Chapter 87 Lilith, Strong! Invincible!

Based on the analysis of the reconnaissance images taken by the long-range drone in the early stage, the combat staff of the brigade finally determined that there were about two battalions of orbital paratroopers, a light multi-legged tank company, and a HCP platoon with 4 "Fanatics" in Blue Bay.

In terms of organization, this is a standard Star Dragon Empire orbital paratrooper regiment.

Unlike the large number of brigade-level combat teams under the Star Dragon Empire Royal Army, the Royal Navy orbital paratrooper force, which is mainly composed of infantry, light armored forces and a small number of HCPs, still retains more traditional regimental-level combat units.

In planetary landing operations, orbital paratroopers are basically deployed in regiments.

Judging from the organization of the two warring parties alone, the temporary 83rd synthetic brigade seems to have a greater advantage.

Because under normal circumstances, a standard synthetic brigade of the Federal Army without personnel and equipment reinforcement should have 9 battalion-level combat units under its jurisdiction.

These include 4 synthetic battalions, 1 self-propelled artillery, 1 air defense battalion, 1 reconnaissance battalion, 1 combat support battalion, and 1 logistics support battalion.

But in fact, after the initial orbital strike and the breakout operation, the combined brigade led by Lieutenant Colonel Dallas was seriously short of manpower.

The shortage was mainly reflected in the four combined battalions as the front-line troops.

After a series of battles and the collection of remnants, the temporary 83rd Combined Brigade has only two combined battalions.

It is equivalent to the most important front-line units, which are directly reduced by 50%.

Although each of the two combined battalions still retains the organization of two multi-legged tank companies, both the "Wolf Spider Modified" light multi-legged tank and the "Mammoth" heavy multi-legged tank are actually lacking in quantity.

This also led to the fact that the number of troops directly entering the city to grind meat was actually similar between the Federation and the Empire.

So in the initial combat plan, the brigade staff thought of using the suddenness of the first round of long-range firepower strikes to directly knock out the regiment headquarters of the Imperial troops in Blue Bay.

But they searched for a long time in the photos taken by the drone, and did not find any suspected regiment headquarters.

Although several places with antennas and suspected communication nodes were found, no targets with regiment headquarters characteristics were found near these nodes.

Finally, the targets of long-range fire strikes can only be changed to other key targets including communication nodes and temporary bases.

At the end of the first round of calibration, the fire control center of the brigade evaluated the strike effect based on the images sent back by the drone, and notified the long-range fire strike unit to adjust the shooting parameters.

In addition to the two trucks left in the outer preparation area, and a "Mongoose 4" and a mobile infantry squad responsible for vigilance, Amber has commanded the rest of the combat forces to enter the city, and killed three imperial teams that did not have time to shrink back through sneak attacks.

As for why the positions of these three teams can be accurately found, and even ambushed on their must-pass roads.

It mainly depends on Lilith's performance.

Although she was worried that this artificial intelligence tail would be lifted to the sky, Amber had to admit that Lilith did make a great contribution.

As a psychic agent, Amber has the authority to directly access the city management system.

So after entering the city, Amber directly drove the communication relay vehicle, which was used as a temporary command vehicle, to the location of a civilian communication base station and completed the docking.

Then, after Amber used her authority to enter the city management system, Lilith, who used the communication relay vehicle as auxiliary computing support, not only quickly completed the modeling of the entire city through a large number of urban planning drawings stored in the Blue Bay Town Management Center.

At the same time, all cameras in the city were connected, whether official or private, as long as they were connected to the network, they could not escape Lilith's "claws".

Using the images sent back by these cameras, Lilith directly marked the locations of all the discovered Imperial teams on the 3D modeling of the city and kept it updated in real time.

With the support of such almost one-way transparent battlefield information, Amber quickly captured three unlucky Imperial teams.

According to Amber's instructions, the three anti-vehicle teams ambushed them on their must-pass roads in advance and successfully completed the ambush.

At present, according to the information fed back by Lilith, the Imperial orbital paratroopers responded quickly after the first round of firepower attack and hid some of their living forces with the help of the buildings and bridges in the city.

Although the self-propelled artillery battalion and two rocket launchers carried out several rounds of long-range fire strikes, successfully destroying several temporary communication nodes of the imperial forces and bombing the troops resting in the temporary base.

But Amber conservatively estimated that at least 60% of the troops were still scattered and hiding in the city.

Especially the four Zealots, which were completely unscathed.

In Amber's opinion, in an urban combat environment, these four HCPs, which have stronger mobility and firepower strike capabilities than traditional units, will be the biggest obstacle encountered by the attacking forces.

"Lilith, can you confirm the armed configuration of the four HCPs?"

"No, Master, these cameras are cheap, and they can't be seen clearly from a little further away."

"Forget it, I'll find a chance to confirm later. Is the remote connection ready?"

Looking at the main force that has begun to advance on the tactical map, Amber also plans to cooperate with them to launch an attack from the northeast.

"It's OK, Master! I have written a temporary operating system that is compatible with the onboard terminal of the communication relay vehicle. Now we can keep monitoring the battlefield without direct connection, but data refresh may be affected to a certain extent."

"It doesn't matter. Having this information is already cheating."

After hearing Lilith's reply, Amber pulled off the connection line connected to the onboard terminal and left the temporary command vehicle.

Several mobile infantrymen immediately brought the transport box of the 'Breaker 2' exoskeleton and assisted him in changing clothes quickly.

Because of the next battle, Amber can't hide in the back to command.

After all, there are only a dozen remnants who have survived with him until now. These soldiers who have experienced cruel battles are also the only 'elite soldiers' left in his hands.

In terms of the intensity of the battles they have experienced, they have exceeded the soldiers supplemented by the brigade headquarters-most of these soldiers are remnants collected on the road. Not only are their morale low, but their combat effectiveness is not strong either.

Amber can understand that in this situation, it is good enough to supplement his troops.

It was impossible for the brigade to split up its complete troops to supplement him.

So in order to ensure the overall combat effectiveness, Amber could only split these original "veterans" who had experience in fighting HCP into several mobile infantry squads as the backbone.

Even so, Amber was not very reassured, so he planned to go on the field himself.

"Everyone pay attention, prepare for battle!"

"Everyone cheer up! The street fighting hell is ahead of you!"

Sorry, sorry, forgot to post it on time
