Chapter 37 Strategic Maneuver Plan
Although Randall did not intervene in the command at all, it was a good thing for Amber.
But he still hopes to have a tactical staff officer who can cooperate with his command.
Unfortunately, Amber looked through the members in the communication channel and couldn't find any suitable ones.
Major Randall stopped talking. This guy simply refused Amber's request for him to assist in command on the grounds that he didn't understand your army's operations.
Isabel wasn't very good either. She was okay at being a spy and a military doctor, but marching and fighting was really not her strong point.
As for the howling motorized infantry under his command?
Amber admitted that after contacting these soldiers during this period, although these soldiers have shortcomings of one kind or another.
But at least he can still obey orders and hit wherever he is told.
It’s definitely no problem to fight against the wind.
But you have to pull one person out from among them and ask him how to command a motorized infantry platoon to attack a small town.
This man would only answer loudly with a voice full of energy:
“Fight from point A to point B, sir!”
Amber was helpless He was covering his forehead. No, he was probably covering his tactical visor.
“God give me a tactical adviser!”
Of course, this wish cannot be realized in a short period of time.
So Amber, who recognized the reality, finally accepted her fate.
As the convoy rushed to the last waypoint marked earlier, Amber's brain began to work at full speed.
Although the car was speeding in the wild without paved roads, Amber, who was sitting in the car, felt extremely bumpy.
But this did not affect his thinking.
After combining the news from Major Randall, the current situation map of the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield, and the size of the imperial fleet in memory.
Amber made a bold decision.
Capture the space elevator.
This was a decision that even Amber herself thought was nonsense.
After thinking carefully, he felt more and more that it was feasible.
In the memory of the past life, why did the federal troops on Robert 4 fight so poorly?
Why did the remaining federal soldiers who survived and turned to guerrilla warfare only last for half a year?
Federal garrison food, this is indeed an important reason.
But it is undeniable that after a tactical nuclear strike by the Imperial Orbital Assault Ship.
The Federal Army lost almost 80% of its technical weapons and heavy equipment.
The Star Dragon Empire's landing force relies on airdrops, aerospace transport aircraft, and the most important space elevator.
We received a steady stream of additional personnel and supplies.
It can also be deployed as an armored brigade combat team (ABCT).
Under such a situation where the combat power between the enemy and ourselves is extremely disparate.
Even if you let Amber, who is 'all-seeing, omniscient and omnipotent', he will not be able to bring a bunch of light infantry to fight against the armored troops.
By the way, thanks to its huge territory and industrial manufacturing capabilities.
Both the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire have equipped the most basic conventional infantry units with medium-sized exoskeletons.
Just like the standard rifles of the old days, everyone has one.
So the infantry units of this era are still called 'light infantry'.
But in fact they are not light at all
Take the Federation as an example.
A standard mobile infantry should be equipped with a 'Sabertooth Tiger 2' medium-sized exoskeleton driven by a gas turbine and a metal hydrogen battery pack.
On this basis, in addition to the protection provided by the exoskeleton, additional silicon carbide armor plates will be installed on key parts.
In terms of armament, generally speaking, an 8mm Gauss rifle will be mounted on the right arm rail.
The conventional choice for the left arm rail is a 20mm automatic shotgun or a 40mm automatic grenade launcher.
Both weapons can use a variety of ammunition to cope with different tasks.
There is also a small group of soldiers who will choose rocket-powered combat spikes.
When fully armed and fully loaded with ammunition and supplies.
The movement of these soldiers will not be restricted, and they can even run faster and jump higher with the support of the powerful power of the gas turbine.
But even the infantry are armed to the teeth.
There is still no way to confront real armored forces head-on. In front of multi-legged combat vehicles, main battle tanks and HCP, motorized infantry are as vulnerable as children.
So in Amber’s view, the Federation’s defeat on Robert IV in the previous life was still ‘justifiable’.
But back to now, the situation has changed somewhat.
The Federal Army is still the same Federal Army. It suffered heavy losses in the orbital strike. Its main combat force is light infantry.
But the Imperial Army is no longer the Imperial Army in Amber's memory.
Without the important transportation capacity of the space elevator, the empire's landing force will not be able to deploy ABCT as quickly as in previous lives.
At this moment, the main combat force of the Imperial Army on the ground of Robert IV is also the orbital paratroopers, which are mainly light infantry.
Although they were able to obtain support from air-dropped light multi-legged combat vehicles and HCP.
But compared to the previous life, the combat effectiveness has been weakened too much.
This level of weakening made Amber feel like she might as well give it a try.
At the same time, there are two reasons for choosing the space elevator as the target.
First, the current remnants of the federal army have no combat goals and are all fighting on their own.
Although everyone knows that they want to break out, they don't know in which direction to break out and by what means.
If the space elevator is targeted, it will at least allow the remaining federal soldiers to gather together and move toward the equator.
This prevents them from fighting independently and being divided, surrounded and eliminated by the imperial forces.
Due to this fleet battle in orbit, the federal garrison fleet was completely wiped out.
In addition to some of the debris falling into the atmosphere and burning up, there are tens of millions of tons of debris floating in the outer space orbit of Robert 4.
These debris not only damaged a large number of Federal Army satellites, but also greatly reduced the efficiency of the Empire's deployment of tactical reconnaissance satellites.
In the later stages of the ground battle, the few tactical reconnaissance satellites actually did not detect the movements of the remnants of the federal army.
Instead, they were discovered first by the ground troops who were constantly pursuing them.
The debris surrounding the orbit not only interferes with satellite reconnaissance and communications, but also affects the attack efficiency of the orbital attack ship.
These orbital attack ships, after receiving requests for fire support from ground forces, must also carefully plan to enter and withdraw from orbit.
Second, regardless of the actions of the imperial forces in memory , or a series of actions by the imperial troops in this life.
All prove that the Imperial forces do not want to destroy the space elevator.
They would rather keep the space elevator intact and then control it.
After all, this 'heaven and earth artery' has an amazing carrying capacity and can play a huge role in the post-war reconstruction process.
And for facilities of this level, although the empire also masters a full set of construction technologies.
However, the construction cycle of 5-10 years is still very high.
This also makes their bottom line is 'if you can occupy it, don't destroy it'.
So when Federation forces gather near the space elevator, the Empire's orbital attack fleet will take action.
Whether it is the 'Tungus' tactical hydrogen bomb or the 'David' tactical ground-attack missile, it is easy to damage the space elevator.
And this giant ‘building’ relies on centrifugal force to tighten thousands of carbon nanotubes.
Once damaged, the entire force balance will be disrupted.
The consequences would be serious.
As more and more details were completed in Amber's mind.
An extremely large-scale strategic maneuver plan was recorded in the command module of the personal terminal by Amber.
After the physical connection between the personal terminal and the vehicle-mounted terminal, Amber can use the computing power of the vehicle-mounted equipment to enhance the functions of the command module.
"I can do this alone"
Clicking to save, Amber let out a breath. This round of brainstorming made him feel a little bit mentally exhausted.
"It seems that you have made a very huge battle plan?"
While Amber was working hard, Major Randall, who had not disturbed her, saw that Amber finally rested. Come over.
Although he couldn't understand the details of the army's operations, he could still see things at the macro level.
"Running from here to near the equator. I have to say that this is really a bold idea."
Randall did not make a direct evaluation, but continued to ask:
