Chapter 21 Backyard Fire
In the early morning, the sky was filled with snow, and the whole world was white. Only the Wessex assault ship flying in the slim color suddenly entered this light-toned space with dark paint. Of course, obsessive-compulsive disorder patients could not tolerate this visual difference, and in the eyes of the resisters, its existence added an indignant sense of oppression.
Deep in the forest, on a tall truss tree, Weiss was wearing a white camouflage made by the resistance organization and silently stared at the Norman battleship that was like a black cloud. This guy not only had a domineering appearance, but his combat potential and equivalent protection were both five-digit levels. Although he still couldn't reach the top level, he was almost the same, especially the unique anti-collision structure of the assault ship, which was enough to withstand the impact of large-scale ground bombs. From the two numerical values of biological function and mental vitality
Including, there are about 1,500 crew members on the warship, two or three hundred more than the previous top battleships that traverse the battlefield. I think it is equipped with at least one company of Marines. In terms of combat missions to deal with the resisters in the occupied area, this assault ship does have a strong combat power with all-round and no blind spots. It is not fast enough? In such snowy weather, whether it is hiking, riding a horse, driving or flying, it is probably not as efficient as its movement.
There is no chance to fight, and there seems to be a glimmer of hope when it lands and rests. In the Lorraine Mountains, the Holy Column Square in the mountain city of Slien is the only place where large warships have the conditions to be parked and replenish supplies. Recently, Norman ships take off and land in Slien are indeed very frequent. Combining these two points, three attacks on Slien may be possible, but rational thinking and military insight remind Weiss that the Normans have set up a net of heaven and earth there. If they go this time, there may be no chance of escape.
This fatal strategy and layout seem to be the masterpieces of the Lorraine military governor.
Is it really you, Ze?
What kind of opponent are you?
A complete betrayer? Or, just to display his talents, he did not expect to get to this point?
Weiss longed for answers to all these questions, but was struggling to find a suitable opportunity for dialogue. It is impossible to visit the door in person. If someone is sent to contact or correspondence, if it is not handled properly, it may bring a bad reputation for colluding with the enemy, causing the Lorraine's resistance to fall apart.
There is no choice but to continue waiting until the opportunity arises.
In the sky, the Wessex assault ship controlled by the Normans sailed straight as usual, and patrolled every forest in the Lorraine Mountains without getting tired of it. After repeated sweeps in the early stage, few targets now require them to search or bombard, so that the patrol became a check-in activity. Such a peaceful situation made the days of the resisters sadder day by day...
Weiss did not plan to get down the tree before the assault ship left his sight. This seemingly ordinary mountain forest is the No. 2 secret camp of the "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors". There is a long-abandoned saltpeter mine at the north end of the forest. The secret camp of the resistance is hidden deep in the mine channel - an important production base and a secret material warehouse. The workers at the Klumber-Hesen factory used engineering methods to create several "firewalls", making this secret base safe and sound during the Norman army's search of the mine. Not only that, the workers also used the waste left by the mine to make gunpowder. Although the output is small and the quality is limited, it does not have much impact on the overall situation, but for the resistance soldiers, this "sourced water" gives them more confidence in their mentality.
In the wind and snow, four ships flew in the direction of Somsonas. After careful observation, they were two patrol ships and two transport ships. After they appeared, the assault ships flying in a straight line slowly turned and finally flew towards the direction of the saltpeter field.
Seeing this scene, Weis, who was experienced in the enemy, immediately realized that the situation was not good. He didn't have time to move his limbs, which were stiff because he was still for a long time, slid down the tree with his trunk, opened the authentic flip under the tree, and nimbled in, shouting at the correspondents waiting there: "Send an enemy attack alarm to everyone! The enemy is heading towards our camp No. 4! Notify everyone to make a response and adopt an emergency evacuation plan if necessary!"
The young correspondent soldier was named Fawa, a native of Somsonas. His father and grandfather were all hired by the Klumber Heisen family, and Fawa was no exception. After the Norman army occupied Lorraine and the Klumber Heisen factory was evacuated, he followed his colleagues to a secret camp. After a period of time, due to energy and material difficulties, the production scale was repeatedly reduced, and he voluntarily joined the front line of guerrilla battles. Weiss came here to observe the enemy's activities. In order to notify the camp as soon as possible when the enemy situation occurred, he asked Fawa to come with his homemade field telephone equipment and paved temporary lines along the way. This was really useful.
After a quick explanation, Weiss squeezed over from Fawa and ran towards the direction of the secret camp No. 2 with all his might. The underground resistance system of the "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors" had at most 11 secret strongholds and 25 separate secret material warehouses, with non-combatants reaching 4,000+, and the monthly weapon and ammunition output exceeded the maximum consumption of this resistance armed force, but with the round of sweeping by the Norman army,
More and more secret strongholds and material warehouses have been discovered and destroyed by the enemy. There are only 5 secret strongholds left in use. Among these five, only 2 were set up by the Norman army before occupying Lorraine, while the number of secret material warehouses has decreased to 13 - 12 were set up by the Normans before the arrival of the Normans, and the total amount of stock supplies has dropped by more than two-thirds. Several categories have been sold out, and the situation is really not optimistic.
The No. 4 secret camp at the north end of the mountain forest is both a garrison site and a living area. It also has the functions of a production base and a material warehouse. If there is any loss, it will be a sharp stab in the chest of this resistance armed force. The No. 2 secret camp, which is more than ten miles away, is a relatively simple military stronghold, equivalent to the liaison, dispatch and command center of the guerrilla coalition. At present, there are nearly 200 soldiers and weapons and ammunition enough to deal with a fierce battle. During the running, Weiss quickly judged the situation and weighed the pros and cons: the secret stronghold and material warehouse have been repeatedly "black hands" by the enemy recently, indicating that the opponent has found a breakthrough to dig out the resistance organization from the "underground", and there is no airtight wall in this world. If the enemy is unknown,
In the camp, they only search with purpose, so they will take everyone to attack the enemy, attract the attention of the enemy, and buy time for the personnel transfer of the No. 4 secret camp. But if the enemy already knows the exact location of the No. 4 secret camp, the next step is to sacrifice who will be retained. There are more than 600 people in the camp, most of them are technicians and workers, and the rest are their relatives who do not have the ability to work, including many children. This is the most precious human resources of the "Lorraine guerrilla warriors". If they give up on them and preserve their combat power, it will be a heavy blow to everyone's confidence and even their belief. If they try their best to save them, they are likely to sacrifice the team with the richest combat experience and the best training and equipment level in the Lorraine area.
After running all the way, he finally arrived at the secret camp No. 2. After receiving the alarm message from Fawa through the telephone line, the soldiers were ready for the battle and could set off for battle at any time.
Seeing Weiss back, Major Ezesen hurriedly said to him: "Just judging from the situation we observed, the enemy is indeed heading towards our camp No. 4! We have contacted Camp No. 4 and asked them to close all passages. I hope they can hide it from the enemy this time."
Although Weiss was anxious, when Major Ezesen and the guerrilla warriors focused on themselves, he deliberately kept calm and composed: "We cannot place our hopes on the enemy, we must make the worst."
Parach, who led his troops to live here, resolutely said: "The enemy is in front of you, Colonel, my soldiers and I will always obey your orders. Even in the most cruel battle, we will never take a step back!"
Tottenberg's team was only half of that of Palach, and under voluntary circumstances, they had been incorporated into the combat team of the "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors", which can be regarded as a fusion of the two guerrillas. Even so, he made a statement consistent with Palach.
"If we could dispatch a few more planes, the situation wouldn't be too bad, but now... we have to use the weapons in our hands to fight against the enemy's flying warships." Weiss left the second half without saying, and everyone present knew what he meant.
"No matter how much you have, the most urgent task is to deploy the battle line!" Major Ezeson showed his judgment and decisiveness as a professional soldier and professional staff officer.
"Six teams, leave one supporter, and the rest rushed to Camp No. 4, spread in the valley area, waiting for an opportunity to move, how about?" Weiss was already familiar with the terrain here so that he could plan the layout without a map.
"We have the same idea," Major Ezesen responded. "The 6th Team, as the general preparation, is here to wait for the order. The 1st to 5th Teams will go to the valley as fast as possible, and start from north to south in sequence. The specific tactics will depend on the situation when they arrive there."
Weiss looked down at the watch: "No matter how late, each team set off immediately. Although the personnel in Camp No. 4 do not have any combat capabilities, they have conducted three emergency evacuation exercises before, and are familiar with evacuation order and evacuation routes. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will be able to evacuate the mine within two hours and evacuate to a safe area within five hours."
Major Ezeson immediately called on the commanders of each team to set off with his own teams. After everyone dispersed, he leaned closer and said, "I just talked to Matt. He mentioned, your sister Bella is also in Camp No. 4 today. I can't say much on the phone, but I believe he should take good care of Bella."
