16. Fortress VS Fortress (20)
Compared with Charlemagne, who is sometimes bloody, the elves who are sullen, a little paranoid, and obsessive-compulsive tend are obviously much more reliable. Sometimes it even makes people wonder if these guys can be lazy.
Basically, there are very few people in the world who would inexplicably wish others to slack off on their work, but the enemy and certain groups that specialize in dealing with their own people are not. There is no more headache in this world than the industrious and intelligent enemy, the dedicated and stupid gendarme, the secret police, the General Staff. But Charlemagne is the most lacking of these things.
"By now, we were able to fully figure out the exact location of the Iserlohn battery, the configuration of the surrounding firepower. We only have images captured during the shelling, from which we roughly guess that the location of the battery should be near Lunneville. β
Roland said, pointing to the map.
The Iserlohn battery is usually covered by phantom magic, and it is impossible to detect it even if it flies over the battery, not to mention that the defense forces are completely in control of the air supremacy, and it is impossible for Charlemagne to conduct aerial reconnaissance. The fort itself is placed in the center of the fortified area, and it is impossible for espionage methods and commandos to penetrate and reconnoiter beyond the protection of physical and security means.
The only signs of the supercannon are the loud noise from the shelling, the shock wave and red flash trajectory left by the friction of the hypersonic cannonball against the air.
"It was a heavy artillery shell equipped with a strategic attack technique, and there were no flashes or explosions of fire detected at the scene, and there was no rocket tail flame...... In other words, not any of the conventional artillery shells, rocket range extenders, or guided rockets. The only possibilities left are electromagnetic guns that use electromagnetic forces for long-range fire projection. β
"Railgun?"
"A kinetic energy projectile weapon that accelerates a metal projectile through an electromagnetic field generated by an orbit or coil. The range and muzzle velocity of the projectile were greatly increased compared to the projectile propelled by gunpowder. As long as the power provided is sufficient, it is not a problem to project multi-ton shells hundreds of kilometers away. β
"I actually prepared this kind of thing......
Valrhona let out a sigh of relief, preparing this killer plan early, which shows how devoted and persistent Li Lin and Yalfheim are to this war. With this superweapon at hand, it's easy to force your opponent to submit or annihilate them. No wonder they have no interest in peace at all.
"How long is the interval between launches?"
"Without the problem of barrel ablation and rifling wear, the loading and firing speed will be much faster, considering the size of the reloading technique, the caliber of the shell will not be less than 600mm, and the maximum is about 1000mm. The process of lifting shells from the ammunition depot, loading, aiming, correction, etc., is counted...... It takes about 15 minutes to half an hour. It couldn't be any faster. β
In other words, you can shoot at least 48 rounds a day...... As long as there are enough shells, working overtime can turn Charlemagne into ruins?"
"It's not funny at all. β
Sighing, Roland put away his whip.
Thanks to Charlemagne's backward media system and Alfheim's failure to reveal the actual situation, intelligence controls can still work. But no one knows how long this will last, once Alfheim reports on intimidation, or destroys a few more cities and lets the cruel facts educate Charlemagne...... Unless Charlemagne is a silicon-based creature, bombing up to 10 cities will cause Charlemagne to fly white flags all over the country.
(The reason why there was no large-scale propaganda was because I didn't want to provoke the nations too much, and at the same time I believed that Charlemagne would launch a desperate general attack after being attacked, and then I would be able to turn the Siegfried Line and the Iserlohn Fort into a meat grinder, and after strangling all Charlemagne's living forces, I would like to send mechanized troops to advance quickly and take down all of Charlemagne in one go.) It will be too late for the nations to intervene, if they want to. οΌ
Roland, who was staring at the map to deduce Alfheim's tactics, did not realize that his speculation was reasonable, and no military general would dispute this inference. After all, the two major prerequisites of "thoroughly realizing the strategic objectives" and "ending the war as soon as possible" have been fully satisfied in this prediction, and the concept of "efficiency first" that Li Lin has always advocated has also been well embodied.
Indeed, this speculation gives the impression that all the pieces of the puzzle fit together perfectly.
But.
Is this combination too perfect?
No one, including Roland, has yet noticed the devil hidden in the details, and the hell that lurks behind the devil.
All eyes were forced to clutch at the imminent threat.
"The focus is on how to break through. β
Roland tapped on the map and pushed a white "Rook" piece made of marble forward.
"The army's plan is to carry out a frontal assault with the 'City of Condors' as the core. As soon as air supremacy was ensured, the ground forces immediately followed, opened a breakthrough with air-ground coordination, and rushed to the Iserlohn battery in one go. β
"It's a big deal, and it's an unprecedented mass suicide. β
The spider whistled, and the others had expressions of not knowing what to say.
If repeating the same mistake after suffering once can be called stupidity or poor memory, then repeating the same mistake in the same posture over and over again can only be regarded as mentally retarded or brain-dead. For the safety of others and the person himself, he should be immediately admitted to the hospital for long-term closed treatment. As for putting a group of such brain-dead people in key positions in the country and the army, and letting them command millions of soldiers to go to the front...... The joke is almost unrealistic.
But this is the reality that Roland and they have to face - they have a group of supergod-level pig teammates on their side, and they can't stop it.
Since they can't be stopped, they can only think about how to deal with the aftermath, or how to use this wave of pigs to advance suddenly.
"If you want to survive and avoid defeat, you can only carry out the operation of airborne Iselon Battery. β
Gritting his teeth, Roland picked up the "knight" chess piece hiding behind the "chariot", and pressed the snow-white horse's head against the head of the black "king".

"If the enemy is smart enough, they should adopt the tactic of pinning down head-on and outflanking the rear of the battery. More specifically, it is to launch a large-scale frontal attack, attract the attention of our troops, use camouflage ships or something to bypass the defensive line, cut into our supply routes, and then quickly march towards the Iserlohn turret. Since the firepower of the defensive line was always directed towards Charlemagne's side, it was completely undefended against attacks from behind. At this time, just a few explosives packs can turn the 'Mjolnir', which costs hundreds of millions of gold marks, into a pile of scrap metal. β
"What do you mean by 'only'...... Which side are you on?"
Tristan in the communication interface covered his forehead vigorously, and he could only feel deep helplessness at the slightest time that Parsifal did not speak consciously as a soldier, no matter how many times he heard it.
If it weren't for this lack of motivation, this guy who loves black tea might have been transferred to the General Staff a long time ago, and even if he was unlucky, he might have become the commander of a small fleet, and he would have been respectfully called "Admiral".
"That's a basic fact. β
To remind his friend, Parsifal only made a formal apology and thanks in his heart, and still said a speech that was suspected of defeatism.
"The traditional two-dimensional battlefield offense and defense are evolving into a three-dimensional three-dimensional integrated battlefield, and the boundary between the front and the rear has long been blurred. We are just a few steps ahead of our counterparts in various countries, and people are not stupid, and we will follow up soon. Isn't the attack and defense of the Saint-Dije base a good proof of this?"
Tristan lowered his forehead with a thoughtful expression on his face.
War is the best and worst teacher, in the battlefield of continuous development and evolution, the slightest laziness and backwardness, will immediately be brutally punished, and in serious cases, it will even be directly eliminated from the game and become the object of other people's dissecting and research.
In this respect, the Defence Force can be said to be the best example for its opponents.
Inflicting air power on enemy forces that do not have air supremacy, weakening enemy combat effectiveness by not simply striking at the logistics system, operating intelligence, and inducing enemy forces to make choices. Coupled with the "total war" β these never-before-seen new things are showing their effectiveness and being imitated and borrowed by other countries in order to be put into practice in the next war.
Against this backdrop, if he continues to cling to his sense of superiority and indulge in the preconceived notions of "impossible" and "war is what it is", Alfheim will become the Charlemagne of today.
"So, what do you think the other party will do?"
Tristan, who entered the state, asked rhetorically:
"If you do do carry out airborne operations, you will be the first to meet them. β
"According to the previous battle examples of the attack and defense of the Saint Diere base, as well as a careful analysis of all the actions of that holy girl, I have roughly figured it out. β
Human beings are creatures with personalities.
Not only words, daily behavior, but also in the highly complex and ever-changing environment of combat, each person's personality will leave an exclusive trace on the battlefield like a fingerprint. After analyzing these traces and repeatedly reading and analyzing the battlefield report, you can always grasp some clues. Follow these tiny clues to reproduce the mental structure of the target object, and be ready to attack its vital point in the next battle.
This is intelligence warfare.
"First of all, she's not a brute force. In even the most desperate of adversity, she scrutinizes her enemies and looks for 'unnatural' areas of their actions β often weaknesses. Then defeat the enemy in the quickest and most effective way, usually with precision strikes that resemble surgery. Secondly, her way of thinking is very flexible, she does not stick to the existing model, and can quickly adapt to changes in the situation and the situation of the war. In the end, she was clear about what was the point, what was the means, and what was the end. In a word, this is a born battlefield genius. β
After a pause, and after moistening his throat with black tea, Parsifal said with an expression of seriousness that he had never seen before:
Judging by the cards in her hand, the personality that makes the most of the cards in her hand, and the urgency to turn things around as quickly as possible. She will let Charlemagne's army attack with all her might, drawing our attention through the large rock that floats leisurely in the sky, and revealing the full firepower. Then the moment the gap is revealed, that is, the minutes before and after Thor's hammer fires, a powerful airborne operation is carried out. β
"Mjolnir" is a near-perfect strategic weapon.
The Nibelungen's inability to fire continuously, the lack of power of the guided rocket, and its vulnerability to interception in the ascending stage - these problems were largely solved with the "Thor's hammer". As long as you pay attention to the maintenance of the system, such as the impact of transmission lines, capacitors, sensors, and the shock wave of hypersonic shells on the body, the "Mjolnir" can operate until all the land outside of Alfheim is scorched.
But it's just almost perfect.
The cannon itself is quite vulnerable to an external attack, and even the destruction of even a few transmission lines can cause a failure to launch smoothly. To this end, in addition to placing the cannon in the core of the Siegfried Line and guarding it with layers of defense, the floating fleet and MA were also carefully deployed.
"In order to avoid the impact of being fired**, the fleet will temporarily disarm the anti-aircraft formation, and at that moment, the battery is almost defenseless. This momentary flaw will be her best opportunity to cut in. β
β and at the same time, her most defenseless and vulnerable moment.
"Don't be soft, Parsifal. To sympathize with the enemy on the battlefield is to be cruel to oneself. This has been taught in military schools, and you and I have long been aware of this. β
"I know. Thank you, Tristan. β
The communication interface disappeared, and the young soldier's gaze lowered, and in front of him, there was a military hat on the table.
"Don't be soft......"
Tristan's senses are very acute, perhaps not to the level of Roland or Caspar, but he has a keen eye for the subtle changes in the hearts of others, and no small ripple can escape his eyes.
For a moment, I did hesitate.
Not only did he calculate the gains and losses, but he also hesitated because he destroyed the holy girl with his own hands.
It was as dazzling as a flash in the night, and even as an enemy, he couldn't help but be attracted by the brave figure, and then hesitated that he might destroy the brightest genius of this era.
β like breaking down a beautiful work of art that takes your breath away.
Even so, some things had to be done.
In the center of the large-brimmed hat, the metal insignia gleas, and an eagle surrounded by oak leaves spreads its wings, its sharp claws gripping its sword and shield, respectively.
The soldier is the sword and shield of the motherland.
The sword does not think, and the shield does not sympathize.
What needs to be carried out is an order, and what needs to be understood is an obligation.
For that noble obligationβ
"Motherland. β
The boy picked up his military cap, put it on his head upright, and opened his slightly closed eyes again.
"Please rest assured. β
Sharp light bloomed from his eyes, eyes as bright as birds of prey stared into the void, and gentle voices spread through the captain's chamber with a tangible texture.
"The guards of the Rhine will be firm and sincere in their watch. β8)
