บท 235: 235 In Position

With the official request for deployment made, Max started to set the strategy, as interim operation leader.

"Fourth and Fifth Battalions, split into Companies and join with the Infantry forces. Second and Third Battalions, do the same and join with the Kepler Light Mecha groups. There should be six of each headed to the planet at regimental strength. One Super Heavy and a Company of Heavy Mecha each should set their minds at ease while they work.

I will take the First Battalion and spread our forces along the line between the Kepler staging area and the mountains, so we can guard the exit of any mecha needing to reload or get repairs at the main supply depot." Max ordered, spurring the other Battalion Commanders into action.
