The ancient Shu people, the core command center.
"General, something terrible has happened!" The mantis scout rushed over.
Yi Honglie smiled faintly, "Activate the protective shield!"
Dozens of giant ancient Shu people turned in different directions and pressed the control buttons in their hands.
Sizzle, sizzle!
A green light curtain quickly enveloped the entire Lop Nur.
At the same time, the four beams of light fell on the light screen, creating ripples before disappearing without a trace.
"I thought the Earthlings had some amazing technology?" the shrimp soldier sneered. "Turns out it's just for scaring people, pshaw!"
"Ants are just ants, what powerful weapons can they possibly create?" Shrimp Soldier 2 sneered.
Throughout Lop Nur, nine-tenths of the population mocked the Dragon Kingdom's weapons, while only a very few people frowned slightly and looked solemn.
......
On the other side.
The men of the artillery regiment were like deflated balloons, dejected and utterly lacking in fighting spirit.
"It's just a protective shield, isn't it?" Li Tianyi forced a smile. "Once the energy is used up, it's nothing!"
"The God of War is right, keep bombarding!"
The artillerymen repositioned themselves and locked onto the firing data.
Boom! Boom!
Four beams of light were followed by a dense barrage of shells.
Pop, pop...
This wave of attacks was significantly more impactful than the previous one, and the artillery regiment immediately went on a rampage, as if injected with adrenaline.
The protective shield was shaking violently, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
"Air formation, launch a full-scale attack!" Li Tianyi roared, his gaze icy as he stared at Lop Nur. "I refuse to believe that your energy cores are unlimited!"
Upon receiving the order, the 145th Army, 22nd Army, 68th Army, and Dafengshan Air Force were all mobilized.
"Indiscriminate attack!"
"receive!"
All the fighter jets were attacking from high altitude, while below they were bombarded with dense artillery fire.
Under multiple blows, the protective shield has developed cracks that are constantly widening.
"Well done, keep it up!" Li Tianyi clenched his fist excitedly.
An even more intense attack landed on the protective shield, which could no longer withstand it and shattered like broken mirror.
Subsequent shells landed among the enemy ranks.
"Oh my god, run!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
"Those terrifying Earthlings! I want to go home! I want to go home!"
The cries of agony, the screams of terror, and the sounds of artillery shells never ceased.
Li Tianyi deployed another twenty-three combat robots to join the battle, relentlessly annihilating the enemy...
After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the outer enemy forces were wiped out, leaving only the core area centered on Lop Nur.
"Order: All troops, withdraw immediately!"
The frontline commanders, upon receiving the order, couldn't understand it at all, yet resolutely carried it out.
Brigade Commander Duan Changfeng slammed his helmet on the table and roared, "We could have annihilated the enemy, so why are you making us retreat?"
"Duan the Madman!" Third Division Commander Qiu Ping kicked him, pointing his finger at his nose and cursing, "You don't use your brain for fighting. Do you know how many enemies are hiding in Lop Nur? Do you even know about their firepower deployment and weaponry?"
Duan Changfeng stood ramrod straight, cold sweat pouring down his face. "Commander, I was wrong!"
"Old Duan, go and rest!" Li Tianyi strode over. "Summon all officers of division rank and above for an emergency meeting!"
"Summon them immediately!"
The order was given, and officers from the three main armies rushed to the scene...
"Old Qiu, give me a brief overview of the current situation!" Li Tianyi said.
Qiu Ping pointed to the projected map, "Judging from the map drawn by the scouts, the enemy's main force should be in this area. And, on the left and right flanks, there are likely to be deadly weapons hidden. That's all the intelligence we have."
Dai Yu, commander of the 68th Army, frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and pointed to an inconspicuous spot. "If I were the enemy commander, I would definitely seize this place immediately."
"Tell me in detail!" Li Tianyi said with some concern.
"Look, everyone!" Dai Yu pointed to the surrounding defensive fortifications. "Once one side holds this position, they can cut off the enemy's reinforcements and encircle the vanguard."
Li Tianyi clasped his hands together in front of the map projection, cold sweat pouring down his face. "Luckily, Commander Dai spotted this place! Order: Take Hill 455 at all costs!"
"Yes, sir!" Duan Changfeng, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Division of the 145th Army, stood ramrod straight. "I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"
After he and his men left, Li Tianyi continued, "The 68th Army and the 22nd Army shall advance twenty kilometers and set up camp!"
"Yes, War God Li!" The two army commanders saluted.
Meeting adjourned!
After everyone left the meeting room, Li Tianyi slumped in his chair, feeling physically and mentally exhausted and listless.
Suddenly, a pair of delicate hands landed on her shoulders. "You've been working too hard lately, take a good rest!"
"Xiaoman?" Li Tianyi slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the massage.
......
455 Hill.
A battalion of the Second Brigade is advancing.
Suddenly, countless ancient-tech guns appeared on the mountaintop, firing wildly downwards.
Whoosh!
Ah, wow...
The soldiers in the front row were almost wiped out in one round. Just as the soldiers behind were about to retaliate, an even denser barrage of lasers struck, and they fell in droves.
"These damned alien bastards, I'll fuck your immortals!" Yang Jun, whose ancestral home was in Sichuan, was later transferred to the 145th Army.
"Brothers, those who aren't afraid to die, charge with me!"
The battalion commander led the charge, and the soldiers charged forward under heavy enemy fire.
Boom! Rumble!
The explosions continued, and the First Battalion suffered extremely heavy casualties, with less than half a battalion remaining. Even Yang Jun was grazed in the back by a laser.
Suppressing his pain, he grabbed the broadsword he had brought from Sichuan and Chongqing, shouting, "Damn those Sichuanese! Not a single Sichuanese is afraid of death! Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The entire battalion charged into the enemy's artillery fire and was wiped out.
Looking at the corpses of his comrades, Yang Jun burst into tears. Despite his body being riddled with blood, he lunged at the enemy.
"You scum, let's go!"
boom......
"Ah!" Regimental Commander Hati, his eyes bloodshot, grabbed a heavy machine gun and charged toward Hill 455. "Avenge the First Battalion! Kill!"
Two battalions, along with a reconnaissance company and a garrison company, launched an attack on the enemy.
Hill 455, enemy command.
"General, their firepower is too fierce, and they're fighting like madmen. We can't hold on any longer!" The ancient Shu frontline commander was covered in blood and had lost an arm.
Kuang Tiantong's face was grim. "General Yigu's order is to hold this place for three days. I don't care what methods you use, you have to hold it for me!"
"Yes, General!"
The frontline commander rushed outside and shouted to his men, "Let them up! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
The northwest region suddenly fell silent.
"Stop!" Hati quickly scanned his surroundings. Suddenly, a mantis monster appeared and shouted, "We admire your army's courage. To show our respect, let's have a close-quarters battle until one side is wiped out. Do you dare?"
A battalion commander nudged Hati and whispered, "We've been locked onto by the enemy on the right flank!"
"Then there's no other choice!" Hati pulled off his military cap, glanced back in the direction of his home, and roared, "The land of the Dragon Kingdom will not be occupied by foreign enemies! Brothers, let's show the same spirit our ancestors had when they fought the Japanese devils, and kill them all!"
"kill......"
The two groups clashed, and people kept falling into pools of blood...
The front line, the command post.
"The brothers on Hill 455 are fighting desperately!" Qi Chao grabbed his weapon. "Everyone, follow me to their aid!"
"Brigade Commander, you stay and command, we're going!" said a regimental commander.
"Execute the order!" Qi Chao roared.
"yes!"
The entire Second Brigade charged towards Hill 455...
Meanwhile, the group engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy had suffered two-thirds casualties, but they remained fearless, slaughtering the ancient Shu people and alien scum.
"Regimental Commander!" The Second Battalion Commander, with several gruesome cuts on his body and a deathly pale face, cried out, "The enemy reinforcements are coming again! I'm afraid we'll have a hard time getting through!"
"We have to charge, even if we can't!" Hati slashed down a nearby mad dog with a single blow. "Brothers, charge!"
"Charge!"
Beep beep beep!
The urgent bugle call to charge came from afar, and a large number of their own people appeared at the foot of the mountain.
"The brigade commander has brought reinforcements to support us! Charge!"
"Kill these scum!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The shouts of battle were deafening, greatly impacting the enemy's morale, and they were relentlessly pursued and killed by a regiment of soldiers.
Suddenly, a large number of mantis monsters wielding ancient weapons appeared behind them, frantically blasting fire.
ah......
Countless warriors died under the laser beams, and the survivors immediately huddled together to protect Hati.
Many more lasers shot in from the front.
"You despicable ancient Shu people, I'll f*** your mother!"
"You promised melee combat, but you used laser weapons instead? You bastards, you son of a bitch!"
"Why bother reasoning with scum? Just kill them!"
The remaining group had fewer than a hundred men who could stand, many of them wounded, yet they roared and charged toward the enemy.
Whoosh...
Dense laser beams swept across the battlefield, and charging soldiers fell one after another in pools of blood.
Blood was flowing from Hati's mouth and nose. He clung to the military flag with his last breath.
Just as the enemy was about to behead him, a series of whooshing sounds came from behind.
A volley of bullets landed on them.
"Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers, their eyes already bloodshot, were frantically slaughtering the enemy.
Soon after, Qi Chao rushed to Hati's side, tears welling up in his eyes, "Brother, rest in peace, we will take 455 Hill!"
Hati's body shuddered and he fell backward.
Qi Chao quickly steadied the military flag and shouted, "Plant it on the main peak position!"
"yes!"
The soldiers of the Second Brigade charged towards the enemy with even greater ferocity...
