Macho Wars

With his handsome appearance, capable military temperament and sturdy record, the empire's armored forces even plan to use him as a model for this year's conscription poster.

of course!The premise is that he can come back alive.

Like most countries in the world, the imperial propaganda department also adheres to the unspoken rule of "reporting the good but not the sorrow". The newspapers are full of flowers and the empire's army is winning one victory after another in the Far East.

The statistics department racked their brains to make a fuss about the number of casualties between ourselves and the enemy, and tried their best to modify the exchange ratio.

For example, when calculating one's own casualties, the Tarrans soldiers are not considered humans, and the enemy forces have to pull all the participating countries together to create an atmosphere where the imperial army singles out the allied forces of the Eleven Far East.

Fortunately, the ethics of these guys is a little bit stronger than that of the U.S. military on the other side of the earth. They did not make a fuss about the definition of "war casualties". Otherwise, many soldiers might lose their lives, but they would not even be "dead in battle." Count.

The Central Military Headquarters of the Imperial Army, Admiral Howard Barano, who had just rushed back to the imperial capital from the Northwest Military Region, was carefully reading the report from the Far East.

As the war in the Far East was at a deadlock and the Empire did not want to continue to invest more troops in the Far East, the emperor called him back to the military headquarters.

In this world, there are only a handful of people who can fully trust Sidney XIV, but Howard is one.

It took three hours. Howard read all the battle reports, then took off his glasses, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest, thinking quickly in his mind.

Throughout the war in the Far East, the fourth division's aggressive advance and besieged can be said to be an important turning point, and the Imperial Army began to turn passive.For this, the death of the commander of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division is not a pity!

Now in Tarrance, the imperial army plus the Tarrance Salvation Army has a total force of nearly 400,000. Almost all young men who can handle rifles in Tarrance's recovery area have joined the army.

Although these Tarances are courageous and fearless in battle, their equipment and quality are at the level of the third-line garrison of the Empire and can only serve as cannon fodder.The frontal battlefield has to rely on the divisions of the empire to resist.

After reading the battle report, Howard thought it was best to use Tarrance's army to replace the Empire's army from the southwest front.The opponents in this direction are mainly the coalition forces of the small countries in the Far East. Although they are quite large in number and there are suspected of being commanded by people from the East Qin, the quality of the soldiers of these small countries is not much different from that of the Tarance Army.

As long as one or two divisions can be replaced, the expeditionary force can free up one hand for offensive purposes.First, cooperate with the 95th Division to defeat the half-crippled Federal Division in the east, reduce the three fronts to two, and then concentrate the superior forces to fight against the multinational coalition forces.

With four imperial divisions, plus about 200,000 Tarrans troops, such a force is enough to sweep the so-called coalition forces that temporarily teamed up.

However, this plan is based on ideal conditions after all. A very important prerequisite is that the Federation will not increase troops to the Tarrance area, and this is precisely beyond their control.

Howard thought for a while, and felt that even if no more troops were sent to the Far East, the local side should make some actions in a timely manner to contain the limited forces of the EFF.

Regardless of the fact that the Creek Federation has been the empire’s number one enemy for nearly a hundred years, but limited by its relatively harsh living environment, the Federation’s population growth has been very slow, with a population of more than 16 million. The army is just over 200,000 in total.

Of the seven standing divisions of the Army, three are now fighting in Tarrance, and the remaining four are also defending the mainland.If the reserve is not mobilized, then the Federation really has no soldiers available.

Adjusting the deployment, and then destroying them one by one, Howard estimates that this series of military operations will take three weeks, or one and a half months, if the series of military operations are completed based on his years of experience.

The key to the success or failure of the entire operation depends on whether the Rainbow River line in the north can be held.

In case the battle on this side is halfway through, the Rainbow River is suddenly breached, and the two commanders of the Federal Army's two divisions will drive straight in. By then, most of the recovery area will have to vomit again.

The thought that the main force guarding the northern front was the Seventh Armored Division of the Southeast Military Region, Howard's brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

He did not doubt the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Division, and he also admired the military talents of the eldest prince Felavi, but his Highness was obviously more like a politician than a soldier.Put such a person in the most critical position, Howard is hard to rest assured.

After pondering for a moment, Howard finally made a decision, that he himself went to the Far East to sit down and help Henry, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, to control Firavi.

Chapter 316: Turning Point

The defense of the fortress lasted until the sixth day, and the Independence Regiment had repelled 17 enemy attacks before and after.

In addition to the first two trials, the EFF deployed a new type of synthetic beast that has never been seen before in the next battle.And the first time this new type of synthetic beast appeared on the scene, it almost caused a big trouble to Dragon and the others.

At that time, the Union Army used mortars to fire a large number of smoke bombs in front of the fortress, and then sent people to charge as if it were normal.But in this group of offensive troops, some strange-looking guys were mixed in.

The appearance of this new type of synthetic beast is similar to that of a general heavy synthetic beast, but it moves at a slower speed and has heavy armor on the front, which is sufficient to resist direct fire from 57mm war-proof guns.

At first, the defenders thought that these slow synthetic beasts were the "meat shield" units of the Federal Army, but when these guys approached, they suddenly saw a long and thick "meat tube" from deep under the abdomen, facing the fortress. A scorching yellowish-brown liquid sprayed from the wall.

After the liquid touches the wall, the original solid cement is corroded as soft as bean curd residue, and at the same time it emits pungent and toxic gas.

Unprepared, the bunker that came out of the fortress was "melted", and a heavy machine gun squad inside was wiped out.

Fortunately, the acid reserves in these special synthetic animals did not seem to be sufficient. After urinating for less than three minutes, they shivered and stopped, and then retracted the inaccessible tube in the lower body.

The special synthetic beast entered the battle for the first time, destroying a large area of ​​the city wall with only four, leaving traces of corrosion over half a meter in depth.If they were allowed to come again three or five times, the fortress wall might collapse.

In order to prevent these uncivilized synthetic beasts from running under the roots of their own walls to urinate and urinate anywhere, Dragun sent engineering troops overnight to repair the corroded walls, and arranged many blasting points on the periphery.

With the hard work of the entire regiment, these special synthetic beasts have been eliminated one after another, and the Federal Army has also continuously changed its strategy and used many unconventional tactics, but they were all resolved by Dragoon.

The poorest were the soldiers of the Sapphire Principality who were used as cannon fodder. They were the most injured in every attack, and they had to pay hundreds of casualties.

The fighting over the past few days has also exhausted the officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment.The grassroots officers and soldiers are a little better. Several battalions fought alternately, and at least they could take turns to rest, but Dragon, as the commander and the backbone of the whole regiment, was often irreplaceable.

The complete fragmentation of sleep time has prevented Dragoon from getting enough rest in the past few days.

On this day, Dragun called several battalion commanders in the regiment to have a meeting with the heads of various departments.When it was the quartermaster's turn to speak, the other party stood up and looked around, then said with a wry smile.

"Everyone, I have a bad news and a good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Let's talk about the bad first."

"The bad news is that our logistics has a little problem. The vegetables and fruits have been eaten. Next we can only eat'feed (combat ration)'."

"What about the good news?"

"Enough feed tube."

"..." xN

The quartermaster sat down after speaking, but his joke made everyone on the scene unable to laugh.

These veteran military officers who have experienced battle know well the importance of food. If the soldiers do not eat well, it will greatly affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops.

But the munitions department is also unable to do so. Tarrance is currently shrouded in the shadow of the food crisis, and they can no longer obtain fresh vegetables and meat from the local area.The supplies sent from the mainland are mainly various cans and compressed military rations, and a limited amount of fresh melons and fruits are specially supplied to noble officers and hospitals.

Faced with such logistical problems, Dragon was helpless for a while. After all, he was not a god, and it was impossible to use magic to transform Chinese cabbage from the frozen soil.

So he cast his gaze to the side of Qifu, who immediately nodded with comprehension.

"Leave it to me, sir."

Less than two months after the noncommissioned officer reform, the independent regiment has already felt the benefits of the new system.

The team of non-commissioned officers headed by Chief Sergeant Chiff played a good role in grassroots management, liberating officers from various daily management chores. At the same time, these grassroots backbones also performed functions similar to "political commissars."

After the meeting, Dragon leaned back in his chair tiredly and closed his eyes, leaving only Adjutant Tafe to the side.The demon warrior's excellent physique made her always the most energetic person in the whole group. In Dragoon's impression, she has never seen a moment of relaxation.

It's a pity that Tafe lacks commanding ability. Her rigor and seriousness make her a very capable assistant, but it is difficult for her to be a commander alone.

In contrast, Jack, who is already the second battalion commander, has much better talent in this respect than her.

At this time, the alarm bell suddenly rang in the fortress, and Dragon knew without opening his eyes that this was the beginning of the enemy's eighteenth attack.Those guys have been attacking very frequently in the past two days. They seem to be preparing for fatigue tactics. With their absolute superiority in strength, they will survive the fortress defenders alive.
