When the battle in Sunset Mountain entered the white heat, on the east bank of the Tulun River, the armored forces of the Filipino Alliance under the leadership of the fat man were also advancing in the northeast direction.From the air, three of the armored units divided into four routes were like three long dragons stretching for more than ten kilometers, marching side by side among the undulating mountains of the winding valley.The other way, it turns east and winds northwest along a small stream, skirting the valley forty kilometres away.At the same time, on the side of the mountain range where the Sherlock Mountains extend to the confluence of the Tulun River and the Xiushui River, the four armored divisions of the 21st Army of Seuss were also rapidly approaching the 49th Peak.The rugged and difficult mountain roads and towering mountains make these rushing mechs look like herds of migrating elk.They flow through valleys, run on ridges, leap between rocks, and make splashes in streams.The distance between the warring sides is rapidly decreasing!
By the time the campaign had progressed, the situation could not have been clearer.Both sides understood each other's intentions, and all they could do was to march against time in an effort to seize strategic points and seize the initiative in the battle before the enemy arrived.Although there was no artillery fire, no gunsmoke, and no tragic fighting.However, this silent confrontation, in which two swordsmen roam high in silence and seize the advantage in order to strike a fatal blow, is more thrilling than a head-to-head duel with rumbling artillery.Chen Fengxi bit his pipe and paced back and forth in the combat discussion room.He frowned tightly, as if he had no idea that his pipe had long since been extinguished.Beside him, Pierre and other high-ranking officers of the Resque Front were either snorting cigarettes vigorously, or staring nervously at Skynet's real-time battle reports, or spinning back and forth like trapped beasts.From time to time, everyone's eyes touched each other and then flew away.Even the bandit officers, who had always seemed very calm, looked much more nervous at this time.Margaret, who had just finished directing the counterattack in Fright Vale and the next mountain, stood in front of the window, looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.Blatter, Fei Owen and other generals gathered in front of the electronic sand table, deducing while anxiously waiting for the battle report.As long as An Lei in front of the Skynet Information Station made any movement, several people were like vigilant sika deer, raising their heads and holding their breath.Everyone is suffering from waiting.It's a hopeful, with a hint of irrepressible excitement and excitement that makes people's hearts beat and breathless.Phoenix West Front, it's early spring at the moment.In the southern theater, many soldiers have changed into thin combat uniforms.The trees in the mountains sprout new shoots, and the meadows are gradually greening, dotted with wildflowers.The wind was no longer so cold, and the snow on the mountains was beginning to melt, merging into the babbling brook and clanging through the trees.Soon, the forests will turn green, the weeds will ripple in the wind, and the wildflowers will bloom all over the mountains.From south to north, this warm spring is spreading.Even the endless artillery fire cannot stop the change of seasons in nature.From the bitter cold to the early spring, just like the mood of all the officers and soldiers of the Filipino Alliance at this moment.Dozens of hours ago, the battle situation of Leifeng Star was so grim that people didn't dare to imagine the future, and dozens of hours later, with the arrival of the bandit army, with the implementation of the jaw-dropping crazy battle plan of Lieutenant General Tian Xingjian of the bandit army, the battle situation suddenly dawned.Perhaps it is at this time that the mood becomes more tense and suffers more from gains and losses."
The 12th Division and the 1st Regiment have already gone up," Pierre walked to the dining table on the side of the room, poured a cup of coffee, stirred it gently, and said to Chen Fengxi, who was a little distracted by his pipe, "Within an hour, we cannot send any additional troops to the front line, and if we send more troops at this time, it is likely to arouse the enemy's vigilance." ”Chen Fengxi nodded and did not speak.The key to this campaign was to annihilate the main force of Bellive's northern cluster in the Sunset Mountain Basin.If the front line can't withstand the enemy's attack, or if the main force of the Western Covenant retreats early before the bandit army completes the detour, then the hook punch that the bandit army throws with all their strength will hit the air.What followed was the rapid erosion of the entire battle situation on the western front of Phoenix.He looked up at the red sunset outside the three huge floor-to-ceiling windows on one side of the conference room, and suddenly felt that everyone in this room was like gamblers at the gaming table, waiting for the opponent to show his hole cards when night fell.And before that, there was an endless battle of wits.Whether it's a hit or a raise, you have to be careful not to startle the snake.This is the first and perhaps the last bet of the game.If they win, the Filipino alliance will have enough chips to continue gambling with their opponents.If you lose, you can only leave the game cleanly."
How's the situation in 152 Heights?"
Chen Fengxi looked up at the busy staff officers in front of the central console, and then looked at the time, he hadn't gotten any news from the 152 Heights for a full ten minutes."
Not optimistic," said Pierre in a low voice, the coffee in his hand rolled up into a brown gray vortex just like his mood at the moment, "The enemy dispatched two hundred Adjudicators, and if it weren't for the bandits' simple attack and the first thirty to be killed, the current situation would have been even more difficult." ”He glanced back at the bandit generals gathered around the electronic sand table, and his eyes were full of respect: "The special battalion of their first division is fighting very hard.Repelled seven attacks by the Adjudicators, killed more than 100 Adjudicators, and their own losses were as high as 60 percent, and they have not retreated to this day. ”"Fight to the death."
Chen Fengxi chewed on the word, and a kind of respect slowly spread from his heart.Perhaps, before today, he had only a vague sympathy for the Patriotic War of the Leray Federation against several empires, as a bystander, in the intelligence of the military department and on the television news.And now, when these warriors from Lelei and their fellow Mars fought bloody battles here, he finally understood what a heroic war it was, what a respectable country it was."
A small country with a population of only 1.7 billion, three star fields, and more than 5 million regular troops," Pierre sighed, "In this war, I can resist the four great empires of the Western Covenant alone, and I have lost more than 30 million deaths, but I can still take Mars, survive in the cracks, and continue to resist, I don't know if I should be excited or frightened about this." ”"Maybe you should feel lucky," Chen Fengxi patted Pierre's shoulder lightly and smiled slightly: "With such an ally, in addition to being happy, I can only be happy!"
”"Before, I didn't understand why Lord Hastings valued this country and this ragtag army so much," Pierre smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, "and now I understand. ”He looked at Chen Fengxi and said seriously: "This battle, no matter what the final result is, I don't think I will allow any Feiyang people I know to look at the bandit army with a discriminatory eye."
Compared to them, the current Feiyang army is nothing more than a sheep in a lion's skin!
”Chen Fengxi didn't speak, just slapped the hand on his shoulder twice more.Pierre bowed his head and took a sip of his coffee.The coffee was unsweetened, and the bitterness of the burnt taste was just right for him.It was a battle to the death.It was he, as the chief of staff of the Lei Fengxing Front Army, who brought the troops to their current situation step by step.Before the bandits arrived, he already knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely lose.However, he had no way, or should it be said that he did not have the courage, to be freed from the Filipino alliance coalition that was crushed by Xiyo on the western front of Phoenix City.He looked forward to the third build-up of the Allied forces.In his opinion, that was the only chance to turn the tide of the battle.Unexpectedly, it was not the reinforcements he was looking forward to, but a chubby Lieutenant General Lelei and his motley army.Just before he had time to get angry, the fat man came up with a battle plan that he couldn't even think of, and the situation was brought to life.Everything was like a dream.He finally agreed to the fat man's plan.Although in fact, he still doesn't know whether his decision was right or wrong, but he doesn't regret it.After all, in this beautiful twilight, he saw a glimmer of light.As long as the strategic detour is completed, as long as the main force of the northern cluster of Belif is annihilated, the Filipino alliance alliance will be able to form a powerful advantage like Mount Tai at the top of Sunset Mountain, and will be able to safely complete the transformation of the western front of Phoenix City from the equal distribution of forces to the integration of the group.More importantly, the annihilation of Bellive's northern cluster will inflict a heavy blow on the Western coalition forces and seize the strategic initiative.At that time, dozens of divisions of the Filipino Alliance will sweep across the western front of Phoenix City with overwhelming momentum, destroying the advantages that the entire Western Covenant has worked so hard to build up in the past few months!
Not to mention holding out for a month, even if someone said that the Front Army could win the Battle of Reske without relying on the reinforcement of troops from the rear, he had no doubt!
However, if the sunset does not hold the top of the mountain, or if the people of the Western Covenant are evacuated in advance, then everything is over.When the time comes, Belif, who has saved the main force, will have enough cards in his hand to drag the desperate Filipino coalition forces to Sunset Mountain.And the troops in the major theaters that followed the bandit army to the north could only watch as the defensive line that they had held for several months was easily captured by the enemy.When the West Covenant occupies Phoenix, whether it is to the north or south, the Filipino Alliance forces on the western front of Phoenix will be in a desperate situation.Heaven on one side and hell on the other.It is as if you are walking on a thin rope between heaven and hell.Pierre thought about it, and suddenly felt that he did not seem to suffer as much as he imagined, but on the contrary, there has always been an inexplicable but firm confidence in his heart.On the Skynet screen, the intelligence data scrolled rapidly, and the battle situation map was also changing rapidly.Through the dazzling red of the battle area, it seems that you can see every inch of the sunset mountain's burning position in the flames of war, every inch of the ground soaked in blood, and hear every cannon sound, every roar.The two sides have already fought red-eyed, you come and go, back and forth.As soon as Xiyo took a position, the Filipino allies desperately launched a counteroffensive to regain it.Before the recaptured positions could be rebuilt, a tidal wave of enemies poured in again.If the other positions are hell, then the 152 positions at this moment are the lowest level of hell.And standing at the forefront of the eighteenth layer of hell, in front of all the Filipino Alliance soldiers, is the tall and straight backbone of the bandit soldier!
Pierre drank his coffee dry in one gulp.In this war, Feiyang, not as good as Leray!
Beep beep, a few crisp electronic tones sounded from the front of the center console.Hearing this voice, Chen Fengxi, Pierre, as well as Margaret in front of the window, and the bandit generals in front of the electronic sand table, all quickly turned their heads, and then quickly surrounded An Lei."
Report of the bandit army."
An Lei's slender fingers danced quickly on the virtual keyboard, like ten snow-white elves dancing happily.As the files were decrypted and expanded, countless data were imported into the Skynet system, and the battle situation map on the screen changed.The main force of the bandit army is sixty-three kilometers away from Sijiu Peak!
And the large army of the 21st Group Army of Suss is only 51 kilometers away from the 49th Peak!"
The staff immediately calculates the time!"
Chen Fengxi hurriedly ordered.In front of a row of computers on the left side of Skynet, a crackling keyboard hit immediately sounded, and more than a dozen staff officers began to calculate at the same time.From the degree of march of the two sides, the terrain obstacles on the marching route, the influence of the weather and other aspects, calculate the time for the troops of the two sides to arrive at Sijiufeng.After a few moments, the crackling sound ended, and a duty director stood up and reported: "The bandits are five minutes behind. ”"Five minutes?!"
A Major General Chackner blurted out a repetition and looked at several of his companions beside him.Each saw a hint of shock and worry in each other's eyes.In modern warfare, time is a very important condition.It can be said that whether it is a real war or a deduced confrontation, the condition of time will always dominate the battle.Some battles may last for weeks or even months.However, at a critical time, falling behind the opponent means losing a battle.Even if it's a few minutes behind!
Now, the main force of the bandit army is five minutes behind the main force of Suss, and what is even more serious is that there is still a Suss armored regiment stationed in Sijiufeng!
This regiment is likely to move forward and block the main force of the bandit army."
Where are the bandit strikers?"
Margaret's cold voice rang out in the silence."
The forward is the first regiment of the Second Armored Division of the bandit army," An Lei, who had just opened the battle plan, quickly glanced at it and replied: "At present, this regiment is marching rapidly towards the Maple Leaf Slope, five kilometers southeast of Sijiu Peak, where the main force of Suss must pass, a distance of fifty-two kilometers!"
”Fifty-two kilometers Chen Fengxi and Pierre raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other in surprise.The corners of Margaret's mouth showed a hint of a smile: "Dead fat!"
