The new gemstone factory is still in the process of adjusting funds and equipment, and the army is here to help.
Two situations...should be one situation.
To the south and west of the kingdom, there is an anomaly in the Pangxun Plate, which includes part of the original border of Fatal and about two-thirds of the outer area.
The local sky turned dark for no reason. According to multiple witness reports, it seemed that the atmosphere was stripped away, making it appear dark.
However, an emergency reconnaissance aircraft investigation showed that the local area was not anaerobic, but that the high-altitude air was unexpectedly thin.
Without giving time to study how this phenomenon was formed, the demons seemed to quickly sense the anomaly and began to act in groups.
It is impossible to give way. Within the reach of the power, every step given will give the demons more habitat.
There is no time to take care of the demon disaster in the east. That is because there are several plates separated and there is a lack of ability to carry out ground operations in the east.
The floating islands close to the kingdom are different. They can still be managed. These places are also military buffer zones that need to be protected as much as possible.
Directly to the west is part of the original tall grass plain, and to the south, to the west of the Wind Valley plate, is the main plate separated from the original dense forest and swamp. The original terrain area of both is large, and the living conditions are harsh. The tall grass plains lack water, the dense forests and swamps are full of poisonous insects and monsters, and there is no clean water. They are all no-man's land.
After the island is transformed into a floating island, there may be some reclusive mages and a small group of people who are unfortunate enough to be stranded on it, but there are no elements that will affect military operations.
The Eastern Front is close to the Kingdom. After more than ten years of directional population flow, it can almost be said that most people have relatives who have settled in the Kingdom, and overall they are obedient. Although it is not to the extent of total contribution, occasionally carrying out military operations in the local area can at least prevent trouble.
There is another advantage - the floating island is large enough.
The size of the floating island is not only the area, but also the depth.
As time goes by, the vapor sea below has receded. It can be measured that the height difference between the surface of the floating island and the vapor sea level is generally more than six kilometers, and it has not even reached the bottom.
The temperature of the clouds on the surface of the vapor sea below is around 60 degrees. On average, the temperature rises by 1.5 degrees for every ten meters dropped. This means that as long as you dive down 300 meters, you will enter the pure steam layer. No matter how high the heat resistance of the demons is, At the same time, it may not be able to mix in high temperature and hypoxic environments.
Therefore, the demons have no way to jump from the floating island... This is also the main environmental obstacle that has limited the spread of the demons to the North and East Districts so far.
If the demons want to go to the abnormal atmospheric plate, they must penetrate the kingdom directly or choose one of the east and west lines.
The demons used tactics this time.
The stink fish that had been deployed in ponds and stagnant lakes were activated, forming an air-proof balloon position across several plates.
Soon the military realized that the demons were taking the eastern front!
This is thanks to the topography and geology of the tall grass plains to the west. This area is affected by the interception of sea breezes by the mountains further to the west. There is a long-term lack of rainfall, the soil is thin, and there are sandstones underneath, making it difficult to retain water, so that several tall grass plains are not there. A suitable place for releasing fish fry.
The little devil who moved around on the Western Front could only hold on to the inflated fish temporarily and let go when he saw the plane.
Although this form can also prevent the air force from making dive attacks, it cannot effectively block optical reconnaissance. The reconnaissance troops soon discovered that although the number of demons on the Western Front was large, they had no marching inertia.
"March inertia" is a military term specially developed by the army for the demons.
In the context of floating islands, the ground troops of low-level and intermediate-level demons have been completely eliminated. The little devils will have an absolute numerical advantage in various actions of the demons.
However, the little devil has been positioned as a "super soldier bell" because of its flying ability and super reproduction ability, and has also become a key research object for the military.
The spontaneous swarm actions of the little devils have one characteristic - the lack of marching inertia.
In human wars, we always like to use the number of kilometers marched every day to represent movement and combat efficiency. This is a kind of inertia.
A unit that can maneuver 80 kilometers per day during battles and marches. If it does not encounter targeted obstruction, its marching speed will not change significantly before taking the initiative to rest. From the perspective of the headquarters, this kind of high mobility and high combat effectiveness is also needed. The troops can penetrate behind enemy lines and steadily advance this matter to professional troops.
This is not the case with little devils. Their flight endurance is limited and they can only fly dozens of kilometers at a time. The bonus brought by the increase in air pressure after becoming a floating island is not much.
When the group of little devils lands on the ground to rest, once they find something they can eat, they will start eating on the spot.
They eat just about anything, including but not limited to carrion, weeds, leaves, and even cork tree cores.
The march will also stop for food, but that is just a footnote to the march, and for the little devil, food is everything.
The little devil will not take the initiative for a few hours after eating, and needs to wait for digestion and excretion to control weight. In fact, being attacked in this state can still fly, probably to save energy. After all, every kilogram of extra weight flying in the sky will cause huge energy consumption.
After a round has passed, if there is still food within sight, they will start breeding activities and build nests at a higher density.
This characteristic of action combined with their habit of eating almost anything means that as long as they are not in the desert, the little devils cannot continuously travel hundreds of kilometers. Even if there are millions of them, they will all be transformed within two stops. into nesting mode.
Only with the drive of a sufficient number of high-level demons can the little devil show strong enough continuous marching ability. Of course, it also needs to eat. The actual marching ability can reach its peak at just over two hundred kilometers a day.
So the demons used tactics, but relying on their understanding of the little demons and just a few hours of reconnaissance, the military decided that there were too few high-level demons on the western front and it was a sheep move!
The 12th and 13th regiments then mobilized more combat air forces to go to the eastern front. The regiment that was already waiting on the military Manniu transport aircraft suspended operations.
The emergency report was sent to Wang Qi, and then the diplomats flew to a certain city on the eastern front to secure support for the battle site.
In this plate that is close to the east of Wind Valley, many people have been brought into the territory by cross-plate permanent rescue operations. The rest also tend to be concentrated, but the scale is still not large, about 30,000 people in one city.
The selected lord of a certain city heard that the demon army was approaching. He did not make any demands and promised to obey the command in all actions.
In fact, there is not much that they need to do. They need to mobilize the magic power in the city to smooth out a runway as soon as possible.
The city originally had a small airport, which mainly provided magic gliding aircraft for takeoff and landing.
Bull pose requires a flatter and longer runway.
Of course, the propeller-type Manniu transport aircraft is still equipped with a magic lift module. It can maintain flight stability at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour under extreme operation. The actual runway length required is only more than 300 meters. An increase of more than 100 meters is not a big deal for the magician. amount of work.
In order to block the marching line of the demons, a magic signal machine was used to send a message.
Magic signal machines, like electromagnetic signals, are severely interfered with and absorbed in this world. They can only send out drip-like electrical code signals, but they are enough.
The diplomats at the destination confirmed that the magic construction had begun and calculated the maximum time required before sending a report directly.
Two temporarily mobilized reconnaissance aircraft were used as relays on the way, and were sent to the permanent rescue operation point, and then to Elta, and then the wired telephone went directly to the Palace Clerical Affairs Office.
Wang Qi confirmed the news and called the military department.
The military added fuel to Manniu for an extra hour of flight, and set off at a time when the airport would be completed.
On the other side, the 12th Regiment, which has relatively rich combat experience, took out a battalion and took two battalions of the 13th Regiment to urgently mobilize to the permanent rescue point on the east plate. There are also two battalions of the 24th Regiment stationed here, and the rest of the 24th Regiment. The battalion was also hurriedly transferred to Erte by train.
According to the dial position corresponding to the upper north and lower south, the 1st regiment is now at the 4 o'clock position on the east plate, and the 24th regiment is at the 9 o'clock position.
When the personnel and additional heavy equipment of the first regiment are transferred, the 41st and 42nd regiments of the slime mold army are also on standby at the central airport, ready to set off at any time.
