Chapter 18: Blitz (1)

Volume 9 Chapter 18 Blitz (1)

The Battle of the Town of Frenso ended quickly.

Captives with their hands held high. A long queue emerged from the corners of the city's ruins, escorted by Fijian soldiers, to a makeshift prisoner of war camp.

"Stop!" A Chakner soldier swings an energy rifle and stops the POWs.

In the dim light of the streetlights, the listless POWs stood in stroze, hearing a loud roar coming from the intersection.

As the dirty black and red blood foaming sewage on the side of the road splashed everywhere under the trampling of a steel mechanical foot. A cyan bandit mech appeared in front of the infantry and the escorted prisoners of war.

"Speed up!" The platoon-level officer mecha with two bars on its body stood on the ruins, shouting at his team.

Rows of mechas, with heavy steps, rolled past the intersection. The debris of broken bricks piled up on both sides of the street was beating rapidly in the violent shaking of the ground.

The bandit officers in the ruins jumped off the ruins and strode after their own team had run past. The long mecha procession is like a high-speed train roaring by, speeding towards the west.

The prisoners of war stared blankly. They couldn't figure out why they lost this battle in a daze.

Not long ago, they had swarmed into this town with a population of 400,000, annihilated Chakner's 172nd Division, and advanced in depth with great vigour.

Unexpectedly, the originally good situation was turned over in an instant!

First, the forward troops crashed headlong into Banyunling. It was bumpy, 20 kilometers of rout, and nearly 30 percent of its troops were lost. Immediately afterwards, the follow-up troops on the periphery of Frenso were unlucky, cut and surrounded by the bandits who followed the rout vanguard and quickly interspersed. In just a few hours, the number of troops was again reduced by 30 percent.

The sudden reversal of the situation made it too late to react.

Especially when Skynet is almost completely dark, it is still possible to maintain command and contact in a tailwind battle, and once it is defeated, it will fall into chaos. The rear did not know what was happening in front, and the troops in front did not know where their companions were. Some troops were attacking, some were defending, and the gaps between them were like no one by the bandits.

In order to get out of this situation, suppress the momentum of the Filipino Alliance's counterattack and open the outer passage to gather the scattered troops. The commander of the Sujj coalition launched a counterattack along the central intercity highway.

This is not a bad decision. In fact, everyone at the time believed that with the help of a hundred Adjudicators, it would only take a short time for the troops to retreat from the Fijian League. Even if they can't be defeated, they can at least clean up the situation, let the scattered troops return to calm, and bring the tide of the battle back to a reciprocal situation.

But no one expected that at the same time as the counterattack was launched, the rear received news that the west of the town of Frenso was blocked by an armored division that had made a detour from somewhere. And the fifty adjudicators who were violently counterattacking along the intercity highway were slaughtered by three hundred devil mechas.

By the time the last Adjudicator fell, the officers were no longer able to control their troops.

With a strong enemy in front and no reinforcements behind, despair enveloped the entire town of Franço. Every soldier lost the courage to resist. Less than a third of the three fully staffed elite armored divisions are now left. They didn't know how to face the enemy who was swarming into the city other than to raise their hands and surrender.

The battle of the town of Frenso ended in just a few hours. What's even more terrifying is that what is happening in this area, which is obscured by endless electronic interference and elusive Fiji special squads, is not known to the main forces of Bellive's Army Group North.

The ordinary soldiers did not have enough military literacy to understand what kind of impact the defeat of the town of Frenso would have on the situation of Sunset Mountain, they just knew that when an armored force that could easily defeat the adjudicator entered this battle, when Bellive's plan was half broken, the final direction of the battle might not be as wonderful as everyone expected.

"I've got to stay up late again." The fat man took a cigarette in his mouth and shone a fat face at the bright metal plate of the console: "Crossing six war zones in one day, whose father's idea is this?!" I don't know that lack of sleep will affect skin maintenance and sexual health?! ”

Seeing that the slut finished taking pictures of his face, he worriedly pulled open his trouser belt, and was about to look at Lao 2, Bonnie on the side couldn't help but grab his ears and turn his backhand three hundred and sixty degrees.

The fat man, who was caught off guard, turned his head, and a small cloud of red soot shook off the cigarette butt, and it fell into the crotch of his pants.

Sizzle. The fat man gasped sharply, and his nose and eyes were all twisted and distorted.

"Whew!"

The fat man's painful appearance startled Bonnie. Subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub it, but withdrew his hand like an electric shock, only biting his lip and feeling helpless. After a long time, he timidly asked, "It's hot?" ”

The fat man wrinkled a bitter face like a Shar Pei, pulled the belt of his trousers forward, and said with tears in his eyes: "Look, the second uncle's hair is hot!" ”

"Dead fat man," Bonnie, who knew that she had been deceived, was shy and anxious, grabbed the fat man's vital point, and squinted at the fat man through gritted teeth: "Believe it or not, I'm going to abolish this curly scourge now!" ”

The fat man couldn't help but be overjoyed, his eyebrows fluttered and he moaned, "Don't believe it! ”

Feeling the hot guy in his hand jump provocatively, Bonnie took a sip and let go of her hand. I know in my heart that playing this with this faceless fat man, even if it is a hundred, she is not an opponent.

Throwing a document on the fat man, Bonnie sneered, "Look at the information that the butt just sent." ”

Seeing Bonnie's slender white jade hand let go, the fat man smacked his lips regretfully, opened the file, looked down and read it, and looked at the time again.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening of July 3, less than eight hours before dawn.

As expected, Bellive's main force, after the completion of the attack on the town of Franço, quickly launched a lightning attack on Sunset Mountain, and after repeated tug-of-war, gradually took control of most of the area west of Sunset Mountain, and advanced the battle line directly to the bottom of Sunset Mountain.

The front of Sunset Mountain. Probably six Western armored divisions were concentrated. With a radius of less than 300 square kilometers, the density of six armored divisions is really a bit extravagant.

Clearly, Belif has his sights set on Sunset Mountain. With the Adjudicator and having launched the Frenso Town Offensive beforehand, he did not think that the Filipino coalition forces still had enough courage and strength to commit themselves to Sunset Hill to resist his attack.

"We only have one day to complete the strategic outflanking." Bonnie opened the mecha computer's deduction program, transferred the data in the folder to the program, picked up the electronic pen and drew a red line horizontally on the battle plan map. This one, from the town of Frenso to the west, then turns to the north, and crosses the towns of Qixing and Xiushuihe in the western part of the Sunset Mountain Basin.

As the folder data is replenished, the intelligence of the area through which the red line passes becomes more detailed. The enemy's strength, theater situation, troop number, terrain, electronic defense and attack intensity, Skynet integrity, etc., are all clear.

In terms of troops, the six theaters that the bandit army needs to pass through are stationed the 336th and 95th Mechanized Divisions, the 19th, 77th, 56th, and 141st Armored Divisions of the Seuss, as well as the 11th Mechanized Divisions and the 155th Armored Division of the Air Marine Corps of Jeppen. 9th and 210th Panzer Divisions of the Army.

These dazzling and headache-inducing numbers are scattered along the winding western defense line of Phoenix, in an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers.

For more than a month, the fighting on the western front of Phoenix City has not stopped, and these Western troops have been replenished with considerable strength and materials in the recent period, and the offensive momentum has been quite active for a while, and the defense has also done a good job. Several counter-assaults by the front-line troops failed to inflict any losses on them. It is not an easy task to annihilate or defeat them.

If the time is evenly distributed, it means that the bandits are every two hours. It is necessary to defeat a division and pass through the theater of operations it is guarding. And that's not counting the four Western Panzer Divisions that have already appeared in front of the 2nd Panzer Division.

It was the follow-up force that Beliff had used to reinforce the offensive in the town of Franço, and they were advancing along the west bank of the Dolai, and their forward units were already in contact with the 2nd Panzer Division.

"Twenty-four hours, that's enough!" The fat man opened the mecha cockpit and looked at the troops rushing in front of him, and raised his eyebrows sharply. On a simple and honest face, a trace of hideousness appeared.

you, don't think Belriff is going to blitzkrieg.

Standing at the top of the army in this era, the bandit army will make everyone understand what is the lightning attack that sweeps everything!

I don't have time to spend it with you here!

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

"Order the troops, speed up, hurry!" Jermeen. Lieutenant General Forbes, somewhat restlessly, paced back and forth in the spacious cabin of the command mech.

This Lieutenant General Jeppen was the commander of the four armored divisions of the second echelon of the Battle of the town of Frenso. Responsible for leading the troops to intensify the attack in this direction after the end of the first phase of the battle in the town of Frenso.

For this task, Forbes did not like. He has always hoped that he will have one more general on his shoulder, and he is more willing to go to Sunset Mountain and command his troops to break through the defense line of the Filipino Alliance and obtain greater merits. Instead of performing a diversionary mission on the flanks, drink a little leftovers.

However, the commander of the northern cluster was the stocky Marshal Seuss Belif. In the direction of Sunset Mountain, the most elite and most descendant Seuss troops in the hands of Beliff were also concentrated, and Forbes couldn't get into it after thinking of many ways, so he could only retreat and accept the task of attacking the direction of Frunso Town.

Because of the large number of troops gathered, it is easy to startle the snake. Therefore, in order to maintain concealment before the attack, the four armored divisions led by Forbes stayed in the mountains two hundred kilometers behind the first echelon, and did not participate in the surprise attack of the first echelon on the town of Franço.

Although far behind, Forbes is not at all worried about the situation in the town of Franço. This battle, long before the start of the battle, has been calculated countless times in the deduction computer. Every possible change on the battlefield, every step of the battle plan, is in Forbes' mind.

Many previous deductions have shown that with the powerful attack power of three armored divisions and a hundred Adjudicators in the first echelon. Trying to defeat the town of Franço, which was guarded by Chakner's 172nd Division, was simply a matter of holding the handle.

In fact, until he received the news of the fall of the town of Frenzo and led his troops to set off, the battle situation did not surprise him.

But now, Forbes feels a little bad.

The powerful electronic interference severed all contact between him and the first echelon, and for several hours, he did not get any news about the town of Franço.

And when he led his troops to less than half an hour from the town of Franço, he encountered an all-pervasive attack by the enemy along the way.

The forward troops fought several battles in a mess. When the enemy who came and went like the wind in the mountains and jungles again and again smashed the entire squad and platoon of mechs into wreckage, no one could even say the model of the other party's mecha, the number and size of the unit. The last half hour of the journey took an hour to less than a third of the way.

As a commander, Forbes instinctively was wary of such an attack by the enemy with extremely obvious intention to delay.

He carefully inspected the battlefield where the troops were attacked, and judging from the various traces left behind, it was obvious that the other party was not an ordinary army. Their attacks were precise, fast, and ferocious, and each time they were all swept away with a single blow. Whether it is the selection of targets, or the location of the attack, the retreat route, it has been carefully arranged and very old-fashioned.

The appearance of such a force to the west of the town of Frenso is enough to show that the control of the first echelon over the town of Frenso is not as strong as imagined.

Forbes doesn't know what is going on in the town of Frenso now, and his only thought is to rush to the town of Frenso as soon as possible and nip all accidents in the bud!

The enemy's procrastination proves their thirst for time. If the second echelon can reach the town of Frenso one minute earlier, the threat to the enemy will be one point greater!

With the third Forbes order to accelerate, the troops picked up speed again.

There are four armored divisions, as many as 28,000 combat units, and nearly 10,000 logistics and auxiliary troops. More than 22,000 combat mechs, hundreds of electronic mechas, thousands of engineering mechas, transport mechs and heavy trucks stretch for dozens of kilometers in the mountains and on the highways.

There are two roads from the western mountains where the troops are located to the town of Frenzo. Between highways, the interval is fifteen or sixteen kilometers.

The main force was divided into two wings, the left and right, most of which were advanced along the road, and a small part along the slower slopes and valleys. The troops marching in the mountains are usually individual mechs with strong mobility ability, and the reason why they cross the mountains and mountains is to reduce the pressure of road loads and to protect the flanks of large troops.

From the local skynet, the whole team looks like a rippled fish. Sharp in front, wide in the middle, and trailing tail-like logistics troops in the back, swimming in the green mountains.

And with the acceleration of the pace of advance, the distance between many troops has been widened. The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 81st Armored Division of Jeppen, which were at the forefront, had even opened a distance of nearly five kilometers from the main force behind.

Although the troops seem to be a little scattered, Forbes doesn't care about it.

This is an inevitable phenomenon in high-speed marches in the mountains. It is necessary for the regimental level troops to maintain a formation, and as long as they can maintain communication and contact, there is no danger.

In fact, if he could have heard of Frunso as soon as possible and rushed to the war zone as soon as possible, Forbes wouldn't mind his troops becoming a little more scattered. The strength of an entire army, no matter how chaotic, is not something that can be easily shaken. In order to eat this army, Fiji will have to devote at least ten divisions to this place and spend at least a week!

While speculating about what was happening in the town of Franço, which was less than thirty kilometers away, Forbes, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly heard a staff officer report aloud.

"General, the first battalion of the third regiment of the 81st Division has been attacked."

Forbes turned his head to look at the screen.

The attack took place in a canyon less than ten kilometers from the Dolai River, and red warning markers flashed on the virtual map. The third regiment of the 81st Division, which had lost nearly twenty mechs, had stopped, and the regiment commander sent two companies to search and patrol in the southwest direction.

"Tell the commander of the 81st Division, Joe. Major General Hart, let his three regiments stop this stupid search patrol and speed up! The distance between them and the first and second regiments has been stretched far enough. Forbes quickly checked the battle briefing, snorted coldly, and said to the staff officer.

It was not only the 3rd Regiment of the 81st Division that was attacked. In fact, not to mention the previous attacks on various units, even at the same time as the three regiments were attacked, there were also two or three reports of attacks on the local Skynet.

The enemy wanted to delay the advance of the troops, and the closer they got to the town of Franço, the more frequent their attacks became. Forbes doesn't think it's a good idea to stop and sweep around.

A whole four armored divisions, like an indestructible combat vehicle. Now, the mission of this tank is to drive to the town of Frenzo. As long as it's not a massive attack, any harassment can be ignored!

"Yes!" The staff officer received the order to enter the Forbes order into Skynet, trying to convey it through the command system to the 81 Armored Division.

However, after several successive operations, the staff officer found that the instructions sent had not been answered.

What's wrong?

The staff officer sweated profusely and searched for the reason.

Suddenly, his gaze froze.

In front of me, a series of red warning signs, like a pond splash in a rainstorm, densely rippled on the Skynet screen.

The 1st and 2nd regiments of the 81st Division at the front have been completely submerged by the red splash, and the 3rd regiment that has just stopped behind them is sending a signal for help like crazy after sending the previous attack report, and the 3rd Regiment of the 106th Division behind the 3rd Regiment, and the 92nd Division of the Seuss on another road 15 kilometers away from that area

The staff officer almost exhausted all his strength before he allowed his stiff neck to turn and look at Forbes.

Forbes stood right behind him, his mouth wide open and his face pale...... Only now do I realize that many scenes and plot grasp are new challenges for me. Although I have written more than 3 million words, this is the first book after all, and I don't want to repeat the previous things, so there are still many things that I have not experienced.
