Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 246

246. Chapter 246, what you said makes sense!

“General, is there any news about my aunt?”

The person who said this was Wang Jiarong.

The person who was called the general was Perbov.

Generally speaking, ‘Brigadier General’ is not recognized as a formal general sequence, and it is a transition between colonels and generals. Not to mention, Perbov’s rank of ‘Brigadier General’ comes from the planetary defense force’s own system, so the recognition is even lower.

But who made Wang Jiarong only rely on this brigadier general from her cousin’s command?

Perbov was also a little helpless.

The war was in full swing, and he had to answer a call from the starship every now and then. He was constantly asked the same thing, which did make him a little annoyed.

But he had to answer it.

He completely understood the anxious mood of Wang Jiarong, who was on the starship and was preparing to come down tomorrow to attend the Gu family meeting.

And at this moment, he did have a piece of news to tell Wang Jiarong.

“We have received news about Ms. Wang Qi.”

“Have you received my aunt?”

“Yes, but… there is good news and bad news.”

“Say it together!”

“We did successfully receive Ms. Wang Qi who evacuated the city. She is now under the protection of the army and is heading to our main position.”

“Great! What’s the bad news?”

“The bad news is… they were intercepted on their way back. They ran into the two Ranger-class Knight Titans that attacked us before and posed a great threat to our main position.”

“Hiss… then… this…” Wang Jiarong panicked.

The Ranger-class Knight Titan is not a true Titan, but a combat mecha in essence. Its body size has not yet reached seven meters, and it is still far behind the real Titan mechas called “God’s Machinery” of the Mechanicus.

In the sequence of the Mechanicus, Titan mechas have always been the top force.

Small ones are generally combat soldiers made by combining human body modification and mechanical modification;

medium-sized ones have Sentinel mechas as the entry level and Overlord-class Knight mechas as the peak;

large ones can be called Titan mechas.

At present, there should be no real Titan mecha in the Luman Kingdom, or in the entire Black Arrow Star. The highest is the Knight Mecha.

But even the Ranger Knight Mecha has a height of 6.2 meters. For ordinary people, it is an absolute behemoth. No wonder many people usually call it “Knight Titan”.

The normal price of a Ranger Knight Titan is 700,000 tax coins. Wang Jiarong, who is doing business, knows this very well.

Similarly, she has seen the army of the Angry Owl Star. The so-called mechanical synthesis brigade, the equipment level and so on are indeed good. But she can also estimate that such a brigade, more than 8,000 soldiers, including soldiers and various weapons and equipment, all add up to a total cost of less than 350,000 tax coins.

This means that the price of a Ranger Knight Titan is equivalent to two synthesis brigades.

Not to mention, the two Ranger Knight Titans will definitely not fight alone. The number of troops accompanying them will not be small, and there will definitely be a large number of sentinel mechas.

Such a force blocked my aunt’s way back…

Wang Jiarong’s current mood is not so desperate, but she is inevitably nervous.

“General Perbov, please rescue my aunt!”

Perbov said quickly: “Don’t worry about this. She is the mother of the governor. How dare we not be careful? I will send you a message as soon as I have news.”

“Please.”

After ending the call with Wang Jiarong, who was actually far away and floating in the galaxy space, Perbov hung up the phone and found his old partner.

Like him, Colonel Jordan Leroy, who was from the Wind Extinguishing Brigade and served as the political commissar of the 1st Wind Extinguishing Brigade, was transferred to the expeditionary force with Perbov and served as the political commissar of the expeditionary force.

After finding his old friend, Perbov said: “Now you can always agree to attack again! If Ms. Wang Qi has any problems on the way back, all of us will die here!”

Leroy sighed.

Other political commissars spend their days thinking about how to boost morale and how to make soldiers and officers fight fearlessly, preferably without retreating a single step in the battle, and fight to the death.

But he has to do all day to hold their former brigade commander and current army commander, asking him not to be so reckless and to think twice before doing anything…

This difference sometimes always makes Leroy sigh.

Facing his old partner, Colonel Leroy said, “Let me correct you. I never stopped you from taking the initiative. You are the army commander, and you are the supreme commander of the battle. What I stopped was your rash actions and your failure to gather enough intelligence and think clearly before making decisions…”

“Okay, okay…” said Perbov, who had a headache when he heard him muttering, “I have thought it through clearly now, and we must take the initiative!”

Leroy nodded, “Okay, I agree.”

“The rest of the 37th and 38th Divisions must go up this time. Our armored forces must be assembled and used in a unified manner.”

Leroy nodded again, “Okay, I agree.”

“I will lead the team myself and carry out the main assault!”

“Okay, I… wait?!” Colonel Leroy, who almost said it fluently, stopped talking and almost bit his tongue, “You want to lead the team yourself? Why? As an army commander, why don’t you stay in the main position and guard it? Why are you following the assault troops to charge?”

“Come on, the 37th and 38th Armored Divisions have all been dispatched. Only the 34th Division will be left at the main position. Which one do you think is the main force? As the commander of the army, I must put my troops where the main force is!”

After a pause, he continued, “What’s more, the task of rescuing the Governor’s mother is more important. When I’m here, I can make decisions immediately without passing messages back and forth. When I’m here, I can also boost the morale of the entire army at any time and let them know that the generals of the Alliance are never lacking in blood and fight on the same line with the front-line officers!”

Leroy frowned tightly.

He actually felt that what Perbov said… made sense?

He hesitated and said, “Then we will go to command the commandos. What about the main position? The 34th Division will have to face the enemy’s main attack independently, and the pressure will be great.”

“So.” Perbov stared at his old partner, “You have to stay.”

“Ah?”

“Only if you stay and guard the main position can I fight with confidence!”

“What you said makes a lot of sense!”

…

That was the deal. Perbov was a man of swift action.

The troops that needed to be assembled quickly assembled.

It was not easy.

At this moment, their so-called main position was just a small town.

A few days ago, when they just got off the starship, they hid in a pile of centralized boxes and came to the local area as “goods”.

When the “time” was ripe, they broke out and went to a residential area that the Gu family’s local forces had already arranged.

The people here were emptied, and their 30,000 people used this place as a residence.

At that time, they could only bring some light weapons with them. The other heavy firepower, whether it was artillery, armored vehicles or tanks, was still piled up in containers as goods.

Still, the weapons and equipment were piled up not far from their “barracks”.

In this case, Perbov and Leroy never dared to regard this action as a trip. The guards and warehouse managers at the container stacking area were all replaced by their own people.

In addition, they did not really stay in the residential area honestly. All the reconnaissance squads and companies of each unit were released.

Whether they were mixed in the town or even “wandering” outside the town, the control area must be large.

Anyway, for this operation, they also had clear communication with the Gu family: Are you afraid of being exposed?

They clearly said that they were not afraid. Anyway, 30,000 people with heavy firepower could not be hidden. The reason why they had to hide was to save face for everyone. In

this case, safety must be the top priority, even if it would be conspicuous.

The caution of the two military commanders, Perbov and Leroy, achieved miraculous results in the subsequent incidents.

When they noticed that a strange army was approaching, even if the other party had not shown hostility, they had already sounded the first-level mobilization. The soldiers who were already on guard quickly went to their combat posts.

The sentinels in front also intercepted the strange army ten kilometers away from the town. No matter what reasons or statements the other party used, they would never let the people go.

That strange army really had no good intentions. After they could not enter the town after much persuasion, they opened fire first.

The expeditionary army of the Angry Owl Star was not going to tolerate this.

The reconnaissance squad and the reconnaissance platoon were the first to engage in fire with the enemy. Even though they only had light weapons in their hands for a while, and there were many flexible and powerful armored forces such as sentinel mechas in the enemy army, they were not afraid.

Under their layers of obstruction, the army of the Kingdom of Luman made slow progress.

And for those people of the Kingdom of Luman, the more terrifying thing was that they were the ones who took the initiative to attack, but when the battle started, it was the artillery of the Alliance Expeditionary Army that opened fire first.

The power of the 155 howitzer was enough to destroy a sentinel mecha with one shot. The three divisions of the Alliance brought nearly 350 heavy artillery. After three rounds of rapid fire, the Kingdom army, which was actively attacking and had no bunkers or fortifications, suffered heavy losses immediately.

The first wave of failed raids made the army of the Kingdom of Luman lose their armor and weapons.

Then, the 30,000 people of the Alliance Expeditionary Force quickly occupied the entire town and began to set up battle lines at all entrances and exits and all directions of the town.

When the army of the Kingdom of Luman organized the second round of attack and approached cautiously, the target they were going to attack did not look like a guest army at all!

——Where is the guest army that turned the entire ordinary suburban town into a military fortress in half a day?

Barricades, high points of occupied houses, windows of houses… all these things have become favorable terrain for the defenders. Moreover, in the city, the artillery of the Alliance dispersed its positions, but it was able to ensure that the firepower was concentrated on any external point. What

‘s more embarrassing is that the artillery of the Kingdom Legion… is not as powerful as that of the Alliance.

Not only is it not as powerful, but its range is also not as good. When they urged cattle, horses and other livestock to pull the artillery up, they had just fired two rounds in, and the artillery of the Alliance Expeditionary Force quickly calculated their position, and the counter-artillery almost destroyed their artillery in one round.

The artillery of the Kingdom Army… was far inferior. The second wave of artillery took a long time to calculate the position of the Alliance’s artillery position, and then found that the position was so far away, so they could only quietly push the artillery position forward, but they were inexplicably discovered on the road, and another round of artillery attack came down, and they were finished without firing a single shot…

Lacking the support of heavy firepower, even if the army of the Kingdom of Luman had sentinel mechas to support them, they could not attack the hedgehog-like town at all.

Not to mention the threat of the Alliance artillery to them, after getting in, the mortars and individual rocket launchers on the Alliance’s defensive positions were all threats to the sentinel mechas.

The second and third rounds of attacks were all defeated.

It was not until the Kingdom of Luman took out the absolute killer weapon, the Knight Titan, that the situation changed.

This thing is really fierce.

The two Knight Titans have a long range. Outside the range of dozens of kilometers, where artillery cannot reach, they fired dozens of rockets into the town.

The effect is good.

After firing three rounds in a row, they reloaded their ammunition and began to move forward on foot.

The Sentinel mecha followed closely, and the infantry cannon fodder was a little further ahead. The two Knight Titans fired suppressive rockets into the town, and when they were about 15 kilometers away, the rapid-fire cannons and laser cannons they were equipped with began to show their power.

House after house was blown away and destroyed, and the Alliance Expeditionary Force did suffer a lot of casualties.

The Knight Titan, which cost 700,000 tax coins per unit and cost as much as two synthetic divisions, lived up to its reputation.

But the attack of the Luman Kingdom was still repelled.

At a distance of 15 kilometers, the Alliance artillery, which had been somewhat silent before, showed its power again.

This surprised the great nobles of the Luman Kingdom who controlled the two Knight Titans: the rounds of long-range rockets they fired before were aimed at the artillery positions of the expeditionary force that had been calculated before.

They had walked smoothly for the previous five kilometers and had not encountered any counterattacks from the Alliance artillery. They thought that the Alliance artillery was finished.

But at this time, the expeditionary army told them clearly: the artillery unit was not only not finished, but also maintained a strong combat power!

In half a minute, the expeditionary army’s 300 artillery pieces fired four rounds of rapid fire and threw thousands of 155 heavy howitzers.

The Luman Kingdom Army was repelled again.
