Chapter 287 Covering the Lid (Second Update)
The commander's order was also a helpless choice. In a regular battle, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up the peripheral firepower points.
But now there are two ruthless people on the opposite side, and the magic they use is incredible, and they still attack and defend. How can this be reasonable?
The most important thing is that no one can even figure out the other party's position. The ice attribute is really annoying!
At this time, the commander missed the dead Thirteenth Master very much.
The ice attribute on the opposite side is definitely not B level. If the Thirteen Masters are still alive, they should be able to sense the aura of the same attribute.
Now he has no choice but to let everyone retreat and defend.
Fortunately, the main site is extremely sturdy, and special treatment was basically done when it was built.
No matter how strong the A-level earth attribute is, it is impossible to topple the main station quickly with ground thorns.
In fact, that guy didn't even climb the fortress. He only bullied the tall sentry towers. He must be reluctant to waste his superpowers.
After the commander gave the order, he thought about it and added something more, "Each firepower point, conduct trial firing in batches."
Ammunition is not very rich, however, this kind of exploratory shooting is still necessary.
The possibility of injuring the opponent is not very high, but in any case, it is a deterrent, isn't it?
Hearing the gunshots one after another, the commander breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, he had responded.
Maybe not the best decision, but definitely not the worst.
From the time of the attack to now, it's a long story, but it only takes about ten minutes in total.
At this time, the general military station in the core area called here and asked what happened.
When the bunker was attacked before, the superior military station contacted them, but they could not give any decent guidance.
Anyway, you don't know what's going on outside in the dark, so it's good to stick to it. It's enough to send out a few teams to search.
It would be a wiser choice to wait until daybreak before sending out soldiers in batches to search and retaliate.
Later, Heitian appeared, and the superior military station also agreed to wash the ground with artillery shells, and reported it to the general military station.
Now the earth attribute A-level has appeared, and the general military station directly passes the large military station and connects with this medium-sized military station.
The commander honestly recounted the situation he encountered, his response, and asked for support.
"There is no big problem in dealing with it," the person opposite was obviously a high-level person. "When the enemy's situation is unclear, you should be cautious."
Then he said simply, "The support from the main station is temporarily unavailable. You can ask for help from the next level."
Please help me! The commander cursed in his mind. He knew very well that it was impossible for the superior military station to send reinforcements.
So he could only reply loudly, "Roger, I will send a request for support to my superiors."
However, the bad things were not over yet, as the top brass of the General Military Station gave instructions again.
"I strongly suggest that you send out a B-level team to try to find the other party and report in time."
When necessary, you have to be responsible for holding the other party back, right? The commander's face looked a little ugly, and then...the ground was wiped out with artillery fire?
He had just completed a similar operation, and the soldiers he was searching for died under his own artillery fire, but this time he had to switch to B-level ones.
He glanced sideways at the B-class warriors beside him. The two had drooped eyelids and no expression on their faces.
The commander was a little doubtful whether the two men would fall out on the spot if he accepted the suggestion from the senior military station.
In any case, as a commander, it is impossible for him to get out, but the other B-class...mostly come from diamonds.
In the atmosphere where the air was a little stagnant, a loud "Kalala" sound came from outside.
Immediately, a star thief came to report, "Report, the main radar was destroyed by Heitian's electromagnetic magic!"
"I'm so stupid!" The commander clenched his fist angrily, "Isn't this the end of the world yet?"
The main radar is not a weapon, but on the battlefield, this equipment is indispensable.
This thing is very precious, and the empire controls it very strictly. The star thieves don't have much inventory, so they really destroy one and lose one.
The main radar has a lightning protection device and can be used in extreme weather, but man-made electromagnetic attacks... are very helpless.
The commander had no more time to complain, so he immediately reported to the headquarters and responded to the "strong suggestion."
"The other party is very aggressive now, and they are obviously prepared. I think it is better to be cautious and don't send out a B-level team to search for the time being."
The higher-ups at the general military depot were silent, he felt it, and the military depot below resisted this suggestion, which was basically a suicide attempt.
Although he has a relatively high position, he cannot force the other party to die, he can only express it.
"I have reservations about your answer. Please stay in touch at any time and report the latest news in a timely manner."
The commander hung up the communication and immediately issued another order.
"All ministries should be careful and properly protect weapons and equipment that are easily destroyed by electromagnetic forces. If not necessary, it is best to hide them first."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the B-class warriors next to him. Their faces were obviously more relaxed.
But then, there was another loud bang, and soon the star thief came to report.
"The only aerial rail gun... was also destroyed by Hei Tian's electromagnetic magic."
"I'm so stupid," the commander yelled angrily, "Do you think the military station is easy to bully?"
Railguns are basically not used in ground combat. They are mainly used to target threats from space. They are considered a firepower point to protect the planet.
He scolded him, but he still had to give orders quickly.
"Order all ministries to quickly put away weapons and equipment that are not in use and may be destroyed by electromagnetism, now, immediately, immediately!"
He complained that the other party was bullying his military depot, but Qu Jianlei quietly left after realizing that there was no big target.
Not long after, a medium-sized military station two hundred kilometers away suffered almost the same devastation.
The difference is that after the military station was attacked, only two search teams were sent out, and no artillery fire was used to cover their own family.
However, both search teams are full of rebel pioneers, and the star thieves will also have a small calculation - let other people's children die first.
Qu Jianlei repeated the attack method from the last time, basically without using his brain, which made him a little confused.
The attack went so smoothly, but the news that the previous military station was attacked didn't reach here?
It really didn't reach here, because the two medium-sized military depots belong to different large military depots.
The General Military Depot did not issue a warning to other military depots because this time is too sensitive and it is best to suppress bad news.
As a result of the cover-up, the military depot suffered an attack that was almost a replica.
The next day, when the commander of the military depot learned the news, he cursed and directly reported the general military depot to his boss.
He was not the only one cursing, there were many other pioneers who were also cursing secretly...
In fact, Qu Jianlei was frightened by this operation at the General Military Station. The attack went so smoothly!
So he just didn't dare to go to the third military station... Mainly because he had very little internal energy, which was not enough to support three kills.
It was almost time to contact Muguoguo, so he found a settlement near a collection point and turned on the radio.
While calling, he held the B-class crystal to regain his breath, in case he encountered artillery fire again.
This also has a psychological shadow.
But this time, there was no response from the surrounding area. It took quite a while to get through to Captain Mu.
Is it silent again? Qu Jianlei vaguely felt the cruelty inside the encirclement.
He was about to turn off the radio when he turned it on, but Captain Mu's voice was a bit unclear.
"You have been fighting for several days and you fell asleep. What are you doing as a busy person... Arranging the wounded, and you don't believe me anymore?"
How many days did you fight? Qu Jianlei was puzzled upon hearing this, "Is the battle very intense?"
"It's hard to explain," Captain Mu sighed and yawned again, "But it's none of your business. Do you have any good news?"
Qu Jianlei was indeed a little curious about the fighting situation in the encirclement, but he was not a nosy person.
Since the other party didn't want to talk, he didn't bother to ask - the main force in the battle was the pioneer group after all, and he was only responsible for tactical harassment.
He didn't graduate from a military academy. As a layman, he just had to do what he could. Is it necessary for him to put so many dramas on himself?
So he first asked about the artillery and asked the other party if he wanted it. If necessary, he could contact him on his behalf.
Captain Mu said without hesitation that he would definitely need this and would pay for it - but the current banknotes were not very valuable.
Qu Jianlei said that there is no need to worry about money now, just work together to defeat the Star Thieves.
He is not really that generous. After all, carrying that secret vault also consumed a lot of his inner energy, and he had to rely on crystals to regain his energy.
But Pan Yifu's words also reminded him that once a deal is completed, if the other party needs it in the future, can he make an offer?
Moreover, the value of energy block silver notes has depreciated so much, which price should he set?
It's better to be generous and let the other party owe you a favor, that's all.
After expressing his stance, he brought up the Turtle Breathing Technique and said that he was willing to trade medicines.
Captain Mu was also very excited when he heard that he had obtained the medicine, especially when he heard that he had already obtained some for the wounded.
As for the Turtle Breathing Technique, he vowed that I will definitely facilitate this for you, so you can rest assured.
Finally, people in the settlement responded and began to organize a search team. Qu Jianlei turned off the radio station and left.
On that day, the Star Thieves withdrew most of their investigators - even the military station was attacked, so who would worry about it?
Next, no one was seen exploring the area around the secret camp built by Qu Jianlei all day long.
After resting for a whole day, he went out again at night, but he did not harass the military station again.
He still understands that there is no point in getting too proud. The key is that he uses his inner breath too much, and he has to regain his breath, right?
Two days later, that night, after he had moved the artillery pieces and shells away, he received a call from Commander Mu.
But what surprised him was that the person calling was not Captain Mu.
"Hello Black Sky, I am Hongyun from the Engineer Battalion. The spectrum and password of this radio station were given to me by Commander Mu."
"I'm out of the encirclement now, and I came here to see you. Can you give me a place?"
——————
Chapter 288 Turtle Breath Technique (Third update)
Hongyun was the commander of the engineering battalion, an A-level boss, and he actually came to visit him personally.
Qu Jianlei was a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. The two agreed to meet next to a settlement.
He wasn't worried about traps or anything like that. The other party only regarded him as a B-level person. If he really wanted to make some crooked idea, even two A-level ones wouldn't be enough.
Hongyun is a water attribute warrior with a relatively neutral appearance and thin lips, which makes him look a bit mean.
But Mu Guoguo has already said in advance that this elder is an enthusiastic person and very kind.
Facts have proved that he is indeed a model of incomprehension, and he handed over a brochure as soon as they met.
"This is the Turtle Breath Technique. I brought it from the empire. I originally planned to train a few more people, but now it's yours."
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei waved his hand quickly, "Wait a moment, you take a look at the medicines I prepared before confirming whether they can be traded."
If there is no reward for no merit, and the other party is particular about his behavior, then he will only be more particular.
Hongyun was really magnanimous in his behavior, and he was not polite when he heard what he said, and he looked through the medicines.
Then he smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. "That's great. The harvest this time is not small. I think it can be traded."
If this kind of transaction price were in the empire, he would probably make Qu Jianlei's face swell, but now he is actually very happy.
Qu Jianlei was very puzzled. Turtle Breathing Technique is not for sale. Are you so easy to talk to?
However, Hongyun directly guessed what he was thinking, and he said it lightly.
"This is the inheritance of my engineering battalion. I can give it to whomever I want. If others can't get it, they haven't helped my engineering battalion!"
Qu Jianlei was startled when he heard this, then nodded with a smile, "That makes sense, Mr. Hongyun is always happy!"
Hongyun said lightly, "You have never seen me unhappy before. There are many people who say I am difficult to deal with."
Qu Jianlei laughed when he heard this, "What a coincidence, there are many people who say I am difficult to deal with... So let's trade now?"
"After the transaction, there is still something else to do," Hongyun was really straightforward, "I heard that you have a cannon and are you willing to give it away for free?"
"I'll go, what kind of mouth does Captain Mu have?" Qu Jianlei could only smile bitterly, "It's not that I have it, it's that I can get it."
But Hongyun is very sensitive, "If you don't have it, then... you still have to spend money?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard this, "Don't worry about money. I promised it would be free..."
"But I still have to emphasize that this is a promise to Commander Mu. Lord Hongyun, this is the first time we have met."
Hongyun pursed her thin lips and said simply, "Then you can contact Xiao Mu and make a decision before it's too late."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "So you are not going to take away the artillery this time."
He is not afraid of Hongyun, and he doesn't care about the two Hongyuns, but he is really a little embarrassed by the mysterious level regiment of the Engineer Battalion.
Captain Mu has commented on the Engineer Battalion before, saying that this company has a good reputation and a huge influence, which should never be underestimated.
It is also a Xuan-level regiment. There are only a few A-levels from other companies, but the number of A-levels in the engineering battalion is double digits!
The reason why there is only one A-level member named Hongyun on Zarif Planet is because of the requirements of the Tian-level group.
In fact, before the engineer battalion was downgraded, there were still many A-level soldiers even in the sky-level regiment.
"I can't take it away this time," Hongyun came alone. It was enough to bring back the medicine.
Then he asked again, "I heard from Xiao Mu that you received the wounded from Liehuo and arranged them appropriately?"
"The conditions are very ordinary," Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, thinking to himself, Lao Mu, are you too talkative?
Hongyun looked at him thoughtfully, "Take me to see you?"
"Sorry about that," Qu Jianlei flatly refused without any explanation.
"This is really..." Hongyun shook her head in confusion, "I know all this, do you think I'm deceiving you?"
Qu Jianlei didn't listen to these gossips at all, "Let's wait until we get in touch."
Hongyun didn't look like he was lying, and was a little stunned for a moment. Please clarify, I am A-level.
But from another perspective, it is rare for this person to be able to stick to his faith in the face of Class A.
So he took out something and threw it over, "Look at this and you'll believe it, right?"
Qu Jianlei took it and took a look, but it was a keepsake agreed between him and Captain Mu. It was impossible for outsiders to know about it.
He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Lord Hongyun, please come with me."
Seeing him leave without looking back, Hongyun shook her head, with a smile on her lips, "Haha, that's interesting."
Two hours later, the two arrived at the secret camp.
The secret sentry outside noticed that Heitian had brought someone and showed up directly, "Lord Heitian, who is this?"
"You still can't trust me?" Qu Jianlei replied simply, "I can't tell you, there must be someone there who knows me."
After Hongyun entered the secret camp, she exclaimed, "This environment is really good."
Mu Huahua heard the noise and walked out of his room.
She was slightly startled when she saw it was Hongyun.
The two of them have met once or twice. They are really familiar with each other. "Why are you, my lord?"
Hongyun smiled and said, "I heard from Commander Mu that a good field hospital has been built. Let me see if there are any vacancies."
Mu Huahua blinked and replied with a smile, "There are still more than twenty empty rooms, but there are not many medicines left."
At this moment, she was extremely lucky that she had put the medicine away, otherwise it would have been difficult to shirk it.
Hongyun waved her hand indifferently, "It would be good to have a place to stay. Let's talk about medicine... Is there enough food?"
"There is some food," Mu Huahua didn't want to offend Hongyun too much.
In fact, she was more concerned about something else, "Has the decisive battle started in the engineering battalion?"
Hong Yun shook his head and replied calmly, "We've been fighting all day long. Can you still temporarily help take in about ten or eight people here?"
"It's not a big problem," Mu Huahua is not stingy. Who doesn't understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth falling cold?
"When will the wounded arrive? Do you want us to send someone to respond?"
Hongyun replied sternly, "I just asked, if there is any need, it would be nice if we could arrange some wounded here."
Then he winked at Mu Huahua and said, "Come out and let the three of us discuss something."
The secret camp is well built. The only regret is that it is not big enough. It is really inconvenient to talk about something.
The three of them came outside the cave and walked into a dense forest. Hongyun whispered, "They launched an all-round attack."
The star thieves have been going crazy recently, launching attacks regardless of the cost, and eight A-level players have been killed.
Among them are three A-level ones, those from the Pioneer camp, as well as five masters, six masters and eleven masters.
There are also two A-levels, the leaders of the third team and the fourth team respectively.
The detachment is the team of star thieves who go out to rob, but the star thieves on Zarif are not just a force.
Teams 3 and 4 have maintained their relative independence, and their leaders have not completely surrendered.
Since it is just a patronage relationship, it is normal not to include these two in the ranking of the head.
"Eight A-levels," Qu Jianlei was a little stunned when he heard this, "It's a bit tricky."
In the current Pioneer camp, there are eight A-level players at full capacity, and two of them are still recovering from injuries.
Even if he and Pan Yifu are added together, there are only seven and a half A-levels that can be played - Bald Man can only count half.
Moreover, the Star Thieves were ahead in terms of equipment. They succeeded in the sneak attack and the pioneers lost a lot of equipment.
Think about it again, the star thief has at least three A-level masters: the first master, the second master, and the fourth master...
Not to mention, since there are three teams and four teams, I am afraid that the first team and the second team will not be just decorations.
Mu Huahua was thinking about something else, "Are they just A-level warriors...or do they also carry heavy weapons?"
"There are not many heavy weapons. They are for defense." Hongyun knew what she wanted to ask. "The main reason is that transportation is not easy."
"But even so, the pressure is great. They are determined to launch a full-scale attack."
Mu Huahua's expression changed when she heard this, and she muttered in a low voice, "All-out attack..."
Qu Jianlei, however, kept his composure, "In other words, they launched an attack on other pioneer groups at the same time?"
Hongyun glanced at him and replied thoughtfully, "It's more about the engineer battalion and Black Rain."
"However, the other pioneering groups have indeed been restrained. There is no doubt that this mother is inconvenient for others to support."
Feeling a little unreasonable, Qu Jianlei thought about it and answered, "But I don't think the Star Thieves have an overwhelming advantage."
When the combat power is not much different, the saying is "encircle the enemy with ten, attack with five, fight with the doubled, and divide the enemy."
The Star Thieves haven't even doubled their strength, so why do they dare to attack them at the same time?
Hongyun nodded, "Yes, some teams can take advantage of local advantages, but if they are weak or real, it will be very difficult."
Or because they all go their own way, each pioneering group must first ensure that their own home is not in too much danger before supporting others.
Qu Jianlei suddenly had a bad feeling: Don't you want me to use my perception to detect the location of the opponent's main force?
Lao Mu, what do you want me to say about you? Are you so rude?
Just as he was complaining secretly, Hongyun asked in a low voice, "What do you think, how to break this situation?"
"He beats his, we beat ours," Mu Huahua replied without hesitation.
She still learned this concept from Qu Jianlei, but she thought it was very insightful and reasonable, so she just took it and digested it.
"Don't let the other side lead the way. Try to play according to your own strategy and try to mobilize the other side."
"Huh?" Hongyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded slightly after thinking.
"What you said is quite insightful... but it's a bit difficult to mobilize the other party. Do you have any specific suggestions?"
He was really anxious, and he even didn't hesitate to ask this little guy for advice.
"I can't make any specific suggestions," Mu Huahua shook her head.
Deputy Commander Mu's combat experience is not bad, and his ability to deploy and adapt to battle is also very strong, but he is not good at tactics and strategies.
She looked at Qu Jianlei, "When Liehuo was besieged, Heitian jumped out of the encirclement and harassed the enemy behind. The effect was very good."
