Chapter 368 The Gambler
“Hogg, why didn’t you directly attack the headquarters of the federal ground forces? I remember that we have obtained the coordinates of the approximate location.”
Hermes In Gnaku, Amber was preparing for an attack. After hearing the targets and effects of the two light cruisers' ground strikes, he immediately approached Hogg, who was responsible for the ground combat command, and Fleet Commander Cliffs.
"Cliffs, the original battle plan is to directly attack the general area where the federal ground forces headquarters is located. You don't know, right?"
Faced with Amber's question, the two men All the commanders shivered slightly, and then Hogg answered:
"Boss, it was my decision to change the attack target. I did it to maximize the attack effect."
The wolf-headed man looked at the expressionless Amber on the other side of the screen, swallowed his saliva and continued:
“The Federal Army Headquarters is relatively far away and independent. If it is attacked, the light cruiser responsible for the attack cannot adjust the target of the secondary attack. In addition, we did not obtain the headquarters until the war started. Due to the situation of the nearby security forces, we could only attack the general headquarters, which would cause excess firepower.
So I finally decided to let two light cruisers attack enemy firepower with similar coordinates. Battalions and offensive troops can also fully exert the lethal effect of this round of orbital strikes, and can also relieve the pressure on the No. 5 refugee camp.
As for the enemy's general headquarters, the training team and advance preparations will be organized. "Beheading" the 5th Medium Combined Battalion that maneuvered for Zero was also the plan proposed by Lieutenant Baninger."
When she heard the last sentence, Amber's expression changed, and finally turned into a long sigh.
"A battalion of troops went to 'behead'. Are you and Baninger idiots or gamblers?"
"Boss, I admit that I am a gambler, but our side is currently On paper, they are at an absolute disadvantage. If they want to win this battle, they can only make dangerous moves.
As for the issue of troop strength, only the medium-sized combined battalion can 'stealthly' penetrate into the federal army's control area. , coupled with the firepower of the heavy powered armor of the teaching team, we confirmed that it is sufficient during the pre-war deduction."
Hogg admitted without any hesitation that he had the idea of 'taking a gamble'. At the same time, he roughly described the reasons for doing so, allowing Amber to hold back some of the words she originally wanted to say.
After delegating power to Hogg, Cliffs and others to take charge of tactical command, and taking the opportunity to cultivate the "subjective initiative" of Atlas' command, Amber had actually expected such a day.
The commanders under him are not his 'puppets', and they cannot ask him for instructions all day long to fight, so it is normal for them to have their own battle and tactical plans.
Thinking of this, Amber glanced at Cliffs again, but didn't say anything, because he knew that the fleet commander actually didn't have much to do in this matter.
In the end, Amber's eyes returned to the wolf-headed man on the screen.
"Hey, you just took the gamble, why did Baninger also follow suit? If something goes wrong with this plan, he will lose his own life."
An unpleasant premonition arose in Amber's heart, and since he traveled to this world, his premonitions have always been more 'clever'.
From another perspective, Amber also knew The commander-in-chief of the federal ground forces is definitely not a fool. To be able to become an army lieutenant general and command this planetary landing battle, he still has something real in him.
For such a person, Amber does not believe that he has no plan for the attack on the headquarters.
Thinking of this, Amber's anxiety rose again.
"Forget it, I won't say much more during the war. I may have to lead the HCP troops to attack later. You two can take good control of the subsequent battle."
Speaking of this, Amber also looked at Hogg specifically.
“Especially you, the commander-in-chief of the Hog Federal Ground Forces, 99% have arranged the back-up, the teaching team and the 5th Medium Combined Brigade may have stepped into the trap, find a way to provide them with Maximum fire support, let them withdraw quickly if they are in danger!"
"Yes! Boss!"
——
Para Ground Forces 4 Five kilometers west of the general headquarters, the ambush area of the Atlas 5th Medium Combined Battalion.
"Captain, is that itchy spot on the back of your neck?"
The voice of a certain team member rang out on the communication channel of the teaching team.
"I'm fine, what's your problem?"
Baninger responded in the channel, while staring intently at the 'situational awareness information integration' in the lower left corner of the HUD window'.
The window is constantly refreshing with a large amount of information synthesized from comprehensive sensor data. This sensor information comes from the power armor of the teaching team, various vehicles of the synthetic battalion, and bionic drones flying at low altitude
It was like an invisible net covering the entire area. "Eh? It's strange. After the operation, I always feel itchy on the back of my neck."
"Maybe it's because of the wound healing? And I remember the people from the medical department said, After the processing terminal is implanted, there will indeed be some abnormalities due to body rejection, but it is normal."
Before Baninger could speak, another team member answered the question in the channel.
The 'surgery' they are talking about is a recent 'body modification' project that all members of the teaching team have undergone, but it only involves the implantation of a micro-processing terminal similar to Amber's in the back of the neck.
The purpose of implanting this thing is also very simple, which is to extract the most detailed combat data of everyone in the teaching team.
Firstly, it is to use the gradually lifted combat records of the training team as a ‘teaching material’, and secondly, it is also to provide valuable reference data for future ‘virtual reality training’.
When they heard about this project, everyone in the team joked that in the future they might all become the ‘final boss’ that the recruits would have to fight in their graduation assessment.
“It’s tickling me so much, I really want to scratch it.”
“After this battle is over, you can go to the equipment research and development center to make suggestions and let them put it in the power armor. Built-in automatic tickling"
There was a burst of laughter in the communication channel, but it was interrupted by an alarm message that suddenly sounded not long after.
Banninger looked at the 'Situational Awareness Information Integration Window', which showed a huge convoy approaching the ambush area.
"The plan to lure the snake out of the hole was successful, and the other party indeed chose this route. Then the next step is to find a way to kill the snake."
This Atlas veteran's heart flashed After passing this thought, his attention was immediately attracted by four slender 'beams' flashing across the horizon, followed by explosions, fires and belated loud noises.
“The orbital strike on the fleet side has also begun, so the pressure on Refugee Camp No. 5 will be much less.”
Thinking of this, Baninger turned his attention back to the federal headquarters convoy that was about to enter the ambush area. At the same time, a signal from the Fifth Medium Combined Battalion that "everything is ready" was sent.
"Everyone! Get ready to fight! Fire freely after I open fire, and be sure to destroy more enemy units in the first round of attacks!"
While saying this, Ba Ninge also switched the power armor from 'ambush' to 'combat' mode while maintaining optical stealth.
The entire teaching team and the ambushing troops in other directions also entered a state of complete silence.
Soon, the first few armored vehicles and multi-legged tanks passed by the road where everyone was ambushing, and there were also two federal HCPs in the air that flew over after a 'big jump', almost clinging to the treetops.
Baninger did not fire because this was not his target, and these forward units would naturally be dealt with by the troops deployed by the medium combined battalion.
Not long after the federal troops passed by, a mighty convoy appeared on the road. The command cabin vehicle in the middle of the convoy, which was protected by layers of layers, told Banninger that he had to wait for a long time. The target appeared.
When a wheeled armored vehicle at the front of the convoy, equipped with wide-area electronic jamming equipment, entered the nearest bend in front of Baninger, he picked up a handful from the haystack on the ground. Without any signal characteristics, it is a very traditional 'hand-held recoilless rifle'.
5 rounds of magazine supply, 10 rounds of ammunition ready, suitable for power armor handheld rapid fire, extremely low cost, throw away after shooting
The HUD of the tactical visor quickly switched to the appropriate mode. Equipped with a recoilless rifle, a straight preview line also appeared in front of Banninger's eyes.
As the preview line gradually turned green in the 'best shooting position', the veteran pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Boom!"
The fatal warhead hit the speeding armored vehicle a moment later, and its fragile side armor could not withstand the invasion of 82mm armor-breaking projectiles.
The fire caused by the explosion was like a signal. The next moment, this originally quiet ambush point came to life completely.
