"Not only do we need to prevent the enemy's ground troops from retreating, but in fact we also need to prevent the enemy from retreating in the air...Intelligence shows that the opponent's largest floating mountain has left Hope 2." From Modeller.
After returning from the headquarters, Harold returned to his own headquarters and held a brief combat meeting.
He actually doesn't have much power at his disposal. There are only about two hundred interstellar paratroopers on the Hope 2 planet.
This force has always been used as a special force, but in fact they are not a special force, just well-equipped ordinary airborne troops.
The Eilanhir Empire has its own special forces. The reason for the establishment of this force was due to the emperor's sudden bad taste one day.
Now, the empire's most elite special forces will join forces with the equally elite regular army. This is the first joint operation between the two forces since their establishment, and it is also the first time that the Empire of Eilandhill has used these two forces simultaneously on the battlefield.
Detachment of troops.
A man in a mecha opened the curtain of the tent, walked to Harold's side, looked at the electronic map, and asked: "Are there many Z-30 transport aircraft that can be used at the same time?"
Harold knew that the person who asked the question was a commander of the special forces of the Airanhill Empire who usually saw the dragon disappear, so he answered: "We found a way to gather 30 aircraft. According to the current situation,
In terms of transportation weight, the weapons and ammunition we carry will be very limited."
"The opponent may cross our defense line from the air, so we have to carry large and heavy individual air defense missiles to prevent this problem." Immediately afterwards, he also explained the combat plan.
"Do you know why this joint operation did not deploy interstellar paratrooper reinforcements from other local officials?" After listening to the explanation, the man suddenly asked.
Harold shook his head. He really didn't know the reason. There were hundreds of thousands of Imperial paratroopers. Even if they were directly drawn from the mainland, they wouldn't be able to assemble just one reinforced company on the front line.
The man patted Harold on the shoulder and said, "Because it's not necessary! Bring all your conventional weapons and equipment. You don't need to bring anything you don't prepare at ordinary times! Make sure you prepare more energy and ammunition, that's all!"
"But..." Harold still wanted to argue.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Leave the targets in the air to us, and leave the targets that can't be solved on the ground to us... In short, leave everything to us. You just need to help us take care of our luggage." The man smiled.
, showed an expression uglier than crying, and interrupted him.
"Lieutenant Colonel! This is a joint command operation! You cannot interfere with my battle plan beyond your level!" Harold frowned and emphasized battlefield discipline.
The man was stunned for a moment and showed an even more ugly smile. His facial muscles may have been a little stiff, so that the wrinkles on his face were not smooth: "Then, just carry out your plan and don't cause any trouble for us.
."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tent. Then, the man's lecturing voice came from outside the tent: "In order to save magic energy reserves, we will collectively take a Z-30 transport plane for this combat operation! Check all weapons and equipment before the battle.
!Be ready to go in five minutes!”
"The Air Force will be dispatched on a large scale for the first time, and they will clear out our landing site at any cost...but then we will have to expand our defense line and expel all the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect who want to get close to that Cambridge!" Harold looked at it.
Looking at the commanders under his command, he continued to explain the battle plan.
An officer raised his hand and asked to speak. After being allowed to speak, he asked: "Air Force aircraft will be shot down in large numbers by flying swords... Do we have a mission to rescue those pilots who are shot down?"
"There may be similar tasks, but our first task is to block the enemy's retreat route..." Harold replied, and then motioned for the other party to sit down.
"After we take action, the B-52 bombers will lay a 2-kilometer-wide minefield on our flanks... to buy us time!" Then, he made a gesture on the electronic map with his hand, and two places began to change.
Flashing red: "Two sky battleships, Sky 51 and Sky 52, will arrive later to provide us with powerful artillery support!"
"These two sky battleships will carry about 3,000 Marine soldiers. These soldiers will fly to the back of our position on UH-64 helicopters to help us establish a complete circular defense line and completely block the enemy's retreat path."
The use of sky battleships is an insurance measure for the Airansil Empire's staff. They believe that sky battleships can provide better and more direct fire support, and the current sky battleships are actually very different from the previous sky battleships.
Most of the crew members of newer models of sky battleships are puppets, and most of the operations are left to computers. Even if there is an accident and is shot down, there will not be too many casualties.
In this case, using sky battleships has become a more reasonable choice, even a priority choice.
In the past half month, the Airanhill Empire has been counterattacked by the defensive array on the Sword Peak of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect and destroyed two sky battleships.
However, even though the two battleships crashed, the Airanhill Empire only lost hundreds of soldiers. Even if it was an exchange, the Airanhill Empire was the one who took advantage.
"Our mission... first, clear a larger landing site before the sky battleship arrives to ensure the safety of the sky battleship! Second, try to prevent the enemy from retreating and slow down their pace... Do you understand?
"Finally, Harold asked loudly.
"Understood!" Several platoon commanders holding helmets stood up and replied in as loud a voice as possible.
"Let's go!" Harold picked up the helmet on the table and was the first to walk out of the tent. All the paratroopers had already lined up, and next to them was a smaller formation consisting of less than a hundred people.
These people have a lot of luggage, the purpose of which can be seen at a glance, including transport storage boxes for magic crystal batteries and some special equipment.
What caught the attention of Harold and his interstellar paratroopers was actually the different heights of these people: among those people, there was a "giant" more than three meters tall, who looked like an iron tower just standing there.
"They won't get a uipa-1, right?" Walking to Harold's side, a paratrooper platoon leader looked at the huge figure in surprise and asked.
"The ultimate individual power armor? Are you kidding me?" Harold looked at the giant whose whole body was covered in thick armor, shook his head and said, "That thing is almost obsolete!"
