Just as his opponents had predicted, Colonel Lazarene made up his mind to turn Libramon into a battlefield, using a chaotic street battle to hinder his opponent's rapidly maneuvering forces.

It would have been an impossible task. Today's battlefield is already an era of three-dimensional warfare, and without air supremacy, let alone attacking, it is the care of the mother god to be able to save a small life under the continuous air raids. Combat power from the air—the MDS with high-speed swarm assaults, the heavy firepower attack aircraft group, and the capital ship that stays in the air for long periods of time—can completely ravage the enemy forces lying on the ground like pests. It is more appropriate to say not so much a war of annihilation as a sweeping war of unilateral slaughter.

The cavalry, which was desperately short of even salvo guns, wanted to survive under the sweep of the enemy's air power?

But nothing is absolute.

Air power has absolute superiority over moving targets on the ground, but conversely, what if they are too busy with other things to take care of the ground?

Don't be in a hurry to say, "How is it possible, there is no air force here that can compete with the Air Force of the Defense Forces." Let's take a look at the situation first.

Generally speaking, the combat targets of the air force are the enemy's air force, and after seizing air supremacy, it will switch to strategic bombing and tactical attacks on the ground. It is true that Charlemagne's air power was almost non-existent in the Ardennes region, where Army Group B was located, and the part of seizing air supremacy could be dispensed with. However, this does not mean that they can be relaxed, covering the battlefield, going forward to reconnoitre, clearing out the remnants of the enemy, transporting escorts, and ...... Basically all of them are in cameo roles in the Army Air Corps, and these missions alone contain nearly a third of the mobile force. And when the railway torpedo "Icarus" was discovered, in order to completely seize the railway facilities and eliminate the sappers who destroyed the railway bridges, the air power had to be further divided. In order to preserve their combat power for the next stage, and to avoid destroying the road, they could not use the battleship's large-caliber main guns, and in the end they had to choose to let the ground troops race against the 5th Hussar Division.

-- When planning an operation based on the premise of a dilemma of racing against time to pass quickly, the defense forces probably anticipated this situation, and they must have even conducted exercises.

- But was there any mention in that exercise that the enemy troops were stationed between Libramont and Nessato?

INTERVIEWER If you know this information, will you still be as calm and calm as you were during the exercise?

- If not, then I'm sorry, so let's take advantage of the anxiety.

Colonel Lazareth and his cavalry smiled heroically and ran to their deaths with their beloved horses.

"The enemy is only half an hour away from Libramon! The whole army is looking at us, do you want to disgrace the reputation of the Wehrmacht who are always invincible?"

"It's already the highest speed!Company commander, if you increase the speed, you will be out of touch with the Panzergrenadier Company!"

"Then keep up this speed! Everyone listens! The goddess of victory is lifting your skirts to you, don't let other men take the lead!"

"Understood!

There was a shout on the radio, but Bidenfeldt didn't smile wryly as he used to be.

On weekdays, on the contrary, Lieutenant Carl Eberhardt Josef Bidenfeldt came from a well-known family and was once a famous magician in the Old Kingdom, and also held a domain and the title "Von". Now that his title and territory are in the past, his tutor is still there, and the officers who have worked with him have praised him as "an excellent gentleman" and "armored knight". Dirty and vulgar speech is just a gesture made to get closer to his subordinates, and for junior officers and soldiers, this kind of charlatan style is more acceptable to them.

Now that the appearance has been stripped away, Lieutenant Bidianfeldt, who has calmed down, begins to carefully count the hole cards in his hand.

At this time, the troops under the command of Bidianfeldt consisted of his own three companies of 14 Tiger heavy tanks (three platoons of four vehicles, plus two command vehicles), and an Panzergrenadier Company with 15 armored personnel carriers and four off-road jeeps (barrel cars), as well as two three-wheeled motorcycles. The two sides together are almost equal to most of the heavy armored battalion or panzergrenadier battalion, not to mention seizing a village and town, and angrily scolding a cavalry division, that is, the entire 2nd Army of Charlemagne's Royal Army is blocked in front, and Bidianfeldt is also confident that a wave of pigs will release the other party's ducks.

But it was also a hypothetical encounter based on the premise of the plains, and with the current situation and terrain, it would really be a send-off for the head to play with the pig's sudden flow.

According to the Defence Force's combat doctrine, when using wheeled or tracked vehicles to support the maneuvering of troops, the speed of the first vehicle is 24 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed must not exceed 32 kilometers. The reason why the marching speed of the armored column is set so low is, on the one hand, for safe driving considerations (what kind of road killer must be for a rear-end collision at 32 kilometers per hour), and on the other hand, the comfort of combat vehicles and armored personnel carriers cannot be compared with civilian vehicles. It is important to know that the initial model of the combat vehicle does not have such tall equipment as air conditioning, and it becomes an oven in summer and a refrigerator in winter, and the long-distance off-road marching vehicle is shocked to the point that the bones of all the crew members fall apart, and in serious cases, the whole vehicle becomes a vomit bag, and the smell of generators, lubricating oil, and artillery smoke cannot be dispersed in the closed hull...... It's so sour), especially those heavy vehicles, the effects of the previous high-speed drag racing are being felt, although not to the point of lying down, but 2 vehicles have reported abnormal motor noises.

Increasing the speed may not only cause the queue to become disjointed, but also cause traffic jams if the Tiger vehicle breaks down.

"It seems impossible to take Liberalmont before the enemy forces do. ”

"If you speed up......"

"Don't get the point wrong. ”

Bidenfeldt interrupted Second Lieutenant Steinmeier Eugen, and a thunderous voice categorically dismissed the idea.

"Which side is more important, the honor of a company or the victory of the whole army? If it is a tactical victory at the cost of strategic defeat, it is much more painful to shoot oneself in the mouth than this. ”

"But the battalion commander's order is—"

"The battalion commander's motto is 'Prepare for the situation,' do you think she didn't anticipate this? Think about what the order is?' 'Be sure to take Lower Liberalmon before the enemy arrives,' listen, it's taken, not 'Occupy intact.'" In other words, encounters and fortifications were already within the expected range. ”

There was a pause, and a voice bordering on hesitation reached Lieutenant Eugen's ear.

“...... Do you think the townspeople in that town have been evacuated?"

"No way. Not to mention the intelligence blockade of our army, even if the enemy army arrives first, it will take half a day or even a whole day for ordinary people to load the necessary property and foster care into the carriage. I'm afraid that when we arrive in Libramont, the army and the people will still be in disarray. ”

"It's a mess...... Really?"

"That's right, attacking the enemy army at such a time will definitely affect the general population. ”

The radio fell silent, leaving only the sound of electric blinding and breathing, until 30 seconds later, when a thunderous roar permeated all receiving terminals.

"Attention platoons! Attention platoons! Confirm the link to tactical information on the 16th! All men are in a state of readiness! Listen, as long as any house or window in the town of Libramont dares to shoot a bullet, you will immediately attack me with all your might! Kill the enemy when you see it! Do you hear it! Kill the enemy when you see it!!"

"Yes, sir!"

A murderous response rang out, and in front of the long line of heavy feline carnivores, the top of the iconic bell tower of the town of Lybramont could already be seen.

####################

"Mr. Officer! Mr. Officer! You can't do this! This is a homestay for tourists! Oh, the Mother Goddess is on top, be careful! That's an ancestral painting!"

The mayor of the town of Lybramont, Mr. Henri Renel Fillon, stamped his feet and made a painful gesture while holding the cleaned porcelain pot.

Among Charlemagne's already rotten ranks, the mayor was neither greedy nor incompetent, and at one point used tourism resources to develop Libermont into a leisure resort town. In the fiery days before the war, the wagons of the Broadmen would often appear in Bouillon and Lybramont. Those who have the money are either relaxing in the hot springs of Bouillon, spending their money in the casinos, or camping in the wooded huts of Libramont.

Now not only are there no high-rollers who have spent a lot of money, but even the wooden houses that have been cleaned up and are ready to be reopened after the war have been left with jet-black shoe prints by the hiunds, who may have felt that this was not enough, and encouraged the townspeople to leave their homes. How can this make Mayor Fillon not feel distressed.

Is there still a heavenly reason for this? Is there still a royal law for this? Do those Qiu Babing ruffians know what they are doing? How can they raise such a gang of robbers and bandits with the taxes they pay?!

The mayor's complaint was not met with any response, the cavalry was busy building the barricades, the townspeople were hurrying to load their possessions into the wagon, and even the chief's two sons were carrying various valuables into the wagon under the command of their mother. Everyone was in a hurry, preparing for battle or evacuating before the arrival of the ghost animals. No one bothered to pay attention to the mayor's nagging.

Colonel Lazareth, the only one who could speak and listen, was looking northeast with a telescope from the highest bell tower in town, and as the billowing smoke rose from the jungle, the Colonel roared downstairs.

"Those bastards are coming! Get ready for battle! Remember! Put them in and fight! Don't waste ammo!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Yakov, how are they preparing?"

"In position! Sir!The shooting position has been arranged, and it's time to move the thing that can be used to kill the dragon!!"

"Get out of the way!!"

A group of horsemen roared all the way into a small building carrying a huge chest, and the two-story building, which had been lit up was now extremely dark, and all the windows were either nailed by wooden planks or piled with sandbags. The cavalrymen walked briskly to a window with only one shooting hole, and pulled out a giant rifle with a bipod from the box that was taller than a man.

The gun was called the "Anti-Tank Rifle", nicknamed "Eins. ", that is, "a rifle that can only be fired once".
