One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fourteen, 2 with 1 Shot

While the Battle of Doro Island was in full swing, the Allied forces from Europe and the United States continued to advance southward.

Due to repeated ambushes by aliens, both the European coalition forces and the American army were much more cautious than before, and their marching speed was much slower than before.

However, slowness is only relative. No matter when it comes, the marching speed of the fully mechanized troops will not be much slower, destroying all enemy nests along the way!

The strategic nodes of humans are cities, and the strategic nodes of aliens are lairs. Whether humans or aliens, they are all based on points. No matter how large-scale a field battle is, it is an appetizer for capturing strategic nodes.

In mid-May, shortly after the Southeastern Cluster advanced to Douro Island for the second time, the European Allied Forces' Western Front troops successfully regained the Western European plains and advanced the front to the French-Spanish border.

The troops on the Eastern Front also fought well, successfully regaining the Pod Plain, driving the enemy deep into the Alps, and advancing the front to the south bank of the Danube River.

The complex terrain deep in the Alps is not conducive to the deployment of mechanized troops. Therefore, the European coalition forces have no idea of ​​​​entering the Alps for the time being. According to the plan, the European coalition forces are preparing to move south from the left and right sides of the Alps. While surrounding the Alps with heavy troops, they will seize the Apennine Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula. , wait until the time is right to catch all the enemies who have fled into the mountains.

In the Americas, the American army gathered heavy troops on the east and west fronts, advancing step by step, constantly compressing the aliens' actual line of control. Not only did it regain the occupied territory of the American army, it also crossed the US-Mexico border in one go and pushed the front into Mexico.

The North American continent is wide in the north and narrow in the south, and the converging point is exactly the border between the United States and Mexico. In other words, the density of American troops after crossing the border is unprecedented.

However, more troops are not always better. Franklin rationally asked most of the American troops to stay put and only allowed a quarter of the total troops participating in the war to cross the border.

All in all, mankind's military operations during this period have achieved great success. Although there are some minor problems on the three fronts of Asia, Europe, and the United States, the flaws cannot be concealed. Overall, mankind still has the upper hand.

It was also during this period that the confrontation between the enemy and ourselves entered a new stage. To sum up, humans became armored, giant bugs became ammunition, and bugs were marginalized.

But the aliens never reconciled to failure and have been secretly brewing new counterattacks.

Early morning on May 24, 2037, Beijing time, in the middle of Duluo Island.

Qi Jingwen got out of the armored vehicle and found a random place to solve his personal problems.

Just got back to the armored vehicle,

He saw the correspondent running over in a hurry and whispered: "Report, the latest order from above!" With a wave of his finger, Qi Jingwen immediately received an encrypted document.

Qi Jingwen asked: "What did it say?"

The correspondent opened the file and whispered: "According to the notification from the meteorological department, this year's tropical storm No. 1 is approaching Duluo Island from the southeast. The center of the storm is expected to pass through Luzon and Duluo around 15:00 this afternoon. The superior Order us to seize the favorable opportunity when the storm comes and the flying light insects are unable to take off, launch a general attack, and resolutely and completely eliminate the enemy!"

After Qi Jingwen listened, he looked up at the sky. The clear sky last night had been obscured by low lead clouds. The dark clouds were so low that he could touch them with his hand, which filled his heart with unspeakable depression: "Okay. Come on, I get it!"

The correspondent turned around and left. Qi Jingwen returned to the command vehicle and asked for the fleet's communication: "Youzhou, Youzhou, please answer after receiving it!"

"Youzhou received it, please speak!"

"Youzhou, the order has been received, but our department has consumed a huge amount of supplies and is in urgent need of supplies. Please ask the logistics troops to send supplies up as soon as possible!"

"Youzhou understands that the convoy is approaching your headquarters and is expected to arrive around nine o'clock!"

When the communication ended, Qi Jingwen let out a long sigh of relief, but he was not entirely relieved. He secretly wondered whether the supply team would be able to arrive on time.

At present, the landing force has controlled most of Duluo Island, and has suppressed the remaining enemies in the southern part of Duluo Island. According to the rate of advance during this period, it will only take a few days to completely control the entire island.

However, the landing force moved too fast, and the front combat troops were out of touch with the supply convoy. The remaining supplies in Qi Jingwen's hands were just for defense, and he had no ability to attack at all.

If supplies cannot be delivered on time, it will be impossible for Qi Jingwen's troops to launch an attack on time.

Although Qi Jingwen had already memorized the map of the entire island, but the decisive battle was imminent, he still found the map and carefully thought about how to fight this battle.

He is from the north and is not very familiar with tropical storms, but the sky is cloudy like this and the wind is getting stronger. It will definitely be windy and rainy soon.

The mountains on the island are high and densely forested, with towering trees everywhere, and the armored vehicles are made of twenty to thirty tons of iron. No matter how strong the storm is, it cannot do anything to the troops. The problem now is supplies. If we can't get ahead of the heavy rain, Complete supplies...

While he was thinking, the radar in the car suddenly sounded an alarm. Qi Jingwen looked up and immediately saw several flashing light spots on the radar screen.

Before he could count how many targets the radar had discovered, the beeping sound suddenly became extremely rapid. There were only a few light spots on the screen one moment, but densely packed light spots occupied half of the screen the next second!

Qi Jingwen's eyes widened suddenly, he opened the roof and got out of the car.

Under the lead clouds, a group of giant insects rose up against the wind, flapping their wings and flying into the sky. A low buzzing sound came from the distance, as if a group of airplanes were passing by at low altitude.

Qi Jingwen immediately retracted into the car and roared loudly on the radio: "The enemy is attacking, launching smoke bombs, laser cannons -"

With an order, all the armored vehicles immediately launched smoke bombs. Smoke spread around the camp and quickly enveloped a large jungle.

The twelve self-propelled laser anti-aircraft cannons accompanying the team were activated immediately. The cannons were aimed at the flying insects in the sky. The lasers pierced the sky in an instant. Every time the laser flashed, a flying insect fell.

The light defense cannon is a new piece of equipment that was delivered to Duluo Island just a few days ago. It is equipped with a low-power laser cannon on the chassis of a light armored vehicle. It has a long range and a fast reaction speed. It is the most ideal field air defense weapon.

Since the beam can only be directed directly, this laser cannon is mainly used for air defense. Of course, it can also shoot ground targets under suitable conditions.

Before the light protection cannon was equipped, the landing troops could only move around the periphery of Duluo Island and could not escape the cover of the fleet under any circumstances; after the light protection cannon was delivered to Duluo Island, the landing troops immediately moved into the depths of Duluo Island.

Being able to capture most of Duluo Island in such a short period of time was largely due to the light defense artillery.

But today is different from the past. The clouds are too low. With a few flaps of wings, flying insects can rush into the dark clouds and hide, using the clouds to protect themselves. The clouds can also block lasers, killing two birds with one stone!
