Chapter 705: Gambling
[Thank you to the full-time angels, come to this set again, Lin Honghan and several other big monthly pass support!]
"Can't you refuse?" Jafidi gave a thoughtful expression, then nodded, "That's right, we have lost the lives of more than 7,000 warriors. If you can't completely annihilate the enemy army, it will not be enough to wash away this shame. They didn't worry that we wouldn't go up the mountain, and the mountain was their designated battlefield, and it was really tricky. ”
Leo suddenly let out a hearty laugh: "It's been a long time since I've met such an opponent, but I think it's quite interesting." That young man, not only is he outstanding in liliang and skills, but he is also very good in strategy, which forces us to fight. The old head said this, and there were faint pains all over his body, which reminded him of Zero's handsome face with a golden flame burning in his right eye.
Yafidi turned back to a few staff officers and said, "Bring out the terrain at the southern end of the Eternal Mountain Range and calculate where they are most likely to place the battlefield. ”
The three staff officers nodded and had a secret conversation with their operators, who entered various parameters and used the powerful logic of the brain to calculate the most likely area of the enemy position. After a lengthy series of calculations, Brain and Plasma Tactical Pad came online, and the map of the Eternal Mountains was presented as a diorama on the Tactical Board.
In the middle of the southern end of the mountain range, three areas are highlighted in red, arranged from A to C, and are the areas that the staff officers have determined based on their own experience and the calculations of their brains that are most likely to be enemy positions. These three areas are platform areas in the middle of the mountain range, which is conducive to the formation of troops. The march route with orange high-light signs was also lit up one by one, winding up from the foot of the mountain to the middle position.
"Yes, if we attack from the front, then as long as they concentrate their firepower and bomb from a high position, they will be able to make us suffer. Leo dotted a few orange marching lines with his electronic pen.
"Then wouldn't they take the initiative? Yafidi frowned.
Leo Haha smiled and said, "When two chess players play, they all compete for the active upper hand, leaving the passive chess path to the opponent." If the opponent only knows how to respond one by one and can't find a new way, then he will only be eaten to death in the end. One of the most fascinating aspects of a wonderful game is how to turn passive into active. Yes, at first glance, our opponents have the upper hand, but they are not without weaknesses. ”
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"Time!" Leo said with his pen on the three positions, "what they lack most is time, even if the enemy army transfers all the supplies and food, no matter how much food there is, it will be eaten one day." Moreover, the reconnaissance team had already pointed out in its report that the workers and slaves of the three towns of Tucson and the fortress of Canon still had supplies left. If not our opponents are too benevolent, then they are too arrogant, they believe that they can defeat us in a short time. Because they have only enough supplies for themselves for a few days. ”
Yafidi's eyes lit up and he said, "What does the teacher mean that we are only trapped and not attacked, and we will starve them to death?"
"Of course, it's an option, but I don't think Lord Sauron should have the patience to wait that long. What's more, if we only get stuck and don't attack, it will make some people question the bravery of our Knights. To be sleepy is to be sleepy, but only to trap them for three days. During these three days, we don't have to rush to get there, but do another job. ”
"Work?"
"That's right, open the way!" said Leo, scribbling a pen between several marching lines, "since the road is too small, let's blow up the rocks and open the way." The enemy wants to limit the number of our marches, but I am not as good as they would like. Three days later, I will lead 10,000 men to attack from the front to contain their firepower, and you and Frank will each lead 3,000 elites to cut through their positions from the flank, and join me in the middle of the formation!"
"And their high-level group?"
Leo said lightly: "According to the information we have obtained, there are only three of them of the ninth order, and the rest are all of the eighth order. If they send out the Ninth Order, we will avoid fighting or entangle them with a large number of soldiers. As for the eighth order and below, Frank and I both have the confidence to defeat them. Keep in mind that as long as they cross their troops, only three Ninth Orders can't make any big waves. ”
Yafidi first nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "I don't know if it's a delusion, I always feel that Captain Frank doesn't seem to care about the success or failure of this war. Like the previous times, knowing that you were already injured, but the enemy's high-level attacked, Captain Frank also stood by and watched. If this is the case this time, I'm afraid that your arrangement will not be implemented, teacher. ”
After reciting Frank's order back and forth, Leo said, "I'll talk to him, don't worry, I won't let him hold us back." ”
"I know what he's thinking!"
When I left the conference room, it was already dark outside the municipal building. Leo glanced in the direction of the Eternal Mountains and walked to Frank's room. At the same night, at the southern end of the Eternal Mountains, a little fire lit up in the middle of the mountainside. The three mountainside platforms have been remodeled, and Franklin, who arrived here with his troops first, spent several days building layers of defensive positions here.
The defensive position was built against the mountain, and facing the direction below the mountain were rough bunkers poured with cement, which were erected with steel skeletons, and the shape of the bunkers was unmodified and varied in size. Their only advantage is that they are thick and hard enough, and even if they are directly hit by heavy artillery, they can fight for a chance of life for the soldiers behind the bunker.
The bunkers were scattered, and the positions on three sides were rigorously protected. Behind the position, there were several heavy artillery batteries. They were dragged up the hill by Franklin and other capable people, and with them, the defense of the position was more secure. In addition to this, the shadows of anti-aircraft machine guns and snipers can be seen on the commanding heights of the position, which are the second most powerful points of fire after the heavy artillery batteries.
Now, the soldiers in the positions are resting, chatting, or smoking in the trenches dug out of the bunkers. And in a semi-underground bunker fortification behind the position, it was arranged as a temporary command post. The command post was simple, the rough ground made up a rudimentary "table" with several ammunition boxes. On the table is a tablet brain, and on top of it is a three-dimensional map of the mountains that is constantly rotating.
Zero stood on one side, one hand around his waist and the other hand on his chin, silently staring at the map in Zhi's head.
He and the other powerhouses had returned to the Eternal Mountains today, with some burns on the back of their hands and body. It was the mark that Leo had left him, but in two days they would be replaced by new skins. Now, even if Zero doesn't deliberately clear the injury, the memory in his body faithfully performs all the repairing work.
Footsteps rang out, and Leah walked into the command post with a box of food. Putting the food and water on the table, the girl said, "Eat something, you haven't eaten for a day today." ”
Zero smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I haven't eaten for a few days now, but you brought it, so the meaning is naturally different." ”
He opened the box, and inside was a few slices of hot roast meat, next to a stack of fluffy bread. Zero picks up two slices of bread and sandwiches the roast meat and turns it into a simple sandwich. When he brought the food to his mouth, the tip of his tongue immediately discerned the various pheromones contained in bread and roast meat, as well as the total amount of nutrients and energy they could provide.
Zero turned off this aspect of the function with some annoyance, otherwise a meal would become a report of all kinds of information, and what fun would there be.
As he ate, he smiled, "I still remember when I was at the Z7 base, the first thing I ate was two pieces of moldy bread. As it is now, even on the battlefield, there is still fresh bread and fragrant barbecue to eat. ”
"yes, you wanted to complain back then. Leah said.
After eating the bread and meat in three or two bites, Zero took another sip of water and sighed, "Now that I think about it, it seems that it happened a long time ago." Time flies. ”
"It's fast enough. Leah leaned herself on Zero's body, rested her head on his chest and said, "At that time, my greatest wish was to become a doctor at the base. Who would have thought that one day I would come to another continent. It's like, it's all a dream. ”
"It's not a dream. Zero gently kissed her forehead and said, "I don't think it will take two days for the old men of the Knights to come up, and you don't have time to dream." ”
Leah snorted and chuckled, "I heard from Feng that you killed a lot of people, do they dare to come up?"
"They had to come up. Zero smiled and said: "If it is possible for them to regain the lost territory before, then they have to come if they don't want to come because of our toss before, otherwise, they can't save face." You know, they're knights. In the knight's shijie, there is no precedent for not being slapped in the face. ”
"So, they're definitely coming. ”
Leah nodded, "Come on, everything is in your hands anyway, isn't it?"
Zero lost and smiled: "You have a lot of confidence in me. ”
"Of course, you're my man!" Leah said with a proud face.
Zero couldn't help but pat her buttocks hard and said, "Nothing is absolutely perfect, but there is no such thing as a perfect jihua." All I could do was minimize the defects. There are also flaws in my jihua, and it depends on whether our opponents can detect them. ”
Leah asked, "What flaw, why didn't I see it?" ”
Zero's gaze fell back on Zhi Brain, and said lightly: "It's time." ”
"When?"
"That's right, time. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. Among other things, food for 5,000 people alone is a big problem. We're short of supplies here. ”
