"Who are you? From which troops? ”

"Gorky Dimitrau, sergeant, from the 3rd Company of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Brigade."

"Shouldn't this be the position of the 9th Company? What about the three of you, and the others? ”

"It's all from the 9th Company here...... Our 3rd company died over there. ”

“…… I'm sorry we're late, but we'll avenge you. ”

"If you can, please take me with you."

……

Faced with the request of the comrade in front of him, Major Rohr Deliu felt a little embarrassed.

He was the commander of the 5th Composite Battalion of the 47th Brigade, and the troops he led were carrying out the task of encirclement.

Compared with the troops who participated in the war before, the information he has now obtained is relatively complete.

Breaking through the defense line of the 47th Brigade from the south, it attacked the Mechanized Corps of the Union Army, which was advancing along the Western Desert Avenue, and the total number was probably around fifteen thousand.

They were fully equipped with all types of armor, and had a large number of mechanical self-propelled guns to accompany the attack.

Their attack inflicted considerable losses on the Union troops advancing along the avenue.

But the alliance's troops also reacted quickly, not only starting to counterattack, but also planning to deploy troops and fight an encirclement battle.

If you dare to attack, then don't even think about running away.

The troops of the Wind Extinguishing Brigade and the Beast Slayer Brigade carried out the first wave of strategy. Heavy artillery and armored units were put into front-line battles. The 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Beast Slayer Brigade split into many companies and copied to the south of this mechanical legion, intending to completely encircle them.

However, things quickly turned out to be wrong.

The companies of the 2nd Regiment should have established a number of point-like defensive positions, and the distance between them should not be too far apart. The units were generally ordered to arrive at the predetermined target within two hours and begin building positions. Outside of these two hours, the Alliance Staff estimated that they had at least half a day to a day to reinforce their positions.

Major Deliou's army came to join the siege.

If the plan goes well, they will launch a fierce attack on the Mechrons from the south, and form a two-sided attack on the enemy with the Wind Extinguishing Brigade from the north; If the encirclement plan doesn't go well, they can also help the 2nd Regiment of the Beast Slayer Brigade block the route of the Mechanized Legion's southward escape.

But this elite mechanical army reacted much faster than expected.

The iron men, aware of the amalgamation, quickly sent out the vanguard to ensure that the road to the south was safe.

This is normal, but what is not normal is that the number of this vanguard they sent far exceeds the estimate of the staff at the beginning. Even, a considerable part of the heavy artillery that originally supported the frontal battlefield was transferred to fight the infantry companies that were copied behind.

At this time, the troops of the 2nd Regiment of the Beast Slayer Brigade suffered heavily.

The encounters of the 3rd and 9th companies are the epitome of this problem.

They were not the only ones who had an accident, there were also several companies whose positions were attacked and all suffered varying degrees of losses.

It's just that the 3rd Company and the 9th Company are the two worst companies, and they are almost gone.

Major Deliu was ashamed.

His troops arrived just as the mechanical monsters were launching their final offensive. They had already detected the battle situation on this side in advance, and the artillery company in the synthetic battalion launched an artillery bombardment position and opened fire on the enemy; The two fastest mechanized infantry companies came racing in the desert,

But they were still a step slower. By the time their artillery fire was in full swing, the enemy was already making the last wave of attacks; By the time the Edifier armored vehicle was in place, the enemies, who realized that they could not successfully break through, retreated like a tide.

In the middle of the position, they found only one survivor - a sergeant from the 3rd Company of the 2nd Regiment of the Beast Slayer Brigade, but fighting in the position of the 9th Company.

Faced with the sergeant's request to act with them, Major Deliu was embarrassed and refused.

Sergeant Dimitlau should go to his own unit and report what happened to his superiors.

But...... Actually, the more important reason is......

Guilty.

In addition to the guilt of coming late, there is also a more core element: the 47th Brigade, which was supposed to be guarding the south and blocking the enemy to the south, let such a large wave of mechanical legions in, and they obviously made a big mistake.

Whether it was a mistake or a problem of ability, in the end, it was because they didn't do a good job in this matter, so that the brother troops in the middle were suddenly attacked, and they had to hold their positions against such a large number of differences.

The unit to which Deliu belonged went north to participate in the siege, which was to make up for the loss.

Perhaps, for the overall situation of the war, their operation to the north is 'not too late', but for the 3rd and 9th companies, it is 'too late'.

In this case, how could he be embarrassed to let Dimitrau follow?

In case these two companies were the only remaining Dumiao Miao who also died in the ensuing battle, he would feel guilty to death.

The soldiers of the 475th battalion, after seeing the situation of the position of the 9th company, had a similar mentality to their commander.

Between their shame, they burned with rage.

If you want to wash away your shame, you can only use the remains of the enemy!

Bidding farewell to Dimitrau, the 475th Battalion consisted of nine hundred fighters and continued northward.

Three hours later, they received an order from the command to launch an offensive against the enemy.

So, the Lion tank, the Rambler chariot, and the 155 towed artillery all poured out the anger of the warriors on the heads of those mechanical monsters. They have to wash away their shame in this way.

On the flat battlefield, the armored forces spread out in vastness. The artillery had already stopped in the distance, and 12 heavy guns began to project fire in the direction of the attack of the armored forces. A hundred shells were fired almost every two minutes, and the 475 battalion had enough shells in reserve for twenty minutes.

After the artillery fire, the Lion tank was at the forefront, the tank guns were constantly firing, and the parallel machine guns equipped with it were firing wildly.

Accompanying the charge next to the tank were infantry vehicles, whose cannons could not penetrate the armor of the opposing tank, but were lethal to other units. It is equipped with a machine gun that can raise the elevation angle and strike at flying UAVs. Not to mention, there are several anti-aircraft combat vehicles, special anti-aircraft machine guns and equipped fire control systems, which are more effective against UAVs.

The enemy was obviously not well prepared in the south, and the troops that resisted the line seemed to be the mechanized unit that attacked the position of the 9th Company, and as a result, lost more than a third of its troops and lost most of the Challenger tanks.

They were defenseless under the retaliatory counterattack of the 475th Battalion. Bombed by artillery, then rushed by armored troops, the entire line of defense was penetrated. And then the infantry on top cleared the rest of the enemy, and the whole battle situation was completely inclined to Major Deliou's side with almost no resistance.

Subsequently, the troops continued forward and discovered the main artillery positions of the enemy.

There, at least a hundred self-propelled guns, the muzzles of which were facing the north.

This artillery position was stabbed in the asshole by armored troops, so what is the end?

The entire unmanned self-propelled artillery position was completely dismantled within half an hour, and not a single self-propelled gun escaped.

……

The field command post of the Alliance, more than a dozen officers, gathered here.

They had just received the latest information, the battle ahead was largely over, and of course the Alliance forces had won the final victory, breaking through from the southern front and attacking the mechic legion on the Western Desert Avenue, which had been wiped out.

Fifteen thousand mechanical units of all kinds were wiped out here.

The die is cast.

This 'big picture' doesn't just refer to the current battle, but also the entire 'Operation Flashtail' can be counted.

According to the reconnaissance intelligence of the alliance, Blackbird Heavy Industries is on the entire defense line, and the last mobile force that can be assembled and mobilized is already here.

This, of course, does not mean that the loss of more than fifteen thousand mechanical units is a major blow to Blackbird Heavy Industries. However, the 400,000 units of troops that Blackbird was equipped with on the front line were also scattered on a front of thousands of kilometers, and they were spread out quite thinly.

When the alliance grasped one place and carried out the 'flashtail' operation, after hitting a huge salient three hundred kilometers away in three days, there were only so many troops that Blackbird could mobilize in a short period of time around the perimeter.

Other troops, of course, both elsewhere on the front and in the rear. But they can't fly again, here, there's no more.

After these fifteen thousand enemies are finished, Blackbird no longer has the ability to dispatch troops in a short period of time, which means that the huge salient nearly 300 kilometers away from the Wind Extinguishing Brigade, the Beast Slayer Brigade, the 47th Brigade, and the 48th Brigade has been stabilized, and there is no other threat.

And under their troops, their target, that is, the enemy's logistics distribution base with the 'tail oasis' as the core, has been completely exposed.

It is estimated that in no more than three days, they will achieve their expected operational goal: the complete destruction of the enemy's logistics base.

Ammunition, batteries, fuel...... These destroyed armies of the enemy's purely mechanical units will face a greater and more insoluble dilemma than human armies.

The human army has no vehicles, no food, can run on two legs, hold guns, hold cannons, rely on portable dry food and water bottles, work for another two or three days, and can always hold on. It would be a morale test and a test of the soldiers' tenacity, but there was a way.

But the mechanical troops are different. There is no battery, no fuel, that is gone, say lying in the nest, then lying in the nest, you can't move for a while.

At the end of Operation Flashtail, after they have taken out the enemy's logistics center, there will be some more actions. Blocking the enemy's retreat and sweeping the enemy's route of supplies from further rear, the other fraternal forces on the entire front will attack, not to destroy the enemy, but to bite and consume.

According to estimates, it will take them another three days, and all the mechanical troops that have not had time to withdraw will never be able to withdraw. Human forces will then be able to effortlessly capture and destroy countless immobilized mechanical units along the way.

From this point of view, the significance of this tail flashing operation is very significant. And now that the dawn of victory has shone, it stands to reason that the atmosphere in this front-line command should be very good.

But the opposite is true.

The dozen or so officers in the command post were all from the four brigades involved in the operation. Either the brigade commander is the brigade chief of staff, or the brigade political commissar. Yishui's colonel-level officers, the lowest is also a major, and most of them are lieutenant colonels.

Under normal circumstances, there would be a lot of operational staff officers here.

They gathered here, under the noses of the senior officers of the four brigades, working together to coordinate the joint actions of the four brigades.

Before, this place was busy and meticulous, and information was transmitted one by one, and after simple and efficient communication, there would be orders one by one, which would be conveyed.

Now that victory had come, the ordinary staff officers had all been driven out, leaving only the senior officers of the brigades.

The supreme commander of the entire operation was undoubtedly the head of the Western Theater, Major General Yan Fangxu. After all, although the 'Flashtail Operation' is important, he still has to shoulder the command of more than 20 divisions and brigade-level units in the entire Western Theater, and he cannot go directly to the front line.

So, under him, the supreme commander, among the four brigades, there was also a front-line commander.

This person in charge is the highest-ranking person in the current command post: Colonel Ruggie Rickohi.

There are actually two colonels here, and one is Colonel Danny Develis of the Wind Extinguishing Brigade. He succeeded to this position after Perbov was promoted to the commander of the Black Arrow Expeditionary Force, and his qualifications were still young.

Comparatively speaking, Colonel Li Kohi is much more senior. He used to be a mercenary in Junk Town, and he started the organization 'Beast Slayer'. When the alliance took control of Junk Town, he was the first to invest, which can be regarded as 'bringing capital into the shares'.

Then, based on the past 'Beast Slayer Regiment', the 3rd Independent Regiment of the Alliance was established, and many heroes were produced by relying on real combat results, the most famous of which was the 'King of Soldiers' Lacroxia. And the Independent Regiment also relied on its military exploits to regain the special name of 'Beast Slaughter' and was upgraded to the 3rd Beast Slaughter Brigade of the Alliance.

In the process, Li Koshi himself was promoted three times in military rank, from major to colonel. But his position has always been the head of the Beast Slayer Brigade. In this campaign, he was appointed as the front-line commander by General Yan Fangxu, responsible for coordinating the cooperation of four brigade-level units. The other three brigades should respect his opinion and accept their assignments.

In the previous concerted efforts, Li Koxi has always maintained a calm attitude. Not much to say, every time it is a decisive decision made in an argument.

And now, the battle has been won, and some of his emotions are finally unbearable.

After driving out the ordinary staff officers, he sat in the most central position and sprayed wildly for more than ten minutes.

Everyone silently endured the wrath of the veteran colonel.

In this battle, the Beast Slayer Brigade suffered the heaviest casualties.

And the most ferocious ones he sprayed were the three officers of the 47th Brigade.
