Volume 9 Chapter 39 God or Devil


January 5, 2o64 A.D.The battle of being born in Leifeng Star quietly and silently changed the direction of the wind when midnight came.Outside the sight of humans, the goddess of fate, barefoot as snow, stepped on the gravel path that flowed with blood.She stood at the crossroads, pensive.The sky is full of light, and countless warring mechs, charging soldiers, and burning flames form a mirage of light and light.It was the apocalypse of the gods.As the breeze stirred the snow-white robe of the goddess of fate, she turned at the crossroads.The thorns of the new road [***] spread out under her snow-white feet, and closed behind her.Countless vines grew like crazy, tightly sealed, blocking all eyes from the future.Then, it all melted away like ice and snow in the sun.Little by little, it dissipates and melts into history.Everything is silent.At this moment, in the depths of the vast universe, planets are still burning in the flames of war.The war between human beings is still in full swing.Fighter planes swept through the hazy sky like vultures cruising under a storm.Hideous mechs burst into the city, like bloodthirsty beasts in the steel jungle.The battleship sails in the silent starry sky, its shell shining in the light of the stars, hiding the brutality beneath its beautiful exterior.Soldiers are fighting in muddy positions, officers are analyzing operational maps in low and damp underground bunkers, politicians are busy calculating, arguing, accusing.Cities are in ruins, and life is lost in the stars.What should be born and what should not be born are all born.It is not until much later that historians slowly close the thick history of the war and feel the magic of fate.They will stand in front of the window with the curtain gently blowing, look at the fiery sunset at the end of the city or on the top of the distant mountain, and imagine the figure of the army that changed history crossing the six major theaters and advancing into the Sunset Mountain Basin at that sunset.No great prophet has ever been able to predict this.Just as Beliff had no way of knowing at the time, when he was formulating the strategy for the western front of Phoenix, an army of soldiers from the countries they occupied most of the land and a group of outlaws from the free world were coming towards him step by step.This standard rabble, led by a fat man with a not very normal brain, dealt him a fatal blow at nightfall on January 5.At 9:20 p.m., the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Panzer Division of the bandit army seized the Maple Leaf Slope and blocked the advance channel of the 21st Army of the Soviet Army.After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the 1st Regiment defeated the four armored regiments of the 2122nd Division of the Souss Division head-on, and then advanced to the northeast, cooperating with the three integrated regiments of the 1st Armored Division of the Bandit Army, which had detoured to the southeast of the 21st Group Army of the Souss, to launch an all-out assault on the Souss Army.Petrov then ordered his troops to build fortifications and defend them on the spot, but it was too late.It was a battle that was doomed before the war.Petrov, who was eager to seize the Forty-Nine Peaks, gave too many opportunities to the bandit army that was eyeing him.First of all, his logistics unit was still hundreds of kilometers away, and the combat units not only did not have the necessary materials to build positions, but even the energy and ammunition of the mechs were not sufficient.Secondly, the 21st Group Army, which has always regarded degree as a key element of the entire campaign, inevitably elongated its formation in the course of a long-distance rapid march.When they were blocked by O'Neill's group in the northeast of Maple Leaf Slope, the entire team stretched for more than 30 kilometers in front and back, and the organization was chaotic, and it was impossible to gather and form in a short time.If he were facing an ordinary enemy, Petrov might still have time to correct his mistakes, but unfortunately, he met a group of crazy people with an average hand of 55 movements per second, and an actual control output of more than 60 movements per second.These mecha warriors, who are constantly growing in battle, use lightning to advance and shatter all his illusions!

Under the front and rear attacks of the bandits, the 21st Group Army was like a long snake that had been nailed to death by seven inches, and its skeleton was shaken apart by sections.In the dark, the officers could not find their subordinates, and the soldiers did not receive clear instructions.Beside them, in addition to artillery fire, there was a picture of their companions falling in the flames.The establishment was disrupted at the first time.One after another, the Seuss mechs who tried to resist were mercilessly slaughtered by the enemy.The retreating soldiers spread chaos and panic backwards like a plague.After cutting the Seuss in two, Rashid ordered the 1st Regiment to drive the Seuss rearguard to the northeast, and the 2nd and 3rd Regiments to storm in the direction of Maple Slope.In terms of specific tactical execution, he further asked the troops not to care about the rout of the two flanks, but to concentrate only on crushing the enemy's organized resistance groups and positions.This order, announcing the great rout of the 21st Army.In the next half hour, the bandit army almost stepped on the heels of the scattered troops to break through in depth.The positions urgently established by the Seusse, the resistance forces organized, were crushed by the bandits almost as soon as they took shape.Coupled with the interference of electronic systems such as communication and command, the soldiers simply did not know what was happening in front of them and how many enemies were around.Panic began to spread as the rout in front came into view.The chaos and panic in the dark night are two deadly poisons.It's a pity that the 21st Army swallowed all the two medicines.At ten o'clock in the evening, O'Neill's regiment completely routed the 2122nd Division and launched a tentative attack on the temporary defensive line of the Souss Army Group in the northeast.At 10:25, a group of sharp knives detoured back to the Seuss sortie position four kilometers northeast of Maple Leaf Slope, cutting off the connection between its main force and the front line, and destroying most of the sortie position.With the earth-shattering explosion of the arsenal in the rear, the temporary defense line of Seuss, which was already crumbling, suddenly collapsed.O'Neill, who seized the opportunity, took advantage of the situation and swung in.Attack in depth at the enemy.At 10:45 a.m., the 1st Regiment occupied a hill 6 kilometers northeast of Fengye Slope and squeezed the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the 2111th Division and a regiment of the 2112th Division of the 21st Group Army into a narrow strip of land 2 kilometers wide and 12 kilometers long.At 10:50 a.m., the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the 1st Armored Division of the Bandit Army, which were attacking from the northeast, completed the cutting of the front troops of the 21st Group Army of the 2111th Division and the 2112th Regiment of the 2112th Division, which were trying to block the attack.At 11:20, O'Neill's unit joined up with Rashid's 1st Panzer Division.At 11:30, a hill nine kilometers northeast of Maple Leaf Slope was overcome, and hundreds of soldiers wearing black uniforms different from ordinary soldiers, piloting high-level mechs, together with three command mechas, announced their surrender in despair.At 11:40, the screening of prisoners was completed, and the commander of the 21st Army, Petrov, and the main generals below, were captured.At one o'clock in the morning, the campaign clean-up was completed.When a group of Seuss soldiers who walked out of the mechs raised their hands and stepped deep and shallow feet in the muddy ground under the guns of the bandit mechs, they walked into the makeshift prisoner of war camp.Trying to maintain his aristocratic demeanor, Petrov staggered into Rashid's command mech under the push of the brutal bandit soldiers.Five kilometers northwest of the Maple Leaf Slope, the main force of the bandit army, has crossed the Sijiu Peak and advanced into the Sunset Mountain Basin.

>>>>>>>>> "Bang", the delicate and gorgeous wine glass, fell on the hard floor of the command mecha and shattered.Flying shards of glass, flown in the light, reflected the blurred light, like a blooming ice flower.Belif lowered his head slowly, looking incredulously at the splashes of scarlet wine on his shiny black Le Maire buffalo leather boots.Time, as if frozen in this moment.In the spacious and bright cabin, there was silence.The well-dressed officers stood silently, like stone sculptures gazing through Medusa's eyes.The light of the Skynet screen is changing.Like the light at the bottom of the swimming pool at night, it gently ripples on everyone's faces and bodies with the fluctuation of water lines.However, this dream-like light does not bring romance, but a chill that makes people shudder.Seven armored divisions and one hundred Adjudicator mechs in the Frenso Town Theater were all wiped out, and the six theaters were penetrated by the enemy in one fell swoop, and the Fijian Alliance troops, with more than ten divisions, crossed the 49 Peaks and swept through the Sunset Mountain Basin.Xiushuihe Town was in an emergency, Qixing Town was in an emergency, and it was carefully planned for two months, hundreds of staff officers worked hard, mobilized nearly 100 divisions before and after, and consumed a huge amount of funds and materials to support the battle plan.He couldn't believe it was all true anyway.Although a few hours earlier, he had received the news that he had sent a communications team from the defense area of the 25th Army of Jeppen, but he did not take it to heart.In his opinion, it was just a beautiful little trick played by Fimeng.These cunning Filipino allies obviously understood very well that with their overstretched forces, they would not be able to solve the crisis in Sunset Mountain.Their large force had been pinned down by the Suje coalition forces attacking the town of Frenso, and Sunset Hill had only three or four armored divisions that were still relying on that low hill to resist.That was their last bit of strength in Sunset Mountain, and it didn't do anything other than buy them a little time to catch their breath.So, they planned the play.They used the bandit army that had just arrived in Resque as a mobile force, concentrated their forces, broke through Billy Town, and then turned around and headed north, making a detour to Sunset Mountain with a large force.Trying to use the threat of encirclement to force the Sujie coalition forces attacking Sunset Mountain to retreat voluntarily.Once the Sujie coalition retreated, they would be able to buy more time to stabilize the Frenso theater of operations in various ways, and then return to the division to reinforce Sunset Mountain.After all, they have a reserve force at hand, and there are a full twenty armored divisions.These troops are separated and useless.If you gather together and have enough time, you can get a chance of life.It must be like this!

When Beliff received the news of the attack on Jeppen's 25th Army, he made the above judgment after lying on the electronic sand table for less than half an hour.He firmly believed that the Filipino coalition forces, which had already been calculated to the extreme, could not have the strength to annihilate the seven armored divisions in the town of Franço and cross the six major theaters in twenty hours.That's just one of their tricks.Perhaps, at the same time that the communications team left Jeppen's 25th Army, their so-called "big force" that made a detour to the north had already withdrawn.Even if they were willing to be a little more realistic, they would not be able to pass the double interception of Jeppen's 25th Army and Seuss's 21st Army!

After all, that was the strength of a full fourteen divisions of two army groups.Not soft persimmons that they can pinch at will!

In addition to this judgment, there was another point that made Beliff feel at ease.That is, as early as ten hours ago, he had ordered the ten reserve armored divisions in the command command to assemble for combat readiness.In just another ten hours, he would be able to drop a few more attack arrows on the map to the west of the Sunset Mountain Basin.For their own battle plan, go up to a layer of insurance.He didn't want to stir up the crowd because of a small trick from the enemy.Responding to all changes with the same is the demeanor of the strong.He only needs to wait for the news that the defense line of Sunset Mountain has been conquered.Once the defense line is broken, any trick is just a joke that is not worth it.While waiting for news from the Sunset Hill front, Belif did not look at the operational map again.Although he has always been known for his caution, he is not a turtle that shrinks his head when he is frightened.Everything that had to be done had been done, and while enjoying the wine, he preferred to focus on the pleasure of being in control and the pleasure of seeing through the cleverness of his opponent, rather than worrying about the enemy's impossible forces passing through impossible places in an impossible time.He has always had confidence in his judgment based on the most basic common sense and years of experience in warfare.Until, the emergency reports from Xiushuihe Town and Qixing Town came."

Your Excellency, Marshal!"

A lieutenant general Seuss broke the silence in the cabin, "I think we should inform the front-line troops to withdraw as soon as possible."

If the defenders of the Fei Alliance in Qixing Town and Xiushuihe Town converge with the enemy coming from Sijiufeng, I'm afraid," the lieutenant general of the 6th Army bit off his guess like biting his tongue.Beliff's iron-blue face and grim eyes made him instinctively feel frightened.In the past ten years, in order to get out of the barren star field of the Suss Empire, the royal family has worked hard, almost exhausting the last copper plate in the treasury and squeezing out the last bit of wealth of the people.The whole of Seuss was constantly preparing for this war.Suss can't afford to lose, and neither can Belriff.In fact, if this well-planned battle had been unsuccessful, it would have been no different from defeat for Bellive.The Battle of Reske was the last desperate gamble between the two countries.If they can't capture Leifeng Star in a short period of time, wait until the Fiji Alliance relies on their economic superiority and rear strength, wait for their reinforcements, their newly built warships, and newly built mecha to continue to be transported to Leifeng Star far and wide, and the advantage that Su Jie's alliance has barely formed by being a leggings will be gone.But what could Belif do but withdraw his troops?

Whatever the real situation in the theater from Frenso Town to Sherlock, at least, the fact that the Filipino troops of ten armored divisions had crossed the Forty-Nine Peaks and detoured to the western part of the basin in the report of the forward troops was indisputable.If this unit really broke through the six major theaters and returned here in more than 20 hours, then their combat strength lieutenant general couldn't help but shudder.He couldn't go on imagining it any longer.Although everything told him that this might be the truth, whether he was emotional or intellectual, he preferred to believe that Belif was smiling with his wine glass and telling everyone that this was just the last madness of the Filipino.The arrival of the troop called the bandit army gave them a little strength and played a little trick.Although this trick is chilling, it is still a trick after all!

The lieutenant general kept comforting himself.Just before he could convince himself completely, a thought came to him uncontrollably.Is this really just a trick?!

The atmosphere of silence is like the dreary and oppressive weather before a summer storm.Belif walked over to the electronic sandbox and forced himself to pull himself together and activate his brain with all his might.His finger followed the town of Frenso north to the two major towns of the Sunset Mountain Basin.It was a straight-line distance of more than 300 kilometers, and even with the mecha's off-road ability, the actual distance traveled was more than 500 kilometers.Not to mention calling all the way, even if it is a 60-kilometer-per-hour journey, it will take eight hours to complete the journey.The only person who can complete such a lightning-fast strategic detour is the devil except for the gods.He didn't know what happened to Kitazawa Ken and Petrov, how they let this team go, he only knew that he couldn't be intimidated, let alone withdraw his troops.As long as you break through Sunset Mountain, all illusions will disappear.Qixing Town and Xiushuihe Town are still in their own hands.Most of the strategic locations, transportation arteries and towns in the western part of the Sunset Mountain Basin are still in their own hands.In Sunset Mountain, he had twenty of the most elite armored divisions of his own, with two hundred Adjudicators.Ten hours, maybe only six or eight hours later, the reserve troops in the back will be able to come up.Even if the enemy completes this detour, they will not be able to eat the main forces of the northern cluster in these few short hours.Thirty divisions are enough to break their iron teeth and steel teeth!"

Record Order" Belriff unbuttoned his neckline and moved his somewhat stiff neck.The staff officer in charge of recording stood solemnly, quickly opened the electronic notepad, and held his breath."

Order, the attacking troops of Qixing Town and Xiushuihe Town should turn to defense on the spot, be sure to hold their positions, and prevent the enemy from seizing the two towns at all costs.""

Order, the reserve troops must speed up, be sure to arrive here before ten o'clock in the morning, and those who do not arrive by the time limit shall be sent to a military court for trial for the crime of dereliction of duty in wartime.""

Order, the troops stationed along the No. 5 Resource Highway to stop going to Sunset Mountain, and reroute to reinforce Qixing Town and Xiushuihe Town.The General Staff Department should come up with a plan for the distribution of troops as soon as possible. ”With his hands behind his back, Belif gave a series of orders one after another, and finally said: "In addition, tell Longman and General Reinhardt that I hope to hear their good news in the shortest possible time." ”"Yes!"

The staff officer was ordered to turn around.Belif looked at the fragments of the glass on the ground, stepped on it, and stomped hard.The sound of glass shards rubbing against the metal floor makes people's teeth ache.He made a decision.In this game, he will press all the chips in his hand and follow them to the end.In any case, he also has to look at the opponent's hole cards!
