Out of the cage

Chapter 1339 Chapter 27.12 (Part 1) Implementation of the general strategy "throwing a whip to cut off the flow"

In 2609, at the headquarters, Wei Keng judged the direction of the war based on the federal economic situation.

Although on the eastern front in the Nandu area, the Xinghai Alliance's military strength is three and a half times that of the Guantian Society.

However, as a large amount of food, water, electricity and other wealth systems in the interior of Yadong are controlled by Guantian Society, the consumption of the Star Sea Federation maintenance corps must be mobilized from other regions of the earth. From a pure perspective of jump consumption, thirty The food, medical and other logistical supplies consumed by the colonial infantry are equivalent to the consumption of five Blade Mechanical Infantry, three Cheetah Chariots, and two Armored Cores.

Not to mention that in the Star Sea Federation, the transfer of materials across regions has to go through several bureaucratic "oils".

Wei Keng: Of course, the war potential of the Star Sea Federation cannot be ignored. Although the current war situation on the Eastern Front is half-dead, the total strength is 300,000. Of course, if necessary, infantry recruited from the city can reach 2 million. .

After all, 90% of the commission from hiring these soldiers will be spent on games and drugs. And this is exactly what the Federation does not lack.

Under the business-private system, the money in the hands of the poor is not money, because the things that the poor are deliberately guided to consume are consumer goods with very low actual value. Can be printed like printing paper.

In Guantianshe's investigation of our young people trying to avoid loans, we found that the gaming industry is the largest money-drawing industry in the Federation. While the poor are obsessed with it, the main debtors and consumers are the middle and lower classes.

The Star Sea Federation can mobilize the lower levels to go to the battlefield all year round, using the data created by the virtual world to make those young people who "do not cultivate heavenly minds" lose credibility. All in all, if the Guantian Society does not continue to consume strategically, the Star Sea Federation relies on this system that is almost "game currency in exchange for the lives of the lower class" and has a strong ability to restore blood. As long as the slums in big cities are not empty, the dream of "metropolitan opportunities are unlimited" Without being exposed, the federal military camp can continue to blast 50 yuan good brothers.

The so-called first-class generals focus on annihilating their opponents, while first-class strategists think strategically about their opponents' economic systems.

Now in the future storm plane, Wei Keng is determined to devalue the currency of the Star Sea Federation at the appropriate time.

On the Star Sea Federation, under the control of powerful cyberspace, a large number of people who died of drug addiction will no longer cause social panic. Therefore, small problems such as medical shortages will not affect the currency value fluctuations of the Star Sea Federation, but! What about food? Where is the water source? When these most basic supply chains are broken, can the federal currency, which can only be exchanged for game props, be cut off by youth loanees at the grassroots level, or sell their future selves to the battlefield?

...The difference between winning and losing, certain key matters, has been ebbing and flowing for a long time. …

On April 4th, in the wartime base in the northern part of the Dabie Mountains, Wei Keng looked at the battle information on the screen. With the current contraction of the main force of the Federation, the Xinhuo Army began to attack multiple water conservancy projects in the upper reaches of big cities in order to force the Federation's general strategic decisive battle. The hub carries out strategic control, codenamed "throwing a whip to cut off the flow".

In the entire eastern part of the canal, the divisions of the Star Sea Federation did not seem to realize this, and were still obsessed with fighting in their own defense zones. Sometimes it consumes precious strategic power for some inexplicable purposes.

In the past two months, on the canal route from Taihu Lake to Gaoyou, the two sides fought thirty-seven small annihilation battles at the level of 100 people. ——The Xinhuo Army sneaked into the patrol team according to the guidance of the armed workers team and then ate them.

One is to fight according to the overall strategy, and the other is to have no overall strategy and is completely a corps with its own ideas. The future of both of them is predictable.

In the words of the Tianxin members of the Xinhuo Army, the Star Sea Federation team commander is like a fool, falling for the trap again and again.

In the words of the head of a reinforced regiment of the Xinhuo Army: "Before the war, you have to identify the location, transportation (set up card tolls), and several families that control the city's construction. Then, just send a column over to threaten, Those losers (the local security forces of the Star Sea Federation) will rush over."

The above experience was quickly learned by the entire Xinhuo Army.

The various columns fighting on the eastern front were mobilized back and forth, and the Star Sea Federation had a lot of strength. In this way, by gradually attacking these second-line forces, the main force of the Star Sea Federation that is huddled in big cities can be mobilized. ——After all, the end point of local offerings is the big guys in the court.

...The war gradually gave ordinary people in the Star Sea Federation a feeling of war...

After August, although plum blossoms appeared in the Jianghuai area, the air was rarely refreshing. People in the entire southeastern city took off their headphones, stopped playing games, and people began to go out of their homes, but not for a walk, but crowded in small public places. People queued up to purchase drinking water, and in areas close to the slums, fire hydrants were unplugged at night, and the water reserves inside were stolen. The water appeared on the black market, priced at one yuan a liter. sell.

Even though big cities can extract large amounts of groundwater for emergencies, this is a time of war, and capital is investing resources in areas where it makes money. In terms of public facilities, all parties have explained that they are in trouble and can't help.

Away from the game world, people began to discuss with each other more about how long the government's war against banditry will continue.

The security situation in various cities has even affected those blue areas with "extremely high political power". In order to keep the votes in the blue areas, politicians who are good at manipulating topics have begun to put pressure on the frontline military and require the powerful federal army to quickly (listen to their own suggestions) )Solve the problem.

Therefore, in August, the main federation group began to shift from a tiger standing to a dragon walking.

At the same time, in the underground base of Guantian Sheyu District, Wei Keng played Go with jujube cores and longan cores.

After Wei Keng Heizi fell, he completed the blockade of the "Tiger's Mouth". On the electronic information combat map behind him, the red regiment representing the Xinhuo Army was outflanking the three blue groups marked "Prism" on the east side of Taihu Lake. .

This prismatic symbol represents the heavy armored group.

This battle is very small in the overall battle, which is quite extraordinary.

Some of the enemy troops that the Xinhuo Legion encircled and annihilated in the previous two months were almost all infantry regiments, that is, good brothers of machine gunners, supplemented by a small number of "core armor" supervisory teams.

The Star Sea Federation's heavy armored corps are all stationed in important transportation hubs. These "bases" that appear at railway hubs are like a string of pearls. Once somewhere is attacked, the heavy armored groups on both sides will come to support, like iron ropes to ensure Security of the large cities on the eastern seaboard of the Federation.

Wei Keng: It has the smell of a Japanese watchtower. Of course, in twenty-first Century e-sports terms, this is urban defense. By constantly moving the chain composed of multiple bases, we squeeze our strategic space.

These Star Sea Federation first-class divisions all have Star Shield Guards as their backbone on land.

This three-hundred-ton heavy armor is the ace among the aces of the Star Sea Federation forces.

At that moment, the Federation gathered four such regiments and launched a "breaking battle" towards the Huaizhong Chaobo area controlled by Xinhuo.

Before setting off, the Star Sea Federation commander was very confident. Sitting in the ultra-clear holographic cockpit, he entered Southeast's press conference and talked about the argument that "I win ten times and the bandits lose ten times."

Yes, the military commander of the Star Sea Federation does not believe that five heavy armored divisions will be eaten in one go, because in the past battles, the Xinhuo Army has never been seen to kill five heavy armored divisions at once.

On the auspicious day of April 4th, Sun Dachang, the commander of the mechanized infantry regiment who was leading the siege, confirmed from the headquarters that he was encircling the 83rd Division of the Star Sea Federation, and that all other surrounding enemy troops were blocked from the encirclement. The table said to the battalion commander: "I am fighting the elite."

...The following is the specific situation of the encirclement and annihilation battle...

In the area between the lakes, blue giant mecha half-moon formations were placed to deal with the surrounding black battle groups. The mechanical thighs of these Star Shield mechas are as thick as tank turrets. In the center of the half-moon formation of such heavy mechas are light armored units such as Prismatic Chariots and Poseidon Soldiers Light Sports Cars.

The federal army was in a textbook combat formation, and five times the number of black troops in terms of firepower directly surrounded them.

At the forefront, open up the skirmisher line and charge in waves.

Without the three-by-three system, the infantry procedures required by the three-by-three system are too complicated. Among them, how to optimize the charge and squad firepower cannot be solved in terms of "human thought" costs. ——So instead of sacrificing efficiency in this aspect, it is better to directly cover with artillery. Yes, if necessary, we can directly cover the regiments that still have omnics. In fact, omnics are not afraid of damage from bombardment, as long as the core chip is put into the explosion-resistant inner box before being destroyed by bombardment.

The Blade Assault mecha infantry wielded a blue particle blade, and the blade slashed at the federal mecha. Due to the special configuration of the blade, magnetic pulse fluctuations were generated, which spread into the circuits of the federal mechanical units, causing the first wave of charges to come into contact. Afterwards, many federal mechanical units came to a sudden stop.

Then rows of self-destructing sand foxes rushed forward. These "T"-shaped robots, one person tall, moved at a speed of 100m/s.

These bicycle-sized Sand Fox robots are lightweight combat robots. The five-millimeter thermal particle flow welding gun is more suitable for dismantling buildings. It is insufficient for armoring, but now these combat robots have a streamlined bulge on the back.

This bulging position is an energy pack, and this energy pack has reached five or six times the normal design, just like a fat beer belly. However, technicians who are familiar with the development trend of today's intelligent machines know that this is a loaded self-destruct module.

The Sand Fox robot got close to these large armors, and with a roar, flames rose up. The armors of the blue Star Shield guards were like broken eggs, and they began to tilt to the side. The ball mecha body rolled around on the battlefield after breaking away from the cylindrical mechanical thigh support.

By the way, this kind of shouting on board and carrying explosives to bomb tanks was very cruel in the early mechanized warfare of mankind.

But right now this is the artificial intelligence being programmed with this tactical order. It is no longer tragic, but fierce.

After the ambush battle started, this side advanced step by step in less than twenty minutes and captured six lines of defense of the Star Sea Federation. The commander of this elite brigade quickly communicated to the rear and requested tactical support.

In fact, on the battlefield of the Burmese River, the commander of the Star Sea Federation also encountered a similar situation.

The remote-controlled tires of the Condor Empire are said to be controlled by artificial intelligence, but the entire empire lags behind the Star Sea Federation in all aspects of electronic chip technology. These self-exploding tires are more often directly controlled by imperial infantry.

These self-exploding tires carry metal hydrogen fuel on both sides. They look like fuel cartridges the size of water tanks hanging on both sides of heavy truck tires.

In the Burmese River, the Star Sea Federation uses holographic projection (that is, using a nano cloud to create a phantom combat unit) to deceive self-exploding tires, or force field barriers, so that it can effectively deal with such self-destructing soldiers.

But this move was useless against Guantian Society. The Xinhuo Legion's tactical response was an "order of magnitude" faster than that of the Empire.

During the battle, the Federation's "force field isolation" tactical support could never keep up with the pace of the battle. Usually, the force field is isolated only after the explosion is completed. The reaction speed in this battle is particularly slow.

As for the holographic copy, the "electromagnetic signals" were quietly identified by the military workers of Guantianshe. On the battlefield, the Xinhuo Army could see these false projections.

At this time, thirty or forty kilometers away from the flaming encirclement, the information commander of the Xinhuo Legion leaned in the holographic cabin of the aircraft. The chip on his head was connected to the electrode, and he remotely controlled the lightweight Air Force "Wind Scout" (a deformable air-ground dual-purpose vehicle). Lightly-armed robots) continue to attack and interfere with federal battlefield message nodes.

At the same time, "Eagle Eye" drones (aerial units like Fireflies) were deployed to launch an isolation field, constantly intercepting and cutting off the Star Sea Federation's communication lines.

…The perspective shifts to the Star Sea Federation military side…

The reserve forces of the Star Sea Federation did not know that the encryption node was leaked in the previous battle. Still simply executing the reinforcement order.

Air reinforcements: Behind the battle line, the federal Osprey fighter jets rushed in from the air for support. Halfway through, they were locked by a red light, and then a missile went straight into the sky, destroying the air fighters.

Jump reinforcement: The Xinhuo Group set up a wrong base station to guide the federal jump troops to jump directly to the mine array deployed by the Xinhuo Army.

As soon as the federal soldiers jumped with the "Prism" projection and appeared in the battlefield environment, there was the clicking sound of the induction mine under their feet, and then the soldiers who had just jumped out screamed in the surge of plasma. , and painfully returned to the time and space backup.
