said that it would be fought quickly, but the war on the Western Front of the alliance was still fought for half a year.

When the battle was going on for almost a month, the 700,000 astral troops behind had already arrived at the front line.

The coalition army totaled 1.3 million troops, which could be regarded as overwhelming in the next five months, but it was still temporarily suppressed by the mechanical legion of Blackbird Heavy Industries in some battle situations.

This also reflects from the side how nonsense Cai Minjin's original idea of producing results in three weeks, ending the battle in six weeks, and rushing back to the Fetcher system for the New Year.

If Yan Fangxu wants to say what the root cause is, then he thinks that the Astral Army of the 3rd Legion of the Dragon Eagle is not as effective as expected.

Strictly speaking, according to the most standard requirements of the Empire, the combat effectiveness of the Astral Army should be very strong. In terms of the quality of the soldiers, it should be one in a hundred.

The Alliance's army, trained by the Governor's magical boot camp, is able to meet the minimum requirements of the Astral Army for recruits.

However, this is not the case.

As far as Yan Fangxu can see, this Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion is a serious Astral Army, although it is not a well-known legion, it stands to reason that it should not be worse than the Alliance's army, right?

But in fact, it is a notch off.

Take a random person's so-called large division as an example, there are generally nine reinforced regiments, of which only about two can reach the level of Union soldiers, and a few remain...... It can't be said to be a number, it's definitely stronger than the average soldier. For example, the soldiers of the Luman Kingdom encountered in the Black Arrow Star were far inferior to them.

However, compared to the level of the Union soldiers, it is still a step behind.

And that's just a matter of the quality of the soldiers, the equipment of these people ...... Yan Fangxu still couldn't look at it.

This group of astral troops is not even equipped with enough troop transport vehicles.

If it weren't for the Alliance's sufficient logistical support and the mobilization of a large number of civilian vehicles and trains that had just been built to help transport them, these Astral Bounds would have to travel a distance of three or four thousand kilometers on two legs to fight on the Western Front.

Then the battle is going to be over, and these people may not be able to go.

The army of the alliance, even if it is a third-line garrison division, it is the cooperation of infantry and heavy artillery, which is nothing more than a little less in number. However, these so-called large-scale divisions of the Astral Army do not have any synthetic forces, an infantry regiment is an infantry regiment, an artillery regiment is an artillery regiment, and an armored regiment is an armored regiment.

Yan Fangxu didn't comment much on this, maybe it was just that the military concept was different, maybe these people from the 3rd Army of Dragon Eagle felt that heavy firepower and armored power should be used together, which in itself was not wrong.

With such an army, perhaps in some Armageddon scenarios, it will be able to exert stronger strength?

But...... It doesn't matter if you concentrate firepower and armor, or if you are a multi-arm combined force like the Alliance Army, and then assemble firepower and armor when necessary, the total amount of firepower and technical equipment is sufficient, right?

They have a total strength of more than 40,000 troops under a large division, which is comparable to the four divisions and brigades of the alliance. But there was only one armored regiment inside, with a total of more than 100 armored vehicles and 40 tanks.

Comparing the Wind Extinguishing Brigade with just over 9,000 people, 80 tanks, and more than 200 armored vehicles.

The armored vehicles and tanks of a wind-stopping brigade are as large as the two large divisions of the Dragon Eagle Legion.

It's not a gap, what is a gap?

Even if it is pure infantry, whether it is the infantry company in the synthetic brigade or the troops below the infantry division, all of them have completed motorization, and all of them have exclusive military vehicles to the squad level; Each squad has two or three bazookas, and each platoon has one or two mortars; Each company had a heavy explosive gun, which served as a fire support point.

The infantry regiments of the Astral Army also have these things, but they are all concentrated at the regimental level, and they are inferior in number.

The difference in the quality of the soldiers and the difference in weapons and equipment made the actual performance of the two sides different during the six-month battle.

Often, at the same time, a large division of the Astral Army has 40,000 people, and the offensive efficiency is similar to that of the two divisions and brigades of the alliance with 20,000 people.

The alliance was able to use half of its strength to achieve the same results as the soldiers of the Dragon Eagle Legion.

In the half a year that Angry Owl has been fighting, Cai Minjin has not done anything in the future, he has obediently been the number two person in his coalition army, and he just needs to take care of his own one-acre and three-point land.

On the one hand, legitimacy and status were suppressed by Martins; On the other hand, it was also the combat ability of the alliance army in actual combat, which really left him speechless.

However, in the final stage of the war, there was still a conflict between the two sides.

That was when the enemy had been almost wiped out, and only one of the last strategic targets remained, Blackbird City.

Martins devised a plan of attack, with the Alliance's forces at the helm.

However, here Cai Minjin has made a rare objection.

In the past six months, nothing like this has happened.

And Martins and Yan Fangxu also understood General Cai's thoughts.

He probably came with a mission.

Of course, Falchers is not the master of the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion, but they have a strong influence on this force whose soldiers and supplies basically come from the three worlds of the Falchers system. When Cai Minjin set off, he received any special orders, which is really normal.

And this order must be related to Blackbird Heavy Industries.

The manager of Blackbird Heavy Industries, Irong Falchers, has not been found.

In previous battles, they had repeatedly spotted the spider-like mechanical monster with the face of Irong Faches, whose combat ability was secondary, and most importantly, she always seemed to be the key node of information and command of the mechanical legion. Destroying it would greatly disrupt the strategic coordination ability of the Mech Legion.

But apparently, none of these are the real Irong Faches himself.

Its body must still be in the middle of Blackbird City.

Cai Minjin's mission is to destroy all evidence of a connection between Blackbird and the Facher family.

Although the existence of Irong Falchers and the investment of the Falchers family in Blackbird Heavy Industries made the relationship between the two of them unclean. But they're already working hard to cut it, and with a positive attitude, it will be much more comfortable to destroy the evidence again.

In this case, Cai Minjin really doesn't want the league to take the lead.

Even if his legion loses a lot of men in the final attack, he will take on this task.

Martins thought for a moment, not intending to argue head-on with this rare Imperial Major General.

Half a year of war has calmed down, and the cooperation of this general is indispensable. In this final battle, you should also give some face.

He made a decision to have two troops, one south and one north, attack in a pincer shape and attack Blackbird City together.

Fair competition, the first to enter the city is king, this is always okay, right?

Cai Minjin knows that this is also the best result that can be sought.

He went back and began to reorganize the troops, secretly summoned a number of officers, and discussed the battle plan.

Although, before this, the army of the alliance gave him a great shock, so that he did not dare to underestimate the names of these planetary defense forces, but the strength of the army was stronger than the serious astral army, but at the moment, in such an important strategy, he still made up his mind that he must win once.

Then he heard a message:

After the military meeting, the commander of the Martins War Regiment personally led about thirty heavily armed immortal birds to the north.

Looking at what he meant, it was obvious that he was going to go down in person and join the battle sequence on the alliance side.

In the command post of the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion, the strategic discussion that was still in full swing just now stopped all of a sudden.

In the silence, Cai Minjin threw the document out of his hand and scolded:

"Can't afford to play?!"
