Chapter 398 399 Alternative gameplay"I really want to know how Your Majesty made such a bold decision." Looking at the map in front of him, Walter, who was already the commander-in-chief of the 1st Army Group at a young age, touched his chin and asked with doubts on his face.
Actually, when they invaded the Holy Demon Emperor, Alanhill's main force had already discovered that the enemy's road conditions were very bad.
In order to make up for the bad road conditions, Alanhill is frantically laying railways and building roads. On the one hand, it is also equipping the front-line troops with more vehicles to make up for the lack of transportation capacity.
However, there is always a shortage of transport vehicles. One truck of fuel to the front line will use up another truck of fuel.
For the consumption of supporting a huge army group, it is obviously very uneconomical to use cars and planes to transport.
Walter still clearly remembers that in order to reduce the cost of the attack, the Emperor Your Majesty endured the Dothan Empire for more than half a year before launching a southward campaign, capturing the entire Dothan region in one fell swoop, and achieving the rise of Alanhill. mythical.
But now, in the Holy Demon Emperor country, Walter deeply felt the unfriendly local environment.
The road conditions in the Holy Demon Emperor country are actually very bad, most of the roads are paved with dirt, not even highways.
The 1st Army Group's attack under such road conditions was itself severely restricted.
"Originally, we applied for 400 transport vehicles, but at this time, for some reason, none of them were granted to us." The chief of staff, looking at the slightly messy desktop, said Complained: "Our transport convoy is already overwhelmed. In this case, there is no difference between continuing to attack and committing suicide."
"The troops will be short of fuel, and the Air Force will also lack transport vehicles. Migrating our own field airfields... We are now at the limit of our advancement." He pointed to the critical point on the map and said to General Walter: "Go forward about 50 kilometers and we will collapse on our own."
"If we attack the Gushan line as it stands now, it's bringing about one's own destruction. But I don't think Your Majesty, who has always attached importance to logistical supplies, would make such a mistake." Walter Staring at the map, still thinking.
After the siege of Longshek, the 1st and 3rd Army Groups did not even rush to attack, they just stood by, modifying their communication system on the one hand, and waiting on the other hand. their supplies.
The General Headquarters promised to provide them with sufficient supplies, which was a prerequisite for the Empire to order the 1st and 3rd Army Groups, and even other subsequent army groups to attack.
This attack order came from more than ten days ago, when Alanhill was suddenly arrogant and ready to launch a large-scale counterattack in three directions.
You must know that this is not an ordinary counterattack, but a large-scale counterattack across the board. In order to prepare for such a battle, all fronts are frantically rushing to transport their own supplies.
But even so, the materials needed to get to the front line are still pitiful, and even the trucks that transport these materials are still scarce.
Except for the southern front, where the Imperial General Staff came forward, managed to scrape together 4,000 new cars, formed some new motor transport regiments, and supported the attacks of Modler and Coria , the remaining western and southwestern fronts have not been supplemented by a new car.
In other words, even if these troops have enough supplies, they don't have enough capacity to transport these supplies to the front lines to support their troops in combat.
"I hope this time, the Emperor Your Majesty can solve our problems..." The chief of staff of the 1st Army Group both hands crossed near chest and said in a heavy tone.
"It's not hope, the Emperor Your Majesty will definitely solve our problem!" General Walter said firmly.
...
West of the enchanted city of Ludnar, which survived the surrender, on the brand new railway bridge over the St. Runos River, the crowded 20th The infantrymen of the army group are carrying their own weapons and slowly passing through the 30-meter-wide bridge.
These soldiers, who have served for more than a year, have participated in very few battles. Because they have been following the 1st and 2nd armies, taking over the occupation of the city, maintaining local law and order, there are not many storming tasks.
Moreover, the equipment of these troops is not very elite, and they are generally only equipped with Mauser 98K rifles and M4 tanks and other weapons.
It can be said that these troops are actually World War II-level troops, and the tasks they perform are not too important.
After all, no matter how strong Alanhill is, it is impossible to fully arm a modern army of 10 million in a short period of time.
So, as it should be by rights, Alanhill, who mobilized 10 million Combat Units, is really only about 2 to 3 million people. The rest, mostly like the 20th Army, fill up the reserves for low-threat missions.
"What is that?" Suddenly finding that the sunlight above his head was blocked by something, a soldier squinted his eyes and looked up, and saw a huge monster flying above his head.
This huge monster is almost 200 meters long and 100 meters wide. The huge body is like a battleship, covering the heavens, shielding the sun in the true sense, bringing strong oppression to all who see it.
"My God..." A captain, not caring about restraining his troops, looked up at the unprecedented, unheard-of huge flying object, subconsciously shivering. .
These are equipped with M42 steel helmets, most of which are similar to the soldiers of the German army in World War II. All of them stopped, looked at the things flying over their heads, and made tsk tsk exclamations from time to time.
They don't know what this huge thing is, but they can still feel an unprecedented sense of pride.
"Long live Alanhill!" Someone shouted first, and then tens of thousands of troops screamed frantically against the sky. Everyone was shouting hysterically, and at this moment they were sincerely proud of their motherland.
Following this huge monster flying in the sky, there is another huge monster, it looks the same size, even the shape is exactly the same!
Between the two huge monsters, there are also two helicopters hovering. The helicopters are relatively outdated UH-1s, and they hover between two massive, hill-like aircraft.
Farther away, another equally huge aircraft was lined up with the two of its kind in front, and the imposing manner seemed even more magnificent.
"If we can't win...then let's just die." The commander of the 20th Army raised his head and watched the fifth huge mountain fly over his headquarters. , seriously sighed to the chief of staff beside him.
"Yeah... When did we become so strong..." Even though he saw it with his own eyes, the chief of staff still had a strong sense of unreality. He also raised his head and agreed with his commander's words.
......
In Serris City, Chris looked at Vivian proudly, and Dez and the others, who were dumbfounded, said with a smile: "You think I'm doing this Super battleship, is it really just battleship?"
He both hands crossed near chest, raised his chin, and said sarcastically: "People in the magic world, they see things too one-sidedly. Let a person A castle flying up, a city flying up... It's just to fight the enemy as a battleship? Don't they think it's too wasteful?"
Speaking of this, Chris shouted the head again: "Actually not Blame them, after all, they don't rely on logistics as much as Alanhill, nor do they have as many advanced weapons and equipment as Alanhill. So after they have the Floating Void City Fort, the first thing they think of is to use it as a battleship to go to the front line to show off one's military strength."
Chris pulled out a hand and pointed to himself with a finger: "We don't need to do this! So we can play more comfortably."
"So, you just put Those steel plates used for shipbuilding that were abandoned in the port of Ferry City were all used, welded together, made a large steel plate, and then carved a floating array to make them float... Transporting massive amounts of materials?" Vivian eyebrows raised and asked.
She felt that what Chris was thinking was really too terrifying. He could always think of aspects that others couldn't think of and solve problems that others couldn't.
Since the floating array can make a castle of hundreds of tons or even millions of tons fly, it can also make the same weight of materials fly.
This thing is much easier to use than airships. As long as the magic energy is sufficient, it can run almost infinitely.
Because you don't need to fight, you don't need too high intensity. It is enough to barely maintain the shelf, so the technical difficulty is also very low. All you need to do is assemble some power units to make them fly forward faster and turn, and you're all set.
The terrifying thing is that such a cheap super transport plane can transport as much material as a castle to the front line at a time - enough for an army to squander for a long time.
Moreover, it can transport supplies from Serris directly to the front line, without the need for transfer stations and without significant energy consumption.
"The only downside is that this thing is not strong... As long as the enemy attacks, it will crash with supplies worth billions of gold coins." Chris nods and said to Vivian.
"This is simply not a disadvantage, right?" Vivian squinted Chris with contempt, because her T800 god puppet was now on these transport floating giant ships.
And above Vivian's god puppet are dozens of Air Force fighter jets responsible for protecting these transport giants.
Who can attack these giant transport ships under the escort of a dozen super god puppets and dozens of fighter jets?
