Chapter 550: Clearing the Field on Day
Li Yang was quite critical of her overly enthusiastic attitude.
However, it was no secret that the Elderberry team was full of weirdos, so he did not say much.
In comparison, [Sang] was much more calm.
"That's settled." Shang Wentao nodded, and his eyes finally relaxed a lot. "Soon we will arrange a battle supervision operation for you to rush to the front line... Then, let you come and witness it with your own eyes."
...
A few days later, Li Yang got what he wanted and came to the front line of the Blue Star Army.
Naturally, he was also a supervisor.
This was a ground battle on an asteroid. It was rich in a low-density mineral that could be extracted as energy, so it had always been a key point for Dayo and Blue Star to fight for.
Standing on the high watchtower, he could clearly see the gray smoke and explosions in the distance.
Ahead was the front line with the enemy, and the two sides faced each other from a distance, with sporadic exchanges of fire from time to time.
In the distance, several shells drew fiery red trajectories, and the air waves rolled in, causing violent vibrations.
Li Yang ignored it, looked around, and his brows gradually furrowed.
He saw that the entire front-line position was covered with pits and bullet holes, and there were wreckage and broken walls destroyed by artillery fire everywhere.
Even the watchtower beside him was full of traces left by gunfire and rain of bullets.
This was no longer a war, but a tragic scene of destruction.
As he was watching, a violent explosion suddenly came from a distance, followed by a deafening roar of artillery fire!
Li Yang stared at that side, and saw that the positions of both sides were instantly shrouded in thick smoke.
After a few minutes, the smoke gradually dissipated. But at the same time, a strong smell of blood also spread, filling Li Yang's nasal cavity.
Obviously, an extremely fierce close encounter had just taken place.
When the smoke cleared, Li Yang was able to see corpses lying in all directions on the ground in the distance, some of which were even incomplete.
"Tsk..." Li Yang frowned slightly, and his expression became a little serious.
The battle situation here is completely different from that in the rear base.
There is no problem with logistics for the time being, but the front battlefield is extremely tragic.
The soldiers on the Blue Star side have almost no ability to fight back against the black technology of the Sun Civilization, such as orbital bombing.
At this time, a soldier-like person behind him walked quickly and explained to Li Yang:
"Report to the war supervisor, this is an encounter between our main force and the enemy."
"At present, both sides are retreating step by step. The opponent's key ships have been removed by us, but our casualties are also very heavy..."
Heavy casualties...
The current situation is not what can be described as heavy casualties.
The Sun Civilization has a small number of people, but they are well-equipped and have high combat power.
In the case of direct combat, the casualty ratio with the Blue Star troops is about one to five.
It takes five Blue Star soldiers to replace one person on the opposite side.
It is obvious that this is not a long-term solution.
Facing the energy weapons of the Sun Civilization, the old mechas and live ammunition weapons on the Blue Star side can only serve as a decoration.
The reason is very simple.
The production capacity on the Blue Star side is insufficient and the number of people is large.
High-tech equipment cannot cover all, and only those old things that have participated in decades or even hundreds of years of battles can be used.
Even the regular army has fallen into a situation where there are no weapons available.
Although the overall situation has not yet shown a big disadvantage, the five-for-one tactic will definitely have a great impact on morale.
[Boss, how did you get to the front line? ]
[People as capable as you usually get promoted in the rear, drink red tea, cross their legs, and raise their fingers casually, and you can make meritorious deeds, right? 】
Li Yang suddenly thought of what Chun said to him when he first met the Elderberry Team.
Is this the current situation on Blue Star?
Li Yang turned around silently and walked towards the rear headquarters.
Shang Wentao naturally wanted to win the war.
But if it goes on like this, it is probably very difficult.
If you want to make changes, it is not enough to cheer up the soldiers on the front line.
The rear of the battlefield is where rectification is needed.
At this moment, a deafening artillery sound suddenly came from the distance!
Li Yang subconsciously raised his head and saw a black meteor falling from the sky with a dazzling light, smashing towards the battlefield where the two sides were fighting!
"This is... [Sunfall]!"
"Oh no! Supervising officer! Come with me!"
The soldier next to him saw this and his face turned pale.
Then he hurriedly said, pulling Li Yang to the nearest trench.
The soldiers next to him also had expressions of fear on their faces.
Looking at the black tail, it was as if he had seen the god of death.
Li Yang had never seen such a thing before, but from the panicked voices of the people around him, he roughly understood what it was.
This was a terrifying killing weapon that had been wreaking havoc on the front line of Blue Star for hundreds of years. It was a weapon developed by the Sun Civilization by directly reverse-developing the divine power of the goddess of death.
It had the power to easily destroy the entire population of a country!
This time, it fell from the sky again and fiercely bombarded the center of the battlefield!
At the same time, a sharp alarm sounded over the base, and countless people began to run wildly, scrambling to find shelter!
Li Yang narrowed his eyes and watched coldly as the black meteor fell with the power of destruction and hit the ground with a bang!
In an instant, a mushroom cloud of smoke rose above the battlefield in front, and the heat wave rolled in, burning all the creatures on the ground to ashes!
The entire battlefield was shrouded in dazzling light, and then a terrifying shock wave swept across the eight directions.
In the case of an emergency defense barrier in the rear, the huge impact force still made Li Yang almost fall.
"Damn it, how many of these things do they have?"
"Captain! Damn, my captain is still in front!"
"That's the main force of our army!"
"The beasts of the Sun, they can't even run away with this one! Are they crazy?"
The crowd was bustling, and all kinds of curses and wails were heard.
The main force of nearly a thousand people was bombarded by a black meteor from the opposite side, leaving not even a slag.
As the smoke dissipated, a chilling mess was revealed.
The landing ships of the Sun Civilization appeared again in the sky, densely packed, like locusts passing through.
Clear the battlefield without distinguishing between friend and foe, and then the follow-up troops will take over and wipe out the remaining main forces.
This is the classic tactic of the Sun Civilization, but it has been tried and tested.
...
On the starship of the Sun Civilization.
A slender and fair-skinned female officer was sitting in the command position of the bridge, holding her chin and watching the scene in front of her with interest.
