At about 15:00 on May 24, 2037, a tropical storm landed in Luzon. The strong winds carried heavy rain and rushed to the coast. Heavy rain fell from the sky, as if there was a hole in the sky. After a while, the heavy rain poured down the island of Luzon.
It is transparent, and there is water everywhere on the ground. In low-lying places, the water has spread into one piece.
Due to the overemphasis on strategic role when selecting sites, many sonic stations were located in unsatisfactory locations and were even built directly in lowlands. Shortly after the storm made landfall, more than a dozen sonic stations were flooded.
Fortunately, sonic stations are multi-story buildings, and equipment and supplies are placed upstairs, so water intrusion on the first floor is not a big problem.
But it was only the sonic station itself that was not a big problem. The infrasonic cannons in the jungle were not so lucky. Many sonic cannons were submerged in water and completely lost their function in the blink of an eye.
The sonic cannons were not the only ones that failed. Short circuits also occurred in the cables and wires buried underground. However, in just half an hour, one-third of the sonic cannons on Luzon Island were damaged.
It only took the storm more than thirty minutes to achieve the goal that the aliens had failed to achieve despite all their efforts.
Qi Jingwen originally wanted to carry out the orders of his superiors and completely eliminate the enemies on Duluo Island while the typhoon was landing. However, the storm was a bit stronger than expected. The armored vehicle of more than 20 tons was swaying in the storm, like a tree that was growing at any time.
Grass that may break.
The landing troops could not continue their operations, so Qi Jingwen decisively terminated the mission and took the troops to a high point leeward to avoid floods caused by strong winds and heavy rains.
Not only the landing troops, but also the aircraft carrier battle groups on the sea had to retreat in front of the storm and left Doro Island several hours in advance to avoid the storm.
Military operations in the entire Southeast Cluster were suspended due to the storm and are expected to take at least three days to resume.
While the southeast cluster is in trouble, the operations of the southwest cluster continue.
After the Southwest Cluster initially took control of the Indochina Peninsula, Beidu sent additional troops to the southwest. After integrating with the Southwest Cluster, it divided the troops on the Indochina Peninsula into two, with one half remaining to control the situation, and the other half forming the Westward Cluster, all the way to the Indochina Peninsula.
Advance west.
The actions of the westward advance group aroused strong uneasiness in Ah San, who immediately issued a public statement asking the northern capital to suspend military operations in this direction!
Ah San's reasons are very good. They publicly declared that the exiled government officials of various countries in the Indochina Peninsula are under the protection of Ah San. In every aspect, the Indochina Peninsula should be recovered by Ah San's troops instead of being occupied by the northern capital.
.
Ah San also said that Beidou's military operations seriously violated the sovereignty of the countries in the Indochina Peninsula and demanded that Beidou immediately withdraw from the Indochina Peninsula.
When the news reached Beidu, Beidu didn't bother to say anything. They continued to fight against the westward cluster and did not take Ah San's statement to heart at all.
Talking about the exiled government? Who wouldn't? There are not ten or eight exiled officials raised in Beidu, dozens of them can be produced every minute.
This is still genuine. If we include all the copycat ones, there are eighty if not one hundred!
Ah San was jumping up and down happily, but who didn't know what was going on with the exiled officials in their hands?
Beidou's insistence on going its own way made Ah San extremely angry, and he made two more statements in succession. After finding that it still had no effect, Ah San filed a complaint to his father in the United States in anger, hoping that his father in the United States would help him say a few words.
The Americans who received the complaint were speechless. At this juncture, is it the time to grab territory?
Besides, even if you want to grab it, you have to see if you have the strength first, right?
The entire counterattack has achieved good results in Asia, the United States, and Europe, but what about Ah San? He hasn’t even solved his own domestic problems, and he still wants to go abroad? He must first seize the door back from the aliens.
Bar!
In the end, I don’t know what the United States said to Ah San. Ah San’s accusation was eventually dropped, and the Indo-China Peninsula was never mentioned again.
In early July, the westward marching group reached the border of Asan and Sanguo and stopped here.
In principle, the westward-moving cluster can continue westward and penetrate into Asan's territory, as long as the territory belonging to Asan is returned after the war.
However, Beidou has no idea of repaying evil with kindness and directly brakes at the border. Ah San can do whatever he likes. Anyway, Ah San has no chance to get involved in the Indochina Peninsula.
During this period, the Northern Capital not only formed a westward advance group, but also formed a southward advance group at the same time, and headed south to Baltica in late May.
In other words, Beidu formed four battle clusters in the southwest, southeast, westward, and southward in the first half of 2037, with a total force of nearly 300,000!
Although the strength of each cluster is not too high, all members are equipped with power armor and all other technical equipment.
In order to form these battle clusters, Beidu almost spent all its resources and no longer had the ability to set up a fifth battle cluster.
The southward cluster lived up to expectations and continued to advance despite various interferences and counterattacks from aliens. At the end of June, the southward cluster took back its equatorial base; in mid-July, the northern capital reopened its equatorial base.
At the end of July, the southbound cluster retook Borneo, and a few days later, the orbital elevator returned and the ground end was re-fixed at the equatorial base.
At this point, the counterattack plan for the first phase of Beidu has been completed.
Miou's two directions have also achieved brilliant results in the past two months.
The American army moved southward amid the interception of aliens, opened up the land passage from North America to South America in late June, and began a large-scale march into South America.
In Europe, the coalition forces regained the entire territory in early July. After a short rest, the coalition forces crossed the Mediterranean and landed in North Africa, officially marching into the African continent where aliens have been entrenched for the longest time and have the strongest power.
However, in just a few months, counterattacks from all directions achieved decisive successes. The Allied forces destroyed hundreds of alien nests in the battle, leaving only ten alien nests in the northern hemisphere, and the insect swarms suffered heavy casualties.
It is true that not all enemy nests have been destroyed by the coalition forces, and there are still a considerable number of enemy nests hidden in the dark. However, humans have never given up chasing aliens, and the aliens hiding in the dark dare not show up.
Generally speaking, the situation in the first six months of 2037 is that humans are the main offensive and aliens are the main defenders. Both sides will win or lose, but humans have the overall strategic advantage.
The public is very optimistic about the Allied counterattack, and optimistically believes that in another half a year, or at most a year, humans will be able to completely drive the aliens off the earth.
The more pessimistic view is that it will take three to five years to completely and completely eliminate aliens.
But no matter which view, they all believe that mankind will win the final victory.
This incident is actually quite interesting. If the time were moved forward a year and a half, no one, whether civilian or military, believed that humans could eliminate aliens. Many people even believed that humans would not be able to win the war.
