Rise of the Wasteland - Chapter 1883
Through the periscope hidden in the position, David Lawrence looked across the Mississippi for a while. The staff around whispered about the establishment and deployment of a Mexican army in the opposite direction, which was very detailed.
“On the opposite side of the river bay, there is a battalion of the 7th Mexican Infantry Division. There is probably only one company on the forward position. There are not many troops, but the fortifications are very good. Their grass-roots commanders are okay and should have played. The fighting force of the old civil war is not bad. “
“There are fifty such Mexican Mexican infantry divisions, and twelve of them are arranged opposite us. Several independent artillery regiments provide them with fire support. It is worth noting that the independent artillery regiment of the Aurora Army will strengthen one during the battle. The M7 missile battalion has a deep attack capability. “
“The air force of the Legion is arranged farther, and the equipment is good or bad. The most threatening is a J-31 flight regiment. Although its performance is not top-notch, it can already challenge our F-22B.
After hearing the staff’s words, David Lawrence’s eyes moved away from the periscope. Another officer next to him quickly opened an electronic map and continued to explain the current situation on the front.
After quickly forming the new Enclave, David Lawrence was ambitious. Although his relationship with his allies in the past Brotherhood was so stiff, no one dared to offend him at this moment. The only Aurora legion that caught his attention.
To deal with Victor Hugo, David Lawrence prepared two plans. One is to bait with her daughter Anji, and the other is to build a new Enclave to strengthen its strength. The two schemes are being carried out at the same time, and the plans are currently very smooth.
However, even when the plan was smooth, David Lawrence thought for a long time about how to reinvigorate the United States. He was not sure, so he decided to try it out.
“The exercise will start on time, so that the boys can do a better job.” Rong Zhuang, dressed in law, left the front line with a lot of domineering, accompanied by a large number of generals behind him. As he drove to the rear headquarters to sit in town, troops around Wicksburg moved.
Four divisions, more than 200 tanks, more than 500 armored vehicles, tens of thousands of logistic support teams, and air control and ground strike forces including two F-22B flying wing. This is a relatively large-scale military exercise designed to test the cooperative operations of multiple Enclave units.
The hypothetical enemy of the exercise … then it goes without saying.
The order was issued shortly after, and the F-22B, who was in the exercise mission, came over to destroy the so-called enemy airport. “Raptor” followed by a ticket with ground-guided attack aircraft began cleaning fortifications and armored targets on the ground, opening up channels for ground assault forces.
Finally, an armored division drilled across the river under the cover of heavy artillery. Tens of thousands of people ran into the battlefield over hundreds of kilometers, killing people. The iron wings roared, the sound of gunfire was booming, and the entire exercise was in full swing.
The Enclave has informed the Aurora Corps that it will have military operations near Wicksburg, and the Legion will of course wait early and pay close attention.
Since the sound of artillery fire from the opposite side, the front officers and men of the Legion in the protuberance of the river bay fell asleep and had trouble eating. All investigative methods were put on the battlefield without saying that all officers were highly nervous, tense for 24 hours. No one dare to say whether the opposite is a real or fake fight.
The assaults of modern warfare are very rapid, and the firepower will reach an extreme in a short time. The Enclave exercise quickly went to the third stage, that is, to seize the air dominance and complete the air-to-ground strike. The next step was the heavy artillery to cover the armored forces and launch an assault.
The M109A7 self-propelled artillery battalion that arrived at the front line quickly started the day before and began to show its power. The fire broke out for a round, and the target area of the front line was smashed.
David Lawrence, who was at the rear command, was very satisfied with the current state of the exercise. He was relieved to see the imaginary targets on the electronic map destroyed. The staff responsible for planning the exercise continued to explain to him.
“Our long-range artillery moved immediately after finishing the rapid fire.”
“The artillery drone is evaluating the effects of the damage and will launch the next round if necessary.”
“This is a war that was destroyed after it was discovered. The Mexican Mfandi on the opposite side could not support it for such a long time. We estimate that it will only take three hours to break through the other line of defense.”
“Sir President, our radio listeners deciphered a communication between the Mexican company and the rear. Would you like to listen?”
The staff members of the exercise were also very proud of the current situation. They felt confident that if the war really started, the enemy would collapse as they envisioned. David Lawrence, who has just become president, is also happy to accept some of his subordinates’ performances.
The communication encryption level of the front positions is not high, and it is not difficult to decipher. The deciphered radio communication was played by a small speaker, and the sound was very clear. The deciphered dialogue is mainly English, but also mixed with Spanish and Chinese, which are all translated by someone for President Lawrence.
“I am Raphael in the protuberance of the river bay. The artillery shells opposite us have landed outside our position. Can your artillery warn the opposite side and don’t let them always aim at us.”
“I am the artillery advance battalion. According to the ballistic positioning radar’s calculations, the opposite shell has not yet crossed the agreed limit between the two sides. You don’t need to panic.”
“Of course you are not panic in the first two or three kilometers. It is us who are facing the shells now. Is there any problem with your radar? The enemy shells really landed outside our position.”
“The position is not on the outside of the position. The Legion does not allow us to start first. The enemy has not really attacked us and we cannot fight back. You calm down, we are more nervous than you are now.”
“You hide away, you are nervous. The enemy is doing exercises in front of our eyes. This is provocation, provocation. Do you understand that everyone at the forefront is dead? You are all in vain. “
The deciphered radio bulletin was quickly overwhelmed by the yelling and complaining of frontline commanders. The Enclave staffer responsible for monitoring said proudly to David Lawrence: “It seems that the Aurora Corps has never thought of going to war with us.
They have been working hard to suppress the desire of front-line commanders to fight. From this exercise, we can see that the initiative of war is in our hands.
It can be said with certainty that as long as we start, the enemy’s dozen divisions will never have the opportunity to correct mistakes. Wait until Victor Hugo wakes up … “
The reporting staff wanted to say ‘it ’s too late for Victor. Hugo wakes up’, but at this time a few exclaimed screams came from the deciphered radio. The person in charge of the translation suddenly changed his face and was a little panicked.
David Lawrence was nodding his head and listening to the staff’s report. The translatable expression did not escape his eyes. He immediately asked, “What happened?”
The translator listened carefully to the sound from the radio for a while, and finally confirmed: “It seems that the opposite side has fired.”
“what?”
“The battalion commander of the Independent Artillery Regiment scolded on the radio, saying that a company below had fired without permission.”
“what?”
David Lawrence frowned, and everyone in the exercise command was quiet. After a while, the officer in charge rushed to report.
“Her President, the long-range artillerymen who have just been transferred say they were suddenly covered by enemy fire and suffered heavy losses. The ‘Fire Finder’ reported that the shells came from the Aurora Corps opposite.”
Hmm … didn’t you say you didn’t take the initiative? We’re doing exercises, and we haven’t started the war actively. It’s your army that started the war without authorization!
David Lawrence was a little bit blind at once, and the officers at the exercise command were all foolish. This is different from their expectations. This provocation has provoked and provoked the opposite person.
“Retaliation, what are you doing?” Hearing his own beating, David Lawrence thundered instantly. “The enemy opened fire and attacked us, and we fired!”
The exercise soon turned into a real fight ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ but both sides only used long-range artillery. However, the assault quickly stopped due to the battlefield maneuver of the running long-range artillery. On the whole, the Enclave side, which was going to be beaten, was completely at a loss.
When David Lawrence calmed down, he immediately demanded a protest to the Aurora Army, protesting against the unauthorized firing. However, his staff also received a telegram in which the Aurora Corps scolded Inkley for launching an attack in the name of the exercise.
Is there anything wrong? It was obviously that the Aurora Legion hit us first, and one of our artillery units suffered a loss.
David Lawrence was furious, but the tentative exercises he planned had to stop. The Aurora Corps that met this time was also furious. Zhou Qingfeng learned that there was a crossfire on the front line and asked for a thorough investigation.
“I clearly ordered not to take the initiative to attack. Inkley had to exercise and let him exercise. Restraint. Do n’t you understand? Who is full and unable to restrain himself?” The chief of the legion was angry, and it was natural to figure this out.
Not long after, a frontal artillery company commander named Pang Youcai was taken out. “Head of the army, it’s not that we can’t help it. The responsibility lies with the enemy. For the enemy’s provocative exercises, we remain extremely patient Calm, but the artillery was well prepared and the muzzle locked the enemy gun position.
When the radar showed that the enemy was firing and the projectile’s trajectory was about to land on our position, our artillery immediately responded with courage. Because our artillery shells have a large caliber and a fast muzzle velocity. Before the enemy shells landed, our shells reached the enemy artillery position.
As for why the enemy lost a lot and we lost a little, it was all because we played well. So at first glance, we took the initiative to attack, but you did n’t believe it. The enemy really hit us first. “
After this rhetoric came up, Zhou Qingfeng froze for a long time-Pang Youcai, you really meow is a personal talent!
