September 12th, 8:00 a.m.
The Arctic Alliance's second counterattack was launched on time.
The mountains shook and the earth roared.
The artillery preparation alone lasted a full hour.
Li Wei stood halfway up the mountain, holding a telescope, watching the grand "fireworks" show with great interest.
Countless artillery shells and rockets, trailing flames, tore through the sky and plunged into the gray fog that was as big as a mountain and as vast as the sea.
The flames of the explosion were endless, shattering the thick fog into pieces and surging endlessly, revealing the black land and more wriggling shadows underneath.
She was somewhat surprised to find that the Arctic Alliance's firepower strikes seemed to deliberately avoid the Dragon Tooth Forts in the occupied areas.
This discovery made her even more convinced that the role of these fortresses was far more than just a fire support point.
However, can firepower strikes be effective if they are so limited?
Her concerns were confirmed after the ground forces launched the attack.
At nine o'clock in the morning, thousands of "iron cans" of the Knights Templar served as the vanguard, with regular troops providing fire support.
On a front less than ten kilometers wide, the Arctic Alliance launched an overwhelming offensive.
Unfortunately, there are too many abyss monsters.
The battle line remained at a stalemate.
The Arctic Alliance fought with great effort, but by 10:30 in the morning, the front line had advanced less than one kilometer.
Li Wei, who was standing at the front watching the battle, also changed her expression from the initial excitement and joy of seeing the endless "little sea urchins" to serious silence.
She gritted her teeth, took out the communicator Ma Baoguo gave her from her tactical waist bag, and dialed directly.
As soon as the call was connected, Li Wei spoke anxiously.
"Teacher Ma, are you at the headquarters?"
It was very noisy over there on Ma Baoguo's side, so he didn't answer immediately. After more than ten seconds, he seemed to move to a quiet place.
"I'm here. What's up?"
Li Wei held a telescope in one hand and a communicator in the other.
"Teacher Ma, I think the Arctic Alliance is almost defeated. They can't launch a frontal attack, and they can't penetrate with a pincer attack."
"The heavy armored division that was flanking the left wing was also caught off guard by the 'Little Sea Urchin' flank attack, and suffered almost half its casualties."
She bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and suggested, "Can you talk to Master Lei and let me go up and chop some up?"
"I'm just going to go by myself. Don't let the support troops come with me. It's too much of a hindrance..."
Ma Baoguo pondered for several seconds before realizing who "Master Lei" was...
He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and endured it...
"Are you confident that you can break through?"
Duang! Duang! Duang!
Li Wei slapped the gold star in the middle of the breastplate.
“Absolutely!”
Ma Baoguo: "Okay! Wait for my notification. Don't act on your own before receiving orders!"
Li Wei immediately stood at attention.
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, she no longer had the heart to continue observing the battlefield.
The whole person walked back and forth on the earthen slope at the front of the position, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west, and from time to time he glanced at the communicator in his hand.
More than 20 minutes later, the communicator vibrated and Li Wei answered it immediately.
"What did Mr. Lei say?" she asked bluntly.
Ma Baoguo's somewhat helpless voice came.
"You are told to stay where you are and not to act rashly."
Li Wei was silent for a moment, then exploded.
"No, they're already in such a mess, and you still want me to stay here and wait?"
"A few days ago, everyone was boasting at the meeting, acting like they were all champions, but once they got on stage, they were all just black iron and bronze!"
"I just want to ask, what does Master Lei think? Aren't those who died soldiers from his Arctic Alliance?"
This time, Ma Baoguo was silent for about ten seconds before he said, "You should also be considerate of General Rybnikov... Your status is different, after all. If something goes wrong, the Arctic Alliance will have a hard time explaining it to China."
"Moreover, he himself will also bear huge responsibilities and pressure..."
Li Wei scratched her head in annoyance. It happened again!
The title of genius is so tiring!
"When can I go?" she asked.
"Just be patient and wait, I will try my best to help you."
"Remember, don't act on your own. We are fighting abroad and we represent the image of Chinese soldiers!"
Li Wei reluctantly replied, "Okay, then hurry up."
An hour and a half later, it was twelve noon.
While the battle was raging at the front, lunch had already begun to be distributed at her position.
Li Wei finished the last mouthful of canned meat chowder, stuffed the bread into her mouth, and muttered a complaint.
"Commander-in-Chief Lei is as cowardly as a mouse. If you had followed my instructions, we would have recaptured the lost Dragon Fang Fort long ago!"
"Why did we suffer such heavy losses and drag our feet for four hours?"
Colonel Yan Hua, captain of the first battalion and deputy commander-in-chief of the front line, who was standing next to her, took Li Wei's empty lunch box and echoed her.
"Great idea, General!"
"Hmph!" Li Wei snorted coldly and raised the telescope again.
It happened that on the front battlefield, another group of "iron cans" retreated in disarray, their number reduced by 20% to 30% compared to when they just launched the attack.
"Fuck you."
“Ahem!”
Just as Li Wei cursed, she heard a sharp cough from behind her.
She looked back and saw a beautiful head popping out from the edge of the trench behind her.
Judging from her appearance, she was the beautiful reporter who wanted to interview her at the arena earlier.
"Why are you here?" Li Wei asked subconsciously.
