While the fighting broke out in the rear, the fighting on the front line was not over yet. After Eiland Hill's troops crossed the Mullen River, the flat Three Rivers Plain was displayed before their eyes.
The five armored divisions of the 1st Army Group lined up and galloped across the plain. It took only three days to occupy the entire Northeast region.
In the eyes of the soldiers of Airan Hill, this place is already a messy "lunar surface". Or for the top management of Airan Hill, in a few years, the surface of the moon will be much more prosperous than here.
The burning mountain fire had just extinguished itself, leaving only charred ashes in the countless destroyed forests. Bodies of monsters were piled up beside the river, and human remains could be seen everywhere, as well as abandoned ones that could not be recognized at all.
Village.
The fire destroyed many beautiful scenery, and some supply gathering areas were abandoned. On both sides of the road were armors and swords that had been deformed by the fire, and countless puppet parts were scattered among them.
If there really is an apocalypse in this world, it should be the scene before us. Everything here is lifeless, and everything here seems to have no life.
The Eiland Hill Armored Reconnaissance Battalion responsible for the reconnaissance was dispersed and moved forward more than 150 kilometers a day without even encountering a single living person.
They crossed the abandoned villages one after another, looked at the collapsed walls, looked at the burned foundations, but couldn't find anyone with whom they could ask about the situation, or chat with someone for a few words.
At the beginning, after crossing the Malon River, they also captured a large number of puppet empire soldiers. Like the previous situation, these soldiers were jammed on the road, huddled together as if they had lost their souls, and were beaten by a few Ailan Hill's soldiers.
The grenadiers were driven like cattle.
But now, living people have become a rare thing. The reconnaissance team tried their best, but they were unable to find a few locals to ask for directions from the edge of the forest that was still burning and had been baked into charcoal.
At the beginning, the air force was ordered to cover the ground troops' attack. Where countless fighter jets passed by, it could be said that not a single blade of grass grew.
Later, the ground forces found that there was no decent resistance at all, so they applied to weaken some air support.
As a result, Airan Hill's air force reduced its ground support from 2,000 sorties per day to 1,200 sorties per day.
Another day later, the news from the ground forces was "continue to reduce, resistance is almost zero." The Air Force had no choice but to fly only half of the sorties, and only had 600 ground attack support operations per day.
As a result, the ground troops still could not find the enemy, not even civilians. In the end, all air support was changed to air alert, and all ground attacks were prohibited unless the ground troops applied for it...
What is depressing is that the ground troops still can't find anyone. Whether they are puppet imperial soldiers who are resisting or civilians who are not resisting, they rarely encounter them.
On the third day, Eiland Hill's forward troops finally began to find some villages. These villages were newly built by people who survived the bombing. They had no intention of escaping. They stayed where they were and lived a life, barely filling their stomachs and waiting for the war to pass.
.
The arrival of the Airansil army did not shock these civilians, or it could be said that the other parties were already numb to this war.
They leaned under the collapsed wall, sitting and watching the soldiers of Elanthir passing in front of them.
When they met the Grenadiers from Ellandhill who asked for directions, they answered with all their knowledge. Their cooperative attitude was not so much a welcome to the King's Master, but rather a numb resignation to the extreme.
However, this numbness that has begun to spread to their bones has brought them unexpected benefits.
Because they were so miserable, the soldiers of Elanthir often left some food for them.
One reason is that Ireland's logistics supply is now very strong. The frontline troops often receive airdrop supplies from helicopters. The ammunition and food supply of the frontline troops are dozens of times better than two years ago.
Another reason is that the local civilians who survived the disaster were too miserable and too few. The people who stayed were basically very poor. They were given food and tents and other supplies, and the children in Seris City were given to the zoo.
The mood of the dragon feeding is the same...
The 3rd Army Group followed the 1st Army Group southward, and the scenery they saw along the way was even more poignant. After all, the 1st Army Group still had some adventurous mood to expand its territory, so those who followed could only
I found some sense of presence by helping local people repair their houses.
Throughout July, after Eiland Hill broke through the Mullen River defense line, no major fighting broke out. In early August, Eiland Hill's frontline troops had reached the southernmost end of the Three Rivers Plain, arriving at the Somme
South bank of the river.
This Somme River is of course not the Somme River in Europe on earth. It is just called the Somme River, and it is a large river with a total length not much shorter than the Yellow River.
Arriving here means that the Three Rivers Plain is completely in the hands of Eiland Hill, and the grain-producing areas of the puppet empire are completely occupied by Eiland Hill.
At the same time, the New Puppet Empire has also come into contact with the forward troops of the 1st Army Group of Airan Hill. Now, there is no need to detour through Greiken. From the actual control area of the New Puppet Empire, you can directly enter the Airan Hill controlled area.
.
Some armies of the new puppet empire have truly seen the huge gap in military strength between the two sides.
Across a line of defense, they saw the armored troops of Eiland Hill raiding a puppet empire force that refused to surrender. In just half an hour, a force of thousands of people was easily defeated, and even
Not even a few prisoners were left.
Most of the people were overwhelmed by the intensive artillery fire. The armed helicopters hovering in the sky with magical defense barriers were like vultures hovering over corpses. The sight of them was off-putting.
The traces of the legendary puppet empire's capital, Bulkland, were finally discovered by the Air Force reconnaissance force of Airan Hill.
It is moving rapidly to the southwest and is about to approach Lake Lungosk, the largest lake in the southern part of the puppet empire.
Because of the large river blocking the road, the moving centipede city of Bulkland has no way to cross Lake Lungosk, so this is the southernmost point where it can escape.
It's not impossible to take a detour, but the road you must pass is very narrow. You can't avoid the missile attack of Elan Hill by taking this route. So whether you take this route or not, the result is actually the same——
Long Ling's fever has subsided and his throat has become less swollen. Although his nose is still runny, his whole body is no longer sore. When Long Ling feels better, he will start to resume updates. Don't worry.
