1565 Make up for Shortcomings

Any less crude tactics and tactics are valuable to the current federal military!

There has never been any decent war in the history of the Federation!

Even battles didn't happen that often!

If bringing warmth to the local indigenous people can be considered a war, then this war is a game.

Lacking the baptism of war, the Federation is actually a theoretical school from top to bottom!

No!

They are not even the theoretical faction. At least the theoretical faction can come up with a set of things that make people think it is very powerful. However, on the federal military side, they cannot even come up with any tactics that can be called "tactics". !

So when Lynch proposed the heavy machinery swarm tactic with tanks as the core, it immediately attracted great attention from the Ministry of National Defense and the military!

Mr. Trueman is also very concerned about this. He comes from the military, and he also knows that there is still some gap before the Federation can catch up with Pengeo.

This is not to compliment the enemy, it is just to state a fact!

Many people in the Federation are blindly optimistic, thinking that the Federation will easily destroy the army system that the Penteo people are proud of, and then trample and crush them under their feet!

There are even some people among the people clamoring to capture Emperor Pengeo and send him back to the Federation.

They were going to build a cage like a palace in the largest zoo in Bupen, and then put the emperor of Pengeo in it.

When someone expresses dissatisfaction with the Confederacy, let their leaders come visit the zoo!

This idea is very vulgar, but there are many people in society who support it. Some people think that we can set up a separate "Emperor's Zoo" to arrest the leaders of all countries that do not deal with the federation and imprison them in this zoo.

Federalists are very good at blind optimism, which is related to the free and undisciplined spirit of the Federation.

But for the country's political system and the national policies currently being implemented by the federation, this blind optimism of the whole people and the whole society is not a bad thing.

Because people are optimistic, they will not be too disgusted with the issue of conscription, and will not oppose the federal initiative to launch wars!

If people become less optimistic and start to fear, it will be difficult for Mr. President to stick to his own ideas due to social pressure, and it will be difficult to ensure that the federal ship can always sail on the right course!

Blind optimism makes sense at this stage!

But from a practical point of view, the Federation's current overall combat effectiveness is not stronger than Pengeo!

Perhaps the Federation does have a certain lead in terms of military technology, but it may not necessarily be the same leader in terms of strength.

This is like a hunter holding a gun and a hunter holding a bow and arrow. Whether it is the number of prey harvested or the final result of fighting each other, the one holding the gun may not necessarily win!

On the contrary, it may be because the hunter holding the gun is a novice, and the hunter holding the bow and arrow is an old hunter, so the old hunter may be better than the new hunter holding the gun!

The current federation is this new hunter!

Compared to Pengeo's countless wars over the past millennium, the Federation really has nothing to say, and it has not experienced any specific and educational wars.

The textbooks in the Army Academy often contain battle examples from other countries or some internationally recognized classics.

Talking about the pain that has happened to others, you will never realize how painful it is!

Therefore, the tactics with federal characteristics proposed by Lynch now are very important and valuable.

The military even feels that as long as the results are not too bad, they can derive more powerful tactical structures around this heavy machinery cluster!

The order came from Bupen and arrived at the front line in the afternoon.

The mechanics began to maintain and oil the tanks that were covered with canvas and used for replacement.

Ryan, who came back from the front line to rest, couldn't help but come to join in the fun.

He has been on the front line for three months, and now the battle on the front line is not as tight as it was at the beginning.

The recruits have passed the initial nervous period and are beginning to be able to perform those trained military movements, which has greatly alleviated the anxiety of the current frontline recruits.

This also allowed the proportion of casualties to quickly drop to a level acceptable to everyone.

As a "veteran" who has been on the front line, he also got the opportunity to take turns in the rear.

Ryan is also a celebrity in the military camp. He almost died in the first battle. After being rescued, he was injured many times, but he also made many meritorious deeds.

People like him are popular in the army.

First of all, he has experienced so many dangers and still survived, which makes people think that he is a symbol of good luck.

Those who have finished their rotation, as long as they know him, will come over to hug him before leaving, or hold hands and say a few words. It is said that doing so can increase the probability of survival on the battlefield.

Secondly, the military needs to establish a low-level, heroic and positive image of soldiers.

Ryan fit the bill perfectly, having come from civilian life, through the military, to Blackstone, and now to the front lines, where he had answered the call.

If the military promotes him, he is a star!

Seeing that so many tanks had started to be overhauled and refueled, Ryan just kept smashing them, which was a bit regretful.

The Ministry of National Defense said that a well-known federal A-list actress will come to the front line to work for the army next week. There will also be a cultural evening party. Many soldiers have been waiting for such a day!

I heard that in addition to these, there are also a large number of free cigarettes and fine wine sponsored by capitalists!

If you leave now, you will obviously miss this opportunity to join the army.

Ryan found a mechanic with a cigarette, stretched out his hand and handed one over, "I remember, didn't the tank just go out for maintenance?"

The mechanic slowly straightened up, glanced at his oily hands, raised his arms, and motioned for Ryan to put the cigarette on the inside of his elbow.

Clamp it, lower your head, hold it in your mouth, and then light it with a blowtorch.

After taking a deep breath, he nodded lazily and said, "The maintenance must be completed before nine o'clock tomorrow morning..."

Ryan sighed, a little disappointed.

It's not that he is afraid of going to the front line. For a "veteran of hundreds of battles" like him, life and death no longer matter and he has become indifferent.

After experiencing near death several times, death is just that for them.

They don't feel lucky to never die, but they don't fear death either.

What he was only worried about were those female celebrities, those free cigarettes and alcohol.

The mechanic glanced sideways at Ryan and laughed twice, "Don't worry, it won't be your turn to go up."

Ryan's eyes lit up, "Any inside information?"

The mechanic nodded proudly. He looked around and lowered his voice, "It is said that this time there will only be tanks and no infantry to coordinate the operation..."

After saying this, Ryan became somewhat interested, "Then who will provide protection for the tank?"

The mechanic took the wrench in his hand and knocked on the outer armor of the tank. The thick armor made a not dull metal knocking sound. He took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "Do you want you to protect this thing?"

Ryan spent the whole night thinking about the purpose of these tanks. At around seven o'clock the next morning, the last overhaul was completed.

These tanks will then be arranged to be put on the railway and transported to the front line.

Every time the Federation advances a certain distance, five to ten kilometers, it will arrange for the Marillo people in the concentration camp to extend the railway.

It can be said that wherever the federal military camps are stationed, the railways can be built and supplies can reach directly!

This set of strategic ideas has saved the Federation a lot of time, and at the same time, it has also provided stable logistical support capabilities for the Federation's inherently weak tactical system!

So these tanks did not go to the front line by themselves, but took trains to the front line.

Looking at these tanks and thinking about their appearance on the battlefield, Ryan couldn't help but took the initiative to find his superior officer and proposed to follow these tanks to the front line.

This spontaneous suggestion surprised the officers. These days, there are not many people who take the initiative to go to the front line, but not many.

It is true that manpower is needed to escort these tanks to the front line. Ryan is a veteran, and the officer only hesitated a little before agreeing.

Later, amid the dissatisfaction and curiosity of Ryan's men, they rushed to the front line by train with the tank.

They reached the front line before dinner.

The trains used in the war were better-carrying, wider, and of course slower than those used at home.

There is nothing you can do about it. If you go too fast, if the enemy destroys the rails, you won't even have time to brake.

On the contrary, these heavy and bulky trains seem to be very slow, but if they encounter unexpected situations, they have a higher probability of being saved.

After arriving at the front line, after a simple meal, Ryan quickly took his soldiers to sleep.

Tomorrow, they will find out what these tanks are used for.

It was a quiet, peaceful, and safe night for people like Ryan.

But for the Marillo people stationed in the city ten kilometers away, it was a difficult night!

The Federals inexplicably like to conduct sneak attacks at night. They are not the kind of sneak attacks that directly pounce on them, but use aircraft bombing, strafing, etc.

There are no rules.

Sometimes there would be constant harassment for several hours, sometimes there would be some intervals in between, and sometimes there would be days without seeing anyone.

Now the Marillos are a little nervous from top to bottom.

The most important thing is that this is the last buffer city between the federal government and the capital of Marillo!

Once you cross here, you can reach the core city of Marillo.

In order to avoid the complete disappearance of the President and the central government of Marillo, the Marillo Defense Force gathered its main military forces around this small city.

And after this period of construction work, the city has been built into a bunker from the inside out!

It is said that nearly 600,000 soldiers gathered here. The Ministry of National Defense analyzed that this statement may be false.

But there are still two to three hundred thousand.

The military has been considering avoiding head-on confrontation before, but now, they have a different choice!
