The fifty-fifty captain of the marching ants did not survive long. During the Destroyer's official offensive on the small fortified fort the next day, the place fell, and all the defenders survived.
Such sacrifices are common and occur every day in the increasingly fierce anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns in the base areas, and they do not cause too many waves. In fact, billions of ants in this world die every day from the jaws of the destroyer, and the entire ant civilization is already crumbling!

The commander in charge of the defense of the southwest base area, the Pavement Ant male "Black Horn", obviously had not yet understood the essence of mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare at this time. He dispersed some of the outpost troops in fortified positions. During the first wave of the Destroyer's offensive They all fell and died in battle.
Fortunately, the main force in the southwest base area had not been damaged yet, and they began to gather to fight.
At the same time, after a hard battle, the coalition forces of the "Dong Mao" and "Tubiao" forces drove back the Destroyers who invaded Beigu, killing more than 3,000 Destroyers and suffering tens of thousands of losses, and achieved a tragic victory. win.
After this battle, the differences in command between the "Dong Mao" and the "Tubiao" became public. The "Tubiao" rejected the suggestion of the "Dong Mao" to join forces. The commander stayed in Beigu, repaired the defensive positions there, and prepared Defend the Destroyer's next attack. The "Eastern Mao" department returned to [Ya Zi City] to reorganize and replenish its troops.
Just when the anti-encirclement and suppression battle in the base area had temporarily ceased, at the Black Fire Ant Defense Line, Zhu Jue's attack troops had been assembled and were ready to go out to support the base area at any time.
The formal anti-encirclement and suppression campaign reached its climax with the constant deployment of troops and generals by both sides.
————
On September 15th, a cold wind passed by, and the temperature dropped by half. It was obviously much colder in the morning and evening. Insects needed to hibernate in the cold night for a longer time to barely keep their bodies from being too stiff until close to noon. Time has just become active in looking for food to survive.
Cold is the Destroyer's ally. When the base area defenders' strategic mobility was reduced due to the temperature, the Destroyer's week-long general attack finally broke out.
The 400,000 Destroyer troops were divided into seven groups, ranging from 30,000 to 80,000 in each group, heading towards the three major base areas in a directional manner. Among them, the North Valley, the West Valley, and the East Valley each have a main attack force of 70,000 to 80,000 Destroyers. The other four groups of 30,000 to 50,000 Destroyer force divisions attack one line each in the North Base Area and the Southeast Base Area, and attack two lines in the Southwest Base Area.
The Destroyer's goal is clear, and its main force is still trying to enter the base area through the easily accessible valleys. However, the Destroyer divisions that directly attack the mountains are not weak in strength. If any Destroyer is ignored, it may cause fatal mistakes. The Destroyer thought that the seven-pronged army would be enough to disperse and tear apart the defense deployment of the base area, and then each route would have enough combat power to crush the defenders in front of them.
In the base area, intense preparations for war have continued. Production in the base area has almost completely stopped. Most of the ants have joined combat organizations at all levels. Military reserves are gradually being enriched through frequent airlifts every day.
The main force of the northern base of "Tubiao" has been restored to the size of 40,000 soldiers after replenishment. There is one first-line army. Among the remaining troops, the second-line army only accounts for one-third. Most of them are newly recruited troops with weak combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness of the third-line army has not returned to the level before the North Valley Blockade War. In addition, there are 40,000 reserve troops scattered in the northern base area, which can be mobilized to join the war at any time. The northern base area has to face two armies of 110,000 destroyers!
There are currently only 60,000 garrison troops left in the southeastern base area, and all their elite main forces have been transferred to [Ya Zi City] by "Eastern Mao". They need to face two armies of 120,000 destroyers and hold on for a week to buy time for the mobile troops. This will be the battlefield with the most difficult tasks. Fortunately, we can get support from the main force of the Black Fire Ant Nation's border defense line!
There are 30,000 garrison troops and a main force that has just been expanded to 50,000 in the southwest base area. The commander is "Black Horn", the male pavement ant of the Ant Alliance. He was not like "Dong Mao" and "Tubiao" who were airborne later. Instead, he was a leader who got lost in the local area with his legion of paving ants during the previous retreat and participated in the early establishment of the base area. So when Zhu Jue later let the ants of the Ant Alliance seize the leadership of the base area, "Black Corner" also gained a place. His position in the base area ranked fourth, second only to "Dong Mao", "Red Di" and "Tubiao". Bit.
The southwest base area is the focus of the Destroyer's attack. There are three groups of Destroyer with a total of 170,000 Destroyer coming to kill. However, through aerial reconnaissance, it was discovered that the Destroyers who attacked the southwest base area along the way had about 40,000 troops. The terrain along the route they were advancing was complex, and it was difficult to support each other with other enemy forces. Therefore, the base defenders are preparing to concentrate their efforts to eat this group of destroyers and open a path to the rear of the destroyers.
In the future, due to the disadvantage in strength, even with the cooperation of the Black Fire Ant Nation's border defense line, the anti-encirclement and suppression battle in the base area will still be very difficult. However, Zhu Jue has already formulated the "edge-turning" tactic. Once this group of Destroyers is eliminated, the large forces in the base area can use this passage to advance into the rear of the Destroyer-controlled area, where the Destroyer forces have been exhausted and are very weak. You can definitely take the opportunity to expand or even change your home!
But if there is no way to eliminate this group of destroyers, then the troops in the base area lack a spacious road to carry out the "bumping" tactics. They can only break into pieces and pass through the terrain boundaries of the base area to maneuver in this already cold season. Capabilities will be severely limited and even impair the implementation of the entire strategy!
The key to the "flinching" tactic is how to quickly eliminate these 40,000 destroyers!
To this end, in addition to the 50,000 main troops deployed in the southwest base area, the 40,000 main troops in the southeast base area of "East Mao" and the 20,000 elite mobile troops in the three major base areas led by "Red Land" will all participate in the war. !
On September 18, while other groups of Destroyers encountered frequent harassment and tenacious resistance and were limited in their advancement, the group of Destroyers targeted by the defenders of the base area advanced all the way and soon lost touch with other troops.
On the night of September 18th, this group of Destroyers was stationed in a newly occupied camp. Thousands of defenders here resisted desperately during the day. The Destroyer army had to spend a lot of effort to clear them out. Although they won the battle with little loss, they , but it was also delayed for half a day.
Seeing that it was getting late, the Destroyer took advantage of the situation and stationed himself inside and outside the camp, preparing to act the next day. Although the Destroyer was colder than ordinary ants, he would try to avoid blind actions on such an autumn night.
But this camp is actually a trap specially set up by "Dong Mao", a trap that can annihilate this group of destroyers without a fight!
