Chapter 264: Go to the Station (4)
Before setting off, Alexandra also looked at the combat deployment. The two main armored divisions of the Meng Army would besiege Linz from the directions of Ottensheim and Altenberg respectively.
The only abnormality was that the Free Corps failed to stop the defensive counterattack of the Su Army, which also caused the main force to lose several logistical nodes, so there was the "Forward Station" operation.
Then La Roche also brought his men back to the Nuremberg headquarters. The Paladin tank commander who was responsible for defending the home also complained that compared to staying behind the truck gun doing nothing, he would rather go to Bohemia with his teammates to fight the Su Army Armored Division head-on.
Alexandra also expressed her blessings to Laroche and hoped that the commander of the Su army who had fought against her last time would improve his skills.
"Humph, with his stubbornness comparable to that of Samsonov, I guess he still has illusions about his poorly equipped troops."
Before leaving, La Roche also mentioned the Free Corps led by Sian Westin, and Alexandra had to smooth things over.
"Don't worry, Marshal." Of course, only Sian Westin himself knew what he was thinking.
Later, Alexandra also determined her own action plan and used the accumulated troops and resources to launch an attack on the "Stone Wall" pass on Highway 130.
The Free Corps' mission was to launch an offensive in support of Alexandra and to protect the supply convoys passing through Highway 130.
"Okay, gentlemen, let's take our positions. The battle ahead won't be easy."
After saying that, several people also boarded their respective Archon armored vehicles, followed by some Phantom and Prism tanks.
————Two hours later
After Alexandra connected the combat terminal, she looked at her war funds. The five thousand was the support she had just provided.
"Marshal, we have reached the outskirts of the Stone Wall Pass. This is our starting line." At this time, Alexandra's governor also stopped in front of a defense command post.
At this time, an MCV has been deployed below the defense headquarters. In front of it is a simple defense line built with bunkers and other technological buildings, and around it are also some armored units from various sub-camps of the Meng Army.
In addition to the basic infantry and vehicles, there are also T3 armored units such as Abrams, Prism, and Blizzard tanks among them.
Alexandra also saw the defense line built by the Su army on the ridge through the telescope and complained that the opponent's defense was really dense.
"Adjutant, how is the Su army's troop deployment?"
"Previously, the Soviet army had only arranged a small number of garrison troops for protection here, and it was obvious that their attention was focused on the two armored divisions on the north bank of the Danube.
But just yesterday, perhaps the Su army sensed our intention to attack, and they urgently transferred two motorized infantry divisions from the north bank to support us here. "
"You are dreaming. You think you can stop us with such a small force? Adjutant, please give us a briefing."
"Okay, Commander, the Stonewall Pass is also an important node on Highway 130. In order to hold on here, the Su Army even requested support from the Latin Alliance.
In addition, the supply convoy has already reached the outer area under the escort of the Balkan Free Corps. The convoy will only pass through this place if we open this pass and ensure absolute safety."
Buck then marked for Alexandra the locations of the two outposts that the Freedom Legion would advance to occupy, but because there were oil drums and suicide trucks everywhere, he also called it the "logistics supply station" of the Su Army.
In addition, the adjutant also told Alexandra that the most threatening thing was the many high-tech heavy artillery that the Su army had repaired and expanded at the Stonewall Pass.
The Meng army will not allow the supply convoy to force its way through like General Rhino who attacked the Virik Pass, so these dozen or so high-tech heavy artillery must be destroyed.
In addition, the local Su army's financial and military support basically relies on the technological reinforcement platform here. The VDV, which suffered heavy losses, also relied on these facilities to provide air support to the defenders.
Finally, it's her own turn. The reinforcements and support skills that Alexandra had prepared earlier will all rely on the call from the defense command center, and those supply boxes will also be distributed through the supply bunkers.
After saying this, he also transferred the control of the base to Alexandra.
Through the radar, Alexandra also found the specific locations of all the technological heavy artillery and technological reinforcement platforms, and the number of heavy artillery below - fifteen.
However, the current priority is to block the first wave of attack by the Su army. Alexandra began to replenish production buildings and assembled most of the armored forces in the base.
At this time, the battlefield upgrades and reinforcements that Alexandra had previously prepared are already in place, and she only needs to click the icon to have them arrive on the battlefield.
At the same time, in order to consolidate the base's defenses with Alexandra, the adjutant also provided her with the production authority of the fire control node. Although the range is not as good as the dome, the good thing is that there is no limit on the number of construction of this thing.
"Commander, the Cossack infantry fighting vehicles we captured earlier are now ready for use. Please make good use of them to deal with the infantry and light armor of the Su army.
There is also a resource exploration team that will be on the move in ten minutes to mark the available mining areas in the area.”
Alexandra's only role in these Su Jun vehicles is to serve as an engineer taxi. At the same time, she is also preparing to start repairing Archons. As for the Foxtrot Dancers, Skyfire and Blizzard will treat them well.
Just as the Meng army was busy forming defensive positions and preparing for the next attack, the Su army also launched the first wave of exploratory attacks.
The first to take the lead was the Cataclysm Tank. According to the adjutant, this tank was also an obsolete product of the Su Army, and most of the stock had been sold to the Latin Alliance at a low price.
When the two Cataclysm tanks rushed to the Meng army's position, the four Abrams tanks, accompanied by the maintenance archons, easily wiped them out.
In the following defense, the first thing the Su Army's armored forces will have to face is the Meng Army's bunker defense line reinforced by fire control nodes.
Even if they succeeded in rushing in and engaging head-on with the Meng Army armored forces, it would be too difficult to destroy the tanks protected by supply trucks, self-repair and maintenance archons.
When commanding the armored forces to rely on the bunker defense line to resist the attack of the Cataclysm tanks, Alexandra also complained to her adjutant about when the Latin Confederation would have its own armaments.
"No way, Commander. After all, we can't force a group of guys who were hiding in the mountains and playing guerrilla warfare with the Eagle Army ten years ago to become a military and technological power."
At this time, the Su army also arranged a team of Foxtrot Dancers to try to launch an air strike on the Archons and Blizzards in the convoy. Unfortunately, they were beaten down by the technological air defense positions, Skyfire and Blizzard before they could drop their bombs.
"Commander, the Comet cruise missiles are now ready for use. Use them to destroy the Su army's defenses."
Under the cover of Comet cruise missiles and Mako fighter-bombers, the armored forces also occupied the two outer technological reinforcement platforms in one go.
After clearing the enemies around the reinforcement platform, Alexandra will move the supply trucks over to cooperate with the armored forces to block the counterattack of the Su army.
After occupying these technological reinforcement platforms, the Meng army will regularly airdrop Phantom and Blizzard tanks for support.
In order to ensure the continuity of support, she will also arrange rocket pilots to cooperate with the fixed artillery defense line to protect this place.
At this time, Sian Westin also sent a message that his armored forces had completed assembly in the West Postal area and could launch an assault on Highway 130 at any time.
Alexandra also told Sian Westin to go ahead and do it, she would find a way to deal with those high-tech heavy artillery.
————Five minutes later
At this time, the four technological reinforcement platforms outside the Meng Army base had been occupied by Alexandra's engineers. At the same time, the armored forces also completely opened up the road connecting themselves and the Northwest Free Corps.
In the face of the iron torrent established by Alexandra, the Su army was basically powerless to fight back. The only casualties were a few Archons that the Su army exchanged for with the suicide attacks of Foxtrot Dancers.
However, the Su army would not sit still and wait for death. They applied for assistance from the Latin Alliance. As a loyal brother of the big brother, an MCV has been deployed in the southeast of the pass.
“Commander, these Latin Alliances appear to be preparing for a subsequent large-scale counterattack. Please prepare defensive measures.
And according to intelligence, the Su army has deployed two high-tech heavy artillery pieces to defend the bridgehead on the left, so maybe we need to change our attack position."
After listening to the adjutant's advice, Alexandra looked at the countdown in the lower right corner and was very obedient. She ordered her armored forces to abandon the original plan and advance eastward.
At the same time, after successfully establishing a forward base, the Free Corps troops were also preparing to begin attacking the Su Army's cargo transfer area along the highway, but those artillery positions still needed Alexandra to deal with.
However, in order to break through the defense line established by the Su army in the east, Alexandra used both air strikes and Comet cruise missiles here.
At the same time, in order to deal with the offensive launched by the Latin Confederation in the northwest, she also arranged for a part of the reinforcements, Mirage and Blizzard tanks, accompanied by maintenance Archons and supply trucks, to block the bridge.
With this deployment, the Latin Confederation's attacking forces would not be able to cross the bridge even with the assistance of foxtrot dancers and wolfhounds.
The main force of the Meng army heading east was also advancing rapidly. They not only occupied three technological reinforcement platforms in succession but also destroyed several technological heavy artillery.
Even the Latin Confederation's newly established base was reduced to ruins in their blitzkrieg. Even when the defenders there activated the Iron Curtain device, it did not change the outcome of their annihilation.
As for the Free Corps, although they did not have Alexandra's air support, they still successfully broke through the defense line set up by the Su Army in the cargo transfer area.
According to the adjutant, the Su army is no longer able to launch a large-scale attack on the west side of the pass. They only need to clear out the remaining strongholds there so that they can focus their main attack on the Su army's main base on the east side.
However, just as the Free Corps successfully broke through the Su army in the cargo transfer area and prepared to start the next operation, differences arose in the battle plans of Sian Westin and Alexandra.
Alexandra believed that the Free Corps had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, and those troops that had managed to survive were all injured.
In addition, if his troops want to destroy the remaining high-tech heavy artillery, they will have to spend time breaking through the defense line established by the Su army at the bridgehead based on the fire observation post.
She therefore believed that the Free Corps needed to temporarily rest and regroup its forces.
But Sian Westin disagreed. On the grounds that everything must have a beginning and an end, he directly ordered all the remaining troops to launch a strong attack on the main base of the Su army.
Moreover, Sian Westin also learned the method of killing the chicken in the basin first and asking for permission later.
Under the command of wrong ideas, the Free Corps became a sitting duck for technological heavy artillery just like General Rhino's troops. They failed to even destroy the outermost magnetic coil.
Looking at these Free Legion soldiers who died in vain, Alexandra cursed Sian Westin.
But no matter how much they cursed, the Su army’s artillery positions still had to be removed.
Under the command of Alexandra, the armored forces, which had completed the elimination of the remaining Latin Alliance and successfully blocked the counterattack of the Soviet army, also launched the final general offensive along the highway bridge.
With the help of air support and siege weapons, the heavy troops deployed by the Su army at the bridgehead quickly disappeared like snowflakes in just a few minutes. Even part of the armored forces under the bridge were annihilated by the Meng army taking advantage of the terrain.
After the bridgehead fell, the Su army stationed there also lost the last few technological reinforcement platforms and their main base.
At this time, after seeing that their base had been razed to the ground and their supplies were almost gone, most of the Su army decisively chose to charge forward.
Although the courage of these soldiers is commendable, it is like a duck opening eyes to rely solely on courage to deal with Alexandra's elite troops occupying advantageous terrain - DUCK is not necessary.
After getting rid of these seemingly powerful but actually scattered Su army troops, Alexandra and the Free Army completely destroyed all the Su army outposts on Highway 130 together.
"Well done, Commander. Now all the outposts built by the Su army on Highway 130 have been destroyed.
The supply convoy has begun to pass through Highway 130. The Free Corps troops will repair and assist some of our troops to ensure that the supply convoy can pass safely. "
As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, the first supply convoy arrived at the forward base established by the Free Corps along the highway. Although there was no air command headquarters here, Sian Westin used machine gun bunkers, fixed artillery positions and SAM anti-aircraft missiles to establish an effective defense position.
"With these supplies, the two main divisions on the front line will soon be able to receive sufficient supplies and reinforcements."
"Adjutant, that's not all. In this battle, we also dealt a heavy blow to the Su army's defense forces in Austria, and their mobile forces were basically destroyed here.
This will also significantly reduce the operational pressure on our army when we launch a general offensive against Linz in the future."
