Chapter 331: Are mountain cannons also cannons?
The war on Black Arrow Star has not calmed down at all because of Gu Hang's departure.
The coalition forces established by the new King's Council currently number 50 and are deployed on the frontline battlefield.
This has almost reached the limit of the soldiers that can be provided now.
It is not the limit of each country.
At present, there are already eleven countries that have joined the new king's parliament, and the total population has reached 1.2 million. It is not possible to draw 50 people from the standing army and the reserve army and then run out of fuel.
But this was the limit of the new king's council.
This new organization was originally only established under the military threat of the Raging Owl Star Army. Stefano was defeated in forty days, leading to the surrender of the Queen of the Iron Curtain, and nine surrounding countries also because of this military Intimidated and surrendered together, a new King's Council was established.
Its foundation is quite unstable.
If an alliance is built on military strength, there can be no military danger.
If the alliance's army cannot maintain its unstoppable momentum, the kings will question it; if the alliance's army suffers a huge defeat, then they may soon defect.
Even Stefano, who has been conquered, is no exception. This martial country is now relying on the suppression of the Queen of the Iron Curtain to fall to the Alliance, but there are still remnants of defeated armies secretly entrenched everywhere.They dare not act rashly now and stay in place honestly. Even when they are being suppressed, they may not dare to blow up and may obey directly.
However, as long as the alliance encounters a major military defeat, I am afraid that the warlords, kings, and lords who are now as tame as dogs will immediately rise up.
After all, if you work as a dog for the alliance, you can't beat it, and you have no choice if you want to survive; but if there is a chance, then who doesn't want to be their own feudal lord?
In this case, we cannot send too many troops out, otherwise it will make them question whether the alliance's military power is viable. Why do we still need our people to fight?
Moreover, the credibility of these servant armies is also quite doubtful. The various feudal countries are inextricably linked because of noble marriages and interest exchanges.Maybe some knight, some earl, or some general will switch sides in the middle of the battle.
In fact, Purbov did not dare to leave the key positions of the defense line and the important logistical lifeline to these servants.
If something goes wrong, it's all over.
However, with an army of 50 servants, Perbov had much more troops on hand anyway.
Although, when facing 300 million enemy troops, it is impossible for him to make the offensive situation too large, and it is impossible to launch a full-scale attack on a front line of several hundred kilometers.But he finally had enough troops to mobilize the alliance's elite troops, clenched them into fists, and carry out key assaults on individual fronts.
And he had just adopted the strategy that he had declared to change when reporting to Governor Gu Hang.
He no longer paid attention to any important strategic points or iconic towns with particularly great political significance. Instead, he relied on the powerful penetration capabilities of the armored forces and the excellent mobility of the motorized forces to face certain difficult-to-conquer nodes when necessary. At this time, you can also call for assistance from the Space Marines...
By these means, Purbov fought three beautiful battles of annihilation in the past four months.
Two of them were active attacks.He used a pincer-shaped offensive to form a breakthrough on both sides of the approximately [-]-kilometer-wide battle line, and blocked the retreat of the Royal Army in the middle who had no time to retreat.
The next step was to cut off supply lines, cut off reinforcements, prevent breakouts, and conduct long-term bombardments with heavy artillery on the enemies surrounded inside.
The first time, the Royal Army was surrounded by 17 people. They failed to learn their lesson, so the second time, they were simply surrounded by 31 people.
For these two battles, Purbeuf specifically chose non-urban areas.There were hundreds of thousands of enemies surrounded, and it was impossible to find enough food supplies on the spot.
Not to mention, when a modern army lacks ammunition and fuel, its combat effectiveness will decline rapidly. This has nothing to do with the will to fight. After all, even the most brave and skilled soldiers cannot conjure bullets with their will to fight. .
What's more, these feudal armies don't have much quality at all.
The final result of these two annihilation battles was a great victory for the Allied forces.
Not all of the troops that were wiped out were dead.Most of them became prisoners, and after being disarmed, were sent to prisoner of war camps in the rear to do heavy manual labor such as building roads and digging trenches.
Wang Guojun, who had suffered a big loss, was not willing to let it go.They organized a large-scale attack and really spent a lot of money.
The Royal Army has more than just numbers.In terms of the ultimate weapon, they also have something that can truly pose a major threat to the Alliance Army - the twelve Knight Titans gathered together.
For these kingdoms on the Black Arrow Star, the most precious things are of course the Knight Titans.
Of course, there is no need to question its power. After all, the cost of building one unit is 70 tax coins, and it is here.After a long period of development, the existence of the Knight Titan has gradually evolved into a symbol of the strength of a country and the status of a noble.
In fact, the so-called 'Seven Countries of Black Arrow Star' are seven countries that can afford, and more importantly, raise Knight Titans.
This is a truly important weapon of the country and should not be used lightly.Losing one unit would be a huge disaster and loss for the entire country.
Currently, there are a total of twelve Knight Titans in the assembled royal army.
The generals and nobles of these kingdoms also know what happened in the Kingdom of Stefano, and they understand that the Knight Titan is powerful, but if it is unprepared and encounters the Space Marines, through the mysterious and invisible force, The ability to teleport directly came to you, and it was destroyed in minutes.
Therefore, on the one hand, they have always guarded against the information on the location of Knight Titan and made constant mobilization; on the other hand, they have equipped a large number of security guards.At the same time, they will always ensure that no Knight Titan is left alone.Moreover, drivers should not take a rest when they are below their limit.Even if the conditions are more difficult, pilots with noble backgrounds should always keep themselves in the cockpit.
Fortunately, at the level of Knight Titan, the technology of the life support cabin has been applied.Even if it doesn't have any particularly powerful functions, as long as it can assist with eating and excretion, the knights can stay in it for a long time.
Of course, they always need sleep.At this time, there must be a movable knight titan standing by to protect him.
On this basis, the generals of the Royal Army will be very cautious when using the Knight Titan.
The combination of these reasons led to the fact that even if they had twelve Knight Titans on the battlefield, they rarely appeared.
In an easy and simple battle, even if the Knight Titan appears, it has no meaning, it is just the icing on the cake; but in a battle that is too dangerous, the Knight Titan will not dare to attack, otherwise if one is damaged, there will be very serious consequences. Huge political crisis.
It must be emphasized again here: the Royal Army is an army formed by a group of feudal countries.It's true that kings are leaders, but in essence they are just the largest nobles and lords.And these Knight Titans are in the hands of the major nobles.
This is destined that they cannot be like the modern army. When an order is given, they must follow the military order and go on it when they are told. Even if it is a mission that they know is fatal, they must still be determined to shoulder military responsibilities.In the feudal army, it is difficult for this kind of thing to happen.
To put it bluntly, for some nobles who regard the Knight Titan as their family's foundation, they can lose the battle but cannot lose the Titan.
As long as the Titans remain intact, even if they later surrender to the Alliance, their status can still be retained to a certain extent.
However, this time, Wang Guojun still spent a lot of money.
After a whole day of meetings behind closed doors, many kings, together with many great nobles, decided that the situation could never continue like this.Otherwise, if those Raging Stars continue to use their advantages in mobility, firepower, and armor to erode their troops step by step, they will really leave all 300 million of their troops here.
After many parties reached an agreement, this large-scale offensive, which the generals at the front had been waiting for for a long time but could never take shape, was launched.
Twelve Knight Titans, mobilize collectively!
Nine of them belong to the Kingdom of Pampos, and this is their entire strength.After all, this war is taking place on their territory, and they are of course the ones who need to devote all their efforts the most; the remaining three come from three other powerful countries, each of which supports one.
In the entire history of the Black Arrow Star, twelve Knight Titans were sent out to participate in a war at the same time. That was something that only happened in a long time ago.
When twelve Knight Titans form a group, accompanied by thousands of Sentinel mechas, and hundreds of thousands of troops, and are fully pressed against them, there is no doubt that the alliance's front line cannot be maintained.
Where is the strongest point of the Alliance army?
In addition to armor strength, it is artillery.
The Furious Owl Star was transported to the Black Arrow Star through the merchant ships of Gu's Trading Company. Apart from the weapons, equipment and ammunition used by the alliance's more than 30 royal troops, the most remaining items were artillery pieces and artillery shells.
These weapons were handed over to the servant army for use.
With the density of artillery far exceeding that of their opponents, they were able to confront an enemy that was far more numerous than them on a long front.
But in that place where twelve Knight Titans and thousands of Sentinel mechas are concentrated, they cannot be stopped no matter what.
Even the direct troops of the alliance cannot bear it.
The Knight Titans fired missiles and bombarded them with long-range howitzers, but conventional firepower was unable to shake them; under their fire cover, the Sentinel mechas charged forward against the hail of bullets, and the machine guns could also cause terrifying damage to the Alliance soldiers' positions. threats.
The conventional artillery of the Royal Army is far inferior to that of the Alliance, but the number of mountain artillery assembled is sufficient. With the cover of armored forces in the front, they can advance to a relatively close place and fire. The threat cannot be underestimated.
Mountain cannons are also cannons!
Not only was the alliance's position broken through at a single point, but the entire defense line of hundreds of kilometers began to waver significantly.
Several infantry regiments directly related to the alliance that blocked the enemy face to face suffered extremely heavy casualties, almost to the point of rebuilding their numbers. There were even artillery positions that were captured by the enemy troops who attacked quickly, and were completely destroyed before they had time to evacuate...
For seven consecutive days, the Royal Army launched a wave of offensive climax, pushing the alliance's defense line back eighty kilometers.
This is something they have never been able to achieve since the beginning of the war.
In addition to the changes on the front, they also caused a lot of damage.
Six regiment-level flags alone were seized; more than twenty officers above the school level were confirmed to have been killed.
Although it is difficult to calculate the more specific results, there is no doubt that this was a heavy blow to the Alliance Army.
All this happened in just seven days!
The brilliant results even caused the King of Pampos to personally send a letter to congratulate the knights on their victory.
Similarly, this victory also made the Black Arrow people start to think that there is nothing great about the alliance, it's just that we didn't use our full strength at the beginning.
However, everything changed on the eighth day.
The victory of the Royal Army, which advanced the front line for [-] kilometers, can it be regarded as a 'victory'?
In Purboff's view, not necessarily.
When the enemy's front was strong, he would let some troops resist on the front, reducing the enemy's number, consuming the enemy's supplies, and slowing down the enemy's speed.The troops undertaking these tasks indeed suffered huge casualties, and Perbov felt uncomfortable for this.
After all, when he led a brigade to fight a blocking battle outside Pinser City and nearly wiped out the entire army, the number of people killed was not as high as it is now.
However, he has now been able to harden his heart.
The sacrifice at this moment is for greater victory.
While the frontal troops were fighting for time, the Alliance's armored forces began to maneuver on both sides.
Then, on the eighth day of the large-scale offensive launched by the Royal Army, they moved to both sides of this protrusion that was [-] kilometers deep and [-] kilometers wide.
Several armored brigades rushed out at the same time. With the support of artillery and air force, they powerfully broke through the enemies who were attacking the alliance positions.
Then, they quickly penetrated both sides of the protrusion at a speed that the enemy could not react.
Within one day, four armored brigades dispatched from both sides penetrated the [-]-kilometer salient supply line and completed a successful rendezvous.
This means that the protrusion created by the enemy has become a pocket to put themselves in!
