Traveling through the infinite wasteland

"All right."

Ye Qi stood beside the huge military map of the Tyrad Desert and nodded, "The situation of our army is as you two know. In the Tyrad region, with Tris City as the center, we conduct radioactive defense outwards to the seaside. At the same time, the infantry brigade is stationed at the natural barrier at the rear boundary, the Murray Mountains. In terms of the total strength of the Tyrad Desert, sir, how many troops did you bring this time?"

"One battalion of mechas and two battalions of mammoths. This is the maximum number of troops that the northern region can mobilize. If there are more, the northern region will not be able to cope with the empire's sudden attack." Admiral Jax brought the reinforcements he brought The situation was also told to Ye.

Ye lowered his head and made an estimate, then continued with a smile: "In terms of the total strength in the Tyrad Desert, we already have two more mecha groups than the Empire, and we have an absolute advantage in the tank force."

"Ye." Jax interrupted Ye, "Actually, our mecha numbers are not dominant. After the mutiny of the Eighth Fleet led to the lifting of our army's blockade of the imperial fortress, the imperial transport troops left Baku. .The Lutz Fortress set sail and headed for New London. The intelligence department showed that the empire would airdrop at least three groups of mechas to their army."

Ye was stunned after hearing Jax's words, and couldn't help shouting: "What? Only half a year after that super-large-scale airdrop, our Federation airdropped a large group of mechas to the New London Star Army as reinforcements. The Empire How can there be reinforcements from three brigades? This is too much. Our intelligence shows that our production capacity is at least twice that of the empire? Are the guys in the intelligence department making false information again? "

Jax shook his hand, signaling Ye to calm down, and said: "I was shocked when I saw this intelligence, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that the people in the intelligence department were not wrong either. Our chief executive The production capacity is more than twice that of the empire, but we have dispersed these productions to fighter aircraft manufacturing and tank manufacturing, which the empire is rarely involved in. In these two areas, our troops have an overwhelming advantage, so the empire's aircraft manufacturing capacity is more than twice that of the empire. It’s not surprising that A’s production capacity is three-quarters of our federation’s.”

Jax's words cleared up Ye's suspicion, indeed. The empire's fleet of fighter planes and tanks can be described as sparse in number. The Empire's Prussian fighter planes, these fighters that specialize in fighting in the atmosphere, are not inferior to the modified Hellfire with the beam cannon removed in terms of performance. But their small number cannot even guarantee the safety of their own air force's transportation lines. In most cases, Prussian fighters can only rely on ground fire support to compete with the federal air force. Once the ground cannot give them enough support, they can only hide in the hangar to avoid contact with the federal air force. fighting. Fighters cannot carry heavy weapons, and bombers that can cause huge damage to ground facilities cannot avoid long-range missile strikes from ground air defense forces due to engine problems. These shortcomings caused the empire to almost give up the research and production of fighter aircraft, which made them among the empire's frontline troops. The air force is gradually shrinking, and the empire is increasingly unable to control its own sky. The same situation also happened to tanks. The only tanks the Empire invested in New London were the Longbow tanks. This kind of tank equipped with only one cannon has a certain ability to kill mechas. This is why the empire retains a certain amount of production of this type of tank. However, the shortcomings of the tank's small ammunition capacity and inability to continuously attack the enemy also caused the empire to abandon its research work and instead invest all its funds and strength in the development of new mechas and the modification of existing mechas. The high-level attitude of the empire's overemphasis on mechas has led to an imbalance in the proportion of various types of imperial troops. The space forces are all mechas, and the ground forces are almost all mechas. This kind of simplistic equipment will definitely cause the imperial troops to suffer heavy losses in the future.

The Federation has done much better than the Empire in diversifying its military services, among them. The role of those old die-hards in the military department can be said to be indispensable. On land, the attack force consists of mechas as the main force and tanks as the supplement. An occupation force composed of infantry tanks, an aerial reconnaissance force composed of fighter planes, and a high-speed assault force composed of fighter planes in the universe. Even the bomber force, which most people had abandoned, was revived in the Federation. A new bomber using the Aria Group's new ion jet engine, the Albatross bomber was born. The bomber, a fighter unit that can severely hit opponents' ground targets, was once again included in the federal military and became a force that allowed the empire's ground forces to Complaints of fighting power. It's a pity that the new engine cannot be used in missiles, otherwise it would have been the most powerful missile force in the Federation. It can also be roughly equal to the bomber unit, and it can once again show its prowess on the battlefield.

Ye lowered his head again and began to think. Started to walk back and forth in the office, with superior strength. The development of strategies and tactics seems relatively easy. Using superior forces to cope with changes in the situation, and advancing layer by layer can force the imperial troops to a dead end. But now it seems that the Federation's mecha military strength is very likely to be at a disadvantage. Although the gap may not be as many as nearly half of the mecha fleet that Garancha faced at the beginning, the outstanding performance in the defense battle of Tris The federal tank troops are no longer able to provide much help to the federal counterattack plan. They suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, and the remaining troops are not even enough to maintain the ratio of one commando to one squadron when the mecha troops patrol. They may no longer be expected to play a role in completely turning the tide of the war.

Jax found another piece of information while Ye was turning around, "Yeah, by the way. Ye, this time our army not only added ghost assault transport aircraft, but also added a unit that you can't think of."

"What? Is it a bomber?" Smart Ye immediately thought of a bomber. The engine that can support a transport aircraft can also theoretically support a bomber perfectly.

"Bingo, it's a pity that I don't have any candy, haha." Jax made a little joke to relax Ye's tense nerves. It is indeed a bit embarrassing to make a rough strategic decision all at once without preparation.

He was not in the mood to listen to Jax's jokes all night long, so he grabbed the computer from the admiral's hand and began to understand the various data of the Albatross bomber. Ye felt that these fighters would recreate the glory of bombers on the big stage of Tyradh.

"The bomb load is 56 tons? Damn, it's roughly the same as a jet bomber of the same level." Ye exclaimed, which means that this bomber can carry the most powerful ground bomb in the Federation, the father of bombs.

The Father of Bombs is the most explosive ground bomb installed by the Federation since the beginning of the 21st century. Inspired by a super cloud bomb called the Mother of Bombs. The bomb was shaped into a streamlined spindle, and a full ten tons of high explosives were placed in the position of the warhead. And around these explosives, they are filled with high-energy fuel that is easy to explode. For example, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, methane, butane, ethylene, etc. Before the bomb explodes, the bomb uses a certain amount of small explosions to spray the high-energy fuel into mist, and then detonates the ten tons of explosives in the middle of the warhead in 0.01 seconds, which is the moment when the fuel is still floating in the air. The shock wave formed by the explosion of a large amount of explosives is mixed with the high temperature and pressure generated after the fuel explosion, which can destroy enemy buildings and exposed living personnel in a wide range. The diameter of this range is estimated to be three kilometers. The lethality of this kind of bomb against heavy equipment such as mechas is not as expected. However, because it carries explosives of terrifying quality, it can also cause devastating blows to mechas within a three-hundred-meter area of ​​the explosion center, and it can also cause a certain degree of damage to mechas within a kilometer range.

Jax nodded slightly and said: "The data above has been tested at Alshel Air Force Base and is completely true."

"Then how many aerial bombs and fathers of bombs are there in the air force base near us?" Ye directly asked the question he was most concerned about. To deal with the empire without air supremacy, let the bombers do it. The Albatross bombers are not afraid of the heat-sensing anti-aircraft interceptor missiles that the empire relies on the most. They can drop terrifying bombs arrogantly outside the range of the empire's 88mm anti-aircraft rapid-fire cannon. As for the empire's air force, it is left to those Hellfires who have not had a rival for a long time. Come on. It is estimated that the Prussians will still be huddled in their hangars overnight, although those hangars cannot play any protective role in the eyes of the albatross.

Jax got his computer back. He pulled up a piece of data and then put the computer in front of Ye. The spacious screen listed the ammunition warehouse status of seven federal bases with airports near Tris.

"Hey, it seems that sir has been prepared for a long time." Ye flattered that the aerial bombs that were rarely stored in the air force warehouses were actually stored in the eight air force bases in the Tyrad region. More than 4,000 tons , the number of the Father of Bombs reached as many as ten. These data made Yele happy. It seemed that the federal army could return to the nostalgic way of fighting before. The kind that calls for fighters first when encountering obstacles, and then finds a way to solve them yourself is extremely safe. A very lazy way of fighting. However, another question came to mind during the night.

"Sir, when will those Albatross bombers be deployed to our army?" If those bombers are still on the production line. No matter how good the plan was that night, it was in vain, because all plans were completed around these new bombers.

"All the albatross are on the ocean near the Tyrad Desert, haha." Jax smiled, knowing that Ye's plan was the same as his original plan.

"Yes." Ye nodded thoughtfully, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then briefly explained his strategy to the two famous commanders on New London.

"First of all, regarding the choice of counterattack route, I think our troops should choose the city route along the left and right sides of the Tyrad Desert and close to the coast. In this case, the disadvantages of our troops' mechas can be made up by the navy's air force. They are there The attack speed is definitely faster than the attack from our base." Night connected the cities closest to the sea up and down the Tyrad Desert, forming two red lines to surround the largest city in the Tyrad Desert, Tyrad. , "The two armies attack as quickly as possible, and the empire's forces must be dispersed when the imperial forces have completed their assembly. This can prevent the imperial forces from concentrating on one arm."

Jialancha raised his hand and said with a smile: "What if it's too late? The imperial commander can organize troops to assemble behind the defense line. Our attacking troops are powerless."

Ye sneered, and the laughter made the two people listening to him tremble. "Haha, I just hope that the imperial troops will gather behind them. The farther back the better, preferably here." Ye pointed to the area near Tyrad. There are two oases in the area, and there are two large imperial fortresses near these two precious oases.

"The more violent our troops attack and the faster they advance, the greater the possibility that the empire will gather in these two places. Once the empire gathers here, haha, our father of bombs will come to their heads. ." At this moment, a devil's tail appeared behind Ye Ye.

Jax curled his lips slightly, picked up a laser pointer, pointed it at the middle of the Tyrad Desert, pointed out a weak point in the night plan and said: "If all our troops leave, the imperial troops will move towards the central area of ​​Tyrad." What should we do if we attack?”

"Simple, the empire's concentrated attacks are easy to defeat. Two or three concentrated bombings can force the empire to disperse their forces." Ye relied on the Albatross' powerful attack ability.

Jialancha couldn't sit still and said, "What if the empire penetrates our defense area through a skirmish line?"

Ye was stunned for a moment. If the skirmisher line advances, the role of bombers will be much smaller. The way to deal with this kind of attack is usually to use more troops to crush the opponent head-on, or to find a weak point in the line to break through, and cooperate with the front-line troops. Surround and eat those enemy troops, find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com But this can only be implemented when sufficient troops are guaranteed.

Once the Federation devotes its main force to the left and right wings to outflank and attack Tyrad, the number of troops in the central desert will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the imperial troops who have discovered the Federation's intentions will definitely launch an attack in order to contain the offensive of the Federation's left and right wings.

"Well." Ye said after finishing his thoughts, "We can set up an independent combat team, with the cooperation of the air force reconnaissance force, to continuously ambush the scattered imperial forces, causing multiple federal forces to attack the imperial forces. His own illusion, thus forcing the empire's troops to gather on a large scale. Haha, if a large-scale force is not formed, this independent combat team will eat up the empire's troops one by one. In this way, even if the empire hits Tris, there will not be many troops. and supplies to launch a siege."

Bang bang bang, Jax clapped his hands, and a happy smile appeared on his face. On the other hand, Jialancha's smile looked more like a sneer of a successful plot.

Jialancha walked up to Ye, slapped Ye's shoulder heavily with his right hand, and said with a sneer on his face: "Then you will be responsible for this independent combat commando team, Ye."

"What?" Ye said in disbelief. (To be continued)
