Chapter 501: Long-Distance Advance (1)

Ninth Defense Zone Military Headquarters.

When Yingzhou arrived at the office with Horus, he found that Lu Zhenda had also just arrived; seeing this, Yingzhou went straight to the point.

"Lao Lu, our primary task now is to prioritize advancing toward the territory near the Beast Race, coordinate with the Fourth Defense Zone, and recover all the territory between us!"

Lu Zhenda had just sat down in his chair when he heard this statement from Yingzhou; he suddenly had a realization and spoke up.

"That is a major undertaking; we need to consider the issues of material supplies and the deployment of transport aircraft..."

As he spoke, Lu Zhenda took out a blank sheet of paper and began to list the supplies that needed to be prepared.

"Horus, please help me go to the database to find the latest Ninth Defense Zone supply list."

While writing furiously, Lu Zhenda said this to Horus, who was beside him.

Horus nodded and headed to the adjacent data room to retrieve the supply list.

Seeing Lu Zhenda start to make the list, Yingzhou suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Why do we rarely use our Human Alliance fighter jets? I have almost never seen air support."

Lu Zhenda's hand, which was quickly writing the list, paused for a moment, then he continued writing and said to Yingzhou without raising his head.

"Because the production technology for manufacturing fighter jets is all in the First Defense Zone. As the first defense zone to lose contact, its fall made the holding tasks of other defense zones much more difficult. At that time, the First Defense Zone only gave us 50 Night Falcon Fighters, and before they could hand over the maintenance and care for the Night Falcon Fighters to us, they lost contact."

To avoid excessive wear and tear on the Night Falcon Fighters, they generally do not participate in combat unless the situation is particularly urgent.

Even so, there are now only 37 Hawk Falcon Fighters left in the Ninth Defense Zone."

After hearing Lu Zhenda's words, Yingzhou remembered that since becoming the Military District Chief, he had never used air support, having mostly used only transport aircraft.

"Lao Lu, no need to worry now; we will soon organize a capable airborne unit and fighter jets!"

Hearing Yingzhou say this, Lu Zhenda was stunned; the movement of his hand stopped, and recalling Yingzhou's ability, he suddenly said with some excitement.

"Are you saying that you can now even..."

"As for that, we will know in a while, but it does not affect us preparing for combat work in advance."

Yingzhou sat on the sofa to the side, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the sofa armrest, the solid wood surface colliding to produce a rhythmic, light sound.

"Fine, then I will go resolve the fighter jet matter first."

Yingzhou stood up immediately, said a word to Lu Zhenda, and then left.

Soon, Horus returned to the office with the latest Ninth Defense Zone supply list; rather than a list, it was more like a thin book.

"Mr. Lu, Ninth Defense Zone supply reserve list."

Horus handed the supply reserve list to Lu Zhenda, and seeing that Yingzhou had already left, he mentioned it casually.

"Where is my father?"

"He had something to do and left early; we still have quite a few things to be busy with today."

22nd Corps Command Camp.

Xiao Shengfeng was deploying tasks for various positions to the communications soldier with an excited look on his face.

"It is finally our turn to advance forward; look at the 46th Legion, how much further have their positions advanced than ours? If it weren't for the order not to advance, I would have wanted to order an advance myself!"

After letting the communications soldier distribute his orders to the various positions, Xiao Shengfeng felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Ever since the Emperor took charge of all affairs in the Ninth Defense Zone, the material supplies for every legion have been very sufficient, and many legions, under the guidance of the Emperor, have advanced their positions quite a bit; it is also said that their weapons and equipment have been replaced with many new gadgets.

"During this period, the Zerg on the opposite side have been quite quiet, basically without much movement."

As he spoke, Xiao Shengfeng walked out of his camp and saw his Deputy Regiment Commander, Kun Shanmen, unloading material supplies transported by the Military District from a transport aircraft with several soldiers.

"Old Kun, should this be the last batch of material supplies for today?"

Xiao Shengfeng walked up to Kun Shanmen, squatted down to check the transported supplies, and spoke to Kun Shanmen.

"I just asked the pilot; he said there are still tasks to fly to several other legions near us, and it seems there are also support troops landing for our legion."

Upon hearing about support troops, Xiao Shengfeng immediately showed an interested look on his face.

"I have long heard that the Emperor can summon quite a few soldiers, but I have never seen it with my own eyes; I wonder if I can see those legendary legions today."

After Kun Shanmen unloaded a supply crate, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth; he shook his head slightly and said to Xiao Shengfeng.

"Old Xiao, don't think too much. The Military District began increasing material supplies to us at noon two days ago and also issued combat instructions to us. They want us to advance our positions straight to the Beast Race's positions; you have to know, this is a distance of nearly 5000km.

This is not as simple as advancing a front line; the problems we need to face include material supplies, and whether an overextended front line will let the Zerg seize the opportunity to cut off our rear? This can accurately be called an expedition."

Xiao Shengfeng nodded in agreement and replied in a somewhat agitated tone.

"An expedition? That's right! It is an expedition! Those Alien Races invaded our home, killed and enslaved our compatriots; if it weren't for the Emperor, we might have been finished already! Only by driving them completely out of our home can those dead compatriots find peace."

Seeing this, Kun Shanmen said nothing more; after all, what Xiao Shengfeng said was not wrong, and he only needed to do his own part to ensure this journey of counterattacking the Alien Races went smoothly.

Just then, Kun Shanmen felt a Spiritual Power Fluctuation in the distant sky; seemingly associating it with something, he immediately nudged the agitated Xiao Shengfeng with his elbow and said in a solemn tone.

"It should be the troops coming to help us; let's go meet the friendly forces and get acquainted."

"Hmm, let's do as you say."

Xiao Shengfeng and Kun Shanmen took several soldiers who had just finished unloading supplies to the side and saw over a dozen transport aircraft landing slowly; from the transport aircraft stepped down soldiers wearing khaki uniforms with bulletproof armor worn over them.

The leading officer, upon seeing the attire of Xiao Shengfeng and Kun Shanmen, walked up to the two with a serious face and spoke in a stern tone.

"Reserve Army 2nd Regiment Commander—Fang Mingdan, ordered to assist you in this long-distance advance."

Hearing it was the Reserve Army, Xiao Shengfeng asked Fang Mingdan directly and bluntly.

"Cough cough, Commander Fang, is it just your Reserve Army 2nd Regiment coming this time?"

"No, we should be the first legion to arrive; the Vitrian Dragoons will also come here to provide support."
