Just a month after the sandstorm, the rainy season began. According to information provided by www.biquge.info the intelligence services, the rainy season here lasts for six months. In other words, for the entire region, the rainy and dry seasons divide a sidereal year in half.

Cloudless weather during the dry season could theoretically maximize the effectiveness of the Orbital Support Platform set up by the Federal Navy. However, the irregular sandstorms and the Federation's lack of manpower in the Springs of Springs limited the progress of the ground occupation. And in the rainy season, the clouds are up to forty kilometers thick, giving the illusion that the energy weapons that the Emma Empire is proud of are powerless.

Of course, this is because of the iron rule set by the Supreme Commander of the Fountain Legion: you must not destroy the state of the planet's native atmosphere at will. Millions of Federation soldiers, strictly following the orders of the Federation commanders, minimize the damage to the planet caused by each attack.

Although the Anga people, who were enemies of the Federation, would not thank the Union soldiers for their mercy, the Union soldiers supported the commander's decision.

Perhaps for those Marines who are accustomed to fighting in a cosmic environment full of radiation and the intertwining of various weak positions, the surface protected by the atmosphere and the planet's magnetic field is infinitely equivalent to a place of vacation if it is not for the frequent occurrence of indigenous attacks.

"The rainy season on Alpha Planet 3 has just entered its first phase. And our communication system still has no possibility of improvement? Mu Zhendong touched his chin quite unpleasantly, and the screen he was facing was Hai Li's calm but twisted and twitching avatar from time to time.

"So, will there be a change in the arrival time of supplies?" Haili asked because she knew that the intra-atmosphere transport boats that the Federal Navy was now equipped with to transport supplies were very seriously disturbed by the extreme local climate when they entered the atmosphere. Unfortunately, as a highly mechanized federal army, the dependence on supplies is very high.

"Well, resupply, I don't think we will receive large-scale resupply for the time being." After Mu Zhendong flipped through the report in his hand, he reluctantly told his subordinates the bad news.

The regular supply from the fleet has been delayed by the upcoming space operation. Compared to the battle that is about to explode in the vastness of space, Alpha's battle seems to be less important.

However, this is not a reason for the fleet to stop regular replenishment. After finishing her contact with Command, Hayley furrowed her eyebrows. "Sure enough, it was because of the previous activity of the guerrilla formations of the Republican Fleet, which led to the collapse of the logistics chain."

guessed the facts, but made Haili's face more obvious with bitter emotions. Originally, this kind of thing had nothing to do with Hai Li's rights and responsibilities at all, but Hai Li still couldn't help but worry about the supply of various materials in the future, and in the eyes of others, this was probably the trouble of the so-called smart people.

At this moment, they are more than one and a half thousand kilometers from the ground command. It is almost the limit support distance of the ground command. The logistics department of the headquarters had a large number of vehicles, thanks to the establishment of the Army, and the Marine Corps was able to be assisted by the Army's overly rich ground equipment.

Although, the supply of the army still needs to be escorted by the naval fleet throughout the process. However, about what kind of contract was concluded, the Federal Navy went against the previous stingy attitude on this issue, and issued huge orders to several shipbuilding enterprises in a large amount. What disgusted the Army's top brass was that the Navy did not intend to deliver the brand-new transport ships to the Army, but sold the old goods that the Navy had replaced at a 70% discount.

God knows how these ships, which are not only out of service, but also full of problems, have survived the years of struggle in the harsh navy.

Alpha Ground

The combined forces of the Marine Corps and the Army advanced to a distance of 300 kilometers from the outskirts of the fourth largest city of Anggo, where there was finally no longer a patch of yellow sand, but gradually some vegetation. Along with the local vegetation, there are more and more Angge people.

The Yellow Commando of the Marine Corps led by Haili and the 1st Battalion of the 1157th Regiment of the Federal Army led by Li Doan stopped at the edge of a lake with abundant water and grass. Considering that there were only two units in this joint camp, the soldiers habitually referred to each other as Marines and Army.

After getting rid of the fear of war, Major Li Doan fully demonstrated the professional attitude of the federal soldiers. Although the Federal Army had little combat experience, Major Li Duoan knew his men very well.

"Hold off the attack." Armed to the teeth, Hayley jumped out of the chariot and kicked her waterproof boots so hard that the muddy water mixed with the rain splashed everywhere under her feet.

This is undoubtedly good news for the soldiers, who have been in a tense situation for months, and who have to fight in rain and muddy water. After venting her frustration, the female officer, who was particularly fierce on the battlefield, turned around and pulled out the communicator from the car.

"Here is Commander AH, informing the whole team, deploy on the spot, and establish a defensive base in accordance with AAA rules."

After receiving the news, the soldiers of the Marine Corps immediately went into action, and there was no intention of consulting with the Army during the whole process. Li Duoan, who was dressed in a grass-green camouflage protective suit, jumped out of his car and could only smile wryly and touch his nose when he looked at the lakeside area that had become a super construction site in just half an hour. Then, against the raindrops that smashed people to the pain, he buckled the newly issued wide-brimmed helmet on his head.

"There's no terrain here. Why did you choose to be here? Li Duoan, who had some doubts in his heart, decided to go to the headquarters to find Lieutenant Haili to solve his doubts. After all, Haili was very impressed by Li Duoan. Whether it is calm in the face of a surprise attack or strong in attacking, Li Duoan has never thought that Haili is a person who is good at teaching.

……

The prolonged period of precipitation turned this small pond into a huge lake. If there were geologists, they would have judged that this area was originally a seasonal lake.

And at this moment, about five hundred meters from the waterline of the lake, the Federation Army decided to build a base here. A permanent or semi-permanent military base. Although, the initial reason was only because the army hated to attack in the rain. In the space age, people live in a less volatile environment than the earth's surface.

In the starship, it is always 10 degrees Celsius, the humidity is 70-80, and the air flow is very weak. As for the storms and rains that are common on the surface, they can only remind the soldiers of the virus isolation chamber, the blowers that can reach the speed of the twenty-second wind, the poisonous water that emits a strange smell to kill, and the sterilization rays of various colors.

Half-hidden in the ground is the temporary headquarters of the entire unit, which is now headed by Lieutenant Haili. As a higher-ranking officer, Lee Do-an would go directly to the new command at a later date.

Due to the constraints of the conditions and the consideration of resource conservation, this command only uses several combat vehicles to form a circle, and the thick hull is used as a cover, and a reinforced armor plate is added in the middle, and a semi-sheltered space is formed. This is only temporary, and with the deployment of the entire unit, the engineers are stepping up the construction of the official headquarters.

In the "central hall" of the headquarters that appeared in Li Duoan's eyes, the familiar three-dimensional simulation sand table was replaced by a strange fire for the first time. Dozens of shell casings were half-buried in the ground, and inside were charcoal made from trees that could be found everywhere in the area. All of this makes up a simple charcoal pile.

Above the fire, a creature known locally as a grass pig is strung on a steel fork. Haili was also dressed in a grass-green camouflage suit, with a Landing Corps soft hat on her head and an old-fashioned round helmet hanging from her belt. When Li Duoan entered the headquarters, Hai Li still had a spice box in her hand, sprinkling seasoning on the prey that was being grilled.

"Is it another bonfire?" Li Duoan looked at Hai Li, who was busy, and there was some embarrassment in his voice. This is not the perfect weather for an open-air party. However, it is believed that with the efficiency of the engineering troops, before it gets dark, they will definitely have a covered synagogue in the camp.

"Hmm." Hai Li didn't look up, but after answering, she said as if she was adding a note. "Reinforcements will arrive at 1800 punctually, along with the last regular supply." A welcome dinner was held for the new comrades, and the main meal was a local creature baked by the chief officer, Lieutenant Haili. This is a new rule that only came after the commandos entered the ground operations.

"I've heard about the fleet, too." Li Duoan stood in front of the car coffee machine and pulled out the mug he used to drink coffee from his backpack.

After Hai Li's first lesson, Li Duoan was always fully armed and ready to fight anytime and anywhere. I don't know if it's Hai Li's infection, Li Duoan has also developed a quirk of carrying all the items. So, no one in the entire command thought it was a strange thing for an army commander to take a coffee cup out of his bag, after all, their commander was strange enough.

"The logistics ships are tight. The abnormal weather here also kept the fleet's logistical efficiency at 30 percent, and the loss of up to 12.7 per shipment was too severe. "Like all academic officers, Li Duoan is quite sensitive to all kinds of theories and data.

Although the logistics department has rushed to the beginning of the rainy season, a large amount of supplies have been stockpiled at the command headquarters. However, with the expansion of the front, the transportation process from the logistics center to the front line has become a difficult matter.

Haili focused on the barbecue and didn't talk to her. But Li Duoan, as Hai Li's partner for a month, didn't care about Hai Li's strange attitude as a lieutenant. He sat cross-legged on the base of the three-dimensional sand table, which was also used as a table for officers to eat.

"Where's your reinforcement over there?" Hai Li, who was quietly busy with barbecue, suddenly asked.

"Yesterday has arrived. This time it's thirty-two, five newcomers. ”

The recent battles have been quite frequent, and the frequent fighting has led to varying degrees of attrition on both units. Although there is still a long way to go before we can fight with broken muscles and bones. However, the casualties of nearly 8 percent still made Li Duoan feel distressed for a while. It was his soldiers, the elite he had selected one by one from the army of five million. (To be continued.) )
