The typo was later corrected] The few people who entered the door with him did not have official identities, but before entering, he discovered that these people were all contractors, and even suspected that some of them were even exiled contractors on the wanted list.
The contractors who were traveling with them didn't know how to salute when they saw the federation's senior officials. After seeing Lu Yang taking the lead in setting an example, they greeted Xue Chang and Xue Chang unevenly.
Xue Chang didn't care. This federal marshal was always as calm as the outside world said, and he never had any airs:
"You don't have to be polite. This time, Xue has something to ask for from you, so he urgently called you all together."
Lu Yang was a seasoned official, so he quickly complimented him:
"The Federal Expeditionary Force won the first battle and severely damaged the Hesse Army without spending a single soldier. Marshal Xue commanded it well and is the pillar of our mainland."
Xue Changwen maintained the smile on his face and waved his hand modestly:
"It's not Xue's fault. The Hesse people are too proud and underestimate the enemy. Their tactical thinking is extremely backward. Their opponents are just too weak."
After saying this, Second Master Tan immediately laughed, and all the contractors laughed together.
Captain Lu took advantage of the opportunity and turned into a gossip reporter from the Federal Metropolis Daily. He asked respectfully in a asking tone:
"My subordinate belongs to the Supervision Bureau, and is quite interested in the modern war thinking mentioned by Marshal Xue. I would like to ask, Marshal, if you can shed some light on my subordinates' doubts?"
Federation officials are also officials. After all, Pandora and the Federation are bound together. Lu Yang doesn't mind that he can gain more friends through this unexpected call, so he uses his own skills to catch everyone who can lick the Federation. Grand Marshal's chance.
After all, the Federation has been without war for a thousand years. Xue Chang can be said to be the first powerful man in the Federation to truly command the army since the Unified Era. As for the outcome of this war, he won without any suspense. Combining these factors, Marshal Xue will definitely win the war. After the war, he became a new member of the Federation. Even the Qin family would definitely rely on Xue Chang. In short, the future prospects of the man in front of him were bound to be limitless.
With such political resources, Lu Yang would not hesitate to call him dad now.
However, several other contractors who were summoned could not stand the flattery in the officialdom. Seeing that the captain of the Punisher was so condescending, they immediately showed contempt.
If Lu Yangruo didn't see it, he looked expectantly and waited for the marshal's answer.
Xue Chang looked at Lu Yang and shook his head meaningfully. He seemed to be speechless about this person. After a pause, he still said a few words to save his face:
"Xue just had a brief opinion. The so-called modern warfare is, of course, the use of contract capabilities to flatten the management of the military and achieve a high degree of informatization, so that the headquarters can command every combat unit, upload and issue information, and control every situation on the battlefield; and With the three-dimensionalization of the battlefield, today's war is no longer a pure ground battle, no longer a two-dimensional competition on the surface of the earth, the entire space is a strategic depth that can be manipulated..."
"Well, let's just talk about it briefly. The most important thing is a high degree of mobility. Haha, this is exactly why we screened the list of contractors and called everyone here."
"As long as you are here, we can deliver our troops to almost any location we can think of. The Hershey Legion... they never dreamed that we would have our magic troops descending from the sky."
Lu Yang nodded repeatedly to express his approval, but he gradually understood in his heart, and couldn't help but be surprised... Could it be that the abilities of his contractors, including his own, are all teleporters?
It should be true. He received an order from Pandora headquarters today, asking him to report to Ya'an City immediately to support the federal expeditionary force. But when he arrived, he discovered that he was not the only one who was "recruited", but There are several contractors.
Isn't it possible to achieve a high degree of mobility through his portal?
The facts quickly gave him the answer. After Xue Chang finished speaking, he pointed at the huge sand table in front of him and pointed at the turning point of a winding path between the mountains.
"Please prepare yourself and activate your capabilities now to send our 20,000 people to this location."
.........
Lu Yang's portal slowly appeared.
Other contractors also showed their magical powers. Some people formed a black circle of symbol sources around them. The internal symbol sources scrolled, as if they could connect to a certain space. Others raised a mirror and manipulated you to change it under the symbol source. , this mirror actually showed the position of Marshal Xue Chang's finger just now.
The most exaggerated thing is that someone activated Fuyuan, causing his mouth to suddenly become virtual, forming a huge transparent space.
The soldiers who had already lined up entered Lu Yang's door one by one, entered the black symbol source circle, and entered the mirror. What everyone has in common is that their figures have disappeared, and they have been captured by these teleportation methods. The items were delivered directly to the designated location.
As for the guy whose mouth turned into a transparent space, after the soldiers entered his mouth one after another, his figure shrank rapidly. Everyone became the size of a mouse, and this space was beyond imagination. In almost no time, this man pretended to be frightened into 2,000 soldiers.
Then, the contractor closed his mouth and led the two thousand soldiers directly into Lu Yang's portal.
Presumably, once they get there, the soldiers inside will be released.
It turned out that this was a troop transport train... Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and the words Marshal Xue Chang just said kept flashing in his mind——
Divine soldiers descend from heaven!
.........
Overnight, the main force of the federal expeditionary force disappeared from Ya'an City, leaving only five thousand garrison troops on their original positions.
There is no need to worry here. After all, the Hershey Army has already lost nearly half of its troops in one day. Coupled with the extremely bloody and tragic first battle, it will be difficult for them to organize a powerful attack at this time.
Of course, even if the commander of the Hesse Army is a man and understands the opposite, and unexpectedly chooses this time to launch an attack... Of course, the probability of this is small, after all, the Hesse people are very It's rare to have such complex tactical thinking... In short, even if the Hesse Army attacks the night, there is no need to be afraid of the 5,000 federal expeditionary troops on guard. Marshal Xue Chang is already under Fuyuan·Modern Warfare's thinking. Proper arrangements were made.
After night falls.
On the Kassam Plain, which was covered with corpses and soaked in blood, a black figure of Fuyuan slowly appeared.
He hid in the darkness and tried his best to suppress his own talisman source, so that not a single fluctuation was leaked.
It was easy for him to do this, because Fu Yuan's virtual half-spirit level strength showed that his control over Fu Yuan was extremely good.
The strange thing is that even though his body has been able to transform into symbols, he seems to be carrying a strangely shaped heavy object on his back, which is unclear.
After floating and patrolling on the plain for a while, he reached into the illusory body and took out a transparent crystal ball.
This crystal ball emits a faint green light.
Under the stimulation, countless originally illusory consciousness bodies around him gradually condensed, and seemed to turn into visible entities under the illumination of green light, just like souls in terror.
One soul after another gradually accelerated, flew towards Nao's figure, and entered the crystal ball.
They are imprisoned in the crystal ball, and among the illusory body changes, they seem to be evolving into distorted human faces.
These living souls are all dead soldiers of the First and Second Legions of Hesse.
Perhaps, until now, they still haven't understood why the afternoon battle with opponents that could have crushed the enemy ended up like this.
As there were more and more souls in the crystal ball, the figure of Fuyuan seemed to let out a long sigh:
"I have been dead for too long, and nearly half of my soul has been lost."
After saying that, he put the crystal ball back into his body and took a distant look at the hillside opposite.
Behind the mountain was where the Hershey Army was stationed. As his body continued to rise, he could already see the rolling tents in the mountains and forests, as well as campfires everywhere.
Looking back to the other side, behind the federal position, Ya'an City.
In the temporary military camps where soldiers could still be seen everywhere in the city in the afternoon, the number of people was obviously much smaller.
He pondered for a moment and finally looked at the rolling Kassam Mountains behind the Hesse Army.
The figure finally disappeared slowly, but before disappearing it would emit a faint green light from the symbol source, and then it would dissipate.
This green light revealed the true appearance of the thing he was carrying before disappearing...
It turned out to be a stone, broken tombstone wrapped with iron chains.
.........
In the Kassam Mountains.
A bumpy path was illuminated by endless torches.
Soldiers wearing yellow Hesse robes held torches and marched quickly under the urging of the supervisors.
This road, like most dilapidated roads in the southern provinces, was in terrible condition. Not only could four soldiers walk side by side, it had just rained yesterday and was muddy.
Even though this road is the only road from the southern province to the Qassam front line.
The continuous rapid march has made the soldiers who originally lacked training miserable. Coupled with the muddy roads, some people kept falling down midway.
The supervisors holding whips kept beating them, causing the Hesse soldiers to scream in pain and struggle to get up. They continued to stagger forward regardless of the mud on their bodies.
Because the four army commanders received death orders from the front and must reach the Kassam front line before dawn.
Of course, most of them didn't know what was happening ahead. They just heard some vague information from the commander. It was said... a great victory ahead!
Under the wise command of the commander-in-chief, the first battle was a decisive battle, which had severely damaged the federal expeditionary force stationed in Ya'an City, Qinghu Province. Since a general attack was to be launched before dawn, the four reserve legions must rush as soon as possible to fight against the six vanguards. The two legions will join together so that they can get a share of the war.
A widely circulated saying among soldiers is that the battle after dawn should be the only resistance that the Federation can organize. If they do not win military honors in this battle, then the Hesse Army will march forward with the momentum of victory, and there will be no more Directly attack Kyushu City, the federal capital, without encountering any resistance.
By then, how can there be any credit left?
The howling wind started blowing, and all the clouds in the night sky were blown away by the wind. Countless stars twinkled overlooking the winding snakes composed of torches in the mountains, but the team could only move forward quickly or unhurriedly.
However, unexpectedly, behind the Sixth Hershey Pioneer Corps, on the territory that had always been in their hands, there was a sudden roar from the enemy's artillery.
Layers of echoes suddenly echoed in the mountains.
Just when the soldiers of the Hesse Corps stopped for no apparent reason, while calming down their chests that were almost bursting due to the rapid march, they were confused by this sudden change...
On the mountains on both sides, hundreds of flares were launched into the sky one after another, lighting up the night sky and falling directly into the marching Hesse team.
The light of the incendiary bombs instantly overshadowed the torches in the hands of the Hesse soldiers, and the entire road was filled with bright light, dispelling all the original darkness of the night.
Under the sudden light, some Hesse soldiers could already see the scene on the top of the mountain on both sides of the road. That was... the Federal Expeditionary Force, which was already in full formation.
The dense muzzles of various types of guns were already pointed at the ground. Following the death axis of the gunfire, grenades poured down from the mountain peaks like raindrops.
The federal Tsing Yi soldiers had long received the order. After the sound of the cannon was fired, and after the flares were launched into the air, all eight grenades distributed by no one must be thrown at the enemy who had no time to react within one minute.
On the narrow path, dense explosions resounded among the densely packed Hesse soldiers. The density was as high as the 20,000 firecrackers set off by the Tang people during the festival, but each explosion was countless orders of magnitude more violent than the firecrackers.
Even the wailing of the soldiers before their death was covered by the continuous explosions. After the sudden sound of death stopped, Hesse's team, which was originally formed like a giant snake, had been naturally cut into several pieces.
And every remaining piece is a lucky one who managed to survive this intensive attack, because they are located in an area that is beyond the reach of radar from the top of the mountain.
However, this last bit of luck soon ran out.
On the mountain peaks on both sides, gunshots like exploding beans rang out one after another. In each part, tongues of flame from the muzzles of heavy machine guns roared through the darkness, like meteors that were countless times faster, drilling into the remnants of Hesse's army.
This was another one-sided harvest. Of course, the four Hesse legions responsible for supporting did not know that almost the same tragedy had already happened once during the day, right at the battlefield where they were marching in a hurry to reach the battlefield as soon as possible.
.........
Qassam front.
Explosions and gunshots came from behind one after another, and the more obvious fire reminded the forward headquarters that a battle was taking place there.
Elder Ziniu felt something bad in his heart, because that direction was exactly where the reinforcements were coming.
Seeing the ugly expressions on all his colleagues' faces, the commander of the Fourth Army subconsciously asked:
"What's happening here?"
"What's going on! Something can only happen!" Elder Ziniu slapped the table angrily: "There's a battle there! A battle! Do you understand?"
"We only have one opponent at this time, and that is the Federal Expeditionary Tsing Yi Army. Isn't it obvious?"
