Chapter 467: You really don’t treat your brothers as outsiders!
The scorching sun scorched the earth, as if to evaporate the last trace of moisture on the soil.
Unable to bear the scorching sun, the crawling Death Claw drooped its head and snorted listlessly.
”Shhh–”
Living in the River Valley Province, it obviously couldn’t adapt to the climate of the Sunset Province.
But after all, it is an organism standing at the top of the food chain. Its super adaptability to the environment only makes it feel uncomfortable at most, but it won’t be unable to persist.
Edge Paddle patted its head gently.
”Be good, just get to the oasis.”
It’s only two hundred kilometers away from Oasis No. 3.
As Section 1 of the G40 Defense Zone was penetrated by the Skeleton Corps, the Alliance Army has infiltrated three corps with a total of more than 6,000 troops behind the G40 Defense Line.
It wasn’t until a thousand-man team was wiped out that the Legion finally came to its senses.
Just ten minutes ago, a 100-man artillery team 20 kilometers away belatedly delivered regional firepower to the G40-1 position, pouring at least 200 shells.
For the legion that was short of supplies, these 200 shells were already a considerable amount of money.
However, the Alliance did not stay in the narrow gap of G40-1 for too long, and this round of shelling was completely in vain.
The current position of the Death Corps is on the right side of the Skeleton Corps.
According to the plan, their original goal was to go around to the northeast to the rear of the No. 41 defense zone, relying on 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 the No. 40 position to annihilate the active forces of the 40,000-man team of the legion.
But now, the situation has changed.
The enemy’s preparations are even less than expected, and the 40,000-man team was defeated before it could even hold on for an hour.
Annihilating the enemy’s active forces is no longer a top priority. The Alliance can take this opportunity to expand the results of the battle and further eliminate the “division-level command post” at a higher level!
The so-called divisional command post, that is, the command post of a 10,000-man team, is the highest level of command post on the front line.
The next level up is the headquarters of the army group, which is where Griffin is.
It is not realistic to push the headquarters of the army group in one wave, but the divisional command post is still conceivable.
As long as it is taken, all the defense lines of the G40~49 sections will fall into chaos.
Without the dispatch of the command system, the thousand-man team will not be able to form effective mutual support, and each defense zone will be instantly divided into an isolated island.
Even if these Willant officers are all supermen, they can only be annihilated.
It is precisely for this reason that the opponent will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.
According to the information provided by Pangolin, the command post of the 10,000-man team of the legion is usually equipped with a direct 1,000-man infantry team, as well as a hundred-man artillery, communication, engineering, sergeant, and transport team, with a total force of between 1,500 and 2,000.
The distance to the front line is usually between 100 kilometers and 200 kilometers.
Normally, a strategic depth of 150 kilometers would take two days at a slow pace, or one day at a fast pace.
But this is only under normal circumstances.
The Legion would never have thought that the Alliance not only tamed the Death Claw, but also used the characteristics of the Death Claw to train a complete cavalry unit.
Tanks and trucks rely on smooth roads.
But livestock don’t need them.
Going around his mount, Bianhuashui walked to the front of the team and looked at the more than 3,000 brothers waiting in line at the bottom of the mountain.
More than 30% of them are new.
However, after half a month of “suicidal training”, even the newcomer who joined the Corps the latest has become a qualified soldier.
There is no doubt about their combat effectiveness!
Looking around at the brothers present, Bianhuashui turned on the communication system and spoke loudly.
”There is news from the headquarters that Plan No. 3 is progressing smoothly! The enemy has raised the white flag before the Burning Corps landed!”
”In less than an hour, we won the first phase of the operation!”
Hearing that the battle was going so smoothly, all the players smiled knowingly.
Especially the newcomers.
After being tortured by the “pangolin” for half a month, most of the newcomers were on edge when they first went to the battlefield, fearing that they would be held back if they didn’t do well enough.
As a result, they didn’t even see the shadow of the enemy, and they had already won the first stage of the battle.
This is not a wasteland. It’s
a bit too postmodern!
The debt standing in front of the team looked at the construction site boy and brick beside him, lowered his voice and made a joke.
”The goblin army is so happy to get heads, I bet Lao Bai and the others must be cursing.”
”Hahaha!” The construction site boy and brick, who have never had a high sense of humor, couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Edgepad rolled his eyes at the two guys, ignored them, and continued in a loud voice.
”In order to consolidate the results of the battle, the headquarters ordered the Skeleton Corps to continue to advance, targeting the enemy’s divisional command post!”
”At the same time, our mission has also been adjusted. The original operation has been cancelled, and the miscellaneous soldiers in the 41st defense zone will be left to our friendly forces to deal with. The new mission assigned to us by the headquarters is to continue forward and advance to Hill 330, 150 kilometers away!”
”That is the front tooth of the 40,000th Corps Command Post! If we pull it out, we can put the tank’s gun barrel into the enemy’s mouth!”
The construction site boy and the brick shouted with a smile.
”Sir! How many people are there?”
The drum shampoo machine also laughed and followed.
”Is it enough for each of our brothers to share one head?”
The edge of the water smiled heartily.
”That’s probably not enough. According to the aerial images, there is an anti-aircraft artillery position on the hilltop there, and the deployed force is expected to be only a hundred-man team.”
The construction site boy and the brick sighed.
”Just one company.”
”Even if there is only one company, we must not underestimate the enemy!” Bianbian Huashui said seriously, “Our enemies are not weak. They have obviously seen through our plan. At least four teams of thousands of people are moving from the front to the rear along the road network.”
”If they want to intercept the advancing Skeleton Corps, Hill 330 is their best choice. Therefore, we must take it before the enemy and cover the brothers of the Skeleton Corps to pass this last checkpoint!”
As he said that, Bianbian Huashui grinned.
”The command center gave us a deadline of 24 hours, but I think this deadline simply doesn’t take our brothers’ legs and feet seriously!”
For some reason, the construction site boy and the brick suddenly shuddered and muttered to themselves.
”I always have a bad feeling.”
As if to cooperate with his premonition.
The next sentence of the edge brother confirmed his guess.
”…Five hundred wolf cavalrymen take five hundred brothers and follow me to set off first! Infiltrate the enemy’s hinterland along a straight line and try to reach the destination before midnight!”
”The rest of you follow the construction site brother. There are limited transportation tools… I’ll trouble the strength brothers to work hard!”
After saying that, before the strength players came back to their senses, the edge of the water waved his hand and gave an order with great momentum.
”Action!”
As the edge of the water called out the names in the communication channel, five teams of 100 people composed of agility players quickly stepped out and sat on their teammates’ death claws.
The action was so fast, as if they were afraid of being late.
”Brother, I’m leaving first!” The debt-ridden big-eyed man patted the construction site guy’s shoulder with a smile, and rode behind the edge paddling.
Looking at the dust disappearing in the distance, and then looking at the more than 2,000 brothers and hundreds of bicycles and tricycles left behind, the construction site boy and the brick had a look of crying and laughing.
After a while, he finally uttered a word.
”Chao!”
This guy.
He really doesn’t treat his brothers as outsiders.
No, he shouldn’t treat them as human beings!
I don’t know from which version, the power system, which was originally so popular, has been used as animals by everyone. And the intelligence system, the younger brother of the original version, seems to be not so useless with the emergence of a large number of neural connection equipment.
Thinking of this, the construction site guy couldn’t help but clench his fists.
Damn it!
When will the power system stand up!
The newbie holding the shotgun had no idea what was going to happen. He walked up excitedly and asked excitedly at the construction site guy.
”Captain, what should we do now?”
Seeing this, the other newcomers also asked excitedly.
”Are we going to infiltrate as well?”
”How?”
The young man from the construction site and Zhuan rode on a tricycle while cursing and pedaled hard.
”Get on board!”
…
Oasis No. 3, Legion Command.
Griffin was stunned for a full minute after hearing the intelligence sent from the front line, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
The news that the G40-1 position was breached by the Alliance reached him almost at the same time as the news of the defeat of the 40th Thousandth Squadron.
If he hadn’t known that the officers of the 40th Thousandth Squadron were all Willant, he couldn’t help but start to suspect that there was a traitor.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why these idiots couldn’t even last an hour.
The adjutant standing by saw that General Griffin didn’t speak, swallowed his saliva, and continued.
”According to the report of the 40,000th Squadron, the Alliance has deployed the Heart of Steel in the battle and concentrated almost all of its armored units…”
”From the current point of view, it should not be a test, they are planning to fight us to the death.”
Hearing this, Griffin’s face became even gloomier, like a dark cloud brewing a storm, as if it could drip water.
Originally, according to his plan, the ultimatum could buy him at least a month, but he didn’t expect that the Alliance launched a full-scale offensive in just half a month.
This not only means that the entire battle situation will quickly slide into a situation that is unfavorable to him, but also means that his previous series of deployments have become self-conceited, and all the speculations and layouts have become unnecessary one-man shows.
The Alliance guessed their logistical situation from the beginning.
That’s why they deliberately chose a position to “show weakness” to them, making them mistakenly believe that the Alliance’s logistical situation is not much different from theirs, and that they can’t even get a few decent rifles together.
But Griffin still didn’t expect that the Alliance would be so cruel!
In order to make his men complacent, he actually let his men die for this long-planned raid, sacrificing more than 3,000 men!
He took a deep breath, calmed down and asked.
”What’s the situation with the 40,000th Army?”
The adjutant said nervously.
”Captain Softt ordered the main force to withdraw to Hill 330 to rebuild the defense line and block the isolated Alliance armored forces that were advancing deep into the country. At the same time, they also mentioned in the telegram that they hoped the 30,000th and 50,000th Army could attack the Alliance’s positions from the west and east to tie down the Alliance’s forces.”
Griffin looked at the strategic map spread out on the table, his eyes fixed on Hill 330, and his face suddenly changed.
”Tell Softt! Let him shrink the defense line immediately!”
The adjutant was slightly stunned, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
”Retreat? But–”
”No, it’s too late!”
Griffin frowned, suddenly canceled the order, and continued to talk to himself, “It would be more dangerous to abandon the position at this time. The tanks of the Alliance will soon catch up with them… With the Iron Heart, once they 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 combat effectiveness of the Alliance has exceeded their expectations time and time again, they still have a hundred thousand troops in their hands.
The situation is far from being so serious that it is difficult to deal with.
Griffin pondered for a long time and gave an order.
”Let the ‘Saber’ and the First Army Aviation Squadron move to the front-line airport of the 30,000-man Brigade and be ready to support the 40,000-man Brigade at any time!”
The staff standing aside reminded cautiously.
”I’m afraid that the ‘Saber’ and the First Army Aviation Squadron alone can’t deal with the ‘Iron Heart’. At most, they can temporarily make them lose power.”
”I know,” Griffin said calmly, “This is not a deployment made to deal with the ‘Iron Heart’.”
The staff was slightly stunned.
”That is…”
Griffin stared at the map and spoke slowly without answering the question directly.
”McClan mentioned to me once that his Iron Heart was taken down by a group of paratroopers. I thought he must be crazy at the time. How could paratroopers jump onto the airship with hundreds of anti-aircraft guns? Even if they jumped off, how many of them would survive?”
The officers in the tent looked at each other in surprise.
This really sounded too incredible.
With the hedgehog-like barrel of the Iron Heart, it would be difficult to parachute over its head, or even fly a plane into its face!
After a pause, Griffin continued.
”But now, I suddenly feel that he is not crazy, nor is he joking.”
”The Alliance’s target is the command post of the 40,000th Army. Their commander could not have failed to calculate that no matter how fast their armored forces advance, they can’t reach Hill 330 faster than the returning troops. That hill will be like a nail, blocking their tracks…”
”But even if it is 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 a daze.
”You mean… they plan to send airborne troops to attack Hill 330?!”
Griffin nodded slightly.
”Their aircraft seem to have used a special material or coating, and the signal characteristics on the radar are smaller than that of a sparrow. No matter how you think about it, sending airborne troops to attack is the best strategy.” ”
And in order to ensure the smooth operation, they will definitely take action at night!”
”In this way, they can not only occupy Hill 330 before our returning defense troops, but also cooperate with the armored troops that break through the G40-1 defense zone to encircle and suppress them.”
As he said this, General Griffin’s mouth curled up a sneer.
”Hehe, these guys have a big appetite!”
The adjutant’s face gradually became solemn.
”According to what you said, isn’t the situation of the 40,000th team dangerous…”
Griffin did not answer this question, but looked at the communicator on the side and ordered in a decisive tone.
”Send a telegram to Soft and ask him to wait until dark and immediately send the direct 1,000-man team to Hill 330!”
The staff looked at the general in a daze.
”But in this way, the defense of the front-line command post will not be…”
Griffin said without hesitation.
”Even without that direct thousand-man team, they still have six hundred-man teams, enough to deal with emergencies. And if they can’t hold Hill 330, it doesn’t matter whether they have more than a thousand people or not.”
Hesitation will lead to defeat!
With just that few infantry, Softt simply can’t stop the attack of the Alliance tanks in the open area.
Since it is certain that the Alliance will send airborne troops to raid Hill 330.
Instead of waiting to die, it’s better to take a gamble.
As he said, Griffin continued to look at the communicator who was burying his head and taking notes at light speed, and gave a stern order.
”In addition, immediately send a telegram to the 3rd and 50,000th teams, and let them immediately withdraw troops to support the 40,000th team!”
Putting away the quick-erase smoking fountain pen, the communicator immediately stood at attention and saluted.
”Yes!”
…
At the same time, the Alliance front-line position.
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, the ground crew pushing the forklift quickly stepped forward to replace the battery module of the aircraft.
At the same time, the cabin door was clocked in, and the players wearing exoskeletons, carrying parachutes and rifles, walked out of the cabin one after
another. Everyone had a gloomy expression on their faces and cursed.
”MMP! This wave is just flying in vain!”
”That’s right! I haven’t had enough fun yet! How come it’s gone!”
”+1! It’s all because of the mosquitoes that bombed too hard!”
”This licking the ground is too fucking clean!”
Standing next to the plane.
Looking at the cursing paratroopers, several Lion Kingdom ground crew members had a strange expression on their faces.
”What are they saying?”
”I don’t know… It doesn’t seem to be human language.”
”But it sounds like complaining.”
”Is the war not going well?” A young ground crew member muttered in a low voice, and was heard by the Alliance engineer who was inspecting the plane next to him.
The latter grinned, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the group of paratroopers, and casually interrupted.
”It’s not that it’s not going smoothly, on the contrary, it’s too smooth. It’s over before we even have a chance to make a move.”
Several ground crew members exchanged blank looks at each other, not understanding what this sentence meant.
Too smooth?
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.
”I don’t understand… Isn’t it a good thing that it’s going smoothly?”
”It’s 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 of a soldier must be won on the battlefield. Rather than hiding behind friendly forces, they are more eager to burn on the most dangerous front line, because that is the glory of the Burning Legion.”
The engineer paused and continued casually.
”As for death, it’s just a return… I heard one of them say that when we were drinking in the roadhouse before.”
After hearing this, everyone’s faces were moved, and they looked at the tall and majestic backs with awe.
The young man was also shocked in his heart, and he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.
”What a bunch of lunatics…”
But as soon as he said this, 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, tossed the wrench in his hand, and replied casually.
”If it’s for plunder, then it’s indeed crazy.”
”But if it’s for faith, for ideals, to protect 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 couldn’t fully understand this sentence, he felt a little touched in his heart, as if a seed had been planted inadvertently.
Few people realized it.
In addition to the extraordinary impression left by the Alliance soldiers who fought alongside them, they were also changing their minds unconsciously…
On the other side.
Next to the temporary runway.
Old White, wearing the “Dragoon” power armor, walked in front of the brothers of the Burning Legion with clumsy steps.
”New mission!”
Ye Shi teased.
”Where are we going for a ride this time?”
Seeing that this kid was still upset about the cancellation of the previous operation, Old White looked around at everyone and said with a grin.
”The manager said that the stage of defense zone No. 40 is too small for us to show our skills. Let’s play big this time.” Quitting
Smoking’s eyes suddenly showed an interested look, and he hurriedly asked.
”How big?”
”The command post of the 40th 10,000th team!” Old White continued with a bright look, “According to the intelligence of Pangolin, there are at least one or two thousand people stationed there!”
When he heard one or two thousand people, Ye Shi was instantly excited.
”Fuck! A regiment?!”
Quitting Smoking: “Awesome!!!”
Looking at the excited teammates, Old White said with a smile.
”This time, the Skeleton Corps and we have the same goal, which is to destroy the command system of the 40,000th Corps of the Paralysis Corps. But they are still carsick on the road, so they will definitely not be able to get ahead of us this time.”
Kuangfeng, who was standing aside, did not have too many obvious emotional changes, but simply asked a simple question.
”What time do we leave
?” “After dark!” Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder, “Why? Do you have classes today?”
Kuangfeng nodded calmly.
”Well, I have to ask for leave later.”
