How could I not know? I was just complaining. But when you reminded me like this, it made me seem stupid. My strategic mind is not even as good as that of a lieutenant.
General Honkas glanced at Captain Meigs, thinking that this is how he met an amiable, simple and strong commander like me. Otherwise, with your emotional intelligence, you might end up as a low-level officer.
...Ah no, maybe one day I will be shot dead by my angry subordinates.
Captain Meigs didn't notice the change in the new commander's heart at all, and just asked businesslikely: "So, do you want to speed up the meeting with the 17th Brigade?"
At this time, Major General Hongkesi had already heard the gunshots and explosions in the distance. He could almost rely on his own instinct to determine that the opponent's ambush was not large. Therefore, he quickly made the "calmest" judgment
: "Go over and meet! Tell the boys of the 17th Brigade to hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"
A regiment that had just escaped from an enemy ambush and was in a state of disarray went to support an entire brigade. It sounded like something was wrong, but because Major General Giant's tone was so confident, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
, the morale at the scene immediately rose a lot.
"Go and rescue our comrades!" He said loudly again, with the power of morale-boosting words in his voice.
As a first-generation psionicist born in Yeluzi, Major General Hongkas only began to receive systematic occult education at a very young age, and this is already the only psionic technique he has mastered.
Fortunately, his skills were not bad. The soldiers were indeed inspired, and they responded loudly. They were all so high-spirited that they seemed not to be breaking out of an encirclement, but to charge to the death.
There were less than a thousand fully armed soldiers left in this regiment, and under the cover of the remaining 14 light assault tanks and 8 self-propelled sports cars, they strutted forward towards the distant battle site.
According to the standard, their stormtrooper regiment was also equipped with four heavy armored tanks. Unfortunately, these fat and slow-moving armored vehicles were all opened one by one by the defenders.
Many of the defenders did not even wear mechas, but wore light power suits and moved quickly with the help of the cover of the ruined walls. Then they suddenly emerged from a place where no one was aware, fired a shot, and disappeared in an instant.
From this perspective, does it mean that when the enemy relies on the ruins of the city to attack, heavy armored vehicles that are slow to move, have huge targets, and have an excessively large frontal projection area will have limited effectiveness and may even become targets?
?
If you think about it more carefully, in the previous battles, the larger ATATs were indeed destroyed. Those strong and powerful multi-terrain iron feet are weaknesses no matter how you look at them. This kind of weapon can only be used to scare people without any fighting spirit.
If an indigenous mob lacking heavy weapons encounters a low-level opponent of the same caliber, wouldn't it be a big mistake?
Major General Hongkesi pondered these thoughts while following the large army forward. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped an important reform node of the Imperial Army, and for a moment he was a little excited.
As a Marine general, these issues are indeed within his scope of thinking. He did gain fame and promotion due to his bravery, but he did not really want to be a reckless man for the rest of his life.
If you can put forward some forward-looking and feasible reports, this failure will not only not become a stain, but will become the fuel to help you take off, right?
Yes, those who learn to sum up the lessons of failure are talents, and the big bosses above will definitely see this.
Hongkasi was thinking as he moved forward, but he didn't feel tired at all. He even felt safe among the crowd.
As a major general, of course he can ride in the car. However, Major General Hongkas, who has experienced many battles, knows very well that once he gets on the car with his big body of more than three meters, he will naturally not be able to get into the hatch.
He could only squat on the turret of the tank.
Just thinking about that scene, the giant general felt bursting and dying, and he knew on his knees that if it were like that, not only would he be ashamed, but he would definitely become a target of fire from the enemy.
Of course, although he said this in his heart, he kept saying that he must share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers; the majestic imperial warriors can complete this journey with their legs; even though he is old, he is still an invincible warrior.
When I was about to take the lead in the charge, the ordinary soldiers were immediately moved to the point of bursting into laughter.
However, as the adjutant, Captain McGovern had already sat on the base of a tank without hesitation, leaning against the turret, carrying a high-power military communicator and began to call the headquarters and our own warships in orbit.
.
However, five minutes passed and he found nothing. Even the brigade headquarters of the 17th Brigade, which he had successfully contacted just now, was disconnected.
Major General Hongkesi listened to the other party saying "Hey, hey, hey, hey" in the car beside him for a long time, but there was no movement. He felt a little irritated, so he smiled and said: "So, Captain, how is this kind of wide-area communication interference achieved?
?”
"There are actually many methods. For example, hiding a large number of electromagnetic jammers in urban areas or nearby mountains; allowing soldiers to carry wide-area noise amplification equipment for non-stop maneuvers; using satellites to diffuse neutron beams; and launching them over cities.
Strong photon interference bombs. Of course, there are many countermeasures, but we are not prepared in advance." Captain McGowan still gave a direct answer with his usual low emotional intelligence.
However, Major General Hongkas felt a huge surprise again. He felt more and more that the other party must be a talent.
"You didn't just go to school... I mean, you didn't just go to Royal Guards University?"
"Xiaguan served as deputy captain of the guard force for five years in the slave labor camp in the Symoea sector. He didn't have much to do, so he took two degrees online."
"After this battle is over, Captain, you will prepare a report for me, including the communication methods the other party may use and how we can counterattack. The more detailed the better," the giant general said.
"clear!"
"Tsk... If it weren't for this strong interference, the battle just now would have been enough for us to take down this city." Major General Hongkas cursed reluctantly.
"Actually, even if there is no communication interference, we can break through to the first underground level of the city at most. There is still a tough tunnel battle to fight," Captain McGowan said.
Major General Giant felt more and more that this man was a talented person, so he no longer cared about the other party's attitude. When he was about to ask the other party his opinion on the tunnel attack, he was interrupted by a sudden explosion in front of him.
He looked up and saw that the originally spacious wilderness gradually became undulating in front of him, and his field of vision suddenly narrowed. The mountains on both sides overlooked the passage below, forming an irregular
Pingkou. These hillsides are just an extension of the mountains in the north of the city. The slopes are relatively gentle, the terrain is not steep, and the altitude is not particularly high. Strictly speaking, even civilian off-road vehicles will feel as if they are walking on flat ground passing through here.
.
But if it appears on the battlefield, it will make people think a lot.
What's more, the battlefield further away has been completely covered by the air waves and thick fog generated by the explosion. The weapons of oneself and the enemy are flashing in the white fog, like the colorful lights of the city in the dark, humid and dense fog.
It's like, gorgeous but without any sense of beauty, only a heart-stopping sense of oppression.
The dazzling flashes produced by the explosion continued to flicker in the thick fog, accompanied by thunderous noises. The figures of the soldiers shuttled through the fog, but it was completely unclear who was the friendly force and who was the enemy.
Now, more than 2,000 soldiers of the 17th Imperial Stormtrooper Brigade, who had withdrawn from the city in the early stage, are fighting with countless enemies in the gaps between the foothills and hills. The fierce killing field is constantly expanding, and has obscured the newly arrived soldiers.
All possible paths forward for the 4th Regiment.
Major General Hongkasi pondered for two seconds and said quietly: "Well, this... there is a saying in the art of war, it is said that there is no forest and no mountains."
If I remember correctly, there should be another road after exiting the mountain and walking three kilometers east.
He had to admit that since the airship he was riding in was shot down, he had not recovered yet, and he was still relatively stable after all.
"But, isn't that a term from the cold weapon era?" Captain McGowan said.
How different are we from the era of cold weapons? Major General Legg Giant clearly saw that two kilometers away in a straight line, an Imperial soldier and a Rumina rolled out of the mist of fire while wrestling.
They had lost their firearms, and even their main hand-to-hand weapons were damaged, leaving only pitted battle axes, broken high-carbon crystal swords, and fragile and thin daggers.
The final result of the battle ended when the Lumina soldier fought hard and had one of his hands cut off, then inserted the dagger into the gap under the enemy's face armor. The warrior with only three arms left stood up tenaciously.
It was only then that he saw the soldiers of the 4th Regiment who had just arrived. He raised three middle fingers and retreated into the thick fog.
"Natives of Lumina! Lowly beetle people!"
"It is simply a shame for mankind that the earthly bumpkins treat them as treasures!"
"Yes, a traitor! Everyone on earth is a traitor! That, that Dawn... that person is the biggest traitor!"
Major General Hongkas heard his subordinates whispering and felt that he was being ridiculed, but he could only pretend not to hear. Then, he also heard a lookout shouting: "Look! In the direction of the coast.
!”
The giant major general turned back and glanced in the southeast direction, and saw three red spots rising in the sky, which soon bloomed into gorgeous and gorgeous sparks.
This scene should appear during a grand celebration.
However, it must be admitted that these large-scale fireworks are highly visible and easily identifiable. They are very suitable for use as signal flares when communication is lost.
"Sir, this is..." Captain McGowan's voice was a little urgent.
Major General Hongkasi said angrily: "I can see that missiles are being launched again on the other side of the sea. Three red fireworks, which means at least thirty missiles were fired? Tsk, there are still enemy unmanned submarines lurking under the sea.
?”
Thinking of this, he suddenly became angry and said loudly: "That's why I said that unmanned submarines in the sea are hidden dangers. If you really can't find them, why not use two neutron bombs in the offshore sea?
?”
I have pity on my poor soldiers who retreated from the plains to the east. They were already bombarded when they came, and they were bombarded even more when they left.
Just for this so-called holy land planet? In order not to destroy the so-called environment? More soldiers' lives must be sacrificed to push it? Although the bosses above are always inappropriate, this time they are really too inappropriate!
Major General Hongkasi decided that this time when he went back, he would beat the table for Commander Surme.
If you want to capture this city, you must be ruthless.
"The power of the neutron beam will be weakened when it encounters water. I think the positron beam should be used for irradiation." Captain McGowan said.
Isn’t that just burning glass? I think you are still a bit too extreme.
Just as Major General Giant was about to say something, he heard the noisy bass sound coming from the terminal carried by the opponent again, and finally there were some intermittent and fuzzy sounds: "Attack...avoid!"
"It's the headquarters." Captain McGowan said.
No need for a special introduction, Major General Hongkas thought. Although the voice was quite vague, full of noise, and intermittent, he could still recognize Commander Surmei's voice.
"Yes, sir, we have seen signal flares. The enemy once again launched artillery attacks on us from the sea. However, the troops retreating from the plains to the east are in an orderly manner and are well prepared for air defense. They will definitely be able to retreat to a safe area.
Major General Surmei's voice was like a fat-headed fish that was caught ashore, struggling hard as if this could prolong his life. However, he still failed to finish a complete sentence.
The communication terminal shut up again.
"Your Majesty will continue debugging, and we should be out of the interference zone soon." Captain McGowan said: "However, Your Majesty probably guessed what Commander Surmei meant."
"……you say."
"Does he mean that those missiles are coming towards us? Tell us to get out of the way quickly?"
Hongkasi's first reaction was impossible, absolutely impossible!
You know, at this time, the enemy and us are completely engaged in a chaotic melee. If this happens, doesn't it involve our own people? You know, using large-scale firepower to kill indiscriminately is a taboo on the battlefield.
The blow to one's own morale is completely devastating.
This is completely different from supervising a team to enforce the law on the battlefield, or driving cannon fodder to charge to the death.
Noble generals like the Imperial Army, who have always regarded the lives of ordinary soldiers as resources, cannot do such a thing. Since the 38th Division of the Community on the opposite side is such a difficult and powerful enemy, they should not be able to do such things either.
Come.
After all, when defending a city, the defender's morale is much more important than the attacker's.
But then, the giant general suddenly realized that his side seemed to be one or two kilometers away from the battlefield.
In the sky above his head, dozens of fire lights flickered, like a boiling meteor shower.
However, as a psyker, the Giant General had no time to worry about the missiles that were about to land.
He clearly felt that there were indeed new enemies coming from behind the ridge in the northeast. One of the psykers was not even prepared to cover up his presence. The psychic fluctuations he unleashed were clearly coming from behind.
Challenge yourself.
It should be the deputy mayor of the 38th Division, the Highlander named Meng Jiao, right? It is said that he is a very impressive guy. In the past two months of fighting, he has killed many imperial warriors. From Ling
Judging from the fluctuations, he is indeed a powerful character.
However, I, General Hongkas, have experienced many battles, how can I be provoked by such a thing? We have long passed the age of showing off our strength and martial arts.
"Command to the whole army! Attack me!" He slammed the machine gun on the ground and ordered the whole army to move forward bravely.
Now, even if you think about it with your knees, you will definitely be bombed by missiles coming from afar if you retreat, followed by the siege of the enemy's pursuit troops. Only by pushing forward can you have a chance of survival.
However, he had just shouted loudly, and before he even had time to use his word spirit, another cannonball fell next to him.
It should have been an attack from the surrounding mountains, but they didn't know the specific location. For the Imperial Army's scouts, there were heat sources and murderous intent everywhere in front and behind them, on the mountains and underground, and even in the sky.
Obviously, the community's ambush troops have noticed this group of imperial troops, and of course they cannot fool the fat and tall Major General Hongkas.
Fierce shock waves and hot smoke rose up at the same time, completely covering it.
This scene, of course, also fell on the big terminal screen of the headquarters where Major General Surmei was located.
Although communications have been interfered with, the reconnaissance aircraft and warships in low-Earth orbit are not affected. Instead, they can conduct 24-hour tracking and filming of their own retreating troops, and the images are still 1080p high-definition, and even
I can also give you a close-up or something.
However, you can obviously monitor the movements of each officer and soldier, but you cannot contact them personally.
What the hell is the difference between this and the current prison sentence? Major General Surmei looked at his deputy who was swallowed up by the explosion with grief and anger. He felt that it was the most shameful war to reach this point.
