Chapter 74 Chapter 074: Battle Situation
The night had arrived, and after feeling the jubilant atmosphere of the city of Marze, the three of Calais once again embarked on a war-torn journey.
When they returned, the three of them hitchhiled on the armored transport vehicle back to the 17th station, and returned to the station with the person in charge of receiving the station's logistics.
This proposal was made by Julia, and on the way back, she happened to encounter an armored vehicle with the logo of the 17th Division, so she returned with her.
Along the way, feeling the bumpy armored car, Magnolia sighed, it would be more comfortable to ride on Calais's back.
On Calais' back, you can also feel the mountain breeze whistling along the way, and the feeling of speeding through the mountains is like riding a motorcycle that can fly to the sky, which is very refreshing.
And this armored car is far worse than that, it can only go along the rugged mountains along the way, the whole car is covered with explosion-proof armor, impermeable, and there are no windows except for the shooting holes, which is very depressing.
Magnolia didn't like such armored vehicles very much, which made her very depressed.
Back at the station, Magnolia couldn't wait to be the first to jump down, tilt her head to the sky and take a deep breath, feeling the breath of freedom in the outside world.
"Hey, Paris, it's time for you." Magnolia dialed the communication again.
On Magnolia's microcomputer, Paris De's handsome face with a charming smile reappears.
"Yes, our army will arrive in an hour, and it will be an honor for us to be greeted by Her Excellency Magnolia herself."
"Hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Magnolia laughed and scolded, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.
In the evening, the 13th and 14th Divisions of the Third Army came to Maze City and successfully joined the 17th Division.
Elika and Magnolia greeted the commanders of the two divisions and at the same time began the next step of the military operations meeting.
The rudimentary conference room is completely composed of command mechs, which is not very large, but it is very functional. This kind of command mecha is only equipped with divisional and above mechas, which is enough to accommodate a staff headquarters of more than 20 people, 12 computer computers, a huge electronic sand table and a large virtual electronic screen.
At this moment, the conference room gathered Yelika and several division commanders, more than a dozen chief and deputy chiefs of staff, as well as Calais and Apulo.
The occasion was different, and Apulo and Calais, who met again, did not talk much, but their duties were the same.
At this time, Aprolo was not much shocked. When Calais returned with Magnoria, he had already felt Calais's breath, and at that time, Aprolo was already shocked.
This man who entered the miniature wormhole naked, not only was not crushed into cosmic dust, but also successfully rescued Magnolia from the enemy, which is really terrifying.
Although Calais was able to rely on the residual Dao pattern resonance in his body through the wormhole, that was also one of his skills.
Even if Aprolo is not involved, he can know how strong the enemy really is, and he can take people away from the 17th Division through the wormhole and quietly, then he is not idle.
But what he didn't expect was that it was actually two transformers and a transformer of the different level. The most terrible thing was that Calais killed them all.
Even so, for Aprolo, Calais's ability to pass through the wormhole in the flesh was enough for them to recruit the bureau.
When I meet now, looking at Calais's thin body with a terrifying aura under it, it is a feeling of disillusionment.
Those who are strong in alienation will be given enough attention wherever they go.
On the other hand, the meeting has also begun, and Yelika is formulating the next combat policy, while constantly comparing and drawing on the huge electronic sand table.
According to the available information, the Ferrela Army has three elite armored divisions equipped with [Conquistador 2] and four ordinary armored divisions equipped with [Conquistador] hidden in Harman.
7 divisions! This is all the hidden power of the Ferrelai Empire on the planet Haman.
In terms of garrisons, there were only six armored divisions originally stationed on Harman, of which only two divisions were equipped with [Destroyer], and the other four divisions were equipped with old-fashioned mechs like the 4th generation [Destroyer].
Among them, Maze City garrisoned a [Saboteur] division, and a [Destroyer] division, plus two mechanized infantry divisions of the Empire.
These two divisions had been crippled by Yelika and retreated to the south.
In the Battle of Mazecheng, three elite divisions equipped with [Conqueror 2] Ferrelai were annihilated, which undoubtedly dealt a blow to the core power of the Ferrele Empire in Harman Star.
After the defeat of the elite armored divisions of the three empires, the Ferrelean Empire voluntarily abandoned the northern defense section and began to retreat towards the south.
It was an amazing decision!
The four armored divisions that were originally stationed in the northern defense section actually began to retreat.
The reason why the northern section is a key defensive area is because there are many mountains in the north, and the mountains and jungles are intertwined, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can be described as a natural city wall.
Behind the entire northern defense section, there is a vast southeast loess wasteland, with hills and plains intertwined, which can be described as a flat river.
The fundamental reason for the large number of retreats of the Ferrellai army to the south was the failure of Mazecheng.
As the most important stronghold of the northern defense section, Maze City, which has mastered the main communication route, is located on the right side of the entire northern defense section, and when this key point is missed, the federal army can go all the way south, drive straight in, and take the unsafe Tariq city.
Once Tariq City fails, the link between Mazar City and Tariq City will be able to cut off the entire Ferelai army!
One enemy army is in the northwest and one in the southeast!
If it is not recovered, the northern section will be isolated from the city of Hazamer, which is located on the southeast coast, and defeat is a matter of time.
Without the support of Hazamma, the northern defense would not be sustainable.
This was the main reason why the Ferrelé army withdrew from the northern defense at any cost.
And Tariq City and Hasamo City are located on the Loess Wasteland and the Southeast Plains respectively, and there is no natural defensive advantage, that is, they can only defend to the death!
Defend the city! This was the signal from the Ferrierai Empire.
The trapped beast in the cage finally chose to take tens of millions of Radel Federation citizens as hostages and fight to the death!
The Federation army chasing south was still a beat slower, and it was even more foolish to want to intercept it, and the four Ferrelat armored divisions in the entire northern defense section had also retreated into Tariq City at this moment.
At this moment, Tariq City has gathered five Ferrele armored divisions! Together with the three crippled elite divisions of Ferrele that retreated and the two regiments that originally retreated from Maze City, it adds up to 70,000 mechs in Tariq City!
The remaining three divisions were relegated to the city of Hasamo and along the Muli River to the northwest.
The Muli River, which runs through the entire southeast road, runs from northwest to southeast, and finally joins the ocean.
And between the city of Maze and the city of Tariq, there is this wide river.
Yerika pointed to the electronic sandbox, dragging the red dot on it.
"The latest intelligence has come out, although we have not caught up with the four armored divisions withdrawn from the north, but our six armored divisions in the north have eaten up all their mechanized infantry divisions."
This is undoubtedly good news, and the loss of an infantry division means that there will be a partial loss of long-range firepower, which will be a sad situation in modern energy warfare.
After all, mecha firepower is limited, hand-to-hand combat and long-range firepower cannot be both, and no matter how powerful the mecha firepower is, it is also limited.
The main long-range powerful firepower coverage is derived from the all-mechanized infantry divisions.
The fire coverage of the mecha can only be used temporarily, and the lack of durability and range is a huge shortcoming.
In modern warfare, the role of mecha is still used for high-speed breakthroughs and surprise attacks, and mechs that have lost their speed and impact can only tremble under the energy cannon in the sky in positional warfare.
"They have deployed four divisions along the Muli River, all of which have retreated from the northern defense section, and the two mechanized infantry divisions in Tariq City have also coordinated the defense along the Muli River in front."
"Tariq City is still the strength of a division, and the remnants of their retreat from Maze City have begun to move towards Maze City, and are deployed in the jungle north of Maze City."
Erika showed the transmission of information on the sand table, and it can be said that the worst did not happen, and the street fighting was something that all the Radelers present did not want to see. Fortunately, the Ferrerian army relied on the Muli River to do the final defense.
"The enemy has more armor than us, but they are used for passive defense, and we still have an advantage in firepower."
"I have ordered the 23rd, 24th, 26th, 27th, and Panzer Divisions to launch a mobile attack along the Muli River starting tomorrow, striking at the weak points of their defensive section and pulling their defensive lines."
With four armored divisions and two infantry divisions, it was too difficult to defend the long line of the Muli River.
"The 28th and 29th Panzer Divisions rushed to the lower reaches of the Muli River to make a feint attack on the defense of the downstream defense section and contain their downstream forces."
"What we need to do is to focus on breakthroughs in the pull." Three arrows appeared in the electronic sandbox, the 4th and 17th divisions, and the 13th and 14th armored divisions, which were temporarily combined.
Three arrows were inserted from each of the three lines of defense along the entire defensive section, like three sharp knives, tearing through the lines of the Ferelais.
"Leave tomorrow morning and attack in the evening!"
"Understood!" Everyone responded and adjourned.
Everyone's mood was relatively heavy, and after the meeting ended, they also had their own thoughts, and there was not much communication.
The speed of this battle determines the next move of Ferrel, and it is inevitable to break through the defensive line, but if the speed is not fast enough, street fighting will definitely happen, which is not what the federal army wants to see.
Even now that the international community has banned the slaughter of civilians, who knows what will happen in the face of trapped beasts.
Calais on the side also listened to all the plans, originally as a bodyguard, naturally he was not qualified to hear these confidential combat content, but they were not ordinary bodyguards, Yelika still let Calais go after asking Apuro with her eyes.
Except for Erica and Magnolia, the other division commanders were not equipped with bodyguards, and some were just ordinary vigilant soldiers.
For the whole plan, Magnolia on the side did not express any opinions, for the overall strategy, Yelika is unconscious and her excellent commander, while Magnolia is more good at local command in battle, it can be said that each has its own strengths.
The overall situation of Haman Star has been decided, and the Fei Lilai army, which has abandoned the northern defense section, is the end of the strong crossbow. Therefore, how to maximize the results of victory and reduce the losses of the war is now a priority for the Federation.
