Chapter 213： The quarrel of the staff

The Chief of the General Staff of the Ailan Hill Empire, Luo Kai, is holding an emergency meeting of the General Staff. The troops of the Puppet Empire entered the Holy Demon Empire to fight, bringing countless variables to the battlefield.

Every detail has to be reconsidered, so the staff has basically been in a state of sleeplessness in the past two days.

A staff officer held the summary report in his hand and reported to Luo Kaihui: "These puppets and demons are fundamentally different."

Another staff officer also nodded and said, "Yes, the puppets in the Holy Demon Empire can shoot and cannon, which is very troublesome."

Of course Luo Kai knew that these puppets were much more difficult to deal with than demons. These puppets had mastered many technologies that Ailan Hill had spread out and strengthened their combat capabilities, which made Ailan Hill feel a little tricky.

From another point of view, this may be what the frontline troops of Allan Hill have encountered so far, most like their own enemy troops: the opponent has heavy weapons, machine guns and rifles, and even artillery support, just like one. Modernize the army.

What's more terrifying is that this army is a fast-acting iron army that doesn't understand fatigue! This made the battle on the front line very stalemate, and also made Alan Hill's troops very uncomfortable.

"The intensity of the battle has risen sharply, and our original plan has to be changed." The staff who spoke first continued to speak very worried.

Hearing this, Luo Kai nodded and said in agreement: "Of course all changes...Ammunition consumption will be raised from the lowest level to the highest level. The fuel must also be increased by an index."

The frontline battle in the Holy Demon Empire has been completely upgraded. Ailan Hill's rapid advance has basically stopped, and the recent small-scale defensive battles to consolidate the front have been conducted.

On the one hand, because the fuel and ammunition carried by the troops are almost consumed, they can only wait for the follow-up supplies to reach the front line. On the other hand, it is also because the troops of the Puppet Empire are indeed better than those of the Holy Demon Empire.

The combat troops of the ordinary puppet empire are basically the same as the second-line infantry of Ailan Hill, so of course the **** level of the battle cannot be the same.

The same battle may only require one ammunition base to deal with the Holy Demon Empire, and two or even three ammunition bases may not be enough to deal with the Puppet Empire's troops.

Such a huge difference in ammunition consumption has also indirectly caused the phenomenon of long-term fuel consumption and inability to attack. The troops can only be forced to make a larger roundabout or repeatedly advance and retreat on a position.

The staff officer in charge of statistic losses looked at the shocking numbers in his record book, and said, "Our losses are rising straight, and many lines of defense are dangerous."

His work means that it is not good news for him to speak up. Everyone knows the loss of the front line, but there is still a certain difference between confirming the loss and guessing.

"Within two days, we killed more than 3,000 people...Even in the face of the devil, we did not lose so many troops at the same time..." The staff officer said with some worry: "I am afraid that as the front continues to elongate, Our losses will increase."

The puppet empire has heavy weapons and equipment that have not been used by other countries before, and they pose a greater threat to the defense line. What is even more frightening is that their number is also very large.

Fortunately, the first batch of Ailan Hill troops to enter the Holy Demon Empire were heavy main forces. They were equipped with a large number of tanks and heavy artillery. Otherwise, it was really not easy to deal with the sudden heavy equipment of puppets.

Because there are a large number of tanks and armored vehicles and other heavy equipment as support, the entire Ailan Hill line of defense can be guaranteed. The battle between the two sides became more and more like a contest between modern armies, which also excited the senior commanders of Ailan Hill.

What they learned before was basically useless. With Ailan Hill's powerful weapons and equipment, wars are often one-sided battles. They hadn't waited for their commanding talents to be used, and victory had already arrived.

Now, this situation finally doesn't appear anymore. All Ailan Hill commanders have discovered that the opponent is no longer a waste to pour a breath. If you want to defeat the opponent, you must rely on precise command and dispatch, and a clear idea of ​​combat.

Next, some staff officers began to outline on a huge map and circled the places where the puppets recently appeared: "According to the feedback from the frontline troops, the puppets appeared in the mountain area."

As he walked, he left some marks on the map representing the puppet empire's troops: "Intelligence shows that they also appeared near Nobal..."

A colleague of his standing on the side was making various supplements to him: "The vicinity of Misak is also being counterattacked by puppet troops."

These enemy forces appeared in key positions just right, and withstood the 2nd and 3rd Army that were encircling the Kadom Industrial Zone. Their appearance made the first phase of Ailan Hill's strategic goal not completed on time, and the Kadom Industrial Zone has not been fully surrounded until now.

"The good news is that we didn't find the Air Force of the Puppet Empire after the Puppet Empire entered the war... Our plane is still in an uninhabited state, which gives us a lot of convenience." At least he hasn't encountered the trouble the Army staff have encountered.

The six-wheeled puppet chariots 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, the advantages of Ailan Hill still exist.

Because of the control of the air, the recent achievements of the Air Force are a bit terrifying. Attack aircraft unscrupulously destroy ground targets, and hundreds of attack aircraft pilots receive the "Golden Support Medal" every day.

"The Air Force is bombarding Foz..." The air staff officer pointed on the map, straightened up a city slightly in the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire, and introduced: "We judged that there is an enemy's large ammunition warehouse near Foz. There we will gain some tactical advantages."

The reason why there was no large-scale bombing of Kadom is because the army has always wanted those 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 Ailan Hill's 2nd Army and 3rd Army can definitely be improved a lot.

Therefore, the Air Force’s plan to bomb Kadome was rejected by the Army. Whether it was Wilkes or Lester, they all wanted to encircle Kadome and take down this industrial city without blood.

"The next action plan is to focus on encircling Dokam... to completely destroy the industrial base of the Holy Demon Empire and obtain a forward supply base." Fred Roquet tapped twice on the table with a pen, and said: "For this reason , Both the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army will gather their armored forces... It is planned to use 2 days to close the encirclement!"

"The analysis of the frontal battlefield is over, let's talk about the situation on the 1st Army." Luo Kai said, while focusing on several staff officers in the northern theater: "Now, the most worrying thing is still The battle situation near the Westward Railway..."

The staff of several other theaters heard this question from Chief of Staff Luo Kai, and their eyes were full of sympathy when they looked at the staff of several northern theaters.

As we all know, the northern theater is now the most erosive theater in Ailan Hill. The westward railway has not been opened up, and the crisis of the 9th Army has not been resolved.

"If a breakthrough is not made in a short period of time, the situation of the 9th Army will be even more difficult." A staff officer in the northern theater said with difficulty: "So our plan is to let the 1st Army open the westward railway as much as possible. "

"This is the best plan. If it can't be done, then the 9th Army can only break through by itself." Another staff officer in the northern theater followed up: "Their fuel and ammunition are enough for one attack... As for that. Attack the Eye of Magic... or return to the territory of the Eternal Empire..."

"I think, let them break through eastward! Enter the eternal empire to rest and wait for our rescue!" The most relaxed southern theater staff members babbled suggestions.

"Then our good situation in the Eye of Magic fell short of success?" Some other staff shook their heads and denied this suggestion.

"What Magic Eyes do you care about at this time?" Many worried 9th Army staff members asked, slapped on the table.

"I don't care, but don't we really do it?" Another group of people was unwilling to show their weakness and counterattacked: "Keeping Griken to stop the devil, it must be a state of incompetence... When the situation worsens, it may not be what we want to see. result."

"Then it can be said that we continue to attack the Eye of Magic selflessly like this, leaving our backs to those shameless enemies?" The two groups clamored, making Luo Kai almost two big heads.

He was actually very entangled. He also felt that the current attack direction of the 9th Army was not a good choice... Whether it was east or west, it was very risky. Waiting in place also faced problems. Fuel ammunition was consumed every day, and waited. In a few days, you may not even have the reserve to make choices.

"Of course not! Aren't we on the offensive... as long as we get through the westward railway..." While Luo Kai was thinking about the trade-offs, the quarrel in the conference room continued.

The two sides insist on each other's words. In any case, they have their own reasons: "Is it a bit unwise to place all hopes on the 1st Army now?"

While the General Staff was discussing how to use the last batch of supplies of the 9th Army, the Gricken magicians who came to support Ailan Hill boarded a modified reconnaissance B-17 and returned to the original route. His homeland.
