Revised Edition Volume 17 Soldiers Coming to the City Chapter 5 Attack on Selmo (I)
At the end of November 3077, the Nebuchu Front was finally ready to march in the vanguard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause I was in command myself, this expedition became very meaningful. Overmars and all the top members of the Global Council attended the December 1 ceremony. However, there are a lot of people snickering behind their backs, and most people are not optimistic that these soldiers in medieval armor can do much on the battlefield of Nebuchu.
There were too many people on this expedition, and the ordinary space transport ships were no longer enough to use, so Tang Long and Han Zeng's fleets were dismantled with optional weapon components, freeing up the most space for personnel to board, and most of the third fleet on the front line was also transferred back to transport troops. In this way, 110,000 people can barely be transported in it. Among them, there were 50,000 Taiyan troops, all of whom were trapped in Tang Long's fleet, making the population density extremely high. Han Zeng, perhaps unintentionally, or with good intentions, suggested that some people go to his and Dai Jiangnan's warships to reduce the burden on Tang Long's fleet. I dismissed it with the excuse that "each fleet is rationed independently, and it is not good to cause them more trouble, so it is no problem to insist on it myself."
Route B has become an unmanned route under the supervision of the Third Fleet's stealth Armstrong reconnaissance ship, and although the journey is long, it is tedious without danger or danger. In the middle of March 04, the whole army arrived at the Gonggong Fortress one after another. After a ten-day rest according to the established plan, he prepared to land in Nebuchu.
In his meeting with me, Dai Jiangnan said bluntly: "It is difficult to land, and under the coercion of our fleet, Feria has put almost all of his energy into upgrading the anti-aircraft artillery fire against Yu in the past few years, and the anti-aircraft firepower is really extraordinarily strong!" Speaking of which, a few years ago, if you could invest a large amount of manpower and material resources like now, it is entirely possible to take down Nebuchu in one go, but it is a pity to leave it to gnaw hard bones until now! ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "It's good to be able to pull back a game, it's useless to talk all that, think about what's next." ”
"I had to rush hard. Kintaro's set of things I naturally don't know everything, but I can still do my best to reduce the loss. Although it goes against my aesthetics, there is no way, it is your General Huang's strategy! Think about it, think about it, it would be nice to have some other means of support......" Dai Jiangnan suddenly saw Chen Qi behind me, smiled and said: "By the way, the devil army was invincible in Nebuchu back then, I don't know if it can still be used now?" ”
That march was an eternal pain in the hearts of Chen Qi and me, and we never mentioned it to each other. When the madman brought it up like this, I was angry but not easy to attack. Chen Qi immediately agreed: "Okay, why can't you?" ”
I was even more annoyed in my heart and said coldly: "There is no one in the Nebuchu Front to use for you. ”
Chen Qi turned his head and snorted, "I'll be alone." ”
Dai Jiangnan saw that something was wrong, and said with a smile: "But what did I say wrong?" ”
Angry words are angry words, I can't control her after all, but I can't really sit idly by. When he first came back to me, he said that it was "just a peaceful life", but at this time, when he saw the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the war, he jumped to a high again, which is really worthy of contempt! Fortunately, she is used to going back on her word, and she has come up with a theory that "going back on her word is the privilege of beautiful women" to justify this behavior, so I don't think it's strange. I sulked for a while, called the captain of the guard, and ordered them all to mix with Chen Qi, urgently practice G-style tactics, and strive to meet the standard within ten days. After knowing that I had given this order, Chen Qi changed his face to show me, and fried two more dishes in the evening. Although she didn't open her mouth to apologize to me and admit her mistakes, this was a very sincere gesture of reconciliation that she could make. I had to smile on my face, and sighed in my heart: I don't know how long the toss with this woman will last, it really makes me feel a little exhausted!
On March 25, 204, Chen Qi led her team of 30 people to infiltrate the Selmo area on a stealth landing plane. The infiltration operation was very successful, and the next step of infiltration and sabotage was launched immediately after landing.
Chen Qi seemed to have been in exile on the Nebuchu continent for a long time before returning to me, and then took advantage of the chaos to cross the Gaklay Strait during one of Crusu's attacks on Vorle, blended in with the defenders of Vorle, and then mixed with the intelligence ship returning to the main star. These experiences are probably enough to write a few novels, and I don't know how she endured so much suffering. However, I never bothered to ask, probably because it had something to do with my nature. Judging from their performance after landing, Chen Qi's experiences should be true. She is still agile and athletic, and she is well aware of the terrain and climate of Nebuchu and the way Ferria moves. In just one night, she led her team to quietly drive a fifteen-kilometer safe strip, killing twenty Feria patrols and destroying three small outposts. Although she said that she could further expand the results of the battle, me, Dai Jiangnan, and Jiang Xu couldn't wait. First, Gonggong Fortress made a flight of orbit change, aiming the fortress cannon Houyi 1 and 3 at the direction of Selmo. Then Dai Jiangnan gave the order to dispatch, and the Tang Long fleet, which was full of the first batch of landing troops, descended sharply to Selmo under the escort of the Third Fleet.
When the fleet landed sharply, I could understand what they said about the concept that "Feria has established an all-round metamorphosis class air defense network". Feria began to attack Gonggong with fortress cannons when he first discovered that Gonggong Fortress was trying to change orbit and enter near-space orbit, and although he could never hit Gonggong Fortress hiding outside the extreme range, it was a spectacular scene where seven or eight pillars of light were thrown from a large planet at the same time to scan the Gonggong Fortress in the night sky.
The sudden landing of the fleet was hit with a fierce direct blow. Not only did the firepower points of the Selmo fortress and the main island fire a dense anti-aircraft artillery fire and missiles, but even the adjacent air defense bases on the mainland of the Mascu continent fired a large number of long-range atmospheric missiles to intercept and attack. The Third Fleet, which was in charge of escorting, immediately became busy, intensively arranged fire suppression and anti-missile artillery fire, and quickly weaved a layer of defensive net with artillery fire, striving to keep the anti-aircraft artillery fire out of the fire net. However, the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery fire was too dense, and artillery fire continued to leak through the net, hitting the battleships of the Tang Long fleet that were landing behind. Blood-red fireworks burst into the air.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Dai Jiangnan lectured the entire fleet: "Every time a battleship falls, the lives of hundreds of comrades-in-arms come to an end. Work hard, try hard! ”
He was lecturing, and suddenly Chen Qi interjected into his channel: "Commander Dai, our side can be responsible for eliminating some heavy anti-aircraft firepower points, please send me the nuclear bomb parameters and the distribution map of the firepower points!" ”
Dai Jiangnan couldn't give this order. I heard it clearly, saw the sky above Selmo that had exploded on the star map, sighed and said, "Pass it to her." ”
In the first hour of the landing, the First Army of the Nebuchu Front landed on the island of Selmoben with only 4,000 men in disarray, losing more than 20 warships in the air, and about 5,000 wounded along with the astronauts and the army soldiers on board. The situation was so unfavorable that it even made me think of backing down in a very short time. But now that the matter has come to this, what will happen to the 4,000 soldiers if they retreat? What is the point of the death of the 5,000 soldiers in the air? I've been through a lot of battles, but it's the first time I've been able to drain my forces so quickly, and it's really heartbreaking. However, after the parameters of the nuclear bomb were transmitted to Chen Qi, the four heavy anti-aircraft posts on Selmo Island were destroyed one after another within two hours, and the intensity of the anti-aircraft fire on Selmo Island quickly weakened to two-thirds of the original level. At this time, the Third Fleet was finally able to gain a foothold and organize its defense more calmly. Except for a very small number of high-speed missiles from a distance, which still could not be intercepted, they were basically able to protect the landing fleet.
The landfall lasted until it was close to dark. The Nebuchu Front dropped 25,000 troops on the first landing, and with the exception of a small number of soldiers who had been temporarily separated by flights, a total of 18,000 men finally landed on the island of Selmo. The Feria Army in Selmo was a regular force, and after discovering that the human forces had landed on a large scale, they remained unfazed, and immediately counterattacked the landing army from several nearby outposts. However, the G-type troops led by Chen Qi were really scoundrels, and they were scattered in groups of two within 50 kilometers around the landing site, and after two nuclear bomb attacks on the Feria army that came to counterattack, no one dared to venture in. However, the psychological pressure of these two nuclear bombs was far more effective than practical: the first one killed twelve of Feria's keel soldiers, the second killed only two, and the radiation paralyzed three four-clawed spiders and a golden-armored chariot. This is probably the worst input-output ratio that humanity has achieved since the nuclear bomb dropped on Feria.
Under the escort of the G-team, the first landing force finally gained a foothold and set up camp. At the emergency battle deployment meeting held overnight, Jiang Xu didn't give Chen Qi a good look, but yelled at her: "You blew up the road ahead to me into heavy nuclear pollution, how can the people who called me march?"
This question is not for Chen Qi to consider, her G-type troops naturally have protective measures. But judging from the physical condition of the last Devil Army and Chen Qi himself, this kind of protection has omissions after all, and it is not omnipotent. Of the 18,000 troops parachuted down from the Nebuchu Front, 10,000 were Taiyan troops, and 8,000 human troops, most of them were equipped with heavy metal armor, lacked effective radiation protection equipment and fast-marching vehicles. It is impossible for human flesh and blood to support a slow march in a heavily contaminated area. In the face of Jiang Xu's rebuke, Chen Qi did not panic, smiled faintly and said, "It's the first time you have come to Nebuchu, but you won't know anything about this place. You know very well how the defenders of Velle held on? ”
"It's really no secret that you mean the use of illegal drugs." Jiang Xu said: "At first, there was no way to do it, but later the defenders carried it on everyone, and it became a military necessity like morphine." I heard that it was a doctor who vigorously promoted it there, and even entered the official production and use. Let's be honest, I've got a lot of things in place here, but what's the use of that thing for the current situation? Let the soldiers rush frantically through the radiation zone after injection? Although there are some anti-radiation drugs, they can't deal with such large-scale radiation casualties! ”
"A very small amount of Angel's Tears can be mixed with BHK anti-radiation medicine to achieve excellent results, I have tried this myself, the formula is in my mind, you might as well try it." Chen Qi said quietly: "For the sake of prudence, you might as well only send a few teams to try it out." ”
Jiang Xu glanced at Chen Qi a few times, and made up his mind fiercely: "Time waits for no one, just believe you." ”
Selmo's defenders were relieved when they found out that humans were using nuclear bombs. Over the past few years, they have studied the nature of nuclear bombs in depth, and know that ordinary flesh and blood humans and organic organisms cannot walk through the high-intensity radiation zone after the bombardment. Despite the presence of the same annoying human special stealth detachment as a few years ago, the number was so small that it was impossible to defeat the Feria Army Medium Outpost and Fortress Selmo that were fortified along the way. Since they have dropped nuclear bombs, these troops will not be able to survive for about ten days and half a month, and they can slowly wait for reinforcements from Masku. What's more, the number of troops put into the human race is obviously not large enough to be oppressive, and the Feria troops on Selmo Island should be enough to deal with it.
The lightly attacked Sermoferian army at dawn the next day by a landing force marching all night. Originally, there were only more than 800 Feria's troops at the Nanquan outpost closest to the landing force, which was obviously not enough. However, out of fear of the G-type special operations detachment and the lack of anticipation of the timing of the landing force's march, the Sermoferian Army did not send a single reinforcement to the Nanquan outpost during this night, but instead withdrew the temporarily organized counterattack force to the original outpost after being attacked by Chen Qi's nuclear bomb.
After the battle at the Nanquan outpost began, as soon as the commander of the outpost heard that there were no sword-wielding people in the human army, he immediately summoned all the soldiers of the outpost with great ambition and rushed out, preparing to attack the human army with 800 strong men who were familiar with the geographical advantage. In the years since humanity brought the war to Nebuchu, Feria's understanding of the composition of human armies has come to a certain extent. Except for the swordsman regiment led by Jing Wei, who was simply unable to deal with it, the rest of the human soldiers who were loaded with guns and ammunition were not above their level of appreciation. Since there are few swordsmen, then there is nothing to be afraid of-the defenders of the Nanquan outpost rushed out with such an idea, only to find that it was more or less strange: the human army did not show signs of large-scale use of firearms, and when they saw them rushing out, they did not flinch and flee in anticipation of the heavy fire behind them, but raised strange weapons that were five meters long.
These humans, armed with long-handled weapons, were obviously systematically trained, and the strange weapons were held extremely neatly, and in an instant, a dense barrier was formed between the Feria's army and the human army, which were trying to charge with all their might. Some of the keels who ran at the front were either blind, or they were strong enough to rush forward, trying to break the human army formation with the impulse contained in their huge weight, only to find that the tips of those long-handled weapons were extremely sharp, which was equivalent to turning themselves into a roasted lamb and piercing it on an iron skewer. The most powerful one still struggled forward two or three meters after his body was pierced by three or four spears, but he was still unable to get close to the human troops, and he could not die for a while, so he had to wear it with his teeth and claws. At this time, a group of shotgunpowder guns came up from the human rear team, and a row of guns was fired, and these warriors who took the initiative to experience the piercing effect were beaten to pieces, and then their heads were cut off. The soldiers who pierced them drew their guns one after another, and continued to stand up to meet the battle, the formation unchanged from beginning to end.
Seeing this situation, the commander of the Nanquan outpost was completely stunned for a while. He was only a good performer selected from the mass-produced keels, and his duties as a junior officer were not to think about what to do in the face of this new situation. After a minute of thinking, he finally came up with a way out of the way, and ordered to pull out all the gold-armored chariots and four-clawed spiders in the warehouse, and fight indiscriminately without setting a target! The goal of the battle is to disrupt the human formation, and then just rush hard! This simple logic is the most refreshing for the Dragonbones, and if they are given too complicated tactics, it will prevent them from fighting.
It is undeniable that the Dragonbone Brigade that implements this simple tactic is still a very formidable enemy. Although the 2,000 troops sent by Jiang Xu to the front were all experienced Taiyan veterans, they were still broken up two or three gaps under the indiscriminate onslaught of the defenders of the Nanquan outpost. Today's Feria Dragons have a great increase in physical strength and attack power compared to the time of the Baltet battle, once there is a gap, the protective equipment of the Taiyan army can not be fought hard, and can only rely on the squad as a unit to resist, and the captain with better equipment and military experience is waiting for the opportunity to carry out a deadly attack. Fortunately, at this time, a group of human armies also followed, and outflanked the defenders of the Nanquan outpost from the rear. The human army had more snipers and better equipment than the Taiyan army, and the first wave of attacks wiped out the fifteen four-clawed spiders that caused the Taiyan army's defense line to fail. The Taegon army, reinforced by human troops, quickly filled the gap in the defensive line, and the two armies surrounded it with spears. In less than ten minutes, the two armies were combined, and the defenders of the Nanquan outpost sandwiched in the middle disappeared.
The scale of the battle at the South Springs outpost was not large, and the 4,000 human troops against the 800 Feria army were quite bullying in terms of numbers. However, this battle verified the feasibility of the full implementation of the new tactics for the paid Riya army, and Jiang Xu's temporary command and cooperation with the Taiyan army did not cause any major problems, so it was still recorded in the history of the war for future generations to study. But for Jiang Xu and me, this is just an insignificant beginning.
Over the next four days, the landing force advanced 80 kilometers, destroyed 25 underground air defense points in Feria, captured 3 medium-sized outposts, and wiped out more than 2,800 troops in Feria. This was a drop in the bucket for the 30,000-strong Sermo-Ferria Army, but it had made them take the matter seriously. Before Jiang Xu, only He Guozhang was able to advance in the Feria Territory, but the situation here and now is obviously different from the Battle of the Gaklay Plateau.
Although He Guozhang's troops advanced hundreds of kilometers on the Gaclay Plateau, the Feria army there was very small and often unmanned for hundreds of miles. Moreover, the climate there is very unfavorable for the activities of all organic organisms, including the Feria Army, and the human troops have begun to use rogue-level life support devices such as compression-resistant suits and oxygen masks to deal with the Gaclay patrol, which is unstable in the white-haired wind, which violates the principle of fairplay and should be despised. By the time the rogue supply equipment of the human race was almost exhausted in the later period, the advantage of the Feria Army over He Guozhang's troops was obvious. In the end, it was only a 12-man reconnaissance detachment of the Crusu Regiment that eliminated He Guozhang's regimental headquarters, and they found that although there were more than 200 people in He Guozhang's regimental headquarters, they were sitting on the ground one by one without saying a word, so they took the risk to launch a surprise attack, and the result was a great success. It was a battle that couldn't have been smaller, but it made Feria triumphantly write the soldier's order, proving that the human army could not resist the might of Ferria's army under fairplay conditions.
And now? Although the terrain of the wilderness on Selmo Island is somewhat poor, the climate is quite suitable for organic organisms to exert their maximum energy, and the commanders of the four Feria outposts of South Spring, North Spring, Luamp and Pioneer Ridge are not incompetent. Especially in the battles of the last three outposts, there are reinforcements from each other, but they are still defeated by human forces, which is unusual. Selmo Commander Coulson didn't take into account the fact that there were many humans. According to his habitual thinking, the number of human armies should not be counted according to the number of Feria's dragon bones, but in piles and piles. Of course, the concept of "a bunch" is not strictly defined, maybe fifteen, maybe twenty people, anyway, it takes a bunch to top the combat effectiveness of a keel soldier.
After the Pioneer Ridge outpost was conquered, Coulson finally made up his mind, he wanted to take the initiative! The sentinels outside can naturally be used to gradually deplete human forces and expose their strength. But judging from the battles of the past few days, the human strength is just like that, although the combat effectiveness is strong, it should not be the opponent of the army of Selmo. It would be wise to take the initiative to avoid further erosion of troops and morale. (To be continued.) )
