Blackbird Heavy Industries lost its intercontinental missile launch capability.
Not only were the five missile silos destroyed, but many intercontinental missiles around the silos were destroyed.
It will not be easy for them to rebuild this capability in the short term. For at least a few months, they no longer have to worry about this problem. Whether it is to rebuild missile silos or replenish the number of missiles, it is not a task that can be completed overnight.
Before the Space Marines destroyed those missile silos, according to statistics, at least 500 intercontinental missiles had been launched across the alliance. Among them, most of the missiles were still aimed at Fuxing City, Weixing City, and the frontline troops; in addition, there were a total of 80 missiles that fell on Chatan City, Gaota City, and Beigong City. Jibei Industrial City was renamed. .
No missiles were encountered in other places.
It is estimated that areas further east, such as Skaro City and Xiongya City, are beyond the range of Blackbird's cruise missiles. As for other places in the Beiqinggu region, which are vast and sparsely populated, people will not use missiles to blow up farmland; some other areas in the Central Central Province, the Gaota Province, and the Central and Northern Provinces also have some industrial value. , and there was no air defense force at all, but after all, the industrial distribution was very scattered, and the intelligence was unclear, so it was not cost-effective to bomb it, so it was not hit.
Weixing City and Fuxing City received the highest frequency of attacks, but most of the missiles directed here were intercepted, especially Wei Xing City, which was not hit once after that. That was because Gu Hang went there himself and helped intercept the missiles that were not blocked by the Reflector air defense system.
However, when he went to Weixing City, Fuxing City was unlucky. After several waves of strikes, a small number of missiles still fell and bombed neighborhoods, residential areas and factories.
But all in all, the losses are relatively controllable. Air raid sirens were sounded over the two cities early, and those who should evacuate evacuated, and those who should stay home, stayed home. Even though some residential areas suffered war damage and two buildings were destroyed, the number of casualties was limited to less than fifty people.
The worst conditions are Chatan City, Gaota City, and Beigong City.
Although Beigong City has some air defense systems left over from the Jibei Industrial Group, their level is definitely not comparable to that of reflectors, and their interception efficiency is not very good either.
As for the North Valley and the High Tower, there is no air defense system at all and they are purely bombed.
According to subsequent statistics, these three cities were bombarded by dozens of missiles, resulting in a total of more than 5,000 casualties
This was during the first wave of missile attacks. After arriving, all cities that raised alarms evacuated people, stopped work and production, and those who could hide in air-raid shelters took shelter, while those who couldn't went home and shivered.
But even so, the Alliance still suffered heavy casualties.
Preliminary and rough statistics show that there is a total loss of millions of tax dollars from population to buildings to industries to goods.
Gu Hang’s right and wrongVery distressed.
The most distressing thing is the loss of population. Of the 5,000 casualties, even if more than 3,000 were only injured, at least half of them could eventually regain their productive and labor capacity after a period of medical assistance, but this was still a huge loss.
But he still had to be thankful that the work of the Space Marines was outstanding. In the shortest possible time, they eliminated the threat to the alliance from the Blackbird's intercontinental missiles.
The bombing of five hundred missiles brought a loss of one million tax coins. Of course, the Blackbird's ammunition reserves were far more than that. If this number is really increased tenfold, the loss of tens of millions will definitely be unstoppable.
Beitan City is the capital of Beiqinggu Province and is the alliance's most important food processing center and food transportation hub; Gaota City is the alliance's important resource collection and primary processing base, as well as the energy base. Just the devastating blow to these two places would cost more than tens of millions, not to mention that Beigong City can almost be regarded as the second largest industrial center in the alliance after inheriting the legacy of the Far North Industry.
It can be said that this attack by the Space Marines saved the Alliance from losses of at least 20 million tax coins and saved countless lives.
This incident also reminded Gu Hang and taught the alliance a profound lesson.
Under his instructions, Wei Xingcheng has begun to focus on expanding the production line of reflectors.
Four models, vehicle type, air defense type, naval gun type, and orbital type are all put on the production schedule.
The specifications of these four models are arranged from small to large. The vehicle type is already in mass production and is used on the Lion tank and the Falcon; the air defense type was only produced on a small scale before, but now production must be increased; the naval gun type will also be produced, and will be followed in the future. It is useful on the Alliance's traveler spacecraft. Although this thing is not even a patrol ship, it can at least be equipped with a naval gun-type reflector.
As for the orbital type, it can be used for ground anti-orbital warfare. It can directly shoot laser cannons from the ground into space, allowing the alliance to fight back when encountering orbital strikes in the future. Build on the starport and turn the starport into an armed starfort.
In fact, Thaddeus has already received a mission from Gu Hang to start preparations to cover the entire alliance orbital air defense system. The main equipment he relies on is the reflector.
As for the Blackbirds at the moment, the Alliance did not just take a beating but did not fight back. They also fought back in equal measure.
The Blade Tiger was in orbit and carried out orbital bombing of Blackbird City for a whole day. It did not stop until the ammunition reserves were empty.
The Blackbirds are not like the Alliance's missile silos against them. They have no countermeasures against orbital bombing. They neither have the anti-orbital firepower to fight against the Blade Tiger, nor the ability to project a team of elite troops to log onto the starship.
Then you can only get bombed.
It’s a pity that this is the Blade Tiger, noIt's the Quintet. Otherwise, Blackbird City's loss will definitely not be the outer city. The entire core city will be blown to pieces, and even the energy shield will not work.
However, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t blow up for a while. You can replenish the ammunition and continue bombing in a few days.
Some large shells, such as the Wrath of the Faithful on the previous Quintet, or even the Heat Hammer, cannot be made by the Alliance. But for reflectors and defenders, there is no problem.
Especially the reflector. The reflector on the Blade Tiger is a naval gun type, but the technical specifications are universal. The Alliance is fully capable of giving the Blade Tiger high-quality energy batteries, allowing them to let go. Keep bombing.
What if the core area is saved? There is a Blade Tiger flying in orbit. If there is a large-scale transportation of materials, then blow it up; if a large-scale gathering of frontline troops is detected, then blow it up. I have the orbital advantage, so this battle will be many times easier to fight.
In fact, the war on the front line has officially begun.
The alliance's army has already met the enemy's vanguard in the desert.
However, so far, the scale of the battle is not large.
The alliance's 250,000 troops have established a long defense line from south to north in the desert.
The entire Western Desert region is bounded by the sea to the west of Beiqing Valley in the south and the Beihai in the north. The span is very large. Only 250,000 people are not enough to cover such a large defense line. If that were to be done, the huge defense span would spread the troops very thin, and the poor roads would cause catastrophic difficulties for the alliance's supply lines.
Based on this premise, Major General Yan Fangxu, as the supreme commander of the front line, adopted a strategy of comprehensive marking and focused defense.
The so-called comprehensive surveillance refers to the arrangement of a large number of scattered small units, driving patrols, and the establishment of numerous sentry points. This coverage area is not bad, plus the Air Force brothers are driving the Wind Falcon to conduct patrols and reconnaissance around the clock. It is hoped that in this way, the enemy will be prevented from crossing the defense line.
The so-called key defense refers to the deployment of troops on the desert road, in batches, in layers, with multiple divisions as one unit, building a three-dimensional multi-layered defense line, and controlling the area with points. .
Through this method, Yan Fangxu controlled a defense line of 3,000 kilometers from north to south with 26 divisions and brigades, totaling 250,000 people. The focus is on the main artery of the Desert Avenue and several oases in the north-south direction; as for the ends of the 3,000-kilometer north-south length and the vast desert area, we can only rely on the air force and patrol teams to see .
Of course, this Yang’s control is very weak, but Yan Fangxu has no other way.
Compared with the area he wants to control, the troops he has on hand are still too few.
The more important point is that based on the information returned by the personnel collecting intelligence behind enemy lines and the cross-border reconnaissance of the Air Force, Yan Fangxu discovered that the enemy did not seem to adopt the strategy of massing heavy troops and making key breakthroughs. tactics. The enemy troops dispersed intoMany small groups seemed to be trying to penetrate and penetrate the three thousand kilometers of vertical defense line.
No matter whether these Blackbird mechanical legions want to penetrate directly into the hinterland of the alliance during their interlude, or whether they want to engage in encirclement and annihilation tactics in the environment of the Western Desert, they cannot be allowed to succeed. of.
For this reason, Yan Fangxu had to adopt this strategy to deal with it, and the two sides gradually began to fall into the quagmire of a small war.
Looking at it alone, the scale of the battle is not large. It is mainly fought at the squad and platoon level, and the highest level does not rise to the company level. However, the frequency of battles is very high. In serious battles, the losses of personnel and equipment are not small.
As for Yan Fangxu, he couldn't stand this situation anymore.
He is planning a big operation.
Mikkel Nielsen, the political commissar of the Central Army Group with the rank of brigadier general, worriedly asked Yan Fangxu, "Is this a little too radical? The clear instructions given to us by the Governor-General require us to fight under the fire of war." On the premise of burning the alliance's homeland, do you try to adopt a defensive posture? As a result, you are now going to order our army to launch a full-scale attack to the west, and you also want the Xifeng Brigade to form an armored group and advance three hundred kilometers in two days."< /p>
While Nelson was questioning, his eyes never left the combat sandbox placed in front of him and Yan Fangxu.
This phantom sand table is also a high-end product. It was imported by the Governor through Gu's Trading Company. After inputting the parameters, multiple servo skulls calculate together, and through special imaging technology, three-dimensional image combat maps of different scales can be displayed, supporting zooming in and out.
The virtual sand table covers almost the entire Western Desert region and the western part of the northern border, from the bay in the south to the cliff strait in the north. The alliance's military information is all reflected here, in the form of models of small figures, cars, and tanks, with the number and flag of the unit on them.
At the same time, on the opposite side of the legion, there are red flags one after another, representing the enemy's army.
Of course, this information is not updated in real time, but relies on the staff team to collect and input data from various front lines according to specific technical rules. Information about the enemy must be collected through various investigation methods. Since we don't keep the truth and don't know the specific number of the enemy, we can only make up a code name and mark it with the approximate strength and composition of the enemy's troops.
Currently, on the shadow sand table in this chapter, there are already densely packed attack arrows that have been drawn.
These arrows represent Yan Fangxu’s plan.
Almost all division and brigade level units have the requirement to attack forward. The most exaggerated among them is that the 1st Brigade, 3rd Brigade, 46th and 47th Brigades have assembled into an armored group on the West Desert Avenue. They have to advance 300 kilometers westward along the avenue, passing through countless The red flag logo, the mostFinally arrived at an oasis called Tail Scorpion.
There, it is said to be a key logistics supply center of the Blackbird Army.
Blackbird’s robots, robot dogs, drones, unmanned combat vehicles, and unmanned self-propelled artillery do not need to eat, but ammunition supplies are still necessary. Moreover, their demand for fuel, electricity and other energy logistics supplies is much higher than that of the human army.
Destroying the enemy's reserves in this area can indeed greatly reduce the difficulty of the battle, which can be regarded as a brilliant result.
But
the difficulty is too high.
Nelson hesitated.
But Yan Fangxu has his own views on this.
"You are right. The Governor's order is indeed defense. But, Nelson, we have to see through the phenomenon to see the essence. What is the purpose of the Governor asking us to be on the defensive? Hope in the Star Boundary Before the arrival of the army, we must control the losses in our independent battle with the Blackbirds and let the Astra Militarum come forward to solve the problem. It does not mean that we can just hold on like this forever."
"But the current situation obviously does not support us doing this."
"Those iron monsters did not dare to fight us in groups, and even let go of control of the Desert Avenue and turned to small groups for infiltration , interspersed. In order to stop them, our soldiers also divided into small groups and fought bloody battles with them in the desert."
"This is not our advantage at all, half. In the past month, we have lost more than 4,000 people, and we cannot continue to bleed like this."
"We must take a heavy blow before we can survive." Please remember to bookmark the website. The latest and fastest way to find and add books for free without anti-theft. You can join the qq group 952868558
