Along the way from the north to the south of the River Valley Province, Beartooth fought with Lord Golden Fang, conquering countless survivor strongholds, but he had never encountered such a hard stubble.

In particular, the overwhelming round of rockets really scared him, and he retreated 5 kilometers without slowing down.

A group of nearly 1,000 people stopped in the col.

The surrounding vegetation is dense and easy to hide, and it is a good place to camp near several hillsides with a wide view, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Looking at the frightened bear teeth, Tumen sighed in his heart, and stepped forward to comfort him.

“…… You don't have to panic, that kind of rocket, although powerful, is not very accurate, and the effective range is not as good as our 100mm guns. We're in this position now, and they can't hit you anyway. ”

"As long as we dig trenches in the positions and build anti-artillery holes and tunnels, no matter how powerful the rockets are, they will not be able to hurt the people inside."

Underestimating the strength of the opponent's resistance was his mistake.

Originally, in Tumen's opinion, it had been less than 24 hours since those people of the New Alliance took the southern slope of Songlinyu, and they could dig a few trenches to dig out, and the artillery bombarded the infantry and then rushed again, so they could plant the flag no matter what, and there was no need to waste time digging trenches on the position.

The real tough battle should be the suburbs of Qingshi County after that.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party's resistance was far stronger than he expected. By the time he realized that the situation was not good, the opponent had already reacted from the attack, and there was also a wave of indirect fire on his position.

Directly stunned them.

Panting bear fangs scolded.

"...... The information is wrong! They simply don't have a thousand-man team! There were thousands of people squatting on the high ground in front of us alone! ”

Tumen smiled wryly.

"That's not going to ...... Judging from the density of their firepower, there should be about two or three hundred people, but they have enough ammunition, and they should have carried an excess of supplies, and I think their machine guns have not stopped. ”

"In any case, this is no match we can handle!"

Xiongya, who put down this sentence, immediately called the communication soldier, snatched the walkie-talkie from his arms, and reported the situation here to the rear.

“…… The gophers of the dogs are so fierce! As soon as our men rushed up, they called for reinforcements and in a few minutes bombarded at least 1000 shells at our positions! It's a shame that Lao Tzu didn't send all the people up! ”

"There is definitely more than one squad stationed there, at least one team of thousands! Report the situation here to the Chief, we need reinforcements! ”

With a roar of spitting stars flying over the walkie-talkie, Bear Tooth then threw the walkie-talkie back on the younger brother's body.

Looking at the commander, Tumen, who was standing on the side, proposed.

"It's not a good idea for us to wait here, so it's better to send two teams of 100 people back to the position we just evacuated and dig out the position. When reinforcements arrive, we can start the next offensive immediately. There were no fortifications, and we had nowhere to hide when their shells fell. ”

Tumen paused for a moment and continued.

"Eighty percent of the soldiers of the New Alliance are reinforcing their bunkers in Qingshi County at this time, and the longer this battle drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us...... We don't have time to waste. ”

Xiong Ya thought for a moment, and felt that what his staff officer said made some sense.

That idiot has been grinding in Qingshi County for four months, and all the fortifications he has built are cheap for those pesky gophers.

After a long time, when they strengthened the fortifications there, it was time for them to lay down Bluestone Town, and I am afraid that there were few brothers in their hands.

At this moment, he was still thinking about the copper mines in Yuanxi Town.

If you want to eat that copper ore, you can't have someone on your hands.

"Okay, just do as you say!"

With that, Beartooth summoned a centurion.

"You, take the people back to the previous mountain, and dig out the trenches for Lao Tzu! I can't dig a trench that can squat 3,000 people in three days, hang you on it! ”

The centurion knew how vicious the bear's methods were, and he was unrelenting to himself and his enemies. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only bite the bullet and lead the way.

"Okay! Chief! ”

……

Songlinyu.

On a ridge not far from the southern slope, Ye Shi, who was mounted with a sniper rifle, looked through the eightfold mirror at the north side of the hill two kilometers away, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Yikes! The bandits are back? ”

And trenches were dug in the mountains!

Tempest held the telescope in his hand and calmly analyzed.

"It seems that the other side realizes that they will not be able to gnaw on this high ground in a short time."

"That's good, we haven't been afraid of anyone in a war of attrition, I'm afraid they can't afford it." Night Ten smiled and fired a shot at the opposite side.

"Can you hit it this far?"

Night Ten pulls the bolt out of the smoking cartridge casing.

"I can't beat it!"

Tempest: "Then you shoot a woolen gun." ”

Night Ten said with a smile.

"It's out of the way, they can't find us from this far away anyway, so I'll scare them."

The wind holding the binoculars glanced at him.

"Be careful and wait for the shells to come in."

Night Ten, who was about to fire the second shot, suddenly shuddered.

"Damn, don't be so stubborn."

Tempest said in a noncommittal tone.

"I don't know, you ask them."

It's not realistic to hit people at a distance of more than two kilometers, but it's okay to scare people.

The bullet whizzed down on the opposite dirt slope, kicking up a cloud of dust and startling the marauders who were working nearby.

I thought that the person on the opposite side was calling, and the man was screaming, and a group of people crawled to the anticline and waited.

The round of rockets thrown by the mosquitoes earlier had turned them into frightened birds, and the slightest wind and grass made them nervous.

Ye Shi waited for a long time, but he didn't see those people coming out from behind the anticline, so he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"Is it so?"

Tempest, holding the binoculars, frowned.

"They probably plan to dig a trench from the anticline first......"

Unsure of the sniper's location, the men didn't dare to show their heads easily, but the digging didn't stop.

Tempest even noticed that the marauders had divided up a group of men to cut down trees nearby, using wooden stakes to support the tunnels.

These marauders are starting to get smarter too!

On the other side, on the front-line position, Lao Bai and Fang Chang, who were holding telescopes, also discovered the situation on the opposite hill.

“…… When they have dug trenches, the next offensive is expected to come. ”

"Then we'll help them loosen the soil."

The corners of Lao Bai's mouth curled up into a wicked smile, and he gestured to the brother behind him, and the player immediately understood, and trotted to the back of the position.

Just half an hour ago, the logistics troops of the new alliance crossed the mountains and mountains to deliver ammunition to the front line, in addition to 7mm ammunition, 2 88mm mortars and 8 boxes of mortar shells.

Due to the lack of a complete highway along the route, the speed of vehicle passage is very slow, and the transportation of supplies is basically done on two legs.

However, due to the popularity of the KV-1 exoskeleton, the individual transport capacity of the soldiers of the new alliance is very strong.

Especially for strength players, there is no problem at all in traveling long distances with three times the weight of supplies on one's back, and the only hard injuries are charging and eating.

But these are minor problems.

When the road from Qingshi County to Songlinyu is cleared, the logistics of the new alliance can be handed over to trucks.

With the arrival of support weapons and supplies, the player quickly builds a simple mortar position on the ground with shovels and sacks full of dirt.

Now it comes in handy.

After calculating the target distance, Lao Bai immediately gave the order.

"Attention mortar squad! 2.1 km ahead, a round of shelling! ”

Two crisp bangs rang from the rear of the position.

After a while, two clouds of smoke burst out on the hillside on the north side of Songlinyu, and the marauders who were digging the pit immediately fell to the ground.

Fang Chang held the binoculars and observed the landing point of the shells.

"It's a little off, and a hundred meters further forward should be enough."

Lao Bai continued to order.

"The landing point of the shell is corrected forward by 100 meters, and six rounds of scattered fire are smashed!"

Mortar positions continued to fire.

This time, the shells fell directly on the opposite hill.

The marauders, who were building the fortifications, were bombarded and immediately lay on the ground, not daring to lift their heads, but only rolling down the slope with their heads in their hands.

Six rounds of shells were fired.

Lao Bai ordered a ceasefire.

In the distance, on the mountain filled with gunsmoke, no one could be seen.

“…… It should have been withdrawn. Fang Chang held the binoculars and observed for a while, then smashed his tongue, "Normally speaking, what should I do if I am bombarded when digging trenches?" ”

"In the case of an encounter, dig a few foxholes, and then dig a zigzag horizontally to string the foxholes. Or dig directly from the bottom of the slope and go up, dig to the high ground and spread the trenches on both sides......"

Staring at the position two kilometers away, Lao Bai squinted his eyes, "We will beat them every few dozen minutes, and then rush over to catch them off guard when it gets dark!" ”

Fang Chang's eyes lit up.

"Good idea, they wouldn't have thought we'd dare to come out of the trenches!"

The previous round of rocket coverage had already given the Tooth Clan a glimpse of their firepower, and they should not dare to send a large force up until the trenches on the front line were dug up.

On the opposite hill, two or three hundred people can squat to death, and there is a garbage king to take the lead, and it is not a big problem for them to rush up and kill back and forth!

Lao Bai said with a smile.

"When the time comes, bring two lumps of explosives and bury them in the trenches, and when they go up and dig again, surprise them!"

"Hahaha! The pits are all raised for them! ”

An evil smirk floated from the trenches.

That quack laugh was like a villain.

Just as the two of them were muttering and discussing their actions at night, the VM screen on Lao Bai's arm suddenly flashed.

"Message from the command...... I'll see, Gan! ”

Seeing Lao Bai's reaction, Fang Chang hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong?"

"The mission has changed...... Two hours later, the Death Corps came to the front line and switched guards with us. When he said this, Lao Bai had an uncomfortable expression on his face.

said that he would continue to hold on here for 48 hours, and before the morning was over, the order to change the guard came.

He seriously suspected that they had been targeted by the dog scheme because they were fighting too badly.

Fang Chang's expression was strange.

"What about us?"

"Command, let's go back to Dawning City to rest first...... It is said that when it gets dark, there are more difficult and exciting tasks waiting for us. ”

Glancing at the opposite position, Lao Bai said with regret written on his face.

"The night raid can only be handed over to the fringe dudes."

……

Xizhou City.

Four new districts, within the account of the tooth clan.

Listening to the situation on the front line reported by his subordinates, the golden tooth sitting on the human bone chair, his black-green face was covered with dark clouds.

He didn't expect to be killed by 200 people in just one morning, and what he didn't expect was that those blue gophers were equipped with such a number of artillery.

He was well aware of the habit of his men running around with a mouthful of style, and it was an exaggeration to say that a thousand shells would be impossible in a few minutes.

In reality, it may only be about one or two hundred shells.

But even so, it was enough for him to be cautious.

With his index finger tapping lightly on the chair, he said in a deep voice.

"Send the tanks."

Unlike the Snake Clan, the Tooth Clan's tanks were not distributed to each thousand-man team, but were formed into an independent tank team as the leader's personal soldiers, directly serving the leader.

These big guys are worth a lot of money, not to mention one less than one, and they always break down, and it is not a last resort, he will not risk pushing the tank to the front line.

But now, no, no.

Dillon whispered, who was standing aside.

"The new coalition has planes, and it's not a good idea to get tanks up in such a hurry. No matter how hard the Conqueror 10's frontal armor is, the top is still a blind spot for defense. Before we can send planes again, we have to solve the problem of air defense......"

Golden Fang said in a deep voice.

"And what do you have to do?"

Dillon pondered.

"We need anti-aircraft weapons, can we find a way to import a batch from the Bugerra Free State? For example, anti-aircraft guns and the like. ”

The expeditionary force did have anti-aircraft weapons to deal with the air force in the Great Rift Valley, but there were not many of them, and they were often focused on by the artillery and aircraft of the Great Rift Valley, and there were very few left.

However, Dillon vaguely remembered that at the beginning of the rout of the expeditionary force, everyone was fending for themselves, and a batch of supplies containing anti-aircraft equipment was disposed of by a captain to the Bougerra Free State.

I don't know how many dinars that guy sold, but it shouldn't be expensive.

If you can buy some of it back, it should be more than enough to deal with those small planes.

However......

Golden Tooth, who was sitting next to him, simply dispelled his thoughts.

"We don't have any money."

Dillon asked, stunned, looked at him.

"Isn't there still 2 million dinars?"

Goldtooth coughed and said in a muffled voice.

"There are too many places to use money, and it has long been spent...... Okay, let's stop talking about it, can we solve this problem ourselves? It's not an option to always count on someone else for help. ”

What was he a marauder for?

You can't buy or sell just to save money.

Some of the looted treasures were exchanged for weapons, and most of the rest was spent by him on pleasure.

The slaves locked up in the dungeon are thin and human, and it is okay to be a laborer and reserve food, and most of the ones who are a little bit of posture have also been spoiled, as the leader of the Tooth Clan, of course, he can't pick up the leftovers of his subordinates to eat, not to mention that it will damage the majesty, and he can't eat it.

When it comes to pleasure, it is natural that those androids who can't play badly no matter how they play, and the carefully bred clones have more appetite for him.

As for the survivors in the northern suburbs?

He hadn't taken the group of scavengers seriously from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have sent just a team of 1,000 to deal with them.

Golden Fang admits that he made a strategic miscalculation, but there is no point in regretting it now, and it is impossible to get back the money spent.

As for snatching it back, it's not realistic, especially at this juncture.

Dillon, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at him dumbfounded, feeling a buzzing pain in his brain.

Spent out?!

That's two million dinars!

Even if the Legion's Dinar didn't spend it in the River Valley Province, it wouldn't have been spent so quickly, right?!

Ulen, who was standing on the side and didn't say anything the whole time, couldn't help but hold his forehead, and had a new understanding of the stupidity of his allies.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the will of the Holy Son to cooperate with the Chewing Bone Tribe, he couldn't help but start to wonder what the point of supporting this kind of pig teammate was.

Seeing that his staff officer stopped talking, Golden Tooth also knew that the speed at which he spent money was a little outrageous, so he coughed dryly and said.

"Don't be nervous, my friend, in two months, when the weather is hot, we will let the slaves grow some spirit leaves and sell them to the profiteers, that thing is much better than the dinar."

"Two months?! There's no way we've been fighting them for so long! ”

Dillon took a deep breath and continued.

"I can't count on the road of buying equipment for the time being, but I can't do it...... Let's get a few trucks first, string four 12mm heavy machine guns in a group and weld them, and it should be no problem to use them right away. ”

"This battle can't be dragged on for too long, and their industrial capacity may exceed my expectations! If they wait for them to gain a firm foothold in Qingshi County, it will be difficult to drive them out. ”

"When our anti-aircraft trucks are refitted, immediately go to the front line with the tank units and concentrate their forces on the offensive against the positions of the new alliance! Even if you fight out a few tanks, you have to gnaw down their positions! This is the best strategy! ”

After listening to the staff officer's advice, Goldtooth frowned.

Especially when he heard that a few tanks might be spelled out, he had already begun to feel pain before he could send out the tanks.

Those tanks are his treasures.

He would rather die a few more cannon fodder than have the slightest mistake in his baby bump. Human life in the wasteland is worthless, and there are some things that money can't buy.

"That kind of anti-aircraft truck...... Is it easy to make? ”

When Dillon heard this, he almost didn't get angry and hurt himself.

Whose problem the hell is this?!

Ulun, who was standing aside, sighed and interjected.

“…… The kind of propeller planes of the New Alliance fly very slowly, and as long as the density of the fire net is sufficient, it is not difficult to take them down while they are diving. ”

"I think your staff officer's advice is very good, the longer this battle drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for you."

Seeing that the apostles of the Torch Church also agreed, although the Golden Tooth was still a little hesitant in his heart, he also knew that he had to make a decision.

Ponder for a long time.

His right hand slapped on the arm of the chair, and Goldtooth made a decision.

"Just do as you say!"

……

Iron and Steel Plant No. 81.

In the center of the brand-new factory is a large aircraft with a length of nearly 20 meters and a wingspan of nearly 30 meters.

The nearly steep cabin and the straight wings are lined up with rows of sunken rivets. The wing is a cantilevered lower wing with two symmetrical electric motors mounted on the leading edge.

As for the tail, it consists of a cantilevered mid-flat tail and a single vertical tail, with a cabin entrance at the rear of the belly close to the tail.

The fuselage and wings of the entire aircraft are made of A3 aerospace aluminum, which is expensive to build.

Compared to the wooden glider produced by Goblin Technology, this aircraft is also significantly more like an airplane......

From the appearance, Chu Guang can roughly see that this thing should be an imitation of the C-47 twin-engine propeller transport aircraft from World War II.

Of course, the difference between the two is still a bit big.

Perhaps worried about the lack of power of the electric motor, the young players of the No. 81 steel plant installed an additional motor and propeller at the front of the nose, changing the original design of the twin-engine propeller to a three-engine.

There were no weapons on board, and even the cockpit was covered only with sherbet threads and a bare seat.

However, this did not prevent the small players of the No. 81 steel plant from having high hopes for this large aircraft, and even took its name -

H-1 "Dragonfly" universal aircraft!

Chu Guang, who was standing in the factory, walked around the plane, nodded approvingly, looked at the two players standing on the side and asked.

"Can this plane go to the sky?"

The expressions of Brother Toilet and Brother Levin were a little subtle.

Eventually, it was Brother Levine who coughed dryly and explained.

"Dear Administrator, this plane ...... It is still in the experimental stage, and it may be difficult to come in handy in a short time. ”

Ever since the friendly Goblin Technology got the glider out, they have been thinking about getting an airplane out as well.

However, due to the late start, the more criminal players in this area were poached by Goblin Technology and invested in the improvement project of the "W Series" aircraft, and the talent they could hire was limited, so the progress has not been very fast.

The prototype parked in the factory has been the result of more than two months of their work, and it has just finished the line, and it will take some time to install the power system.

Although there were some regrets, Chu Guang didn't say anything.

After all, it's useless to rush this kind of thing.

To be able to do this in such a short period of time, his players are already very good.

"How long will it take to put it into use?"

Faced with the manager's inquiry, Brother Toilet Suo hesitated for a while.

"It should be fine within a month...... If it's fast, maybe half a month, this depends on the test flight results. ”

One month.

Should be able to catch up.

At this time, Chu Guang's heart suddenly moved, and he spoke.

"Is there a way to mount a 37mm gun on the side of an aircraft?"

Brother Toilet Suo and Brother Levine's eyes lit up together.

"Side-mounted 37mm guns? Do you mean a gunboat-like design? ”

"We didn't think about this when we designed this aircraft, but the A3 aluminum has a high structural strength...... I don't think it's a big problem, you can try it! ”

Chu Guang nodded.

"If the 37mm gun can't withstand it, it's okay to change it to 20mm. In a month's time, our ground forces should be able to advance to the city of Xizhou. ”

"The terrain in the city is complex, there are too many bunkers, and the effectiveness of artillery and dive bombing is limited, so we need a support weapon that can efficiently and accurately clear out the ground forces of the Tooth Clan, and cooperate with our ground forces to complete the final clearance."

"How to design, please study more."

At this time, Chu Guang received news from Xiao Qi that the Burning Corps had returned from the front line by train and reassembled at the gate of the military camp in the north of Shuguang City.

Leaving the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant, Chu Guang went straight to the barracks.

As soon as he saw Chu Guang, Vanus immediately greeted him.

"How? Will that transport machine work? ”

Chu Guang shook his head.

"I can't use it for the time being, but it doesn't affect it."

Vanus was stunned, a little unsure of what he meant.

How can you fly from the sky without a transport plane?

Chu Guang didn't explain, just looked at the airport not far away, and the dozen or so pilots who were regrouping next to the airport.

Having made it back alive, these pilots have proven their mettle.

After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

"Although there are no transport aircraft, gliders are also possible."

It's a big deal, just fly a few more times!
