Garmisch stood with a livid face on the charred land of the town of Danze that had long been reduced to ruins. Buried in the ground beneath his feet were the remains of 125 of the Empire's best Royal Guardsmen. Next to him is a burly middle-aged man wearing a major general uniform. He has regular features, a pair of light blue eyes full of anger, and his slightly trembling lips can tell that he is barely suppressing his inner excitement. He is this time Operation Strong Major General Irvine, commander of the 3rd Battalion Royal Guards.
Since entering the war, the invincible Royal Guards have never suffered such heavy casualties on the land of Charno. Faced with mutilated corpses blown up by intensive artillery fire, faced with such humiliating "Glory of the Empire" The way to die, Erwin felt that the hot blood rushing in his head almost broke through the swollen head of his head. He could imagine the huge storm caused when this incident or "scandal" was reported back to the upper echelons of the empire. The angry Emperor would probably crush him into pieces to vent his anger. Erwin's face looked a little pale when he thought of this, and Lieutenant General Garmisch standing next to him obviously also thought of this, and his face didn't look very good either. Leaving the bewildered staff aside, the two men walked aside and muttered something in a low voice, and soon a consensus was reached between the two frightened hearts to temporarily conceal the truth. Strictly worded orders were issued to Strong's troops one after another, with only one theme: to step up the search for the 99th Mountain Division of the missing Charno people. The shame of blood can only be washed away with blood. That damn mountain division must be wiped out! At this moment, the angry and frightened two people did not realize that there was a special mecha regiment unknown to them hidden on Orite, and the development of the war situation gradually escaped their control.
As for the next move of Charno's troops, the staffs of both sides in the joint command headquarters composed of the Mecha Regiment and the 99th Division had different opinions, and there were differences.
The staff of the former 99th Division who had just escaped from the encirclement generally tended to hide in the desolate desert Gobi to wait for reinforcements or simply evacuate Orit's planet. At this moment, Orit's fall is a foregone conclusion and there is no practical significance in holding on. And in their opinion, since the mecha regiment can suddenly appear on the planet Orite, there may be a task force interstellar battleship hidden somewhere in outer space, which means that they are fully qualified and capable of organizing an evacuation operation. .
The staff of the mecha regiment headed by Wu Wei did not have many opinions on withdrawing to the desert area, but they were firmly opposed to withdrawing to the battleship in space. The coordinates of the battleship in space are related to the lives and safety of the tens of thousands of task force soldiers on it, as well as the safety of the entire task force left on the Annoki planet, and nothing can be lost. What's more, Orit's original Seventy-sixth Star Fleet was defeated in Strong's raid. The evacuation operation without air cover could easily expose the secret of the task force's existence. Now it is even more impossible for the combat staff of the 99th Division to want to use warships to evacuate.
When leaving Anokhi, all the soldiers on the mission were told that they must strictly guard all the secrets of Anokhi and defend the last pure land of Charno to the death. How can we allow people from the Mountain Division to board the mothership hidden in space? The most important thing is that the mission of the Mecha Regiment has been completed at this moment. After rescuing the 99th Division, Wu Wei has obtained complete information from Commander Meng Xujian. According to the original plan, the special mecha regiment should all evacuate Orite Planet now.
Meng Xujian was greatly puzzled by the persistence of the Mecha Regiment. No matter what kind of secret mission the task force performed back then, the entire Charno Republic was in dire straits at the moment. What was the point of continuing to keep such a secret? Woolen cloth? Even if this secret is very important to the Republic, it must first defeat the enemies that are invading the Republic. He couldn't help but glance at Yi Lexiang, who had been silent. As the highest-ranking person in the entire command, his opinion was crucial.
"If you want to evacuate Orit through our channels, I can only say sorry." Yi Lexiang interrupted the noisy parties. Wu Wei and the others were right. The staff of the 99th Division did not understand the specific situation and based on There was no way to explain anything to them under the confidentiality regulations, which gave Yi Lexiang a headache.
"Why? Is your life so precious?" A young combat staff officer of the 99th Division asked loudly with a sneer. The staff officer looked at the shining military rank on Yi Lexiang's shoulders and felt a little uncomfortable. The young major general is probably not the nephew of some big boss! At this moment, seeing that Yi Lexiang's words were euphemistic but directly rejected the evacuation plan they just proposed, he felt even more angry.
Pang Hai, who was next to him, secretly said "Oh no". Although he had not worked with this young major general for a long time, he had some understanding of his temper. Even though he is always kind and amiable, from what happened with Wu Wei and the others, it can be seen that if Yi Lexiang is provoked, there will be no good results.
Meng Xujian¡¯s heart also skipped a beat. Although it was his first time contacting Yi Lexiang,But many years of experience told him that the young man in front of him was a decisive and decisive master. Just look at the battle plan he formulated to win in a dangerous situation and take the wrong approach. I'm afraid this young staff officer of mine was in trouble for being so contradictory. He was about to scold him, but was stopped by Yi Lexiang's sharp shout.
"Presumptuous!" Yi Lexiang raised his sword eyebrows, and there was a hint of anger on his young face. Is there any reason for this? I saved you from the enemy's siege without credit but also hard work. Now, not only did I come to my headquarters to point fingers, but I also openly questioned a major general of the Republic.
For the first time, Yi Lexiang had a profound understanding of some of the inherent evils of human beings.
Angry Yi Lexiang slapped the makeshift conference table in front of everyone. The simple conference table groaned in pain a few times and then collapsed. Dust flew into the air. The sudden burst of spiritual power enveloped the entire conference room, and everyone was silent.
Yi Lexiang¡¯s sudden outburst not only shocked Meng Xujian, but also shocked the staff of the mecha regiment. Yi Lexiang, who originally had a friendly face and smiled all day long, now had a fierce look on his face, which was very different from his usual amiable look.
"Are you trying to spy on military secrets?" Yi Lexiang suppressed the evil fire in his chest and pointed at Commander Meng Xujian sitting on his left, "Even your Commander Meng has no right to interfere with the mecha regiment's affairs. I'm telling you right now, the secret mission on Orit of the Mecha Regiment has been completed, and you can evacuate at any time." Yi Lexiang sneered a few times, "If your 99th Division doesn't have an order from the headquarters, ask your division commander how dare you Don't you dare to evacuate Orite without authorization?" Meng Xujian rubbed his itchy nose in embarrassment. This young man was really merciless in his speech!
Yi Lexiang's words are indeed true. As a division commander, he has no right to issue such an order. However, he glanced at Yi Lexiang, who was full of anger, and it seemed that you, a general, could do it. However, his staff officer offended others, so it was not convenient for him to say these words at this moment.
The young staff officer opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Meng Xujian glared back.
What happened in the command room made the staff officers on both sides feel a little embarrassed. The noisy command room gradually became quiet.
Meng Xujian stood up and said with a wry smile: "Major General Yi, my subordinates are incompetent in running the army. I am ashamed, I am ashamed." He reminded his somewhat oblivious staff officers in such a subtle way that the commander here is not your division commander. But this young man who is only in his twenties. Yi Lexiang also secretly smiled bitterly at Meng Xujian and Xini's approach, and cursed "old fox" secretly.
After Meng Xujian¡¯s interruption, he was embarrassed to continue pursuing the young staff officer, otherwise it would appear that he was too narrow-minded.
After exposing his unhappiness, Yi Lexiang continued: "I don't agree with the withdrawal of the 99th Division to the desert area. The Strong people have control of the air, and the flat desert Gobi is not conducive to the 99th Division's operations, and the mountain division is not suitable for operations in the desert. Fight in the plains. My opinion is to fight guerrillas here." Yi Lexiang said while drawing a large circle on the holographic tactical map with his hand, "Auschwitz and Krakow areas. This is Orit's territory. In the mining area, there are a large number of abandoned factories and dense hills. The mountain hunters' accurate marksmanship and good physical strength make it easier to deal with the enemy; as long as they avoid being surrounded by the enemy again, it will be difficult for the Strong's hundreds of thousands of ground troops to survive. Eat the mountain divisions. Moreover, there is a complex transportation network here that can be used to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend. It is an excellent place for guerrilla warfare." At this point, Yi Lexiang paused for a moment, and then continued after thinking about it: "Orit We have just reported the situation to the command headquarters and are now waiting for further instructions. Our first priority now is to survive in the enemy's cracks."
Meng Xujian carefully studied the tactical map and had a deeper understanding of Yi Lexiang's unusual command style, but he had to admit that Yi Lexiang's view was correct. The 99th Division, which had lost its air power cover, fled into The desert is indeed a dead end. On the contrary, breaking into the hinterland controlled by the Strong people has the charm of "risking death to survive". There are many Charnos living in the Auschwitz and Krakow areas, so the problem of personnel replenishment and material support for the Mountain Division is also solved, and if the Strong offensive is too fierce, it can be broken into pieces. Hiding troops among the people is indeed a way of "advancing to attack, retreating to defend."
Nodding gently, Meng Xujian basically agreed with Yi Lexiang's combat plan.
