Chapter 126： Great friendship

(This is promised to follow the wind for eternity, the Tiandi Yuchen will be at 12 o'clock. The subscription is waiting for tomorrow. Although the results are very average, I will do what I say and will never default.)

Two hours later, the convoy moved up the edge of the Gunter Mountains and entered the Diromos Plateau. The connection with the Northern Union Army Command System is very smooth. Every hour, the two parties will contact each other to report the progress of the operation in real time.

Eight hours later, the sun was westward, and the convoy had traveled about 1,600 kilometers and was gradually approaching the center of the Diromos Plateau.

At a quarter past fourteen, Tang suddenly received a message from Montgomery himself. The general content was that the special service unit that had been sent to Diromos Plateau to guide the miners' riots suddenly lost contact. The convoy of Fang and others is not far from the air force base. Montgomery hopes that they will investigate. If it is just a communication equipment failure, then everything is easy to say. If something goes wrong, the arsenal will also have to make preparations early.

Speaking of this special service force, Tang Fang once asked Nehemiah on the road. It is said that a one-hundred-man special service company brought out by Montgomery from the Tor Continental Missile Base was developed for the team. Like the garrison, it is a combat unit directly under the command.

Originally last night, this special service unit had joined up with the uprising miners and worked together to control the tower, main barracks, and part of the hangar of the air base.

According to the original plan of the special service commander, a general offensive will be launched this afternoon when the enemy is mentally tired, and the entire air base will be included in the rebel army. And what the Union Army of Northern Jiangsu has to do is to pay close attention to the movements of the 408 Division, which is most likely to threaten the security of the special services. Once something goes wrong, it will immediately send troops to the Diromos Plateau. From behind the 408 Division, give it a big reminder. fist.

However, I did not expect that the 408 division has not moved, but the special service team has lost contact. We must know that with the addition of the riot miners, the number of the insurgents is as many as 1,500, and there is a brigade-level air base, plus ground crews. There are only about six to seven hundred people, with a force gap of nearly 3:1. Unless the commander of the special service team gets into his head, there is no chance of a miss.

What happened? Could it be that the government has sent other reinforcements? Or is it really just a simple communication equipment failure?

Turning on the vehicle-mounted holographic projector, the topographic map of the entire Diromos Plateau appeared in front of everyone. Tang Fanglue thought about it and ordered the convoy to turn around and head to the southwest air force base.

...

The Kabuto Air Force Base is located in the middle of the Diromos Plateau, with the lake facing the south. The entire northern plain of the Sunaru River and the eastern coast are included in the cruising range of combat aircraft.

In fact, in this era, some cutting-edge air combat aircraft have a cruising range of planetary level. Once the replenishment is completed, the flight of 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers is not a big problem.

Logically speaking, the entire Crottan star has an aerospace base on the Frey continent, which is enough to reach the sky firepower network covering the world. However, considering the constraints such as delay, pilot load, and weather effects. The military has built small brigade-level air bases in major areas to deal with general air combat missions.

From the perspective of the veteran inland defense army generals, such a plan is a precaution and is necessary. But in the eyes of some young generals from aristocratic background. This is purely taking off your pants and farting. Just imagine in the empire, where the "Celtic" glory shines, and who would dare to risk beheading without knowing whether to live or die. Come to challenge the majesty of the emperor.

To this day, everyone who has such an idea has been slapped hard. The guys who dared to resist the government and spit on the "Celtic" flag not only really existed, but they also set off a revolutionary frenzy in Crotan. The flames of war spread almost throughout the northern hemisphere, and more and more lowly civilians in their eyes , Have raised the flag of uprising and joined the revolutionary army.

The mineral deposits in the Gunter Mountains are much smaller than those in the southwestern part of the Odin continent, and the types are relatively single. The result of this is that the treatment of the miners is very different from their counterparts in the southwest. Under the situation of heavy exploitation and oppression, and even the loss of dignity, like a pig and dog, he resolutely raised the anti-flag, responded to the call of the rebel army, and launched a riot.

First, they captured the mine and grabbed a lot of weapons and equipment from the guards. Then, under the guidance of the internal counterparts, they took advantage of the patrol of the aviation warhead at Kabuto Air Base and cooperated with the special service team. Breaking into the air force base, paralyzed the base's defense system, and with an absolute number advantage, defeated the peripheral defense forces, compressed the enemy's movement space in the communication tower-airport runway-part of the hangar area.

This is all the information Tang Fang learned from Nehemiah during the course of the convoy.

Traveling along the highway to the southwest, about 2 hours later, I came to a farm not far from the base. Due to the influence of the miners' riots, the farmer had taken his family with his mouth and fled to a safe area with all his valuables. .

Tang Fang and others parked the vehicle in the farm warehouse, covered it a little, and formed three small teams. Aros led 10 Reapers and 40 machine gunmen, Grant led Walton, Joey and 40 machine gunmen. Then led the remaining personnel to sneak into the three areas of the east, west and north of the base.

Howson unsurprisingly expressed his dissatisfaction with the incident of "changing from a leader to a soldier". However, when Tang Fang said, "It is okay to be a leader, but if things are messed up, I will stop you. After entering the back door of that thing and never letting it out," he wisely chose to shut up.

Goodness, when he thinks of the chrysanthemum-like hole that keeps squirming, he can't help but feel a chill, a kind of vomit that even vomits out overnight.

Compared with Howson, who had a pale face like a little girl who had met a thief, Grant, Walton and others were extremely excited. Even if there was a tough battle waiting ahead, it was full of encouragement and pride.

With 40 machine gunners, he actually allowed himself to command and lead a team of brave and capable fighters. This is the dream of every soldier. Grant and others knew well about the combat effectiveness of these machine gunners. Any one of them, when taken into the rebel army, was a ruthless character with one enemy to ten, or even one enemy to a hundred. How many rebel soldiers regarded them as benefactors, idols, and even heroes.

Such a powerful warrior, he was willing to entrust him and others to lead him. What does this mean, not only represents his trust in himself, but also his affirmation of himself.

The excitement of Grant, Walton and others was beyond words, but they looked at Tang Fang with more panic and anxiety.

Tang Fang put the expressions of several people in his eyes, sighed unconsciously, and patted Grant on the shoulder: "I believe you!" After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, and walked forward with his men in strides.

When little Sam walked past Grant couldn’t help looking at the machine gunmen behind him with an enviable face, muttering to himself: “When I grow up, I will lead such a team. ..."

Nehemiah glanced at Tang Fang's back with a wise gaze, and Grant, who hadn't been relieved, smiled slightly: "Congratulations, you have gained a great friendship."

"Grant, your kid is going to mess things up. I slapped your head and kicked it. Humph!" After speaking out of anger, Howson slammed his head together, shook his head three times and twisted. Butt chasing Tang Fang away.

When Grant came back to his senses, Tang Fang had disappeared, and Aros' back figure slowly sank to the end of the horizon.

"Gudu" swallowed, and he patted Walton and Joey, who were dull-faced, "Let's go."

"Oh." The two mechanically agreed, and walked forward behind him. Behind them were 40 machine gunners who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, and they were full of a thick breath of mountains and mountains.

Sunlight passed through the wooden fence and shone on their shoulder armor, reflecting circles of dazzling light.
