Chapter 933: Operation Hidden Dragon
Two days later, reinforcements arrived. Facing a huge fortress that looked like a vacant fortress, the two generals, Shan and Lu Lan, had solemn faces. On the way, they had already heard about the gale, and when they arrived at the fortress, the remaining staff officers officially handed over the defense of the fortress to the two generals.
Shem stood on the roof of the fortress's command building, staring at the red blood hills in the distance and was silent for a long time. Until Lu Lan came over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, the dead are dead, and the living have more things to do." ”
Flash's face was calm, and he said lightly: "One day, I will smash those black mongrels!"
"I'm just like you. ”
The two generals returned to the command building, and the conference hall was already full of non-commissioned officers of all ranks and staff officers accompanying the army. Flash and Lu Lan walked in, and everyone stood up and saluted. Lu Lan stretched out his hand and pressed it, motioning for everyone to sit back. Flash found a place to sit down and handed over the battle meeting to his old friend.
Lu Lan coughed dryly, propped his hands on the edge of the table and said, "Everyone must also know that the sacrifice of General Gale and all the colleagues in the fortress has bought us precious time. According to Staff Officer Luo's report, the Red Blood Hills were calm during the time we arrived. This is extremely abnormal, and I wouldn't be surprised if those black swarms came to attack after General Gale and their attack. On the contrary, it's a little unsettling. ”
"General, shall we send another reconnaissance team to confirm the situation?" asked a school officer with a raised hand.
Lu Lan shook his head and said, "After the incident of General Gale and them, if the enemy still has plans for the Red Blood Hills, he will definitely not take it lightly. So there is no need to send troops to reconnoitre, but what to do in order to raze the hills. ”
"To completely destroy the Crimson Hills?" asked Shem.
Lu Lan nodded and said, "That's right, this is the cleanest and neatest way to do it." The problem is that you have to do it right, and you only get it right once. ”
"The Hidden Dragon Missile we brought this time is known to everyone about its power. Even if there were only three, it would be enough to blow up one of the enemy's cantonment valley roads, if they were still doing the same thing. But this is not enough, the Red Blood Hills cover an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers, and there must be more than one Tunbing Valley Road like this. Lu Lan looked at one of the people in the table and asked, "Staff Officer Luo, you have been stationed here for a long time, do you know what is in the Red Blood Hills where the missile can create a larger area of destruction?"
Staff Officer Luo, who was also the chief of staff of the fortress, nodded, and used his brain to show a set of images on the big screen. From these sets of photos on the screen, you can see the plane structure of the hills, including the direction of the terrain and the distribution of magma rivers.
"Over the years, we've been collecting information about the Red Blood Hills. The original intention was to monitor the condition of the volcano and record the distribution of the magma river in order to plan the best training site. But today it can be used in a different way, so please look at this set of pictures. Counselor Luo brought up one of the pictures, in which the leylines were connected below several volcanoes, forming a vast area of magma distribution. Staff Officer Luo pointed at one of the volcanoes on the screen with infrared light and said, "We call it the Flame Goddess, it is the largest volcano in the Red Blood Hills. As you can see, at the bottom of the Flame Goddess, the magma communicates with the other places along the leylines, forming a widely distributed network of veins, if the Hidden Dragon Missile is accurately sent into the Flame Goddess......"
Staff Officer Luo made an explosive gesture: "Bah, it will cause a big explosion of the entire magma network." I dare not say that I can completely destroy the Red Blood Hills, but at least two-thirds of the area will not be spared. ”
Lu Lan nodded and said, "Okay, then the target of the Hidden Dragon Missile will be determined." Blasted into the Flame Goddess Volcano and detonated the entire underground network. ”
Flash frowned and said, "Slow, the flight range limit of the Hidden Dragon Missile is one hundred kilometers." And, how are you going to make sure that the missile is sent into that volcano, I don't think the missile's positioning system is ready to do that. ”
"Yes, we need something else. Lu Lan held up a finger and said.
Flash thought for a moment and said, "Laser positioning?"
"That's right, laser positioning. With that, you can guide the Hidden Dragon Missiles and ensure that they enter the Flame Goddess 100%. ”
"But who's going to go? The Flame Goddess is located in the belly of the Red Blood Hills, which means that this person on this mission will first have to pass through the area where the black debris is, climb the volcano, and possibly enter the crater to direct the missile. This is a mortal mission. Shem said.
Lu Lan shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe, but if I go, I may not necessarily die." ”
"You're crazy!" suddenly stood up and said, "You and I are both commanders, how can we easily risk our lives." ”
Lu Lan grabbed his arm with his hand and said, "Listen, the commander of the three armies alone is enough." You are calm, and your head is more flexible than mine. I'm relieved to have you in command of the army, so you have to let me go on this mission, and there is no one better suited to carry out this mission than me. I may not die, and even if I do, it will be worth it. If you use me alone to exchange all the lives of all the black miscellaneous pieces, this is simply a profitable business!"
Letting go of the flash, Lu Lan nodded and said, "You say I'm crazy, a little bit." I think it's a crazy idea, but you'll have to admit that it's worth it. ”
"No, General. Suddenly, someone said, "I'm better suited for this task than you." ”
Lu Lan and Shan looked at each other, and an officer stood up. He was Lieutenant Colonel Ma Sen under Lu Lan, and the school officer patted his chest and said: "First of all, I am a sniper expert, and every sniper expert is a master of stealth sports. This ensured that I could get through enemy areas to the Flame Goddess, and secondly, I was only a school officer. I'm dead, and there's someone to replace me. But if something happens to you, General, it will be the loss of the entire army. ”
"So you see, I'm better suited than you, isn't I?" said Masson with a hearty laugh.
Flashing his lips moved, he wanted to say something, but Lu Lan stopped him. Lu Lan looked at Ma Sen, and then nodded after a while and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, this mission, the code name is Qianlong." Everyone prepare, Mason, you come with me. ”
Sitting back, flash sighed in his heart. He originally wanted to agree to Ma Sen's request instead of Lu Lan, but Lu Lan said it himself. Having been friends with him for many years, Flash knew very well that Lu Lan meant that Ma Sen's sacrifice would be borne by him. But in fact, since becoming a general, Shan knows that he, Lu Lan and Mu Wu are carrying the heroic spirits of countless war dead.
That's a heavy burden, but it's also a responsibility. Now, Lu Lan is just carrying one more officer's life. But who knows the weight of life, sometimes it can overwhelm people.
In the afternoon, two cars drove out of the fortress. The one in front is an off-road vehicle, and on top are Lu Lan and Ma Sen. Lu Lan drove the car, and Ma Sen checked the laser locator in the back. Behind them was a launcher carrying a Hidden Dragon missile. The two cars drove along the rugged road in the direction of the Red Blood Hills, and Shin stood on the roof of the command building, watching them leave.
Nothing to say all the way.
After 90 minutes, the two cars stopped, and not far away was the edge of the hill. The distance from the Flame Goddess Volcano is about 110 kilometers in a straight line, which is exactly within the range of the missile. Lu Lan said in a deep voice: "I can only send you here." ”
"Thank you, General. Masson carried the laser locator behind his back, but the sniper expert did not bring a sniper rifle, only a pair of large-caliber revolvers, and a military dagger hidden in his right military boot, and set off lightly.
"Masson. Lu Lan stopped him: "Do you have anything to say to your family?"
Ma Sen thought for a while and said, "Tell Ah Cai, find a man to marry again." And that kid from my family, who asked him to help me take care of his mother. ”
"That's it?"
"That's all. Ma Sen smiled, turned around and left, leaving only a figure of Lu Lan waving goodbye.
Lu Lan knew that he would never see this officer again.
Once in the hills, Masson put on a gas mask and expertly stooded through the mountains to find cover. All the way to the valley road that the fortress army attacked that day, Masson hid behind a black rock and looked down, and the valley road was blown up with potholes. Two days have passed, and the body can still be seen inside. There are humans, but more often there are bugs and other monsters.
In the valley, some bugs were trying to drag the corpses away. Whether it's the same kind or human, they don't let go of any of them. Masson didn't know what they were going to do with the corpses, and he didn't want to know that he had more important tasks to do. Determined in the direction, he chose another direction to leave.
The Red Blood Hills were not calm, and as Lu Lan had predicted, the Black Legion would not be wiped out. Masson passed several peaks, and he could see that some of the troughs that had been deliberately bulldozed had become breeding areas for the Black Legion. They are still accumulating soldiers, and in terms of numbers, I am afraid that they will complete the number of million-level soldiers in the next two days, and then they can launch a strong attack.
If it weren't for the sacrificial attack of the fortress army, I'm afraid that this process would have been two days in advance. Then when the reinforcements arrive, they will run into the Black Legion head-on. When the time comes, not to mention supporting the Bloody Fortress, it is still unknown whether even the army will be able to withdraw safely.
Masson carefully avoided some of the whistles in the mountains, and his stealth movement was excellent. And today, under the high concentration of the spirit, it is still exerting extraordinary. It took him almost two hours before he finally reached the foot of the Flame Goddess Volcano.
The volcanoes in the Red Blood Hills have stopped spewing, and even the lava rivers on the surface have mostly dried up. The energy of the hills is frantically absorbed by the Black Legion and transformed into the energy crystals needed by the producers. This saved Masson a lot of trouble for today's operation, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get to the vicinity of the target volcano so easily when the magma was everywhere.
Masson began to climb upwards, and although the volcano was already stationary, the surface temperature of the mountain was still very hot, but fortunately it was not untouchable. Masson climbed all the way up, occasionally using some protruding mountain as cover to avoid the sight of some of the sentinels. The Black Legion obviously didn't expect anyone to go deep into the hilly hinterland, so they focused their sentinels on the periphery of the hills, and as for the hinterland, the number of fierce poisonous giant bees patrolling was very limited.
As he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Masson suddenly had a feeling of extreme danger. He immediately pressed himself against the mountain wall and did not dare to move, in fact, it was extremely hard to do so. In addition to the need to immobilize the body, it is not an easy task to stick to the hot mountain wall. Masson forced himself to forget that his skin was burning and aching, and at that moment, a shadow passed over his head.
He quietly looked into the shadow, it was a monster. Under the beast-like head is the body of a human man, and when it reaches the waist, it is as if it is butt with a lion, which is indescribably weird. There were also four wings with loose black feathers stretched out on its back, and God knows how such wings supported the compound creature to fly high in the air.
This is a class that has never appeared in the Black Legion, and Masson knows nothing about it. If he knew it was the Dreadguard, he would have climbed up desperately without revealing his whereabouts. Dreadguards themselves have a keen sense of perception, and the direct combat power of this high-level class may not be as good as that of the Black Flame Inspector, but their Dread Field, Corrosive Light Orb, and Dark Sight are powerful supports.
In the sky, the fear-guard swept past the Flame Goddess Mountain, about to leave. But it suddenly stopped, and in its perception, a special energy fluctuation appeared near the top of the Flame Goddess's mountain. Fundamentally, the composition of its wavelength and band seems to be human. The DreadGuardians were surprised that a human was able to sneak into the heart of the hills, but that wasn't enough to bother it, so the high-frequency sound waves emitted by the Dreadguards, which were inaudible to the human eye, were a signal to notify nearby legions.
Masson couldn't hear the sound, just watched the Dreadguard suddenly freeze in mid-air, then turn around as if searching for something. He immediately knew that he had been discovered, and no matter how it was discovered, it could not change the fact that it was coming.
"Damn!" the lieutenant colonel couldn't hide any longer, and immediately crawled towards the crater with his hands and feet.
As soon as he moved, the Dreadguards spotted the intruder. The monster screamed, stretched out its hand, and dropped two or three corrosive balls. Watching the green balls of light fall towards him, Masson knew it wasn't going to be a good thing. Two balls of light smashed on the mountain wall to his left and right, and there was no explosion, only a flash of fluorescent light, and a large area of the mountain wall melted away like cream.
A ball of light lunged at his back, and Masson roared. He flew to the left side, and for a second his body was almost suspended in the air. It wasn't until his hands and feet caught the mountain wall again that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then climbed to the top of the mountain in three or two. The Dreadguard was swooping down on him, and Masson ran towards the crater, popping his revolver and firing at the monster above.
The bullet landed on one of the Dreadguard's left wings, and after four or five shots of Mason's precise shot, the bullet broke the Dreadgotwin's wing, and the monster immediately lost its balance and slammed into the ground with a scream. It got up again, folded its wings, and roared across the ground.
Behind the Dreadguards, a swarm of venomous bees rose up and pressed in like dark clouds. Masson fired a few shots at them, knocking down several giant bees. But compared to the number of giant bees, this casualty is not a battle loss at all. The Dreadguard pounced and volleyed towards Masson. The lieutenant colonel immediately rolled to the ground with his head in his hands, causing the Dreadguard to pounce.
Masson flicked, changed the drum, and fired both guns at the Dreadguards. This monster is very weak in terms of defense, and it doesn't take a few hits to shoot Masson with blood. Masson ran out of bullets from the gun, simply dropped the revolver and pulled out the dagger. At this moment, the Dreadguard stood up again, and despite the bleeding all over its body, it threw a fear field directly at Masson, followed by a dark vision.
Immediately, Masson's heart raced, and his vision became darker and darker. With the sound of giant bees flapping their wings approaching, he knew there was no time. The man roared and ran towards the crater, barely anchoring himself with his declining vision. Finally, he threw the dagger at the fearguard chasing after him, blocking the monster for a moment. Masson took the opportunity to take down the laser positioning behind him and pressed the signal send button.
At the same time, the soldiers in the missile launcher received a signal from Masson. They immediately entered the launch command, and the rear compartments of the car opened from both sides, and a launcher was raised. Three Hidden Dragon missiles were launched with a whizz. The positioning system on the missile swept precisely in the direction of the Flame Goddess Mountain according to the signal transmitted by Masson.
The missile dragged the flames across the sky, causing some of the bugs on the valley road to look up in bewilderment.
At the crater, the Guardians of Dread finally approached. Masson grinned, he couldn't see anything anymore, but he clutched onto the locator and ran forward. After a few steps, his feet suddenly emptied, and then his body fell sharply. There was a strong sensation of heat from below, and Masson knew he had fallen into the volcano. At this moment, he seemed extremely calm.
Farewell, Ah Cai......
The Hidden Dragon Missile made a turn in mid-air, pulled out a path of firelight, and flew into the crater one after another. A moment later, there was a sudden flash of fire at the base of the Flame Goddess Volcano, and the entire Red Blood Hill trembled. The strong tremor made Lu Lan, who was more than 100 kilometers away, feel it clearly, and then the volcano erupted. A large stream of scorching fire rose into the sky and roared into the air. Immediately after the Flame Goddess, more than a dozen volcanoes erupted in the hills, the earth burst apart, and a curtain of fire erupted, and the entire underground network had a chain reaction, and explosions appeared in every corner of the Red Blood Hills one after another.
The flames devoured all the insects, monsters, and all biological weapons in the hills, and they were blown to ashes in this irresistible explosion. Even the mighty Black Flame Inspector was not spared from this explosion. They tried to escape the blast area, but the underground network was so vast that the flames were engulfing them before they could escape.
Facing the burning hills, Lu Lan bowed his head deeply. After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice: "Return to the fortress." ”
