Chapter 230: Quiet Night
Although there were still some doubts, Aurelia knew that it was time to let go of this matter. After all, she is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and it is impossible for her to delay it forever because of this trivial matter. Originally, during the confrontation between the two large armies, the news that a small patrol had disappeared or been routed was a normal thing, and Aurelia didn't need to worry too much about it - it was just her instinct as a famous general that told her that there must be some reason for this. I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince will be one of the suspects in this matter, whether it will be one of the discoveries.
However, Aurelia didn't know at this time that Oliebat was actually wronged. In the early hours of the morning, she will be told the truth of everything—through the mouths of the people who started it all.
Speaking of the initiator himself, he is not actually at the official meeting point of the two mech divisions, but in the territory of Sasharante, located in the southeast of Lamar State. He was alone with Mura Fandel.
As an officer of the regular army, it was naturally impossible for Mura to find a way to come to this heavily guarded aristocratic territory by himself. It was Helliga who used his unique spatial transfer technique to run around with Mura and finally came here. That is, Mula's strong physical fitness and the trust he has built up in Heliga through Olibat can support him and Heliga to run the entire course together, still blushing and not panting - there is absolutely no way to stick to this way of using space tearing magic and whirlwind dragon roar to rush and bypass surveillance in a normal person.
Of course, the two of them are not idle and have nothing to do, and they deliberately came to relax. Actually, they had come to check the situation about the evacuation route that had been finalized before—after Hyliga and Olibart had helped the officers make a decision, they no longer had any worries, and since they had decided, they didn't hesitate to give it a go. The officers organized themselves overnight and put together a well-thought-out plan and transfer plan - only a little trouble before completing this big project.
First of all, there is the route of evacuation - counting from the base camp, if you want to follow the established route, bypassing the Great Forest through Sasharante and going straight to the old fortress located in the canyon and south of Haidu, it will take nearly fifteen hundred cel moments - the chariot troops and the few mechs are fine, but it is necessary to have a large number of infantry cross such a distance on foot before dark...... Heliga is not crazy, these soldiers will definitely not be able to do this, they are not people with superpowers.
Well, they had to revise their plan to a mixed mix of light and heavy tanks, and after trying to quickly strike and suppress the reaction forces of Sasharante with a blitzkrieg, they passed directly and quickly, without making a stay. A large number of infantry regiments took a shortcut directly from the forest, directly across the canyon to the old fortress. Heliga would block the road between the canyon and the forest, plus the minefields that had been reserved by the regular army in the vicinity, to delay possible reinforcements from the noble army.
Because of the temporary change in plans, Heiliga and Mura had to do some extra work in addition to understanding the situation. First of all, it is necessary to find out the basic road conditions in Sasharante. Due to the absolute superiority of the aristocratic army here, there is very little news about Sasharante that circulates among the regular army. Therefore, they did not know what the scheming nobleman had arranged, or whether they were worried that the regular army in Lamar might pass by him and send enough men to defend it. However, judging from the brief observation with Mura just now, Sasharante does not seem to have changed much because of the war. Apart from the appropriate tightening of martial law and curfews as a result of necessary military operations, there does not appear to be any change in the transportation conditions required for commercial and civilian activities, and there are no checkpoints for the movement of guided vehicles. This means that when the roar of the integrated tank units of the 6th and 7th Mecha Divisions sounds, the soldiers of Sasharante should be in an unprepared state.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to pass through undetected, especially under the nose of the old capital of Santa Teac. And once it is discovered by the defenders of Sasharante, the information should be immediately transmitted to General Aurelia as an ally. As a front-line officer, Aurelia's troops must be ready to attack at any time, so from that moment on, they were exposed. To this end, the officers made the arrangement that Heliga had requested: all the stockpiled mines were taken out and laid in the middle of the road where the noble army was likely to pass, and the mines were also laid afterwards on the path that the infantry had to pass through the jungle to stop and delay the other side's movements. In this regard, Mura did not say anything, but added that "after the war, we must explain the situation and properly clear the remaining minefields in this vicinity."
The final preparations had also been completed, and Mura solemnly circled the last circle on the map in his hand. The regular army's operations began in full swing early in the afternoon: the captured mechs had been dismantled, and the various parts that the technicians thought might be used had been packed and put into trucks. The captured members of the patrol remained firmly in their custody, while the regular army promised to set the last soldiers free as soon as they were transferred, on the condition that they would obey all possible arrangements, perhaps even unreasonable, during this time. The wounded and sick briefly treated their wounds and then began experimenting with light stretchers carried by infantry units, while a few seriously wounded were incorporated into the center of the chariot corps. The fully mechanized tank unit, consisting of the light tank "Bison" and the heavy tank "Eighteen", has also been assembled, and it is only waiting for the scheduled time before the boy will give the order.
"Mechanized troops, if they don't get in the way of getting in the way, should be able to reach their destination seven hours earlier. The infantry's words are tighter, but judging from the previous situation, as long as it doesn't rain......" Mura looked up at the weather worriedly, "it should be fine." ”
"At least in the first third of the operation, the whereabouts should not be revealed...... If Aurelia had reacted, it would have been at least an hour later. "If all goes well, I'll only have to stay there for four hours...... Not a big problem. ”
"Then I wish you ...... Wu Yun Changlong. ”
