Chapter 1736 Determined
September has arrived and the weather has changed.
The wind blowing from the south is no longer so violent. There is a hint of coolness and a large group of insects under the shade of the trees, and there are much fewer clouds in the sky.
Charles came to Qiangcheng's own office early in the morning and saw an orderly man carrying a wooden barrel to collect the mosquito corpses from the mosquito killing lamp.
Before he could sit down behind the office, he was called to the command center.
The deputy commanders in the command center were rushing to arrive one after another, and Chief of Staff Wasseyev was commanding the staff to insert small flags representing the enemy on the sand table.
Recently, a large number of enemies are moving to a place 30 kilometers outside the north end of the city. The number of people currently discovered is about 250,000, and this number is still increasing.
From 6:00 to 7:00 this morning, the enemy fired violently on a defensive position about ten kilometers wide, and carried out constrained artillery bombardment in the rest of the area. At dawn, a large-scale attack was launched in the main attack area.
The communications in the command center were soon called the 973rd Division command on the front line. The enemy's main attack position was on their defense line, and the division commander Konev reported on the battle situation.
"The enemy has just retreated." He said in the continuous explosion. "The enemy has dispatched a lot of troops this time, but they retreated just after a little loss. The artillery came up shortly after retreating."
"At present, the enemy's artillery arrangement density is much higher than before, but it maintains a low rate of fire and does not shoot with all its strength."
"I judge that the enemy should be waiting for an opportunity."
After listening to Konev's report, Charles reminded: "Be careful that the enemy will lead the soldiers out of fortifications and then cover them with artillery fire."
The headquarters then asked the divisions on the northern front and the army on the southern front, and obtained the latest trends on the entire front.
Except for the 973rd Division in the north, there were restrained attacks everywhere.
In the south, this morning was quiet.
"There is a conspiracy," Charles said.
Suvorov nodded in agreement: "The enemy may be breaking through from the north, or it may be to mobilize our troops to go north and launch it in the south. It is not ruled out that both sides will launch it at the same time."
Most of the questions on the battlefield are multiple-choice questions, and the correct answers are mixed with the options of true and false, and the commander needs to find them out.
Just like this question,
The enemy's main attack direction is ____?
a. North
b. South
Then the answer may be a, b, or ab. It is not surprising that aba appears, and it is not ruled out that there are options c that you don’t know.
Among the methods of doing the questions, you can get rid of wrong options.
For example, when taking the initiative, launching a tentative attack and check the other party's reaction.

Charles asked Vasilev: "How about a counterattack on the North Line? Can a small force be sent to find a key point to raid and destroy it before returning?"
Suvorov immediately understood Marshal Xi's thoughts and immediately said: "The attacking troops on the northern line are likely to be a piece of bait. The enemy has already developed in an attack formation. We can indeed catch the enemy off guard when we attack against each other, but after they entangled our attacking troops, they used the troops deployed in the second and third-line positions to fight back, and we will also suffer considerable losses."
"They had such a tactic before, because the Kuyavia army was good at using poison. If they used large-scale poison gas of autoimmune in the melee, our combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. When our troops left the position and were entangled, the enemy's counterattack power would likely suffer a lot."
Based on experience, he made a judgment on the enemy's next actions.
The commander-in-chief had a little conflict, and Huaseyev became a peacemaker there. He said: "Your Highness's plan is feasible. As long as our counterattack is not too deep, we will not fall into the trap of the enemy."
"This counterattack can be mainly about eliminating the enemy's technical equipment, and at the same time, the Air Force is ready to eliminate the enemy's rear army if it is dispatched, and they will be eliminated during the march."
Although his plan goes against the combat principle that mainly eliminates living forces, the technical equipment of the enemy can also achieve the purpose of weakening the enemy, and at the same time can avoid what Suvorov said to be trapped in entanglement with the enemy.
Charles pinched his chin and thought for two minutes. He was not a stubborn person. Other people's opinions needed to be fully listened to, especially the old officer like Suvorov who had fought with the demon for decades.
Although the enemy's weapons have been updated, many tactical ideas will not change.
Commander Shi finally agreed to Huasilev's suggestion, but he looked at Novikov, the deputy commander in charge of the air force, and said: "This counterattack can be dominated by the air force, and try the 'turtle' that just arrived."
Judging from the current battle examples, the Kuyavia army has almost no solution to the air power of the Lurik Kingdom. To deal with anti-gravity helicopters, they can only rely on suicide attacks or sneak attacks by experts, but the demons do not have this spirit of sacrifice.
However, according to the information recently obtained by Linden Wan, some people found that the Kingdom of Kuyavia is developing a multi-barrel air-to-air weapon, which may be targeted at helicopters.
Although the effective range of this weapon is not far based on the caliber and magic crystal gun performance, the helicopter's attack distance was ordered to increase.
At this time, new weapons were shipped.
The small missile code-named "Turt" is 150 cm long and has a diameter of 140 mm. It has a cross-shaped tail at the tail, a flight speed of 130m/s, and an effective range of 500-2500m. The core of its guidance system is improved by traditional golem puppets.
When in use, the weapon operator first connects and activates the missile, allowing the "eyes" on the missile's head to "see" the scene in the distance, and then chooses the enemy target to attack. After launching, the "missile puppet" will hit the target with a few kilograms of explosives.
Charles was very concerned about this weapon, and this counterattack happened to be tested on the battlefield.
Huasilev and Novikov discussed that if they only attack technical equipment such as magic crystal cannons and steam tanks, the front-line helicopters are indeed a good choice.
The headquarters quickly made up its determination to fight, and the General Staff began to formulate a counterattack plan on the original plan and dispatched troops to implement it.
On the southern line, the General Staff gave several important goals, including bridges, warehouses and inland ports.
Everyone discussed it and decided to choose a temporary wooden bridge as the target of the raid.
Although the demons can fly across the river, a large amount of supplies still need to be transported by vehicles. The original bridge on the river was blown up when the war started. Now three sturdy wooden bridges have been built next to it, and the original bridge is under emergency repair.
The commando's mission is to take advantage of the night to destroy the bridge, and if there is a chance, it will destroy nearby material distribution centers, and at the same time conduct reconnaissance of the enemy situation along the road.
The battle determination on the southern line was quickly determined, and then the mission was handed over to the nearby 985th Division.
