"Damn it! There was no artillery support,......" Harold said with a depressed sigh as he held his weapon in the bumpy car.

As interstellar paratroopers, they actually have very little artillery support, but this operation is accompanied by a large force, and there is no artillery support, which is obviously a little depressing.

The crew of another commando sitting in the car grinned: "No way! In this state, if you want to use artillery, you still need to wait, although the capacity is huge, but it is still not sufficient. ”

There are no roads in this world, and the road conditions are not good, which makes it difficult for cars to travel.

Perhaps, this is one of the means used by this world to stop the attack of the Irlanhill Empire's forces.

Another commando, holding his own weapon, explained: "Or rather, it's too cost-effective. We occupy a planet, and if we transport too many weapons, we will end up stranded on this planet. ”

This is a cost-determined situation, and weapons must be transported to the place where the war breaks out when they are needed.

However, with the end of the war, most of these weapons that were transported to the battlefield over long distances could no longer be transported.

After all, there is no second war that breaks out, so those cheap and heavy weapons and equipment can only be left in place, or even completely wasted.

Therefore, the Irlanhill Empire is very selective when it comes to sending troops to the front line - many well-known weapons are actually not transported to the front line at all.

For example, large-caliber artillery was basically not shipped to Planet Hope 2. This kind of easy-to-use suppressive weapon, because of its large size and high ammunition demand, was easily abandoned by the military leadership.

If strategic suppression is required, space destroyers staying in high orbits can use electromagnetic main guns for artillery bombardment, and if tactical suppression is required, let the Air Force make do with suppression, and it will be fine.

Even the Air Force has no plans to massively transport aircraft to Hope-2. Everyone thinks that having a dragon knight is enough.

Because of this, in fact, now look at the forces deployed by the Ellan Hill Empire on Planet Hope 2? In fact, it is still very "shabby" in scale.

The real main force was actually only a heavy armoured grenadier regiment commanded by Burrison? There is also a small interstellar paratrooper special operations force led by Harold.

The remaining three divisions of light infantry are all battle puppet robots. The combat effectiveness of these troops is actually really low? Just because the weapon suppressed the other side? That's why it can be used as a real army.

Of course, supporting this force? Is it a battalion of logistical supply electric trucks, a reinforced Type 99 tank company? There is another unit of UH-60 helicopters.

On the Air Force? In addition to 2 A-10 attack aircraft, the only thing left was the Dragon Knight troops. And the size of the dragon knight army is actually not very large, only 60 of them.

No way, as an air unit? There are simply too many advantages of the Dragon Knight. More than just not needing the support of ground staff? You can also find food supplies in the local area, which is so convenient.

In addition, these Dragoons can continue to fight when they run out of ammo, and maintain a very high attendance rate without the need for large supplies.

Compared with? As the first wave of troops to enter the battlefield, the Dragon Knight troops are simply the most perfect.

Don't you see? The two A-10 attack planes that arrived in advance have not yet been able to go into action? It also needs some more maintenance before it can take off.

Rely on this force to crush the entire planet? Apparently unlikely. Able to beat each other? Make the other side aware of the disparity in power between the two sides? Honest surrender is actually the right choice.

It is precisely because of this that when Burrison issued the battle order, he asked the troops to focus on driving and defeating, and not to carry out a war of annihilation.

He asked the attacking troops not to kill or damage a large number of the enemy's living forces, hoping that during the later negotiations, the hatred of the other side would be diluted and the negotiations would be easier.

Promoting peace by fighting is the goal of his attack. As for how many enemy troops to destroy, this was not at all in Burrison's consideration.

If he wants to destroy the opponent on a large scale, as long as he grabs the phone and calls the destroyer fleet above his head to shell the most prosperous area of the opponent, he can instantly annihilate a large number of the opponent's living forces.

Mighty puppet robots carrying their own weapons are electric trucks on both sides of the not-so-wide road, full of potholes, one electric truck after another.

These trucks were loaded with a variety of supplies, ranging from magic hedron batteries needed by the puppet troops, ammunition they might consume, food and fresh water for the heavy armourier troops, and a variety of equipment.

According to the plan, after defeating the opponent's defenses, they will set up a new defense node in the place called Soth City.

Then, they have to disperse their forces, control the nearby area, and then find a way to communicate with the Rock Empire, so that the other party will also surrender honestly and hand over all their power.

Just as the ground troops were advancing, overhead, the dragon knight troops poured out. This time, they carried 250 kg of aerial bombs on the hind feet of the wurm under their crotch.

The choice of bombing mounts is to create as much chaos as possible, so that the defenders of the Rock Empire stationed in the city of Soth will abandon their useless fortifications.

"What a backward thing! This kind of air support was almost eliminated five years ago. Harold looked through his car window and saw the dragon knights moving away, and his tone was very emotional.

Another commando sitting next to him smiled and said, "yes, I didn't expect them to come back." ”

"Stop complaining! Look over there! The commando sitting by the window on the other side pointed out the window and said, "They brought this thing here, why don't they send two more dragon knights over!" ”

The electric car with strong off-road performance drove down the roadbed, and saw a Type 99 main battle tank, clumping and moving slowly on the road.

"Hah!" When Harold saw the Type 99 main battle tank, the expression on his face was also wonderful: "Why not change to the M109 howitzer?" ”

"Are you on your first day in the army? Now that there is a shortage of heavy equipment everywhere, isn't it already a common practice to find what to use? A bearded commando rubbed the bridge of his nose and complained.
