Ruggie Leekosi is one of the very few people whose rank has not been reduced in the process of moving from the Alliance Army to the Astra Militarum and becoming the Raging Bear Legion.
For example, Yan Fangxu was originally promised to be the first in command of the legion, at least with the rank of brigadier general, but in the end, he was tricked by Gallardo and became the second in command, with only the rank of colonel. Compared with his official rank of major general under the alliance system, his rank has dropped by two levels.
And Li Kexi is much better. He was originally an Alliance colonel. When he was transferred to the Astra Militarum, he should have been moved down one level to lieutenant colonel, just like other division and brigade leaders. However, Gu Hang, as the commander of the regiment, quickly brought him back to the rank of colonel under his own authority. As the commander of the regiment and the rank of brigadier general, he had the authority to do so.
It’s nothing more than nomination, reporting, and waiting for approval.
Gu Hangren was on Koroja 3, and there were representatives of the Astra Militarum and the Ministry of Military Affairs in each investigation team, so the process went by quite quickly.
The reason why Li Kexi’s military rank was to be raised one level was so that he could legitimately command half of the Raging Bear Army that came to Koruga No. 3.
According to Gallardo's request, the Ministry of Military Affairs issued a transfer order asking the Raging Bear Legion to come to Koruga 3 to participate in the war.
770,000 Raging Bear warriors left home for half a year to fight in this foreign country.
The seven division and brigade-level units are all commanded by Colonel Li Kexi. In terms of numbers, it is equivalent to two large divisions of the Astra Militarum.
The commander-in-chief of the Koroga Theater, Lieutenant General Jayden Hansen, did not take them seriously at the beginning.
There are only more than 70,000 people, which is nothing in the army of tens of millions of people participating in the battle of the fallen nest city of Fino. This matter was completely unnecessary. He only regarded it as a means by Gallardo's war apostle to mess with people.
Of course, he is not familiar with Gallardo and has no interest entanglements. Not to mention that the war apostle’s life and death are unknown now. He has no need to please a dead man. Business is just business. .
The Raging Bear Legion is not his direct army, and he will not give special preferential treatment; Gu Hang is the commander of this legion, and he has just demonstrated the strength of an A-level psyker. Luo Jia No. 3 is currently popular under the current special situation, and he will not deliberately use the Raging Bear Legion as cannon fodder.
The 770,000 people in the Angry Bear Legion received the normal treatment of the Astra Militarum and assumed some normal military tasks.
However, Lieutenant General Hansen soon noticed something was wrong.
Didn’t the Raging Bear Legion agree that it was only a planetary defense force half a year ago? It has just been transformed into the Astra Militarum.
But why is it so fierce?
He assigned tasks to them according to the normal tasks that two large organizers should undertake. But this group of people was able to complete the work relatively easily every time, and even under the command of Colonel Li Kexi, they were always able to provide some extra help to the friendly forces next to them.
Two months ago, during a bigA large-scale plague demon riot, with a defense force composed of tens of thousands of local soldiers, was defeated at an exit of the lower area. Tens of thousands of plague zombies, mixed with a large number of mid- to high-level plague demons, rushed into the quarantine area.
There are at least 300,000 uninfected people in this isolation area who are in the process of being screened and alienated.
Lieutenant General Hansen did not want to give up easily. He mobilized two large divisions to fight for the place again.
However, the number of enemies was unexpected, almost endless.
His troops quickly fell into a bitter battle, and the tens of thousands of local troops who supported him in the past were like water poured into the desert. They had no effect and quickly evaporated.
The area turned into a quagmire and a meat grinder within a week. Four hundred thousand human troops were trapped, which was already more than the number of people in the area waiting for rescue.
Moreover, when Lieutenant General Hansen began to consider abandoning the area, withdrawing troops, blowing up the entrances and exits to avoid further expansion of losses, he painfully discovered that it would be very difficult to retreat. .
A large number of troops, intertwined with the plague demons, were trapped in the entire complex complex of buildings, biting and fighting hand-to-hand, and could be evacuated at any time
If things go wrong, the retreat will turn into a rout, and the safety of 400,000 troops, including two divisions of the Astra Militarum, is no longer a small number. Even in the worst case scenario, those demons may take advantage of the chaos to kill in the next block, thus forming a chain reaction of domino collapse along the entire blockade of Fino City.
This is not just a random thought, there is a big organizer of the Dragon Eagle Legion who is suffering.
At this moment, a surprise force descended from the sky came out.
That was a combined battalion of the 35th Brigade of the Angry Bear Legion.
The mixed assault of tanks and armored vehicles came with great determination, and the timing and location were chosen very cunningly. It was the enemy who was about to encircle and block the more than 30,000 Dragon Eagle Legion soldiers. The critical moment for evacuation.
When it comes to tanks and armored vehicles, it’s not like the Dragon Eagle Legion doesn’t have them. Everyone uses the same Lion and Rambler, and no one is better than the other.
But the difference is that their combined battalion has far closer infantry-tank coordination capabilities than the Dragon Eagle Legion. The infantry squads and motorized infantry company squads put down by the armored vehicles of the mechanical infantry company can very quickly keep up with the advance of the armored troops. They can firmly hold on to the gaps opened by the armored troops. On the one hand, they can make the wounds on the enemy's formation unable to Recovery, on the other hand, also avoids being surrounded by a massive enemy force during an armored assault.
Then, the artillery support company will immediately follow up.
In the hive environment, the power of artillery is greatly weakened.
The entire hive city is not so much a huge building complex.It's like a giant structure in itself. Although it is quite open in some places, in general, the existence of various obstacles makes it basically impossible for artillery to accurately support artillery fire to where it is needed from a distance of 20 kilometers.
However, this does not mean that artillery is useless.
It’s hard to fight when it’s far away, but not when it’s close
Faced with the enemy’s threat, with the help of the armored brothers and infantry brothers in front, they were able to forcibly build firepower points and attack those who could Wherever possible, firepower is ejected in an almost direct manner. Their fire coverage has changed from being able to reach 20 kilometers away in a normal field environment to only covering a distance of two kilometers, and they are often easily blocked.
But heavy artillery is heavy artillery, and they can still destroy the targets they hit.
The combined battalion is extremely skilled and smooth in the coordination of multiple arms, allowing many to see this scene with their own eyes. The Astra Militarum officer was stunned.
The offensive, which was as smooth as mercury falling on the ground, not only refreshed the understanding of many of them, but also effectively saved the lifeline of this division.
They did not let the brothers of the Raging Bear Legion fight alone. Soon, multiple companies came to support and assisted the soldiers of the Angry Bear Legion to hold on to this retreat. Then the entire division began to follow the order and gradually retreated, exiting this hopeless neighborhood.
In this battle, there is no doubt that the combined battalion of the Angry Bear Legion made great contributions.
Their appearance not only saved an entire division, but also prevented the area from being completely destroyed.
Although it did not completely reverse the situation of the war and turn defeat into victory, it could be regarded as saving the building from collapse.
The key point is that this is just a battalion-level battle group with less than a thousand people.
This incident alarmed Lieutenant General Hansen.
On the one hand, it solved a big crisis and allowed him to finally sleep well.
On the other hand, they were surprised at how the members of the Angry Bear Legion suddenly appeared there and had such strong fighting power.
This answer does not need to be explored by himself.
Many staff members under his command gave him the answer.
The large staff team quickly sent the report to the lieutenant general's desk.
A unit of the Raging Bear Legion will appear on the battlefield, and the reason for this is nothing special.
They had been sent to a nearby area to conduct a routine cleanup mission, and when they successfully completed their mission, they were several days ahead of schedule. .
While the troops were stationed in the area, waiting for the local defense forces to come and take over, they noticed that the situation nearby had changed, so Colonel Li Kexi sent a battalion over to take a look at the situation.
With this look, the situation was resolved.
And another thing is worthy of Lieutenant General Hansen's careful study.
Why the same equipment and peopleHow powerful is the Raging Bear Legion despite only having a small number?
According to the staff reports, first of all, in terms of individual soldier quality, every soldier in the Raging Bear Legion has reached star level. The standard requirements of the border army.
It’s interesting to say, but the Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion has more than 20 million troops. Of course, there are many who reach this level, and there are many, but in terms of the overall proportion, it is only about half; among this half, there are Half of them were trained to this level after coming to the Astra Militarum.
This should not be true, but it is a helpless move due to the actual situation.
The soldiers of the Astra Militarum mainly come from the soldiers paid by various planets when paying imperial taxes, and the Astra Militarum may also directly transfer planetary defense forces to the Astra Militarum.
However, the standard level requirements of the Astra Militarum require soldiers to undergo at least five years of military training under the training of experienced instructors before they can be universally met. On many planets, the total service time of conscripts and volunteers is not this long.
Of course, logically speaking, this is not a problem of the Astra Militarum. According to regulations, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Astra Militarum Command should not be involved in these matters. Unqualified soldiers will not be counted as taxes. . But this is mixed with some political factors, economic factors, and some corruption factors
There is no way.
Hansen is just a lieutenant general, he can't change these things. All he can do is that when the soldiers come to his army, they can at least be trained into qualified warriors through his hands.
But even this is difficult.
When there is no war, the budget of the Astra Militarum is not enough. There is no opportunity for soldiers to practice military skills. Without bullets, sharpshooters cannot be produced.
The same is true for artillery, tank troops and the like.
But if it were just a difference in the quality of the soldiers, it would not be so concrete. To put it bluntly, Dragon Eagle's soldiers were not weak.
This is the third factor of tactical concept mentioned by the staff.
The synthetic force plan adopted by the Raging Bear Legion is actually not particularly new. There are many capable people in the Astra Militarum, wouldn't you think that
doesn't exist?
To put it bluntly, the advantages of a synthetic force lie in its small modular structure and flexibility, more officers for the same force, intensive technical equipment, and the coordinated operation of multiple arms under a command system.
This all sounds good, but every advantage comes in exchange for money.
If you want to have a small establishment and flat command, you will need more officers, which costs money. Whether it is training officers or providing higher treatment after training, it is not a small amount.
Technical equipment is intensive, which is direct money.
Coordination of multiple arms requires a lot of training and money.
Of course the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Astra Militarum are rich, but they have more to spend.
None of these advantages can compare with the current regulations of big organizers.Advantages of saving money to raise more soldiers. And in a decisive frontal battle, a large army has the advantages of a large army.
Synthetic troops, within the entire Astra Militarum system, can only be used to build elite troops on a small scale.
To be honest, Lieutenant General Hansen did not understand at all how Governor Gu Hang was willing to use such an army to pay imperial taxes.
It’s too uneconomical and too honest. The normal operation should not be to randomly recruit tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have been trained for one or two years, bring appropriate light equipment, and then work hard to build good relationships. Is that all it takes to make a payment?
In that case, if you pay one million tax coins, the actual cost will only be 700,000.
What you do now is equivalent to a cost of 1.3 million, which is offset by a tax of 1 million.
What a loss.
But no matter what, this is a good thing for Hansen.
He suddenly discovered that he had 70,000 more elite troops in his hands.
Although the real armored composite division is only one brigade, the several infantry divisions of Angry Bear are all motorized, and firepower such as heavy bolters is equipped with companies and various squads. The weapon firepower is also more powerful than that of the Astra Militarum with the same number of people.
It is better than our own troops anyway.
In a complicated mood, he was not polite and began to frequently let this army from the Raging Owl Star take on more important tasks.
That is different from being cannon fodder.
Supplies and logistics are all top priorities; a sharp knife must also be equipped with a handle, and there are also a considerable number of support troops and coordination troops behind it. He was even generous enough to hand over command to Colonel Li Kexi instead of a senior officer of the Dragon Eagle Corps during a joint attack.
In addition, when he wins a battle, he does not skimp on rewards at all. From the combat allowances of soldiers and officers to the report of meritorious service by the entire unit to the Ministry of Military Affairs, he did not miss anything.
When Gu Hang came to Fino City this time, when he saw Li Kexi, Lieutenant General Hansen, who heard the news, also rushed over and met with him.
While he sincerely thanked Gu Hang, he also expressed some apologies.
After all, no matter how we ensure logistics and report our achievements, when undertaking more important military tasks, more casualties are inevitable.
Gu Hang also expressed his understanding of this.
Although he was also very sad about the casualties of his soldiers, the warriors of Angry Bear fighting here also brought a lot of benefits and benefits.
When the Astra Militarum fight, it is not in vain.
Otherwise, he would not have given the instructions to allow Li Kexi to perform normally during the battle. Otherwise, even if it is fishing, the command of the Dragon Eagle Legion will not be able to detect it.
