Chapter 734 1710 Caught Off Guard, Bloody Battle

Chapter 734, Chapter 17.10, Caught off guard, bloody battle

On November 18, 3232 of the Fire Emblem Calendar, when the second wave of Anglo intervention arrived in the north of Iron Star, the Anglo parliamentary masters were still hammering their fists on the parliamentary table, discussing what kind of lesson to teach the mud legs.

Iron Star has successfully moved 200,000 offensive groups, 3,450 (10 to 40 tons) fuel-heavy vehicles, and 24 large land cruiser-level equipment to the western transmission point.

Enma was on the cement square of the industrial city, looking at all the steel vehicles, packing the supplies in place, and then climbed up the central electromagnetic tower. The top of this tower is very Eiffel Tower style, but the top is a metal ball cage. Enma felt whether the electric charge gathered in the atmosphere met the transmission standard on the top floor of the tower.

Five hours later, in the Kingdom of Oshima, in the Grand Canyon of Shilor, as Anjiexin's surprise troops passed through this dangerous road and entered the Windy Plain, there were lightning and thunder in the sky. Enma's large teleportation was completed, and its multiple groups of protective towers were instantly lost.

Such a main force suddenly appeared, which was beyond the expectations of observers from various countries in Wanlun Continent

Narrator: After the Lance Group was eliminated, the Skylanders, led by Willy, put pressure on the northern port occupied by Anglo, which gave Anglo analysts a "illusion that the main force of Iron Star was heading north"

However, Enma led the main force of Iron Star and led the war to the "Sky Federation".

The Iron Star uprising in the Skyland was developed from the agricultural area, which was very rustic, but the observers born in aristocrats have always looked at it with tinted glasses and ignored the changes, so it is no wonder that they could not grasp the situation.

…Enma: You fight yours, I fight mine. If we are going to fight, don’t expect your rhythm to be smooth. I am not a computer…

In the Sky Empire, the peasant army that used to rely on donkeys to pull carts and row boats on the lake, after the reform and urban industrialization, tracked tractor freight cars appeared in the countryside, and dura aluminum biplanes (the level of the primary training six) hovered in the sky.

Fifteen-ton rubber-wheeled trucks, now Mirsu City is the earliest industrial automobile city in Iron Star, and it is the first to adopt assembly line production, with an annual output of 230,000 vehicles.

These civilian industrial productivity are all used in the development of this war capacity.

The mechanical transportation capacity of Iron Star, which used to be like ants moving houses, is currently looked down upon by the major empires on the continent.

In short, the current situation in the Sky Empire is that Iron Star is just a wave of "peasants" (in StarCraft and Warcraft, compared with the "mining peasants" of regular soldiers)

Of course, Iron Star's "peasants" are also the best on the continent.

When the Iron Star "farmers" were opening up a base in the south of the Sky Empire, telegrams from all sides of the Sky Empire were exaggerating the Iron Star Farmers' current well-equipped equipment!

In some of the governor's offices of the empire's cities, Wei Keng (undercover) who was responsible for writing reports laughed out loud after reading the intelligence of the empire.

Enma: "We only arranged a total of 200 light aircraft for local surveying in the entire south. Among them, the three key production areas in the west route only invested more than 6,000 tractors to supplement the problem of insufficient animal transportation capacity. How come this report reports the same posture as "Banshee taking off" and "Apocalypse riding on the face", the rhetoric of literati is really amazing."

Of course, it was because the governors in the Sky Empire made a lot of nonsense reports. The Anglos did not realize the strategic trend of the Iron Star Army's main force moving eastward this time.

…Enma: “Our goal is to liberate the whole world”…

Even now, on the domestic front of the Kingdom of Oshima, these galloping Iron Star Land Cruiser Corps are galloping inside the Kingdom of Oshima, which forced the Kingdom of Oshima, which was originally preparing to cross the border to intervene, to focus on the country and could not cooperate with Anglo’s strong intervention in the Sky Empire.

For the newly born Iron Star, this is a super bold strategy. When Anglo’s intervention forces and the reactionary forces of the Sky Empire still have spare strength, the main force directly jumps westward. It has completed a perfect detour and directly bypassed the bloody battle barrier where the Sky Empire and the Thunder Flash Alliance have confronted each other for decades.

When 32 large units separated the industrial city area of ​​the Kingdom of Oshima from the semi-permanent standing armed area on the frontier, things really got serious.

War is related to the economy.

On the front line of Oshima, the soldiers were panicking. Although there were still six ‘Land Cruisers’ of the Lightning Alliance making careful deployments within the defense line, the generals of the kingdom within the defense line had huge hidden dangers in their hearts.

This hidden danger was created by themselves, and now they are trying to send military police to suppress the rumors. The rumor is that “military rations were resold”.

…Economic corruption during war is a common problem of various military governments on the continent. …

On November 25, in the capital of Oshima, the Hot Spring Palace, the nobles took their seats according to the democratic system.

At the highest seat, as the crystal projection communication appeared in various luxurious rooms, the guys dressed in gorgeous clothes, who claimed that their every move could determine the fate of millions of people, were frowning at the Iron Star Rebellion Army that suddenly appeared on the map.

The generals participated in the meeting through the magic crystal. The young king sat on the throne, but in fact, the power agency was composed of three powerful ministers who were responsible for all political affairs.

At the meeting, the highest power center of the Oshima Kingdom asked: "General Simon, how is the front-line defense?"

General Simon, who was in charge of the front-line defense of the original Lightning Alliance, said: "The defense is very good, but I need supplies."

The problem on the map now is that the train is separated from the frontline fortress. General Simon seems to have a good idea, but in fact he is worried about this problem.

...The Iron Star Force is a lonely force, but its supplies are quite sufficient. …

In the eastern part of the Osima Kingdom, Enma, who had followed with his troops, was watching his super teleportation.

In the center of the teleported light, the Iron Star infrastructure troops deployed defense tower facilities.

A simple steel furnace is forging steel bars, and the surrounding transport vehicles are camouflaged with cement bricks buried under the ground. Hemispherical armed bunkers with a height of 20 meters have been built here.

In addition to the main structure of reinforced concrete, these bunkers also have additional protection of five meters of thick sand. The internal corridors are deliberately curved to prevent blast fragments from flowing unimpeded

The two-meter-thick reinforced concrete cement cylinder head on the top is covered with a five- to six-meter-thick camouflage layer. This can only be taken down effectively by the siege cannon initiation attack.

Regarding the placement of the tower in front of Osima's house, Enma has always aimed at the Anglo-Saxon transfer.

Osima is an important ally of the Anglo. When the Anglo announced that they would intervene in the revolution, the Kingdom of Osima jumped to the top and asked the Anglos to open the port to provide supplies. It can be said that the most important purpose of the Anglo is to "break the military line"

Wei Keng made a note in the system: "Encircle Wei and save Zhao", and by entering the Kingdom of Osima, he interrupted the Anglos' interference in Iron Star.

...Since we were fighting behind enemy lines, everything had to be done at a high speed. Enma and the officers in Osima were hurriedly preparing...

Enma: "The heavy military group that is statically defending at the junction of the Sky Empire and Osimar, the Anglo Naval Group stationed in the northern part of the Kingdom of Osimar (this is also the mainstream of the intervention army), and the heavy military group in the central capital of Osimar. For For Iron Star, it is a huge hidden danger. It is impossible for the Iron Star Corps to win in this three-on-one battle. Over time, after the three parties reach an agreement, Iron Star will face a joint stranglehold. But now, through this interlude, geopolitics will emerge. Subtle changes have occurred. For the Osima people, whether the Anglo allies are reliable and whether the Imperial Army of the Sky Empire at the front will take the opportunity to take a bite are all "difficult to determine" risks. The existence of such risks makes The possibility of the three parties reaching an agreement to suppress Iron Star in the future has disappeared.”

In this operation, Enma also made insurance.

When necessary, enable large-scale teleportation for strategic support.

"Of course, before retreating, we must cause enough damage to our opponents, which is greater than the damage caused to us by their interference with us."

Just as Enma was explaining his strategic views, the intelligence department reported a piece of information.

Iron Star happened to capture a baggage team transporting supplies towards the border reinforced concrete defense line just outside the legion.

The Tie Xing Ideological Education Team identified a certain sign while chatting with the team captains and listening to these unlucky men complain about their treatment.

...In the continuous war, thunder broke out in the Sky Empire, and thunder also occurred in the Kingdom of Osima...

In the prisoner camp, Enma personally took a look at these Osimar Kingdom soldiers. They were smacking their faces. The sound of sucking and sucking is endless.

Enma carefully looked at the calluses on their hands and the wear and tear on various parts of their clothes, and read through what they told them that they were doing the physical work of "trench drainage" on the defensive front today.

A veteran who has served for more than ten years cannot pretend, and the appearance of hungry soldiers with plenty to eat is also real.

And if it is indeed what the intelligence department speculated, then this battle now has some favorable elements.

…For all the people at the bottom of Wanlun Continent, this is an era of oppression. …

On Wanlun Continent, when the "Iron Star" was being minted, the opposite side of the "bad omen gold coin" was also growing day by day. The large amounts of gold flowing out of the Sky Empire allowed merchants involved in cross-border trade to make a lot of money.

In the Thunder and Flash Alliance, an Anglo organization, in order to strengthen the integration of resources in various countries, it has damaged the normal internal operation of materials in each country.

The Rise of Iron Star passed and forcibly controlled prices, making key strategic materials such as food, minerals, and fuel unable to be purchased by the victors. Gold coins only allow the giants of the Lightning Alliance to strengthen their monopoly on domestic supplies.

Especially the Kingdom of Osima, although it is a military ally with the Anglos, how can it have so many allies economically (in modern times, this did not prevent the Bald Eagle from signing a joint military treaty with its European brothers while also economically Slaughter Europe).

The Kingdom of Osima had just finished fighting this war and seemed to be relieved militarily, but it was rapidly decaying internally. As food, cotton, and fuel prices soared.

In this "price frenzy", the Osima officers who controlled the military warehouse used their "business acumen"

China Times Wei Keng: The biggest villain of commercialism is that “in order to wipe out other people’s money from society, it will be obvious that the supply of materials will be suddenly reduced to 90%.

As for the remaining 10% who are short of food and clothing, what should we do? The upper-class mouthpieces controlled by business and private sectors will use their propaganda to make most people think that these 10% of the lower class are beggars, sick men, old people, and a worthless population, and it is better to disappear. "

...For the "Shovel Dancer", such a kingdom is worthy of setting fire to him. …

Enma stared at the strategic map, and his original strategic plan suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on Kaidi City in the north.

This is the most important storage city on the entire static defense front. In past wars, this city was located in the rear, but now, our own side is making a big detour. As an important node, we are now experiencing "cold and fever"

After returning from the prisoner camp, Enma said to Anjiexin and Bess: "I want to take this place, even if I lose more than half of it.

So, on the 26th, the Enma Group, which had completed its military assembly, attacked Kaidi City extremely quickly.

As the storage force on the eastern front of the empire, the most elite "devourer regiment" of the Kingdom of Osima is stationed here. The most distinctive vehicle of this regiment is the battlefield scavenger. This vehicle has eight mechanical legs and a furnace inside.

The huge magnetic suction port on the chassis of the Battlefield Scavenger (nicknamed the Ghoul) helps it scavenge on the battlefield. It enters the furnace to cut and weld war metal onto the damaged shell, which can replenish the destroyed armor.

The total weight of the "Battlefield Scavenger" is 200 tons to 260 tons, and there is a large amount of liquid metal inside. This liquid metal allows them to digest scraps of steel.

Iron Star technicians analyzed this land-crawling chariot: Plasma weapons will do a lot of damage to its (battlefield scavenger) liquid metal activity, just like the "Holy Illumination Undead".

The general in charge of guarding this place in the Kingdom of Osima is a third-level hero. This general was also temporarily transferred here by Osima after the war, because if this important place is controlled by the generals with great military achievements on the front, the king They are all worried.

...The aristocratic culture of the Kingdom of Osimar also has unreasonable contempt for the Iron Star Corps, which was born from a mud-legged family. …

On the night of the 26th, Enma set up an offensive stance, but did not attack immediately.

Facing this city with many defensive buildings, if we use the traditional large-scale shelling and removal tactics one by one, it will take seven or eight days. Even fifteen days and a half month. But time is definitely not enough. Wei Keng's battle plan is to win it within three days. Large-scale artillery cover must be used, and then soldiers rush to the front and implement close-range blasting tactics. This war is particularly costly to elite troops.

And Enma's attitude towards this strategic point is: "We can pay a lot of money to win it."

At dawn on the 27th, while other heavy-force groups of the Thunder and Flash Alliance were still mobilizing, the artillery bombardment began, and the Wei Keng of the Assault Halo was activated, always watching the various situations in Kaidi City.

Large-scale artillery successfully suppressed counterattacks from various strongholds.

At this time, looking down at the battlefield from a sky perspective, the bulging outline of the Kaidi City Fortress of the Kingdom of Osima was looming in the smoke of gunfire.

As Iron Star's stormtroopers rode battlefield unicycles (with four auxiliary mechanical legs) in skirmishing positions, they quickly attached themselves.

During the engineer assault, they only encountered four bunkers.

The sudden fire from these dark fortresses caused casualties to the commandos. Of course, for the Iron Star commander, injuring dozens of people in the process is not the key. Time is most important at this time. If it is stopped after one minute, Let the enemy's heavy artillery react, and hundreds and thousands of people will be killed.

After Iron Star's stormtroopers were blocked by the bunker, they immediately climbed down and notified the trench clearing team.

As the flamethrowers on the battlefield swept towards these bunkers, these bunkers became silent.

...Iron Star's military summary system goes deep into the team, making battlefield assault tactics coordinated like a biting machine...

Five minutes later, the Stormtroopers arrived at the fortress wall.

They carried ten kilograms of explosive bags, stacked several on top of each other, and placed them at the corners of the bunkers. As the fire broke out, gaps were opened in these fortresses that needed heavy artillery to pull out.

Of course, the entire fortress did not collapse, which shows the strength of its concrete and steel reinforcements. (And there is also the blessing of faith)

But as the commandos rushed in through the gap, they ignited the debris piled randomly by the enemy on the first floor of the military stronghold. Under the thick smoke, no matter how strong the fortress was, it was impossible to defend it. The stubborn Osimar soldiers on the upper floors had to jump off the building to seek help.

Narrator: After analysis, the discipline of the Osima soldiers stationed in this rear stronghold was very problematic, and they basically did not clean up their housekeeping, so that some corners on the first floor were used as garbage dumps. Broken telegraph machines and wine bottles were piled up, and there were many flammable materials among them.

The internal affairs of soldiers may seem to have nothing to do with actual combat, but habitual laxity while stationed on the battlefield can be fatal.

...A soldier is in a raging state, a den of generals is raging in a den, a kennel...

Five hours later, the outer strongholds were removed one by one. The Iron Star flags were raised one after another, from the outside to the inside, on the high-point buildings of Kaidi City.

Churches, warehouses, railway working buildings, coal storage sheds...

Following these flags, the Iron Star Artillery extended towards the city step by step.

Under the cover of land cruisers, light infantry and light armored vehicles, the Iron Star Legion moved into the core area of ​​​​the fortress. Later, while putting order into the city, the commander of the Osima Fortress was caught preparing to escape.

The cooperative warfare under the Iron Star system is a battle under the post-industrial culture of the earth's modern era. Only when "money worship" and "self-interest" are suppressed to a very small number can we be able to cooperate bravely on such a large scale.

In this assault war, a total of 78 of Wei Keng's second wave of descendants participated in the battle. Since almost all of them joined the commando team, 64 were injured or killed.

… Among Wei Keng’s descendants, not only came from the Sky Empire, but also began to come from Osimar itself. …

On the battlefield, each of the fortresses of the concrete fortresses, which were 20 meters high and looked like small black holes on the cliffs, was as terrifying as a big black hole. The assault guns that were ejected from the big mouths below the fortresses could have swept all the infantry, and the heavy guns on the top could have hit all the "Land Cruisers", which was a perfect defense in theory.

However, the Iron Star Land Cruisers carried the heavy firepower on the top of these fortresses to suppress the light firepower at the bottom of the fortresses, and the infantry rushed in to ignite after the rapid-fire firepower at the bottom of the fortresses was suppressed. This perfect defensive fortification was broken.

Also broken was the concept of static concrete fortifications, which had been powerful for almost hundreds of years on the entire continent. As long as the tactics were appropriate and the legion's fighting determination was strong, no matter how strong the fortifications were, they could be taken down.

…The engineer tactics began to become famous on this continent. …

In this battle, a total of 3,443 Iron Stars died in battle. Lost 6 large units of the Land Cruiser class, 15 light land-based armored vehicles of various types, 6 battlefield scavengers (which are actually semi-mining vehicles), two combat mechanical spiders (400-ton level) and three mechanical puppet war vehicles (which can summon 70-ton level wreckage mechanical warriors and can be dispersed by the heat tunnel of the fuel-air bomb) of the Devourer Legion were all wiped out.

Oshima's organization here is 6,000 people, and finally captured 4,733 people.

The northern quarter of this magnificent defense line of the Thunder Flash Alliance was cut off, and the entire static defense line was like a big snake that had been chopped off.

Since then, Iron Star has strategically expanded beyond the Sky Empire, catching the entire Wanlun Continent off guard.

…When the barrier was breached, every brick was oozing with blood…

Enma strolled on the battlefield without any smile. After really breaking through this iron wall, Wei Keng realized how much blood had seeped into this land.

This battle line was formed four hundred years ago. Together with the other three battle lines on the continent, it is called the Four Bloody Battle Lines. For hundreds of years, the two sides have relied on layers of rear-line fortresses and railway lines to strangle each other here like a meat grinder, and the number of casualties every hundred years has reached tens of millions.

Therefore, a "concept" has also been formed here. Any soldier who can survive on this battlefield will be slightly better than ordinary people due to the influence of the concept.

And if the general completes the defeat on the front line, the "reward" he gets will be greater. Many primary hero units have gained experience on this battlefield. Similarly, many veteran heroes also lost on the battlefield here and became old.

In the multiverse, everything has the nature of quantum storage of information. When a person is instilled with the concept of a hero and when a family has the meaning of the blood of a hero, it will always last for thousands of years.

[The Earth has conducted research on this aspect and found that after a warrior has obtained the concept of a hero, the genetic information of his descendants will open the etheric world information library like a key. People with heroic blood will be stronger than ordinary warriors who study hard even if they sleep every day. ]

As the hero who directly broke through this defense line, Enma is now level 8, and Anjiexin, who also participated in the battle, has been promoted to level 4, and Bess has also been upgraded to level 3. They are already orthodox heroes.

But the "upgraded" Enma stared at the "bloody battle site" under his feet with unprecedented seriousness

Enma thought of the "future history of fighting": This is damn, it is something that only demons would do.
