Liu Yan's elite infantry company, whose mission in country Y is to serve as a GDI battlefield observation group, is just that with his rank of a GDI major, this so-called observation group does not live up to its name, and they are not qualified to meet with the senior generals of the Y army at all.

Therefore, the activities carried out by this so-called GDI battlefield observation team since its arrival in Plymouth were only around the perimeter of the battlefield to collect and observe various data.

Their safety is also their own responsibility, and how can the people of Country Y, who can't send them to the battlefield to serve as cannon fodder, transfer another unit from the tight force to provide protection for them?

They only sent about a squad of infantry to "assist" in the name of "assistance", but in fact they were working to monitor the GDI battlefield observation team, and they did not do anything else.

Fortunately, they had long expected what kind of reaction the Y side would have, so the GDI side didn't expect to get any real help from the beginning, and they had already prepared for Liu Yan's elite infantry company in advance to protect themselves.

The elite infantry company was originally only a mechanized infantry company, but they were originally only equipped with multiple types of armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles, but after arriving in country Y this time, there were actually six more shepherd main battle tanks in the troops, and they were also the unreduced models of the Iron Eagle clone force's own version. These six new models of tanks based on the Stalker main battle tank not only interfere with the enemy's fire control system, but also have powerful firepower and defense capabilities, and in some cases they are even more effective on the battlefield than the Annihilator Super Heavy tank.

Of course, just adding six tanks did not guarantee the safety of the whole company, so in addition to these six tanks, GDI changed some plans, and an orbital fleet reappeared in the low-earth orbit position of country Y in the name of defending against the space reinforcements of the Sijingren.

They will not directly support ground operations, but their existence is a deterrent, even if the previous orbital fleet failed to prevent the Sijing fleet from landing on London, but no one dares to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the GDI orbital fleet, the previous many battles with the Sijing fleet have proved their strength, and one or two mistakes will not affect the prestige that the space fleet has always maintained.

Of course, although it is said that the fleet will not directly support the ground operation, it is impossible for them to completely ignore the battle situation of the ground forces, especially in individual areas, once the Y army is unable to resist the attack of the Sijing ground forces and retreats, a red thunder will fall from the sky, blowing up the ground troops of the Sijing people who are pursuing the retreating Y army, preventing them from further pursuing the human army.

Perhaps because of this, although the people of Country Y were a little unhappy with Liu Yan's elite infantry company, they could only ignore their existence and activities.

However, the Sijing people cannot ignore the orbital fleet that GDI has sent to country Y that seriously interferes with and affects their combat operations. It's just that the human fleet, which has been manipulated by their fleet several times before, seems to have figured out one thing at this time, that is, in addition to containing the space fleet of the Sijing people in space, they can also use the ground battle plan of the Sijing people to contain the fleet of the Sijing people.

Unless the Sijing people intend to abandon their plans to attack the capitals of many countries this time, when their ground forces are hit by the orbital attack of the human United Nations GDI fleet, they will either have to find a way to defend themselves against the attack of the human fleet, or they will have to send a fleet to protect their ground forces.

GDI is waiting for them to send a fleet to expel their own orbital fleet - the orbital fleets sent by GDI over several battlefields are large fleets with more than thirty ships, with the number of ships currently shown by the Sijing people, no matter which GDI fleet is not something that their fleet can fight alone, not to mention the fleet directly under the GDI Command, the most powerful fleet in the entire human space armed forces, is still cruising around the battlefield, ready to join the battle with the main force of the Sijing fleet!

Of course, this is why the GDI Orbital Fleet is not very keen on supporting the ground battlefield. They were all ready to engage the sudden attack of the Sijing fleet, and were unwilling to drop the height of their fleet too much, so as to avoid the attack of the Sijing fleet, the fleet would be too tightly grasped by the earth's gravity, thus losing the ability to maneuver, so they could only occasionally shoot a few shells at the rear of the Sijing troops from a distance when the human troops on the ground could not withstand it, and after blowing back the opponent, they would refocus all their attention on space.

Although the fleets in space only occasionally fire for support, they are undoubtedly the most powerful support for those forces on the ground, and although they are not always available, they can be saved from fire and water if they appear.

It was only because of these orbital fire support that came from time to time with a few artillery pieces that the Y Army, which was on the verge of collapse, was able to hold out until the return of the overseas garrison - although only more than 10,000 people and a small amount of heavy equipment came back in the early stage.

It's just that at this time, the situation in country Y is really extremely bad, London has completely fallen into the hands of the Sijing people, a large number of civilians and soldiers who have not had time to evacuate the city are also trapped in the city, life and death are unknown, after occupying London, the Sijing army continues to rush out of the city, trying to expand the occupied area, and the Y army, which is unable to counterattack and recapture the capital, can only fight with the outpouring of the Sijing troops on the periphery of London, and constantly lose their positions and keep retreating.

The area under the control of the Sijing people in country Y is constantly expanding in this advance and retreat. If it weren't for GDI's new orbital fleet arriving in time, this area might have been even larger, and the Sijing people would have been able to attack multiple areas of country Y at the same time through their wormhole teleportation technology and space orbital airborne capabilities, blossoming at multiple points and opening up more situations.

When Liu Yan and his company came to London, they were faced with such a situation.

The more than 10,000 Y troops who returned to country Y with the elite infantry company were sent to the front line one step earlier, and they were not even given time to repair. You must know that they had just encountered a plane crash in country D a few hours ago, but the high-level leaders of country Y still dragged them to the battlefield when they just returned to China, which shows how bad the situation has become.

Just when the company arrived at the corner of the front line, it saw with his own eyes that an armored unit of Army Y had to retreat after almost running out of ammunition and food - before rearming more troops, such a heavy unit with main battle tanks was already the most elite unit of the Army of Country Y at present - if it wasn't for Liu Yan to help them with a trace of goodwill and consideration for the overall situation, the defense line where this unit was originally located would have been forcibly broken through by Sijing people on the spot.

This armored regiment of the Y Army, equipped with more than 60 Challenger 2 and 16 Guardian main battle tanks, has to defend a small town with more than 2,000 inhabitants that has been transformed into a fortress by the engineering unit.

But when they came to attack and seize the passage of this town that could lead to Birmingham, the Sijing side invested more than a division of troops. Although there was more than one road to Birmingham, each road was guarded by the Y Army, and even the well-armed Sijing people could not attack all the routes at the same time at once, and they could only choose the most suitable route to attack.

And this town, which was defended by an armored regiment, but the surrounding terrain was too wide, became one of their targets.

When Liu Yan and his company arrived at this position, which was not originally at the forefront, the Sijing troops had already broken through the outlying positions of the town, and the vanguard had already rushed into the town and engaged the Y army guarding here.

At the beginning, the Y Army was able to use the streets that were not too wide in the town, with a large number of barricades, to reduce the huge gap in strength and equipment between the two sides. The heavily armored Challenger 2 main battle tank blocked the streets and opened fire on the Crystal Seeker hovering vehicles as they stormed the town, destroying the crispy (as opposed to other Crystal heavy vehicles) fast vehicles on the streets.

But the strength of the Sijing people is too sufficient, even if most of the troops sent to attack the town this time are only lightly armed, but there is no such thing as morale, no matter how much they lose, they still attack constantly, as if they are not afraid of running out of troops.

Half an hour after the engagement, the wreckage of the Sijing light vehicles was covered all over the main road of the town, and there were even so many of them that other subsequent hovering vehicles could not squeeze into it - the Seeker hovering chariots had far more maneuverability than human vehicles, and they could even march from the water, but in the face of the dense wreckage of their own vehicles on the streets, the hovering chariots could not pass through such road conditions.

If the Scyclians themselves were to command the battle, they might have summoned the heavier Devourer Hovertanks to attack, using the Devourer's more powerful high-energy ray cannon to destroy the wreckage and clear the way for the attack, but this time it was clear that the humans were behind to command the Scyclists.

A battalion-sized Sijing unit hovered near the entrance of the town, maintaining a sense of presence, and from time to time, an infantry unit with a single heavy plasma weapon, such as the Shockwave Robot, invaded the town with the help of the dense wreckage on the streets, attracting the attention of the Y Army in the town.

The other two battalion-level Sijing troops began to attack from both flanks of the town, preparing to attack the town from both sides of the town, and even simply end the rear road of the Y Army armored regiment.

The town is laid out in a long, narrow layout, with all the buildings built around the main road, with only a few other paths that slightly extend the sides of the town. If the Sijing only attacked along the main road, they would have to penetrate the longest two ends of the town, and the Y-army would be able to surface their attack with fewer troops.

But now that they're attacking from both sides of the town, the Y Army is in trouble.
