Vault 32

Chapter 183 Under the Smoke of Gunpowder

But this kind of guarantee is obviously too remote and too risky.Liszt's power can't get through the connection with Alaska, let alone the more distant Anchorage line of defense, and when his troops are only more than 100 people, they are exhausted in front of the fortifications built by the Soviets and Canadians. It has also shown his failure.

As a military port, Port of Prince Rupert is adjacent to the Anchorage line of defense in Alaska, and is almost within the strike range of the US Federal Air Force. It would be unthinkable if there were no troops stationed there.Even if Liszt defeated the troops in the port because of a sudden attack, so what, Liszt, who did not have enough troops, could not cause any effective damage to the port city at all.

What's more, for the number of troops, the Soviets or Canadians, who must be calculated in battalions, are also stationed in different port areas in batches.At that time, the troops surrounded separately will turn the blitz battle caused by high mobility into an urban street battle that is filled purely with the lives of soldiers and measured by a meat grinder!
Frowning slowly, Liszt let out a sigh of relief, looking at the neat military map laid out on the ground in front of him, the name of Prince Rupert Port is quite clear.But his gaze has also seen the Queen Charlotte Islands on the other side, and there is a bit of a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "But if we don't have the help of Alaska, the situation will become very bad."

He suddenly thought of Old Buner. If this old man with rich experience in commanding troops and the skillful skills of a politician, I am afraid that he will be a little distressed now.But Liszt narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the direction of the Anchorage defense line in Alaska, turned his head to look at Karl and frowned: "So, at this stage, should we give up contacting Anchorage?"

"Yes, our focus is in other directions."

Karl also nodded, pointed to a point on the military map, tapped twice slowly and said: "Prince Rupert is absolutely heavily guarded, and in the small towns around us, there are probably only some Canadian Army guards , Even because of the heavy snow blocking the mountains, some of the guards in these small towns will withdraw due to logistical reasons."

And looking at Liszt, he also glanced around at the Marine Corps squad leaders around him, and he also answered in detail to the command grassroots of these troops: "If we don't have the help of Alaska, then we will We must make another plan, and some small towns, that is our choice!"

All eyes were on the small towns Karl pointed out. Even on the map, the complex topographical environment was already quite bad.But everyone's eyes were somewhat clear, especially looking at the distances between those few small towns. After silently estimating in their hearts, they all nodded and said: "A feasible plan."

"Indeed, this plan can solve the dilemma of being locked down now."

Liszt also nodded silently. He was quite satisfied with Karl, a top student at the Military Academy.But his eyes still hesitated for a moment, and he scanned the position of Anchorage's defense line, and finally frowned and said, "Then we will choose these three small towns scattered in the mountains to replenish our supplies."

After all, it is a small town where Canadians live, and there are definitely a lot of daily necessities.After all, even if some food is seized, it can still make up for Liszt's points.Especially considering the war that will definitely break out between the two sides in the spring, it is also extremely important to hoard a large amount of food to alleviate the consumption of points.

But this is not absolute. In some respects, what Liszt refers to as materials is actually points.Especially those weak and timid Canadian Army, they are simply weak chickens who deliver food to Liszt.Even in front of those Canadians, this group of wolves-like Marine Corps boys will produce a one-sided war scene.

The huge number of points can completely bring more changes to Liszt's troops.Especially in the karst cave tunnel where they are now, it is also possible to continue to add a few firepower points, or to open a few anti-aircraft missile positions.After all, in a few months, almost all the marines with some engineering capabilities have their own set of guidelines for digging rocks and how to use detonators correctly.

"Captain Liszt, where should we choose?"

A small captain of the Marine Corps frowned slightly. His eyes were still looking at the three small towns on the military map. They were all built on gentler hillsides amidst the height difference of the Rocky Mountains.The town of Telos in the north, the town of Kitimat in the east, and the town of Hartbury in the southeast also look like tourist cities.

In fact, in the world of Liszt's previous life, after the clouds of the Cold War dissipated, Canada had also disarmed its army, leaving only the police force to maintain law and order.And this mountainous area of ​​the Rocky Mountains, as well as these small towns, have already been developed into resorts and tourist attractions, and have become a good place to make money.

Even the area where the karst cave base of Lister is located has already become a national park in Canada, a pristine area most deeply protected by the National Tourism Administration.But in this weird world where the Cold War has lasted for two centuries, not to mention the development of tourism, the most basic small town life has all declined due to the cloud of war and the fleeing residents.

Lister can think of those terrified Canadian residents who gradually fled to the safer south or east due to the military pressure of the US Federation and the Soviet Union. They threw all of them to the Rocky Mountains, which were already barren and not part of the economic center, to come to garrison The Canadian Forces even left the houses empty, a haven for wild animals.

"The town of Kitimat, that's it."

Taking a deep breath, Liszt finally determined their target, and when everyone looked at the point on the map, Liszt's hand was already gently placed on the marked name, with a tone of voice He also said seriously: "As long as the town of Kitimat is taken down, then we can also pose a huge threat to the downstream town of Hatbury!"

Thinking slightly, he turned his head and looked at the few Marines behind him. Liszt also nodded slowly, as if talking to himself: "If we don't have enough numbers, then I'll go to the bottom of the boat. Recruit a group of people!"
