Chapter 541: Habaro Plain (Medium)
There is a sea area of more than 2,000 kilometers from Luzhou to Iwozhu Island, and it still takes more than 10 hours for the aircraft carrier to arrive at full speed.
As Lu Xing and others had predicted, because of the close proximity of the 'Nanshan' group and the fact that the ground supply troops had set off three days earlier, they actually arrived at the outer area of the Habaro Plain, the valley area in the middle of the Longjiang and Moore Rivers, on the evening of the third day.
After the convoy was stationed, Tang Huaxia and Zhang Guoku climbed onto the roof of an armored car and raised their binoculars to look at the dark jungle in the distance.
The evolved jungle is a bit too gloomy, with tall plants blocking out the sunlight, making the jungle look dark and terrifying, and there are endless dangers hidden inside.
Because the mech unit needs to be hidden in advance, so that the concealment can approach the Predator fortress on Sakha Island, this jungle has become the best place, so the winged mechs must also use the cover of this jungle.
"Old Tang, I think the valley area here is a bit dangerous, should we let the convoy go into the jungle and hide!"
Zhang Guoku looked around for a while, and the valley was a little too empty, which was not conducive to the concealment of his mechanized ground troops.
Tang Huaxia smiled: "In addition to the fact that you can get on the mecha unit here to take off and land supplies smoothly, once you enter the jungle, the winged mecha is not so convenient, arrange it, let the soldiers chop some branches or something to cover up the chariot, now the predators have lost the support of the base camp, and it is estimated that they will not dare to patrol the surface blatantly, haven't you found it, we haven't even found a flying machine along the way?" ”
"Oh...... That's right, Lao Tang, how much credibility do you say about that Lu Xing's words, after all, we can't confirm his words, and I have a question, are those predators really fighting alone, will there be another spaceship or something from their homeland to support them? ”
Zhang Guoku raised a few questions of his own.
Tang Huaxia looked at him: "First of all, let's talk about Lu Xing, I have met him a few times and had some dealings, I personally think that he is a credible person, this kind of major matter related to the life and death of mankind, he will not make mistakes."
Then talk about whether the predators have support or not, whether they have support or not, we humans have no way out, because this is a real interracial game, and if you lose, everything will be over, so don't think too much, take a step and see one step at a time! In the face of predators, we can only do our best to completely eliminate them as soon as possible, as for the support, let's talk about it, otherwise what else can we do, instead of worrying about the sky like this, it is better to do the things in front of us, what do you say, Commander Zhang? ”
Zhang Guoku nodded, what Tang Huaxia said was also the truth, after all, there was something that hadn't happened yet, and it wasn't worth spending so many brains.
"Okay, I'll arrange the deployment, you rest first!"
In the Zhang consortium, almost all the senior generals are evolutionaries, including Tang Huaxia, but he only evolved a brain, which is comparable to a computer's brain, which allows him to have extraordinary adaptability in command and other fields, but his body is relatively weak, that is, he is inferior to ordinary people, and he has long been exhausted by the fatigue of this journey.
Just one day before Tang Huaxia and Zhang Guoku led their troops to the Habaro Plain, on Sakha Island, in the fortress of the predators, the Seven Demon Flowers had another long negotiation.
After several days of searching in outer space, they could already confirm that something really happened to the base camp (spaceship), because all the ground equipment was lost, and their aircraft also caught some spilled energy from the explosion of the spaceship in space, and finally several demon flowers had to admit this fact.
Now they have to face a crazy counterattack that may come from the natives, because judging from the time they have landed, the natives of this astral body are not soft persimmons, although they are not as good as their own scientific and technological means, but those evolutionary lives are simply a mess, especially at the level of Lu Xing, which has made several demon flower eggs shattered.
In addition, there are nearly 10,000 hunters here, these people are not only the pride of the race, but also the fire of the Third Expeditionary Fleet, all of them are excellent hunters born after a lot of tempering, so they must be prepared to defend and plan to survive in this blue planet for a long time.
After a few Demon Flowers discussed, the Fortress's Invisible Dome opened again, and several flying formations flew out of the Fortress and shot out in all directions.
A few hours later, the squadrons returned, but they returned with detailed topographical maps of the island's surroundings.
Sakha Island is almost surrounded by the sea on all sides, only a small part of the northwest borders the land, and this border part is still a bare ridge of the mountain beam, which should be caused by the change of the landform and the inundation of the mountain, this mountain beam is about 1,000 meters wide and about 5 kilometers long, and it is the only throat area that can enter the Sakha Island on land.
Five kilometres to the mainland along the bare ridge is the confluence of the Longjiang and Moore rivers, which are wide and rapid, and when blocked by the mountains, they roar and turn a sharp bend, and then rush into the bosom of the sea.
Further afield is the dark jungle, almost all over the Habaro plain, if you want to hide in the distance to spy on Sakha Island, there is no other place except the endless gloomy jungle, because it is simply unrealistic to want to hide a large army in the valley area, that is, one or two people want to approach the throat of Sakha Island from the valley area is a dream.
In the Predator Fortress, in the center of the 'well' structure, a huge stereo projection was projected in the air, and the seven demon flowers with a group of Red Flower Hunters, Purple Gold Hunters, and Black Gold Hunters stood on the top floor of the surrounding landing module, looking at the projection seriously, because this projection was around Sakha Island.
The Demon Flower of the new Supreme Will looked at it for a long time, and said something in his mouth, it should be discussing how to defend this island that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
A demon flower pointed to the stronghold outlined in red lines, and he believed that in the current situation, the race should be broken into pieces and hidden in place, and then each hunter should be free to hunt the natives until their living force is wiped out, and the star will become the territory of the predators, and then try to contact the mainland for new spaceship support.
His proposal was not intended to be the one that most closely aligned with their creed, which was to kill as a survival in the terms of their killing ethic.
But the new supreme will vetoed his proposal, his reason was that once they fought separately, they would be defeated one by one, you must know that these natives can call their highest force value is not a lot, at least the guy who has repeatedly invaded the fortress is not a demon flower can fight, so in the current state, all the hunters can only clench their fists together, strictly guard against the landing fortress, and then try to contact the native stars in the fortress, is their only way to live.
Eventually, the idea of the new Supreme Will stood up, knowing that the sacrifice of defense was far less than that of attacking, because they could rely on the strong defenses and weapons of the landing fortress to inflict heavy losses on the invading enemy, and perhaps the natives would retreat.
The Supreme Will has its own ideas, and as the Supreme Will, he must think about the fire of the Third Fleet.
To call the native star, you must first find the small interstellar gate signal transmitter thrown out by the spaceship, otherwise it will take at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years to transmit the signal back to the mainland from this blue star, and at that time, they hunters are afraid that they will die of old age in this distant alien star before the natives attack.
After his idea was approved, they did some more research on the details of the defense.
Several Demon Flowers agreed that the defense should be focused on the choke point to the land, as the natives clearly lacked the proper sea and air power, and they had detected the oceans and found that the evolved creatures in the sea were far more powerful than the land, so there was zero chance that the natives would approach Sakha from the sea.
After everything was studied, a large number of predator aircraft set off again, flying in the direction of the Habaro Plains.
At this time, Tang Huaxia's vanguard was less than 500 kilometers away from the Habaro Plain.
Countless flying machines went back and forth several times in the specific area of the jungle of the Habaro Plain, and only returned to the fortress one by one, and the dome of the entire fortress flashed with lightning, and then completely disappeared in the void, and from the outside, it was impossible to see that there was actually a predator landing fortress more than ten kilometers in size.
After Tang Huaxia's troops finally arrived at the Habaro Plain, the predators' flying machine formations had already returned, and even the entire fortress was completely hidden in the void, so they naturally did not find any clues.
The Zhang consortium dispatched a huge number of ground troops, with more than three or four hundred thousand supply vehicles and combat vehicles, and more than one million personnel, and they were separated from Sakha Island by an impenetrable endless jungle.
Zhang Guoku looked at the tired Tang Huaxia and asked him to take a rest first, while he came to the command car, beckoned an orderly, and asked him to call Zhang Baiqian, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, to come over, because at this time, the communication of the headquarters had not yet been set up.
Zhang Baiqian's surname Zhang has nothing to do with the Zhang Foundation, and he successfully became a mecha soldier because of his physical evolution, and later became the commander of the mecha reconnaissance battalion.
"Report!"
A few minutes later, Zhang Baiqian came to report.
"Hmm...... Baiqian, come in for a moment. ”
"Yes, Commander!"
In the command car, Zhang Guoku pointed to the river valley area on the map of the Habaro Plain and said: "We are here at present, I want you to organize your reconnaissance battalion immediately, advance along this line, and reconnoiter the possible potential dangers for the army, remember, this is a covert operation, try not to make too much movement, so as not to be discovered by predators!" ”
"Yes, Commander!"
"Wait...... I'll go with you. ”
Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded outside the door, and a young man in a black training uniform appeared at the door of the command car.
Zhang Baiqian turned his head and looked at it, and his heart was suddenly happy, because the person who came was actually Zhang Zihao, this person he knew, he was the most famous guy in the consortium in recent months, and even vaguely overshadowed Zhang Qinglin's momentum.
"Oh...... It's Zihao, I also said to let you take a break, since you have the heart, let's go with it, it's foolproof to go on this reconnaissance mission with you, the spiritual perception of people like you can help a lot, and any hidden dangerous means will be exposed! ”
Zhang Guoku was also very happy when he saw that it was Zhang Zihao, even though he was a little ashamed of his identity, but in the face of the ambush methods that the predators might preset, Zhang Zihao's spiritual power was undoubtedly a reconnaissance artifact, so his attitude was a little too enthusiastic......
