Chapter 43 Firepower is King
共同历829年11月19日，当晚8点30分。

101 Marine Corps gorillas from the 127st Company, plus a garrison trash fish, have arrived near Archie Heights.They were lying on the steep mountain peaks, separated by a ravine more than [-] meters wide, secretly observing the predetermined target on the opposite side.

Everything went so smoothly, to the surprise of Captain Winter and the officers of the 101st Company.In comparison, Yu Lian, who had guessed what would happen earlier, was probably the calmest one.

"Look, Captain, I'll say it doesn't matter. Now that we've got here, we're halfway to victory."

Captain Winter agreed, but looked at Yu Lian with a little more surprise: "You guessed it from the beginning?"

Along the way, he saw Yu Lian's performance in his eyes. Even he, a veteran who had experienced many battles, was a little nervous, but the "student soldier" of the other party was so relaxed and even a little heartless. With a relaxed expression as if he was going on an outing, he was about to eat a hot pot and sing a song.

"Yes, the chances of the enemy finding us are very small. I can almost be sure of it. Even if there are some accidents, it is within our scope."

Seeing that Captain Winter and 101's brothers and sisters were a little puzzled, Yu Lian thought it would be better to analyze it, lest they be regarded as crazy.

"The sand people gathered on the basis of the prestige of the elders of Hessen, and they are still "barbarians", and they cannot establish a reliable scout and surveillance network. A feud, if you accidentally stir up trouble, it will be quite a movement, and it will objectively cover up our actions."

In fact, it's not just the noise.There were even two clans with hundreds of people fighting, attracting more than [-] times the number of onlookers.It was really a hustle and bustle, almost comparable to last year's Celestial Galaxy Cup final.Forcing the elders to have to send someone to press them, it has not been dealt with until now.

In addition, not only these numb, ignorant, heartless onlookers who are studying medicine but will not wake up, but also those elite tankers of the sand people, objectively created convenience for everyone.

Yes, the tankers have read a little bit of books and have a sense of national mission and honor. Yesterday's fiasco will naturally be regarded as a great shame by them.The Sandman tankers know that this is largely the reason for their poor craftsmanship - this is also impossible. Most of these Sandman tankers just learned a few basic tutorials and drove for a few hours. The raw land was caught up in the battlefield, and it is understandable that the craftsmanship is not good.

However, it doesn't matter if the craftsmanship is poor, I'm afraid there is no sense of shame at least.Fortunately, these sand people elites are all good, and they simply carved out several open spaces in the huge camp to practice chariot driving overnight.As a result, the roar of tanks and the shouts of young sandmen were heard from time to time between the camps, which was a great scene of great training.

"This kind of movement, even if the Panther cars and tanks on Hirica's side are accidentally exposed, may be misunderstood as one's own. But all our mechas have optical camouflage and silencer devices to maximize the When it comes to concealment. There are many enemies, but they are not under each other. The chariots and gunners look down on the city-state lords, the city-state lords regard the nomadic khans as bandits day and night, and they lack coordination and cooperation. Tribes and tribes, city-state and city-state The military barriers between them are clear, and the vacant areas between them are subconsciously used as buffer points, and they will not send people to monitor them at all. Instead, it is easy for us to take advantage of them.”

"So, the marching route you took us just now happened to pass through the gap between the enemy's camps." Captain Winter nodded in admiration: "It's really a scalpel-like march!"

Uh, this is your original marching route.

"That's what you've been observing on the mountain for so many days, right?" the captain said again.

So what is it for?I've been on the mountain these days just to wait for you guys to come and watch the show.At most, he carefully looked for the location of Hesson's camp, so as to save the tragic fate of the senior sister who had been lying in the hospital for half a year.Yu Lian thought.

After so many days of careful investigation, he should have memorized the divisions of all the opponent's camps, patrol routes, and loopholes that can be exploited, and then analyzed the most perfect sneak route, right?The captain thought so.

Thinking of this, although Captain Winter didn't take a deep breath, he had to raise his evaluation of this person again.

This kid is so terrifying!Is it possible that all "moon people" are like this?
He immediately denied it in his heart.He has also served in the Outer Ring Fleet for quite a long time. He has seen many officers from all walks of life and famous families. He is too aware of the level of the "elite bureaucrats". They show off their power like a peacock every day. A marmot wrapped in a feather blanket and eating with a silver knife and fork.Although the so-called "moon people" are rare, they are not unheard of. In essence, they are more gorgeous than other marmots' blankets, and their knives and forks are more delicate.

"Warrant Officer, after graduating, have you ever thought about serving in the Outer Ring Fleet?" the captain said abruptly.

uh, what is this?win over?Yu Lian was a little confused.

"Oh, but I heard that you are from the Department of Strategic Studies. Even if you really arrive at the Outer Ring Fleet, you should go directly to the headquarters. Admiral Paris is a warm and honest officer, and he will definitely appreciate you."

Yu Lian wanted to laugh a little but was moved a bit, but he had not made up his mind on the future, so he could only say: "Xiaguan is very grateful for your trust and appreciation. However, I don't know how the future will go. Consider it well. Besides, as a soldier, after all, you have to obey the dispatch of the National Defense Committee first."

"Also, you don't necessarily have to serve in the military after graduating from military academy. You are so good, and you have a bright future everywhere. It's really a pity to join the army."

Even an excellent grass-roots officer like Captain Winter has this idea. The current atmosphere of the entire community and even the entire galactic civilization can be imagined.It is not difficult to understand that the future will be like that.

This topic ended here, everyone chatted a few more in a low voice, and began to wait for the start of the general attack time.

Yu Lian looked at the time and estimated that the battle on Yina's side should start, but he hadn't heard anything, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. .

Just when Yu Lian was wondering whether to call the other party, the communication device built into the helmet finally heard Ina's voice: "Sir, everything is going well."

"...Everything went well, does it mean that you lurked well or attacked well?"

"We have taken the enemy's position. We are building a fire position according to your prior arrangement!"

This is faster than I thought!
"...that guy is still cooperating, right?"

"Mr. Stein has been very helpful, very cooperative and very brave. He seems to be able to deploy something similar to the realm to cover our tracks. After arriving at the destination, he also launched the attack first, which made it so smooth. ."

Of course, the traveler is one of the few psykers who can provide buffs to the group in the early stage, and also has a pretty good stealth ability.This is exactly why I chose this path in my last life.

"In addition, there are indeed two quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft guns here, and Uncle Carl is doing his best to refit them."

"Okay, don't worry, according to the original plan, you can complete the preset fire position between 9 o'clock."

"The fire position is almost complete, and most of the people are already in place. Well, I can see you now, sir."

Hearing that, Yu Lian looked in the direction of Ina's position, and naturally he couldn't tell anything under the night.

"When blocking the enemy, be sure to keep an eye on everyone, and don't rashly charge. If you can use artillery fire to destroy the enemy, use artillery fire as much as possible. We have enough firepower now! In the final analysis, don't make waves! Do you understand?"

"...Understood." Ina agreed in a not too firm tone.Of course, with this girl's temperament, since she agreed, she would definitely agree.

Yu Lian turned off the communication, only to find that Captain Winter was looking at him with weird eyes.

"There is a statement in the General Staff of 'the theory that infantry is useless', warrant officer, do you agree with them?"

"Sir, that's just a group of mentally retarded people who think that robots and 'psionicists' can completely replace the Marines and stormtroopers. Sir, I'm not against hand-to-hand combat and charging, let alone the existence of motorized infantry, but our army tactics are indeed There is a problem, at least the choice of timing. If you can use firepower to destroy the enemy, why let everyone risk getting closer to the enemy? Firepower, more firepower, more and more violent firepower, more and more violent And more accurate firepower, this is the essence of war!"

Captain Winter was touched, but asked anyway. "How can you see it?"

"During the Ten Years' War, more than three times as many people died from orbital bombardment as from land warfare. In the realm of ground warfare, more than three times as many people died from long-range artillery and low-altitude bombardment as from firearms; finally, from firearms. The firearms have reached four times the melee damage of swords, axes and hammers!"

Yu Lian's words actually changed a little bit of the concept.He ignored the jump gang battle in space, and also ignored the close-range "master duel" such as the astral knight versus the guerrilla.You must know that even if a high-ranking psionicist dies, 1 will be added to the casualty number, but the blow to the entire battle situation and even morale is no less than the annihilation of a legion or the sinking of a dreadnought.

Even so, Yu Lian still believed that he was right.

If it was replaced by a master with profound theoretical knowledge, he would probably have a few back and forth with Yu Lian at this time, such as his classmates who were also famous in later generations.It's just that Captain Winter is only a low-level officer after all. He wanted to refute but didn't know what to say. He even thought that what Yu Lian said was reasonable. After thinking about it, he finally sighed: "This does not mean that the infantry is useless. ?"

"I didn't say that. Orbital repression, gang jumping and ship grabbing, stronghold occupation, and sweeping away the remnants of the enemy all require excellent motorized infantry. More importantly, the existence of motorized infantry doing the most dangerous jobs is the entire army. The source of courage is the last bottom line of the will of a country and a nation to fight. Sir, this is why I propose the theory of firepower. Stormtroopers, marines, your duty is to always be in the most dangerous battlefield, then we... In other words, my future duty is to try to create a relatively less dangerous battlefield for you."

Captain Winter, and the rest of the officers and soldiers around who had been fascinated by the sound, did not speak for a long time.The silence lasted for a few more minutes, until the captain's timer sounded in his helmet.It's time to attack.

He took a deep breath and checked the firearms in his hands, the Vulcan Cannon on his side and the chainsaw sword on his back, and couldn't help but ask again, "Warrant Officer, you really don't think about serving in the Outer Ring Fleet. ?"

"Uh……"

"Hehe, just kidding. Then, please come with us and prove the meaning of our existence together!"
