Orc Tyrant

Three hours, just three hours later, the New California Republic spent a huge amount of money and invested huge manpower and resources to build the Gamel-Wali defense line.

The front-line report used the word "submerged" instead of attacking or occupying, because this is by no means a modified metaphor, but a reality that is happening now.

Only two hours after the war, at least five million Oks squeezed across the line of the Skassen River. They almost stepped on the floating corpses on the river, and the mass deaths of their companions did not deter them at all.

The Gamel Wali line was pushed to its limit in the first hour.

According to the requirements of the Ministry of National Defense of the New California Republic, there should have been eight armies with more than 900,000 soldiers. However, due to the slow recruitment of new recruits and the rotation, there were only six armies on the line of defense at this time, less than 700,000. soldier.

And they need to defend a frontal river bank that is at least 500 kilometers long. Even if more than 100,000 local militias are added, such forces are still stretched.

Therefore, conventional linear defense is absolutely unworkable.

In the original plan, the first-line troops would retreat to the second and third lines after blocking. During this period, they would continue to block Ok's offensive and use artillery fire and bunkers to offset Ok's impact.

Once Ok's offensive is contained, the armored forces in the fortress will attack, and coordinate with the frontline forces to launch a counterattack, pushing Ok to cross the river again.

Such a flexible defense plan is a tailor-made plan for Ouke after the top military officers of the New California Republic have synthesized the opinions of the military observers of the Benedict Empire and the Citizen Temple, because according to past battles, Ouke is often in the first few hours of the offensive. Is the most vicious.

It is almost impossible to withstand Oak's large-scale cluster charge head-on. Therefore, multi-batch and staged defense is the correct way to deal with it.

The plan of the New California Republic is also very correct in a sense, but they missed one point-

Any defense has limits.

At the beginning of the formulation of the plan, the number of enemy troops estimated by the New California Republic was between one and 1.2 million at most. This number was changed after the Battle of Tyre. The actual earliest plan estimated that Oak would only launch 50 To an offensive of 800,000.

All weapon configurations and personnel configurations are also allocated according to this order of magnitude.

The Citizens Temple originally proposed to increase the frontline force to 1.5 million, but since the New California Republic has entered a state of war for more than a year, many reserve forces have not yet been mobilized, so they also recognized this use of less force to defend against a large number of enemies. Resilient defense plan.

As a supplement, the Citizens Temple will also put in fifteen wing mobile infantry, including five wing aviation and armored troops, and a small number of mecha units for support.

If Oak does not launch an offensive within three months, the New California Republic will invest another 800,000 recruits to consolidate the defense.

Everything is in a race against time, but it is clear that Guk does not intend to give them time anymore.

His strategy is very simple. First fill up the front line of defense of mankind with a large number of boys, without giving their mobile forces any roundabout space, compressing them all to the last line of defense, and then the artillery and rockets concentrate on the fierce enemy regardless of the enemy. area.

Under such an offensive, a large number of human front-line troops were disabled within half an hour after the start of the war. When many divisions withdrew, only one regiment or a few companies remained.

At the same time as the infantry attacked, the motorcycles and the Skug cavalry quickly leaped through the barrier zone composed of barbed wire, trenches, minefields and concrete piles. After paying a huge price, they passed through the gap between the fortress and the fortress.

Their goal is very simple, which is to destroy the roads and railways behind the battle line, as well as communication facilities, and isolate each stronghold.

The armored trains of the New California Republic had to retreat one after another after the Okura Mobile Forces approached, abandoning the railway and transportation stations.

Mankind is not without mobile reserves. In fact, at the first moment of the war, Dunwich’s headquarters ordered two armies, fifteen divisions, and more than fifty militia regiments to be refurbished in the rear to quickly gather to the front.

But when the order was transmitted, the assembly point was already in chaos. Due to the Oker air strikes and some mysterious reasons, the assembly that was originally expected to be completed in an hour, two hours later, only one army was deployed to support, and this army was in On the way, he was harassed by the major motorcycle team of Oak, and stumbled along the way.

After discovering that the railway had been completely destroyed, the reinforcements were changed to road maneuvers. However, due to insufficient vehicles, only half of the troops were able to move quickly to the front line.

However, when the leading troops left behind and hurried to the important Wali fortress, they found that the fortress’s outer defensive facilities and all had fallen, leaving only a broken division standing on the inner wall.

Seeing that there is no hope for persistence, reinforcements can only cover the retreat of the remaining defenders, and then begin to return along the same path.

There were stumbling again along the way. First there was an air raid, and then a swarm of harassment by the Oklahoma. On the road of more than ten kilometers, it was filled with burning vehicle wreckage for a while, and the infantry panicked along the sides of the road and began to flee. .

In the dark, support evolved into retreat, and retreat turned into retreat.

When the leading support troops and the lagging allies met again, only half of the number was left at the time of departure, not counting the half of the division that had withdrawn.

Under this circumstance, the only reinforcement could only give up and go to the front line, turned around and returned to the place of departure, and brought bad news one after another.

The invincible line of defense was instantly smashed into a sieve, and many senior officers of the New California Republic were completely unacceptable, and many people even suspected that this was false information for the first time.

But when the reconnaissance equipment of the Citizen Temple returned front-line images, no one doubted it anymore.

The emergency was spread to the Presidential Palace immediately, and then there was a stern call, asking Ben Lier to withdraw the front-line troops anyway, and defend Dunwich and the province where he was stationed. Oak spread.

Ben Lier, who received the order, was also desperate for life, and now he did not have much mobile power on hand. These troops were not enough to defend Dunwich, not to mention the withdrawal of the front-line troops.

More than 700,000 troops were paralyzed on the line of defense, surrounded by Ouke, this disaster is enough to make people collapse just thinking about it.

But this is not what is more deadly.

According to intelligence, Oak’s main army did not participate in the attack at the first time. Instead, they walked along the road paved with corpses by the cannon fodder on the front line and crossed the Skasen River with ease. broken.

Instead of clearing out the strongholds on the line of defense, they began to gather in one direction. Five legions, millions of elite Ouk fighters, will gather under the banner of a war.

On the dynamic map, five huge arrows have crossed the Gamel-Wali defense line and pointed towards Dunwich.

Guke no longer intends to give his enemies any more opportunities.
