Stephen looked at the map of the planet Lucerne and said to Libgaut with a smile: "Teacher, Russell is not exempt from vulgarity, it is still such a flowering fighter attack to hide their real landing location. ”

Libgaut shook his head lightly and said: "War tactics are not indistinguishable and elegant, and often the simpler they are, the more effective they are. He leaned his back on the sofa, looked at Stephen and said: "Let's just say detour and ambush, I'm afraid that no matter how big or small the war will always appear hundreds or thousands of times, no matter how big or small the army will use, if it is vulgar, it has been vulgar for thousands of years, but how many famous generals and genius military strategists rely on these two means to fight all over the world!" ”

Stephen smiled faintly, "That's what the teacher said. So—" he said, "where do you think they're going to land?" ”

Libgaut stood up and waved his hand: "I don't know Russell very well, his command style is often biased but meticulous, such an opponent is impossible to guess, if you follow his train of thought, it is easy to fall into his rhythm." He walked to the map and said, "There are only thirty-three cities in Lucerne, most of them in the eastern hemisphere, and if you take root in the eastern hemisphere, you will have a firm foothold." But... After all, the strategic space is vast, and it is the Western Hemisphere that has room for maneuver. ”

Stephen said, "If you were a teacher, where would you choose?" ”

Libgaut said with a smile: "I made my own deployment, don't you understand, of course I will choose to land in the Western Hemisphere, and then use extremely superior forces to break the overall defense of the Eastern Hemisphere." Although landing on the east side can achieve quick results, the cost is too great, and, with our deployment, no matter which effective landing point they choose, they will be oppressed by our army. ”

Stephen stroked his palm and smiled: "They would never have thought that half of our forces in Galileo would be concentrated here, as long as they are oppressed, they can only rely on the space fleet to continuously transport troops to add fuel to it." I'd love to see if Russell is aware of our deployment! ”

"Never despise your opponent, perhaps, not only does he know your deployment, he thinks further than you. The landing is just our first battle, and if Russell can't even get past this level, I won't need to be here. ”

***************

The fat man stared at the interstellar map with grief and indignation, his eyes did not squint and cold sweat broke out, just now, as soon as the miniature headset in his ear was activated and the eavesdropper was connected, there was a piercing alarm sound in the entire command room, and the heavily armed guards rushed in to search the entire command room.

Didn't Milan say that this hearing cutter had just been developed, could it be that the new detector for this type of hearing cutter in Boswell's hand was installed here! It's not like this if the passing years are not good, isn't this driving people to a dead end, the slut bit his lip tightly, his heart was like a knife, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Eventually, Russell spotted the hearing cutter in his pocket, gave him a strange look at the fat man on the side, and waved his hand to get the guards out. He walked up to the fat man and smiled, "Do you see what's wrong?" The fat man shook his head and said, "Just such a little information, the team has not yet started, how can I see that you are sure you are not playing with me?" ”

Russell was amused by the fat man, and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm playing with you, how many people in this academy can sit in this position and be played!" The fat man shook his head and said, "Those guys are idiots. After thinking about it, he sighed and said, "I'm a fucking idiot too." ”

Russell gave him a strange look and said, "Being able to see the strategic deployment through the clues is the best way to protect yourself in war, you can make judgments before danger comes, and avoid it in advance." You should cherish such learning opportunities. ”

The fat man said with a sad face: "I cherish it, but whether it is dangerous or not, I will stay away, isn't it stable?" He turned his head to look at Russell and said, "Why is it that the troops that landed in the first phase this time are not supported by follow-up troops, how can they stand firm without a point of view?" Russell laughed, "If I told you, what else do I want you to deduce." Once you have mastered so many explanations and theoretical foundations of war examples, you must learn to apply them and look at the overall situation in a comprehensive way. ”

After speaking, Russell turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the fat man behind him say, "How many days do I have left?" Russell shook his head and said, "Don't try to get anything out of me!" "The fat man is desperate, this Russell has cultivated to the point where all poisons do not invade the iron mouth and steel teeth.

************

Under the cover of air-based fighters, the first landing force soon achieved a full-scale landing, and the first to come into contact with the enemy was the 4th Regiment of the 16th Armored Division of the Aviation Marine Corps.

They were ordered to be airdropped to one of the enemy's medium-sized logistics bases. After a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, which lasted nearly six hours, this logistics base was largely destroyed by the Fourth Regiment, which began an orderly retreat before the arrival of support from the Emperor [***].

*****************

Libgaut looked at the battle map with a solemn face, and Stephen on the side finally couldn't help but say: "Teacher, what does Russell want to do, air raids are blooming everywhere in an unfocused manner, and the same is true for landings, where will their force expansion department be?" ”

Seeing that Lieb Gott was silent, Stephen analyzed: "Since they dare to carry out the landing in the east, there are only two possibilities, one is to underestimate our troops, and the other is to find a place that is sufficient to support them to establish a solid defense line and accommodate the follow-up troops. He said suspiciously: "However, judging from the battle reports on the front, our army found a total of six landing troops in different locations, and there was an exchange of fire, four of which took the initiative to attack our army, but none of them were the main force of the enemy, all of them were regimental troops to harass, Russell wants to muddy this basin of water?" ”

Libgaut looked up, smiled at Stephen and said, "So what do we do?" Stephen slapped his palm with his right fist and said, "Respond to all changes with no change!" The six most important strategic cities and three strategic key areas are in our hands, and they are also heavily fortified, no matter how much they make trouble, there is no way to shake us, as long as we find their real landing point, we can trap them in place! ”

****************

On the Lucerne planet map, the entire eastern hemisphere was stirred up by more than 20 landing sites of the Federation team attacking everywhere, the fat man's brows became more and more wrinkled, you know, the current Garileo galaxy is not the only world of the Federation, as long as the Imperial fleet turns around, all the aircraft carriers can be transferred, and at that time, these more than 20 landing sites without support may be wiped out by the enemy one by one.

Several important strategic cities and strategic points were marked out by the fat man one by one, and the messy landing form that had nothing to do with these locations made the fat man unable to understand.

His gaze naturally moved to the location of the 16th Armored Division.

***********

The 16th Armored Division has been fighting for a day and a night, and since the guys of the Fourth Regiment sneaked up on other people's logistics bases and ran back, the pursuers have been constantly pouring towards the E707 and E710 defense lines where the Special Reconnaissance Regiment is stationed. Then it was all the way back, and several regiments of the surrounding fan-shaped defensive line were also attacked by more and more imperial troops, and the retreating regiments of the 16th Division established blocking points in stages according to the coordinates instructed by the division commander Zhou Zhisen.

Repelling the wave of attacks from the Imperial mechs again, Rashid couldn't help but ask Nadal on the communication channel: "Commander, it's been more than forty hours, why hasn't our follow-up troops arrived yet?" ”

Nadal said: "Don't nonsense, fight hard, the front finger has the arrangement of the front finger, and our task is to drag them down step by step!" Rashid said: "Damn, dare to love that we are not landing strikers, we are bait!" Nadal said with a smile: "You ask the division commander to go about this, anyway, I know so much, and the follow-up troops must have it!" Rashid said: "I said how to put the self-propelled guns of the two regiments in the B1209 area after 300 kilometers, the division commander must have arranged for us to drag and fight like this." Everyone shrank all the way to the B-line arming. Nadal said angrily: "You don't have much ability and a lot of nonsense, just be smart, hurry up, the enemy on your side is coming up again." ”

Once again, the Special Reconnaissance Group exchanged fire with the swarming Imperial troops, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

*****************

The increasing number of attack points made Libgault a little confused, at this time, a coordinator came over, saluted and handed Stephen a battle report, Stephen opened it, frowned and said to Libgaut: "A federal armored division has penetrated straight into Mount Amayo!" Troops along the way are moving troops to block the attack. ”

"Amayo!" Libgaut muttered, "How useful can an armored division be, they can't take Mount Amayo." ”

*************

The fat man saw the march route of the 1st Armored Division of the Union Army in the front left position of the 16th Division, and they were directly inserted into the strategic position of Mount Amayo.

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he vaguely understood Russell's combat intentions, and at this time, the news of the completion of the boarding of the second stage of the landing force came from the command terminal.

The fat man once again fell into contemplation, where will the second stage of landing be placed?

**************

The Federation forces on the map were driven around by the Emperor [***], and the whole planet was thrown into chaos, and these Federation landing forces were like panicked rabbits, jumping back and forth, panicking, and some of the troops fled in the direction of even the Empire's heavily guarded positions.

Stephen smiled and looked at Libgaut who was frowning and contemplative, he felt that there was no need to worry too much about it now, after all, the planet Lucerne concentrated half of the forces of the Imperial Army stationed in the Galileo system, and the enemy could not afford to make any waves if he was forced to drop ten times!

******************

When the fat man saw that the third stage of the landing force had begun to gather, his vague thoughts began to become clear, and he calmed down and began to use the computer to deduce.

Russell stood beside the fat man, looking at the guy with a puzzled look at the strange symbols drawn on the map, and then quickly came up with the data and entered it into the computer, a good map was drawn by him messy, such a deduction Russell had never seen before, but according to the fat man's deduction data, his thinking was very clear.

*****************

"What? Massive landing of the Federal Landing Force in the Western Hemisphere! Stephen looked at the battle report, thought for a long time, suddenly laughed, and said to Liebgotte: "Russell finally knows the deployment of our forces, he gave up the landing operation in the eastern hemisphere and turned to the western hemisphere. ”

Libgaut finally finished thinking about it, looked up and smiled: "If he landed in the Western Hemisphere, he would have made a mistake, he shouldn't have given up the east so quickly." ”

*******************

The fat man raised his head and exhaled, only to find that Russell was looking at him with a smile, and the fat man rolled his eyes and said, "What are you doing!" ”

Russell laughed, "Looks like you've come to a conclusion." The fat man said: "If I don't know what you think when I see the news of the third stage of the landing force gathering, then it's too stupid!" Russell said, "Oh? Let's hear it. The fat man proudly pointed to the map of the planet Lucerne and said: "Usually the landing operation is to have the vanguard force gain a firm foothold, and the follow-up troops take turns to land to consolidate and expand the occupied area, and finally form a rear combat mode, but from the first stage of landing, I found a problem. It stands to reason that the Federation's transport support capacity is enough to put more troops into Lucerne at the same time, why don't you do this, not only are all the troops in the first stage scattered, but there is no follow-up force to support them, and you even let these troops constantly provoke wars! ”

Bernadotte also heard the conversation between the two and walked over with interest and asked, "Then why do we do this?" ”

The fat man said angrily: "You misled me from the beginning! You're not landing at all! This is simply a large-scale attack delivered from a long distance! There is no rear, the rear is on the planet Miloc, here! You are so despicable, this is simply an airdrop attack behind enemy lines that has been expanded countless times over. ”

Russell smiled: "That's right, you continue, but we didn't mislead you at first, and let you see not the landing plan, but the strategic plan." ”

The fat man opened his mouth, as if they really didn't let themselves only focus on the landing, sighed in vain, and the fat man continued: "You have taken advantage of the gap that the empire does not know the specific projection capabilities of the Federation, and the role of the first landing force is to involve the enemy's forces and advance by retreating!" The troops of the Gachalin Empire in the east were withdrawn through local battles to lure them to attack, and the seemingly chaotic escape of the landing force was actually planned a long time ago, and now the enemy's attention must have been attracted by the landing force sent to the west in the second stage, they did not expect that the landing in the west was only part of the plan, and the real heavy blow was the third stage of the landing force beyond the expectations of the empire! ”

Russell nodded, "Then where will the landing site of the third stage be?" ”

"Here! Elephant Mountain! The fat man decisively pointed to this strategic point on the map and said: "The troops of the 1st Armored Division along the Amayo Mountain have been attracted by the 16th Division, their target is not actually the Amayo Mountain, they are also decoys, attracting troops along the Xiangshan Mountain within 200 kilometers to besiege them, and other troops who seem to be fleeing are also disrupting the situation, however, their activities are always in regiments, that is, they can cross cover and gather together at any time by breaking their tails, The closest of these troops was only 300 kilometers away from Xiangshan, and the farthest was only 600 kilometers, and when they were gathered, they became a sharp knife, which could go straight to Xiangshan after the 16th Division and the 1st Army Division took turns to attract each other's forces. As long as the Elephant Mountain is taken, it will be like a nail being hammered in the east, and with the landing in the west, the deployment of the defenders of the Lucerne Empire will be completely disrupted! ”

Russell smiled and clapped his hands: "Yes, you are right, this is not a simple landing, but a large-scale multi-point airdrop strike in the name of landing." Using the Federation's most powerful group projection capability, in a time beyond the enemy's imagination, all the troops that were originally airdropped in a point-to-area manner and took more than two weeks were delivered within three days! The first stage is to stir up, the second is to attract, and the third is to strike. But..."Russell's face was blank: "Without a land-based air force, once the space fleet engages, what will these landing forces use to ensure defense?" ”

The fat man pursed his lips and said, "Stop playing, what is the Ninth Armored Division doing in such a large area?" Can a third more transport ships be used in the second stage of the airdrop? Moreover, as long as the offensive of the troops in the Western Hemisphere progresses smoothly, the remaining twenty cities of the enemy can be divided and encircled from the outside in. ”

Bernadotte and Russell looked at each other and smiled, "Good! It looks like you've got a high level of judgment and are ready to take on the next step! ”

The fat man was stunned: "The next task?" Where to go? ”

"Behind enemy lines!"

**********

Libgaut looked at the map carefully, his face suddenly became solemn, the troops of the Federation had begun to gather under the cover of cross-cover, and he ordered: "Immediately order to abandon the attack on the enemy forces on Line B and Mount Amayo, and go all out to return to the aid of Elephant Mountain!" ”
