The artillery preparation will begin in half an hour, and the First Cavalry Division of the Imperial Guard will be dispatched at the same time, so as to launch an attack on the enemy's defense line when the artillery preparation is over.

This was the first battle of the First Cavalry Division of the Imperial Guard on the Western Front and the last charge of the Western Front Cavalry Units.

The 10,000 troops in the Tibetan Bing Valley were the last cavalry unit on the Western Front!

Perhaps, the upcoming battle will become a masterpiece of the cavalry.

The trumpet sounded, and the brigadier general rushed out of the army and rode his horse past the formation.

A wave of sounds followed one after another.

"The cavalry attacked and was invincible!"

When the sound waves came like a strong wind, Captain Lian Xusheng, who was standing in front of the column, also opened his voice and shouted heart-wrenchingly.

Not to mention that Lian Xusheng was just the squadron leader, even the captain standing in front of him was infected and affected.

He rode his horse past the battle formation, but the brigadier general did not leave, and ran back with his shiny sabre.

"For the country--"

"Go to the trouble!"

"For the country--"

"Go to the trouble!"

...

As the Brigadier General was rushing to the scene, the officers in the front row of the battle formation drew their sabers one after another.

"Cabinet attacks, invincible" is the battle slogan of the imperial cavalry unit, and "Going for trouble for the country" is the motto of the imperial guards.

For hundreds of years, whenever the moment of life and death comes, the Imperial Guards will stand up.

"For the country--"

"Go to the trouble!"

He plucked up all his strength and shouted loudly. At the same time, Lian Xusheng pulled out his saber and raised it high above his head.

In the east, a ray of dawn appeared.

In a moment, the artillery fire will illuminate the night sky before dawn, which is also the cavalry's charge. Next, ten thousand cavalry will rush towards the enemy's defense line composed of barbed wire and trenches under the illumination of the rising sun without hesitation, and every fifty meters, carrying a Maxim heavy machine gun.

Ten thousand horses neighed, swords and swords.

Lian Xusheng's mind was blank, and all that was left was the unswerving motto.

Go to trouble for the country!

…………

The southwestern border of the empire, the Yunwu River Canyon, a field airport.

"...I remember everything. The first task is to find the artillery positions behind these lines of defense and prepare for the upcoming general attack..."

In the combat conference room, an aviation colonel is introducing the mission.

In fact, it is just a large tent that can place dozens of chairs and an area of ​​more than one hundred square meters.

The Yunwu River originated from the Wuji Plateau and winded for thousands of meters. Here, it cut a large hole in the Cangqiu Mountains that stretched from west to east, and then flowed south like a wild horse that broke out from the east of the Gangaro Plain, and finally injected into the Fanyan Ocean from the eastern part of the Gangaro Plain.

"Gangalo" means "wide and fertile" in the Fanyan language.

In the southeast of the canyon is the toe peninsula covered by tropical rainforests, which separates the eastern ocean from the Vanyan Ocean, and to the southwest is the Gangaro Plain.

The lower reaches of the Yunwu River are actually the geographical dividing line between the Toe Peninsula and the Gangaro Plain.

The canyon is on the southern slope of the Sky Mountains, overlooking the entire Toe Peninsula and the Gangaro Plain.

In order to control this strategic location, the Imperial Army Engineering Force spent twenty years, and the lives of thousands of officers and soldiers built a railway across the Toe Peninsula.

Although the empire had no ambitions for the Gangaro Plain, it needed to rely on military deterrence to restrain the great powers.

A hundred thousand troops were deployed here. With the favorable terrain of condescending heights, the enemy needed to use two million troops to guard the towns and major traffic arteries on the plains.

If the canyon is abandoned, at least half a million troops will be required to defend the Toe Peninsula.

For more than four years, the Imperial Army has relied on its natural geographical advantages to repel the enemy's attacks again and again, and has never allowed the great powers to attack the Toe Peninsula.

But now, the situation has changed.

Before this, the colonel clearly mentioned that the naval local fleet was about to enter the East Ocean, and the army would launch a counterattack on the Western Front and the Northeast at the same time. In just a few days, the army can achieve a decisive victory in the Northeast and gain a strategic advantage on the Western Front, thereby investing millions of troops in the Southwest. If the upcoming dry season can be fully utilized, it is expected to achieve a decisive victory before the next rainy season arrives.

Capture the Gangaro Plain, which serves as the granary of the alliance group.

The premise is that you must break through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop.

If the breakthrough fails and becomes a protracted war of attrition, the counterattack will inevitably end in a crushing defeat.

To this end, the Imperial Army spent several months secretly deploying ten artillery divisions in the canyon and preparing five base shells.

Although there are thousands of artillery and tens of thousands of tons of shells, it is not much compared to the battle targets.

To this end, the artillery fire strikes in the preparation stage must not only be accurate enough, but also have sufficient suddenness.

The result is that the reconnaissance operation is scheduled several hours before the war begins, and after the target is discovered, the reconnaissance aircraft must return to the report as soon as possible.

Time is tight, not only two-seater reconnaissance aircraft, but even single-seater fighter aircraft have to be used.

"Soldiers, victory or defeat is here." The colonel finished his mission introduction and began to mobilize pre-warly. "Fifteen minutes later, the first batch of planes will take off. As usual, I will fly in the front. I don't want to say more about the others. I hope everyone will come back alive and celebrate the great victory!"

"Eagle strikes the sky!" A pilot sitting in the first row stood up and shouted the slogan of the aviation army.

"Diss the world!"

Behind him, the other pilots stood up at the same time and shouted the second half of the slogan.

Then, the pilot left the conference room one by one and rushed to their respective warhawks.

Just, there is an exception.

Major Li Yunxiang was sitting in the last row.

After the other pilots left, he stood up and walked towards the colonel who was busy sorting out documents.

Although he has long been an ace pilot, he has no trump card looks like.

The flying cap buckled on the head, the open jacket, like a shirt that has never been washed, and a belt that looks like it may collapse at any time.

If he hadn't had a major hat badge, he would definitely be treated as a soldier.

In the eyes of his superiors, he was just a thorn.

"Col...”

"Stop talking, do you think it's appropriate to come to me now?" The Colonel obviously expected it. "As long as you can complete the assigned tasks, you can do whatever you want. The bombing tactic you proposed for "concentrated bomb drop" will be discussed later when the battle is over."

"Make sure to complete the task!"

Before the colonel could answer, Li Yunxiang turned around and ran out.

Looking at his back, the colonel couldn't help but sigh, and then smiled bitterly.

Here, including the reconnaissance aircraft equipped with machine guns, there were less than a hundred fighter jets, and there were at least a thousand fighters across the front line.

That's right, Li Yunxiang is a trump card with thirty-seven individual results, a maverick in the air who makes the enemy frightened.

But can he still laugh at the sky with a bomb loaded with hundreds of kilograms?

…………

The northeast border of the empire, the Ice Storm Peninsula, and a battlefield hospital on the Northeast Front.

Some people think that this peninsula, famous for its severe cold and strong winds in winter, is the empire's eagle beak, which can discourage enemies from the east.

Some people also say that it is the appendix of the empire, and whenever the empire is weak and qi is weak, it will cause illness.

But now, it has become an ulcer that cannot be cured and is still bleeding from the empire.

Among the three ground fronts, the Northeast front was finally formed, but it was also the most cruel and tragic.

In the past two years, around this front with a width of less than 300 kilometers, the two sides have fought hundreds of times, and only invested more than 100,000 large-scale battles, almost once every two months. At least three million officers and soldiers were buried within a range of fifteen thousand meters north and south of the front. At such a tragic price and suffering such a tragic hardship, they are just holding their current positions.

For more than two years, no soldier has been able to crawl forward five hundred meters after leaping out the trenches.

In the face of a line of defense composed of trenches, barbed wire, machine guns and artillery, any flesh and blood cannot make progress. Charge is to ruin a living life in vain.

Interestingly, after the front line was formed, the busiest thing was no longer the soldiers holding rifles and squatting in the mud at the bottom of the trench, and were anxious all day long, but the military doctors in the field hospital. Whenever the artillery on both sides was ready to deal with the damp shells, or the newly appointed commander wanted to perform, hundreds of soldiers would become victims, and those who were lucky would be relieved, while those who were unfortunate would be accompanied by disability and nightmare for life.

Early in the morning, the Battlefield General Hospital built next to the train station became lively.

It is not that the battle broke out on the front line, but that the army arrived at the train station on time and unloaded the supplies smoothly, and the wounded were transported away on the return journey.

"No, no, no, no, no, these are all left behind. They are helpless, and they will die if they are sent to the train."

At the call of the medical officer, the civilians who carried the wounded put down the stretcher in their hands. Even though the wounded were alive, several of them were still awake.

"From here, the wounded with marks on the forehead can be sent to the train."

On the side of the road, hundreds of stretchers were neatly placed, and several medical staff holding red watercolor pens were marking the injured.

The circle indicates that the injury has been dealt with and there is no need for treatment for the time being.
