Chapter 265: Go to the Station (5)
———Three days have passed since the Stonewall Battle was successfully concluded.
Outside the New Town Hall in Linz, several commanders of the main divisions began chatting as they looked at the surrounding army patrols and the Harrier fighters passing in the air.
"It's a relief that the Stickys didn't transform Linz into a defensive position. If they were determined, they could have set up a few Kornet anti-tank missiles in the old town hall.
It is not so easy for my armored troops to pass through the Nibelungen Bridge and enter the city. "The Anvil" Armored Division Commander Berger said with emotion
"Just be happy on the sly, Bergé, you don't know that the Su army's main defense direction is in the industrial zone.
My goodness, did they learn civil engineering technology from Seris? That defensive position is almost digging through the center of the earth.
If it weren't for the help of the new truck gun, it wouldn't be so easy for us to wipe out the Su army there, but we have already bombed that place into the surface of the moon, and there is no way we can recover in a short time." Another air assault division commander, Sterling, complained. His unit code name is "Autumn Leaf".
"Yes, fortunately, Marshal Alexandra wiped out all the mobile forces of the Su Army before the general offensive began."
"Yes, if they can arrange some mobile troops, even one or two regiments will be enough to give us a hard time."
"By the way, where is the Marshal now?"
"EMM, you are familiar with her personality. Logically, she should be visiting the wounded in the field hospital in the rear, but now..."
Looking at Sterling's eyes, Bergé looked back and found that the commander he had just asked was right behind him.
"Commander? You shouldn't."
"What's wrong... Can't I come back to see you guys? By the way, let's talk business first.
The recovery of Linz is only our first battle, and we have many more battles to fight."
"That's true, but Commander, I heard that those notorious guys from the Free Corps also joined the battle?"
"Yes, although their equipment is backward, it is still somewhat useful. However, considering their reputation, I will try to keep an eye on them in the future."
"That's good. In fact, both of us and your old friends are worried that you might be deceived by the sweet words of the politician Swanwestan.
After all, those guys are also known as the 'Butchers of Sarajevo', so it's better to be cautious."
"Come on, I'm your commander. Please don't think I'm so easily fooled. By the way, I asked Sophie (La Roche) for some new equipment. Come and have a look."
On the way, the two division commanders also expressed their gratitude to Alexandra. After all, they were all those who were excluded by the Meng Army’s Supreme Command.
Soon they saw several Paladin hunting tanks and Korfiring howitzers parked at the station. Both division commanders said that these equipment were much better than those flashy and useless ones before World War III that only served to cheat military budgets.
However, the two also asked Alexandra a question: Should we focus on artillery technology or armored forces?
Alexandra also expressed her own inclination, abandoning the confrontation between armor and shells and embracing the integration of signals and fire. If possible, the enemy's armored forces should be destroyed by artillery, and the performance of the Paladin tank is sufficient to clean up the mess.
Bergé also complained about whether Alexandra was influenced by Admiral La Roche. At the same time, he also raised an objection, that is, we currently do not have the perfect personnel and equipment like others to operate that combat system.
Alexandra's rebuttal was simple. The next battle was not a stable trench warfare. On the contrary, it was a stage for the rapid penetration of armored forces. Therefore, they needed more support from mobile artillery.
Finally, Alexandra ended the impromptu meeting with a few words.
"Congratulations to both of you for a successful start in Linz. Now the door to Vienna is open for us and it's time to make Su Ni pay for their stupid strategy.
We will march eastward along the Danube and push our front into Hungary in one fell swoop."
"Yes!! Commander" (Salute)
"No need to be polite, both of you just get ready."
After seeing the two leave, Alexandra also said in her heart.
"The recovery of Linz and the whole of Austria is only the first step. From Chobrun to Brasov, there are still many places that we need to recover.
As for the battle for the Forward Station, it is only the 'end of the beginning'. Our journey in the old lands of Inner and Outer Leitania has just begun."
