Chapter 124: The Route to the North (Fourth Update)
After learning that it was not Montgomery who wanted to give him a ride as he thought, Tang Fang couldn't help but have a better impression of these people in the Northern Union Army. If Montgomery was a jealous villain, how could Stilwell and Grant unite around him.
"Report." Just when Montgomery had an expression of doing something wrong and was cautiously accompanying the female conscript, a liaison officer walked outside the door, and after seeing the three of Tang Fang, he looked a little hesitant.
"Say, there's no outsiders here." Montgomery said casually, in a very calm tone.
"Yes, from the northern part of Mondstadt to behind enemy lines, the second group of troops in charge of disruptive operations came with news that the 508th Division of the government army had withdrawn. In addition, the reconnaissance scouts sent to the northwest also received a message, and the 408th Division also turned westward and took up a position on the southern edge of the Diromos Plateau. ”
The 508th Division retreated, and the 408th Division turned around, which meant that the crisis in the Makanda Arsenal was completely lifted. Stilwell, Grant, Schunette and others looked at Tang Fang with stunned faces one by one, but they didn't expect him to be right.
Tang Fang smiled and said nothing, only he knew the true situation of the battle on the sea. The submarine and ship mixed formation team led by Nakamura Ninji did not even see the face of the opponent, and they were all wiped out, and there was not a single living mouth left.
The power to be able to swallow an entire mixed wing in just ten minutes, even with bones and skin, is chilling just to think about. What's even more strange is that the first and second fleets of the rebel army in the North Sea were dragged to death in the North Sea area, and there was no possibility of going south at all, so where did this force that could wipe out all the submarines and ships come from?
In the face of an unknown and powerful enemy, think about it with your ass, you know the next reaction of the government army, and withdraw the 508 and 408 divisions to avoid aggravated losses, which is the best way to deal with it.
"What about the casualties in the second group?" As a teenager, Montgomery came to his senses. Turning his head and asking. Originally, the task of the second group was to attack the logistics supply line of the 408th Division, but later, in order to buy time for Stilwell and others to rescue the command system. This force of 1,500 people launched an interception without hesitation.
The liaison officer sighed and said with a sad face: "More than half of the casualties are killed. ”
Montgomery's teeth clenched, and his hands turned white: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" ”
Grant took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Colonel, please be sensible, what you need now is not to blame yourself, but to arrange the next combat mission." ”
"Yes, you can see it. In this blitzkrieg operation, the enemy has made a lot of careful deployment in advance, and the responsibility is not all on you. Stilwell and others also persuaded from the side.
Unleashed the smoke screen of the "Heavy Warriors" to confuse the rebels, taking advantage of the miners' rebellion on the Diromos Plateau in the northwest, and using the city of Mondstadt as a bait in the east. This was in exchange for the success of the Sea Falcon Commando Blitz.
This series of layouts, I'm afraid Aldrich even used the strength to eat, unless it was the roundworm in the old guy's stomach, otherwise, no matter how clever the commander was, it was impossible to see through it.
"Whew......" Montgomery exhaled turbid air in his lungs and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Immediately send a troop convoy to meet the second group." ”
"Yes."
"Send scouts in the direction of the retreat of the 408th and 508th divisions. Make sure your enemy's every move is under our control. ”
"Yes."
"Are there any reconnaissance vehicles?"
The liaison officer looked at the information on the PDA and replied: "The AWACS aircraft were all shot down by the enemy's ship-to-air missiles in the engagement just now, but there are still several reconnaissance drones in the warehouse that can be used." ”
"Okay, dispatch all drones and form an aerial reconnaissance network along the north and south coasts of the Rut-Inland Sea." After speaking. He remembered something and asked, "What about a group?" How about a group? ”
"A group of troops is unhindered and has already captured the air terminal north of the Sala Salt Field."
"And what about the special forces that went to the air base on the Diromos plateau to support the miners' uprising?"
"I received a report ten minutes ago, and it was normal, and I was able to reach the target location in another hour."
"It's fine." Montgomery nodded: "Order a group of troops to stay in place and strengthen the surveillance of the 408th Division's station." As soon as there is a situation, the troops on the Diromos plateau are immediately notified. In addition, inform all the departments stationed in the arsenal to remove all the important early warning posts, and rest for a good night. ”
"Yes." The liaison officer agreed, and withdrew with the PDA in his hand.
Seeing that Montgomery had finished handling military affairs, Tang Fang cleared his throat and slowly explained the purpose of his trip.
It should have been known from Stilwell and others that Montgomery did not express too much surprise, and when he finished speaking, he said with some embarrassment: "The matter of the space shuttle is a trivial matter, not to mention that you saved the lives of all the soldiers of the entire Northern Union Army, even if you didn't, with General Marion's temperament, he would definitely not refuse." ”
"It's just ......," he waved behind his back. A guard walked over with a holographic projection device, placed it on the table in front of several people, and casually pressed the power switch.
The indicator light turned on, and with the blue light flashing, a geographical topographic map of the northern hemisphere of Crotan appeared in the air.
Montgomery pointed to the northern coast of Root Bay and said, "If you want to fly out of Crotan and get out of it safely under the warp jump jamming network with Harto Star Harbor as the core of defense, you must go to the missile base on the Arctic continent of Thor. Because only with the help of General Marion will you be able to break through the space defenses of Crotan without even noticing. ”
"To get to the Arctic continent, you have to pass through the North Sea, as well as part of the East China Sea." Speaking of which, Montgomery casually showed that most of the East China Sea, a small part of the North Sea, and even the waters around the Toll continent appeared densely with countless small red dots, forming a large net, enveloping a large part of the sea area of the Northern Hemisphere.
"Every little red dot here represents a mobile unmanned water turret of the government army. These unmanned defense turrets on the water have the functions of sea attack, mine-laying, scanning, air defense and other functions, and are the core force of the government army in the sea blockade war. It was precisely because of them that the First and Second Fleets of the rebel army in the North Sea were firmly suppressed in the narrow sea area between the military port of Drosnir in the northern part of the Odin continent and the karst military port of the Thor continent, and could not be transferred to other places. ”
"If you rush to the North Pole by flying aircraft, you will inevitably be discovered by these unmanned turrets, and then shot down and fall into the sea. It is also unsafe to choose an underwater route, not to mention the submarines that patrol around the seabed, even those that can cruise with self-controlled mines, which are enough for us to drink a pot. ”
Tang Fang looked at the projection map and was silent, from Lut Bay to the Toll Continent, the distance from north to south is thousands of kilometers, if you ride the euglena to take the underwater route, the speed is too slow, and the second is the danger of hitting mines. If the carrying capacity of the king worm chooses the air route, the flight speed is enough, but it is easy to detect, intercept, and make enemies with these moving sea-based unmanned turrets, or even a whole ocean fleet, it is still too early for him.
Of course, concealment is not impossible, and the illusion skill of the mechanical sentry can play a role in confusing the enemy's line of sight. However, due to the energy limitations of the sentry, it is obvious that it cannot be hidden forever, and sooner or later it will be captured by the high-powered optical camera of the sea-based unmanned turret, and then a large number of enemy troops will be ushered in.
What's more, these units should not be exposed in front of people, and it is best to go to the Tor continent to be led by Montgomery's henchmen to avoid causing unnecessary trouble after arriving at the destination.
After a few thoughts in his heart, Tang Fang glanced up at Montgomery, and found that he was looking at him calmly, and then smiled slightly: "Colonel, you must already have a passage plan, so don't sell it." ”
