Chapter 223: The situation in the north, feint attack to divert the enemy's attention, I will b

At 10:30 pm, Lin Feng led a group of people and followed the soldiers who led the way at the door of the apartment to the combat meeting room in the air force base.

At this moment, there was not only General Chen who had been waiting for a long time, but also several school-level second-level awakeners. However, after feeling the strength of Lin Feng and others, they all sat upright.

After all, among the more than 30 people in this circle, except for the ten commanders of the combat corps who were only perfect in the late first stage, the remaining more than 20 people were all in the late second stage.

Especially the few people headed by City Lord Lin, ordinary second-level early awakeners could not sense their strength level at all.

When the strength gap between the two sides exceeded three times or even more, if the strong did not actively release the breath, the weak could not even accurately sense the strength of the other party.

However, it is obvious that General Chen has reminded that these newly promoted second-level commanders present need to be low-key and humble enough in front of the Salvation Army.

In name, the two sides this time were only carrying out support cooperation, but the actual situation was that the Federation had no choice but to beg the latter to come to help.

So even this notification meeting required General Chen to come in person to inform.

As Lin Feng and others took their seats one after another, they gathered in the back row of the huge combat conference room, and the guards on both sides turned off the lights.

In the dim light, a staff officer turned on the projector, and a high-definition map of the entire federal capital was projected on the screen.

It clearly marked the location of all high-level queen mothers in the north, as well as the size and distribution range of their insect swarms, etc.

It seems that although the federal high-level officials are unable to break the situation, they are still strong in intelligence information collection.

Although the strength is insufficient, the combat system is still there, and it can calmly deal with such a million-scale war.

As long as the intelligence data is accurate, Lin Feng is confident that he can lead his second-level battle group to quickly solve those lone third-level early queen mothers.

In this way, he can complete the tasks assigned by the military and take the opportunity to improve his strength, killing two birds with one stone.

As the current situation of the capital defense war gradually became clear under the introduction of the staff, Lin Feng whispered with the people beside him, such as Long Yi, Shen Jie and Liu Yi.

Now, whether the top leaders of the Federation are willing to admit it or not...

The reality is that the defense plan has completely failed.

This is not that the resistance forces in the capital city have been wiped out, but after the Zerg completed the encirclement and blockade of the land and air lines, the cost of the Federation to provide logistical support to the capital is constantly rising.

In order to provide supplies to the soldiers and civilians defending the city, the Air Force has lost more than half of its transport planes, and sneaking from the land will also be detected and intercepted by the ubiquitous Zerg.

Such a large loss and consumption caused complaints from the rear safety zone.

The materials that should have been used to rescue a large number of refugees were also wasted in this capital defense battle with symbolic significance far greater than its actual effect.

However, the boiling public resentment is not the fundamental reason why all parties dare to oppose it.

The main reason is that the front line kept asking for it, but the rear base did not get the rewards it deserved.

For example, the dawn of victory in the capital defense battle, and the live worm spoils promised by the front line to be transported back to the rear.

Therefore, after realizing that victory was hopeless, all forces must jump out of this sinking federal ship in advance, so as not to bury their remaining potential in this doomed defense war.

It happened that at this time, the southern propaganda came with good news. The establishment of the Jincheng Base and the Salvation Army brought another way out to the major forces in the rear.

That is to personally form their own awakened team and return to the coastal front to fight.

From then on, they no longer rely on the federation and walk out their own independent path.

And as the war situation in the north continued to be unfavorable, the only thing left for the federal high-level officials was to minimize losses when the defense strategy had already failed...

Save the millions of survivors besieged by the Zerg as soon as possible, as well as the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Only when more people are saved, the federation's status and voice in the post-apocalyptic era will be more solid.

Especially the hundreds of thousands of trapped soldiers, most of whom have become awakened and gene warriors. Only by rescuing this precious force first can the federation not exist in name only.

This is why the top leaders will go to the southern Salvation Army at all costs to ask for support and cooperation to ensure the smooth implementation of this breakout rescue plan.

The breakout plan projected on the screen at this moment was actually formulated a week ago.

The only shortcoming is the southwest direction. The troops responsible for the feint attack must have the strength to hold back the three queens.

Only the Salvation Army led by Lin Feng can do this.

As the staff began to explain the actions of the Salvation Army, Lin Feng and others also roughly understood the content and target requirements of their tasks:

According to the observations and statistics of the front-line soldiers and the defenders in the capital, there are currently four third-stage middle-stage queens surrounding the capital, stationed in the four correct positions of the southeast, northwest and northeast.

As the main force surrounding the capital, the middle-stage queen has led her insect swarm to the front line and has been harassing the defenders in the city for the past half month.

Step by step, eroding the human survivors.

In the four remote locations of the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest, two or three third-order early-stage queens were sent to guard them.

To prevent the city's defenders from breaking out.

Because the northwest of the federal capital is a plateau with an altitude of more than a thousand meters. Not only is the soil dry and hard, but the environment is also extremely barren.

Within a thousand miles, there is only a layer of shallow grass, which can be used for grazing horses and sheep. Beyond that, there is only a large desert.

So the Zerg on the west and north sides are concentrated, and their control over the territory and the scale of the swarm are weaker than those on the southeast side.

So the northwest became the best direction for the capital's defenders to break out.

But this is a breakout and migration of tens or millions of people. Even if the required vehicles and fuel are sufficient, it will take at least one day to escape and evacuate.

The close connection between the Zerg queens will definitely allow them to learn about the situation and come to support when the general breakout begins.

After drilling out of the surface, the queen can directly control the entire swarm, rush out in full force, and quickly form a new encirclement and interception at a speed of ten kilometers per hour.

Outside the encirclement, the strength of the army responsible for the response can barely hold back three early queens. If the internal defenders are combined with their strong strength, the chance of success in choosing a direction to break out is not low...

But in advance, there must be an elite force responsible for containing the several queens coming to support from the southwest.

According to the time span of this breakout mission, at least three or more queens will be able to arrive, and even the third-stage mid-stage queens near the capital may break out of the ground just to bite the evacuated defenders.

So the task assigned to the Salvation Army is very difficult.

After the staff introduction, General Chen said solemnly:

"In fact, just hold them back. According to the crushing battle of City Lord Lin in the western area of ​​Wucheng, this should not be a problem, right?"

"If it is really troublesome, you can apply for nuclear weapon support, or hold them back for half a day, first ensure that the soldiers in the capital are evacuated, and then find a way to confront the Zerg."

During the staff introduction, Lin Feng was also discussing the feasibility of this task with his team members.

Long Yi nodded silently, Shen Jie raised both hands in agreement, and finally Liu Yi, as well as several other regiment leaders, believed that the Salvation Army should take the lead and turn the feint attack into the main battlefield.

They had to kill a high-level queen mother in the encirclement before the breakout operation to attract the attention of the other queen mothers.

This way, the war could spread to the southwest.

Lin Feng also thought it made sense. After all, the real purpose of their coming was to continue hunting high-level queen mothers.

The so-called support and containment were all incidental effects.

Hearing General Chen's question at this moment, Lin Feng didn't think too much and agreed directly:

"According to your breakout plan, the operation will not start until tomorrow afternoon. I can guarantee that several early-stage third-level queen mothers in the southwest will not rush to the northwest area, but in addition, I have another request..."

General Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, if he wanted to stop three queen mothers, he had to send at least three reinforced divisions and 70,000 to 80,000 troops of the entire group army, and 10% of them had to be awakened.

And the number of second-level awakened people must not be less than 50, otherwise the second-level insect swarm under the queen mother's command, a wave of group charge, can instantly tear apart the human blocking line.

The remaining troops that the Federation can mobilize at present cannot support two-front operations.

In the northwest alone, the deployment of troops to support the capital garrison that broke out from the inside is already stretched to the limit, so the Savior Army is needed to intercept the Zerg Queen who came to support from the southwest.

At this moment, hearing that Lin Feng has other conditions, General Chen nodded and asked:

"Does City Lord Lin want us to send ordinary troops to provide fire support? To suppress the Zerg tide's offensive?"

After all, the Savior Army brought by Lin Feng only has more than 280 people in total. Even if the overall strength can directly crush tens of thousands of troops...

But after all, the disadvantage of numbers is there, and the shortage of manpower also means that they can only carry out a single-handed decapitation mission.

There is no way to take into account the Zerg swarms that raid from all directions.

The territory of a third-level early queen is as many as hundreds of square kilometers. If you want to stop the Zerg tide on the edge of the ten-kilometer-long territory, at least tens of thousands of soldiers need to be arranged to detect the Zerg movement in time.

So General Chen subconsciously thought that Lin Feng wanted the federal military to send a large number of ordinary soldiers to provide battlefield garrison and reconnaissance, as well as firepower support.

However, after hearing General Chen's questioning, the other party showed a trace of disdain and said with a smile:

"Reinforcements are not necessary. According to the cooperation items we agreed on before, all the Zerg killed by the Salvation Army and all the biological materials collected on the battlefield will belong to us."

"And what I want to say is that since we need to make a feint to contain them, it is better to directly attract all the queen mothers' attention to the southwest direction."

As he said, Lin Feng slowly raised his hand and pointed to the map projection on the screen:

"Early tomorrow morning, we will take action and go to the outermost perimeter of the southwest encirclement to kill the third-stage early queen mother. It will be around noon. Done! "

"At that time, even the third-stage queen stationed in the south will be moved and send out the Zerg swarm to test our Savior Army..."

"At that time, the so-called feint attack will become the real main battlefield of this breakout plan, and the defenders trapped in the capital city will be able to break out smoothly from the northwest. "

"In order to disguise it more realistically, I hope that everyone in the Federation can send out more than a thousand troops to surround the encirclement in all directions and carry out uninterrupted harassment day and night, so that the queen will look forward and backward after the war and delay time. "

"Of course, at that time, the main energy of the Zerg Queen will definitely be placed in the southwest direction where the Savior Army is located. "

"If you can still contact the defenders in the city, you can inform them to send a strong team to break out in the southwest direction, cooperate with us from inside and outside, confuse these mother queens, and make them believe that the defenders in the city will break out in the southwest direction..."

After saying that, Lin Feng looked at the stunned federal military in the conference room and continued:

"Believe me, just a feint of harassment will definitely not play a role in containment."

"High-level mother queens are not fools, on the contrary, they are an emotionless combat machine."

"Instead of following your plan, when the time comes, several mother queens in the southwest will all come out in full force, making the containment mission become It's extremely tricky. Why not do as I say and turn the southwest entrance into the main battlefield? "

"As long as a high-level queen can be killed, even if the Zerg knows it's a trap, they will jump in without hesitation. After all, a third-level awakener, plus a swarm of Zerg under the command of a high-level queen, is enough to make those early queens who can only drink soup on the periphery make a wise choice. "

"What can attract them is nothing more than the benefits of war. "

"As long as the intensity of the southwest is raised, the Zerg queen will be like a gambler, and will continue to invest in it. "

After listening to Lin Feng's analysis and proposal, General Chen and several school-level second-level awakeners who were responsible for this breakout,

all fell into deep shock.

It was not until a moment later that one of the mid-stage second-level awakeners, a colonel, stood up and asked:

"If we can follow this plan, it would be great. But the only question is, City Lord Lin, are you sure you can deal with a high-level queen mother in just one morning?"

"We know the strength of City Lord Lin..."

"But you have to know that the high-level queen mother on the surface is completely different from the queen mother hidden underground!"

"In the case of the former, you only need to send a fearless commando team carrying a nuclear bomb to seriously injure it, or even kill it completely if the nuclear bomb is large enough."

"But for the latter, you have to step into the underground insect nest, kill into the mother nest hundreds of meters underground, and fight with the Zerg Queen on her territory."

"You need to face the entire Zerg!"

"And hundreds of second-stage tiger-spine insects!"

This mid-stage second-level awakener expressed the common voice of the federal military present.

Of course, they knew that doing so would be more perfect than the original breakout plan, and would be able to rescue enough survivors and ensure the complete success of the breakout.

But ideals are different from reality.

In reality, no organization or individual can guarantee the successful killing of a high-level queen in an underground insect nest.

Even when Lin Feng completed the decapitation mission, he relied on a nuclear bomb explosion to force the queen out of the underground, and finally solved the Jiangbei queen in cooperation with the Guards and Lingyi.

If they take the lead now, the Zerg queen will obviously not leave the underground, break out of the ground, and migrate to intercept before confirming the city defense forces in the encirclement and breaking out.

In the eyes of the federal military, Lin Feng's remarks are more like arrogant words that are ignorant of the height of the world.

They are more worried that because of Lin Feng's momentary bravado, the elite forces of the Salvation Army will be buried in the underground insect nest in vain.

As a result, the original breakout plan will fail.

So after everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, they decided to let the strongest colonel stand up and speak out a warning.

But Lin Feng, who was sitting in the back row at this moment, just shrugged his shoulders:

"Don't worry, since I formed the second-level army, it has been for this day! Ignoring the factors of the terrain, I can lead the second-level army to go deep into the insect nest! Kill the mother queen!"

As he spoke, Lin Feng began to release the powerful momentum of a third-level awakener:

"My soldiers will become the most powerful troops in this doomsday, but they are just a second-level insect swarm..."

Lin Feng slowly stood up, looked at the dozen or so federal military leaders present, and said word by word:

"I will lead them..."

"No matter how many come, kill as many as you can!"
