Claire's fears were justified, and the people of the mountainous region began to fret. Moreover, unlike other anti-** forces, they have made public their program, declaring that they will overthrow the current regime of the Earth Alliance Committee, establish a "fair, democratic, and free" society, restore the vitality of the earth, and return the earth to green.

As expected, in the video declaration they made, Tang Liqing was dressed in a military uniform and gave an impassioned speech to her subordinates in high spirits. Seeing that she was not dead, Anna's eyes straightened, and she angrily ordered the Investigation Committee to directly guard the subordinate team and other relevant units to find out the anti-** armed infiltrators hiding inside.

However, the exposed ones had already followed Tang Liqing, and if they were not exposed, they couldn't find them. Of course, Anna will not admit that some people who helped Tang Liqing are likely to be unconvinced and temporarily break with **.

"What do you say?" Anna had no choice but to ask Claire.

"I can't interfere with the direct guard!" Claire said: "Even if you can intervene, if there is no conclusive evidence, if you move the direct guards, the relevant commissioners will definitely not agree!" ”

She didn't want to worry about it, because although the number of direct guards was small, they were all cronies of the various commissioners, almost like private guards. The loose Earth Alliance** is inherently authoritative, the members are not convinced by each other, each has its own sphere of influence and manages its own territory, and the cooperation between them is not very coordinated. She just wants to manage, but she is like a tiger biting a hedgehog, and she can't get her mouth out.

Anna was speechless, and what Claire said was the truth. General Yi Qianya once proposed to disband the direct guards and select outstanding soldiers from the army to reorganize the ** guards, but was unanimously opposed by the vast majority of the committee members, including Anna herself. They also accused Yi Qianya of wanting to monopolize the armed forces in order to take sole power and establish a dictatorship.

Now, Anna finally understands why Yi Qianya wants to disband the direct guards!

At the beginning of the Green Home, its basic personnel were the 12,000 people who had withdrawn from the Lovers' Fortress, but soon some stragglers around them began to join them. In less than half a month, their number has exceeded 30,000.

"I can't wait any longer, I should take the initiative before they become a climate, right?" Zhang Jingyi watched the "green home" continue to grow and became anxious.

"The committee is still studying countermeasures, and I am afraid that you and I will not be able to make our own decisions." Claire sighed: "General Yi Qianya has no problem with these committee members, we are still young, unless we ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you and I fight these two commanders, let's cut him first and then play it, and him hard!"

Zhang Jingyi looked at Claire and said firmly: "As long as you can make up your mind, I will give up my life to accompany you, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup!" ”

"Good! Let's prepare quietly and separately! ”

However, the two counted the troops at hand and found that they were a little stretched. Claire's ground force is 30,000 men, and since the central city is not always very peaceful, more than 10,000 people have to be left to assist the garrison to maintain the security of the city, and the maximum number that can be mobilized is only 16,000 people.

Zhang Jingyi's Space Force already has two space cruisers going to Jupiter to meet Shu Yunpeng, except for those who patrol the earth and escort the Mars base transport ship, only two can be mobilized. Plus her flagship, that is, less than five thousand people with only three battleships!

And Tang Liqing's subordinates are still growing like a snowball!

"How's it going, are you still doing it?" Zhang Jingyi said: "You have to take into account that the ground troops in your hands are already very tired from fighting continuously these days, and they can still fight a big battle with all their might." ”

"It's a problem," Claire said after a moment's thought, "but, giving up, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future." So, anyway, let's fight first. ”

Zhang Jingyi thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Don't fight now, and when the rebels become stronger, then simply stop fighting. However, she was still a little worried: "Do you want to call the couple fortress to help too, their combat effectiveness is quite good." ”

"Is it appropriate?"

"It should be no problem," Zhang Jingyi said with confidence, "I was cruising there a few days ago and chatted with Dr. Shu. Speaking of Tang Liqing and the others, Dr. Shu is also worried that they are only 120 kilometers away, two hours by car. If something happens, the lover's fortress will definitely suffer first! Therefore, they also hope to eliminate this hidden danger. ”

"Okay, you'll be in charge of contacting them and seeing what they have to say."

The reply from the lover fortress came quickly, and they promised to send three thousand troops to assist the ** army.

The battle soon began. Zhang Jingyi's space forces first bombed the mountainous area, and then the ground forces began to advance. The first day of fighting ended with a total of 1,000 killed, wounded and captured, and several caves where the rebels were hiding.

"Today's results are good, continue to work hard tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, Claire commanded the ground forces to continue to expand the gains. They quickly captured several more rebel hideouts and made rapid progress.

"Why do I think it's too easy?" Zhang Jingyi called Claire in the air: "I look down from above, it seems that they are deliberately retreating?" ”

"What do you think?" Hearing Zhang Jingyi's concern, Claire asked Dr. Shu, who was discussing the next battle plan together.

"Commander Zhang's worries are justified," Dr. Shu said, looking at the map, "and further along, the terrain is getting more and more complicated. I remember Captain Shu saying that if it weren't for the proximity to the water source, the Lovers Fort could consider moving here. There is also a lot of vegetation here, the air is much better than outside, the whole area is densely covered with caves, ravines, and the land is relatively fertile, which is very suitable for living and ...... Ambush! ”

"Really? ......" Claire frowned: "First column, please report the location!" ”

A signal of the location of the first column appears on the map. That's exactly where Dr. Shu was pointing!

"Attention! The first column, the front team into the rear team, retreated back to the mountain three kilometers later! …… Jingyi, your battleship leans forward and covers the first column! ”

However, it was still a little late. The first column of 3,000 people was instantly caught in a sea of fire. They risked their lives to break through and retreat to the ridge Claire had pointed to.

Unfortunately, they were unfamiliar with the terrain and suffered a lot of losses, but they still failed to break through the siege. Fortunately, Zhang Jingyi's Space Force had already arrived and attacked the rebels who wanted to encircle the first column from the air. Under the leadership of Xiang Zidan and others, a part of the Lovers' Fortress occupied the mountain beam, and stormed down from the mountain, tearing through the rebel encirclement and rescuing the remnants of the first column.

Claire ordered the entire army to attack and annihilate the rebels. However, the rebels failed to ambush once, and apparently did not want to fight, so they turned into pieces and hid in the mountains.

Claire gritted her teeth with hatred, but she was helpless. After the first battle, although more than 3,000 rebel troops were annihilated, he suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the losses were not small.

"Stop it!" Zhang Jingyi persuaded: "At least we did our best." ”
