At dusk.
The combined forces of Blueprint and Heng'an Defense have surrounded the entire defenders of Vick Town.
During the daytime battle, the captured soldiers were also urgently interrogated, especially some officers.
A large amount of scattered intelligence was also gathered into the attacking force.
The defense line of Vick Town is currently mainly on a high ground that is more than 230 meters high.
This is a half-demolished mine, which was once a mountain for mining stone.
Mining of this stone mountain was stopped many years ago when Blueprint and the Knights of Milda had a border conflict.
It then began to transform into an important transportation hub.
There are three railway lines below the town of Vic, which can transport supplies from the rear of the Milda Knights.
It can be said that most of the weapons and logistical supplies in the Dan'an area are transported by rail.
At this time, the railway station has been completely lost. Currently occupying it is a battalion of the 69th Brigade of the offensive force, plus part of the 1st Squadron, about twenty Dagger Guards.
The enemy's defense line was mainly built on the mountain, and there was only one road leading to the mountain.
This road was originally used to transport stones down the mountain. Later, it was used as a logistics hub, and the Knights of Milda also strengthened the road here.
This road leading up the mountain is a heavily guarded road. If this road is defended, the attacking armored forces will suffer huge casualties.
But there has never been a foolproof line of defense, let alone a half-bombed mountain like this.
This mountain is not very steep, and the mecha can rush up the mountain from other places.
At the same time, it's not just mechas, there are also infantry that can climb mountains and attack from other places.
Compared with armored vehicles, human infantry is the real all-terrain combat force.
Of course, the enemy also has defensive positions around the mountain, and even built permanent fortifications.
If infantry attack the mountains, they will definitely suffer a lot.
In the conference room at the foot of the mountain, projections of commanders at all levels of this battle appeared in the conference room.
There is a difference between fighting and normal times.
When officers and commanders hold a meeting, it is not necessary for all of them to be present at the venue. It would be a waste if they were hit by a heavy artillery or even a missile.
Therefore, holographic projection is generally used to conduct wartime meetings and communications through communications.
In the conference room, a holographic projection of a staff officer was describing the intelligence currently gathered.
"This is known through interrogation of prisoners and the summary of intelligence obtained by our own army."
"Currently, on the mountainside of Vick Town, there's still a reinforced howitzer battalion, a mecha hunting battalion, approximately four motorized infantry battalions, a mecha support squadron, and some remnants of soldiers who fled up the mountain. The total number of troops is approximately between 2,000 and 2,500!"
"According to intelligence received from the Aviation Department, yesterday's missile and fighter strike destroyed at least two enemy ammunition depots and one energy center!"
"Three mecha hangars were hit and damaged, and four heavy tank target garages were destroyed. The exact losses are currently unknown."
…
After the staff officer finished presenting the general intelligence, the commander of this mission, the commander of the 69th Brigade, Jin Ling, began to speak.
In the huge conference room, Li Xin's holographic projection is located at the very back.
However, being able to participate in military meetings in such a large-scale pre-war meeting is already an improvement.
Jin Ling said, "The enemy's combat forces have been destroyed by nearly half, or even more. This is our chance!"
"Taking over this important logistical hub in Vick Town means that we will be halfway through our strategic plan!"
"I have decided that after this meeting, we will officially begin the general offensive and capture the enemy's last position as quickly as possible!"
"The time to fight is urgent. The enemy's command system needs to be rebuilt, and support from the rear will take time to arrive. This is our best chance!"
"If you have any questions or suggestions, please raise them immediately!"
A senior staff officer asked, "Our armored vehicles have been on the offensive for so long, and we've been fighting continuously during the day. We've just had a break. The soldiers' physical strength and the armored vehicles are almost at their limit. Should we rest for a while?"
Another armored battalion commander said:
"The soldiers can still bear it, but the vehicles are really not doing well. After a 500-kilometer raid, even though they've been repaired, I roughly counted and found that at least half of the vehicles are experiencing various problems."
Jin Ling's face darkened, and he said, "I don't want you to find excuses with me here. I don't need any excuses right now. I just want to take over Vic Town!"
"If there are mechanical issues with the armored vehicles, repair them quickly. Send the troops in good condition first. Repair the vehicles with problems as quickly as possible and then join the battlefield!"
Jin Ling turned his gaze towards Jiang Lou and the others. "Regarding the mecha troops, I hope everyone will cooperate and begin the attack!"
Jiang Lou's holographic projection nodded and said, "No problem. We have received orders from the headquarters for this battle and will fully cooperate with the 69th Brigade!"
Because of the previous battle, Jiang Lou is now the temporary commander of three squadrons.
Jin Ling's holographic projection pointed at the holographic map in front of him and said, "This time, I plan to launch our attack from four directions!"
"At present, the enemy's communications in Vick Town have not yet been fully restored. We must seize this last opportunity!"
"First, we will attack the road leading to the mountain. This is the most heavily defended area by the enemy. I will dispatch two battalions of troops to conduct a feint attack here to draw the enemy's attention."
"Captain Jiang, you also need to deploy some of your mechas as a feint attack force!"
"Only in this way can we attract the enemy's heavy tanks and mecha troops!"
Jiang Lou's holographic projection nodded. "No problem, Captain of the First Squadron, you will lead the remaining mechas of the headquarters as a feint attack force!"
Ke Qian, the captain of the First Squadron, nodded: "Yes!"
Jin Ling continued, "For the other two attack directions, I suggest starting from the left and right wings and climbing the mountain. The mecha troops shouldn't have any trouble climbing such a mountain."
"I will dispatch a battalion of troops from each wing to follow your mechas in the mountain climbing operation!"
"Finally, I will also deploy two companies of troops behind the mountain and begin looking for opportunities from the rear!"
After completing the battle deployment of the mecha, Jin Ling continued:
"Before the battle begins, I will order the self-propelled howitzer company and the artillery units of each unit to begin firing smoke bombs and artillery bombardments at the town of Wick to cover this operation!"
