Chapter 31 Redemption and Salvation

In the cold sky, three Federal Army fighter jets flew west in triangular formations. In their open cockpits, the pilots had already accumulated a thin layer of white frost on their exposed faces, but there was no fear of the cold in their blue eyes.

At this height of cumulus clouds, the three aircraft must maintain an appropriate distance to avoid dissipation in the clouds and fog and prevent collisions. Without sufficient training, it is difficult to grasp this degree.

During the flight, the pilot and his partner kept looking towards the ground. Below the wings are Ulster's mountains, rivers and rivers, which are their motherland and homeland. However, in the cold winter, the ground is white and it is very difficult to distinguish the direction using natural geographical features. In this case, towns have a relatively reliable reference - the urban outline and street distribution of each town have their own characteristics, especially in the mountains, the direction of the town, the concentration of the building, and even the location of the gathering square. However, if you want to identify the characteristics of the town, the plane must fly low.

As the target area was getting closer, the pilot of the aircraft made a gesture to his companions: lower the altitude and go down and take a look!

Three white war eagles rushed to the low altitude. Soon, the pilots found a town with smoke on the ground, but before they could fly over the town, a jumping flame suddenly appeared on the ground. Immediately afterwards, the whistling shells exploded in the sky, and the fireworks in the day were not dazzling. The smoke from the explosion seemed to be thrown on the gray curtain, with irregular distribution, and the old ones had not disappeared, and the new ones came again. The airflow caused by the explosion made the planes gallop like cars on the rugged roads in the mountains.

In the era without radar, anti-aircraft guns rely on manual observation and manual judgment. Small-caliber anti-aircraft guns have a short range and low power. Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns have a slow firing rate and poor accuracy. Generally speaking, hundreds of shells are difficult to shoot an aircraft. Three Federal Army fighters slightly adjust their course and avoid the concentrated area of ​​the enemy's barrage. Obviously, they had no intention of spending their energy and precious bombs here. After flying over the town, the pilot of the aircraft made a gesture: Climb and continue flying forward with me!

The three war eagles each pulled up the nose and flew away with disdain with contempt for the enemy.

On the ground, in several open areas inside and outside the town, anti-aircraft guns were still pointing to the sky with their heads raised, and groups of Norman soldiers raised their heads and watched the enemy's planes disappear into the clouds. The battle alarm was temporarily lifted, but these people did not disband. Some of them continued to stay in the gun position, most of whom surrounded the fire near the gun position, relying on the heat emitted by firewood to resist the severe cold outdoors.

At the beginning of the occupation of Lorraine, the Normans implemented the strategy of permanent garrisoning of a small number of troops and maneuvering cruises in flight ships. However, as the resistance movement progressed, they had to send more troops and use various conventional and unconventional means to suppress the resistance. The Lorraine resistance armed forces acquired and used aircraft to raid the Norman garrison, which became an important turning point in this "asymmetric war". Since then, the Norman army has had to dispatch combat ships in the Lorraine Mountains, send ground troops to various strongholds and towns, and increase air defense equipment. These combat forces have been constrained on this barren and steep land.

Instead of being sent to the front line to fight with regular federal troops. What made the Normans even more troubled was that Lorraine's resistance seemed to be a terrible and contagious bacteria. As time went by, it not only did not be eliminated, but also made many occupied areas with stable conditions restless. The large or small guerrillas made the local Norman army exhausted from dealing with it. The tightness in the rear in turn increased the burden on the front line troops. The comfortable rest of the earlier period turned into irregular combat without talking about time and location, and it was difficult for officers and soldiers to relax enough spirit and physically.

At the northwest end of the Lorraine Mountains, the founders of the Lorraine Resistance Movement were fighting a desperate battle with the elite troops of the Norman occupying forces. In the vast snow forest, experienced resistanceists tried their best to play their home advantage, which made the Normans pay a heavy price for every step forward. However, the huge gap in strength between the two sides and the "innate advantage" of the Norman army in tactical execution made the balance of victory and defeat continue to tilt towards the attacking side. If it weren't for the mines that could not be found, the ground was broken limbs and broken arms and the wailing of injured companions, which made the Normans temporarily stop the attack at the threshold of victory at the right time, and the resistance players had already lost all the battle...

Looking at the few guerrilla soldiers around and looking at each face that could not hide their hopelessness, Weiss, who is good at boosting morale, didn't know what to say. In the eyes of others, if this resistance armed forces transfer early to avoid head-on confrontation with the Norman army, they would not be on the verge of destruction at this time. However, they did not know that the Norman army had made careful arrangements for this battle. Unless the guerrillas left the elderly, weak, women and children to evacuate themselves, no matter which direction the resistance team moved, they would face Norman encirclement and blockade, and they would lose the protection of the preset fortifications and have almost no chance of winning the battle.

If you stick to it locally, there may be a glimmer of hope.

"Soldiers, continue to lay out landmines to block the enemy from breaking from the front and prevent the enemy from detouring from the wings and side back! Northon, Northon! Move your machine guns to the left wing! Bucks, ammunition! No ammunition? Your artillery team temporarily acts as grenadiers and directly enters the battle!"

At the tunnel entrance, Major Ezesen carefully deployed the battle.

If it were himself, Weiss thought that he could only do this. Since there was an Ezesen here to arrange the battle situation, he didn't need to stay in the overlapping position. He carried a sniper rifle, prepared his snow camouflage uniform, climbed up the high snow money, and acted as the guerrilla's hawkeye and sharp beak...

In the special view overlooking the woodland, the distribution and mobilization of the Normans were clear at a glance. Weiss saw that the morale of the Norman soldiers was not high and their physical condition was not ideal, but they had sufficient infantry firepower. The combination of machine guns + pineapple bullets + flamethrowers was quite deterrent in the positional battle. With the cover of armored vehicles, if they were willing to break from the front at any cost, there would be no big suspense to win the battle.

Feint attack in the middle, main attack in the right wing?

Seeing the Normans split into two groups in the forest, a few troops advanced head-on, and most of them moved to the right wing of the front line, Weiss snorted coldly. As the saying goes, success is Xiao He and failure are Xiao He. The Norman army won countless victories with their skillful tactical strategies, so that they subconsciously formed the concept that tactics beat everything. Even in such a battle with clear strength and weakness, they were unwilling to have a "reckless" attack on the whole army and win a battle with strength to win a battle, which actually gave the resisters the opportunity to deal with moves.

Weiss on the tree could not shout loudly, nor could he move around at will, but the veteran had his way: he tied a white strap on the butt, half a pencil and a few pieces of paper stuck, and only needed subtle movements to write down the information he wanted to convey, grab a handful of snow from the branches, wrap the paper, and make it like snow that fell naturally. The correspondent who was waiting under the tree could quickly send the information and instructions he provided to Major Ezesen.

Just as the main combat forces of the guerrillas actively responded to the enemy's upcoming attack, on the right wing of the front line, that is, the south side of the snow forest, a unique gunshot of the 1.4pir-diameter semi-automatic rifle suddenly sounded, two sounds in one group, three groups were fired. These rhythmic gunshots seemed to be the starting tune of a symphony. In a blink of an eye, the gunshots in that direction were loud, and were mainly powerful gunshots of Norman army-style guns. Weiss narrowed his eyes and saw several looming green virtual frames almost flooded by a large pile of red virtual frames, but the continuous gunshots mean that they were not really swallowed by the opponent. In the gap between the Norman gunshots, a few crisp gunshots can be heard occasionally, which is the most outstanding work of the Klumber-Hesen Factory in recent years...

The battle on the flanks restrained and distracted some of the Norman army, but failed to stop them from attacking the Resistant Camp again. This time, they not only invested hundreds of infantry, but also sent more armored vehicles than the previous one - it was obvious that some of the previous tanks that had failed or suffered damage were repaired in time.

With no way to retreat, the guerrilla soldiers left their psychological burden and entered the battle with unprecedented calmness and calmness. They moved quickly in the snow, leaning on trees and bunkers to fight. They walked through tunnels that were not destroyed or blocked by the enemy, threw thunder or shots from unexpected places to lure the enemy to pursue, and then cleaned up the enemy in the maze-like tunnel. At this moment, they were the real masters of this land, integrated with the environment, and instantly sublimated to the realm of winning by skills.

The brave resistance of the guerrilla soldiers, although they did not have the energy to turn the situation alone, dragged the Normans into a war of attrition that they did not want to see. The Normans stepped on landmines, the resisters were shelled, and the warriors threw pineapple bombs at each other. The smoke from various explosions rose in the forest, looking down at the ground from the air, it seemed that volcanoes collapsed and magma erupted, as if the huge snow forest was about to be destroyed... When the roar of the plane came, the war in the forest suddenly decreased. The Normans seemed to have heard the order of Mingjin to withdraw their troops, quickly stopped attacking, and retreated. During this period, although the Norman army also began to equip this aircraft that used internal combustion engine technology and aerodynamic principles, on the battlefield, this mechanical roar was always a unique symbol of the Federal Army's flight forces.
