Chapter 330 The Difficult March
An engineer battalion in front of the multinational force was originally building bridges and building roads. Unexpectedly, a man-made flood broke out. They were unable to escape and were even swept away by the flood. Only one out of ten of more than a thousand people survived.
This flooded area, which was historically a low-lying area, has become a vast expanse of water, with flooding everywhere, and the average water depth exceeds two meters.
The most terrible thing is that during this period of time, the rain fell every day, making it impossible for the flood to recede in a short time.
At this time, both Song Yinghao led by Dayan and General Akita led by Orochi were completely dumbfounded.
It is impossible for the flood to recede within twenty days or so. Even if it recedes, the soft land soaked by the flood will no longer be suitable for marching.
If it continues to rain, the march may be delayed for more than a month and a half.
This Tang Zheng was so sinister and vicious that he could have blown you up earlier. He actually chose to blow up the dam when they arrived near Luoshui River, which immediately put the multinational forces in a dilemma.
Their plan to attack Ticui Island suddenly failed!
On a high hill.
Akita, Song Yinghao, and General Jin Junxian of the Tiger Empire, the three of them stood here, looking at the endless ocean, looking at each other.
“Tang Zheng.”
Akita grinded his teeth, and two words came out from between his teeth.
Jin Junxian is a man in his thirties, wearing a gorgeous military uniform, with long hair, handsome features, and a somewhat feminine look.
He stared at the flood for a long time and shook his hair: "It seems that we have no other choice but to use our empire's fleet to start organizing shipping."
Song Yinghao snorted from his nostrils: "General Jin, please respect the facts. Your fleet can't even prevent the Light Chasing Army from landing and causing chaos. How can it carry an army of 800,000? I'm afraid you won't be able to cross this flood. District, we will all be beaten into the sea by the light-chasing army to feed the bastards."
"䱱! Your navy was completely annihilated by the Light Chasing Army. What qualifications do you have to criticize the navy of our Tiger Empire?" Jin Junxian suddenly became angry, as if he wanted to fall out with Song Yinghao.
At this time Akita spoke: "The failure of our navy is because the Light Chasing Army feels that attacking us is more valuable. It does not mean how strong your Tiger Empire's navy is. You have not been attacked. That is because of your little strength." , it’s just that Tang Zheng didn’t take notice of him.”
Jin Junxian's face turned a little red as the two of them shouted back at him.
He couldn't help but want to retort, but after seeing the gloomy faces of Akita and Song Yinghao, he still didn't dare to act rashly.
“So, what should we do now? Is there any better way to cross this floodplain?”
Akita turned his attention to Song Yinghao: "General Song, this is your territory. You are more familiar with it than we are. Can you tell us what to do now?"
Song Yinghao took a deep breath: "There is no better way. We can only take a detour from Yunling. Although it will take a little more time, we can still get there."
Akita had obviously done some research on the terrain. He nodded when he heard this: "This is the only way. We can't go back home like this. Otherwise, if Tian Mingfei goes deep alone, he may be attacked by the Light Chasing Army. If he suffers losses, , it is possible to withdraw from the alliance."
At this time, Akita called the correspondent and started to contact Tian Mingfei.
Tian Mingfei should have arrived near Didui Island by now, but the Allied forces were constantly harassed by the light-chasing army and were still unable to arrive. He simply slowed down the march and was more than a thousand miles away from Didui Island. Picking mushrooms from a kilometer away, obviously I don’t want to go deep alone.
Now that Akita and Tian Mingfei have contacted each other, Tian Mingfei decided to wait until the Allied forces crossed Yunling before he continued to move forward.
Akita did not ask Tian Mingfei to advance immediately. After the two ended the call, the army started to move again.
This detour required a detour of more than 2,000 kilometers and passed through difficult mountainous areas. This was undoubtedly a torture for them. Several people cursed the despicable Tang Zheng and Zhu Guang. army, and then embark on a new journey.
With the world paying attention, the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces began to make a detour and walked nearly 2,000 kilometers along the flood plain. It took them five days to reach the foot of the Yunling Mountains.
Yunling.
This mountain stretches for more than 5,000 kilometers, spanning almost half of the Han Dynasty.
Although this is not the highest peak of the Han month, its height is not low either, with the average altitude above one thousand meters.
Before the end of the world, Han Yue proposed to protect the environment and prohibit logging in mountainous areas. The vegetation here in Yunling was extremely lush.
After the end of the world, there were no more people cutting wood, animals and plants began to grow wildly, and Yunling became a deep mountain forest.
The source of Luoshui River is in the Yunling Mountains, where it is formed by mountain springs and streams.
The highway that originally ran along the mountain here has now been blown up by the Light Chasing Army.
Not to mention the bridge across the Luoshui River, not a single one is left, and traffic on both sides has been completely cut off.
When the Allied army arrived at the foot of Yunling and prepared to pass along the foothills, they found that dense mine arrays had been laid out here.
The roads have also been completely destroyed, and some places have been detonated. Rocks are piled everywhere, making it difficult for vehicles to pass.
This discovery made Akita extremely angry. The light-chasing army used despicable methods one after another. Their path along the foothills was also blocked. There was no other way but to climb over the mountain.
Fortunately, Dayan's soldiers are quite familiar with this place. Some local soldiers stood up and told Akita and others that before the highway was built here, there was a rural road that could pass through the mountainous area. Although it was not easy to walk, it was still possible to walk. .
Akita and the others had no choice but to adopt the soldiers' advice and began to lead large troops into the mountains. After walking for dozens of kilometers along the mountainside, we found the rural road that the soldiers mentioned.
The large troops began to enter the mountains along this road. After entering the mountains, they discovered that the road was in a very dilapidated condition due to disrepair.
The tanks can still barely move, but those military trucks, towed artillery, and the many anti-aircraft missile vehicles purchased with a lot of money can hardly move here.
The impact of rain is great. The roads in the mountains are very muddy, and the car will suddenly fall into a mud pit while walking.
At this time, the soldiers had to get out to push the cart, and the mud was dripping up to their knees. If they pushed the cart one step at a time or walked, their noses, mouths and ears would be clogged with mud if they fell.
When the situation is serious, the only way is to drive the tanks over and use steel cables to pull the cars forward one after another.
The roads in the mountains were originally rugged, and many times the roads were blocked, preventing the army from advancing or retreating. The delay could last for several hours.
There are also mosquitoes and flies that are ubiquitous in the mountains, which have also become the enemy of the marching troops.
After the apocalypse, these annoying little things have become a little bigger. Although they are only a little bigger, they are several times more harmful. If they are stared at by a mosquito, they will form a big bag. If not treated, they will even Inflammation and suppuration.
At night, there were not enough tents for overnight stays, so many soldiers could only wrap their heads, necks, hands, feet and other exposed parts with gauze, cotton and linen to survive a difficult night.
Logistics and transportation are also a big problem, especially after the team is stretched, the troops in front can only rely on airdrops for supplies, and some soldiers even have to face starvation.
During this process, the Tiger Empire also robbed the supplies of Dayan soldiers, but they insisted on claiming that these supplies were theirs, which also triggered a medium-sized fight.
Faced with all these difficulties, the multinational forces were so miserable that they even had to use engineers to temporarily repair roads.
It doesn’t need to be very good, it just needs to be able to allow vehicles to pass through.
But this thing is not that easy to do. When the engineers arrived, they used explosives to try to blast away the rocks on the road, which resulted in a landslide.
Many days of rain have softened the soil in the mountains. The power of the explosives was too great, causing the soil up the mountain to loosen and rocks to pour down. A medium-sized landslide suddenly occurred!
More than a hundred soldiers and seven engineering vehicles that were finally retrieved were ruthlessly buried by landslides.
Although these unexpected events were not enough to stop the advance of the 800,000-strong army, their marching speed did indeed slow down.
Yunling is also more than 400 kilometers wide from north to south. According to Akita and others' estimates, they can get out of Yunling in a week, which is considered good.
This is because, high up in Yunling, there is a mountain pass called Zhongtianmen.
The mountain pass is the highest point of this road. After passing the mountain pass, it is downhill. It should be easier to walk, otherwise I might not be able to walk out for more than ten days.
This mountain pass is located among mountains, surrounded by large and small hills. It is just a road through.
Originally there was a service area here, but it has long been abandoned and has become a no-man's land.
Akita did not advance rashly. Before officially heading towards the Zhongtian Gate, he also sent out planes for reconnaissance.
The plane conducted a reconnaissance over Zhongtianmen and reported back. No abnormalities were found.
It’s just that the sky above Zhongtian Gate is filled with clouds and mist, making it difficult to see clearly what’s below.
There are clouds and fog on the top of the mountain. This is a normal natural phenomenon. Naturally, it did not cause any alertness to Akita. He told the plane to go out for reconnaissance every day, paying special attention to the foothills south of Zhongtianmen to see if any light-seeking troops were coming.
In this way, the reconnaissance continued every day, and the troops continued to advance.
After walking for five days, the 800,000-strong army had completely penetrated deep into the Yunling Mountains, and not a single soldier of the Zhuguang Army was found.
At this time, Akita breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the arrangement of the Light Chasing Army is not here. They may still be waiting for the arrival of their own side on Didicui Island.
But by that time, it will be too late.
It's just an isolated island. When the time comes, the more than 800,000 people on our side, plus the 300,000 people on Tian Mingfei's side, can blow this island to pieces even if they set up cannons and blast it hard.
Akita and the others suffered a lot along the way. Akita was spotted by mosquitoes all over his body. He couldn't eat well or sleep well, and he felt very uncomfortable.
The Tiger Empire's Jin Junxian was even more miserable. His gorgeous military uniform almost turned into a beggar's uniform. He even fell down on the road and broke his nose.
At this time, Akita and Song Yinghao knew that Jin Junxian's nose had been plastic surgery, and they laughed at it for a while.
Jin Junxian was even more angry in his heart. He vowed that after walking out of this hellish place, he must make the Light Chaser Army pay the blood price for causing him such suffering!
They have reached a tacit understanding among their generals. Not one of the Light Chasing Army and Han Yue people on Didui Island will be left alive!
Full of hatred and negative emotions, they finally approached the Zhongtianmen Pass.
The place between the mountains in the distance, covered by thick fog, is the Zhongtian Gate.
They still have to walk this distance, but after resting tonight, they should be able to cross here at noon tomorrow and end this difficult journey.
