202. Chapter 202, Relics at Sea


Chapter 202, Ruins at Sea

The previous chapter has been revised, and the arrangement of the last paragraph is indeed a bit inappropriate.

The comments were not deleted, but after the content was changed, all the comments were swallowed...

————

Another month has passed, and all the gift points Gu Hang received this month have been invested in the construction of space warriors.

This time, out of the two hundred people selected, five new blood members of the battle group were created.

Seeing this, the Space Marines of Phoenix no longer said a word to the Governor.

There are a total of eight new blood waiting to grow. When they grow up, the number of battle groups will be greater than when they first landed!

The battle brother who was muttering before about why things didn't go so well before now mutters instead:

"Why don't we swear allegiance to the Governor when we land? This way we don't have to waste the three gene seeds left by Schneider and the others..."

"What a waste of time these half a year has been. If we had cooperated directly from the beginning, our new blood might have been able to put on power armor and fight side by side with us..."

……

Gu Hang couldn't hear the private conversations among the Space Marines.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

He is just worried about it now.

Building the Phoenix Chapter was an investment in the future for Gu Hang.

Like this time, after investing more than 1,400 points of gifts, Gu Hang gained three new blood warriors. But if they want to really put it to use, it will be at least half a year later.

It will also take time to grow superhuman organs after the gene seed is implanted.

In other words, in the past two months, with three thousand gifts, there were eight more Space Marines, but it would take at least half a year to a year to take effect.

To be honest, it hurts a bit.

But that's the thing, it always takes time to grow. If you invest early and enjoy it early, if the time is delayed, the Space Marines will mature even later.

What's more, the three thousand points of gifts spent in the past two months not only brought eight new blood groups that were temporarily unused, but also brought more than 330 elite special warriors.

Although they are generally a bit younger, their combat prowess is not weak at all.

Building the special operations brigade itself is also something he has to do, and they will be put to use immediately.

Now that Hu Ke has calculated the address of the spiritual gas field found by the Natural Salvation Society, he must be going to solve the problem.

The reason we didn't take action last month was because the war in the Beiqinggu area was in full swing and the air force couldn't be deployed. Moreover, the main force of Army Group Center has always been located relatively north. If we really send special forces to operate in the southernmost part of the Qinggu subcontinent, it will be difficult to get support if anything happens.

But now, the situation has become much clearer.

The Central Group Army almost annihilated the last large-scale group of 500,000 aberrations gathered in the North Qinggu area, and then they rushed south along the original main road in the Qinggu area, 'liberating' many settlements, and carried out work on population migration.

In the Southern Qinggu area, the alliance's troops did not go into the jungle, but 'liberated' many plantations and settlements along the way. In one month, they almost completed the migration of about three million people.

This is quite a feat.

It is not an easy task to move all the scattered population of the Nan Qinggu area to the north in such a short period of time.

But despite the migration of three million people, the current population in the entire Qinggu area under the rule of the alliance is only about seven million.

According to the last global population statistics compiled by the Alliance, the population of the Qinggu region should total 12 million people.

Although this statistics is relatively old, it can be traced back to the period of the second generation of governors. But there is no way, this is the last valid statistics.

Judging from this data, there should be about five million people scattered in Nanqing Valley.

Of course, this is not realistic in practice.

Based on the current situation in the Nanqing Lake area, it is very difficult for humans to survive without large gathering areas. On the one hand, they are threatened by aberrations, and on the other hand, it is difficult to find a stable source of food.

Of course, there are some hidden small settlements that have not been discovered by Army Group Center, and that is normal. But the combined surviving population of those places should not be as many as five million.

From this perspective, from the era of the second-generation governor to the present, especially since the recent outbreak of the huge wave of aberrations, the total population loss in the entire Qinggu region is probably in the millions. Those who were killed by the aberrations were not only secondary, but more likely died in the turmoil and famine caused by it.

Very distressing.

Of course, it is impossible for the Central Army Group's one-month operations in the Southern Qinggu area to completely relocate all the population. For the remaining hidden settlements, some fleeing refugees, or people who were scattered for various reasons, the army really didn't have time to rummage through the land one by one.

They could only put up a lot of road signs in more conspicuous places. It simply writes some of the alliance's policies and guides them to flee north. In order to avoid illiteracy, there are simple pictures on it.

Along the way, there will also be some alliance military stations, patrol stations and the like. In the future, some militia or patrol teams will be stationed to help those who may still be alive.

Gu Hang hopes to use this method to save more people and return them to the north.

During this period, in addition to doing its own work, Army Group Center also dispatched a team to continuously advance southward.

This team is the outstanding First Quenching Brigade.

Their goal was to point to the southernmost tip of the continent, heading in the direction of the Linghua gas field calculated by Hu Ke.

Of course, their speed was not particularly fast, and Gu Hang did not want to alert the enemy prematurely.

As of now, the location of the First Brigade is still more than 100 kilometers away from the southernmost tip of the mainland.

This is considered to have stepped on a relatively sensitive boundary.

At this time, more than 40 Wind Falcon speed attack boats also set off from Fuxing City's airport.

There is a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers between them and the target location. But at the speed of the Wind Falcon, they could arrive in less than four hours.

At the same time, Gu Hang had also made contact with the Claw Tiger in the sky. After discussing with Brigadier General Yelicia for a period of time, he determined that the frigate staying in the orbit of the Wrath Star could provide orbital strike support.

The Talon Tiger will be ready to provide support later. As long as Gu Xing provides the coordinates, the corresponding blow will fall.

Although the Talon Tiger's firepower is not comparable to that of the Quintet, when it comes to instantaneous firepower delivery, Gu Hang's current army is still incomparable to a serious starship.

As long as the coordinates provided are accurate, one round of firepower from the Talon Tiger is enough to destroy all ground targets.

In fact, the purpose of the more than 40 Wind Falcon fighter jets that had set off earlier was to confirm whether the coordinates calculated by Hu Ke were indeed correct and to avoid calculation errors or any special transfer actions by the enemy during this period.

Gu Hang waited at the headquarters in Fuxing City for about three or four hours before finally receiving a report from the frontline pilot.

They did find a large offshore building near the coordinates calculated by Hu Ke.

In fact, they had arrived at the target location half an hour ago, but they spent a certain amount of time searching the surrounding sea areas.

After all, the location calculated by Hooke would not be completely correct, and a manual field correction would still be needed.

Gu Hang thought for a moment, but still didn't directly request an orbital strike.

The price of an orbital strike is very high. Although Gu Hang does not need to pay the money, if he requests an orbital strike and the results are not outstanding, it will be very difficult for him to report to Ye Lixia. If you want to apply for track support in the future, there may be a lot of wrangling in the process.

Gu Hang didn't really want that situation to happen, so even though he knew there were some risks, he still ordered the Wind Falcon fighter jets to lower their altitude to investigate the place they found that was suspected to be the Linghua Gas Field offshore extraction factory. Is it the target they want to attack?

It would be bad if something went wrong and it was just a relic from the pre-war era.

……

Of course, it is impossible for all of the Wind Falcon speed attack craft flying thousands of meters above the ground to fall.

In the previous operation, the core of the Wind Falcon fighter, the servo skull, was controlled by the enemy. This made the Alliance Air Force gain wisdom. When the general level of pilots is not enough to support their independent control and use of the Wind Falcon, they must try their best to avoid a similar situation from happening again.

Under this premise, keeping distance is the best way.

In fact, there were only three Wind Falcons, descending in altitude. The remaining fighter planes are still hovering at high altitude and staring down. As soon as there is any movement, they will fire immediately to carry out strikes and save their comrades.

However, the three fighter planes did not encounter any danger during their descent, and everything was calm in the rusty-looking offshore building.

It’s as if this place is a pre-war relic.

But they still didn't let down their guard.

Immediately afterwards, three fighter jets landed on this offshore structure, a place with relatively flat terrain. The hatch opened and half of the special forces team walked out.

The three fighter planes carried a total of 45 special elites. They all wore exoskeleton armor and full-coverage tactical helmets. They were at least T3, and there were many elite soldiers at the T2 level.

On a battlefield with the same level of weapons, facing an ordinary army, each of them would be sure to win dozens of kills in a battle.

According to the order, they will conduct a detailed search of the building and stay in contact with the headquarters at all times.

The individual communication equipment they carry is certainly not enough to directly contact the general headquarters four thousand kilometers away, but it is enough if they can contact the Wind Falcon fighter jets in the sky.

The supreme commander of this operation is currently on a fighter plane high in the sky.

That's Martins.

Chapter Master Martins is on a mission again, and so are his four battle brothers. However, they do not need to go directly to the front line to fight this time, or they do not need to go there immediately. It is up to him to decide whether to go there.

He commanded the more than 40 Wind Falcons of the 1st Aviation Squadron of the Alliance Air Force and the more than 200 soldiers of the 10th Special Forces Brigade who came to participate in the battle.

At present, it looks like this place is just an ordinary pre-war maritime building ruins. In the past, it might have been an offshore drilling platform?

Whatever function it once had, it probably has no function now.

At least so far, they haven't found anything unusual.

However, just when I thought of this, something happened down below!

Fierce firepower suddenly came from all directions, and various biological monsters rushed out, launching a fierce attack on the three ships that had not yet finished unloading the soldiers and had no time to ascend, as well as the special soldiers who were leaving the cabin!

Martins looked calm.

The enemy obviously has some kind of biological hiding technology. The scan they just passed at low altitude could not detect the hidden traces of the enemy.

Obviously, the enemy had originally made up their mind to hide and create the illusion that there was no one here; but when the ground troops went down, they knew they could no longer hide, so they simply showed their fangs.

This is a very dangerous situation for the landing soldiers and the three Wind Falcons.

In the grand scheme of things, this doesn't matter. Even if all three planes were lost and all forty-five soldiers died, it would not prevent them from correctly detecting that this was indeed an important enemy base.

If he were to think purely based on cold-blooded thinking and past combat experience, he might abandon the following soldiers and aircraft, directly pass the information back, and call for an orbital strike.

However, now she may need to change her thinking.

He cannot treat these mortal troops below as just 'friendly troops' and just cannon fodder for the Astra Militarum, just like in previous wars. Now, they are in the same group and belong to the alliance regime of Raging Owl Star.

Moreover, those soldiers are all elites, and many of them are people who almost entered the Phoenix and became new blood. He couldn't waste the lives of these soldiers too much.

Not to mention three Wind Falcons.

He knew that although their governor-general's strength was rapidly increasing, his family wealth was not strong enough in general. If three planes were to drop, it would still cause the Governor a lot of pain.

So, he issued a support order.

The Wind Falcon speed attack boat still in the sky, according to the order, launched a round of missiles, lowered its altitude appropriately, and used its cannon to fire rapidly around the besieged friendly forces.

However, their support was ineffective.

When the firepower fell, a huge light curtain enveloped the entire offshore construction platform.

Void shield? !
