Chapter 223: The situation in the Northland, feint attack and containment, I will be the main force!
At 10:30 in the evening, Lin Feng led a group of people and followed the leading soldiers at the door of the apartment to the combat conference room in the air force base.
At this moment, there were not only General Chen who had been waiting for a long time, but also several school-level second-level awakeners. However, after feeling the strength of Lin Feng and others, they all sat upright.
After all, there are more than 30 people in this circle. Except for the ten commanders of the war corps, only the late first level is complete, and the remaining 20 people are all in the late second level.
Especially those led by City Lord Lin, ordinary second-level early awakeners cannot perceive their strength level at all.
When the difference in strength between the two sides exceeds three times or more, if the strong one does not take the initiative to release his aura, the weak one will not be able to accurately sense the opponent's strength.
However, General Chen has obviously reminded the newly promoted second-level commanders present that they need to maintain a low profile and humility in front of the Salvation Army.
This time, the two parties were nominally supporting and cooperating, but the actual situation was that the Federation had no choice but to plead with the latter to come and help.
So even for this notification meeting, General Chen had to come to the door in person to inform him.
As Lin Feng and others took their seats one after another, concentrating on the back row of the huge combat conference room, guards on the left and right sides turned off the lights.
In the darkness, a staff officer turned on the projector, and a high-definition map of the entire federal capital was projected on the screen.
It is clearly marked on it, the location of all the high-level Queen Mothers in the north, as well as the size and distribution range of their insect swarms, etc.
It seems that although the top federal officials are unable to break the situation, they are still quite strong in collecting intelligence information.
The strength is insufficient, but the combat system is still there, and it can calmly handle such a million-scale war.
As long as the intelligence data is accurate, Lin Feng is confident that he can lead his second-level battle group to quickly deal with the lone third-level early mother queens.
In this way, we can not only complete the tasks assigned by the military, but also take advantage of the opportunity to enhance our strength, killing two birds with one stone.
As the current situation of the capital defense battle gradually became clear under the introduction of the staff, Lin Feng began to communicate in a low voice with Zhi Yi, Shen Jie, Liu Yi and others beside him.
No matter whether the top federal officials are willing to admit it or not...
The reality is that the defense plan has completely failed.
This is not that the resistance in the capital city has been wiped out, but that after the Zerg completed the encirclement and blocked the land and air lines, the cost for the federation to provide logistical support to the capital is rising.
In order to provide supplies to the soldiers and civilians defending the city, the Air Force has lost more than half of its transport aircraft, and sneaking and smuggling them over land will be detected and intercepted by the ubiquitous Zerg.
Such large battle losses and consumption caused complaints in the rear safety zone.
Materials that should have been used to rescue a large number of refugees were also wasted in this battle to defend the capital whose symbolic significance was far greater than its actual effect.
However, the boiling public dissatisfaction is not the fundamental reason why all parties dare to oppose it.
The main reason was the constant demands from the front line. At that time, the rear base did not receive the rewards they deserved.
For example, the dawn of victory in the battle to defend the capital, and the live insect trophies promised by the front line to be transported back to the rear.
So after realizing that there is no hope of victory, all parties must jump out of this sinking federal ship in advance, so as not to bury their remaining potential in this losing battle.
It happened that at this time, southern propaganda came with good news. The establishment of Jincheng Base and the Salvation Army gave the major forces in the rear another way out.
That is to personally form your own team of awakeners and return to the coastal frontline to fight.
From now on, we will no longer rely on the Federation and embark on our own independent path.
As the war situation in the north continues to be unfavorable, the only thing left for the top federation is to minimize losses when the defense strategy has failed... , and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, rescued.
Only the more people are saved, the stronger the Federation’s status and voice will be in the post-apocalyptic era.
Especially the hundreds of thousands of trapped soldiers, most of whom have become awakened people and genetic warriors. If we rescue this precious force first, the Federation will not exist in name only.
This is why the top management will seek support and cooperation from the Salvation Army in the south at all costs to ensure the smooth implementation of this breakout rescue plan.
The breakout plan projected on the screen at this moment had actually been formulated a week ago.
The only shortcoming in the arrangement is the southwest direction. The troops responsible for the feint attack and containment must have the strength to kill and drag down the three queen mothers.
Only the Salvation Army led by Lin Feng can do this.
As the staff officer began to explain the operations of the Salvation Army, Lin Feng and others also roughly understood their mission content and target requirements:
According to the observations of frontline soldiers and defenders in the capital According to statistics, there are about four mid-level third-order Queen Mothers currently surrounding the capital, stationed at the four main positions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
As the main force surrounding the capital, the Queen Mother in the mid-term has led her insect swarm to the front line and has been constantly harassing the defenders in the city in the past half month.
Step by step, cannibalizing the human survivors.
In the four remote directions of the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest in the outer circle, there are two to three early-stage third-order mother queens guarding them.
To block the combined efforts of the defenders in the city to break through.
Because to the northwest of the federal capital, there are plateau hills with an altitude of more than a thousand meters. Not only is the soil there short of water and dry and hard, but the environment is also extremely barren.
For thousands of miles around, there is only a shallow layer of grass that can be used for grazing horses and sheep, and beyond that there is only a vast expanse of desert.
So the Zerg on the west and north sides are concentrated, and their control over the territory and the development scale of the insect group are weaker than those on the southeast side.
So the northwest became the best direction for the capital defenders to break out.
But this is a breakout and migration of dozens or millions of people. Even if the required vehicles and fuel are sufficient, it will take at least more than a day for them all to escape and evacuate.
The close connection between the Zerg Queens will definitely inform them of the situation and come to support them when the general attack breaks out.
After the Queen Mother emerges from the surface, she can directly control the entire insect swarm, rush out, and quickly form a new encirclement and interception at a speed of ten kilometers per hour.
And outside the encirclement, the strength of the troops responsible for the response can barely hold down the three early queens. If coupled with the strong strength of the internal defenders, the chance of success in choosing one direction to concentrate on breaking out is not low. ...
But first, there must be an elite force responsible for containing several Queen Mothers coming to support from the southwest.
Based on the time span of this breakout mission, at least three or more Mother Queens will be able to come, and even the third-order mid-level Queen Mother near the capital may break out of the ground just to bite them. Evacuating defenders.
So the task assigned to the Salvation Army is very difficult.
After the staff introduction, General Chen said with a solemn expression:
"Actually, all we have to do is hold it back. Judging from City Lord Lin's crushing battle in the western district of Wucheng, this shouldn't be a problem, right? "
"If it's really troublesome, you can apply for nuclear weapons support, or you can hold it off for a long time. Make sure the soldiers in the capital are withdrawn first, and then find a way to confront the Zerg. "
In During the introduction by the staff, Lin Feng was also discussing the feasibility of this task with his team members.
Zhi Yi nodded silently, Shen Jie raised his hands in approval, and finally Liu Yi and several other group leaders believed that the Salvation Army should take the lead in attacking and turn the feint diversionary operation into the main battlefield . They had to kill a high-level Queen Mother in the encirclement before the breakout operation began, in order to attract the attention of the other Queen Mothers.
In this way, the fire of war can be burned to the southwest.
Lin Feng also thinks it makes sense. After all, the real purpose of their coming is to continue hunting the high-level Queen Mother.
The so-called support and containment have side effects.
Hearing General Chen’s inquiry at this moment, Lin Feng agreed directly without thinking too much:
"According to your breakout plan, the operation will only start tomorrow afternoon. I can guarantee that the several third-order early queen queens in the southwest will not rush to the northwest. But in addition, I have another request... ..."
General Chen was temporarily relieved. After all, if he wanted to stop the three queens, he would have to dispatch at least three reinforced divisions and the entire group army of 70,000 to 80,000 troops. At the same time, 10% of them would have to be The Awakener.
And the number of second-order awakened ones must not be less than fifty, otherwise the second-order insect swarm under the Queen Mother can instantly tear apart the human blocking front with a wave of mass charge.
The remaining troops currently available to the Federation cannot support a two-front battle.
In the northwest direction alone, the deployment of troops to cope with the internal breakout of the capital's defenders was already stretched thin, so the Salvation Army was needed to intercept the Zerg Mother Queen who came to support from the southwest.
Hearing that Lin Feng had other conditions, General Chen nodded and asked:
"City Lord Lin wants us to send ordinary troops to provide fire support? To suppress the insect tide's offensive?"
After all, the Salvation Army brought by Lin Feng only has a total of more than 280 people. Even if the overall strength can directly crush thousands of troops...
But after all, the disadvantage of numbers lies there. , The scarcity of manpower also means that they can only perform straightforward beheading missions.
There is no way to take care of the swarms of insects attacking from all directions.
The territory of an early-stage third-level mother queen covers hundreds of square kilometers. If you want to stop the insect tide on the edge of the ten-kilometer-long territory, you need to arrange at least tens of thousands of soldiers to detect the movements of the insect tribe in time.
So General Chen subconsciously believed that Lin Feng wanted the federal military to send a large number of ordinary soldiers to provide battlefield surveillance and fire support.
However, after the other party heard General Chen's questioning, he showed a look of disdain and said with a smile:
"There is no need for reinforcements. According to the cooperation we have agreed upon before As a matter of fact, all the Zerg killed by the Salvation Army and all biological materials collected on the battlefield belong to us."
"And what I want to say is, since we need to feign attacks to contain them. , it is better to attract all the Queen Mother’s attention to the southwest.”
As he spoke, Lin Feng slowly raised his hand and pointed at the map projection on the screen:
"Early tomorrow morning, we will take action and go to the outermost edge of the southwest encirclement to kill the third-order early-stage mother queen. It will be completed by about noon!”
“By then, even the third-order mid-level Mother Queen stationed due south will be affected and send swarms of insects to test our Salvation Army...”
“The so-called feint attack and containment will then become the real main battlefield of this breakout plan, and the defenders trapped in the capital city will be able to successfully break out from the northwest.”
"In order to disguise it more closely, I hope that everyone in the Federation can send multiple troops of a thousand people to carry out uninterrupted raids day and night around all directions of the encirclement, so that the Queen Mother can look forward and backward after the war begins, and delay time."
"Of course, the Zerg Mother Queen's main energy will definitely be placed in the southwest where the Salvation Army is."
"If you can still contact the defenders in the city, you can inform them and send out a powerful Our team is also breaking through in the southwest, cooperating with us inside and outside to confuse these Queen Mothers, making them fully convinced that the defenders in the city will break out in the southwest..."
After finishing speaking, Lin Feng Looking at the stunned federal military in the conference room, he continued:
“Believe me, just a feint of harassment will definitely not be able to contain it.”
“High-level Queen Mother They are not fools, on the contrary, they are emotionless combat machines.”
"Instead of going according to your plan, when several female queens in the southwest will all be dispatched, making the containment task extremely difficult, it is better to follow my instructions and directly turn the southwest entrance into the main battlefield."
“As long as a high-level mother queen can be killed, even if the Zerg know it is a trap, they will jump in without hesitation. After all, a third-level awakener, plus a high-level mother queen’s insect swarm, is enough Let those early queens who can only drink soup make wise choices."
"What can attract them is nothing more than the benefits of war."
"As long as the intensity of the southwest is increased. , the Zerg Mother Queen will be like a gambler, investing in it one after another."
After listening to Lin Feng's analysis and suggestions, General Chen and several school-level second-level awakeners responsible for the breakout,< br>
We were all deeply shocked.
It wasn't until a moment later that one of the mid-level second-level awakened colonels stood up and asked:
"If we can follow this plan, that would be great. But the only problem is Yes, City Master Lin, are you sure that you can kill a high-level Queen Mother in just one morning?”
“We know City Master Lin’s strength...”
“But we have to. I know that the high-level Queen Mother on the surface is completely different from the Queen Mother hidden underground!”
"In the former case, you only need to send a fearless commando team carrying a nuclear bomb to seriously injure it. Even if the nuclear bomb yield is large enough, it can be completely killed."
"But The latter has to step into the underground insect nest, fight into the mother nest hundreds of meters underground, and fight the insect mother queen on her territory."
"What you need to face is the entire insect race! "
"And hundreds of second-order tiger spine insects!"
This second-order mid-level awakener spoke the common sentiment of the federal military present.
Of course they knew that doing so would be more perfect than the original breakout plan and would be able to rescue enough survivors to ensure a complete success of the breakout.
But ideals and reality are different.
In reality, no organization or individual can guarantee the successful killing of the high-level Queen Mother in the underground insect nest.
Even when Lin Feng completed the beheading mission, he relied on the explosion of a nuclear bomb to force the Empress out of the ground. With the cooperation of the Guards Group and Chi Yi, he finally eliminated the Empress of Jiangbei.
If we take the lead in attacking now, the Zerg Mother Queen will obviously not leave the ground, break out of the ground, and move to intercept before confirming the defenders in the encirclement and breaking through.
In the eyes of the federal military, Lin Feng's speech seemed more like arrogant words.
They were even more worried that because of Lin Feng's sudden show of force, the elite force of the Salvation Army would be buried in the underground insect nest in vain.
This resulted in the original breakout plan falling short.
So after everyone looked at each other, they decided to let the most powerful colonel stand up and speak out to warn them.
But now Lin Feng, sitting in the back row, just shrugged:
"Don't worry, from the time I formed the second-order legion, it was just for this day! I can ignore the terrain factors and lead the second-order legion deep into the insect nest! Kill the Queen Mother!"
As he spoke, Lin Feng began Release the powerful aura of a third-level awakened person:
"My soldiers will become the most powerful troops in this end of the world, they are just second-level insect swarms..."
>Lin Feng stood up slowly, looked at the dozen or so senior federal military officials present, and said word by word:
"I will lead them..."
"Kill as many as you come!"
