The scorching sun scorched the earth, as if it was about to evaporate the last trace of moisture on the soil.
Unable to stand the scorching sun, the prostrate claws of death drooped their heads and snorted listlessly.
"laugh--"
Living in the River Valley Province, it obviously cannot adapt to the climate of the Luoxia Province. 2 However, after all, it is an organism standing at the top of the food chain. Its super adaptability to the environment will only make it feel uncomfortable at most, but it will not make it uncomfortable.
Go down.5
I paddled the edge of the water and patted its head gently.
"Be good, just go to the oasis."
There are only two hundred kilometers left from Oasis No. 3.
As Section 1 of the G40 defense line was penetrated by the Skeleton Corps, the Alliance Army has penetrated three corps to the rear of the G40 defense line with a total of more than 6,000 troops.
It wasn't until a thousand-man team was defeated that the legion finally came to their senses. Just ten minutes ago, a hundred-man artillery team 20 kilometers away was belatedly heading towards position G40-1.
Delivered area firepower, pouring at least two hundred artillery shells.
For a legion that was short of supplies, these two hundred artillery shells were already quite a big deal.
However, the alliance did not stay at the narrow gap of G40-1 for too long. This round of shelling was completely lonely.
The current location of the Death Corps is to the right of the Skeleton Corps.
According to the plan, their original goal was to go northeast to the rear of Defense Area 41, use the mobility of the Wolf Cavalry to quickly expand the gap in the Legion's defense line, and cooperate with the Lion Kingdom Army occupying Position 40 to annihilate the Legion's 40,000 people
The vitality of the team.
But now, the situation has changed.
The enemy's preparations were even less adequate than imagined, and the 40th Thousand Man Corps was defeated before it could hold out for even an hour.
Annihilating the enemy's effective forces is no longer a top priority. The alliance can take advantage of this opportunity to expand its results and further eliminate the "division-level command post" at the higher level!
The so-called division-level command post, that is, the command post of a 10,000-man team, is the highest-level command post on the front line.
The next level up is the army headquarters, which is where Griffin is.
It is not realistic to directly push it to the army headquarters, but the division-level command post is still conceivable.
As long as we capture that area, all defense lines in sections G40~49 will fall into chaos.
Without the dispatch of the command system, effective mutual support between the Thousand-Man Team and the Thousand-Man Team will be unable to form, and a solid defense zone will be instantly divided into isolated islands.
Even if all of these Wilant officers were superhuman, they would only be wiped out.
It is precisely because of this that the other party will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.
According to the information provided by Pangolin, the legion's 10,000-person command post is usually equipped with an infantry team of 1,000 people, as well as an artillery team of 100 people, communications, engineers, sergeants, and transportation teams. The total strength is between 1,500 and 2,000.
between.
The distance to the front line is usually between 100 kilometers and 200 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, the strategic depth of 150 kilometers will take two days if it is slow, and one day if it is fast.
But this is only usually the case.
The Legion probably never imagined that the Alliance not only tamed the Death Claws, but even used the Death Claws' characteristics to train an established cavalry unit.
Tanks and trucks rely on smooth roads.
But the animals don't need it.
He walked around his mount and paddled to the front of the team, looking at the more than 3,000 brothers waiting in line at the foot of the mountain.
More than 30% of them are newbies.
However, after half a month of "suicide training", even the latest newcomer to join the corps has become a qualified soldier.
There is no doubt about their fighting ability!
After looking around at the brothers present, he turned on the communication system and spoke loudly.
"There is news from the headquarters that Plan No. 3 is progressing smoothly! The Burning Corps has not landed yet, and the enemy has already raised the white flag!"
"In less than an hour, we achieved victory in the first phase of the operation!" Upon hearing that the battle was going so smoothly, all the players thought -
laugh.
Especially new people.
After being tortured by "pangolins" for half a month, most newcomers were nervous when they first entered the battlefield, fearing that they might not do something well and hold everyone back.
As a result, the enemy was not even seen, and the first stage of the battle was already won.
This is no wasteland. It’s too post-modern!
The debtor standing at the front of the team looked at the construction site boy and Brick aside, and lowered his voice and made a joke.
"The Goblin Corps has such a great time fishing for people's heads, I bet that Lao Bai and the others must be here
You’re scolding me.”
"Hahaha!" The boy at the construction site and Brick couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Edge of Water glanced at the two guys, ignored them, and continued in a loud voice.
"In order to consolidate the results of the battle, the command headquarters ordered the Skeleton Corps to continue to advance and target the enemy's division-level command post!"
"At the same time, our mission here has also been adjusted. The originally scheduled operation has been cancelled. The miscellaneous soldiers in Defense Area 41 can be left to our friendly forces to deal with. The new mission assigned to us by the headquarters is to continue to move forward and advance to 100
Heights 330, fifty kilometers away!”
"That's the incisor of the 40,000th Corps command post! If we pull it out, we can stuff the tank's barrel into the enemy's mouth!"
The boy and Brick at the construction site laughed and shouted.
"Sir! How many people are there?"
The drum washing machine also smiled and followed suit.
"Is it enough for each of our brothers to share one head?"
He stroked the water with a hearty smile.
"That is probably not enough. According to aerial images, there is an anti-aircraft artillery position on the top of the mountain, and the deployed force is expected to be only a hundred-man team."
The boy at the construction site clicked his tongue with Brick.
"Only one company."
"Even if there is only one company, we must not underestimate the enemy!" Bing Huaishui said seriously, "Our enemies are not weak. They have obviously seen through our plan. At least four thousand-man troops are advancing from the front line along the road network.
Transfer to the rear.”
"If they want to intercept the advancing Skeleton Corps, Hill 330 is their best choice. Therefore, we must seize it before the enemy and cover the brothers of the Skeleton Corps through this last pass!"
As he spoke, he grinned at the edge of his mouth.
"The deadline given to us by the headquarters is twenty-four hours, but I feel that this deadline does not take our brothers' legs and feet into consideration!"
For some reason, the boy and Brick at the construction site suddenly couldn't help but get excited and muttered to themselves.
"I always have an ominous premonition."
As if to match his premonition.
Brother Bian's next sentence confirmed his suspicion.
"Five hundred wolf cavalrymen and five hundred brothers will set off with me first! Walk along a straight line
Insert into the enemy's heartland and try to reach the destination before midnight!"
"The rest of the people are following the brother at the construction site, and transportation is limited... It's up to the strength department brothers to work hard!"
Having said that, before all the strength players came to their senses, he waved his hand and gave an order with great momentum.
"action!"
As Bing Shui's name was called in the communication channel, five hundred-man teams composed of agility players quickly came out and sat on the death claws of their teammates.
He moved quickly, as if he was afraid that his hands would be slow.
"Brother, let's take a step first!" The big-eyed debtor chuckled and patted the construction site manager on the shoulder, riding on the back of the edge paddler.
Looking at the cloud of dust disappearing into the distance, and then looking at the more than two thousand brothers and hundreds of bicycles and three-wheelers left behind, the construction site boy and Brick looked dumbfounded.
It took him a while before he could hold back a single word from his mouth.
"Blank!"
This guy.
You really don’t treat your brothers as outsiders.
No, it should be inappropriate!
I don’t know which version started, but everyone has been using the strength system as a beast. And the intelligence system, the younger brother of the original version, seems to be less useless with the emergence of a large number of neural connection equipment.
Thinking of this, the construction site manager couldn't help clenching his fists.
Damn it!
When will the power system stand up!
Mengxin, who was holding the Xia shotgun, knew nothing about what was about to happen. He walked forward excitedly, looked at the construction site and asked the old man excitedly.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
Seeing this, the other newcomers also chirped excitedly and asked, "Shall we intersect too?"
"How to insert?"
The boy at the construction site and Brick cursed and got on a three-wheeler and pedaled hard.
"boarding!"
Oasis No. 3, Legion Headquarters.
After hearing the information sent from the front line, Griffin was stunned for a full minute, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.
The news that position G40-1 had been breached by the alliance reached him almost at the same time as the news of the defeat of the 40th Thousand Soldiers.
If he hadn't known that the officers of the 40th Thousand Troops were all Weirants, he wouldn't even have been able to help but start to wonder if there was a mole.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why these idiots couldn't last even an hour. Seeing that General Griffin didn't speak, the adjutant standing aside swallowed and continued.
"According to the report of the 40,000th Team, the Alliance deployed the Heart of Steel in the battle and concentrated almost all armored units..."
"At the moment, it seems that it is not a test. They are planning to fight us to the death."
Upon hearing these words, Griffin's face became even more gloomy, like a dark cloud brewing a storm, as if it could drip water.
Originally, according to his plan, the ultimatum would buy him at least a month. Unexpectedly, the alliance launched a full-scale offensive in just half a month.
This not only means that the entire battle will quickly turn unfavorable to him, but also means that his previous series of deployments have turned into self-centeredness, and all his guesses and layouts have become redundant one-man shows.
The Alliance guessed their logistical situation from the beginning.
That's why they deliberately picked a position to "show weakness" to them, making them mistakenly believe that the alliance's logistics situation was not much different from theirs, to the point where they couldn't even get together a few decent rifles.
But Griffin still didn't expect that the alliance would be so vicious!
In order to make his subordinates paralyzed and careless, he actually let his own people die for this long-planned raid, sacrificing more than 3,000 people!
He took a deep breath, calmed down and asked.
"What's the situation now with the 40,000th team?"
The adjutant said nervously.
"Captain Softwan ordered the main force to retreat to Highland 330 to re-build the defense line to block the lone in-depth alliance armored force. At the same time, they also mentioned in the telegram that they hoped that the 3rd and 50,000th troops would
It can attack the alliance's positions from the west and east and contain the alliance's forces."
Griffin looked at the strategic map spread out on the table, his eyes firmly fixed on the location of Hill 330, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Tell Soft! Tell him to withdraw his defense line immediately!" The fourth adjutant was stunned for a moment, with a troubled expression on his face. "Retreat? But"
"No, it's too late!"
Griffin frowned, suddenly canceled the order, and continued talking to himself, "It would be more dangerous to abandon the position at this time. The Alliance tanks will soon catch up with them... With the Heart of Steel here, once they
Once you leave the bunker, there is no place to hide."
Looking at General Griffin with a solemn expression, several officers standing aside looked at each other.
Although the alliance's combat effectiveness has exceeded their expectations time and time again, they still have an army of 100,000 in their hands.
The situation was far from being too serious to deal with. Griffin pondered for a long time before giving an order.
"Let the Sabers and the 1st Army Aviation Squadron move to the frontline airport of the 30,000th Army and be ready to support the 40,000th Army at any time!"
The staff officer standing aside warned cautiously.
"I'm afraid the Sabers and the 1st Army Aviation Squadron alone won't be able to deal with the Heart of Steel. At most, they will lose power temporarily."
"I know," Griffin said calmly, "This is not a deployment to deal with the Heart of Steel."
The staff officer was slightly stunned.
"That is…
Without answering the question directly, Griffin looked at the map and spoke slowly.
"McCron mentioned to me once that his Heart of Steel was captured by a group of airborne troops. I thought at the time that he must be crazy. How could any airborne troops be able to jump out of an air defense position composed of hundreds of anti-aircraft guns?
How many people can survive even if they jump off the airship?"
All the officers in the camp looked at each other, exchanging surprises in each other's eyes. This indeed sounds a bit unbelievable.
With that hedgehog-like barrel of the Heart of Steel, it would be difficult to fly a plane into its face, let alone parachute above its head!
After a pause, Griffin continued.
"But now, I suddenly feel that he is not crazy or joking."
"The alliance's goal is the command post of the 40,000th Army. Their commander cannot fail to calculate that no matter how fast their armored forces advance, it is impossible to reach Hill 330 faster than the returning troops. Then
The hill will be like a nail, jamming their tracks."
"But even though it was obvious, they still ordered their armored forces to carry out this impossible task. There is only one possibility for such an abnormality, which means that their trump card is not on the ground at all, but in the sky."
The adjutant standing aside looked at General Griffin in surprise.
"You mean... they plan to send airborne troops to attack Hill 330?!"
Griffin nodded slightly.
"Their aircraft seem to use a special material or coating, and the signal signature on the radar is smaller than a sparrow. No matter how you think about it, sending airborne troops for a sneak attack is the best strategy."
"And in order to ensure smooth operation, they will definitely take action at night!"
"In this way, they can not only occupy Highland 330 before our returning troops, but also cooperate with the armored troops breaking through the G40-1 defense zone to encircle and suppress them."
As he spoke, General Griffin's lips curled into a sneer.
"Oh, these guys have a big appetite!"
The adjutant's face gradually became serious.
"According to what you say, the situation of the 40,000th Army is not dangerous..."
Griffin did not answer this question, but looked at the correspondent aside and ordered decisively.
"Send a telegram to Soft and ask him to wait until after dark and immediately dispatch the Thousand-Man Team to Highland 330!"
The staff officer looked at the general blankly.
"But in this case, wouldn't the defense of the frontline command post be..."
Griffin said without hesitation.
"Even if there is no direct 1,000-man team, they still have six 100-man teams, which is enough to deal with emergencies. And if they can't hold Highland 330, it won't matter to them whether they have more than a thousand people.
"
If you hesitate, you will lose!
With just that little infantry, it was impossible for Soft to block the attack of Alliance tanks in the open area.
Now that it is certain that the alliance will send airborne troops to raid Hill 330, instead of just waiting for death, it is better to take a gamble.
As he spoke, Griffin continued to look at the correspondent who was burying his head in taking notes, and gave a stern order.
"In addition, power on the 3rd and 50,000th troops immediately, so that they can immediately deploy troops to support the 40,000th team!"
Putting away the smoking pen, the correspondent immediately stood at attention and gave a military salute.
"yes!"
At the same time, the alliance's frontline positions.
Under the cover of the Goblin Corps, twenty "Dragonfly" transport planes carrying the Burning Corps landed on the temporary runway one after another.
As the transport planes came to a stop, ground crews pushing forklifts quickly came forward to replace the battery modules of the planes.
At the same time, the cabin door punched in, and players wearing exoskeletons walked out of the cabin one after another carrying parachute bags and rifles.
Everyone had an unhappy expression on their faces and cursed.
"MMP! This wave is so lonely!"
"That's right! I'm not really happy yet! Why is it gone!"
"+1! It's all because Gouyue's mosquitoes exploded too hard!"
"This licking is so clean!" Standing next to the plane.
Looking at the cursing airborne troops, several Lion Kingdom ground staff had strange expressions on their faces.
"What are they talking about?"
"I don't know...it doesn't seem to be the Chinese language."
"But it sounds like you're complaining."
"Is the war not going well?" A young ground crew muttered in a low voice, which happened to be overheard by the alliance engineer who was inspecting the aircraft next to him.
The latter smiled and grinned, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the group of airborne troops, and said casually.
"It's not that it didn't go well, on the contrary, it went so well that it ended without even a chance to take action."
Several ground staff members exchanged confused looks in each other's eyes, not understanding what this sentence meant at all.
Too smooth?
So what's there to complain about?
The young man who had previously guessed that the battle was not going well, looked blankly at the alliance engineer who was repairing the equipment, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"I don't understand... isn't it a good thing that things are going well?"
"It is indeed a good thing. It means that the friendly forces have done the work for them, but for them there is nothing to be happy about. The honor that belongs to the warriors must be obtained on the battlefield after all. Rather than hiding behind the friendly forces,
They are even more eager to burn on the most dangerous front line, because that is the glory that belongs to the Burning Corps."
The engineer paused and continued casually.
"As for death, it's just return... I heard one of them say it when we were drinking at a roadhouse."
After hearing these words, the expressions on everyone's faces were moved, and they looked at the majestic backs in awe.
He was also shocked in his heart, and the young man couldn't help but swallowed.
"What a bunch of lunatics..."
But as soon as this sentence came out, the young man realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his expression, so he wanted to take it back.
However, the alliance engineer didn't care, threw away the wrench in his hand, and replied casually.
"If it is for plunder, then he is indeed a madman."
"But if it is for faith, for ideals, for protecting the residents of the Alliance, or other great things...
"That's a hero!"
The young man stared blankly at the engineer from the alliance in front of him.
Although he could not fully understand this sentence, he felt a faint touch in his heart, as if a seed had been planted inadvertently.
Few people realize it.
The Alliance soldiers who fought alongside them not only left them with an extraordinary impression, but also unknowingly changed their minds...
the other side.
Next to the temporary runway.
Lao Bai, who was wearing "Dragoon" power armor, walked clumsily in front of the brothers of the Burning Legion.
"new task!"
Ye Shi joked.
"Where are you going for a ride again this time?"
Seeing that this kid was still brooding over the cancellation of the previous operation, Lao Bai looked around at everyone, grinned and said.
"The manager said that the stage in Defense Zone 40 is too small for us to show off our skills. Let us play a big one this time."
A look of interest suddenly appeared in Quit Smoking's eyes, and he quickly asked.
"How big?"
"The command post of the 40,000th Army!" Lao Bai continued with bright eyes, "According to
Pangolin information, there are at least one or two thousand people stationed there.
When he heard that there were one or two thousand people, Ye Shi instantly became excited.
"What the hell! A group?!"
Quit smoking: “Awesome!”
Looking at his excited teammates, Lao Bai said with a smile.
"This time the Skeleton Corps has the same goal as ours, which is to paralyze the command system of the 40,000-man regiment. However, they are still suffering from motion sickness on the road, so they will definitely not be able to get ahead of us this time."
Guangfeng, who was standing aside, didn't show many obvious changes in his mood, and just asked a simple question.
"when to departure?"
"After dark!" Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "What? There are classes today.
?”
Kuangfeng Dan nodded firmly.
"Well, I have to take a day off later."
(I originally planned to write more...but I still haven't finished the second half, which is embarrassing)
This chapter has been completed!
