In two days, the advance team had completed the detection and cleanup of the two strongholds. Only two warlocks were slightly injured. The results achieved were already extremely difficult.
In this result, Welling's analysis and judgment played a very important role.
Being able to provide a sense of security and trust to fellow soldiers is the most valuable bond between sergeants.
Shou Gong could clearly feel that the way everyone looked at Wei Ling was different from the beginning, with a lot more trust and gentleness.
Immediately, Li Kongqing directed everyone to collect the corpses of all the killed enemies, record their mecha numbers, identity numbers on their clothes, and images one by one, and upload them to a data file.
Then collect various weapons and guns, and if there is ammunition of the same caliber that can be used universally, it will supplement the consumption of the advance team.
After all the follow-up work is completed, it is waiting for the next step of instructions to be sent back from the enchantment.
…
Yasi County, County Sheriff's Mansion.
Senior commanders such as General Yang Duande, Chief of Staff Xiao Jingmo, Inspector-General Shen Songjie, and other relevant officials from Yaxi County gathered in the spacious meeting hall of the County Sheriff's Mansion.
The two advance teams, one in the south and one in the north, both sent back various data on the original enemy front line. The holographic wartime system graphics were like snail horns extending two long tentacles toward the west.
As various data were compiled, the general shared the data with everyone:
"Everyone, it seems that our prediction is correct at present. The strongholds of the Xixuan Federation on the entire front line are basically abandoned, and the remaining enemies cannot shake the pace of the Western Expeditionary Army."
"Yes, my lords are wise, the Western Expeditionary Army has been selected and assembled, and is waiting for the final supplies to be assembled. It will be ready to attack Patbon tomorrow."
Wang Jueming, the newly promoted commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, inserted an information report.
"Well, very good!"
The general is quite satisfied with the current situation:
"You can instruct the two advance teams to continue clearing the remaining enemies in the stronghold if conditions permit, ensure the connection with the system, and try not to lose contact.
The results of the advance team are very good! The information will be rewarded first, and the medals will be awarded after the war! "
The official in charge of information readily agreed.
Sheriff Bai Su and Sheriff Qinghui looked at each other with a slight smile.
Everyone knows that General Yang Duanjue is a member of the Imperial Taiwei Wang Kujiu, and the advance team heading north is headed by the prince's descendants.
Unfortunately, according to current data, the northbound advance team suffered heavy losses as soon as they entered the first target, losing nearly 30% of their members.
Since the general said that both advance teams have achieved outstanding results, he must have made up his mind.
What's ridiculous is that after the northbound advance team suffered damage to the minefield and reported to Yaxi, it happened to be the time when Li Kongqing's team was consulting the Yaxi expert team on the three-dimensional sound wave images.
This sequence is enough to show the wisdom and quality of the commander of the advance team.
The general's mine warfare severely damaged the enemy. As a result, the enemy casually arranged it in accordance with the law during the escape, but the prince's children suffered setbacks.
This sounds a bit ironic.
Several other large strongholds along the line must have similar mine arrays.
But if the empire's follow-up troops are on guard, there will be no danger.
Master Xiao Jingmo Xiao's smile was more reserved.
He is an official of Xie Xinyi, the prime minister of the empire, and everyone in the empire knows that Xie Clan is on good terms with Li Clan.
As for Shen Songjie, the loyal dog of the imperial censor Li Jubai, his attitude can naturally be imagined.
Master Shen took the initiative to control the intelligence surveillance system during the war, so he naturally knew all the situations of Li Kongqing's team. He was certainly well aware of Wei Ling's key role in the team's clearing of the two targets, so he endured it. He did not thank Qinghui.
After all, Wei Ling is half of Qingfu's student. This is what Qingfu said personally.
Finally, Chief of Staff Xiao Jingmo gave his final instructions to General Wang Jueming of the Western Expedition:
"General Wang, we are going to Patbon now. We have decided on the strategy. I will not elaborate further. I only have a few words of advice. I won't be happy if I don't say it."
Wang Jueming quickly bowed and clasped his fists:
"Please make it clear, sir!"
"The empire's civilization has never focused on killing. Civilization and etiquette also extend to outsiders.
When I go to Pat State, I will treat the common people of Xixuan kindly and do not torture or kill them.
If conditions permit, some young children who have lost their parents and some young people who are committed to the empire can be selected and brought back to the empire to be trained into useful people by the empire. "
Wang Jueming, with his quick wit, really didn't know how to agree with the fact that the chief of staff would dig the foundation of the Xixuan Federation in this way.
"As for the rulers and soldiers of the Xixuan Federation in Pat State, they can be dealt with according to the empire's wartime rules. All their inherent military facilities can be destroyed!"
"No! I obey!"
General Wang naturally agreed to follow Mr. Xiao's earnest instructions.
…
In the Gaolibosu Mountains, Li Kongqing's advance team received a reply from Yaxi.
"Continue to clean up the front strongholds and remaining enemies depending on the situation, and stay in contact with the system!"
Li Kongqing was a little depressed:
"Without the totem pole and listening system, how can we stay in touch with the system?"
The advance team was formed that day, and the quantities of these material supplies were all equipped according to the maximum load of the "Blue Bird".
Li Kongqing was greedy and prepared more ammunition, energy, food, and medical supplies, while minimizing communications. The current situation he faced was insufficient communications equipment.
This will inevitably affect the extent of the team's exploration range.
"Brother Li, how many communication relays do we have?"
Welling didn't have a good solution for this.
In his understanding, the current long-distance communication capabilities are not even as good as before the Great Annihilation Era.
At that time, Daxia Starlink phones could make calls smoothly no matter how remote the mountainous area or even the abyss.
Without the communication satellite chain, or the number of remaining satellites cannot break through various ionization interferences, there is indeed no good solution in a short period of time.
Li Kongqing smiled bitterly:
"There are only four complete sets. We can explore and clear out one stronghold at most. We can only wait for the Western Expeditionary Army. After joining the army, we will see if the commander retains the organization of the advance team."
Welling nodded:
"There's nothing to say about this. The relay system is not something we can create. Let's continue heading north and clean up the strongholds first. As long as these three strongholds can be kept clean, the scope covered by them can provide passage for the Western Expeditionary Army. Give enough space.”
Li Kongqing also smiled and nodded to explain:
"Well, that makes sense. I'm just a little greedy and unwilling!"
Regarding the people in the Li family, Wei Ling had come into contact with two of them, each with their own characteristics.
But Welling feels that they all have one advantage, that is, they never hide their thoughts from others, which is easier to get along with.
Welling thought for a while and slowly analyzed it for everyone:
"My analysis is that after the Western Expeditionary Army reaches the front line, based on the information obtained by our team and the northbound advance team, the entire more than 100 kilometers of points that once had strongholds will be carefully cleaned up, even if it takes a day or two. , also make sure the rear is clean.
General Wang will definitely not disband the advance team immediately. This is not in the interest of the army, nor is it in the personal interest of General Wang, because the advance team was not formed by General Wang, but by the general..."
Everyone was stunned and nodded in approval.
The members of the advance team were basically the children of aristocratic families and people who had good relations with the Li clan. They knew more or less the inside story, and at least some understanding of some rules of the aristocratic families or official circles. They might have intuitively guessed the result. But no Welling analyzed it so simply.
"So eventually somewhere along this front, the advance parties from the north and south would join up with the Western Expedition, and then they would remain organized until they returned to Iaşi."
"Ha, got it!"
Li Lingyou became happy.
"What do you know? What's the next step?"
Li Kong asked with a green-skinned smile.
"Push all the way to the north!"
Li Lingyou is somewhat short of words.
Wei Ling smiled and shook his head:
"Shizuro, it should be like this. You see, our current position is in the southwest of the entire front, near the end. If we push to the north, even if we push to the middle point, there will still be dozens of large and small original ones in the middle. stronghold.
The current situation is that our communication devices are not capable of supporting such a long distance, so we must give up most of those points.
Therefore, we need to think outside the box and think from another angle.
So, do you think, where will General Wang choose to join the two advance teams? "
Wei Ling immediately showed everyone the situation diagram of the entire front line in his thoughts.
Li Kongqing thought for a moment and gave Wei Ling a thumbs up:
"Brother Wei Ling, this is a perfect plan! I understand!"
"Fifth brother, what do you understand? How are we going to fight?"
Li Kongqing rolled his eyes at Li Lingyou:
"How come I have such a stupid brother! You see, Brother Wei Ling's words have actually made it clear.
If I were General Wang, with a little bit of common sense, I would wait for the two advance teams at the midway point. If either side has not arrived, I would send reinforcements to push them over at the midway point! "
Li Kongqing's words made everyone who did not fully understand the meaning of Wei Ling's message suddenly realize:
"Oh, I understand. We bypass some of the strongholds in the north and wait directly in the middle for General Wang's Western Expeditionary Army!"
After everyone understood this, they all gave Wei Ling thumbs up:
"Brother Welling, we will definitely reach the midpoint before the northbound team! Haha, it will be interesting to see the faces of those who are late."
"Brother Wei Ling, please agree. We will use our limited resources to help General Wang clear a clean area at the midpoint!"
"Haha, this mission is very easy. You don't even need to use your brain. Brother Wei Ling is planning it anyway!"
"..."
A stream of complicated information emerged in the public communication space of the advance team.
The guard held the huge rapid-fire gun as easily as if he was just carrying a bundle of wood.
She smiled and narrowed her eyes. Everyone praised the young master, and she was even happier than Wei Ling.
After deciding on the strategy, everyone boarded the "Blue Bird" vehicle and ignored the obtained stronghold. Anyway, no enemy was found within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and the corresponding data was also uploaded.
The corpses were neatly placed there and did not need to be processed.
After the Western Expeditionary Army gathers together in two days, the Western Expeditionary Army may send someone to receive it.
Or there will be large vehicles coming from the Imperial Yasi side to collect the wall metal and weapons, and let them see these corpses to see the illustrious military exploits of the southbound advance team.
The "Blue Bird" took off lightly and flew toward the east for more than ten kilometers before turning north.
This is to avoid being locked by anti-aircraft weapons in passing strongholds and delaying time.
At the speed of the flying vehicle, it only takes about ten minutes to reach the midpoint of the front line, a distance of dozens of kilometers.
Turn to the west and fly slowly towards the middle point of the front.
Following the previous example of target No. 2 being attacked by a surface-to-air missile, this time Li Kongqing was very cautious when approaching the midpoint of the front line.
But surprisingly, this section of the front is also mountainous, but the mountains are relatively gentle, and there are many small plains dotted between the mountains.
A winding river, probably a tributary of the Mengshui River, flows through the mountains. There are also several beautiful small waterfalls hanging in the mountains, which are very beautiful.
Although the mountains are gentle, you can see with the naked eye that there are large or small caves on many mountains, which are typical lava landforms.
Compared with the original holographic battlefield system, there should be a large stronghold at this location.
But right now, it seems that there are no military facilities on the ground.
Welling made a basic judgment:
"I estimate that the Xixuan Allied Forces' stronghold at this location at that time made full use of the karst landform features, and all military camps were in those caves."
