Vol 2 Chapter 1009: Highland war (two in one)

At the same time that Clos Bell launched a vigorous final counterattack, the Nord Plateau in the north of Ereponia is also bidding farewell to the rare calm morning during this period and ushering in the storm after dawn.
"The battle plan is divided into four parts." Li En and others were in the standby position, recalling the final battle order issued by Sykes Vandel earlier in the meeting room of the "Kanda Gate" earlier yesterday. "On the first road, I will personally lead the elites of the "3rd Mecha Division". Starting from the "Kanda Gate", starting from the A on the west side of the monitoring tower, they start from above to the plain where the monitoring tower is located. Under the raid. Lieutenant General Sykes pointed to a place on the map-the topographic map showed that there was a section of that was about fifty sub-dimens higher than the average height, and from the direction of the monitoring tower, it was because the line of sight The reason for the angle is a blind spot, so it is most suitable for large-scale direct raids.
However, choosing this route also means that it is very possible to directly expose the cross-section of the troops to the camp in the south where several other noble coalition troops are stationed. If they receive news to come to support, then no matter what , The main force of Sykes will be flanked by both sides-therefore, Lieutenant General Sykes requested that the operation must be completed within two hours to avoid larger losses.
"The second place is an assault team composed of special forces from the 3rd Mech Division. They will be broken up into teams of 5 to 8 people and harassed on the plains north of Norder. The methods include but are not limited to Landmines, sensor explosives and other dangerous weapons. Therefore, Gaius, since Patriarch Lagan and the others have nodded their heads, please tell your tribesmen. During this time, do not go to the northern part of the plateau to avoid encountering To danger."
"I understand." Gaius nodded, not loud, but reassuring.
"Third, Li Enjun...you have to lead the facilitators, take advantage of the blind spot you mentioned before, sneak into the vicinity of the monitoring tower to wait for the opportunity, and immediately after the main force of the "monitoring tower" is transferred out, sneak in and Infiltration work, the goal is to destroy the device at the top of the tower. "Lieutenant General Sykes continued, "I have prepared a powerful blasting device for you. At that time, it will be operated by Captain Claire, and it will be blown up directly, without having to talk with the defenders there. Retreat immediately after the mission. "
"Yes." Li En nodded.
"Finally, it was arranged by me before. It was located on the south side of the surveillance tower to cover your leaving troops... After you successfully escaped, we then surrounded the defenders in it and took them down. Then, we recovered to Jian again. Go in. Damen.
Lieutenant General Sykes said at last,
After that, Captain Cleia can inform Lieutenant General Craig of the cause and effect of the matter, and we will respond to their actions and create two sides for the Marquis of Rogner. Pressure...In this way, they dare not devote all their resources to me."
"In this way, Nautia State will be one step closer to liberation... After that, is it to see how Heliga is going to operate?" Tovar sighed, "The plan is good... but it always feels like it is actually implemented. When you do, you will encounter various problems."
"Aside from anything else, the group of hunters yesterday was a little clueless." Alyssa said a little uneasy. "And in this way, if the Marquis of Logna can't win the Kanda Gate in a short time, he will pay attention. Re-focus on downtown Luray, this way..."
"Don't worry... Didn't Lieutenant General Sykes tell me that Alyssa's mother has noble help, and nothing will happen for a while." Li En said with relief.
"Furthermore, Ms. Irina is also an extremely smart person. I don't think our actions can escape her eyes, nor do I think she will not be able to predict what we can all predict. She should have been prepared long ago. Now." Emma also added.
"That's also... it's that person after all." Alyssa's expression eased a little, and she didn't worry so much.
"Next, are you waiting for the signal from Lieutenant General Sykes... Lieutenant General Sykes is still on time. There should be no surprises..."
"Well. I'll follow the previous squad action later... Be sure to pay attention to their own safety and maintain the integrity of the formation." Crea said, "This is not an exercise, it is a battle with real guns, and it is not strong. Asylum of the strongest people, there may be various situations and dangers-the lieutenant general has also explained before, if it fails, keep the strength to retreat, don't attack hard, don't try hard...understand?"
"Hmm!" everyone agreed in unison.
At the same time, a loud noise pierced the sky, smelling of gunpowder in the morning of this originally quiet plateau.

"Sure enough!" Located in the west of the Nord Plateau, the noble coalition soldiers who have been monitoring the movements around the "monitoring tower" from a distance jumped up excitedly, "Sure enough, as the Lord Marquis said!"
"That's right... It seems that they are already very anxious because of the communication problem." Another officer said as he quickly picked up the portable communicator at hand and dialed a number, "In that case... …Just waiting for them to enter the attack site, before dispatching the ambush."
"Yeah. Remember to emphasize when conveying the order, don't care about the opponent's counterattack, just annihilate the enemy. Some small injuries will not get in the way at all. If this time we can weaken the fellow of Sykes severely, we will follow The pressure will be much easier, and you will no longer need to pay attention to the group of guys in the Republic."
"It's...we wouldn't need their help if it weren't for the rebellious reformist minions." It can be seen that the officers were very reluctant and annoyed about cooperating with the Karvard Republic. Because his words were nodded and approved by everyone present.
Subsequently, the officer successfully connected the communications of the troops at the ambush site and asked one of the "Northern Hunters" to accompany them.
"But, isn't this a bit weird... Guy Sykes, even in this case, as a wise general, he wouldn't be so impulsive. He actually led the main force to dispatch..." After the order was issued, a few The commander realized what was abnormal after the joy passed.
"I don't know... Maybe he also found a secret way to fight against it." Another officer didn't take it seriously. "But no matter how hard you try, it's futile. They managed to get close to the surveillance tower. "Before, it would be run into by our troops. By the way... To be on the safe side, let's just pull out a part of the guards of the monitoring tower and flick it back and forth. How about? "
"Is that okay? Your Excellency the Marquis seems to have said that you should not easily mobilize the army there before a very moment..."
"Sex Vandel was dispatched personally. Isn't this still an "extraordinary moment"? I said to you, there must be a workaround to execute the orders of the Marquis. I'm your favorite general of the Marquis, you listen to me, it's better to capture the old thing of Sykes alive this time, and we will take him to see the Marquis Rogner-you don't always want "RF Agency" Is it the newest type of sports car? Afterwards, you take this matter to the President Haider, and promise to give him as much as you want. "
"..." The younger officer still had a little hesitation about this matter. However, in the end, he obeyed this set of remarks as to the assurance of the chief slapping his chest, and then dialed the communication towards the monitoring tower.

"Do you want us to take the initiative? What a joke." However, things are not that simple. The guards of the watch tower that received the order refused to carry out this order for a simple reason: in the previous remarks of the Marquis Rogner, except because they were irritated by the fact that they were simply returned by Varut. In addition, one additional point was emphasized, that is, the importance of the surveillance tower to the Marquis Rogner in the current battle situation-out of consideration of this importance, the Marquis of Rogner severely dealt with the soldiers stationed here. The order includes the article not to mobilize troops without authorization. It has to be said that the Marquis Rogner, who was a soldier, was still very deterrent when speaking, and his name was placed here, these soldiers who had been scared by Varut. He found it again aggressively, and told Varut directly what the Marquis Rogner had said-Varut didn't say anything about it, so since then, these soldiers have been stationed again nearby. In the barracks, strict patrols every day did what the Marquis Rogner ordered.
Now, faced with a so-called "transfer order" that was not even from the superior, but from the same level, the commander here naturally did not dare to confront the Marquis Rogner's order, so he strictly refused.
"If Sykes Vandel's army moves near the monitoring tower and enters the range of his heavy artillery, it will be too late for you to attack again at that time!" This is the urging from the friendly forces, "Now dispatch, it's on the hills. In a decisive battle, our flanking forces and your mechs can make dumplings!"
"The order given to me by the Marquis of Rogner is to stick to this place, and it is strictly forbidden to use one soldier." The commander plausibly said, "Therefore, we will not dispatch our troops at will, at least until Sykes van der reaches us. Before within the realm."
"At that time, you will basically enter the plain where you are. Are you going to fight against Sykes's tanks with mechas on the plain?"
"This..." The officer hesitated. Originally, his idea was very simple: Even if Lieutenant General Sykes' troops are directed at here, then they, as flanking friendly forces, attack Sykes's army. Attacking the cover watch tower was originally part of the job, and the importance of the watch tower was emphasized time and again by the Marquis Rogner. Unless they are invaded within the territory that they have to fight back, they should not leave here. That's right. However, the officer just now was right: in order to build the monitoring tower, the original construction team deliberately selected a plain area with no line of sight, and had undergone artificial ground shaping. This is a rare place. From a military point of view, it seems to be a plain in the absolute sense-except that a few trenches were dug near the monitoring tower as a place for the infantry to station, the mecha as the core of the noble coalition's overall combat, there is nothing in this terrain Advantageous-completely exposed to the artillery fire of regular army tanks, which means that no matter how to dodge, there is nowhere to hide under the rain of guns and bullets of the opponent, and the weak armor sacrificed for speed performance is in this case Naturally, the life safety of every soldier was threatened. From this perspective, if you can set off to the hilly area in advance, and use your own terrain advantages there, you may be able to change the situation a little bit-plus, at least the friendly forces have indeed been dispatched...
"Let's do it... You take a small team to support you. After arriving at the destination, observe the situation and then make a report. We will then decide on the situation of the second wave of attacks." In the end, the commander decided to make temporary changes. Order-at least I still kept most of the main force within the scope of the monitoring tower, so in case something happens, it is considered room for discussion with the Marquis of Logna.

"Four mechas and a small number of infantry units have left..." Crea took out her binoculars, and while watching the movement of the guards on the monitoring tower in the distance, she whispered, "It seems that the Marquis Rogner told them They gave the order to stay here, which made them dare not act rashly when they knew that there was war around."
"It's just this little force transfer, we still can't do it. The gap is still huge..." Toval said, "What should I do?"
"Don't worry... there should be some action," Claire said softly. "Yesterday Lieutenant General Sykes said that this might happen... We just have to wait."
"What should I do?" Gaius wondered.
"I think that maybe the regular army will deliberately collapse when they are fighting, luring the noble army to chase... the main force in the north should be trapped in a minefield, which can be used as a strategic depth, as long as it is not close to the minefield." Kleiya thought for a while, and said, "As for the frontal troops...maybe also fight and retreat. If the soldiers of the noble coalition feel that they have a chance of winning, they may send out more defenders on the monitoring tower."
"That's it... you deserve to be Lieutenant General Sykes. But, is it possible for the soldiers of the noble coalition to be fooled so easily?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Claire smiled. "The reason why Lieutenant General Sykes is called a wise general is because he has the strategic ability to turn the impossible into possible."
