Chapter 167: Comrades-in-Arms
"You like to modify mechas, but unfortunately you are not a data engineer, it is difficult to achieve great success, if you get advice in this area, maybe it can make you go to the next level, the top person in charge of CCA happens to be a data engineer." The topic came to De Looney, and Lu Lingxue had an idea.
Chen Fang smiled, and finally accepted the invitation to join the group, not because he thought that the person in charge of the CCA could be smarter than him, nor was he willing to share it with others, Chen Fang didn't mind sharing it with others, provided that he didn't let him play the piano to the cow.
Chen Fang's reason for joining is very simple, Lu Lingxue joined the CCA for his illness, and he is also willing to join the CCA for Lu Lingxue, as for the purpose of the organization, what benefits can be obtained is not considered.
For an organization with tens of millions of members, adding a new member is not a big deal, Chen Fang symbolically landed in the community, hung up a name, and since then, has become a formal member of the organization.
"You're welcome to join us." As a core member of the CCA, Lu Lingxue's posture is still very in place, but as her fiancé, Chen Fang came up with a conjecture, if one day, she does something that damages the reputation of the organization, can this woman take care of the relationship between husband and wife? Let yourself go or kill your relatives in righteousness?
Thirty-two hours later, the Imperial fleet withdrew from the Vault, leaving only a small number of paramedics and support staff to maintain the day-to-day work of the Vault.
At the same time, the fourth echelon of the Auga Empire, a combat force of about 20 million people, secretly arrived in Kadolan after three weeks of covert marching, and after completing the supply, they quickly divided their troops to raid the three planets of Naga, Boca, and Beidon, and the war became a reality in an instant.
To this day, the intentions of the Augar Empire have also been exposed. In fact, the early work is not done in vain, the empire's fleet can stabilize the pressure of all parties, successfully pass the two levels of suppression of bandits and repair stars, and burn the war to these three planets, the early work is not done in vain, and now there is no need to hide, the empire is desperate, can you take down the three planets to fight here.
Chen Fang was not left in the Xiu Nan Star, nor did he go to those three planets, and was left on the command ship by Generalissimo Lu to watch the battle. In the final analysis, Lu Beiyan has no shortage of people to charge into battle, at first he was dedicated to his son-in-law's work, but now that he is in the limelight, of course, he can't be sent to play with his life, it is true that military merit is hard to find, but life is precious.
Lu Beiyan, who invisibly acted as a gambler, couldn't take his eyes off the three main battlefield images. Nearly 100 videos from different battlefield areas kept flashing, and so far everything has gone relatively smoothly.
"What do you think?" The war entered a stalemate situation, and Lu Beiyan breathed a sigh of relief and quietly asked his son-in-law.
"Our battle line is stretched too long, and we will be very passive if we are frustrated on any battlefield. The enemy is fighting on its own soil, and it has a geographical advantage, and we must also fight quickly, because this battle is very difficult to fight. Chen Fang replied truthfully.
"You think there's something wrong with my tactics?" Lu Beiyan turned his head and asked in a low voice.
"It's not a matter of tactics, it's forced by the situation, so we have to take risks. With the experience of the Repair Star, even if the Imperial Fleet attacks one by one, they will unite, no matter which one is attacked first, the remaining two planets will be worried that they will be the next, and they will take the initiative to attack the Imperial Fleet, rather than this, it is better to attack the three planets at the same time and catch them off guard. Chen Fang was stunned at first, and wisely admitted his father-in-law's approach.
"It is commendable that young people have this insight and courage, but unfortunately their vision is not wide enough, and the battle has been fought to this day, and all the guys who have ghosts in their hearts are ready, and they are not caught off guard. The purpose of this is that if you fight one, others don't think that you only fight one, everyone is worried that they are next, worried that their lips will be cold, they are very likely to join forces to fight the same enemy, and fight three at the same time, they will be puzzled, guessing that the empire's goals are only three, as long as they think that they are not threatened for the time being, they would rather watch the fire from the other side, and our prey is thirteen, not three. Lu Beiyan whispered a mystery, a seemingly insipid little trick, gambling on the fate of the 20 million mecha army and the country as a bargaining chip, not everyone can see through it.
Strategically crazy to the extreme, but tactics are extremely conservative, Lu Beiyan, who has the advantage in troops, is not in a hurry or impatient, and fights steadily, paying close attention to the changes in the three main battlefields, in addition, the ghost eye is sent to monitor the remaining ten planets. Lu Beiyan is like a clever chess player, taking the overall situation, and playing against him is not one, but thirteen.
"Marshal, it is better for us to concentrate our superior forces and deal a fatal blow to the enemy, and our subordinates are willing to be the vanguard." Unable to attack for a long time, Jem was a little breathless.
"The enemy army can't resist your landing, and at best retreats, why should they be given a fatal blow?" Lu Beiyan's merciless lesson.
It can be roughly seen from the video that although it is a landing battle, the proportion of casualties between the two sides is not large, and the Imperial fleet even has a faint advantage. The Imperial Fleet, which occupies the superiority in strength and technology, is best at fighting in large armies, and the last thing it is afraid of is attrition, so Lu Beiyan thinks that everything is going well in a situation where he is stalemate, but Jem can't see through this, and he deserves to be taught a lesson.
"The marshal is the main force that wants to use the landing battle to annihilate the enemy army." Jem couldn't help blushing at first he was wondering that with the strength of the Imperial fleet, the landing battle should not have such an effect.
"The enemy army is fighting on the ground, if they are scattered, they are likely to be broken into pieces, with the advantage of geographical advantages, in this way, the annihilation of the same number of enemy troops, it will have to pay several times the price, the proportion of casualties will become very ugly, the most important thing is that the fleet is a long-distance attack, the loss of starting forces, but can not delay time, if they are dispersed before the annihilation of the enemy's main force, the next battle will be protracted. Wars are changing rapidly, the opponent is not a fool, an idealized outcome is unlikely, and how much can be annihilated. When Lu Beiyan said this, few people were surprised, the officers in the command room were all battle-hardened figures, and many people understood the meaning.
People who are familiar with the Imperial Legion and Lu Beiyan can easily see the strangeness, with the military strength of the Empire, why bother to fight the three planets, Lu Beiyan only mobilized 20 million troops, by no means unable to transfer more troops, but did not want to arouse the vigilance and uneasiness of the rest of the opponents, if the number of people mobilized by the Imperial Fleet was not 20 million, but 50 million, the surrounding planets must be in danger, and it would be strange to be able to stand by and watch.
Lu Beiyan's methods were not limited to this, in such a heavy battle as the landing battle, not a single unit was completely wiped out, and the attacking troops were ordered to be transferred back before more than half of the casualties were killed, and the troops of other factions rushed forward, and the replaced troops did not reorganize and no longer engage in battle, and retreated as they were.
This is to create the illusion that the Imperial fleet is vulnerable, and thus miscalculate the number of casualties in the fleet. In addition, the soul of the army lies in the veterans, leaving the veterans is to leave the fire, the soul of this army is still there, and it will not take long to expand the new blood after going back, and it will be a team of heroic divisions. On the contrary, if the veterans are allowed to die cleanly, this army will disappear completely, and even if it is reorganized, what remains is just a number.
"Soldiers, sophistication, from the era of cold soldiers to the present, weapons have changed again and again, and the essence has never changed, it is nothing more than a game of deception and being deceived. Fighting a war is a war, you can't let the chips in your hands decrease, a good marshal, let the troops grow through war, and not beat yourself into a bare-bones commander, understand? Worried that his son-in-law would not be able to comprehend the subtlety, Lu Beiyan pulled his son-in-law to the corner and taught him carefully.
Since the expedition, Chen Fang has browsed a lot of military books in his spare time, but the written descriptions are not as incisive as a marshal's unreserved teaching, and he has benefited immensely for sixteen hours.
Lu Beiyan made a desperate bet, gambling on time, he wanted to destroy the three most threatening opponents on the premise of not alarming the rest of the surrounding planets, if he won this game, he would be able to win enough time and space to maneuver, when he started the landing battle, the rest of the planets were not moving, and when he took these three planets, those stupid people would have already missed the opportunity, and they did not dare to act rashly, when the time came, he could even let the troops rest, or kill back, and destroy Aturu first.
As time goes on, the scales of victory are tipping. The atmosphere in the command room has also gradually eased, forty-eight hours without sleep, some of the blood-red bigwigs have secretly smiled, according to the analysis of the forces in advance, the landing is not a problem, the purpose is to consume the enemy's troops, this goal has been achieved, the remaining nine planets have not moved so far, by this time, even if they rush to the rescue, it will be too late.
It would take at least three days on the road, and before they could kill them, the Imperial fleet would have inflicted heavy damage on the enemy's main force and landed successfully.
It's just that because of Lu Beiyan's relationship, no one dares to speak outrageously.
The hanging heart was put down, and he suddenly felt the threat of hunger, and someone brought food halfway, but the battle was in full swing, and the marshal had no intention of eating, who would dare to eat? Isn't that heartless?
The people in the legion know Marshal Lu's temper, he doesn't like you, the good days are over, the hunger of the moment is compared with the future, the officials can tell the weight, therefore, a room of people, there is no food to eat, only the sound of gurgling is heard one after another.
Chen Fang also gritted his teeth and refused the food, although he was not worried about the future, he couldn't dismantle his father-in-law's platform, no one would eat it, just your son-in-law? Besides, no one in this room eats, and it's too eye-catching to eat alone, it's eating alone, and it will have diarrhea, and Chen Fang's skin is not thick enough, and he can't reach that realm.
If you don't eat for a few days, it's false to say that you're not hungry, Chen Fang can resist the temptation, and his confidence comes from the compressed biscuits in his pocket, and he looked around, no one paid attention to him, and then he took action.
The general's military uniform is quite uh, rich in texture, flat and flat, worn for a few days, not a single pleat can be seen, the style is simple enough, there is only a pocket on the left chest, can not put anything, even if it can be put down, it is impossible for the pampered boss to have the habit of snacking, let alone carry dry food.
What is happiness, happiness is that everyone is hungry, I have compressed biscuits to eat, you don't. Chen Fang smiled faintly, quietly reached into his pocket, fumbled to open the package, and broke a small piece from the whole biscuit.
Syllable!
The compressed biscuits made a crunchy sound when they crumbled, perhaps because of psychology, Chen Fang heard very clearly, did not rush to take out the biscuits, carefully observed the surroundings again, and made sure that they were not exposed, so he picked up the biscuits with his fingertips and stuffed them into his mouth in a blink of an eye.
The whole process was very light and did not make any more sound, and then, he picked up the cup on the table and poured it twice in a row.
The human digestive system is very strange, and when a biscuit is in the stomach, the feeling of hunger is not relieved, but is intensified.
Another piece, with the first experience, Chen Fang is much more sophisticated, when he puts his hand into his pocket, he no longer looks vigilantly, looking around, but it is easy to arouse suspicion.
"Ahem, ahem." The sudden two coughs made Chen Fang nervous for a while, and following the reputation, the other party's appearance was not distinctive, and the military rank was lieutenant general~~
The people in this room, if ten really starve to death, at least nine of them are generals, and the remaining two are school officers, the biscuits are out of their pockets, and they can't be put back again. Originally, no one stipulated that the command room could not eat, but you were afraid of the majesty of the marshal, so you didn't dare to eat, who can blame you?
"It's a compressed biscuit, right?" Chen Fang repeated his old tricks, and when he took out the third biscuit, this person was completely out of breath. At such times, except for hunger protests, no sound was harmonious, so he kept his voice low.
Chen Fang nodded quietly, the other party's observation is very strong, it is indeed the legendary compressed biscuit, time has passed, this kind of product that was originally a military product, now even in the army, no one may use it, if it weren't for Chen Fang to join the mercenaries, just embarrassed for a while, I'm afraid it is impossible to know what compressed biscuits are in this life, I don't know that there are such unpalatable things in the world, but no matter how unpalatable it is, you can survive, living is more important than anything else, it is rare that this person can guess the clue just by the smell and the way he steals it, Ginger is still old and spicy, master!
For the veterans' insights, Chen Fang's admiration of the five-body throw, speaking of this part, the other party's meaning is self-evident, if it is not hungry to this part, with the identity of the other party, even if he knows that he is stealing food, it is estimated that it is difficult to speak, each other are soldiers, and now staying in the command room, equivalent to a comrade-in-arms in the trench, due to Lu Beiyan's atrocities, he also belongs to the comrades-in-arms in distress, Chen Fang of course can't be too stingy, and immediately broke off a piece of the only remaining biscuit and secretly handed it to him.
The two tacitly looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and they didn't say thank you for their great kindness, so there was no need to say the nonsense of gratitude.
With the remaining small half of the compressed biscuit, Chen Fang easily lasted for another ten hours, until the video changed, and the three main battlefields showed signs of loosening one after another.
"The defenses are loose, they want to retreat!" After all, the young man couldn't hold his breath, and it was Jem who came out again. However, he expressed the voice of the majority of suffering compatriots, the soldiers outside fought bloodily, and it was not easy in the command room, until now, everyone hopes that this battle will end as soon as possible, victory belongs to the empire, life is his own, the old ghost who has been fighting for many years has some stomach problems and can't stand hunger.
Lu Beiyan smiled faintly, and immediately ordered: "It's only now that I have come back to my senses, don't you think it's too late?" Poor Kou Mo chases, let the vanguard withdraw. ”
Leaving a simple order, Lu Beiyan turned around and left, as the commander, he only needed to put forward a strategy, and the specific steps were completed by the commanders of the various troops.
Poor Kou Mo Chasing? Withdraw troops? If you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue the past, after all, it is on someone's land, and you are afraid of ambush, but it is unbelievable to withdraw your troops.
It's a landing battle! Who stormed the next city and withdrew his troops without entering it? Even if the marshal had the intention to consume the enemy's troops, this practice was too exaggerated, it could be said that it was unparalleled, and the people below looked at each other, but because of the marshal's majesty, no one dared to say anything.
Normally, landing battles are the landing side suffered heavy casualties, however, the empire has an overwhelming advantage in science and technology, coupled with the superiority of troops, miraculously changed this iron law, this is a miracle created by a powerful scientific and technological force, and it is also the advantage of the imperial fleet.
After a while, Lu Beiyan avoided the eyes and ears of his subordinates, pulled his son-in-law, came to his daughter's room, and shouted loudly before entering the door: "Hurry up, get some food, this kid hasn't eaten for three days, he must be hungry at this time." ”
Lu Lingxue was stunned at first, and while using the communicator to notify the restaurant to deliver food, she complained to her father: "Why don't you allow him to eat." ”
Lu Beiyan rolled his eyes: "What's the matter, I'm distressed, I didn't force him, he didn't eat it himself, he couldn't complain about others, besides, your father was also hungry, and no one in the command room ate." ”
Lu Lingxue is very smart, it is impossible for no one to deliver food in the dignified command room, it must be strange by his father, fortunately, neither of them was starved, and said helplessly: "Dad, why don't you let people eat, you are not afraid of people scolding people behind their backs." ”
"I'll talk about it later, when will the food be delivered? The fleet's cafeteria is too inefficient, and it will have to be rectified another day. Chen Fang secretly took a large plate of compressed biscuits, Lu Beiyan was really hungry for three days, his chest was close to his back, how could he have the heart to say more.
Chen Fang couldn't help but snicker, at first, he thought that his father-in-law was really beaten with iron, but it turned out that he was also pretending.
After a while, more than a dozen exquisite side dishes were delivered, and Lu Beiyan immediately devoured the food delivery person.
"Eat! Why don't you eat it, don't see me. When you get to the command room, you are a staff officer, close the side, we are a family. ”
It is difficult to be gracious, Chen Fang reluctantly grabbed the tableware, compressed biscuits are not only unpalatable, but also difficult to digest, and he is not hungry yet, but even if he is not hungry, it is nothing to stuff two more bites, it is better than admitting to stealing food.
The two men in front of him, one gobbled up, and the other stopped after a shallow taste, Lu Lingxue Yan couldn't see the clues, and immediately guessed the hidden situation.
Although she guessed it, Lu Lingxue didn't dare to say it, and glared at Chen Fang in private, as if her father's starvation was Chen Fang's deception, at least, Chen Fang didn't share the difficulties with his father.
"I know what you guys think, you think I'm impersonal, don't you?" After being hungry for three days, Lu Beiyan didn't dare to let go of eating, so he stopped when he was half full.
"It's a bit of a harm to others and not to oneself." Chen Fang nodded happily, there was no doubt that he received the white eyes of his fiancée again.
"I did it on purpose. The farther away the soldiers are from the battlefield, the less courageous they become, and these generals are usually pampered and do not let them suffer a little crime, they will become cowardly, and the soldiers will charge into battle, bloody battles, let them starve and not scream too much. Within three sentences, Lu Beiyan began to instill in his son-in-law the way of leading troops: "Fighting a war is a treacherous way, and leading troops must be on the right path." Since ancient times, there have been countless books about leading soldiers, but in the final analysis, they are all inseparable from one word, strict! Don't get too close to your subordinates, let them know that you're different from them. There are no friends in the army, only comrades-in-arms. What are comrades-in-arms? Even if you've just quarreled, or even started fighting. Commanded, immediately charged shoulder to shoulder, he still dared to hand over his life to you to protect. You must resolutely carry out the orders of your superiors, and you must be strict with your subordinates, and your peers are your competitors, understand? ”
Chen Fang was a little puzzled, his father-in-law starved his subordinates for three days, and he himself was hungry for three days, was it to tell him this truth.
Lu Beiyan is indeed well-intentioned, if he knows that his son-in-law is applying his valuable experience to a group of three or five mercenaries, I am afraid that he will be angry and vomit blood on the spot.
Lu Lingxue dragged her chin with one hand, looking at her father's blood-red eyes, still not forgetting to teach Chen Fang Chunchun, and a happy feeling welled up in her heart. Since he was sensible, his father often frowned at his brother's timidity, and now, his father has finally found the object of hope, no wonder his brother said that he is not jealous of Chen Fang, he is just envious.
