Chapter 131: Soldiers
To some extent, the Greenwich Kingdom still retains the remnants of the feudal era, that is, the aristocratic state. The title is granted to the elite of the country, the herdsmen govern the country, are respected by the people, and the herdsmen are planned. Considering that the situation of never being knighted by the capable has occurred, the author believes that this kind of behavior is not a historical regression, but stems from the suppression of the capable by the imperial power. In this kingdom, the capable are in charge of military affairs and technology, the nobles share in the political cake, whether it is the parliament or the heads of various departments, and the royal chamberlains have clearly stipulated that they must be served by the elite who hold the title, they control the lifeblood of the kingdom, limit the personal power of the capable to ensure the advantage of the imperial power, and the task of the king is to enrich the noble class by simply promoting the outstanding elements of the people. Greenwich did not have a law to deprive the nobility of their status, but there was no law to provide for the nobility, and all the survival of the fittest was left to the nobility themselves, the symbol of which was the Bolonte Street. Once the idle aristocratic family loses the property of Boronte Street, they will be removed from the House of Nobles, and the name of the delisting will be jointly signed by the king.
- "Saxon Blood" IC50, Bieber. Wellington
As Hu Er had predicted, the government army had absolute superiority in strength and firepower, but its performance in actual combat could only be described as miserable, and its chaotic organization and weak sense of preparedness made everyone stunned. After the general offensive was launched, not to mention attacking the city and conquering the city, they could not even hold the front line of the previous confrontation, and the separatist forces moved around and frequently made contributions on the flanks, forcing the government troops to spend one difficult day and night after another in an uninterrupted retreat.
By August 1, IC64, Vientiane had lost two-thirds of its losses, and Orn fought a series of battles, with the proud record of repelling the second-order ability Hu Minyi head-on and injuring the third-order martial artist Jin Hancheng, he was able to hold the magnetic track station, and it was also the most important passage for Maori to advance the army.
β¦β¦
IC64, Aug, 1, 2:15 a.m., MΔori C4.
While most people are still asleep, the Maori Magnetic Rail Station, a huge and beautiful station, is bustling with people. The Swordfish, Sailfish, Lemonshark, and Emperor Ribbon Fish are four special magnetic rail trains with endless carriages and are parked side by side on the central sub-track. The makeshift Maori Island crest, the R-organ insignia and the Bergasus military insignia alternate on the long train walls, reflecting the glow of the nightlight. After 45 minutes, they will carry the largest expeditionary force in Maori history, including 756 soldiers of the 1st Regiment of Bergasus and 8 armed squads, 1,400 auxiliary soldiers, 277 combat staff officers, and 193 vehicles of various types of equipment, high-level armed forces include Bergasus Commander Luo Chuan and capable people Lu Chengyuan, Del Li, and Millen Tolstoy, and the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force is the acting chief of the return agency, and the third-order ability, "Spider" Ms. Zhang Aijia.
The Swordfish is still docked at Platform 7. On the platform, all the high-level forces of this sortie were there, standing behind Zhang Aijia and Premier Olen.
The acting chief lady still looks like she is not smiling, but I don't know why, even a little girl like Mo'er can feel an overflowing beauty from under her close-fitting military uniform, which is thrilling.
"Little Del, what's wrong with Sister Aijia?"
"Pregnant, didn't you see General Luo Chuan's constipated expression?" Being called "Little Del" by Mo'er made the 20-year-old Delly very helpless, but he couldn't refute it in terms of seniority. The 20-year-old already knows a lot about the ways between husband and wife, let alone a mature and intelligent young man like Del. What can make a couple change overnight? It seems that only new life has been born.
Damn dwarf, let you pour me wine into my death yesterday and watch those little ones choreograph me! Not......
Luo Chuan covered his mouth and flew back, panicking like a lost dog, and even the afterimage was lost.
"Wow, this is the legendary ...... of Joy," Mo'er sighed.
β¦β¦
In the Swordfish, the armed team boarded the train first and gathered in the carriage as a group.
The Orion team formed a circle, and Staff Officer Liu had just finished participating in the pre-war preparation meeting, and as always, he became the core of this small group.
"Hey, can anyone tell me what the hell we're going to do?" Ye Mazi squatted on the top bunk of the carriage, holding a lollipop in his mouth, looking unhappy. After the Orion squad was upgraded to an armed squad, various treatments were improved in a straight line, including the cockpit, of course, but ...... The Swordfish is non-smoking, which is a very nonsense thing for an old smoking gun.
"Combat mission, didn't you read the briefing?" Staff Officer Xiao Liu operated the computer in his hand without raising his head.
"What kind of battle I'm asking is! It's about to be a world war, isn't it? Entente to Alliance, God, I almost thought I was back in 1937 AD. β
"What a surprise, you still read ancient history?" Lao Bu wiped his baby armament, Yayue, as the first batch of the first batch, the Orion squad was officially equipped for almost 3 months, except for training and sleeping, Lao Bu almost never stopped wiping and maintaining, and his love was overflowing.
"Every non-commissioned officer who wishes to be promoted has to learn ancient history, man." Ye Mazi clicked and crushed the lollipop and pulled out the candy stick.
"Suspend discussion of unrelated topics." Staff Officer Xiao Liu clicked on the projection button, "The following is the battle briefing." β
A holographic projection of Vientiane appeared in the carriage, somewhat transparent, but the human shape of the building was still clearly visible. This is a gourd-shaped green island, there are no eye-catching buildings, and there is no Zhong Ling's handsome natural landscape, but the dense army and firearms gathered on both sides of the gourd pass are like a brown scar, and the breath of war that blows in the face is impossible to ignore.
"This is a model based on the image taken at 7:24 a.m. on July 25, after the split of the Pacific Rim Alliance, there has been no large-scale conflict, the separatist forces have taken the initiative to give up most of the control area, concentrate all forces in Vientiane, the government side is advancing with the trend, and the two sides have formed a large force confrontation in the Hulu Pass area."
"Well, how many people are there?" Ye Mazi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, he felt his mouth dry.
"There are 42,000 government troops and 17,000 separatist forces, and the difference in numbers between the two sides is nearly three times, and the difference in firepower is nearly 10 times." Staff Officer Xiao Liu's tone was calm, like an outsider.
"With such a big advantage, they have a fart! Still asking us for help? I said, this is a game for us, right? "Pegasus and Futu can rely on special terrain to fight or even besiege and kill those with high-level abilities far beyond their own strength, and ordinary armies can also use similar methods to fight them, in the environment of saturated artillery bombardment, personal combat power is reduced to a minimum, after all, warriors are also flesh and blood, and it is a situation of death and death if they are really hit by a cannon.
"It's not a conspiracy, it's been confirmed."
"Confirmation?" Ye Mazi jumped three feet high, and the faces of the other members of the Orion team were not good-looking, "Don't tell me that it was confirmed by those deductions!" β
"Of course not." Staff Officer Xiao Liu didn't look at the leader of the team who jumped up and down, and clicked the play button by himself.
The army gathered at the Hulu Pass began to move, and the government army broke into the second ring, advanced, and then changed the style of painting, retreating all the way to the middle line of the main ring before reconstructing the defensive line, and the rapid change made people stunned.
"It's not a deduction...... Chitu muttered behind Lao Bu, his voice echoing in the silent carriage, extremely abrupt.
"It's a live show for the past few days." Staff Officer Xiao Liu pressed down again, got up and pointed at the Hulu Pass, "At 6 o'clock in the night of July 25, the government army launched a general attack, under the absolute firepower superiority, the breakthrough was very smooth, the 122nd Regiment lasted 7 hours to break through the enemy in front of it, establish a passage, and then the 1st and 7th Tank Divisions formed a mixed column to break into the second ring. β
"That's a win, right?" Lao Bu is calm and capable, and he is the person with the highest tactical literacy in the entire team except for Xiao Liu's staff officer, and he really can't think of any chance for the separatist forces to turn the tables in this situation.
"Obviously lost." Ye Mazi touched his chin and took over the conversation, he didn't let go of the opportunity to show the dignity of the chief officer, but it didn't mean that he could analyze the reason, so the seven heads turned to Staff Officer Xiao Liu together.
"You've seen it, the government forces lost." Staff Officer Xiao Liu moved his finger to the center of the secondary ring, "At 4 o'clock in the morning of July 26, the separatist forces detonated 7 high-rise buildings in the central area, blocking the passage of the tank troops, and then the artillery unit of the government army responsible for clearing the obstacle and supporting it marked the wrong shooting element, and after 30 minutes of saturation shelling, the 1st Tank Division was annihilated, and the 7th Division suffered heavy losses. You have all seen the changes in the back, the government army withdrew from the secondary ring, and the separatist forces took advantage of the victory to pursue, until the main ring magnetic track station line, with a victory in the high-end combat power duel, the battle situation stabilized. β
"Mismarked shooting yuan?" The people of Orion were dumbfounded, this kind of mistake ...... Did the Pacific Rim Alliance hand over artillery to the militia to operate......
"That means the place where we got off is already on the front line, right?" Lao Bu's face was full of sadness.
"It's a war zone, to be exact, and there's no guarantee that the station will still be intact when we arrive."
"In short, we had to go straight into battle without heavy fire cover and without being able to pull out of formation." Ye Mazi peeled another piece of sugar, his mouth was very dry, this damn non-smoking compartment.
"It's a mess, we have another mission." Turning off the projection, Staff Officer Xiao Liu looked around at everyone with a smile that was incomprehensible.
β¦β¦
On the platform, the auxiliaries lined up in a long line, and with the guiding lights drove into the carriages in an orderly manner, if there were people who were familiar with Pegasus, he would have found that the auxiliaries did not close their equipment and leave the carriages, as the drill code stipulated, but remained directly at their posts according to the combat configuration.
"The environment in Vientiane is terrible." Prime Minister Oren sighed, if it weren't for the mysterious organization that was still hidden under the water, he would definitely stop this expedition, the tide of the Pacific Rim Alliance turned sharply, and the expeditionary force passed like this, it was like sharpening its head and burrowing into someone's pocket.
"Isn't that just right? The time and place are all right for them, and the people are also tied to our own hands and feet, so such an environment can barely be called actual combat. Zhang Aijia smiled, this is a real test of Maori's local strength, the exam questions are difficult, but she is full of confidence.
"The losses will be significant." Prime Minister Oren shook his head, in fact, he wanted to say that the price was too great, but looking at Zhang Aijia's face, he couldn't say anything.
"It's going to be bigger later." Zhang Aijia's tone was categorical, "The times are different, and in this era, we have no choice." β
Prime Minister Oren was stunned for a moment, and his face finally softened: "It's that I look like a mother-in-law." Go ahead and let our people see, Maori, how far it has grown. β
During the conversation, the last fire tower drove into the carriage, which was the last auxiliary equipment, symbolizing that the various units of the expeditionary force had finished boarding. Zhang Aijia turned around and saluted Prime Minister Oren: "I will bring victory to you." Board the bus, go. β
