Macho Wars

However, when he turned around, he was disappointed again, and all the guys he knew were transferred away.

"Strange! What kind of troop is it? Mysterious."

Suffering that he is only a middle and lower-level military officer, Andrew has no way of knowing some trends in high-level decision-making. There are a lot of rumors, but most of these news are false and real, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Andrew, who was not able to see his friend, returned in such disappointment. When passing by an officer’s club, he thought about whether he was leaving. He still had some time. Just find a place where the officers gather for a drink and see if you can find anything useful. The grapevine.

So with the status of a major, Andrew pushed the door into the club.Because Teddy Island is the third largest island in the southeast coast, the island’s infrastructure is relatively complete, and most of the more than 1,000 islanders who are stationed here are also serving the local garrison.

As soon as Andrew entered the club, he was immediately surrounded by the noisy atmosphere inside, surrounded by naval and army officers. Everyone smoked and drank and played cards. Even though the proportion of nobles may have exceeded half, their behavior and manners did not account for the slightest margin. .

Andrew didn't like the atmosphere very much, so he ordered a glass of wine, trying to find a quiet corner to stay.But when he turned around, he suddenly noticed that a few familiar figures appeared on a table in the corner of the bar.

"Frank!"

"Eat Lao Tzu and die... Hey! Andrew!"

Frank, who was building the Great Wall with someone, suddenly heard someone calling himself, and when he turned around, he found that Andrew was standing behind him with a dazed expression.Two old classmates meet again in such a way full of surprises.

Frank got up quickly and gave him a hug with surprise on his face.

"Haha! When did you come here?"

"Our division just arrived this morning. I was planning to go to the First Marine Division to look for you, but when the lights arrived, they said that you were transferred to another unit. What happened?"

With a suspicious look, Andrew looked at Frank up and down. He felt that he hadn't seen him for a few months. His old friend had gotten a lot of tans, and he became stronger and he also grew a beard. It is difficult to associate him with the little fresh meat with white flour, who was known as the "four noble son of the military academy".

In addition, Andrew also noticed that Frank was promoted quietly again, and he carried the lieutenant colonel's sign on his shoulders, and nothing else changed.

Facing Andrew’s inquiry, Frank and several other companions looked at each other. Everyone just smiled and said that the new unit they are in is very good, and it is still under the Marine Corps. It is a special operation with a little experimental nature. unit.

Seeing that several people were so concealed, Andrew thought to himself that it seemed to involve important military secrets, so he knew it well and didn't ask any further.

A few old classmates rarely see each other once, and Andrew generously asked Frank and them to have a few drinks, but at this moment, a Marine Corps lieutenant came in and winked at Frank and the others.The few people who were just ready to take a swig immediately put down their glasses without hesitation, got up and said sorry to Andrew.

"Sorry, old man, we may have to go first if we have something to do. Next time we have time to drink, we will invite you at that time."

"Hey! It's during the armistice, what military affairs need to be so urgent?"

Without giving any explanation, Frank and the others quickly packed their clothes and left the officers' club quickly.Looking at the backs of a few people leaving in a hurry, Andrew felt inexplicable, but a trace of loneliness rose in his heart.

He felt that he and these old classmates were going farther and farther!

Chapter 545

In the southern border area of ​​the empire's mainland, the imperial army, which has been fratricidal for several months since the outbreak of the civil war, finally seized the opportunity to fight again with their old enemy, the Kingdom of Wieland.

The two sides have successively invested seven or eight divisions on a border line nearly a hundred kilometers wide, and the combined strength of the two sides has exceeded 100,000.

Because the battle area is dominated by rugged mountainous terrain, heavy equipment such as tanks is difficult to deploy in this terrain, so most of the battles are light infantry clashes. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Firavi deliberately placed the two most elite mountain divisions. They are all adjusted, and one of them is the famous "Rattlesnake Master".

In the Battle of Doroshan, the Diamondback Division, under the leadership of Division Commander Snake, raided and defeated the 71st Infantry Division, successfully cutting off the retreat of the First Marine Division.If it weren't for Dragon's decisive move to "reversely break through", relying on a series of gods to make a bloody way, the Diamondback Division almost pushed the First Marine Division into desperation.

With his outstanding performance in this battle, the Rattlesnake Division was greatly appreciated by Firavi after the war, and Sneek was highly valued for it.And this time in the border warfare, Sneek took the initiative to ask for help and rushed to southern Xinjiang with his troops.

Soon after entering the battle, the Rattlesnake Division quickly showed off in front of the enemy and us on the battlefield.Going up a set of light infantry interspersed with roundabouts, directly packed and took away the entire forward command organization of the Royal Army.

Only one battle completely reversed the initial unfavorable situation, and directly drew the originally aggressive Kingdom Army with a bewildered look!

After the war, the overjoyed Filavi sent a telegram to commend Snake and his troops, saying that they were the real role models of the imperial soldiers.

In addition to the rattlesnake division on the ground, the air force under Philaway also shined in the battle.Although they did not dare to face the naval air force led by Dragon on the southeast coast, it was not a problem to fight a dozen of the Wieland Kingdom Army, which had no aircraft.

Facts have also proved that this short and swift flying team has indeed played a "combat power booster" effect on the battlefield. It can provide high-altitude reconnaissance, real-time monitoring of enemy ground forces' every move, and can also hang bombs. Perform ground strike missions.Many firepower points that would have required a lot of casualties to be broken can now be solved by summoning your own air unit and throwing a few bombs.

However, seeing the frequent victories on the southern front, Firawi was delighted, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried.As a revolutionary air force equipment, fighter jets have now been determined to completely replace the airship's dominance in the air.But regarding the practical application of this new weapon, most contemporary military strategists, including Firavi, are actually still exploring.

There is only one exception. He seems to know how to use this weapon from the beginning. This person is the opposite of Dragon.

In the recent air raid on Angelikon, Firavi and his Western Empire Army saw the power of the strategic air force. The group bombing of nearly a hundred large aircraft could be so fast and violent that the old defense and control system was unpardonable. Power.

But just the day before yesterday, several large planes suddenly came over the imperial capital, threw down a large number of flyers in full view, and then drove away.Firavi’s foreign affairs department protested to the east for this, saying that the other party’s move was a provocation and deliberately undermining the armistice agreement, but the east replied immediately that the flyer is not a bomb, and throwing this is not considered an attack.

The two sides talked about it, and in the end this matter was all over!

This series of stimuli caused Filavi’s side to fall into a top-down "airstrike anxiety", and some terrible rumors spread around the imperial capital, from the nobles of the imperial palace to the people of the Li people. Spontaneously dug up air-raid shelters, and the Staff Headquarters even worked out dozens of sets of imperial capital air-defense plans, many of which are thoughtful and strange.

However, they didn't know that at the same time, Dragoon did not intend to attack the imperial capital as the heart of the empire.

At the time when the overlord action had just been established, Dragon had indeed used paratroopers to directly airborne the imperial capital to execute the idea of ​​beheading, but after a specific analysis, he found that the feasibility of this idea was really poor.

First of all, the newly established experimental troops of the own paratrooper brigade, even if the backbone members are all elites drawn from the First Marine Division, but they use new tactics after all, and many things are still in the groping stage, even if there are some Gong, the open-ended traverser, guided the training throughout the whole process, and he couldn't guarantee perfection.

Secondly, the imperial capital is deep inland, far from the coastline, and the surrounding defense forces are not weak. Most of the troops who move into the imperial capital with Firavi are elite trump cards of the Southeast Military Region. Paratroopers directly confront them and may not be able to occupy them. To cheap.

These six thousand paratroopers are only light infantry in the final analysis, and the airborne cannot carry many heavy weapons and ammunition. Even if they can occupy the palace, it will be difficult to hold on to the land under the attack of Filawi's heavy troops. The arrival of the main force of the team.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Dragun gave up the idea of ​​directly airborne the imperial capital.

The paratrooper brigade is currently stationed on Teddy Island, and it is expected that there will be the final three weeks of preparation time before the start of the operation.Dragoon seemed to be stunned, performing wargames over and over again, for fear that there was a problem in which link.

The first few steps are fortunate to say that the landing battle is the old line of the Marines, and the sea and air dominance are in their hands, and the advantages are obvious.

The second step of "Death Cyclone" is to imitate the blitz battle from the earth, using heavy armored troops to carry out cluster assaults. Paratroopers who airborne behind enemy lines six hours before the landing operation, as long as they can control a few key traffic points, there is an air force. Dragun, who provided tactical support, was fully confident that he would take one hundred thousand people in three to four days and rush to the gate of the imperial capital.

But the next is the most difficult part. They need to gnaw down the hard bone of the Imperial Capital at the fastest speed while maintaining a supply line for hundreds of kilometers in the rear.

As for Firavi, it’s the best to catch him alive. If he is dead, it’s not that he can’t deal with each other while it’s hot. Even if he abandons the imperial capital and takes his own troops to break through, for him and his interest groups, the result is both it's the same.

Once Dragun regains the imperial capital, the Eastern Empire will once again have a nominal "orthodox position", allowing many wall-riding factions to stand on their side again.Everyone will consciously follow the boss with the biggest fist!

Chapter 546

On the 47th day of the armistice between the East and West Empires, Firawi’s troops finally achieved a decisive victory on the southern border. At the cost of nearly 8,000 people killed in battle, they successfully repelled the kingdom’s army and took advantage of this section of the border. Pushing 30 kilometers, the wasteland that took up thousands of square kilometers came back.

The middle and lower-level officers on the frontline cheered for this. Therefore, since ancient times, the soldiers of the empire have been able to open territory and expand territory as the highest honor. According to official practice, many officers who participated in this battle were eligible to be knighted.

But they didn't know that they were in the mood, but at this time, Firavi was frustrated because of their series of "feats" on the border.

To know this battle, Firavi seemed to have won, but in fact he suffered a lot.

The border conflict disrupted his original layout and rhythm, and allowed the Royal Army to successfully contain nearly 100,000 troops. Although they seized thousands of kilometers of land, most of them were deserted hills with no one inhabited by Liao. The soil was neither cultivated nor underground. Without minerals, it is even more meaningless in terms of strategy. There is no benefit in grabbing it, and it has also attracted a lot of international reputation.

When I thought that it was Wieland’s first provocation, but now the whole world is pretending to be victims, crying out in tears of accusing the Western Empire’s "aggression and brutality", Felaway felt a wave of disgusting, ah, too Shameless!

The conflict on the southern border has finally come to an end temporarily, and there are only less than two weeks left before the truce period agreed with the east. Firawi immediately used the name of "retreat for rest and recuperation" to bring multiple first-class frontline forces. The divisions were replaced and deployed on the southeast coast to guard against Dragoon’s Second Army Group.

During this period of time, Firavi would stay in front of the national map for a long time every day, patrolling back and forth on the coastline of the southern half of the empire. This stretch of coastline is thousands of kilometers long, and there are too many suitable for large-scale landings. Place too.
