Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1824 1825 Temporary Plan

"Boom!" A cloud of black smoke rose from the horizon. The officer of the Lions Empire put down the telescope in front of his face and proudly handed it to the adjutant beside him: "Rebel empire? The Tang Empire hasn't arrived yet! I want to see how long these traitors can last!"

As he spoke, another explosion was heard in the distance, black smoke rose into the sky, and a column of countless soldiers from the Lions Empire nearby had begun to crawl forward.

They were ordered to attack Bunas, which had surrendered to the Tang Empire, and wipe out those bastards who betrayed the empire.

These soldiers of the Lions Empire might be a little timid when facing the army of the Tang Empire, but they are not afraid at all when asked to fight the city guards.

In fact, there are too many people in each country. The city guards are probably considered armed police, and their combat effectiveness is somewhat weaker than that of field troops. Therefore, if regular troops are used to attack the city guards, the outcome can be almost determined before the battle begins.

As shells from the Lions Empire's heavy artillery exploded one after another on the horizon, the prelude to this offensive had been launched.

Dense groups of Lions Empire soldiers rushed to the distant defense line, and scattered tanks with rolling tracks could be seen in the crowd.

No matter from which aspect, the infantry-tank coordination of the Lions Empire is much more sophisticated than the so-called infantry-tank coordination of some African countries. After the formation was deployed, the momentum of the attack was immediately revealed.

"For His Majesty the Emperor!" The leader of the Lions Empire waved his arms to encourage the attacking soldiers. The soldiers who were staggering forward in the field also shouted inspiringly: "Long live the Empire!"

The Lions City Guards deployed outside Yucheng had just surrendered to the Tang Empire, and they hadn't even had time to change their equipment. They just tied a red armband on their arms to indicate that they had changed their flags.

Of course, these troops are still equipped with the equipment of the Lions Empire, using the standard rifles of the Lions Empire, wearing the military uniforms of the Lions Empire, and wearing their helmets. At first glance, you would think they are still soldiers of the Lions Empire.

At this moment, the city guards of the Lions Empire have revolted. They no longer fight for the Lions Empire, but instead they fight for the Tang Empire.

But sometimes, combat effectiveness cannot be changed by subjective will: although the Tang Empire was invincible, the combat effectiveness of the city guards of other countries that had just surrendered was not guaranteed.

So when dozens of artillery shells fell and the entire battlefield was filled with thick smoke, the soldiers of the Lions Empire City Guards who were originally stationed in Yucheng were shaken.

Many soldiers dropped their weapons and fled, and some took their weapons with them. The hastily assembled defense line collapsed in an instant, and the Battle of Jade City turned into a farce in which the Lions Empire troops attacked and the Jade City defenders were defeated.

"It collapsed already? It's so vulnerable!" After seeing his army break through the defense line of the Yucheng defenders, the general of the Lions Empire snorted with disdain.

At this moment, he was very proud, because he had completed the first task given to him by Emperor Lions II. Taking over Yucheng meant that he might be promoted to a higher position and become another mainstay of the empire in the midst of turmoil.

"General! Yucheng's troops are retreating. It might be a bit troublesome to let them hide in the city and fight with us in the streets." The officer under his command reminded him.

Ryans' general nodded and gave an order: "Order the troops to hold on to the enemy and don't let them organize an effective attack in the city."

"Yes!" The subordinate immediately agreed, and then went to convey his order. The sound of artillery on the battlefield gradually stopped, and the victory of the Lions Empire seemed to be certain.

In just one day, the defense line outside Jade City was breached by the troops of the Lions Empire, and then both sides entered the city.

Immediately afterwards, the defenders of Yucheng withdrew from the city and retreated along the road towards Bunas Port. They retreated very quickly, after all, this place had the best railway and road system in the East Continent.

The attacking Lions Empire troops were not aggressive. After occupying Yucheng, they did not rush to pursue, but celebrated in Yucheng for two days.

……

Tiger had already headed south at this moment, and chose to set up his headquarters in Hot Wind Port, which was further south. The conditions here were obviously better than those in Everwinter Port.

In fact, he was going to Osa. Unfortunately, it had only been occupied for a short time, so the security environment was poor, and the communication facilities were not intact, so it was temporarily impossible to place the headquarters.

Tiger got out of the car with a tired face, because he really didn't get a good rest in the past few days. The situation changed too quickly, and he was very cautious in everything and always had to deal with emergencies personally, so he didn't get a good sleep.

"Long live the emperor!" The senior generals of the Tang army standing on both sides of the car door stood at attention and saluted. Tiger grabbed the gorgeous marshal's scepter in his hand and shook it gently, which was considered a return salute.

He was wearing a neat military uniform covered with various medals. Officials of all levels were standing densely around him for several hundred meters, but most of them were only qualified to watch from afar.

The photographers holding their cameras kept pressing the shutter button. Because of security concerns, everyone could only use the new cameras provided by the relevant departments of the Tang Empire. There was no other way. If people were to use the old explosive magnesium lamp to take pictures, it might cause a serious incident.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, the Imperial Marshal set his eyes on the air force liaison officer in blue uniform in the crowd.

He walked up to the other person, ignoring the enthusiastic applause from the crowd in the distance, and asked directly: "How is the situation? We have taken enough risks this time."

For him as the commander-in-chief, this action plan was indeed too hasty and too risky.

Because no one could have predicted that the Tang Empire would have such a great impact on the entire Lions and parts of the Susas Empire, the Tang Empire's General Staff did not overly optimistically formulate any exaggerated plans for incorporation. As a result, such a thing really happened, and everyone was caught off guard: No one expected that the Beiling and Bunas regions would actually surrender, and surrender so early.

In order to prevent these places from being repeatedly ravaged, the Tang army's front-line command system immediately started to operate quickly. While verifying the accuracy of the news, it began to work with the intelligence department to formulate a complete action plan.

Finally, the entire action plan includes three very exaggerated parts: the first part is the Susas area support plan. This plan is relatively feasible, and the action includes using paratroopers to control some areas and support the surrendered Beiling.

The second action plan was also reasonable, which was to immediately dispatch the naval fleet to reinforce the Bunas area and provide support and cover.

What made Marshal Tiger nervous was the third plan: the army urgently dispatched a division of troops, including some tanks and armored vehicles, and the Air Force mobilized various types of transport aircraft to transport them urgently to the airport in the Bunas area.

This plan was extremely bold in every aspect: first of all, the situation in Bunas and Yucheng was very unclear, and sending so many transport planes to transport soldiers there was a risk in itself.

Secondly, the conditions of those field airports were unclear. It was hard to determine whether large transport planes had the conditions to land, and whether the transport planes that had landed had the conditions to refuel and return. If things went wrong, the Tang Empire might lose hundreds of expensive transport planes in one operation.

Finally, sending tens of thousands of people to unfamiliar areas to immediately engage in combat is also an extreme risk: these people will not have any air reinforcements in a short period of time, and they lack heavy firepower. The early battle will definitely be very difficult, which is a test for the entire army.

"Marshal! Just confirmed news, the first batch of transport planes are approaching Bunas. There are both good news and bad news." The Air Force liaison officer lowered his voice and reported to Tiger's ear: "The good news is that Bunas' intelligence personnel have confirmed that the airport there meets the conditions for landing. Our ground crew engineers brought a lot of tools and spare parts. With a little modification, refueling and simple maintenance should be no problem."

"Moreover, after repeated investigations, we found that Bunas and Yucheng surrendered." After he finished talking about the good news, he continued to talk about the bad news: "The bad news is that we just received news that Yucheng has been lost."

"Hmm?" Tiger frowned and looked at another officer standing beside him with dissatisfaction: "What's going on?"

"What Yucheng surrendered to us were part of the local field troops and almost all of the city guards. Marshal, you know that the city guards... can't be counted on for any combat effectiveness." The officer explained awkwardly, "The counterattack was the main force of the field troops gathered by the Lions Empire. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is indeed not on the same level."

"I understand." Tiger waved his hand and led his people into the office building prepared for him. A new plaque had been hung in front of the gate, which read "Eastern Front Headquarters of the Tang Empire".

Charlie, an elf who had just been promoted to an official in the city hall, was also standing in the crowd at this moment. He saw the majestic imperial marshal with a medal hanging on his chest, and also saw the officers of the Tang Empire in neat military uniforms.

From these people, he saw the terrifying power of the Tang Empire. Every soldier here exuded an awe-inspiring aura. When they stood together, the air even became sticky. Even at such a distance, Charlie had the illusion that he smelled gunpowder.

Of course he also knew that it was all his illusion: in fact, the war of elves was over and there was no longer any danger here.

A large transport plane with the dragon emblem of the Tang Empire painted on its wings roared through the sky. It was loaded with elite soldiers of the Tang Empire and was heading rapidly towards its destination, Bunas. In the dim cabin, the officer was mobilizing all the soldiers before the war: "Warriors! Do you know where our goal is? Bunas! That is where the emperor rose to power! We must defend it for his majesty at all costs! Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" Countless people answered loudly in the noisy cabin. They stared at the officers with determined eyes, waiting for the moment for them to make achievements.

Soon, the transport plane began to descend and circled over a simple field airport in preparation for landing. Some staff members could be seen running on the runway, and it was obvious that they had also seen the sky full of planes approaching.

The roar of the engine was deafening, but the soldiers in the cabin seemed unusually calm. Each of them had a firm expression on their face, and their eyes revealed their determination to face death head-on.

They were looking forward to the opportunity to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty. Death was the best medal for them, and victory was the best way for them to prove their loyalty.

To these soldiers, Bunas was just a legend. It appeared in every story of the rise of an empire, and it was once so distant and mysterious.

Now, they are going to take back this land that witnessed the history of the Tang Dynasty for their emperor. These soldiers have been through many battles and are used to war, but their desire for victory and their belief in protecting the Tang Empire have never changed.

They are fearless.

The landing gear hit the ground, and the plane began to shake and bump. All the soldiers holding their weapons began to shake, and everyone was waiting for the moment when the hatch would open.

The engine noise had not yet stopped, and the huge transport plane was still shaking violently and slowly turning to make way for the following planes. As it was shaking, the door at the tail of the plane slowly opened, and a strong airflow instantly poured into the cabin, making it impossible to open your eyes.

The well-trained soldiers all showed excitement. They carried heavy bags and held AK-47 rifles. Amid the deafening roar, they stood up, filed out in an orderly manner, and quickly landed on the runway.

"You're finally here!" When the Lord of Bunas, who was guarding the airport runway, saw the commander of the Tang Empire leading the troops, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

He was really scared. He was afraid that the troops of the Tang Empire would arrive before the troops of the Lions Empire. If that happened, he, as a traitor, would definitely suffer the consequences.

So he waited and waited, and finally the Tang Empire's army arrived. But... the way they arrived surprised him a little.

For him, the more troops from the Tang Empire, the better... But how many people can a plane carry? So he was a little disappointed, disappointed that the Tang Empire was too far away to provide him with more support.

But soon, he could no longer understand what was happening before his eyes: because he saw transport planes arriving one after another, as if there would never be an end.
