Chapter 688, The Surviving Marshal, Battle of Rheaduches (Part 3)

Before the main human force began its formal attack and carried out large-scale airborne landings, the number of people who fell to the ground through Gu Hang's psychic teleportation was very small, only more than four hundred.

Except for Qin Zhiping, most of the others are space warriors.

Such a precious teleportation quota will naturally be given to the strongest combatants.

Gu Hang would not put all his expectations on how many people were still alive in the remaining troops on the northern front. For these elite warriors who were teleported to the ground through psychic energy, finding the remaining troops on the northern front was only a secondary task. More importantly, we must first understand the situation in the expected airborne area and try to destroy some air defense nests before the airborne begins; even if it is impossible because there are too few manpower, we must cooperate with the landing army after the airborne begins. Troops, deal with these air defense nests as soon as possible.

However, the situation left by the remnants of the northern front army on the surface is even better than imagined.

Contacting the remnants is not easy.

In the absence of supplies and orbital cover, it is impossible for them to gather large-scale troops and occupy a stable surface base... Otherwise, whether it is the ground attack of the Zerg swarm or the threat of Zerg ships in orbit, they will poses a devastating threat to ground forces.

This also forced the remaining troops on the northern front to hide. They must save their limited supplies as much as possible to avoid unnecessary battles. Once there is a battle, they must use all their strength to eliminate the enemies they witness, and then immediately move away to prevent the insect swarm from following the missing troops. location to track them down.

After hiding, it was difficult for the bugs to find them, but Qin Zhiping was not easy to find either.

However, since he asked Gu Hang to be the first person to land, he naturally had some ideas on how to find the remnants of the northern front troops who were hiding.

He brought a communication device.

When performing psychic teleportation, the equipment you carry with you cannot be too large, otherwise it would be a better choice to replace it with a simple astrology tower.

But having such a communication device is enough.

The channel and password were positioned as a high-security channel dedicated to the Northern Front Army, and then positioned as a more popular channel. The former is to contact the top brass of the remnants of the Northern Front who may have survived, while the latter is trying to expand the search area as much as possible.

Then, one hundred phoenixes and one hundred blood sharks began to prepare for the subsequent large-scale airborne operations. As for Qin Zhiping, under the protection of another two hundred space warriors, he began to move around in a large area, looking for possible remnants of the northern front.

Most of the Space Marines who protected him came from the Black Crusaders under Xi Rui, and the other part were the soldiers of Silver Watch. There are also a few who are elites drawn from various other battle groups.

It makes sense that the Black Crusaders would send so many people down. After all, if the remnants of the northern front army really existed, most of them would be soldiers from the Black Cross. In the first Battle of Rheaducches a year and a half ago, the Black Cross Army was the largest force on the ground. They went down, about fifteen hundred people.

The two search channels Qin Zhiping used had results.

Many people from the remnants of the Northern Front did survive. In the first battle, they laid down tens of millions of soldiers. Although most of them died and not even one in ten survived, there were still millions of people.

Of course, the distribution of these personnel is quite scattered. They are generally found in mountainous areas, in tunnels, and in the underlying ruins of hive cities. Their conditions were extremely difficult, with equipment, food, ammunition...all lacking.

There is no doubt that this is slow death.

But it is better to die slowly than to die quickly.

As long as you live, you may be able to hold on until the situation changes.

For example, right now. Some remaining troops were contacted by Qin Zhiping in this way.

As long as there is such a beginning, then things will become easier to handle. Although these surviving troops dare not take the lead, many of them are related to each other. Once you connect with one, you can connect with many.

Of course, Qin Zhiping couldn't save them.

If you want to live, you can only save yourself.

He shared with these troops the coordinates of the location where the imperial coalition forces would conduct a large-scale airborne landing a few days later.

The method of self-rescue is to move immediately, bring all the equipment and manpower you can, no longer worry about any ammunition consumption, and head towards the area with all your strength.

If they are too far away from the airdrop site, thousands or even thousands of kilometers, then there is no way, no one can save them, unless they can really travel thousands of miles to reach the airdrop area.

But most of them were within a thousand kilometers, or even in this area to begin with, and they became active one by one.

When the coalition forces selected the airborne area, it was basically the same as the airborne area selected by the Northern Front Army during the first battle. On the one hand, this place is indeed suitable. On the other hand, it is also considering that the remnants of the northern front are actually in this area and are most likely to remain.

After receiving the news about Qin Zhiping, these remnants indeed started to move one by one.

If you don't move, you will die.

What's more, this was an order jointly signed by Xi Rui, Gu Hang, and Salisius. The commanders-in-chief of the Northern, Southern and Western Fronts gathered together.

And Qin Zhiping's use of highly confidential communications resulted in a particularly huge result: he contacted Leroy!

The marshal of the Second Fleet of the Black Cross and the real commander-in-chief of the Northern Front is not dead!

In the first battle, Leroy's flagship exploded in a naval battle. After that, he himself disappeared, and Xi Rui took over the responsibility of commander-in-chief.

But in fact, when the ship exploded, Leroy and a small number of his bodyguards boarded the rescue ship, and took advantage of the chaos of the naval battle to run in the opposite direction to the surface of Rheadoches.

This is of course not a good choice. It would definitely be best if he had the opportunity to enter other ships at that time.

But isn’t it impossible?

It was also good luck, and the air defense on the surface of Rheadoches had been relaxed at that time. If any of these two points were not met, Leroy would probably be blown to death while falling to the surface.

And it’s not like Leroy has done nothing in the past year and a half.

On his own, it is impossible to make any changes in the situation in Rheaducches, but there are also some positive aspects.

For example, he contacted various troops and united many of the remaining armies. Under such difficult circumstances, he established a unified command system and prevented the remaining armies from falling into a state of fragmentation.

In particular, a large number of Space Marines were contacted. Although they may not all be by his side, there are at least about 500 people. In addition, there are more than 500 soldiers who can be contacted at any time and assigned tasks.

This is another huge piece of good news.
