This game is too real.
Chapter 428 The Storm That Sweeps the Desert! (Digital Chapter)
Chapter 428 The Storm That Sweeps the Desert! (Digital Chapter)
The night was dark.
In the southeastern part of Luoxia Province, twelve "Orca" transport planes galloped across the endless desert, billowing smoke and dust behind them, and quickly moved towards the No. 9 oasis.
In order not to be discovered by the people of the legion, the flying altitude of this aviation formation was kept very low, and the distance from the ground was even less than 50 meters.
Although the light blue arc is not as obvious as the air column of the fuel plane, it can be seen by anyone flying in the cloudless night sky as long as they are not blind.
Not to mention that the Legion also has aircraft and radar. Although the technical content is not high, it does not mean that there is no threat.
Especially after realizing that businesses are at war.
They are bound to send more anti-aircraft equipment, more anti-armor weapons to the front line, and even use weapons stocks that have been sealed for a century.
As long as they are not stupid.
At first, when they heard about Chu Guang's plan, the captain of the company's transportation team refused to implement it. After all, they were only a logistics team and had not received an order to enter the war zone.
In the absence of air supremacy or even fighter escort, sending a transport plane without combat effectiveness to the front line is tantamount to taking the pilot's life as a joke.
Even if you want to do this, you need the approval of the Armed Forces Department of the enterprise.
However, the time for war is fleeting. The information exchange between the alliance and the Lion Kingdom depends on pigeons, and the information exchange with enterprises depends on airplanes.
After the approval of the Armed Forces Department of the enterprise, the day lily was cold.
Fortunately, Yi Chuan and Wu Mu helped a little, and after a lot of talking and talking, they finally persuaded the stubborn transportation captain to turn a blind eye and allow the aviation formation to make an exception on the way back to make a circle—across the Luoxia line. Province borders.
However, they must be extremely careful.
Not to mention the loss of a plane or something, even if there was an extra bullet hole in the shell of the plane, it would be difficult for them to explain it to the logistics department of the Armed Forces.
As for the pilots, they didn't need to do much ideological work. When they heard that they were going to Luoxia Province, one or two of those young men cheered excitedly.
The war mobilization in Ideal City had already started before the battle in Ruigu City broke out.
Those boys who drove the transport plane came to the front line with enthusiasm, and couldn't wait to fight with those big noses.
Especially after watching that video.
inside the cabin.
Yu Brick, a boy on the construction site who was lying by the window, wanted to stuff his head into the window to see exactly what the legendary "man-made oasis" looked like.
It is said that No. 9 oasis is the largest oasis in Luoxia Province, with a total area of 10 square kilometers, which is already equivalent to a "Zhejiang Province".
However, helpless, the flying altitude was too low.
He could only see a rough outline in the night, as for what was hidden behind the lush horizon, he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Hey! Why don't we fly higher?"
Hearing this complaint, Lian Dayan, who was sitting on the seat next to him, rolled his eyes.
"Are you worried that others won't know you're coming?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, other nearby players also jumped into the conversation.
"By the way, we haven't entered the No. 9 oasis yet, right? The Legion's anti-aircraft artillery can't reach here, right?"
"That's hard to say, maybe there are anti-aircraft missiles on the opposite side, but it's just not necessary to attack ordinary survivor settlements."
"Is there a possibility that the map over there hasn't been made yet?"
"Makes sense!"
"Not necessarily, that's Ah Guang! With Ah Guang's detail, it's absolutely finished, but I just won't show it to you!"
"I am ruthless!"
There was no trace of nervousness in that "hearty" laughter, and the co-pilot in the cockpit glanced back, feeling admiration in his heart.
Worthy of being the elite of the alliance!
Just this spirit of seeing death as home, it is hard not to make him stand in awe.
At this moment, the players sitting in the cockpit are all good brothers of 200 yuan from the Death Corps.
But the equipment on them now is far more than 200 silver coins.
Not even 2 silver coins!
The "Pioneer I" military exoskeleton on them alone is worth 1.2 Cr, which is three times that of the miner series of exoskeletons!
Not to mention the infantry support weapons and individual heavy equipment carried in the cabin.
Considering that the Death Corps had experience in desert warfare, Chu Guang gave this glorious and arduous task to the edge paddling after thinking twice.
This operation was not only to help the allies share the pressure on the north, and to block the legion from obtaining supplies from the north of the River Valley Province, but also to test the new equipment imported by the alliance from the enterprise, so the equipment invested can be said to be quite luxurious.
It's almost a full set of power armor!
And because they were fighting away from the logistics supply line, each of them carried 2.5 times the standard ammunition, and everyone had an eager expression on their faces.
I have never fought such a rich battle before, and I was so excited when paddling on the edge of the water. I have been carefully staring at the map since I got on the plane, repeatedly studying the battle plan written next to the map, and getting ready for those ghosts from the west coast. Let's have a big firework show guys.
This is an opportunity he managed to snatch from the spring, and he must not disappoint the managers and everyone in the alliance!
The aviation formation crossed a cliff.
The co-pilot came over with two cups of black tea, and handed one of the cups to the head of the corps, "paddling on the edge".
"Would you like a drink, friend."
It has to be said that the technology of the enterprise does have a set.
In the state of flying close to the ground at high speed, I couldn't feel the vibration of the airflow at all, and the tea in the cup was not spilled at all.
He swiped at the edge of the water and took a look at the glass.
"Thank you...can you change me to a glass of plain water?"
Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, the co-pilot smiled and said.
"Don't worry, it's dealt with dealkalization, this tea only has a refreshing effect, it won't make you want to go to the toilet any more."
Hearing this, the edge paddling finally felt relieved, and he directly raised his head to show off, and returned the cup to the co-pilot in the surprised gaze.
Optimistically, the battle would be over before dawn, but they'd have to stay outside for a while.
There's no harm in adding more water.
Seeing the calm expression on the face of the regiment commander of the alliance, without the slightest nervousness of going deep into the enemy's rear, the co-pilot couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, and talked to him in a chatty tone.
"It seems that you already have a plan?"
Edge paddling said in a casual tone.
"Of course, according to the battle plan formulated by the headquarters overnight, we will launch an attack from the north of the military base...Cooperate with the friendly army who launched a feint attack from the south to take down the opponent's ammunition depot. If all goes well, our friendly army can get a batch of legion equipment. , and we can cut off their supplies to the north."
The co-pilot nodded.
"It's a pity that we haven't fought such a large-scale battle for a while, and we can't help you create greater advantages... This tough battle can only be done by yourself."
Paddle on the edge grinned, and closed the map with the battle plan written in his hand.
"It's okay, enough is enough!"
After chatting for a few words, the co-pilot turned and returned to the cockpit.
Not long after, the captain's reminder came on the radio.
"We are about to pass through the sandstorm area. There will be strong air currents. You'd better go back to your seats and fasten your seat belts."
"If you don't want to die before you get off the plane."
Hearing the NPC's reminder, the players left the window one after another, returned to their seats and sat down, fastening their seat belts.
Almost half a minute after the announcement, the fuselage of the plane began to vibrate violently, and the sound of howling yellow sand came through the bulkhead.
The dust storm in Luoxia Province contains a small amount of iron oxide, which can interfere with electromagnetic waves to a certain extent, and can effectively evade active detection methods such as radar and infrared heat source detection.
They are very close to the front line now.
Great care must be taken.
……
Sticking to the edge of the sandstorm, the aviation formation moved forward along an arc, circled a large circle, and landed on the back of a sand dune on the north side of the No. 9 oasis.
The cabin door slammed on the ground, splashing billows of dust. The heavily armed soldiers carried rifles on their backs, and two groups of two carried a one-meter-wide box, and quickly ran out of the cabin.
"Log in! Move fast!"
Amidst the urging sound of paddling on the edge, all equipment and personnel have been deployed in just one minute.
The light blue arc blows downwards, and the output power gradually increases, and the high-speed airflow blows the heated sand around.
Intermittent voices came from the communication channel.
"...The transport plane is about to return...Allied soldiers, I wish you good luck!"
"Got it, I wish you all a safe return!"
The twelve transport planes came and went quickly, and they didn't stay here for a moment after they were deployed. They immediately started their engines and returned in the direction they came from.
time is life.
There was also no delay in paddling on the edge, and he immediately called the brothers in the regiment to unload the equipment and supplies in the box.
Due to the limited transport capacity, 12 "Killer Whale" transport planes could only deliver half a thousand troops to the target area, so he only brought over the top five hundred elites in the regiment.
Although it is impossible to take advantage of the number, it is enough to have these brothers!
Glancing at the equipment deployed around him, and then at the exoskeleton on his body, he was full of confidence as he paddled on the edge.
"I thought we'd just jump on top of them," the construction site boy and Brick murmured as they walked over with a tricycle, "So we'll just ride this thing?"
The tires of the tricycle have been widened to better adapt to the desert terrain, and a mortar is placed in the rear box.
The shape of another tricycle not far away is even more exaggerated. A bracket is welded to the faucet, and a light machine gun is mounted on it.
120 modified folding tricycles, plus the quadcopter drones used by intelligence players, these are all equipment produced by the alliance.
The "Cerberus" quadruped robot not far away, and the "Seagull" fixed-wing drone that is being assembled were imported by the alliance from the enterprise with huge sums of money.
"Skydiving is okay, do you want to be shot like a bird by a machine gun on the ground?"
Smiling and cursing, he paddled on the edge of the water and looked at the dark figure behind him, with a serious expression on his face, he opened his mouth and said.
"Attention the captains of the centurions, take your brothers and equipment, go to the target assembly point, and wait for the signal to attack!"
"action!"
Everyone lowered their voices and answered in unison.
"Roger that!"
Except for Dayan, who was in charge of manipulating the "Seagull" fixed-wing UAV, he stayed in place with his small team members.
The rest of the players boarded the tricycle one after another, pedaled vigorously by a strength animal, and moved towards the predetermined battle position.
Sitting on the edge of the three-wheel paddle, he took a deep breath, took out the map again, and checked the battle plan.
So far everything is going smoothly as planned, but for some reason he always has a feeling of uneasiness.
Is it an illusion?
But he is a sensory system...
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the distance, piercing the silent night sky.
Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction of the explosion, their eyes filled with surprise.
"It's the military base that is the target of the mission..." The young man on the construction site and Zhuan pedaled hard for three rounds, and muttered in bewilderment, "Didn't we make an appointment to start in the early morning, why was it earlier?"
They haven't arrived yet.
There is no intercommunicating radio, and now it is impossible to communicate with the friendly army and ask them what is going on.
Frowning tightly while paddling on the edge, he suddenly thought of something, and his face changed slightly.
"What is the hour in the morning written in the planning briefing?"
"What time? Of course it's the time of Luoxia Province—" The construction site boy and Zhuan came back to their senses in an instant, and said in a daze, "Damn it, they probably used the time of the alliance?!"
It is impossible for the Army Command of the Alliance to make such a low-level mistake. The time zone must be marked with symbols on the combat plan at the same time, and corresponding conversions will be made to ensure that the plan execution time is accurate.
There is only one explanation for such an error, that is, the friendly army command made a deviation when conveying instructions to the lower levels, and misunderstood it as alliance time...
Either there is an inner ghost in the Lion Kingdom, and it is too late to pass the information back to the Falcon Kingdom, so they can only use the trick of tampering with the order to interfere with the execution of the plan.
In any case, as a result, the two sides "exchanged" time zones, causing the battle to be advanced by an hour!
Gan!
This is it!
Before he had time to laugh or cry, he swiped at the edge of the water and made a decisive decision, pressing the button of the communicator and shouting loudly.
"Attention all teams!"
"The friendly army opened fire in advance, and it was determined that the position of the friendly army was exposed in advance...Start plan C and continue to execute."
"action!"
……
Time back to 10 minutes ago.
In the dark desert.
A man in a khaki cloak is crawling on the edge of the dune, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the looming campfire in the distance.
His name is Yard Honey Badger, he is the eldest son of the Honey Badger royal family, and he is also the Marshal of the Restoration Army of the Honey Badger Kingdom.
The beard hanging on his chin was as thick as a broom. Whether it was the sharp-edged face or the muscular physique, he was very much like his father.
This is just the opposite of his younger brother Summer Honey Badger.
Glancing at the time on the watch, Yade patiently enjoyed the last peace of the night, and his thoughts could not help but drift away with the evening wind.
about two months ago.
With the support of the Legion, the Falcon Kingdom launched a surprise attack on the Honey Badger Kingdom, occupying the entire territory of the Kingdom in just one week.
His father died in the battle of defending the royal capital, and he led the remnants of the tribe, took his younger brother and sister, and withdrew to the territory of the Lion Kingdom. With the support of the Lion Royal Family, he reorganized the organization and recruited three Refugees who escaped from No. 3 Oasis formed the Restoration Army.
Originally according to his plan, he planned to launch a counterattack at the end of the year to take back the territory belonging to the royal family from the Falcon Kingdom.
however--
The vicious "vulture" didn't give them time to prepare.
At the same time that the letter of condemnation from the Three Kingdoms was sent to the Falcon Kingdom, the Falcon Kingdom did not take a breath, and then swung its troops eastward, targeting the Lion Kingdom that took them in.
The battle took a turn for the worse.
As the overlord of the desert, the Lion Kingdom, although its national strength is far above the Falcon Kingdom, but after all, the other party has tightened their belts and prepared for war for more than ten years. Coupled with the support of the Legion, the size of the standing army is on the contrary. above.
And because the Kingdom of Honey Badgers stood in front of it, the Kingdom of Lions did not have to face the threat from the west of the Great Desert, so it can be said that it was unprepared.
just now……
The arrogant kings finally paid the price for their stupidity and compromise.
They expect to feed the beast by sacrificing a lamb, but they forget that it is a jackal that cannot be fed at all.
In less than a month, the flames of war burned from oasis No. 3 to oasis No. 9. The speed of the front line was advancing so fast that the Falcon's guns were less than 100 kilometers away from the king's capital of the lion.
The Hump Kingdom and the Golden Lizard Kingdom saw that the Falcon Kingdom's offensive was so fierce that even the veteran desert overlord was helpless, and they were both frightened. They had already sent out the declaration of war report, but they dared not send troops.
Facing the coalition forces of the Falcon Kingdom and the Legion alone, the situation of the Lion Kingdom is already in jeopardy.
In order to mobilize all forces to defend the capital, the guerrillas active in the north have retreated to the south, gathering towards the banner of Prince Winter, trying to drag down the Falcon Kingdom by relying on solid offensive and defensive bunkers.
In Yard's view, this thought was as naive as a dream.
Never taking the initiative to attack means never taking the initiative. Once the guerrillas in the north withdraw to the line of defense, it means that the troops of the Falcon Kingdom and the Legion on the northern line can move forward freely without having to worry about the supply line. safety.
And expecting to bring down these wolves is even more ridiculous.
Not to mention that the Falcon Kingdom has been preparing for this day for more than ten years, just relying on the treasures looted from the No. 3 oasis is enough for them to obtain enough supplies from the east until the blood of the Lion Kingdom is drained...
However, things took a turn.
Perhaps Summer's diplomatic mediation had an effect. The overlord in the southern part of the Valley Province finally realized the threat from the west and sent troops to the desert with the support of the enterprise.
The target is the military base located in the north of the No. 9 oasis, which is said to be an important supply hub for the northern front of the Falcon Kingdom.
If this military base can be captured, it will not only defeat the attack plan of the Falcon Kingdom's northern troops, but also hope to cut off the supply line from the northern part of the River Valley Province.
However, it is a pity that the Lion Kingdom has no soldiers available in the north, and the ball was kicked to him after a quarrel.
Prince Winter hoped that the National Restoration Army of the Honey Badger Kingdom would replace the 12th and 13th thousandth troops in the original plan to go to the target area to cooperate with friendly forces to attack.
This plan is quite risky.
The targeted military base is located behind the Legion's lines, which means they will not receive any support.
Once they are dragged by the opposite side and the enemy's troops arrive, they are likely to be wiped out.
What's more, even if the enemy's reinforcements do not arrive, this mission is quite difficult.
The elite of the Legion were stationed there.
Yade, who had fought against the Legion in the No. 3 Oasis, knew better than anyone how strong the elite combat effectiveness of the Legion was.
Obviously, Prince Winter didn't want his subordinates to suffer losses for no reason, so he proposed to let the Restoration Army of the Honey Badger Kingdom go to the top, as a reward for the Lion Kingdom for raising them for more than a month.
In fact, Yade could refuse to carry out this order that almost sent him to death, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally agreed.
After all, this is likely to be an opportunity for his sister to trade her own happiness...
In addition, the overlord in the southern part of the River Valley Province had promised to hand over the captured supplies to the Lion Kingdom, and he could take advantage of this opportunity to keep the captured equipment for himself.
Anyway, those tanks are in the hands of the Lion Kingdom, and they will only be driven into the trenches by those cowards and buried with soil as turrets, rather than arming his loyal subordinates.
The Restoration Army needs those equipments.
Whether it is to regain lost ground, or to ensure an independent status!
For this reason, Yade brought almost all the elites of the National Restoration Army, gathered a team of thousands of people, and brought them here in person.
For now...
At least the intelligence is fine.
Yade took out a map from his arms, shook the sand on it, and unfolded it on the ground.
Stretching out his index finger to walk along the marked lines on the map, finally stopped on a red circle and clicked, and he muttered something softly in his mouth.
"……right here."
He was beside Yade, a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face said in a low voice.
"Are we going to attack?"
His name is Clough, he used to be the captain of the Kingdom Guards, now he is the commander of the National Restoration Army, and he is also the most brave and capable general under Yade.
"Well," Yade nodded, pointed his index finger on the map, glanced at the camp ahead shrouded in night, and continued in a low voice.
"Our friendly forces will launch an attack on the north side of the base, and before that we need to attract firepower on the south side to create a window for our friendly forces to attack."
An officer couldn't help but say.
"Do we have allies?"
Yade said in a firm voice.
"The Alliance will support us, they made a promise!"
Except for Clough's face that remained unchanged, the other officers around all looked at each other in blank dismay, falling silent by coincidence.
alliance……
This is the north side of the No. 9 oasis.
Even if it crosses the northern front of the Falcon Kingdom, it would take more than 800 kilometers to get here in a straight line from the Alliance.
The battle plan was drawn up two days ago, how could it be possible to get here in two days?
In the eyes of many people, they may have been sold by Prince Winter or someone else.
There are no allies at all.
Not everyone in the Lion Kingdom sympathized with them like the Lion Royal Family did. In the eyes of many ministers and nobles, it was precisely because they took them in that they brought disasters to the kingdom.
Those people can't wait for them to die immediately, use their corpses to delay the army's offensive on the northern front, and buy time for the mobilization of other kingdoms and the intervention of external forces...
Perhaps the kings of the desert will prevail in the end.
But they will die here.
Yade looked back at his subordinates and read the pessimism in their eyes.
After a moment of silence, he spoke in a calm voice.
"I know what you're thinking, but this is not the time to think about those things."
"There is only one chance left for us. The only thing we can do now is to believe, believe in our compatriots and brothers, believe in our brothers and sisters... believe that justice will eventually defeat evil."
"Even if we can't live to the end, our blood is soaked in yellow sand, our souls will be immortal, and we fought to the end under the watchful eye of the spirit of the sand sea."
Pairs of pupils were rewritten with firmness.
There was no longer a face where doubt could be seen.
"The spirit of the sand sea will be with me."
Putting his palm on his forehead, Yade, who got up from the ground, returned to the reverse slope of the dune, and patted the shoulders of his subordinates lightly.
"Go, warriors of the kingdom, dig trenches through our chests, load our muskets, set up our 'cannons'—give those ugly ghouls a look."
"Even if we are buried here today, don't let our allies look down on us!"
……
A few kilometers away, there are sporadic lights in the camp.
The sentinel standing on the sentry tower couldn't help but yawned, counting the time until the shift change.
This is Camp No. 350, the logistics transfer base of the Northern Army Group.
Although the strategic value here is so important that General Griffin sent heavy troops to guard it, but so far, the soldiers stationed here have not fought a single battle.
The only thing they can do every day is to bathe in the sand, or look at the cacti in the distance in a daze.
Rather than wasting their lives here, they would rather go to the front line, at least have a chance to shoot.
Instead of talking to the sand to pass the time like now.
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion of cracking rocks in the distance, which startled the sentinel on duty and subconsciously squatted behind the guardrail.
Before he could recover, a gas tank dragging white smoke drew five thick and long parabolas in the air, and landed heavily in the camp.
"boom--!"
Following the loud bangs of landslides and ground cracks, five groups of flames exploded in the silent military base in an instant.
The ear-piercing alarm bell rang, and amidst the sound of the alarm, the sleeping soldiers got up from their beds one after another, carrying their equipment and heading to the battle position to assemble.
Putting the helmet on his head, a centurion walked to the side of the post, grabbed a sentry, and asked with saliva.
"What happened just now!"
The sentry should be a newcomer, he stood up nervously and spoke quickly.
"Report! It's the local artillery of the guerrillas!"
That kind of soil cannon made of gas tanks is very common in Luoxia Province, second only to the cast iron cannon that needs a broom to clean the rifling.
Generally speaking, the residents in the desert would put some explosives made of white sugar in iron cans, and then mix some iron nails or sand into it.Although the power of this kind of bomb is not as powerful as that of Hesorkin or Tun T, it is superior in that the materials are cheap and easy to make, and a small workshop can make a lot of them.
What the oasis in Luoxia Province lacks most is food, especially sugarcane for sugar production.
A "gas tank" bomb with a charge of 500 kilograms, even the Conqueror tank has to panic.
Of course, the premise is that it just hit the top cover of the turret...
After all, the soldiers of the legion were well-trained, and they quickly recovered from the initial panic.
Two 10-man teams had already run into the bomb shelter where the mortars were placed, and launched a counter-attack based on the approximate firepower observed by the sentry tower.
Awakened by the thunderous sound of cannons, Piman, the commander in chief of the thousand-man team, quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the barracks.
He didn't panic after roughly guessing what happened, he calmly called a centurion and gave him an order.
"The shells came from the south, the distance is about 5 kilometers, take your people to show those guys some color!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the centurion stood at attention neatly and gave a military salute, then ran to the side barracks without any delay, beckoning his subordinates to go down.
Looking at the direction he left, Piman frowned slightly, and took out a cigarette from his pocket to light it.
Just guerrillas.
It's not worth his attention.
The power of the five gas tanks just now seemed to be great, and the sound was indeed loud enough, but in fact, they didn't hurt a few people, but just blown up a few sandbags.
The explosion-proof bunkers placed in the camp greatly restricted the spread of shock waves and explosion fragments on the longitudinal plane, and most of the power went up into the sky in a cone-shaped plane.
The kind of thing that fired a whole centurion with one heavy cannon could only happen to the Royal Army of the Lion Kingdom.
Even the retinues trained by them know how to preserve themselves to the maximum extent during shelling.
The only thing Piman couldn't figure out was...
With so many military bases, why did the people from the Lion Kingdom choose this place?
Is it a coincidence?
Or was the information leaked...
At this time, an officer in military uniform was walking quickly towards this side with an angry expression on his face.
Piman knew that person, that guy was the deputy to the Chief of Logistics of the Northern Army Group, his name was Antonite, and he came here to inspect the work two days ago.
At the same time, check the inventory in the warehouse.
This guy is very cautious, even to the point of nervousness, every box has to be opened and inspected, as if who cares about those few bullets.
Piman noticed that the socks on his left foot were not worn, and a piece of dust was printed on his left knee. He must have fallen off the bed.
"What happened just now?" Antony said angrily, "I need an explanation!"
Piman held back his smile, and said comfortingly.
"Small problem, it's just a sneak attack by the guerrillas."
"Guerrillas? Didn't those people withdraw?" Anthony frowned.
"Maybe they're back again, who knows." Piman patted the logistics officer on the shoulder, and said with a calm smile, "Don't be nervous, my friend, it's just a group of young people, and it will be resolved soon."
Anthony stared at him warningly.
"I advise you to be more serious. The equipment stored in the warehouse is related to the next offensive plan of the entire northern front! If you delay General Griffin's plan, you will know the consequences!"
Looking at the serious logistics officer, Piman laughed.
"Don't worry, buddy, I know the consequences, my subordinates will be very careful to find out those rats... But then again, for the sake of safety, I have to trouble you and me to hide in the explosion-proof bunker for a while. Those savages are Throwing stones in incompetence and fury, it would be too wrong to be hit by their stones."
Knowing that it was useless to be anxious, Antoni nodded calmly, and followed him to the explosion-proof bunker.
The reloading speed of the gas tank shells was very slow, and the second round of shells was not seen after several minutes.
On the contrary, in the legion camp, eight mortars were firing continuously. After projecting three rounds of regional firepower to suppress the general position of the target, they fired another round of flares into the air, lighting up a desert in the south. It became day.
The "Weasel" reconnaissance vehicle that took the lead has already locked the source of firepower.
Under the guidance of the commander, four 20mm heavy machine guns and eight 8mm machine guns deployed on the south side of the camp pointed at the sky and fired in unison, straddling the position of the Zonguo Army.
One after another tracers flashed in the night sky, and large-caliber bullets poured down from the air like a goddess scattering flowers, covering the artillery positions scattered behind the sand dunes.
The gas tanks had just been placed on the triangular brackets, and before they could be ignited, the gunners standing beside them were killed and injured instantly.
Only a few experienced veterans rolled desperately into the bomb shelter beside them, and managed to save their lives.
However, beyond-horizon shooting is only the beginning.
With the assistance of the reconnaissance vehicle, the mortar squad in the military base re-corrected the coordinates of the bombardment, guiding the counter artillery fire to land precisely on the top of the Zionist Army.
At the same time, a 4-man infantry team has completed its assembly, boarded [-] light tracked trucks in batches, and killed the past in a mighty manner.
Be dazed by the constant bombardment.
Yade, who was squatting in the trench, raised his rifle and fired outwards to resist, trying to suppress the four pairs of headlights far away, while shouting loudly at the comrades beside him.
"hold onto!"
"Hold here at all costs!"
"Your Highness, their firepower is too fierce!" A centurion squatting not far away had a hint of despair in his hoarse roar.
Regardless of the density or power of firepower, the military base five kilometers away exceeded their expectations.
In just 10 minutes...
The artillery position was completely wiped out, and the infantry casualties had already exceeded [-]. The situation was in jeopardy, but the support of the friendly army had not arrived for a long time.
Yade clenched his teeth, his veined fists wanted to crush the grip of the rifle.
"Then I have to support it!"
Without sufficient support firepower and reliable anti-armor means, they can only squat here and be beaten passively.
But even so, he was still willing to believe in the one in ten thousand possibility.
Their allies will not betray him, Alliance reinforcements are here!
And then it's time for them to counterattack!
Even if he retreated [-] steps, he made a wrong bet, Prince Winter deceived him, and the alliance's reinforcements never existed from the very beginning...
Die on the way to attack.
It's better than dying uselessly in a bomb shelter!
A military base in the distance.
The sentries on the sentry tower looked at the flames in the distance and clicked their tongues.
"Tsk tsk... I can already smell the smell of barbecue."
"Anyway, I can't find anything worthwhile. Let those humming beasts clean up the battlefield later."
"A whole team of thousands of people, they really dare to send it off."
A sentinel said with a smile.
"Who knows? Maybe I know I can't win, so I want to take a gamble."
Another sentry shrugged and quipped.
"Unfortunately they picked the wrong person."
On the other side, inside the concrete-reinforced artillery bunker.
Knowing from the communication channel that the frontline troops were about to meet the enemy, Piman raised his arm and glanced at his watch, reckoning that the battle should be almost over.
Then, he looked at Antoni next to him, and said in a joking tone.
"Let's make a bet."
"What's the bet?" Antony replied absent-mindedly. He had been feeling restless since just now.
Why was it attacked here?
The timing was too coincidental.
And if it is assumed that the opponent already knows the strategic value of this military base, the offensive strength they displayed is a bit too perfunctory.
With all due respect.
The combat power displayed by those people was not much stronger than cannon fodder, it was as if it was sent up for them to bite.
Maybe he was thinking too much, but he couldn't think of the meaning of those people's attacks other than death?
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and Piman said happily as he looked at Antonyette, who was frowning.
"Just bet...whether my people can get rid of those little guys five kilometers away within five minutes."
Antony raised his eyebrows up, and was about to say something, when suddenly a deafening explosion came from outside the explosion-proof bunker, and together with the shaking from the ground, his train of thought was interrupted.
Holding on to the wall, Antoni, who appeared to be unsteady, looked out the observation window, but only saw the thick smoke drifting away, but did not see where it exploded.
He cursed angrily, hiding the imperceptible panic on his face.
"Damn it, why are bombs still falling here!"
Piman's face was also full of surprise, and it didn't take long for the surprise to gradually turn into a trace of panic, and he opened and closed his lips softly.
"...No, that voice is definitely not a guerrilla gun!"
There was no sign of the slightest sign, not even the whistling of shells piercing the air!
The two explosions sounded almost simultaneously and unerringly knocked out his mortar emplacement.
Obviously that's not the firepower projected by the curve.
Instead, it fell almost vertically from the air!
The Kingdom of Lions has no planes.
So there is only one possibility——
"What is that?" Antoni stared at him blankly, waiting for an answer.
However, Piman did not respond to his expectations, but rushed to the table like crazy, and grabbed the phone on the table.
Quickly dialing down a few buttons with his index finger, he could no longer see the expression of ease on his face, and roared out with almost all his strength.
"...Call the frontline Air Command, this is the 530 military base, we are under air attack!"
"Here needs support!"
(End of this chapter)
The night was dark.
In the southeastern part of Luoxia Province, twelve "Orca" transport planes galloped across the endless desert, billowing smoke and dust behind them, and quickly moved towards the No. 9 oasis.
In order not to be discovered by the people of the legion, the flying altitude of this aviation formation was kept very low, and the distance from the ground was even less than 50 meters.
Although the light blue arc is not as obvious as the air column of the fuel plane, it can be seen by anyone flying in the cloudless night sky as long as they are not blind.
Not to mention that the Legion also has aircraft and radar. Although the technical content is not high, it does not mean that there is no threat.
Especially after realizing that businesses are at war.
They are bound to send more anti-aircraft equipment, more anti-armor weapons to the front line, and even use weapons stocks that have been sealed for a century.
As long as they are not stupid.
At first, when they heard about Chu Guang's plan, the captain of the company's transportation team refused to implement it. After all, they were only a logistics team and had not received an order to enter the war zone.
In the absence of air supremacy or even fighter escort, sending a transport plane without combat effectiveness to the front line is tantamount to taking the pilot's life as a joke.
Even if you want to do this, you need the approval of the Armed Forces Department of the enterprise.
However, the time for war is fleeting. The information exchange between the alliance and the Lion Kingdom depends on pigeons, and the information exchange with enterprises depends on airplanes.
After the approval of the Armed Forces Department of the enterprise, the day lily was cold.
Fortunately, Yi Chuan and Wu Mu helped a little, and after a lot of talking and talking, they finally persuaded the stubborn transportation captain to turn a blind eye and allow the aviation formation to make an exception on the way back to make a circle—across the Luoxia line. Province borders.
However, they must be extremely careful.
Not to mention the loss of a plane or something, even if there was an extra bullet hole in the shell of the plane, it would be difficult for them to explain it to the logistics department of the Armed Forces.
As for the pilots, they didn't need to do much ideological work. When they heard that they were going to Luoxia Province, one or two of those young men cheered excitedly.
The war mobilization in Ideal City had already started before the battle in Ruigu City broke out.
Those boys who drove the transport plane came to the front line with enthusiasm, and couldn't wait to fight with those big noses.
Especially after watching that video.
inside the cabin.
Yu Brick, a boy on the construction site who was lying by the window, wanted to stuff his head into the window to see exactly what the legendary "man-made oasis" looked like.
It is said that No. 9 oasis is the largest oasis in Luoxia Province, with a total area of 10 square kilometers, which is already equivalent to a "Zhejiang Province".
However, helpless, the flying altitude was too low.
He could only see a rough outline in the night, as for what was hidden behind the lush horizon, he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Hey! Why don't we fly higher?"
Hearing this complaint, Lian Dayan, who was sitting on the seat next to him, rolled his eyes.
"Are you worried that others won't know you're coming?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, other nearby players also jumped into the conversation.
"By the way, we haven't entered the No. 9 oasis yet, right? The Legion's anti-aircraft artillery can't reach here, right?"
"That's hard to say, maybe there are anti-aircraft missiles on the opposite side, but it's just not necessary to attack ordinary survivor settlements."
"Is there a possibility that the map over there hasn't been made yet?"
"Makes sense!"
"Not necessarily, that's Ah Guang! With Ah Guang's detail, it's absolutely finished, but I just won't show it to you!"
"I am ruthless!"
There was no trace of nervousness in that "hearty" laughter, and the co-pilot in the cockpit glanced back, feeling admiration in his heart.
Worthy of being the elite of the alliance!
Just this spirit of seeing death as home, it is hard not to make him stand in awe.
At this moment, the players sitting in the cockpit are all good brothers of 200 yuan from the Death Corps.
But the equipment on them now is far more than 200 silver coins.
Not even 2 silver coins!
The "Pioneer I" military exoskeleton on them alone is worth 1.2 Cr, which is three times that of the miner series of exoskeletons!
Not to mention the infantry support weapons and individual heavy equipment carried in the cabin.
Considering that the Death Corps had experience in desert warfare, Chu Guang gave this glorious and arduous task to the edge paddling after thinking twice.
This operation was not only to help the allies share the pressure on the north, and to block the legion from obtaining supplies from the north of the River Valley Province, but also to test the new equipment imported by the alliance from the enterprise, so the equipment invested can be said to be quite luxurious.
It's almost a full set of power armor!
And because they were fighting away from the logistics supply line, each of them carried 2.5 times the standard ammunition, and everyone had an eager expression on their faces.
I have never fought such a rich battle before, and I was so excited when paddling on the edge of the water. I have been carefully staring at the map since I got on the plane, repeatedly studying the battle plan written next to the map, and getting ready for those ghosts from the west coast. Let's have a big firework show guys.
This is an opportunity he managed to snatch from the spring, and he must not disappoint the managers and everyone in the alliance!
The aviation formation crossed a cliff.
The co-pilot came over with two cups of black tea, and handed one of the cups to the head of the corps, "paddling on the edge".
"Would you like a drink, friend."
It has to be said that the technology of the enterprise does have a set.
In the state of flying close to the ground at high speed, I couldn't feel the vibration of the airflow at all, and the tea in the cup was not spilled at all.
He swiped at the edge of the water and took a look at the glass.
"Thank you...can you change me to a glass of plain water?"
Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, the co-pilot smiled and said.
"Don't worry, it's dealt with dealkalization, this tea only has a refreshing effect, it won't make you want to go to the toilet any more."
Hearing this, the edge paddling finally felt relieved, and he directly raised his head to show off, and returned the cup to the co-pilot in the surprised gaze.
Optimistically, the battle would be over before dawn, but they'd have to stay outside for a while.
There's no harm in adding more water.
Seeing the calm expression on the face of the regiment commander of the alliance, without the slightest nervousness of going deep into the enemy's rear, the co-pilot couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, and talked to him in a chatty tone.
"It seems that you already have a plan?"
Edge paddling said in a casual tone.
"Of course, according to the battle plan formulated by the headquarters overnight, we will launch an attack from the north of the military base...Cooperate with the friendly army who launched a feint attack from the south to take down the opponent's ammunition depot. If all goes well, our friendly army can get a batch of legion equipment. , and we can cut off their supplies to the north."
The co-pilot nodded.
"It's a pity that we haven't fought such a large-scale battle for a while, and we can't help you create greater advantages... This tough battle can only be done by yourself."
Paddle on the edge grinned, and closed the map with the battle plan written in his hand.
"It's okay, enough is enough!"
After chatting for a few words, the co-pilot turned and returned to the cockpit.
Not long after, the captain's reminder came on the radio.
"We are about to pass through the sandstorm area. There will be strong air currents. You'd better go back to your seats and fasten your seat belts."
"If you don't want to die before you get off the plane."
Hearing the NPC's reminder, the players left the window one after another, returned to their seats and sat down, fastening their seat belts.
Almost half a minute after the announcement, the fuselage of the plane began to vibrate violently, and the sound of howling yellow sand came through the bulkhead.
The dust storm in Luoxia Province contains a small amount of iron oxide, which can interfere with electromagnetic waves to a certain extent, and can effectively evade active detection methods such as radar and infrared heat source detection.
They are very close to the front line now.
Great care must be taken.
……
Sticking to the edge of the sandstorm, the aviation formation moved forward along an arc, circled a large circle, and landed on the back of a sand dune on the north side of the No. 9 oasis.
The cabin door slammed on the ground, splashing billows of dust. The heavily armed soldiers carried rifles on their backs, and two groups of two carried a one-meter-wide box, and quickly ran out of the cabin.
"Log in! Move fast!"
Amidst the urging sound of paddling on the edge, all equipment and personnel have been deployed in just one minute.
The light blue arc blows downwards, and the output power gradually increases, and the high-speed airflow blows the heated sand around.
Intermittent voices came from the communication channel.
"...The transport plane is about to return...Allied soldiers, I wish you good luck!"
"Got it, I wish you all a safe return!"
The twelve transport planes came and went quickly, and they didn't stay here for a moment after they were deployed. They immediately started their engines and returned in the direction they came from.
time is life.
There was also no delay in paddling on the edge, and he immediately called the brothers in the regiment to unload the equipment and supplies in the box.
Due to the limited transport capacity, 12 "Killer Whale" transport planes could only deliver half a thousand troops to the target area, so he only brought over the top five hundred elites in the regiment.
Although it is impossible to take advantage of the number, it is enough to have these brothers!
Glancing at the equipment deployed around him, and then at the exoskeleton on his body, he was full of confidence as he paddled on the edge.
"I thought we'd just jump on top of them," the construction site boy and Brick murmured as they walked over with a tricycle, "So we'll just ride this thing?"
The tires of the tricycle have been widened to better adapt to the desert terrain, and a mortar is placed in the rear box.
The shape of another tricycle not far away is even more exaggerated. A bracket is welded to the faucet, and a light machine gun is mounted on it.
120 modified folding tricycles, plus the quadcopter drones used by intelligence players, these are all equipment produced by the alliance.
The "Cerberus" quadruped robot not far away, and the "Seagull" fixed-wing drone that is being assembled were imported by the alliance from the enterprise with huge sums of money.
"Skydiving is okay, do you want to be shot like a bird by a machine gun on the ground?"
Smiling and cursing, he paddled on the edge of the water and looked at the dark figure behind him, with a serious expression on his face, he opened his mouth and said.
"Attention the captains of the centurions, take your brothers and equipment, go to the target assembly point, and wait for the signal to attack!"
"action!"
Everyone lowered their voices and answered in unison.
"Roger that!"
Except for Dayan, who was in charge of manipulating the "Seagull" fixed-wing UAV, he stayed in place with his small team members.
The rest of the players boarded the tricycle one after another, pedaled vigorously by a strength animal, and moved towards the predetermined battle position.
Sitting on the edge of the three-wheel paddle, he took a deep breath, took out the map again, and checked the battle plan.
So far everything is going smoothly as planned, but for some reason he always has a feeling of uneasiness.
Is it an illusion?
But he is a sensory system...
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the distance, piercing the silent night sky.
Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction of the explosion, their eyes filled with surprise.
"It's the military base that is the target of the mission..." The young man on the construction site and Zhuan pedaled hard for three rounds, and muttered in bewilderment, "Didn't we make an appointment to start in the early morning, why was it earlier?"
They haven't arrived yet.
There is no intercommunicating radio, and now it is impossible to communicate with the friendly army and ask them what is going on.
Frowning tightly while paddling on the edge, he suddenly thought of something, and his face changed slightly.
"What is the hour in the morning written in the planning briefing?"
"What time? Of course it's the time of Luoxia Province—" The construction site boy and Zhuan came back to their senses in an instant, and said in a daze, "Damn it, they probably used the time of the alliance?!"
It is impossible for the Army Command of the Alliance to make such a low-level mistake. The time zone must be marked with symbols on the combat plan at the same time, and corresponding conversions will be made to ensure that the plan execution time is accurate.
There is only one explanation for such an error, that is, the friendly army command made a deviation when conveying instructions to the lower levels, and misunderstood it as alliance time...
Either there is an inner ghost in the Lion Kingdom, and it is too late to pass the information back to the Falcon Kingdom, so they can only use the trick of tampering with the order to interfere with the execution of the plan.
In any case, as a result, the two sides "exchanged" time zones, causing the battle to be advanced by an hour!
Gan!
This is it!
Before he had time to laugh or cry, he swiped at the edge of the water and made a decisive decision, pressing the button of the communicator and shouting loudly.
"Attention all teams!"
"The friendly army opened fire in advance, and it was determined that the position of the friendly army was exposed in advance...Start plan C and continue to execute."
"action!"
……
Time back to 10 minutes ago.
In the dark desert.
A man in a khaki cloak is crawling on the edge of the dune, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the looming campfire in the distance.
His name is Yard Honey Badger, he is the eldest son of the Honey Badger royal family, and he is also the Marshal of the Restoration Army of the Honey Badger Kingdom.
The beard hanging on his chin was as thick as a broom. Whether it was the sharp-edged face or the muscular physique, he was very much like his father.
This is just the opposite of his younger brother Summer Honey Badger.
Glancing at the time on the watch, Yade patiently enjoyed the last peace of the night, and his thoughts could not help but drift away with the evening wind.
about two months ago.
With the support of the Legion, the Falcon Kingdom launched a surprise attack on the Honey Badger Kingdom, occupying the entire territory of the Kingdom in just one week.
His father died in the battle of defending the royal capital, and he led the remnants of the tribe, took his younger brother and sister, and withdrew to the territory of the Lion Kingdom. With the support of the Lion Royal Family, he reorganized the organization and recruited three Refugees who escaped from No. 3 Oasis formed the Restoration Army.
Originally according to his plan, he planned to launch a counterattack at the end of the year to take back the territory belonging to the royal family from the Falcon Kingdom.
however--
The vicious "vulture" didn't give them time to prepare.
At the same time that the letter of condemnation from the Three Kingdoms was sent to the Falcon Kingdom, the Falcon Kingdom did not take a breath, and then swung its troops eastward, targeting the Lion Kingdom that took them in.
The battle took a turn for the worse.
As the overlord of the desert, the Lion Kingdom, although its national strength is far above the Falcon Kingdom, but after all, the other party has tightened their belts and prepared for war for more than ten years. Coupled with the support of the Legion, the size of the standing army is on the contrary. above.
And because the Kingdom of Honey Badgers stood in front of it, the Kingdom of Lions did not have to face the threat from the west of the Great Desert, so it can be said that it was unprepared.
just now……
The arrogant kings finally paid the price for their stupidity and compromise.
They expect to feed the beast by sacrificing a lamb, but they forget that it is a jackal that cannot be fed at all.
In less than a month, the flames of war burned from oasis No. 3 to oasis No. 9. The speed of the front line was advancing so fast that the Falcon's guns were less than 100 kilometers away from the king's capital of the lion.
The Hump Kingdom and the Golden Lizard Kingdom saw that the Falcon Kingdom's offensive was so fierce that even the veteran desert overlord was helpless, and they were both frightened. They had already sent out the declaration of war report, but they dared not send troops.
Facing the coalition forces of the Falcon Kingdom and the Legion alone, the situation of the Lion Kingdom is already in jeopardy.
In order to mobilize all forces to defend the capital, the guerrillas active in the north have retreated to the south, gathering towards the banner of Prince Winter, trying to drag down the Falcon Kingdom by relying on solid offensive and defensive bunkers.
In Yard's view, this thought was as naive as a dream.
Never taking the initiative to attack means never taking the initiative. Once the guerrillas in the north withdraw to the line of defense, it means that the troops of the Falcon Kingdom and the Legion on the northern line can move forward freely without having to worry about the supply line. safety.
And expecting to bring down these wolves is even more ridiculous.
Not to mention that the Falcon Kingdom has been preparing for this day for more than ten years, just relying on the treasures looted from the No. 3 oasis is enough for them to obtain enough supplies from the east until the blood of the Lion Kingdom is drained...
However, things took a turn.
Perhaps Summer's diplomatic mediation had an effect. The overlord in the southern part of the Valley Province finally realized the threat from the west and sent troops to the desert with the support of the enterprise.
The target is the military base located in the north of the No. 9 oasis, which is said to be an important supply hub for the northern front of the Falcon Kingdom.
If this military base can be captured, it will not only defeat the attack plan of the Falcon Kingdom's northern troops, but also hope to cut off the supply line from the northern part of the River Valley Province.
However, it is a pity that the Lion Kingdom has no soldiers available in the north, and the ball was kicked to him after a quarrel.
Prince Winter hoped that the National Restoration Army of the Honey Badger Kingdom would replace the 12th and 13th thousandth troops in the original plan to go to the target area to cooperate with friendly forces to attack.
This plan is quite risky.
The targeted military base is located behind the Legion's lines, which means they will not receive any support.
Once they are dragged by the opposite side and the enemy's troops arrive, they are likely to be wiped out.
What's more, even if the enemy's reinforcements do not arrive, this mission is quite difficult.
The elite of the Legion were stationed there.
Yade, who had fought against the Legion in the No. 3 Oasis, knew better than anyone how strong the elite combat effectiveness of the Legion was.
Obviously, Prince Winter didn't want his subordinates to suffer losses for no reason, so he proposed to let the Restoration Army of the Honey Badger Kingdom go to the top, as a reward for the Lion Kingdom for raising them for more than a month.
In fact, Yade could refuse to carry out this order that almost sent him to death, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally agreed.
After all, this is likely to be an opportunity for his sister to trade her own happiness...
In addition, the overlord in the southern part of the River Valley Province had promised to hand over the captured supplies to the Lion Kingdom, and he could take advantage of this opportunity to keep the captured equipment for himself.
Anyway, those tanks are in the hands of the Lion Kingdom, and they will only be driven into the trenches by those cowards and buried with soil as turrets, rather than arming his loyal subordinates.
The Restoration Army needs those equipments.
Whether it is to regain lost ground, or to ensure an independent status!
For this reason, Yade brought almost all the elites of the National Restoration Army, gathered a team of thousands of people, and brought them here in person.
For now...
At least the intelligence is fine.
Yade took out a map from his arms, shook the sand on it, and unfolded it on the ground.
Stretching out his index finger to walk along the marked lines on the map, finally stopped on a red circle and clicked, and he muttered something softly in his mouth.
"……right here."
He was beside Yade, a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face said in a low voice.
"Are we going to attack?"
His name is Clough, he used to be the captain of the Kingdom Guards, now he is the commander of the National Restoration Army, and he is also the most brave and capable general under Yade.
"Well," Yade nodded, pointed his index finger on the map, glanced at the camp ahead shrouded in night, and continued in a low voice.
"Our friendly forces will launch an attack on the north side of the base, and before that we need to attract firepower on the south side to create a window for our friendly forces to attack."
An officer couldn't help but say.
"Do we have allies?"
Yade said in a firm voice.
"The Alliance will support us, they made a promise!"
Except for Clough's face that remained unchanged, the other officers around all looked at each other in blank dismay, falling silent by coincidence.
alliance……
This is the north side of the No. 9 oasis.
Even if it crosses the northern front of the Falcon Kingdom, it would take more than 800 kilometers to get here in a straight line from the Alliance.
The battle plan was drawn up two days ago, how could it be possible to get here in two days?
In the eyes of many people, they may have been sold by Prince Winter or someone else.
There are no allies at all.
Not everyone in the Lion Kingdom sympathized with them like the Lion Royal Family did. In the eyes of many ministers and nobles, it was precisely because they took them in that they brought disasters to the kingdom.
Those people can't wait for them to die immediately, use their corpses to delay the army's offensive on the northern front, and buy time for the mobilization of other kingdoms and the intervention of external forces...
Perhaps the kings of the desert will prevail in the end.
But they will die here.
Yade looked back at his subordinates and read the pessimism in their eyes.
After a moment of silence, he spoke in a calm voice.
"I know what you're thinking, but this is not the time to think about those things."
"There is only one chance left for us. The only thing we can do now is to believe, believe in our compatriots and brothers, believe in our brothers and sisters... believe that justice will eventually defeat evil."
"Even if we can't live to the end, our blood is soaked in yellow sand, our souls will be immortal, and we fought to the end under the watchful eye of the spirit of the sand sea."
Pairs of pupils were rewritten with firmness.
There was no longer a face where doubt could be seen.
"The spirit of the sand sea will be with me."
Putting his palm on his forehead, Yade, who got up from the ground, returned to the reverse slope of the dune, and patted the shoulders of his subordinates lightly.
"Go, warriors of the kingdom, dig trenches through our chests, load our muskets, set up our 'cannons'—give those ugly ghouls a look."
"Even if we are buried here today, don't let our allies look down on us!"
……
A few kilometers away, there are sporadic lights in the camp.
The sentinel standing on the sentry tower couldn't help but yawned, counting the time until the shift change.
This is Camp No. 350, the logistics transfer base of the Northern Army Group.
Although the strategic value here is so important that General Griffin sent heavy troops to guard it, but so far, the soldiers stationed here have not fought a single battle.
The only thing they can do every day is to bathe in the sand, or look at the cacti in the distance in a daze.
Rather than wasting their lives here, they would rather go to the front line, at least have a chance to shoot.
Instead of talking to the sand to pass the time like now.
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion of cracking rocks in the distance, which startled the sentinel on duty and subconsciously squatted behind the guardrail.
Before he could recover, a gas tank dragging white smoke drew five thick and long parabolas in the air, and landed heavily in the camp.
"boom--!"
Following the loud bangs of landslides and ground cracks, five groups of flames exploded in the silent military base in an instant.
The ear-piercing alarm bell rang, and amidst the sound of the alarm, the sleeping soldiers got up from their beds one after another, carrying their equipment and heading to the battle position to assemble.
Putting the helmet on his head, a centurion walked to the side of the post, grabbed a sentry, and asked with saliva.
"What happened just now!"
The sentry should be a newcomer, he stood up nervously and spoke quickly.
"Report! It's the local artillery of the guerrillas!"
That kind of soil cannon made of gas tanks is very common in Luoxia Province, second only to the cast iron cannon that needs a broom to clean the rifling.
Generally speaking, the residents in the desert would put some explosives made of white sugar in iron cans, and then mix some iron nails or sand into it.Although the power of this kind of bomb is not as powerful as that of Hesorkin or Tun T, it is superior in that the materials are cheap and easy to make, and a small workshop can make a lot of them.
What the oasis in Luoxia Province lacks most is food, especially sugarcane for sugar production.
A "gas tank" bomb with a charge of 500 kilograms, even the Conqueror tank has to panic.
Of course, the premise is that it just hit the top cover of the turret...
After all, the soldiers of the legion were well-trained, and they quickly recovered from the initial panic.
Two 10-man teams had already run into the bomb shelter where the mortars were placed, and launched a counter-attack based on the approximate firepower observed by the sentry tower.
Awakened by the thunderous sound of cannons, Piman, the commander in chief of the thousand-man team, quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the barracks.
He didn't panic after roughly guessing what happened, he calmly called a centurion and gave him an order.
"The shells came from the south, the distance is about 5 kilometers, take your people to show those guys some color!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the centurion stood at attention neatly and gave a military salute, then ran to the side barracks without any delay, beckoning his subordinates to go down.
Looking at the direction he left, Piman frowned slightly, and took out a cigarette from his pocket to light it.
Just guerrillas.
It's not worth his attention.
The power of the five gas tanks just now seemed to be great, and the sound was indeed loud enough, but in fact, they didn't hurt a few people, but just blown up a few sandbags.
The explosion-proof bunkers placed in the camp greatly restricted the spread of shock waves and explosion fragments on the longitudinal plane, and most of the power went up into the sky in a cone-shaped plane.
The kind of thing that fired a whole centurion with one heavy cannon could only happen to the Royal Army of the Lion Kingdom.
Even the retinues trained by them know how to preserve themselves to the maximum extent during shelling.
The only thing Piman couldn't figure out was...
With so many military bases, why did the people from the Lion Kingdom choose this place?
Is it a coincidence?
Or was the information leaked...
At this time, an officer in military uniform was walking quickly towards this side with an angry expression on his face.
Piman knew that person, that guy was the deputy to the Chief of Logistics of the Northern Army Group, his name was Antonite, and he came here to inspect the work two days ago.
At the same time, check the inventory in the warehouse.
This guy is very cautious, even to the point of nervousness, every box has to be opened and inspected, as if who cares about those few bullets.
Piman noticed that the socks on his left foot were not worn, and a piece of dust was printed on his left knee. He must have fallen off the bed.
"What happened just now?" Antony said angrily, "I need an explanation!"
Piman held back his smile, and said comfortingly.
"Small problem, it's just a sneak attack by the guerrillas."
"Guerrillas? Didn't those people withdraw?" Anthony frowned.
"Maybe they're back again, who knows." Piman patted the logistics officer on the shoulder, and said with a calm smile, "Don't be nervous, my friend, it's just a group of young people, and it will be resolved soon."
Anthony stared at him warningly.
"I advise you to be more serious. The equipment stored in the warehouse is related to the next offensive plan of the entire northern front! If you delay General Griffin's plan, you will know the consequences!"
Looking at the serious logistics officer, Piman laughed.
"Don't worry, buddy, I know the consequences, my subordinates will be very careful to find out those rats... But then again, for the sake of safety, I have to trouble you and me to hide in the explosion-proof bunker for a while. Those savages are Throwing stones in incompetence and fury, it would be too wrong to be hit by their stones."
Knowing that it was useless to be anxious, Antoni nodded calmly, and followed him to the explosion-proof bunker.
The reloading speed of the gas tank shells was very slow, and the second round of shells was not seen after several minutes.
On the contrary, in the legion camp, eight mortars were firing continuously. After projecting three rounds of regional firepower to suppress the general position of the target, they fired another round of flares into the air, lighting up a desert in the south. It became day.
The "Weasel" reconnaissance vehicle that took the lead has already locked the source of firepower.
Under the guidance of the commander, four 20mm heavy machine guns and eight 8mm machine guns deployed on the south side of the camp pointed at the sky and fired in unison, straddling the position of the Zonguo Army.
One after another tracers flashed in the night sky, and large-caliber bullets poured down from the air like a goddess scattering flowers, covering the artillery positions scattered behind the sand dunes.
The gas tanks had just been placed on the triangular brackets, and before they could be ignited, the gunners standing beside them were killed and injured instantly.
Only a few experienced veterans rolled desperately into the bomb shelter beside them, and managed to save their lives.
However, beyond-horizon shooting is only the beginning.
With the assistance of the reconnaissance vehicle, the mortar squad in the military base re-corrected the coordinates of the bombardment, guiding the counter artillery fire to land precisely on the top of the Zionist Army.
At the same time, a 4-man infantry team has completed its assembly, boarded [-] light tracked trucks in batches, and killed the past in a mighty manner.
Be dazed by the constant bombardment.
Yade, who was squatting in the trench, raised his rifle and fired outwards to resist, trying to suppress the four pairs of headlights far away, while shouting loudly at the comrades beside him.
"hold onto!"
"Hold here at all costs!"
"Your Highness, their firepower is too fierce!" A centurion squatting not far away had a hint of despair in his hoarse roar.
Regardless of the density or power of firepower, the military base five kilometers away exceeded their expectations.
In just 10 minutes...
The artillery position was completely wiped out, and the infantry casualties had already exceeded [-]. The situation was in jeopardy, but the support of the friendly army had not arrived for a long time.
Yade clenched his teeth, his veined fists wanted to crush the grip of the rifle.
"Then I have to support it!"
Without sufficient support firepower and reliable anti-armor means, they can only squat here and be beaten passively.
But even so, he was still willing to believe in the one in ten thousand possibility.
Their allies will not betray him, Alliance reinforcements are here!
And then it's time for them to counterattack!
Even if he retreated [-] steps, he made a wrong bet, Prince Winter deceived him, and the alliance's reinforcements never existed from the very beginning...
Die on the way to attack.
It's better than dying uselessly in a bomb shelter!
A military base in the distance.
The sentries on the sentry tower looked at the flames in the distance and clicked their tongues.
"Tsk tsk... I can already smell the smell of barbecue."
"Anyway, I can't find anything worthwhile. Let those humming beasts clean up the battlefield later."
"A whole team of thousands of people, they really dare to send it off."
A sentinel said with a smile.
"Who knows? Maybe I know I can't win, so I want to take a gamble."
Another sentry shrugged and quipped.
"Unfortunately they picked the wrong person."
On the other side, inside the concrete-reinforced artillery bunker.
Knowing from the communication channel that the frontline troops were about to meet the enemy, Piman raised his arm and glanced at his watch, reckoning that the battle should be almost over.
Then, he looked at Antoni next to him, and said in a joking tone.
"Let's make a bet."
"What's the bet?" Antony replied absent-mindedly. He had been feeling restless since just now.
Why was it attacked here?
The timing was too coincidental.
And if it is assumed that the opponent already knows the strategic value of this military base, the offensive strength they displayed is a bit too perfunctory.
With all due respect.
The combat power displayed by those people was not much stronger than cannon fodder, it was as if it was sent up for them to bite.
Maybe he was thinking too much, but he couldn't think of the meaning of those people's attacks other than death?
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and Piman said happily as he looked at Antonyette, who was frowning.
"Just bet...whether my people can get rid of those little guys five kilometers away within five minutes."
Antony raised his eyebrows up, and was about to say something, when suddenly a deafening explosion came from outside the explosion-proof bunker, and together with the shaking from the ground, his train of thought was interrupted.
Holding on to the wall, Antoni, who appeared to be unsteady, looked out the observation window, but only saw the thick smoke drifting away, but did not see where it exploded.
He cursed angrily, hiding the imperceptible panic on his face.
"Damn it, why are bombs still falling here!"
Piman's face was also full of surprise, and it didn't take long for the surprise to gradually turn into a trace of panic, and he opened and closed his lips softly.
"...No, that voice is definitely not a guerrilla gun!"
There was no sign of the slightest sign, not even the whistling of shells piercing the air!
The two explosions sounded almost simultaneously and unerringly knocked out his mortar emplacement.
Obviously that's not the firepower projected by the curve.
Instead, it fell almost vertically from the air!
The Kingdom of Lions has no planes.
So there is only one possibility——
"What is that?" Antoni stared at him blankly, waiting for an answer.
However, Piman did not respond to his expectations, but rushed to the table like crazy, and grabbed the phone on the table.
Quickly dialing down a few buttons with his index finger, he could no longer see the expression of ease on his face, and roared out with almost all his strength.
"...Call the frontline Air Command, this is the 530 military base, we are under air attack!"
"Here needs support!"
