Vol 2 Chapter 1044: Severe situation

Heliga walked into the makeshift command room surrounded by a group of officers reluctantly. This once seemed to belong to a village, and the villagers were moved away early because the war took place in their village. Up. The so-called command room is just the largest house among them.
However, the sparrow is small and complete. Even in this case, there are a lot of things that should be there-the room is very tidy and tidy, and the topographic map of the neighborhood is posted on the wall, covered with dense contours and hand-painted. Landmarks; and a picture used to express the confrontation and stationing of the noble army. On the sand table on the desktop is a comprehensive communication constructed with new electronic technology, with bright spots indicating the locations of the small garrisons.
"That's it... From this headquarters, there is only one road to the west to the direction of the noble army position. About one-fifth of the troops are arranged in the direction that can be turned around, and the terrain is used to block... It feels safer." Heliga looked at the contour lines and pointed to one of the gaps.
"Yeah...but it's a pity that there is a dead end. The ambush has been explored, and there is the direction to the Marquis of Haines. Therefore, it can only guarantee that it will not be attacked, and it cannot be used as a rear base." Olibat Said, "And to be honest, for the combined armies of the two mecha divisions...Even if the combat forces are reduced, the actual combat numbers have been reduced a lot, and the organization has been compressed, but this is still not the place near this place. Provide enough supplies."
"I understand... Even the imperial army’s rations, I’m afraid it won’t last long." Helija nodded, thinking of the moldy bread and salty beans that the imperial army ate. , What was your original plan?"
"From here to the northwest, about 1,500 sel moments away, there is a fortress that once belonged to the regular army." Olibate motioned to an officer next to him to answer Heliga's question. He took a step forward reluctantly-Heliga noticed that his chest was a general of the regular Empire, but there was only one horizontal bar in his epaulette, and he should be a senior officer of the rank of deputy division commander or brigade commander. He pointed to a huge red marker in the upper left corner of the map, and said:
This was once used as a station for regular troops, but then Prime Minister Osborne increased his military budget and planned to replace and demolish a batch of old fortresses. Build new military fortresses in new places."
"I heard... this is how Garelia Fortress came." Heliga nodded, "Then, that fortress was once used as a stationing point for the regular army, but was to be demolished in the future plan. Up?"
"That's right... Actually, the cleanup work there started about five years ago. It's just that because it's on Duke Kane's site for the time being, the progress of the project will always be hindered in various ways. I heard that your Prime Minister It’s not uncommon for the military commander to quarrel with Kane over this matter... In short, for this reason, the fortress is actually quite well-preserved. Although the surrounding checkpoints have been removed, The main body of the fortress, the two stations on the east and the northwest, and the hidden tunnels in it should still be intact. If you can occupy there, it should last longer."
"..." Heliga looked in the direction of the mark—it was not easy for the whole army to rush there. Not only have to get out of the hills on which the current regular army depends, and go to the great plains, most of them have suffered heavy losses, and the tank units, which are still in a semi-maintenance state, go against Alleria and Wo The elite troops of the two famous generals of Leis had to use rapid maneuvering to occupy that fortress that currently does not know how many functions it still retains-the time is too tight.
"Besides, just wanting to get there is not an easy task. We can think of the things that Rufas naturally also thought of... Not only did we place General Alleria and Wo on the only way. A heavy army like General Reis has also set up minefields on the northern outer side." Olibat said in a deep voice, "Because of the continuous support, even if the engineers here are dispatched to remove those mines, there will still be The constant supply of troops-we can't find out what is true or not, and it is difficult to make correct decisions."
"The entire western part of the empire...Are there other regular reinforcements?" Heliga asked.
"There are also three divisions, separated by the main force of the noble army, probably in the northeast." Oribat said, "There is nothing we can do there, because the support of the sea fortress Juno can directly lead there. … There are four regular army divisions in Sasha Rand State, but the Marquis of Haines made a quick attack at the beginning of the civil war, and quickly deployed his troops, suppressing the momentum of the regular army counterattack. Now, Sasha The situation in Rand State has basically stabilized."
"However, it is said that the Marquis of Haynes did not completely blockade the regular army in the fortress...On the contrary, he allowed regular soldiers to come out at certain times to replenish munitions and supplies." Another officer said-he He is also a senior officer of the same rank as the previous officer.
"Huh... sly old fox. He didn't live up to his reputation by doing this." Heliga smiled. "In this case, no matter what the outcome of the civil war, he will have an explanation at last. If the noble army wins, then Although he did not take the initiative to send troops to help the other three nobles, he solved the troubles in the territory for the first time, firmly suppressed the regular army there, and put them into a situation where they could not move. The credit is not small. We also make sense there; if the regular army can assess the rebellion of the noble army, then his behavior can basically make him punished to the lightest degree... he did not send troops rashly and did not commit too many atrocities against the regular army. It is estimated that even the military committee of the imperial capital will not hold him accountable."
"Yeah... I think so too. So I asked them not to worry too much that the Marquis of Keynes will attack us from the back... But the siege ahead must also be lifted." Oriba nodded his head, "This is the current situation. The dilemma."
"Almost understand... In short, it is to find a way to break through the front line of defense and occupy the fortress, right?" Heliga nodded, "In this case, I have a note... but, it sounds like it might be. It's strange."
