At the end of October, the human coalition forces stationed throughout Lingshan began to mobilize frequently.
People in Caribbean ports feel this most intuitively.
Since humans landed, the Caribbean port has undergone two expansion projects in just half a year. It can now dock thousands of large and medium-sized warships or transport ships.
Over the past few months, Caribbean ports have been packed almost every day.
The battleships of the coalition forces and the transport ships from the human continent crowded the sea surface of the port, leaving almost no space.
More than a dozen steam cranes on the port are spitting out billowing black smoke all day long, giving the scene a bustling industrial city.
There was a long queue of heavily loaded carriages, slithering slowly between the city and the pier like a long snake.
In order to relieve transportation pressure, Feiying Construction Engineering Group, which built the port, even built a short railway.
But one day, when the Caribbean people woke up, they suddenly found that their port was empty~!
There are only more than a hundred ships left in more than a dozen port areas, docked alone on the docks, and all that is left is the blue-black sea polluted by various wastewaters.
All the large human ships have gone to nowhere, and even the tireless steam engines on the pier have mostly stopped.
This makes the citizens who worship the steam engine god very sad.
The sharp contrast makes Caribbean people extremely uncomfortable, feeling as if something is suddenly missing from their lives.
Not only did the ship disappear, but the human legions stationed in and around Caribbean City also left.
It seemed like just overnight, they all disappeared.
Due to the departure of the soldiers, the booming catering and entertainment industry in the Caribbean was severely damaged, and many hotels, pubs and nightclubs immediately became deserted.
Some time ago, because of the news that the human coalition in Caribbean Port had "stupid people and lots of money", many women who had made a mistake resolutely switched jobs from Akadelin. They planned to make money collectively, but unfortunately they have not even earned back the transfer fee.
, the gang of soldiers all disappeared.
The Caribbean people guessed that humans must be planning an unprecedented big action, and the most likely target is thunder and lightning.
Therefore, although the economy has been hit hard, the Caribbean is applauding one after another. With the powerful strike capabilities of hundreds of thousands of human troops, land and air, the arrogant and vulgar barbarians of the Thunder Flash people can survive for a week.
They are awesome.
At the same time, in the hinterland of Thunderbolt, three thousand miles away from the Caribbean, General Mero was wearing a general uniform of the Free Army, with several medals pinned to his chest, and his big-brimmed hat tucked under his arm. On his feet were
He wore brightly polished high-waisted riding boots and walked down the war fortress in high spirits with long strides.
He looked up at the messy military camp in front of him, with a smile on his lips.
Two days ago, he had just been appointed commander-in-chief of the Second Group of the Expeditionary Force.
After the battle in the past few days, Brad quickly realized that it was obviously impossible for only one Berendi to defeat the Thunder Flash Man in a month.
Not to mention that this cunning old fox has been wandering around the border provinces of the Leishan people. He has no courage to go deep into the enemy's territory and start a decisive battle with the enemy. Even the officers of the Lingshan Staff are doubtful. He can't even fight with the enemy.
The enemy did not have the courage to launch a decisive battle.
Therefore, sending more troops and establishing a second expeditionary army became President Bullard's last option.
Despite President Bullard's reluctance, the position fell to Melo.
When President Bullard first approached the former military chief, Parker, and the commander of the Guards, General Hawkes, he hoped that they could lead the troops into battle.
But they were all rejected by the two old men - not because they didn't want to fight, but because they all knew clearly that they didn't know how to use cannons and war fortresses.
And with only 400,000 troops, it was an impossible task for them to defeat the Leishan people within a month.
The two men unanimously recommended General Mero.
Parker and Hawks are both sensible people. Although they dislike General Mello's behavior, they do not have any major conflicts with him personally.
Moreover, both of them are soldiers loyal to the Semitic people. In such military affairs, they will not be swayed by their own likes and dislikes.
After Lorraine made it clear that humans would not participate in this Semitic civil war, the only senior general in the republican government who was familiar with how to use artillery and war fortresses was General Melo.
Even Parker admitted that Melo was a general with excellent qualities.
As for General Melun, the relatively insecure person was naturally ignored by everyone.
The Caribbean Division is known as the most elite and invincible army in the world. However, they rely on Lord Luo's large number of weapons and the well-trained soldiers, which have nothing to do with his commander.
Some officers and soldiers even commented privately that not even one of the donkeys pulling carts in the Caribbean Division was spare, but the only one who was spare was the commander.
As soon as Melo stepped down from the war fortress, the commanders of the Free Army divisions who had been waiting here all gathered around to salute and welcome him as the new commander.
Only two generals wearing coalition uniforms stood not far away, nodding politely to him.
President Bullard separated the Free Army component of the expeditionary force and left it under the leadership of Melo alone.
This is an army that is fully equipped with firearms, artillery and grenades. Although the weapons they are equipped with are all obsolete from the Nai'an Army. The rifles are old models, there are not many machine guns, and the cannons are still old-fashioned muzzle-loading artillery.
.
But compared to Lei Shan's army wielding broadswords, long hairs and bows and arrows, the Free Army, which has entered the age of firearms, has the advantage of crushing them.
Not to mention an independent artillery regiment with one hundred new artillery pieces supported by Lorraine, a flying brigade, and thirty-six war fortresses of the Maple Leaf Danlin Division.
These forces constitute a powerful attack group.
Mero looked at the familiar faces in front of him and their respectful expressions, and his heart suddenly felt filled with pride - this was the war he was looking forward to.
He turned his head, looked at the vast plains, and said silently in his heart: Leibao, here I come~!
The division commanders of the Free Army have also longed for a commander who can fight. Grandpa Berendi is cautious, but he is also too timid. Preparing for the siege of the Thunder Flash people has always been his top priority.
After all, the Thunderbolt Cavalry is famous all over the world, and most areas of the Thunderbolt are completely flat, which is extremely suitable for cavalry attacks.
For the unsuspecting infantry, once the cavalry exerts their powerful speed, it will have terrible consequences.
But relying on their superior weapons, the Free Army didn't take Grandpa Berendi's words seriously. From top to bottom, these bastards were looking forward to annihilating a few thunder and lightning troops and capturing several famous cities.
Dayi. Establish military exploits so that you can have a wife and a son.
Especially for the generals, their contribution to defeating the Semites will be a stepping stone for them to join politics after taking off their military uniforms. Otherwise, they can only collect pensions at home and live a life of eating and waiting to die.
Now I finally hope that Mero, who is known for his bold and ruthless style, can let go and fight a few happy battles.
Melo saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and was very satisfied with the attitude of the Free Army generals. He nodded secretly: the military morale is available.
But when he saw the two human generals, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful: Although Lorraine sent support troops, the two leaders were actually major generals, only one level lower than him.
Melo knew that it was difficult for him to command them. If he wanted their cooperation, he had to discuss it with them carefully. Moreover, if he thought his order was unreasonable, he could directly refuse it.
It can be seen from the lazy expressions of the two human generals that they are unwilling to make this trip.
This made Mero, who was accustomed to keeping everything under control, very uncomfortable, like a fish bone stuck in his throat. He couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart, saying to himself: If a major general commands a regiment, you don't mind losing your status.
In fact, Lorraine made this arrangement to prevent Mello from interfering. If his military rank is too small, he might not be able to withstand such a great god.
Another regret is that the Caribbean Division still hasn't come. Although he once made a request to President Bullard, President Bullard decisively rejected it and just said that the Caribbean Division has more important tasks.
Melo knew very well how powerful the Caribbean Division was. It was the best-equipped in the Free Army and could be called the Psychic Guard. Unfortunately, that old fox Brad just wouldn't let go.
"However, these are enough." Mero thought to himself, confident that the military power in his hands was enough to withstand Lorraine's security forces for a while.
Mero exchanged some brief greetings with the generals. Then he suddenly said loudly: "Gentlemen, we want to say hello to the Thunder Flash people and tell them that I am here."
The Semitic generals around him laughed and looked very inspired.
The corner of Mero's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a fierce sneer. He said: "First give the Thunder Flash people a hard blow to open their eyes."
"Commander, just give the order, and we promise to do it." The generals unanimously expressed their determination to fight.
Melo turned his head and looked to the west, and could vaguely see a blue-gray city on the horizon. That should be Bitburg, the capital of the Leishan border province and the largest city in the eastern part of Leishan.
He said in a deep voice: "Go tell Bitburg that I will allow him to surrender before sunset tomorrow~!"
"Yes~!" Someone agreed loudly and excitedly, and then asked: "But what if they don't surrender?"
Mero clasped his hands on his chest and said with a fierce light in his slightly squinted eyes: "I will let them know what regret is."
The two human generals looked at each other and shrugged at the same time. Their orders were just to cooperate. As for how the battle was fought, it was the Semitic people's own business.
In fact, in their hearts they longed to see the Semites cut off their heads and brains. From a human perspective, an internally divided Semitic tribe is more in line with the interests of mankind.
But now there is the undead high priest, the biggest enemy. Therefore, for strategic reasons, the human coalition forces need to stabilize the order of the entire Semitic tribe in the shortest possible time.

As the capital of the region, Bitburg has a very resolute will to resist among the Leishan people in the city.
When the war first broke out, everyone in the city was involved in preparing for the war. For more than a month, they had made complete preparations, reinforcing the city walls, and stocking up on food and supplies.
In short, the people of Bitburg have made up their minds and will not give in until the last moment.
As soon as Mero's letter asking them to surrender was sent in, it was thrown out of the city, along with the messenger who sent the letter into the city.
Although the unlucky child was a Thunderbolt, to the people in the city, this kind of traitor was more hateful than the enemy.
When the messenger entered, Mero was watching coldly from a few miles outside the city.
Therefore, he also watched with his own eyes the unlucky messenger free-falling from the wall under the influence of gravity, and fell heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
In this regard, Mero didn't even move his eyebrows. After all, it was a Thunderbolt man who died. No one cared. Instead, he smiled and said to the general beside him: "It seems they refused. It just so happens that I really don't want them to agree.
"
The murderous intent in his words made all the generals of the Free Army tremble.
The soldiers of the Free Army picked up the letter from the city with their shields on their backs. They handed it to Mello. The reply from Bit City contained only one sentence: "Go back to your hometown."
Melo handed the letter to the entourage behind him and warned: "Keep it well and stuff it into the mouth of the person who wrote this letter tomorrow."
Bitburg was originally worried that the Free Army would attack the city immediately, but they did not take any action that day. The people of Bitburg became more and more sure that the Lingshan people were bragging and talking big words.
Early the next morning, Mero summoned all the generals and said only one sentence at the meeting: demolish the city wall before lunch.
Following his order, the Free Army assembled hundreds of artillery pieces and lined up in a line facing the city wall of Bitburg. As the sun rose, hundreds of artillery pieces roared at the same time and fired shells towards Bitburg.
The violent explosion engulfed the tall city gate in an instant. The Thunder Flash people on the city wall felt like they were in hell, under the gunfire. The entire Bitburg was shaking.
However, two hours of continuous artillery fire failed to open a wide enough gap in the city wall of Bitburg.
The Free Army's muzzle-loading cannons are old models, and the explosive power of the shells is somewhat insufficient.
Under this situation, the major general of the coalition artillery regiment curled his lips helplessly and ordered the heavy artillery in his regiment to participate in the battle.
At the same time, he cursed Melo in his heart for being cunning. He didn't say that he would let the coalition forces participate in the battle, but once the Free Army failed to achieve its expected goals, the grandson would definitely file a complaint against him to Lorraine.
Now he takes the initiative to ask for participation. Not only does Melo not need to accept favors from the coalition, but others feel that he is inferior to Melo because he begged him.
"No wonder this grandson is not lovable~!" Despite the scolding, the major general of the artillery regiment went to ask Mello for instructions, and General Mello did his part and approved his combat request like a superior.
The officers of the Free Army were very moved: This man is different from other people. This man has to show his respect even for human beings.
The participation of eight large-caliber heavy artillery greatly advanced the progress of the siege.
The Free Army's muzzleloader can only blast a hole in the city wall with one shot, while the coalition's heavy artillery can shatter half of the city wall with one shot, destroying everything within a dozen meters around it.
The sound of heavy artillery shells is very special. The whistling sound of the flying shells is a little later than the explosion. Each explosion is like a heavy hammer hitting the Thunderbolt man's chest.
The shrill whistling sound of artillery shells is still a lingering nightmare for many Leishan people after the war.
After only five rounds of volleys, through the dust in the sky, it was seen that the towering tower of Bitburg suddenly collapsed and turned into rubble. A forty-meter-wide gap was revealed, which was enough for the army to rush in.
The artillerymen then stopped firing. They had completed their mission ahead of schedule, and the artillery shells transported over long distances were also very valuable.
The officer happily reported the news to Merlot in the tent.
The commander was actually reading a newspaper while holding a cup of hot black tea, with his feet on the table and a relaxed expression.
The general of the fifth division stepped forward to ask for a fight and said excitedly: "Commander, let's attack now. While the enemy is stunned by the artillery fire, we can rush in at once."
Then he slapped his chest loudly and said loudly: "I promise to end the battle before lunch."
But Melo didn't raise his head and said casually: "No. I said afternoon is afternoon. By the way, send someone to deliver a note inside, saying that we will start attacking from the east gate at 2:30.
At the same time, we told the entire army to launch an attack at 2:30 in the afternoon."
Not only the division commanders of the Free Army, but also the major generals of the two coalition forces looked at each other, looked at Mello in surprise, and thought to themselves: Isn't this man stupid?
How can anyone tell the enemy before the war when and where they will launch an attack?
Melo, however, kept staring at the newspaper, waved his hand, and urged: "Just do it like this, tell everyone to have enough at noon."
The ordering officer reluctantly agreed, turned around and walked out of the tent to carry out this strange order.
The two human generals looked at each other and sneered. Of course they knew that this was Mero trying to establish his power.
I think that's what Lord Luo did when he first came out and killed people with his younger brothers.
And at every turn, he always kept saying "You must be trustworthy when you come out to work, and if you say you want to kill his whole family, you must kill his whole family."
Although this approach seems a bit awkward, when you have absolute strength and can crush the enemy, it makes the enemy more frightened. Especially when Sir Luo said those words, many people felt
Cold wind blows upward from the tail bone.
Unexpectedly, Mello actually learned it now. However, this general was educated after all, and did not have the domineering uniqueness of the gangsters that Lord Luo exuded with a tremble of his tiger body.
Soon, this order spread throughout the Free Army, and the response from the soldiers was unexpectedly good. They thought that Mero was very domineering: Even if we tell you clearly, you can't defeat us.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Melo dispatched the 5th and 6th Divisions, which were the most powerful in the Free Army except the Caribbean Division. They were formerly Semitic Praetorian Guards, and their combat effectiveness and fighting will were in the Semitic
They are all outstanding.
A total of 30,000 men from the two divisions lined up facing Bitburg.
Mero was sitting on the horse, holding a pocket watch in his white-gloved hand. Seeing that the pointer pointed to two-thirty, he waved his hand vigorously and said: "Attack~!" (To be continued. If you like
