Chapter 1637： Surface warfare

Beside the holographic combat map, Midas was listening to the combat staff introducing the results of this long sword operation.

I only heard a staff officer sketching an area with his hand, circled the flashing army icons, and said: "Operation Longsword is proceeding very smoothly. Our army is behind the counterattack area of ​​Operation Longsword. A stronger defensive position was set up."

This counterattack was planned by Medias. The front-line combat commander who carried out this plan was Burrison who had just been transferred to the Higgs 3 planet for combat missions.

As the commander-in-chief of the offensive group on the right, he is now the senior commander of a large group of 100,000 troops.

In order to make the longsword action plan more smoothly implemented this time, Medias decisively let Burrison who had just been transferred to the battle personally, leading the main force to try to counterattack.

Compared to himself, Burrison has always been an offensive commander. He rose to fame on the Hope 2 planet and became a representative of the younger generation of commanders.

As for Operation Longsword itself, it was designed by Medias himself. To put it bluntly, it is a pincer offensive, which is not uncommon.

is just the choice of this counter-attack location, and Midas still moved a lot of thoughts. The attacking force on one side is leaning on a mountain range, which can provide basic flanking protection for the armored force; the flanking of the attacking force on the other side is almost the same, which is equivalent to two more natural barriers.

In order to choose this counter-attack pocket, Medeas even gave up some positions before, taking full advantage of the terrain.

Madias believes that blind defense is actually very passive. Any high-quality defense should be combined with multiple short counterattacks to be solid.

Because blind defense will only hand over the initiative of the campaign to the opponent, only by counterattack from time to time to contain the attention of the enemy can they stop paying enough attention to how to find the weakness of the defender.

Another combat staff officer spoke at this time and mentioned Burrison, the commander in charge of the attack: "Burrison’s troops also made progress on the left. He took the previously lost position 7-484, which was ours before. A very important defensive position."

Medias nodded. In his impression, the main position No. 7-484 was still very dangerous. He had deployed a force there, which caused a lot of trouble to the offensive Guardian troops.

Later, the enemy mobilized more than 100,000 troops to besiege Highland No. 7-484, and piled there with countless casualties.

The defensive forces that stood there were eventually wiped out. About 1,000 natural officers and soldiers died on the high ground.

For this reason, the front-line command center also opened a small memorial service, and Medias personally wrote a letter of condolences and sent it to the families of the dead.

A staff officer looked at the holographic map, sighed with regret, and said, “However, the fortifications over there have been swallowed up, so it’s impossible to reuse it.”

There is indeed a very dangerous commanding height, the shooting range is open and there is no obstruction. As long as there is a troop guarding this high ground, the Guardian troop cannot make waves nearby.

Similarly, it is a pity that this place is also a Jedi, there is no cover of other terrain, once the Guardian troops seize the nearby plain, then this Jedi will be completely surrounded.

If there is no time to retreat, the entire army will be wiped out here, as it was dozens of days ago.

The staff officer who spoke first was still full of confidence in Burrison’s counterattack, so he promised: “But by taking advantage of the terrain, our troops can hold on there for a while and buy more time for the rear.”

This is also true. If so many elites cannot guarantee the success rate of counterattack, then the defense of the Ailan Hill Empire should have collapsed long ago.

Medias also felt that there is still a chance for so many elite troops to fight against a small group of Guardian troops within a range.

So he looked to the other side of the map. There was no cover for the counterattack mission. Midias maintained a defensive stance on that side and ordered the troops to stand on the defensive line.

I only heard him ask: "How about the other one up, how is it?"

"The nuclear bomb launched yesterday morning accurately hit the target area. The electromagnetic radiation from the nuclear explosion made our detection extremely difficult." A staff officer immediately replied: "But the night reconnaissance plane showed that the enemy seems to be not talking again. Reasonable self-reproduction and replication."

"Guess it! They will surely offset the loss, and then continue to attack us." Medias nodded and agreed with the staff.

The staff immediately added: “So we can only calculate the weakening of the enemy based on the past damage rate. According to estimates, about 150,000 sweepers have been killed.”

"Has the pressure on our defense weakened?" Midas continued to ask.

The staff officer nodded slightly and reported: "Yes, the defensive pressure in the direction of the nuclear bomb attack area has been significantly reduced, but the enemy still has a significant numerical advantage, and the defensive pressure is still very high."

Medias looked at the regional star map next to him, and the enemy was attacking in another direction, and he muttered: "Even we are so passive here. It is conceivable that General Alfred, and General Dolenault. What is it like over there..."

On   Higgs 11, fierce fighting also continued.

"Reinforcements? Hey? Hey! Where are the reinforcements? We need reinforcements! Reinforcements!" Holding the intercom, a commander yelled angrily.

On the 11th Higgs, the defense line of the Ailan Hill Empire, an advanced demons is calling for reinforcements.

Right in front of the line of defense he was garrisoned, countless Guardian troops were charging incessantly, and seeing that the Mozu troops could no longer support it.

The demon army's ammunition, which is constantly shooting with weapons, is about to run out, and they have lost their long-range firepower, and finally they can only rely on their own magic and long swords to face the attack of the sweepers.

Fights like this often become very tragic at the end. The demons have the loyalty and bravery of the last person in the fight, and the guards also have their unshakable pious beliefs.

The battle never stops, both sides are trying their best to defeat the other side. No one wanted to give up the land under their feet, so the soldiers of the two troops remained entangled until they died. Not only here, the fierce battle in the direction of Higgs 4 is also going on in the same way.

Both sides are trying to defeat each other, but in a short time, no one can do anything. Loss is increasing every day, the battle situation becomes more intense every day, the battle... never stops—

I was really unlucky this month, I hope everyone understands it. I can’t say anything about the elders, but I can only worry about it myself. The bones of the otaku, Long Ling, can’t stand the toss. As a result, half of his teeth were loosened and the pain was so painful. I really couldn’t write. Stuff. I apologize to the readers, sorry.
