Chapter 154: The Knight's Battlefield (2)

In the vast forest outside the H-2 research base.

Baron Vernal was intently sketching on a digital map detailing the structure of the H-2 research base, while beside him, a dozen clone soldiers wearing the badges of the Sergeant Major stood behind him like javelins, waiting for the Baron to give the final battle order.

In order to maximize the number of people appointed by the Marquis of Timos to maximize the number of troops stationed in the Federal Army, Anse Ayer obtained the detailed architectural drawings of the thirteen bases from the Wood family, who were responsible for all the construction projects on the planet Wendini, and this important military information was also transferred to the hands of Baron Vernal through the Marquis of Timos.

In the early stages of the counteroffensive, Baron Vernal was able to capture eight bases in three days with a single regiment, and these structural drawings played a crucial role in this.

In a previous survey, Baron Vernal wanted to know the defensive firepower in the H-2 research base without alarming the garrison, but he didn't expect that the scout would be spotted by the other party just after entering the observation position. The ensuing long-range strike forced Baron Vernal to temporarily retreat, making it impossible for Baron Vernal to obtain the exact location of the defensive fire inside the H-2 base by means of on-the-spot reconnaissance.

However, with the help of this architectural diagram and the location of the flying jets in the event of a long-range strike at the H-2 base, Baron Vernal was able to roughly calculate the most important points of firepower in the base. In addition, Baron Vernal, who has experienced countless battles and returned triumphantly from the extragalactic galaxy, is definitely no less accomplished in military affairs than some famous army generals, especially in terms of defense, he has absolute self-confidence. Therefore, as soon as he began to think from the perspective of a defender commander, he immediately built up a detailed defense map out of thin air, and it was even as high as an astonishing ninety percent of the total.

"Long-range attacks don't work at all......" Baron Vernal couldn't help but frown deeply as he put aside his pen and carefully studied the defense map he had constructed.

As Robin had guessed, Baron Vernal's target was the 320-meter-high main signal tower at the H-2 base.

Without the cover of the Space Fleet, one of his regiments had no form of air support at all, and the Coalition's railguns on the space station posed a lethal threat to his forces. So far, the main reason why his troops have not suffered casualties under the threat of railguns is that the high radiation environment of Planet Wentini has completely disabled the Federation Army's space satellite system, and the large area of dense forests on Planet Wendini has become the best cover, making it impossible for the Federation Army to detect the exact location of his troops through radar equipment.

In addition, Baron Vernal's zero-cut encirclement tactics to maximize the powerful individual combat ability of the clone soldiers under his command. In dozens of battles in the past, the battle time from the battle explosion to the end of the battle often did not exceed five minutes, so even if the Federation's space monitoring center monitored the accurate location of the combat explosion, there was no way to give effective firepower reinforcements to the ground troops in the first place.

Unlike the heavily guarded Othello, the Morgan family did not build a costly circumplanetary spaceport here, so only the space station orbiting Wendini and the small number of space fleets stationed on the station could provide effective fire support to ground troops with railguns.

However, because the orbit of the space station is the same as the rotation of the planet Wendini, the area covered by the space station railgun is only the area around the equator of the planet Wendini, and the orbital period is as long as 48 hours, which makes the railgun in the space station purely a decoration. The only space fleet with a certain amount of maneuverability often takes an hour to reach the skies over the battlefield because it is not yet a 24-hour non-stop patrol, and it is difficult to play a substantive role in battle. Therefore, as long as the infantry regiment led by Baron Vernal can be fast, accurate, and ruthless, it can completely ignore the space superiority of the federal army. The clone soldiers under his command are far beyond the individual combat capabilities of the Federal Army, and the army commanders of the Federal Army are completely unable to find any countermeasures to counter Baron Vernal's wolf pack tactics.

However, all of the above advantages are not valid in front of the H-2 base where Robin is stationed, unlike other federal army garrisons, although the H-2 base is only a small base for scientific research, but its architectural structure is quite reasonable, as long as it is equipped with sufficient fortifications, there is no theoretical defensive blind spot. In addition, there is a group of knights who are no less powerful than the clone soldiers stationed in it, although the number is less than that of the knights led by Baron Vernal, but with the favorable terrain and a large number of heavy fire defense weapons, Baron Vernal is not confident that he can capture this base in an hour. Therefore, if an all-out attack is to be launched to completely eliminate the knights stationed in it, then destroying the signal tower of the base and cutting off the communication between the H-2 base and the space station has become a key problem that Baron Vernal must solve.

"A simple long-range attack will inevitably be intercepted by the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower, and our long-range firepower is seriously underequipped......" Turning his head to look at several clone soldiers who were adjusting their heavy equipment, Baron Vernal sighed helplessly.

The lack of support from the space fleet is fatal to any infantry, and while Baron Vernal's ability to rely on the Clone Warriors' individual combat ability and wolf pack tactics has greatly weakened the Union's air superiority, this stealth threat still greatly restricts his tactics.

Due to the need to keep his troops mobile, it was impossible for his soldiers to carry large quantities of heavy ranged weapons. If the battlefield is just a field battle in the jungle, then even the lack of heavy armament is not a big problem, but if you have to face a tough battle with a large number of fortifications, then the lack of heavy armament is a big problem.

There is no long-range firepower sufficient to suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, there is no air superiority, and the combat time must be controlled in a very short period of time, and so many constraints are enough to make any army commander lose confidence. But for Baron Vernal, he couldn't just retreat.

After five years of fighting in the arduous extragalactic galaxy, it was not easy to accumulate enough merits to obtain the title of Empire. However, due to his talent and lack of outstanding talent, Baron Vernal did not start cultivating his own clone army like other nobles in the empire from an early age, and coupled with his ordinary background, he could not inherit the territory and army left by his father like other hereditary nobles. Therefore, the aristocracy of Baron Vernal is only in name only. He will choose to join the Marquis of Timos, hoping to gradually build up his army with the help of the Marquis of Timos, and in order to gain the recognition of other nobles, and get the opportunity to marry other nobles to gradually establish his own hereditary family.

Therefore, helping the exotic lord of Anse El complete his plan and take over the entire planet of Wendini to make it his own is of great significance to Baron Vernal. He would never allow himself to suffer any form of failure on his first steps to glory, and he could not bear that a third-rate knight order in his eyes would become a stumbling block to his glory.

Now he has fallen into a misunderstanding that he can't extricate himself from, he doesn't think that Robin and the others stationed in the H-2 scientific research base are not his target Gemini Knights. His preconceived notions convinced him that the Knights of Gemini were stationed at the H-2 research base, and he had determined that Anse El had the Ninety-Five clone Ao95 ...
