The scorching sun scorched the earth, as if it was about to steam out the last shred of moisture from the soil.

Unable to stand the scorching sun, the prostrate claw of death pulled its head and snorted listlessly.

"Whew--"

Living in the river valley province, it obviously can't adapt to the climate of Luoxia province. 2 However, after all, it is an organism that stands at the top of the food chain, and its super adaptability to the environment only makes it uncomfortable at best, but it is not so much that it cannot hold on. 5

The edge paddled and patted it lightly on the head.

"Good, just go to the oasis."

It is only 200 kilometers away from Oasis 3.

With Sector 1 of the G40 defense sector penetrated by the Skeleton Corps, the Coalition Army has infiltrated the rear of the G40 defense line with three corps totaling more than 6,000 troops.

It wasn't until a thousand-man team was defeated that the legion finally came to its senses. Just ten minutes earlier, a 100-man artillery team, twenty kilometers away, belatedly delivered area fire on position G40-1, raining at least 200 shells.

For a corps that was short of supplies, two hundred shells was already quite a lot.

However, the coalition did not stay long in the narrow gap of G40-1, and this round of shelling was completely lonely.

The location of the Death Corps is currently to the right of the Skeleton Corps.

According to the plan, their original goal was to go around to the rear of the 41st defense area in the northeast direction, quickly expand the gap in the defensive line with the mobility of the wolf cavalry, and cooperate with the living force of the 40,000th team of the Lion Kingdom Army Annihilation Legion who occupied the 40th position.

Now, though, things have changed.

The enemy's preparations were even more inadequate than expected, and the 40th thousand-man detachment did not hold out for even an hour before it collapsed.

Annihilating the enemy's living forces is no longer a top priority, and the alliance can take this opportunity to expand the results of the battle and further eliminate the higher-level "divisional command posts"!

The so-called division-level command post, that is, the command post of the 10,000-strong team, belongs to the highest level of command post on the front.

One level further up had to be the headquarters of the army group, where Griffin was located.

It is not realistic to push directly to the command of the group army in one wave, but the divisional command post can still think about it.

As long as it is taken there, all the defenses of the G40~49 section will be thrown into disarray.

Without the dispatch of the command system, the 1,000-man team will not be able to form effective mutual support with each other, and a solid defense area will be divided into isolated islands in an instant.

Even if these Willant officers are all superhumans, they will only be wiped out.

It is precisely because of this that the other party will not allow such a thing to happen.

According to the information provided by the pangolins, the command post of the 10,000-person corps is usually equipped with a 1,000-strong infantry team directly under the legion, as well as a 100-person artillery, communications, engineer, sergeant, and transport team, with a total strength of between 1,500 and 2,000.

And the distance to the front line is usually between 100 and 200 kilometers. Normally, a strategic depth of 150 kilometers takes two days if it is slow, and a day if it is fast.

But that's just the usual thing.

The Legion would not have imagined that the Alliance had not only tamed the Claw of Death, but had even used its characteristics to train a formed cavalry unit.

Tanks and trucks rely on paved roads.

But the animals don't need it.

Skirting his mount, he paddled to the front of the group and looked at the more than 3,000 brothers who were standing by in a line at the foot of the col.

More than 30% of them are new.

However, after half a month of "suicide training", even the latest newcomers to join the corps have become qualified fighters.

There is no need to doubt their combat effectiveness!

Glancing around at the brothers, he paddled on the communication system and spoke loudly.

"News from the command that Plan 3 is going well! The Burning Corps has not yet landed, and the enemy has already raised the white flag!"

"In less than an hour, we won the first phase of the operation!" Hearing that the battle was going so smoothly, all the players were interested

-Laugh.

Especially newcomers.

After being abused by the "pangolin" for half a month, most of the newcomers were nervous when they first entered the battlefield, and they were afraid that they would not do anything and drag everyone back.

As a result, not even the shadow of the enemy was seen, and the first stage of the campaign was already victorious.

Where is this wasteland. It's also a little postmodern!

The debtor standing in front of the team looked at the construction site boy and brick on the side, lowered his voice and made a joke.

"The goblin corps is so good at fishing for people's heads, I bet they must be there

scolded my mother. ”

"Hahaha!" The laughter has never been high, and the construction site boy and the brick couldn't help laughing.

The edge paddled the two guys with a blank look, ignored them, and continued in a loud voice.

"In order to consolidate the results of the battle, the command ordered the skeleton corps to continue to move forward and target the enemy's divisional command post!"

"At the same time, the mission on our side has also been adjusted, the original operation has been cancelled, and the miscellaneous troops in the 41st defense area will be handed over to our friendly forces to deal with. The new task given to us by the command command is to continue to advance to Heights 330, one hundred and fifty kilometers away!"

"There are the front teeth of the command post of the 40,000th troop! Unplug there, and we'll be able to shove the barrel of a tank into the enemy's mouth!"

The construction site boy and the brick laughed and shouted.

"Sir! How many people are there?"

The roller shampoo also smiled and followed.

"Is it enough for each of our brethren?"

The edge paddled and smiled heartily.

"That's not enough, according to aerial images, there is an anti-aircraft artillery position on the hill, and the deployment force is expected to be only a 100-man team."

The construction site boy snorted with the bricks.

"It's only a company."

"Even if there is only one company, don't be careless!" "Our enemy is not weak, they have clearly seen through our plan, and at least four thousand-man teams are moving from the front line to the rear along the road network. ”

"If they want to intercept the advancing Skeleton Corps, Heights 330 is the best option for them. Therefore we must take it before the enemy and cover the brethren of the Skeleton Corps through this last pass!"

As he spoke, the edge paddled and grinned.

"The deadline given to us by the command is twenty-four hours, but I think this deadline simply doesn't take our brothers' legs and feet into account!"

For some reason, the construction site boy and the brick suddenly couldn't help but be excited, muttering to themselves.

"I always have a bad feeling."

As if to match his hunch.

The next sentence of the Rim Guy confirmed his suspicions.

“... Five hundred wolf cavalry with five hundred brethren set out with me! Wear it in a straight line

Stick into the enemy's hinterland and try to reach your destination before midnight!"

"The rest of the people followed the construction site dude, and the means of transportation were limited...... It's just troublesome for the brothers of the power department to work hard!"

After that, without waiting for the group of power players to come back to their senses, they waved their hands at the edge of the water and gave the order with great momentum.

"Action!"

As the edge stroke was named in the communication channel, five hundred-man teams of agility players quickly stepped up and took on their teammates' deathclaws.

The movement was fast, as if I was afraid that my hands would run out.

"Brother, go first!" Debt Big Eyes smiled and patted the construction site guy on the shoulder, riding behind the edge paddling.

Looking at the dust that disappeared in the distance, and then at the more than 2,000 brothers and hundreds of bicycles and three-wheelers left behind, the construction site boy and brick had a crying and laughing expression.

It took a while for him to choke a word out of his mouth

"Blanch!"

This guy.

I really don't treat my brother as an outsider.

No, it should be inappropriate!

I don't know which version it started, but the original power system with unlimited scenery was used by everyone as a livestock. And the original version of the younger brother's intelligence department, with the emergence of a large number of neural connection equipment, seems to be not so wasteful.

Thinking of this, the construction site guy couldn't help but clench his fists.

Damn!

When will the power department be able to stand up!

Meng Xin, who was holding a shotgun in his arms, didn't know anything about what was about to happen, and walked forward excitedly, looking at the construction site and asking.

"Captain, what are we going to do now?"

Seeing this, the other newcomers also chattered excitedly and asked. "Do we intersperse too?" mouth

"How?"

The construction site boy and the brick scolded and rode on a three-wheeled car and stepped on the pedals hard

"Get in the car!"

Oasis No. 3, Legion Headquarters.

Hearing the information from the front, Griffin was stunned for a full minute, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.

The news of the breach of position G40-1 by the Union reached him almost at the same time as the rout of the 40th thousand.

If he hadn't known that the officers of the 40th Thousand Regiment were all Willants, he couldn't help but wonder if there was a ghost.

Otherwise, it simply doesn't explain why these idiots can't even last an hour. Seeing that General Griffin did not speak, the adjutant standing on the side swallowed his saliva and continued.

"According to the report of the 40,000 troops, the Coalition put the Iron Heart in the campaign and concentrated almost all the armored units......"

"At the moment, it shouldn't be a temptation, they are planning to fight us to the death."

Hearing this, Griffin's face became even more gloomy, like a dark cloud brewing in a storm, as if it could drip water.

Originally, according to his plan, that ultimatum could buy him at least a month, but he didn't expect the alliance to launch a full-scale offensive in just half a month.

This not only means that the whole battle situation will quickly slide against him, but also means that his previous series of deployments have become self-inflicted, and all the speculation and layout have become superfluous one-man shows.

The coalition guessed their logistics from the very beginning.

That's why they deliberately chose a position to "show weakness" to them, making them mistakenly think that the alliance's logistical situation was not much different from theirs, to the point that they couldn't even make up a few decent rifles.

It's just that Griffin still didn't expect the alliance to be so vicious!

In order to paralyze his subordinates, for this long-planned raid, he even let his own people go to death, sacrificing more than 3,000 people!

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and asked.

"What's going on with the 40,000-man squad now?"

The adjutant said with a nervous expression.

"Commander Softwanv ordered the main forces to retreat to Heights 330 to rebuild the defensive line and hold back the lone Union armored forces in depth. At the same time, they also mentioned in the telegram that they hoped that the 3rd and 50,000th teams would be able to attack the alliance's positions from the west and east and contain the alliance's forces. ”

Griffin looked at the strategic map spread out on the table, his eyes firmly locked on the location of 330 Heights, and his face suddenly changed.

"Tell Soft! Let him immediately shrink his line back!" The 4 adjutant was slightly stunned, with an embarrassed expression on his face. "Retreat? But—"

"No, it's too late!"

Griffin frowned, suddenly canceled the order, and continued to himself, "It is more dangerous to abandon the position at this time, and the tanks of the Alliance will soon catch up with them... … With the Iron Heart, once they leave cover, there is nowhere to hide. ”

Looking at General Griffin, who had a solemn expression, several officers standing on the side looked at each other.

Although the Alliance's combat effectiveness has exceeded their expectations again and again, no matter how it is said, they still have an army of 100,000 in their hands.

The situation is far from serious enough to be difficult to deal with. Griffin pondered for a long time before he commanded.

"Let the 'Sabre' and the 1st Army Aviation Squadron be transferred to the 30,000-man front-line airfield, ready to support the 40,000-man squadron at any time!"

The staff officer standing on the side cautioned.

"I'm afraid that the 'Sabre' and the 1st Army Aviation Squadron alone will not be able to deal with the 'Iron Heart', at most it will make them temporarily lose power."

"I know," Griffin said in a calm tone, "this is not a deployment against the Iron Heart. ”

The staff officer was slightly stunned.

"That's...

Without answering the question directly, Griffin looked at the map and spoke slowly.

"McLaren and I mentioned once that his Iron Heart was taken down by a group of airborne troops. At that time, I thought that he must be crazy, how could there be an airborne soldier in an air defense position composed of hundreds of anti-aircraft guns who could jump on an airship, and even if he jumped down, how many would he live?"

The officers in the tent looked at each other, exchanging surprises in each other's eyes. That does sound a bit ridiculous.

With the hedgehog-like barrel of the Iron Heart, let alone parachuting above its head, it may be difficult to drive the plane to its face!

After a pause, Griffin continued.

"But now, I suddenly feel that he is not crazy, nor is he joking."

"The Alliance's target is the command post of the 40,000th Troop, and their commander cannot be uncountable, no matter how fast their armored forces advance, and they cannot reach Heights 330 faster than the returning troops. That hill would be like a nail, jamming their tracks......"

"But even when it was obvious, they still ordered their armored forces to carry out this impossible task. There is only one possibility that such an anomaly is that their hole cards are not on the ground at all, but in the sky. ”

The adjutant standing on the side suddenly looked at General Griffin.

"What do you mean...... They intend to send airborne troops to attack Heights 330?!"

Griffin nodded slightly.

"Their planes seem to use a special material or coating, and the signal signature on the radar is smaller than that of a sparrow, and no matter what you think, sending airborne troops to sneak attack is the best strategy."

"And in order to ensure that the operation is smooth, they will definitely act at night!"

"In this way, they will not only be able to occupy Heights 330 before our return forces, but they will also be able to cooperate with the armored forces that have broken through from the G40-1 defense zone to encircle and suppress them."

As he spoke, the corners of General Griffin's mouth curled up into a sneer.

"Heh, these guys have a big appetite!"

The adjutant's face gradually became solemn.

"According to you, isn't the situation of the 40,000 troops dangerous......

Griffin didn't answer the question, but looked at the correspondent on the side and ordered in a decisive tone.

"Send a telegram to Soft and tell him to wait until after dark, and immediately send the 1,000-man team directly under him to Heights 330!"

The staff officer looked at the general in a daze.

"But in this way, wouldn't the defense of the front-line command post be ......"

Griffin said without hesitation.

"Even if they don't have that direct team of 1,000 people, they still have six teams of 100 people, which is enough to deal with emergencies. And if they can't hold the 330th heights, it will be the same for them to have more than 1,000 people. ”

If you hesitate, you will lose!

With that little infantry, it was impossible for Soft to hold off the attack of Union tanks in an open area.

Now that it is certain that the alliance will send airborne troops to raid Heights 330. 3. Rather than sit back and wait, it is better to gamble.

With that, Griffin continued to look at the correspondent who was burying his head in the light of the note-taking, and ordered sharply.

"In addition, immediately call the 3rd and 50,000th teams, and ask them to immediately deploy troops to support the 40,000th team!"

Putting away the smoky fountain pen, the correspondent immediately stood up and gave a military salute.

"Yes!"

At the same time, the front-line positions of the alliance.

Under the cover of the Goblin Corps, twenty "Dragonfly" transport planes carrying the Burning Corps landed on the temporary runway one after another.

As the transport planes came to a stop, the ground crew pushing the forklift quickly stepped forward to replace the battery modules of the aircraft.

At the same time, the cabin door was clocked in, and players wearing exoskeletons walked out of the cabin one after another, carrying umbrella bags and rifles.

Everyone had a gloomy expression on their faces, and they cursed.

"MMP! This wave is simply lonely!"

"That's it! I'm not even happy yet! Why is it gone!"

"+1! Blame the dog for blowing up the mosquitoes too hard!"

"This licking is also so clean!" Stand next to the plane.

Looking at the scolding airborne troops, a trace of strange expressions were written on the faces of several Lion Kingdom ground staff.

"What are they talking about?"

"I don't know...... It doesn't seem to be a human language. ”

"But it sounds like a complaint."

"Is it because the war is not going well?" A young ground crew member muttered something in a low voice, which happened to be heard by the Alliance engineer who was overhauling the aircraft next to him.

The latter grinned at the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes in the direction of the group of airborne troops, and said casually.

"It's not that it didn't go well, on the contrary, it was so smooth that it ended without even a chance to make a move."

Several ground staff exchanged blank glances in each other's eyes, completely unaware of what the sentence meant.

Too smooth?

So what's there to complain about?

The young man who had guessed that the battle was not going well looked at the alliance engineer who was overhauling the equipment in a daze and asked with a puzzled expression.

"I don't understand...... Isn't it a good thing that it's going well?"

"It's a good thing, it means that the friendly forces do the work for them, but it's not something to be happy about. The honor that belongs to a warrior needs to be achieved on the battlefield after all. Rather than hiding behind friendly forces, they are more eager to burn on the most dangerous front lines, because that is the glory that belongs to the Burning Corps. ”

The engineer paused, and continued nonchalantly.

"As for death, it's nothing but a return...... I heard from one of them when I was drinking at the Highway Hotel before. ”

After hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces were moved, and they instantly looked at the back of the majestic shore.

His heart was also shocked, and the young man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"What a bunch of crazy people......"

But as soon as he said this, the young man realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his expression, so he wanted to take it back.

However, the Alliance Engineer didn't care, tossed the wrench in his hand, and replied casually.

"If it's for plunder, it's really crazy."

"But if it's for the sake of faith, for ideals, for the protection of the inhabitants of the Alliance, or other great things......

"That's the hero!"

The young man stared at the Coalition engineer in front of him in a daze.

Although he didn't fully understand this sentence, he faintly felt it in his heart—a touch, as if a seed had been planted inadvertently.

Few people realize.

The Alliance soldiers who fought alongside them not only left an extraordinary impression on them, but also unconsciously changed their minds......

The other side.

Next to the temporary runway.

Lao Bai, who was wearing the "dragoon" power armor, walked in front of the brothers of the Burning Corps with heavy steps.

"New Mission!"

Night Ten teased.

"Where are you going for a ride this time?"

Seeing that this kid was still worried about the cancellation of the previous operation, Lao Bai glanced at everyone and said with a grin.

"The manager said that the stage of the No. 40 defense area is too small for us to show our talents, so let's play a big game this time."

Quit smoking's eyes suddenly showed interest, and he hurriedly asked.

"How old?"

"40,000 Troop Command Post!" Lao Bai's eyes were blazing and he continued, "According to

Pangolin intelligence, there are at least one or two thousand people stationed there

As soon as he heard about one or two thousand people, Ye Shi was instantly excited.

"! A regiment?!"

Quit smoking: "!!"

Looking at the excited teammates, Lao Bai said with a smile.

"This time, the Skeleton Corps, like our goal, is to paralyze the command system of the 40,000th Legion. But they're still getting motion sickness on the road, and they won't be able to get ahead of us this time. ”

The wind standing on the side didn't have much obvious change in mood, and just asked briefly.

"What time do you leave?"

"After dark!" Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "What? There is a class today

?”

Tempest nodded calmly.

"Well, I'll have to take a leave of absence later."

(I was going to write more...... As a result, the second half of the paragraph is still not finished, which is a shame)
