Four Hundred and Eighty Five Desperate

While the battle broke out in the rear, the battle on the front line was not over yet. After Alan Hill's troops crossed the Maron River, the Three Rivers Plain of Yimapingchuan appeared before their eyes.

The five armored divisions of the 1st Army Group were spread out and galloped across the plain. It took only 3 days to occupy the entire Northeast region.

In the eyes of the soldiers of Alan Hill, this place is already a messy "moon surface". Or for the high-level executives of Alan Hill, in a few years time, the surface of the moon will be much more prosperous than here.

The burning mountain fire has just fended itself, and the countless destroyed forests have left only a piece of scorched ashes. The corpses of monsters are piled up beside the river, human remains can be seen everywhere, and there are abandoned villages whose original appearance cannot be recognized at all.

The fire destroyed many beautiful scenery, and some material staging areas were also abandoned. On both sides of the road are scattered armor and swords that have been deformed by the flames, and countless puppet parts are filled.

If there really is an end in this world, it should be the scene in front of you. Everything here is lifeless, everything here seems to have no life.

The Alan Hill Armored Reconnaissance Battalion in charge of the reconnaissance was dispersed and advanced more than 150 kilometers a day, without even encountering a single living person.

They passed through abandoned villages one after another, looking at the collapsed walls and the burned foundations, but they couldn't find anyone who could ask about the situation, or chat casually.

At the very beginning, when they crossed the Maron River, they also captured a large number of puppet empire soldiers. These soldiers were the same as before, congested on the road, huddled together as if they had lost their souls, and were driven by several Elland Hill grenadiers like cattle.

But now, living people have become a rarity. The reconnaissance team tried their best, but they were unable to find a few locals to ask for directions from the edge of the forest that was still burning with sparks and had been baked into charcoal.

At the beginning, the air force was ordered to cover the attack of the ground forces, and where countless fighter jets passed, it can be said that there was no grass.

Later, the ground troops found that there was no decent resistance at all, so they applied to weaken some air support.

As a result, the air force of Ireland Hill reduced its ground support from 2,000 sorties a day to 1,200 sorties a day.

Another day later, the ground troops sent the message that "the cuts continue, and the resistance is almost zero." In desperation, the Air Force only took off half of the sorties, and there were only 600 sorties of ground attack support operations per day.

As a result, the ground forces still couldn't find the enemy, not even the civilians. In the end, all air support was changed to air alert, and all ground attack operations were prohibited unless the ground forces applied...

What's depressing is that the ground troops still can't find anyone—whether it's resisting puppet empire soldiers or non-resisting civilians, they rarely encounter them.

On the third day, Alan Hill's troops finally began to find some villages. These villages were newly built by those who survived the bombing. They had no intention of fleeing. They stayed where they were, barely filling their stomachs and waiting for the war to pass. .

The arrival of the Alan Hill army did not shock these civilians, or that the other party had become numb to this war.

They sat leaning against the crumbling wall and watched the soldiers of Alan Hill pass in front of them.

Met the Alan Hill Grenadier who asked for directions,

They answered everything knowingly, and their cooperative attitude was not so much welcoming Master Wang as it was an extremely numb resignation.

However, this numbness that has begun to spread to the bones has brought them unexpected benefits.

Because they are so miserable, the soldiers of Alan Hill often leave them something to eat.

One reason is that Alan Hill's logistics supply is now very strong. The frontline troops often have helicopters to drop supplies. The ammunition and food abundance of the frontline troops are dozens of times better than two years ago.

Another reason is that these local civilians who survived the catastrophe are too miserable and too few. The people who stay are basically dilapidated. They are given food and supplies such as tents, and the children in Serris City are given to the zoo. The mood of Dragon Chow is the same...

The 3rd Army Group followed the 1st Army Group to the south, and the scenery seen along the way was even more poignant. After all, the 1st Army Group still has some adventurous mood to expand the territory, and they can only find some sense of existence by helping the local people repair their houses.

Throughout July, after Ireland Hill broke through the defense line of the Mullen River, there was not much fighting broke out. At the beginning of August, Ireland Hill's frontline troops had reached the southernmost point of the Three Rivers Plain and the south bank of the Somme.

This Somme, of course, is not the Somme in Europe on Earth. It's just called the Somme, a big river with a total length not much shorter than the Yellow River.

Arriving here means that the Three Rivers Plain has been completely controlled by Alan Hill, and the grain production area of ​​the puppet empire has been completely occupied by Alan Hill.

At the same time, the new puppet empire has also come into contact with the forward troops of the 1st Army Group of Alan Hill - now, there is no need to detour to Grecon, from the actual control area of ​​the new puppet empire, you can directly enter the control of Alan Hill area.

Some armies of the new puppet empire have also truly seen the huge gap in military strength between the two sides.

They saw Alan Hill's armored troops raiding a puppet empire army that refused to surrender from a distance. In just half an hour, an army of thousands of people was easily defeated. There were not even a few prisoners left.

Most people were overwhelmed by the intensive artillery fire. Those armed helicopters hovering in the sky with magical defensive barriers were like vultures hovering over corpses, which made people feel unappetizing.

And the traces of the legendary capital of the puppet empire, Burkeland, were finally discovered by Airan Hill's air force reconnaissance unit.

It is moving rapidly to the southwest, and it is about to approach Lake Lengorsk, the largest lake in the south of the puppet empire.

Because there is a large river blocking the way, the mobile centipede city of Burkeland has no way to cross the Lengosk Lake, so this is the southernmost point it can avoid.

It is not impossible to take a detour, but the road that must be passed is very narrow, and it is impossible to avoid the missile attack of Alan Hill by taking this road, so the result is the same whether you take this road or not.

Long Ling's fever has subsided, and his throat has also subsided a little. Although his nose is still runny, he is no longer sore all over. When Long Ling gets better, he will resume updating. Don't worry.
