Judging from the miserable appearance of the Radar Destroyers at this time, we knew that even if they were alive, their fate might not be as good as those who died.
After the limbs were amputated, the torsos of these radar destroyers were still too big to fit easily into the already crowded cabins of the walnut ships, so they were simply tied up and hung under the masts of the two walnut ships, leaving them to be exposed to the wind and sun. . Now there is no Destroyer who can control it to protect it from danger and wind and rain. These two Radar Destroyers can only carry it by themselves. They were unable to make any resistance or protest. Not only did they lose their joints and limbs, but their mouthparts were also cut off. From time to time, ants would bring a bit of fishy food into their mouths to prevent these two precious trophies. Hiccups halfway.
After the war, the Walnut Fleet and the bamboo-tube giant ships parted ways. The two bamboo-tube giant ships sailed westward upstream as originally planned, preparing to join the main force of the navy to participate in the next stage of the war on the Western Front. The original plan of the walnut fleet was to go to a place on the south bank of the Qinghe River to receive the goods destined for the Maolin Ant Kingdom. Now they simply took advantage of the rising water to sail directly to the main nest, saving the trouble of land transfer of the goods and handing over the two radar destroyers. to specialized agencies. As for the tragic fate of the Radar Destroyer, no ant would care.
My gaze returned to the north bank of Qinghe River.
Compared with battlefields that have experienced successive wars, the recent days in the Northeast Theater can be summarized in two words: "tolerance" and "suffering."
Countless destroyers passed through the guerrilla zones one after another to participate in the massive sieges outside, and ravaged the guerrilla zones over and over again. The weak guerrillas could only shrink continuously under the leadership of "Tree Under the Tree", giving up or being forced to abandon many nests, losing a large number of ant colonies and supplies, and then suffered more losses in the typhoon. Now From a financial point of view, the situation is worse than when "Shuxia" first took office.
But in fact, "Under the Tree" knows otherwise. Although many ant colonies and territories have been lost, the remaining nests are very hidden, and production is on track, and they are basically self-sufficient except for ammunition and firearms. In this way, the guerrillas become a source of water. Even if the battle is unfavorable, they can hide and wait for opportunities. It has been difficult for the Destroyer to completely destroy the resistance forces in the entire guerrilla zone.
The seeds of the guerrillas have also been retained. After reorganization and receiving new weapons, the guerrillas have become more capable before the typhoon. They dared to take the initiative in more dangerous areas, carrying out high-frequency reconnaissance and even ambush operations. This transformation is due to the training of arduous anti-mopping operations, and is also related to the scientific design of "Under the Tree" and the recent support provided by the local government.
Under the initiative of "Under the Trees", the guerrillas operate in small groups or even smaller groups, so that even radar destroyers cannot detect their movements. These guerrillas are composed of young and strong working ants who have experienced war. They are not limited to ant tribes, and their force is mainly equipped with guns. During battle, these guerrillas usually prepare a battlefield and ambush the passing Destroyer patrol after conducting advance reconnaissance.
The size of the Destroyer patrol is usually hundreds, which cannot be eaten by the guerrillas in one go. However, the guerrillas do not expect one-time results. Instead, they fire a round of firepower during the ambush, killing, maiming, and destroying three or five people. The guerrillas fled away. The guerrillas, who had already planned their retreat route and had a response, would not be overtaken by the Destroyers who reacted hastily after being attacked.
In this way, according to the experience taught by Zhu Jue, under this kind of tactics promoted by "Tree Under the Tree", the guerrillas have to fight several to more than a dozen times a day, killing and injuring anywhere from a few to dozens of Destroyers. Chengduo is also a big military achievement.
Until the typhoon changed the season and the entire earth's surface, and the Destroyers were annihilated. Even in the Northeast Theater, the guerrillas with smaller losses suddenly had an advantage. "Under the Tree" immediately had an idea. After reporting the plan and After receiving a nonchalant reply from Zhu Jue, who was worrying about the battle on the Western Front, he was finally able to let go and do something big!
After investigation, there are still three organized groups of Destroyers left in the Northeast Theater, scattered in three isolated highlands. Two of them only have three to four hundred Destroyers each, and the other is larger, with more than a thousand Destroyers. , commanded by a Radar Destroyer.
"Under the Tree" wants to take advantage of the right time and place to eliminate these three scattered groups of Destroyers and completely control the entire war zone. Then they can absorb immigrants from the mainland to open up wasteland and build cities, quickly enriching their strength, and before the next invasion of Destroyers comes, Build this war zone into the front line against the Destroyer invasion, not just a guerrilla buffer zone focusing on reconnaissance and harassment.
In this way, "Shuxia" thought that he could be officially promoted from the Northeast Lieutenant Governor to the Northeast Governor, becoming a high-ranking official.
Zhu Jue believed that the plan of "Under the Tree" was indispensable. If it succeeded, it would be great. If it failed, the guerrilla zone would not be completely destroyed. At most, it would continue to grow with restraint for a while, which would not affect the overall situation, so he approved the plan of "Under the Tree". plan of.
"Shuxia" also immediately used the reinforced walnut fleet to gather the scattered guerrillas and weapons and supplies by water transportation. They quickly gathered 2,000 troops and recruited 3,000 civilians to assist in the battle. The flying transport team also brought a new batch of support, including firearms and ammunition, which will be of great help to the subsequent battle.
"Under the Tree" first selected a small group of Destroyers in the first battle, with the intention of giving training to the guerrillas who had not fought in a regular battle for a long time. Although the result was a victory, the guerrillas, who had an overwhelming advantage in naval forces, flying knights and firepower, and had superior military strength, were not as clean and tidy as the artillery battles of the previous few days due to their relatively weak firepower. . The guerrillas' guns could not completely suppress the Destroyer's counterattack, and the guerrillas' landing organization was somewhat chaotic. As a result, although the battle was won, 500 guerrilla veterans were lost, and they were basically the first batch to land. Troops, this makes "under the tree" feel a lot of pain.
Fortunately, the militiamen accompanying the army have also experienced the flames of war and become mature. After temporarily filling the vacancies with strong militiamen, the combat effectiveness of the troops on hand "under the tree" can still be maintained. If this continues, it won't be a problem to eliminate another small army of Destroyers, but it will be very difficult to kill the enemy army of Radar Destroyers. Moreover, the water level is now decreasing day by day. If they cannot win within a week, even the current naval advantage of the "Shuxia" command will be lost.
However, just the day after the first battle, "Under the Tree" was delighted to receive an unexpected and powerful reinforcement from the sky, and his confidence suddenly increased!
