The General Staff of the Airanhir Empire, Chief of General Staff Luo Kai, is holding an emergency meeting of the staff. Troops from the Puppet Empire entered the Holy Demon Empire to fight, which brought countless variables to the battlefield.
Every detail has to be reconsidered, so the staff has basically been in a sleepless state in the past two days.
A staff officer held the summary report in his hand and reported to Luo Kaihui: "There is an essential difference between these puppets and demons."
Another staff officer also nodded and said: "Yes, the puppets in the Holy Demon Empire can shoot and fire, which is very troublesome."
Of course Luo Kai also knows that these puppets are much more difficult to deal with than demons. These puppets have mastered many of the technologies spread by Ailan Hill and strengthened their own combat capabilities. This makes Ailan Hill feel a little troublesome.
Looking at it from another perspective, this may be the enemy force that the frontline troops of Elland Hill have encountered so far, which is most like their own: the opponent has heavy weapons, machine guns and rifles, and even artillery support, just like an army
modern army.
What's even more frightening is that this army is an iron army that doesn't understand fatigue and moves quickly! This makes the battle on the front line very stalemate, and makes the troops of Elan Hill very uncomfortable.
"The intensity of the battle has skyrocketed, and our original plan has to be changed." The staff officer who was the first to speak continued to speak very worriedly.
After hearing this, Luo Kai nodded and said in agreement: "Of course everything must be changed...the ammunition consumption will be increased from the lowest level to the highest level. The fuel aspect will also need to be increased by an index."
The frontline battles within the Holy Demon Empire have completely escalated. Ailan Hill's rapid advancement has basically stopped, and the recent battles have been small-scale defensive battles to consolidate the front lines.
On the one hand, it is because the fuel and ammunition carried by the troops are almost exhausted, and they can only wait for follow-up supplies to arrive at the front line. On the other hand, it is also because the troops of the Puppet Empire are indeed a level stronger than the troops of the Holy Demon Empire.
The combat troops of the ordinary puppet empire are basically the same as the second-line infantry of Elanshir, so the bloody level of the battle is certainly not the same.
In the same battle, you may only need one ammunition base to deal with the Holy Demon Empire, but two or even three ammunition bases may not be enough to deal with the puppet empire's troops.
Such a huge gap in ammunition consumption also indirectly caused the phenomenon of fuel consumption that could not be recovered for a long time. The troops could only be forced to make a wider range of detours, or repeatedly advance and retreat on a position.
The staff officer responsible for calculating the losses looked at the shocking numbers in his record book and said: "Our losses are rising in a straight line, and many lines of defense are very dangerous."
His job means that it is not good news when he opens his mouth. Everyone is well aware of the losses on the front line, but there is a certain difference between confirming the losses and guessing them.
"In two days, we have lost more than 3,000 people... Even in the face of the devil, we have not lost so many troops at the same time..." The staff officer said with some worry: "I'm afraid as the front continues to lengthen,
Our losses will increase."
The puppet empire possesses heavy weapons and equipment that no other country has used before. They pose a greater threat to the defense line. What is even more frightening is that their numbers are also very large.
Fortunately, the first batch of Airan Hill troops that invaded the Holy Demon Empire were all heavy-duty main forces. They were equipped with a large number of tanks and heavy artillery. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with the sudden heavy equipment of the puppets.
Because of the support of a large number of heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles, the entire defense line of Eiland Hill can be maintained. The battle between the two sides is becoming more and more like a contest between modern armies, which also makes Eiland Hill's senior
The commanders became excited.
What they had learned before was basically of no use. Under the powerful weapons and equipment of Ailan Hill, wars were often one-sided battles. Victory had already arrived before they could use their commanding talents.
Now, this situation has finally ceased to occur. All the commanders of Airan Hill have discovered that the opponent is no longer just a waste of time. If you want to defeat the opponent, you must rely on precise command and dispatch, as well as clarity.
combat ideas.
Next, some staff officers began to draw an outline on a huge map, encircling the places where the puppets had recently appeared: "According to feedback from the frontline troops, the puppets appeared in the mountainous areas."
As he walked, he left some marks on the map representing the puppet empire's troops: "Intelligence shows that they also appeared near Nobar..."
One of his colleagues standing on one side was giving him various supplements: "The puppet troops are also counterattacking near Misak."
These enemy forces appeared at key positions at just the right time to withstand the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army that were encircling the Kadom Industrial Zone. Their appearance prevented the strategic objectives of Eiland Hill from being completed on time in the first phase and stuck.
The industrial area of Dome has not yet been fully surrounded.
"The good news is that we did not discover the Puppet Empire's air force after the Puppet Empire entered the war... Our aircraft are still in unmanned territory, which gives us a lot of convenience." The staff officer of the Air Force has been in a good mood recently.
At least he didn't have the trouble the Army staff did.
The six-wheeled puppet tanks of the Puppet Empire put a lot of pressure on the Army's armored forces by virtue of their numbers, but the Air Force did not encounter enemy aircraft. In a sense, Eiland Hill's advantage still existed.
Because they have mastery of the air, the Air Force's recent results are a bit terrifying. Attack aircraft destroy ground targets unscrupulously, and hundreds of attack aircraft pilots receive the "Golden Support Medal" every day.
"The Air Force is bombing Foz..." The Air Force staff officer pointed on the map, pointed to a city slightly closer to the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire, and introduced: "We judge that there is a large enemy ammunition warehouse near Foz. Destroy it
That's where we'll gain some tactical advantage."
The reason why there was no large-scale bombing of Kadom was because the Army had always wanted the factories in Kadom.
These factories can repair vehicles and tanks, and can also simply produce ammunition and other materials. With this production base, the logistics supply situation of Ireland's 2nd Army and 3rd Army can definitely be improved a lot.
Therefore, the Air Force's plan to bomb Kadom was vetoed by the Army. Both Wilkes and Rest wanted to encircle Kadom and capture this industrial city without any blood.
"The next action plan is to focus on encircling Dokamu...to completely destroy the industrial base of the Holy Demon Empire and obtain a forward supply base." Fredro Kai tapped the table twice with a pen and said, "For this reason
, both the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army will gather armored forces... It is planned to take 2 days to close the encirclement!"
"Now that we have analyzed the situation on the frontal battlefield, let's talk about the situation on the 1st Group Army side." Luo Kai said, while focusing on several staff officers in the northern theater: "Now, what is most concerning is still
The fighting situation near the westward railway..."
When the staff officers from other theaters heard Chief of Staff Luo Kai's question, they looked at the staff officers from the northern theater with sympathy in their eyes.
As we all know, the northern war zone is the most corrupt war zone in Ireland. The westward railway has not been opened, and the crisis of the 9th Army has not been resolved.
"If a breakthrough cannot be achieved in a short period of time, the situation of the 9th Army will be even more difficult." A staff officer from the northern theater said with difficulty: "So the plan we have drawn up is to allow the 1st Army to open up the westward railway as much as possible.
"
"This is the best plan. If it cannot be completed, we will have to let the 9th Army break out on its own." Another staff officer from the northern theater then said: "Their fuel and ammunition are enough for one attack... As for
Attack the Magic Eye...or fight back to the Eternal Empire..."
"I think it's better to let them break out to the east! Enter the Eternal Empire to rest and wait for our rescue!" The most relaxed staff in the Southern Theater Command suggested at once.
"Then our good situation in the Magic Eye has come to an end?" Other staff members shook their heads and rejected this suggestion.
"Why do you care about the Magic Eye at this time?" Many worried staff officers of the 9th Army asked, slapping the table.
"You say you don't care, but can we really not care?" Another group of people counterattacked, not wanting to be outdone: "Leaving Greken to stop the demons will definitely be beyond his capabilities... When the war situation worsens, it may not be what we want to see.
result."
"Does that mean we will continue to attack the Magic Eye selflessly and leave our backs to those shameless enemies?" The two groups started to quarrel, making Luo Kai's head almost grow into two.
He is actually very conflicted, and feels that the current attack direction of the 9th Army is not a good choice... No matter whether it is heading east or west, it is very risky. Waiting in place will also face problems. Fuel and ammunition are being consumed every day. Waiting any longer
In a few days, you may not even have the reserves to make a choice.
"Of course not! Aren't we on the offensive... As long as we open up the westward railway line..." While Luo Kai was thinking about the trade-off, the quarrel in the conference room continued.
Both sides insist on their own opinions and refuse to give in to each other. No matter how you say it, they have their own reasons: "Isn't it a bit unwise to place all your hopes on the 1st Army now?"
Just as the General Staff was discussing how to use the last batch of supplies from the 9th Group Army, the Griken magicians who came to support Eiland Hill boarded a modified reconnaissance B-17 and returned the same way.
