Data Wasteland

In mid-October, the temperature continued to drop, and the wind in late autumn was already a bit bitterly chilly. You must wear thermal underwear to resist the cold of the wasteland.

At this time, the expeditionary force has advanced to the edge of the border of the Silver Claw Principality, and the war will start as long as it is a few kilometers ahead.

Because Chen Xing adopted conservative tactics, step by step, and set up defensive points every ten kilometers, the advancing speed was very slow.

There are two reasons for adopting such tactics. One is that the composition of the troops is complicated and needs to be run-in. The other is that Chen Xing has no experience in commanding large corps and needs to adapt. He has always been cautious, in line with the purpose of carefully sailing the ship for ten thousand years, and the speed of advancing is like a turtle crawling.

During the period, Aaliyah sent emails to urge three times. Although it was not a regular military order, it was also very deterrent and Chen Xing had to deal with it.

"Dear Supreme Commander of the Expeditionary Force, isn't your army filling your stomach?"

"I saw you only advanced a few centimeters on the map. I dare say that even snails crawl faster than you."

"No, compared to you, the snail is like flying."

"Master Chen Xing, do you know the feeling of flying? Do you need me to experience it for you?"

"I hope to see the flag of our Northern Alliance flying in Silver Eagle Ridge before winter begins."

"If I can't, my mood will become very bad."

"I think you should know that when a woman is in a bad mood, something is likely to happen..."

"It's a terrible thing."

"I hope you won't blame this poor woman at that time, because it's all caused by the endocrine system. Maybe she doesn't want this or that result..."

At the urging of Aaliyah, Chen Xing was like a piece of elm wood. After a month and a half, Chen Xing finally rolled to the edge of the silver claw.

In a weathered rock area 50 kilometers away from the boundary, several wilderness buses camouflaged with red soil and withered grass stopped together.

If you don't look carefully, you will mistake it for an irregular weathered rock, but in fact this is the highest command of the expeditionary force.

"Your Excellency Commander, the communications station has been set up, and the Chief of Staff has requested a call."

"Access."

In the command room, several rays of light gathered together to form a male projection with a beard and scum.

"You don't seem to sleep well," Chen Xing said.

Even with the holographic projection, you can clearly see Lin Shiyuan's two blackened fish eyes.

"You're right, I haven't closed my eyes for almost three days." "It's not time to go to war, so I don't need to be so nervous." "When the war really starts, I can get a good night's sleep." "Suggestion You take some sleeping pills." "Take it, it doesn't work..."

The two exchanged a few words, and then went to the topic.

Lin Shiyuan's ten fingers with distinct joints bounced rapidly on the keyboard projection suspended in front of him, and the data suddenly appeared on the top of the tactical map like a waterfall.

"The four-nation coalition has been reorganized, and the army group of about 800,000 people is moving in batches on the border line of the DPRK."

"The coalition is composed of four armies, a total of fifty-five divisions and seventeen brigades, including 48 infantry divisions, six armored divisions, one special division, fifteen mixed mobile brigades, and two assault brigades..."

The establishment of the regular army of the Red Nation is basically the same. Below the brigade, the number is decimal, and above the brigade, it depends on the actual situation.

Squad

It is the smallest combat unit. Each squad is composed of twelve people, usually one captain, one support hand, two combat soldiers, and eight shooters.

The supporter is responsible for supporting and assisting the captain. The combatant wears body armor, usually with basic psionic armor, equipped with pistols, cold weapons, and blasting weapons. Shooters are usually ordinary people without awakening psionics and equipped with assault rifles.

There are also heavy firearms, precision shooters, snipers, scouts, mecha soldiers, medical soldiers, and so on. According to the different personnel configuration, it is divided into regular squad, assault squad, sniper squad, mech squad, reconnaissance squad, medical squad, etc.

A squadron consists of twelve squadrons, squadron headquarters, and logistics units, with about 200 to 300 people.

Squadron leaders are generally elite or quasi-guard, and are divided into infantry squadrons, fire squadrons, armored squadrons, reconnaissance squadrons, etc. according to different configurations.

The brigade consists of twelve squadrons and the brigade headquarters, logistics units, and field hospitals. Generally, they are also equipped with unconventional units such as mixed artillery and mecha squadrons, air defense teams, and special commandos.

Above the brigade is the "division" or "brigade."

All units at this level have independent combat capabilities and can complete the attack and defense of a certain strategic point. They are the smallest strategic units. The difference between the two is only the number of people. The number of divisions is generally between 10,000 and 15,000, and the brigade rarely exceeds 5,000.

Further up is the "legion".

The corps is composed of several divisions or brigades based on actual conditions, and its highest commander is the "corporate commander."

For example, the left army, the middle army, and the right army of the expeditionary army are the "legion," while the commander of the expeditionary army, Xiang Caidie, is officially the "legion chief."

The general legion commander needs the quasi-lord level or higher strength, or possesses enough prestige.

Above the corps are the "army" and the "army group".

Those at this level are all major strategic units, which are mainly reflected in the country's strategic direction.

In terms of size, the expeditionary army is a group army, while the four-nation coalition is a group army.

According to the practice of the red earth world, the highest commander of the group army must be appointed by the highest leader, but the army commander does not need it.

Therefore, the supreme commander of the group army can be regarded as a chess piece in the hands of the king, occupying a place on the chessboard at the peak of power.

If you take the traditional chess pieces as a metaphor, Red Dragon Duke and Zilan Duke can be regarded as more powerful chess pieces, such as carts, horses and guns, Yeyang Bailiu, and Laixi can be regarded as guards like Shixiang. Chen Xing and Earl George were soldiers.

But even pawns are pawns on the chessboard at the pinnacle of power.

To put it ugly, if you don't have enough strength, you won't even be qualified to be a chess piece.

At this level, one's own strength is not important, even status and prestige are not important.

The only thing that matters is the value in the eyes of the king.

Even a dog can become the commander-in-chief as long as the king is willing. However, it is estimated that after such an order is issued, he will be regarded as a faint monarch.

The group army and the group army group have the same strategic position, but the scale is different, and their supreme commander is generally called the "marshal."

If the three armies of the Red Dragon Principality are classified as the same strategic goal and led by the same person, it can be called the "Red Dragon Principality Army Group".

For example, Qin Wu now has an official military position as the marshal of the four-nation coalition.

Principality level

Don't have a "grand marshal", there is only the "kingdom" level, and generally only the red, sand, and green superpowers that can be called "empires" have "grand marshals".

But generally speaking, the generals are all monarchs, and they were appointed only during a few special periods in history.

"There are a lot of people." Chen Xing commented after browsing the data.

"It's really quite a lot. The number is four times as many as ours, but..." Lin Shiyuan smiled, "I heard that our opponents are playing a worse game."

"Haha..." Chen Xing also laughed, and he had also heard about these things.

"But you still have to be careful." After laughing for a while, Chen Xing narrowed his smile and said seriously, "Our ancestors said that we must despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically."

Hearing these words, Lin Shiyuan showed thoughts. After a long time, he raised his head, clasped his fists, and said, "This sentence of your ancestors is wise, lofty and thought-provoking..." His tone was full of reverence, and Nodding the ancient ceremony, "I have been taught here!"

"Our troops have been reorganized." Then Lin Shiyuan reported on the new situation, "Thirty-two brigades and nineteen battle regiments are ready to go into battle at any time."

Unlike the Four-Nation Alliance, the Expeditionary Army has no division-level units, only brigades and war regiments.

The brigade is equivalent to half a division, and the battle group is equivalent to half a brigade.

The reason for this organization is mainly because of the actual situation of the expeditionary force.

The expeditionary army is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are everyone. The coordination ability of officers at all levels is also relatively poor. The larger the army, the weaker the combat effectiveness.

For example, the head of a mercenary regiment may have more than one hundred people, or hundreds or even thousands of people.

As the saying goes, the sparrow is small and has all five internal organs. Most of the mercenary regiments have their own management system, and they rashly dismantled and reorganized them, not to mention whether they were willing or not, and without sufficient time for training, the combat effectiveness was basically zero.

Therefore, when reorganizing the army, it is necessary to adapt to local conditions and bring together a few familiar group leaders, or a large mercenary group as the main group, plus some scattered personnel and small mercenary groups to form a combat unit. .

Therefore, the brigades and battle groups under Chen Xing were uneven in number and equipment, and commanding was more troublesome than the group army. This is why Lin Shiyuan urged the establishment of a staff at the first time.

However, the advantage of this is that it greatly reduces the combat power of mercenary troops.

These are all veterans who have experienced many battles, and their combat power is by no means comparable to the old, weak, sick and disabled of the four-nation coalition.

But then again, although the combat effectiveness of the troops is different, the 800,000 people placed there is also very important. After all, the low-level troops are mainly thermal weapons, regardless of their quality is a matter of bullets.

As for high-end combat power, Qin Wu, who has a gluttony monarch, is still a headache.

Qin Wu now can at least be regarded as a high lord.

On Chen Xing's side, he could barely be considered a lord level, but his Yuling was not good. Currently, the phoenix is ​​still a "young phoenix" in the initial stage, and has not even reached the standard of a secondary false god. There is not much chance of winning against Lacey's manticore, not to mention the gluttony monarch.

Qin Wu's foundation is too weak to use the full strength of the Glutton Monarch, otherwise he and the Red Dragon Duke are at the same level.

But if it's a Little King, you don't have to fight directly, and you will have to fight against a super-large army group with a scale of at least one million.
