Chapter 238 Black and White
Chapter 238 Black and White
A few days passed quickly.
On December 12, a ceremony of the priest was held at Civic Plaza in Queens, the Ninth Fortress.
The Speaker of the Parliament and the three new and old giants attended the meeting and delivered important speeches in turn. In this great expedition, the Ninth Army will be mobilized in full force to cooperate with the Second Army to launch an attack on the Xidu area.
At the same time, the First Division received orders from their superiors. The commander asked the First Division to attack as the vanguard. This was something that had been agreed upon before in the security prison. As for how to fight and how to fight, it was all decided by the commander of the First Division himself.
Beidaying No. 1 Town, factory division headquarters.
After a few days, all the military supplies of the Order Association were delivered. The first batch of support totaled 20,000 AK rifles, 50,000 bolt-action rifles, 1,000 light and heavy machine guns, 100 artillery pieces, 200 troop carriers, 50 armored vehicles, nearly one million rounds of various ammunition, hundreds of tons of fried noodles, and five tons of medical and daily necessities.
"In fact, this is only the production volume of our military factory for one quarter, and the main production capacity is concentrated on artillery and vehicles. The only shortcoming is that the association has not mastered the complete mecha production technology. This kind of technology is in the hands of various royal branches. The inheritance is orderly, the confidentiality is strict, and the process is complicated. This is also the key factor that restricts the major forces from openly rebelling."
Advisor Gu stood on the second floor and watched the soldiers distribute munitions. A large military industrial complex could not reproduce the scene of continuous artillery fire after receiving modern technical guidance, but it was still no problem to equip a regular division. Now middle and senior officers all wore light alloy combat uniforms, which could effectively reduce casualties.
"The troops will move out immediately. The First Regiment and the Guards Regiment will be in the front, the Artillery Regiment and the Mechanized Regiment will be in the center, the Second and Third Regiments will cover the left and right flanks, and the Fourth Regiment will transport military supplies."
The soldiers of the communications company immediately passed on the order.
Jiang He held up the map and checked. Two hundred miles north of here was the Black and White Pass. A normal march would take two or three days. There were two blood clan divisions stationed at the pass, with a total of 20,000 people. Except for the ruling-level wild beasts, most of the wild beasts would not actively seek out troops to die, so there was no need to consider the wild beast factor when the two sides fought.
The First Division left Town No. 1 in an orderly manner. The six regiment commanders and battalion commanders were all Shuguang people and had the ability to deal with emergencies.
Jiang He got on a special "motorhome" and caught up with the escort group that set out first. This 1500-man force was composed entirely of vicious soldiers who would fight the hardest.
……
Stepping onto the wilderness, the whistling sound of the wind filled my ears. The view around me was unobstructed, with only sparse and low bushes scattered around. The branches were twisted, brown and cracked, as if they had been drained of juice, and the shadows they cast were strange shapes.
Tens of thousands of people trudged along the march, and looking down from the sky they looked like a continuous black mass of ants. The departure of the First Division meant that the war of pioneering had officially begun.
The sand table was lifted up directly on the RV built by the Order Association. The space inside is quite spacious, and more than a dozen people can walk in it without feeling crowded. But correspondingly, this mobile command RV has many shortcomings, such as high fuel consumption, high cost, and bloated appearance. Many of its parts cannot be produced on any production line and need to be produced manually by dedicated personnel.
"Commander, the military headquarters called and asked you to translate the message yourself."
In the command vehicle, a communicator stood up and handed the telegram to the company commander, who then passed it to someone else.
Jiang He directly passed it to Ah Er next to him. Deciphering a telegram means translating the contents of the telegram into text by referring to the code book. Deciphering the contents personally means that the confidentiality level of the contents is high and even the communicator is not suitable to know it. However, common sense does not apply in the First Division.
Ah Er translated the code and reported, "Boss, the commander of the Tu army said that Master Tu's Second Division is right behind us. Most of the gathering places near the Black and White Pass area are secretly connected with the blood clan. He asked us to eliminate the gathering places on the road when we advance, so that the army can station along the way."
Jiang He pulled the dormant little white snake off its neck and coiled it in his hand. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Let me bear the blame, and he will come to the gathering place to get it. Did he say anything else?"
"No, I just hope you can bear with it."
"Burn it." "Yes."
Consultant Gu raised his eyebrows slightly. This guy really doesn't do anything without benefits.
After marching for half a day, the main force was stationed, and the vanguard armored forces, totaling 3000 people from the First Regiment and the Guards Regiment, continued to advance. They arrived at the Heibaiguan area at dawn and built a command post and trenches.
In the long and winding mountains, a majestic city lies on the land, with an unusually high height of thirty meters. There is no obstruction for more than ten kilometers in front. The blood clan did not all retreat into the city, but built three lines of defense relying on the terrain.
The Black and White Pass has been in the hands of the vampires for more than twenty years, and permanent fortifications have been built in the front and in the depths. Bunkers and trenches are scattered everywhere, and barbed wire and tunnels are stacked up.
On the top of the city wall, the blood clan Baron Russ looked up and saw that the Ninth Fortress had launched a great expedition. Xi knew everything clearly and there was no need for the Viscount's Mansion to pass on instructions. The various movements alone were enough to explain the problem.
"This armored unit should be the main division. Let's entertain the guests." Baron Russ ordered.
The adjutant took immediate action. The main soldiers of the blood clan are also humans. Since the food of the blood clan is blood, the humans living in Xidu also have the obligation to be blood bags. In history, someone had successfully escaped from Xidu and returned to the Ninth Fortress. However, after surviving for a few years, he witnessed the darkness of the family and chose to escape back. Similar things have been vigorously publicized by Xidu.
Under the dark clouds, two artillery regiments were lined up inside the pass. When the artillery roared, all the guns flashed with flames. Every shell fired would draw a conspicuous arc in the air, and then suddenly fall and disappear at the end of the flight trajectory.
Rumble!
A few seconds later, countless overlapping and resonant explosions were heard, and artillery fire ravaged the earth crazily. The bushes growing around disappeared without a trace, and the ground shook continuously.
Before the second round of artillery fire ended, the soldiers of the third line of defense launched a tentative charge under the leadership of the Blood Servant Officer.
"Infantry and artillery coordination."
In the trench, Consultant Gu said through a telescope: "Maybe the Blood Clan really has a tank cluster. The industrial base outside the Great Wall is not vegetarian."
Jiang He waved his hand and gave an order, and A'er led his men to fire intensively. Being passive at this moment was not meaningless. The vanguard must lay the foundation for the artillery regiment and the main force. Artillery is like a big tree, and it is difficult to move quickly once it takes root.
But the 1st Division was no normal unit.
Rumble!
Artillery fire covered the land, and smoke rose in the air.
"Everyone, leave your position and retreat." Jiang He ordered.
The order was quickly delivered by a messenger. As the largest investor, Consultant Gu was stunned and angry. "Don't be kidding me."
Faced with high-intensity bombardment from artillery clusters and infantry charges, most elite troops can maintain their morale by staying where they are. However, a defeat is like a landslide, and once they withdraw, it will be extremely difficult and counterattack under the bombardment, which goes against common sense.
"I'm glad you think so."
Jiang He was the first to withdraw from the trench, which meant that the commander on the opposite side had roughly the same view.
