Chapter 37 Strategic Maneuver Plan

Although Randall is completely hands-off, which is a good thing for Amber.

But he still hopes to have a tactical staff member who can cooperate with his command.

Unfortunately, Amber looked through the members in the communication channel and couldn't find anyone suitable.

Major Randall stopped talking. This guy simply refused Amber's request to assist in command on the grounds that he didn't understand your army's operations.

Isabel wasn't very good either. She was okay at being a spy and a military doctor, but marching and fighting was really not her strong point.

As for the howling motorized infantry under his command?

Amber admitted that during this period of contact, these soldiers had shortcomings of one kind or another.

But at least he could still obey orders and hit wherever he was told.

It's definitely no problem to fight against the wind.

But you have to pull one person out from among them and ask him how to command a motorized infantry platoon to attack a small town.

This person will only answer loudly with a voice full of energy:

"Fight from point A to point B, sir!"

Amber helplessly covered her forehead. No, she should have covered her tactical visor.

"God, please give me a tactical advisor!"

Of course, this wish cannot be realized in a short period of time.

So Amber, who recognized the reality, finally accepted her fate.

As the convoy rushed to the last marked waypoint, Amber's mind began to work at full speed.

Although speeding in the wild without paved roads, Amber, who was sitting in the car, felt extremely bumpy.

But this did not affect his thinking.

After combining the news from Major Randall, the current situation map of the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield, and the size of the imperial fleet in memory.

Amber made a bold decision.

Capture the space elevator.

This was a decision that even Amber herself thought was nonsense.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more that it was feasible.

In the memory of the past life, why did the Federal Army on Robert 4 fight so badly?

Why did the remaining federal soldiers who survived and turned to guerrilla warfare only last for half a year?

Federal garrison food, this is indeed an important reason.

But it is undeniable that after a tactical nuclear strike by the Imperial Orbital Assault Ship.

The federal army lost almost 80% of its technical weapons and heavy equipment.

The Star Dragon Empire's landing force relied on airdrops, aerospace transport aircraft, and the most important space elevator.

Additional personnel and supplies were continuously obtained.

It can also be deployed as an armored brigade combat team (ABCT).

In such a situation where the combat power between the enemy and ourselves is extremely disparate.

Even if you let Amber, who is 'all-seeing, omniscient and omnipotent', he can't bring a bunch of light infantry to fight the armored troops.

By the way, thanks to the huge territory and industrial manufacturing capabilities.

Both the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire have equipped their most basic conventional infantry units with medium-sized exoskeletons.

Just like the standard rifles of the old days, everyone has one.

Therefore, the infantry units of this era are still called "light infantry".

But actually they are not light at all

Take the Federation as an example.

A standard mobile infantry should be equipped with a "Sabertooth Tiger 2" medium-sized exoskeleton powered by a gas turbine and a metal hydrogen battery pack.

On this basis, in addition to the protection provided by the exoskeleton, additional silicon carbide armor plates will be installed on key parts.

In terms of armament, generally speaking, an 8mm Gauss rifle will be mounted on the right arm rail.

The conventional choice for the left arm rail is a 20mm automatic shotgun or a 40mm automatic grenade launcher.

Both weapons can use a variety of ammunition to cope with different tasks.

There are also a small number of soldiers who will choose rocket-powered combat spikes.

While fully armed and loaded with ammunition and supplies.

The movement of these soldiers will not be restricted, and they can even run faster and jump higher with the support of the powerful power of the gas turbine.

But even the infantry are armed to the teeth.

There is still no way to confront real armored forces head-on.

In front of multi-legged combat vehicles, main battle tanks and HCP, motorized infantry are as vulnerable as children.

Therefore, in Amber's view, the Federation's defeat on Robert IV in the previous life was still 'excusable'.

But back to now, the situation has changed somewhat.

The Federal Army was still the same Federal Army. It suffered heavy losses in the orbital strike. Its main combat force was light infantry.

But the Imperial Army is no longer the Imperial Army in Amber's memory.

Without the important transportation capacity of the space elevator, the empire's landing force will not be able to deploy ABCT as quickly as in previous lives.

At this moment, the main combat force of the Imperial Army on the ground of Robert IV is also the orbital paratroopers, which are mainly light infantry.

Although they were able to obtain support from airdropped light multi-legged combat vehicles and HCP.

But compared to the previous life, the combat effectiveness has been weakened too much.

This level of weakening made Amber feel like she might as well give it a try.

At the same time, there are two reasons for choosing the space elevator as the target.

First, the current remnants of the federal army have no combat goals and are all fighting on their own.

Although everyone knows that they want to break out, they don't know in which direction to break out and by what means.

If the space elevator is targeted, it will at least allow the remaining federal soldiers to gather and move toward the equator.

This prevents them from fighting independently and being divided, surrounded and eliminated by the imperial forces.

Because of this fleet battle in orbit, the federal garrison fleet was completely wiped out.

In addition to some debris falling into the atmosphere and burning up, there are tens of millions of tons of debris floating in the outer space orbit of Robert IV.

These debris not only damaged a large number of federal satellites, but also greatly reduced the efficiency of the Empire's deployment of tactical reconnaissance satellites.

In the later stage of ground combat, the few tactical reconnaissance satellites did not actually detect the movements of the remaining federal soldiers.

Instead, they were first discovered by the ground forces that were constantly chasing them.

The debris orbiting in orbit not only interfered with satellite reconnaissance and communication, but also affected the attack efficiency of orbital attack ships.

These orbital attack ships, after receiving the fire support request from the ground forces, must also carefully plan to enter and withdraw from the orbit.

Second, whether it is the actions of the imperial forces in memory or the series of actions of the imperial forces in this life.

They all prove that the imperial forces do not want to destroy the space elevator.

They want to ensure the integrity of the space elevator and then control it.

After all, this "heaven and earth artery" has an amazing carrying capacity and can play a huge role in the post-war reconstruction process.

Moreover, although the Empire also has a full set of construction technology for facilities of this level.

But the construction period of 5-10 years is still very high.

This also makes their bottom line "occupy, don't destroy".

So when the federal forces gather near the space elevator, the Empire's orbital attack fleet will be cautious.

Whether it is the "Tunguska" tactical hydrogen bomb or the "David" tactical ground missile, it is easy to damage the space elevator.

And this giant "building" that relies on centrifugal force to tighten thousands of carbon nanotubes.

Once damaged, the entire force balance will be broken.

The consequences will be serious.

As more and more details are completed in Amber's mind.

A strategic maneuver plan of extremely large scale was recorded by Amber in the command module of the personal terminal.

After the physical connection between the personal terminal and the vehicle terminal, Amber can use the computing power of the vehicle equipment to strengthen the function of the command module.

"I can do this alone."

Amber, who clicked Save, exhaled a breath of foul air. This round of brainstorming made him feel a little mentally exhausted.

"It looks like you have made a huge battle plan?"

Major Randall, who had not interrupted Amber while she was working hard, came over after seeing Amber finally rest.

Although he could not understand the details of the army's operations, he could still see the macro level.

"Running all the way to the equator. I have to say this is a bold idea."

Randall did not make a direct comment, but continued to ask:
