Tianluo plate, 600 meters below the dungeon, central independent area, private circular pond garden.

Senator Speaker Bei Xuming was sitting on the sofa, while Bei He Lu was sitting in his second seat, which was the seat between the elders and the juniors. Bei Xuan Ming opened the interfaces in front of him.

The above is the technical and military information of the Burning Wheel Alliance.

As for the system and program of the Burning Wheel organization, those things that "fool and fool together", the chairman of the Senate, who has a very strong practical mind, is not interested in understanding.

Bei Shuming tapped his finger on the screen, and couldn't help but comment on Bei He Lu: "They want to fill all the leyline cracks, they have quite an idea." ”

Bei Helu said: "Chief Executive, 'resource extraction' and 'harmless treatment of leyline energy' are the areas they are good at. ”

Bei Shuming heard the intention of Bei He Lu's words, couldn't help but smile, and asked rhetorically: "It seems that you don't approve of the burning wheel intervening in the war. ”

Bei Helu: "I just think that letting Ranlun intervene in this war may make the situation more complicated. ”

Bei Shuming smiled. In his opinion, Bei He Lu is quite worried about his friend in the burning wheel (Zhou You).

However, in Bei Xuming's view, the burning wheel has reached the point where it must be controlled. -- Ranlun has "copied" a large number of the Federation's science and technology, and has completed a relatively complete military system.

Now in the vast ocean plate, the remnants of titanium steel are entrenched in a barren land.

If the burning wheel succeeds, the North Sweep Mingquan will take it as an investment and officially incorporate the burning wheel into his camp. And if the Burning Wheel military fails, then it is better to put pressure on the Burning Wheel and calculate the matter of "free trade of mechanical dolls".

Bei Zhuoming exhorted Bei He Lu: "Whether we win or lose, we will grasp the situation." ”

……

On the southeast side of the hanging island, the base of the East China Sea of Ranlun.

A huge mechanical structure is rising from the ground, and with the entrance to the ground, the mechanical pipe emerges like a plant, and a large number of parts in the pipe are sent out to assemble and weld on the surface. In just half an hour, a turret was assembled and formed.

The mechanical tentacles responsible for the construction of the turret have shrunk back from the pipes that are now the base of the turret.

These construction tentacles, when leaving, do not forget to weld the covers of those pipes.

It was as if the entire battery had appeared as if it had been airborne, and there was no trace of road transport around it.

Outside the main base, after Lu Boya made sure that this mechanical turret was operating normally, he said with a little smugness: "I have an advanced construction method of burning the wheel!" ”

After calibrating the ground level, the engineering team of the fire turbine directly derived the underground pipeline system to transport cement, metal parts and building materials, and placed the building on the surface.

As Bei Helu said, Ranlun is good at infrastructure technology.

Every year, a large number of underground pipeline systems are maintained in the earthquake area, transporting electricity and materials.

[Sub-civilizations always praise science and technology as "making people convenient", but higher civilizations evaluate a technology as "making people liberating."] ”

Liberation is "handing over repetitive and simple tasks to tools", while humans focus on more difficult tasks.

And the concept of "technology makes people convenient" makes it easy for people to really regard "convenience" as the purpose of developing science and technology. In fact, in a higher civilization, the more science and technology develop, the more troublesome the work faced by human beings. Nationalities that really pay attention to enjoying the "convenience" of science and technology will eventually stagnate. 】

On Fangxing, the key direction of science and technology of Burning Wheel has been different from that of the Federation.

Ranlun has always been more adept at building sprawling facilities (spectacles) than obsessing with prioritizing intelligent automation, as the Federation does. - Some projects that cannot be automated and require a large number of engineers to be surveyed will be passed by the Federation directly because of "insufficient funds" (mainly insufficient number of engineers).

At present, the power grid of the gas turbine is the most representative business card of its own industry.

At present, this power grid has been densely covered with various large crack areas.

Under the strata, the originally unstable magma reservoir was contained, and the molten salt buffer layers were arranged. With a large number of backups, the risk of the power grid being disrupted by natural disasters is greatly reduced.

All power grids are three hundred meters underground, and the builders drive into the underground electronic control station through a shaft, and control the generator sets by controlling the bulkhead robots.

Now, with the acquiescence of the Federation, the Burning Turbine has extended the power grid that was originally in the cracked area towards the stable formation of the Scale Mound. A large number of workers are driving 1,000-ton machinery to drill wells into the ground, trying to complete the underground loop control.

……

And at the front command post. Sixty-three bases of the Burning Wheel have been moved to the front, and a large number of armored dragons have expanded the barrier layer left by the Federation to their side.

In Command No. 34, the hall is showing the territory that the Burning Wheel is now taking over.

The entire dark basalt mountainous area, the area of the scale mounds, with a total area of 1.8 million square kilometers, has now been divided into 1,687 hexagonal grid areas. And this map shows that the grid of the burning wheel is in the outermost circle.

In the information command vehicle, Lu Boya removed the war zone observation information from the eyepiece, she raised her hand and pointed at it, and many small red patches appeared on the hexagonal grid like herpes.

Lu Boya turned his head and replied to the summoned Rose Blade: "According to the information code you provided, we have preliminarily verified that the temporary gathering point may be in these areas within the past five hours. ”

Rose Blade's eyes staring at the screen flashed with great hatred, but he still restrained his emotions and nodded, "Yes, it's ...... Those infantry battalions, when they encounter information, will definitely do that kind of feedback! ”

Lu Boya glanced at Rose Blade, nodded with a cold expression, and then beckoned her to go down.

Five minutes later, Lu Boya connected to the military communication network of the Burning Wheel, and in the virtual military combat hall, the person in charge of the Burning Wheel of the global plate was already waiting for her.

Lu Boya introduced the basic situation on the sand table.

Classes: Rows of equipment diagrams, from the sky to the sea, are full of textures.

But obviously, the complexity of the troops of the burning wheel is not as complex as that of the Federation.

How to use weapons that are half a generation behind the Federation to win the next war? This is a challenge for Ranlun.

The rest of the meeting was given to the celestial tour.

Facing the eyes of everyone in the venue.

Zeyou couldn't help but recall that 40,000 years ago, Jun Zhuxing (himself) in the core area of the Bell Civilization - as a graduate of the Celestial Tower Academy, competed with the elites at the top of the Holy Lance at that time, and was also expected by hopeful beings.

Zhou You: "After the general staff's tactical estimate, we will have casualties in this war, but we will definitely be able to win this battle." Because, we fight for principles, and everyone we fight is a person who thinks independently. And not machines. ”

……

War is the most complex organizational action in human society. Sometimes it's not just about the number of people and firepower, but also the level of advanced weapons. It is even more necessary to see whether all the subjective initiative of the Corps is developed in the organizational system.

Under complex terrain, when it is difficult for the upper layers to verify the information of the lower levels, the coordination ability of the Corps organization is particularly tested.

Fatal problems arise when the soldier's initiative is absent and slightly neglected in the context of war.

When the Federation stopped fighting from the Scales Hill and a large number of heavy equipment was evacuated, the Burning Wheel took over the battle, but did not immediately drive the army in.

The major commanders of the Federation are puzzled, what is the Burning Wheel Group's action of dragging on and not fighting, allowing 'titanium steel to breathe in the area'?

The subsequent major project of the burning wheel made them even more inexplicable:

150,000 heavy Gu beast excavators and 4,000 greedy dragon transport vehicles began to transport earth cubes on a large scale, completing the construction of a canal channel. When the canal was opened, water from a salt sea near the area was discharged directly into a large gently sloping area.

And the next thing, the outside world seems to understand.

As the monsoon breeze blows across this large man-made surface, the excess water vapor evaporates upwind of the Scales Land.

After that, the burning wheel dropped a large number of condensation nucleus rain bombs in the direction of the scale mound every day. For the next month, three or four milliliters of precipitation fell every day.

This precipitation was not much, but it caused the humidity in the ravines of the Scaly Hills to increase dramatically.

And it is this weak climate change that has allowed a tenacious moss on this planet to seize life. Then the rockery began to grow: the moss was black, but at night it fluoresced due to the decomposition of sulfur compounds.

[Tracking, is the basic skill of human beings just entering the tribal era, when it snows in winter, hunters will follow the footprints of the prey to remove the prey's nest. And now the moss has become something that shows traces. 】

When it was determined that the moss had grown to a certain extent, the scouts sent by the Burning Wheel also began to find out what was going on behind enemy lines in the Scaly Mound.

October 7th.

The first wave of the Burning Wheel campaign began. With nearly 30,000 troops (human non-commissioned officers), a large number of sickle mechs and Demolition Bee unmanned fighters, they cut into several key roads in the Scales Hill area.

After waiting for two months, the military observers of the Federation finally saw the hot war and cheered up.

But these observers saw the offensive line of the burning wheel, and they were not optimistic at first. Because the Federation had also sent troops on a large scale to conduct regular warfare, it ended up in the dilemma of law and order warfare.

But it soon became clear to the military observers that something was wrong.

The assault of the burning wheel, interspersed with a very fast speed.

Ballistic missiles blew up hills one by one. In particular, those large ground-penetrating bombs drilled directly into the mountain, and the thermobaric warhead exploded in the tunnel, destroying the entire tunnel body in an instant.

The hill where the "Stone Talking Army" was located, which caused great confusion to the Federation, was cleared one by one, and then quickly seized by the corps that rushed to the burning wheel.

On the offensive line of the burning wheel, the line of troops inserted into the various defense lines with teeth and claws, and first cut off the connection between the main forces of the Titanium Steel Divine Society and the rear. Then surround them, and draw on-board fire to eat them one by one. This kind of eating on the map is not eaten one by one, but one by one.

[As long as the speed of the large corps is flexible and interspersed fast enough, titanium steel will not have time to cut the road lines in the small and medium-sized organization of troops in the mountains. - The safest area on the battlefield is often the area that has just been bombed by your own artillery, and the safest strategically is to follow closely behind the assault corps.

In the area, the Titanium Steel Divine Society, which had originally won the regular army of the Federation, was caught off guard, and all the 140 barracks on the front were taken down in this large-scale regular battle. Fourteen important strongholds with a large number of priests and mechanical maintenance instructors were also raided.

The attack of the burning wheel was so rapid that the personnel of Titanium Steel did not have time to retreat at all, and the rear road was outflanked. The Federation has been fighting for several months, and although there are a lot of wrecks annihilated in the Great War, it has not yet achieved this kind of elimination of the titanium steel.

[Light infantry groups are fighting on a large scale in the mountains, and the infantry's individual marksmanship is secondary, and the ability to feedback information is necessary. For example, it can flexibly detect the front, and then guide the artillery to quickly pull out the stronghold; Another example is that after the machine gun is suppressed, the department operating the drone in the rear immediately inserts the bombing. And this is the organizational strength of the Corps. - The robot puppet plays an online game of more than a dozen people, while the Burning Wheel is a linkage system of more than 300 people cooperating with artillery, drones, and front-line infantry. 】

The red front of the Burning Wheel completed the first phase of the operation in six days, shrinking the territory of titanium steel by a third.

The Burning Wheel that took this area cost 237 dead and 1,448 wounded, annihilated 48,000 titanium steel robots, and captured 3,241 relatively important people.

Federal military experts have all given positive comments on such results, but no one remains optimistic, and they all believe that the next moment of truth is coming.

But then, to the surprise of the experts, the kind of cat-catching situation that had caused the Federation a headache in the ravine did not happen.

Because the first phase of the plan drawn up by the general staff of the sea tour was to stop at a series of high grounds.

These highlands have a good view of the surroundings. As long as an outpost is arranged, any movement on the surrounding hillside can be seen.

The titanium steel, which was blinded at the beginning, wanted to fight back, but it couldn't bypass this highland defense line.

In the past, when the Titanium Steel God Society and the Federation fought in the Scales Mound area, there was no such situation where the highlands were connected and formed a large net.

The federal mechanical puppets are too weak in the organization of the large corps in the scale mound, so the high ground they occupy is all lonely land, which is easy to be interspersed, blocked, and cut by titanium steel.

However, the high ground occupied by the burning wheel is all connected in a line. Titanium Steel was caught off guard by the burning wheel, and after coming back to his senses. The front is impermeable, and you find that you must gnaw on the next mountain.

……

On October 14th, three days after the first wave of the Burning Wheel attack stopped.

The Titanium Steel God Society launched a counterattack, frequently using hundred-level mechanical puppets to carry out high-intensity attacks on the various highlands of the Burning Wheel, in an attempt to take the high ground by relying on the consumption of troops at any cost.

It's not that they don't want to organize a larger single attack, it's just that the terrain is inferior, and they can't deploy artillery and more mechanical commandos above the regimental level.

In such frequent wars of harassment, they launched nearly 3,000 wars, focusing on the 27 heights. As a result, the mobile mortar with the wheels in the rear, every rapid-fire fire covered, bankrupted the attempt of titanium steel.

The burning wheels rotated infantry battalions on the hilltops, with very few casualties. Even mechanical soldiers like scythes have a nearly one-to-ten exchange ratio with the other side.

The titanium steel did not hit a single high ground, and as a result, the combustion wheel carried out reverse osmosis at several other points in the process.

For example, October 17 at 3:30 a.m.

Scouts from the 4th Battalion of the 53rd Brigade of the Burning Wheel found the three transport tunnels of titanium steel, and then dropped the spider-shaped crawling smoke bombs. Then he called the helicopter to come up and strafe it, so that the attack of 3,000 people on the 60 square kilometers of the titanium steel front line was directly stranded, and there was no way to advance or retreat.

Also at 7:42 p.m. on the 17th, the four-legged artillery position of titanium steel was moving along ridge No. 234; It was also discovered by the scouts, and a wave of high-altitude drone strafing directly caused it to roll into the valley and turn into burning scrap metal.

At 4 a.m. on the 8th, three titanium steel transport planes were shot down.

……

The reason why the Burning Wheel Scout has succeeded repeatedly is still the 'green' moss. (To be exact, a good non-commissioned officer observes every grass and tree.) ）

The titanium steel mechanical puppet focuses on the improvement of combat effectiveness, and unnecessary common sense is lost as the brain is sliced. As a result, in this mountainous area, the titanium steel mountain corps, which was originally 'well hidden' under the federal reconnaissance system, is now caught in a large number of clues in Ranlun.

When the high-altitude bombers swept by, every wave of cloud burst flames rose, representing the reimbursement of a large number of mechanical dogs' baggage team; And every time a shotgun blasts out a cloud of debris and smoke, it means that the lurking point of a regiment has been wiped out.

The attack is like a flood that bursts the embankment, and the defense is condescending and rock-solid.

The Burning Wheel battle was fought very easily. Behind the highland line, the supply line quickly stabilized.

On October 20, supplies for the second wave of the Burning Steamer offensive had already reached the front line.

The scouts surveyed deeper hilly areas and gained a preliminary understanding of the deployment of the Titanium Steel Divine Society in deeper areas.

And so the second wave of the offensive began.

In the opening scene, tanks and planes quickly penetrated the main road, and then the corps followed and outflanked. Draw a large number of artillery shells, bombard the fortified hills, and occupy them.

As the mountains were blown up to the ground, the control area behind the second line of defense of the titanium steel inner ring was shattered again.
