Chapter 263: Go to the Station (3)

At this time, Alexandra faced two choices: to take the initiative to attack or to defend the city and clear the countryside.

If you choose to take the initiative to attack, you can then ensure the safety of the logistics supply lines and save ammunition for the next round of Mako fighter-bombers.

But this also means using up some of the precious economic reserves to train a large number of basic troops to launch this attack.

The strategy of "clearing the countryside" means concentrating all forces on collecting oil and mineral resources while confronting the VDV. This will help provide sufficient funds and military support for the next round of attack.

After much thought, Alexandra felt that it was not worth it to use an air strike in exchange for a large number of basic troops, so she decided to choose to clear the countryside.

Thinking of this, Alexandra began to prepare the trans-dimensional mining vehicles and engineers. At the same time, the adjutant also marked out several mining areas or technological drilling oil wells in the west of the town.

In addition to these, Alexandra also saw the technology bank in the town. If she could occupy it, she might be able to get a lot of reserve funds.

"Commander, in order for the subsequent offensive plan to go smoothly, we need to withdraw part of your war funds to build an outpost." As soon as Buck finished speaking, Alexandra's war funds were reduced by 20,000.

At the same time, a fund transfer option appeared in the defense column of the command terminal, indicating that this skill must be used to transfer the funds, otherwise the remaining funds will be cleared directly.

Moreover, there was actually a loss in this fund transfer. It actually cost an additional thousand yuan to transfer 5,000 war funds.

In fact, seeing this, Alexandra already wanted to say hello to the stubborn guy in the European Supreme Command. He must be crazy about money, right? Does he have to take advantage of these war funds?

However, despite the scolding, Alexandra still ordered the engineers to split into two groups. One group was to occupy the unoccupied technological oil wells in the logistics base and recover the capital boxes; while the other group was to seize the light prism tanks and trans-dimensional mining vehicles at the bridgehead and drive them back to the supply truck for repair.

"Commander, according to intelligence, we found that there are several heavy-tech concrete bunkers in the area where the town is located. They have stronger defenses and more shooting holes. Please make good use of them." The adjutant said as he asked an engineer to repair the heavy-tech concrete bunker outside the logistics base.

Seeing this, Alexandra also prepared a group of cute soldiers and heavily armored soldiers, and the armored forces in the base were also assembled.

"Commander, we have contacted the logistics headquarters in Regensburg, and they have agreed to provide us with support including advanced Pacific Front armaments."

At this time, multiple unit icons appeared in Alexandra's defense column, such as elite Prism Soldiers and Heavy Armored Soldiers, Omen and Pacific Front's respective advanced armaments, and Archon armored vehicle clusters.

Even the Archons can be divided into offensive and combat types. The former deploys prism siege soldiers, or snipers and SEALs.

Moreover, among these reinforcements, except for the infantry, each one has restrictions. Each one can provide a maximum of three waves of reinforcements. If there are more, there will be no more. This really forces Alexandra to be frugal.

At this time, Laroche also told her one thing. Although he could only guard the house here, if she could lure those VDVs over, he could command the truck guns to let these guys experience the feeling of manned space flight.

At the same time, she can also use her authority to help Alexandra "borrow" some supplies from the supply convoys passing through here.

"Thanks, sister. I'll treat you to tea sometime."

"Forget it, just finish this battle first."

While the two were chatting, Larov used his authority to build bunker defenses at the logistics base and bridgehead, and Sian Westin continued to mobilize his troops to resist the VDV's attack.

At this time, the adjutant also obtained some battlefield upgrade services. In addition to the familiar firepower, protection enhancement and self-repair, there are even reduced troop training costs, supply box support and resource exploration.

At the same time, the adjutant told her that a thermobaric airstrike on the VDV assembly point would be arranged in about half an hour. If she wanted to save the ammunition, she had to act quickly. At the same time, there was still more than half an hour to develop.

But at this time, Alexandra was commanding her regrouped armored forces to start clearing out the Su army troops in the town.

After all, she didn't want to open a new mine with great difficulty only to have it taken out or ripped off by those bastards from VDV.

Under the attack of sniper Archons, Phantoms and Prism Tanks, VDV infantry, armored vehicles and magnetic coils along the way were destroyed one after another.

Soon the commandos arrived at the other end of the highway bridge. To the north from here is the expanded mining area. At this time, the engineers had already arrived here on a thousand-mile horse.

However, in order to stop the mining-harassing troops sent by VDV, Alexandra decided to make good use of the technological defense towers and concrete bunkers here to build a line of defense.

Another good news is that the adjutant has requested a batch of Longbow helicopters for support. With them, the commandos' anti-infantry and anti-vehicle capabilities have been enhanced.

However, the commandos wanted to reach the other side of the bridge, but they had to take a detour because the bridge was blocked by a large number of unmanned vehicles. However, there were two high-tech concrete bunkers with full soldiers on the high ground blocking the way.

Then Alexandra could only obediently let the Prism tank knock down the bunker bit by bit. After that, she had to ask the engineers to repair the bunker and arrange for garrison protection.

"Commander, those VDV will definitely use air raids to harass our mining area. Please be prepared to respond."

"receive."

At this time, the VDV also detonated the explosives on the highway bridge, but apart from destroying some unmanned vehicles, there was no gain. Alexandra's armored forces also successfully wiped out the defenders at the bridgehead.

At this time, the commanders of the VDV could no longer sit still, and they immediately deployed troops to the location of their first wave of air assault, with the aim of forcing Alexandra's troops to retreat.

And as he said, in order to avoid being attacked from both sides, Alexandra could only order the armored forces to withdraw first and then rely on the old armaments of the Free Corps and La Roche's bunkers and truck artillery lines for defense.

At this time, Alexandra also noticed that in addition to the Hydra cannons and tank destroyers, the VDV airborne troops also had an armored vehicle that they had never seen before.

According to the adjutant, this infantry fighting vehicle, code-named Cossack, is equipped with a 57MM machine gun and anti-tank missiles, and has extremely abundant firepower. However, its positioning as an airborne vehicle also means that its armor is not even as good as that of the Archon.

Although VDV's offensive seems fierce, the firepower of the cute army is not to be underestimated.

While the old armaments of the Free Corps attracted the attention of the VDV, La Roche's truck guns and bunker defenses, Alexandra's armored forces and Longbow helicopters also beat up these experience packs and quickly wiped out these elite VDVs, with the cost being just some old armaments and machine gun bunkers.

After blocking this wave of attacks, Alexandra realized that the enemy probably had no money and could not even arrange many infantry.

Thinking of this, she also asked the Longbow helicopter to help defend the home, and the armored forces ignored the VDVs that continued to attack, and then began to compress the sphere of influence of the VDV assembly point.

The VDVs also faced a dilemma after being deployed. If they attacked the logistics base, the truck guns and Longbow helicopters were waiting for them. If they attacked the armored forces, the four sniper Archons and Prism tanks were enough to smash them to pieces before they even got in front of them. It was really a dilemma.

Just as Alexandra wiped out the VDV system around the highway bridge and arranged for engineers and soldiers to repair and take over the two technological concrete bunkers, a Free Corps force also arrived at the battlefield.

Although Sian Westin handed over the command of this force to Alexandra, La Roche's words also showed their purpose, which is to harass and bully those light infantry. If they fight head-on, they are basically just a bait unit.

And just as La Roche said, Alexandra pulled these old-fashioned troops to the defense line at the exit of the town to plug the gaps and clean up the fish that slipped through the net.

Although this is indeed the case, Sian Westin stubbornly stated that aren't the battles now won by warriors with firm beliefs and a lot of usable equipment?

To enhance his credibility, he even cited the battle fought by Alexandra and La Roche at Reims as an example.

However, La Roche refuted bluntly: "The soldiers of the Free Corps are just a mob, and their World War II weapons are so old that they are even rejected by scrap collectors and are far from being usable."

However, while the two were arguing, Alexandra also truly experienced the power of the Cossack infantry fighting vehicle.

A burst of fire from that machine gun and anti-tank missiles was enough to reduce a high-tech concrete bunker's health by half, and even an elite knight tank would be left with only a trace of blood.

It's just that the Cossack's durability is too low, and a few Knights and Phantoms can destroy him with concentrated fire, and the sniper Archons following behind also had a great time, and all four vehicles were already veterans.

After the armored forces established a defense line relying on the two high-tech concrete bunkers, two Maxima transport planes loaded with engineers also landed at the bridgehead. They quickly took back control of the knights, prism tanks and trans-dimensional mining vehicles at the bridgehead.

After these vehicles retreated to the rear and were arranged to be repaired by the Archons, a Knight tank detonated a large number of oil barrels piled on the bridgehead. The explosion also completely destroyed the trucks and some old armaments.

At this time, VDV also arranged more airborne troops to try to attack the newly opened second mining area in Alexandra.

But without the cover of armored forces, those light infantrymen, even if they have thicker bulletproof vests, are just targets with a little more health in front of Prism Tanks and Sniper Archons.

After Alexandra easily held the position, she began to assign Archons to the SEALs, snipers and prism soldiers in the base, while taking over the veteran-level vehicles in the repaired barracks at the second mine.

At the same time, because they had the second mine, the Meng army also prepared several full-mine super-time and space mining vehicles to come for reinforcement.

With sufficient funds, Alexandra also began to arrange some advanced armaments, such as blizzards, basalt battle fortresses and prism tanks.

"Receiving information... Commander, this is Thunder Claw Squadron. We set out from Regensburg Base five minutes ago and are moving along Highway 3. We are expected to arrive in Hengesberg within three minutes."

"Thunder Claw Squadron? They arrived just in time."

After all, even Alexandra of the Southern Crusaders is a fan of Abrams MK2, and she often communicates with Mengzhi about the various uses of Abrams MK2.

However, despite the help of the Thunder Claw Squadron, Alexandra discovered through the conversation between Laroche and Buck that the European Meng high-level officials were still xenophobic towards the Eagle Army who came here for refuge.

After all, according to La Roche, the reason why Adjutant Buck and Colonel Renteria stayed away from the top was because they had been accused of too many things.

But Alexandra didn't care about these, after all, VDV was determined to launch a counterattack.

Those radiation engineers and magnetic infantrymen, who were basically equipped with kinetic barriers and violent attacks, launched a desperate attack with the cooperation of the Cossack infantry fighting vehicles.

Under this offensive, Alexandra's armored forces lost several Archon armored vehicles and Knight tanks, and a high-tech concrete bunker was also severely damaged. Part of the garrison was also beaten by the Cossacks and not even ashes were left.

It looked like VDV's attack was working? But that hope quickly faded.

With the arrival of the Thunder Claw Squadron and another Free Corps armored unit, the arrival of these two units directly blocked the gap that VDV had just created.

What's more, Alexandra also has a barracks in the second mine. All she needs to do is rearrange the engineers and new basic infantry to repair the bunker and reoccupy it.

After filling the gap, Alexandra began her favorite part of developing with peace of mind.

Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder in her heart whether these VDV infantrymen had undergone Epsilon genetic modification. Otherwise, even for the Prism Tank that specialized in anti-infantry, it would take a salvo of fire to sniper an Archon and kill a flamethrower. It would take at least two or three rounds to be effective against magnetic infantry and Eradicators.

This kind of complaints continued until the blizzard tank reinforcements arrived. The freezing ray meant that I don’t care who you are, you’re awesome if you can survive two seconds of concentrated fire.

This also allowed the Thunder Claw Squadron to go to the Second Mine for reinforcement along with the new Archon convoy.

By the time the convoy arrived at the defense line of the Second Mine, the Second Mine was completely stabilized. Given the current offensive intensity of VDV, achieving a breakthrough in a short period of time would only be a daydream.

Alexandra also looked at the countdown for the air raid and there were still ten minutes left.

VDV was also getting anxious at this time. They added Wolfhound helicopters to the attacking team, but in the end they only received experience packs of heavy-armored Archon, Skyfire, and Blizzard tanks.

On the other hand, they began to apply for heavy weapons support from the top leaders. Alexandra also learned that the Su Army VDV had applied for heavy transport aircraft support. She was also fully prepared to welcome these "guests" from afar.

————Ten minutes later

Ten minutes passed quietly in the offensive and defensive battle between Alexandra and VDV. Except for those advanced weapons, other weapons suffered more or less losses.

For example, the two high-tech concrete bunkers, Alexandra arranged engineers to repair them many times, and the infantry inside were replaced batch after batch; almost two-thirds of the old armaments were lost, and the losses of Archon and Knight tanks also reached double digits; even only half of the Longbow helicopters were left.

As for the other commanders, they were not much better. The loss of Sian Westin's old armaments reached a staggering 70%, and La Roche's bunker defense line was also crumbling.

However, despite this, the control of those mining areas was still firmly held by the Meng army. Looking at her six-digit war funds, Alexandra ordered almost all the reinforcements and technological enhancements in one go. Although the funds soon fell to less than five thousand, she felt it was worth it.

At the same time, the passive defensive situation of the Meng army soon took a turn for the better. As several blue flares suddenly appeared at the assembly point, several Mako fighter-bombers completely destroyed the VDV's assembly point.

At the same time, La Roche's Archon armored convoy, rocket pilots, and Swanwestan's old-fashioned armaments finally entered the battlefield.

With their assistance in defense, Alexandra's armored forces were finally freed from the heavy defensive work.

After being freed, this armored force also began its offensive plan. Under the cover of the armored forces of La Roche and Sanwestan, they successfully broke into the missile launch base east of Hengistsberg.

"Well done, Commander. As long as we protect the launch pad and the defense command center, our next operation will be reinforced by Comet cruise missiles."

"It's finally over. These VDVs are really annoying. Have those guys become path-dependent?

As long as a war breaks out, their VDV will appear precisely at our important supply nodes to cause trouble."

"Colonel, I believe this will be the place where they perform their final performance. After all, they no longer have a strong armored force to help them break through like they did last year."

Alexandra also used the last few minutes to prepare the funds for recruiting the last few batches of Archon armored vehicles and some elite infantry by occupying the Technology Bank and recovering VDV funds.

But in addition to these, Alexandra also got some unexpected gains, such as the elite Cossack infantry fighting vehicles that VDV didn't want, which the engineers also accepted with a smile.

After converting the last bit of accumulated funds into war funds for the next action, the countdown will return to zero.

Soon Alexandra will command her troops to participate in the battle for the riverside road on the south bank of the Danube, and for this she has prepared eleven support troops, complete technological enhancements, a supply box and a small amount of war funds.
