Chapter 84 Blue Bay

The federal troops on Robert IV and the task force that was "guerrilla warfare" near the planet did not know that two fleets had already set out and were heading towards the Robert galaxy.

They did not know that in the capital galaxy, the opposition had already launched an impeachment against the president in Congress.

When the House of Representatives held a discussion on the relevant issues, although President Brandon, as a "related person" of the issue, was theoretically not allowed to attend the meeting.

But he still wore his congressional brooch and attended the House of Representatives meeting.

At the same time, a federal Democratic senator who attended the meeting gave a speech in the "incompetent fury" of the opposition by "giving the opportunity to speak to former Corolla Senator Brandon".

Understand the rules, play with the rules, and make the rules.

This is also the reason why Brandon was able to stand in this position in the end.

The final result of the meeting was as expected by Minister Miller. There was no procedural problem with the president's ordering the fleet to conduct exercises at the border, and the opposition's impeachment was also rejected because of the uncertainty of the military intelligence of "border attack".

In this case, each member of the opposition hoped that the military intelligence was wrong and the Empire did not actually launch an invasion.

Only in this way can the election next year proceed smoothly. At that time, Brandon, who is lagging behind in the opinion polls, may not be re-elected under their manipulation.

As the president of the Federation, Brandon has now become one of the few people in the Federation who is extremely looking forward to the smooth outbreak of the war between the Federation and the Empire.

On the other hand, due to the emergence of the task force, the pressure on the Federation ground forces has been greatly reduced compared with before.

In particular, the frequency and ability of the Imperial Fleet's orbital strikes and orbital airdrops have decreased, so that their ground forces are no longer as advantageous as they were at the beginning.

After all, according to the initial idea of ​​the Imperial Fleet Operation Command, the ground forces are more likely to separate the remnants of the Federation, and then act as "eyes" to guide the orbital strikes, so as to realize the idea of ​​annihilating the enemy with a small number of troops.

At the same time, the armored brigade-level combat team under the Eighth Expeditionary Strike Group was quickly transported through the space elevator.

But obviously, in the case that the space elevator cannot be used and the Federation task force is constantly harassing, this idea can only be an idea.

Seeing that the hope of a quick victory has gradually become slim, under the order of Marquis Ascania, the ground forces adjusted the combat plan under the command of the General Staff.

The orbital paratroopers and supporting mechanical units no longer aimed to divide and surround the remnants of the Federation and guide the attack, but began to concentrate.

Relying on the firepower advantage brought by HCP in the local battlefield, they encircled and suppressed the remnants of the Federation who did not have time to escape the encirclement, and gave priority to strangling these living forces.

As for the other remnants of the Federation who had completed the breakout, in the eyes of the Marquis of Ascania, they were blocked on this planet, and their destruction was only a matter of time.

However, the premise is that no other accidents occurred.

Based on this background, the temporary 83rd Composite Brigade where Amber was located, after temporarily completing the breakout, the frequency of encountering the Imperial forces was indeed greatly reduced.

This also allowed this team, whose marching speed was constantly increasing, to arrive at the last path point in the North Continent earlier than expected - the port city of Blue Bay.

According to the plan, the troops will be supplied here and go to the South Continent where the space elevator is located by means of transportation in the port.

Unfortunately, during the early reconnaissance, it was regrettable that traces of the Imperial forces were found in this city.

Although Lieutenant Colonel Dallas has been trying to avoid fighting as much as possible to preserve his strength for the final battle.

But at present, apart from Blue Bay, the nearest port city is still 400 kilometers away. If the destination is adjusted rashly, it would be a bit of a loss if we still encounter the imperial troops.

This also made the brigade staff finally add a new combat plan in front of the original plan.

And it is a city combat plan that makes everyone headache.

"So I hate street fighting the most."

Looking at the latest combat order issued by the brigade, Amber also felt a headache.

Compared with other battles, ground street fighting is the battle that Amber hates the most.

Because the combat distance is infinitely shortened, both sides are in close combat, the enemy and us are mixed together, and the probability of close combat is very high, which is extremely dangerous.

Various winding streets, complex terrains, and enemies hidden in the dark make street fighting full of countless unpredictable factors.

And after entering close combat, the effect of long-range fire support in the rear will be greatly affected.

Because once the front-line fire observer reports the coordinates, or the firing parameters of self-propelled artillery and rockets have the slightest deviation, it will cause great accidental injuries.

Even the most elite troops could be destroyed in the city because of an intelligence error or a mistake in on-the-spot command.

This was especially true of the street fighting that Amber experienced in the game in her previous life. The coordination between players was sometimes outrageous. It was common for several player teams to be crowded in a block and then covered by their own long-range firepower.

The combat effectiveness was not even as good as that of the NPC army.

"Now it depends on how many imperial troops there are in Blue Bay."

In the communication relay car, Amber discussed the battle plan with Randall while looking at it.

"If the number is not large, and Lieutenant Colonel Dallas is also very determined to fight, it should be possible to quickly win at the cost of certain casualties."

"What if there are more?" Randall, who was not familiar with ground combat, had become a studious student during this period.

"If there are more, it might be a good thing. The lieutenant colonel would probably give up and move to another place."

"What if there are neither too many nor too few?"

"Neither too many nor too few." Amber looked up at the roof of the car, and some bad memories came to her mind.

"That would be the worst result. Both sides would be deadlocked in the city. Not only would we not be able to achieve the goal of a quick victory, but we might also be hit by orbital strikes."

"Ah, this."

Major Randall's face turned a little ugly. As a federal naval officer, he naturally knew how lethal orbital strikes were to ground forces.

"But it also depends on the determination of the imperial forces to fight, and whether the commander or combat staff of the imperial fleet above us would treat the ground forces as human beings."

Amber stretched out a finger and pointed upwards.

"If they treat the ground troops as human beings, then when the two sides' troops are fighting each other in the city, maybe they will be afraid to act rashly."

"Then do you think the commander of this imperial fleet will treat their troops on the surface as human beings?"

"Major, why do you think I know this? I'm just a small warrant officer. Even if I'm a psychic agent, it doesn't mean I'm omniscient, right?"

Amber responded speechlessly.

"How about this, you wait here, I'll help you ask the Imperial Fleet Operations Command to see if they plan to launch an orbital strike."

Amid Major Randall's embarrassed smile, Amber complained while getting out of the communication relay vehicle.

Walking out from the camouflage net set up by the communication relay vehicle, Amber looked up at the sky, and a long-range drone was passing over his head, flying towards the direction of Blue Bay.

This is a high-altitude reconnaissance drone released by the brigade drone battalion after building a temporary field airport.

At this time, he and the mobile infantry platoon were resting in a predetermined hidden point, which was less than 50 kilometers away from Blue Bay.

The entire 83rd temporary combined brigade was distributed in a siege circle 40-50 kilometers away from the city according to the issued combat plan, waiting for the final attack order.

Watching the drone gradually disappearing in the sky, Amber turned and walked towards another nearby "Kodo" transport truck that also set up a camouflage net.

Although he could not contact the Imperial Fleet Combat Command, there was another Imperial noble in the team who could consult.

Two chapters a day is really the limit for part-time writing. I really think it's too little. I can keep it for a while and remember to come back and read it later~

Then I really didn't delete the comments. You didn't attack me personally, so why should I delete them? I asked the editor and other authors, and it should be because the comments involved key politics or sensitive words and were swallowed. Everyone should pay attention when commenting~

PS: I will save more manuscripts this month, and I will try to write on Saturdays and Sundays starting in February
