Chapter 12 New troubles, new opportunities

The Ulster armed resistance fight "scored twice". From the process and influence, it can be regarded as a model of resistance in the enemy-occupied areas, but it is not perfect, especially the "returning gun" that was launched when the enemy was fully on guard. The battle was fierce and thrilling. The resisters exhausted their technical equipment and still lost dozens of people during the raid and retreat. The rest were able to evacuate under the cover of the peripheral companions. The surviving people of Slien have endured humiliation and perished under the resentment of the Normans since then...

After withdrawing from Srien, Weiss and Wade Stein did not continue to fight in joint operations, but left and moved forward. The reason why the two determined guerrilla commanders "divorceeded" was not that they had irreconcilable differences, but that they were subject to the three-dimensional combat methods of the Norman army and had to fully explore the regional width and geographical depth of the Lorraine Mountains. Weiss brought the "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors" who grew up quickly in the battle to return to the old land of Somsonas, while Wade Stein led the heroic "Knights of Srien" to the southern coastal areas of the Federal State of Lorraine.

Srien's resistance then went into hibernation. Two weeks later, under the escort of three Norman patrol ships, a medium-sized transport ship fleet flew to the war-ridden mountain city. Transport ships landed one after another, and teams of soldiers lined up to leave the ship and walked to various barracks. They looked dusty, and the officers and soldiers all looked tired, and there were traces of smoke from gunpowder on their bodies, and they even looked a little embarrassed, but their reputation on the battlefield made friendly forces awe-inspiring and made their opponents frightened.

This unit is the 1st Marine Division of the Royal Norman Empire!

The division commander Earl Fisher, nicknamed "Bloodthirs", was given to him by his colleagues behind him nicknamed "Madman". He highly praised the offensive and defensive tactics of opening up and closing. Since the outbreak of the war, the casualties rate of the 1st Marine Division has always been "out of the world" in all battles, and has replenished the reserve forces on a large scale three times. However, whether in the Kingdom of Wessex or the Free Federation of Ulster, this sharp knife has always been invincible and has been the Norman army many times.

It was the most important ace in the division-level troops, whether it was the number of enemies killed or the contribution of the battle. However, in the just-concluded Battle of Franson, the "madman" and his troops suffered a heavy loss. They were ordered to raid the city of Marburu, a key stronghold behind the Federal Front. However, on the way to the airborne area, the Norman fleet was attacked by the Federal Flight Forces, full loads of soldiers

The soldiers' transport ships have become the key target of the Federal Army's fighter jets. Four of the 24 transport ships were destroyed, and seven were injured and forced landing. The participating troops had lost nearly half of their troops before they even boarded the battlefield. What's worse, various aviation bases near the front line were attacked by the Federal Army's air and ground forces, resulting in poor subsequent reinforcements and supply delivery. The troops of the 1st Marine Division, which were put into combat in advance, had to fight alone. Although they

However, he captured Mablu City, but was immediately surrounded by the federal army and fell into a tough battle. If any Norman troops of the same force were replaced, this battle would probably not escape the fate of destruction. However, the participating troops of the 1st Marine Division fought a bloody road in front of the federal army with the advantage of numbers and situations. Although they were in vain in one battle, they were still energetic and their backbones remained. In less than a month or two, it would "resurrect full blood" again...

The arrival of the 1st Marine Division of the Norman Empire made the resistance forces active in the Lorraine Mountains quiet suddenly. The Normans placed the strongest ace troops in Slien, who was the most powerful in the resistance, for rest and reorganization, without much to say. Whether it was "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors", "Slien Knights", or any resistance armed force in the Federal State of Lorraine, they did not have the ability to provoke a regular enemy army of such a large scale, and the veterans of this unit were basically ruthless characters who walked through the sea of ​​swords and fires. However, among all the resisters, at least one was

I personally "don't catch a cold" with this Norman ace force. In the Northern Border Campaign, Weiss's Baston student group resisted the 1st Marine Division's attack, causing it to suffer the first heavy blow in this war. After that, the 1st Marine Division rested for more than a month before joining the war again. Unfortunately, the young Baston elites did not have the ability to turn the tide. Looking at the Northern Border Campaign, the Ulster-Wessex coalition was almost defeated. Although the 1st Marine Division suffered more than 10,000 casualties, it defeated the main force of the coalition forces on the border line, killing and injuring more than three or five times.

For Weiss, defeating this Norman ace unit again was undoubtedly a very tempting "small target". He did not act rashly, but used information exchanges along the route and between resistance organizations to secretly peek at the enemy's every move. In Slien, there were more than a dozen Norman troops coming and going. Judging from the uniforms worn by the Norman soldiers, most of the veterans and new recruits of the 1st Marine Division had arrived. Although the little Slien could barely hold 20,000 horses.

, but the narrow space is obviously not conducive to the troops' high-intensity training. Soon, these Norman army soldiers began to mobilize the size of the battalions. In addition to going to various blockades, they also opened new stations in some villages and towns. From the map, the Normans lay more complete and closer blockades in the western, central and northern Lorraine Mountains. If the resistance armed forces acted, the Norman army in various adjacent areas could quickly rush to the site of the incident. Under such circumstances, it is still difficult to protect themselves, so how can we attack?

Day after day, Weiss waited silently and prepared. On the first day of his return from Slien, he selected personnel and sent them to the Federal Army to contact the Federal Army to seek assistance. Considering that the land route had been completely cut off by the Norman army, although the sea route was passable, it took a long time and had a large risk factor, which was not conducive to military information. For this reason, Weiss and his companions "made steel in the country" and handed a simple communication password to let the correspondent take it to the eastern part of the Federation. On the 19th day after learning that the 1st Marine Division of the Norman Empire arrived in Slien, the radio station was finally under the agreed signal at the agreed frequency - the federal army recognized the "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors" and other resistance organizations to restrain themselves behind enemy lines.

The role of the federal military also made "official certification" of all the troops who insisted on resistance in the Lorraine Mountains. The "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors" who were active in Somsonas got the number of the First Guerrilla Formation of the Federal State of Lorraine. Weiss, who was originally dismissed as a reserve captain, also turned into a "guerrilla colonel". Although the rank of the guerrilla army was unprecedented in the Federal Army, and the military did not clarify whether this special rank had a reciprocal transformation relationship with the regular rank, with the official title, whether it was coordinated with various resistance organizations or mobilized the people in the occupied areas, they became famous.

The spiritual support of the federal army is of course not enough to allow the weak Lorraine Resistance organization to compete with the elite ace troops of the Norman Empire. You should know that the sharp knife in the hands of the Normans has neither divisional artillery nor baggage units, but is composed of three land brigades with strong combat power. Each brigade has 3 land regiments under its jurisdiction, with 3 combat assault battalions and 1 fire support battalion. The artillery equipment and personnel are allocated to each fire.

The support battalion takes into account the concentration of firepower and combat flexibility, and its combat ability cannot be underestimated. The large-scale replenishment and training of the troops, and the tacit understanding of the officers and soldiers, seems to be a weakness that can be exploited, but in the 1st Land Warfare Division, the veterans who are like wolves and tigers are just using the Ulster resistance armed forces to demonstrate to the new recruits. Therefore, Weiss continued to adhere to the strategy of watching more and not touching more and not touching them, and patiently searching for the real flaws of the enemy.

After contacting the Federal Army, at first, Weiss' radio station basically only received signals. In addition to confirming that the message had been received, it never exposed the wireless power supply. Soon, the Federal Army sent a message that the Norman army made a comeback and dispatched troops on the front line of Franson-Brubuck to launch a new offensive. In the previous battle, the Federal Army struggled to repel the Norman attack. Although it severely damaged the 1st Marine Division of the Norman Empire, its own troops and equipment were also very damaged.

Once the defense line is lost, the goalkeeper to the capital Liberty City will open to the Normans. Until now, Liberty City has become the last spiritual pillar of the coalition camp that the Federation and even joined forces to fight against the Norman invasion. If there is any mistake, the surrendered factions within the coalition camp may replace the main war faction to gain leadership. Therefore, the federal military requires the enemy-behind resistance armed forces to do everything possible to restrain the Norman army in the occupied areas, especially the sharp sword of the front line that repeatedly destroyed cities and captured villages, the 1st Marine Division of the Norman Empire.

On the front battlefield, if we want to deal with this Norman ace force, it is not safe to send two or three infantry divisions to the federal army. Moreover, all Lorraine's resistance armed forces combined are not enough to have half the division's strength, and the weapons and equipment are even less worth mentioning. Weiss received the news without making a statement, and the federal army shot and sent telegrams one after another, and both sides were performing a strange pantomime. At this moment, Wessex, who was loyal to the royal family, was like a strange pantomime.

The army launched an offensive in the north, regaining several town strongholds occupied by the Norman army, forcing the Normans to draw some flight ships and land forces from Ulster to rush to the Northern Line. The pressure of the federal army was slightly reduced, and they barely freed up their energy to meet the support requests made by the resistance armed forces behind the enemy. The liaison officer sent by Weiss, in addition to bringing their simple communication passwords, also verbally conveyed the three-dimensional guerrilla plan envisioned by Weiss.

On the 47th day after the 1st Marine Division of the Norman Empire arrived in Lorraine, on the 42nd day after the Federal Army learned the news, the Federal Army sent a code with the content of "3543". Weiss ordered the radio operator to send a "232" response - less than an hour after the radio wave was sent, the Normans' flying ships rushed to the secret camp where the radio signal was sent. Fortunately, the resisters were prepared and quickly transferred and disappeared through the pre-digged tunnel.
