Colonel Meng Jiao, deputy commander of the 38th Division, is now condescendingly admiring the scenery that is completely different from that of Marshal Li's battlefield in Galle.
Under the foothills in the distance, the Empire's tanks and armor were crossing the damaged roadbed. Their military appearance was quite neat, but their movements always seemed a bit urgent.
Speaking of which, they and the empire worked together to build this road that directly leads from Marshal Li Grad to the imperial settlement 10,000 kilometers away. It was originally thought that it would become the transportation artery of the entire planet, but now it has become the main artery of the transportation industry.
Just like Marshal Li's city in Golla, it has been turned into ruins.
The half-built light rail channel was broken and fell into the dense vegetation, like a steel snake that had been dead for a long time.
Meng Jiao and his men lurked in the dense mountain forest, holding their breath, waiting for the imperial tank and the motorized infantry following the tank to pass in front of them.
The reconnaissance post reported while recording: "47 Vindicator 3 medium-sized multi-terrain tanks, 25 Foxhound 2 straight-propelled guns, 12 multi-purpose support armored vehicles, 3 command armored vehicles, and 2,478 motorized infantry."
"Very good." Meng Jiao nodded and praised. But in fact, he didn't even need to use instruments to record. He only used his naked eyes and memory to count all the troops passing in front of him.
"Is it a Panzergrenadier Regiment?" the subordinate asked.
"No, it's just a stormtrooper-type armored regiment. Judging from their movements, they are preparing to enter the battlefield from the north of the city." He said.
At this time, he heard another roar. The empire's armored airship also appeared in the sky due north.
This time, more than forty gunboats appeared in Mengjiao's sight. They formed a neat formation and were as powerful as a rainbow, like a group of strutting armored knights. In the white sky, they formed a large ominous array of black dots.
Needless to say, they are also preparing to go to Marshal Li Grad to support their friendly forces. When fighting in cities, these aircraft, which can conduct fire strikes from a high position, are the best support weapons.
However, Meng Jiao, who was on the top of the mountain, suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Marshal Li Gele behind him.
He really wanted to see the scenery of the city at this time, and even wanted to see the sea. However, even a psychic with excellent eyesight like him could not see anything clearly now. Now, he and his comrades are now far away
The urban area of Marshal Li's Grad is a full 30 kilometers away, and it is more than 50 kilometers away from the sea. The rugged mountains obscure the vision of psychics.
Of course, it also blocks the enemy's view.
In the dense forest on the mountain in the distance, the attack belonging to the community defenders also started at this time.
Accompanied by the sudden rise of smoke, the "divine arrows" covered in flames soared into the air from the diffuse fireworks and pounced on the Empire's armored airships.
Meng Jiao saw with his own eyes that five airships were hit by missiles and turned into huge fireballs on the spot, falling directly to the land.
As a result, the airships that were originally arranged neatly had to quickly disband. Some of them even flew past Meng Jiao and his team's position.
Several powerful Lumina soldiers have already carried AKs - these armored airships are light single-seat AH-9 White Eagles with weak armor and mediocre maneuverability. They are individual ion cannons made in a workshop.
, which is enough to cause fatal damage to it at close range.
However, the soldier saw that Mengjiao did not make any movement and did not pull the trigger.
Until these embarrassed White Eagle armored boats turned their anti-gravity engines with all their strength and rushed out of the range of the AK, no one opened fire.
Mengjiao's judgment was correct.
The distant sky in the north suddenly flashed with a heart-stopping flash of light. Before everyone could react, the cannonballs fell on the mountains where the missiles were flying, turning the rocks and towering trees into powder.
Meng Jiao and his men, the commandos who had lurked outside the city, watched without saying a word as the mountains in the distance were flattened again, revealing only ugly gaps and burning gray bald spots.
But these soldiers always maintained what can be described as a cruel calmness.
Hidden in the mountains, Mengjiao can certainly see the sky extending deep into the northern part of the continent.
Perhaps because of the attack just now, the thick clouds had dispersed, so the soldiers could clearly see the imperial warship hanging at the end of the sky.
In the universe, these destroyers are just a group of inconspicuous small-sized ships. However, when they suddenly burst into the atmosphere, their majestic appearance must be behemoths that surpass the limits of human imagination in the era of their home planet.
Yes, if it was really a primitive civilization in the home planet era, just seeing these battleships appear in the sky, they would be scared out of their wits and think it was the appearance of gods.
Speaking of which, most of the warriors following him were sand people and Lumina people.
They were all forcibly brought into the universe from the ancient times of their home planet. Now nearly half of the Lumina people on the planet Lumina still believe in their primitive religion; as for the sand people, even the people from the previous two generations still
Living in city-state and nomadic eras.
However, these "veterans" of the 38th Division looked mockingly at the huge Imperial warship on the ceiling, and everyone's laughter even echoed in the short-range communication channel.
From the perspective of the veterans, isn't the empire just incompetent and furious?
These incompetent but indeed violent bombings lasted for ten minutes. The entire foothills on the opposite side were cut off by hundreds of meters of altitude.
Meng Jiao knew that none of the seven missile positions deployed above would survive, but he also didn’t know how many soldiers had withdrawn. However, what was certain was that the soldiers who had withdrawn were already in other places according to the original plan.
A new position has begun to be constructed in a certain place. The equipment they need will be sent through the tunnel. The comrades who died have also long been awakened.
In wars, people will always die... As of today, 2,400 people of the 38th Division have been killed in battle. The auxiliary militia group organized from the young citizens of Marshal Li Golla also has more than a thousand people.
deceased.
However, everyone is still holding on. Everyone can be sure that every time the empire attacks, it will return in vain, leaving far more corpses than its own victims.
He and his men continued to wait where they were.
Meng Jiao knew very well that the battle on Marshal Li's side in Gela must have entered a fever pitch. He even knew that the communication relay station suspended in the sky must have been shot down.
At this time, he had lost contact with Division Commander Schiller at the headquarters. In addition, the ambush troops lurking in the mountains were hidden in six positions, totaling three regiments, but he had also lost contact with them all.
"Chief of Staff Vayali said that within the area of communication interference in the entire region, we may still need communications soldiers riding motorcycles to deliver messages. But I see, motorcycles can't travel on this kind of terrain now, and maybe it's still possible.
Gotta ride a moa.”
The speaker was Major Zazasin, commander of the Rumina Assault Battalion, a veteran of the Red Maple Factory Guard Team. He immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"I actually think that our Lumina's arachnid can also apply for a battle. Although they are all desert animals, they have gained a lot of weight on this planet. It's time to take action."
The speaker this time was Captain Sandan of the Sand People Fire Support Company. Before the reorganization of the 38th Division, he was the leader of the Sand People Guards. In the longer past, he was still a slave of a prince of the Sand People city-state.
Gladiator.
Therefore, there were obviously Imperial destroyers hovering in the sky, and the Empire's second and third waves of troops were advancing on the ground. However, the ambush soldiers said, "Move quickly on the mountain. Should I use Lumina MOA?"
Or is it the Speedy Dragon of New Yumen?”, which led to a rather lively discussion.
Meng Jiao did not participate. Although he was from the "Lumina MOA" faction, once he really participated, he might be suspected of being biased. This is not what a commander should do.
"So, where are our velociraptors and moas?" A soldier asked: "We raised at least 100 of them in Muyuan before, right?"
After all, Yaochi Planet is known as a magical planet that can make all creatures feel comfortable. It is understandable that the garrison soldiers of Lumina and Sand People want to raise some livestock in their hometown. In fact, in the past short period of time,
In half a year, the number of animals they brought increased by at least three times, and each one of them became fat and strong.
The division headquarters even considered forming some retro cavalry reconnaissance units.
In some terrains, the Velociraptor and MOA are really much more useful than the multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle.
Major Zazasin's voice was full of regret: "Most of them have been released. Although this planet is suitable for all species, we can't really let moas and velociraptors live underground, right?"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy again.
"You stupid imperial devils." A soldier muttered, which immediately attracted everyone's response. If not everyone was still lurking on the mountain, someone would probably applaud.
Therefore, the soldiers continued to wait in their lurking positions on the mountains, and even had a meal of compressed biscuits and energy bars mixed with nutrient solution.
An unknown amount of time had passed, and the sound of artillery fire from Marshal Li's direction in Galle was as continuous as thunder. But before he knew it, the sun was about to sink in the west.
Meng Jiao looked at the original sea direction of Marshal Li's Grad, then looked at the time and determined that five hours had passed since the enemy launched a direct attack and airborne landing.
"That's almost it." He said to himself, and then gestured to his subordinates.
The soldiers put away their water and began to check the status of their weapons and mechas.
At this time, Meng Jiao also heard the movement behind him. He turned his head and clearly saw that mixed in the grass in the dense forest, a triangular head that was somewhat similar to the Velociraptor was revealed, and he spat out to everyone.
Tongue.
This is a spear that defeats a speed dragon.
It was obviously a gregarious carnivorous beast that lived at the top of the food chain in the Xinyumen Sand Sea, but at this time, Meng Jiao clearly saw a bit of a loyal dog in this big guy's ferocious face.
Immediately afterwards, a figure without a mecha appeared in front of everyone riding a Velociraptor.
This human non-commissioned officer, who was not very tall, flashed the cuffs with the letter logo on his hands, jumped off the Velociraptor, and ran towards Meng Jiao in long strides.
Come on, it turns out that people really started riding animals to deliver letters.
Moreover, in the rugged mountains, the velociraptor was actually faster than the moa!
Just when Meng Jiao felt like he had returned to the era of cold weapons, and couldn't help but think about it and had mixed feelings, the human sergeant rushed to him quickly, stood at attention, saluted, and lowered his voice: "Sir Meng, Li
The battle in Marshal Grad has ended. The Imperial Army is withdrawing from the city."
"It looks like everything went well. Thank you for your hard work." Meng Jiao smiled, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"In addition, instructor Takai has killed the enemy general Mando!"
Ha, what a double happiness! Meng Jiao thought, but with a straight face, he said to everyone in a voice full of majesty and solemnity: "Comrades, be prepared to fight! Don't let go of any imperial troops retreating from this road.
Pass!"
"...Well, sir, Chief of Staff Vayali also said that it is certain that the enemy Major General Hongkas also evacuated this way."
"..."
"In addition, they are expected to take Line C. They should encounter the ambush of Regiment B in an hour. We need to go there immediately to support them."
"Three joys, oh no, four joys! Speaking of which, sergeant, how long have you been running here to report the news?"
"From the 18th tunnel on the outskirts of the city, we set off after receiving a wired communication from the chief of staff. We ran 30 kilometers for fifteen minutes." The human sergeant patted the new Yumen Velociraptor's big head and gave a thumbs up: "
However, my Ake is the racing champion in the New Yumen Wilderness. Crossing mountains and ridges is not a problem. This is a trivial matter. I have to go to the other two positions to report the news."
He saluted again, then decisively squeezed half a tube of nutritional ointment into the dragon's mouth, jumped on the dragon's back, and disappeared immediately.
The imperial army that entered Marshal Li's Grad had indeed begun to retreat. Their casualties were not particularly large, but their mental state was not stable. The entire army was filled with an aura of incompetence, rage, and frustration.
In fact, when Brigadier General Mando was killed and the armored grenadiers airborne into the city were divided and surrounded, Major General Honkas's battle was not to capture the city, but to rescue these unlucky ones.
After all, it is one thing for the troops to be bombed. It is another thing for two Panzergrenadier regiments and an assault company with a bugle to be wiped out. Even if his commander does not go to a military court,
There is no way to talk about the future.
In order to boost morale, he even took an armored airship and accompanied the army into the sky above the city to direct the battle. To round things off, this could be regarded as taking the lead.
Overall, the battle went smoothly. Although the armored grenadiers in the gap left more than a thousand corpses plus a brigadier general, at least there was no total annihilation above the battalion level, so they could always attack on the upper peak.
Let’s discuss it in front of you.
If his airship hadn't been knocked down by a sudden ion cannon, everything would have gone smoothly.
