Chapter 376: You Take Charge

"Okay."

Ye got up and stood by the huge military map of the Terrad Desert, nodded and said, "The situation of our army is as the two of you know, in the Terrad area with the city of Tris as the center, the radioactive defense is carried out outward to the seaside, and at the same time, the infantry brigade is stationed in the rear demarcation area, the Murray Mountains. In terms of the total strength of the Terrad Desert, this, how many troops did the chief bring this time? ”

"One brigade of mechs and two brigades of mammoths, this is the maximum number of troops that can be drawn from the northern region, and if there are more, the northern region will not be able to cope with the sudden attack of the empire." Admiral Jax also told the night about the reinforcements he had brought.

Ye lowered his head and estimated, and continued with a smile: "In terms of the total strength of the Terrad Desert, we already have two more mechs than the Empire, and we have an absolute advantage in tank troops. ”

"Night." Jax interrupted the night, "Actually, the number of our mechs is not superior, after the mutiny of the Eighth Fleet caused our army to lift the blockade of the Imperial Fortress, the Imperial transport force was removed from Baku. The Lutz Fortress sets sail for New London, and intelligence reveals that the Empire is to airdrop at least three brigades of mechs to their army. ”

Night was stunned when he heard Jax's words, and couldn't help but cry out, "What? Our Federation only dropped a large group of mechs to the army of New London Star as reinforcements in half a year after that super-large-scale airdrop, how could the empire have three brigades of reinforcements? That's too much, isn't our intelligence that we have at least twice as much production capacity as the Empire? Could it be that the guys in the intelligence services are doing false information again? ”

Jax shook his hand and motioned for Ye to calm down, saying, "I was also shocked when I saw this information. But after thinking about it carefully, I also feel that the people in the intelligence department are not wrong. Our total production capacity is more than twice that of the Empire. But in this production we dispersed it into fighter and tank building, which the empire rarely touched. On both of these two things, our forces are overwhelming, so it's not surprising that the Imperial mech's production capacity is three-quarters that of our Federation. ”

Jax's words cleared the night's suspicions, indeed, the Empire's warplanes and tank troops were scarce. The Empire's Pru, these specialized fighters that fought in the atmosphere were not inferior in performance to the modified Hellfire that removed the beam cannon, but in few cases, they could not even guarantee the safety of their own air force's transport lines. In most cases, the Prussian fighters had to rely on ground fire support to counter the Federation's air forces. As soon as the ground could not give them enough support, they had to hide in hangars and avoid the fight with the Federal Air Force. Fighters are not able to carry heavy weapons, and bombers, capable of inflicting great damage to ground facilities, are unable to dodge strikes from long-range missiles from ground-based air defense forces due to engine problems. These shortcomings caused the empire to almost abandon the research and production of fighters, which made the air force in the empire's frontline troops gradually shrink, and the empire was increasingly unable to control its own skies. The same thing happened to the tanks, and the only tank that the Empire put into use in New London was the Longbow tank. This tank, equipped with only one 180mm gun, has a certain ability to kill mechs, which is why the Empire retains a certain production of this type of tank. But the tank has a small bomb load. The inability to consistently attack the enemy also caused the Empire to abandon research efforts and instead invest all of its money and efforts in the development of new mechs and modifications of existing mechs. The attitude of the Empire's top brass to mechs has caused a disproportionate proportion of the various types of troops in the Imperial Army. The Space Forces are fully mecha, and the ground forces are almost fully mecha. This kind of unitary equipment will inevitably cause the imperial troops to suffer a big loss in the future.

The Confederation has done much better than the Empire in terms of military diversification, and the old and stubborn role of the military department can be said to be indispensable. On land, there are attack forces with mechs as the main force and tanks as the auxiliary, occupation forces composed of infantry and tanks, aerial reconnaissance units composed of warplanes, and high-speed assault forces composed of warplanes in the universe. Even the bomber forces, which had been abandoned by the majority, were revived again in the Federation. Using the new bomber of the Aria Group's new ion jet engine, the Albatross bomber was born, and the bomber, a fighter unit capable of striking opponents' ground targets, was once again included in the ranks of the federal army, becoming a force that made the Imperial ground forces suffer a lot. It's a pity that the new engine still can't be used in terms of missiles, otherwise the most powerful missile unit in the Federation can be roughly equivalent to the bomber force, and once again show its strength on the battlefield.

Ye bowed his head again and pondered, and began to walk back and forth in the office non-stop, under the superior forces, the development of strategy and tactics is relatively easy, and the use of superior forces to respond to all changes without change, and the advance layer by layer can drive the imperial forces to a dead end. But now it seems that the Federation's mecha forces are very likely to be in a disadvantageous position, although the gap may not be as many as the number of mechs in the nearly half brigade that Garancha faced at the beginning, but the Federation tank forces that performed well in the defensive battle of Tris can no longer provide great help to the Federation's counteroffensive plan, they have suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, and the remaining troops are not enough to maintain a commando team to a squadron when patrolling the mecha troops, and it is impossible to expect them to play a role in completely turning the tide of the battle.

Jax found another piece of information as he kept going around the night, "Well, that's right. Night, this time our army not only added a ghost assault transport plane, but also added a unit that you can't think of. ”

"What? Could it be a bomber? "Clever Night immediately thought of bombers, which can support the engines of transport planes, and can theoretically also perfectly support bombers.

"Bingo, it's a pity I don't have any sugar, hehe." Jax made a little joke to relax the night's tense nerves. It's a bit embarrassing to make a general strategic decision at night without preparation.

Not in the mood to listen to Jax's jokes overnight, he snatched the computer from the admiral's hand and began to understand the data of the albatross bomber. Night felt that these fighters would recreate the glory of bombers on the big stage of Tyrald.

"56 tons of bomb load? Damn, it's about the same as a jet bomber of the same class. Night exclaimed. This means that this bomber can carry the most powerful ground bomb of the Federation. The father of the bomb.

The father of bombs is the ground-blasting bomb with the most explosives installed in the Federation. It was inspired by a super cloud burst bomb called the Mother of Bombs at the beginning of the 21st century. Bombs with streamlined spindles, in the position of the warhead warhead, are placed with a full ten tons of high-explosive charges, and around these explosives, they are filled with high-energy fuels that are easily explosive, such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, methane, butane, ethylene, etc. Before the bomb explodes, the bomb passes through a certain amount of small explosions. The high-energy fuel is sprayed in a mist and then detonated in the middle of the warhead at 0.01 seconds, the moment the fuel is still floating in the air. The shock wave generated by the explosion of a large number of explosives, mixed with the high temperature and pressure generated by the explosion of fuel, can destroy enemy buildings and exposed living people on a large scale, which is estimated to be three kilometers in diameter. This kind of bomb is not expected to be ideal for the lethality of heavy equipment such as mechas, but because it carries explosives of terrifying quality, it can also inflict a devastating blow on mechas within an area of 300 meters from the center of the explosion, and can also give mecha a certain degree of damage within a range of one kilometer.

Jax bowed slightly. "The data on this has been tested at Isher Air Force Base, and it is completely true. ”

"And how many aerial bombs and bomb fathers are there at our air base near here?" Night directly asked the question he was most concerned about. Against an empire that does not have air supremacy, let the bombers do it. The Albatross bomber is not afraid of the thermal air defense interceptor missile, which the empire relies on the most, and can swagger to drop terrifying bombs outside the range of the empire's 88mm anti-aircraft rapid-fire gun, as for the empire's air force, it will be handed over to the hellfires who have no opponents for a long time, and it is estimated that those Pru will still cower in their own hangars overnight, although those hangars cannot play any protective role at all in the eyes of the albatross.

Jax retrieved his computer, retrieved a copy of the data, and then put it in front of Night, a large screen listing the ammunition depots at the seven federal bases near Tris that had airfields.

"Hey, it looks like the chief is already prepared." In the eight air bases in the Tyrald area, more than 4,000 tons of aerial bombs were stored in the eight air bases in the Tyrald area, and the number of the father of bombs reached as many as ten. These data have ruined the night music, and it seems that the Federation Army can return to the nostalgic and extremely nostalgic way of fighting before, the kind of extremely safe and lazy combat mode that first calls the fighter plane when encountering an obstacle and then finds a way to solve it on its own. Another question came to mind overnight.

"Sir, when will those albatross bombers be deployed to our army?" If those bombers were still on the production line, the best plans for the night would have been in vain, and all the plans were done around these new bombers.

"All the albatrosses are in the ocean near the Tyrald Desert, hehe." Jax laughed, knowing that the plan for the night had gone with what he had originally planned.

"Hmm." Ye nodded thoughtfully, gathered his thoughts a little, and then briefly explained his strategy to the two famous commanders on the New London Star.

"First of all, in the choice of route for the counteroffensive, I think that our troops should choose the urban route along the left and right of the Tyrad desert near the coast. In this way, the disadvantage of our troops' mechs can be compensated for by the Navy's air forces, which are definitely faster to attack there than from our base. "Night connects the cities closest to the sea in the Tyrald Desert, forming two red lines to surround the largest city in the Tyrald Desert, Tyrald, "When the two forces attack, try to break up the Empire's forces when they are assembled, so as to avoid the concentration of the Imperial troops against the first force." ”

Garancha raised his hand and said with a smile: "What if it's too late, the imperial commander can organize the assembly of troops in the rear of the defense line, our attack force is powerless." ”

Ye sneered, laughing so that the two people who listened to him were terrified, "Hehe, I just want the imperial troops to assemble in their rear, the further back the better, preferably here." Night pointed to the area near Tyrald, where there were two oases, and near these two valuable oases were two large imperial military fortresses.

"The more violently our troops attack and advance faster, the more likely it is that the Empire will assemble in these two places, and once the Empire assembles here, hehe, our Father of Bombs will call on their heads." At this moment, a demon's tail flashed behind the night.

The corners of Jax's mouth hooked slightly, picked up a laser pointer, pointed to the middle of the Tyrald Desert, pointed to a weak point in the night plan, and said, "What if the Imperial forces attack us along the central region of Tyrald after all our forces have left?" ”

"Simple, the Empire's concentrated attack is easy to crack, and two or three concentrated bombardments can force the Empire to disperse their forces." Night still relies on the powerful attack power of the albatross.

Garancha couldn't sit still on the side, and said, "Then what if the empire infiltrates our defense area in the form of a skirmisher?" ”

The night was stunned for a moment, the bomber played a much smaller role if the skirmish line advanced, and the way to deal with this kind of attack was usually to crush the opponent head-on with more troops, or to find a weak point to break through on the front, and cooperate with the frontal troops to surround and eat those enemy troops, but this can only be implemented when there are enough troops to ensure it.

Once the Federation devotes its main forces to outflanking and attacking Tyrald on the left and right flanks, the forces in the Central Desert will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the Imperial forces that realize the Federation's intentions will definitely launch an attack in order to contain the offensive of the left and right flanks of the Federation.

"Well." After finishing his thoughts, he said, "We can set up an independent combat team, with the cooperation of the air force reconnaissance unit, to ambush the scattered imperial troops in a row, and give the imperial troops the illusion that many federal forces are attacking themselves, so as to force the imperial troops to assemble on a large scale, hehe, if a large-scale force is not formed, this independent combat team will eat the imperial troops one by one, so that even if the empire hits Tris, there are not many troops and supplies to launch a siege war." ”

Jax applauded, and a smile of relief appeared on his face, while Garancha's smile looked more like a sneer of successful tricks in the eyes of the night.

Garancha walked up to Ye, slapped his right hand heavily on Ye's shoulder, and said with that kind of sneer on his face: "Then this independent combat commando team will be handed over to you to be in charge, Night." ”

"What?" The night was a little hard to believe. (To be continued......)
