MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 464 Mean and response

Chapter 464

"...how did the Hicks land in the fishing port town..." General Albert was violent.

Crowder's face is pale: "Guys, we went to the Hicks. Their attack in the mountains in the eastern front is just to attract our attention. Let us gather here, so that the garrison of the territorial area The force is very empty..."

Crowder finally realized that the uneasiness in his heart came from. The attack that the Hicks launched in the mountains in the eastern front was so weird and abnormal, and even Claude always felt that something was wrong, but he carefully checked several times. The defensive arrangement of the second front line determined that the Hicks were inorganic in the mountains in the east or in the mountains along the northern coast.

What Claude did not expect was that the Hicks did not intend to entangle in this mountainous area and the garrison of the theater. Instead, the breakthrough is placed in the center of the theater, the area of ​​the Anfuston direct jurisdiction, which is the location of the entire overseas direct command zone command headquarters, especially the Lanhu City, equivalent to the administrative center of eight overseas direct jurisdictions, Wang All have the same status. Once it is captured by the Hicks, the impact and loss will be incalculable.

General Beechklin felt very confused: "Where did the Hicks landed? Isn't his seven standing regiments all in the colony of Rhodes Bay? The report of the port of Vibator is said to be a battleship, no With a few oceangoing ships..."

Crowder sighed: "Man, don't forget the Marine Corps of the two fleets."

Each naval fleet has a naval corps, which adds up to the strength of a regiment. The main function is to use for landing operations or to carry out a joint war in naval battles.

A few days ago, I received a letter from the Eagles that the Sea King Fleet and the Joint Fleet of the Hicks Kingdom entered the waters of the territorial war zone and carried out a short-term shelling of the Vibator Seaport. The garrison reported that the enemy was a warship and did not carry ocean-going seagoing vessels. So everyone thought that the two fleets were coming to harass and sneak attacks, forgetting that they themselves had the formation of the Marine Corps.

General Beechklin breathed a sigh of relief. He comforted General Albert. "Don't worry, the Hicks have only two regiments in the Marine Corps, even if they occupy the fishing port town. It's no big deal. The troops directly under the Lake City stationed by the Hucheng Army also had a regiment, and the local garrison consisting of the veterans was also there. The Hicks couldn’t ask for much cheaper..."

"You are wrong, man." Claude found a report from the Lodz Bay City spies: "Look at the whereabouts report of the royal family's reserve army..."

"Do you suspect that this light squad has already taken the boat south?" General Beechklin was very surprised. He naturally knew that Claude had found out the purpose of this information: "Where can they come from the transport ship?"

"Here..." Claude pointed to another letter of the eagle in his hand, which was also sent from the Lodz Bay City secrets. He said that it was about the transportation of food and armaments in the colonies of the West Coast countries. The offshore transport vessels from the materials are parked in the bay. Many ship owners are complaining that the Hicks settlement speed is too slow, and the materials shipped by each ship are repeatedly checked. Otherwise, they get the money and transportation fees and return to the West Coast.

"The Hicks deliberately left the offshore transport vessels of the colonies of the West Coast countries in the bay, and then selected the appropriate and ships to form a hiring fleet. After the arrival of the light squad, they boarded the ship and sailed south, just passing through our theater. Might into the eyes and ears of Rodex Bay City.

The Navy Fleet and the Joint Fleet, which entered our direct jurisdiction, did not bring ocean-going vessels, and they could not afford our vigilance, so they could only commit to the occupation of the fishing port town. Then they only need to hold on for ten days, and when the fleet that transports the light squadron arrives, they can complete the mission. And our theater command, the enemy is a light squad, or the arrival of a follow-up corps..."

Crowder’s analysis allowed General Beechklin and General Albert to change at the same time. General Eblon slammed his fist with a fist: “The fishing port town is a shallow sea area. The reefs are densely covered, and the ocean-going ships are impossible to dock. How did the Hicks land?"

"I don't know this, but I think it is almost the same as the Hansback Grand Prince leading the Blue Feather Legion in the shallow sea area near the Ibnister Plain. If the fishing port town has the Hicks' secret agent, use small The fishing boat set up a temporary bridge to the deep sea, so that the Hicks Marines on the battleship landed and the problem was solved..."

Claude's speculation is not unfounded, because the shallow sea near the fishing port town is densely covered, but it is very close to the deep sea area. As long as the reef area of ​​five or six hundred meters is deep sea. The theater headquarters paid close attention to the shallow sea areas under the direct control of the territory, and built a guard tower to prevent the Hicks from landing. But the black light but forgot the nearest fishing port town, the result was captured by the Hicks the only empty space, captured the fishing port town.

"Report, emergency communication of the theater headquarters." The lieutenant of the Ministry of Communications sent another letter to the eagle, only less than half a day from the last letter of assistance.

This was sent by General Scree, and it gave a detailed introduction to the situation in which the fishing port town was captured. It was two nights ago, and a businessman in the fishing port town with a repair and shipbuilding workshop had been identified as a latent agent of the Hicks. He used the built small fishing boat and the offshore transport ship repaired in the workshop to build a pontoon, which was connected to the Hicks Marine Corps and controlled the entire fishing port town.

The next morning, people in the fishing port town found themselves in the hands of the Hicks. There was a riot, but the brutal suppression of the Hicks Marine Corps. It was hard for the town to escape a few people. They found that the Hicks Marine Corps had begun to force people in the town to build defense facilities for them, and to dig around the town...

It takes a day's journey from the fishing port town to Lanhu City. The lucky ones have fortunately encountered a delivery carriage on the way, and then drove the carriage to Lanhu City for a report. After receiving the report, General Bologna was shocked and rushed to send a light squad squad to the fishing port town for reconnaissance. It took a day to confirm the news that the fishing port town was occupied by the Hicks.

General Scree sent this eagle to send a letter because General Bologna is mobilizing troops to recapture the fishing port town. Lanhu City was originally stationed as a veteran of the local garrison, and the army of the squadron’s corps, and there are two The strength of the regiment.

General Bologna is ready to reconcile a local garrison of Robisto’s defensive line on the Dolly Bara River and a local garrison in the port of Patras, so that there is a division’s strength enough to recover Fishing port town.

"No, you can't do this." General Beechklin was shocked. General Bologna didn't know that the Hicks had a light squad that would arrive in the landing after a while. If it is impossible to recover the fishing port town before the arrival of the enemy's light squad, then the strength of these four regiments will be in danger of being completely annihilated.

The fishing port town has a wide geographical position, and it is the light cavalry that jumps forward and sway. The four groups of people are the main force of Robisto’s direct control and Aphrodite’s direct garrison. Once destroyed, it means that Robisto and Aphrodite are the two direct leaders. Falling into the hands of the Hicks, the territorial war zone will be defeated and defeated...

"I immediately sent the eagle to the theater headquarters to inform the enemy that the light squad is about to land, to stop General Bologna from going to recover the fishing port town. Tell the theater command, our Thunder Army will immediately return from the front line, hope the theater command Can hold on for half a month, and ensure that the pontoon on the Dolly River is unimpeded..." Claude took the initiative.

Time, the most needed for the Thunder Legion's return is time. However, the Hicks’ light squadron had boarded the ship three days ago. According to the voyage of the bison merchants to transport the ale to the colony of the Rhodes Bay, it took only fifteen days from the colony of the Rhodes Bay to the fishing port town. The sea route, that is to say, after another ten days to twelve days, the Hicks Knights of the Royal Reserve can land in the fishing port town.

The Thunder Army is now in this mountainous region, from the mountainous area to the city of Monknad, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the port of Vibator. It takes at least ten days. Because the sea has been blocked by the two fleets of the Hicks, it is no longer possible to transport troops from the sea. It can only be rescued in the city of Monknad. It takes at least fifteen or six days to get to the Amphitheatre day and night. time. I don't know if Lanhu City can persist in the arrival of the Thunder Legion under the attack of the enemy Light Riders...

Claude is doing an intense calculation in front of the map: "The six local garrisons we have drawn are from the city of Monknad, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the port of Vibator. Cromwell is directly under the jurisdiction of the governor of Bering, Ghana. The governor of Ston, the ruler of Mormaly and the ruler of Atulas. Now there are 12 local garrisons formed by veterans under the jurisdiction of the theater. This is the only reliable in our war zone except for the two regiments. A force with good combat power.

The main field group and a local garrison of a meteorite regiment in the port of Vibator, Port of Patras and Port of Caubicus are immovable, Cromwell, Beringer Ghana, Amphitheater, Morma Lee, the capital of the five directly-administered heads of Atulas has a local garrison station, and a local garrison has been deployed on the Dolly River Bala defense line. The remaining three local garrisons are stationed in various coastal areas under the jurisdiction of the battalion to guard against enemy landing.

Now that the enemy has landed in the fishing port town, it has lost its meaning in the coastal areas of the direct jurisdiction. Send a letter to the theater command, suggesting to abandon the garrison of the two governing capitals of Mormaly and Atulas, and assemble the troops to the governor of Tilsim, and keep the governor of Tilsim. The minimum requirement is to keep the test. The port of Bicchus cannot fall into the hands of the Hicks.

The reserve forces in the theater are concentrated in the port of Vibator, the three direct jurisdictions of Cromwell and Beringer, and the local garrison stationed in the coastal zone also has two regiments. Wickham Castle also has a division. Although the reserve legion, although it is the rest of the reorganization, it also has a certain combat power, and it is also a military training that has lasted for half a year.

Our current situation is that the distribution of troops is somewhat top-heavy, with a Dolly River in the middle. If the Hicks captured the two direct jurisdictions of Aphrodite and Robidos, and then blocked us in this position with the Dolly Barra River, then our theater was all over, because of the wealth of our theater. And the material reserves are concentrated in the five direct jurisdictions of Henan.

Once the Hicks are successful, we will never want to regain the five direct jurisdictions south of the Dolly River. Needless to say, the Hicks have two fleets, and he can completely dismantle a light cruise fleet to strengthen the defense of the Dolly River. By that time, we couldn't even get close to the river bank, let alone the river.

Therefore, we must first strengthen the garrison of the Dolly River, and insist that we can return to the river and smoothly cross the river. In fact, we can give up Lanhu City and transfer people and materials to the mountains. I remember that we placed a defensive front on the border of the Ansfjord and Robisto's direct borders, as if they were still named after me.

Major Mason Hughes recorded the words I had just said and sent them to the theater headquarters with a letter from the eagle. It was suggested to strengthen the Dolly Bara River defense line, give up the city of Lanhu and retreat to the mountain defense line. Telling General Bologna, I suspect that in addition to this light squad, the enemy will have one or two standing corps on the south, asking him to be careful and insist on our return. ”

"Yes, general." Auxiliary Major Mason Hughes took a gift and took his shorthand notebook out.

"Do we want to send the reserve army of Wickham Castle to the south to reinforce it? The strength of a division can also give us a few days..." General Beechklin proposed.

Claude shook his head: "Let the two local garrisons responsible for the garrison in the coastal area go south to strengthen the squadron. They are all veterans and have a strong fighting power. There are two of the two directly under the jurisdiction of Cromwell and Beringer Ghana. The local garrison was also south, and the division of the reserve army was responsible for taking over the defense zones of the four local garrisons.

The Reserve Corps is an infantry. It takes more time to walk from Wickham Castle to the Dolly Barra River than to our light cavalry. In addition, we have to prevent the forces of these two directly-administered forces from being taken back by the Hicks. The division with the reserve army is here, and believes that they can block the small forces dispatched by the Hicks.

Allen, you will leave immediately. Our second division of the Thunder Army is still in charge of the port of Vibatato. When you arrive, you will bring them back to the theater command area overnight, or if Lanhu City has fallen, you will save Dolini. Wherein the reforms are waiting for business. I am here to gather the strength of the first division of the Thunder Legion and will soon start..."

"Okay." General Eblon made a military ceremony and turned and strode out.

Crowder looked to General Beechklin: "You are here to take away a local garrison. I am going to strengthen the defensive work of the Blackrock Guns. In case my fears come true, the Hicks really occupied Dolly. The five direct jurisdictions on the southern side of the Nibala River, the Blackstone Gunsmithing Workshop is our only military supplement base."

General Beechklin nodded. "It's okay. After you leave, governments here have five local garrisons. One of the divisions of the Stone Corps adds a direct unit of the regiment. It can be called the strength of a legion. Complete lenses. You can handle the attack that the Hicks have launched in the mountains. You can rest assured that you should go to the Hicks who attacked our theater headquarters. I am here waiting for your triumphant return."

After two days, Claude gathered the troops of the Thunder Corps scattered in the frontier mountains and prepared to return to the theater command center. What made Claude reluctantly was that General Bologna received his letter from the eagle and decided not to attack the fishing port town. He then transferred the residents and materials of Lanhu Town to the mountains. He decided to lead the two regiments. Block the Hicks in Lanhu City and fight a cruel city street fight.

The reason for General Bologna is very simple. If you give up the city of Lanhu, the Hicks’ light squad can go all the way to the Dolly Bara River line directly under the control of Robidos. The Dolly Bara River defense line is not right for the river, and General Bologna needs to set the time for the defensive front to be stationed by the troops stationed on the Dolly Bara River defense line...

Only Claude received the information from the latent secret agent of Rodex Bay City at the time of departure. This time the Hicks did not cover or keep secret. There were two standing regiments during the day. The frontline came back, and did not enter the general logistics base to carry out the rest, but directly arrived at the bay, and the offshore transport vessels that were parked in the bay waited all the way south...
