Chapter 8: Feuerle

"It doesn't smell right!" The fat man frowned as he looked at the slow-moving Blood Shadow Mecha Regiment on the telescope. The disappearance of the two armored battalions made him realize that things did not seem to be under his full control, and because of this, he felt an inexplicable threat.

The Blood Shadow Mecha Regiment continued to advance, and the one hundred and twenty mechs of the front team had already crossed the Lorenzo V Bridge. The convoy in the middle is passing through one after another.

"Colonel!" Seeing that the Blood Shadow Mecha Regiment was about to enter the ambush area, Colt couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to fight?" ”

The fat man didn't answer, he looked at the electronic sand table silently, his brain was like a fast-running machine, a pair of fat hands, typing quickly on the keyboard, one by one deduction steps flipped on the screen one after another, one by one the deduction icons, like bubbles floating from the bottom of the lake, appeared on the electronic sand table.

In the headquarters of the "want to break through" Canterlot Northern Alliance, next to Selwall, a dark and thin middle-aged man, with slender and powerful fingers, gently pressed on the town of Puluo on the electronic map, with a playful smile on his dark and angular face: "The sturdy shell and sharp weapons are used to protect the softest core, but you don't understand, when you can only see the weapon in the enemy's hand, you can't win this battle!" Do you really think I'm going to send only so many troops to attack? ”

In the operational command room, the bustling military staff officers were busy at their respective posts, communicating, collecting battle situations, conducting sand table deductions, and giving orders to people coming and going without touching the ground.

Occasionally, the eyes of the staff officers would involuntarily fall on the middle-aged man in front of the huge electronic map. Without exception, all eyes are on. They were all full of respect and admiration, and there was a hint of irrepressible excitement - the battle had reached this point, and Feuerle, the military leader of the Northern Alliance, had finally taken action himself.

The bandits in Protown won't know. Among their opponents, the most powerful commander is not the commander-in-chief of the Northern Alliance Armed Forces, Selwall, nor the Colonel Chuck of the Seuss Armored Regiment, but the chief of the General Staff of the Northern Alliance Armed Forces, who has a taciturn personality and few words!

If those bandits who thought they were powerful were still intoxicated by the record of annihilating the First Assault Regiment with one hundred and twenty mechs, then there was no doubt about it. What awaits them will be a tragic defeat - anyone who does not know Feuerle has already paid the price.

At the age of sixteen, he entered the Lane Army Command College as a military exchange student between the Celeac Federation and the Republic of Lane. Five years later, I graduated with the first place in my class! At the age of twenty-eight, he accumulated military merits and became the youngest major general in the Celestial Federation. Prior to his secession from the Celestial Federation, he commanded a total of nineteen large and small battles and won eight total defeats. Six defeats and two super records with fewer wins.

And the remaining three times, under the decisive attack of the enemy's superior forces like a storm crashing on the shore. The line of defense he is responsible for commanding is like an impregnable wall!

This distant cousin of Selwall is a recognized military genius among the remnants of the Nadmik dynasty! Originally, in order to help him break away from the Celestial Federation. The Revival Society sacrificed six high-ranking agents and wielded eight merchant fleets. The mysterious defection of Firle became the biggest scandal and secret of the Silyak military.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he had served in the military in Silyak so far, then he would have already been a generation of famous generals on the list of famous generals!

His tactical thinking is simple, but no one can imitate it - collect and create every advantage and expand it infinitely.

This tactical style. Yes. It's not just experience, it's a natural talent for calculations! When the army under his command appears in front of you. You'll feel a bulldozer roaring in. The huge shovel, in the process of advancing, pushes out a hill and buries the desperate you alive!

He always does his best in silence, and when he strikes, it must be a fatal thunderous blow!

If the rise of the Northern Business Alliance is dependent on Selwall's leadership and keen political sense, then the reason why the Northern Business Alliance has not only not been weakened in countless battles, but has gradually grown! It is precisely the dependence on the military talent of Fairle. \

In the previous genre wars, Feuerle did not say a word at all in terms of specific tactical command. All operational plans and battlefield command were independently completed by the NAARC Operational Command. Aside from an understatement of the battle report, Selwall did not intervene or dictate strategy and tactics at all

Because he doesn't bother to do it!

If, with the advantages that Selwall has painstakingly accumulated over decades, and with the support of the army of the Seuss Empire, the Northern Business Alliance will not be able to defeat the three major schools, and the military staff officers of the combat command, who have been painstakingly sent to the military academies of various countries by the Fuxing Society, will simply commit suicide!

Today, however, Feuerle is standing in front of the electronic sandbox in the command room.

For the bandit army that annihilated the 1st Panzer Assault Regiment, Feuerle was to bury it himself.

On the electronic sand table in front of Feuerle, the same terrain as the fat man appeared. However, unlike the fat man's sand table, Feuerle's sand table has three more red arrows.

A detachment from the east of Puluo Town, interspersed to the northeast. The two mixed regiments of the Northern Alliance, which set out from the northern industrial zone, launched a pincer offensive against the northwest defense line of Puluo Town.

The other is moving westward from the No. 7 Resource Highway east of Puluo Town, which is six infantry regiments and two armored battalions from Xianlong Harbor! Their target is the East Sector Defence on the periphery of the Skadivo base in the eastern part of the town.

And the last one is one hundred and twenty kilometers from the right flank of the Souss armored regiment, among the mountains of the Mishan mountain range. It was a detour, a thousand Far Eastern Victory-class mechs that were inserted directly into the south of Puluo Town and towards the center!

In addition to the five armored battalions of the Blood Shadow Mecha Regiment responsible for guarding Central City, as well as the mecha regiments left behind in the major ports, the Northern Alliance this time can be said to have poured out, and all the troops near Puluo Town have been mobilized, plus the previous three-way attack. Six red arrows, like six daggers, pierced the heart of the bandits!

Defeat Puluo Town, and the bandit army will be the lost dog! Newly formed genre mutual aid alliance. It will also completely disintegrate.

"I really didn't expect that the small town of Puluo would develop so rapidly." Standing beside Feuerle, Selwall smiled and looked at the six fiery red arrows on the map, as if he had seen the end of the bandits: "If it weren't for the rival camp, I would have liked to meet the hero of Lelei." With his help, even without the alliance of the Seuss Empire, we can dominate the free world! ”

"Your goal. Is it just to dominate the free world? Feuerle gave Selwall a faint look.

"Haha." Selwall laughed and shook his head, "If it's just this goal, how can you abandon everything to stand behind me in the free world?" I just lamented for a moment the development of the bandit army, and in just a few months, they were almost beyond our control. It's amazing. ”

"Out of control?" Feuerle said expressionlessly: "Since you deliberately startled the snake, when has the bandit army's every move been out of our sight?" During this time, they are growing, and our harvest may be more, right? ”

"That's right. ==" Selwall laughed.

"A so-called Lelei hero, one hundred and twenty mechs. I just want to play tricks in the free world" Feuerle looked at the electronic map proudly and said coldly: "Them. It's too much to do. ”

"I didn't expect that," said Serwall, "they are not the vanguard of the Filipino League's intervention in the free world at all, just a bunch of lost dogs!" Within a few months of coming to the free world, and without any support behind him, he dared to play this empty glove white wolf. If they succeed, my life will be in vain! ”

Feuerle hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully, but did not speak. For Puluo Town, what he arranged was a dead end. He didn't believe that the so-called bandit army could escape the net that had been formed.

"You say," Selwall put away the smile on his face. He frowned and said, "If Chuck knew." We use them as sacrifices to contain the main forces of the bandits. Will they not"

The orderly brought two cups of coffee and placed them on the table next to Selwall and Feuerle.

Feuerle watched the orderlies leave, and said lightly: "Do I need to care about the feelings of a dead person or a loser?" ”

He turned his head and looked into Selwall's eyes: "The Suss Empire, only respect those who can be victorious. Whether this person is their own, their ally, or even their enemy! As long as we can win and face the Souss Empire, we will have a stronger voice! ”

"I shouldn't have asked, but the stakes are high," Selwall met Feuerle's gaze, "Can you make sure it's safe?" You know, until now, I haven't seen your battle plan and deduction results. He turned his head, looked at the six red arrows on the electronic sandbox, smiled and said, "Although, just looking at this, I already have enough confidence, however, I want to see the results more." ”

"Let's see." Feuerle smiled and turned on the computer deduction program.

At the start of the program, his finger swiped across the screen of the electronic sandbox.

The deduction begins. A cursor representing a combat unit appears on the virtual screen and begins to move with the program. As the deduction proceeded, the six arrows continued to advance towards the town of Puluo. The blue defense line along the way, in the extension of the red arrow, was broken through one by one.

The circular cursor on the ground on Feuerle's finger, representing the main armored regiment of the Pinchiling bandits, collided with the red arrow again and again with the movement of Felle's finger. The comprehensive combat effectiveness data that includes the equipment, quantity, and quality of soldiers of both sides changes rapidly in simulated battles.

When the circular cursor representing the main force of the bandit army completely disappeared in the consumption of the red arrows, the six red arrows were left, and only the last one remained. It also stabbed into the center of Puluo alone. And quickly rendered the map of Puluo Town into a blood-red "They have such combat power?" Selwall looked at Feuerle with an indifferent face in shock, he didn't expect that the final result of Feuerle's action was only a crushing victory. The main force of a regiment of bandits fought a five-way attack, which is too incredible.

"I'm setting up the enemy according to the strongest combat power in the intelligence." The corners of Feuerle's mouth showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth grimly: "Even if they have such combat power." But they don't have that much time! We can start playing this game all over again. ”

The deduction program was restarted and the situation was restored. And this time, Feuerle has added a time setting.

A circular cursor representing the main force of the bandits. Among the six red arrows, he rushed left and right, and tried his best to resist. However, no matter how it is done, time is passing by minute by minute. When it finally annihilated two arrowheads, the other four arrows had already entered the town of Puluo.

All the way through, all the defenses of the town of Puro. Crashed suddenly. A patch of red, rendered again on the map of Puluo, has settled.

"Look" Feuerle clapped his hands, shook off a copy of the Mars Times, and picked up the coffee on the table next to him: "War is an art. ”

The fat man's cold sweat soaked the vest.

When faced with threats, timid people are always very meticulous. When it was learned that the enemy had divided his forces. The fat man immediately suspended the ambush plan and made a deduction quickly. While quickly getting in touch with the base.

Russell had taught him that fighting a war was not child's play, and that he had memorized every mistake his commander had made in the thousands of famous battles he had memorized. All at the cost of lives.

At that time, the fat man swore that he would never become a victim of these negative teaching materials.

The results of the deduction showed that the Blood Shadow Mecha Regiment, which originally left the western area of the central city, formed two arrows that separated from each other after the division of troops. Although the total number is still the same, the enemy forces attacking Protown are no longer three-way. It's four-way!

It's more all the way and less all the way. It has a bearing on the success or failure of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign on the battlefield -- in the original battle plan, the fat man formulated a plan to destroy each of the enemy forces on the three routes. If the enemy really has only three ways. After the 3rd Regiment of S blocked the strong attack of the most combat-effective Seuss armored regiment, and defeated the other two roads, the fat man was still very confident.

No one will understand what kind of team he is leading now! As long as the defense line on the periphery of Puluo Town can hold on a little, these three enemy forces will definitely not be able to attack Puluo Town.

Now, the division of the enemy's troops, so that the three-way attack arrow, has become a four-way! Although the total number is the same, the fat man has long understood that on the battlefield, it is not the number that determines the factor.

Thirty years ago, there was such an example of a local conflict between two countries to the west of the human interstellar plan. In the face of the enemy's superior strength five times the number of troops, the commander of the ground in the battle case relied on a tactical deception to divert the enemy's main force, and then attacked the enemy's headquarters with an armored battalion, and won the war.

At that time, the armored battalion was marching less than ten kilometers from the enemy's headquarters, revealing its tracks, and encountered desperate resistance from a small number of defensive troops. However, in the end, they still made full use of the time difference in the enemy's movement and advanced in a straight line, destroying the enemy headquarters that could not be transferred in one fell swoop.

That battle example fully illustrates that intelligence is the basis of war, and shows that once the core weakness is exposed, a small number of troops can also determine the outcome of a battle!

Although the deduction is not optimistic, the fat man's mood is not depressed. After all, Russell's teachings have long made him develop the habit of leaving room when formulating battle plans. What the fat man is most worried about is that if the enemy attacks more and more way, then for the bandit army, things will be big!

The less you want, the more you come. As soon as the deduction was completed, the fat man got a message that he didn't want to hear in the contact with the base - the bandits were stationed at several observation points around Puluo Town, and the longest had not been in contact with the base for more than forty-five minutes.

As soon as he heard the news, the fat man's mind went blank, and the whole person was stunned.

These observation points are all "refugees" sent out under the banner of the bandit army. They are relatives of the bandit army and are located around all high-grade highways and resource roads within a thousand kilometers around the town of Puluo.

And within 500 kilometers, wherever mechs can pass, there are more or less such "refugee" settlements. The fat man called this monitoring system the naked eye Skynet. Under this simple and effective heavy surveillance, it is impossible for any army of a large size to approach Puluo Town silently.

Originally, such an observation point should have been very safe. The personnel at the observation point are ordinary families. In this war-torn era, such refugees are everywhere. No one cares about the existence of these people in cities, agricultural areas, industrial areas, deep mountains and old forests.

They want to avoid the eyes and ears of these people, unless, the army that is moving towards Puluo sends out sharp mechs to slaughter all the inhabitants who may expose their whereabouts along the way!

Except for madmen and demons, Fat Man doesn't think there are humans who do this.

But now, several "refugee" observation points in different circles in the same direction have disappeared at the same time!

Missing are the four refugee observation points along the 60 kilometers of the No. 7 Resource Highway in the east, two refugee observation points in the southern Calif River Agricultural Area, two observation points in the Windmill Plain, and most importantly, the Mishan Mountain Range, an observation point set up at the Mishan Pass on the road leading to the rear of the Pinqiling Mountain Range!

The fat man entered these observation point coordinates into the electronic sand table. Two lines of movement towards Puluo appeared on the sand table - two more than the four arrows!

The two enemy armored battalions under the hill, having completely passed the Lorenzo River V bridge, were maintaining a moderate speed and advancing to the southwest. The footsteps of mechs, the creaking of tracks against the road, the roar of engines, noisy and harsh. The pioneers on the two flanks at the front of the line walked almost under the noses of the ambushed bandit soldiers.

However, until the enemy passed through the ambush circle, the fat man could not give the order to attack. Sweating profusely, he stared at the electronic deduction program and repeated the deduction data again and again. He really couldn't believe that in order not to reveal his whereabouts, the enemy was so frenzied!

Except for the observation point at Mishan Pass 1760, which is a small gathering point for reclamation workers, most of the other observation points are located next to densely populated refugee gathering areas.

The fat man was trembling all over, and he could have ruled out the revelation of the identities of these observation points, and then there was only one truth left - the route of the enemy's march was a route paved with the corpses of ordinary civilians, stained red with their blood!

One will succeed in ten thousand bones and withered opponents, a damn bastard!

Loud sounds, getting quieter. The armored forces of the Northern Union came out of the ambush zone.

The bandit mecha warriors who had not been able to wait for the fat man's order gathered from all corners of the lurking area, and looked at Ranger No. 1, who had been silent in the mountains and forests at dusk, and looked at each other.

No one knows what happened, and these elites from all major schools of thought set their sights on the rightful second person of this group - Wei Jianshan.

Wei Jianshan frowned and walked in front of the fat mecha, turned over and climbed up, and then, he was fixed there.

Through the canopy, he saw that sitting in front of the center console, the fat man who was rapidly typing the keyboard raised his head, with a pair of confused and angry eyes on his expressionless face!

This is war?

War is by no means a reason to slaughter innocents and arbitrarily deprive lives!
