Chapter 33: The Eve of the Clouded Leopard Star Ground Battle

At eight o'clock that night, Zhang Hai and others gathered again in the command room of the Lucky Cat.

At this time, the boatswain Zhang Hai was sitting on the chair by the porthole, and he saw his eyes staring at the various buildings in the central city of the clouded leopard star outside the porthole, and said to everyone: The big reporters of the press corps said conclusively that tomorrow the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire may fight a ground battle on the Clouded Leopard Star? What do you think is the probability of this happening?

After Zhang Hai's words were finished, Captain Feng Qi said: The probability is quite large, the current situation is that the main star war troops of the two sides are still fighting so far, which shows that both sides have no certainty of victory in this war, and as we all know, the small empires of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire cannot be compared with the national strength of a large empire like our Kunlong Empire, so this time the two sides have also invested two marine divisions and two star combat divisions in the clouded leopard star.

Judging from the current situation, if these two sides want to win, they have to change, since the starship clusters on both sides of them are cruising and facing each other, if they want to break the situation, they must use the rhythm of ground war to make the other side's starfleet restless and let the other party show its flaws.

If either side really wins the ground battle for Clouded Leopard Star, it also means that the logistics base on Clouded Leopard Star will not be available to the other side.

If you look at the wars that have taken place in the known universe in the past ten years, a large part of them are the two sides involved in the war fighting wits and courage around the key nodes of the logistics supply line, Feng Qi said this, he felt that he was almost right, so he leaned back in his chair and smoked his pipe lightly.

At this time, Deputy Boatswain Zhang Heng added: So, tomorrow it will be the turn of our sailors' brothers? Haha, I'm really looking forward to it.

Subsequently, Zhang Hai and the others clearly subdivided tomorrow's action plan, and finally determined that the clouded leopard star battlefield press corps will take a maintenance mecha that has been strengthened and modified by armor, the difference is that the head of this maintenance mecha is specially enlarged, and it can completely sit fifteen members of the war press corps, and the maintenance mecha carrying the distinguished guests is personally piloted by Zhang Hai, the boatswain of the Lucky Cat, and the members of the sailor team guarding around this maintenance mecha are personally commanded by the deputy boatswain Zhang Heng. This time, the Lucky Cat sailors dispatched four platoons of two hundred and forty mechs out of a total of six platoons to carry out battlefield escort tasks, which can be regarded as dispatching most of the troops to protect the distinguished guests of the Clouded Leopard Star War Reporter Corps.

Due to the fact that they were on the battlefield, the brothers of the remaining two platoons of the sailors operated the mechs to garrison the Lucky Cat to carry out the necessary guards.

The captain Feng Qi, the first mate Wang Kang and the power chief He Suji, who stayed on the ship, took the other crew members of the Lucky Cat to release an unmanned reconnaissance group to follow the mecha cluster of the sailors' operation to carry out necessary battlefield auxiliary reports and battlefield security warnings, while the sailors responsible for the security work of the press corps only need to control the mecha with all their might.

Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, each mech of the sailor brothers who appeared also brought a micro drone for emergency use.

After discussing these actions, Zhang Hai and the five people rushed to the battlefield press corps to personally bring large bags of tea and coffee to each other before going to bed to show their condolences, and the reporters headed by Yan Xin also smiled at the small gifts sent by Zhang Hai and others, and everyone sat together and chatted for a while.

In the course of the chat, Wang Kang, the first officer, raised one of his questions: why there are no female reporters in the press corps.

After hearing the question of the first mate Wang Kang, Yan Xin, the head of the Clouded Leopard Star Battlefield Press Corps, said to Zhang Hai and others solemnly: The reason is very simple, in the past space wars, countless examples have proved that not every imperial army will respect civilians, let alone respect journalists, so in order to avoid some unpleasant things from happening, the War Correspondents' Guild specially found us male reporters to form the Clouded Leopard Star War Reporter Group.

Boatswain Zhang Hai noticed that the content of Yan Xin's lecture seemed to involve some black history of the two sides involved in the war, but he was extremely curious, so he asked Yan Xindao: In this way, the armies of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire on both sides of this war have had some disgraceful things in the past wars?

After hearing Zhang Hai's words, Yan Xin immediately denied it: That's not already, but according to the recent investigation report issued by our War Correspondents' Guild, in the past five years, because of the internal chaos in the two empires of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire, the armies of these two countries have signs of deterioration in military discipline.

After listening to Yan Xin's explanation, Captain Feng Qi also nodded in agreement and said: Well, in this way, your caution is indeed necessary.

After continuing to gossip for a while, Zhang Hai and the five happily exchanged goodnight with the reporters and left.

Then Zhang Hai and the others did not go back to sleep directly, they were going to hold a pre-operation mission briefing for their brothers according to the professional habits of soldiers.

Returning to the command room of the Lucky Cat, Zhang Hai and the five of them gathered the members of their respective departments to hold a video mission briefing in the conference channel of their respective departments, and clarified in detail the mission objectives for tomorrow and the key points that need to be paid attention to in the action.

And Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng added one more thing to the sailors' action plan for tomorrow, that is, the sailors' mecha cluster will be guarding the war correspondents' corps tomorrow while also paying attention to rescuing some civilians in distress.

Because there is one more task to rescue civilians, Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng will also add five medical ambulance helicopters to the departure team tomorrow, so that any civilian casualties and the like can also be treated on the spot, Zhang Hai and others feel that this arrangement is perfect, Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng even want to let the big reporters of the war correspondents take a few more images of the Lucky Cat sailors saving civilians.

Once the footage of these Lucky Cat sailors rescuing civilians is made public after the war, news such as the five Lords of the Kunlong Empire, Lord Ben Lang, the Lord Baron, and the Reserve Major will probably make the headlines of all the news companies in the known universe.

After arranging the sailors' actions for tomorrow, Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng reviewed tomorrow's action arrangements again against the topographic map of the clouded leopard star, and felt that there was no problem, so Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng ordered the sailors' brothers to disband, so that the robes should be on duty at night, and those who should rest should rest.
