Chapter 16: Breakthrough (II)
Thank you to General Leefer on my behalf. â
In the Partitt Clubhouse, which is only for the top elite and wealthy to gather, Robert raised his legs lightly, looked at the check on the blue and white checkered tablecloth, and said leisurely while stirring the coffee in the cup: "He is so polite." â
The moving music, melodious in the luxurious and warm room, is just like Kerry's mood at this time.
The proposal for the bandit army has already been formalized and is 32 pages long, and a special meeting will be held in the near future to discuss it. If it goes well, the final decision will be made in less than a month.
In the past few days, this matter has caused a stir among the top leaders of the Filipino League. Naturally, Kerry became the center of everyone's attention. For a politician who stands out in a political family, there is nothing more pleasant.
At the end of the music, in the silence of the moment, a middle-aged man sitting opposite Kerry smiled slightly: "Mr. Kerry, this matter has nothing to do with General Liver. These are just a gift from some of the people who look up to you, Mr. Kerry. As for General Leefer, he was only determined to kill the enemy. â
"Determined to kill the enemy," Kerry's eyes flashed, he lowered the coffee cup in his hand, and sighed, "General Liverford is a model soldier." Such an amazing figure has been suppressed by the Command for so long, if it weren't for the voice of the people, he wouldn't be able to show his skills until now, hey, change to the parliament to lead, where could such a thing happen! â
Middle-aged man: Laughing, not talking.
Kerry glanced at the middle-aged man and changed the subject: "The laughing thing is that the Leray people cover their ears and steal the bell." Who doesn't know that the so-called genre mutual aid alliance is actually a disguise. They dare to play this hand snake swallowing elephant is still Russell's Le Lei fleet that 'went through a lot of hardships and died to break through the siege'. â
"Mr. Kerry, though he is outside the battlefield, is observant." The middle-aged man exclaimed.
The middle-aged son's name is Alex Beale.
Although he was open. Just the head of the Political Department of the Dalapeya Military District. But the whole of Feiyang knew. Gambier. It is one of the most relied on think tanks of Li Fodi, and he is the spokesperson of Li Fodi. It's almost an open secret. Gambier had never intended to keep such a secret. Li Fo didn't think about it either.
In Fiyan. There are many soldiers with the mark of Li Buddha engraved on their bodies. They also never wanted to hide their identities.
It's glory for them.
Gambier to Kerry such a politician. There was nothing good about it.
And Li Fo. to the United Parliament. There is no good feeling either. Cooperation between the two parties. It is only a temporary convergence of interests.
Whether in the eyes of Li Fo or Gambier, the last thing that needs to exist in this war may be these politicians who have not achieved enough to defeat and more than to lose.
At the beginning, Leray fought Gacha Lindsik alone, and fought the combined forces of Suss and Jeppen, which was called a tragedy. In addition to condemning it, the United Parliament of the Filipino Alliance sent people to protest at the Supreme Council of Mankind, which has not completely closed its doors, what did it do?!
Countries do not want to get involved in the war first, and these politicians in the Coalition Parliament of the Filipino Alliance are even more deaf and dumb.
The Union Parliament is the supreme authority of the Alliance.
As early as hundreds of years ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the Philippine League, in order to avoid the entanglement of the interests of various countries, the Philippine League established a joint parliamentary system.
The Parliament is divided into two chambers.
The representatives of the lower house are all sent by various countries, while the representatives of the upper house are free members, who are only responsible to the Philippine Union and do not represent the interests of any country. The upper and lower houses are independent and check each other. The proposal of the House of Commons is submitted to the House of Lords after it has passed the minimum number of votes in favor of the House of Commons. The proposals of the free members of the upper house were also voted on by the upper and lower houses.
In the course of several hundred years of cooperation between the Filipino Alliance, a complete set of systems has been formed, whether it is legislative governors, economic consultations, military and security cooperation, or approval decisions on personnel and budgets of various countries.
In general, despite all the ills, the joint parliament has played a great role in the integration of the member states of the Filipino League. However, that is all peacetime. When the war came, the members of parliament were obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm.
Before the outbreak of all-out war, parliament was extremely chaotic.
As early as the beginning of Le Ray's invasion by Gacharin, there was a far-sighted voice calling for the immediate lifting of the restrictions on the military budgets of the Filipino countries and to clear the way for the Filipino countries to prepare for war.
This restriction ordinance was drafted three hundred years ago. After the fall of the Nademiya Dynasty, the rapidly expanding Filipino Alliance, in order to strengthen its control over its member states and to unify military and security cooperation closer, formulated regulations limiting military budgets, limiting the size of armies, and prohibiting countries from mobilizing for war on their own.
This regulation was not wrong at the time. In the face of the confrontation in the West, the parliament conducts an annual assessment of the West's military strength to formulate a unified military security strategy. In this way, we will not only avoid insufficient military strength, but also avoid wasting resources and falling into an arms race with Spain because of the countries doing their own thing.
At that time, the Western Covenant also had the same regulations. However, as early as thirty years ago, this ordinance was repealed by the Western Covenant.
After the outbreak of the Le Ray War, many people realized that the Filipino League could no longer imprison their hands and feet.
But the voices of these people did not even ripple in the parliament. Members of the House of Commons are cautiously watching on behalf of the ruling parties and governments of various countries. The upper courtyard was noisy. Most parliamentarians are reluctant to relinquish power to member states for fear of losing their influence. They preferred to believe that Western would not dare to go to war brazenly.
This situation continued until the outbreak of war!
Until the Republic of Fiyan, the Republic of Lane, the Republic of Chakna and other members of the Filipino League have declared war on the countries of the Western Covenant, until the unprepared members of the Fijian League have lost their armor in the face of the powerful offensive of the Western Covenant. Only then did the parliament pass bills one after another, acknowledging that it was at war, lifting restrictions on the various powers, and authorizing the presidents of various countries to mobilize in times of war.
This is purely a fart with your pants off. At that time, the Western media ridiculed this.
"The countries of the Filipino Alliance finally can't wait for their slow parliamentary mandate. I don't know if in a state of war should be counted from the day when the countries declared war on their own, or from the day when the parliament passed the resolution, there is a gap of a week in between! It's a mess. â
This time, the members of parliament who coaxed the cow were a disgrace.
Nominally, the Union Parliament is also the supreme authority of the Filipino Union. But in the war after that, there was basically nothing to do with them. The Supreme High Command, which was transformed into the Governing Council, another authority of the Filipino League, and the Coalition Command jointly established by governments and the military
most of the power. Not only the military aspect, but also other <
For a lawmaker like Kerry, there is nothing saddier than losing influence.
For hundreds of years, the Coalition of the Filipino League, the party governments of various countries in the lower house, and the free members of the upper house, have formed countless communities of interest because of various forces. Among them, there is the cooperation and confrontation between the interests of the mega-corporations and the chaebols, as well as the interests of political families like Kerry.
Kerry's father, grandfather, great-great-grandfather was a free member of the United Parliament. The United Council is the source of all the strength of the Kerry family. And now, this source is slowly drying up.
They also want to take back power, and they also want to get into the decision-making level of the war and dominate the war.
But there was a majestic mountain in front of them that they could not climb - Hastings!
The High Command listens to Hastings, the command listens to Hastings, and the people listen to Hastings, and even many members of Parliament have almost blind trust in Hastings.
The influence of the god of war, who single-handedly created a reign of thirty years, is enough to make the entire United Council pinch its nose and agree with all his decisions!
However, pinching the nose is only temporary. Some of Kerry's jumping up and down lawmakers don't want to suffocate themselves.
Even the Hastings want to fight!
In their opinion, Hastings is after all, a soldier who can fight should go to the front line and take care of the war. The loss of the Union's dominance over the Filipino Union is a step backwards for democracy!
They have been looking for an opportunity, and lately, with the defeat of the Filipino League in various theaters, there has been a lot of noise about Hastings. Hastings remained silent, refusing to give any direction on the outcome of the battle.
And at this time, the Battle of the Growing Bow apparently gave the Kries a good excuse. The first step they want to do is to use this as an opportunity to form a decision to influence the affairs of the army.
Then, they will climb up the pole, step by step to expand their influence and make more proposals. Let the member states and the generals understand that the power of the joint parliament is still there!
If they don't want to be the second Le Ray Federation, and if they don't want their spoils to be taken away for some reason, then they should bow their proud heads to the great councillors.
Gambier took a leisurely sip of coffee. He just handed the topic to Kerry, and Kerry couldn't wait to jump out. This made him very satisfied. He hates these politicians though. However, he did not want power to be concentrated too much in Hastings's hands.
Besides, looking at Kerry's current appearance, he is obviously very interested in wooing Li Fo.
If you want to challenge Hastings, you can't leave the army! The words of a high-ranking general with a heavy army are more effective than a hundred powerless parliamentarians!
The two men listened to the music tacitly, and the question of who gave the check on the table did not continue. Anyway, there is still time in the future.
"By the way, I forgot to say a bad news" Gambier put down his coffee cup, drooped his eyes, and said nonchalantly: "I heard that the spaceship of Major General Lelei named Tian Xingjian has crashed in Canglang Star." It's so sad. â
"Really?!" Kerry was stunned and couldn't help but sit up straight.
Seeing Gambier nodding, the corners of his mouth showed a knowing smile: "It's a pity." â
Without this de facto leader of the bandits, I'm afraid that the exile of Mars's gang would not have much loyalty to Russell. These criminals, liars, thieves, never speak of morality and principles. As long as they are given enough price, there is nothing they dare not sell! If you send someone over at this time, contact the elders of the Mutual Aid Alliance, and let them choose between Russell and the United Council, I'm afraid there will be no suspense.
The means are nothing more than coercion and temptation.
They also don't want to think that the Coalition Council will sit back and watch an uncontrolled force grow to such an extent?!
If they make a choice, then the ownership of the two elephant-class fleets will naturally be determined. Russell, with the few remnants of the fleet in his hands, can't afford to make any waves!
"General Li Fo, are you interested?" Kerry suddenly felt that the check he had just put in his arms seemed to be missing a zero. The Coalition cannot directly lead the military, but it is their specialty to be sold at a price. Where to send these two fleets to be enriched, the council naturally has a great say!
"It has nothing to do with General Liver." Gambier reminded Kerry again and said lightly: "I heard that Admiral Fisichella is under more pressure. Perhaps, the Lerays should think more about their current situation. At this time, the parliament is naturally invincible. â
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Sir, B239 position lost"
The report of the temporary command center, the former staff officer of the Skynet console straightened up and trembled, which made the hearts of everyone in front of the deduction map cold.
"What about the four regiment reserves?" Pei Litong, the commander of the 13th Armored Division of Feiyang, stared at his bloodshot eyes and hoarseness: "Tell the commander of the fourth regiment, Colonel Adams, no matter what, you want to take back the position for me!" Now is not the time for us to meet God! â
"Yes, sir!"
Turning his gaze back from the staff officer who sent the information, Pei Litong looked at the battle plan on the deduction platform with a bitter face, and drew a big cross with the electronic pen in his hand.
The deduction plan quickly disappeared, and only the wooded mountains on the deduction stage remained.
The red-eyed staff officers looked gloomy. Balmer, commander of the 51st Infantry Division, hung his head and knew what he was thinking. And the old marshal Li Cunxin put his chin on the marshal's battle and stayed on the map.
This is already the eighth battle plan that has been killed.
It is not at the level of the General Staff that the bottom is really a war situation, and it has reached the point of no return.
The first line of defense has completely lost the second line of defense, and it is also in danger at this moment. And the remaining three-fifths of the strength of the two divisions is a complete pipe dream to break through the enemy's heavy encirclement in the middle of these mountains. To the south is the Karachi River, while to the west is the hot spring town of Kraft to the northwest, which has been killed by the enemy
At present, the Jeppen Army, with a total strength of four divisions, is being compressed from the east and northeast. As long as the second line of defense is broken, the third line of defense being built has only a few hills, and it will definitely not be able to stop the tide of enemies. The 13th and 51st Divisions will be wiped out by the Karachi River!
"Defense is the stupidest way to go." Marshal Li Cunxin stood up, tapped the electronic deduction table with the marshal's staff, blew his beard and glared: "After discussing for a long time, you still haven't understood?" â
"However, Your Excellency Marshal" Pei Litong and Balmer ignored each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "We have no chance to break through." â
"How do you know if you don't try?" Li Cunxin snorted angrily and squinted his eyes: "Why did the Chakner Army become a bunch of wrecks in your generation?" Back then, one regiment broke through the encirclement of two divisions! â
Pei Litong and Barr's faces turned red, embarrassed and unconvinced.
The old man's marshal staff pointed to a valley leading to Hot Springs Town: "We still have troops, and we can still gather an armored regiment and two brigades." As long as we move fast and play resolutely, we will have a chance to break through the hot spring town, even if this opportunity is only 1 in 10,000, it is worth fighting! â
The Marshal's Staff moved north. "The mountainous north is a vast mountainous area with complex terrain and a large number of towns scattered throughout. As long as it passes, if the Jeppen people don't mobilize twenty armored divisions, they won't even want to touch our shadow! If you don't make up your mind now, how long are you still prepared to be indecisive, and will you not make up your mind until the soldiers have thrown their lives on the stupid position?! â
"Remember, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all military operation." The old man knocked the stage: "This is war. In war, allow the impossible to live! Every victory is a fight, not a thought out! â
"Every victory is played out of thinking: come and wait" Pei Litong and Balmer chewed Li Cunxin's words, and suddenly, Daigo was empowered.
"Order" stood up and gritted his teeth and roared.
The staff officers around him were collectively upright, and their eyes were blazing.
"The General Staff immediately carried out the programmatic operation. All the troops, after leaving the broken rear team, withdrew from the second-line positions in batches, and the reserves immediately set up blocking positions in the third line of defense to respond. The whole army reorganized the Fulong Gorge and moved towards the hot spring town. The 2nd Panzer Regiment left ahead of schedule and must arrive at Hot Springs before dawn to complete preparations for the attack. Attack at seven o'clock in the morning. Be hidden along the way! â
"Yes!" The staff officers received the order and dispersed.
Although Pei Litong's body was still as tall as before after giving the order, only he knew that all the strength of his body was consumed in this desperate order.
He stared blankly at the hot spring town. No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end. Unless, the two Jeppen armored regiments stationed there were made of tofu scum, otherwise, it would not be possible to break through in four hours. In more than four hours, the pursuers behind him will follow one after another. At that time, even the gods will not be able to save this army.
It's a place of death and then life!
In a trance, he and Balmer vaguely heard the words in the mouth of the old marshal Li Cunxin.
"God bless ancestors, ancestors bless!"
By the time the kid and two hundred and twenty Chuckner captives rushed to the front of the line, the battle was over.
With the cooperation of the two mechs, the fat man and the others who counterattacked the enemy's position did not even let go of a few self-propelled guns. None of the Jeppen soldiers who fled in all directions escaped the net.
The whole valley after the surprise of the Chakna warriors joined the division, and the joy was thundering.
"From here, descending the hill, we can go around to the back of the 2nd Panzer Regiment of the 172nd Panzer Division of Jeppen. They divide their forces along the way to attack the second line of defense, as long as we move quickly: before their 2811 Infantry Division comes up, cut through their line of attack, and join our main army! â
On the Jie Peng attack position, the fat man was sweating profusely repairing the four captured [Toyama] mechas. Shen Ming and another bandit mechanic were on the side to help. The officers gathered around the fat man, analyzing the route of the breakout pointed out by the little kid. All around, the soldiers were collecting ordnance and supplies, and several gunshots were heard in the distance, which were soldiers executing prisoners.
The officers and soldiers did not even raise their heads when they heard the gunshots.
The current situation does not allow for the carrying of prisoners, and no one will be relenting at this time. This is a war to the death, the execution of prisoners, for these soldiers, it is not a matter in the first place.
Besides, everyone knows that in the last attack, eight bandit soldiers, including two mechanics, were killed, which has completely angered all the bandit soldiers, and now, these rookies have red eyes when they look at anyone.
The fat man didn't bother to shoot the prisoners. Although he cherished life, he cherished his own life and the life of his own people. Playing a black hand on the enemy, that's his forte. The personality of the bandit army ~ çŠćż æ„ was originally influenced by him. In this army, every warrior is a brother of flesh and blood. Everyone is not a gentleman's friend who walks out together, but a life and death in the bloody battles that are desperate again and again.
They are all a gang of lawless bandits and robbers, whoever dares to kill one of them, they can level their entire family and ancestral grave! What kind of legal mercy is a fart for a bandit warrior who grew up in the law of the jungle in Mars.
Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself and one's comrades! They understood this when they were three years old. The second stunned man preached morality to the enemy.
~ Picking up the shell patch of the last mech, the fat man took off his automatic maintenance arm exhausted, took a cigarette lit by Markwich, and took a puff before squatting down and staring at the projected map.
The several breakout routes drawn by the butt were like a mess, winding around the mountains behind enemy lines. He also listened to the officers' deliberations for a long time.
He is not worried about how many enemies he encounters on the road, what he is worried about is what role he can play after cutting through the enemy's line of attack and joining forces with the main force! Judging from the situation map of Jiepeng Skynet, the current Chakner Army is the meat bun in the dog's mouth. The back road was blocked, and the only way to build a position was to use the hills.
Such a style of play is just consumption.
Even if there is a defense of the position, a point advantage in the terrain, but Jeppen
The numerical advantage is simply too great. Besides, no matter how high they are, they can't be high, and although these positions seem to be firmly holding back the advance route of Jeppen's main force, in fact, they are clearly the enemy's targets.
Lying in the pit and pouting the taste of being shot, the fat man can't hold his urine even if he thinks about it.
Without a hard attack, just by using firepower to cover and precision strikes by fighters, the Jeppen army can steadily push the Chakner army to a desperate road. And the commander of the opposing side, apparently, did just that. Jeppen's attack arrows echoed each other, steady and steady, like a bulldozer, thick and solid. Didn't leave a chance!
The fat man's gaze crossed the area of engagement and looked hundreds of kilometers away at the upper reaches of the Karachi River.
In the west, northwest and north, the three agricultural towns of Lower Star Fort, Hot Springs, and Kraft were like three nails nailed to the route of the main force of Chakna's army to the northern mountains. The three towns were each garrisoned by two armored regiments. Judging from the Jeppen Skynet system, the Jeppen people have completed the fortifications and are ready to wait for the main Chakner to collide with each other.
The fat man took a puff of cigarette butts and lit gunpowder fuses, burning down like iron buckets, and it was really difficult to find a way to survive.
Lao Tzu's life, why can't he live such a hard life! The fat man threw the cigarette butt hard and stood up
The eyes of the surrounding soldiers lit up. I was guessing what good idea the fat man could come up with, but when I saw that he asked Markwich for a cigarette to light again, he squatted down with his head wilted, and continued to look at the map and sighed.
What to do? Invade Skynet to modify the command and divert the tiger from the mountain?
This thought only flashed in his mind, and it was rejected by the fat man: .
Although the butt can invade Skynet, gain insight into Jiepeng's mobile deployment, and modify the command, that's another matter.
Those staff officers sitting in front of the net are not inflatable dolls. If an army deviates from the established line, it will immediately arouse the alarm of the combat staff. Not only will it not help, but you may lose your biggest card because of it!
Butt is artificial intelligence, a god. The reason for the invasion of Jeppen Skynet was because of the identification device in the wreckage of the enemy's mecha. Once the Jeppen activates the backup password system, it will take a lot of time for the butt to break through the defenses! Intelligence always comes first. A small detachment that has lost its source of intelligence, in the midst of a heavy enemy army, will encounter what miserable things
The fat man shivered with straight eyes, shook his cheeks and shook his head, Lao Tzu was peeking at the opponent's hole cards, but he couldn't let people show it. Be confidential!
It's quiet. The fighters have completed the clearing of the battlefield and are assembled and ready to stand.
In addition to a large number of guns, there are also portable energy cannons and missile launchers, a mountain off-road energy supply vehicle and a mecha maintenance vehicle. In addition, there are four intact self-propelled guns, a transport mech, a large amount of energy ammunition and food and medicine.
Coupled with the four mechs captured and the weapons collected from the corpses of the battlefield, it was more than enough to arm the two hundred and sixty men. As far as the eye can see, whether it is a Chakner warrior or a bandit soldier, all of them are full of weapons, and they are simply armed to the teeth. There are unwanted things thrown around the ground in a mess.
Tattered firearms, Jeppen flags, empty cans, boxes, and bundles of Jeppen uniforms, boots, cooking utensils, etc., pulled out of the transport mech
The fat man in uniform looked at the corpses of the Jeppen soldiers around him, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and a vague thought came to mind.
He turned his head and lay on the ground to look at the map carefully. The finger slowly moved along the valley of the electronic map, through the second line of defense, all the way to the west, and then to the north, until the hot spring town.
An idea that gradually took shape.
"To what extent has the Skynet system of your division been compressed," the fat man turned his head to look at Lieutenant Colonel Anthony: "If we want to contact them, which position do we have to reach?" â
Anthony pointed to the map and said, "We don't know the exact location of the division. However, in this part of our position, the signal is already relatively weak. According to the distribution of anti-detection annunciators at the division headquarters and the speed of the enemy's advance, we must go within two kilometers of the second line of defense before it is possible to get in touch with the division headquarters. â
"Two kilometers!" The fat man gritted his teeth and looked at the map, his mind racing.
Since you can't destroy the other party's Skynet from the outside, then Lao Tzu will blend in!
More than 200 people, exactly the number of people left after the Jeppen battalion took the position! Jeppen's weapon, Jeppen's uniform, and Jeppen's mecha are calculated and adjusted to the satellite, and there are no flaws in it. Besides, Butt controls Skynet. It is suitable for Lao Tzu to fish in troubled waters.
Buzz, Infantry, Monson, Kozmo, Mountbatten, Weatherier, Dragon, Hargrove, Wagstaff plus themselves, exactly ten people. Let's get some mechs and turn him upside down!
Now, on the road ahead of him is a battalion of the 172nd Panzer Division of Jeppen.
This battalion was to go up as a reserve. The order was given to take over the front of the Jeppen armored battalion at dawn tomorrow and attack the second line of defense. In other words, these guys will be stationed and resting carefree tonight - it is simply a good piece of meat to the mouth.
"How many mecha warriors are there here?!" The fat man asked.
Anthony glanced at the warriors around him and said, "One hundred and twenty-two." They were all mecha fighters of the 13th Armored Division, and many of them were captured when the position was captured because they did not have mechs when they were attacked. â
The fat man's gaze stared at the hot spring town, and he quickly calculated it in his heart.
One hundred and twenty-two. Add yourself these ten, and that's one hundred and thirty-two.
The number of a whole armored reinforced company, and more than a hundred infantry can carry out coordinated operations.
Originally, I came by myself just to find a way to rescue Boswell and Milan, but now that there are so many people, it is impossible to be alone. If you fight hard and succeed, you may be able to break out of your life.
He jerked his knee and stood up.
People die and birds face the sky, and they don't die for thousands of years, it's done!
Ask for a commuter pass!
