Chapter 30: Blitzkrieg (13)

Sudden talk of the river!

The river flows heavily over the wide river.

Under the warm sun, the reef in the middle of the river and the weeds in the shallows near the shore cut through the flowing water, stirring up white waves, like small white flames, jumping happily in the turbid current.

The mountains on both sides of the river, from low to high, stretch endlessly into the distance. The large and small peaks are like majestic giants, entangled in silence, trying, not giving in to each other and never abandoning.

At ten o'clock in the morning, with the first cannon sound, the mountains and forests were shaken, and the south bank of the Tulun River was silent.

The mountains and the people stationed in them were stunned by the sound of the sudden sound.

They watched in amazement as fireballs flashed from the mountains to the south, southwest, and southeast, and after taking a sharp breath in the surroundings, red flames soared into the sky, and black smoke billowed in all directions.

The action of the black smoke is so intense. It's like a group of devils wrapped in a black curtain, constantly rushing out, crashing outward, and finally condensing into gray-black mushroom clouds.

The mountains trembled, and the rivers fled.

The armored units of the bandit army, like a rolling torrent, rushed into the valley and overflowed the mountains in waves.

All over the mountains are these cyan, black and dark green mechas. Tens of thousands of battle mechs were the first to clear the way, and the huge logistics troops, escorted by countless heavy and medium mechs, followed closely behind. The entire army, stretching for more than 10 kilometers, swept over mountains and mountains, and swept north.

The relatively flat terrain on the south bank of the Tulun River gave this force a high level of mobility.

From the moment they rushed headlong into the right flank of the area controlled by the 2S Army of Jepong, in just half an hour, the double arrows composed of the 1st and 2nd Armored Divisions of the bandit army had already advanced 15 kilometers in depth. The Jeppen garrisons along the way didn't have time to react at all, and they were swallowed up by this rolling torrent.

In the background, it was the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of Jie Peng Peng. As a reserve, the regiment was stationed in a valley near the Tulun River.

Because it is nearly sixty kilometers away from the front line of the Valley of the Storm, there is no possibility of danger in the surrounding area, "and the troops, ready to pull the front line to fight for other troops, therefore, in addition to building the valley into a base composed of unfolded mechs, tents, camouflage nets and combined bulletproof walls, the regiment has only deployed a small number of alert troops on a few surrounding hills.

When the first cannon rang out from the south, the Jeppen soldiers who were having lunch had not yet come to their senses. They held their lunch boxes and chewed as they stepped out of the hidden net of the open-air cafeteria and looked in the direction where the sound of the cannon was faintly coming from. And those engineering mechs that were loading and unloading materials or making holes in the mountain wall made a loud noise, and they didn't even stop.

It wasn't until the dense artillery fire rang out one after another, and the sirens at the base let out a terrible screech, that the Jeppen soldiers knew that something was wrong. They dropped their lunch boxes and ran desperately to the tarmac, and the entire base was a scene of panic.

The regimental commander went crazy and ordered the troops to be assembled. However, in addition to the electronic company, the general staff, and the logistics unit, only the guard company directly under the regimental headquarters is a combat unit.

The other subordinate combat units, all distributed around, need at least five minutes to assemble urgently.

Five minutes, for this armored regiment, which was withdrawn from the front line and rested for five days without combat missions, was just a leisurely cigarette on days of idleness.

However, it was only this cigarette that they were located in two companies two kilometers away

The warp collapsed.

Abandoning their camps and positions and fleeing, Jeppen soldiers run wild through the jungle. Countless energy cannons, energy machine gun bullets, cut through the trees in the forest, and chased them to the death. Dirt splattered and sawdust flew out. Rows of bullet holes appeared out of thin air on the ground, the bushes were swept to pieces, and the tree poles were punched out of large white holes and gaps.

All that's left is the flames, blood, and the footsteps of the Philemon mechs scurrying through the jungle like wolves. When the cannon fired, the vanguard of the bandit army was two kilometers away. When the mech fighters of the Jeppen armored regiment ran out of the barracks and stepped onto the mechs, the bandits had already appeared at the mouth of the valley.

Jeppen's troops, south of Taniguchi, put up desperate resistance, trying to buy time for the troops behind.

Many of them, as soon as they got into the mech, were overwhelmed by the onslaught of cannonballs. Many people were forced to activate the mecha, but before they could fire a single shot, they were kicked to the ground by the cheetah-like bandit mecha that rushed at high speed, and smashed to pieces.

Barracks collapsed under artillery fire; Mechs, engulfed in the flames of the explosion; One by one, Jeppen soldiers fell to the ground in a scream

And in this tragic sundial, countless bandit mecha swept by like the wind, bringing up a rain of blood.

The base in the canyon turned into a sea of fire. The commander of the Jeppen Armored Regiment finally took advantage of the interception of the forward troops and led a small number of surviving troops to escape to the garrison of the 3rd Battalion, which was stationed three kilometers to the north. At the same time, the 2nd Battalion, which was stationed in the east, also quickly approached the position of the 3rd Battalion under his orders.

Behind the camp of the three battalions, there is a steep peak. As soon as he arrived, he ordered his troops to set up a temporary blocking line centered on this hill.

Although no trenches were dug to build positions, the commander of the Jeppen Panzer Regiment instinctively sensed that this hill was the key to holding off the Filipino forces attacking from the south to the north.

With this hill, he can buy enough time. And if he had time, he would be able to figure out where these Feimeng mecha that suddenly appeared came from, and he would be able to wait until the comrades of the Peng 1st Division stationed not far away could also wake up from this sudden nightmare.

However, the regiment leader's abacus only dialed for less than ten minutes, and it became a deep absolute

Hope.

First of all, the second battalion, which was close to him, was stopped by a bandit army that suddenly appeared on the way and cut it into two parts, and ate it cleanly.

Immediately afterwards, he was commanding the troops to resist the frontal attack, when he suddenly found a bandit armored company, coming up from the other side of the hill and rushing into the position he had just stabilized.

The ending, self-explanatory.

As his mecha turned into a ball of fire, he saw the bandit troops attacking head-on and the armored company on the flank, each staggering past each other, rushing to different places. They were like two pythons, only in this place, this moment staggered, after destroying everything, and then marching along different routes.

to death, the regiment commander couldn't figure it out.

The location of the 2nd Battalion, east of Taniguchi, where the regimental headquarters was located, should be the safest when the enemy attacked. But why, when they were approaching the third battalion, they suddenly encountered a troop on the way. That unit, it seems, had already calculated the route, and the time "was slashed at the waist of the second battalion with a knife!"

What he didn't understand even more was that this mountain was too big, but it was not small.

To go up from the flanks, you have to go down the mountainside through the valley and then go around

Even if the pursuing troops immediately saw through the weakness of this hill and immediately divided their forces and made a detour - it would take at least twenty minutes. However, the armored company that suddenly appeared appeared just when he had just gained a foothold, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

At the moment when the mecha exploded, he saw the tide of Feimeng mecha rushing past him, and he heard more fierce artillery fire coming from the distant mountain.

It was the defense area of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Peng Division.

~∽Ken Kitazawa is 60 years old this year. As the commander of the 2S Army of Jeppen, he ranked fifty-six among the hundreds of generals in Jeppen.

Although he is not at the top of the rankings, Kitazawa's prestige in Jeppen's army is very high.

This old man with a pair of razor-like stiff eyebrows and sharp eyes is the current patriarch of the Kitazawa family among the ten major families of the empire. He has always been low-key and cautious, and he never makes enemies easily. At present, many military dignitaries above him were single-handedly pulled up by him.

In military affairs, Kitazawa Ken has a high attainment.

He was a distinguished professor at the Second Military University of the Army in Jeppen and published a considerable number of military papers. In terms of combat command, it is unique.

In particular, his ability to deduce has become a legend of the Second Army.

During an actual combat exercise, he was invited to watch the battle, but because he was provoked by others, he completely suppressed the entire group army staff headquarters of the other side in the deductive confrontation with only a five-member staff group. The opponent was disgraced and faced, and he announced his surrender as soon as he entered the middle of the exercise.

No one has been able to break this record so far.

A strong ability to deduce will inevitably be accompanied by more accurate judgments, a broader view of the overall situation, and a more rapid battlefield response.

In fact, before the news of the attack on the 1st Peng Division, the famous general's knife-like eyes were firmly fixed on the town of Frenso to the south.

Gu Lifu's battle plan was calculated by Kitazawa Ken himself. Before this huge plan was released, he was the one who had been in and out of Beliff's office the most times in the entire Jayer military. Many of the details of the plan that have not been announced, he knows even better than Yuto Mikami.

For this plan, Kitazawa Ken has enough confidence.

Through a series of strategic offensives in the early stage, the Western Army, which had an absolute superiority in strength, had gained control of the battle situation.

The Resque Front of the Filipino Alliance was crushed to the west of Phoenix, which they had painstakingly managed, and they could not move. It's like a rope that has been stretched to the limit and can break at any moment.

What Belif has to do is to complete a breakthrough at Sunset Mountain before the third increase of troops of the Filipino League, and obtain the final result.

After repeated deductions, Kitazawa Ken has calculated the strength of the Fijian Alliance to the extreme. He didn't believe that Chen Fengxi could hold Sunset Mountain.

In Chen Fengxi's hands, there were only twenty divisions at most. It was impossible for him to devote all his reserves to Sunset Mountain, and if he did, it would mean that he would not have the forces to defend the Frenso Lock, nor would he have the troops to reinforce the other sections of the long line.

If only ten divisions are thrown...""'Under the powerful attack of the adjudicator and twenty divisions, ten divisions

What's the use?

But now, Kitazawa is a little unconfident in his judgment.

There was only one reason, and that was a communications officer and a team of special forces standing next to him.

These men, who had been sent by Bellive's command, had arrived at the Souss 21st Army garrison in the north before coming here.

"You're saying that Command hasn't heard from Frenso until now?" Kitazawa shaved

Knife-like eyebrows, with a slight movement.

"Yes, General." The lieutenant colonel's communications officer replied, "Because the time limit for contact has been exceeded, the command has sent us over, and along the way, we have also asked if there is any contact between the various theaters and them." After all, they're far away from Command.' - ""The command believes that it may be an electronic attack by the enemy at all costs, because the battle situation is tense and it is temporarily impossible to communicate one-"

The lieutenant colonel explained messily, and for some reason, he stood in front of Kitazawa and always felt a sigh

Chill.

"Frunso has a problem!" Kitazawa categorically interrupted the lieutenant colonel's words.

Caught off guard, the lieutenant colonel opened his mouth in surprise.

Under his gaze, Kitazawa paced back and forth a few steps, and F6 said coldly, "Frenso Lock, it is said to be a feint to pinch, but it is actually the second attack point, in addition to the seven armored divisions we have invested, there are also a hundred Adjudicators!" They should understand the importance of keeping in touch throughout the battle plan!"

Kitazawa said quickly, not so much to a lieutenant colonel as to an analyst talking to himself, "I felt that something was wrong before." Not only Frento, but also me, the electronic attack of the Filipino Alliance suddenly became a lot stronger, and the following and St. John Feed, Northern Qi Mountain have not been able to contact. ”

His steps became faster and faster, and his tone became more and more hurried, and by the end he could no longer hold back, leaving behind the confused lieutenant colonel and striding onto the podium.

"Order the Peng 1st Division to immediately send a regiment and advance at full speed towards the Billy Cone, in the shortest possible way

In the time, get in touch with the 2nd and 34th divisions of Seuss-"

As soon as Kitazawa's words fell, suddenly, an officer rushed into the command hall.

"Your Excellency Admiral," the officer gasped violently, his eyes glaring in horror, "our 1st Division has been attacked by a large force of the Filipino League, and at present, the enemy has rapidly advanced along the Tulun River to fifteen kilometers south of Eagle Mountain, and the headquarters of the 1st Peng Division has lost contact and the troops have been scattered. ”

"What?!" Kitazawa Ken only felt a chill crawl up his backbone. The entire command, all the staff officers, were stunned by the news.

To be able to defeat a fully formed elite armored division of oneself in one go, how many enemies should there be? Their presence here means what happened to the Billy Samarium Theater, the Northern Qi Mountain Theater, the St. John's Town-War Zone, and more importantly, the Frenso Reconnaissance Zone?

Kitazawa Ken turned his head abruptly and looked at the electronic sand table.

From the southernmost Frenso to this point, an arc-shaped line of attack, accompanied by this one, made him feel a little unbelievable, but the judgment appeared in his mind.

After a long time, he slowly walked down the podium and stood with a shocked Lieutenant Colonel on his face, "No need to go to the town of Frenzo anymore, go back and report to Lord Bellive." ”

"As for the trouble here," his eyes narrowed slightly, "I'll solve it myself."

Decided!"
