Chapter 1026: Raid on the Evergreen Valley (1)

If you want to take advantage of the surprise attack in the Evergreen Valley, you must know the enemy's strength and the nearby terrain.

In order to maximize the efficiency of intelligence acquisition, I sent almost all the bounty hunters under Lu Ming's command, after all, the longer the time is delayed, the more likely it is that the situation of accidents in those underground strongholds will be exposed.

The efficiency of the bounty hunters in detecting information is quite high, and within half a day, some extremely detailed information was presented to me.

First of all, the exact location of the Changqing Valley, which is located in a valley about 20 kilometers away from the Tibetan Blue Line, and the terrain is much flatter than the general valley floor.

There are a large number of needle pine forests throughout the Changqing Valley, which is also a rare green landscape area in Dongkou Province. 、

Since this place is still quite far away from the border area of Dongkou Province after all, the defense force here is now much lax for Jiuhe City, and there are basically no Ming Gangs, and the number of Hidden Gangs is also only a handful, and they are all marked by bounty hunters.

As for the mobile patrols, there is no such thing as a patrol.

With no external distractions, we can focus our attention on the main area inside the Evergreen Valley.

According to the results of Lu Ming's own personal investigation, this Evergreen Valley is also the same as other research bases related to Gu things, the main part is still underground, but the above-ground buildings here should not be underestimated.

The main area of loiterers was more than the size of four or five football fields, with wooden houses of various sizes scattered on top, and the underground part was probably also repurposed from previous existing underground structures, either a sewer system like ours or a basement with a mural pattern.

Since the Evergreen Valley is a valley terrain in general, and the bounty hunters have already explored the surrounding area of the valley and have not found any entrances and exits, Lu Ming can be sure that as long as we block all the main roads of the valley on the ground, we can wipe out all the wanderers in the valley, unless they have wings, otherwise with the number of people we have now, we can completely not let go of a single one.

Once this was established, the details of the attack were finalized.

If there is one of our greatest strengths, it is that we have the natural conditions to strike first, at least until now, the wanderers in the valley are still ignorant of our arrival, so we can carry out a surprise attack.

That is, blitzkrieg.

And if we want to achieve a blitzkrieg, it means that when we launch an attack, we must try to cut off the communication of information between the wanderers in the valley on the premise of maintaining the speed of the attack.

And if you want to maximize this chaos, the time to attack is naturally chosen at night.

Because the Evergreen Valley has its own power generation system that combines water and wind, and the wanderers here are used to the night lights, once we cut off the power, it can give these wanderers a heavy blow and completely destroy their resistance.

However, unlike other bases we have attacked in the past, the power generation system of this Evergreen Valley happens to be not far from the central area, and if we want to cut off this line, we will inevitably need to send a team of elite troops to attack Huanglong.

I originally wanted to be the leader of this team of elite soldiers myself, but Lu Ming flatly refused, he reminded me that I am not a personal hero now, my survival will unexpectedly eliminate the hope of the entire catastrophe, if something happens to me, it will be equivalent to the hope of the whole catastrophe, so I must not take risks.

Zhao Tian didn't know if it was to take the opportunity to make a fool of himself, and he resolutely opposed me going, and even took the initiative to ask Ying to send him to attack the power station.

Naturally, I can't let him go, after all, the target of this attack is the loiterer itself, what if he takes the opportunity to turn back?

However, I didn't say my thoughts directly, but told Zhao Tian that he needed to cooperate with me to command the deployment of the outer encirclement, after all, we are very short of commanding talents now, and he can't walk away.

In the end, the team of spearheads I finalized was a team of fifty men composed entirely of bounty hunters, commanded by Lu Ming, who were responsible for taking advantage of the chaos to attack the power station while we launched a general attack on the perimeter, making sure that the power lines were completely destroyed within fifteen minutes of the start of the battle.

Since the attack on the Changqing Valley was a matter of our own safety, I selected almost all the survivors and Burmese who could fight, and organized them into offensive teams in batches, basically 80 to 100 people, and each team selected a capable general to be responsible for the detailed command of the team.

These preparations sounded simple, but in fact they were quite cumbersome when they were actually carried out, and it took us almost a day to complete them, and according to the final results, I found that the total number of people participating in the battle had reached the level of nearly 2,000, which was indeed the largest offensive in our history.

We were divided into eighteen offensive detachments, which were divided into assault from all directions of the Evergreen Valley.

Among them, the north and south directions belong to the valley mouth area, and the number of wanderers here is also the most concentrated, I arranged six teams at each of the two entrances to be responsible for frontal assault, and the other six teams are responsible for sneaking into the upper valley areas of the east and west early, which are mostly covered by needle pine, and there are no wanderers on weekdays, so their main task is to descend from the top of the valley to the rear of the wanderers, cooperate with the frontal attacking team to flank and harass the rear, and at the same time attract the attention of the bounty hunter commando team of the power station.

In addition to these main battle forces, I also deliberately selected some of the Burmese who are the most skilled in manipulating Gu objects, these Burmese are about fifty people, but the number of Gu things they can control is enough to thousand.

Due to the narrow terrain of the valley this time, some large-sized ground beast Gu beasts could not play a role, plus the cold tolerance of Gu insects was too low, and it was impossible to adapt to a battle of this scale, so the main force of Gu beasts this time fell on those crow groups.

I thought that these crows had already been on the border of Dong Kou Province and that they had been lost when they attacked Wei Yuanhu's town and Jiuhe City, but I later learned that this was not the case.

It turned out that these crow flocks had been kept by the Burmese in advance in some caves with suitable temperatures for "rest", and now that we were going to attack the Evergreen Valley, Gochai asked someone to specially transfer these crow flocks out.

However, even if it is a flock of crows, it is impossible for them to fight in cold areas for a long time, so these crows can only act as cannon fodder for us in the first wave at most, and we can't pin too much hope on them, and the follow-up battle still depends on our own hard power.

It seems that if the plan goes well, we can settle the battle within an hour of the attack.

But we must now face one of the biggest hidden dangers, that is, what is the Gu research carried out by the wanderers in the Evergreen Valley, after all, even the bounty hunters can't find out these internal information, if there are some key things in it, enough to destroy and change the tide of the war, we may not be able to deal with it.

But Gochai thinks that this is not very likely, because their Burmese Gu masters must have studied these things much more deeply than those wanderers, but they have no breakthroughs, at most, they have a very strong control of Gu things, and for this kind of foreseeable danger, we have enough means to deal with it.

What's more, due to the temperature factor here, even if some kind of powerful Gu really exists, we don't need to worry too much.

Although I have Gochai's affirmation, I still have no bottom in my heart, so I have issued a special reminder order to all the people, telling them to be careful when attacking the entrances to some underground levels, and only after we have cleared all threats from the ground can we officially start the search of the underground level.

It took about a day and a half to prepare for the battle, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, we set out the assembled team towards the direction of the Evergreen Valley after nightfall the next day.

Since the path along the way had been cleared and explored by our people in advance, there were no obstacles on the way, and by the time we arrived at the area around the Evergreen Valley, it happened to be completely dark.

Because it is a valley, we can see the bottom of the valley roughly from near the edge. The more they rely on electricity, the happier I am now, because it means that when the power supply is cut off, the overall blow to them will be greater.

The first step was to clear out the few loiterer outposts we had found earlier, which was a piece of cake for the bounty hunters, and it took less than ten minutes to completely deal with it.

Then there is the assault part, which this time shows the advantage of unequal information, and when we are well prepared, the outer assault on these unsuspecting wanderers can be described as devastating.

The vanguard of the assault was mainly composed of former Salvation Army members under Bai Ye, who were already very good at this kind of frontal hand-to-hand combat, and the enemy's defenselessness, and the Burmese initial attack assisted by the crow flock, so that it took us less than ten minutes to clear the southern end of the valley into a safe area for followers to land.

Using this breach as a starting point, the commandos at the southern end drove all the way in, and soon took control of the outer wooden huts of the wanderers in front of them, where the wanderers only put up a slight resistance at the first moment, and then completely crushed them.

Similarly, the assault team on the other side of the north was also moving very fast, and the harassment from the valley tops at the east and west ends caused the wanderers to fall into complete confusion, and before they had even completed the power outage plan, these wanderers had already begun to flee towards the inner area.

And then ...... The bounty hunter commando team led by Lu Ming also easily cut off the circuit, and the entire Evergreen Valley quickly fell into darkness......

The attack was more than twice as fast as I expected, and it took us less than half an hour to clear the surface area of the valley floor, but judging by the number of people we've detected before, there are still a large number of wanderers who have slipped through the net.

All of the valley passes have been blocked by us, which means that the surviving wanderers must have gone deep into the underground.

Last time, the Burmese controlled about half of the little black things were lost, but there are still the other half, that is, more than a hundred little black things, still exist, although I don't want this last wave of small black things to be lost, but now I have to let them open the way.

It's better to let a little black thing be cannon fodder than to lose a living person.

I first asked the large army to closely monitor all the areas of the entire valley floor, and try to find all the points that could be the entrance to the underground layer, and then asked the Burmese Gu masters of Gochai to control the small black things to dig longitudinally near the entrance to the underground layer that we have established.

Soon we were able to dig several large openings in the entrances, and some of the wanderers hiding below were killed by the little black thing.

I've been worried about the existence of the same evil spirit here, so I've been preparing for it, but until we dig longitudinally to the bottom of the underground level, there is no sign of any energy showing.

In addition, none of the people showed any abnormal reactions, so there would be no spiritual energy generated by Qianqian's bones here.

The assault went on and so on, and everything turned out as I expected, and even went much faster, but there was only one place where things went wrong.

That's the semi-infected group.

According to the information that the bounty hunters have probed back before, there are indeed a large number of half-infected laborers in this Evergreen Valley who serve as coolies, but from the beginning of the attack to the current temporary end, we have not seen the shadow of half of the half-infected.

This makes some sense, after all, we have already arranged the encirclement in advance, and there is no situation where anyone can break through, so ...... Could it be that these semi-infected people were evacuated to a safe area in advance, that is, in the underground layer in other directions, as ineffective personnel?

This does not seem to be in keeping with the usual style of the loiterers, who are in the habit of preserving their own lives first, especially in the case of such a large-scale surprise invasion, and they are likely to force those of the half-infected groups to rush out and be cannon fodder to cover them.

As soon as I thought about this, Zhao Tian suddenly ran in front of me.
