Macho Wars

"Colonel Li, the relationship between you and your wife is really good."

"Ok?"

Suddenly realizing that her tone just now seemed a little subtle, Karen quickly coughed twice to hide her embarrassment.Dragon, a sophisticated person, naturally heard something wrong.

The two fell silent tacitly, as if nothing had happened just now, but the atmosphere between them has not changed back to the original natural.

Dragon was very puzzled. He didn't seem to have done anything that could easily cause misunderstanding. How could he pry the old emperor's "corner" in a confused way?

Fortunately, Yunlong came over at this moment, and Dragoon hurriedly greeted him, so that he could keep away from Kalen.

"How is the condition of the plane?"

"There is no major problem when the plane arrives, but the problem lies in our oil. The purity of the oil tree sap sent in the next few batches is obviously not enough, and it freezes in the cold."

"I will reflect on this immediately."

The aviation fleet currently has 20 tons of fuel reserves for use by eight Haiyan fighter jets.This amount may sound a lot at first, but in fact it is not disabled at all.

Because the internal fuel tank of a Haiyan fighter has 280 liters, it can continue to fly for about four to five hours after it lifts off.That is to say, all eight seagulls take off to fight, and the fuel consumption to fill the entire field is about two tons.With such a calculation, twenty tons is not enough.

However, the logistics department of the colony is indeed unable to do anything. The world has not found natural oil so far, and the oil tree, as a plant, has its own growth cycle.

Before the saplings on the New World grow up, all the oil supply depends on the 377 adult oil trees on Longgong Island. The output is really touching!

Fortunately, the current battle situation has entered a stalemate. The frontline forces of the two sides are facing each other across the river, and there has been no large-scale exchange of fire for a long time.The senior officers of the Expeditionary Army didn't seem to plan to transfer the Marine Brigade to the front line anymore, and threw them on Nas's side until now.

Dragoon didn't know that the reason why they were not allowed to play was purely to give the Fourth Division from the Central Military Region a chance to perform alone.

Since the beginning of the Far East Campaign, there have been active marine brigades in several major battles.On the other hand, the Fourth Division from the mainland did not only end up later than the Marine Brigade, but the few battles it took part in were unremarkable.This made the 4th Division feel a little frustrated, and undermined their reputation as the "Royal Guards" of the Central Military Region.

So this group of guys thought of a genius "good idea", that is, without playing with other troops, they went up to single-handedly challenge the hundreds of thousands of principality troops on the other side.

And what gave them this courage was not Liang Jingru, who was far away on the earth, but the purest strength!

We must know that the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division has always been hailed by the outside world as one of the five main forces of the Imperial Army. The division has 22,000 personnel. The equipment used can be said to represent the highest level of the Imperial military industry.Even the second-hand goods they replaced were rushed by many troops.

Compared with them, even the most elite troops of the Principality Army are as shabby as the beggars.

The Fourth Division plans to fight a beautiful annihilation battle, with the main goal of severely injuring the active forces on the opposite shore, so that the enemy forces will not be able to organize an effective counterattack for a long time in the future.Even a good fight can force the other party to sign the armistice agreement, thus ending the war and returning home before the new year.

To this end, they need to wait for the temperature to drop further until the ice on the river is thick enough to allow light armored vehicles and wheeled vehicles to pass, and then launch a large-scale attack.

The climate in the Far East was as they wished. Starting from the first snowfall, it fell below minus 30 degrees in just a dozen days, and the freezing of the hundreds of meters wide river surface became stronger and stronger.

Regarding the plan of the Fourth Division, although Henry, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, was willing to dissuade him, but the commander of the Fourth Division was lieutenant generals at the same level as him, and the opponent was a duke of an old family.People are only polite to Henry on the surface, but in fact they won't take your orders at all.

In desperation, Henry could only let him go.

At this time, on the side of the Marine Brigade, Dragun still knew nothing about the fourth division's combat plan.

Staying on Nas's side and having nothing to do, he simply brought the troops into cold training.Every day, he led more than two thousand brawny men shirtless standing outdoors and rubbing snow on him.Occasionally, he would accept invitations from the Tarrance military to teach their young officers.

It's just that every time he went to class, he would meet Karen who "coincidentally" to condole, and the atmosphere after the two met was always embarrassing unspeakable.

Karen also felt as if she was possessed by a demon. She was clearly sensible and kept admonishing her that she was about to marry the emperor of the empire. At this time, she should keep herself clean and stay away from other men as much as possible.But she seemed to have split her personality, leaving her body completely out of control.

Although Karen didn't want to admit it, it seemed that she was trying to abandon her instinct at work, like a poor man about to fall into an abyss, still struggling instinctively towards the unreachable sky.

Chapter 292

The howling cold wind skips the banks of the Rainbow River, and the night in the Far East is always accompanied by falling snow.

A small group of soldiers in white clothes sneaked into the night, quietly stepped on the ice surface, and used the conductive heating tube they carried to scald small holes in the ice surface directly to the river water to measure the thickness of the ice layer in various sections of the river surface. .

As the temperature continues to decrease, the flow of the Rainbow River, which is already very gentle, is frozen almost overnight, and the ice layer continues to thicken at a rate of 10-20 cm per day.

A dozen detection teams from the Fourth Division carefully measured the thickness of the ice against the cold wind and the risk of being spotted by the enemy on the shore.

These data will be aggregated to the division headquarters for their staff to find the best breakthrough point.

Through the information provided by the intelligence department, the expeditionary force has roughly figured out the reality of the enemy on the shore.

The remnants of the Principality’s army withdrawn from the East Bank and the last local reserve army were deployed on the West Bank, with a total strength of approximately 140,000.

But because of previous successive defeats.The morale of these troops is rather low and they lack heavy weapons.Especially for those troops called "reserve divisions" by the Principality Army, most of the soldiers were recruits who were forcibly enlisted after the state's general mobilization. The average training time was less than three weeks, and the officers who led the team had little experience.

Facing such inferior troops, the commander of the Fourth Division made a very contemptuous evaluation.He only needs to dispatch half a regiment of light infantry to easily defeat such a so-called "preparatory division".

The only thing that can make the Fourth Division feel jealous is the Unknown Federal Army.

Affected by the wind and snow, the expeditionary force has been forced to terminate the reconnaissance activities of the air force.It is also difficult for intelligence personnel lurking on the other side to monitor the federal border around the clock.

If the Union Army chooses to quietly transfer a division and brigade-level unit at this time, the Imperial Army will probably not notice it at all.

However, there are also some staff members who believe that the Federal Army should not be fighting in such a ghostly weather.

In the past, the Imperial Army fought against the Federation's synthetic beasts, and discovered that these "moving pieces of meat" would become slow in low temperature environments, and their regeneration capabilities were also affected.

And now the average temperature on both sides of the Rainbow River has fallen below minus 30 degrees. If the Federal Army really gets those synthetic beasts, it's not about turning them into cold meat!

Therefore, the Fourth Division finally studied and decided to launch an attack on November 1.The five regiments advanced side by side, launching strong attacks from different locations at the same time, pushing them flat like a road roller.

Since the goal of the Fourth Division is to wipe out more than two-thirds of the enemy, the division commander asked his soldiers to eliminate at least four enemies each at the mobilization meeting before the war. This is an assignment assigned to them. Those who fail are not eligible to stay in the Fourth Division.

This set of "operations" seemed harsh, but in fact it was full of contempt for the enemy, so the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division were morale boosted after hearing this, and their fighting spirit soared.

They are elite, as the elite should be!

So after careful preparation, the fourth division's general attack began as scheduled.Henry, who had been paying attention to their actions, provided them with support for nearly 70% of the artillery of the expeditionary army.In addition to the 4th Division’s own heavy howitzer regiment, a total of two hundred artillery pieces with a caliber of 75 mm or more were put into battle.

Dense artillery fire, like a meteor shower, flew over the Rainbow River, covering the enemy positions on the opposite bank.

Following the command of the Fourth Division, the Tarrans officer group who was accompanying to watch the battle shed tears of envy after seeing such a spectacular scene.

"You can really do whatever you want with money!"

The bombardment was so violent that it could be called extravagant that it lasted for nearly an hour. Seeing that the fourth division was almost done, the five combat regiments immediately launched an offensive to the opposite shore.

The 4th Division is a mechanized unit, and sufficient vehicles are their most proud advantage.All vehicles that can pass through ice have been skid-resistant.The soldiers sat on their vehicles and only took two minutes to reach the other side of the river.

After the troops went into combat, the regiments crossed the river one after another and directly entered the enemy's position.The old and weak remnants on the opposite side could not stop these tiger-wolf divisions armed to the teeth, and the line of positions along the river was quickly breached.

Seeing the good news from each regiment, the commander of the Fourth Division finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Hmph! Let me just say it! The enemy is too weak. To bully this kind of rookie, the Imperial Army can easily pick a second-line or higher-level unit, and it can easily crush them."

"Sir, the 32nd regiment has reported on the front line. The enemy has begun to be defeated across the board. Please tell me whether to continue the pursuit?"
