Do the people have power?
Yes and no.
People's resistance often stems from the inability to survive. Whether it is based on long-term oppression and taxation or a natural disaster that destroys the food harvest, the original intention of the people's resistance is only based on "having something to eat." Without an action program or a future plan, it is destined to not go far. , even if you succeed, you often go down the same old path.
In this magical world, the situation is even worse. It is difficult for the public resistance to even have a chance to become a sweeping force. A few high-level royalists can appear in large numbers and become massacres of militias.
Therefore, in this world, the people at the bottom do not have the energy to change the world in a short period of time.
If you can't resist, you can only run away, even if there is only the slightest hope of survival.
Many fool lords in the east, faced with the drastic change of demons and floating islands, would only draw more blood from the people, or simply pack up and run away. Faced with the threat of demons, the unorganized people did not want to wait for death, so they had to run away separately. road.
But now that the sectors have taken off, where can they go? After all, there are only a few people who can afford a magician with the ability to fly, and magicians do not have infinite magic power. Most people can only find a place with certain geographical advantages to hide.
This scene seems familiar to the Phoenix Kingdom, it was the same when Pettus broke into the city.
The difference is that Pettus faced all the power from the entire northern area spilling out to the east entrance. Many people were able to escape thanks to a larger proportion of hunters, low-level adventurers and the occasional conscience discovery of the lord. However, the attack density faced by these cities is not that high. Most of them are forced to flee by repeated increases in taxes. The main ones they have to face are the demons who move randomly and build nests in the wild.
Hiding in the city or in the farmland outside the city is a dead end. Although running away will have to face the demons directly, at least there is hope for survival.
This phenomenon has recently formed a trend in several sectors in the east. The 1st Regiment, 1st Battalion, 22nd Regiment, and 24th Regiment of the garrison received orders to launch rescue operations.
From the perspective of strength, the kingdom should not interfere with foreign affairs. However, from the perspective of the Three Realms War, the Phoenix Kingdom is always short of population, so such action is inevitable.
It was not until now that we took action because there were too many things going on, and our troops had to defend against the demons that occasionally came in from all directions. It was not until recently that the northern defense line of more than 300 kilometers in the dark land was almost completed, and a regiment was detached to suppress the formation. Make arrangements for rescuing people quickly, otherwise there won't be enough people by the time Pang Xun is in the planning stage.
For this round of rescue operations, not only two regiments and an elite battalion were invested, but also almost half of the 12th regiment.
...At this time, it is not appropriate to call the 12th Regiment. The 12th Regiment has been severely overstaffed in recent months, but there are not enough people to change the brigade level.
All in all, this round of operations mobilized a total of eighty Tornado IIIs, four newly commissioned Manniu propeller-type aircraft, fifteen propeller-type Wooden Men, and thirty gliding Wooden Men and related flight crews seconded from the Aviation Administration.
All transport aircraft flying across sectors must be flown in fleets, ensuring that each fleet has six escort aircraft.
There are still more than 20 aircraft that do not participate in the escort. They are scurrying around in the sky every day, grabbing flying creatures in a burst, and forming a team to clear the area near the predetermined rescue point.
The fleet responsible for expulsion and targeted attack on air units has both types A and B, and their combat functions are also somewhat different.
Type A is a gliding type with a slightly larger load capacity. It comes with a 20mm cannon integrated into the body. It can also attach external weapon modules, but it is not fast enough and is only suitable for planned clearing activities.
There are still some problems with the Type B aircraft. Because the aircraft is relatively small and uses dual engines, it can only achieve three-point mounting on the belly and wingtips. The wingtips currently only have anti-pursuit (lightning strike) modules and small cannon modules. Optional. Both must lose weight due to wingtip load issues. The 15mm cannon can only carry two hundred more warheads, and the anti-pursuit module can only throw five thunderballs.
The belly of the B-type aircraft can pull heavy-duty modules hundreds of kilograms into the sky. Take the standard cannon module as an example. This is a component with a combat take-off weight of 800 kilograms, including a 20mm cannon and 2,000 rounds of projectiles, as well as the ability to A magic module that guarantees that all projectiles will be shot out.
In the current system, the 12mm projectile weighs 38 grams, the 15mm projectile weighs 56 grams, and the single projectile of the 20mm gun flies to 135 grams. Just two thousand rounds of projectiles plus recyclable metal bullet chains weigh more than 300 kilograms. The actual weight is 800. Kilograms are really saved.
However, such a weapon is built-in as a standard feature on the gliding model, and coupled with the disadvantage of being mounted on the front wingtips, the actual sustained combat capabilities of the two are far different.
The advantage of Type B is the level flight speed of 450 kilometers per hour brought by two radial engines with a total of 800 kilowatts. It is more suitable for temporary battlefield support with a radius of several kilometers or even further. When mixed, it can make up for the shortcomings of untimely glider support. .
This formation method was also explored when guarding one's own plate.
Now it is the first time to use it in other areas where the situation is more chaotic. The family is not very reassured, so when the demon clan is targeted to eliminate the demons near the people's strongholds, they will also bring the 1st Battalion and 1st Company.
This most elite company in the army has already experimented with parachute operations. Due to the high enough quality of individual soldiers, although there were some problems with the parachutes in the early stage, no one died.
I have only carried out two parachute drills after replacing the new version of the parachute, and have never participated in actual combat, but you only know if a donkey is a horse and you have to pull it out for use.
Every time a mission is cleared at a fixed point, the company will take the Manniu transport plane one step later and wait in the sky.
Two situations require them to take action. One is that their own plane crashes, and they have to parachute in advance to try to save people. In addition, the targeted clearing went relatively smoothly, emptying out the front end of the people's strongholds. They also went down to take up positions. While holding their positions, they made preliminary arrangements for subsequent rescues.
In fact, now that airplanes are less complex and pilot training is less expensive, risking one's life to save people may lead to greater losses.
However, military camp culture must be reflected on such occasions. Otherwise, if you blow loudly, everyone will not be fighting each other in the end.
Fortunately, the demons' air combat capabilities were also very sloppy. The rescue operations lasted for a month, and there were only two early parachute landings in total.
Both times, it was not the demons who achieved zero breakthrough. The main reason was that the battlefield situation was too complicated.
Once, the density of aircraft was relatively high, and the battle lasted for a long time, causing lack of concentration. One aircraft crashed into the friendly fire net, tore off the wing and fell. The lift device could only save the two pilots from parachuting, but No hover or flight capabilities.
The other time was a Type B engine failure... two together.
This situation is rare, but when the number of aircraft arrives and the total flight time accumulates, it will always happen.
There were five attrition during the rescue process. In addition to the fighting while helping people defend the defense line and waiting for friendly forces, the total attrition in one month was 27.
This is a company, and everyone has the War Bear Medal. This company now only recruits from the first battalion, and the gap in the first battalion is selected from the whole army of the Blade Legion.
But no matter how valuable it is, it must be used when it should be used, and losses cannot be completely avoided. The names of the martyrs will always remain on the Wangtingshu Monument.
The loss of 27 soldiers of the first company and a total of 110 men of the 22nd and 24th regiments was exchanged for a total of more than 500 sorties and a population of nearly 7,000.
It was okay to continue the operation, but the superiors still felt sorry for the soldiers, and the current round of rescue ended after a month.
We cannot leave the population alone and find a way to avoid losses.
