Chapter 12 Chapter 012: Harman Star
The next day, the 17th Division boarded a huge military transport ship and headed for Harman Star.
The final counteroffensive is coming.
This time, the space fleet of the Radel Federation has recovered a total of 7 galaxies and 8 colonized planets in the Southern Sky Star Field, plus the previous 5, 12 of the 13 galaxies in the Southern Sky Star Domain have been recovered, and all the remaining Ferelai troops are shrunk in the final seventh galaxy.
Along the way, Magnolia has been complaining about why the Third Army was sent to reclaim Harman, while her old rival, the 6th Army, one of the three genius generals, Chanore, went to the largest Star, Nora.
Why.
Calais followed Magnolia all the way, listening to her broken thoughts all day long, looking at this strange division commander, not knowing what to think.
Magnolia didn't shy away from it, just treating Calais as transparent, ignoring him, and busily taking care of herself.
It's just that sometimes Julia will come over to talk to Calais, but with someone like Calais who is not good at chatting, Julia can't talk to Calais about anything.
Calais is also relatively leisurely, as a military transport ship, it is well protected, but there is no need to follow Magnolia so tightly, finding time to cultivate is the key.
Six days later, the transport ship arrived at Harman.
The Ferrelat Army stranded at Haman had a total of 16 divisions, including 6 armored divisions and 10 fully mechanized infantry divisions. Although the Haman Star is not large, the 16 divisions are indeed too few, and the remnants of the retreating army are only weak, and the combat effectiveness is low, so it cannot form an effective threat.
The 30th Division, 10 Armored Divisions and 20 Fully Mechanized Infantry Divisions of the Third Army of Radel, which were purged this time, were completely crushed in terms of strength in terms of quantity and quality.
Three weeks, not much time, but enough for them, after three weeks, the garrison of Haman will arrive, and before that, it is only necessary to clear the planet of the Ferelites.
Due to the numerical disadvantage of Ferrele and the loss of control of space, the entire defense line shrank to the southeastern continent.
The entire southeastern continent is easy to defend and difficult to attack, mountains and jungles occupy 65%, there are not many transportation arteries, there are few key cities, and the defense line connected by road can be said to be the best defensive position of the Ferelai people.
The entire 17th Division is responsible for the most easily conquered northeast defensive section, along with the 14th and 13th armored divisions and the six fully mechanized infantry divisions behind.
The entire northeastern defense section is dominated by hills and plains, and the command intends to use the 17th Division as an arrow, insert it into the defense area of the Ferrelis people, and then strike at the other two defense sections by detour.
The arrival of the 17th Division was like a bamboo, destroying the withering along the way.
"It's strange, although it's really hard to defend here, it's not like you can't see a few mechas." During the break, Magnolia muttered.
There weren't many enemies along the way, which made her very unhappy, and there was no one to fight, so that her sulking had nowhere to vent.
While directing the staff officer to give feedback to the command, he was thinking about something.
As if thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Calais behind him.
Calais looks laid-back, but this is the battlefield, and although the entire 17th Division is on high alert, he must also be prepared for emergencies.
This man has really followed her since he got off the transport, and he really 'sits' on the shoulders of the mecha, although the shoulders of the [Iron Horse] are very broad, but no one can sit on them.
At first, Magnolia carefully drove the [Iron Horse] smoothly, but later she found that Calais's ass seemed to be glued to the [Iron Horse] and could not fall off at all.
Seeing this scene, Magnolia was full of evil taste, and began to make various three-dimensional maneuvers, emergency stops and turns, and maneuver evasions while crossing the hills, in a vain attempt to throw Calais down.
However, Magnolia's plan fell through, and no matter how much she ran or jumped, Calais still stuck to her and couldn't fall.
During this time, the entire 17th Army also got to know Calais, a strange man.
When Calais first arrived, the deeds of him punching the division commander Magnolia and kicking the special battalion commander Bagber have spread throughout the entire 17th Army, but only a few people have seen it.
And now I can see with my own eyes, seeing Calais sitting on the shoulders of the [Iron Horse], and then cooperating with Magnolia's operation, it is like performing acrobatics, which is not unexpected.
A series of things made Magnolia feel that Calais was becoming more and more difficult, although she even had a dislike for Calais, but it would not be obvious on the surface.
But this also had to make her think, why did the above send Calais to protect himself, as a mercenary, he didn't know how to fly a mecha, and on the battlefield, in the face of the enemy's steel torrent, what did he do to protect himself? Since it is not a protection against war, there is only one possibility.
Assassinate. Am you on the assassination list of the underworld?
Magnolia covered her head, looking like she had a headache. Think about why someone would assassinate him if he usually kept a low profile and did not show offence, strictly implemented orders on the battlefield, and looked like a good soldier.
At this time, if Calais knew Magnolia's thoughts, he would definitely despise her, and if she didn't show off, it was almost up to heaven.
Magnolia didn't know, and Calais didn't know, whether it was about protection or prevention.
"Alright, let's end the break." Magnolia finished her rest and began to give orders.
"Continuing to move south, the search range of the special battalion has doubled, and it all moves me."
"General, our speed is too fast, the 13th and 14th divisions can no longer keep up with us, and it is estimated that it will take two days for the infantry divisions behind to catch up with us." The staff officer came over to warn Magnolia.
"We're here to eat meat, not soup!" Magnolia dismissed the counselor's suggestion.
The entire 17th Division continued to advance to the south.
Soon, night fell, and the entire planet of Harman was shrouded in darkness, surrounded by fields and woods, and it was extremely quiet, except for the roar of mechas.
The Haman star at night is very dark, due to the absence of satellites, it is very dim at night, and all that can be seen is the flashing breathing lights of the mecha and the accurate positioning of obstacles through the sonic radar.
This makes it very difficult for reconnaissance and special operations at the front, and the troops on the road can only slow down.
The 17th Division had advanced to 240 kilometers from the city of Saham.
The city of Sahama is an important hub of the entire northern defense sector, and the intelligence from the distance shows that the Ferelai army has stationed two entire armored divisions here.
240 kilometers, if you take the road, it will only take a little more than half an hour to reach, and even if the overall speed slows down, in another two hours, they will be able to see Sahamo City.
