Chapter 235: Soldier Digital Continent
Facing the fierce firepower of the militia of the Blue Dragon Empire, the demons who were manipulating Palu in the back also knew that they would not be able to take advantage of this time, so they quickly issued the order to retreat.
Before Cai Xiaojun and the others could react, most of those Palu retreated without a trace, leaving only some unlucky people with inconvenient legs and feet after being injured were left behind.
After Cai Xiaojun led his soldiers to arrest these injured Palu one by one, he and several of his officers came to the coast to check on them, and found that those demons didn't know what method they used, and made a lot of dense fog on the sea, so that they couldn't see where the other party was retreating from the shore at all.
In desperation, Cai Xiaojun was only able to leave 500 soldiers to continue to garrison and help Zhang Daotian and them clean up the battlefield and build defensive positions, while he himself took 300 soldiers to escort the dozens of wounded Palu who were captured alive and some of the rare materials that Palu had exploded back to 047 Town.
After the statistics, in addition to the Wa Kingdom, the other vassal countries of the Blue Dragon Empire were also attacked by Palu and Digimon in the next few days, because the equipment and strength of the servant troops of these vassal countries could not be compared with the troops of the Blue Dragon Empire, so although this attack, the strength of the Palu and Digimon sent by those demons was not very strong, but the damage caused was even greater than the last attack on the Blue Dragon Empire, and the production of those vassal countries was also greatly affected.
As far as Ye Tianlong knew, some of the enemy troops, even after defeating the defenders near the coastline, continued to burn and loot all the way inland, causing great damage, and countless civilians were killed along the way.
And those enemies all ran away after the fight, so that Ye Tianlong had no chance to fight back.
In the end, he could only choose to continue to forbear, and let the major military factories continue to seize the time to produce all kinds of weapons and equipment, as long as these weapons and equipment were produced, he would launch a counterattack and directly send troops to attack the Digital Continent and the Phantom Beast Continent.
At the same time, he also mobilized more militia and regular soldiers to go to other vassal states for reinforcements, at least not to let those enemies swagger into the interior again to wreak havoc, as for those coastal people, they also have to temporarily go to the inland areas for a short time, so that those demons can not find their target even if they want to kill and destroy.
In this way, after being aggrieved for more than two months, Ye Tianlong finally felt that all kinds of equipment had been produced, and he was ready to start a counterattack.
During this time, although the major shipyards were in full swing, because it was very difficult to produce large warships such as battleships, they reluctantly increased their number to thirty, and as for cruisers, they produced as many as ninety, and the smallest destroyers produced as many as one hundred and sixty.
As for the tanks used in land warfare, Ye Tianlong is now divided into three classes like warships, namely heavy tanks, medium tanks and light tanks.
Among them, the largest heavy tank has a length of 18 meters, a width of about 6 meters, an average armor thickness of 300 mm, a caliber of 150 mm for its main gun, and a caliber of 80 mm for two secondary guns, all three guns are mounted on a single turret, which is distributed in a zigzag shape, the main gun is located behind the hull, and in front of it is the turret of two main guns, but the turret of the main gun is higher than the turret of the secondary gun, so that it can rotate freely at 360 degrees. In addition, it was equipped with a coaxial machine gun and a high-level dual-purpose machine gun mounted on the roof of the car, both of which were fifteen mm caliber heavy machine guns.
The medium tank is about 12 meters long and 5 meters wide, the average armor thickness is 200 mm, and there is only one artillery gun, which is 120 mm caliber, and it is also equipped with a coaxial machine and a high-level dual-purpose heavy machine gun.
The smallest light tank was only about eight meters in length and four meters in width, with an average armor thickness of only 100 millimeters, and there was also only one artillery gun, which was 100 millimeters caliber, and it was also equipped with a coaxial machine and a high-level dual-purpose heavy machine gun.
Compared with battleships, even those heavy tanks are actually far less troublesome to manufacture, after all, even the smallest destroyers are more than 100 meters long, and there are dozens of various guns on them, as well as torpedoes and various anti-aircraft machine guns to be installed. Therefore, during this period of time, the Blue Dragon Empire produced as many as 300 heavy tanks, as many as 600 medium tanks, and as many as 1,200 light tanks. As for vehicles such as armored reconnaissance vehicles and armored personnel carriers of various types, more than eight thousand units were produced.
In addition, the weapons and equipment of the regular soldiers and militia have also been replaced, and even many units of the third-line servant army have been equipped with some old-fashioned artillery pieces that have been eliminated by the first- and second-line troops, which has greatly strengthened their combat effectiveness.
And Ye Tianlong during this period of time, he also successfully broke through his own cultivation to the innate sevenfold, and even his master Li Rufeng, with the help of his daily transmission of true qi, his body quickly recovered from postpartum weakness, and his cultivation successfully broke through to the innate fivefold.
In addition, there are also three people under his command who have successfully broken through to the innate sevenfold, namely Lin Chong, Shi Wengong and Lu Junyi. Among them, Lin Chong and Shi Wengong have very high martial arts talents, and they joined Ye Tianlong's command early, so they started to practice the martial arts taught by Li Rufeng earlier than other generals, as for Lu Junyi, although he joined relatively late, he couldn't stand this guy's ridiculously high martial arts talent, and at the same time, he was simple-minded, and he usually didn't even play with women, so he stayed at home and practiced hard, so he and Ye Tianlong generally became the first batch of masters in the Qinglong Empire to break through to the innate sevenfold.
At this time, the grain harvest in the whole country was also in waves, and the grain in the major warehouses was full.
When the soldiers were sufficient, Ye Tianlong directly ordered the troops. At this time, the number of regular soldiers under his command has increased to 800,000, and he left 200,000 soldiers under the command of his master Li Rufeng to guard the homeland, while he himself led 600,000 soldiers and 1 million militiamen, preparing to attack the Digital Continent with all his strength first, after all, from the many battles, the Digimon on the Digital Continent are obviously stronger and have greater potential. The strongest of the Paru on the Phantom Beast Continent is only on par with the more powerful mature Digimon like Demon Beast. And the Digimon on the Digital Continent, the last time it was a fully formed Digimon, there were four of them, and I don't know how many Digimon are still in the country! Therefore, in order to be able to take it down with one blow, Ye Tianlong will go all out to attack it.
Standing on the bow of a battleship, Ye Tianlong looked at the seemingly calm sea in front of him, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance in his heart, after all, among those Digimon, there were many aquatic existences, so the fleet must always be on guard against the other party's sneak attack.
In order to be able to transport more than a million troops and all kinds of weapons and equipment, this time the Blue Dragon Empire dispatched thousands of large transport ships alone, which was not enough, and many soldiers and armed forces were piled up on those warships. In order to protect the transports that were not very capable of fighting, hundreds of warships formed a defensive line on the perimeter and would attack as soon as they detected the presence of enemy forces.
However, the demons did hold their breath this time, and did not launch a single attack in the three days after the fleet departed. The other party either doesn't want to attack the army of the Blue Dragon Empire halfway, or they are gathering forces and preparing to play a big game.
Ye Tianlong was more inclined to the latter, so he asked his subordinates not to relax their vigilance, always observing the situation under the sea, and those warships equipped with sonar and radar were constantly scanning the water and the sky, not giving the enemy a chance to sneak attack.
Just as Ye Tianlong guessed, those demons were secretly gathering forces and preparing to launch a large-scale attack, so that the army of the Blue Dragon Empire suffered heavy losses before it reached the Digital Continent. On the fifth day after the Blue Dragon Empire's fleet departed, more than 50,000 aquatic Digimon launched an attack on the fleet.
Because the Sea Demon Beast in charge of the navy last time was killed by the dragon, this time it was a Super Sea Dragon that was in charge of these Digimon.
The strength of this fully formed Super Sea Dragon Beast was not much worse than that Sea Demon Beast, because in the middle of the sea, its combat power was even more amazing, and with the cooperation of many Digimon, this guy launched an attack on Ye Tianlong's flagship as soon as he appeared.
And those battleships of the Blue Dragon Empire naturally did not sit still, and the naval guns above immediately began to roar in unison, and began to bombard those Digimon, and under the water, a dense sea of torpedoes rushed towards the Digimon.
Because the range of the battleship's artillery and torpedoes is longer than that of most Digimon, those Digimon were killed by the dense artillery fire and torpedoes before they could get close to the fleet of the Blue Dragon Empire, because many corpses sank directly into the seawater, Ye Tianlong didn't know how many kills, only knew that the main guns of the battleship he was on were overheated, so he had to fire with the secondary guns first, so that the main guns could have time to cool down.
And because of the secondary artillery fire, the firepower has been weakened, and soon some Digimon are about to approach the flagship under the bombardment of artillery fire.
Seeing this, Ye Tianlong immediately mounted a golden dragon and slashed at those Digimon.
As the battle intensified, more than 30,000 flying Digimon appeared in the sky and attacked.
Ye Tianlong had already expected this, those demons just wanted to let the fastest air force launch a surprise attack when their fleet was fully dealing with the enemy in the sea, and take their own side by surprise.
It's a pity that those demons didn't expect that, under Ye Tianlong's reminder, the soldiers in the fleet had already expected this, and all kinds of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire one after another, and even some tanks mounted on the transport ships were driven out by people, and the high-level dual-purpose machine guns on them were fired at the flying Digimon who were diving down from the sky to attack.
The powerful firepower network smashed most of the flying Digimon into a sieve in mid-air, leaving only lifeless corpses to fall from the sky like dumplings.
The fierce battle lasted for more than two hours, and in the end, the fleet of the Blue Dragon Empire only repelled the enemy's attack at the cost of three destroyers and one cruiser being seriously damaged, and as for the other generals, most of them only suffered some minor damage, such as being destroyed by Digimon with one or two secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns or something, or some flowers on the armor, which had no effect on the subsequent battle.
So Ye Tianlong sent two destroyers to escort the four seriously damaged warships back to the mainland, while the other warships and transport ships continued to advance.
Just as the army of the Blue Dragon Empire continued to advance, several demonic beasts in the air flapped their wings and hid in the clouds high in the sky, watching this huge fleet go away.
These demon beasts all have real demon parasitism in their bodies, and their behavior is completely controlled by those demons at this time, and this time they came to explore the strength of the expeditionary army of the Blue Dragon Empire.
And this result made these demons feel very worried, because the strength of the Blue Dragon Empire's expeditionary army is very strong, and relying on the Digimon's crowd tactics, it seems that it is no longer able to deal heavy damage to them. I don't know what is going on with the progress of the magic energy weapon developed by the dragon demon boss who is in charge of the overall situation in the homeland, if it can't be successfully developed before the expeditionary army of the Blue Dragon Empire arrives in the Digital Continent, then this time they may really be expelled from this world by these humans.
Ye Tianlong didn't know that those demons were already developing magic weapons according to the rules of this virtual world, but he knew that the more time those demons were given to develop, the more serious the erosion of those guys would be in this world, and the strength would become stronger and stronger, and finally there might even be a demon who controlled the ultimate body Digimon, and then it would be really bad, after all, the ultimate body Digimon had a combat power comparable to that of a grandmaster-level martial artist, a martial arts master of this level, according to his master Li Rufeng, It's capable of destroying a city by one person, or the kind of large city with millions of people.
Therefore, Ye Tianlong immediately led the army to launch an attack on the Digital Continent after all kinds of weapons and equipment were built, and also brought most of the domestic soldiers and all the various heavy equipment that had just been produced at one time, in an attempt to completely defeat the demons on the Digital Continent in one battle.
