Chapter 245, what you said really makes sense!
"Your Excellency General, is there any news of my aunt?"
The person who said this was Wang Jiarong.
The man who is called the general is Poebof.
Generally speaking, 'brigadier general' is not recognized as a serious general sequence, and belongs to the transition from a colonel to a general. Not to mention, the rank of 'brigadier general' of Perbov still comes from the planetary defense force's own system, so the recognition is even lower.
But who let Wang Jiarong now only count on this brigadier general from his cousin's command?
Perbov was also a little helpless.
The war was in full swing, and he had to answer a phone call from a starship every once in a while, and he would be a little annoyed to be asked the same thing over and over again.
But I had to pick it up.
He completely understood Wang Jiarong, who was on the starship and was about to come down tomorrow to attend the Gu family conference, and he was anxious at the moment.
And at this time, he does have a message to inform Wang Jiarong.
"There is already news of Ms. Wang Qi."
"Did you pick up my aunt?"
"Yes, but ...... There is good news and bad news. ”
"Let's talk about it!"
"We have indeed succeeded in receiving Ms. Wang Qi, who has withdrawn from the city, and she is now under the protection of the army and is coming to our main position."
"Great! So what's the bad news? ”
"The bad news is...... They were stopped on their way back. The two Ranger-level Knight Titans that attacked us before and posed a great threat to the main position, they ran into them. ”
"Shhh...... That...... This ......" Wang Jiarong panicked.
The Ranger-level Knight Titan is not a Titan in the true sense of the word, but is essentially a combat mech. Its size has not yet reached seven meters tall, and it is still far from the real Titan mechs of the Mechanics that are known as 'God's Machines'.
In the Mecha sequence, the Titan Mecha is always the top power.
Small, generally a fighter soldier made with a combination of human body modification and mechanical transformation;
Medium-sized, with the Sentinel Mecha as the entry, and the Juggernaut-level Knight Mecha as the pinnacle;
Large, can be called a Titan mecha.
At present, there should be no such thing as a real Titan mecha in the Luman Kingdom, or in the entire Black Arrow Star, and the highest is a knight mecha.
But even a ranger-level knight mecha has a height of six meters two. For ordinary people, it is an absolute behemoth, and it is no wonder that many people usually refer to it as a 'Knight Titan'.
The normal price of a Ranger-level Knight Titan is 700,000 tax coins, which is clear to Wang Jiarong, who is doing business.
And in the same way, she had seen the army of the Raging Owl. The so-called mechanical synthetic brigade, with a level of equipment or something, is really good. But she was also able to estimate that the total cost of such a brigade, more than 8,000 soldiers, including soldiers with various weapons and equipment, was less than 350,000 tax dollars.
This means that the price of a Ranger-level Knight Titan is comparable to two synthetic brigades.
Not to mention, those two Ranger Knight Titans will definitely not be able to fight alone, and the number of troops accompanying them will not be small, and there will definitely be a large number of Sentinel Mechas.
Such a force was intercepted on the way back from my aunt......
Wang Jiarong's current mood is not hopeless, but it is inevitable that she will be nervous.
"General Perbov, please get my aunt out!"
Pobov hurriedly said: "Don't worry, that's the mother of the Governor, how dare we be careless?" I'll get back to you as soon as I get the news. ”
"Please."
After ending the call with Wang Jiarong, who was actually far away and drifting in the galaxy, Perbov dropped the microphone and found his old partner.
Like him, Colonel Jordon Le Roy, who was born in the Wind Extinguishing Brigade and previously served as the political commissar of the 1st Wind Extinguishing Brigade, was transferred to the expeditionary force sequence together with Perbov and served as the political commissar of the expeditionary force.
After finding his old friend, Perbov said, "Now you can always agree to strike again!" If Ms. Wang Qi had the slightest problem on the way back, all of us would have died here! ”
Leroy sighed.
Other political commissars do all day long thinking about how to boost morale, how to make soldiers and officers fight without fear of death, and it is best not to retreat a single step in the battle, and fight to the death.
And what he has to do all day long is to drag their former brigade commander and current army commander, so that he will not be so reckless and think twice about everything......
This difference sometimes makes Le Roy sigh.
Facing his old partner, Colonel Le Roy said: "Correct you, I have never stopped you from taking the initiative." You are the commander, and you are the supreme commander of the battle. What I'm stopping is that you act rashly, don't gather enough intelligence before making a decision, and don't think through ......."
"Okay...... said, "I've got a headache when I hear it, "I've figured it out now, and I have to take the initiative!" ”
Leroy nodded: "Okay, I agree." ”
"The rest of the 37th and 38th divisions will be on this time. Our armored forces must be assembled and used in a unified manner. ”
Leroy nodded again: "Okay, I agree." ”
"I personally lead the team, the main assault!"
"Okay, I'...... Wait a minute?! Colonel Leroy, who almost said it smoothly, quickly stopped his words and almost bit his tongue, "You want to lead the team yourself?" Why? You are a military commander, you are not good at the main position, guarding the gates, what are you going to rush with the assault troops? ”
"Can you pull it down, the 37th and 38th armored divisions have all been dispatched, and only the 34th division will be left in the main position at that time, where do you say is the main force? I, as the commander of the army, must be where the main force of the army is, and where the people are! ”
After a pause, he continued: "What's more, the task of rescuing the Governor's mother is heavier. I'm here, and I can make a decision directly when there is anything, and I don't have to pass messages back and forth; I am also able to boost the morale of the whole army at any time, let them know that the generals of the alliance are never lacking in blood, and they are fighting on the same line as the front-line officers! ”
Leroy's brow furrowed tightly.
He actually felt that Perbov was right...... Makes sense?
He hesitated and said, "Then we are going to sit in the commando, what should we do here in the main position?" The 34th Division will have to face the enemy's main attack independently, and the pressure will be great. ”
"So." Perbov stared at his old partner, "You have to stay." ”
"Huh?"
"Only if you stay and guard the main position, I can fight out with confidence!"
"You're so reasonable!"
……
The matter was thus decided, and Perbov did things, calling a vigorous and resolute man.
The assembled troops were quickly assembled.
It's not easy.
At the moment, this so-called main position is just a small town.
A few days ago, when they had just come off the starship, they had come to the area as 'cargo' in a large pile of concentration boxes.
And when the 'time' was ripe, they broke out of the door and went to a residential area that the Gu family's local forces had already arranged.
The people here were emptied, and the 30,000 of them made this place their place a place to live.
At that time, the only light weapons they were able to carry with them were some light weapons. The rest of the heavy fire, whether it's artillery, armored vehicles or tanks, is still stacked in containers as cargo.
It's still there, where weapons and equipment are piled up, not far from their 'barracks'.
Under these circumstances, Perbov and Le Roy never dared to think of this operation as a trip. The guards and warehouse managers at the container stacks were all replaced by their own people.
Also, they didn't really stay in the neighborhood. The reconnaissance squads and reconnaissance companies of all units were all released.
Whether it's mixed in the town, or even outside the town to 'hang out', the control area must be large.
Anyway, in this operation, they also had a clear communication with the people of the Gu family: Are you afraid of being exposed?
People made it clear that they were not afraid, anyway, 30,000 people still had heavy firepower and could not hide. The reason why I have to hide it is for everyone's face.
In that case, safety must be paramount, even if it will be very conspicuous.
The caution of the two military chiefs, Perbov and Le Roy, achieved miraculous results in the subsequent incidents.
When they sensed that an unfamiliar army was approaching, even if the other party had not yet shown hostility, they had already directly triggered the first-level mobilization. The fighters, who were already waiting for the day, quickly threw themselves into combat positions.
The sentry in front, also ten kilometers away from the town, intercepted the strange army. No matter what reason or argument the other party uses, he will die anyway, and he will never let people go.
That strange army really didn't bring good intentions. In the case of not being able to get into the town, they opened fire first.
The Expeditionary Force of the Angry Owl is not used to it.
Reconnaissance squads and reconnaissance platoons were the first to engage the enemy. Even if they only have light weapons in their hands for a while, and there are many flexible and powerful armor forces such as Sentinel Mechs in the enemy army, they are not afraid.
Under their layers of resistance, the army of the Luman Kingdom made slow progress.
And for those people in the Luman Kingdom, the more terrifying thing is that they are obviously the ones who take the initiative to attack, but when the battle starts, it is the artillery of the Alliance Expeditionary Force that fires first.
The power of the 155 howitzer is enough to destroy even a Sentinel mecha with one shot. Three divisions of the Union, with almost three hundred and fifty heavy guns. After three rounds of rapid fire, the kingdom's army, which was taking the initiative to attack and had no bunker fortifications, was hit hard.
The first wave of failed raids caused the Luman kingdom's army to abandon their armor.
Then, the 30,000 men of the Alliance Expeditionary Force quickly occupied the entire town, and began to arrange battle lines at all entrances and exits of the town, in all directions.
When the army of the Luman Kingdom organized a second round of attack and cautiously approached over, the target they were going to attack did not look like a guest army at all!
- Where is there a guest army, half a day's work to turn an ordinary suburban town into a military fortress?
Barricades, occupied high points of houses, windows of houses...... All of these things became favorable terrain for the defenders. Moreover, inside the city, the artillery of the coalition dispersed their positions, but was able to ensure the concentration of fire anywhere outside.
And even more embarrassing is the artillery of the Kingdom Legion...... There is no alliance yet.
The power is not as good as it, and the range is not comparable. When they urged cattle, horses and other livestock, pulled the artillery up, and just after two rounds of fighting, the artillery of the Alliance Expeditionary Force quickly calculated their position, and the counter-artillery almost reimbursed their artillery as soon as the counter artillery came down.
And the artillery of the Kingdom Army...... The level is far behind, the second wave of artillery, it took a long time to calculate the location of the alliance's artillery position, and then found that the position of the people was far away, so they could only quietly push the artillery position forward, but they were inexplicably found on the road, and another round of artillery hit down, and it was finished without firing a single shot......
Without the support of heavy firepower, even if the army of the Kingdom of Luman has sentinels and mechs in the formation, it will not be able to attack the hedgehog-like town at all.
Not to mention the threat to them from the alliance artillery, after leaning in, the mortars and individual rocket launchers on the alliance's defensive positions are all things that threaten the sentry mecha.
The second and third rounds of attacks in a row were all lost.
It wasn't until the Luman Kingdom came up with an absolute weapon of killing, the Knight Titan, that the tide of the battle changed.
This thing is really ruthless.
Two Knight Titans with a long range. Dozens of kilometers away, where artillery could not hit, they fired dozens of rockets into the town.
It works well.
And when they fought three more rounds in a row, they reloaded their ammunition and began to advance on foot.
The Sentinel Mech followed close by, and the infantry cannon fodder was a little ahead. While the two Knight Titans were firing suppressive rockets into the town, when they were close to a position of about fifteen kilometers, the rapid-fire cannons and laser cannons equipped with them began to wield their might.
One house after another was blown away and destroyed, and the Alliance Expeditionary Force did suffer a lot of casualties.
A Knight Titan with 700,000 tax coins and a single cost of two synthesizers is worthy of its name.
However, this attack of the Luman Kingdom was still repulsed.
At a distance of fifteen kilometers, the coalition artillery, which had been somewhat silent before, once again exerted its might.
This surprised the nobles of the Luman Kingdom, who controlled the two Knight Titans: the rounds of long-range rockets fired in front of them were heading towards the artillery positions of the expeditionary force that had been calculated earlier.
The previous five kilometers came smoothly, and they never encountered the Alliance's artillery counterattack, and they thought that the Alliance's artillery was finished.
But at this time, the expeditionary force clearly told them: the artillery unit is not only not finished, but also maintains a strong combat power!
In half a minute, the expeditionary force's 300 artillery pieces fired four rounds of rapid-fire extravagantly, throwing down thousands of rounds of 155 heavy howitzers.
The army of the Kingdom of Luhmann was again repulsed.
