The spaceship sailed away in a grand procession, and Yu Wei sat in his seat, head down, carefully studying the data.
The fact that the rebels chose to launch a night attack instead of a frontal assault indicates that they were not numerous. Although their weapons were inferior to those of the Alliance army, they had the advantage of having orcs, and possibly even superhumans involved.
But what puzzled him most was how the rebels could accurately find the entrance to the underground military base amidst the densely packed buildings; it was simply unbelievable.
However, if there is a mole among them, it would be understandable.
Thinking of this, Yu Wei couldn't help but shudder. Just how many rebel forces had infiltrated the army? Could there be traitors among the high command? How many of his men could he still trust?
"General Yu, this is a topographical analysis map of Jinlai City."
The operator projected the 3D image onto the table in front of Yu Wei. After receiving a signal from Yu Wei, the operator continued, "Jinlai City is the third largest city on the sixteenth planet. It is famous for its abundant production of various rare minerals and has a permanent population of 7.613 million. This does not include unregistered residents without residence permits or identity information."
"How many people has the alliance stationed here?"
Yu Wei frowned. The city's population density was too high, making bombing unsuitable. They had to resort to other methods.
"15,000 personnel, equipped with the most advanced XLH7-31 series warships and aircraft carriers, as well as the latest K-67 series heavy weapons, including but not limited to tanks, missiles, and anti-tank missiles..."
"Such a luxurious family bucket, and it's been beaten to a pulp?" Yu Wei felt a headache coming on. How could they lose such a well-equipped team? Are they just eating rice without using their brains?
"This... must be an accident..."
The operator scratched his head and gave a very, extremely unreasonable explanation.
How is our equipment?
Seeing the operator's hesitant expression, Yu Wei had some unpleasant suspicions.
Sure enough, the operator uttered something that would shock the world: "Considering the high population density in the city, we have 30,000 people, three warships, one tank, and a number of light weapons..."
"hiss……"
Yu Wei pinched his philtrum, trying to keep himself from fainting.
This isn't reinforcement; it's suicide.
"General Yu, we believe in you."
The operator's eyes were firm. Yu Wei was a man who could turn the impossible into the possible, and the legend of him fighting against 20,000 men with only 3,000 men and not being defeated was widely known.
"Hiss..." Yu Wei rolled his eyes and almost fainted again. He said earnestly, "Friend, this is not a matter of belief or not, it is... sigh... never mind, you don't understand."
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Is this forcing him into hand-to-hand combat or bayonet fighting?
He has a strong self-healing ability and won't die, but what about the others? Are we just going to watch them die?
Although war always brings casualties, victory is never achieved by flowing through seas of blood and stepping over mountains of corpses.
"Don't tell me that all the weapons we brought into Lai City fell into the hands of the rebels."
His equipment was already poor; if the family bucket fell into the hands of the rebels, he might as well turn back and go home.
"General Yu, how did you know?"
"Hehe, I figured it out..." Yu Wei didn't even have the strength to faint anymore. He waved his hand weakly to stop the operator from saying anything more: "Don't make a sound, I want to be quiet."
Thirty thousand men, light weapons—it's obvious they're being sent to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Under overwhelming firepower, let alone thirty thousand men, even thirty million wouldn't be enough to be wiped out by a single missile.
Myths are myths precisely because of their legendary and unsurpassable nature; once there are many similar cases, they become simple stories.
If it weren't for the fact that disrupting morale before the battle was a serious crime, Yu Wei would have liked to order a return to base right now.
With such a vast chasm before us, even Jesus couldn't save us. What's the point? Let's just go home and find our own fathers.
"Hmm... General Yu, I think it's necessary for me to tell you this news." The operator swallowed hard, bracing himself for Yu Wei's murderous glare, and said, "Reconnaissance personnel at the front have reported that the rebels are advancing towards Jingyuan City..."
We just received news today that the Alliance has organized a reconnaissance team from the 18th planet to rush to Jinlai City to investigate and monitor the rebels' movements.
"Bring me the topographic map of Jingyuan City and the topographic map of the border area between the two cities."
Yu Wei sat up abruptly from his chair; this was indeed a good opportunity.
Compared to impregnable bunkers, tents are much easier to deal with; a fire or a bomb can easily take them down.
The two cities are connected by rail and road, and most people do not need air travel, so air routes are only for private use. In addition, there are countless small villages scattered in the mountains and plains between the two cities, which, according to satellite imagery, have not yet been attacked.
The rebels have big ambitions. They just took over the Jinlai Armory and now they've set their sights on the Jingjun Factory. Aren't they afraid of getting themselves killed?
However, this is also a good thing, at least so many innocent citizens won't die.
"Have Lin Gang come over."
Yu Wei tapped the table lightly with his index finger, his brows slightly furrowed.
Lin Gang is Lin Gu's cousin. He was recently promoted to lieutenant and is quite capable in all aspects. He is a promising talent.
"I'll give you 10,000 men, a warship, and your choice of weapons. Go to Jinlai City to do the cleanup work and block the rebels' retreat. Can you do that?"
Yu Wei had deep doubts about the abilities of the fair-skinned, slender, and seemingly innocent young man in front of him.
Could it be that the army gave him this rank because of Lin Gu?
"able."
Lin Gang has a baby face that is quite different from the rugged style of the army, and even his voice is childish, making people wonder if he is even an adult.
