Chapter 409: On the Verge of Explosion!
Chapter 409: On the Verge of Explosion!
Seeing that they didn't need ordinary people like themselves to risk their lives to deal with the demon squad, James and Ryan finally felt relieved.
It's not that the US military is cowardly; it's that they really can't deal with those inhuman armed groups.
"Once Mo Fei sees that the mountain road is impassable, he will definitely retreat immediately, regroup the small force used to harass General Connor and try to break through the mountain again, or simply withdraw all the armed troops that were feigning an attack on us."
"But no matter what he does, as long as we and General Connor keep a close watch on Mo Fei's human armed forces, we can prevent the vanguard on the mountain from being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. However, this will also increase our casualties considerably."
Seeing Qi Lin and Leng nod, Mu Xingchen continued to explain his thoughts.
He wasn't sure what Mo Fei would do, but it's always good to be prepared in advance.
We can't afford to be caught off guard and panic when unexpected situations arise.
"There's nothing we can do about it; people always die in war."
James knew that the woman in black armor named Qilin was Mu Xingchen's lover.
They've already sent their wives out to risk their lives as frontline fighters, how can he possibly say he doesn't want to bear the burden of massive casualties?
They had no choice but to accept the mission of fighting a tough battle against Mo Fei's human armed forces.
"Yes, people always die in war. I'll contact General Connor later and do as Commander Mu said. If Mo Fei really sends troops to harass General Connor's camp, we'll have General Connor leave the camp to pursue them and annihilate them!"
Ryan echoed his boss's words and said a few words.
However, this was refuted by Mu Xingchen.
"Keep your hold on, but don't go out to chase the enemy. What if Mokke sees that General Connor's camp is undefended and decides to take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack and seize the armored division? We must not allow the armored division to be at any risk, and we must not let it fall into the hands of the enemy."
"Don't worry, Qi Lin and Leng, though women, are not weak. Even if Mo Fei recalls the small group harassing General Connor's camp to break through the encirclement, it won't be difficult for them to hold out until we finish the battle and then surround and wipe out Mo Fei."
Mu Xingchen had great faith in Leng's abilities.
As long as cold exists, no matter how many human weapons Mo Fei possesses, it will be useless.
She could destroy all those demon followers with a single fiery judgment.
They even blew Mo Fei and his entire demon squadron to smithereens.
"Yes, Commander Mu is very thoughtful."
Ryan didn't blame Mu Xingchen for contradicting him; he simply smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Haha, that's true. We have complete faith in the capabilities of the Super Soldier Squad."
Seeing Mu Xingchen's confidence, James could only smile and agree.
"Then let's do it this way. Qilin, go and inform Lieutenant An to take two hundred men with you up the mountain. Remember to bring plenty of grenades and bombs, as well as landmines, in case Mo Fei's group tries to break through."
Mu Xingchen turned his head and gave his wife a few instructions.
"Row"
Qi Lin nodded, then turned and walked out of the tent.
Just as Leng was about to chase after Qi Lin and leave, Mu Xingchen called out to her.
"Leng, while I'm away, please protect Qilin for me, okay? Don't act rashly."
"Don't worry, even if I die, she won't be harmed by a single hair."
Leng originally wanted to say, "Why didn't you ask Qilin to protect me?"
However, since there were Allied officers in the tent, she didn't say anything that would embarrass him.
He merely responded with an impatient tone.
Clearly, she's not in a good mood lately.
Because he had never been to her tent in all this time, nor had he allowed her to move into his place.
A year has passed since they met, and there's been absolutely no progress between them. Naturally, her mood is quite cold. [She's holding it in.]
"Alright, go on then."
Mu Xingchen was also helpless about this angel whose hair was starting to turn sour again.
They had no choice but to quickly send her away, lest she argue with him again and make a fool of herself in front of the Allied forces.
Leng didn't talk to him this time, and instead strode after Qi Lin, who had gone out first.
Seeing the female officer named Leng's attitude towards Commander-in-Chief Mu Xingchen, James and Ryan exchanged a smile but said nothing.
"Then I'd like to trouble you two to contact General Connor and ask for his cooperation in our operation."
After seeing Leng and Qilin leave, Mu Xingchen turned back to look at James and Ryan.
"Okay, then we'll get back to work."
James knew that Mu Xingchen was trying to get rid of them, so of course he had to go along with her.
"Um"
Mu Xingchen nodded without saying anything more.
James and Ryan also left the Supreme Commander's tent under Mu Xingchen's "escort".
However, after sending off the two allied soldiers, Mu Xingchen did not return, but went directly to find Qi Lin and Leng.
After all, his two wives were going to carry out interception missions on their own, so he, as their husband, naturally had to see them off.
Besides, he still had to give An Kang Kang some instructions regarding combat matters.
There's no way I can resist taking a look.
……
On the afternoon of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending disaster.
On this day, the Mofei Legion, which had been holding back, finally made a move.
They deployed over a hundred tanks and nearly two hundred armored vehicles to the battlefield, directly confronting Mu Xingchen and the US military, who were blocking their northeastern direction.
Along with the tanks and armored vehicles were countless human armed forces (demon cultists) and a small number of red-skinned mutated demons.
Judging by their numbers, those troops number at least tens of thousands!
Mu Xingchen and James and the others naturally received news that the Mo Fei Legion was planning to break out.
They led their troops out of the camp early on to guard the fortifications, preparing for a tough battle against those who betrayed humanity.
However, the number of American troops on Mu Xingchen's side was not superior. Even including the Chinese troops he brought, there were only a little over seven thousand people.
The James Division, which came to support Mu Xingchen in the battle, was not at full strength; it only had a fraction of the strength of a full-strength division, at most a brigade. However, their equipment was equivalent to that of a full-strength division. Of course, this equipment refers to mechanized weapons, such as tanks, armored vehicles, and missile launchers.
Fortunately, they had a significant number of tanks, more than double the number of mechanized vehicles deployed by the enemy. [This refers specifically to tanks, not armored vehicles; the US military had over three hundred tanks.]
However, their armored division is short of ammunition and probably won't be able to withstand many rounds of large-scale artillery fire.
Facing the overwhelming enemy forces, Mu Xingchen, standing atop an armored vehicle and observing the enemy situation through binoculars, wore a solemn expression.
However, because the enemy was too far away, he did not order James and his men to open fire.
The Mofei Legion only deployed one of their reinforced brigades, and their heavy firepower, such as missile launchers, was not used.
Firstly, the Murphy Legion lacked sufficient missiles.
Before Mu Xingchen arrived, the Mo Fei Army had already fought against the US military multiple times. Although they were able to hold their cities and dominate the region, they had consumed a lot of weapons and equipment. It was precisely because the Mo Fei Army was well-equipped that the US high command was having a major headache, since they couldn't just drop nuclear bombs on their own cities.
Secondly, with Mu Xingchen stationed at the heavy armored positions, enemy missiles were unable to effectively strike them. [They could use large wind walls to protect the heavy firepower of armored divisions.]
Therefore, it is possible that his men have given up the idea of using long-range missiles to bombard the enemy.
They drove tanks and armored vehicles directly to the front lines.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky is overcast, as if a torrential downpour is about to begin.
Atlanta, USA, is located in a subtropical region with a mild climate year-round. Even in winter, there is very little snow, and it mostly rains.
The sight of the vast enemy army in the distance was particularly unsettling.
However, the massive enemy force did not rush headlong into the range of the US army's artillery fire.
They stopped four kilometers away from the U.S. troops.
They sent a man dressed in a German military uniform with a scar on his face to drive a jeep forward.
Because the enemy only sent one jeep, Mu Xingchen did not order the artillery to fire at the enemy that was close to their firing range.
Most tanks have an effective firing range of four kilometers (4,000 meters), but in actual combat, they can only achieve accurate strikes within three kilometers; beyond that, they are simply inaccurate.
The jeep finally stopped about two kilometers from the U.S. military base.
The middle-aged man, dressed in a German military uniform and with a scar on his face, climbed onto the roof of the jeep.
He then used a large military megaphone to shout loudly at the US troops two kilometers away.
"We are all Earthlings!! Why must we be so ruthless?! We can leave American territory!! And we will never do it again!! Please make way for us!! I promise we will leave here soon!! And never come back!!"
Clearly, these scoundrels who followed Mo Fei in committing evil and dominating their own territories were terrified by Mu Xingchen.
They had never seen a terrifying enemy capable of controlling storms to attack.
Under the onslaught of those giant tornadoes, their tanks and armored vehicles were easily blown away.
Their missile systems were also unable to inflict effective damage on the enemy, as they were all blocked by an unidentified blue shield.
Having been constantly outmatched, these Mo Fei gangs quickly lost confidence in their ability to defeat the enemy.
And so, they've taken the initiative to seek peace.
"Commander Mu, here you go."
A tall, upright American soldier handed his military megaphone to Mu Xingchen, who was standing on top of the armored vehicle.
His name is Inesen, and his rank is colonel. He is in charge of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Armored Brigade. [Although the US Army only has one brigade, it is heavily armed with mechanized weapons, so its internal organization is still based on that of a normal division.]
He knew perfectly well that their highest commander here was not Major General James (the division commander).
Instead, it was this soldier from the Super Soldier Company, clad in black armor.
He knew that the black-armored soldier from China was the Global Commander-in-Chief of Defense, collectively appointed by the Allied Powers.
They possess the authority of division-level officers to mobilize troops in any allied country.
In addition, he fought two great victories with incredibly low casualties under the command of this young commander.
Therefore, he greatly respected this soldier from the Xiongbing Company who came from China.
Mu Xingchen did not bend down to take the megaphone handed to him by the US military colonel. After a few seconds of hesitation,
He also began shouting at the enemy in the distance.
"What? You think you can just walk away after burning, killing, and looting? There's no such logic in this world! You've joined the ranks of demons, harmed your own people, and betrayed human civilization! Your crimes are already unforgivable! Only death awaits you! Nothing else!"
Mu Xingchen did not deliberately shout at the top of her lungs.
But his voice carried to the enemy two kilometers away.
Even the enemy forces four kilometers away could hear Mu Xingchen's calm voice.
Clearly, Mu Xingchen was using the wind (air) to transmit sound.
It seems that his understanding and cultivation of Gale have indeed improved significantly over the past year.
No wonder he was able to use such a large-scale modified wind barrier (wall) to protect his heavy armored positions from being destroyed.
He has indeed made a lot of progress compared to before.
Seeing the enemy's resolute determination to annihilate them, the scarred man standing in the jeep gritted his teeth in anger.
Then he continued shouting into the megaphone toward the US military.
"We are not lambs!! If you don't give us a way out!! We will fight to the death!!!"
After he shouted that, the armed forces two kilometers behind him were also eager to move.
Especially those mutated demons with red skin and wings, they looked ready to charge in and wreak havoc.
"Resistance? Hehehehe...hehehehehe...hahahahahahahahaha"
Upon hearing the enemy soldier's words, Mu Xingchen, who was on the roof of the vehicle, smiled.
His laughter contained no mockery, only a chilling coldness that seeped into the bone!
The laughter was carried by the wind to the enemy forces two and four kilometers away.
The news also reached the ears of the American and Chinese soldiers around him and behind him.
That chilling laughter was like the low murmur of a demon, sending a shiver down the spines of the enemy.
Even their own troops felt a chill run down their spines from Mu Xingchen's cold laughter.
At this moment, even the Mofei Legion was somewhat unable to distinguish who was the true representative of the demons.
After laughing, Mu Xingchen spoke the last words he would ever hear to the enemy soldier two kilometers away.
"If you resist to the bitter end, then you will see what true slaughter is!"
Mu Xingchen's gloomy words, like the sharp edge of a blade, reached the ears of every enemy soldier.
The scarred man in the German military uniform stopped talking and angrily slammed the megaphone in his hand to the ground.
He then issued his final instructions to the troops behind him via communicator.
"charge!!!"
At the command of the scarred man, more than a hundred tanks and nearly two hundred armored vehicles sped off towards the US troops four kilometers away.
The tens of thousands of human soldiers followed the mechanical troops and charged towards the enemy.
Those red-skinned mutated demons, taking advantage of their wings, flew at the forefront of the army, displaying an appearance of fearlessness.
They roared and shouted, charging towards the enemy's position as if their lives depended on it.
The tank's steel tracks rolled across the ground, producing a series of muffled "thunderous" sounds.
The armored vehicle's tires kicked up bits of dirt, accompanied by deafening roars.
At first glance, the enemy troops looked like a colossal python rolling sideways, sweeping in from afar with billowing dust!
That scene was both extremely shocking and extremely tragic.
Because their bravery was not used to resist aliens and protect the Earth.
They are marching their iron hooves towards their own compatriots, launching an attack on the United States military, which is also a human being.
