Zhiyuanxing used to be the largest extraterrestrial military factory in UNSC, so the people who lived here were more or less related to the military industry. Due to the tilt of the industry caused by the perennial war, most of the survivors rescued here are people in the manufacturing industry, especially in the military industry. They have the skills they need when the current Plane Council is carrying out its heavy industry upgrade program.

Due to the nature of their work and living environment, these people have a high level of organization, good discipline, and are very good at cooperating with the actions of the army. Pursued by the Covenant's forces, they didn't run around in panic like ordinary low-tech war refugees.

On the contrary, many of them formed large and small self-rescue groups according to the self-rescue methods propagated by the UNSC, and worked together to evade the pursuit of the Covenant's ground forces. When there is no Covenant to hunt them down, the young adults in the team will be organized to act like a militia, collecting survival supplies on the dangerous surface, and actively helping themselves and each other.

In addition, some of them are more organized self-help groups that know how to properly care for the wounded in their ranks, and have special personnel to stay in front of the radio to keep abreast of the latest situation in the outside world. After confirming that there is a rescue nearby, they will also use various means of transportation to quickly rush to the evacuation point designated by the military.

In other words, these people have received self-help education during the war, and may often conduct relevant exercises, and the degree of organization is not lower than that of the junior army. That's why the space-time fleet was able to receive so many survivors in just two days.

It was precisely because of these survivors' expressions that Shen Chao decided to take some risks that he was not prepared to let the expedition take before, that is, to continue the rescue operation while Zhiyuan Star was being burned into glass by the Star Alliance's naval guns!

Since the surface ecological environment of Zhiyuan Star has been completely destroyed, the Star Alliance naturally has no desire to occupy this deserted planet, except for nearly a hundred warships patrolling and carrying out orbital artillery bombardments nearby, which is commonly known as "glass-burning". The Covenant's previous counterattack fleet has withdrawn all forces in the system and is preparing for the next phase of combat missions.

It is quite dangerous for the expedition to continue to operate on the surface of Zhiyuan during this period, after all, the Covenant's fleet can appear above them almost at any moment, washing the ground with their powerful naval guns.

Not all Covenant forces on the ground have withdrawn, outside the main strike zone on the surface. There are still a few elite Covenant ground reconnaissance units active, providing new firing coordinates for the orbital artillery of Covenant warships from time to time.

The entire surface of the Reach Star can be seen as a large military fortress, with tens of thousands of bomb shelters. At this point in the war, most of the survivors had already taken refuge in bomb shelters to escape the Covenant forces.

If there are no ground forces to provide relatively accurate strike coordinates, even if a carpet rail artillery bombardment is carried out, I am afraid that it will only be able to directly hit a small part of it by luck, and it will not be able to achieve the goal of effectively killing and injuring the underground enemy.

Since the remaining survivors on the surface already basically knew the current situation of the Star Covenant controlling the sky again, and also knew that it was unlikely that the UNSC would counterattack back to save them, so. Many of them realized that they were repeating the mistakes of the Fertility Star and were expected to be burned to glass.

In order to avoid unnecessary human losses, the Covenant left only a small number of high-speed elite reconnaissance units on the surface, looking for densely populated areas, and leaving immediately after discovery. Call for a naval artillery strike.

In this complex situation, the difficulty of the rescue operation is much greater than before. Squads that are still active on the surface of the expedition must remain as mobile as the enemy. At the same time, after finding survivors, it is necessary to carefully observe whether there is time for rescue. lest you be hit by the fire of the Covenant warship.

Fortunately, they also have a lot of tactical advantages, such as having shuttles in the sky at all times, some are responsible for picking up ground personnel, and some are responsible for monitoring the Covenant fleet overhead. Whenever the Covenant's warships are about to sail over the ground forces, the expedition team on the ground is alerted and moves to safety.

Of course. That's not enough. They also need more help to continue the rescue operation effectively, and more precisely, they need active duty military personnel from UNSC to guide and engage with survivors!

Fortunately, there was no shortage of volunteers among the survivors they had rescued before, and some UNSC soldiers, including a small number of civilians, responded to the call to serve as guides after being rescued by the expedition. Continue to help save other stranded survivors.

At this time, Team 102 was searching for survivors on the surface of Zhiyuan with the help of a Spartan warrior, and in the previous operation, they not only saved many civilians, but also rescued nearly 100 Spartan soldiers.

Although most of them are Phase 3 fighters who are used by UNSC as high-level cannon fodder, this guide in Team 102 is a Phase 2 fighter at this time. He was found by the fleet when they were searching for the space battlefield before the reinforcements of the Star Alliance arrived.

When the space-time fleet rescued him, his armor was already damaged, and he couldn't see the number on his chest, and he himself was in shock due to lack of oxygen. Only the armor on his body could tell that he was a Spartan warrior.

After some rescue, the Spartan warrior regained his senses. At first, he thought he was on a UNSC ship, but when he learned otherwise, he tried to snatch a shuttle to find other UNSC troops.

Naturally, the expedition team couldn't let him escape with his equipment like this, so after a lot of tossing, several expedition team members worked together to capture him back. After that, I figured out his identity, and he was the S-104 Fred, who had the strongest fighting ability in the Spartan Warriors Phase 2.

The reason why he was found in outer space was because earlier this Spartan warrior was defending a space station, and in the battle to defend that military space station, he was hit by the energy weapons of the Star Covenant and hit him outside the warehouse, and then fell into a state of unpowered drifting.

At that time, the UNSC fleet had already lost the battle and fled, so he thought he would die in space, but when he drifted to the point where he was almost unconscious, he saw the ships of the space-time fleet, and was rescued after losing and falling into shock.

As the same group of Spartan soldiers who grew up with the Master Chief, after his identity was verified, Shen Chao, who had just rushed back, personally met him and informed the other party of the latest battle situation. After learning that Zhiyuan had fallen and that the expedition was still on a rescue mission, Fred offered to help.

Shen Chao also had the idea of checking his abilities, so he asked the maintenance department to repair his armor and sent the rearmed Fred to Team 102 to cooperate with them in searching for and rescuing the survivors on the surface of Zhiyuan.

Of course, for the 102 squad, their main task is actually to investigate this Spartan warrior for Shen Chao this mission, and saving people is actually second. They were in a city that had been fiercely contested by UNSC and the Covenant before.

Fred was standing on a ruin at this time, searching the distance with binoculars, according to the latest information, the other ships of the Covenant were still busy clearing targets in another area, if they were here to search for survivors, then they should have an hour or so to search and evacuate.

If it is a small group of survivors, they only need to summon the shuttle to send it back, but if there are more people, they will set up a preset space-time gate like they did in the previous attack on the Star Covenant warship, and evacuate the crowd as quickly as possible.

However, at this time, Team 102's guide was not looking for survivors, although Fred was looking around with a telescope on a ruin, they were actually looking for a team of Covenant's advanced reconnaissance troops.

In the previous few hours, they had already encountered the interference of the Star Covenant reconnaissance team in several other locations, and the rescue operation was not going well. Especially in one of the major cities, they had just positioned an underground bunker with tens of thousands of survivors when the Covenant's orbital strike arrived early, eliminating the survivors who were waiting for their rescue.

Soon, Fred figured out the reason through the Covenant communication they intercepted, and it turned out that the priority of the Covenant fleet on the surface was determined by those reconnaissance units, and they said that where to hit, the Covenant fleet would send warships to strike.

Fred, who has been experienced in fighting with the Star Alliance, knows that all the chain of command of the Star Alliance needs to be transferred through guò layers and uploaded one level at a time before it can reach the final battleship responsible for the strike. This was done to take care of the Covenant's feudal military organization model, and also provided them with an opportunity to take advantage of.

Even with the current technical strength of the expedition team, it is still impossible to completely interfere with or steal all the communication methods of the Star Alliance, but with this progressive and inefficient communication mode of the Star Alliance, they have the opportunity to interfere with an important node and disrupt the information transmission of the entire communication chain.

If they could do this, they would be able to deprive the Covenant fleet overhead of their precise strike coordinates and fire indiscriminately at the ground, thus gaining precious time for rescue. Fred then came up with a new one, which was to find and kill the headquarters of the reconnaissance force on the planet, and forge a new batch of coordinates to provide to the Covenant's fleet, so that they could bomb the no-man's land on the planet!

The reason why he, the guide, proposed this Jian Yì instead of Lu Feng, and they did it not because his imagination was stronger than the rest of the 102 squad, but because he had learned several lingua franca of the Star Alliance during the long war, and could disguise the voice effects of a high-level elite in a call without video. (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for the "Asram" who just voted for the monthly ticket and the "valky" who gave the reward, I'm sorry that the second chapter came later than I said tonight, and I also felt a little surprised.

I hope that tomorrow the creative state will be better, and you will see you tomorrow
