Chapter 161 High-Altitude Entry Operation - D1

"So... that's why you dressed like this?"

In today's America, simple suits and work clothes have long replaced the various styles of clothing of the past, and minimalist style has begun to influence people's aesthetics.

Alice's witch outfit was designed by a seasoned tailor, highlighting the girl's slender waist and subtle curves. Alice held a staff, and in front of her was the DC-2, the most advanced transport aircraft in Amelanxis, one of the first mass-produced passenger and cargo aircraft manufactured by the Amelanxis Northwest Aircraft Manufacturing Group - Trian Large Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

The roar of the airplane engines and Alice's witch dress, adorned with openwork lace and ruffles, created a cross-generational contrast. Fortunately, the dress was not long, so Raphis didn't need to help her lift it up. The group boarded the plane. Early passenger planes did not have soundproofing equipment in the cabin, with only a thin metal shell for protection. However, the appearance of the DC-2 still proved that air travel could be comfortable and enjoyable.

Believe it or not~

Today, only the southeastern part of Amelia remains in the territory. After the disintegration of the originally independent Kingdom of Burgundy, the eastern war zone became the Czech Republic and the Slovakia region. Now, only the Slovakia region still has enemy troops stationed there. Under the influence of the situation in De Horan, the rebellion that broke out in the southern part of the Balkan Empire forced the Balkan Empire to send its front-line troops back home to quell the rebellion. The interventionist forces, which were already retreating step by step, are now even more vulnerable.

Upon seeing this, General Smedley ordered the Southern Theater to make arrangements to encircle and annihilate the remaining enemy forces in the Slovak region, namely the Balkan Empire's 3rd Army. This was the first modernized army in the Balkan Empire's new army sequence, equipped with breech-loading rifles and artillery, and its artillery units were equipped with mules and horses.

The troops besieging them were the 16th Group Army of the Southern Theater Command, which consisted of four divisions, one of which was motorized and another was partially mechanized. The supporting units included the 45th Army Aviation Transport Regiment and the 15th Air Tactical Wing. The local transportation conditions were not good, and the roads were basically unpaved.

Alice has now fully adapted to skirts and women's clothing. She flips through the war report, her legs, encased in black stockings, are pressed together. The plane takes off, heading towards the Provence region, passing through the Czech Republic, and finally landing at a field airfield outside Bratislava in the Slovak region.

This wasn't the first time the president had entered the battlefield. Throughout the entire unification war in Amerlane, Alice had served as an important campaign commander and combat force. However, after becoming president, the nature of warfare became increasingly modernized, and her busy official duties made it difficult for her to return to the battlefield.

But now, the last piece of land in the country needs to be reclaimed. The Czech and Slovak regions have been the land of the unified Red Empire since ancient times, and the Federal Republic of Emelianencia, which inherited it, must naturally reclaim its own land as well.

The Slovakian region is home to a diverse mix of people. As it is the easternmost part of the land of demons, it is naturally a melting pot of various races, including demons, dwarves, elves, sand people, and orcs.

"Your Excellency the President, I salute you!"

A squad of soldiers stood at attention and saluted on both sides of the plane. Alice nodded, and Major General Robert Hale Merrymann, Commander-in-Chief of the 16th Army of the Slovak Front in the Eastern Theater of Amelan, extended his hand to Alice.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss President."

Alice's name had long been a symbol in the military. As the founder of the Amerlane Army, Alice was known in uniform for her far-sighted vision and unwavering spirit. She advocated using modern weaponry and tactics to efficiently eliminate the enemy, and emphasized that soldiers and officers should have strong will and physical strength and give full play to their initiative.

An iron will and an iron will—neither can be lacking; this is the spirit she embodied in the military.

"Major General Robert."

A convoy of Willys Jeeps, KCCWs, and half-tracks took Alice to the city government headquarters. The city was now under military control, with military trucks and artillery everywhere on the streets. Anti-aircraft guns and lookout posts were set up high, and several metal listening devices were pointed into the air.

"Your Excellency, the current situation is as follows..."

Overall, the Amerlani army had encircled the enemy on three sides. The enemy put up a fierce resistance in Trnava, where there are many rivers and bridges, but most of them cannot support Sherman tanks.

Mechanized troops are not easy to move around, while enemy troops composed purely of infantry, even if surrounded, can escape at any time, and the Slovak region is mountainous.

A light infantry unit would be the best option, but the enemy would definitely try to break through at all costs, and the light infantry would lack sufficient firepower.

"It's alright, General. We'll just go and raid the Aerospace Force's special forces, hmm!"

The 45th Independent Special Operations Brigade landed in the afternoon aboard their DC-3 transport planes. The 45th Independent Special Operations Brigade in Amelansi belongs to the newly formed airborne forces and is also under the jurisdiction of the Aerospace Forces. It is the first unit in the Amelansi military, apart from the T1 Special Forces, to be equipped with FN FAL automatic rifles, MG3 general-purpose machine guns, and RPG-2 81mm mortars.

At the same time, they were also the first unit capable of carrying out parachute missions.

"Miss President, this is Bravo Casa reporting."

Alice nodded, looking at the fully armed brigade commander, Bravo Casa. Unlike other units, the 45th Independent Special Operations Brigade was equipped with Flora camouflage. As their weapon was the FAL rifle with a folding stock, their gear was changed to Morpeh vests, and their helmets were changed from the regular M35 to the M36 paratrooper helmet, although most people didn't like wearing helmets.

Each person was equipped with a PRC-152 radio and goggles. They had each trained for three weeks at the Hessian Air Force Training Base in airborne operations and had performed no fewer than twenty parachute jumps.

The 43rd Air Transport Regiment of the Amelan West Aerospace Force, which transported them, was equipped with 28 DC-3 transport aircraft, which were extended versions of the DC-2 transport aircraft that Alice was traveling on. These transport aircraft had been modified for airborne operations and equipped with parachute rope frames and other parachute equipment.

In short, it is an elite professional paratrooper unit, and Alice will lead this unit in the operation to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
