Macho Wars

"Lee, I know you and your people are very tired, but I need your strength now. Aifeilan’s negotiations are on the verge of breaking down, and the other side has put forward very excessive conditions. The truce is expected to last for about a week. The most embarrassing issue for us right now is the Fourth Division. They are like hostages in the opponent's hands, making us very passive."

"General, do you want my troops to reinforce the northern front? But there are only a thousand people left in my regiment to continue fighting."

"I know this, so I'm also thinking of ways to collect some supplementary soldiers for you."

Although the troops led by Dragon blocked the enemy's offensive with weak versus strong in the battle of Orphee Town, they also paid a heavy price for it.

Before the departure, the independent group had more than 2,500 people, and currently there are only 1,000 left. This also includes those lightly wounded who insist on not getting below the line of fire.Tarrance's three regiments were even worse. There were less than 2,000 people left. The officers often took the lead in the charge, and the death rate was even more frightening.

But thinking of those brave and fearless Tarrans soldiers, Dragon suddenly had an idea.

"General Levsto, I have an unrelenting request. Can you borrow some additional soldiers from your army?"

"Do you want the remnants of those three regiments? No problem!"

Upon hearing Dragon's request, Levsto immediately understood what he meant, and agreed without saying a word.

Although the Tarrans soldiers of the three regiments were temporarily recruited cannon fodder two weeks ago, they have survived in the blood and fire with the independence regiment for nearly half a month. No longer a rookie.

Dragon hopes to give these people to him, and then match them with Marine Corps equipment.With his senior non-commissioned officers and veterans, the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment can quickly recover to about 70-80% of the peak period.These soldiers will be returned to Levsto when the future battle is over.

When Henry heard that this was indeed a way, and Tarrance did not object, he readily agreed.

So the Tarrans soldiers who withdrew to Nass quickly received notification from their superiors that they were temporarily incorporated into the empire's army.The new regiment leader is Dragon who led them to fight the EFF in the town of Orphee.

In addition, there were a large number of standard equipment used by the Imperial Army that arrived with the order.These things make them an eye-opener!

Before this, many Tarrans soldiers only knew that the big countries were rich and their military equipment was very strong, but there was no intuitive concept of how much better they could be.

They didn't realize that this gap was far beyond their previous imagination until they had actually experienced the equipment level of the first-class imperial army.

In terms of individual soldiers, they are also rifle soldiers. Because of the poverty of the Tarrans army, each soldier can only be issued 30 rounds of rifle ammunition and two wooden hand grenades.Coupled with a bayonet, a simple marching rucksack like a water bottle and a dough bag, it is almost a complete outfit.

The Imperial Army has 80 bullets, four wooden grenade grenades, two egg grenade or smoke grenades.The relatively wealthy soldiers in the family will also bring their own pistols.The foldable marching backpack is not only very comfortable to carry, but also contains many supporting living objects. The soldiers of Tarrance don't even know what some are used for.

As for the firepower configuration, it was so luxurious that they couldn't believe it.Light machine guns are placed in squads and heavy machine guns are placed in platoons. Each company has a mortar team. On average, there is one submachine gun for every five to six people!

As for communications, medical care, and logistical support, the gaps in these areas are so big, let alone.

Many Tarrance officers and soldiers looked at these new guys sent to them, and they couldn't help but have such an idea in their minds.

Poverty limits our imagination!

Chapter 309 Fire Fighting Captain

The work of replenishing troops was successfully completed in only half a day.Nearly two thousand Tarrans soldiers put on the uniforms and equipment of the Imperial Army, and were then broken up to replenish the companies of the Independence Regiment.

In view of the outstanding performance of Dragon and these soldiers in the town of Orphee, Henry had high hopes for it.It is hoped that they will be sent to the northern front as soon as possible to assist Firavi's 7th Armored Division to break through the enemy's defense line as soon as possible, and to take out the remnant of the besieged Fourth Division.

Therefore, the military supplies on Nas's side, any good things are provided to them first, and the guns and ammunition are given to them, and Dragon is not polite with him.

The tank battalion even received six "kobold" self-propelled artillery.This fire support unit was transformed from the Tusk medium tank, with the turret removed and a 105mm howitzer mounted on it.

After a short break for three days in Nass, the troops set off for the northern front.The air brigade also followed, and the engineering unit that arrived first had already built a usable battlefield over there.

On the way to the north, Dragoon and his officers and staff members studied the war in the north.

Some officers didn't understand. Obviously, there is the seventh armored division led by His Royal Highness Firavi in ​​the north. They are the number one troop of the Southeast Military Region, with 18,000 men and more than 300 tanks.

Such a powerful force can't penetrate the defense line of the Federal Army. Was the Independent Group really useful in the past?

But Dragon faintly understood Henry's true purpose in sending them to support the North, and that was to remind His Royal Highness Feravi...Stop fishing!

Indeed!On the surface, the 7th Division made great efforts to rescue the 4th Division, and the frontal violent attack was called a vigorous force.However, every attack is always a little bit short of success.

Dragon must admit that His Royal Highness and his seventh division played very well, indeed they tried their best, so that others could not fault it.

But in fact, as long as they are willing, the Fourth Division can be rescued in at most forty-eight hours.

As a heavy armored unit, the assault capability of hundreds of tanks cannot be underestimated.The Seventh Division may not be able to completely wipe out the Federal Division on the opposite side, but there is no problem at all with tearing a hole open to meet the Fourth Division's breakthrough.

The reason why Firavi was unwilling to be true is probably because of political considerations.

As the saying goes, "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." With huge empires, the upper-class power societies are also lined up because of their different needs and conflicts.The relationship between these factions is intricate, sometimes united and sometimes opposed. There has never been a fixed friendship, only eternal interests.

On the day the Independence Group arrived on the northern front, Aifeilan’s first negotiation officially broke down.

In these days of truce, the Federation and Sapphire Principality were also not idle, and they secretly adjusted their forces.In order to force the empire to obey at the negotiating table, they focused their main firepower on the Fourth Division.

After Dragun brought the troops to the front line, he did not rush into the battle, but first let the aviation team go out and conduct an all-round investigation of the entire battlefield.

These high up and down fighters quickly helped Dragon figure out the situation ahead.

At present, there are not many remaining soldiers of the Fourth Division, but the good news is that they have finally gathered together, and they are being surrounded by a dozen times as many enemies in a soil city.

On the outskirts of the war zone, Firavi’s 7th Division was trying to attack from the southeast, fighting fiercely with the Federal Army’s blocking forces.

Dragon roughly estimated that the number of enemy troops surrounding the 4th Division is more than 100,000, of which about 40% are the Union Army and about two divisions.One was blocking the 7th Division, and the other was leading the Principality Army to besiege the 4th Division.

With such a big scene and a big battle, if the independence regiment had only three thousand people, Dragon would definitely not dare to rush into the battle.But he has a fighter jet in his hand, so this situation is quite different.

The outstanding performance of the aviation team in the Far East has won a lot of praise for the aircraft.

However, the military's senior officials did not actually clearly realize the full potential of this weapon, but regarded it as an efficient and convenient reconnaissance aircraft.

The arrival of the 95th Division also brought reinforcements from the colony to the air force. There were 16 newest land-based Feiyan fighter jets and more powerful aerial bombs.

Counting the previous carrier-based Haiyan, Dragon currently has 24 fighter jets in his hand, which is a full flying brigade, which gives him plenty of confidence.

So under the command of Dragon, the Independent Regiment quickly went into battle, using the enemy's deployment that was clarified by the previous aerial reconnaissance, and directly pinpointing the weak points of the defense to launch a fierce attack.

The opposing Principality Army's obstruction troops didn't take the Independence Group too seriously at first, but when Dragoon showed the "big baby", these guys couldn't stand it.

The aviation team took the lead in launching an attack. First, it easily passed over the head of the defender, knocked out the artillery on the opposite side with aerial bombs, and then turned to straf and bombed the first-line position to coordinate with the attack of its own ground forces.

Compared with slow airships, although fighters cannot carry heavy firepower and have poor ground output capabilities, they are superior in high-speed penetration capabilities. The enemy has almost no anti-aircraft weapons that can effectively restrain fighters.

Twenty-four fighters were divided into three waves, whizzing past the enemy's positions over and over again, attacking unscrupulously, which formed a kind of unilateral torture, which severely hit the morale of the enemy's ground troops.

The garrison commander soon realized that the situation was not right, and they were encountering a new kind of combined ground-air combat.The artillery troops were the first to be wiped out, and the first-line position was breached in just 20 minutes, and the breach hit the weak point of their defense.

If this momentum continues, their defenses will be penetrated within two hours at most.

The thought of annihilating the Fourth Division of the Imperial Army was a combat command issued by the Sapphire King himself.If the enemy's reinforcements are allowed to open the gap from their defense line and let go of the 4th Division, the consequences will be disastrous!

However, the difference in strength is desperate, and this is not a symmetrical battle.Dragoon, who relied on reconnaissance aircraft to grasp the dynamics of the battlefield in real time, took the initiative to avoid the federal army's line of defense, and specifically picked the Principality Army as a soft persimmon, and it was a smashing blow!

Forced by the independence regiment's offensive, the nearby blocking troops had to divide their troops for reinforcements, and their actions were quickly noticed by Firawi on the other side.
