<=""></> While the NAC was fully attacking the Gru tribe, the imperial commanders on the front line realized that their opportunity had come.
The overwhelming power of rockets is indeed very powerful, but no matter how fierce the firepower is, it cannot be unlimited. The NAC Expeditionary Force only had a few thousand members, and their numerical shortcomings meant that they could not divide their forces to conduct two-front operations at the same time.
However, just as they were preparing to attack the NAC's outpost, bad news came from behind.
At this juncture of resisting foreign enemies, a serious rebellion broke out within the empire. Except for the stadium named the Imperial Capital, almost all territories were ignited with uprisings. Among them, the scale of the uprising was the strongest, led by Donggang Plantation.
Those slaves not only captured the arsenal and executed the plantation managers, but also chopped off the heads of the guards and the emperor's confidants and hung them on the wall!
At the same time, the Federation pushed its mechanized corps to the Gan River, ready to move in the face of the crumbling empire. The two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for several years, and the empire is currently facing its weakest moment in twenty years. The old enemy, the Federation, will naturally not let go of this god-given opportunity.<="l">
They have long coveted the empire's "vast" territory and huge population. If they can annex the empire's territory and include the east of Ganjiang River in their territory, the Federation will undoubtedly become the most powerful force in the entire province!
Faced with internal and external troubles, the Imperial Senate immediately ordered a return to defense.
The two major armies of the empire had no choice but to regretfully give up the opportunity to attack the NAC outpost. They turned their backs on the defeated mutant allies and evacuated from the fortifications they had finally built.
…
On July 1st, more than half a month had passed since the NAC expeditionary force set foot in Hongcheng.
However, it only took them one night for the flag of order to fly over the land of the Gru tribe.
Supported by rockets, the NAC's troops broke through the Gru tribe's defense lines.
At the final moment of the decisive battle, both rockets and mass bombs have been exhausted, but it doesn't matter if there are no supporting weapons at this time.
The battle is decided. Of the total 80,000 mutants, 50,000 died under the cover of incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs. The rest died or fled. Many also fell under the firepower of Aurora-20 air strikes.
The mutant Captain Ten Thousand died in battle.
At that time, he rushed out of the shadows wielding a power hammer, wanting to vent his anger with brute force. However, he was only good at brute force and failed to kill anyone. Then Li Wang, captain of Jiang Chen's personal guard, beheaded him with a short knife.
The elders of the Gru tribe fled into the underground shelter with a group of confidants and a large amount of supplies, and locked the door of No. 10 shelter.
Regarding the mutant leadership's cowardice, Jiang Chen's orders were concise and concise.
Only one word.
"Bury."
Anyway, Jiang Chen had no interest in the technology related to the fev virus.
Whether it is buried or destroyed, there is no difference in the outcome.
And with the size of a mutant, it is absolutely impossible to lie down in a dormant chamber. Even if the refrigerator in the shelter is filled with food, it will be enough for them to eat for about ten years at most.
When food runs out. There are only two endings for them.
starve.
Or die from cannibalism.
No matter what the outcome is, what awaits them is despair and death.
This can also be regarded as punishment for the atrocities they have carried out under the imperial pride for several years.
The soldiers wearing power armor held the mini nuclear bombs collected from the Gru tribe and threw them all into the underground passage. Then Jiang Chen pressed the blast button.
The high temperature even melted the surface of the shelter door, and the fire erupting from the ground was like an erupting volcano, bringing up billowing radioactive dust on the surface.
The shock of the explosion shook the earth, and even the imperial capital dozens of kilometers away to the west of Poyang Lake could clearly feel it.
The 1,000-meter-long passage was completely blown up, destroying the shelter that stored FEV virus data. Buried underground forever.
Amid the cheers of the slaves, NAC soldiers took over the mutant territory.
All 20,000 slaves were liberated, and the Gru tribe's territory was renamed Jinxi Lake Farm. Zoned as NAC economic zone in Hongseong.
All free people can voluntarily join NAC. After registering their identity information, they can obtain household registration, receive nutritional mixture subsidies from NAC, and wait for the next step.
In order to facilitate management, under Jiang Chen's instructions, Wang Zhaowu selected a militia of about 500 people from the villages near the water treatment plant that were the first to join the NAC. Under the leadership of a small number of soldiers from the Third NAC Corps, order was maintained at Jinxi Lake Farm and nutritional mixtures were distributed in an organized manner.
The raw materials of these nutritional mixtures are all ready-made. There are a lot of mutant fruits in the mutant's warehouse, so 20,000 nutritional mixtures are consumed this day. Jiang Chen didn't feel bad at all. Part of the land that had been planted with mutant fruit trees was all given to those slaves by him.
Although they also plant mutant fruits. However, these freedmen who obtained land were obviously much more motivated.
After all, they were working for mutants before, and now they are working for next month's lunch.
…
The tents of the Gru tribe elders have been bulldozed, and the NAC's engineering robots have rebuilt a cement command post on the spot.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was standing in the command post, discussing the next plan with Han Junhua.
"The Empire's First Army is confronting the Federation at the Ganjiang Bridge. Judging from the artillery deployed by both sides, it is likely to develop into a military conflict."
"Are you going to reach out and pick the fruit while our team, the Empire, is taking action? The Federation's plan is very loud. Apart from confrontation, do they have no other actions?" Jiang Chen didn't seem worried, but smiled and said.
"No." Han Junhua shook his head, "They should be waiting for us to finish resting."
"Then while we're beating up the Imperial Army, we're going to cut the Empire's back with a knife?"
Han Junhua nodded, his calm eyes flashing with rationality, "That's right."
"So what's your suggestion?"
"If the marshal plans to include the Federation into the NAC's territory, then no matter how much flesh they cut on the Empire, it will actually have no impact on us." Han Junhua said.
"It makes sense." Jiang Chen raised a smile, and then asked other questions, "What are the trends of the other three legions of the empire?"
"The Imperial Third Army returned to defend the imperial capital, and the Fourth Army eliminated the local rebels while shrinking the defense line. The Second Army advanced into the Donggang Plantation, besieged the rebels occupying the area, and used infantry artillery and mortars. and other heavy weapons. However, due to objective reasons such as the high density of zombies and alien species in the area and the shortage of heavy weapons and ammunition, the siege caused a lot of casualties to the insurgents, but it did not break down their defenses. The insurgents who stayed in the local area communicated through radio Ask us for help.”
After only thinking for two seconds, Jiang Chen issued the combat deployment.
"Accept their request for help and send Aurora-20 air strikes against the Empire's Second Army. We still need them to delay for some time before the next batch of supplies arrives."
"Yes."(.)<=""><=""><="">
