Chapter 24: Blitzkrieg (7)
The streets of Phoenix have become empty. With the exception of a few citizens who had nowhere else to go and could only pray for the end of the war, only a small number of guards remained in the entire city.
Maybe it's not accurate to use the word guard, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it's just one or two machine infantry regiments. Not even a corner of the outskirts of the city could be guarded. It is not so much that these troops are left to defend against enemy attacks, but rather to maintain order in Phoenix, or simply exist to prove that the city is still in control.
The townspeople did not know about the plans of the military. They just looked silently at the empty streets, and at the equally empty trenches and fortifications on the outskirts of the city. There seemed to be a constant stream of Allied troops in front of him. It seems to be watching the energetic young men lining up in their camps, basking in the sun on the edge of the trenches. Look curiously around the street.
Now, they're all gone, gone. It's like a castle with reassuring walls torn down. People stood in the castle, looking at the familiar and strange wilderness, and everyone's hearts were empty.
In just a few hours, this. The city is already undefended!
No one knows where the troops are going, and no one knows what the future of the city is. All you know is that something big must have happened. There must also be somewhere, there is a big war.
The marrow of fate has been thrown and swirled. He refused to stop.
Helpless people can only look around in prayer. After the dust settled, at the end of the road, there was a triumphant troop of its own troops, or the ugly and hideous mecha of the Seuss.
Tonight, no one sleeps.
Contrary to the empty city streets, the front army headquarters at this moment is already overcrowded.
The explosive expansion of Skynet has brought an explosive increase in personnel. Not to mention that the members of the command headquarters who had nothing to do were now moved, Chen Fengxi also ordered the transfer of nearly 400 staff officers from various divisions. Plus guards, electronic troops, communications troops. Engineers, the original auction hall hall is already undecently crowded.
All kinds of sounds mingled together, turning this originally deserted place into one. Noisy bazaar.
When the bustling staff officers even seem to be difficult to turn around. With the help of the final engineer battalion of the command, the underground garage, which had been reinforced into bunkers, was activated. That wasn't enough, and a few hours later, the central courtyard, surrounded by four beige buildings, was also filled with expanded command mechs.
Countless Skynet instruments of all kinds were moved around by sweaty logistics officers commanding soldiers to move around. Plug in the electronics unit in charge of installation. After the debugging was completed, a staff officer who was waiting on the side sat down and began to work intensely.
With the increase of instruments, Skynet, whose tentacles extend farther and farther, has become more and more powerful.
On the "whoosh" screen, another gray area lit up with the recovery of the detector, blending into the infinite extension of Skynet's information tentacles.
Rows and rows of data are rapidly changing on this map.
This is the energy index, electromagnetic index and other data sent back by the detector. After the processing of the central computer of Skynet, it will soon be able to reflect whether there has been a battle around it and whether there are troops passing by according to its decay speed and content.
Coupled with the miniature radar and anti-detection jamming devices that have restarted the work of the detectors, this means that the information control in this area is firmly in the hands of Fimeng Skynet.
When the detector is successfully activated. The Skynet function data on the main screen jumped three points again, and the 72 percent data made a group of electronic engineers in front of the console can't help but cheer.
The current Fijian Alliance forces have absolute control over information, while the Western Covenant side is probably still at a loss for what to do with the dark Skynet. The asymmetry of information usually means that the scale of victory and defeat is tilted!
Engineers sweating down like rain and having messy hair like a chicken nest. Stretched out his hand and rubbed the little boy's golden hair fiercely, and seven or eight hands pinched his chubby face. Look back. No one could believe that in the past ten hours, they have completed this miraculous battle under the leadership of this magical little boy.
On this battlefield without gunpowder, they destroyed the city and constantly broke through the blockade of the other party. Activate each information terminal.
Remove the dark curtain that hangs over the battlefield.
Although it is not a real battle, it is more thrilling and more dangerous than driving a mecha into battle to kill the enemy
Arouse!
Looking at the excited engineers and the depressed boy among them, Chen Fengxi and Pierre looked at each other and smiled.
When it comes to fighting, these technicians who only know program data can't even touch the edges. But in this battle, they took the lead in completing their own battle.
It is their hard work that allows the command to understand everything that is happening on the front line in the shortest possible time, and the staff can formulate correct battle plans, deduce the battle situation and deploy troops with the support of countless accurate data.
The hope of victory is slowly but surely increasing.
An Lei pushed away the chair and stood up from the Skynet information desk; Bu Sheng and several other intelligence liaison officers chatted together for a few words, and then walked quickly towards Chen Fengxi.
"Commander Pavilion Mao"
"Colonel An Lei, what's the matter?" Chen Fengxi nodded at An Lei.
Chen Fengxi admired this bandit colonel with a beautiful and charming appearance and extremely keen intelligence judgment and processing ability.
Sometimes Chen Fengxi can't even help but feel jealous in his heart.
The bandit army is up and down, full of genius monsters. Not to mention their fat chief, not to mention Margaret, who is known as the successor of Hastings, not to mention that this year, when Ji is only three years old, a group of electronic engineers are so convinced that the little boy who is so convinced by this Colonel Ann that he can't help but want to dig into the wall.
Perhaps, she is not a stunning genius, but she never has the slightest anger and panicked gentleness, and she has a keen intuition for information. makes her far superior to ordinary people in terms of intelligence processing. Under her leadership, the intelligence processing efficiency of the command is extremely high, and the staff officers of the following process will get twice the result with half the effort no matter what they do after getting the information she has handled.
In just a few hours, several intelligence groups and several experienced intelligence liaison officers of the front command became the most loyal supporters of this young and beautiful girl, willing to be her leader.
Her gentleness and calmness influenced the entire intelligence group. Let everyone's heart be like a peaceful lake.
"This is the battlefield situation prediction map that we have just completed based on Skynet information," After An Lei won Chen Fengxi's consent, he directly called up a sharp piece under his command, "Please take a look." ”
Chen Fengxi's attention was quickly attracted by the prediction map that An Lei called up, after the film. He said to the staff officer beside him with a serious expression: "Send it to the deduction for verification." ”
The staff officer took the order and left. Chen Fengxi paced a few steps behind his back, raised his head and glanced at Pierre, and the two couldn't help but show a wry smile on their faces. They knew that the other party, like themselves, had already been soaked in cold sweat in just a few minutes after looking at the picture.
Although the battlefield situation prediction submitted by Elle has just been released, and it has not yet had time to be verified by deduction, with Chen Fengxi and Pierre's rich experience, they can judge the accuracy of this situation prediction at a glance, and the red areas marked as dangerous on the situation map, as well as the hundreds of Xiyo attack arrows that are biting the defense line like piranhas on the thousands of kilometers of battle, have been accurately predicted as early as in the fat man's deduction.
The situation on the western front of Phoenix City has long been bad to this point. From the Southern Theater of Operations to the Northern Theater of Operations. The Western Army, which was strong, had torn the defensive line to pieces. I'm afraid that until now, they still thought that the western front of Phoenix City would be able to top for two or three weeks.
In fact, even without Bellive's final blow, the Phoenix West Front would not be able to withstand it for a week!
Belif launched the Battle of Sunset Mountain, not so much because he was eager to conquer the western front of Phoenix before the third increase of Filipino troops, but rather because he wanted to finish the battle and directly annihilate the resistance of the Filipino alliance on the western front of Phoenix. Let his troops, after breaking through the defensive line, not give the Filipino coalition forces a chance to resist. With the momentum of devastating and decaying, it swept the entire Leifeng Star!
If it weren't for the arrival of the bandits, if it weren't for Lieutenant General Tian Xingjian, who relied on the only information to see through Beliff's intentions at the first time, and used the bandit army as the main force to formulate this plan to survive in the death, everything would be irreparable.
It was only at this time that Chen Fengxi and Pierre were afraid of how correct they were in agreeing with the fat man's plan.
"Bellive!" Chen Fengxi scolded fiercely and strode towards the main deduction sand table in the hall.
The 150-square-meter giant electronic sandbox is like a miniature world. Rolling hills, different weather in different regions. There are also moving troops, one by one on the winding defense line, and the hills, all of which are the same as the reality that Skynet can grasp.
More than a dozen senior Chakner staff officers and bandit generals stood in front of the sand table, constantly moving the electronic push rods in their hands. Margaret, on the other hand, quietly approached the nearest position of the town of Frenso on the sand table, her eyes were firmly fixed on the red arrow that was inserted horizontally from the town of Frenso to the north, and remained motionless.
Chen Fengxi looked at the time, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.
The red arrows, along with the virtual troops on the electronic screen, had been stopped for some time in the first theater northwest of the town of Franço, the town of St. John's.
Thinking that the rest of the time was passing minute by minute, Chen Fengxi turned his gaze to Sunset Mountain.
There, the troops had already been assembled. And the successive attacks of the West Covenant have been frustrated, and it is time for them to use their last trump card.
The two questions of whether Sunset Mountain can buy enough time and whether the bandit army can complete the outflanking on time are like cat's paws, constantly scratching his heart.
"Your Excellency, Commander. Sunset Mountain's latest battle report. ”
In his ears, An Lei's voice came again, which made everyone around the electronic sand table raise their heads suddenly. Although it would not take a minute for this information to be automatically updated by the electronic sand table, everyone still set their eyes on An Lei at the first time.
Chen Fengxi took an open electronic folder from An Lei's hand.
"The Adjudicator has been dispatched," An Lei's tone was unusually serious, "In half an hour, my Sunset Mountain position has been attacked by the Adjudicator team one after another, and so far, it has caused a self-propelled artillery camp of our army, a material transfer point has been destroyed, and nearly 1,200 people in the four defense sections have different body tires".
"Twelve hundred warriors?" Chen Fengxi's face suddenly turned pale. He could never have imagined how a small-scale battle behind enemy lines could cause such huge casualties. The combat unit of that regiment is gone!
"They attacked two of our troops, field hospitals. 600 wounded and more than 200 paramedics. No one was spared. An Lei said in a heavy voice, solving the mystery.
Immediately, she hesitated for a moment, and finally called up the video record sent back from the front line on the Skynet screen.
It was a hellish sight. Two field hospitals, which have been turned into charred cemeteries. a corpse that had been burned to a strange shape; Desolate and helpless lying in the jungle. More than a dozen medical mecha were beaten to pieces. Medical cabins, operating tables and other medical equipment are scattered around. Several female nurses are lying closest to the camera, their brittle bodies are mutilated, and only their long hair and torn clothes can prove their identity.
Everything in front of him plunged the whole of Command into a deathly silence.
The officers' teeth were clucking, and their eyes were bloodshot red. They thought of the appearance of the adjudicator. I thought that these devils would attack logistics supply lines, would attack self-propelled artillery positions, would take out the front-line command post, would launch an attack on a certain section of the defense line, and disrupted the defenses of the front
However, they never dreamed that these people would attack the field hospital without humanity!
Field hospitals are usually not located very close to the position, but are located in a relatively backward area next to the logistics corridor with relatively convenient transportation. The presence of the Adjudicators here proves that they have broken through their positions and are free to roam the rear of the formation. The trenches in front, the patrol guards on both flanks, could not stop them at all.
They have a lot of targets to choose from, why they want to poison a field hospital.
This was no accident, no result of a wounded soldier giving the middle finger at these damned adjudicators. They attacked two field hospitals at the same time, and from the very beginning, they prepared this massacre!
"Where's Stiller! What is the special battalion of the 1st Division doing?! Margaret's face was frighteningly pale. His lips were almost bleeding from his teeth.
"The special battalion has gone on full attack!" An Lei took an electronic folder from a staff officer beside her and handed it to Margaret, "At present, the troops have cleared the front line of the Seuss sortie position, and basically control the battlefield information. In addition, it destroyed an arsenal and three material transfer warehouses in the enemy's attack position, destroyed more than 500 transport mechs and electronic mechas, killed 18 enemy officers at or above the rank of colonel, and annihilated an armored company of the enemy's wounded armored division."
An Lei didn't stop reporting in one breath, which made all the staff officers present hold their breath.
"Revenge?" Margaret looked at the information, and quickly saw through the undisguised annoyance of the preempted adjudicator from the order of time in which the two sides had attacked.
An Lei nodded, "I think so." Inferred from the adjudicator's habits. It is difficult for them to accept that the same army would give them a war letter in such a slap in the face. ”
"What's the reaction of Seuss's sortie positions?" Margaret asked the question that was on top of everyone's mind.
"Internal adduction and external expansion" An Lei said: "Communications and battlefield intelligence have been blocked, and we have been attacked by our special battalion one after another, and now the major attack positions of Suss have shrunk their defenses. The satellite troops deployed outside have shrunk back, and at the same time, they have sent a large number of elite troops to squeeze and clean up the surroundings in an attempt to regain the information initiative. ”
Everyone gritted their teeth and exhaled. In any case, at least Stöhler had succeeded in getting the Seuss main force to turn their attention to their own periphery. Obviously, they will not launch a large-scale attack until they regain control of the battlefield and relieve their worries. The more time drags on, the better it will be for the Allies!
A cold smile appeared on Margaret's face.
"My aim has always been to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth," she said, turning to Karl beside her, "Tell Stiller that now he is free to move and attack whatever he can without leaving prisoners." ”
"Yes!"
Carl received the order and was about to turn around, but was stopped by the little kid biting the milk tea straw on the side.
"Big head, by the way, tell the fat man about the elimination device."
Under the somewhat sluggish gaze of the officers of the Feimeng League in the room, the little boy sucked the milk tea, saw the bottom, threw the empty cup into the garbage basket at any time, and said lightly: "Dare to attack our hospital, he will kill one of us" We will kill him ten. The bandit army never does loss-making business! ”
Looking at the figure of Carl walking towards the Skynet console, there was silence in the command hall.
The officers did not know how to describe their mentality. Is it shocked by the ruthlessness of the bandit army, or does not approve of this-for-tat approach. Or. It is a kind of pleasure that seems to be a suppressed volcano erupting from the mouth of the heart!
There was a commotion, followed by a series of crisp electronic sounds, which woke everyone up.
Chen Fengxi and the others turned their heads to look, and on the huge electronic sand table, the stagnant red arrow began to move again.
This time, the arrow suddenly thickened and became larger. Quickly pierced through the first war zone, and after a slight pause, it was in the sound of everyone's violent heartbeat. Pierced the second theater of war!
