Chapter 1237 1239 All the way"Damn it! Not even artillery support..." Riding in the bumpy car On, Harold held his weapon and sighed with some depressing emotion.
As interstellar paratroopers, they actually have very little artillery support, but in this operation, they are acting together with the large army, and there is no artillery support, which is obviously a bit depressing.
The occupant of another commando sitting in the car said with a smile: "No way! In this state, if you want to use the artillery, you still need to wait for a while. Although the capacity is huge, it is still Not enough.”
There are no roads in this world, and poor road conditions make it difficult for cars to travel.
Possibly, this is one of the methods this world uses to stop the Alanhill Imperial forces from attacking.
Another commando with his weapon explained: "Or, the price/performance ratio is too low. We occupy a planet, and if we transport too many weapons, 80% of these weapons will end up stranded in the The planet is on."
This is a cost decision, and when weapons are needed, they must be transported to the place where the war broke out.
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, so those cheap and heavy weapons and equipment can only be left in place, or even completely wasted.
Therefore, the Alanhill Empire was very selective in sending troops to the front line - many familiar weapons were actually not transported to the front line at all.
For example, large-caliber artillery pieces are basically not shipped to Planet Hope 2. This easy-to-use repressive weapon was easily abandoned by the senior military because of its large size and high ammunition demand.
If strategic suppression is needed, the space destroyers staying in high orbits can use electromagnetic main guns for shelling. If tactical suppression is needed, let the Air Force make do with suppressing it.
Even the Air Force has no plans for mass transport of aircraft to Planet Hope 2. Everyone thought it was enough to have Dragon Knight.
Because of this, the Alanhill Empire's troops deployed on Planet Hope 2 are actually very "shabby" in scale.
The real main force is actually only a heavy armored grenadier regiment commanded by Burrisson, and a small interstellar paratrooper special Combat Unit led by Harold.
The remaining three divisions of light infantry are Battle Puppet droids. The battle strength of these troops is actually really low, only because the weapons suppress the opponent, so they can be used as real troops.
Of course, supporting this unit is a battalion of logistical supply electric trucks, a reinforced Type 99 tank company, and another unit of UH-60 helicopters.
In terms of the Air Force, in addition to 2 A-10 attack aircraft, the rest is only the Dragon Knight unit. And the size of Dragon Knight's troops is actually not large, only 60.
No way, as an air unit, Dragon Knight has too many advantages. Not only does it not require the support of ground staff, but it is also very convenient to find food supplies locally.
In addition, these Dragon Knights can continue to fight when they run out of ammo and maintain a very high attendance rate without needing a lot of supplies.
In contrast, Dragon Knight units are simply perfect as the first wave of troops to enter the battlefield.
See how, the two A-10 attack planes that arrived early have not been able to go into action yet, and they still need some maintenance before they can take off.
Relying on this force to destroy the entire planet is obviously unlikely. To be able to defeat the other party, let the other party realize the gap in strength between the two sides, and surrender obediently and honestly, is actually the right choice.
Because of this, when Burrison issued the combat order, he asked the troops to focus on driving and defeating them, rather than engaging in annihilation.
He asked the attacking troops not to kill and injure the enemy's active forces in large numbers, just hoping that in the later negotiation, the enemy's hatred could be reduced and the negotiation easier.
The goal of his attack is to make peace. As for how many enemy troops to eliminate, this is not in the scope of Burrison's consideration at all.
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 bombard the opponent's most prosperous areas, he can instantly wipe out a large number of the opponent's living forces.
Grandiose's puppet robots carry their own weapons and march on both sides of the road, which is not very spacious, full of potholes, one after another electric truck.
These trucks carry a variety of supplies, including magic spar batteries for the puppet troops, ammunition they may consume, food and fresh water for the heavy armored grenadier troops, and A wide variety of equipment.
According to the plan, after defeating the opponent's defense forces, they will establish a new defense node in the place called Soth City.
Then, they have to spread out their troops, control the nearby area, and then find a way to communicate with the rock empire, so that the other party also surrender obediently and honestly, and surrender all their power.
As the ground troops advanced, overhead, the Dragon Knight troops burst out. At this time, they carried 250kg aviation bombs on the hind legs of their lesser dragons.
The choice of bombing and mounting is to create chaos as much as possible, and let the rock empire defenders stationed in the city of Soth give up their ineffective fortifications.
"It's really backward! This kind of air support was almost eliminated five years ago." Harold saw the Dragon Knight troops drifting away through his car window, and his tone was very of emotion.
The other commando sitting next to him laughed and said, "Yeah, didn't expect, they're back."
"Stop complaining! Look! Over there!" The commando sitting by the window on the other side pointed out the window and said, "They might as well send two more Dragon Knights to bring this thing over here!"
Off-Road Performance The extremely powerful electric car drove off the roadbed, and saw a Type 99 main battle tank, cumbersome and slow on the road.
"Ha!" When Harold saw the Type 99 main battle tank, the expression on his face was also wonderful: "Why not replace it with an M109 howitzer?"
" Is it your first day as a soldier? There is a shortage of heavy equipment everywhere now, so what can be found and used, isn't it already a routine?" A commando with a beard rubbed the bridge of his nose and complained.
