The situation is extremely critical. After Central Base L2451 has become an island-like existence, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to continue to hold on for nearly 40 hours.
Even if a broadcast is sent out to collect the retreating troops on the center line, this base is only a temporary fortress and not a city after all. It cannot accommodate too many troops, not to mention that the stored strategic materials cannot withstand long-term consumption.
"I am ready to abandon this base and evacuate all personnel and equipment!" After pondering for ten minutes, Qin Changfeng made the final decision. He had no intention of discussing it with anyone, because in the face of the current situation, no one else
There is nothing we can do.
The officers present all nodded in agreement. The only result of holding on was to be surrounded and annihilated. They had to evacuate to the complex terrain and hide, and there was still a chance to wait for the empire to send reinforcements from other planets. But the second sentence Qin Changfeng said made them
All were petrified on the spot.
"After that, I will lead all the armored troops and march straight in to attack the central base of the Zhanguang tribe!" Qin Changfeng finished speaking calmly, looking around at everyone's expressions.
"This... is simply asking for death!"
The person who said this was none other than Ruo Yushi, a bastard who never saw anyone when fighting. Seeing Qin Changfeng staring at him silently, he quickly changed the subject and said: "But since ancient times, many
In times of crisis, we often have to put ourselves to death in order to survive, so I agree with Changfeng Holy Envoy to attack the central base of the Zhanguang Tribe, force their main force to return for reinforcements, and give the Imperial Army a chance to breathe and recuperate."
This was not nonsense, but there was some truth in it. After hearing this, several officers all looked thoughtful. After a moment, Lu Yifu said in a deep voice: "Holy envoy, this is indeed a way to reverse the situation, but it has some disadvantages."
Two questions. First, with the strength of our L2451 base, do we have the ability to threaten the main base of the Zhan Guang tribe? Second, due to the weakness of the imperial weapons in detection, so far we do not know what Zhan Guang is.
The specific location of the tribe’s main base!”
Qin Changfeng stood up, walked to the huge electronic projection screen in front of the wall, asked Yuehu to call up the topographic map of the planet, and pointed his fingers at a place occupied by the Xingling tribe, more than 200 kilometers away from the front line.
Press.
"First, I know the location of the Zhanguang Tribe's main base, it's right here!"
"Secondly, precisely because of the secret location, the Star Spirit Tribe must not have thought that we would know the specific location of their base. In this way, they would think that they do not need to keep too many troops in the base, and instead send more troops to the base.
Plunge into the battle on the front line. With the power of one hundred of our heavy tanks, a sudden attack is enough to cause a devastating blow to them."
"Third, the location of the Protoss Base is very special. It is under a cliff. Although I don't know why they chose to place the base under the cliff, the existence of the cliff gives us an excellent position for bombardment from a high position.
, as long as the siege tank is mounted on it, the entire base will be exposed to the tank's gunfire as defenselessly as a naked woman!"
After seeing the approximate location of the main base of the Star Spirit Tribe, Qin Changfeng used the characteristics of the huge cliff to delineate the coordinates of the Star Spirit Tribe's base on the holographic map.
At the same time, his words made the senior officers of the base present relax somewhat. If he really said this, then it is indeed worth taking a gamble. After all, the ratio of effort to return is too amazing.
You must know that the importance of the main base to the Protoss Clan is not comparable to that of the base to the Imperial Army.
The Protoss usually don't have too many main bases. For example, on this planet, there is only one. And the various buildings in the base for manufacturing and summoning weapons, improving combat effectiveness, and teleporting warriors are almost all unique. Once
After being destroyed, the Protoss army on this planet will become a group of lonely ghosts. Not only will their combat effectiveness be greatly reduced, they will also completely lose supplies and energy support for a long time.
This is reality, not a game. Any warriors and weapons need supplies, not unlimited energy ammunition.
"I have a question. Even if some of the main forces of the Protoss are forced back and the main force of the empire in the center is saved, how can the troops attacking the base escape the encirclement and suppression of the main force of the Protoss?" A lieutenant colonel officer asked this question.
Finally, everyone fell into silence, because it was almost obvious that there was no way.
At this time, a one-armed major stood up and said decisively: "Qi Zhendong volunteered to lead his infantry regiment to the rear!"
Hearing this, the conference room fell silent again.
What he meant by this was not that he wanted to be the queen, but that he was willing to die in response to Qin Changfeng's plan.
He did this not because he is so great, but because he is the person with the highest status in the Yueqi family here. They have decided to put all their hopes on Qin Changfeng and must do their best at this critical moment.
Support, even if he and his infantry regiment composed of key members of the Yueqi family are all killed.
In fact, if he didn't take the lead, Qin Changfeng would have had a way to get the imperial troops in the base to do this. After all, the military orders were falling like a mountain, and whether they could escape was another matter.
But after his statement, the voice of opposition was undoubtedly much smaller. After all, no one dared to openly say that he was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Finally, in just one hour, a fully mechanized force consisting of thirty Condor tanks, one hundred heavy tanks, fifty armored vehicles loaded with infantry, engineering vehicles and crystal mineral supplies, and five machine giants set off from the base.
Under the cover of darkness, he went straight to the base coordinates determined by Qin Changfeng and pounced.
The remaining infantry in the base planted hundreds of smart landmines in the base and quickly evacuated with the non-combatants, preparing to retreat to the crystalline rear before the Xingling Emperor's troops surrounded the place.
He went to the mine to wait for news, and both Yuehu and Linna were among them.
Among the troops heading north and disappearing into the night, Qin Changfeng sat in an armored transport vehicle, his brain running rapidly, thinking about everything about this battle.
The first thing he lamented was that Yue Shan really had no bottom line. If nothing else happened... the great rout on the central and eastern fronts must have something to do with him!
No matter what the reason is, it is too disgraceful to collude with the enemy and then plunge one's own army into disaster.
Even if most of these troops are not his trusted troops in this world, they should not be sold like this. This is not a question of whether they are evil or not, but that they have lost even the last bit of bottom line and integrity.
At the same time, whether intentional or not, this situation is very detrimental to Qin Changfeng's ability to complete the advanced battle.
After voluntarily giving up the base, he must help the Imperial Army achieve at least a paper victory before the 48-hour deadline in order to have the possibility of passing the advanced battle.
That's why he had to put this bold plan in his mind into practice.
Ruo Yushi whispered beside him and asked: "Boss, our attack on the main base of the Star Spirit Tribe this time may not be that simple, right?"
Qin Changfeng muttered: "We have two goals this time. The first is to pass the advanced battle, and the second is to kill the bastard Yue Shan. As long as these two goals are achieved, nothing else matters..."
…………
Not only did the commanders of the Zhanguang Tribe not expect that their troop, which instead of escaping to the southern mineral veins in the dark night, instead flew towards the land occupied by the Star Spirit Clan in the north, there was no one else on the Emperor's side.
You can imagine it.
Since most of the troops were chasing the Imperial Army at the front, they galloped across the vast plains from the battle line for more than two hours, but they didn't even encounter a Sentinel from the Protoss Tribe.
The moving speed of the armored troops in the darkness will naturally be greatly affected, but even if it is reduced by half, more than six hours later, before the sun of the planet is about to rise again, Qin Changfeng can still see the huge mountain under the cliff from a distance.
base.
Under the weak morning light, some places reflected dazzling light. Someone in the armored vehicle immediately exclaimed: "It turned out to be crystal mines exposed on the surface. No wonder they want to build the base under the cliff. These crystal mines are not difficult to mine.
The veins are at least worth the output of three underground veins!”
Commander Qin was not touched by this. He just asked all the troops to go around to the gentle slope on the other side of the cliff. This was the fastest way to the top of the cliff.
When the sun completely rose from the horizon, and with the eyesight of an imperial soldier, he could clearly see things a few hundred meters away, and then he ordered a fierce attack on the Protoss sentry towers and small battle fortresses on the gentle slope.
The Protoss naturally knew how serious the consequences would be if the cliff above the base was occupied by the enemy, so they built dense fortifications on the side of the gentle slope climbing the cliff.
The purpose is that if an enemy attacks here, it can delay the enemy's attack on the cliff, so that the troops in the main base can reinforce it in time.
However, at this time, when the battle was fierce at the front, how could they have imagined that such a strange soldier would suddenly appear next to their heart!
Six of the 100 siege tanks broke down due to malfunctions when they were on their way, and Qin Changfeng threw them down without hesitation. At this time, 94 tanks set up in siege mode fired a single salvo, killing the first one.
Twenty meters behind the turret, all raised objects on the ground were flattened, and fragments of the turret flew into the sky. After falling, they were directly blown to pieces by the second round of artillery fire.
After two rounds of shelling, one-third of the tanks put away their siege racks, moved forward a hundred meters under the cover of infantry, and then set them up again. Then the artillery fire extended forward along the previously bombed boundary, and another section of the tank was set up.
All Protoss units within a distance of fifty meters were torn into pieces.
In this way, the siege tanks advanced in an orderly manner. In less than ten minutes, relying on their huge range advantage, they directly plowed the gentle slope that they had to pass to climb the cliff, and almost all obstacles were removed.
.
At this time, the main base of the Protoss Spirit Tribe has not sent reinforcements or troops to attack.
