Chapter 46: Draw up a plan

"Boom! Boom!" On the front line of the Dothan Empire and the Arante Empire, a round of artillery shot down among the dense crowd. The dense army was cut by rampant shells, ploughing out traces full of blood.

Allan Hill’s artillery rewrote the history of war, and the party with the artillery seemed to have mastered the advantage on the battlefield. The soldiers of the Arante Empire are moving forward steadily, and they have seen the smile of the goddess of victory.

The phalanx of the originally neat Dothan soldiers had become skewed at this moment, and the terrifying metal ball dropped from the sky, splashing a **** storm among the crowd.

The entire line of defense was in defeat, and Dothan's officers were already unable to prevent the defeat of their soldiers. At this moment, they didn't want to prevent such a rout, because they themselves were among the rout crowd.

No one dares to face such a terrible weapon. Everyone thinks that the Arante Empire is supported by the Magic Empire, so Dothan’s soldiers are not only defeated by the momentum of the weapon, but also defeated by their fear of magic. Up.

"Did the Holy Demon Empire abandon us?" An officer got up from the ground with blood on his face, crying and wanting to get his arm back. His arm in armor was severed by a stream of heat, like butter being cut by a hot knife.

A soldier tried to struggle to stand up, but found that his lower body was gone. He tried hard to make some shouts, but found that only blood was vomiting out of his mouth, and soon he stopped moving, lying with the surrounding corpses, without making any noise.

Not far away, with tidy steps, the army of the Arante Empire was shouting slogans, and accompanied by drums, step by step approaching the battlefield that was already like **** on earth. In front of them, there are no established enemies to resist, only some of the enemy soldiers who have gone crazy.

Countless spears were leveled, and then they swept through the obstacles in front of them. Some soldiers who had forgotten to escape were quickly stabbed to the ground, but the Arrant soldiers still marched step by step, ignoring the corpses under their feet that were stepped into the mud.

"Long live Alante!" Above the high slope, the soldiers who had not had time to participate in this crushing attack, shouted like a mountain. Their flags fluttered in the sky, and their voices echoed across the plains.

Riding on the tall horse, General Zorn pointed to the battlefield in the distance with his iron armored gloves, and asked the entourages around him triumphantly: "Look! In the mortal world, no one can stop us in the Arante Empire. The army!"

"Yeah! Yeah!" A general said with a flattering smile, holding General Zorn in his mouth and said: "It's still the Lord's command, the Arante Empire will surely move towards the Mortal Empire under the leadership of your Lord General. The pinnacle."

"Hahahaha!" Zonzhi laughed triumphantly. The laughter didn't spread far enough before being drowned out by the fierce drums of war. He triumphantly, pulling on the reins of the warhorse, said: "The Dothan Empire will definitely take the matter to the Holy Demon Empire, wanting to sue us, saying that we are harbouring advanced weapons and conspiring badly...Unfortunately they would never think of us. The cannon has been sent to the Holy Demon Empire! Hahahaha."

"My lord is wise! My lord is really wise! My lord, you are really the star of Arante!" A group of flattering generals quickly nodded and bowed their heads and flattered in front of Zorn.

The smile on Zorn's face, who heard these beautiful words, was even more triumphant, and the whole person became even more proud. He was in a good mood, so he opened his mouth and issued a more radical order: "The messenger! We don't need captives!"

In the distance directly in front of him, one after another phalanxes full of iron armor were slowly moving towards the end of the horizon. The first battle between the Arrant Empire and the Dothan Empire ended with a complete victory for the Arrant Empire.

In this battle, Zorn led an army of 100,000 Arrant Empire and easily swept the 70,000 army of the Dothan Empire. However, this victory that slaughtered at least 5,000 people and defeated 70,000 people, the price paid by the Arante Empire was negligible, not even the 200 wounded.

The red cannon that just showed up on the battlefield has already demonstrated a powerful force that surpasses this era. It is precisely because of its good performance in this battle that General Zorn likes this weapon even more.

"Let the rear hold fast! This weapon should equip every castle and every unit!" Zorn urged the horse forward, and said to a henchman beside him: "After this victory, I think Dothan will soon Surrender."

"After we go back! I want at least 300 new cannons!" He continued as he went forward: "The battle with Ailan Hill is not so easy! They also have this type of cannon... so the war The situation, it's impossible to fall down like this!"

…

"The Arante Empire is not the same as our previous opponents. They also have artillery!" Chris carried his back and reviewed his border defense plan for the second time: "We are on the southern border, there are 2 Reserve regiments, these regiments cannot hold their defenses."

"As long as Zon leads his main force northward, our border may be penetrated. This is a loss for us, because war will destroy our carefully paved roads and destroy our crops." He used his pointer, in A very large and detailed map pointed to the location of the defense line of the guidance department.

Because of the more accurate measuring instruments, optical equipment such as telescopes have also begun to improve, so the drawing level of Ailan Hill has also been greatly improved. Chris can now use such a detailed map to make strategic arrangements, which is also an intuitive manifestation of this progress.

"The best way is to let our main force group go south in advance and gather on the border... ready to fight at any time." He used his pointer to draw a circle on the positions of the three main force groups in the rear. Looked at Wagron.

Wagron nodded and said: "Arant's offensive can only threaten the Serris area, which is very beneficial to us. We have assembled five regiments to build a line of defense."

"For defense only, I expect that as long as there are three main regiments on the scene, it will be able to block about 100,000 soldiers of the Arante Empire near the southern part of Seris..." He used another pointer to make a gesture between the first and second lines. Obviously, it is still a bit unsuitable for this method of combat.

Next, 10 heads of delegations who came to the meeting, and 10 heads of trainees, together with Desaier and others, made an entire conference room densely packed. Everyone is listening carefully to this pre-war analysis meeting, or the second pre-war analysis meeting.

Every 20 days, Chris will hold such a combat evaluation meeting, while reviewing what kind of strengthening his troops have been, and calculating how to distribute the forces at hand.

If Zorn wants to attack Ailan Hill northward is just a rough idea, then Chris is preparing to fight with Arrant, it is already a very precise battle plan.

"Now, the second line garrison regiment has also been equipped with 20 75mm infantry guns and 300 rifles for training." A regiment commander raised his hand and offered his own suggestions: "If we strengthened to give us some weapons, I think the first-line defense might not be able to withstand the opponent's attack."

As the equipment of the second-line troops improves day by day, Chris is forming more infantry regiments. Some of the better equipped regiments have been promoted to 8 regiments, 9 regiments and 10 regiments. The newly formed troops have also filled 11 regiments to 13 regiments. The vacancy of the regiment.

Each front-line infantry regiment is actually equipped with thousands of rifles and about 200 revolvers. With 20 artillery pieces, more or less anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, the combat effectiveness is actually hard to assess.

Because, including Chris, have never commanded such a fully equipped army with no shortage of ammunition. In the joint confrontation exercises, the teaching group once set a terrifying record of one regiment destroying seven second-line garrison regiments on the opposite side.

Some statisticians even indicated that if the teaching regiment has sufficient ammunition, it will not be difficult to defeat 7 regiments. Encouraged by this result, many infantry regiments equipped with rifles and machine guns feel that they can fight head-on by about ten times. The enemy's strength is gone.

After the expansion, a regiment now has more than 2500 officers and soldiers, so many middle-level commanders believe that as long as three second-line regiments are deployed on the border, even Arante’s troops will not be able to break through Ailan Hill’s first. A border line of defense.

This line of defense is composed of two parallel trenches and traffic trenches. In some areas, some cement bunkers have been reinforced. The reason for preparing such a line of defense is mainly the "remains" left over when the troops were trained to construct defense facilities. for.

However, relying on this southern line of defense, Ailan Hill's military really felt that they could fight every inch of the land against the Arrant Empire.

"Or, we have 4 garrison regiments to fight against the troops of the Arrant Empire northward? If we withstand the opponent's attack, then we can have 5 main regiments and 5 second-line regiments. The reserve team counterattacked." Wagron was also tempted by this defensive plan and asked Chris.

Chris thought about this defensive counterattack plan, and felt that it was indeed more comfortable than pure defense, so he nodded and said: "For the time being, we will make a second set of combat plans. Next time we have a meeting, we will discuss the third set of plans. Our first offensive plan!"

"Yes!" Everyone stood up, clenched their right hands on their chests, and replied with their chins high.
