, and it was likely that the opponent would play a defensive counterattack. In front of them, there is a huge problem - landing.
As mentioned earlier, 70% of the surface of the entire planet A912 is covered by water, and now the Allies occupy a very small land area, most of which is in the hands of the Western Empire. This is actually the reason why the Eastern and Western Empires fell into a tug-of-war when the Star Alliance did not join in at the beginning: because the Western Empire occupied a large number of land resources, the most advantageous land forces of the Eastern Empire, especially the mecha troops, could not fully play their role (like Li Dong, it is very rare to use the mecha troops as a navy, so Li Dong was criticized after this rescue operation, of course, this is a digression).
This stalemate broke the balance of power between the two sides because of the Covenant peacekeeping, or actually participating in the war to support the Eastern Empire. The Star Covenant has the most advanced theory of army and navy cooperative operations and corresponding troops, and at the same time is well-armed (if it were not for the above two points, the 8th Marine Division of the Star Alliance would not have been able to support such a long time in the case of encirclement).
At present, the biggest problem is how to get the Allies to cut into the battlefield of the army from an effective angle, and for this reason, continuous discussion and research have begun since the end of the rescue operation.
Three days later, the rear military staff, under the polemic deduction of the two sides, that is, the Eastern Empire troops led by the third prince and the support forces of the Star Alliance, which can be said to be mutually incompatible, came up with an offensive plan that both sides reluctantly agreed: take the beaches along the Roddy line as the entry point, carry out multi-point beach-rushing landings, and form a sickle shape from multiple troops, which can tear a big hole in the coastal defense line of the Western Empire in one or more places.
"Damn!" Li Dong immediately realized that he could not have anything to do with himself for a while. Some are glad and some are at a loss. It's naturally good to be able to fight without having to fight, but seeing those Star Alliance Marines who were waiting for their rescue a few days ago actually became the main force in this operation, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
More importantly, when he saw that battle plan, there was a trace of vigilance and a little throbbing in his heart. Li Dong read the battle plan many times, and even in the end, he was able to memorize it like a stream, but he still didn't realize how the trace of uneasiness in his heart came from. It wasn't until he used the deduction technique, or the upgraded version of the delay-Cao deduction technique, that he also added a lot of deduction techniques of different systems that he had consulted from Murong Manying.
In general, this set of deduction techniques is Li Dong's understanding of deduction: a kind of deduction of reality by removing various factors, removing secondary and uncritical factors, and calculating the most subjective factors. Although he still felt that there were some deficiencies in it, he could only do this now without receiving formal military studies.
As a result of the deduction, Li Dong knew his own reason. In this kind of completely head-to-head duel, even with the help of the Star Alliance Marines, the existing forces of the Eastern Empire would lose more than 50%.
This is definitely not a small number, on average, one out of two people will die!
When Li Dong heard that there were also mixed female battalions among the attacking troops, he began to be really anxious. It's not that he has any thoughts about Philo and the others in the women's barracks, it's just that he can't sit still when he thinks that the people he knows will have a half chance of losing.
"He hasn't come out yet, it's been 24 hours!" Sabini frowned at Li Dong, who had locked herself in the mecha since last night. Originally, I wanted to make a special for him today, but seeing this guy like crazy, it seems that there is no drama. Sabini really couldn't figure it out, although she didn't know the military issues very well, but she also knew that this attack, at least there was nothing to do with the 15th Mecha Battalion where Reykya was.
However, there are some things, as long as there is Li Dong mixed up, it will often surprise others, such as the fact that he used catapults in the navy without authorization before, and this is the case with mecha from auxiliary to the main force of battle.
"Oh yes, it's done!" Li Dong kicked open the hatch of the mecha cockpit, which startled the officers and soldiers of Sabini and the 15th Battalion who were learning machine repair knowledge below.
They only saw Li Dong, whose eyes were red and his face was full of scum, actually jumped down from the mecha more than ten meters away, and then disappeared like a gust of wind. It takes less than ten seconds before and after.
"chief, did you come up with some terrifying mecha battle array?" the monkey looked at the direction in which Li Dong had disappeared and asked with some confusion.
Half of his face shook his whole body, and his face that looked very vicious also revealed a look of fear.
Chen Youfang immediately slapped the monkey's head heavily and scolded: ", crow's mouth, quick, spit, please bless the good and the bad spirits." ”
The other soldiers of the 15th Battalion present nodded in agreement. They were really frightened by the rich imagination of their battalion commander. Don't think that Li Dong only invented three battle formations, in fact, he almost came up with the speed of one battle formation every day, and he was using his infinite energy to toss thousands of mecha divisions in the 15th battalion. And there are only three types of power and success.
"Big sister, we've taken a picture of the clip just now!" said the cameraman of the film crew on the other side, smugly, and at the same time peeked at Sabini's delicate face. He was frightened by the latter, and since he came, especially after the deputy station commander determined that he was going to chase the battalion commander, he even gave death orders to several cameramen to shoot 24 hours a day. I really don't know if I want to exclude a shocking documentary that includes eating, drinking, and sleeping, or if I just want to pay attention to the dynamics of my rival.
Sabini nodded this time, but did not respond violently. She just discovered that Li Dong's face was no longer lazy, but instead of persistent.
...... Li Dong's battle plan was finally submitted to the hands of the general command at a rocket-like speed, not because of how powerful his plan was, but because this plan only added some other actions under the original landing plan. Therefore, the reason why he was willing to submit his plan to the third prince Yali in just 3 hours was because Li Dong deliberately wrote a few words in his extremely ugly calligraphy: "This plan can reduce the casualties of the Eastern Empire by more than 60%." ”
For the sake of these few words, all the people of the Eastern Empire quickly passed layers of instructions, and finally handed this plan to the general headquarters 24 hours before the battle.
At that time, the commander of the Star Alliance was also in the office of the third prince, and the two had just confirmed the operational command for the last time, and just when all the staff officers were about to disband, this plan was delivered at the same time.
