    Chapter 53: Breaking through the Encirclement

    Wu Wei had no right to reveal too much about the secret mission of the task force to Commander Meng Xujian. Meng Xujian, who had served in the military for many years, did not ask too many questions about it.  After Wu Wei succinctly explained the combat plan of the Special Mecha Regiment, the overjoyed Meng Xujian immediately began to adjust the strategic deployment and gradually concentrated the peripheral resisting troops to the defense lines of Strong's 3rd Armored Division and 4th Infantry Division.  The rest became simple, just waiting for Yi Lexiang, who was responsible for the sneak attack on Danze from the outside, to send the news of the breakout.

    While Wu Wei and Commander Meng Xujian were anxiously waiting for news of the breakout at the headquarters of the 99th Division, Garmisch, the commander of Strong's 13th Battle Group, was greatly disappointed that the 99th Division of Charnow in the encirclement retreated without a fight.  Puzzled.  Judging from the entire tactical map, Charno's 99th Division, which was completely surrounded, was simply committing suicide.  After the Cha Rennuo people took the initiative to break away from the battle, they strengthened their electronic interference on Strong's side. The frontline troops temporarily lost traces of the main force of the 99th Division.  Garmisch, who was cautious by nature, ordered the troops to postpone the attack, and gathered with a group of staff at the frontline headquarters in Lodz to carefully study the seemingly strange battle situation.  There must be a reason for Charno's troops to do this. The question is, what are they going to do?

    Danzig, after deciphering the enemy's code, the Mecha Regiment mastered a new piece of information. Between the Mecha Regiment and the 99th Division, Strong's two heavy armor battalions of the 3rd Armored Division were trapped on the rugged mountain road.  .  In Yi Lexiang's original idea, once Danzig sent out false information, the two Strong divisions would move to the two wings to make way for the 99th Mountain Division.  At this moment, the two armored battalions trapped on the mountain road happened to be blocking the 99th Division's passage out of the mountain.

    Yi Lexiang looked at the two roadblocks marked on the tactical map, his brain running rapidly.  From the intelligence point of view, the two heavy armored battalions of the Strong people are a heavy tank battalion and a self-propelled artillery battalion, with very powerful firepower configuration.  However, whether the firepower is strong or not depends on the environment they are in.

    The heavy tank battalion is equipped with T112 heavy tanks. This behemoth with a total combat weight of 50 tons is a big killer on the battlefield. However, their power is obviously greatly reduced when they are trapped in a small, rugged and muddy mountainous area.  As for another self-propelled artillery battalion equipped with "Parano" self-propelled howitzers, Yi Lexiang was directly deleted from the battle sequence. This self-propelled artillery, which mainly uses fire support and fire suppression, has no short-range attack capabilities at all.  .  Now Yi Lexiang's idea is very simple. Since he can't avoid these two troops, just eat them all at once.

    Yi Lexiang learned from the 99th Mountain Division intelligence sent back by Wu Wei through the portable neutrino communicator that the Charno Mountain Division, which had been fighting for several weeks, had two infantry regiments, one mountain artillery regiment, and one  A self-propelled artillery battalion, an anti-armor battalion, a mountain engineer battalion and a mountain communications battalion. Although the losses in the early battles were heavy, there are still at least 30,000 troops including the remnant soldiers who originally gathered and retreated to the mountains.  Coupled with the three thousand mecha troops on the periphery, they are fully capable of eating up the two Strong's heavy armored battalions in front of them without any infantry or mecha defenses.

    The key to the problem is whether there is enough time. If you accidentally besiege the enemy's heavily armored mecha regiment and the 99th Division, they may be counter-surrounded by Strong's 13th Battle Group who react in time. After much thought, Yi Lexiang decided  It is not realistic for a breakout force of more than 30,000 people to avoid the two stranded enemy armored battalions on the winding and rugged mountain road by eating up the obstacles in front of them.

    Alt Grand Canyon, this is the name given to this nearly 500-kilometer-long grand canyon by the miners who first arrived on the Orient planet.  Strong's two armored battalions were now trapped in this area.  The topography of the Alte Grand Canyon is quite peculiar. It is trumpet-shaped from the outside to the inside. The top of the canyon is completely covered by dense vegetation. It is difficult to detect the special geological form here by aerial reconnaissance.  The two Strong heavy armor battalions were confused by the spacious passage outside the Grand Canyon and drove straight into the Grand Canyon.  But I didn't expect that it would get narrower and narrower, until I finally fell into a dilemma.  Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, if the two commanders were not too arrogant, this very ridiculous low-level mistake could actually be avoided.

    Walter cursed his arrogant and arrogant commander in a low voice and directed the T112 tank behind him to move slowly backwards.  The Strong Empire, where imperial power is supreme, has a power structure that is not much different from the European powers along the Mediterranean coast of the Earth's home planet during the Middle Ages.  The royal family and aristocracy rule everything in the empire, but 10% of the empire's nobles occupy 70% of the empire's resources.

    The idiot commander in Walter's mouth is a young commander from the imperial capital, a nobleman, who graduated from a noble military academy.  Like most aristocratic lords, they are all ardent admirers of the theory of Aryan national supremacy.  In the Strong Empire, measuring a person's social status does not depend on your talent and wisdom but on your blood. An Aryan with pure blood can enjoy noble status as soon as he is born.?? treatment.  It's as if Walter, who is of poor origin, is busy directing the chaotic armored convoy to slowly retreat out of the canyon, while the two proud noble commanders are hiding in the comfortable command car and tasting the fragrant wine without having to bear any command mistakes.  consequences.

    Amidst the huge roar of the armor, Walter seemed to hear some strange and familiar sound coming from the air. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky, but the dense green vegetation blocked his sight. He listened carefully, and it seemed that  The sound from the sky is getting closer.

    "Concealed artillery fire!" Walter, who suddenly woke up, shouted loudly and jumped from the 3-meter-high metal hatch of the T112 heavy tank to the mountain wall full of weeds and dead branches on the canyon trail. Under the influence of inertia, he fell heavily on the  on the ground.  Not caring to check whether he was injured, Walter, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly turned his head and shook his hands.  Unfortunately, the roar of the heavy tanks covered up Walter's warning. Many young soldiers looked at his seemingly crazy behavior with confusion. Several tank soldiers on the tank not far away even pointed at Walter lying on the ground in a panic and laughed, but  Soon the smiles on their faces turned to horror.

    Tsunami-like shelling covered the entire canyon, bombarding it back and forth repeatedly.  With deafening explosions, strong shock waves, various blown objects, and human flesh and blood flying everywhere, the canyon instantly became a hell on earth.  The unprepared heavy armored troops were like a small boat in the stormy sea, capsized up and down, and the cracked rocks tumbled down from the high cliffs, smashing the soldiers hiding under the mountain walls into balls of flesh.

    The dying communications soldier called the command center in vain, but the only sound coming from the electronic channel was the buzzing sound of electricity passing through. The command vehicle in the middle was directly hit by the sudden artillery fire, and the heavy armor shell was torn apart by an armor-piercing projectile.  At the mouth, two elegant and noble imperial nobles were also directly reduced to ashes in the blazing flames that could melt metal.

    The shocking explosion finally slowly stopped. Walter and some soldiers who survived the explosion fled frantically out of the canyon, but the tremors of the earth shattered their last hope.  That was the vibration caused by mechas charging in a dense formation. Soon, mechas all over the mountains and plains appeared in front of them, and the swarming torrent of steel swept past, leaving only blood and death.  And the loud sound of the Charno bugle coming from the other side of the canyon brought a heavy end to the lives of all the desperate Strong soldiers. Even to the death of Walter, he couldn't understand how the Charno people, who were surrounded by heavy siege, could not survive.  They unknowingly broke through the blockade of the two Strong divisions and appeared in front of the armored battalion, and where did the mecha group outflanking them from behind come from?

    It only took half an hour, under the front and rear attacks of the mecha regiment and the mountain division, two of Strong's heavy armor battalions completely disappeared into the Alt Grand Canyon.  Apart from the scorched earth, body parts, and burning metal debris, the only thing that echoed in the canyon was the high cheers of the Charno soldiers.

    Accompanied by Wu Wei, Commander Meng Xujian led the senior commanders of the 99th Mountain Division quickly towards Yi Lexiang, who was still directing soldiers to clear the battlefield.

    "Stand at attention, everyone, salute!" Under the leadership of Meng Xujian, all the commanders of the 99th Mountain Division saluted the man who planned the entire battle to rescue tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 99th Division from the heavy siege of the Strong people.  The young major general who came out gave his most sincere salute.

    Meng Xujian carefully looked at the shy young major general in front of him, with a childish smile on his slightly thin face. It was hard to believe that the well-planned and thunderous raid plan just now came from his hands;  The well-proportioned and slender torso and broad shoulders showed that he had a strong physique and was promised to be an excellent mecha warrior. Of course, if Meng Xujian knew that the young man standing in front of him not long ago easily killed a  He would be even more surprised by the Strong's mecha god of war; the deep black eyes under the half-downed eyelashes shone with phosphorus-like light, giving people a thoughtful and dreamlike feeling, as if they were calm.  Containing some kind of powerful spiritual power, this kind of faint coercion that should not appear on young people made Meng Xujian secretly surprised in his heart.

    "Commander Meng, it's not too late. The enemy may discover the changes here at any time. We'd better withdraw from here first, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of them if they bite our tail again." Yi Lexiang  While smiling, he explained that although his military rank was higher than that of Meng Xujian, he did not dare to rely on such a respectable veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

    Meng Xujian, who was in a good mood, laughed heartily, "Major General Yi, you are right."

    Meng Xujian turned to the commanders of the 99th Division who were standing beside him and solemnly said: "Order the troops to quickly pass through the canyon." As he spoke, he looked at the piles of metal ruins still emitting black smoke in the canyon and continued to add  "You can't blow up all the heavy equipment passing through the canyon."
