Chapter 497: What Can Lin Wen Do? (Part 3)
The number of regular troops of the Papal States is about twice that of the regular troops dispatched by the Empire, but they suffered heavy losses in previous battles on the eastern and western fronts and are now less than 1.5 times that of the Empire.
Their level of training and eliteness are far inferior to that of the empire's regular army.
According to the imperial standards, their combat effectiveness can only be regarded as that of local troops, only slightly stronger than the soldiers of Shizhou.
However, they have gathered the world's most advanced weapons, sufficient supplies, experienced military advisory groups, and elite special forces assistance.
There are also a large number of fearless cannon fodder who rush forward to serve as targets.
The joint operations command composed of countries around the world has basically replaced the functions of the Papal States' inefficient general staff.
Under their command, led by advanced Type 80 heavy tanks, accompanied by secondary tanks donated by other countries, and with millions of regular troops as the main force, they attacked the Imperial Army head-on.
The zombie troops (inferior gray men) attacked from both sides, consuming their ammunition and slowing down their pace.
If the imperial army had enough ammunition, they might be able to fight, but now they are short of ammunition and deep in enemy territory, so they can only fight and retreat.
Li Longxing urgently telegraphed the Supreme Council, requesting that every effort be made to supply bullets, artillery shells, fuel, medical supplies and food.
At the same time, he quickly led the front-line troops to retreat to Franzburg.
That was the second fortress occupied by the Empire in the Papal States. It had been in operation for some time and was very strong and had a good terrain. It was backed by the Empire's transportation lines, so there was no need to worry about reinforcements.
If we can retreat there, we will be safe.
The Joint Operations Command was keenly aware of the Empire's plans.
They deduced that the Empire was running low on supplies and was retreating rapidly to seek time to rest and recuperate.
Feng Yinlian, the chief advisor of the Joint Operations Command, quickly noticed the opportunity.
If they could intercept the Imperial Army near the Stan River, they would be able to destroy one-third of the Imperial Army.
Feng Yinlian immediately informed Mo Zhai and changed his combat tactics, concentrating all his forces to hold on to the retreating imperial forces.
The armored forces, zombie forces, and all the giant forces created with the giant technology that the Papal State exchanged for the territory of a state, attacked the Stan River area and cut off the imperial army.
Mo Zhai knew that a huge turning point in the war was about to come, and perhaps this would be the beginning of a series of victories for the Papal States.
He mobilized all his strength to make this happen, placing all his bets on the Battle of the Stan River.
Li Longxing also noticed this and urgently ordered the two major imperial armies to reinforce the Stan River area.
In this way, the fierce battle between the two sides in the Stan River area began.
The battle was extremely fierce from the beginning.
Both sides knew that this was related to the outcome of the battle, so they attacked fiercely with all their might.
Li Longxing issued a death order, requiring them to hold out for ten days at all costs. As long as they waited for the arrival of reinforcements from the First and Second Armies, they would be victorious.
Mo Zhai opened up his production capacity to the fullest, and a steady stream of gray-clothed men and giants rushed towards the battlefield.
The situation gradually turned in favor of the Papal States, which was unfavorable to the Empire.
The soldiers of the empire tried their best to defend, but the gray zombies were endless.
The highly mobile giant troops roamed back and forth on the battlefield, destroying their positions, disintegrating their defenses, and attacking their supply vehicles and tank camps.
The positions were lost one by one, and soon the imperial army lost more than half of its positions and retreated to the area around Fort Ormon.
This is their strongest position.
If we lose this place, the road behind us will be flat and the mission will inevitably fail.
The general and the soldiers had written their wills, ready to defend Fort Ormon to the death.
at this time.
Imperial Front.
front.
Li Longxing had just led the front-line troops to repel the enemy's attack, dealing a heavy blow to the Papal Army that had been entangled with them, thus winning a large space for the retreating troops.
late at night.
Li Longxing was studying the battle situation in the tent. The battle of Fort Omon had already begun. The two sides fought extremely brutally at the first battle. The corpses had flattened the fortress. Both sides suffered heavy losses.
But Li Longxing knew that this was extremely disadvantageous to the empire. The gray zombies were replenished very quickly, and the giant troops and armored troops did not suffer much loss.
The Imperial Army suffered heavy losses.
The Imperial Army's assistance was far slower than that of the enemy. Only two divisions of the army group arrived, and the main force was still on the way.
This is enemy territory after all.
"That old dog Yu Zhongxian, I'm going to chop him to death when I get back!"
Commander Xu Lishan cursed for the hundredth time.
Although there was no special evidence and the gray-clothed man's technology was not particularly advanced, he intuitively felt that it was all Yu Zhongxian's doing.
"Lao Xu, there's no point in cursing here. Let's think about how we can quickly support Fort Omon." Commander Xiang Nanshan said.
"paratrooper?"
"No." Li Longxing shook his head. "It's too little. Besides, I've already provided assistance, airdropping 8,000 paratroopers. But General Cheng called and said to drop ammunition first. Ammunition is the most important."
"Damn it." Xu Lishan cursed again, "The Papal States really don't treat people as human beings. I've never seen a war fought like this."
There was a moment of silence in the tent. Although human life was worthless in today's world, the Empire still had great respect for the regular army soldiers who went to the battlefield and never intended to treat the soldiers as consumables.
They had never expected or imagined that the Papal States would transform soldiers into monsters and blatantly exchange human lives for bullets.
As a result, ammunition consumption increased dramatically in a short period of time, leading to insufficient logistical supplies.
"Your Majesty, I think if we fight two more waves, they will be wiped out." Xu Lishan said for the seventh time.
Li Longxing shook his head: "If we fight two more waves like before, we will run out of ammunition. I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out."
At this moment, a distress telegram from Fort Ormon arrived at the tent.
Li Longxing unfolded the telegram and everyone looked at it. The telegram said that the enemy was attacking day and night and they could not hold on any longer.
"Your Majesty," Xiang Nanshan said anxiously, "I think we should really consider launching a counterattack. Perhaps once they see that we are still capable of fighting, they will stop attacking Fort Omon."
Li Longxing still shook his head. "The enemy is not stupid. Our opponent is not the Papal State. Judging from the sharpness and swiftness of their tactics, they are a bit like Feng Yinlien."
Staff Officer Guo Feng's expression darkened. "If it's him, we'll be in trouble. Once he finds a weakness, he won't let go."
"What should we do then?" Xu Lishan said anxiously, "Doesn't this mean that Fort Omon has no chance?"
"Maybe we can return..."
"No." Li Longxing knew what he meant and denied it directly. "If that happens, we'll be attacked from both sides, which is very dangerous."
"What should we do then?"
"Do we have any other troops that can provide quick support?" Li Longxing said quickly, unfolding all the maps and papers.
Everyone in the tent studied it for a long time and made many adjustments, but they were all inadequate.
At this moment, the second distress telegram arrived.
There was a sense of despair between the lines of the telegram. It said that half of Fort Ormon had been lost and they were fighting street battles with the enemy.
Everyone in the tent was extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, Guo Feng, who had been silently reading the intelligence, said, "Your Majesty! Isn't there a flying robot in Changshan County?"
Li Longxing naturally knew about this matter, but what use was a robot on such a large battlefield?
The firepower of thousands of troops can blow it into pieces in an instant.
Besides, Changshan County is too far away from here. What kind of robot can fly so far?
"Let's give it a try," Guo Feng said. "Perhaps County Chief Lin can bring us another miracle."
"Right, right, right." Xu Lishan suddenly became excited. "That kid has already brought us countless surprises and miracles. One more won't be too many!"
Li Longxing had no choice but to walk out of the tent, find a secluded place and call Lin Wen.
"Ahem, baby girl..."
Click, the phone hung up.
Li Longxing's face turned slightly red, and he continued to hit the second one.
"Don't hang up, I'm not here to rush you."
Li Longxing coughed and recounted the entire story. Finally, he said, "I know it might not be very useful, but it's at least a glimmer of hope. It can let the soldiers know that the Empire's aid has arrived and boost their morale."
After hearing this, Lin Wen sighed inwardly, knowing that the two fortunes he had just received at the weekly settlement would have to be used up again.
Fortunately, the opponent is a biochemical force, otherwise the bad karma would explode.
"Okay." Lin Wen said listlessly.
Li Longxing felt relieved. This son-in-law was really reliable. However, he never gave face to his father-in-law, which made him very distressed.
"That's great. Can you get there within three days?"
"Three days?"
"Well, that might be a little difficult, but there's no point in taking more than seven days."
"No." Lin Wen smiled, "I'll be there soon."
"Varied……"
Crack.
The phone hung up.
Li Longxing looked at the phone, feeling that his mind was stuck.
immediately?
Li Longxing thought.
He said it would be here soon?
——
On the other side, Lin Wen used [A World Away] and teleported directly back to Changshan County.
He jumped out of Qin Luoshuang's window and ran straight to the warehouse.
In the darkness, the huge Unit 2 was parked there quietly.
Lin Wen walked up, took out a handful of paper talismans and pasted them on, then quickly cast a spell.
【Wandering God and Controlling Qi】
A green Qi Refining spell that consumes 10% of your spirit and establishes a connection with a spiritual creature that belongs to you.
When Unit 2 became his puppet, it became his spiritual object.
After establishing contact, he can summon or teleport the spirit to his side or a designated location.
It was through this method that Lin Wen was able to send the talisman paper for the clay figurine into Qin Luoshuang's pocket, making the clay figurine available at any time.
Now, he can send robots over, too.
Of course, that would burst your wallet in an instant.
Lin Wen would naturally not be that stupid.
After the green light of the spell ended, he established a connection with the robot and could already sense its presence in his mind.
Afterwards, Lin Wen used [A World Away] again.
In the light of the spell, Lin Wen regretfully discovered that in the place closest to the front line, Li Linyue's connection with him was greater than that of anyone else.
All right.
I hope the spell is a little off.
Just like usual, if the deviation is not five kilometers, I would be embarrassed to see people.
But the result was even worse than before, Lin Wen fell directly on her bed.
"Who?" The sleeping First Princess opened her eyes hazily, but only saw a figure quickly jumping out of the window and running away.
The royal guards outside moved with a click, but soon stopped.
Everything returned to peace.
Li Linyue smiled, she knew who it was.
——
Lin Wen quickly ran to a hidden place, and with a [Ride the Clouds], he flew to a place several kilometers outside the front-line Fort Omon.
As soon as he landed, Lin Wen smelled a strong smell of blood. In the distance, flames shot up into the sky and black smoke billowed up in the night, clearly visible.
The sound of gunfire and roars continued to be heard, and the earth was shaking.
This is the breath of the battlefield.
Lin Wen had an idea, and with a loud bang, the heavy body of Unit 2 fell on the scorched earth.
Paper figures and talismans fluttered in the wind.
This heavy thing was too much of a burden for it. Lin Wen posted more than 20 pieces, but it only lasted for about ten minutes.
The connection in the mind is broken.
Unit 2 is no longer his spiritual object.
But it doesn't matter.
Since you are here.
Lin Wen smiled, instantly filled his magic power with spells, took the luck he had prepared long ago, and jumped into Unit 2.
Your reinforcements are coming.
Don't be afraid, we will come to your aid from thousands of miles away...
There is Tianxia!
boom!
The robot took off into the air.
