"The Stars Group is building the railway?!"
The latest intelligence obtained from the Badra garrison was like a bolt from the blue to the red-eyed Nasser. The huge pressure brought by the Star Group's action forced him to abandon the Amadanai troops that had surrounded Mehran. Turning to the back of his head, he concentrated on reading the news from Baidra.
Thanks to a considerable number of our own technical soldiers who have received formal electronic countermeasures training, even though Armadana Corporation has tried its best to conduct electronic jamming against them, the defenders of the Renaissance Front are still able to maintain normal levels of communications.
If the equipment levels of both sides are exactly the same, it's hard to say what the outcome of this battle will be.
"If the intelligence is true, even if two or even three regiments are wiped out in exchange for the temporary departure of the Star Group, it is a good deal..."
Nasser touched the map in front of him with his hand. The scratches made by the dagger were still clearly visible, which reminded him of how he got the scars on his face.
Never be merciful at a time of life and death.
His eyes followed the pattern of scratches all the way to the outskirts of Baidra - soldiers are very fast, and whether to fight or not, he needs to make a decision as soon as possible.
After once again counting the power he currently has and may have in the future, Nasser asked the supreme commander of the Badra garrison and his confidant, Colonel Iyad Balawi, a man with a kind-faced face like an old country farmer. The simple middle-aged man gave the order to take the initiative.
Colonel Balawi once troubled the Middle East coalition government forces with his cunning strategic thinking and military methods. He received an orthodox military school education and even published a military book after combining more than ten years of guerrilla warfare experience. , has been highly praised by many international military scientists.
But this does not change the fact that he is working for one of the world's largest anti-human thugs - General Nasser.
Balawi, who had a similar experience to Nasser, could be described as loyal. Although he was not interested in the religious theories used by Nasser to brainwash him, his ideals were basically the same as the purpose of taking over the country by the Al-Nathrih Front.
Unfortunately, after losing a decisive battle with the government forces many years ago, the Renaissance Front had to retreat to a remote corner. Since then, it has lost the opportunity to play a leading role on the stage of the Middle East Alliance. It can only watch batch after batch of foreign forces absorbing the Middle East. Alliance blood.
In fact, the quick-thinking Balawi is not optimistic about the outcome of this war. The best outcome is probably that a group of high-level members of the Renaissance Front, including himself, secretly abscond overseas. The forces that have worked so hard will be uprooted by the victors, making it difficult for them to make a comeback. Chance.
But this is all a matter for the future, Balawi thought. The top priority now is to destroy the railway transportation line that the Star Group is approaching Badela at an hourly rate, so as to prevent the refugees who have become "war resources" from escaping. A city full of blood, tears and despair.
After much deliberation, the colonel devised a foolproof plan.
First, a cannon fodder infantry regiment consisting of 2,000 people went to the suburban station to verify the accuracy and authenticity of the coordinates. If there was fraud, he would not be too distressed to lose these old, weak, sick and disabled people with the lowest combat effectiveness.
If the intelligence is correct and there is indeed something happening at the suburban station, then these two thousand people will move forward along the railway line, followed by two elite infantry regiments carrying heavy firepower, responsible for completely destroying friendly forces after they detect the situation. Important construction nodes and camps ensure that the Stars Group will be unable to continue repairing the railway in a short period of time.
As for the weak defensive force mentioned in the intelligence, Balawi couldn't help but sneer at the person who made this statement. This is obviously an idea that comes from people who have no military knowledge at all. No commander would be willing to give up important supply bases such as railway hubs and large airports as long as there is still a little bit of spare power.
Regarding the estimate of the garrison strength, Balawi made the boldest guess-three fully equipped mechanized infantry regiments.
You must know that the entire force deployed by Qunxing Group on the front line is only two full mechanized brigades. According to the establishment of three regiments and one brigade, two brigades and three regiments are already greatly dispersed.
Unsurprisingly, the commander of the other side should be Ramsey, who is known for his ruthlessness and caution. The deployment of troops from the three regiments is definitely the limit of what that man can do.
On the face of it, there was a huge disparity in strength between himself and the Qunxing Group. Not to mention three full regiments, even if there was only one regiment, Balawi was not optimistic about whether his three melons and two jujubes could defeat the powerful enemy.
If it were placed in a serious field battle, Balawi would never fight with the local tycoon troops of the Star Group. Because no matter from which aspect, the Renaissance Front has no advantage at all - fighting against the robot army of the world's largest arms group for attrition and battle losses? This is not the way to seek death!
However, the different goals of the two sides make the colonel full of confidence in whether he can complete the mission. One is to carefully protect every inch of the rails from being damaged. The breakage of any section of the railway will bring a lot of trouble to the Stars Group.
As for himself, he only needs to pour out all the long-range firepower of the troops.
Confirm the coordinates and fire all the rockets on the rocket launcher. It's that simple - the two heavy infantry regiments are equipped with a total of twenty-four rocket launchers, each carrying forty rockets with a range of more than 20 kilometers. projectiles, and each rocket can fly at twice the speed of sound until it hits its target.
Especially for fixed targets such as construction sites and railways, the slightly larger error of the rocket is not unacceptable.
In just one minute, 960 rockets weighing nearly 80 kilograms can completely cover a railway section that is several kilometers long. Even if the Stars Group has the ability to intercept most of them, as long as a hundred or even dozens of rockets complete their mission, Balawi is sure that the Stars Group's railway repair plan will be completely ruined.
"Not bad, Nasser has to thank me properly this time."
He raised the small pipe he made by himself, filled it with shredded tobacco and lit it. After taking a few puffs, he picked up the phone on the table and ordered into the phone in a serious tone that was different from the past: "Let the third party immediately, Fourth, the 20th Infantry Regiment gathered urgently, there are important tasks that need them to complete."
After confirming that the officer on the other end of the phone understood his unusual order, Balawi hung up the phone with one hand and started smoking a pipe with the other hand, planning the days after his defeat and escape.
Suddenly, the colonel began to pace around the room uneasily. He seemed to smell a strong smell of blood from the rich aroma of tobacco. This reminded him of a street fortune teller he met as a child, who once predicted his future with a mysterious utterance.
"When a great mission comes from heaven, the stars are dimmed; when the beast comes to an end, the stars shine brightly."
"The great beast is coming, the stars are shining..."
Balawi repeatedly recalled the words of the fortune teller at that time in his heart, and his uneasiness became deeper and deeper. Different from all the critical moments he had experienced, this ominous premonition had reached a level that he could not ignore, like a dark dragon coiling around his heart, opening its bloody mouth and preparing to devour countless people. Life as tribute.
After much hesitation, the colonel chose to trust his instincts. I saw him picking up the microphone again and adding to the officer on the other end: "Add basic equipment to the 20th Infantry Regiment. Thirdly, the number of rocket launcher vehicles assigned to the 4th Infantry Regiment will be increased to 40. Individual anti-tank weapons." The issuance will be doubled, and if the inventory is insufficient, it will be distributed from the hands of the urban garrison!"
Putting down the microphone in his hand, Balawi felt that his inner uneasiness had not diminished much, but he had done his best.
Everything depends on whether the fighting will of the holy warriors and their careful preparation can reverse the huge disadvantage caused by the equipment gap.
At the same time, an armored train that closely resembled the image of the dragon in Balawi's heart was slowly accelerating from Dehloran Station to Baidra. The power system powered by nuclear fission reactors allows this steel behemoth with more than ten carriages and a weight of nearly a thousand tons to run faster than many high-speed passenger trains.
After combining the ship-type nano-armor and traditional composite armor of the Star World, ordinary equivalent homogeneous armor calculations cannot describe how strong this train's anti-strike capability is. The complete three-defense system from beginning to end - nuclear defense, biological defense, and chemical defense allows it to fight in the worst battlefield conditions.
There is no need to say much about the firepower configuration, because soon the troops of the Renaissance Front will face this terrifying armored behemoth, using their own wails and lives to kick off her low-key debut.
As Ramsey said in his conversation with Yang Tianyi - steel does not bleed, but people do.
