In the first battle of the 202nd Battalion, with two strengthening companies, annihilated 2,200 enemies. It suddenly became the big news for the entire 2nd Army. Major General Zhang Yuliang immediately promoted Ye Xiao's rank to major, and some people who were thinking of battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion closed their mouths all at once.
Due to the victory of the 2nd Battalion, the attacking Crusaders had to shrink their troops due to this gap, which unexpectedly entered a rare state of calm.
A few hours later, the 2nd Brigade Special Service Company successfully destroyed the heavy artillery group. Although more than 20 soldiers were killed in the battle, the threat of heavy artillery dissipated. Even the left cluster headquarters sent a congratulatory message to the 2nd Battalion, saying that the counterattack of the 2nd Brigade and the 202nd Battalion was a "unexpected" and "inspiring the morale" victory on the garrison line.
The 2nd Battalion, which won the honor, is currently conducting a solemn farewell ceremony.
"Since the base, our troops have killed a total of 93 soldiers, and 21 soldiers are lying in the hospital at this moment," Ye Xiao used the call system to speak to the entire battalion solemnly: "But I dare say that none of our soldiers who died regret joining the army and regret coming to this place full of death!"
"Their sacrifices have created our honor, this is a blood-stained honor, and it is a common honor for them and us! But don't let honor cover your eyes, don't let honor lose your nature! After all, we are just a rookie army that inherited the pride of our ancestors, and we are not worthy of pride to tell people that we are invincible black flag army!"
"I only have one requirement. You and I must use our lives to protect this bloody honor! I hope we can tell others with iron-like facts that we are the real black flag army, not just the rookies who inherit the name of martyrs!"
Ye Xiao used the topic of honor to make the soldiers' eyes fascinated by their proud record, and immediately held a battalion meeting.
"Before this meeting, I need to inform you about a few things," Ye Xiao's face looked very bad. The officers present saw his depression in Ye Xiao's expression, and sat honestly waiting for the report.
"First, the consumption of combat readiness resources exceeds the expectations of the war zone. In the next ten days, the war zone will stop attacking the crusaders in the encirclement and launch another attack in ten days."
"Secondly, the war zone will rotate the offensive forces, so the National Defense Force, which was originally expected to change defenses with us in five days, canceled the defense replacement plan, and the army that changed defenses with us will most likely come in half a month."
"Third, in the next ten days, the pressure we are under will be even more terrifying, and it is very likely to be attacked by the Heavy Equipment Group."
After Ye Xiao finished speaking, the officers attending the meeting started to discuss. If it were just an ordinary combat situation, they would never be too nervous, but the battle on the entire garrison line was too tragic!
You should know that the 130-kilometer-long garrison line (dividing line) is an important place for dividing two parts of the crusaders, and it is also an important channel for material support for the assault group. For the trapped crusaders, it is a key front for them to turn defeat into victory. If the division line is closed, the imperial assault group will fall into the crusaders' siege, and will immediately be able to change offense and defense, and turn defeat into victory!
However, the consumption of the Imperial Army since the war started was beyond imagination!
The wars in the past few days have consumed unimaginable materials. Guns, ammunition, armored vehicles, etc. are all minor problems for the empire, but the most important thing is missiles. Since the war started, they have maintained high-intensity consumption. On the day of the war and the next day, the missile troops alone used as many as 30,000 ordinary medium and large missiles. Since then, they have consumed no less than 4,000 missiles every day.
The use of missiles effectively reduces the loss of the air force, and for this reason, the war zone logistics side called the police - if such intensity is continued, there will be no missiles available in frontline troops in five days.
Exaggerated? Not at all!
You should know that the length of a large missile reaches 16 or 7 meters, but the range is only 500 kilometers, while the range of a medium missile is only 200 kilometers to 300 kilometers, and the length reaches 11 or 2 meters. In other words, whether it is a large or medium missile, an extended transport vehicle can only be used to pull nine at a time. Although the inventory of the Central War Zone is enough to spend a month with such intensity, transportation will take too much time.
If the air force is relying solely on the air force to provide support to the front line troops, the daily consumption of 4,000 missiles will need to be replaced with at least 4,000 air force support. Under the threat of ground air defense forces, according to the 80:1 battle loss, at least 50 wars may be lost every day. That is a costly war, not a land aviation spacecraft!
Moreover, the support of the bombing of 4,000 rounds of war is really not as good as the result of 4,000 missiles.
In short, the Imperial Army now prying open the permanent fortification group of the Crusaders by unparalleled missile bombing. If the Crusaders have lost the assistance of the missile, they will really turn this place into ground meat, and they will not be able to achieve the result of completely annihilated these more than 2 million troops at a slight cost. Even so, the Imperial Army is still paying a 7:1 casualty ratio in order to completely annihilate these Crusaders.
After Ye Xiao explained all this clearly, Bai Xiaobing muttered: "Then why did the assault cluster dig through a 50-kilometer-wide defense line so quickly when the war started? Is there an idiot behind it?"
Shi Kai smiled bitterly and said, "Lt. Bai, do you know how many missiles the Imperial Army has poured out within a range of 150 square kilometers in order to cooperate with the four airborne divisions?"
Bai Xiaobing shook his head, he really didn't know about this.
"3,300 large and medium-sized missiles! More than 3,300. Later, in order to cooperate with the assault cluster to break through the 130-kilometer division line, nearly 10,000 missiles were consumed. It can be said that all this was piled up with money, and it is reasonable to complain about the logistics now."
"If this continues, the empire will still be a big fight. If there are ten or eight battles of this scale, the empire will go bankrupt directly!"
The company commander of Houbao Company started to scream in anger.
"Do you know how much resources the two major Western forces invest in this defense line every year?" Shi Kai said: "In order to build a line of defense that never falls, the Holy See has a special iron wall tax. This tax is specifically designed to build this line of defense. There are also similar taxes on the Demon Palace. Western forces claim that this line of defense is 'only able to break through'! You may not have seen the endless bunker groups and underground fortification groups in the first three kilometers. If you see it, you will know why the consumption of the Imperial Army is so serious!"
Ye Xiao stopped his subordinates' discussion on materials and said, "Let's not talk about this, what we need to do now is to re-enforce the fortification group and meet the test that will be coming soon. The future battle will be very cruel. I don't want our 2nd Battalion soldiers to sacrifice because of fortifications!"
"Sir, can we get the replenishment of the military source?"
"I don't know," Ye Xiao shook his head. If he knew, he wouldn't be so nervous. After receiving this news from the brigade headquarters, he was in a heavy mood. From the enemy's dilemma, he could imagine how crazy the enemy he would have to face in the future. However, as the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion, he could only show his strong side: "Without replenishing troops, you can't fight?"
Facing Ye Xiaohushi's questioning, Zhao Lijian immediately shook his head: "Battleman, I'm just worried that we will not be able to defend the position until the end."
"Old Zhao, can you say less depressed words?" Sun Han glared at Zhao Lijian dissatisfiedly and promised Ye Xiao: "Don't worry, the camp is there, the position is there! If the people are gone, the position is there too!"
"The formation is there, and the formation is still there when the person is dead!" The officers assured Ye Xiao.
