February 13, morning.

As Operation Sandwich lasted more than thirty hours, the "Cossack Rangers", who had an inferior military advantage, finally showed signs of fatigue.

Although the rebels' ground combat forces had the upper hand in local battles, it was impossible to hold the front in the face of repeated attacks by an enemy several times their size.

To illustrate this with a very simple example: there is an alley that is wide enough for four people to stand side by side, and as long as these four people stand here, no one else can pass through; However, these four people are bound to get tired after standing for a long time, and it is impossible for them not to eat, drink, or sleep......

At this point, there are two solutions, the first is to find four more people to rotate with them, so that you can ensure that the line is not broken; And the second way is to ...... Let the four retreat, find an alley that is only wide enough for two people to stand side by side, and then rotate in pairs.

The problem for the rebels at the moment is that they cannot choose the "first" solution, because their total number of troops is so much that there is no room for replenishment; Therefore, all they can do is to shrink the line of defense and let those who have fought to the point of exhaustion on the front line to rest and recuperate, so that a rotation mechanism can be established.

Of course, this line of defense theory is not "absolute".

Theories are just theories, and there are many factors that can make or break the tide of a war in a war: a piece of timely intelligence, a lucky bombing, an elite squad, or even a strong enough person...... All have the potential to change the outcome of the entire battle.

After all, the Federation Army is strong, and if the attack is still long, they may ask the FCPS, EF, and even the Guards for help, so that these agencies can send some reinforcements to break the deadlock.

But the rebels ...... That's all there is to it, so it's an impossible game to win.

However, it was not a single act of impulsiveness or reckless suicide.

As an old resistance organization active in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, the leadership of the Cossack Rangers naturally had a lot of experience in struggle, and it was impossible for them to do such a self-defeating thing.

The fundamental purpose of this raid on Blue Shield and Wheat Straw County was not to occupy the cities under the jurisdiction of the Federation for a long time, let alone to fight the Federation forces here - the real intention of the Rangers was to "protect" and "incite".

In a battle of this magnitude, it is impossible to block the relevant information, and even if the Federation can silence the media, the intelligence officers on both sides of the battle and the local people will definitely be able to send the news out.

Other words...... The true combat capabilities of the Federation Army in this battle will be known to all underground organizations around the world.

Even if the Federation Army that came to participate in Operation Sandwich was not the most elite (as we all know, the most elite combat power of the Union Army was concentrated in Crystal County), it was definitely the strength of the "first line".

The Rangers have helped the global resistance groups "probe" a baseline of the Federation's combat power, so that these organizations can be more confident in their future operations.

As for the "incitement" part...... the very fact of "preemptively declaring war on the Federation" is the best incitement.

This is a truth that all careerists understand: if one day, this uprising is won, then ...... Whoever eventually came to power, it will be written in the history books that "it was the Cossack Rangers who fired the first shot of this revolution."

The other rebel groups will not remain indifferent to this, and they all understand that the sooner they intervene, the more initiative they will have when it comes time to divide up the fruits later.

Really......

By the morning of the 13th, just as the Federation Army was slowly beginning to taste the sweetness of the protracted war and began to advance in triumph.

On the other side of Shuangying County, another major change has occurred.

In the largest county in the world, there is also the world's most powerful rebel group, called the "Vladimirovich Never Fall Predator Alliance".

The origins of this organization will not be repeated here, because the full name is a bit awkward, so most people, including their own insiders, refer to it simply as the "Iron Alliance".

On the vast ice fields of Siberia, their secret military strongholds are covered with nets; In almost all cities in Twin Eagle County, there are underground transportation stations.

They are a force that is recognized as a long-term confrontation with the Federation Army, and has been accumulating strength and preparing for it over the years.

In the "Fall of the Nine Prisons" incident, they were also second only to the Cossack Rangers in the benefit, and those prisoners of the Nine Prisons who fled to the east were basically rescued and incorporated by them.

Today, just one day after the Rangers issued a "declaration of uprising", the Predator Alliance sprang into action.

With this move, the Eastern European battlefield, where the "world's largest military conflict" was still taking place yesterday, instantly became a "small and medium-sized armed force friction."

Since Crystal County and Eastern European battlefields have previously drawn troops, the federal military strength of Twin Eagle County itself has been weakened a lot at this stage; The Iron and Blood Alliance took advantage of this opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on the entire territory of Shuangying County.

The rebels are the only ones who can launch a military operation of this magnitude on a piece of land with a total area of about 17.1 million square kilometers on the same day.

Of course, this is already their limit.

Unlike the Cossack Rangers, who had reservations, the Predator League was more of an all-out organization, and instead of looking ahead and regretting it, it was better to attack with all its might and have no regrets.

Their operation has indeed worked wonders.

Because the head of Twin Eagle County had already gone to Crystal County, and most of the bureaucrats below were afraid of being responsible or having a meal on the corpse, when this emergency broke out in the whole county, there was no one at the top to control the situation.

Fortunately, there were still some reliable people in the federal army, and when those officials were running away with their families and soft people on private planes or through other means, it was the mid-level commanders of the federal army in various places who withstood the offensive of the rebels.

Pity...... In the absence of unified directives and coordination from above, these Federation forces were defeated one by one in half a day in the face of the purposeful and well-prepared rebels.

The rapid fall of Twin Eagle County poured a basin of ice water on the top of the federation who originally felt that the situation was not too bad.

And that's not all...... Because it was going very well, the Iron and Blood Alliance felt that they still had a lot of spare strength to use, so at about 3 pm on the 13th, they actually organized a large team to set off from Moscow and go all the way west...... Go to the aid of the Cossack Rangers who are trapped in Wheat Straw.

This action ...... If you want to describe it, it's like a sausage suddenly slanted from the side into a sandwich that is being squeezed, and the scene starts to get out of hand......
