Chapter 849, Attacking the Camp!
The river started to become dangerous when the creatures in the wilderness started to change as well.
In earlier years, there were still people who went down to the river to catch fish, but nowadays, those who fished had to be careful, in case the fish wasn’t held securely, they might get their fingers bitten off by a bite from an omnivorous fish.
Kong’s fishing industry was very well developed because it was on the east side of the sea, but in the last few years, the industry had rapidly declined. It wasn’t that the fish weren’t sold anymore, but it was simply impossible to go out to sea.
At this time, the barbarians in the north did not know what kind of animal’s knuckle bone they had taken, but they were able to make that group of ferocious fish all scatter, and it looked like this was a backhand that they had prepared long ago.
The Green Rock River was the main river within the Boulder Mountain, and was oriented in the north-west and south-east, in order to pass through this river, the Fire Seed had even specially built a sturdy arch-shaped bridge.
And now, this Green Rock River was the source of water for P5092’s main force to get water, and the nearest riverbank to the camp was just three hundred meters away.
When P5092 ordered the main force to launch an attack on Longtan Canyon, the entire Fire Seed main force camp became empty, without the lively scene of the past, from the outside, it even felt a bit cold.
It took several days for the main force to force the barbarians into Longtan Canyon, and now it was the time to harvest the fruits, P5092 almost sent out the cooking class in order to make sure that the main force could complete the crushing encirclement of the barbarians, so when the dawn came, no one noticed that the danger was approaching.
Outside Longtan Canyon, the mortars of the Spark Troops had already made their final adjustments and aiming, while the passages that could enter and exit the canyon had all been built with temporary fortifications, and the roads were sealed by heavy machine guns.
In this way, the Fire Seed Troopers could ensure that absolutely not a single barbarian could leave the canyon alive.
The frontline commander reported to P5092 through the communication device, “Sir, all deployments have been completed, and we are now waiting for the scout company to confirm the number of barbarians in the canyon.”
“Call the reconnaissance company back, then just open fire, cover the entire canyon with firepower and plow through the inside first,” P5092 said calmly from the command vehicle in the camp.
It’s not like the mortar shells were worth anything, they just couldn’t locate the barbarians in the mountains before before they didn’t use the thing, and what they were doing these days wasn’t to gather all the barbarians together and then use the artillery fire to kill them all in one fell swoop.
Long Tan Canyon wasn’t very large, so it wasn’t very difficult to conduct fire coverage.
Of course, there would still be quite a few barbarians that would survive after the fire coverage, but then the fighting strength of these people would have plummeted as well.
The next moment, the frontline commander hung up his communication device and then directly ordered the mortar unit, “Open fire, conduct full area fire coverage!”
This time, what the barbarians were facing was no longer the small-scale hunting and killing that they did when they were guerrillas, but the powerful thermal weapons that the Central Plains people really relied on!
The sound of explosions in the canyon was mixed with screams and roars, only at this moment did the frontline command let go of their hearts, before the reconnaissance company didn’t penetrate the canyon the reconnaissance program was stopped, so the fire troops weren’t sure if the barbarians were really in there or not.
Although the plan is very meticulous, P5092 has commanded the troops step by step to blockade the entire mountain field, but before getting a conclusive answer, no one dares to really 100% guarantee that they really forced the barbarians into the canyon.
As long as there is still a 1% chance that there will be an accident, then there is still a change for the real war.
And now, the frontline commanders could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
When the artillery fire gradually stopped, the frontline commander immediately ordered the infantry regiment to enter the canyon and complete the final harvest.
The infantry regiment put on their gas masks, and afterward, they used their grenade launchers to shoot a large amount of tear gas into the canyon, and only then did they begin to break through.
The canyon was filled with a faint white smoke, and the Spark Soldiers plunged headlong into the canyon in a tight formation.
However, the infantry regiment had just gone in for thirty minutes when an apprehensive report immediately rang out over the communication channel, “The number of barbarians is not right, there are only a hundred or so barbarians here!”
The frontline commander frowned, “Confirmed?”
“Confirmed, the barbarians that survived the artillery fire in the canyon have all been captured, according to the information given by the scouting sequence earlier, there should clearly be around three hundred in this canyon, but there are only a hundred or so here.”
“Direct interrogation!” The frontline commander roared over the communication channel, “Directly interrogate them right here in the canyon and ask them where the others are!”
But at this moment, a barbarian with his arms bound kneeled on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood as he sneered, “You don’t even want your home in order to capture us?”
The officer of the infantry regiment immediately screamed in his heart that it was not good, and he shouted over the communication channel, “I’m afraid the barbarians are raiding our camp! Sir, is it time to return to reinforcement?”
The frontline commander’s face changed, and he yelled at the correspondent, “Connect me to the command vehicle!”
But the correspondent shook his head, “I can’t connect! There’s no response from there!”
……
Outside the camp, hundreds of barbarians climbed up the river bank as if they were water ghosts, they looked towards the camp which was nearly three hundred meters away, then shook the water stains from the huge axes in their hands.
The leader of the barbarians sneered, “Charge, the Expeditionary Corps will remember you, and when the general builds a palace on the land of the Central Plains, your names will be engraved on the stone monument at the entrance of the palace.”
With that, he suddenly shouted, “Long live the Expeditionary Corps! Charge!”
In the next moment, hundreds of water ghost-like barbarians ran wildly, their heavy footsteps stamping out a sound like war drums on the riverbank.
For ordinary people, a three hundred meter sprint would probably take around forty seconds, while for these barbarians, ten seconds would be enough to arrive.
Ten seconds, for a war that could last for months or years, was as short as an instant.
The barbarians were already thinking about how they would kill all the soldiers in this camp, and, they would be the first advance unit in the expeditionary corps to kill the senior commanding officers of the Fire Seed!
The leader of the barbarians rushed even faster, amongst a group of beasts, it was as if he was like the strongest leader, his physical qualities were obviously tougher.
The next moment directly in front of them suddenly lit up blinding searchlights, the barbarians to arm shield the blinding light, vaguely can also see a thirty-year-old officer is standing in the camp, the other side neatly with a military cap and stand with his hands, this person is exactly the barbarians most want to kill P5092.
And in front of P5092, there was a heavy machine gun position formed by dozens of soldiers.
P5092 laughed aloud and said, ”All of you came all the way here, and we as landlords didn’t prepare any gifts, so it’s really rude. However, I can send you all a surprise.”
The barbarian leader froze for a moment, looking at the other party’s appearance he should have expected them to attack the camp ah!
