To the east of Saifan Harbor, a five-meter-wide stream runs across the middle of endless farmland.

With picturesque rural idylls on the left and bomb craters and smoke on the right, the whole wilderness seems to be divided into two distinct worlds by a stream.

A bridge made of steel and concrete, connecting heaven and hell.

That's the bridge the Legion built for the Empire.

And now heavy trucks with six pairs of heavy wheels were running over the bridge, and under the numb gaze of the tenants and serfs, they were slaughtering to the east.

It was the 300,000th regiment of the Southern Corps.

At the same time, it is also one of the few armored 10,000 troops in the Southern Army.

In addition to the loaded soldiers and artillery guns with teeth and claws, there are also shiny armored "Conqueror X" heavy tanks!

The target of this long dragon, which is not in sight, is none other than the Lion City, the capital of the Lion State.

Although Borneo was not originally part of the Southern Army's plan for the first phase of the offensive, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the coalition bombers taking off from the Niuzhou airfield posed a great threat to the Southern Army's supply lines to the three northern states.

According to the usual style of the corps, it is natural that there is a threat to solve the threat, and it is a big deal to fight on two fronts, and the east and the north are beaten together.

So, on the second day after Captain Otlewan's attack on Surak County in the north of Lion State, General Gurion deployed another 5 10,000 troops to the eastern front, led by Captain Ryan of the 300,000th Brigade, preparing to take the entire Lion State and Niu State further east in one fell swoop.

According to intelligence, Yudono, who was stationed in Lion City, gathered 200,000 troops to defend!

That's almost one-tenth of the entire Borneo army, but Ryan doesn't pay any attention to it.

I heard that these 200,000 troops can't even muster 20,000 guns, and many of them are slaves and farmers coerced by the Heavenly King Army, and their combat effectiveness can't even catch up with their clone cannon fodder.

No matter how many of these things there are, they don't work.

It's just 200,000 animals, and at most it takes a little time to slaughter.

Sitting on the command car, the burly man looked at the military newspaper in his hand, and there was a trace of disdain on the corner of his upturned mouth.

After a moment, he sighed and flipped a page of the newspaper in his hand.

“…… It's just that I caught an alliance spy, and I'm excited about these guys. ”

This person is none other than Ryan, the commander of the 300,000th team, with the rank of one-star captain. Sitting next to him was his staff officer, Fevlett, a bespectacled man with high eyebrow bones.

Looking at the disdainful pouting chief, Fevrett pushed the frame on the bridge of her nose.

"I heard that guy seems to be a diplomat of the alliance, but it's a pity that his mouth is not ordinarily strict, no matter how the interrogators torture him, he didn't ask anything useful."

For this kind of loyal guy, even if it is an enemy, he actually admires it in his heart.

But admiration is admiration.

From the enemy's standpoint, he only felt sorry and stupid for this foolish loyalty, but it was a pity that this young man followed the wrong person.

Looking at the staff officer with a look of pity, Ryan sneered and said nonchalantly.

"I don't think you're right, those guys are just wasting their time, isn't General Gurion's meaning clear enough? Don't waste saliva if you can do it. ”

Fevrett made a helpless expression.

"That being said, it would be nice to pry some useful information out of that captive's mouth. Like what...... The specific deployment of the 'volunteers' of the alliance will also be more helpful for our follow-up plans. ”

Like most of the officers of the Southern Legion, he had never paid attention to the resistance in Borneo, but he could not ignore the threat from the Alliance.

Those guys are real ruthless people.

And it's not just ruthless, there is also a rumor that they are able to directly manipulate the clone soldiers, using complex equipment to fight.

If the rumors are true, this battle may not be as easy as those main battle factions imagined.

A legion of "undead" people......

It's chilling just to think about.

Unlike Fevewlett, who was worried about it, Ryan didn't pay much attention to it, just pouted his lips unconcernedly.

"It doesn't matter if you look at the cards in their hands or not, this victory is not a suspense for us...... These guys have been on the top for too long, and they don't look at what kind of animals they are protecting. ”

He was setting foot on the land for the first time, and the survivors here gave him the feeling of writhing maggots in a dung pit.

As a radical in the main battle faction, he looked down on all races except the Willants, but he rarely despised a certain race as such, so much so that even McClan, who was kind to them, despised him.

Isn't that guy soft-hearted?

The commander named Rose couldn't see it, and he was still being tricked, but he could see it at a glance.

The guy had been farting since he came ashore, yelling that it was too cheap for the locals to kill people directly, and that he would torture them with gray mercenaries to relieve his anger, and when he found out that this idea was unrealistic, he changed his tune and shouted for them to dig a hole for themselves......

Toughness is not shouted out of the mouth.

All of that guy's tough-looking gestures were nothing more than showmanship, and every idea that sounded vicious ended up being procrastination.

Rose didn't even realize he was being tricked.

He didn't need to listen to the officers of the Eastern Legion at all, but he was stunned by the messenger who dragged that guy to the Alliance, and then made a grinding trial.

There is no need for them to negotiate at all, they just go on a killing spree, and then it is enough to ask for a price.

Maybe others have different opinions, but at least in Ryan's opinion, it was because the trial of the twisting was not thorough enough that a family meeting came out later, so they had to open another killing ring, so that the group of restless writhing maggots were shocked.

And just as he was thinking this, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in front of him, and even the carriage he was in shook with the violent vibration.

Ryan's face changed, and he immediately picked up the communicator and shouted.

"What's going on up ahead?"

A hurried tone came from the communication channel.

"It's a landmine...... Our mine protection vehicle triggered an anti-armor mine installed in the middle of the road. Fortunately, the mine was detonated ahead of schedule, and there were no casualties, General. ”

Ryan was relieved to hear that there were no casualties, but his heart was alert.

The Borneo had mined their marching routes, apparently anticipating the actions of the Southern Legion.

With his eyes narrowing slightly, Ryan hung up the call, and then called his subordinates to the 1,000th team.

“…… Renekton, get your men out of the car and go to the front of our convoy to reconnoitre, we're going to pick up the enemy. ”

A clean answer soon came from the other end of the communication channel.

"Yes!"

……

At the same time that Captain Ryanwan's order was given, trucks of Conqueror V light tanks were unloaded from the transport trucks.

This armored unit was scattered into arrow-shaped formations in units of 100 people, and a "protective umbrella" made of steel was propped up in front of the entire large army.

Not only that, but more than a dozen "Greyhound" reconnaissance vehicles carrying reconnaissance groups were cruising in front of the armored spearheads.

The small wheeled armor resembles nimble sled dogs, the antenna on the top of the turret sways back and forth like a fishing rod, and the stubby twenty-millimeter barrel glows coldly.

Looking at the murderous armored troops in front of him, Ye Shi, who was lying in the grass in the distance, couldn't help but smash his tongue, and muttered in a low voice.

"Mom...... What about the main forces of the Southern Corps, which were said to be artillery and infantry? This tank feels like there's more to it than the Griffin guy. ”

Wind, who was lying next to him, let out an "um" and silently held the telescope to continue to observe.

Long before the expansion began, the two moved from the swampy Ice Sea City District to Borneo.

In fact, it's not just them who are here, but also some of the Academy's NPCs.

That ancient contract was signed in the presence of the Rift Valley and the Academy.

The Legion would be mistaken to think that the only resistance to eastward expansion is corporations and alliances, and the fleeing groups in the north have never stopped meddling in the affairs of the wasteland.

In fact, they are the ones who interfere the most actively.

The company's board of directors is still holding hearings on the budget, and the academy's research ship has crossed the Chobar Mountains in the southern part of the province of Rookxia, ready to get started.

It was not clear what exactly was going on, after all, everything he knew was heard from Jiang Xuezhou, and this kind of matter involving the secret agreement between the academy and the top level of the alliance, she naturally could not have the authority to know about it.

Anyway, these things are not their concern.

After returning to the team, the two took a plane to the front line, and took advantage of the night to parachute to the western part of the Lion State, engaged in reconnaissance and sabotage of communication lines behind enemy lines.

This kind of thing is also familiar to the two veteran players who participated in the Battle of Luoxia, and the previous anti-armor mine was released by Night Ten.

Although it is a pity that there are no big fish blown up and only one mine protection vehicle is broken, it can be considered to have achieved the goal of delaying the marching speed of the legion.

Seeing the convoy march away, Hurricane put down the binoculars in his hand and said in a low voice.

“…… I'm afraid that the legion has used at least five divisions this time, and the Lion City may be in danger. ”

A biomimetic chip implanted in his cerebral cortex is connected to a fixed-wing drone cruising at high altitude.

While looking through the telescope, he was also looking down on the ground through the lens of the drone.

Ye Shi stared at the map for a while, and muttered.

“…… How can 200,000 people hold out for a while? What's more, there is Elder Brother Fang to help them. ”

Tempest shook his head.

"It's hard to say...... The armored division that passed in front of us just now had more than 300 tanks alone, which is already more than the tractors of the entire Borneo country. ”

And that's just counting tanks, not counting the self-propelled guns of the support companies and the reconnaissance vehicles and armored vehicles of the reconnaissance companies.

As for the flying in the sky, not to mention, while these armored units were racing all the way, the "Horn" airship was also slowly moving forward.

But......

It's just like what Ye Shi said, after all, there is a long way for them to help.

Even if you can't stop the Legion's torrent of steel, there's nothing wrong with delaying for a while.

……

Just as Night Ten and Tempest were packing up their equipment and preparing to move, the 301st Thousand Troops led by Renekton had already exchanged fire with the 30,000 Men of Borneo!

Drawing on the experience of the previous defeat, this time the Borneo Army did not try to stop the Legion's offensive with a solid position, but instead referred to the Mammoth's strategy of adopting a "resilient defensive line" to tear the Legion's armored spearhead with small forces, and then annihilate the stagnant troops with artillery.

One thing to say, this strategy is actually effective, the fire of the airship requires a certain safe distance, and no matter how fierce the fire of the Horn is, it is impossible to fire at the face of friendly troops, at most it will counter the long-range firepower of Borneo.

And as long as the long-range firepower of Borneo is deployed far enough, even if the legion's airship sees it, it can only be in a hurry.

However, this strategy, while good, has a fatal flaw.

That is, neither Absec himself nor the other officers from the Gray Wolf Army below had any experience in guerrilla warfare.

Although Rasi sent some officers of the Moon Resistance Army to help, they were not trusted by Absec and served as staff officers or instructors.

This led to an extremely embarrassing situation, the anti-tank team carrying RPGs and recoilless guns was caught by reconnaissance vehicles cruising nearby before they could touch the side of the 1,000-man team in Renekton.

Seeing that his troops had been exposed, the "Greyhound" reconnaissance vehicles flanked like hunting wolves, and the Borneo centurion, who was in the vanguard, could only blow the whistle of the attack even if he was reluctant to do so.

"——!Shh

A loud whistle sounded across the battlefield.

Hearing the order to attack, the soldiers in straw hats straightened up half of their bodies from the grass and carried the RPG bazooka in their hands to complete the preparation for kneeling shooting.

"Fire !!"

With a roar that bordered on despair, the ten-captain crouching on the front line quickly pulled the trigger first.

An RPG rocket dragged a thick tail flame like a crossbow arrow from a string towards the reconnaissance vehicle a hundred meters away.

However, to his despair, the circumnavigating reconnaissance vehicle was only an acceleration, and easily dodged the speeding rockets.

Not to mention hitting the target, he didn't even scratch the opponent's taillight!

The flames of the fire revealed his position, and more than a dozen armor-piercing incendiary rounds were quickly fired.

The ten-captain didn't even have time to let out a muffled grunt before he was shattered to pieces by the rain of bullets, and only half of his body was pressed down beside the bushes.

Seeing that the commander was killed in front of him, the soldiers who were squatting on the side suddenly became angry.

Ignoring the object's hideousness, a soldier rushed up to pick up the rocket launcher and the ammunition pouch with the rockets stuck on the ground.

And the other soldiers carrying bazookas did not hesitate to pull the trigger, trying to avenge their commander.

Rocket after rocket pounced on the reconnaissance vehicles of the regiment.

However, the latter was too maneuverable, and the distance was too far, and most of those rockets fell in the air.

Looking at the "toothpicks" that only poked out of the grass, the Willant centurion sitting in the command car laughed mockingly, then removed the walkie-talkie hanging on the side of the turret and ordered.

"The 'rat' came out of the hole early, pay attention to keep a safe distance, and approve the fire!"

The rustle of electricity was soon heard.

"Received ——!"

At the same time that the order was issued, the dozen or so "Greyhound" reconnaissance vehicles no longer concealed their needs, and while continuing to maintain a driving posture of circling, they spewed out tongues of fire from the erect barrels.

"Bang Bang Bang ——!"

The roaring cannon was like a continuous drum beat, and the tracer light that shot like a rain of rain swooped down on the Borneo hundred-man squad crouching at the edge of the low woods.

The soldiers at the front were instantly torn into a mist of blood, and then the soldiers at the back were also swept in.

There is simply no chance to dodge, and there is simply no cover to dodge.

The anti-tank men in the exposed position were soon crushed into pulp by the howling storm along with the tree trunks beside them.

Looking at his subordinates who had been killed in succession, the centurion, who had a short whistle in his mouth, widened his eyes and his eyes were about to split.

In less than half a minute, half of the familiar faces were gone.

Unable to contain the anger in his heart, he snatched a recoilless cannon and slung it on his shoulder, and crawled out of the crater.

"Don't let these big noses rush past unscathed!"

"It's death! I also want to get another one for Lao Tzu! ”

The recoilless gun unfortunately missed.

Not only that, but almost the next second he pulled the trigger, the thick trail swept towards his position, tearing him to shreds along with the recoilless gun he was carrying on his shoulder.

However, although the recoilless cannon was missed, his death aroused the anger in the hearts of all the soldiers.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old soldier gritted his teeth and crawled forward in the bustle of fire above his head until he was just within a safe distance of the armor-piercing bullet.

Looking at the reconnaissance vehicle driving to the side in front, he directly put the bazooka on himself in a lying position, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The tail flame that sprayed backwards directly roasted half of his buttocks, and the pain almost made him faint.

However, the reconnaissance vehicle he was aiming at was obviously much worse than him, and was directly hit on the front of the car by this rocket that flew up from the bottom up.

The hot jet of metal drilled a hole in the hull of the car and poured into the cabin in an instant.

Two of the three crew members were killed and one seriously injured in an instant, and the paralyzed reconnaissance vehicle broke down directly on the side of the road.

The boy was about to cheer excitedly, but before he could open his mouth, a rain of bullets from the side pushed him directly into the dirt.

"Ahh!!hh Damn! Give Lao Tzu to die! ”

Seeing his teammate's vehicle break down, the Wilantes observer sitting under the turret of another reconnaissance vehicle instantly turned red, and his index finger welded to the firing trigger was eager to pinch off the steel piece.

Listening to the clanging sound coming from the armor shell overhead, the driver who stepped on the accelerator roared behind him.

"Enough! Jimmy, that guy is dead! There's one more in front of us! ”

"Roger!"

The observer gritted his teeth and let go of the minced meat, reaiming at the target in front of him, venting all his anger on the tongue of fire that erupted from the barrel.

"! Lao Tzu fought with you!! ”

As both sides saw blood, both groups of people were completely killed.

However, this asymmetrical battle itself does not have any suspense.

As a Conquistador 10 Heavy Tank and a Conquistador 5 Light Tank drove closer, the death of the guerrilla force was almost declared.

Two deafening roars sounded, and the thigh-thick trees fell in an instant, and the soldiers hiding next to them were even more shocked and misplaced, completely incapacitated.

More than two dozen Willant soldiers wearing exoskeletons quickly jumped out of the armored vehicle and split into two groups to search the woods, firing at the few remaining Borneo soldiers.

In order to avenge the dead brothers, this group of angry Willant soldiers had no intention of keeping prisoners at all, and even aimed at the lower bodies in order to torture these blind guys for a while longer.

But as it happened, the Borneo soldiers on the opposite side were the same, and they had no intention of surrendering at all.

They have sacrificed more than a hundred brothers, and they are not missing a few of themselves.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Willants, they did not flee, and fought until the last moment with weapons that were not very elite, and then were killed by the people who surrounded them in the most brutal way.

The Wilantes who surrounded them did not notice that although these guys were still Brahmans, they were no longer the same as the Brahmans of the Xilan Empire.

Although their equipment is still outdated, they already have a cohesion that they did not have before.

Even in the face of a battle with no chance of winning, they will no longer run away with their heads in their hands as before......

The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour.

The 30,000-strong anti-tank hundred-man squad of Borneo was annihilated by the formation, and none of them survived!

On the side of Renekton's thousand-man team, only one "Greyhound" reconnaissance vehicle was paralyzed, and two crew members died.

The seriously injured communications soldier was rescued and out of danger and was sent back to Xifan Harbor for treatment, along with the broken down "Greyhound" reconnaissance vehicle.

The previous surprise armor-piercing bullet only damaged its engine, but did not damage the fuel tank or ammunition rack.

Tow it to the repair shop for repairs, replace it with a new crew, and soon be able to return to the front line.

The same goes for the communications man.

The metal shrapnel removed from his body will be used to make the Medal of Honor awarded to him.

The Southern Legion will replace him with a prosthetic body that is better than a severed limb, and allow him to return to the glorious battlefield after recovery.

Knowing the situation of the front-line troops, the expression on the face of the commander of the Recton did not change, but he reported the casualties to his superiors, and then made the next step of deployment step by step.

It's just a team of 100, and for him it's not even a grasshopper in the middle of the road.

With the military strength of Borneo, only the armed forces of 10,000 people are worthy of him to look at it twice.

He was held back by a centurion for fifteen minutes, and even killed two people, which only made him think that the centurion of the scout team was extremely stupid.

Let a group of rats bite two people to death, and simply kill themselves to apologize......

Regrouped, the armored thousand-man team led by Renekton continued to advance in the direction of Lion City.

Twelve "Dagger" fighters, covering two reconnaissance aircraft, whizzed directly above the armored unit in which he was located.

It didn't take long for the brothers of the Air Force to report to them what they had detected - a scattered straggler unit was standing in front of them, about 10,000 in size, with a certain amount of anti-tank equipment.

This force is probably the elite of Borneo, and it is not clear that there are "volunteers" of the alliance to accompany them.

After learning the news, whether it was Captain Ryan who was sitting in the rear or Captain Renekton who was sitting on the front line, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a cruel smile.

What is a captive?

This wave they can catch hundreds!

Removing the walkie-talkie hanging from the turret, Renekton pressed the burning battle intent in his heart and gave the order in a sonorous voice.

"Attention units! The main forces of the enemy are five kilometers directly in front of us! ”

"Suspected enemy targets are found and active firefights are allowed!"

"Unless it's an alliance guy, you don't have to deliberately keep your mouth alive!"

Uniform answers soon came from the communication channel.

"Yes!!"

The friction of the tracks and the roar of the engines resounded throughout the wilderness.

The running armor was like a knight ready to charge, and it had already revealed the sharp spear and sword in its hand.

In contrast to the earth-shaking roar, a forest four kilometers away was silent.

If you hadn't looked closer, you wouldn't even be able to see the armor hidden in the shade.

Leaning against a stout pine tree, Lao Bai, who was "closing his eyes and recuperating", suddenly opened his eyes and gave Fang Chang, who was standing next to him, a sure look.

"Here they are."

At the moment when the words fell, the visor of the power armor helmet was also closed.

After removing the "pigeon" missile launcher on his back, Lao Bai skillfully completed the loading of the "pigeon" in just a few seconds.

At the same time, a pair of tightly closed eyes also opened at the same time.

The armor that was silent in the woods seemed to be infused with a soul, and it moved like an awakened heroic spirit.

Since yesterday morning, 500 elite members of the Burning Corps have been parachuted into this area one after another by plane, and have completed their assembly in an orderly manner.

On standby, half of them are on alert online, and half are waiting offline.

Turning off the mask of the exoskeleton helmet, Fang Chang stretched out his index finger and tapped it twice on the helmet, switching the communication channel to all, and said in a sonorous voice.

“…… The armored units of the Southern Corps are in front! These drunks rushed very fast, leaving their allies completely behind, and they didn't take us seriously at all, someone had to stand up and sober them up! ”

"Everyone is ready to fight!"

"Take out your housekeeping skills and annihilate their armor to the maximum!"

"Kill them!"

The battle intent that burned in a pair of eyes was no less than that of the roaring armor.

In the face of the billowing smoke, high-spirited answers echoed in the communication channels.

"Kill !!"
