Chapter 484 485 DesperateWhile the battle in the rear broke out, the battle in the front was not over yet. After Alanhill's troops crossed the Maron River, the Three Rivers Plain of Yimapingchuan was revealed in front of them.
The five armored divisions of the 1st Army Group were lined up and galloping across the plain. It only took 3 days to occupy the entire Northeast region.
In the eyes of Alanhill's soldiers, this is already a mess of "the surface of the moon". Or for the executives of Alanhill, in a few years, the lunar surface will be much more prosperous than here.
The burning wildfire has just died on its own, leaving only a blackened ash of countless destroyed forests. The corpses of devil beasts piled up beside the river, the remains of humans that can be seen everywhere, and villages that were abandoned and could not be identified as they were.
The fire destroyed a lot of beauty and some material staging areas were abandoned. On both sides of the road are scattered armors and swords that have been deformed by the fire, and countless puppet parts are filled.
If this world really has an apocalypse, it should be the scene in front of you. Everything here is dead, everything here seems to have no life.
The Alanhill armored reconnaissance battalion in charge of the reconnaissance was dispersed, advancing more than 150 kilometers a day, and not even a single living person was encountered.
They crossed the abandoned village of one by one, looked at the collapsed walls, looked at the foundations that were burned, but they couldn't find anyone to ask about the situation, or just chat and say something. words people.
In the beginning, they also captured a large number of puppet Empire soldiers across the Maron River. The soldiers, as before, were jammed on the road, huddled together as if they had lost their souls, and were driven like cattle by a few Alanhill grenadiers.
But now, living people have become a rarity. The reconnaissance team tried their best to find a few locals to ask for directions from the edge of the forest that had been roasted into charcoal while the fire star was still on.
At first, the Air Force was instructed to cover the ground forces' attack, where countless fighter jets passed, it could be said to be barren.
Later, the ground forces found there was no decent resistance at all, so they requested to reduce some air support.
As a result, Alanhill's Air Force cut its 2,000 sorties per day to 1,200 sorties a day.
Another day passed and the message from the ground forces was "Continued cuts, almost zero resistance". In desperation, the Air Force took off only half of the sorties, and only 600 sorties per day for ground attack support operations.
As a result, the ground troops still could not 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 requested by the ground troops...
It's depressing that the ground troops still couldn't find anyone - no matter if it was a puppet of resistance Imperial soldiers, or non-resisting civilians, they are rarely encountered.
On the third day, Alanhill's expedition troops finally began to find some villages. These villages were built by people who survived the bombing. They didn't mean to escape, they stayed where they were, barely able to fill their stomachs. Wait for the war to pass.
The arrival of Alanhill's troops did not shock these civilians, or the other side had become numb to the war.
They leaned against the collapsed wall and sat watching Alanhill's soldiers pass in front of them.
When they met the Alanhill Grenadiers who asked for directions, they knew the answer without saying anything. Their cooperative attitude was not so much welcoming the master, but rather numb to the extreme.
However, the numbness that had begun to spread into the bones brought them unexpected benefits.
Because they were so miserable, the soldiers of Alanhill often left them something to eat.
One reason is that Alanhill's logistics supply is now very strong. Front-line troops are often supplied by helicopters, and the ammunition and food supply of front-line troops are dozens of times better than two years ago. .
Another reason is that these local civilians who avoided a catastrophe are too miserable and too few, and the people who stay are basically broken, giving them food and tents and other supplies, and Serris The children in the city had the same feeling of feeding the dragons in the zoo...
The 3rd Army Group followed the 1st Army Group and went south, and the scenery along the way was even more poignant. After all, the 1st Army Group still has some adventurous spirits to expand the territory, and they can only rely on helping the locals repair their houses to find some sense of existence.
Through July, after Alanhill broke through the Mullen River line of defense, there was not much fighting. By early August, Alanhill's front line had reached the southernmost tip of the Three Rivers Plain, on the southern bank of the Somme.
This Somme is, of course, not the Somme in Upper Earth Europe. It is just called the Somme, and it is a big river whose total length is not much shorter than that of the Yellow River.
Arriving here means that the Three Rivers Plain has been completely controlled by Alanhill, and the grain-producing area of the puppet empire has been completely occupied by Alanhill.
At the same time, the new puppet empire also has contact with Alanhill's 1st Army Group forward troops - now, there is no need to detour Greken, from the actual control area of the new puppet empire, you can directly enter Alanhill control area.
Some armies of the new puppet empire have also truly seen the huge gap in military strength between the two sides.
They saw Alanhill's armored troops raid a puppet imperial army that refused to surrender. It only took half an hour, and a force of thousands of people was killed. It was easily defeated, and not even a few prisoners were left behind.
Most people were overwhelmed by the dense artillery fire. Those gunships with magical defense barriers hovering in the sky were like vultures hovering over corpses. .
And the trail of the legendary puppet empire's capital, Burkeland, was finally discovered by Alanhill's Air Force reconnaissance unit.
It is moving rapidly to the southwest, approaching the largest lake in the southern part of the puppet empire, Lake Lungosk.
Because of a large river blocking the way, the mobile centipede city of Bourkeland has no way to cross Lake Lungoske, so this is the southernmost point where it can escape.
It's not impossible to take a detour, but the road you have to go through is very narrow. You can't avoid Alanhill's missile attack 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 become swollen. Although he still has a runny nose, his body is no longer sore. When Long Ling is a little better, he will resume the update. Hurry up.
