Chapter 126 Great Friendship
(This is the promise of Suifeng’s eternal renewing. Tiandi Yuchen’s will be at 12 o’clock. Subscribers will wait until tomorrow. Although the results are very mediocre, I will do what I say and will never default.)
Two hours later, the convoy climbed up the edge of the Gunter Mountains into the Diromos Plateau. The connection with the command system of the Northern Jiangsu Alliance Army is very smooth. Every hour, the two parties will contact each other to report the progress of the operation in real time.
Eight hours later, the sun was westward, and the convoy had traveled about 1,600 kilometers, gradually approaching the center of the Diromos Plateau.
At a quarter past 14:00, Tang Fang suddenly received a message from Montgomery himself. The general content was that the special service force that was sent to the Diromos Plateau to guide the miners' riot suddenly lost contact. The convoy of Fang and others is not far from the air force base, and Montgomery hopes that they will investigate it. If it is just a communication equipment failure, then everything is easy to say. If something happens, the arsenal should make preparations early.
Speaking of this special service force, Tang Fang once asked Nehemiah on the road. It is said that it was developed by a 100-member special service company brought out by Montgomery from the Thor Continental Missile Base. Like the garrison battalion, it belongs to the combat unit directly under the command.
Originally, last night, this special service force had joined up with the uprising miners, and worked together to control the tower, main camp area, and part of the hangars of the air force base.
According to the original plan of the combat commander of the special service team, a general attack will be launched in the afternoon of today when the enemy is mentally tired, and the entire air force base will be completely included in the uprising army. What the Subei Allied Forces have to do is to pay close attention to the movements of the 408th Division, which is most likely to threaten the security of the special forces. Once there is any trouble, they will immediately send troops to the Diromos Plateau, and give it a heavy blow from behind the 408th Division. fist.
However, I didn't expect that the 408th Division had not moved for a long time, but there was news that the special service team had lost contact. You must know that including the riot miners, the number of rebels on the side is as many as 1,500, and there is only a brigade-level air force base, including ground staff. There are only about six or seven hundred people, with a force gap of nearly 3:1. Unless the commander of the special service team is out of his mind, there is no possibility of missing.
What happened? Could it be that the government army sent other reinforcements? Or is it really just a simple communication equipment failure?
Turning on the vehicle-mounted holographic projector, the topographic map of the entire Diromos Plateau appeared in front of everyone. Tang Fang thought for a while, and ordered the convoy to turn around and drive to the air force base in the southwest.
...
The Kabuto Air Force Base is located in the middle of the Diromos Plateau, with its back to the south of the lake. The entire northern plain of the Sunaru River and the eastern coast are included in the cruise strike range of combat aircraft.
In fact, in this day and age,
Some cutting-edge air combat aircraft have reached star-level cruising mileage. It is not a big problem to fly 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers after one supply is completed.
Logically speaking, the entire Croatan star has the air and space base of Frey Continent, which is enough to reach a sky firepower network covering the whole world. However, constraints such as time delay, pilot load, and weather effects are taken into consideration. The military has also built small brigade-level air bases in major regions to deal with general air combat missions.
From the point of view of the seasoned and prudent generals of the Inland Defense Force, such a plan is necessary to plan ahead. But in the eyes of some young generals of noble origin. This is purely taking off your pants and farting, it's superfluous. Just imagine in the empire, where the glory of "Celtic" shines, who would dare to risk their beheading. Come to challenge the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor.
To this day, anyone who has such an idea has been slapped heavily. The guys who dared to resist the government and dare to spit on the "Celtic" flag not only really existed, but also set off a revolutionary frenzy in Croatan. The flames of war spread almost throughout the northern hemisphere, and more and more lowly civilians in their eyes , One after another raised the flag of rebellion and joined the revolutionary army.
Compared with the southwest region of the Odin continent, the mineral deposits in the Gunter Mountains are much less, and the types are relatively simple. As a result, the treatment of the miners is far from that of their counterparts in the southwest region, so that Under the circumstances of heavy exploitation and oppression, and even the loss of dignity like pigs and dogs, they resolutely raised the banner of rebellion, responded to the call of the rebel army, and launched a riot.
First, they captured the mine and snatched a lot of weapons and equipment from the guards. Then, under the guidance of the internal response, they cooperated with the special service team while the aviation combat department of the Kabuto Air Force Base was out on patrol. Break into the interior of the air force base, paralyze the defense system of the base, and with an absolute numerical advantage, defeat the peripheral defense forces, and compress the enemy's movement space in the area of communication tower-airport runway-part of the hangar.
This was all the information Tang Fang learned from Nehemiah during the convoy's march.
Speeding southwest along the road, about 2 hours later, we came to a farm not far from the base. Due to the impact of the miners' riot, the farmer had fled to a safe area with his family and all his valuables. .
Tang Fang and others parked the vehicle in the farm warehouse, covered it up a little, and then formed three teams, with Aros leading 10 Reapers and 40 machine gunners, Grant leading Walton, Joey and 40 machine gunners, and others Then lead the remaining personnel to sneak towards the east, west, and north areas of the base.
Unsurprisingly, Howson expressed his dissatisfaction with the matter of "changing from a team leader to a soldier". Go into that thing's back door and never let it out", he wisely shut up.
God, when he thought of that squirming, chrysanthemum-like hole, he couldn't help but feel a chill, and he felt like vomiting up the last night's meal.
Compared with Howson, who was pale and looked like a little girl who met a flower picker, Grant, Walton and the others were extremely excited. Even if there was a tough battle waiting ahead, they were full of encouragement and pride.
With 40 machine gunners, he actually let himself be in command. It is every soldier's dream to be able to lead a brave and elite division. Grant and the others knew the combat effectiveness of these machine gunners. Any one of them, if they were taken into the rebel army, would be as ruthless as one against ten, or even one against a hundred. How many rebel soldiers regarded them as benefactors, idols, and even heroes.
For such a powerful fighter, he was willing to entrust him and others to lead him. What does this mean? It not only represents his trust in himself, but also his affirmation of himself.
The excitement in Grant, Walton and the others was beyond words, but what they looked at Tang Fang was full of fear and uneasiness.
Tang Fang caught the expressions of several people in his eyes, sighed unconsciously, and patted Grant on the shoulder: "I believe in you!" After speaking, without further words, he led his subordinates and strode forward.
When little Sam walked past Grant, he couldn't help looking enviously at the machine gunners behind him, and muttered to himself, "When I grow up, I want to lead such a team..."
However, Nehemiah glanced at Tang Fang's back with wise eyes, and Grant, who hadn't recovered from his senses, smiled slightly: "Congratulations, you have gained an amazing friendship."
"Grant, you're going to screw things up, I slapped your head off and kicked it like a ball. Hmph!" After saying this in a fit of anger, Howson slammed his head cover together, shook it three times, and twisted Butt followed Tang Fang closely.
When Grant came back to his senses, Tang Fang had disappeared, and Aros's back slowly sank to the end of the horizon.
"Gudu" swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he patted Walton and Joey who were still sluggish: "Let's go."
"Oh." The two mechanically agreed, and walked forward behind him. Behind them, there are 40 machine gunners who have not said a word from the beginning to the end, and they have a heavy breath like a mountain.
The sunlight pierced through the wooden fence and shone on their shoulder armor, reflecting circles of dazzling light.
