Chapter 719 Chapter 16.35 Serious “middle-class appearance”, I don’t recognize it
True "Proud of Heaven"
The Second Battle of Swan City was no longer a city, but a series of mobile battles centered on Swan City.
If a year ago, the rebel army was in the cage of Swan City, and the imperial army was the cat outside the cage wanting to stretch out its claws, but now it is the other way around, the rebel army is the hunter outside holding "fire" to smoke,
The Imperial Army is like a howling bear trapped in a cave.
If nothing goes wrong, the imperial army's bear will rush out sooner or later and fall into the trap.
But here comes the problem. When Iron Star was fighting the "big bear" of the Imperial Army, the "tiger" of the Anglo-Intervention Army appeared behind it.
When ordinary commanders see this situation, they will feel pessimistic about the front and rear flanking attacks, but Enma breathed a sigh of relief at the huge space between the two areas and said: "There is a lot to be done."
In the face of simultaneous internal and external interference, Enma adopted "divided steps". Enma: dealt with the Anglo external intervention forces and the imperial forces separately.
…The perspective goes to the north, near Nobing Port, the area where the Anglos landed…
The frontline assault company continuously bombarded and tested the Lance Group, and found that the Anglian Corps was trapped like a tortoise in hibernation.
The Iron Star General Headquarters has made strategic adjustments to this.
Enma looked at the battle results in the newspaper and evaluated the results of his side's effort to block the Anglo interventionist forces: it was better than expected.
Enma took the battle report and told other members of the staff: Judging from the current situation of the Anglos using troops, they will not take risks unless they feel that it is safe enough, like "a knight facing a peasant with a bamboo pole".
But in this case, they (Lance Group) will waste a lot of strategic time. We don't need to wait with them.
Enma's mobile warfare theory: "Harassment buys time" must be used rationally to expand the time difference of certain strategic mobilizations.
It's like playing chess. One move delays the opponent's three moves. The extra two moves must be carefully considered and utilized.
Of course, playing chess is by no means just moving one chess piece, and the battle situation cannot be expected to be determined by one move.
For example, after the Anglo reinforcements are raided at a wave of ports, if you think that the opponent is not ready and pursue them fiercely, the enemy may counterattack at this point.
Anglo's naval guns in the area are powerful, but they did not have a firm foothold in the early days. Now they must have deployed defenses.
Wei Keng: I will make this mistake in my childhood. Once the sneak attack is successful, I will catch the "sneak attack" and continue, treating the opponent as a robot.
... Enma: We can't attack now, but we might as well think about it, where will the enemy definitely attack us now?...
Enma drew a circle between the railway lines of Mirsu City and six other cities in the north. He proposed that strategic mobility must be maintained here.
With the mobilization of Enma, the chimneys of these northern cities began to produce industrial products for "blocking war", and expanded their own railway mobilization capabilities, converting some trains into armored trains to ensure strategic mobilization.
In addition, the 400,000-strong peasant-soldier railway patrol team in rural areas began to carry out some related construction along the railway, creating the illusion that Iron Star's northern main force was still confronting the Anglos in the north.
While Enma was doing these things, the Anglians had not yet recovered from the bombardment of the front-line artillery. They relied on their strong military equipment and were too slow in strategic preparations.
In terms of overall strategy, Iron Star never expects to achieve victory all at once. Strategic victory must be accumulated at every step.
Many step strategies may seem "idle" now, but they are useful as long as they effectively consume the opponent's strategic resources.
For example, now that the Anglo mercenaries are being bombarded for no apparent reason, they will be careful and deploy defenses. At the same time, the warships in the port will also maintain support status.
This is no problem tactically, and is even in the standard textbook state of the Anglo-Military Academy.
But strategically! His troops are now "wearing armor" and are slowly deploying gunboats to block the channel. Especially this fleet is resting in the northern port, blocking the Anglo logistics ships from entering the port to unload cargo.
This will cause the Anglians to be slow in the subsequent supply of supplies. They will lose their strategic mobility and will not be able to rush to the aid of other troops.
The Iron Star command now determines that the probability of the Anglos going south is very small. Even if the Anglos go south partially, Iron Star's intelligence personnel staying at Nobing Port will send out intelligence, giving Iron Star three to four days' lead time.
The General Staff determined that the Anglo intervention army could be "placed" in advance and the imperial army should be eliminated first to the south.
Enma: Try to annihilate an imperial army within these two months to undermine the imperial army's subjective determination to fight. Prevent it from becoming a key bargaining chip in the battle at some point in the "future".
...The "foolishness" of the conservative forces in the final period cannot be changed even by God...
On September 5, Enma ordered the troops on the Swan City front to fully shrink. This shrinkage was done to show the Imperial Army. It was a retreat full of "seduce".
Enma: "The Imperial Army should also have received the news at this time that the Anglo mercenaries have arrived on the northern coastline, so at this time we are shrinking, and some of them are very excited. I predict that there is a high possibility that some of the Imperial Army
There will be military adventures at home, because the imperial commanders are inherently arrogant towards the iron stars coming out of the countryside, and are impatient to avenge their humiliation.
Iron Star! Take advantage of this period to leave a few troops behind to give the illusion that they are actively mobilizing towards the north. However, we just ignore the Anglos in the north and concentrate all our superior forces to go south to block the Imperial Army's exciters."
After Enma completed the strategic deployment, he began to hand it over to these generals for execution.
After Enma sat at his desk for a while, he looked at the map of his hometown on the wall and decided to deal with some personal matters.
Enma called up the combat situation on the front line and opened Orr's battle report. Orr was Enma's nephew in this world. The two sides were related by blood.
Wei Keng has always understood that "blood relationship" in this world means that there will be "mysterious information" connections.
The information retrieved by the supervisor reminded Wei Keng: "When you come to this world this time, you have been imbued with extremely large-scale conceptual information. This part of the conceptual information will follow the "channels" that are similar to you (Enma) and affect the world.
Among people who are close to you, the bloodline originating from you has been formed."
The meaning is: Wei Keng is similar to a god in terms of creation concept. A superior godhead is waiting for integration at any time. Wei Keng himself is already much more powerful than the concept of "hero and king" in the mortal world. And the concept of hero king can all be followed.
Bloodline allows future generations to awaken their talents. Wei Keng’s information concept has undoubtedly affected relatives in this world.
Among Enma's relatives, those who are old and have lost their growth and future will not have conceptual influence in this life. However, as Enma's nephew, his thinking consciousness was unknowingly poured into Wei Keng.
This infusion effect is similar to the "implantation experience" of Golden Finger in the main world, and is more subtle.
Orr, who is now jumping around on the front line and is an expert in artillery, doesn't even know that some of the ideas in his mind come from his uncle.
Wei Keng muttered to the supervisory system: "What does it feel like for the person involved (Orr) to have this kind of injection?"
The system has been opened and Enma is in the quantum universe with a personal causal chain.
Bai Linglu appeared on the interface and explained: "This is a feeling of faith. When Orr was a child, he heard that he had a very capable uncle who went to the city and became more and more prosperous.
You brought a lot of good things to the family, so you left an ignorant concept in his heart. When he went out to make a living, every time he followed your example and worked hard, his thinking was unknowingly affected by your talents.
And his belief should be high because of your strength."
This is a bloodline model similar to the "Warlock".
Enma paused: "If I am down and pick oyster shells on a boat, his faith will collapse, and then it will be gone, right?" (When relatives are no longer strong, or even in a depressed state, it will make
The children of this family have also become "little philistines")
Bai Linglu: "Yes, it will hit him in the short term, but do you really want to act?"
Wei Keng paused and said, "Will the gods start with him?"
Bai Linglu: "I haven't noticed any signs now, but there is a high probability that I will interfere with you from this aspect in the future, otherwise~" (Bai Linglu suggested using the Great Seal Technique to seal a book that has almost stagnated in time and space outside.
Inside the museum, stay away from this divine war and come out again in tens of thousands of years)
Wei Keng paused and shook his head: "Let them go. There are too many extraordinary powers in this world that affect mortals, but I won't do it. This is inconsistent with the concept I insist on."
Bai Linglu: "Then have you ever thought that one day he will resist you."
Wei Keng: "My concept is that rebellion is justified. Of course, whether his reasons can withstand the test is his business."
...The perspective returns to the sky empire, iron star and imperial front, where the sickle and the bayonet are rubbing against each other...
As Enma expected, the imperial army's sluggish morale and high-pressure and contradictory situation made the imperial generals unable to withstand "excitement."
In Baisong Ridge, in the base area, the war on the south side of Swan City was very intense.
In the past month, Iron Star has adhered to the principle of enemy advancing and we retreat, using vehicle-mounted 120mm mortars to bombard the Imperial Army's military columns and supply convoys at any time of the day or night.
Instead, the Imperial Army used light firepower and seventy-millimeter field guns in this area, because the rest of the heavy firepower could not be mobilized at all, and it was impossible for the Empire's airship to float around just to fight a few small cars, not to mention that the airship was so big.
The target of the Peasants, Workers and Army will not be touched at all.
The morale of the Minlar Corps, which has been recuperating in the past few months, has fallen into a very impetuous state. He once promised the regent that he would completely wipe out the chaos in the area throughout September, and celebrate before the Holy Day of Prayer.
victory.
But now it's not that they don't work hard, it's that the rebels are too cunning and shameless.
In Minlar's plan, not counting his own elite armored forces, the Haze Legion, which was drawn from the southern front line, also had several times the conventional firepower of the rebels, but this kind of artillery bombardment did not happen at all.
And what's even more terrible is that when he searched the wilderness with 20,000 troops, he encountered empty areas and all the warehouses were empty.
Note: Petrochemical technology is a good thing. It allows the moisture of substances to be precipitated and formed into a calcite shell with silicon-based molecules. Under the organization of the Iron Star Agricultural Youth Association, food was scattered and buried on the hillside during the evacuation. It was difficult for the Imperial Army to find it when searching. At the same time, the food was
It can also be stored for a longer period of time.
In the second Battle of Swan City, Minlar's troops did not have a single serious battle with Iron Star. The occasional encounters were with less than 200 people. Conventional artillery was hauled by steam engines and carried repeatedly on the road.
, causing a large number of heavy artillery wheel failures and making the mechanics miserable overtime.
For the captains of the Imperial Army, when performing search missions, if the troops are dispersed, supplies must also be dispersed. Once dispersed, supplies are frequently cut off.
More than once, there were idiots under Minlar's command who fell into the trap of the Iron Star villain.
For example, an idiot from the Imperial Army broke away from the main force and took some fuel supplies with him. As a result, he was hit by more than ten rapid-fire rounds of mortars and suppressed by rapid-fire machine guns just after leaving the team. Not to mention the heavy damage, he actually lost all his belongings and fled in despair.
came back.
The failure of losing the "train" alone has been reported five times in Minlar within a month since the war began.
This rebel spread news in Swan City, and the Nongqing newspaper wrote an article praising "Minlar's high moral integrity." If there are pictures and the truth, photos of the imperial supplies seized will be attached.
Tie Xing's article said that he was a "transportation captain", "a founding comrade lurking in the depths of the empire", and a "curve revolution". These rumors even spread in the imperial capital.
Minlar, whose ancestor was an imperial marshal and graduated from the Imperial Royal Combat Academy, felt extremely aggrieved while holding these black-and-white photos in newspapers.
The metal tables in the core flagship tank were punched hard by him, causing dents and cracks in the steel. (With the blessing of the concept field, his fists can press the metal.)
In this contest between generals, Enma's existence is a mockery of the imperial generals.
Minlar looked at the large pink pan-guerrilla zone outside Swan City. Behind the tightly pursed lips were tightly gritted teeth.
As for Iron Star's commander ability, Minlar didn't want to admit it.
What is his origin? The empire's marshal family (four generations and three princes). There are several theories about Enma's origin.
Rumor 1: A rag-tag guy who was born in the lower class of the city.
Rumor 2: He is the illegitimate son of a dead factory owner (Ma Jack)
Rumor 3: A lucky boy from the countryside
Anyway, behind every legend, the identity of Enma's origin is not acceptable to Minlar, and he is not even qualified to be his servant. But this guy who has never attended a regular imperial military academy class is now always
Do not accept his military force sanctions.
So much so that when the empire's gossip newspapers talked about it, they no longer respected the blood of the empire's famous generals.
…
Of course, there was another reason that made him so agitated, and that was the arrival of Anglo reinforcements. This was not only to help suppress the rebellion, but also to take away the princess whom he had always admired.
This was the decision of the Regent and the Imperial Council. Naturally, he could not express his annoyance, so he could only pour all his ill feelings into the 'hillbilly' rebels.
Today, while he was drinking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
He originally wanted to scold the guy who disturbed his rest at this time, but when he realized that it was an intelligence officer, he suppressed his emotions, straightened his clothes and said: Let him in.
Five minutes later, when the intelligence officer introduced a directory, Minral immediately took the information and read it quickly by himself.
After reading the general outline, he muttered: "The thieves want to evacuate! Uh (he burped)"
The intelligence officer on the side said: "Yes, sir, the Anglos have landed on the northern front and have exchanged fire with the peasant rebels. Now Enma is deploying troops and generals to try to block the landing of the Anglos at this strategic entrance.
.”
Minlar hammered his left palm with his right fist and agreed: "That's it, so they want to escape!" Then he stared at the map with burning eyes, muttering to himself, with a fierce look in his eyes: "But, I
How could I let you escape!"
The general muttered to himself: "I should be the one to wipe out the imperial rebels. The Angles, hey, they were at war with the empire two years ago, and now they come to help the empire? What good intentions do they have!"
Minlar has fallen into his own subjective assumptions.
If it was the ancient times and such a major historical moment was involved, the gods would surely send an oracle to intervene in this war, or they would have the priests directly convey the message to the empire to prevent the general from delivering it.
But now, when Wei Keng and the gods started "quantum interference calculations" with each other, in order not to expose their high-dimensional nodes, the gods would not interfere with key figures in such a major military battle.
This rule is currently very strong, and the gods even hope that Wei Keng will take the initiative to break it.
But Wei Keng did not go beyond anything in this regard. As a mortal, he did not have the "extraordinary" ability to suppress his opponent's choices.
…God is actually also a top team player…
At the moment, Minlar is about to fall into a pit. In a purely mortal-level strategic confrontation, his sanity is affected by his own inherent flaws.
If the gods are now, if "cheating" forces him to wake up, let him lose his arrogance and realize the cruelty of war.
So what about the efforts of the millions of people on the Agricultural Youth League side? Modern gods would not be willing to provoke this "karma", the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low.
You must know that in the great tide caused by Wei Keng, mortals are currently thinking along the concept of the new gods. If Minlar is changed abruptly, it will severely damage their (new gods) concept of belief in the thinking of the general public.
This is equivalent to gods eating shit, and a group of gods eating shit together.
Minlar got on his own chariot, bringing with him fifteen "heavy infantry" (300-ton double-mounted 240 mm caliber), three "heavy knight-level" chariots, and two energy destroyers
(Four hundred tons, the main weapons are four 70mm caliber rapid-fire cannons and energy emitters), and four anti-aircraft helicopters, (one hundred and twenty tons level, steam jet power)
The elite troops of one of the six main forces in the empire's central bandit suppression area suddenly moved northward, which aroused the sensitivity of other friendly forces in the empire.
One hundred and forty kilometers away.
General Henry (level 7 hero unit), after confirming that he and the young man (Minral) who would assist him in encircling and suppressing the rebels around Swan City, suddenly headed north. He immediately felt that the information was wrong.
But after he got the telegram sent by Minlal himself, the bearded army chief was furious.
General Henry took the command knife, picked up the map on the side, put it on his desk and unfolded it. He looked at Minlar's march route and cursed in a low voice: "Do you think this can change the ending?"
Obviously, Henry's focus was not on Minlar's military adventure, and he was not worried about Minlar's entire army being annihilated.
During these months of war, Henry was also very disgusted with the harassment and warfare of this peasant and industrial army.
But it was only disgust, and the disgust was still tinged with contempt and arrogance. In his eyes, even if Enma, a revolutionary party from the countryside, had the status of a hero, he was still a pariah, unable to stand on the stage, and did not dare to confront the imperial army head-on.
.
What Henry cares about: Minlar is pursuing something that cannot be pursued. That is Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The entire imperial aristocratic circle knows that Minlar and Her Royal Highness the Princess are peers, and that Minral has feelings for the princess that go beyond friendship. But now the princess wants to marry an Anglo prince, which is an established fact in the empire.
Although the entire upper class circle did not say it, they were already on guard.
At this time, Minlar went north to pursue the rebels, but it was difficult not to make the empire suspicious.
Henry: "Assemble the steam helicopter for me. I'll go after him."
Henry, a level 7 hero, kept the army where they were and chased to the front line. At this time, he thought that he was a very mature choice, but it would become something that he would regret for the rest of his life.
Where does war come from so much charm? People with good backgrounds are no longer the protagonists of their fate.
