Volume 1 Chapter 79 Fighting Behind Enemy Lines Windfall
Zhao Deming, who was at the command headquarters, watched Tom leisurely and commanded the attack of the marines, although the ground forces of the ten units on the other side were not as strong as the combat strength of the marines, but they were not so difficult to deal with when the number and mechanical body were doubled, and as time went on, the battle near the power plant became more and more unfavorable to the marines.
"Order, the second step of the plan has officially begun, 4,000 mechs scattered and landed near the Capitol, be sure to occupy the Capitol in a short time" Tom decisively gave the order for the second phase of the attack when the time came.
"Well, do you estimate how long it will take for the marines to attack, but the other side has sent two more units of ground troops," Zhao Deming said worriedly.
"Two hours at most, and don't forget that I've invested four thousand machines, and it's not easy for you to plant a little flag," Tom said confidently.
But at this time, Zhao Deming had a trace of doubt in his heart, Tom's current attitude was in stark contrast to his previous timid behavior, the entire battle plan had not changed much, he didn't believe that Tom couldn't think of this trick, what made him change his mind, did he have any secrets?
"Brother Tom, I take the liberty of asking, why did you oppose my previous plan and now support it?"
Tom was directly stunned on the spot after hearing Zhao Deming's words, and then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Your eyes are really poisonous, I admit that I have some personal reasons against you before, and I am afraid that there are few mechanical bodies that can return safely after such a battle."
Hearing that this was the case, Zhao Deming had no choice but to shake his head silently and comfort Tom: "Brother Tom believe me, I will definitely form a Marine Corps for you that will tremble when the whole galaxy sees it."
"Hey! I believe you, but I'm afraid ......."
"Trust me, I'll bring you all back safely"
"Okay, okay, I just suddenly remembered my little son, and you know that I love him the most" Tom, who thought of something, felt that he had aged a lot in an instant, and if he really couldn't go back, he was still a little uneasy about what was going on.
After a short silence, the fierce battle situation in front of us asked everyone to put their eyes back on the battlefield, although the enemy expected that humans would launch an attack on a landmark building such as the Capitol, but it was still a little underestimated, the ground forces of the two units were obviously unable to resist the attack of the human marines in addition to the previous defensive forces, and they had already suffered one-third casualties in the exchange of fire in less than half an hour, which had already reached the limit of the casualties of the troops, and if they did not retreat, they were afraid that they would be directly dispersed.
The enemy commander, who saw the current situation clearly, decisively chose to retreat, he was not in a hurry to win or lose at this time, because he had ordered his reserve four units of ground troops to fully support the previous two units of ground troops, and he was very confident in his own troops, with more to fight less and he was still at home, and it was only a simple matter of time before they won this battle.
The enemy commander's analysis is very correct, but unfortunately Zhao Deming will not follow his ideas, Zhao Deming's thoughts are very simple, to make the enemy uncomfortable, this is a psychological war.
After the orderly retreat of the enemy, the Marines successfully captured the Capitol, and the scimitar battle flags of the human fleet were hoisted over the Capitol and fluttered in the wind.
"Alright, mission accomplished, do you have any ideas for the next move," Tom said with relief when he saw the battle flag fluttering in the wind.
"It's not for the time being, you can do it yourself, just let these machines play their greatest role," Zhao Deming said.
"That's good, Jin Ge......"
"A holographic projection request from the Marine Corps Ground Command," the intelligent adjutant suddenly spoke.
"Pick it in, there must be some special situation when they send a video message here," Zhao Deming ordered.
Soon a Marine in charge of ground command appeared in front of Zhao Deming and them, and the Marine first saluted Zhao Deming and them before saying in a somewhat excited tone: "Leader, what do you think I am behind me?" As the words of the marines fell, the images in front of Zhao Deming's eyes changed into battleships, and he couldn't see the edge from afar.
"What kind of ships are these?" Zhao Deming hurriedly asked.
"Report to the leader, hehe, this is one of their military museums, there are more warships in it than you can imagine"
Seeing this marine with a hippie smile Zhao Deming laughed in his heart, what kind of soldier is really what kind of soldier, this marine is full of Tom's shadow, but the situation he found is indeed very valuable, but before it was his turn to speak first, Yang Le, who had not spoken on the side, said directly: "Then what do you have to say, pick it up and pull it back."
"Ahh Some speechless marines shouted in surprise, and then looked at Zhao Deming helplessly.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, let's not talk about the quality of those warships, do you think we have enough personnel and supplies to feed them?" Zhao Deming glanced at Yang Le beside him and then said, "You just need to check the situation of the battleship, and don't pay attention to the rest."
"Yes Leader" followed the words as the Marines' holograms disappeared into the headquarters.
"Brother Yang, how much antimatter reserves do we have?" Zhao Deming asked Yang Le with his backhand.
Yang Le stretched out two fingers, and the meaning was clear: there were only two hundred antimatter reserves.
"What?" The moment Zhao Deming asked, he knew that he had made a mistake, it was still his idea to give antimatter to other fleets, I am afraid that those two hundred antimatter were also produced by the Heavenly Venerable recently, and it was really too late to say anything now.
Later, Zhao Deming regretted his previous decision, but fortunately, Yang Le knew his thoughts, and did not lose his temper because of his questioning, but just sighed softly to express his helplessness.
In half an hour of somewhat bored and anxious waiting, the Marine Corps ground command sent a data report, which showed that there were as many as fifteen battleships that could be used, and all of them were in good condition, the only fly in the ointment was that these battleships did not have any weapons and ammunition, and the carrier-based drones you don't even think about it, and it is estimated that antimatter can be used.
In the face of so many battleships, Zhao Deming's first thought question was antimatter, and then he asked the intelligent adjutant: "Adjutant!" How much antimatter is needed to launch all these battleships and fly into outer space, please hear me clearly when I say just fly into outer space"
"Back to the leader, these battleships will not require more than one hundred and fifty grams of antimatter to fly to where our fleet is currently located," replied the intelligent adjutant.
"Good! Brother Yang, you will arrange personnel to send antimatter to the Marine Corps, I need these battleships, and when you have arranged the next thing to negotiate with the Marine Corps."
"Do it right away," Yang Le, who was speaking, had already operated the equipment in front of him and sent instructions to the logistics personnel.
"Brother Tom, you Marines must make sure that these ships can break out smoothly now"
"This understands, let's start changing the battle plan now," Tom agreed, and began to discuss with Captain Jingo.
"Smart adjutant, pick up the captains for me" As Zhao Deming's words fell, the captains of the five battleships under his command appeared in the command center, and without any nonsense, he directly explained the current situation, asking each of them to send a part of the people to drive those battleships back.
At this time, Yang Le, who was busy beside him, suddenly spoke: "There is no need for them, there is no one who knows more about battleships than those of us who are engaged in logistics."
Yang Le's words are quite pertinent, after continuous battles, their logistics have really studied these battleships thoroughly, but Zhao Deming didn't want to take any risks, and then persuaded Yang Le: "Brother Yang, I don't doubt your ability, it's just that now we are facing some old ships, and we should insure some better."
"Well......" After a little thought, Yang Le replied, "Then it's up to you"
Seeing that Yang Le was not entangled in this matter, Zhao Deming then said to the captains: "You first gather the personnel, and then listen to the deployment of the Marine Corps, remember your mission, and drive the battleships back for me!" ”
"Yes!" With a chorion, the five captains faded out of Zhao Deming's sight after giving a military salute.
After the most important things were arranged, Zhao Deming began to think about what was missing, and after his brain turned around frantically a few times and still found no new discoveries, he set his eyes on the Heavenly Venerable, he needed an ingenious question to ask or he would get another one.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Deming asked the Heavenly Venerable, "That Heavenly Venerable, what would you do if you grabbed these fifteen battleships?" ”
"Oh, it's a side ball again," Heavenly Venerable looked at Zhao Deming evilly.
Looking at the expression of the Heavenly Venerable with a little evil smile, Zhao Deming was also very helpless, only since Wang Pengxun left forever, he now has no one to discuss, he is really self-inflicted.
"Forget it, it's really difficult for you to see it, I'll give you a word, it's not bad so far, but you can do better" After saying this, the Heavenly Venerable hid himself in the sofa again.
Zhao Deming didn't have the heart to pay attention to the Heavenly Venerable at this time, since the Heavenly Venerable agreed with his plan, then it proved that there was no major mistake, which made him feel a lot more relieved, now it depends on how to achieve what the Heavenly Venerable said better, and then he came to Tom's side, and Mingrui's intuition told him that if there was a better plan, it must be on Tom's side.
Zhao Deming, who had been watching Tom and their deployment, didn't make any new discoveries, could it be that the Heavenly Venerable was playing tricks? He couldn't help but feel a scarlet Heavenly Venerable in his heart, he knew that this was just his own complaint, there must be a better plan, but what was it?
At this time, the flag of the human fleet fluttering on the Capitol gave Zhao Deming an inspiration, maybe it could be like this: "Brother Tom, what do you think of this?" ”
"Huh? What do you want to say," Tom, who was busy directing, glanced back at Zhao Deming and asked.
"That's right, where do you say the attention of the enemy commander is now?" Zhao Deming said meaningfully.
"Then you don't need to ask, it's someone who must be ......" Tom, who suddenly came to his senses, slapped his thigh and continued: "Yes, why didn't I think that you kid is too ghostly, if this is the case, I can make an illusion of defending the Capitol, but secretly strengthen the defense of the military museum, so that they will not find out our real target"
"And I think it should be done more ruthlessly, the perimeter of the military museum is still in accordance with the deployment of the defense of the Capitol, and then put heavy troops in the military museum, people who want to pass by don't know the specific situation inside, if you break by mistake, then you have to try not to alarm the enemy first, there is no way, there is no way, there is no way."
"Well, yes, in order to fully confuse the enemy, the logistics and fleet personnel who landed after that must also have been deployed to defend the Capitol"
"However, the personnel carrying antimatter should try to get as close to the military museum as possible, and we can't afford to lose antimatter."
"Oh yes, speaking of which, Yang Le, how many people do you have who carry antimatter," Tom asked Yang Le.
"Just these 100 grams or so are enough for one person," Yang Letou didn't say a word before continuing his work.
"You're so bold, okay, I'll take special care of this uncle when you go back"
Zhao Deming ignored the ridicule between them, and now he thought of a good idea and then said to Tom: "You said that these battleships are empty."
"I'm going to have you! This piggyback even has a retreat plan, but you still think simpler, that battleship can be loaded with a hundred mechanical bodies at most, and the battleship is not a transport ship that can't be loaded too much, but I have your heart, after this battle, those mechanical bodies that can't come back will be directly handed over to the local guerrillas" Tom said the last sentence to Zhao Deming, and with a wave of his hand, he turned his gaze to the fierce battlefield again.
