Chapter 1391: Blocking the Miracle
Dawn, Cage Mountain Command Post.
A large strategic map was erected in the center of the room to mark the current trajectory of the "floating land". Personnel from the General Staff and Intelligence Services update the data every day, and this has become the information that the top brass of the First Army is currently paying the most attention to.
The thick, bright red path on the map indicates that the land did not follow the Spine Mountains all the way south into the Kingdom of Eternal Winter, but adjusted its course halfway through and entered the Fertile Plains. Its height is also decreasing, and it is now less than a kilometer above the ground.
Following this trajectory, it will cross the Desperate Mountains and break into the territory of the Wolf's Heart in four days.
Because the target is so large, now as long as you set up a lookout on the top of the mountain, you can see this hazy gray shadow, it is like a thick dark cloud, adding a haze to this continent that has just ended the evil moon.
A pre-war meeting against the devil's "God-made God" was also held.
Although there was a consensus at the top that with the existing strength of the First Army, it was almost impossible to stop the movement of floating land, it was clearly not the style of the army to flee from the wind. In any case, it is necessary to test its strength and try to block it, and in the face of an enemy with insufficient intelligence, fighting is the most effective way to understand.
Preparing His Majesty as best as possible for his majesty's final solution is now the first priority of the army.
What's more, the enemy happened to give them this opportunity.
"According to the latest surveillance data, the height of the Devil's Fortress has dropped by more than two thousand meters, which is almost the height of half the continental spine. Edith slapped the report in her hand, "This drop is a bit unusual compared to the previous flight altitude. The staff conjectured that keeping the fortress levitating would most likely require a mana consummation, proportional to its height. This height, in turn, depends on the relative position of the ground, which is why this phenomenon occurs. ”
Although in the information provided by His Majesty, the Devil calls the Floating Continent a god-made god, the Northland Pearl prefers to call it a fortress and a mobile castle, at least when it comes to assigning tasks, without giving his subordinates the illusion that they are fighting against the gods.
Most of the top brass of the First Army had completed a secondary education course, and it took some time for Rao to understand the inferences of the General Staff.
"In other words, will this thing rise again when it crosses the Desperate Mountains?" asked Brian.
"If we're not mistaken. Edith shrugged.
"It doesn't matter why. "What matters is the fact that it is now only a hundred meters away from the Desperate Mountain Range. Vanna, what's going on over there. ”
"The survey team has determined," Vanna said, getting up and walking to the map, "there are two platforms suitable for artillery fire in the distance from Jinshi Ridge to Cage Mountain. As long as this thing doesn't change direction halfway, we'll be able to hit the cannonball on it. With the latest fortress cannons, you can't touch the devil's city. ”
In times of war with rapid weapon changes, the 152mm Fortress Gun naturally ushered in some improvements, such as a tube body that was easy to produce in batches, and a trailer that was more suitable for vehicles, the most important of which was the enlargement of the medicine room and the arrival of new sub-ammunition.
Since the new barrel was made by Anna for the final precision machining, and was fully produced in the factory, the overall quality has declined to a certain extent, which is reflected in the accuracy and durability of the shot. However, with a larger charge and a more advanced gunpowder formula, the firing range of the new gun has almost doubled to 18 kilometers. And the production of de-witching has also increased, and the loss of two or three guns is no longer a thing worth beating your chest.
"I think the devil is coming for the wolf's heart, although the floating land can produce red mist, but once it is removed, the red mist will dissipate, so if the enemy wants to really occupy a piece of land, it is essential to build a large number of fog storage towers. "With the support of the mobile obelisk this time, their plan to build a tower will not be hindered in any way, and Eternal Winter and Wolfheart will be connected as a whole, so the success rate of blocking the enemy's predetermined route is not low, the only thing that is debatable is the effect." ”
Obviously, this is not the same thing as the previous bombardment of the fortress-type freak beast, the former has a clear goal, that is, to destroy the freak beast before the enemy notices it, and as long as it hits a few shells, it can be exchanged for extremely high returns. But the results of the shelling of the floating continent can already be expected, and even if you can touch the devil's city, the damage caused is extremely limited. Eighteen kilometers is by no means a safe measure for a fortress surrounded by dinosaurs, and considering that there is still some distance from the edge of the target outline to the center, it means that the blocking team must get closer.
"I think it's worth a try, Commander-in-Chief. Vanna pondered for a moment before replying, "After the floating land enters the wolf's heart, only the air knights can engage the enemy head-on on the frontal battlefield, and the First Army will become a supporting role. So this is basically the only chance for the artillery division to make a move, even if we can't do much damage, at least it can show the attitude that humanity will never succumb to miracles!"
Iron Axe turned his head to look at the Northland Pearl, "What do you mean?"
Edith was silent for a few minutes, almost a few minutes before she nodded, "I have no opinion. ”
"In that case," Iron Axe took a deep breath and ordered the senior attendees, "just discuss the blocking plan according to this plan, time is pressing, and I need to see the conclusion immediately." ”
"Yes!" said in unison.
The results of the discussion were quickly summarized and it was decided that both high points suitable for shooting would be set up as artillery positions, but one was true and the other was false. The latter was closer to the path of advance of the mobile fortress in order to confuse the enemy's judgment. The real positions were carried out by the Hummingbirds, who transported the artillery into the Hermes mountains and destroyed them on the spot before evacuation, so that the enemy did not have a chance to capture the weapons.
In addition to the First Army, the Sky Knight Legion and the Witch of Punishment will also take on some cover and support missions.
With the plan goal in mind, the next step is to refine the process and implement it, and the military is already quite familiar with such a set of processes. There is no need to tell too much, the departments are already busy.
Back in the office of the General Staff, Filin couldn't help but ask the minister, "My lord, is it the meeting just now...... Is there anything wrong with that?"
Edith paused, "Why do you ask?"
"Because your words are much less than usual......"
"I see," she said, raising an eyebrow disapprehantly, "I was just thinking about a question, the devil calls the floating land a god of creation, and obviously has very high expectations of it. But for now, it's just a platform to provide red mist, and it doesn't show anything else extraordinary. So...... This thing may still have a means that we don't know about, and it may not be as simple as it seems. ”
"Then why didn't you bring it up at the meeting?" said Film, puzzled.
"Because it doesn't do much other than increase uneasiness. I can't make a plan based on guesswork, and the interdiction force can tell us the answer, whatever the answer is. ”
Hearing this, Fei Lin felt a pimple on his back.
Edith's tone did not change in the slightest, as calm as ice, "The first priority of the army at present is to prepare as well as possible for the future strategy, and trial and error is also one of the preparations. ”
