Chapter 378: The Battle of Breaking the City
"Report." After the orderly came in, he gave a standard military salute to everyone present, "Fortress Thor is calling, the spare parts of the Thunderbolt will be loaded and shipped by the Fortress of Thor transport ship at thirteen o'clock tomorrow, and it is expected to be airdropped at fourteen o'clock the day after tomorrow, and it will be completed." ”
Night raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the orderly, "Really, Thor Fortress has spare parts for the Thunderbolt?" That's great. ”
"Okay." Admiral Jax was pleased with the news that the Thunderbolt parts would be available the day after tomorrow, and after a period of repair and adjustment, the Federation Army would be able to launch the preparatory assault of the Hot Sand Offensive and Defensive War in a week at most.
The orderly saluted again and exited the room, and the two senior officers in front of him were obviously talking to his leader about something that was highly classified, which was not something that a small second lieutenant could sit by, so he left Admiral Jax's office after reporting the telegram.
Night was clearly still basking in the joy that the Thunderbolt could be repaired immediately, and the spare parts in Thor Fortress should have been sent by Alicia along with the Thunderbolt, and Night felt that she owed the girl more and more.
Jax was also in high spirits because his strategy could be implemented as soon as possible, and happily said to the night: "That's great, night, hehe, the repair of the thunderbolt means that our hot sand offensive and defensive battles can start the preliminary preparation battle as soon as possible." ”
"Huh? What do you mean? "Ye didn't expect that there would be any preliminary preparatory battles in the hot sand offensive and defensive battles, and he couldn't figure out why this preliminary preparatory battle was related to whether his thunderbolt was repaired or not.
Jax saw the night's suspicions, picked up a laser pointer and pointed to the middle of the huge military map, which was the line of confrontation between the Federation and the Empire in the middle of the Terrad Desert.
"The current line of confrontation. It's too close to Tris. Imperial forces were assembled at their forward bases. Then it will only take ten hours to set out to attack Tris, which is not conducive to your delay, guerrilla, and defensive work in the middle of the desert, so we will launch a round of preparatory battles to extend the time for the Imperial high-speed troops to arrive in Triss City to more than one day. Jax's laser pointer moved backwards, pointing to the Tyranse Imperial Military Fortress, located two hundred kilometers behind the Imperial Line.
The Tyranse Military Fortress is a large base three hundred kilometers ahead of Tyrald. Previously used as a logistics base behind Tyrald during federal control, the Empire now uses it as the most important forward defense base in front of Tyrald City.
"To lay this base? How much time do we have to act? "Ye didn't know about the situation at the Tyrans base, but felt that it was a little farther away.
Garancha on the side knew every inch of land in the Tyrald Desert, and when he saw his teacher pointing to the Tyrans base, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the words of the night made him come back to his senses, and he immediately objected: "Teacher, this base is heavily guarded by the Empire, and we will have to pay a great price if we want to capture it." ”
Jax ignored Garancha's words and answered Night's question first. "Heinz, don't be in a hurry. Night, the hot sand offensive and defensive battle will officially start in a month. Now the aerial bombs and bombers are not fully in place, and the troops I brought with me need time to adapt to the desert environment and fight. So we have a month to capture the Tyranse base, but considering that we want to restore the Tyranse base to a certain defensive force, we only have twenty days from now. As for Heinz's problem, I can't help it, this attack has to be launched, otherwise, the risk of defending in the middle is too great and beyond my ability to bear. ”
Garancha nodded, he also understood the importance of distance to Tris's defense, but he was a little sad at the thought that attacking Tyranse would cause a lot of casualties.
The night on one side saw Garancha's sorrow, but war is a lot of cruelty, if you want to win, there must be sacrifices, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight can only be a beautiful fantasy in the confrontation between two armies of equal strength.
Night gently picked up a laser pointer and pointed at the two open spaces around the Tyranse base: "What if we transport a certain number of troops to these two points, and then cooperate with the troops to attack the imperial base from behind?" ”
"The airdrop will make you—" Garancha retorted habitually, but halfway through his words he also remembered the new equipment of the Federation Army, and instead laughed, "Okay, you night boy, haha, the virgin battle of the ghost transporter." The Reich's base commander wouldn't have thought of a bunch of Federation mechs running out of his safe rear and kicking him in the ass. ”
Jax's eyes lit up when he heard Ye's words, and he smiled: "It's worthy of being the first name in the strategic use competition, and you can think of a simple solution in a few short seconds, hehe." ”
The two of them were a little embarrassed to speak, and whispered while scratching their heads: "The plan has not been completely decided yet, I don't know if the imperial commander will let the sneak attack happen." ”
Jax calmed himself down and said, "It will definitely work, night, I can pack a ticket at this point, hehe, since the appearance of cheap and efficient long-range thermal missiles, transport planes have never secretly appeared on the battlefield behind the enemy to drop troops, it should have been nearly a hundred years." Hehe, the return of this ancient and efficient tactic will definitely surprise the Imperial commanders who do not yet know that our federal transport planes can stealthily pass through the Imperial air defense cordon, a surprise that is proven with blood. ”
Garancha also chimed in: "When the Imperial troops come under fire from the rear, they will run out of cover screaming and waving at you: 'Hey man, we're our own people. 'Haha, they must have thought they had wounded their allies by mistake. ”
The words of the two senior generals made Ye also full of confidence in his plan, it seems that his talent in commanding operations is roughly the same as his talent in piloting mechas, and it is a genius to describe it as a cold himself.
After Jax finished praising the night, he began to carefully consider the feasibility of this plan, this plan can play a role in killing the imperial base under certain conditions, but these conditions may not be available to the Federation, and the feasibility of this plan still needs to be created by the Federation itself.
"However, before the plan can be carried out, we need to push our line to 80 kilometers before the Tyranse base. The achievement of this goal is the only way to ensure the successful implementation of the night's plan. Jax said after careful consideration. Words to confront the Empire at a distance of eighty kilometers from the base. It can keep the Tyranse base at a relatively low alert level, and your own troops can also quickly support the Tyranse base after the sneak attack force successfully sneaks up on the Tyrans base, flank them back and forth, and take the Tyrans base.
"One hundred and twenty kilometers?" Garancha whispered, "We should be able to advance there in a week, but the Empire's reaction is unknown, if the Empire fights back strongly." Our time may be tripled. ”
Now the Empire's defense line is constantly being eroded by the federal forces, and the federal forces with the highly efficient reconnaissance of the air force are always ambushing the patrolling Imperial mech troops, which makes the Empire's defense line full of holes, and the mech troops are completely huddled in several important temporary bases waiting for information from their patrol cars instead of patrolling themselves. Once the Federation launches a large-scale assault war, in order to prevent his front-line troops from being surrounded and annihilated by the Federation Army, the Imperial Commander will definitely order the defense line to be contracted, exchange space for time, win the assembly time of his own troops, and then find the main force of the Federation for a decisive battle. And Garancha's plan most wanted the Imperial commander to gather his troops at the Tyrans base, so that the Federation could smoothly advance to eighty kilometers in front of the Empire's Tyrans base, and his own sneak attack disrupted the deployment of the Empire's troops. With the encirclement and annihilation of the main force, the greatest results can be achieved. It's just that for the sneak attack troops, it may be a little more dangerous.
"But who should command the airdrop force this time?" Jax smiled and looked up at the night.
Ye smiled bitterly and pointed to himself, "Are you sure, it's me again." ”
Hearing Night's complaint, the corners of Jax's disapproving mouth hooked slightly, and said, "That arrangement is to hone in the cooperation between you and the Bloodhell Commando, and one of the airdrop troops is composed of you and them plus an assault commando, Night." The other is also composed of an elite squadron of assaults drawn from the desert force, so that the squadron of assaults that contain the black triple star in Tyrald will be selected from these fifteen assaults. ”
Garancha had no objection to his teacher's arrangement, and nodded yes.
"Okay." Night shrugged and agreed. On the New London Star, the decision made by Jax is irrevocable.
"We also need your help in the advance battle, and your presence will not only strengthen the firepower of our front, but also boost the morale of our soldiers," Garancha added on the side. ”
"However, it will take at least three days for my thunderbolt to be repaired, and it will take at least four days to debug it." Night scratched his head.
The corners of Jialancha's mysterious mouth hooked slightly, and said, "That's simple, in these four days of attack, can you use the empire's chariot?" That thing will be completely repaired tomorrow. ”
"What? It's true? That's great, I've wanted to try that guy's power for a long time. Ye asked with interest, in fact, Ye really wanted to test the performance of that combat vehicle, after all, the 480mm gun installed on the vehicle was the largest caliber gun installed on the current mobile weapon.
In fact, Garancha dared to make this opinion because he knew that Ye was very interested in this chariot, and it was very inappropriate to let an ace pilot take over a new weapon, and it would definitely be opposed by Jax, but if Ye also agreed now, Jax would not be able to oppose it anymore.
"That's it, hehe. Heinz, tomorrow let the staff members send the planned task list of the early advance to the various troops, and tomorrow we can kick off the prelude to the hot sand offensive and defensive battle. Jax gave the order that tomorrow the Federation Army would launch a counteroffensive against the Imperial forces in the Tyrald area, and the War of the Federation Empire, which had only been suspended for a week, heated up again.
A large number of federal troops have gathered at the federal base in Tris, and the vehicles that have been decided to be driven by night will also arrive in Triss tomorrow morning for final commissioning. The Federation's vast war machine was put into operation, and preparations for the war began throughout the night at the entire Tris base.
The next day, when it was still dark, a liaison soldier knocked on the door of the night, "Chief, the goods you need have arrived, please go to your own hangar for acceptance." ”
"Well, I know, ah~" Night yawned, and it was quite unpleasant to wake up the night in the early morning, but now it's a time of war, and there's no way to do this.
In the exclusive hangar of the night, the newly renovated chariot lies quietly in the center of the hangar, the original black paint has changed the preptors to the night's favorite silver, and all the damaged armor on the fuselage has also been replaced, and the appearance of the whole chariot looks unusually smooth and neat. And the one-eyed monitor unique to the head empire was also replaced by the goggle monitor unique to the Federation, and changing this tank to this in one day was really embarrassing for the maintenance personnel of Base 3.
"Good morning, boss." When the maintenance personnel who connected the complete backup cables to the chariot saw the night come in, they immediately saluted and greeted the night.
"Good morning, everyone." Night waved his hand to all the maintenance staff, so as to save the trouble of greeting one by one, and Night is still very experienced in laziness.
Wang Quantang also drilled a head out of the control room of the chariot, and raised his hand to the night with a smile, "Yo, night, long time no see." ”
"Wang Quantang? Hehe. Night maneuvered the lifting platform to the entrance of the chariot control room, "It's only been a day since we met, how can it be considered a long time." Are you in charge of the maintenance of this vehicle? ”
Wang Quantang laughed heartily and said, "Smart, little ghost, haha." I can prepare a chariot for you, but Lao Tzu has been blessed in his previous life, hehe, go back and tell my baby that the first ace weapon of the Federation was prepared by his father, and it will definitely make him happy to the sky. ”
Wang Quantang put on his military uniform in an air-conditioned room, and the logo on his shoulder showed that he was a second lieutenant, and it was hard to imagine how he managed to get the job of preparing weapons for the night.
Wang Quantang saw that Ye was looking at his epaulettes, so he said: "Ye, you don't think I'm a second lieutenant, and preparing your weapons is cold to you, right?" ”
Ye heard Ensign Chen's words and hurriedly shook his head and said: "I have seen and trusted Wang Quantang's technology, I am just a little curious, how did the uncle snatch the maintenance work of this chariot from several multi-colonel-level maintenance officers, hehe." ”
"That's it." Wang Quantang heard that Ye still called him uncle, and he didn't mean to be born, so he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "After the chariot is transported back to Base No. 3 and I know that you will use it in the next three days, I will tell them that this chariot is what you designated me to be responsible for, hehe, I'm sorry, Ye."
