Chapter 21: Blitz (4)
The vast land of hundreds of square kilometers west of Yangshan has become a noisy soldier
battalion
From the southern end of the defense line of Sunset Mountain, along the rolling hills, through valleys, plains, and rivers, to the northern section 20 kilometers away, there is no end in sight.
The Western Covenant troops scattered all over the mountains were like ants, densely packed, and Min couldn't count them. Farther afield, on the winding roads, there were more follow-up troops, like a trickle of tributaries, converging in this direction.
By this time, the Northern Army Group of the Western Covenant had already set up a strong attack and fierce attack.
With the town of Frenso holding back the forces of the Filipino Alliance, and taking the western part of the Sunset Mountain Basin like lightning, they have long had no scruples, let alone the need to hide and pretend to be polite.
This is to bully the weak and overwhelm people with power! In the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the Western Covenant, it was only a matter of time before such a heavy build-up of troops could take the crumbling defense line of Sunset Mountain.
To the east of the No. 3 Intercity Highway leading from Qixing Town to the Satellite City of Sunset Mountain, the small hills that stretch all the way to the north of the road eighteen kilometers from the Sunset Mountain Range have disappeared under a gentle green slope and become a wide small* plain. The grass' is dense and flat. It stretched for three kilometers in the distance before ending with a few gently rising hills.
Because it is located at the intersection of several different levels of highways, it is natural that it is a temporary base for multiple troops.
As the Sunset Mountain was overcome, more and more troops and logistical supplies gathered here along Intercity Highway No. 3 and its two wings. In the past, under the orders of the Terbium Command, the entire three engineering battalions and thousands of engineering mechs worked together to build this place into the largest advance base of the Xiyue offensive force under the Sunset Mountain.
Human engineering capabilities, in this era of mechas, have staggering efficiency. From the selection of this area to the felling of trees, leveling of the field. It took only two hours to set up a huge base.
In the base, 30 huge warehouses and barracks that can accommodate 10,000 people are built. These composite buildings are evenly distributed in nine squares in strict accordance with the requirements of the defense
The base is surrounded by a long combined metal fence, and there are not only guardian towers installed with large-caliber pedestal energy cannons every fifty meters. In the four corners and in the center of the base, Calyx has also assembled five large energy shield generators connected to everything.
At night, the blue energy shield glows. Spreading upwards from the corner of the wall, over the wall, and climbing into the sky along a massive metal support, the entire base is firmly encased, leaving only a circular passage above the temporary platform for small transport ships to take off and land. It's like a giant blue, bird's nest
At this moment, the base is full of people coming and going. A fleet of convoys and transport mecha teams, with bright and dazzling lights, streamed in from the east and west gates of the base.
Because just after the end of a futile offensive, the command of the strategy and tactics was reformulated. Time will be needed to complete the deployment of the troops. Therefore, the troops who arrived at the base were not sure where they were going for the time being, and the soldiers all rested and seized the time to sleep and eat.
From time to time, everyone will look to the northeast corner of the base.
It was a col surrounded by two forty or fifty-metre-high hills, and as far as the eye could see, there were some prefabricated barracks and bright lights. No one came close there, though. an hour ago. There is already martial law there. A Souss armoured battalion with a three-tier cordon on the perimeter of that camp.
Even in the face of his companions, the soldiers in charge of the guards had a tiger in their eyes, and they were fierce. It was as if it would suddenly rise up at any moment and tear everyone who dared to approach or snoop on the camp to shreds.
In fact, what they are guarding is no longer a secret.
Even if it's just a new recruit who has just joined the army. I also know what is in the camp... Who else but the legendary Adjudicator army deserves such fanfare and excitement just to put on a posture of importance?
In a big war like the present, the soldiers who don't know if they will survive are not so much curious as they are looking forward to it.
After the assault on Sunset Mountain was suspended, the commander never issued a new order. Obviously, the next battle is the time for the unit that makes everyone's heart beat faster just by hearing the name.
"General Reinhardt, Marshal Belriff is scheduled for six o'clock to launch a general attack." In the well-guarded barracks, rows of black adjudicators stood silently under the light of moths, and Admiral Seuss Longman glanced around at the ghostly silent adjudicators, turned his head, and said respectfully to Reinhardt beside him.
Unlike the adjudicators who covered their necks and behind their ears, Reinhardt was faintly there, his collar turned down, and he wore no hat. The silver metal skull, fused into the flesh and blood in a smooth industrial shape, makes people not feel terrifying, but have a strange beauty.
Able to expose the defects of the body so calmly. In the face of people's surprised eyes, so calm and calm. The strength and tenacity of his heart can be imagined.
Based on this alone, Longman knew that the captain of this adjudicator was definitely not an ordinary person.
Seeing Reinhardt nodded, Longman continued: "In order to cooperate with Your Excellency, we have formulated a new combat plan, and within an hour, the transfer and deployment of combat troops can be completed......"
As he spoke, Longman took a faint blue light electronic folder from the staff officer, handed it to Reinhardt, and said, "The breakthrough selected by the command headquarters is the 152 heights of the third district. This is detailed intelligence information, and the general can familiarize himself with it first. At that time. I made an eighth sortie position
of the armament, the armor division
Take the electronic folder in Longman's hand. Reinhardt glanced at it quickly.
The Rusi people have obviously put a lot of effort into the selection and selection of breakthroughs, no matter from which point of view, the 152 heights located in the third area of the Sunset Mountain defense line. Jia is an ideal target.
There is another distance from Sunset Mountain: the main peak position is six kilometers in a straight line. If it is in fine weather
During the daytime, the two positions can even be seen with the naked eye.
The loss of the 152nd position is like a tight iron chain breaking from the middle for the entire Sunset Mountain defense line, no matter how much the two flanks of the defense line are held. Nor could it stop the breakthrough of the Western forces. Panicky. It will spread out in all directions when the first rays of sunlight shine on Sunset Mountain in the early morning, and the total rout of the Filipino defenders is inevitable.
"Clever choice." Reinhardt exchanged the folder in his hand to Langman, handsome
A smile of appreciation appeared on his face: "I don't have any opinions.
Longman, who originally felt a little uncomfortable in the midst of a group of cold-faced ghostly adjudicators, was infected by Reinhardt's smile and tone, and his whole person relaxed, and said with a smile: "General Reinhardt has won the award, and choosing this point as a breakthrough is also based on the powerful attack of you and your troops
He casually handed the folder to the staff officer beside him. Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, he said, "Tell the truth." I originally thought that I would be able to break through the defense line of Sunset Mountain in one go, but I didn't expect that the Filipino Alliance would withstand thirteen attacks in succession. In five or six hours, with only 52 positions, I lost two regiments. That's why I have the cheekiness to ask for your help.
"The defenders of Feiyi are already at the end of the crossbow. Reinhardt twitched his palm lightly with his glove: "I think, even without our participation. Sunset Mountain, for you, Lord Longman. Sooner or later, too, things. Speaking of which, we're just icing on the cake.
Reinhardt's modesty greatly increased Longman's favorability.
In fact, everyone understands that this time the northern cluster hit an iron plate. You must know that before this, the main forces of the northern cluster, which occupied a large area of towns and strategic points west of Sunset Mountain, had lost a total of two divisions. In the first battle of Sunset Mountain, three divisions were lost in only five or six hours. This has exceeded Longman's psychological bottom line.
Add these three armored divisions, and so far in this campaign, the strength has dropped by twenty-five percent! And what's even more embarrassing is that. Although on the surface, the entire strategic plan is progressing smoothly, but Qixing Town and Xiushuihe Town are still stuck in the western part of the Sunset Mountain Basin like two nails.
In other areas of control, the Western coalition forces did not gain full control and had to slow down their advance.
It was really unexpected that the defenders of the Filipino League's Sunset Mountain were able to react so quickly and organize such a level of resistance. If it weren't for the adjudicator who could be called the Zhenhai Divine Needle, if it weren't for the fact that he could win the entire battle just by overcoming the second line of defense at Sunset, I'm afraid that what Longman was thinking about now was to go home.
Longman really didn't want a well-planned battle situation, and in the end, something changed because he couldn't break through Sunset Mountain.
If the Battle of Sunset Hill was lost because of excessive losses at Sunset Mountain, he believed that Belif would not hesitate to push him to the front as a scapegoat.
In Seuss, the scapegoat for such a crucial battle usually means being sent to hell from which he will never turn over.
The former Admiral Gacharin in front of him was humble and peaceful, without the slightest arrogance, even though he led the top troops of Binart. can also put down his body and work together, which is a rare partner. Looking at it at this moment, Longman even felt that Reinhardt's cold metal head was also pleasing to the eye.
He secretly made up his mind to take Sunset Mountain down. The greatest credit has to be given to Reinhardt anyway.
As Admiral Ru, he knew the adjudicators. But there are far more legends than ordinary soldiers hear. A squad composed of ten mechs can cut through an armored division head-on, and twenty such squads, dropped on this battlefield, are not inferior to twenty nuclear bombs!
The two countries did not have command of the forces of the Countouts. If there is a similar war in the future. If you can let Reinhardt sell a favor and send one or two squads to help, you may not be able to have the same storm as the Ryan War Zone in this southeast star field.
Longman was thinking in his heart, and he was about to invite Rheinhacheng to sit in his headquarters and make friends. But I saw Reinhardt turn his wrist and look at the time, turned his head to him and said: "I've been nesting on the transport ship for most of the night, and since there is still more than an hour to go, I think it's better to move my muscles and bones first."
"Activity." Longman said in surprise: "General Reinhardt is preparing to personally..."
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible," Reinhardt said lightly: "The war with Skynet is one way to fight, and the war without Skynet is another way to fight, compared to the war with Skynet everywhere, we actually prefer to fight under the shady curtain."
He turned his head and clapped his hands at his subordinates, and said expressionlessly:
Information about the enemy, launching an attack, lessons.
It's a contest before the big war begins.
"Control the battlefield, shield us to the Fijian people first
