Fortunately, after accompanying Carl to dinner, the sentries took Carl to the military aircraft that had already been ready.

"Sir, I'm sorry, most of the armed military aircraft have been requisitioned to the front line, and there are only this kind of military aircraft in the Zemu camp that are usually used to transport supplies."

Listening to the sentry's apologetic tone, Karl smiled slightly and comforted them: "It's okay, I just need you to send me to the front line, and when I arrive at the front line, you can return smoothly!" ”

"Roger!" After listening to Karl's order, the sentinels breathed a sigh of relief.

If they are allowed to carry this kind of ordinary military-based aircraft and rashly join the battle on the front line, I am afraid that they will really die by then, and there will be no scum left.

At Karl's signal, several sentries followed Carl to board the military plane and officially headed towards the ancient city of Aesop.

At this time, there are less than 10 hours before the start of the battle.

……

On the other side, in the entire camp of the Sword and Shield Coalition Army, the atmosphere had reached an extremely solemn level.

Although everyone was still given the order to rest and stand by, they all knew that at dawn, this great battle would officially begin.

In the face of such an unprecedentedly large battle, I am afraid that no one will be able to sleep peacefully, and among them, it is naturally these War Spirit warriors who include the Fifth Team of War Spirits.

John, the others got together honestly, exchanging each other's mindsets before the start of the war.

"It's a pity, it looks like Carl won't be able to come back in time before the war starts." John shook his head with some regret.

Sophia looked at the electronic communicator on her wrist, and after Carl's military plane had just taken off, he sent another message: he had departed from Camp Zemu.

After secretly calculating the distance, Sophia had a rough guess about when Carl would eventually arrive.

Two days later...... It's just that I don't know if the battle against the ancient city of Aesop will continue until that time two days later.

Leo was holding a drawing in his hand, gesturing with his hand and muttering words in his mouth.

John on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said a little speechlessly: "Leo, what are you doing there?" Tomorrow is going to be a big battle, don't add this invisible pressure to us, you can't ......"

Leo didn't care about it, and said a little impatiently: "In a big battle of this scale, you must think carefully about your positioning, if you don't use your brains to rush and kill, I'm afraid it will be easy to be overwhelmed by artillery fire!" ”

"Is it so exaggerated? When we attacked the first ancient city, we didn't see much danger except for the Leviathan of the Zerg! John said with some noncommittality.

Bai Ling said in a weak tone at this time: "John, Leo is right, in a battle of this scale, in fact, the warriors will not be allowed to rush forward indiscriminately. ”

"Often in this kind of battle, at the beginning, it is the mutual suppression of firepower, and it is not until one of the sides is broken and obviously falls to the upper hand that it is the turn of the infantry to appear."

John touched his head with some incomprehension, and said as if he didn't understand: "So Bai Ling, you mean, at the beginning of tomorrow's war, we people actually have to stay where we are?" ”

"That's right!" Leo nodded at this time, he pointed to the drawings spread out in his hand, and said with a slightly serious expression: "According to my estimates, when the battle starts tomorrow, the artillery fire on our side will directly cover nearly 20% of the ancient city of Aesop." ”

After finishing speaking, Leo used his hand to draw a large area on the map, but it was already very large, but it was still only 2% of the area of the ancient city of Aesop......

"That's not bad, you can solve the enemy in the area of nearly 20% without spending a single soldier, it's still completely acceptable!" John commented disapprovingly.

Leo showed a wry smile, shook his head and reminded: "But after solving these two urban areas with strong means, the insect swarm in the entire ancient city of Aesop is bound to completely counterattack us. ”

"It is conceivable how much effort it takes to maintain the defense line from collapsing and to successfully annihilate all the enemies under that momentum......"

"Don't think about it so much, anyway, let's fight with the team tomorrow! Whether it is life or death depends on the final result! ”

At this time, John's nerves are more suitable for this pre-war atmosphere.

At least when others were worried, he was still able to maintain his high fighting spirit, but he seemed extremely reliable.

Infected by John's emotions, Leo also stretched out his right hand at this time, and a ray of flame completely ignited the drawing.

"That's right, it's useless to think so much now, let's act tomorrow!" After saying that, Leo gave Bai Ling an extra look.

Among the four people here, the only thing he was worried about was Bai Ling, after all, as a medical department battle spirit warrior, Bai Ling was still too dangerous on this battlefield.

Sensing Leo's concern, Bai Ling smiled and patted his hand, signaling that there was no need to worry about her.

The night passed quickly, and in the middle of the night, no matter how preoccupied the warriors were, they had to choose to sleep for a short time.

After all, without a good mental state, it is absolutely impossible to cope with tomorrow's battle.

When the dawn sun cast its first rays, the entire camp of the Sword and Shield Combine sounded the order to assemble.

Everyone who was sleeping immediately quickly got up, and after quickly sorting out their equipment, they came to the queue of each other's teams.

At this time, almost all of the entire camp of the Sword and Shield Combine Army was in a state of operation.

When John looked over, the rows of mighty Thunder tanks began to move towards the front row of the entire battle line.

"Sure enough, as Leo said, this is to cover the ancient city of Aesop with artillery fire at the beginning!" John was amazed and had to be amazed at Leo's resourcefulness.

Leo was still frowning, looking farther away, behind these thunder tanks, the countless O'Connor mechs were all in action at this time.

It's just that they didn't transform into fighter form, but followed the Thunder Tank group unhurriedly, as if they wanted to act as a mechanical guard for the Thunder Tank.

After a moment's thought, Leo turned his head to look at the ancient city of Aesop again, and instantly understood.

"I see, in order to cover the main propulsion firepower of the Thunder Tank, and at the same time prevent the Zerg from carrying out suicide attacks, the O'Connor mech completely acts as the escort of the Thunder Tank, right......?"

"Indeed...... The O'Connor mech, compared to the average machine gun infantryman, is more trustworthy. ”

However, at this time, it seemed that the firepower of the Thunder Tank was not enough, and in the farther sky, in the camp of the Sword and Shield Coalition Army, a large number of fighters were also lifted into the air.

Judging from the direction they pointed, I'm afraid they are preparing to carpet bombard the swarms after the Thunder Tank is covered by gunfire!

For the first time, Leo felt a wave of confidence that a dense artillery attack was undoubtedly the most effective against the swarm.

As long as your firepower is strong enough, the swarm will only be reduced to white bones under the fire.

Just as Leo and the others were shocked by the scale of the attack's firepower, the order from above had already been conveyed at this time.

"Ordinary riflemen, as the first echelon, are on the front line to stop the incoming swarms. The Warhammer Force, in conjunction with the Ghost Force, acts as the second echelon and is responsible for supporting the first echelon and tackling any swarms that come in the air. ”

"A few squadrons, such as the War Spirit Warrior, are free to move and move in a timely manner according to the needs of the battlefield."

And John's fifth team of the war spirits is divided into the middle of the entire battle line, and this is also the area with the largest number of insect swarm attacks!

Captain Zexi led them at this time and quickly arrived at the area responsible for garrisoning.

"Brothers, do your best to eliminate the incoming swarm, this battle is a key battle that will determine whether our northeastern theater can reach a turning point!"

Speaking of this, Captain Zexi additionally added: "Bai Ling, Sophia, if it is convenient for you, try to save these machine gun infantry in front of us as much as possible......"

Speaking of this, Captain Zexi said with some embarrassment: "You also know that if the machine gun infantry in front is emptied, at that time, we will be responsible for resisting the swarm!" ”

"Roger!" Sophia and Bai Ling immediately nodded, indicating that they had received the order.

There is no problem with what Captain Zexi said, after all, when all the ordinary machine gun infantry are sacrificed, isn't it their turn to act as a line of defense?

So as long as those machine gun infantry live, the later their War Spirit Warriors will act as a defensive line. Although it may seem selfish, it is also a helpless solution.

After all, on this battlefield, the number of swarms that a War Spirit Warrior can kill is probably hundreds of times more than an ordinary machine gun soldier.

At the moment, it is obvious who is more important.

At this time, the commander-in-chief finally gave the official order to attack, and the soldiers who were waiting solemnly only heard the thunder tank group behind them, and collectively made a deafening sound of gear turning.

The support pillar on the Thunder Tank also stretched out quickly at this time, and fell heavily on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the gun barrels on the Thunder Tank collectively pointed in the direction of the ancient city of Aesop, and the long-range gun barrels quickly stretched out. The barrels of the whole 3 meters were neatly arranged in a very long queue at this time.

"Fire!"

At the sound of an order, all the drivers of the Thunder Tank pressed the opening button in their hands.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Countless artillery fires rushed towards the ancient city of Aesop at this time, and when the first cannonball landed in the ancient city of Aesop, it directly caused a huge explosion.

Then it was as if it were devastating, and the remaining cannonballs were like autumn winds sweeping away leaves, pushing down all the way.

Every time a batch of shells fell, the area was blown up beyond recognition, and countless insect swarms quickly melted under the onslaught of artillery fire.

Under such a volley, the entire outer wall of the ancient city of Aesop was almost completely destroyed, leaving countless insect swarm corpses.

However, the attack on the side of the Sword and Shield Coalition was not over, after the first round of artillery fire, soon, after the energy-filled Thunder Tank, the second salvo was fired.

This time, it was like a sea of mountains, quickly destroying the area outside the ancient city of Aesop.

"Beware, the insect swarm in the ancient city of Aesop is starting to get restless!" Captain Zexi snorted softly and reminded everyone.

Sure enough, after this second round of volleys, the swarm in the entire ancient city of Aesop began to riot.

First of all, there was a dense swarm of flying insects, flying overwhelmingly towards the sword and shield coalition army.

What's more, but like the tides of the mountains and seas, all kinds of Zeg swarms attack from the ground!

"Prepare for battle!" Captain Zexi shouted, in fact, he didn't need to remind him, the soldiers who were now on the front line were holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and when the swarm approached, they would suppress them with the most direct attack!
