The 211th Brigade of the Third Army quickly entered the combat area. Along the way, they cleared out more than a dozen herder families and robbed thousands of cattle and sheep.
The reason why they were marching on such a large scale that no herders in the pasture noticed them was all thanks to the assistance of the Alpha Magic Troops.
With the professionalization of the Magical Forces, the Alpha Magical Forces are no longer the reserve force of the Air Magical Forces.
Although magicians have mastered flight magic, it does not mean that all magicians are good at flying. Some magicians are afraid of heights, and some magicians are too poor in flight control skills. They were killed by the aviation magic army for various reasons.
Filter it down.
These selected magicians are incompetent for the tasks of the aviation magic forces. Regarding land battles, they can still demonstrate their strong dominance on the battlefield.
Over time, the number of middle- and high-level magicians in the Alpha Magic Force increased, eventually forming a perfect system balance.
The Alpha Magical Force is mainly composed of an army, and its treatment is the same as that of the Aviation Magical Force.
In this operation of the 211th Brigade, Arthur directly sent them a company of Alpha Magic Troops, and coordinated with a small team of Aviation Magic Troops to clear out the herdsmen within the route in advance.
However, this is not a long-term solution. As more and more herders are cleared out, the Nanqu tribe will soon notice that something is wrong. Therefore, Rachel did not rest on the way and the whole army moved forward at full speed.
The soldiers were all crowded on the troop transport trucks, and the few who couldn't squeeze all jumped onto the armored infantry fighting vehicles and tanks. This allowed the 211th Brigade to go all out without overtiring the soldiers. As soon as they entered the combat area, Rachel
Set up your position quickly.
The 211th Brigade also set up its position very quickly. Their position was the only small high ground in the area of Chahan Grassland. They dug trenches and positions around it very quickly.
When Rachel assigned positions, the earth trembled slightly, and the water glass next to the table sparkled.
Pea hurried in.
"Brigade, a thousand-man cavalry force from the Nanqu tribe is coming towards our location."
Rachel nodded, grabbed the command sword next to her and said, "The entire army is in level two combat status."
"yes!"
On the watchtower in the camp, Rachel carefully looked at the thousand cavalry in front of her and showed a playful smile.
"This cavalry should be the elite of a certain tribe."
Wandou asked in confusion: "Traveler! Don't you understand?"
"The latest information came from Mrs. Sharon. Due to the rapid development of thermal weapons, the cavalry units of the Ottoman Kingdom have also begun to transform. The elite cavalry units of various tribes have abandoned long guns and replaced them with rifles and scimitars. Although the mainland countries have begun to equip
Rifles, but the Ottoman Kingdom, whose industry is extremely backward, cannot even satisfy the most basic elite." Rachel said while holding up the telescope.
Wandou immediately understood that cavalry equipped with rifles in the Ottoman Kingdom must be the elite of the kingdom.
"Will they test the attack?" Wandou asked curiously.
"You think too highly of them. Times have changed. Even if they have a mentor-level team to lead them and form a shield barrier, they don't dare to attack our position." Rachel said confidently.
The fact was just as Rachel expected, this thousand-man cavalry team just turned around in a circle, was bombarded by a 120-meter heavy artillery shot and killed dozens of people, and then decisively retreated.
"The whole army should speed up. The enemy's large forces should arrive the day after tomorrow." Rachel shouted loudly.
"yes!"
The soldiers of the 211th Brigade shouted in unison.
The soldiers quickly moved weapons and ammunition to the fighting position, and the artillery, with the assistance of the Alpha Magic Troops, pushed into the anti-gun holes, which are holes dug into the side walls of trenches and earth slopes that can be sheltered.
The entrance of the cave should be opened on a sunny slope with good soil quality, in a leeward place, and try to avoid shady slopes and wind outlets. The anti-blast cave has a very good cold-proof effect, and usually the temperature inside the cave can be about 12 to 20 degrees Celsius higher than outside the cave.
This kind of anti-gun holes can only withstand artillery of less than 100mm at most, and this is with the help of the Alpha Magic Troops. If you rely on the anti-gun holes dug by the 211th Brigade, it can only protect against mortars at most.
All twelve tanks were arranged in front of the position, with only the turret exposed, serving as a rotating turret.
Armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles are deployed behind the position, where there is a huge slope that requires heavy guarding to avoid being touched.
When all the arrangements were completed, the company commander of the mine-laying vehicle company, Aideyo, ran over.
"Travel seat, this is the minefield we are planning to lay out. Please see if it's OK."
Rachel looked at the mine map carefully. Except for the minefield at the back of the position, which left a passage for the army to evacuate, the other three sides were covered. Once the cavalry charged, it would definitely cause huge casualties.
As for the evacuation passage, it also adopts a diagonal route, which greatly prevents enemies from rushing in accidentally.
Rachel nodded with satisfaction.
"Just follow your plan."
"yes!"
Wandou stood on the sandbag on the position and watched the Royal Knight mine-laying vehicle carry out the mine-laying work. The density of the mines it laid was ~1 mine/m. It was completely random and there was no pattern. The front width of the minefield was one thousand meters.
The mission can be completed in less than twelve minutes. The chassis vehicle uses the chassis of the Type 89 tracked armored transport vehicle.
An anti-aircraft machine gun is also installed in front of the door and window, and the commander will perform corresponding operations when necessary.
The chassis of the Royal Knight tracked mine-dispersing vehicle is equipped with six mine-dispersing boxes. Each throwing box contains thirty-six mine bombs. When launched, 216 mine-dispersing bombs will be thrown together.
When you go out, it's like setting off fireworks. It doesn't take long for the shells to be dropped on the predetermined target area.
Looking at the landmines that fell into the position in front of him, Wandou's face turned pale. In such a dense minefield, even professional deminers cannot guarantee that they can all be cleared, let alone that the mainland does not yet have such new tactics and response units.
While the 211th Brigade was preparing for war, Arthur also began to destroy the roads along the Ussuri River, making them muddy and difficult to march.
The Second Army began to hide and recuperate. Instead of advancing rashly, they began an all-round investigation. After these years of infiltration and development, Mrs. Sharon has spread the traitor to the whole country. It is no exaggeration to say that one hundred people from the Ottoman Kingdom,
At least one of them is a traitor. As for the others, it's not that they don't want to be traitors, but that Mrs. Sharon doesn't like them.
Nowadays, if you want to become a qualified traitor, you need to go through various assessments. This is because the Ottoman Kingdom knows nothing about Mrs. Sharon’s intelligence penetration and layout, and it only clears out some people who seem to have dissatisfaction with the tribe.

Arturia sat in the temporary tent, holding her sword in both hands, and quietly listened to the traitor's introduction to the fortress.
