Chapter 529
In the combat command center, General Luo looked at the loss and casualty figures reported by all parties. The cigarette butt he was holding had burned to his fingers inadvertently. He slowly brought it to his mouth and took a puff, then looked at the dozen fuzzy figures affected by the scarlet in the wartime holographic frequency band and said.
"Regardless of what the Phoenix Society is doing, since South Tianmen has positioned it here, it shows that the direction of our transfer is already clear."
"Today the 13th Brigade successfully broke through from Raven Pass. Including the overall march, it was less than 30 miles in total. According to this progress, even if there is support, it will take at least 5 to 7 days to transfer all trains to the east line track. Everyone... what do you think?"
General Zeng Weiguo of the 22nd Brigade said: "Today's encirclement and suppression were more fierce than yesterday. If it is at this intensity, I am afraid that our column will be completely scattered in less than two days. It is almost impossible to gather such a huge marching team again."
He looked at the main officers of several other combat units and said coldly: "I still have that proposal, strengthen the march at night, and take the initiative to disrupt this so-called 'law'."
"Your proposal didn't work before, and it won't work even more after such a big loss today." General Li Sheng directly refused. He pushed his glasses and analyzed calmly: "The so-called one drum, then decline, then exhaust. Our big charge 9 days ago failed. Now step-by-step is considered the strategy with the least loss and the longest advancement distance. Because of the scarlet problem, the replenishment of logistics simply cannot flow smoothly. Every set of full-coverage power armor is a treasure, and semi-coverage power armor can only stay in the carriage. If the carriage cracks a seam, more than half will die..."
"Not to mention that the speed of track laying has also reached the limit. In this situation, forced night marching is no different from playing with fire." He looked at the holographic light screen of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Know that it is us who need to rest, the monsters don't need it..."
"Gentlemen, please allow me to express some simple views."
At this time, a holographic light and shadow voice in the distance spoke coldly. There were three or four shadows in that light screen, and their faces were all European. The leader was not tall but had a handsome face and sharp eyes, with short inch hair, giving people the feeling of often maintaining a smile.
This person's name is Edgar Xiao En. He was once an ace in the Marine Corps. After the Apocalypse Day, he quickly pulled up a team of saviors and snatched a cross-Eurasian large train from the doomsday thugs and transformed it into a doomsday train. In the process of escaping the Star Abyss, he developed and merged all the way, becoming a super giant "orbital city" with a length of more than 12 kilometers and accommodating nearly 90,000 people. He followed the European Storm Alliance and fell into the current predicament after merging with the Dawn Center.
"Captain Xiao En, please speak." General Luo directly signaled him to speak.
"I have some different views on the judgment of the information just now."
Xiao En's voice was peaceful, but his speed was extremely fast: "First of all, I don't think the Phoenix Society sent group army-level support. This is likely just a point-to-point fire from orbit. Of course, being able to be so precise and timely, we cannot rule out the possibility that the polar region has learned our coordinates and even understands our battle situation."
General Luo nodded: "Yes, there is indeed this possibility."
"In addition, after these days of action, we have had to believe that the frequency-style harassment of the scarlet monster tide is to hinder our march and transfer. And I think the ultimate reason is very close to the delay speculation proposed by the Infinite 4 days ago."
Everyone's expression changed slightly when they heard this, and their eyes looked at the direction of the Infinite's holographic light screen. Chen Sixuan listened quietly to the discussion of the crowd without speaking for the first time.
"Using the monster tide to delay our transfer, and then waiting for that world-class disaster to come out from the ground again to surround us?" Zeng Weiguo's expression was solemn: "I am not disapproving of this speculation. Two months ago, our Dawn Center and the North American United Front gathered main forces. Marshal Li Heping sat in command in person, investing a total of more than three columns, 9 Iron Guard brigades, and four 'Dragon Hack' Imperial Engine mechas of the Emperor Project to fight around the inside and outside of the canyon for two days and nights. The commander used South Tianmen to fire 13 shots in a row, and ultimately did not solve that ghost thing. After the main force and us lost contact, all the observation intelligence obtained by our reconnaissance team was that the monster was chasing the Dawn Center to the south..."
"So General Zeng is more inclined to believe that these monsters are mobilized by S-class creatures, rather than that world-class one?" General Li Sheng said at this time.
"At present, the 'Black Disk' was killed today, and the monster tide was defeated. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
Li Sheng nodded slightly, did not express his opinion, but continued to look at Xiao En in that direction.
After the two finished speaking, Xiao En continued: "Actually, we have made many phenomenon observations after fighting with multiple S-class creatures. The fluctuation threshold of the soul-oscillation value of S-class creatures is very large, especially the mother nest-level creatures like 【Black Disk】. But even so, the range they can cover is also limited."
He turned his head and said: "Marcus~"
The team member named Marcus immediately threw out a piece of data, which was some intelligence they obtained from the fleet supporting various regional battlefields.
"Except for the observation and collection of anomalies by the Phoenix Society, most of what we encountered were unrecorded weird creatures. So we Utopia built a set of internal systems to identify and collect monsters, mainly from appearance, soul-oscillation value range, and judgment of possible damage, etc. Of course, we will all give some nicknames ourselves. For example, Red Rock Canyon, the bat-like flying anomalies thrown down from the sky by the Black Disk, our Jenny named this monster 'Witch Bat'. Then in the h area of the Black Stone Plain, besides scarlet zombies, what flew down from the sky was a four-winged chest-eel monster with an average wingspan of 15-18 meters. It was pure black like asphalt, and the suction cup was not only disgusting but also could spray laser lasers, which caused us a lot of trouble. The 367th Regiment of the 13th Brigade should have a lot of say."
"Of course, there is only one point in saying so much." Xiao En enlarged the holographic screen. On it was a large terrain sand table. The entire train track main force was windingly divided into four areas, from Red Rock Canyon to Hemlock Basin. The furthest 13th Brigade's several heavy mechanical regiments and tank mecha battalions stationed at Raven Pass were more than 150 kilometers away from the Sky Dome train side. The marching team of millions of people was forced to use a long snake formation in such a long depth.
Although helpless, the thick-armored and sharp-armored train line is considered the best choice. After all, the train cannot be folded. Millions of people are crowded on these doomsday trains. In this scarlet, this is their only survival shelter.
"From the Black Stone Plain Fossil Forest h area to the Hemlock Basin section, more than 16 different types of anomalies appeared, but the most special is here." Xiao En pointed: "This position in g area section 3, I have already received feedback from multiple fleets. The pressure of the monster tide began to become smaller from this section. No, it shouldn't be said to be smaller, but from the original countless types, it began to become only 'Witch Bats' from the sky or some insects thrown down from the sky, and the corpse tide on the ground was significantly reduced, and other monsters were the same. This transition is very strange in my opinion."
"However, if you draw an arc with the area where the Black Disk fell as the center radius..."
He drew an arc on the holographic blueprint with his finger. Many people's eyes focused slightly at this moment, because within this range, the types of monster tides and impact areas clearly showed different characteristics.
"The influence area of the Black Disk is limited. Although it is moving, it seems that the 'law' harassment in other areas is not necessarily this monster." General Li Sheng said in a deep voice at this time.
"In this way, is there a second S-class?" General Zeng Weiguo opened his mouth immediately.
"His meaning is very clear." At this time, the Infinite Alliance side, which had been silent, spoke. It was Jian Xuwei beside Chen Sixuan. She pointed to the second half of the sand table: "Coming out of the Colorado Grand Canyon, all the ranges here are attacking at the same time. This shows that either there are at least 4 to 5 S-classes surrounding us and launching monster tide harassment on us with some strange 'law' when we march during the day, or, including the 'Black Disk', all anomalies are listening to unified dispatch."
"Yes, we all have this view." Chen Sixuan also said at this time: "Logically speaking, these scarlet monsters will be more crazy in the dark night, but the tide appeared during the day. This is the first problem."
"After we successfully broke through from the canyon, those endless monster tides suddenly became regular harassment. This is the second problem." Jiang Yun also added.
"And the third problem." Shi Diyuan, wearing battle armor, hugged his chest with both hands, and his voice was cold in the holographic screen: "We rest at night, they also rest. As long as we start marching, the monster tide will come immediately, simply grass the egg!"
General Li Sheng pondered slightly: "It's like figuring out our movements and deliberately teasing us."
"But I don't understand." General Zeng Weiguo looked puzzled. He looked at the direction of the Infinite Alliance and Xiao En, and said: "If that world-class one is still on the North American continent, why not come out directly and destroy us all? Could it be that monsters have started to play military tactics?"
General Luo lit a cigarette again. In the combat room, smoke rose from his vicissitudes and wrinkled face. He squinted at the large combat screen and said slowly:
"Discipline, restraint, when these adjectives appear on these monsters, from the perspective of the Tower People's civilization, this top-level instruction must have strategic intent."
After speaking, he nodded: "The meaning of the Infinite Alliance and Utopia is very simple. As long as I don't move, they will not attack. And as long as we start marching, the monster tide will not stop. Because of this reason, it will not appear after dark. That is not the habit of anomalies, but our 'habit'. These monsters are just dragging us... they..."
