Macho Wars

So the Independence Regiment set off in an emergency, led by the tank battalion, and dared to go to the town of Orphee.

Dragon received notice from Henry on the way that Tarrance could support him with three infantry regiments, but these infantry regiments were all newly formed rookies.

I didn't even finish the three-week simple training. The weapons used were seized spoils, barely reaching a rifle in one hand, and there were almost no heavy weapons.

Fortunately, there is an expeditionary army's material operation base in Offi Town, where a large amount of weapons and ammunition are stockpiled.

Henry's side is also considered safe, he allows Dragon full command to mobilize all materials and personnel of the base.

If the enemy forces really come from the coast, instead of burning them or snatching them away, they might as well take them out and distribute them to the friendly forces, and find a way to give Te Niang a shot!

In less than half a day, the pilot team rushed back to Orphee Town.The local material base has received notice from the superiors in advance, asking them to obey Dragun's command.

As soon as Dragon came over, he ordered them to transport some of the less important materials to the open space to the east of the town, and pile up a "fake warehouse".

Not long after they began to deploy positions, the navy sent bad news.

The empire's expeditionary fleet encountered the Federal Navy in the northern waters, and fierce battle broke out between the two sides.At almost the same time, the port was also attacked, and an unknown number of naval battle-type synthetic beasts attempted to forcibly land.

After receiving the request for help, the various patrol squadrons rushed to the place where the incident occurred. As a result, the opponent’s plan was to move the tiger away from the mountain. The real landing force of the enemy has sneaked ashore from Shrimp Bay, and is currently heading towards the town of Offi at full speed. Arrived, the troops are estimated to have about one division.

When Dragoon learned, he felt dumbfounded.

What an imitation, it's just copying!

And the most fucking thing is that they, who once laughed at the IQ of the principality army command, are now at the same level.

A deep sense of powerlessness lingered in Dragon's heart.

Chapter 297

At eleven o'clock that evening, the landing EFF vanguard appeared on the outskirts of the town of Orphee, with a strength of about one battalion. It seemed that they did not carry heavy weapons, so they did not rush to attack the town.

On the side of the defending army, the squadron of Orphee Town has built a fake material base in the open space east of the town with sundries and empty boxes in accordance with Dragon's orders.

In order to appear realistic enough, Dragon specifically instructed them that this fake base does not need to be built too neatly, it is messy inside.Try to create a feeling of "have not had time to transfer".

Therefore, when the leading forces of the Federation arrived, they saw a material base with headlights on all night, and there were many engineers and soldiers pretending to be busy.

Without giving them more opportunities to observe, the Independence regiment threw half a cardinal number of cannonballs over their heads in a timely manner, forcing these guys to retreat.

"Head, do you say they will be fooled?"

"It's a lie for a while, but I can't lie! I don't expect too much, just give us a few more hours of preparation time."

At this time, a large number of officers and soldiers are seizing all the time to strengthen their defensive positions around the town of Offi.

After the advance troops of the EFF were forced to retreat by the artillery, they never approached the town of Orphee. The scouts sent by Dragon reported that the enemy had retreated into a col, eight kilometers away from the town, to meet the follow-up troops.

It can be seen that the commander of the Federal Army is a very cautious person and is not eager to do anything.Although this gave the defenders some more preparation time, it also meant that once the battle started, the Union Army would do its best.

This made Dragon very worried that his mixed army would not even be able to sustain the first wave of offensive.

For the independent regiment, Dragon is assured.This is the direct line he brought out, and the troops have also been tested in actual combat.They had rested for more than half a month before, and most of the lightly wounded had recovered and returned to the team, and they were given priority to get replacement soldiers, and their combat effectiveness had been restored.

But the three Tarrans Infantry Regiments are not enough. Together, they have 5,000 people. The number of veterans who have participated in the army and have actual combat experience is less than one tenth. Many rookies even have guns in their hands. Not neat.

Dragon really has no confidence to let them fight alone with the "Three No Forces" who have not experienced systematic training, actual combat, and no heavy weapons. They can only divide their independent regiment into two and let him kiss him. Lead one battalion and three battalions with a Tarrance Infantry Regiment to defend the town of Orphee.The second battalion and the fourth battalion (artillery battalion) and most of the tank battalion took the other two Tarrance infantry regiments to build a position on a high ground south of the town.

The two sides are less than three kilometers apart, and they can be horns of each other, and there is a sympathy for each other.

Although the intricate street pattern of Offee Town is very suitable for street fighting, it cannot deploy too many troops, and tanks cannot be deployed here.

So Dragon planned to wait for the enemy to come over, and then voluntarily gave up a small part of the city to let the infantry in, so that the opponent's artillery could not let go of their hands and feet.

However, this time the opponent is the Federation after all, and the opponent's training and equipment are of world-class level, and it is not inferior to the main force of the empire.Therefore, the next battle is destined to be an arduous battle, and it cannot be as easy as when fighting the Principality Army.

It was the dawn of the night, and snow the size of goose feathers fluttered in the sky again, and a short fifteen minutes of snow showers covered the position with a pure white and unsullied silver suit.

Soldiers squatted in the trenches, or smoked, or curled up and dozed, no one was making noise, and the town of Offi was shrouded in a depressive atmosphere that was characteristic of the pre-war period.

At this time, in the command post in the basement, Dragon was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed.He just went to the front line for a round tour.The scouts outside reported to the command headquarters five minutes ago that the enemy's main force had been touched, and they were now behind a small forest five kilometers east of Offi Town.

This number of attacks by the opponent made Dragon feel particularly familiar. It was their independent group that captured the "walking position" of Orphee Town, and they are now running to the position of the defender.

And if nothing happens, the opponent should attack at sunrise.After a brief snowfall, the sky was cloudless, and the EFF attacked from the east, just facing the rising sun.

Soldiers on the defending side are bound to be affected by the sun to fight against the sun.

Fortunately, Dragoon is at the military supplies warehouse. The 100,000 pairs of sunglasses specially sent by the logistics department to deal with snow blindness have just solved their urgent need.

However, sunglasses can't deal with synthetic beasts after all. The experienced veterans of the front-line troops know that a limited number of war defense guns alone are not enough for the opponent's monsters, so they have prepared many cluster grenades and explosive packs.

The way of dealing with synthetic beasts is actually similar to dealing with tanks. You have to wait until the opponent crosses the trench and place explosives in its abdomen from below.

However, when the tank passes through the trenches, its tracks will not leave the ground, while the synthetic beasts often jump directly over because of their good jumping ability, preventing the defending soldiers hiding in the trenches from attacking their abdomen. Therefore, this They need to be more "active".

As expected by Dragon, the EFF actually launched an attack at sunrise, and the timing was not bad, just when the first ray of sunlight entered the town of Orphee.This made Dragon in a trance, as if he saw the front of the attacking enemy, a melee old mage riding a white horse was leading the charge.

The EFF plunged into a whole regiment in the first round, with a heavy synthetic beast at the head.Many soldiers who didn't know much about the Union Army before were surprised to find that the infantry who charged with the heavy synthetic beasts on the opposite side were tall and strong beyond imagination.All of them are empty but not human-like. They are all over two meters tall, and their arms are thicker than the waist of a normal person.

Some of these "giant" soldiers ran behind the synthetic beast, and some simply rode on the synthetic beast, just like devil knights in myths and legends.

Dragon knew that those giants were actually a special biological alchemy weapon, similar to synthetic beasts, and the official name of the EFF was "giant suit".He had seen it in some military illustration books related to the Federation before, and this was the first time he had witnessed a real object.

Seeing these monsters rushing up, Dragon decisively ordered the artillery to fire, as much as possible before they rushed to the position, causing enough damage.

The infantry on the front line also clenched the weapons in their hands, preparing to fight a flesh-and-blood battle against "flesh and blood".

Chapter 298 The Art of Explosion

Dragon took a rough count. The Federation Army put into the battle 20 heavy synthetic beasts, more than 50 giant battle suits, and a vast number of infantry.

What surprised him was that the opponent seemed to have seen through his strategy a long time ago, and the offensive troops simply ignored the forged material base, bypassed it without hesitation and headed straight for the town of Orphee.

The artillery battalion deployed on the high ground was suppressed by the Federal Army less than five minutes after it opened fire.Based on the sound of artillery and the density of firepower, Dragon speculated that the opposite should be an artillery regiment equipped with 105mm howitzers.

Both the range and the power are far stronger than the 75 mountain cannons of the independent regiment, so they were suppressed miserably.

Soon, the first heavy synthetic beast rushed through the coverage area of ​​the artillery fire and ran to the defender's position.

Judging from the opponent’s weapon configuration, this is a standard infantry support type synthetic beast, with a double-mounted 20mm rapid-fire turret on its back, and two rows of swaying "" can be seen under the belly, just like the same A giant cow.

When the veterans saw the thing, their expressions suddenly changed, and they hurriedly asked their comrades to put on the gas masks.Synthetic beasts’ stalks are accurately called “poisonous gas spray sacs”, which can emit corrosive poisonous gas and spray strong acid into the trenches beneath them.

The first ones are all similar configurations, and obviously rushed to "clean up" the trenches.

As a result, the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns in the bunker were the first to fire and suppress them. Although they knew that conventional bullets and small-caliber artillery shells caused very limited damage to the synthetic beasts, they had to try their best to attract the opponent's attention.
