In two months, the large map in the war conference hall in the main hall of the palace area was being perfected little by little.
Reconnaissance activities are operations that face unknown dangers, and there is no doubt that people will die. The total attrition in the past two months is 300 people, half of whom were retired due to irrecoverable disabilities, and the rest died due to various circumstances.
There are only more than a hundred people, and the reconnaissance company, which has all been enhanced, has lost nearly 20 people. However, their mission area is more dangerous. Even if they use charcoal from the previous mountain fire to blacken themselves, they cannot avoid being attacked everywhere. The scurrying little devils and monsters broke through, and the loss was acceptable.
But if someone goes missing, it doesn't look good to Wang Qi.
Military operations are not about playing house. Going out on a combat mission alone like in an action movie is simply seeking death. The smallest operational unit of a reconnaissance company is a team. Although there are no separate subdivisions such as medical corps, the size is calculated based on eight people.
Disappearing in front of the entire team, it can only be said that there are too many unknown situations, and it is still an old problem. As a new force, it lacks the necessary understanding of the local situation and history.
The lives of the soldiers are not meaningless, and in exchange the regional terrain environment gradually becomes clearer.
It can be seen from the existing map that there are four main routes from the lava lake area to Wang Qi's territory.
The route does not exist alone, and there is the possibility of passing through it, but we will not consider it for the time being. The current deployment focuses on defending the march of the ground group.
From the perspective of a group march, some relatively rugged terrains do not need to be considered too much. Because they lack deployment areas, they are easy to defend. A platoon with more spare guns and ammunition can stop the flesh and blood army. As for the guns, they can't hit them. Yes, in fact, it doesn’t make much difference where it appears. It can only be tried by elite units that have been enhanced many times.
The four main routes are the routes that are easier to develop.
Among these routes, the north-west direction of the west cave group is the most dangerous. From here to the west, it has begun to break away from the volcanic belt terrain. There are hills, but the overall terrain is relatively flat. If the area is calculated, it is even enough to deploy a legion of hundreds of thousands of people. .
The terrain leading to the cave complex from the volcano is still relatively complex. It is a natural barrier, but of little use. The cave is always at risk of collapse, and in a magical world where the enemy's methods are unknown, the cave is an environment that cannot be defended and can only exist as a resource collection point.
From the westernmost open zone to the east, the second and third roads are marching lines mainly composed of valleys. The conditions in some areas are not particularly good, but as long as the daily marching speed exceeds 20 kilometers, it can ensure that every day can be placed in a sufficiently open location.
The fourth line is more than ten kilometers east of the due north line. There are probably still passable lines going east, which is a bit beyond the defense capabilities of our own military forces, so we won't consider it for the time being.
The defense focuses on the northeast direction.
Directly north of Phoenix City is a thorny terrain interspersed with hot springs. The terrain on the north side of the east city wall is relatively gentle, not flat, with a very small slope. The artificial ice forest was first chosen at this location with the intention of later converting the outside of the east city wall into an industrial area.
Less than three kilometers to the east from here, the canine tooth terrain to the north gradually becomes calmer and has a larger fighting surface. Enemies who break through the volcanic valley from the north must also exert their numerical advantage here. The prerequisite for the establishment of this combat zone is to be able to block high-quality enemies passing through the Fang Zone.
In short, the northeast direction is the main battlefield for the defensive battles of most ordinary soldiers with no attributes. The scattered fortifications started from the north of the volcanic valley. In addition to defense, they also try to gather the enemies here and bombard them with heavy weapons. of.
... Right now, heavy weapons are still in the drawing stage, and heavy industry cannot yet make seamless steel pipes long enough, but the basic idea should not change significantly.
The west side is not easy to deal with, so we can only rely on the current situation to defend. For enemies who penetrate the ice forest, if they are not frozen to death, they have to find another way.
Take out the seeds and make adjustments to the royal city and outposts.
The royal city needs to generate a new city wall in the east area. It is out of the protection range of the protective array. It can provide a certain safety environment for logistics transportation in low-intensity battles. If there is time later, an additional smaller protective array can be deployed. .
South Town needs to strengthen its defenses.
South Town is an important node that connects the royal city to the outside world. Even if its own production of timber and iron ore is not counted, and only the protection of railway safety is considered, South Town's role cannot be ignored.
In addition, facing a large-scale war, Nanzhen also needs help to keep an eye on whether any enemies are leaving the south side of the Ice Forest.
The two outpost seeds are much worse than the earliest royal city seed. Although the theoretical functions can be as complex, in fact, because the number of pages of drawings given in the "data book" is not enough, it is difficult to make particularly complex organ specializations.
The "data book" can be redrawn after each seed injection, but the access method for upgrading information and the growth plan take up more than half of the page. The rest is not enough to implement a new function. New functions and new plans, To be divided into two times. Because there were many outposts, Wang Qi had to back up and archive the drawings for every change at each outpost, and he had to re-compare each new drawing, which was very time-consuming.
In short, three to four upgrades were used to adjust the garrison in South Town to a thousand city defense troops, which could also accommodate a temporary garrison camp.
The situation in the lava lake developed unexpectedly slowly. According to the early observations of the expedition team and the garrison, Wang Qi thought that the lava lake would become cold in a few months, but this was not the case.
It is unknown whether it is due to cracks in the mantle or the accumulation of surrounding underground lava. The lava lake now covers an area of at least 20,000 square kilometers. The surface still maintains a dark red state, and there are repeated places where black stones have appeared.
If there was no interference from magic to allow it to evolve naturally, it would probably take only ten or eight years to complete the surface hardening.
It's not too slow for a large comet to cool down after it hits for decades, but it's a bit long for a mortal like Wang Qi. If we wait until then to enter the group fight period, maybe the lava lake will be surrounded by magic cannons .
Starting from the goals of increasing the war victory rate and reducing population losses, we should focus on those things that may cause the lake surface to cool prematurely.
It can be said that it is really difficult to do it.
There is still a large amount of incandescent lava on the lake surface. Not to mention this kind of area, even if you move on the seemingly hardened ground, you may be blown to death by the hot wind of hundreds of degrees at any time.
Therefore, attack positions can only be deployed in the outer circle where the air temperature is lower and has definitely cooled down, or further away.
The distance from the center is estimated to be more than 70 kilometers. Even with magic cannons, it is impossible to strike accurately because there is more or less volcanic ash above the lava area, so it is impossible to see that far away.
However, maybe killing a few who run to the edge can delay the all-out war. Even if it is only for a few days or ten, it is still worth trying. This type of equipment is the direction of weapon development.
The growth rate of Xincheng Heavy Industries is not enough. There are too many courses in the design institute, and they need to be given time to improve their strength.
How about hiring some external mages to do work that doesn't require special confidentiality?
The guys at the prop shop are not good at it. Although they have just completed the Royal City Protection Formation, there is still testing, debugging and other work to do.
The big players in Red Rock City may be able to help.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
