Chapter four hundred and fortieth pre-war preparations
In the first stage of the battle, the three Route Army of the Qinghe Kingdom, the left Route Army advanced westward, the right Route Army advanced eastward, and the middle Route Army advanced forward.
Although there are countless monsters everywhere in front, the Wolf Totem Legion and the Knight Legion also advance at a speed of more than ten kilometers per day.
Therefore, during this period, the Wolf Totem Legion and the Knight Legion pushed forward for two hundred kilometers like a sharp sword unsheathed.
At this time, in the second stage, other legions had just advanced northward, and the Central Army and the 200 kilometers deep into the grassland, which was a totally prominent target, attracting the attention of the tribe leaders among the monsters and the dragon beasts in various regions.
Of course, when making plans, Qinghe Kingdom also used the Central Army as a bait to see how many monsters this outstanding battle can attract.
But what surprised Di Feng was that the combat plan of the Qinghe Kingdom was not problematic, and the problem was the estimate of the number of monster groups on the grassland.
Di Feng and the senior executives of the Qinghe Kingdom thought that they had estimated the number of monsters as much as possible at the maximum possible rate. But they never thought that in just two or three years of hard work, there was already an unexpected number of monsters on this grassland.
Di Feng was sure that the two million monster legions gathered at this time were not the main force of the monster legions. It was just that the troops gathered in these areas recently.
The real main force of these monsters will be in the orc territory further north, in that area, and were sooner occupied by the monster army, so there is more time to develop and will hoard more monsters.
"In other words, it's just right to start the war now." Looking at so many monsters, Di Feng felt that he had to go to the front line in person. As a dark gold-level powerhouse, perhaps it was the last insurance for this battle.
"If these monsters completely defeat the Chiwu Royal Court and the barbarians in one year later, then the Qinghe Kingdom must rely on the defense of the Changyuan Mountains. At that time, there will be a huge attack of monster legions of tens of millions or even more."
"But if two million monster legions are wiped out, the battle for the next period of time will probably become much easier."
This time, Di Feng brought special troops directly under the lord's mansion, roaring bird cavalry regiment, Xunmenglong cavalry battalion, Imperial Guard battalion, Ninja brigade, Direct Warrior brigade and other special forces followed Di Feng.
These directly affiliated troops of the lord's mansion can be said to be all Di Feng's imperial guards, and they are the most elite troops of the Qinghe Kingdom. Even the directly affiliated troops of the field legions are a little short of it.
Di Feng, a dark gold-level strongman, plus these direct troops, as a reserve force, if the front-line legions cannot withstand it, then it will be when Di Feng takes action.
In addition to the mechanized group of more than 70,000 people in the front Wolf Totem Legion and the cavalry group of 30,000 people in the Knight Legion, the subsequent garrison troops were also continuously heading to the front line for support.
Although these garrison troops do not have heavy weapons, light tanks, light off-road armored vehicles, and small-caliber self-propelled artillery are not bad, and there is no problem in assisting field corps in combat.
At this time, according to the mobilization of the General Staff, the garrison troops were arriving quickly, and 50,000 people had arrived at the front line. Other garrison troops were also constantly arriving in regiments.
The garrison tasks in the rear were handed over to the recruited garrison troops. These were originally responsible for guarding tasks in various places. The troops without armored units took over the tasks of the garrison troops and began to garrison the place.
The two million monster legion, even though most of them are ordinary monster goblins, are in numbers, and there are also a large number of elite monster legiones and various fierce dragon beasts, which forced the front legion to deal with them carefully.
In this battle, because there are too many monsters, it is impossible for the Qinghe Kingdom to dye its hair with only tens of thousands of people, to rush straight to the monster legion.
Therefore, this returns to the traditional position defense operations of the Qinghe Kingdom. At this time, the monster legion is only 100 kilometers away from the Wolf Totem legion, and in about five hours, the vanguard of the monsters here will arrive.
Five hours is the time to deploy the position. At the forefront, the three mechanized divisions of Wolf Totem line up and cooperate with the infantry to form a twenty-kilometer defense line.
The entire defense line was lengthened as much as possible to block all monsters. The subsequent 50,000 garrison troops and 30,000 Knights were excavated and the defense line was deployed.
A large number of landmines were deployed in front of the position, and this time it can be said that all the landmines of the entire field legion were buried in front of the position.
Then, the barbed wire was pulled up, and the temporary steel bunker was quickly built. The engineering mage opened it and created a double-layer whistle tower with a one-meter back stone wall.
There is also an air defense machine gun on the top of the double layer. Because of this news, the Monster Legion has flying monsters like the harps, and the front-line troops must also ensure air defense issues.
In addition, the sniper positions, mortar positions, light infantry artillery positions, and heavy artillery positions located behind the front line are arranged in order to ensure fire strikes.
In this war, due to Di Feng's deployment, the rear engineering team had to repair the eight-lane road as the front line troops advance.
Therefore, the source of material resources in the rear was continuously transported to the front line and quickly sent to the hands of every soldier through the baggage regiments of each legion.
Because of the huge number of monsters, each soldier's weapons, ammunition, food and medicine are distributed in double portions. And trench bunkers are built one by one by one, ensuring that even if the extraordinary arrow is lost, the soldiers can be safe.
On a position, soldiers with bronze-level forces were quickly digging the soil with engineer shovels.
With the power of soldiers, and the place is flat, there are no rocks or anything else. In just a moment, a trench of a half-man high was dug, and the projects of multiple soldiers were connected, which was a connected trench.
The excavated soil accumulated in front of it, forming a slope, which was so good that a soldier could lie there.
There was no problem in watching himself setting up the machine gun and placing the ammunition box. At this time, the soldier was busy, and a large truck arrived behind the trenches.
The truck driver shouted to the infantry squad that was digging the trenches.
"Soldiers, your protective steel plates are here, please carry them quickly."
"Okay."
Hearing the sound, the infantry team that was digging and repairing the trenches stopped working and greeted the truck driver. The entire team, led by the squad, began to carry these modular protective steel plates.
All the protective steel plates were transported down, the truck left, and the infantry team continued to build the trenches. The rune steel plates that had just been transported, these soldiers were trained until how to install them.
First, the soldiers found two steel plates with shooting holes from the steel plates and placed them directly in front of the trench. Between the two steel plates, two half-rune rune steel plates were arranged with snaps between the steel plates, and they could become very firm only if they were connected.
Then, two half-piece steel plates were installed on both sides of the two shooting hole steel plates. Behind the trench, opposite the shooting hole steel plates, the two steel plates were erected, and a steel plate was placed horizontally above the two steel plates, and a simple protective bunker was built.
Such steel plates are three meters long and wide, and the steel plate itself is not thick. They rely on alloy strength and reinforced runes to ensure the defense of the steel plate. A weight loss rune is added inside, which reduces the weight of the steel plate by half.
Moreover, there are no ordinary soldiers in the army of Qinghe Kingdom. Two people can easily carry the steel plates of three meters long and wide.
Even if it is built, only four people need to be lifted up. The length of the front line this team is responsible for is thirty meters, and ten steel plates can cover the entire defense line.
Of course, because the number of steel plates is limited, such a team has only two steel-panel bunkers and seven protective steel plates. As for the area without protection, a 90-degree hole was dug, and a steel plate was covered on the ground above the hole, ensuring that there will be no arrows that penetrate the soil and hit the hiding soldiers.
The trenches were dug and the steel plates were built. The team classified the weapons and ammunition sent from above and below, including ammunition boxes, explosives, grenades, and bullets.
There are also magazines filled with bullets, a rocket launcher and ten rockets arranged by the team. Most of the various weapons and ammunition are placed in the trenches.
The other part is made with grain, sausage medicines, and it is used as a reserve in the hole dug out.
While this infantry squad was busy, in front of the trenches, the army directly under the engineer corps and the barbed wire mesh were pulled. The layers of barbed wire mesh were like an obstacle, making the upcoming monster army unable to rush into the position.
In the area in front of the barbed wire, mine positions were also deployed. In the squad, the machine gunners pretended to be machine guns, looked around, looked at the strong and murderous positions in front of them, and sighed.
"With such a defense, these monsters will not be opponents."
At this time, the squadron leader came to the trench under the charge of the infantry squadron with a combat team. Seeing the squadron leader coming, the squadron leader immediately met and asked.
"Squadron Captain, our position has been almost built. Squadron Captain, what instructions do you have this time?"
His eyes swept across the team's position, and the squadron leader nodded with satisfaction.
"Your position is well built and very standard. This time I came to follow the orders of the superiors, and the firepower squadron was directly assigned to each infantry squadron.
This is the machine gun team of the Firepower Squad. Now it is temporarily under your command. You must guard the position."
"Yes." Seeing his team get a machine gun team, it means that his team's firepower has increased, and the subsequent battle is more confident.
"Okay." The squadron leader reached out and patted the captain on the shoulder, encouraging. "Preserve the position well."
"yes."
The squadron leader also has a mission. The squadron fire support team has ten people, divided into a three-person heavy machine gun group, a two-person light machine gun group, a three-person flat-fire gun group, and a sniper group.
The squadron is really good with four combat squadrons, each of which is assigned to a different firepower group.
After the squadron leader left, the squad leader introduced himself to the light machine gun team and said to the machine gunner.
"We have two machine gun bunkers in our position, and you are responsible for fire strikes in that design position."
After arranging this firepower team, the team leader continued to improve the trenches that were almost the same, prepared more grenades, pressed more magazines, and prepared explosive packs in case.
