1968

The federal frontline headquarters was built in an underground concrete fortification. Although multiple exhaust fans had been installed, the smell was still very strong.

There is always a strange smell that lingers, but fortunately the ground is not wet.

As a junior general, Ryan is also qualified to participate in command and combat meetings, and his ranking is very low.

It's not that anyone bullied him, it's just that his military rank is too low.

Except for the staff officers, most of them started as major generals. The federal military attached great importance to this battle, and even Peleus came to the scene.

Ryan sat at the back, his eyes passing over the faces of these federal generals one by one, and there was a fire burning in his heart!

People from the Ministry of National Defense found him last night and talked to him about some things after the war.

In fact, it was a bit premature to talk about those things now, but he could understand it.

Just as he encouraged the new recruits not to be afraid of death and to fight bravely, as a low-level general, the upper echelons of the military also wanted to give him some temptations and sweeteners.

People in the Ministry of Defense said that after the war is over, he will be promoted to federal major general.

But now there is a problem. He was a Marine Stormtrooper, and was transferred to the Army because he participated in ground wars during Blackstone Security.

Later, from the end of the Battle of Nagaril to some time ago, he served in the Air Force and achieved good results.

The question now for the Ministry of National Defense is, if he is promoted to major general, where does he plan to develop?

The military seems to be a whole, but in fact it can be seen as three parts: you are me, and I am you.

For senior military officials, such as Peleus, he could be in the army, air force or navy. Anyway, most of the senior generals in this room were either his grandfather's subordinates or his grandfather's subordinates. .

Among the remaining ones, many were new-generation generals who joined the army with him and grew up. To him, and to more senior officers, it didn't matter which one they chose.

But this is very important to lower-level officers. The three armed forces of the sea, army and air force themselves have a competitive relationship.

Coupled with the "collective sense of honor" deliberately created by the military, the further down the line, the more clear the stance must be.

Once you reach the rank of general, it's not that important.

But no matter how important it is, it is necessary to show the people below how to choose.

After much deliberation, Ryan finally chose the Army.

He had seen the prototype of a new fighter jet being developed by Blackstone Aviation before when he returned to the Federation for vacation.

He also met with Mr. Lynch, who told him at that time that future fighter jets would have higher and higher physical requirements for pilots!

Those with wounds on their bodies or injuries to their internal organs are basically not qualified to drive.

Because at high speed, these old wounds will burst again when doing some movements.

Forget about ordinary minor wounds, Ryan remembered clearly that he had been stabbed in the internal organs with a knife.

If his internal organs suddenly burst while in the air, he would have no chance of landing!

He knew this was true, because when the plane he was flying now made big moves, some of his previous wounds would itch a little!

What's the point of joining the Air Force and working in an office if you can't soar in the air?

Maybe the general does not need to personally participate in military operations, but he believes that he still needs to possess the minimum military capabilities.

Then he signed up for the Army, which means that after the war is over, he will become an official Army Major General and have a bright future!

The meeting lasted for a long time, and Ryan is currently responsible for commanding the operations of the Army's 109th Army.

At the end, he returned to the camp by car, then passed on the order and set off tomorrow.

Ryan's job is to hold the zone.

In the grand strategy of the federal military and the Ministry of Defense, Pengeo will be more proactive.

In other words, they will take the initiative to attack, and they cannot afford to delay.

The longer it drags on, the more resistance organizations there will be in the Pengeo Empire, and the stronger these organizations will become.

Therefore, it is very important to resolve the federal armistice negotiations as soon as possible. After these problems are resolved, they will have the time and ability to use their hands to carry out large-scale purges of those resistance organizations.

They will definitely take the initiative to attack!

Therefore, the frontal troops need to be prepared for defense. When Pengeo's main force comes up, the east and west parts will cut in from the side of the battlefield to form a local superior force.

First swallow up part of the enemy's forces, and then the rest can be easily dealt with.

It sounds simple, but in actual operation, there will definitely be some changes.

When he returned to his own site the next day, Ryan began to arrange defense work. A large number of prefabricated frame structures were assembled to form various simple fortifications.

Everyone felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their chests...

A few mornings later, Ryan was still reading some reports in his hand, when suddenly the air raid sirens sounded as if the whole world was torn apart!

He immediately rushed out of the concrete fortification and looked at the distant sky with a telescope, as if a "black tide" was rolling up in the sky!

A large number of planes came quickly from a distance, and a battle broke out!

About ten minutes later, a large number of enemy tanks appeared on the battlefield, accompanied by infantry as densely packed as ants. The scene was both cruel and shocking!

The artillery on the artillery position fired continuously, the machine guns began to spit flames, and the tanks increased their horsepower and rushed out of the slope...

From the first second of the battle, both sides invested all their strength!

Planes keep falling into the battlefield in the sky!

A federal fighter jet returned in black smoke with many bullet holes on its fuselage. He was lucky.

Because he has separated from the frontal battlefield, more fighter pilots may not be as lucky as him and can return safely.

But he was unlucky because the plane was out of control. He tried his best to pull it up, but still couldn't pull it up.

The ejection seat saved him from death, but the crashed plane plunged into his own defenses.

The explosion caused by the crash of the plane, the shock wave and the flying debris were like the scythe of death. In an instant, more than a dozen people around the crash site fell to the ground forever.

The living people have no time to sigh, remember, or feel sad, because bullets are whizzing past their ears and the battle continues!

At this time, the Pengeo people on the frontal battlefield were like human beings parasitized by monsters. They knew no fear and rushed towards the federal defense line without fear of fatigue.

Some of those little black ant-like soldiers kept falling down, while those behind stepped on the corpses of those in front and kept moving forward.

When they reached effective fire range, the frontmost machine guns came into action.

The tongues of flame spouted by the machine guns caused the enemies to fall one by one like waves of wheat waved by a scythe, but soon the enemy's counterattack came.

The heavy tank's artillery can easily destroy some simple fortifications and the machine guns inside. At the same time, its thick body can provide soldiers with forward protection.

Peng Jieao's field artillery also began to roar...

On such a direct and frontal battlefield, the role of the individual has been suppressed to the limit!

Even if he is a federal hero and a star officer, he cannot change anything by relying on his own power!

Less than an hour after the full-scale fighting broke out, there were many casualties.

The death toll is actually not too many, but there are many injuries.

Although the Pengeo people are crazy, they are not crazy enough to directly use their physical bodies to attack the federal defense line.

They had been relying on tank artillery and field artillery to bombard Union positions.

The shelling from both sides is mutual and will take the lives of the enemy.

There are still only a few people who died directly from the explosion, and most suffered various injuries.

The injured soldiers were sent off the front line, and the camp behind the position was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.

There were screams everywhere, especially from soldiers who were in urgent need of amputation.

Limited by the medical level and technology of field hospitals, some injuries that do not require amputation actually become injuries that require amputation here.

Field hospitals do not have enough time and space to deal with all the soldiers in need of help one by one. They can only save as many lives as possible!

One by one, the soldiers were taken to the simple operating room on stretchers, and then quickly taken out. They were left on the roadside and no one cared about them.

Because there are more people who need their care.

Looking at the injuries of these soldiers, Ryan looked very pessimistic.

Every once in a while, an adjutant would report news to Ryan, and at first he could still sit still.

But as the pressure in front of him increased, it was difficult for him to sit still.

The general headquarters required him to hold on for more than three days. Only when the main force of the Penteo people was exhausted could the flanks be launched.

Now the enemy's desire to attack is too strong. Even if they are under double pressure from the ground and the air, they have not retreated!

Just like Emperor Pengeo said, he will use human life to fill it!

By six o'clock in the evening, the number of casualties had exceeded 3,000, and that was on the defensive side!

And what follows is a more dangerous night battle!

With the popularity of infrared night vision devices, most defense lines are now equipped with infrared night vision devices.

But this thing doesn't mean that you can find all enemies after using it.

First, the other party must be illuminated by infrared light, and then captured by special electronic instruments before it can be seen in the dark.

It would be fine if there were more enemies, but fighting at night would tend to lead to harassment.

Three to five soldiers, or even a single sniper, hiding in the darkness...

The beginning of the Great War attracted the attention of the whole world, including people on the island of Gefra.

They all know that if the Federation wins, the Pengeo people on the island will most likely withdraw their troops.

But if the Pengeos win, their future will be plunged into eternal darkness.

On such a day, the Minister of War received news that people who had been smuggled out had been arranged in advance to be brought back. This road was very safe!

He asked the housekeeper to find the person again, and was willing to spend more money and send more people away...
