Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Yang Yi began to deploy the military operation of the First Brigade of the Earth Combat Knife, and selected the time and place to launch the attack.

Late at night a day later.

The night was dark, and only the stars in the sky were blinking.

The fourth-tier small city in the jurisdiction of the Southern Theater of Operations is faintly lit with neon lights in the city.

It's a remote city, and because it's so remote, the location doesn't seem that important.

Although the city was also invaded by the Maltese, it was so unremarkable that there were few Maltese ground troops in the city after the withdrawal of the main Maltese fleet

The battle-shaped pentagonal ship had long since left the sky over the city, and there was no trace of it.

After the Maltese evacuated, they left behind a devastated city and scarred people.

Three o'clock in the morning.

It was late at night, and the city had fallen asleep.

Hundreds of meters deep underground suddenly rumbled, as many as fifty underground submarines were digging a passage and moving quickly towards the outskirts of the city.

In a sparsely populated place on the outskirts of the city, more than a dozen square kilometers of ground suddenly cracked apart with a loud roar. Huge black submarines slowly emerged from the underground, each of which looked like dozens of stories high.

The moment the first underground submarine came out of the ground, the side door of the submarine slowly opened, and countless soldiers and heavy equipment on the ground poured out of the scene of the opening of the side door of the submarine like a tide, and soon there were thousands of people.

After the first troops of more than 1,000 troops appeared on the ground, they quickly took control of the nearby area and formed new defensive positions.

The second and third batches, as more and more people and equipment came off the submarine.

Some of the vanguard forces had already begun to advance into the heart of the city, quickly occupying some of the main streets in the center of the city.

At the same time.

According to this, the summit of the mountain, surrounded by mountains not far from the area, suddenly cracked rapidly on both sides, forming a huge square hole.

Bright lights appeared from the hole, and the roar of the engine could be faintly heard.

Not long after the square hole on the top of the mountain appeared, a large number of bat-shaped black shadows flew out of the cracked openings on the top of the mountain, and the blue tail flame swirled in the sky at the top of the mountain, and soon reached hundreds of them.

Wrong!

The sound of this engine and the black shadow seem to be somewhat familiar, so similar to the fighter jets of the Chinese Aerospace Forces!

If you are not mistaken, in addition to the black pentagonal spacecraft of the Maltese, there are only fighters of the Chinese Aerospace Forces.

And the Maltese Pentagon spacecraft, although they have appeared in the skies over the mountains, have never been so numerous.

After more than ten seconds, the bat-shaped black shadow with blue flames gradually spread out in all directions, and gradually formed an offensive and defensive formation.

Like a sea of blue stars, it illuminates the sky above the mountaintop.

Suddenly, a formation of hundreds of bat-type combat spacecraft flew towards the outskirts of the city, flew directly to the place where the huge underground submarine appeared, and circled overhead, forming a joint posture echoing the ground with the ground forces.

And this small force is the 1st Brigade of Earth Combat Knives, which is preparing to launch a general attack on the Maltese.

"Report, the 1st Assault Battalion is in position, a defensive position has been constructed, everything is normal!"

"The 2nd Assault Battalion is in position!"

"The 3rd Assault Battalion is in position!"

"The air assault battalion is in position, there is no enemy resistance!"

"The robot battalion is in position, no enemy has been found!"

The atmosphere at the theater joint operations command center, which was thousands of miles away, was extremely tense, and the command posts were full.

It was already in a state of full operation that was completely busy during the wartime.

General Liu Hong, commander of the theater, clasped his arms in his hands, looked thoughtfully at the picture on the hologram in the central hall of the command center, and listened to the reports from various combat units.

Chief of Staff Gao Hui also looked a little nervous, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, occasionally glancing at the air-ground joint forces advancing towards the center of the city on the holographic screen.

It seems that the troops did not meet any resistance, and the speed of the advance was a little faster than expected.

Yang Yi sat in a heavy armored command vehicle and quickly advanced with the large army.

At this time, the 1st Assault Battalion led by Yang Yi was no longer the unit that rushed to the front, but was in the center of the ground forces.

After confirming that the Maltese forces in the city had withdrawn and basically controlled the entire city, Yang Yi issued an order to the commanders to build an open space defense position on the spot with the city as the center.

The 2nd and 3rd Assault Battalions, which were originally behind the 1st Assault Battalion, took the opportunity to rush to the front of the 1st Assault Battalion under the leadership of Wang Cannon and Fersildes.

Other ground assault forces followed in accordance with their original deployments.

Yang Yi looked at the current situation of the troops in the car, and the heart that he had been carrying was finally a little relaxed.

The situation went much smoother than expected, and the city, which had been thought to be controlled after a hard battle, was completely controlled so easily.

It seems that after the main Maltese fleet withdrew from the solar system, the extent of the force shrinkage was far greater than expected.

The reason why the Earth War Knife chose such a remote town to appear on the ground was also carefully selected and planned.

According to the previous calculation of the firepower of the Maltese, even if they deliberately avoided the large cities where the Maltese forces were concentrated, with the super maneuverability of the Maltese pentagonal spacecraft and the huge number of ground troops, it would take a lot of hard fighting to control this city that did not seem to be too big.

And the reality is completely beyond the original plan, so far not only has there been no large-scale resistance beyond the ground, but not even the Maltese ground forces.

Yang Yi was a little puzzled, could it be that the Maltese had really given up most of the cities on the earth?

Yang Yi touched his chin with his hand and fell into some kind of contemplation.

Even if everything is going well at the moment, Yang Yi still plans to work steadily and steadily, one step at a time.

Never rush forward until the follow-up troops have arrived, lest they fall into the encirclement of the Maltese ground forces.

Yang Yi knew very well in his heart that although the Maltese had withdrawn from the main fleet, it would never be impossible not to leave some troops.

At present, the 1st Brigade of the Earth Combat Knife has just returned to the surface from the underground, and its heels have not yet stood firm.

The Maltese pentagonal spacecraft and ground forces may not have noticed the human forces coming out of the ground in the middle of the night.

Once the other side notices them, large-scale engagements will be inevitable.

Yang Yi stepped out of the command car, breathed in the long-lost air on the ground, looked at the sleepy-eyed neon lights in the second half of the night, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He knew that it would be dawn in a few hours.

At that point, when the sun rises in the east, the Maltese may discover the action of the Earth Knife and send pentagonal ships and ground troops to encircle them, and the real battle will begin.

He and the 40,000 soldiers of the brigade will face a bloody and bitter battle.
