They said they wanted to fight faster, but the alliance still fought on the Western Front for half a year.
When the war was going on for almost a month, the 700,000 Astra Militarum troops behind them had already arrived at the front line.
With a total of 1.3 million troops, the coalition forces will be considered unstoppable in the next five months. However, in certain battle situations, they will be temporarily suppressed by the mechanical army of Blackbird Heavy Industries.
This also reflects from the side how nonsense Cai Minjin’s original idea of producing results in three weeks, ending the battle in six weeks, and rushing back to the Falches Galaxy to celebrate the New Year was nonsense.
If Yan Fangxu had to say what the root cause was, he thought it was that the Astral Army of the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion was not as effective as expected.
Strictly speaking, according to the most standard requirements of the empire, the combat effectiveness of the Astra Militarum should be very strong. In terms of the quality of the soldiers, they should be one of the best.
Under the training of the Governor's magical new army camp, the Alliance's army can meet the minimum requirements of the Astra Militarum for new recruits.
However, this is not the case.
As far as Yan Fangxu saw, the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion was a serious Star Empire Army organization. Although it was not a well-known army, it should not be worse than the Alliance's army.
But in fact, it is a grade worse.
Just take a so-called large-scale division as an example. Generally, there are nine reinforced regiments. Only about two of them can reach the level of alliance soldiers. The remaining few cannot be said to be just a make-up. , definitely stronger than ordinary soldiers. For example, the Luman Kingdom soldiers encountered on Black Arrow Star were far inferior to them.
However, compared to the level of Alliance soldiers, it is still a bit lower.
This is only a matter of the quality of the soldiers. Yan Fangxu still doesn't like the equipment of these people.
This group of Astra Militarum troops don’t even have enough troop transport vehicles.
If the Alliance did not have sufficient logistical support and mobilized a large number of civilian vehicles and newly built trains to help with transportation, these Astra Militarum troops would have to travel three to four thousand kilometers on two legs. distance and came to fight on the battlefield on the Western Front.
Then the battle is about to be over, and these people may not even be able to leave.
The alliance's army, even the third-line garrison division, is a combination of infantry and heavy artillery, but the number is just a little smaller. However, these so-called large-organized divisions of the Astra Militarum do not have the term "combined troops". An infantry regiment is an infantry regiment, an artillery regiment is an artillery regiment, and an armored regiment is an armored regiment.
Yan Fangxu didn’t comment much on this. Maybe it’s just that the military philosophy is different. Maybe these people from the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion feel that heavy firepower and armor should be concentrated and used. This in itself is not considered Wrong place.
Organizing the army in this way may be able to exert stronger power in some decisive battle scenarios
But it doesn’t matter whether you are engaged in concentrated firepower, concentrated armor, or an alliance army This kind of multi-arms combined force can also mobilize firepower and armor when necessary.Come on, the total number of various types of firepower and technical equipment must be sufficient
Under one large division, they have a total strength of more than 40,000, which is comparable to the alliance's four divisions and brigades. But there is only one armored regiment in it, with a total of more than 100 armored vehicles and 40 tanks.
Compared with the Xifeng Brigade, there are only more than 9,000 people, 80 tanks, and more than 200 armored vehicles.
The armored vehicles and tanks of a Xiefeng Brigade are comparable to two large divisions of the Dragon Eagle Legion.
This is not a gap, what is a gap
Even if we look at pure infantry, whether it is the infantry company in the combined brigade or the troops under the infantry division, they have all completed motorization. All have military vehicles dedicated to the squad level; each squad has two to three rocket launchers, each platoon has one to two mortars; each company has a heavy bolter as a fire support point.
The infantry regiments of the Astra Militarum also have these things, but they are all concentrated at the regiment level, and they are not as good in quantity.
Differences in the quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment caused differences in the actual performance of the two sides during the six months of fighting.
Often, at the same time, the offensive efficiency of a large division of the Astra Militarum with a strength of 40,000 is about the same as that of two divisions and brigades of the Alliance with a strength of 20,000.
The Alliance can use half of its troops to achieve the same results as these Dragon Eagle Legion soldiers.
During the six months of fighting on the Raging Owl Star, Cai Minjin did not cause any trouble. He just acted as the second-in-command in the coalition and took care of his own territory.
On the one hand, it was the legitimacy and status that were suppressed by Martins; on the other hand, it was also the combat capabilities shown by the alliance army in actual combat that really left him speechless. explain.
However, in the last stage of the war, a conflict still occurred between the two sides.
That was when all the enemies had been wiped out, leaving only the last strategic target, Blackbird City.
Martins formulated an attack plan, and the spearhead was the Alliance army.
However, Cai Minjin raised a rare objection here.
This has not happened in the past six months.
Martins and Yan Fangxu also understood what General Cai was thinking.
He may have come with a mission.
Faches is certainly not the master of the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion, but they have a strong influence on this army whose soldiers and supplies basically come from the three worlds of the Faches galaxy. It was normal for Cai Minjin to receive any special orders when he set out.
And this order must be related to Blackbird Heavy Industries.
There is still no trace of the manager of Blackbird Heavy Industries, Yiron Faches.
In previous battles, they repeatedly discovered the spider-shaped mechanical monster with the face of Yirong Fachus, whose combat capabilitiesSecondly, and most importantly, she always seems to be the key point of information and command for the mechanical army. Eliminating them will greatly damage the strategic coordination ability of the mechanical army.
But obviously, these are not the real Yirong Faches himself.
The main body must still be in the center of Blackbird City.
Cai Minjin’s mission is probably to destroy all evidence of the connection between the Blackbird and the Fachers family.
Although the existence of Yirong Faches and the Faches family's investment in Blackbird Heavy Industries have made the relationship between them unclear. But they are already working hard to cut it, and with a positive attitude, it will be much more comfortable to destroy the evidence again.
In this case, Cai Minjin really does not want the alliance to take the lead.
Even if his legion will lose a lot of men in the final attack, he still has to accept this mission.
Martins thought for a moment and did not intend to have a direct dispute with this imperial major general who rarely straightened his back.
The war has calmed down after half a year, and the cooperation of this general is indispensable. Then in this final battle, I should give him some face.
He made the decision to let two troops, one from the south and one from the north, launch a pincer offensive to jointly attack Blackbird City.
Fair competition, whoever enters the city first wins, this is alright
Cai Minjin knows that this is the best result that can be achieved.
He went back and began to prepare his troops, secretly summoning many officers to discuss the battle plan.
Although the alliance's army had given him a great shock before, he did not dare to underestimate the names of these planetary defense forces, but their strength was even greater than that of the serious Astra Militarum. Although he has a strong army, but in such an important strategy at the moment, he is still determined to win once.
Then, he heard a piece of news
After the military meeting, the leader of the Martins Chapter personally took about thirty fully armed phoenixes and went north. .
Looking at what he meant, it was obvious that he was going to leave in person and join the alliance's battle order.
In the command post of the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion, the strategic discussion that had just been in full swing suddenly stopped.
In the silence, Cai Minjin slammed the document in his hand and cursed
