Macho Wars

But Howard obviously could not be persuaded by a few words. The old man struggled to sit up from the hospital bed and asked his officers to immediately move the combat maps and communication equipment to the ward. He needed to get in touch with the front line immediately.

In desperation, in order to stabilize Howard’s excitement, all the officers had to do it right away. They soon got all the things Howard asked for in the ward. All kinds of equipment and wires filled the originally spacious luxurious ward. .

After the communicator set up the equipment, Howard immediately talked to the frontline Kane Mountbatten on the phone, asking him how to report on the situation on the northern front and the progress of the Dragoon Second Army Group in the imperial capital.

Kane pondered for a moment, telling the truth without concealing it.

"General, the situation on the northern front is not optimistic, but at least it is still under control. The news of your illness has spread. I am organizing a manpower to suppress it. As for Dragoon... he finished yesterday. Encircled the palace, but the resistance of the defenders was very tenacious and has not yet succeeded."

"I'm not worried about that kid's situation. He and his people have good teeth, and there are no hard bones that can't be bitten. I am more worried about the West..."

On the three fronts, the Five Princes Group on the west is the weakest. They are like the shortest plank of the bucket. No matter how high they are, Howard and Dragon are always easy to break through. The shortcomings are.

Fortunately, not long ago, the five princes accepted Howard's suggestion, gave up most of the chassis at hand, and withdrew to the Pukulu fortress group to defend.As long as they are not annihilated, Firawi's troops in this direction cannot escape.

For this group of people, Howard also deliberately left two corps of 100,000 reserve teams on the first army group on the northern front.Once the enemy forces on the Western Front divide their forces and want to siege the five princes while giving a hand to the imperial capital, Howard can use this sharp knife and chop off the hand they extended.

But what he fears most now is that the fifth prince may not be able to hold it.

On the Western Front at this time, the situation of the Five Princes was not optimistic.Just three days ago in the early morning, a small group of enemy troops touched in from the cliff on the south side of the fortress they neglected to guard, attempting to sneak in the main fortress.

This force with only more than four hundred men was divided into three groups to attack the power station, the fortress fort and the arsenal.The power station was the first to be destroyed. Although the reserve power supply was quickly activated, this brief commotion still gave the opponent a chance.

Then the fortress fortress and arsenal were raided. The four double 305mm fortress guns that the defenders depended on were completely destroyed, and hundreds of artillery were killed and injured.

These black soldiers who infiltrated their fighting methods were very fierce, and they were not afraid of death one by one. In order to completely destroy these fortress cannons, they directly detonated the independent ammunition depot under the turret's bullet well, and then came with the news. The defenders started a fierce battle.

Fortunately, another team of enemy troops who raided the arsenal was successfully blocked. Although the guard platoon guarding the entrance of the ammunition depot only resisted the opponent for less than five minutes, the platoon leader successfully closed it before their army was wiped out. The door and the console was destroyed by a grenade.

The gate of the ammunition depot is 30 centimeters thick and weighs 12 tons. It is also a composite structure of cement lead layer and steel plate.Therefore, after destroying the guard platoon, the enemy found that the gate had been completely dropped and the console had been damaged and could not be used.

This army of more than 400 people was finally wiped out. The defenders paid the price of nearly 2,000 casualties before and after, but failed to catch even one of them.Because once these soldiers find that they have escaped hopelessly, they will slam the last grenade on their bodies and throw themselves back toward the defenders and die.

The garrison can only confirm through a part of the dead bodies that these soldiers are from a minority ethnic group, and they should be from the Moi ethnic group in the southern mountains.

In terms of results, this operation of the 54th Division Gaoshan Battalion ended in failure. They failed to achieve their most important goal-to detonate the fortress arsenal.But the other secondary goals have been achieved, and the morale of the defending troops has been hit hard, and the fifth prince himself has been scared to death.

Prior to this, the defenders thought that the south of the fortress was a natural danger, a vertical cliff of 217 meters high, and Firavi’s army had not yet deployed a large-scale plane, and it was impossible to sneak up from this place.

It turned out that there was a big problem in the most assured position before.

In addition, the combat effectiveness of this Moi army is indeed impressive, its technical and tactical level is extremely strong, and it is completely not afraid of death in battle.

In the next two days, the defenders strengthened their defensive forces in the south, sent people to set up guard posts near the cliff, and erected barbed wire and minefields.However, the enemy did not launch an attack from this place afterwards, but the frontal offensive was strengthened a lot.

Because the fortress lost more than half of its fixed turrets, its ability to provide fire support to the outer sub-forts was greatly weakened, and the enemy also deployed more than a dozen aircraft to carry out air strikes against them.

These planes are the only stock of Firavi’s hands. The Western Army knew that they were not yet capable of confronting the Eastern Army’s mature air force, so they transferred these baby bumps from the front line early and properly protected them as seeds. stand up.

Later, it was discovered that the Five Princes Group on the Western Front had no planes. Howard had only used transport planes to transport them some military supplies, so he transferred these air forces to the Western Front Crusade Army, so that they could find confidence from their best opponents.

After these planes were in place, they were immediately put into battle, and a very special weapon was transported with the air force.

Chapter 569

The so-called military technology is actually an explosive art in many cases!

The above sentence comes from the personal collection of famous quotations by the university scholar Stallone. Although his old man has been in ancient times, the development of military technology in the empire has been continuing the line he laid down 40 years ago.

However, due to the relatively backward research and development conditions of the empire at that time, the university graduates recorded many "concepts" that they had no time to complete, and prepared to save them later or give them to their students to complete.

These unfinished technologies have a unified name in the high-end scientific research institutions of the empire, that is, "black technology."The name is also derived from the guts of the university scholar himself, but it is indeed just right to use here.

After the death of the university, most of the black technology was handed over to the Central Academy of Science and Technology in the Imperial Capital to be responsible for research and development. However, there were also some projects that were placed in secret research institutions that were inaccessible because of the special experimental conditions.

After the imperial civil war broke out, the central government gave priority to the transfer of high-level talents such as the Academy of Science and Technology and the Military Academy. However, most of the research institutes outside were too late to transfer, and many of them have fallen into the hands of the Filavi Group along with their research results.

Among the results of these studies, there is a very special military technology that has attracted the attention of Firavi himself.According to the director of the research institute, they successfully completed a black technology proposed by the university scholar himself and created a super bomb.

Compared with traditional weapons, this bomb has amazing power. It can create a "death field" within its power coverage, and it has the ability to ignore various fortifications. Even the more confined space, the more effective it is to kill. .

Regarding the description of the director, Firavi was skeptical at first. He was also a person who fought many battles, so he somewhat did not believe that there would be such a magical weapon in the world.

So he personally went to the testing ground of this research institute to observe the live ammunition test on the spot, and the power it showed made all the soldiers present almost shocked their jaws.

"God, this big baby is too cool!"

At a glance, Filavi fell in love with this powerful super bomb and asked the institute to start production immediately. This weapon might end this senseless war.

But the director immediately said with some helplessness that this new type of bomb has just completed its preliminary development, and if it wants to be put into production, a series of tests have to be carried out.

And compared to conventional bombs, the new bomb is a fuel bomb. It is indeed much stronger than conventional bombs, but it is also very large.At present, it is not possible to make it into the form of a cannonball for long-range strikes, and if you want to maximize its effectiveness, it is best to use airdrops and airblasts, which invisibly imposes some restrictions on the use.

It was changed a few years ago. The best delivery platform for this weapon is undoubtedly an airship with superior load capacity. However, the speed of the airship is too slow, and it has been in existence for decades. Very mature, using this thing to attack a fortress group with a complete air defense firepower network, and it is feasible to flirt on the periphery, and rushing to run on top of the head and shit is tantamount to giving it in vain.

Fortunately, Filavi still has some better platforms at hand, and that is, before the start of the civil war, the aircraft that had been received by the southeast and northwest military regions, of all types, totaled 37 aircraft. many.

These planes and their pilots are Filavy's baby bumps, have been carefully protected, and now got the super bomb, Filavy suddenly had a very genius and bold idea in his opinion.

So he ordered the director to find a way to reduce the size of the bomb. A smaller size is acceptable, as long as it can be hung on those planes.Start production in small batches as soon as possible, so that he can use his fifth brother as a test subject.

With the full support of Firavi, the research institute spent three months and finally worked overtime to make five 900kg-class aviation bombs, which just happened to be mounted on the abdomen of the Feiyan II fighter. It is the fighter with the fastest flight speed and the largest payload currently owned by the Western Army.

This made Filavi a little regretful. If the civil war hadn't started too early, their military districts could have received another batch of dive bombers and transport planes.

Soon after the completion of the five bombs, the counter-offensive of the Eastern Empire began. Dragoon, using an integrated air-ground offensive, was like a hunk with two watermelon knives, slashing all the way from the southeast coast to the capital city without blinking his eyes.

Some senior staff members who knew about the existence of super bombs all said, hoping to use this powerful bomb to contain Dragoon's extremely fast offensive.But Firavi considered the overwhelming air force in Dragon's hand, and did not agree to this proposal, but sent the plane and bombs to the west.

Soon after the planes and bombs were in place, the fierce offensive and defensive battles under the imperial capital had become fierce, but the palace was still in the hands of Firavi, and it was expected to last for a while.

Along with the plane bomb, it was sent to the crusade army on the western front. There was also a secret letter written by Firavi himself to the supreme commander. There was only a proverb once said by a university scholar... Kill a chicken and show it to the monkey. Look!

After learning about the power of the super bomb and how to use it, the commander immediately ordered a new offensive. The air force was dispatched collectively, and five Feiyan II mounted super bombs were mixed in the flying formation.Four of the target peripheral sub-forts were used to open the gap in the defense line, and the last one was the main fortress of the fortress, giving the five princes a surprise.

Soon after the new round of offensive began, the defenders immediately noticed the approaching targets in the air.When the fifth prince learned that the enemy had used the plane, he couldn't help but feel nervous.He knew the power of this weapon, and he had seen it with his own eyes when the ghost followed Firavi to the imperial capital for armed mourning.

Later, he agreed to form an alliance with the Eastern Empire and asked Howard to ask for this weapon, but the two sides were too far apart. With the range of fighter jets, the airport with no foothold in the middle could not fly through. Only the transport aircraft with a larger range could barely come over. Some supplies were delivered to him, but none of the fighter jets were given.

It's better now. Firavi couldn't beat the air force in the east, so he was looking for the old five who did not have an air force in the west, which made him feel very uncomfortable as a brother.

Chapter 570

On the northern front, the offensive of the First Army Group of the Eastern Empire began to slow down unknowingly, and the front-line troops entered a state of confrontation.

The large-scale battles in the past few days have caused huge casualties of more than 300,000 people on both sides.Especially the Western Army, which lacks an air force, is really struggling with human lives. Every round of large-scale bombing can bring blood and blood to the ground, but Kharov is also an expert in defense warfare. He resisted.

For the sake of this battle, even commanders who only look at numbers can hardly stay unmoved. Soldiers on the front line feel that they are in a terrifying hell. The living are in a state of anxiety, and it is difficult for the dead. peaceful.
