Chapter 167 K?nigsberg
() Königsberg is an enclave surrounded by Allied territory on all sides. It is also a thorn in the Treaty Army's backbone that penetrates deep into the Allied defense lines. Although the strategic location is relatively important, this thorn itself is undoubtedly unlucky.
Because no matter what, as soon as the war begins, it will definitely be the first choice target to be besieged. Unless the peripheral treaty forces can break through the long and narrow Danzig Corridor between the two places at the first time, the defenders will be greeted by
The tragic ending of total destruction.
In fact, the development of the entire war situation closely followed this pattern. The Allied forces, which smelled something ominous, attacked first and suddenly cut off all land connections to Königsberg. Two days later, sea connections were also cut off, and only air transportation was still barely maintained.
So, it can be said that the entire Königsberg has been put into the pocket of the Allies.
Throwing us into such a stupid place at this time is not training, we are simply being used as cannon fodder!
We got angry at that time and protested in groups. But it was no use. We were already on the plane. How could we jump off the plane and swim back to Moscow from the Baltic Sea? After making trouble for a while, we had to give up.
An hour later, we got off the plane at Königsberg Military Airport with sore backs. The mechanics used construction machinery to help us drag the mecha out of several other cargo planes and brought it to the hangar for maintenance and ammunition replenishment.
A lieutenant officer with a Central Asian face was responsible for pulling us in two trucks to a retro neighborhood with a rather Gothic style.
"This is your barracks. You can choose any one to live in, but be careful not to spread out too much. After you have chosen, just go to the guard room at the door to register. For food, you can go to the 12th floor Queen Auguste Hotel nearby.
'On the first floor, meals are served on time at six o'clock, eleven-thirty, and five-thirty every day. However, the food is limited in recent days. If you want to eat enough, you have to add food money."
"I'll go, this feels like a rich man's vacation."
The madman let out a long sigh, staring at the luxurious community in front of him and drooling. For some reason, we always have an innate love for European-style buildings.
"Is this really okay? This is civilian housing?"
Datou asked worriedly.
The lieutenant smiled bitterly and replied:
"The people have been running away a few months ago. Because there have been too many reinforcements recently, the regular military camps are not enough, so we have to temporarily requisition these civilian houses. Anyway, these are all good, but they will all be ashes when they are beaten. Take the morning
Just enjoy it."
I don’t know if the second half of the sentence is sincerely intended to make us sick.
At first we thought this was a bad place. Anyway, we were just hanging around in the treaty army, and we could just hang around for a few days. But after the activities of the master hacker Bao Yu, and the top student with the highest IQ in the teaching group,
After analysis, we finally came to a new conclusion - this is not a bad place, this is a hellish place!
Stationed in Königsberg is the 33rd Mechanized Army of the Treaty Army. Judging from the establishment, it seems to be quite large in number. However, please note that the Treaty Army only had an organization of thirty armies half a year ago, which means that the troops with designation 30 or later
, are all new armies expanded from reserve forces. Compared with the Thirty-Third Army to which I am now affiliated, it only took four months to form an army. The mechas only reached 70% of the standard establishment, the vehicles only reached 68% of the standard establishment, and the artillery only reached 70% of the standard establishment.
It reaches 72% of the standard establishment, the technical officers only reach 65% of the establishment, the experienced senior officers are less than 30%, and the grassroots officers are even worse. Almost all of them are rookies who have just come out of the military academy. It is no exaggeration to say that this is still an army.
The "lame" regiment.
"Isn't this worse?" As if he still felt that the blow we received was not severe enough, Bao Yu casually called up another piece of information, "The soldiers of this group army are basically reserve forces in Central Asia."
"Oh, isn't that great? It's easy to talk to everyone since they are Asian..."
The abalone spurted out a mouthful of water.
"Damn it, how did you pass the world geography elective course back then? You thought you were a compatriot if you took the word "ya". Since the old century, Central Asia has been fighting with the bear, during the New Year and during the holidays.
They were still fighting until the last hour of the new century. Those guys were all nomads. Not only were they brave and aggressive, but they also had extremely bad tempers. If you pissed them off, I would kill them even if you pissed them off. I’ll beat you up like a bear.
These guys haven't been completely surrendered for centuries, so you said you'd be crazy to fight with them."
"I have also investigated the rest of the reinforcements. They are all mechanized brigades or mechanized columns composed of members of various unwelcome ethnic minorities. The personnel are of poor quality and the equipment is also poor. More importantly, it is difficult to say whether they are.
We have the same heart as the bear. In short, the bear treats this place like an extra-large trash can."
We couldn't help but scold Mao Xiong for being so evil, but we didn't forget to get rid of some unsightly troops.
But a huge question also emerged.
"Why is this happening? Königsberg should be regarded as an important forward stronghold for the Treaty Army. How do you send a group of people to garrison it?"
At this time, the top student sitting by the window sill, thinking hard, finally spoke.
"The reason is very simple, that is, the Treaty Army had no intention of fighting the Allies in Königsberg. This place was just a bait to attract the attention of the Allies. The real elite main force should be somewhere we don't know.
Accumulate your strength locally and prepare to suddenly deliver a fatal blow."
This judgment is simply shocking. Königsberg has been in the hands of the Treaty Army for half a century and has been promoted as the strongest forward fortress of the Treaty Army. Now it has so casually retreated to the second line or even given up. The Treaty Army has been in the hands of the Treaty Army for half a century.
What on earth are you doing?
"There is nothing difficult to understand, because the Treaty Army has lost the upper hand, and the Allies have taken the lead to cut off the connection between Viborg and the Treaty Army. Although Viborg's own strength has not been weakened, in this way, Viborg serves as a strategic bridgehead
The value has also been lost and can only be pinned to the northern front as a dead move that cannot be used. Instead of consuming resources here, it is better to change the direction and prepare for the war again."
"Damn it, I have to beat those two bastards to death when I get back."
Tieniu cursed angrily.
"Now it depends on whether the Treaty Bureau can open up the Danzig Corridor in time, otherwise we will end up going to the sea to feed the fish."
Xue Badao, let's think about it carefully. Although all the original garrison troops were gone, those iron fortifications are still there. Moreover, the Danzig Corridor is as wide as an earthworm. With the assault capability of the treaty army, ten and a half days
You can wear them in pairs within a month.
But Abalone broke this illusion immediately.
"The possibility is very, very small. Instead of thinking about this thing, it is better to prepare for war and food to save ourselves."
"Why?"
"It's simple, because across the Danzig Corridor is the Thirty-first Army of the Treaty Army."
When I heard the number, I thought it was a second-rate unit.
"It's okay to be second-rate. The problem is that the commander of this unit is still an old acquaintance of ours," Bao Yu said while his other hand moved on the virtual keyboard without stopping, "Lieutenant General Londenev.
"
"Holy shit!"
We all yelled loudly. Apart from our friendship, this guy is also notorious in the army. He has done countless bad things like bullying his subordinates, embezzling funds, and using military materials to build villas.
On the battlefield, he is timid and has no independent ideas. His reaction is slightly faster than that of a pig, and his way of thinking is a bit more agile than that of a gorilla. He has crippled countless elite troops, but his ability to flatter others is extremely high.
He was bombed twice, but after a lot of trouble, he came back to be his lieutenant general commander.
This can no longer be described as a pig teammate. It should be said that there is no lower limit than a pig.
This time it was completely hopeless. Amidst sighs and sighs, we all prepared to go out for a drink and use wine to heal our wounded hearts. Anyway, there was no combat mission for the time being. Who cares, it’s so inhumane to not give anyone a drink if they are all in such a mess.
Quite a bit.
Because of the impending war, all the shops on the street were closed, and all residents implemented light control. However, no matter how strong the electronic lock was, it could not stop the enthusiastic customers. They took time out of their busy schedules and came in groups.
In front of the store, use a gun butt or a Foshan shadowless foot to open the store door, enthusiastically select the goods you need without a shopping guide and lights, and then roll them out in large and small packages. As we walked along, the shops on both sides made ping-pong movements.
There was a loud noise, and several women's screams were heard from time to time, as if tomorrow was the end of the world, and all laws and morals were turned into waste paper.
Groups of Marine Mechas [Depp] walked through the dark and chaotic streets with searchlights on, turning a blind eye to the chaos on both sides. Instead, they stopped those of us who were walking well. The 23mm armored machine guns were filled with black holes.
The muzzle of the gun was directly above our heads.
"Hey, which part do you belong to?"
At this time, Tieniu showed his magnanimity as a boss and walked up to the seven-meter-tall mecha and roared.
"We are the training class of the Kutuzov Military Academy who are here to save the situation. We are here to get a drink. Put your blowgun away!"
These gangsters are obviously provocative, and they can only be more powerful and awesome than him for this kind of tough guy.
Sure enough, the leading guy laughed and moved the armored machine gun away.
"Hey, isn't it just a bunch of people dying? You're so proud. Go straight for 500 meters. Turn left first, then go straight. Brothers, let's go."
"Aren't you going to take care of this matter?"
Datou looked at the chaos on the street and couldn't help but ask.
"What the heck with the birds, they will be gone after two days of fighting. Instead of watching them burn to ashes, I might as well take them home and use them as waste."
The mecha soldier said indifferently.
It's really top-notch fallacy.
After kicking the trash that was thrown out, we walked around the street for a long time before we finally found the wine shop, and thankfully, there was a sign saying it was open for business. When we walked in, there were already hundreds of people drinking.
, all of them have fierce expressions, and they really don’t look like kind-hearted people. Unlike the furry bears, many of them have obvious beards.
"Tch, I thought it was something, but it turned out to be a yellow-skinned monkey from East Asia."
Someone snorted and sneered, and there was a sound of mockery all around.
