1708 The Situation Changes
No one cares that when a tank loses power, everyone is dead except for a machine gunner named Ryan.
No one cares about this matter. It will eventually be gathered together with other deaths and losses and become "1" in a certain series of numbers. This is war.
There are no heroes, and there never have been heroes!
Heroes will not die so easily, but as long as they go to the battlefield, who can guarantee that they will survive until the end.
Ryan was lying on the bed looking at the camp. He was thinking of everything he had experienced while working as a tank machine gunner.
To be honest, it's more interesting than being a simple infantryman, in all aspects.
The pay was even higher, and the company actually provided them with cigarettes and chewing gum. You know, although the infantry company had cigarettes, there was only one pack per week, and there were application requirements.
In the tank camp, they can apply for three packs of cigarettes per week, and there are no requirements for application.
Infantrymen often need to rely on their legs to run on the battlefield and often encounter damage from stray bullets.
Tank soldiers will not. Not only are they relatively energy-saving, but their thick iron shells also make them much safer.
But, everything ends today.
He sighed, endured the severe pain, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one.
Someone next to him asked him for a cigarette, and he was not stingy.
Everyone in their tank applied for cigarettes. In fact, some soldiers would send the applied cigarettes back, or save up and repay the money with others.
The loader on Ryan's car was a non-smoker, but he would pass the cigarettes on to the others so that no one was short of cigarettes.
"Which army are you from?"
The patient who was smoking happily asked casually, and Ryan reported a number. The man was a little surprised, "Tank Camp, a great place, how did you get injured?"
Ryan sighed again and briefly explained what happened. The man before also fell silent.
A tank with only one person dead is almost the same as an entire family being wiped out.
After a while the man asked, "Will you go back after your injury?"
People like Ryan can actually apply for retirement.
The psychology of the federal people is very fragile. For things like what happened to him, he can talk to a psychiatrist and then return to the country.
After seeing a comrade die beside him, his mentality changes and he is no longer suitable to continue fighting. Although this situation is rare, it is not uncommon.
And Ryan has served long enough that he can enjoy some privileges.
People like him can easily find a job after returning home. Now there is a shortage of people everywhere in the country, and there is a shortage of men who can do heavy manual labor.
At the same time, he and his immediate family members do not need to pay high tax rates and can live quite comfortably.
Ryan shook his head, "I plan to apply for transfer to the Air Force. I want to change the environment and continue fighting."
He was smoking a cigarette with a determined look in his eyes, "If we can't drive the Pengeo people back to their hometown, I probably won't return to the Federation."
"Maybe I will die on the road, but I believe that everything I do is meaningful in promoting the direction of the war!"
This may be the "romantic plot of heroism" unique to the Federals. They believe that what they do is valuable to society and the country, no matter how small they themselves are.
This cannot be said to be wrong, but it cannot be said to be completely right either.
His clinical patient smiled and said, "The Air Force is not easy to apply for. I heard they have very strict review..."
The Air Force is different from the Army. Because of the special characteristics of the Air Force, once certain accidents occur, the damage caused by a pilot is far greater than that caused by an Army soldier.
There is no such thing as a federal political background check, but they do check the backgrounds of Air Force pilots.
I don’t know if Ryan can get through it, but he must be fine.
He smiled and stopped talking.
The front line broke through very quickly, and the mechanic kept moving forward, like a sharp knife in the hand of a butcher. Even the old cowhide could not stop its sharp blade, and it penetrated directly into the body of the animal to be slaughtered without any hindrance. .
Pengeo's military tried their best to intercept, but in the end they were unable to suppress the Federal Northern Front within their original defense zone according to their plan.
Two holes were torn open in the defense line. Although the hole on the south side was small, it was like a nail. No one dared to leave easily.
The north side didn't look strong, but the gap was so big that it didn't matter whether it was strong or not now.
What made the Pengeos even more troublesome was that the Federation's First Fleet attacked their Nagaril First Fleet.
At dawn, the sound of being hit by artillery shells opened their sleeping hearts, and the frightened people quickly opened their eyes.
Looking at the water column rising outside the window, the ship's wheels began to spin.
Artillery shells, incomprehensible and charming, bombard the hearts of soldiers.
The traces of panic in Jean's eyes dissipated with the explosion...
The piercing siren alarmed the sleeping military port. When the Penteo people reacted, the situation had already begun to tilt!
A series of bad news from the Gevra battlefield quickly converged on the Pengeo Empire itself. In the end, the emperor and the palace ministers did not discuss any meaningful results.
To put it simply, the privileged class believes that it is still too early to really need to retreat, and they can regroup their forces to push the Federals back.
However, the military believes that it is foolish to continue to use a small force to fight against the main force of the Federation. They must retreat to a certain distance to form at least a numerical advantage, or occupy a superior terrain, in order to prevent the Federation from continuing. sudden steps.
The Pengeos, who are good at fighting quickly, finally tasted the bitter pill of this tactic. The Federals suddenly learned a lesson from them, leaving them with no good solution!
In this era, under the cover of superior air superiority, the armored clusters have nothing to stop them!
The Pengeo people even once laid large areas of mines, but after the carpet bombing by federal bombers, the so-called minefields became like a joke!
Continuously retreating, not to mention the superiority of troops, not even the basic ability to fight for air supremacy, how can they resist the peak of the federal army?
In the end, the emperor chose to trust the generals of the empire. The commander-in-chief of the Nagalir Front ordered the northern troops in the central region to withdraw to the eastern defense line, while the southern troops continued to defend as a team.
The military is trying to plan a counterattack. If the counterattack can be launched and successful, then they can retake part of the area and continue to open the front and fight the tug-of-war with the federals.
If the counterattack fails and cannot be won, then they will ask the southern troops to give up their hold and retreat directly.
This not only ensures control of the entire battlefield when the counterattack is successful, but also ensures that they still have a certain amount of initiative.
The problems faced by the Army are easy to solve, but the challenges faced by the Navy are not so easy to solve.
The Federation Fleet, with the help of ground-based air forces, solved the problem of air supremacy in the warring waters, which gave the Federation Fleet a great advantage.
The bombardment of battleships was still very intimidating in this era, and the First Fleet in the Pentio Nagalil Theater was severely damaged.
They immediately fled to the open sea, trying to extend the front line so that the federal land-based air force could not assist the navy, thereby forming a counterattack force.
However, the federal navy did not pursue it rashly. Instead, it continued to stay in the coastal areas, cruising where the ground-based air force could take care of it, looking for fighter planes to launch attacks in the eastern seas.
With the sudden series of battles by the federal military, the situation in Nagaril suddenly turned upside down. The federal military got rid of the passive situation of being beaten and began to take the initiative to attack!
As news of areas being recovered and victories continued to come, the federal industrial index continued to rise, returning to pre-war levels, and there was still a lot of room for growth.
Almost all military industry stocks, heavy industry stocks and technology stocks are rising, and among them, Blackstone Aviation’s rise is the most astonishing!
The Flight Research Institute is a private laboratory and an unlisted enterprise, but its research results will be authorized or entrusted to Blackstone Aviation for operation.
This is also the most basic means of capital. It never directly faces the market. This can well avoid various risks, while ensuring its own profits and reasonably avoiding taxes.
At this moment, basically everyone wants to believe that the Federation can manage this war well and win it!
The rise in the federal financial market means that capitalists are starting to make money again.
The capitalists are making money, and the atmosphere in the Federation is very relaxed.
However, compared to the relaxed atmosphere that the Federation is enjoying, the situation in Gefra is obviously the opposite.
The Pengeo Military Group suffered a setback in the Nagaril Theater, but they instead deployed additional troops in the Amelia Theater.
Obviously their ideas are the same as those of the previous federal government. Everyone is adjusting the entire world war pattern through the Amelia War Zone!
When the Federation encountered greater pressure on the Nagaril battlefield, they provided low-interest loans to Gaevra, supported the army, and put pressure on the Pengeo military group in the Amelia theater.
This can draw their attention and draw back some of their troops.
After all, the troops there have increased, and if they don't keep up, they are likely to be counterattacked.
Now the principle is the same. The Federation has gained a great advantage in the Nagaril theater. This cannot be reversed in a short period of time by adding more troops to Nagaril.
When grand strategy has developed to a certain extent, unless the advantage in military strength is absolute, a small advantage will not mean much.
Instead, it is better to invest this meaningless force into low-end battlefields. Once a pressure layer is formed on the low-end battlefields, the federation will regulate the strategy.
The Pengeo people obviously wanted to put pressure on the federal people by doing this, but the first ones to be overwhelmed were the Gefra people!
Planes all over the sky were chasing and exchanging fire, and artillery shells on the ground were flying around in all directions, glowing and burning in the air. The entire defense line became precarious!
