Chapter 181. Under the smoke of gunpowder
But this guarantee is clearly too far away and too risky. Liszt's forces could not open up the link with Alaska, let alone the Anchorage Line, which was more distant, and when his army of only a hundred men was consumed by the fortifications built by the Soviets and Canadians, his defeat was already indicated.
Prince Rupert Port is a military port, not to mention the Anchorage Line, which is adjacent to Alaska, and is almost within the range of the U.S. federal air force. Even if Liszt defeated the troops in the port because of a sudden attack, but so what, Liszt, who did not have enough troops, would not be able to cause any effective damage to this port city.
What's more, the Soviets or Canadians, who must have been counted in battalions, were also stationed in different port areas in batches. When the time comes, the troops that surround each other will turn the blitzkrieg caused by high mobility into an urban street battle that is purely filled with the lives of soldiers and measured by a meat grinder!
Frowning slowly, Liszt still exhaled softly, looking at the neat military map spread on the ground in front of him, the name of Prince Rupert was also quite clear. But his eyes had already seen the Queen Charlotte Islands on the other side, and the corners of his mouth also brought a little wry smile: "But if we don't have the help of Alaska, the situation will be very bad." ”
He suddenly remembered old Bunal, if this old man with rich experience in commanding troops and the skillful skills of politicians, he would probably be a little distressed now. But Liszt's eyes narrowed slightly, looking in the direction of the Anchorage Line in Alaska. Turning his head to look at Karl, he frowned, "So." The present stage. Is it to give up contacting Anchorage? ”
"That's right, our focus is on other directions."
Karl also nodded, his finger pointed to a point on the military map, and slowly tapped twice: "Prince Rupert Port is definitely heavily guarded, and among the towns around us, it is estimated that only some Canadian Army guards them, and even because of the heavy snow, the guards of these towns. Some of them will also be evacuated for logistical reasons. ”
Looking at Liszt, his eyes also glanced around at the captains of the Marine Corps, and he also answered in detail about the command base of these troops: "If we don't have the help of Alaska, then we have to make another plan, and some small towns, that's our choice project!" ”
Everyone's eyes were on the towns that Carl was pointing to, and the complex terrain was already quite harsh even on the map. But everyone's eyes were also a little clear, especially looking at the distance between those small towns. After silently estimating in their hearts, they all nodded and said, "A feasible plan." ”
"Definitely. This plan will solve the dilemma of being locked down now. ”
Liszt also nodded silently, he was still quite satisfied with Karl, a top student of the military academy. But his gaze still hesitated, swept the position of the Anchorage Line, and finally frowned and said, "Then we will choose these three small towns scattered in the mountains to replenish our supplies." ”
After all, it is a small town where Canadians live, and there are definitely a lot of daily necessities. After all, even if some food is captured, it can make up for Liszt's points. Especially considering that the war between the two sides will definitely break out in the spring, it is also extremely important to stock up on a large amount of food to alleviate the consumption of points.
But this is not absolute, in some ways, what Liszt called materials is actually points. Especially those weak, timid Canadian Army are simply weak chickens who deliver food to Liszt. This group of wolf-like Marines even appears in front of those Canadians, and it will produce a one-sided war scene.
The huge number of points can completely bring more changes to Liszt's troops. In particular, it is possible to continue to add a few more firing points or open a few positions for anti-aircraft missiles. After all, in a few months, almost all of the marines who have some engineering skills have their own set of guidelines for digging rock and how to use detonators correctly.
"Captain Liszt, where do we choose?"
A Marine squad leader frowned slightly, his eyes still on the three towns on the military map, all built on the gentler slopes of the Rocky Mountains in the height difference. The town of Telles in the north, Kitimat in the east, and Hartberry in the southeast also look like tourist cities.
In fact, in Liszt's previous life, after the clouds of the Cold War had lifted, Canada had disarmed its army, leaving only the policing police. And the mountainous region of the Rocky Mountains, as well as these small towns, have long been developed into resorts and tourist attractions, making them a great place to make money.
Even the area where the Liszt cave base is located has long been a national park in Canada, and it is the most protected pristine area by the National Tourism Administration. But in this strange world where the Cold War has lasted for two centuries, not to mention the development of tourism, the most basic small-town life has been decayed by the clouds of war, along with the scattered and fleeing residents.
Liszt could think of the frightened inhabitants of Canada, who were gradually fleeing to the safer South or East because of the military pressure of the United States and the Soviets, throwing the barren and uneconomically uncentered Rocky Mountains to the Canadian troops who came to garrison them, or even leaving the houses empty and becoming a paradise for wild animals.
"Kitimat Town, that's it."
Taking a deep breath, Liszt finally determined their goal, and when everyone looked at the point on the map, Liszt's hand was already lightly placed on the name marked, and his tone was also serious: "As long as we take Kitimat Town, then we can also pose a huge threat to the town of Hartberry downstream!" ”
Pondering slightly, turning his head to look at the not many marines behind him, Liszt also nodded slowly, and said as if to himself: "If we don't have enough people, then I will break the kettle and recruit a group of people on a large scale!" (To be continued.) )
