November 11, 110, on the birthday of the Scarab Nation.

Jue Hotaru led his troops south in person. The swarm of 200,000 troops set off again. On the way south, he also canonized a series of names of generals such as Genghe. And it was given in the canonization document that the previous emperor did not promise the second prince various conditions of autonomy.

And for the second prince who was the target of the crusade, he was also given quite generous surrender conditions: allowed to retain the fief, as well as the treatment of the prince's specifications.

For these princes in the south, however, these conditions were very tempting in the past. But now these political promises are demanding that many forces in the south sever ties with the Burning Wheel.

For a time, these statements of the Holy Horn Capital sank into the sea in the south, and the majesty of the central imperial power was greatly damaged.

But Ju Hotaru didn't expect to be able to pass it on, otherwise she wouldn't have brought so many corps.

The statement towards the south is intended to disturb the unity within the southern land bridge.

As for the great loss of central imperial power? All the canonization documents were issued in the name of the Emperor of the Holy Horn, and it is not certain when this puppet will be deposed. Now it's used as a butt rubbing paper. As long as he can win the world, Jue Hotaru will establish authority with himself as the core.

This purpose of the Strategy Department of the Blue Swarm Center has indeed been achieved.

The contradictions on the southern land bridge were provoked again, and the tension between the generals and the second brother once again returned to a state of tension.

After all, they are all feudal forces, and their ability to distribute fairly is extremely poor. The benefits given to them by the burning wheel, within them, some people get big profits, and some people don't get any benefits at all. So as long as there is a little provocation from the outside, there are a lot of noises inside both the second prince and Genghe.

In fact, the second prince and Genghe and the series of princes themselves are the grass on the wall, and now there is chaos, but it is just an upward and downward effect.

……

Creek Harbor.

After getting the information, Zhou You said helplessly (in fact, skin, oil): "So, this time they were involved in the war by me?" "Zeuyou's eyes couldn't help but look at '??' The central land bridge of the continent.

The Burning Wheel Alliance is using its economic influence to glue together the forces here. However, this economic influence is slow, and it often takes about a decade for the surrounding forces to completely form economic dependence, and the comprador forces within it to completely crowd out the old faction.

Now, the war had to be fought.

Especially after Genghe's letter of help arrived at the headquarters of Ranlun, if he did not agree, Genghe would unconditionally swallow all the economic support of Ranlun.

So, Zhou You was quite annoyed (in fact, it was the excitement of meeting a decent opponent) and hammered his knee: "It's really a move, a chess that I can't advance or retreat!" ”

Actually, it was almost when Ju Hotaru made the decision to go south.

The war machinery on the land bridge was activated. - The sixth prince passed the news very slippery.

A lightly armed mechanized unit was also directly deployed to the key part near the Genghe territory, guarding against the two or five boys of this cargo. At the same time, the sea transport team began to deploy the corps forward, ready to face the front.

Of course, Jue Hotaru took the initiative to arch in front, and Zhou You naturally would not give up the opportunity to exert force on its back door.

……

The strategic perspective comes to the '??', the northeastern defense line, which spans 3,400 kilometers from the land bridge to the south.

After the landing of the Hokuriku Expeditionary Force, it was originally planned to hold on to key points and at the same time consolidate the logistics line in the occupied area.

The three commanders of the Burning Wheel Alliance, Suxi, Gongti, and Jiagu, established a mechanical base on the northeastern continent.

The three commanders have different Linlong bases.

The offensive base, with a large number of Celestial Heavy Tanks and Mammoth Cannons, is an absolute offensive force on land.

A defensive base with a large number of engineering vehicles and road construction troops. Pillboxes can be quickly built, light-loaded steel rail railways can be laid on the ground, and light-armed motorized troops and patrol troops can be the mainstay.

Support bases, which are bases in the zone of absolute safety in the rear. With a huge fire support force composed of 16 Valkyrie mechanical dragons and 248 Fire Eagle bombers, the ground forces are mainly anti-aircraft tracked vehicles modified from armored tanks and ballistic missile launch corps.

This classification of bases is definitely not from the instructions of the Celestial Tour. I don't know why the students below are like this, and they begin to choose to specialize in combat missions.

Who did this? Someone in the south who is expanding mining in the cheese landscape feels that the sky in the south is bluer than in the north.

Regarding the exploration of the world itself, even if it is wrong, the sea tour will not forcibly change. But in order to prevent it from making a big mistake, Zeyo has made a patch.

This patch is to arrange a general strategic commander of the north to coordinate the offensive in the north, and the three in front must listen to the opinion of this commander-in-chief.

……

On a ship in the rippling blue waves, inside the armor layer of the metal dome of a dreadnought.

The commander of the Northern Expedition is communicating with the Celestial Tour.

In the captain's room, in front of the screen held up by the stainless steel stand, Bu Meng saluted the celestial tour and then reported to work.

On this map, the deployment of friend and foe for 20 minutes was introduced.

Zhou You praised on the interface: "Well, it's good, the strategy in the previous stage is steady and steady, and it's very good." But in the next stage, you fine-tune it. ”

Zhou You pointed to the southern part of the map on the table here: "The Empress of the Northern Swarm has personally set out to fight, if nothing else, the main force will move south." You can move over there, of course, don't rush, try first. The specifics will wait for the scale of the fighting in the south to be determined, and then you will do it. Now get ready and determine how big the hole is on the other side, and you can poke me as big as you want. ”

[Actually, now on the side of Ranlun, I have obtained some relevant information through the regent's side. After being beaten in the north, I still don't have a long memory. But the reputation of the Sixth Prince has always been bad. The requirements of the general staff must be steady, and external intelligence is only used for reference, and more plans and preparations should be made, but it must not be used as a decision. 】

Bu Meng looked at the situation in the south and thought for a while, and put forward conditions for Zhou You: "Commander, in this case, I need more carrying traffic. Only then can ammunition be delivered to the front line. Of course, the more engineering staff, the better. ”

On the screen, Zhou You stood in front of the sand table, saw Bu Meng's request, and smiled slightly: "Oh, it seems that you also want to conduct a big battle." ”

Bumeng: "If the situation is correct for the Empress of the Swarm to go south, this is a rare opportunity. The scale of the campaign launched by our side must be large. ”

Zhou You half-joked: "It's just, you're so ruthless, aren't you worried that she will retaliate against you when she turns around?" ”

Bu Meng shook his head stiffly: "No, Commander, she will give priority to revenge on you." The finger of the Cloth Union pointed to the confrontation on the northern shore of the Mediterranean.

This honest man's serious joke is particularly interesting.

Zhou You smiled, waved his hand, and nodded at the same time: "Okay, I will replenish the logistics truck for you in a week." Good luck with you. ”

……

In mechanized warfare.

Carrier trucks are more important and considerable to commanders than tanks.

The Greedy Dragon class heavy tank has a total length of 25 meters, a height of 7 meters, a width of 15 meters, a dead weight of 210 tons, and a load of 500 tons.

The whole body of the car is a huge block. Internally, the cargo is held in place by a mechanical card slot. The energy used is electropower, that is, the lithium battery cell tissue collected from the Linlong Gu worm. This tissue, which is firmly hidden in a steel plate.

In other words, because the electric drive is not very effective, the load of this monster is limited to between 100 tons and 200 tons in complex road conditions.

On the docks in the north, 500 of these treasures were urgently transported to the Bumeng, providing logistical support for the great offensive in the north.

On December 18th, when the swarm of fireflies was still on the land bridge, they were marching in tandem with the gunboats at sea, and they were in a frontal position.

Sitting in the floating artillery city in the eastern Mediterranean, he looked helplessly at the land bridge map and sighed: "It's too slow, too slow." "Then I pressed the command confirmation button of 'Northeast Coastline Frontal Shelling Feint against Gu Worms'.

One artillery city after another unified towards the northern coastline, and the huge cannon barrels began to bombard the opposite shore. At the same time, more than a thousand landing ships began to land in the locust city of the Flying Locust family. This move nailed the main force of the blue Gu worm in the northeast direction to the spot. So much so that "no excuse" went north to rescue. - You heard it right, it's "no excuses".

The commander of the Blue Gu Worm stationed on the northeast coastline of 'Woo' was a new-school officer promoted by Jue Ying from the imperial capital, and the northern one was the first "conservative" faction officer to follow Jue Ying.

Since then, the coastline has been "booming", one vertical on the left, one horizontal on the top, and '??' In the upper corner of the continent, the war started at the same time. - Zhou You: "You come south, come and poke me, I'll poke you twice." And poke faster than you. ”

……

The artillery bombardment of the northeast coastline is not unmajestic, but a feint is a feint, and there is no plan for the annihilation of a large corps here.

The main campaign, in the north.

The earth was hardened by the north winds. The tracks and steel wheels ran over the ground, setting off a thick layer of frost.

The opening of the war was played by the Victory 300 ballistic missiles.

With a range of 400 km, they became the advance force of the first wave to strike at enemy targets. Within 300 kilometers of the assault of the entire mechanized unit, military targets were torn apart by 500 kilograms of warheads.

Forty-meter-tall mushroom clouds rose up within a second of the bombardment, like brooms, flying fragments, sand, and stones.

The flash of the explosion reflected off the smooth back of the Gu worm in a large area. Then the artillery multi-dropped bombs in the reflection.

With such a scale of artillery, the human army would have collapsed long ago, but the Gu worms are 'braver' than humans, and they will not run around in the bombardment. Even though the bombing caused terrible shaking on the ground, and some Gu worms were directly overturned, at the edge of the explosion area, the previous neat queue was still maintained.

It's just that after a few minutes, these formations will lose their schedule, and the march and charge will become scattered.

The number of Victory 300 missiles in the first wave exceeded three hundred, and the frequency of strikes was like a rain of missiles. But in terms of usage, it is completely different from the situation of shells washing the ground on the coastline, and this is a very targeted strike.

One of the important military formations is that all ballistic missiles are under the direct command of the Burundi League. That is, after the General Staff Headquarters has determined the situation, it will strike at key targets one by one in order, instead of leaving the launch rights below and indiscriminately bombing the forward theater.

As for scrubbing!

The mechanized troops began to raid, and the three assault divisions of 93 Tianqi Heavy Tan, 320 Scaly Ox tanks, covering more than 1,000 machine gun tracked vehicles and infantry Gu transporters, began to arrive at the battlefield and dump shells against the enemy's chaotic front line.

Four mammoth cannons, huge bodies crashing on the horizon, their 210 mm double-barreled cannons, spewing fire alternately at a rate of thirty seconds per shot.

The swarm that tried to resist in front was directly blasted out of a corpse belt.

Then these swarms of insects that were blown up were confronted by the black hole cannon ports of the Tianqi Heavy Tank and the Scaly Ox tanks, as well as the machine guns that were strafed by the infantry tanks after the main battle tanks kicked up smoke and dust.

……

Judging by the strategic map, in one day, the mechanized troops made three seventy-kilometer pincer cuts.

Like the previous series of battles, it is again a pincer (can you change it?). Of course it can't be changed, it's textbook-like use. In other words, it is okay, such as great depth? ）。

And in the center of this pincer was the Blue Gu Worm Group Army, which numbered from 30,000 to 50,000.

The 30,000 megalodons and motorcycles of the Burning Wheel Group were immediately arranged on these cut defense lines, and an encirclement was formed one by one to hinder the assault of the swarm.

After the initial formation of this encirclement, the mechanized troops cut again and again, like a game of cutting fruit with a mobile phone, dividing the huge insect swarm into pieces, rushing the large clusters into small strands, and turning the small strands into small wisps, and the small strands were finally annihilated.

December 27, 34 hours after the war.

On the east side of the clamp dividing circle.

Jue Ying went south into Shanquan Pass, and the first fierce general to rush into the territory of the Five Princes, the giant sickle, with a small group of 5,000, was compressed in a narrow area of 47 square kilometers. Several breakouts were met with the rapid response of the burning wheel artillery. -- The three artillery battalions of Ranlun are veterans, and after getting the situation on the front line, they can complete the adjustment of the dimensions within five minutes and cover the firepower of the coordinate area.

After consuming all his forces, the general chose to commit suicide in desperation with his mouth and hands + grenades. The Gu worm's body is only partially stumped.

A few hours later, Su Xi arrived at the battlefield by car, looked at the insect-like body of the nobleman, and with mechanical armor, he patted his palm on the accompanying mechanical vehicle, signaling the personnel to collect the general's body.

Whatever one may say, the general completed loyalty.

……

There are fierce enemies, and there are soft enemies.

When the entire Legion collapsed, the brainless Gu worms chose to continue fighting, but the humans would not.

After the other generals saw that the situation had completely collapsed, these human officers on the Desperate Side chose to surrender. Since then, the 130,000-strong integrated group army in the northeastern mainland has been completely annihilated.

The news reached the capital of Giant Horn, and then to the hands of the Absolute Firefly, who was heading south to prepare for the first wave of the big attack.

The whole world is speechless for such a decisive battle of the Burning Wheel Group, and of course for the incompetence of the insect swarm general in the north of the firefly. In the face of the big gap that the burning wheel suddenly created in the north, the starting line shirked each other's responsibilities.

Blue Gu worms, in the base of the Gu nest.

Jue Hotatsu's face was gloomy and terrifying, she had expected that the Northern Legion would not be able to withstand the situation, but she really didn't expect that the movement of the burning wheel would be so fast. The Gu Nest Corps with a scale of more than 100,000 (about 300,000 tons of combat strength) couldn't even hold out for half a month.

In other words, this is the first time that the Burning Wheel Alliance under the command of Zhou You has fought a military war of annihilation with fewer victories?

This is not a problem that can be explained by weapons and equipment, the huge amount of Gu worm swarms is a deterrent to the mechanized troops of the Burning Wheel Alliance. It's not because of the divine power, the sky tour is not in the Northeast Continent at all. The information is exactly known that when the 22nd was on the 22nd, it also appeared in Huangyi City on the northern coastline.

No matter how stubborn she is, she can't help but start to suspect that it is due to some social reasons.

……

The grassroots troops on both sides are all Gu worms, and they are not afraid of death, but in terms of officers above the company level, the various families on the mainland are basically squire knights, and among the officers of more than 1,000 scales, there are a large number of children of great nobles under Jue Ying.

On the other hand, the Burning Wheel Alliance is an organization for military cadets, regardless of whether they are high or low, based on their achievements, and their grades are good or bad.

As a result, the Golden Beetle Nobles are directly Divine F2 up, for the glory of your lords.

Under the promotion system, tanks, infantry, heavy artillery, air force, missiles, and every military function have been developed to the maximum.

On front-line tactics.

Tanks only hit heavily armored units, combat vehicles form a strafing barrage to harvest a 1,000-meter target, heavy artillery bombards an area 10 kilometers away from the enemy every time, and missiles bombard important nodes on the eve of a major battle.

It will never happen, tank guns are stabbed in the ass by lightly armed infantry, armored vehicles shell small caliber artillery to defend hard ravines, missiles bombard tents, and light mecha regiments fight giant beasts.

The gap between the Absolute Firefly Corps and the Burning Wheel Corps is equivalent to the Soviet Army that was purged in the early days of the German Three Strikes.

The military class, which is not ——,, is no match for the Soviet army. After the purge of the Soviet army, but the modern military system is still there, and the soldiers who survive the war will automatically select a large number of excellent non-commissioned officers, and this side is feudal! Now it's fatal, and the next thing is going to be fatal.

……

On December 28th.

The Burning Ship has completed the first phase of the annihilation operation to the north.

As for the next stage, it will depend on the speed of recovery of logistical capabilities.

Now the next task is for the Air Force and ground motorcycle units to sweep away small-scale insect swarms on a large scale and reduce blind spots on their own logistics lines.

Even if the commander of the swarm knew that the Burning Wheel might not be able to attack in a short time, he would not be able to take the initiative to attack the rear of the Burning Wheel after this battle. However, if he doesn't take the initiative, Ranlun will take the initiative to start a sports security war against them.

This kind of public security warfare is a low-intensity battle for the well-equipped Burning Wheel Northern Army, and a high-intensity operation for the temporary new defense line of the blue-gold Gu worms with chaotic command and sieves everywhere on the logistics roads.

The incompetent lords of the swarm were one step slower in the early stages of the war, and they were subject to others everywhere in the future.

The swarm lords have lost all their baggage, and the logistical pressure in a short period of time is greater than that of the burning wheel. Although it is possible to continue to build troops, a lot of resource gathering is chaotic. The new instructions given to the Bumeng by the Celestial Tour were to hold on to these points (disturbing the mines).

……

Over the next few decades, the Burning Wheel managed to drag the northern swarm into a state of continuous blood loss.

One of the new items has an amazing lethality ratio.

Scene: When the blue-gold swarm, like a wild boar, begins to mine minerals with giant chela and then sift through the metal particles inside, the drone of the burning wheel passes over the sky several times, dropping some colorful metal butterflies. Then the low-level gathering insect swarms in these areas, and even some war insects that wanted to devour the corpses of their companions to restore their carapaces, were also suffering one after another!

This inexplicable battle damage has severely damaged the recovery of the swarm.

The Worm Lords left behind here belong to the old school, and after they take a city, their level is limited to sorting out artisans and then slaughtering the city.

As a result, there is a shortage of competent personnel at their stations.

When these great lords sensed the damage, they were not sure how the Burning Wheel had come to snipe their Gu worms, except for the fact that they were angry at first, and frantically sent worker bees to search for enemies. Later I got used to it, and it didn't even matter.

[At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the same situation was true, most of the hereditary bureaucrats in Mongolia did not know Chinese characters, and all local organizational power was given to officials. Extremely poor in organizational skills. Cao Yun has been repeatedly robbed by horse thieves, and every time the big and small bureaucrats arrive, they collectively play and disappear, well, it is the attitude of "the leader is not at home, this matter is not our responsibility", this is the nomadic social model is too backward, and it is simply not capable of large-scale organization. 】

Of course, even if you replace those more advanced feudal officers over there, there is actually no way, the legion of the burning wheel is a modern legion, and the handling of military affairs is beyond the real era of the Jue Ying.

Even if the insect swarm in the north can quickly identify a kind of butterfly thunder under the wisdom of the wise lord, there are dozens of designs here, and many of them are even sprinkled with pheromones of gold beetles to make the same as gold beetle organs. And this thing only has nothing to do with the swarm of insects that don't waste a little of the same kind of wreckage.

Of course, the old-fashioned generals of the North are real waste, and this is not running.

When the Northern Army of the Cloth Alliance quickly completed the logistics, the swarm under their command could not even consolidate the temporary position, and the entire military defense area was constantly bleeding as if it was lacking immunity.
