Chapter 345: Strategy and Tactics of the Small People (6)
The French government was astonished when they dug a 1,300 km long and 40 m wide moat in one night.
If you hadn’t seen the incredible construction capabilities that were tearing down Paris landmarks from the ground up, you probably would never have believed it.
Not only French public opinion, but also world opinion at first did not believe this fact.
Since the whole of France was a battlefield, civilian reporting was very limited, so the idea that such a ditch could be dug in a single day was not credible.
“Does it make sense to dig a hole like that in one day?”
“Does it make sense to tear down a Paris landmark and load it onto a barge in one day?”
“There’s no evidence that he did that in one day, no evidence!”
“Look at the date when France abandoned Paris and was defeated, and the date when the landmark shipping footage was released. It’s not something you can lie about even if you want to.”
“It doesn’t make sense to do such a large-scale project in one day. There must be some trickery involved.”
“Oh, really? So you’re saying that France had already packed the landmarks a few years ago so that they could take them with them before they escaped Paris?”
“That’s because you keep talking nonsense! It’s impossible to accomplish such a large project in one day! Why do you keep insisting that the impossible is true?”
Digging a 1,300 km long moat in one night is completely beyond common sense.
Because of this, many people believed some falsehood or something.
The rebuttal to that was also formidable.
– Think about how the construction company Suyeong cleared the Taklamakan sands. Have you forgotten that in a matter of days, they cleared away sand that was piled 4 to 5 meters deep over 270,000 square kilometers of land?
– Anything is possible if you use a gravity control device. It is certain that the swimming group has put into practice a gravity control device, or an anti-gravity device.
-Goliath is the strongest evidence. It is said that the output of the joint parts that went into Goliath is not enough to support even the weight of Goliath itself. But what is the performance that Goliath shows in Neom City?
-Goliath moves objects weighing over tens of tons without the help of a crane, as if an adult were moving small furniture. This cannot be explained without a gravity control device.
-Ha Su-yeong’s line will also definitely be built up using the same force.
A lot of people poured in inquiries.
The question was whether Rohan had really developed an anti-gravity device.
But as always, the swimming group did not give the world the answer it wanted and continued to ignore it.
* * *
First, Ha Su-yeong dug a deep moat 40 meters wide.
The excavated rocks and soil were then used to build a high mound inside, which was then compacted and tamped down.
The Goliaths exerted tremendous gravity during this process, compacting the rocks, gravel, sand, and ? very densely.
The hill thus created was about 5 meters high.
Here, construction began again on a 1,300 km long reinforced concrete wall.
Because they had not yet secured sufficient quantities of reinforced concrete, the concrete walls were barely finished with the foundation work.
However, because of the 40-meter-wide moat and the 5-meter-high hill built with the dirt dug out of the moat, it feels like an impassable Wailing Wall when viewed from the other side.
The search party, who had risked their lives to scout out the Ha Su-yeong Line, trembled in fear at the sight of the massive Goliath and made the sign of the cross.
“Oh, my God. Are you really abandoning our France… … .”
“In one night, they dug such a long and large moat and built such a hill. Is the Republic of Korea really full of people who made deals with Satan?”
The French soldiers were more afraid of the Korean army’s engineering skills than its mercenary skills.
The difference in weapon power didn’t really bother me, but the majesty of building a moat and erecting a concrete wall in such a short period of time took my breath away with despair.
“You can’t win. You absolutely can’t win.”
“It wasn’t a lie that the sands of the Taklamakan Desert were instantly wiped out.”
“What happens to us when the sewage treatment plant is completed? Do we have to get permission from neighboring countries every time we go abroad? What about the sea?”
If the border is established as it is now, France will inevitably become a landlocked country.
In order to go abroad, you are forced to pass through the airspace and territory of neighboring countries.
The French military was begging and pestering China.
“We must neutralize that defense line before it is completed! Show the might of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force!”
“Let’s try to come up with a real and rational strategy.”
The Chinese generals worked hard to placate the French military while also racking their brains.
“The reason we have been able to win every game so far is because we have fought aerial battles based on mobility and hit-and-run.”
“A pure weight class fight over a fixed target is disadvantageous to us.”
The railgun tactical aircraft already demonstrated by the Korean military is, without a doubt, the strongest aerial fortress.
However, because it was a propeller aircraft, it had an inherent weakness in that it could not exceed 1,000 km/h. From a fighter jet’s perspective, it was enough as long as they did not give up their distance.
“If a railgun tactical aircraft is guarding the area around the sewer line, it can never be destroyed by missiles.”
“It is estimated that each railgun tactical machine can carry at least 100,000 rounds?”
“Even if we intercept the missile by firing more than 1,000 rounds, the ratio of engagement is too unfavorable for our People’s Liberation Army.”
Missiles are very expensive, and railgun shells are very cheap.
If the railgun tactician is determined and defends, it would be costly to fire missiles at it.
“We have to wait until the army arrives. This can be solved with cheap ammunition, missiles are too costly.”
The Chinese Air Force is already operating nonstop on battlefields thousands of kilometers away. Even if you just sit still, money is leaking out every day.
Fifth-generation fighters always had to be accompanied by an aerial refueling tanker when taking off from China and arriving at France.
The Chinese Air Force is currently bleeding heavily just from the fuel costs of going back and forth to fight the Korean military. Every day, I gasp for breath as I look at my fuel bill.
“At this rate, we will use up all the fuel our military has just to travel back and forth to France.”
Even now that the Army had arrived, huge amounts of oil were leaking out again to maintain the Army’s supply lines.
“No matter how strong an arrow is, if it is fired from a thousand miles away, it will lose all its power by the time it reaches its target, and it will not be able to pierce even a thin piece of silk. This is the principle of military affairs. If we do not end this war within a month after the arrival of the Army, our People’s Liberation Army will suffer catastrophic damage.”
Chinese commanders were extremely worried because their supply lines were thousands of kilometers long and even crossed foreign countries several times.
“I see the solution in one breath!”
Finally, when the army reached several dozen kilometers from the Haeundae Beach, China decided to launch a large-scale artillery bombardment operation.
The Air Force took off first in the middle of the night, drawing a lot of attention.
“Railgun tactical plane caught on radar! No enemy fighters visible!j
“No matter how good the railgun tactic is for area defense, isn’t it too arrogant to not show up at all during an air strike?”
“No, I think it’s because the Korean military suffered too many cumulative fighter losses in the last air battle. They don’t have any fighters to deploy.”
“Ah, I understand. So all the fighters they brought to France were shot down.”
“If you think about it, isn’t their supply line longer than ours and aren’t they at a disadvantage?”
“But they have an unsinkable aircraft carrier called Ireland. We’ve been winning in the air, but we shouldn’t take it lightly.”
“Huh, how long would a poor, small country be able to last if it were to enter into a protracted war?”
The airstrike was merely a decoy to bring out the railgun tactician.
The real ones were self-propelled guns and towed artillery lined up by the army.
Over a thousand cannons fired shells nonstop toward the under-construction Ha Su-yeong ship.
Rather than dispersing their fire, the Chinese command concentrated their firepower into three main points.
Quagmire! Quagmire!
Fireworks burst ceaselessly in the air, and a loud roar chased away the darkness.
From the beasts’ point of view, it was just a bolt from the blue.
“The bombardment is successful! The railgun tacticians are not intercepting all the shells! Our shells are hitting the lower deck!”
Infrared imaging confirmed that multiple shells successfully landed on the submarine and exploded.
The anxious Chinese commanders clenched their fists and rejoiced at their tactical superiority.
“Don’t let your guard down. Since your position has been revealed by artillery fire, you must evade their counterattack. Keep shooting and retreating to create confusion!”
Artillery is immediately hit by enemy counterattacks if its position is exposed, so it must fire, hide, move, and fire again.
“No enemy artillery fire has been confirmed! We are not firing yet!”
“You must not know the location of our artillery, right? Why?”
“Isn’t it because we didn’t bring enough self-propelled guns?
“The Korean Army gave all of its equipment to Ireland during the Irish War. They are very proud of their unmanned self-propelled guns, but they will still be insufficient to be deployed on the French front.”
“Okay. Let’s quickly take down that damned defense line and rush the ground forces.”
The Chinese field commander slammed his fist on the war table and shouted.
“2 days! We’ll chase them all the way to the Mediterranean in 2 days!”
* * *
After a night-long artillery barrage, the Chinese army finally managed to break through one of the lines of advance.
It was a point where ground forces could advance sufficiently because the moat had not yet filled with water.
The ground forces quickly broke through the advance route and advanced south.
“We will reclaim Marseille like this! We will make Marseille our base port!”
“Glory to His Majesty the Great Commentary!”
“It seems like they really don’t have any ground troops to spare.”
“What kind of level is France, which is busy being defeated by this rabble?”
There were occasional air strikes, but they were easily dealt with by anti-aircraft missiles.
The enemy pilots were unable to properly escape and their burning aircraft exploded.
“The Air Force seasoned it just right. They said it was for us to eat. Hahaha!”
So the Chinese army joyfully and relentlessly advanced to liberate Marseille.
Thus, they began a large-scale bombardment operation against the Ha Su-yeong Line and were finally able to arrive at the port of Marseille the next day.
“Why hasn’t that great railgun tactician been seen yet?”
“I guess they used up all their ammunition trying to intercept the shells. In fact, even if you say 100,000 rounds, it’s not even enough for a few railgun tactical aircraft. Wouldn’t that be enough to drop them in an instant?”
The Korean army had withdrawn from the city of Cannes all the way to Marseille.
The commander received reports that the ‘defeatist army’ was gathered in Montpellier, a port city 120km west of Marseille.
“You worked hard last night. Get some rest while maintaining a good cover and vigilance.”
“yes!”
In the field, soldiers can rest, but officers have no time to do so.
The field command, which was frantically holding tactical meetings for the next operation, received a shocking report just hours after entering Marseille.
“The enemy is attacking the sewer line breakthrough point and interfering with the construction of the pontoon bridge!”
“What? Our Air Force?”
“We can’t provide proper support because the railgun tactician has appeared at that point and is interfering with it! Our supply line is isolated!”
The commander came to his senses.
“How much gas do we have left now?”
