0754 They Escaped? (a)
0754
"The resistance is too weak. www.biquge.info"After easily crushing the resistance of the small force of the Sijing people, all the Iron Eagle military commanders, including Lin Hai, felt a little strange.
Although they had already reconnoitred on the periphery, coupled with the previous tracking of the Sijing troops who retreated to New Haven City, they knew the approximate strength of the Sijing people here, more than 1,000 people, less than 2,000, sparsely equipped with heavy equipment, and the only small number of Devourer tanks that posed a threat were all wiped out by the Iron Eagle sneak attack from behind when they attacked the research base before.
But even so, it wasn't that they tossed outside the city for a long time, and they gathered troops again, and they launched a formation to make a big battle, but the Sijing people didn't know at all, right?
You must know that the reason why so many things will be done outside the city is to lure out the troops of the Sijing people as much as possible, and then after eliminating their main force in one fell swoop, they can reduce the probability of street fighting.
You know, although it seems that the Iron Eagle army is well-prepared and well-equipped, once it gets into street fighting, look at the M Army in the Middle East, no matter how advanced it is, it is not that many people will die. But the key is that Lin Hai didn't want his core army to die too many people for the people of country M.
That's why he's bringing so much heavy gear and weapons with him this time - there's a sniper in the building! Rumble~! There are barricades ahead! Rumble~! There is a fire point on the opposite side! Rumble~!!
The Annihilator 150mm smoothbore gun against these targets is simply not too simple!
But the premise is that you have to find those targets first......
"Sir, we've entered the city center and haven't encountered the Sijing troops again." An hour later, Lieutenant Colonel Banninger's voice rang out again over the communicator.
"Are there any other strange phenomena or discoveries besides the Sijing people?"
"Not really, sir." Banninger replied as he relayed back what might have been a view of the street from the camera outside his car.
In a city without sunlight, it was pitch black because the street lights were not turned on, or rather, there was no electricity, and only the headlights on the Iron Eagle troop vehicles provided some illumination. If it weren't for the night vision function of the external camera, it would be difficult for Lin Hai to see a city with more than 100,000 inhabitants through the gloomy and haunted buildings on the screen.
"Didn't you find any residents?" Looking at the screen, Lin Hai asked, "Didn't the people of Country M say before that there are still some residents here who haven't fled, right?" ”
Banninger replied: "No one has found out but ourselves." Either they eventually left New Haven, or they were already killed or enslaved by the Sijings. ”
"This kind of place without plenty of light really looks like a ghost town." Lin Hai muttered, then looked back at the electronic sand table and determined where each army was now, "A few hundred meters ahead of you, it seems to be a city park, be careful that you will encounter an ambush." Just because you only encountered that small group of Sijing people before, it doesn't mean that all the Sijing people will disappear out of thin air, they may also be hiding. After all, they are not stupid, and with the disparity in strength, they may not necessarily fight us head-on. ”
"That's what I thought, too." "So I suggest that the task of capturing the port docks can be given to the troops of the right flank." In fact, they were a little closer there. And they are near the sea, and their flanks are a little safer. ”
"Okay, let the M people take over the defense of the area occupied by the troops on the right, and send Company C of the Hunter Tank Battalion and Company A of the Mecha Battalion to the port." Lin Hai ordered Sun Dahai, and then said to Baninger, "After you arrive in the downtown area, you will take the entire city as the center and gradually control the entire city. If the house-to-house search is insufficient, the M army can do it, and they have a lot of experience in this area. ”
"Got it, but then again, we don't have 10,000 people on either side combined, so it would take too much time to completely clean up the entire city, right?"
"We don't really have to worry about the rest of the area, we just need to take care of the safety of the port and the road leading to the research base. As soon as the Ulysses arrives and hands over the drone to us, we can all evacuate New Haven. Our goal is always to be in New York, at least to give us an idea of what New York City looks like right now. After all, what the captives say is only verbal, and we need audiovisual materials to determine what the situation has deteriorated. And we need to collect samples of those green crystals. Sijing people made such a thing in New York, and those green crystals would definitely not be a simple thing. ”
"Understood. I intend to shrink the troops on the left flank and shorten the gap between them and my central forces, so that it will be easier to protect the passage between the port and the base. ”
"Yes. You are a front-line commander, and you have the right to make such adjustments......" Lin Haizheng said, and a beep came from the quantum communicator next to him, indicating that there was a contact coming in.
Sun Dahai got up and connected the communicator and started talking to the other side, but in a few seconds, he turned off the communicator and said to Lin Hai: "Sir, the base has reported that the spy ship Ulysses has entered Long Island Bay and will arrive at the port in an hour. ”
"So fast?" Lin Hai was surprised for a moment, then looked at the map, "Isn't the scheduled time to arrive tomorrow afternoon?" ”
"Maybe something outside of the world made them speed up." Sun Dahai replied, "We only have an hour now. ”
"At the very least, we have to make sure that we keep the port under control." Lin Hai turned around and ordered Baninger, "Lieutenant Colonel, the situation has changed a little, I want you to control the port within half an hour." ”
"There's no problem with the ride, but if you ride the whole way, it's easy to get ambushed on the road."
"Didn't the two armored companies on the right flank already let them go to the port? Just send some more troops to support them, anyway, now the Sijing people don't know where to hide, if they jump out, we will welcome it very much. ”
"Understood, I'll do it right away."
As a result, as Lin Hai said, it didn't take much effort, and the troops on the right flank managed to control the port within half an hour, and there were still no encounters with the Sijing people along the way.
"Could it be that the Sijing people have completely evacuated the city? Isn't a place like a port an important strategic point? You can't even see the Sijing people here? For this result, Lin Hai felt more and more incredible, and he now wondered whether it was because the way of thinking was different between Sijing people and humans, or because people no longer needed shipping, so they casually abandoned the port.
