Chapter 355 05.0354: "Hey! My kidneys"

Several months after the blizzard clouds dissipated, there was finally a hint of warmth in the atmosphere, and the earth after the snow melted began to show a little bit of belated spring.

Some old trees covered with snow have sprouted tender green new branches. After enduring the difficult and biting artificial winter, the main continent of Far is now full of vitality, with all things flourishing, as if the past is still before our eyes.

When the Astra Militarum stormed the well-fortified defensive stronghold of Mount Montachia, the southern rebels had to urgently retreat to defend.

The Astra Militarum pursued them all the way, and wherever they passed there were the wreckage of the rebels' vehicles and charred corpses.

Horatio used aerial assaults and suborbital airdrops to send Hell's Vanguard's long-distance infiltration reconnaissance teams to the vicinity of the roads still in the enemy-controlled area.

Relying on ground guidance, the Imperial Navy Air Force attacked ground enemy targets day and night, at one point turning the rebels' barely organized retreat into a rout.

The resistance encountered along the way cannot be said to be negligible, but it can be said that they collapsed at the first touch.

In just one week, the southern front had advanced more than a thousand kilometers.

Horatio, with dark circles under his eyes, rode on his horse a little tiredly. He pinched his aching waist and hips, then analyzed the aerial reconnaissance intelligence displayed on the data board in his hand.

In the past few days, I have been using professional brain-burning construction such as air combat plans, aviation reserve planning, and safe firepower fields.

After the two of them had gone from being at loggerheads to being exhausted, the conflict between Farida and Louise was finally not as tense as it was at the beginning.

At the same time, he watered them both equally and treated them equally, allowing them to feel that he was not partial to anyone, trying to make them realize that they were both his wings.

After a lot of adjustment, energy and hard work.

Although the two of them still disliked each other and their eyes became cold when they met, it was not to the extent that three people could accept sleeping in the same bed.

But at least they began to get used to the existence of such a shared lover.

From an open fight, it turned into a secret competition and involution in private.

In this kind of competition, the two women's passion for him became more and more intense.

They all longed to do better, to make Horatio more fascinated by them, to become more caring and warm in front of him, and there was no tendency for their emotions to cool down over time.

[Congratulations, congratulations, it turns out that taking things slow is always the right thing to do. You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, that’s how women are.]
He had put a lot of energy and physical fatigue into arranging tactics and strategies and dealing with the two women. He rubbed his temples sleepily and continued to look at the holographic map.

At this time, he was already 1200 kilometers away from the original landing point.

The site of the field airport has been changed several times. The construction speed of the field front-line airport built with modular engineering components cannot even keep up with the advance speed of the 1st Brigade. The 1st Brigade has become a sharp knife that penetrates deep into the enemy's body and pierces the heart.

Although the rebels seem to be losing the battle at present, in fact the intelligence war between the two sides on the secret front has never stopped for a moment.

Intelligence, both true and false, came from many sources and was sent to the General Staff from all fronts, but no one could tell exactly what the situation on the front lines was like.

But one indisputable fact is that the 1st Brigade has been sinking deeper and deeper into enemy-occupied territory. Just as Horatio had expected, the light infantry battalion's front line is becoming increasingly difficult to advance in the mud after the snow melted.

The soft mud made the Modians' decent military uniforms look shabby. On the vast plains, the mud in the farmland could cover their military boots with just a step.

Many soldiers developed foot diseases due to long periods of marching in the mud, and the number of non-combat casualties continued to rise.

The rebel stragglers and lost soldiers were also mixed along the way, and exchanges of fire would occur from time to time.

However, it is still an unrealistic plan for the rebels to encircle the British 1st Brigade, a large and powerful mechanized force. "Sir, we have received intelligence from the Southeast Front Command. After inspection, it is indeed sent by our people." The messenger rode all the way over and handed a telegram to Sir Wellesley.

The knight took one look and said to Horatio:
"The British troops of the Southeast Front on our left have sent a notice saying that the enemy armored unit they were fighting is retreating. That enemy unit had always been a tough nut to crack, but now they are suddenly retreating. What do you think the enemy's intention is, Mr. Cochrane?"

As he spoke, he handed the page of military intelligence to Horatio.

"This is news from the adjacent war zone, hundreds of kilometers away from us."

"That's right. The enemy may want to shrink their defense depth and fight a last-ditch battle to defend the core hive cluster."

Horatio exhaled, "I hope they think so."

"What do you mean?" The knight looked at Horatio in confusion.

"The 1st Brigade has been advancing at a very fast speed in recent days and is now in the enemy's strategic depth. After we crossed the Montachia Mountain defense line, the rebels along the way really lacked the ability and fighting spirit to stop us, and they didn't even organize a second strong defensive support point.

But the road was too clean and we advanced too smoothly. I don't remember that I carried out air strikes on these villages and resource points. Then who burned down these houses along the way?"

"Mr. Cochrane, you don't really think the rebels are capable of surrounding our entire brigade? Yes, they are indeed numerous, just like the corpses scattered all over the ground."

The knight pointed his cane at the charred bodies of the rebels on the ground and said, "But it is simply a fantasy for these rabble to rely on their flesh and blood to stop our steel torrent."

"It's not that I'm worried about being surrounded, but I'm confused by the enemy's strategic intentions. Why did they speed up their retreat after the snow melted? Obviously, the change in the environment has delayed our advance, which is more beneficial to their defense."

"What you said makes sense, but I still tend to think that they want to shrink their forces and plan to fight us to the death in the industrial area and the central hive area with hard ground.

Our current strategic judgment is very important for the next battle. Should we continue to advance at a high speed and kill the enemy before they can complete their defenses in the central core area, or should we slow down our march and guard against possible flank encirclement and surprise attacks? "

The Jazz frowned, “No matter which option you choose, it will determine the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Perhaps when we are a beat slow in making a decision, the enemy has already reinforced the fortress defense group in the core area, and we have to pay the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to take down a fortress.

Perhaps as we continue to march at high speed along Central Highway 54, ignoring the potential dangers, we will unexpectedly step into the enemy's trap.

Of course, it is my job to carefully weigh the pros and cons and make the final decision.”

After analyzing the situation himself, the knight smiled and raised his hat in greeting.

Boom!

There was a discordant explosion up ahead, and Horatio instantly perked up and became alert.

In any case, an explosion of this magnitude should not have occurred so close to the brigade headquarters.
