Chapter 217: The Great War Is About to Begin
Just as Tong Shichen predicted, after revealing the meat ticket of the third princess, the goshawk fighters in the sky really didn't dare to continue to shoot unscrupulously.
If they could attack and even completely destroy their targets without seeing the third princess, they would not suffer any punishment even if the body of the princess was found in the wreckage afterwards.
But no one dares to do this blatantly when they have already seen the princess, this is the following offense, and the nine clans will be punished.
At the same time, in the command hall of the Qin Ming, the picture of the mecha giving the middle finger to the camera appeared on the more than ten screens at the same time, and all the officers present naturally saw Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, who was chained to the operating platform like a dog, and couldn't help but look at each other, and the last one turned their eyes to Lieutenant General Qin Yuan in front of the round table.
When the old general Qin Yuan saw this picture, his face turned pale, and his cloudy eyes gradually revealed a hint of coldness.
It was only at this moment that he really saw the cunning of the other party, such a blatant threat, but they were destined to be helpless, just like a lion in front of a hedgehog covered with thorns, he obviously had overwhelming strength, but he couldn't speak, and he was really aggrieved.
So many pairs of eyes have already seen with their own eyes that Her Royal Highness is in that mecha, and he has just given the order to destroy the target, this is simply heartbreaking!
He could already see him in the majestic hall of distant Kyoto, and the impeachment recital against him flew like snowflakes on the table under His Majesty.
What now?
There was even a moment in the old general's mind that he would order the direct destruction of the target at the risk of cutting his throat and apologizing.
He knew very well that against an ace pilot like Suye Cangna, once he was forced to give up the means of long-range group bombing, even if he let the mecha group pile up with his life, he might not be able to help her.
And if the other party is indulged in this way, the two ace pilots and one princess as a hostage, God knows what kind of misfortune the Dao will bring to the imperial army, and what irreparable adverse impact it will have on the next battle?
However, when he looked up at the battle diagram on the large screen in the front. Suddenly, my heart moved, and I dispelled the idea of exchanging my life for my life.
Since the Federation people had the audacity to kidnap the third princess as a hostage, he couldn't use those two Federation ace pilots as bait for anything.
In terms of the Empire's combat analysis data, although the Federation's mecha body performance is slightly higher than that of the Empire, the Imperial pilot's pilots are generally higher than the Federation in terms of piloting skills, especially in hand-to-hand combat, where an Imperial mecha can often spell out three Federation mechs before exploding.
Thinking like this, the old general's eyes fell on the Yumen Gorge of the Keberian Plain on the map, the imperial mecha could not run over a long distance because of the load, and the mecha that Suye Cangna was riding was even more severely damaged. The damage to the body is destined to make them unable to bypass the Yumen Canyon, which is a necessary road.
In such a narrow area, if these two Federation ace pilots were used as shields, the long-range firepower of the Federation Mecha Legion would inevitably be restricted, which would inevitably drag this encounter into a white-knuckle battle in the Empire's favor.
In that kind of chaotic battlefield where the enemy has me and I have you, and then order the goshawk fighters to carry out covering bombing, at that time, the third princess was 'mistakenly killed' by our artillery fire in the chaos of the war, and that is really normal.
Although he was inevitably accused of defending the king afterwards, he did not deserve death. At most, he was demoted by the official and fined for one year.
It couldn't be more cost-effective to replace two ace pilots and a battle victory for one of the Federation's aces on such charges.
As long as the empire wins this crusade in the end, it will be time to reward the merits. It's not impossible that he can make up for it.
Thinking of this, the old general Qin Yuan showed a relieved smile and said to the officers in front of the round table: "Order the fourth mechanic to let him go and follow behind the target." Hold off the Federalists in the Yumen Canyon and be sure to drag the battle into a white-knuckle battle. ”
When the Imperial officers heard this order, their spirits lifted and they secretly exclaimed the cleverness of this strategy. And some officers also sensed the conspiracy behind this order, so they remained silent.
After giving this order, the old general Qin Yuan silently returned to his commander's seat, picked up his beloved purple clay pot and pecked lightly, and connected a cronie of the Goshawk Aviation Brigade in a single line, and secretly issued a killing order.
With the order of the Imperial Command issued, the Fourth Mecha Regiment, which had already retreated from the Ruther City to the Yumen Canyon, was divided into two teams, left and right, and gave way to a pocket-shaped opening, and the standard gentleman was invited into the urn.
At the same time, the troops who first arrived at the entrance of the Yumen Gorge had begun to occupy the high ground on both sides, forming a blocking momentum for the federal forces that had remained eight kilometers away.
In the headquarters of the Ruther District, the atmosphere was solemn.
"The commander is a decoy." Blackstone's interim commander, Ma Caiping, looked at the information coming from the front line, and reminded with a dry throat.
"It's a bait, but it's a clear bait, it's really Colonel Suye, oh, and a little friend from Yuechi University, who actually tied up the third princess of the empire, and it's really the style of your Blackstone people."
Captain Feng Shangming laughed three times, slowly smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The people of the empire can be fearless of death for the sake of righteousness, but they don't know that we people of the Federation will choose to die for some beliefs at some moments!" ”
"But"
Ma Caiping still wanted to say something, but he saw that General Feng Shangming had already put down the teacup and stood up slowly, but there was absolute confidence in his cloudy eyes, and he scolded Fang Xuan and said:
"Pass the order! Advance in a Morcer Peak array! At all costs, we must bring Colonel Suyer back! ”
Only a few people present understood that fighting a war to the deadlock stage is a kind of morale and courage!
And when he sent his troops to the Keberian Plain, he had already used this as propaganda material for mobilization, so that at this stage, even if he knew that the people of the Dao Empire had set up a bureau in the Yuquan Gorge, they had no choice but to rush into it at the moment.
At this time, it is the courage to break the game.
The staff officers beside him looked solemn, because they knew very well what kind of tragic losses this military order would cause to the already short combat strength of the Ruther Military Region.
However, at this moment, it is really just like what Old Commander Feng said, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent!
"Invest seventy percent of the available air power to intensively monitor the Yuquan Canyon generation, even if there is an ambush by the Imperials in Zhilu Dao, we must give the front-line corps the greatest intelligence support!"
After confirming that this was a clear bait, Commander Feng Shangming issued several military orders one after another, he held on to the table, quietly looked at the camps representing the enemy and us on the electronic map, and said in a deep voice after being silent for a long time:
"Tell Chu Huai'an, even if you lose! Be sure to bring out the momentum of our Federation people! Hit those imperial dogs with fear! ”
"Even if it's defeat! Within three days, I and 30,000 brave Self-Defense Army soldiers of the Ruther Military Region will also be martyred for them! ”
"Even if it's defeat! Be sure to bring them back, too! Even if there is little hope, I hope to bring a ray of hope to the Federation soldiers who are already in the midst of a bitter battle and the 13 million people of the Ruther District! ”
"So, let him do it! We are not even afraid of defeat and death! What else can we be afraid of! ”
"Imperial dogs? It's not even worth carrying our shoes!! ”
Hearing the words of the old military commander, the officers present who were originally worried suddenly became enthusiastic, and their eyes were filled with bloodshots.
Oh, yes! We are not even afraid of defeat and death! What else is there to be afraid of!
That night, the Ninth Mechanist Division of the Ruser Army, which had already chased into the Yumen Canyon, took the remnants of the four mecha regiments of the Blackstone Third Mixed Brigade as the vanguard, turned into a black arrow on the battle map, and rushed towards the pocket laid by the imperial people in the Yumen Canyon at all costs.
At the same time, the siege tanks and armored vehicles of the Mechic Corps on the high ground of the battle began to erupt with brilliant artillery fire, and the shells whistled towards the surging iron stream of the Federation.
And the Imperial Expeditionary Force had been silent, and the mecha mixed brigade behind the broken mecha rushed along the scorched earth, all the way, and the iron armor ran over all the way.
The battle of Yumen Canyon, after the first shell turned into a cloud of fireworks in the array of the Federal Mechanic Division, it began! (To be continued......)
