Since the scope of the entire battlefield is fixed, no one dares to take a step beyond the boundaries.
In this area, in order to curb each other's wireless communications, the two sides regularly launched strong magnetic jamming bombs, causing communication chaos in the entire area and making it impossible to receive accurate content.
Under this situation, even the drone can only fly according to the preset program to take photos, and the video data can be viewed after returning to the base.
Once a fault occurs during the process, it cannot be retrieved through instructions.
The quantum communication satellite, which is said to be the most powerful and has no fear of shielding and intrusion, is also offset by magnetic waves under the interference of strong magnetic bombs at the positive and negative poles, and attenuates to the point where it is difficult to receive.
Only the Earth-Satellite Space Network of the Earth-Satellite Administration uses photon communication technology, which can transmit at the speed of light. It is not greatly affected and can barely monitor ground operations in real time.
For the sake of fairness, the Earth and Star Administration blocked the signal coverage in the designated area at the beginning of the war, making both sides half-deaf.
As a result of mutual constraints, war communications between the two sides returned to the era of wired telephones, and even wireless transmission became a luxury.
Captain Shaher wrote in the message:
In this battle in the 12th District in the northern part of the dividing line, our unit annihilated all 1500 invading enemies in the **** village blocking battle and warehouse group clearing battle. , to achieve the first phase of counter-strategic penetration.
Then, in cooperation with the T-0481 chemical defense force, they used their own advantages to successfully raid, occupy the dividing line passage, and quickly advanced to occupy part of the underground tunnels of Sekma Town in the northern part of the FA Alliance.
With the support of our near and long-range artillery fire, our department cleverly used resources such as "D-bomb-killing beetles", chemical protective suits, CO high-pressure spray guns and other resources to carry out targeted designs, and blew up the alliance's local area at 1:38 pm on February 3. The garrison's underground arsenal deprived it of ammunition supply and combat confidence.
At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we successfully captured the small town of Sekma, and immediately controlled the strategic high ground on the hill in the southern part of the town, completing the second phase of the strategic penetration mission.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it suffered the first round of air strikes from the alliance, causing more than 150 casualties.
At present, various defense plans are being implemented urgently around the small town of Sekma, with the hill as the core, and it has not yet encountered a large-scale counterattack by ground forces.
As of the time of publication of the message, our unit has achieved a phased victory, annihilating about 4,000 enemy troops, capturing more than 40 people (more than half of whom were killed in the artillery attack), and capturing a number of weapons, which are being counted.
A total of more than 1,700 personnel of our unit participated in the war, about 900 were killed, and about 200 were lightly or seriously injured. This weakened the alliance's effective strength to the greatest extent and made a step forward to achieve the war goal.
In order to completely stabilize the occupied area and use it as a strategic springboard to gradually penetrate and advance the alliance's military-controlled areas, our department is in urgent need of the following supplies. Please provide them.
The 12th District in the northern part of the dividing line is seriously short of combat personnel and cannot withstand the alliance's large-scale air strikes and ground counterattacks. Timely reinforcements are requested.
…
18:00. After the heavy rain stopped, the clouds seemed to be stained, revealing a rare glimpse of the sunset.
The night that was supposed to come, also couldn't bear to come quickly in the nostalgic setting sun.
Not long after Shaher sent the message, Major Libera sent some news.
1. Except for the partial collapse of the mountain's fall, the east-facing, south-facing, and north-facing hidden window tunnels on the hill in the southern part of the town were not seriously damaged because they were close to the surface of the mountain. They can be fully connected within 2 days to implement joint defense.
It is estimated that the explosion in the underground arsenal was so loud that the defending Union soldiers were so frightened that they did not even bother to blow up the passage when they fled in panic, so it was relatively intact.
There is no firepower point set up in the west, and we are currently stepping up the construction of temporary firepower points. It will take at least 10 days to build and connect the dark window tunnels.
2. During the process of clearing the east, south, and north hidden window tunnels, the search force discovered two blocked tunnels leading to the mountainside. Some temporarily surviving Alliance soldiers tried to dig out and escape, but they were cleared in time.
The garrisoned soldiers monitored the situation and dealt with any abnormalities promptly while using tools to consolidate and loosen the soil to block the enemy's attempts to resist.
3. There is a hidden spot in the tunnel with a dark window to the east. There are three laser cannons and three laser cannons that have not yet been destroyed. Except for one laser cannon that was crushed, the other five were undamaged.
At that time, it can be disassembled and assembled to the west defensive position to give full play to its range of lethality.
4. To the west of the town of Sekma, it was discovered that the remaining troops of Zurich were trying to launch a ground counterattack.
When the vanguard troops tested our strength, they were blocked by remote-controlled landmines and barbed wire fences in the outer circle. Under intensive attacks from mountain artillery and firepower nets, they quickly retreated after suffering nearly a hundred casualties.
5. Blockade mines, remote-controlled bombs, barbed wire, spikes and other supplies are running out. Please replenish them as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the progress of the defense plan.
Shaher had a basic grasp of these situations, and was not surprised that the enemy was unwilling to lose and would come back.
???????????????The only surprise is that I actually harvested 5 expensive laser cannons and laser cannons.
This kind of good thing does not require a large reserve of artillery shells. It is easy to disassemble and assemble and is suitable for high defense. As long as it is not hit, it can intermittently fire death apertures to achieve range-wide damage.
The only weak point is that the energy storage time is a bit long, but it can still play a huge role in a long-term defensive battle.
As for the shortage of supplies, Shaher also had nothing to do.
There are not many similar materials stored in the bunker, but they have all been moved here. It will be a matter of time before the supply is cut off.
He has already applied to the rear. With the great contribution he has made this time and the huge fighter opportunity he has created, the big guys behind the scenes will definitely pay great attention to this and regard this as a great opportunity to achieve political goals. Manpower and transport resources to secure this rare springboard.
Tomorrow at the latest, or perhaps tonight, Zurich will be forced by the Alliance Northern Theater Command to cooperate with the artillery bombardment to counterattack and seize, in an attempt to regain the lost position.
The total number of troops stationed in the town that are capable of fighting is less than 800, and the number of people actually engaged in ground combat will be even less.
The most that can be transferred is more than 600 people.
At least 200 people must be retained for underground tunnel cleaning, reinforcement, excavation, and logistics rescue personnel.
From the analysis of the battlefield situation, there is a small mountain range less than 5 kilometers west of Sekma Town.
The bunker groups are heavily guarded, and the number of frontline troops under the control of the alliance will not be less than 5,000.
Counting the more than 1,900 remaining combatants from Zurich who withdrew, the number of combatants was 11 times that of the troops garrisoned in the town, and nearly 8 times that of the troops under his command.
There should be a lot of close-range weapons such as mountain cannons, with the minimum number being more than 100.
There may not be long-range artillery vehicles, which is the only thing to be thankful for.
In contrast, there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Once a confrontation is launched, the consequences will be less than victory and more loss. It is difficult to be optimistic.
According to estimates, the nearest reinforcements from District 12 in the northern part of Country Y are 10 kilometers away from the town.
Large-scale mobilization during the day can easily be discovered by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and it will not arrive here until after 10 pm at the earliest.
This period of time will be the best time for the opponent to counterattack. The test one hour ago is expected to be the prelude to the full counterattack.
Thinking of this, Shaher decided to adjust the step-by-step defense plan in order to cope with the possible general offensive soon.
At this moment, east of Sekma Town.
An emergency meeting was also being held in the mountain bunker.
Su Lisu hung his head dejectedly, listening to the instructions of the commander who was originally at the same level as him at the conference table, looking extremely frustrated.
Because of the defeat in the war, in accordance with military regulations, he had been demoted two levels to deputy brigade commander.
The fiery brigade commander beside him was demoted to regimental commander, and the fate of other officers who participated in the war was similar.
Fortunately, there are still some troops, this is just the initial punishment.
If the subsequent counterattack fails, their officers will be directly demoted to soldiers and serve on the front lines until the end of the war.
This is the law of war established by the alliance. Rights, responsibilities, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and victory and defeat share weal and woe.
The reason why the trial will not wait until the end of the war is because it is impossible to predict whether the core political power will change by then, and the post-war disposal may become a joke.
There is no doubt that the remaining 1,900 combatants of Zurich were the main force of the counterattack and were responsible for seizing control of the hill and gaining the commanding heights.
In view of the general distribution of troops of Country Y in District 12, in order to regain ground control of Sekma Town before the nearest reinforcements, the counterattack time is set At 8pm.
For this key point of the dividing line, the two sides are about to start a desperate struggle again.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is another severe test for Shaher.
February 3, 7pm.
According to Shaher's order, the direction of the rear bunker closest to here.
The 20 main battle tanks and 5 ammunition armored vehicles that had never been seen before moved quickly to the southwest, passing through the village close to the mountains and forests, slowly bypassing the ruins of the warehouse group, and arriving at the east side of the dividing line closest to the barbed wire fence and the minefield.
The range of 2500 to 3500 meters can roughly cover the eastern part of the town, which can be regarded as half a helping hand.
This kind of modern ordinary tank gun has always been a useless product in long-range regional operations.
The target is too big, and there is not much distance advantage. At most, it can play a good role in offensive and defensive battles.
After several generations of modifications, the small and short specifications were abandoned, and the advantages of the cannon with high muzzle velocity and long barrel were fully utilized. It evolved into a special tool for armor-piercing projectiles, full-charge anti-personnel blasting grenades and reduced-charge anti-personnel blasting grenades, becoming the enemy's special tools. The nemesis of armored transport vehicles.
Shaher's purpose of using it was simple. After the ground in the town was lost, it was used to annihilate and suppress enemy tanks and armored vehicles, or to destroy enemy firearms and fortifications.
At the same time, nearly 200 soldiers took advantage of the newly darkened night to quietly transport all 30 mountain cannons in the bunker and countless ammunition to the well-defended village.
After leaving 60 artillerymen, they continued through the warehouse complex to reinforce the town garrison.
The staff officer who led the team also brought a commendation order from the frontline headquarters and a piece of military order.
Commendation orders are of course a good thing. All combatants were awarded collective special merit and medals of honor were awarded after the war.
Shaher's command was firm and his achievements were outstanding, so he was promoted to major general, which was equivalent to being promoted from colonel to colonel and brigadier general, three levels in a row.
Major Libera and Major Istan fought bravely and annihilated a large number of enemies. They made outstanding military exploits and were promoted to colonels.
Officers at other levels will all be promoted to one rank, and will be added later based on detailed reports.
This collective special merit is normal, but the individual award was somewhat beyond Shaher's expectations.
I originally thought that I could upgrade to two levels at most, but I didn't expect that the rear would attach so much importance to encouragement. I guess I won the first prize of jumping over the dividing line.
