Chapter 242: Layers of Fortification, The Struggle of a Maniac (1)
26 November IC65, Vientiane.
"Hurry, hurry! The troops directly under the 7th and 8th armies and the engineering troops were the first to load! Including the rocket battalion! ”
"Pay attention to order! The engineering corps to the seventh platform, the ninth platform of the seventh army, and the third platform of the eighth army! ”
"Leave your machines alone! They're right behind your car! The logistics troops will load them with cars! Hop on board now! Boarding! Save every minute! ”
"All spirits! You're going to spend 18 hours in the car! There's time for you to sleep! ”
In the cries of cracking gold and stones, Vientiane's majestic freight station has become unrecognizable, only the bare platform remains, the bare magnetic tracks and the bare gantry crane still stand in place, and the oval roof that lacks personality no longer exists, so that the huge flow of goods can be so fast when entering and exiting.
Of course, the artificial precipitation in the hood during this period has also stopped, and the square of the railway station is full of medicines, food, and ammunition, and the precipitation can only be a waste of taxpayers' money and food.
It was early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight had not yet appeared, the sky was still dominated by the morning star, and the station, illuminated by countless bright lampposts, was already busier than day.
The military district command issued a general mobilization order, and the Shangri-La regiment of the First Army was transported in full force five days ago. Today, the 150,000-strong army of Hedgehogs in the Vientiane Military Region and an even larger number of logistics troops will launch an assault on Maori, bringing the total mobilization population to a terrifying 370,000.
Maori can't stop this raging force, everyone is so sure. Not to mention that two hours later, the first echelon was about to set off on Maori land. They will arrive at 1 a.m., and the indulgent Maori may still be asleep in their own houses.
With all kinds of optimistic dreams, the young soldiers of the units directly under the regiment of the Fourth Army are shaking their bags and will fight for a common great dream, for the unity of mankind.
The secondary ring, which is far away from there, cannot hear the hustle and bustle of the station, nor can you feel the sacrifice and optimism of the lowest fighters, as the commander-in-chief of the military district, the commander-in-chief of the southern front, Toruń. Douglas's aides, who are more pragmatic and more attentive to the predicament they are about to face.
"Our target is Solomon. After the closure of Mexico City, the island had become a gateway to the Maori, where the Maori had gathered almost all their forces, and it was clear that they did not want heavy groups to exchange fire on the main island. "The Chief of Staff of Lieutenant General Dong Xi of the Fourth Army, Tony . Solam swung the holographic map in front of him with a probe, and the map grew and grew, revealing every strategic point of Solomon as he moved.
Those strategic points did not exist in the first place, but the Maori spent nearly a year transforming not only the green island of Solomon, but also the entire island of Guadalcanal, which covers an area of more than 3,000 square kilometres.
Bullet points include pass forts, road bridges, permanent fortifications and breach belts, Guadalcanal is unrecognizable, and the Maori are completely different from the rumors, who obviously don't care if it affects the green island's self-purification process, and only want to turn the small island on the main road into a real bridgehead.
Now they did, and the tracks were dismantled for a full 86 kilometers, of which 18 kilometers were located at the sea. After protruding from the sea of ash, the soldiers had to face the first pass, a 13.3-kilometer curved wall that encloses the base pier of the steel frame of the magnetic rail, which is the first pier at the starting point. Behind the wall are a total of four forts, each guarding a fan less than 5 kilometers long, and this pass was named the beach fortress by the military district. This is the first point to enter Solomon.
After 35 kilometres of travel through the Fort Bunkers, you will enter the Popomanahue Belt, which stretches across half of Guadalcanal, with the 2,235-metre-high main peak as the centre, and the Maori have built a meandering standard road with a total length of more than 200 kilometres in this mountainous terrain that is not suitable for mechanized equipment. If Vientiane's army did not want to risk being raided by Pegasus to make a way through the towering mountains, they could only honestly follow the road over the mountains.
It seems that the Hodiara Plain on the north side of the island is more suitable for traversing, but the evil Maori have also manipulated there, and a 2-kilometre-wide breach stretches from the coast to the mountains, bringing in seawater that cuts off the only flat area outside the Solomon Stripon horizontally, creating an artificially created breach, and the Hodhiala Plain is generally at a low altitude, and the maximum width of this breach can even reach 3.7 kilometres at high tide.
The Maori did not expect a few kilometres of grey sea to hold back the enemy, and they built three iron bridges over the breach, which were not parallel, but converged in the form of a one-sided circular ramp 15 kilometres west of Solomon, with a man-made grey sea swamp beneath the bridge.
If the attacking forces were to advance in three directions, they would have passed through an 8-lane wide ramp and found that the road had suddenly narrowed, and only a small force needed to block it, they would have to jam at the junction and become a meal on the plate of the rocket unit hidden in the Solomon Forever fortifications. Because of this malevolent conception, these bridges are collectively known as the Demon Fire Fork.
Whether it's through the Demon Fire Fork or the Labyrinth Corridor, Green Island Solomon is in front of you, and only by occupying it can you talk about using the magnetic rail station to land Maori, but the mesh fortifications covering an area of 406 square kilometers will drag the last troops into the street fighting that the Bergasus troops are best at, so it is no longer called Solomon, and the new name is outlined on the holographic map, called Pegasus Ranch.
The Māori completed the armament of the army very early, but they only equipped one standardized army, the Māori First Defence Regiment, and then doubled the ratio of the Pegasus auxiliaries, with a total of only 11,200 men in four regiments, plus 2,800 warriors to make the Māori all combat power except for the high-level forces.
In terms of numbers alone, such a configuration is less than half of the Vientiane Military Region, and the strength of the warriors will be diluted in such a large-scale war, so they have come up with this damn layer-by-layer blocking strategy.
Layers of resistance, looking at the strange shapes of the obstacles, Toruń's temples beat one after another. The Maori had no intention of fighting a decisive battle, they only intended to drag the Confederate army to Guadalcanal, but on 22 December......
Thinking of this, Toruń interrupted the chattering chief of staff of the Fourth Army, slapped the table and stood up: "Can you break through the gray sea area in 10 days and send all the troops to the island?" ”
"My lord, it is impossible to conquer Solomon in 10 days!" Chief of Staff Solam screamed in shock, and even his voice burst out.
"I'm asking if I can get to the island!" Toruń's eyes widened, and he pointed to the location of the bunkers. This idiot, did he put all his energy into coming up with names?
"According to the information that came back, the number of troops rushing to the beach forts is not large, and 10 days should be enough......" Chief of Staff Solam wiped his sweat, and at that moment he almost thought that Toruń would kill him.
"On the 10th day of landing on the island, all the troops were divided into two groups and attacked in full...... That road and that bridge, then Solomon rendezvous, end the battle in 15 days, and land on the main island of Maori on December 22nd! ”
"My lord, I must remind you that the best way is to build a bridge in a section, even under the threat of artillery fire, I promise to complete a bridge that is enough for one army to cross the breach at the same time within two months." Major General Alpha, the commander of the Greenwich Corps, couldn't help but refute Toruń's whims, the fortifications built by the Maori were cleverly thought, and they were not at all something that could be penetrated in just three or two days, and a light enemy advance could only lead to a crushing defeat for the troops.
But Toruń didn't seem to hear him: "The first group of troops is responsible for seizing the beachhead, leaving enough troops to expand the beachhead, and the Ark Royal is placed in the second group, and high-end forces will attack the key points on the island with the troops." The Maori are their greatest weakness because they are not strong enough to be conventional or high-end, and the warriors of Bergasus are just a joke in a saturation bombardment that can occur at any time, and the losses of the whole army may be greater, but only then is it in our interest. Be sure to conquer the whole island within 15 days, this order! ”
"Yes, sir! All for victory! The entire conference room stood up and shouted loudly, if the capable people participated in the battle in an all-round way, there was indeed a great chance of conquering all positions in 15 days. It's just that what are the adults anxious about? This is a battle of national fortunes!
……
The participants quickly withdrew, and they had to adjust the sequence according to Toruń's instructions, for example, the first group had to be strengthened, and only by crossing the gray sea area quickly and not giving the Maori a chance to block the track section could they break through the beach-grabbing bunkers in 10 days and establish a beachhead sufficient for 150,000 standardized regiments.
Anmu Luo didn't leave, this kind of trivial matter had nothing to do with him, the army had already been trained, and even carried out a certain degree of confrontation ability, so it was enough, the marching formation should not be a place to restrain a high-level combat power, in his opinion, Toren needed him more.
"You're not wearing a gown today." Amulo walked over and poured a cup of tea, replacing the cold tea in front of Toruń.
"I don't want to waste time on something that doesn't matter." Torun smiled wryly.
"Hood said that dressing is the embodiment of self-confidence, and the self-confidence of the manager is the guarantee of the victory of his subordinates, and that is not a matter of indifference." Amulo pulled out his chair and shifted to face him, looking directly at him.
"Later, Hood also said that it was just a small section, and reasonable strategy and strong strength were the keys to victory." Toruń retorted unconvinced.
"So you understand?" Amuro laughed, he and Toruń were long-time friends, even in the team were allies, and in private they didn't need to pay too much attention to humility, and Toren didn't like it.
"I know this strategy is reckless, but we don't have time to ......"
"You still care about adults." An Muluo's voice sank, and the meaning of December 22 Toren told him, and the conversation with Fanor Toren also told him, there was no hiding between the two of them, and they were absolutely different in the Qingwei.
"Can you not care? He's crazy, though. Toruń pushed away his chair and stood up, "What's more, the Maori capable people are generally strong, and without him, we can't win this war......"
