"The main force of the Seagoron Legion cannot leave the Ouranos Mountains and attack the Howe Fortress under the nose of the Zulu outpost, and their transport fleet cannot escape our satellite radar." Augustus said extremely.
Say it with confidence.
Although he was just an ordinary non-commissioned officer, his duty was nothing more than to obey the orders of his superiors and restrain his subordinates. In his free time, apart from reading and playing cards, Augustus spent the rest of his time studying maps and using sandboxes to deduce tactics.
on, and have no doubt that it will come in handy.
"The Hegorons wandering around Fortress Howe are actually assault teams of one hundred to three hundred men, scattered over a vast land of about two million square miles. And the total of these troops is actually quite small.
There are several thousand people in our brigade."
“So, I think the enemy we are about to face may only have a few hundred people or even less.”
"They dare to attack the fortress with only a few hundred people?" The squad leader had been persuaded by Augustus, but he still found it incredible. The fortress-like outer wall of Hawei Fortress was made of cube stones with embedded
A thick layer of Presteel steel plates, large-caliber cannons and rotary automatic electromagnetic machine wall steps are enough to withstand an infantry brigade.
“Those Camorians are indeed very courageous, but that’s definitely not the only thing that supports them in taking risks.” Augustus looked at everyone.
“There’s a mole!” Renault was listening on the sidelines. He was already very smart and good at thinking about problems, and his tacit understanding with Augustus had become increasingly high over time.
“Pete who drives the Gladiator, that hippie, I should have known it was him.”
“Is it Jérôme? He is always sneaky and told me he was trying to steal donuts. Is this reasonable?”
"Lieutenant Justin! You can't be wrong. He said he was a sweetheart when he was eating FD individual rations!" Everyone accepted it without hesitation and began to think about who the mole was, but almost everyone thought of the mole.
They all have their own subjective biases, and after talking for a long time, there are still few that are the same.
“Augustus, after talking so much, you should have already made a plan.” Reagan looked at Augustus.
"I have a plan." Augustus said, "Of course, you will be the one to give the final order."
“You cunning guy, you have said all the good things, do you think I have any other choice?” Reagan shook his head.
"The nearest city to us now is Oak Forest, which is less than ten miles away. We will first meet up with the Second Battalion there, and then go to support Fortress Hawe. In comparison, although Tavis East is stationed in the east,
More troops, but by the time we arrived, it was already daylight." Augustus said: "I know that the second battalion was transferred to the oak forest two weeks ago, but I don't know if they are still there.
"
"If we don't get support from the Second Battalion, we will stop here." He drew a circle on the map. In addition to marking the major cities, the map also noted the landmark buildings and the most famous companies in these cities.
and factories.
“Greene Automobile Works?” Reagan was confused.
“Repaint it.” Augustus knocked on his power armor: “Paint it the dark blue of Hygoron.”
This is actually not difficult to understand, because after the Kaimorians captured the power armor of the Tyranid Federation, they repainted it on the spot in their own automobile factory.
“You want us to pretend to be Hygoron’s people?” Reagan was surprised by Augustus’s adventurous plan: “No, it’s too dangerous.”
"I knew you wouldn't agree." Augustus said: "Imagine the worst possibility. Howe Fortress has already fallen when we get there, and we can sneak in before the enemy fully controls the fortress.
. Another possibility is that Warfield’s people are still holding on to their position, and we can attack from the rear and attack from both front and rear.”
"Using conventional tactics, our chances of winning are pitiful. Only by breaking the rules can we achieve unexpected results. Opportunities always come with risks, and we must take this risk." He said: "I have already calculated it, even if it is us
It took nearly an hour to complete the repainting at the automobile manufacturing plant, and it should still be the first batch of reinforcements to arrive."
At 8:44 pm, the armored car Augustus was riding in arrived at the oak forest.
Oak Grove was originally a town built by loggers. Later, due to the establishment of the railway network, the town became more prosperous because it was located at the hub of the transportation network. Commercial areas, industrial areas and residential areas were gradually divided into
, a vibrant and enterprising city emerged.
When the third row arrived, most of the buildings in the city were dark, with only the police station, maglev train station and city government still having lights on.
Reagan and Augustus divided their troops into two groups, one to find the location of the Second Battalion, and the other to the Green Automobile Factory.
The automobile factory is located next to the Oak Grove train station. Before the war, this station was the transfer station for the Fortress Howe-Odyssey-Western Crossing. There used to be twelve two-way lanes intersecting here. But now, this place has changed
It became the terminal station.
The top of the station is a reinforced steel vault. The artificial light sources on the steel frame structure make the station as bright as day.
At first, no one responded within the high walls of the automobile factory, but under Augustus's order, the grenadier Ward in his squad immediately blew open the door, and the two Marine squads stepped on it and broke it into several sections.
The iron fence steps into the interior of the factory.
When a manager of the factory slipped into the workshop with a few security guards like hamsters running along the corner, Augustus's subordinates had already begun to adjust the spray painting equipment skillfully. In the boot camp, they prepared for their own products
Touch-up or repainting of power armor is a compulsory course. What really gave Augustus a headache was Haigron's wing badge.
However, this problem was quickly solved by Lee Patchinyan, an automotive engineer in the class who had worked at Wolf Industries. Now we are waiting for Reagan to bring back good or bad news.
When the factory manager carefully asked Augustus what he was doing, Augustus directly asked him to provide a bank account to which he could remit money. From then on, no one had any questions about it.
"I'm afraid we have to act alone. The Second Battalion is not here. There is only one garrison company in Oak Forest, and they refuse to abandon the city to help us." Ten minutes later, Reagan said on the communication channel: "I will be there soon.
"
At eleven o'clock, a Marine Corps in dark blue paint walked out of the factory. Their trucks were also modified and planted with the Camorian flag. Half an hour later, the convoy entered the highway and headed for Fortress Howe.
The heavy snow had stopped by this time, but the road conditions were very poor, and Augustus estimated that they would return to the fortress in two hours.
At that time, they will disguise themselves as a Hai Gelong team coming to support.
