Chapter 835 1916 Battle of Medog

Chapter 835 Chapter 19.16 Battle of Medog

The Broken Valley area of ​​the northern continent belongs to a small place called Medog Principality.

Two thousand years ago, this place was still independent and was once a mercenary country. Of course, as Vaner and Oshima gradually became super powers on the continent, this small principality went through the back and forth of the two sides' strength. The original feudal lords of the principality could not stand it, because they would be retaliated against which side they leaned to, so they gradually split and became a corporate parliamentary system.

Of course, this is also related to the balance of power. Since Vaner or Oshima would not let this place be controlled by the other party, it was also defaulted as a buffer zone.

However, in the past few hundred years, Oshima and Vaner's national strength has increased and decreased, and Medog can no longer be neutral.

In recent years, various industrial countries have discovered that deep in the continent, the sea basin hydrocarbon resources (oil) are enriched. This small country was a huge freshwater lake in ancient times, and it is also rich in huge amounts of hydrocarbons. As a rare oil mineral owner on land, Medog's "dignity of the common people" has also become more and more colorful.

Unsurprisingly, as various parties intervened in Medog, gangs were rampant here, and the public security was extremely poor.

For two hundred years, Medog can be said to have watched Oshima and Vaner confront each other within the scope of their own border, and they lived a leisurely life.

They guarded their own mine economy and maintained neutrality. They had enough financial resources to build their own national defense a little higher than the southern line standard. The thickness of the concrete fortress of Oshima on the southern line was three meters, and they built ten meters. Each fortress of Vaner on the northern line had sixty anti-aircraft guns, and they had one hundred.

It has to be said that such a hard bone makes it stand out in the defense line. When Vaner and Oshima were still in the imperial era, the generals of both sides carefully calculated their own troops and were unwilling to let their military forces knock on this slightly harder walnut.

Small countries can rely on stacking armor to maintain long-term peace during the smooth transition period of world military technology. But once they enter the next period of technological competition, they cannot catch up with technology.

For example, the defense of Medog stacking is still the old system, and the communication of the fortress is still megaphone and telephone line, and the LCD screen has not been digitized. (Compared to the telephone line, the LCD screen digitization seems to be only the difference of the soldiers' working tools, but the improvement of the firepower distribution operation in the battle is a qualitative difference)

When all the offensive technologies of Oshima have been greatly improved, such old things have turned from walnuts to crispy chips.

Especially-these small countries are still obsessed with their past speculative operations in front of the big countries, not knowing that they have no capital and continue to do it.

…Using the history of the end of the ancient industrial age…

In the late 1930s of the 21st century, it was a period of technological leap for large powers. Of course, the first echelon was still the superpowers on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, but this first echelon was also separated by tens of thousands of kilometers of ocean, and large-scale land battles could not be fought. The real main battlefield was still in Europe!

At the end of the 21st century, anti-tank missiles, rocket launchers, and urban concrete street fighting had all proven their power in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Twenty years later, small and medium-sized countries suddenly felt that they were just a walnut, an important bargaining chip that could cause big countries to lose blood. As a result, the small countries in Eastern Europe were quite confident.

But then, with the advancement of electronic technology, the prices of drones and mechanical dog parts dropped significantly.

The democratic arsenal of the New World and the world factory that has emerged for fifty years have made huge investments, which have made the times change rapidly, and the new quality of military combat power has developed with each passing day.

The bears that control energy and large areas of resources, and the old European countries of Germany, France and Italy that control traditional mechanical processing patents, although these medium-sized countries do not have the ability to keep up with the research and development, they still have the capital to purchase and introduce related production chains in the East and the New World. They can also suddenly transform into new quality combat power after the 1940s and 1950s.

So when the thoughts are still in the 21st century, the leaders and politicians of those small countries thought they could "lead" those "stormtroopers" with fierce street politics, relying on a few drones used in street fighting in concrete buildings, and then let people carry anti-tank missiles to give a heavy blow to the big countries. As a result, they suddenly found that they were carrying anti-tank missiles with human flesh, and encountered mechanical dogs carrying missiles and firing at them. In the end, a whole generation of young and middle-aged people died.

Humans will be afraid, but mechanical dogs will not, and the high degree of informatization allows mechanical dogs to directly mobilize the perspective of drones in the sky, and can bend perspective, and the soldiers of big countries will spend a lot of money to equip personal data links, that is, switch the perspective of the sky through VR glasses. Ordinary human soldiers in weak countries, whose only digital devices are mobile phones, rely on combat experience and physical judgment, and how can they be as fast as computers.

Falling behind by an era, the overall armament of small countries is like the musket soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, facing the muskets, bayonets and steel cannons of the same period in Europe. The wave of the powerful countries in World War I encountered the steel torrent of Germany in World War II.

…In the old continent in the south, Chi De: It is not terrible to be backward in technology, but it is terrible to be backward in perspective and arrogant. …

At present, in the Wanlun continent, the Medog area is such an area. Its upper class, who have made a lot of money by relying on hydrocarbon resources, have also followed Vaner to take the road of anti-Iron Star in the past few years.

And Oshima Iron Star also gave in step by step, ignored it, and only strengthened strategic backup.

Oshima gave in diplomatically when Medog thought that he was completely attached to Vaner and could become the hound of Vaner's alliance to participate in biting Iron Star and gain benefits.

The military strategists of Vaner believed that the small country of Medog was no longer qualified to exist. It should be used as a tool to test the waters.

Because in terms of new quality combat power, the so-called defense of this small country is too fragile in the confrontation between big countries. And Vaner hopes that Medog can absorb the strategic offensive power of Tiexing.

But Tiexing did not waste a single bit of strategic offensive power in Medog. Master Wei said: "You are already in armor, and the entire military force is covered with a shell. You fight with the shell. I will send a small team to watch you pretend at the border. Is it necessary to waste teeth?"

When Vaner declared war on Oshima, Oshima ignored Medog and directly bypassed Medog and counterattacked Vaner in the south. Maintain the strategic mobile force in the counterattack against Vaner.

This made the strategists of the Bo Ma side feel very embarrassed.

Osimer's "main battle tank" armored forces, a total of fifteen divisions and six hundred one-hundred-ton heavy tanks, did not attack the solid fortress in the Medog area, and then stagnated and were annihilated by the justice firepower of Van.

On the contrary, on the northern battlefield on March 1, when the Van Land Cruiser was slowly attacking, Osimer's Iron Star Armored Regiment arrived first, and the single-turret main battle tank moved to the flank of the Van Offensive Corps at an incredible speed of "fifteen hours and one hundred kilometers", and cooperated with the Dragon Guards' air force assault and aviation projection firepower to capture the Van Ruize Fortress in one fell swoop, cutting off the rear railway supply line of the Land Cruiser.

Ruize Fortress encountered a "three-dimensional" war. When the fortress encountered the enemy's land armored assault of fifty kilometers per hour and the roll call of six hundred guided firepower per minute in the sky at the same time, the defense of the fortress at this time was not a question of whether the large caliber could penetrate the armor, but that there was no time to operate at all. The firepower points on the defense line were pulled out, leaving only a relatively complete defense line.

The loss of Ruize Fortress put Vaner's 200,000 forward troops at a disadvantage from the beginning.

In the emergency military meeting, the generals were under pressure, and beads of sweat fell on their foreheads. Finally, they simply used pencils to redraw a supply line on the strategic map.

This supply line crosses Medog.

The military and civilians of Vaner have always wishful thinking that Oshima Tiexing will be the villain who attacks Medog, and they will be the savior who liberates Medog. The public sentiment on the Medog side is also on Vaner's side. The Medog people who admire the strong even proposed to vote to join the Vaner United Military Alliance.

But the reality is that Vaner himself became the "villain".

Just like the farmer who smiled at the chickens and ducks in spring, he started to boil water and pluck their feathers at the end of winter. The chickens and ducks thought they could join the farmer's table, and they finally joined, but it was different from what they thought.

On March 2, in order to deal with the "common" threat, Vaner directly sent a corps to Medog to "assist in defense."

The people of Medog have finally waited for the opportunity to join the economic alliance with Vaner. The long-awaited economic assistance should be coming, right? However, the top leaders of Medog suddenly realized that everything has to pay a price, and these prices will be borne by the bottom of Medog.

Even a powerful country will not easily stand in a war that has no direct interest in itself, in order to have more options. Weak countries have few options, but they are eager to show their interests for other countries. If they stand in a team, they will completely lose their autonomy. When a weak country is a piece of fat meat, when it falls into the teeth of a powerful country, can it still ask the other party to "chew slowly"?

In short, local scholars in Medog originally thought that the defensive garrison that came this time was only 10,000 or 20,000 troops.

In order to maintain the value of Medog's alliance, Vaner will help Medog arm 100,000 troops, and then in order to fight against Iron Star, it will boost Medog's economy.

But they think too well? What qualifications does Medog have to consume Vaner's resources to arm itself in the current situation? Is it because they are "strong in combat effectiveness" that they can have a legion that sweeps across Oshima? Or is it that the people are determined and can be nailed there like a rock? When the whole court is full of speculators, and speculation has cost them their dignity, then they are a soft persimmon.

For Vaner's military, instead of investing in Medog's "high risk, uncertain" combat power, it is better to directly eat up all the resources of Medog and turn it into a shield.

After Vaner's 300,000 troops were stationed, they took control of Medog by force, and the Vaner Capital Group that followed up completely controlled the entire supply of materials in the small country. As for Medog's original government, it was preserved.

So why not just take over the government of the small country? Because Medog's government is originally an inefficient money-loser.

…In the imperialist war, the military relied on its own merchants to supply materials, and in response, it handed over the leadership of the occupied area to merchants...

So in March, when Vaner and Tiexing were fighting, the Medog area was The series of operations is a standard way of inviting wolves into the house!

When the Vaner Corps was fighting for the final battle with Iron Star, the members of the Medog Parliament were still jumping up and down, wanting to stand on the side of "justice", and then they approved the entry of the Vaner Corps.

On March 2, the members of the Medog Parliament specially opened the city gate and watched these 1,000-ton super land cruisers crush their street lights and enter the city.

Then they welcomed the "justice" officers, and all the members of the Parliament were "escorted" home.

Then, there was no more, and these members of the Parliament were never seen again. The ones on the stage were the partners supported by Vaner's private business.

The Vaner commanders carried out extensive commercial divisions in the entire Medog area.

It's just that Medog's local currency cannot be purchased from local stores that are out of stock. Only military tickets issued by Vern can be purchased at Vern's military supply stores.

The wealth of the entire country was quietly transferred to foreign countries without anyone noticing, without even a single protest.

…The greater the stupidity, the greater the price will be incurred. Making noises with idiots will often lead to bottomless despair. …

On the Iron Star side, in the entire general operations command hall, Su Ni was looking at the big red screen in front of him. The 16th, 8th, and 9th Iron Star Armored Groups in front had locked Ver's land cruiser formation. .

The military systems of Osima and Iron Star are now integrated, and this alliance was arranged five years ago.

The military combat systems of the Sky and Osima Dragon Guards are jointly trained to prepare for the final battle on the continent.

At the beginning of the war, the southern air raid and the northern defensive counterattack were both good. If the main force of Ver (Boma) wants to take it back, they can only go to the Medog area.

The main battlefield for both sides may be in the Medog area. Boma can only launch a large-scale attack on Iron Star from the Medog area.

Wei Keng: As long as it is Ver that initiates the war, Verme's speculative politicians will lose their independent leadership over Medog.

Because after Ver's immediate dismissal, Medog politicians led the government to unilaterally attack Ver's defense, and all the "bad things" in Ver's country (medical companies, food companies, military companies) will eat away at Medog like viruses, and Medog Politicians blindly glorify their allies while standing in line, and at the same time the military is dominated by "allies". When the Medog people are drained of their faith and strength by the power of Vernal capital, the Medog people no longer exist as "local" variables.

In other words, if Iron Star launches the attack first and the Medog politicians are forced to get involved in the battle, they will have the power to lead the Medog people to fight. In the battle, they will prove the value of their own group to lead the Medog, and then they can compete with Ver The various economic forces on one side can still have the authority to draw rules for the Ver Company and curb Ver Capital's bottomless behavior in the war.

Therefore, over the years, when faced with the increasingly radical politicians in Medog, Iron Star spokespersons have always repeated themselves like a repeater: respecting the choice of the Medog people.

When facing all the conflicts on the Medog border, the leader of the Austrian Railway, Wei Yun, kept his tactics to a small scale and resolutely refused to shoot. When encountering bad cross-border provocations, he would beat them back with a mace. Just don't fall for the trap and don't take the initiative to launch a large-scale attack.

Tie Xing jumped up and down in every incident against the Medog political sticks, with the same attitude of "I won't come, do you dare to come?" Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

It can be said that the politicians in Medog knew that the two camps of Wanlun were bound to fight.

They were betting on war, on Iron Star rushing in, but they were defeated by themselves, but this bet was destined to be fruitless. They didn't bet on Iron Star moving, and when Verne couldn't bear it anymore.

As the Ver soldiers took medicine and welcomed the female students from Medog, waving flags and shouting, they were just little sheep sacrificing themselves to the big bad wolf in vain.

Wei Keng: Now that most of the people in Medog have been devoured, exploited and abandoned, their morale has long since declined and been exhausted. Will they spontaneously side with Ver and form a resistance force against the Iron Star? Resist the Iron Star and then continue to sell blood to Ver?

One "correct" slogan after another has been used, and "slogans" are as useless as adrenaline to a completely exhausted body.

You know, the Vermilion has already operated a blood selling station in Medog, calling on the people of Medog to actively donate blood, and then the blood will be sold privately.

Wei Keng has always kept one thing in mind, that is, Boma has nuclear bombs.

Speaking of this, Wei Keng couldn't help but look at the vertical and horizontal attack lines on the southern front of Ver and Osimar. These were the attack directions of the Osimar dragon guards at this time.

Su Ni looked at Zheng Nian on the information communication interface. As well as the huge information battlefield behind him, he seemed a little helpless. In the original plan, he would be responsible for such a high-risk interleaved combat mission in this decisive battle.

But when the war started, Zheng Nian acted as the center of light, guiding the entire army's general military attack, and at the same time, he issued a sarcastic declaration of war to the other side. Wei Keng was basically in the second echelon of the Dragon Guards, and he was removing important strategic targets of Ver in a step-by-step manner. Fighting is just like training, there are no surprises!

This made Wei Keng, who was accustomed to being interrupted by God and having many complications, a little overwhelmed by such a "success". However, Wei Keng knew that this was not the mercy of the gods, but someone blocking the darkness ahead for him.

..."Liberation" means that one person has long been accustomed to carrying mountains on his back and being moved by another person...

On March 2, at 4:23 pm, in the territory of Ver, the central combat command fighter plane where Zheng Nian was located was issuing rapid orders.

The seventh attack team, in the southeast corner of your front, there are signs of train movement. Please send a combat team to the point I marked to drop mines within five minutes.

The third attack group keeps an eye on combat vehicles at all times. Yes, the tail-biting plan is to chase the opponent and make the enemy run (this is to make the enemy accelerate forward unconsciously in order to avoid the pursuit of firepower from behind. And there is no way at all. Send people to get off the train despite air strikes and check the tracks)

The 15th attack group was ready to join the 7th attack group, waiting for the order from the commander of the 7th group to launch a surprise bombing (the 7th group dropped mines, and once the train stepped on the mines, the violent turbulence would cause chaos in the anti-aircraft firepower and make it impossible to effectively fight against the air. Then it would be time to attack the top)

…

Seventeen minutes later, on the material supply line from Vaner to Medog in the south, the huge train derailed, and the crooked turret fell beside the track, and several sections in the middle were bombed and caught fire.

Before Vaner's airship arrived, Zheng Nian, who launched the attack, had already moved to other targets.

Although Vaner still maintained an advantage in firepower and manpower on the front line, the air force represented by Zheng Nian was carrying out surprise attacks at any time of day and night, destroying one hundred important targets every hour.

This attack was far away from the big cities. It can even be said that except for the beginning of the war, Zheng Nian directly interspersed and gave Vaner a "meeting in the air". After shooting down an air battleship, he never fought in the city again. It was just pretending to be x and running away.

Of course, Zheng Nian has verified and completed the "combat mode", and the rest is all about the subsequent in-depth development of details by the Chinese people.

As early as two years ago, through continuous military exercises, Zheng Nian came up with a formula:

If the air force can strike more than a thousand targets every day, these targets include "dynamic trains", "ground transport teams", "temporary deployment of material supply stations" and other security targets that support the army's forward movement. Then it is equivalent to temporarily occupying the city where the enemy supplies materials to the large army!

After calculating from the logistics coordination, Wei Yun determined: There is a process from the city logistics base to the frontier army.

The traditional land cruiser ground army attack is to occupy the relevant cities, following the "battle" formula, that is, in a large-scale attack, the main military forces of the opponent are eliminated at one time.

When the air force appears, the war form is different. The fast-paced side directly prevents the opponent from completing the assembly.

In fact, Zheng Nian also has a key point in his mind that he has to think about Vaner, that is, the "super bomb" that caused a huge crater in Fengyu City.

…The axis goods have determined to limit nuclear weapons to a small area on the mainland, while the leather goods have decided to take the lead and lead the team to contain the nuclear crisis at the lowest cost.

In the overall strategic perspective of Su Ni, due to the fast and diligent air force of Zhengnian, it was inserted behind the heavy troops of Vaner and repeatedly cut the channel, which made the military operations in front of Vaner very slow.

This made the huge attack cluster composed of more than 240 land cruisers on the Vaner side very slow in force and speed. If Vaner did not take out that "trump card", it would not be able to break the situation.

On the contrary, the heavy cruisers of Oshima and Sky were only one-third of the force size, and in some places it was one-fourth, but they could jump back and forth and constantly appear in the weak points of the Vaner Corps, so that Vaner could not attack head-on, and had to repeatedly fill the gaps and contact friendly forces.

[Wei Keng sighed: If the Vaner logistics team had an indomitable spirit, such as the patience to rebuild a bridge ten times after it was blown up ten times! Then I really met my opponent. But can those gods cultivate such supreme "vitality"? 】

The reason why Vaner disregarded his face to occupy the Medog area was that he was getting farther and farther away from the rear city during the frontal advance, and the guarantee was not smooth! He could only take Medog first as a supply node for the front-line attack.

It can even be said that within a week after the war, all Vaner's main forces had to be pushed to Medog.

But this situation is similar to the Battle of Yiling in the Three Kingdoms. When Emperor Zhaolie of Han led his army to avoid the summer and had to enter the woods to station, he unknowingly fell into a passive position.

Su Ni: Once you enter Medog, don't come out.

…After confirming that Boma did not have the vehicle capability of "heavy warhead ultra-long-range projection" in the first phase of the battle, then he had to go...

On March 3, the entire Iron Star Army's 35 land cruisers and 1,500 land armored vehicles attacked from the north line and directly encircled Medog. On the afternoon of the third day, after defeating the seven land cruisers that Vaner was preparing to enter the city, the 270,000 troops on the northern line of Vaner were completely trapped in the Medog area.

The key to the first phase of the Vaner and Tiexing battle was thus concentrated in Medog.

The highest military command of Tiexing issued a death order that the Medog defense line must be taken before March 12. During this period, the remaining defense line troops fully cooperated with the encirclement and annihilation operations to block the Vaner troops from heading north for rescue.
