Chapter 381: Prelude to War
As the silver chariot passed by the mechs, all the pilots cheered at the chariot. They are cheering for the idol in their hearts, and they are cheering for being able to participate in the action with their idol.
Night didn't expect that his appearance would attract so much attention from the pilots around him, so he opened the public communication channel, "This is Night. Huaxia Special Major, I am very happy to be able to participate in the preparatory battle of the hot sand offensive and defensive battle together with you. I wish you all a victorious start and a prosperous martial arts. May your merits be celebrated forever. ”
"Ulla." The pilots cheered excitedly after hearing Ye's words in the public contact channel, and the entire contact channel was filled with marine-style cheers.
A pilot controls his mech to salute the night, and this action is instantly imitated by all the pilots around the chariot passing by the night. Starting five hundred meters in front of the silver chariot, the mechs handed over the weapon in their right hand to their left, and then raised their right hand to the silver chariot as they moved, giving a solemn federal military salute.
Ye didn't expect that his words would cause such a strong reaction on the public channel, and at the same time, he also saw the solemn military salute that those pilots performed to him. So Yaya manipulated the upper body of the chariot to stand upright, and saluted the mecha that saluted him.
On the road leading from Tris to the front line, a silver mecha chariot seemed to be inspecting the federal mecha troops on the march, slowly advancing on the right side of the road, and the federal military salute raised in his right hand was not put down. The Federation mechs on the left side of the road also saluted the chariot solemnly, and then stepped to the front line in the distance.
There were about three brigades of mecha troops on the expedition. 90 mechs. Some pilots who walk ahead and miss the night. In them commando captain. The squadron leader, or even the captain of the group, ran to the rear of the group, and then passed in front of the night and saluted the night.
Seeing this scene, Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect his energy to be so big, so that these pilots could just pass in front of him once, regardless of violating the marching regulations. Give yourself a military salute.
The loveliest thing was the army infantrymen, these guys directly asked the personnel carriers to stop, starting three hundred meters in front of the silver chariots, against the still scorching sun, lined up in a neat phalanx, marched in a neat step, and saluted in front of the king of the land.
When I returned to the base of Tris, I found that my eyes were a little moist, and these people I didn't know each other had so much respect for themselves and were so fanatical. From the eyes of those soldiers. Night saw trust, that unreserved trust. The kind of trust that the night can lead them to victory.
These soldiers from the northern battlefield are the ones who know how the Reaper commandos performed in a series of battles near Emma. For the Grim Reaper Commando, a commando who dares to be active in the front line of battle, dares to go deep behind enemy lines to rescue his comrades, dares to face a strong enemy, and regrets the terrifying ace unit of the Empire, these bloody warriors are all respectful and admire the members of the Grim Reaper Commando, especially the Grim Reaper No. 1 pilot who killed the Scarlet Rose that they originally regarded as a nightmare. Huaxia Special Major.
Wiping away his tears, he climbed out of the chariot and unexpectedly saw the two giants of the New London Star of the Federation, Admiral Jax and Major General Garancha, waiting for him in his hangar.
Ye jumped out of the chariot and ran to Jax's side and asked with a smile, "Sir Erwin, Brother Heinz, why did you two gods come to the boy's hangar?" ”
The corners of Jax's reluctant mouth hooked slightly, and said: "The two of us are here to tell you bad news, and I'm afraid that Heinz won't be able to stop you alone, so I'm here too." ”
Hearing the bad news on the night, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said with some suspicion: "Sir, what is the bad news?" ”
Jax motioned to Garancha to come, and his teacher forced Garancha to the front desk had to smile bitterly and said, "Night, don't react violently after listening, calm down." ”
Night nodded, motioning for Garancha to continue.
"The thunderbolt spare parts you want may not be delivered in a short period of time." Garancha finished his words quickly, as if he hoped that the night would not be able to hear clearly.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the hearing at night was still very good. After hearing the news, the originally approachable little ghost suddenly turned into a demon, glared at Garancha and yelled, "What? Can't get spare parts for Thunderbolt? Is there a mistake? Wouldn't Admiral Patton even want to send a transport? Really, there are no spare parts for the Thunderbolt, how can it be repaired? Do you want to complete the hot sand offensive and defensive battle? ”
The two generals let the night a series of questions, seeing the night like a cat that stepped on its tail, Jax could only smile bitterly and stepped forward to explain, after all, Jax is the elder of the night, and his words still have a great suppressive effect on the night.
"Night, in fact, you can't blame Patton, you should know that we have something to do with Imperial Baku. Let's talk about the collapse of the blockade of the Luz Fortress. Jax said calmly, as if he had already figured out how to interpret it with the night.
Ye nodded, he personally participated in the extermination of the Eighth Fleet, so he naturally knew the impact of this matter on the Federation.
Jax continued: "Due to the collapse of the blockade, the Imperial fleet has regained the ability to strike at most of New Britain, that is, Patton cannot guarantee the safety of the transport aircraft carrying spare parts. ”
Ye thought for a moment and said, "Then Admiral Patton can send a battleship to escort it." ”
Night's words directly made Jax show a depressed expression, and said: "Barton also thinks, Barton is actually the person in the universe who wants to deliver the thunderbolt spare parts safely to you." However, the collapse of the Union line of defense, and the fact that the pursuit of the Eighth Fleet disrupted the fleet's disposition, could not be restored in a day or two. Patton needs time to bounce back and clean up the already shaky morale of the Federation Space Force. ”
Jax's words once again angered the somewhat calm night, this time not General Patton, but the dead rebel commander, Halton. Barton has a very good relationship with the Xia sisters, and his relationship with Ye is also very good, if it is really his fault. It's not good to lose your temper at night. But Halton is different. He was a traitor to the Federation. The night can be scolded as much as you want, and the night doesn't care about the innocence of the deceased, it's Halton's fault, the night naturally has a big temper, and he ruthlessly counts all the inconveniences that Halton has caused him.
"Damn Halton, what kind of rebellion, not to mention his own death, and it caused Lao Tzu to have no vacation. It caused Lao Tzu to parachute into the desert without preparation, and Lao Tzu's mecha broke down and had no spare parts for maintenance. Damn, death kills human spirits, curses you to go to the eighteen layers of hell, and you will never be able to live beyond life, bastard, phew. Ye scolded Halton fiercely in one breath, and the continuous sentences made the two generals stunned again.
Jax could only helplessly pat Ye's shoulder and comforted Ye: "Night, in fact, when there is no thunderbolt. You will still be able to drive this vehicle in the Preparatory Campaign. I've seen the performance report of this vehicle, and it's pretty good. You've finished tuning today. ”
Ye bowed his head slightly and said, "Second Lieutenant Dis and Second Lieutenant Chen are adjusted." Guarantee that there is no error in the three consecutive shots. ”
Jax happily patted the battle lane: "Okay, okay, haha." At night, if you appear on the battlefield to participate in the attack, with your prestige in the army, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly increased, and it should be easy to boost the morale of the soldiers and defeat the imperial forces. ”
Night scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said a little shyly: "Is my role a big one?" Hehe, how did I not know. ”
Garancha walked to Ye's side with a smile, gave Ye a punch and said: "Good boy, don't get cheap and sell well, your performance in Emma has won the hearts of all the soldiers in the northern region, and it is estimated that what you say now in the northern army is more useful than ordinary commanders." ”
Ye said silently with disdain: "There is not a lieutenant general in the New London Star Army, except for Chief Erwin, I am the biggest." ”
Jia Lancha suddenly choked on the words of the night, and could only clench his fists with both hands, and said against the head of the night: "Night boy, give you some sunshine, and you will be brilliant." I know I don't mean obedience at the military level, and if you still pull it there, it seems that the teacher spoiled you. ”
Hearing Garancha's words, Jax just said to himself, "What's the matter with me?" But it didn't stop Garancha in the slightest.
Under the morning light of the desert, the federal forces, supported by the northern troops, began to move, and launched a fierce attack on the imperial defense line before the imperial reinforcements arrived. With their backs to the blinding morning light, the all-front Federation forces launched an occupation war against all the bases on the Imperial front, uprooting the Empire's supply centers, assembly points, and repair stations at the forefront.
Due to the unfavorable reconnaissance of the Empire, the Imperial defense forces fell into confusion in the early stage of the war, and the entire Imperial defense line was directly routed by the Federation under the initial attack of the Federation, and it was not until the Empire's troops at the Tyrans base went to reinforce that the momentum of the army's retreat was stopped and its defense line was reorganized in the desert.
In order to take advantage of the rising sun in the morning from behind the direction of the Federalist attack to cover their troops, let the glare of the sun disrupt the Empire's shooting and interfere with the Empire's judgment, all the Federation troops were asked to leave at dawn and enter the predetermined attack site to stand by.
Night drove the chariot to the third base where the Blood Hell Commando was located before the scheduled time, and Major Garth had been waiting for a long time with his commando team.
"Night Major, you're here." The Red Iron Cross Assault Troopers immediately greeted the silver chariot when they saw it appear in front of the base gate.
"Good morning, Major Garth, it looks like your commando team is ready to go." Night saw three assault soldiers walking towards him, and said, "For a long time to come, we will be teammates, please take care of me." ”
"Don't dare, we should learn from you, and it's our honor to fight with you." Night's words made those pilots who would exceed the ace standard even cry out, and they all said that it was their blessing to fight with Night.
Ye shook his head and said: "It's okay, everyone, I'm relatively young, don't call me by your word, hehe, just call me Ye, don't pay attention to those rigid and deadly things in the military department here, just order it." ”
"Yes, sir." The pilots of the Blood Hell Commando responded in unison, they didn't dare to call the name of the night directly, or use the most popular name, the leader is better.
"Garth, you can read the briefing of our operation to everyone, here you are still the captain, I will act alone to cooperate with your plan, after all, the cooperation between you and them is the most tacit, I forced in and said that it may cause you some inconvenience." Night said to the red baron, I don't bother to correct their name, as long as you don't call you, it feels quite unpleasant to hear that word at night.
"Yes, sir." Garth responded, and then said: "The direction of our attack this time is directly aimed at the Tyranse base of the Empire, of course, it is impossible for us to hit there in a short time, and it is impossible to attack there head-on, hehe, the turtle shell of the empire is still quite hard." ”
Garth's words made his commando pilots and Nights laugh. The tortoise shell, which describes Tyrans, who has a strong frontal defense, is indeed a good metaphor.
Garth coughed lightly, signaling that everyone should stop laughing, and then continued: "Our mission today is to attack the 177 outpost in front of the Imperial Tyrans. ”
With Garth's words, the map coordinates and approximate information of Outpost 177 popped up on the map display screens of all mechs, including the estimated garrison troops, the location of the cordon, and the location of some of the outposts. Raising his eyes and looking at these contents, he couldn't help but sigh at night the strength of the Federal Air Force's reconnaissance capabilities, especially the high-definition 177 outpost bird's-eye view, the figures of the imperial infantry on it can be recognized.
Garth waited for a while for everyone to look at the map carefully, and when he estimated that the time was about the same, he said: "The Imperial 177 outpost, located seventeen kilometers behind the current Imperial defensive line, is mainly responsible for the defense, vigilance and early warning of the frontal federal forces in Tris. The purpose of our operation this time is to completely defeat the Imperial forces there, and then cooperate with the infantry units to fully occupy the 177 outpost. ”
"Isn't the enemy disfigured?" A pilot from the Bloody Prison Commando interjected.
"Joe, be quiet, I'm about to say it." Garth said, his tone full of helplessness, it seems that this Joe is still a habit of interjecting in the briefing, otherwise Gars's tone would not be like that.
After successfully shutting Joe up, Gars continued: "From the point of view of intelligence, there are six 680mm two-mounted howitzers that can pose a great threat to the mecha in the fixed defense of the imperial base, and the other weapons are very damaging to the mecha, so you don't need to consider it. On the garrison side, there are two commando bears, one longbow tank commando, and one infantry company. On our side, there were three assault troops, a combat vehicle, and an infantry company to accompany our operations. The overall strength is about the same, but considering the difference in the ability of the pilots, it is expected that we will have an easy time capturing the 177 outpost. So my request in this operation is very simple, as long as you don't rush too far and don't leave alone. Now that the briefing is over, Night Major, is there anything else you would like to add? (To be continued......)
