Chapter 4: The First Sortie - The Battle of Blacksis
Lin Yidong used a short-range teleportation device to teleport from the flagship of the expeditionary force Alexandria to the battle cruiser where the 19th Division was located, and the commander of the 19th Division was a good old man, and he quickly handled the formalities for Lin Yidong to take up the post of regiment commander, and Lin Yidong also came to the station where the 4th Regiment of the 19th Division was located.
A division-level battle patrol is still very large, so five regiments with a division have a good space to live and train on the battle patrol. Lin Yidong rode the internal rail train in the battle patrol, and when he was driving in the battle patrol, he couldn't stop admiring the strength of the earth army.
When he came to the station of the Fourth Regiment, Lin Yidong found the regimental headquarters of the Fourth Regiment, took over the command of the Fourth Regiment, and began to organize the Fourth Regiment in a hurry with the regimental headquarters personnel of the Fourth Regiment.
Planet Blacksis, the Tyranid Empire has a major military base on the planet Blacksis. Due to the harsh natural environment of this planet, there are fewer inhabitants on the planet. And Lieutenant General Stukov saw the important strategic value of the planet Blacksis: the planet Blacksis is on the way to the space passage of the Koplu star region and the solar system star region, once the planet is not under the control of the expeditionary force, then the expeditionary force wants to retreat to the earth must go around a very large distance before it can carry out the long-range jump; Planet Blacksis is sparsely populated and has a harsh climate, but it is located in a relatively remote location, and it is a good choice to stock up on strategic reserves here; There is a military base of the Tyranid Empire on the planet Blacksis, and by capturing this military base, you can learn more about the details of the Koplu Star Zone.
Therefore, the planet Blacksis was finally attacked by Kerrigan in the Battle of the Brood and lost, which is one of the reasons why the main force of Admiral Dugal's UED Expeditionary Force was unable to quickly evacuate the Koplu Star Zone and was overwhelmed by the swarm.
Stukov thought of Lin Yidong's suggestion - the cage tactic, using fortress urbanization to form a solid strategic base point, and pulling up the space orbit defense line to gradually compress the strategic space of all forces in the Koplu Star Zone.
And the practice of pulling one faction and fighting one faction is also very much in line with Stukov's appetite, although this is not very consistent with the purpose of the great humanism of the radical United Earth Council, but Stukov is also of Russian descent, so he is not very interested in this United Earth Council that was integrated and established by the main **** of the earth, for which Admiral Dugar has not criticized Stukov.
The vanguard of the UED has arrived at the surrounding star field of the planet Blacksis, and Lin Yidong is also in the regimental headquarters of the fourth regiment at this time, with the 19th Division as the first batch of UED troops to officially attack the Koplu star area, they are heading towards the planet Blacksis.
"Defenders of the United Earth Council, I am Admiral Gerard Dugar."
Three hours before the official start of the attack, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Admiral Gerard Dugar, delivered a radio address addressed to all officers and men of the expeditionary fleet.
"After a long period of twisting and turning, the expeditionary force has come to this Koplu star sector, I believe that you have already made clear the goal of this expedition as early as when the earth boarded the fleet, we will capture this star sector and turn it into a part of the human forces on the earth. Not only do we have to deal with ridiculous regimes and armies made up of descendants of prisoners exiled from Earth, but we also have to deal with two alien races that have never formally interacted with each other. From now on, our fates are tightly tied together, and if we don't win this expeditionary war, then no one will be able to return to Earth alive! For the United Council for the Earth! For humanity! For victory! ”
Very old-fashioned speech, but very effective, Lin Yidong looked at the four regiment headquarters in the regiment headquarters, and found that there was a touch of majestic fanaticism in the eyes of these taciturn people, Lin Yidong gave up further communication with these people, because for a group of people who are just driven by fanaticism to carry out the orders of their superiors, there is no need to have deep friendships, what Lin Yidong needs is a helper who can have strong self-judgment ability and calm command and scheduling ability to assist him in completing his huge plan.
What's more, Lin Yidong also wanted to establish his own army of the three clans, how could the powerful UED fleet of just one Terran be able to satisfy the appetite of the traverser.
However, Lin Yidong didn't think about that for the time being, because according to Sarnagaorus and Lin Tong, he had the ability to control the armies of the three clans, but it didn't show much now.
And what Lin Yidong is thinking about now is that under the unified command of the 19th Division, he will lead his four regiments to land in the area of the Planet Blakes and capture the planet Planet Blacksis, and then he can start his own plan.
The Bertdes base was built at the foot of a half-hill, but the main entrance of the base was a narrow land with large lakes on both sides, and the 19th Division, as the main ground force, did not have enough amphibious combat ships on land, water and air, so the 19th Division either risked heavy losses to strengthen the Botdes base, or found another way.
When Lin Yidong followed the troops of the Fourth Regiment to the surface of Blacksis on a second-class cruiser, the combat deployment of the commander of the 19th Division was also issued.
"The 16th and 17th Divisions are responsible for leveling the Imperial forces on the periphery of the Botdeus base, the 18th and 20th Divisions will be used to sweep away scattered troops in other areas of the planet Blacksis with the help of the Second Army's Aerospace Combat Cluster, and the 19th Division is responsible for the main attack on the Botdeus base, occupy the base, and seize the armament data of the Tyranid Empire and the intelligence documents of the Kopluan Star Zone."
The six regiments of the 19th Division were mainly responsible for air combat support, and the other five regiments were scattered around the base of the Botdes, and the headquarters of the 19th Division were on the 19th Division's battlecruisers, providing coordinated dispatch and support and long-range fire suppression.
Lin Yidong's 4th Regiment came to the predetermined deployment place, the main gate of the Botdez base faced south, and the 4th Regiment was deployed in the east, not the main attack direction, and its main role was to contain and cooperate with the 3rd and 2nd Regiments located in the south direction to launch an attack.
Lin Yidong put on the power armor on the second-class cruiser of the Fourth Regiment, and followed the marines of the Fourth Regiment to the surface in a transport boat. As soon as Lin Yidong got off the transport boat, several marines around him noticed that this person who was silently running to the battlefield behind them was wearing the lieutenant colonel and regimental command insignia: "Hey? Look at this sign, you are the head of the regiment, right? ”
Lin Yidong waved his hand: "Ahem, I am Lieutenant Colonel Lin Yidong Mantefield, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, and I was worried that I would not be able to see clearly in the regimental patrol ship in this combat operation, so I also followed everyone to the front line." Hey, don't be stunned, everyone, hurry up and get ready for this war. ”
Lin Yidong ran from the landing ground to the temporary advance base of the Fourth Regiment, and the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Regiment looked at the young regiment commander in surprise, but as Lin Yidong chatted with the officers and soldiers in the regimental channel, the officers and soldiers gradually accepted an eighteen-year-old lieutenant colonel commander.
"Hey, I said the regimental leader." At this time, a Marine shouted in the channel with great interest: "This time it's not our main attack mission, just play the meaning of it, then there are two regiments and three regiments on the front, can't they be defeated?" ”
Lin Yidong mysteriously hung everyone's appetite: "Who said that we didn't make a feint attack or a main attack?" Wouldn't it be nice for us to be a little more flexible, a fire reconnaissance, to the base of the Empire?! ”
"Makes sense!" "Hey, that captain, then we're going to have a lot of strength, I have to let these bastards on the other side taste our steel tracks and roar!" "Captain! Then our battalion will have to play forward! "A battalion, you can go along! We have to let our second battalion come to attack this matter! ”……
Lin Yidong stepped onto a vulture car, galloped around the base to inspect the situation, and quietly waited for the reconnaissance troops he had scattered and the news from the foreign channel.
"Head Lin, I received an unknown communication request."
When Lin Yidong and the others were anxious, when the second regiment and the third regiment were fighting, the prompt of the mechanical adjutant was just right into Lin Yidong's channel.
Lin Yidong smiled slightly, and ordered in the channel: "Adjutant, take over the communication." ”
A man's voice soon came from inside the power armor mask: "Hats off, this is Samir Duran, we are a rebel group against the Monsk Empire......"
