Chapter 19.20 (Part 1) The righteous become more righteous and the bad become worse
Between March 24 and 28, 3254 in the Fire Emblem Calendar, the Battle of Tuomu Plains broke out.
After Iron Star escaped from Medog, it immediately sent five combat divisions south. In the era of the air force system, these single-turret combat armors were the most suitable new ground weapons for the battle rhythm. The old-fashioned land cruisers were completely out of touch with the battlefield.
In terms of details, Iron Star's three main battle divisions arrived at the attack position first, and the two offensive combat divisions arrived at the battlefield thirty hours late. During the whole process, Iron Star's air power has always maintained "information"
"Suppression advantage" means that all information dissemination in the airspace is controlled by our own side.
Since then, Iron Star has determined a new combat organization for this century-old era.
There are three major categories of ground "division"-level units:
1. Offensive Combat Division: It is still the original land cruiser. The lightest weight is about 300 tons. The number of land cruisers is between 9 and 12.
2. Main battle division: It is a battle group with fifty tanks of about 100 tons. This is the mode where the original light tanks began to become heavy through continuous technological development (similar to the large-scale destroyers in the modern era of the main world).
.
3. Aviation Combat Division: It consists of a mountain giant maintenance ship (one thousand tons), a druid supply land ship (eight hundred tons), and a mammoth tank (with a huge bucket in front to level the land, total
Weighing 850 tons.) as well as thirty-six Army Dragon Guard fighter planes and more than forty light auxiliary vehicles.
...The battle command system is no less than equipment technology. This is similar to the consciousness and micro-management of professional players, which often allows amateur players to win with 10% of their health...
The battle command power lies in the main battle division. The commander stays in a 100-ton information vehicle to determine the position of each battle group on the side. (Responsible for strategy)
After the battle begins, the tactical decision-making power lies with the aviation combat division. Each Dragon Guard formation has members of the staff, who begin to report the battle situation and make requirements for rear firepower dispatch, how to fire missiles, and how to greet the air force.
It’s all up to these tactical staff officers (responsible for micro-management)
As for the slowest and heaviest, the land cruisers are waiting to be deployed. Throughout the battle, their targets are those few strong fortresses. When it is time for them to appear, they will appear.
Iron Star's new battle command model completely defeated Ver in the following war.
Because the commander of the Ver Armored Corps still stayed in the most luxurious, comfortable, and powerful land cruiser, but such a heavy unit was too slow in the current combat system.
...Only fast martial arts in the world can be defeated. The command system cannot be used on a slow-paced weapons platform...
On the night of the 24th, through the rapid transportation of railways, Iron Star bypassed a full 500 kilometers from the north and rushed to the southern line. Then it launched a penetration attack and completed the attack on Verdi on the 60 kilometers of the southern line.
4. The siege of the Seventh Heavy Armor Group.
This kind of encirclement battle with weak armor against light armor is considered by the world to be an egg against a stone, a peasant challenging a knight with a dung fork, and also cited the combat power of a sea battleship, a big ship, and a big cannon against a cruiser, a small ship, and small artillery fire.
But these people ignore a physical factor. The sea surface is flatter than the land. If the sea surface is blocked by a large number of islands and mountains, then small ships will also pose a threat to large ships.
The land is not necessarily "flat", and the landform can be artificially changed.
The main combat armored vehicles all carry buckets. When the Iron Star peasant army surrounded the Anglo heavy armored regiments, they were dug out with buckets. This kind of civil engineering spirit has always been deeply rooted in Iron Star.
In the soul of Star Troopers, even if they now have their own heavy industry, the skill of digging earth is still carried forward.
The commanders of the three armored divisions personally drove the excavator to dig the soil, and then planned the tactical fortifications. In two hours, they dug out three to four hundred semicircular (horseshoe-shaped) soil circles for the tanks. These diameters
Forty-meter soil circles are distributed at intervals of 300 to 400 meters.
On the 26th, the 1st Versailles Armored Corps experienced this kind of barrier.
The belatedly arriving Ver Land Cruiser was blocked by the Iron Star Armored Group. Ver's conservative armor commanders used 240 mm caliber naval guns to bombard the Iron Star main battle tanks in the barrier bunker area.
, but the shock wave effect of the heavy artillery is obviously weakened a lot by the earth barrier.
Iron Star's main battle tank backed up and nimbly huddled in the mound, launched a 150mm armor-piercing projectile and began to counterattack. Ver's heavy armor blocked the bombardment from the front, but its tracks were frequently blown up, so that it had to be
Reduce speed and start concept field repair.
After being interspersed with the Iron Star main battle armor force, it withstood Verne's counterattack by the mainland's top-notch army.
At 9:13, 9:49, 10:34, 11:12 on the 26th..., about every forty minutes, the Dragon Guard aviation formation also sent out aerial strike packages, with 300 kilogram-level aerial bombs dropping one after another.
The laser was locked and pointed at the battlefield.
This kind of bomb is very tricky. It doesn't target heavy armor, but the joints of turrets. It's like someone having a snowball fight in winter. You don't need to be afraid of the snowballs coming from the front. However, some birdmen use ice hands to drill along the collar.
Pour it to the top of your neck and the little melted snow water will cool your heart down.
Throughout the battlefield on the 26th, Ver's surrounded heavy armored regiment conducted a frontal assault and lost four Land Cruisers.
On the Iron Star side, thirty-four main battle tanks withdrew from the battle sequence, and were knocked down two earthen fences! These earthen fences were piled up by the Iron Star armored troops with buckets in an hour, and Verre beat these earthen fences.
In the encirclement position, it took heavy artillery to blast out 100-meter-wide attack breaches.
However, the Iron Star excavators at the back built a new batch of earth enclosures to surround the position! This kind of position blocking battle against the heavy armored cluster was a very classic case in the next two hundred years, and it completely announced the end of the "heavy armored flow"
.
After the 27th, Iron Star's heavy armored regiment captured the stronghold that was blocked by logistics after the Vern offensive was stalled. This stronghold was just a train station because the Verns had not considered slowing down the offensive in advance and lacked station management.
The team and supplies are unprotected here and piled up like mountains. I feel like I can't stop this "express station". I'm really sorry for myself.
This was the only large-scale naval gun confrontation between the Iron Star heavy land cruiser in this battle. The Iron Star heavy armored division set up a T formation and defeated six armored iron vehicles within half an hour, and rushed back for reinforcements.
The No. 012 Verland Armored Squadron.
At this time, Iron Star gained a decisive advantage on this local battlefield, both in terms of frontal combat strength and air superiority.
On the 27th, from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., with the combined attack of the iron wings flying in the sky and the heavy armor on the ground, Ver's 4th Heavy Armored Division was annihilated, and only four of the 7th Heavy Armored Division remained.
A land ship broke through and left in panic.
In the follow-up pursuit battle on the 28th, the Iron Star Dragon Guard air assault force and the light armored division once again intercepted the fleeing force, successfully annihilating the 7th Armored Division at the cost of four tanks.
In this way, less than a month after the war started, Tie Xing wiped out four Ver divisions in Medog on the northern front and two divisions on the southern front. Although it could not change the overall confrontational situation of the war, it had already
Let Vern go up and down, feeling powerless about the outcome of the war.
…
On the night of the 28th, Boma, who was in the capital of Versailles, looked at the latest "quick news" from the front line. He glanced at it and clicked it shut. For Boma, it was news he didn't want to hear.
Boma, who has lived in a splendid and fortified palace for a long time, also knows that the opponent's "flexible fighting style" is the result of the country's high strength, enlightenment and justice.
His army obviously seemed rigid and rigid in combat. However, there was nothing that could be done about it.
In the struggle between ideologies, both sides seek to develop in directions opposite to the other.
Iron Star is greatly reducing the capital aristocracy, and it is very difficult for Verre to improve the "aristocratic salon culture". Because the reformists will be slandered by the conservatives as spies with "Iron Starism" at any time. In a certain skin, it is clearly stated
In a contradictory situation, right is right and wrong is wrong. If you want to blur right and wrong, the hypocritical person who wants to continue to "blur" and "compromise" cannot do it.
Therefore, it is not that Boma does not want to reform, but that only by defeating Iron Star can those who are inclined to reform be freed from the slanderous charge of "clinging to Iron Star" and start to let go of reform.
Let's put it this way, only if Tie Xing makes mistakes can Ver's side have the freedom to move in the right direction. And now Tie Xing has never made mistakes. This is an ideological war.
[In the past twenty years, the gods have continuously guided Iron Star in the wrong and narrow direction. In fact, this is to give forces such as Ver and Anglo the opportunity to copy these enlightened ideas. However, they were all broken by unruly people. 】
Boma looked at the map: If we continue to pursue victory now, we must go to more extremes. In that case——
Boma couldn't help but think of Wei Keng's question on the Sun King battleship: "Have you ever considered justice after failure?" Yes, now this question is like a soldering iron burning in his soul: He doesn't want to fail now.
, began to have to "temporarily" let go of the "meaningless" reserve.
Boma looked at the map of the continent, recalling in his mind the image of the radioactive wasteland he traveled through during his time as a sergeant.
He looked at the withered calendar. In the coming April, he wondered if this country (Verre) could continue to maintain its romance and beauty.
Boma unknowingly smashed the map with his fingers: Even if you can't get it, you can't give it to others.
He signed a plan of destruction waiting to be executed. However, just like when you wake up in the morning, it takes a while for the brain to urge the body lying in bed, so Boma, as the brain, also needs time to order Ver to get up and down and go crazy with him.
Sometimes the "brain" wants to do big things, but the "body" becomes honest under various difficulties.
…the dividing line between losers and winners…
On the Iron Star side, in the latest electronic projection communication meeting, the round table map is surrounded by all Iron Star strategists.
However, Wei Huun gave an order to Qian Qian: "Wait a moment. After this punch, you might as well take it back first and see if Ver can wake up next!"
Then, a line was drawn on the front line. This line was very tortuous, but it connected all the points where one's side had an advantage, maintaining offensive power on the line.
Ver is a big country, and a long-term war can mobilize huge effective forces. However, when the war is restrained, fifty percent of the effective forces have been consumed and all the veterans have been killed or injured. If Iron Star does not want these veterans to play a backbone role in Ver,
We must control the pace of war.
During the discussion among many people at the meeting, Su Ni said to Zheng Nian: "We do not have the ability to destroy Vern's country. This battle now should make all interest groups and all strata of Vern sober up and decide whether to follow a few
A few lunatics continue on their way to destruction. The war is ultimately for peace and for our development model to remain undisturbed."
Zheng Nian: "Yes, my opponent, but this war madman is not only Ver, but also Anglian."
Su Ni nodded, but what Zheng Nian said next made Wei Keng feel dizzy.
Zheng Nian: "I still have a sister in England. Tsk tsk, I have to capture her and give her a good home."
