Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1756 Tactics
The deployment of the Lianshan aircraft carrier was also included in the options available to the royal army. This meant that this operation was more complex than before. In addition to coordinating air and ground firepower, it also required the deployment of space-based weapons.

This is why the purge of the Roman army was carried out by the Imperial Guard. Essentially, the Imperial Guard could be considered the court's air force—it's not listed separately because both the army and navy have large air forces, both the army and the Imperial Guard have their own fleets, and the Imperial Guard, like the navy, also has a large ground combat force.

However, among the three branches of the armed forces, only the Imperial Guard's combat operations were centered on air power. The Imperial Guard's combat missions also relied on the premise of "air support." When the army called for artillery fire, the Imperial Guard would typically respond by launching forward attack aircraft from field airfields.

“I’ve already explained this on the tactical terminal,” Shangluo explained. “The targets you’ve identified this time are mainly to guide the air force’s attacks. Then, the more difficult part is identifying the value of the targets and planning the necessary weapons, which is also within your responsibilities.”

Once they place the order, the air force will then equip the aircraft accordingly and assign tasks to each pilot, completing a cycle of observation, judgment, decision-making, and action.

This is a very important and highly specialized task.

"I have faith in your tactical skills. And I hope you won't let me down this time."

That's the truth. Shangluo brought them out hoping they would leverage their efficiency to help the royal army overcome obstacles and achieve their goals efficiently.

This was the first operation, and Shangluo's plan was rather conservative. This work was actually carried out by the Imperial Guard infantry, but Shangluo assigned them a more complex task—after all, they had 365x speed, so Shangluo directly assigned them a regiment's worth of reconnaissance duties.

Once they are transported to the vicinity of the battlefield, they will not need any vehicles or supplies; they can get there on foot.

"Understood!" they shouted in unison.

"Furthermore, there's something I still want to say—when I talk to you about the Royal Army's tactics, I not only hope that you can fight like the Royal Army, but also that you cherish your lives like the Royal Army."

These commandos were selected from the lower realms; they were the best of the best, and each of them was the hope of that little world.

Although Shangluo had committed them to the battle, he didn't want them to simply die here, as that would have a negative impact—after all, if even the best warriors suffered heavy casualties, it would affect their morale.

Ideally, they should come out happily, returning home with medals and red flowers. If this proves effective, Shangluo plans to organize even more troops to serve as auxiliary forces for the royal army.

The Herian Stormtroopers set off, and the Romans faced an unprecedented test.

Shangluo picked up his watch. The time was 13:11 PM.
At 13:52 PM, the operation officially began. Outside Cairo, in a desert position, the tanks transporting them stopped outside the enemy's lines, and their operation officially commenced.

Shangluo observed all of this from the perspective of the Lianshan ship—

The Herian Storm Assault Team is taking action! [Flash]

They moved through enemy lines at 365 times the speed. At a running speed of 5 kilometers per hour, their speed was equivalent to supersonic movement at Mach 1.5.

Supersonic phantoms darted across the battlefield. They hovered at the four corners of the Romans' line of sight, marked red circles on the tactical map, reported, and then immediately moved on to the next position to observe.

Information about the enemy's deployment flooded the command post like a tidal wave. From the enemy's command center, supply depots, and medical points, to the location of every machine gun, artillery piece, and even every box of grenades, everything was meticulously recorded. Their movements were so rapid, it was dizzying. Many Romans noticed the surroundings but failed to react. Shangluo, however, remained observant of their actions.

"Interesting. You saw it too, didn't you?"

"Yes." Apollonia nodded. "So, they were acting under pressure all along."

The operational logic of the Helian Storm Assault Team is that when they breathe pheromones, they accept the flow of time in this world, allowing them to travel at a normal speed. However, when they hold their breath and refuse to breathe pheromones, their speed increases to 365 times their original speed.

In other words, they were actually holding their breath when they used Flash.

This also conveniently shields Rome from a range of psychic detection devices, because not breathing leaves no trace that can be detected.

"Wow, are these guys all incredibly patient? Their manners are pretty good."

From Shangluo's perspective, they were all running while holding their breath. While running, they also recorded information, then reached a safe spot to catch their breath before running out of oxygen, then held their breath again and started recording again.

Just seven minutes later, they completed their reconnaissance of the entire position and then withdrew safely.

"Goodness gracious." Lu Huaiyang, who had received the tactical map, stood next to Shang Luo. "They even marked out the bunk locations?"

“Yes,” Shangluo nodded. “They seem to have considered that the bombing might start at night, so they marked everyone’s bunk. This way, they can mainly bomb the strongpoints during the day and bomb the places where they sleep at night.”

All the locations were reported, piling up in a large red box on the tactical map. All that remained was to wait for the units' firepower to be ready, and then the strike could be carried out. The planned strike was scheduled for 7 PM tonight, while they were having dinner.

Lu Huaiyang put down the map: "They did a great job. I didn't actually plan to send them."

"If they don't go, who usually does this job?"

“We usually send out skirmish units to carry out this task—for the Imperial Guard, it’s mainly North Korean skirmishers.”

The Imperial Guard also included a significant number of Korean troops. These were mainly selected from the Tiger-Shooting Soldiers of the Korean Imperial Guard, who were the personal guard of the Korean King. These men had undergone specialized special forces training and were highly skilled in carrying out such reconnaissance missions.

Because there are no communication problems, North Korean skirmishers are generally integrated into brigade-level units, with some skirmishers organized as battalions attached to brigade-level units. Commanding them only requires speaking Mandarin, and they have few requirements regarding supplies.

"Shangluo, you've really messed things up. The North Koreans are about to lose their jobs. Those in the lower realms want to compete with North Korea to see who is more loyal, right?"
