Chapter 255 Reunion
"Everything is ready. Our troops are fully equipped and ready to crush the enemy in front of us. The heavy forces in the south have been wiped out. The International Brigades have been transferred to the south to maintain order and eliminate the remaining enemy troops."
"The military supplies transported from the port of Corsica, the capital of the Republic of Corsica, have been transferred and are expected to sustain the offensive for two years."
Alice stood with her arms crossed, listening to the officer's report. Before the troops move, supplies must be prepared, especially for modern armies, whose needs for supplies have increased exponentially.
After all, medieval armies only needed to fight, while modern armies have many more considerations: what caliber of ammunition to supply, what spare parts to replace for weapons and equipment, what level of transport capacity to provide, how many tons of military rations to deploy...
The military industry in America was ecstatic about the war, since war profits have always been the most lucrative for both domestic and international audiences.
Moreover, the newly formulated war plan involves not only Corsican troops, but also the long-suppressed Northern Church Group A, namely the Second and Third Armies of the Southwestern Theater of Amelan, which will advance rapidly and use the most advanced tactics to shock the world with a small torrent of steel.
"All units of the 2nd and 3rd Marine Brigades in Amelania have moved into combat positions and combat readiness is complete."
"The Independent Mechanized Assault Brigade of the Republic of Brittany is ready and prepared to carry out combat missions."
"The Royal Grenadier Regiment of Burnia is ready."
"...The Third Army of Amelansi reports that all units on the northern border have completed combat preparations and are ready to destroy the enemy's defenses at any time."
"The Second Army reports that they are aware of their combat mission and are awaiting orders to attack."
Compared to the Marine Corps in Amerlane, the Second and Third Armies had more heavy equipment, including not only the M4A3E2 "Sauce Bomb" tanks, but also about an independent tank regiment of M45 tanks, used to test the applicability of new tank chassis.
"Are you ready, Alice? Your command today will be the beginning of the utter destruction of the Church."
Raffarin Lo patted Alice on the shoulder, her eyes full of expectation, like a teacher watching a student prepare to go to the exam hall.
Alice nodded. In front of her was a huge sand table, on which countless arrows connected every city, town, village, and even every important battle point. These countless arrows eventually converged to form an encirclement around the Holy City, pointing directly at it.
That city was the result they had been waiting for, a city that had stood for hundreds of years, a city that had once symbolized the gods of mankind, the last reliance for everyone under the church's rule.
As soon as Amelansi's tanks enter the city, the evil pillar of the church will crumble.
But—Alice turned her gaze back to the starting point—before this, a full year of war was expected to uproot the Church's military power.
However, with the arrow already on the bowstring, it had to be released. Alice took the telephone receiver from the officer beside her and said softly:
"International Brigades, combat units of the Amelan West Federal Republic, this is Commander Red Peak One. Orders issued: Execute Operation Plan—Icon Destruction!"
Just as Alice finished speaking, in the north, before the blue defensive line that had stood for a century, a barrage of artillery fire erupted. The 155mm M1 howitzers of the Ameranian division and the 122mm M30 howitzers of the regiment opened fire together, pouring deadly shells onto the sacred walls and positions built by the church.
In the south, M7 "Priest" self-propelled howitzers and various types of fighter jets equipped with ground attack weapons from the Essex Naval Air Wing of the Amerlane Naval Air Force and the "Flying Pink Pig" Reserve Naval Air Wing, which took off from the Corsica Field Airfield, flew across the lines of both sides toward key tactical nodes belonging to the church.
Howitzers ripped across the sky, blasting the ground-based firing points, fortifications, and obstacles into deep craters. The largest artillery barrage in the planet's history reduced the magnificent city wall to rubble. Beside those centuries-old, blue-tinted walls, military-green steel cannons raised their muzzles, sending deadly shells into the distance.
The smoke and dust from the cannons mingled with the blue light, and along with the shells crashing into the church's territory were various armored vehicles painted in green with red, white and blue borders and white military insignia inside.
M4A3E2和M4A3E8,以及一部分M4A3（105）坦克越过弹坑，在他们的身边，sdkfz251-1搭载着步兵向前，而一部分T17E4（搭载20毫米西斯帕诺机炮的虚构型号）“猎鹿犬”装甲车正在公路上疾驰，这些机动装甲车是不错的侦查载具，凭借其轮式机动能力，可以沿着公路快速部署到最前方，同时使用其20毫米机炮捕杀轻装甲敌军。
Inside the war room, the situation map is updated every 20 minutes. The "Icon Destruction Operation" has only one objective: to attack and capture the Church's most important holy city.
The Second Army cleared out the enemy on the flank of the Sacred Peninsula, while the Third Army, with its larger number of armored units, launched the main attack, breaking through the enemy's main defense line. Finally, the Second Army cleared out the enemy forces on both sides.
If the enemy forces are concentrated on the frontal defense line, the Second Army will attack from both flanks to encircle the church troops on the front.
This is a task that seems simple but is actually not easy at all. However, the huge gap in equipment still gave the Amerlane troops confidence.
After all, on the first day of the war and the first day of the offensive, the Holy City quickly learned through smuggled wires and radios that the vast majority of the troops stationed at the front had lost more than half their strength within three hours and were no longer combat-ready.
After all, their opponents were armored vehicles. A single rifle against a tank or armored vehicle was a desperate battle. The last thing the church soldiers often heard was the clanging of their guns hitting the Amerlane tanks.
It was this sound that made them feel despair.
"The demons have launched a full-scale attack... A significant number of the holy warriors on the front lines have been sacrificed..."
"It is the church's bishop," said Kalisz solemnly.
