Him and their stars.

Chapter 31

"First of all, it must be affirmed that this is a glorious victory, an epic victory, and a victory that may become the beginning of a legend. In the near future, if you and your successors become the undefeated iron army across the galaxy, this victory will It will definitely become the beginning of all glorious history. You will also have a place in the annals of history."

Yu Lian's words made the soldiers a little embarrassed. They didn't have the ambition to go down in history, but it was a great honor to be praised like this.

"Of course, I still have a little bit of immature advice here. I hope everyone will choose the timing of the charge carefully when fighting in the future. If you can shoot all the opponents to death, why do you use the axe? Oh, Baka, I didn't slap you. I also understand that this is what the infantry drills teach. But I need everyone to understand the purpose of the battle. This time it is a rout battle, not a siege battle. In fact, hundreds of people on the other side have lizard rides. It’s unrealistic to want to encircle and destroy yourself, but then you have to protect yourself more carefully. Well, in general, it’s the same sentence. We won and saved thousands of ordinary citizens. Everyone is worthy of your military status. , worthy of the coat of arms of the Blue Star Shield on your arms!" Yu Lian clapped his hands, stood up in the eyes of everyone's admiration, and began to arrange tasks.

"Uncle Carl, Dr. Banks, you take people down the hill to meet the commoners, and take them to the valley we found earlier. Yes, it's spacious and secluded enough for everyone to hide. Barca, Maintain the order of everyone, but pay attention to the methods and methods, so as not to frighten the children. Ping...Miss Nurse, you can follow along too, and make sure to appease everyone."

"Youyou, Luer, you two go to camp. Yes, over the valley, set up a guard post in advance."

"Communication soldier? Is the communication soldier there? Yes, it's you. Find a high point and continue to call Tulong on shortwave. Remember to use the military secret channel!"

"Ina, go check out the enemy with me! Oh, by the way, don't forget to paint two stars on your tank."

"I'm not going to be a tanker," replied Miss Sergeant Major.

After all this was arranged, Yu Lian and Yina, the two first and second commanders of the entire army, and the only two psionicists set off.Of course he didn't know, because he didn't see his "Supreme Commander" for the first time, and a member of the Congressman was extremely dissatisfied, but even if he knew about it, he probably wouldn't care.

The psionicist wearing the power armor quickly crossed a mountain and knew a fairly hidden place.They could already see the urban area of ​​Tulong in the distance, the huge helipad of the central universe port, and the city shield generator that looked like a skyscraper.

However, we can also see the densely layered sand man barracks on the periphery of the city, like termite nests.

Those do look a lot like large ant nests.You must know that Xinyumen is a mountainous and arid planet. The surface water covers less than [-]%, and the vegetation is even scarcer. Of course, the groundwater is quite sufficient. Sand people have the means to quickly stick mud and gravel into nests.They also really like the living environment wrapped in mud, which can evoke the memory of the evolution of life.

Yina looked over, but saw that the sand people's lair densely surrounded Tulong Harbor on three sides - and the other side was the inland sea - which was not leaking.The area of ​​its camp is really too vast, and it is derived out of his sight.

She could even see that many sand people had pushed up high mounds in the camp and worked endlessly around them.It was planting a local crop called sand potato in Xinyumen, which is the staple food source of the sand people; its high planting piles are also accompanied by a large number of insects and earthworms, which are also an important source of protein for them.

Of course, there are a lot of "normal" level fields, and most of the high-yielding crops from alien planets have already sprouted, and only genetically adjusted crops can grow like this.Just looking at this scene, if there are no supporters behind the sand people, a fool would believe it.

Obviously, the sand people have made plans to besiege the city for a long time.Those huge camps were not so much military camps as they were giant monsters brought together by thousands of sand people settlements, absurd, bizarre, twisted, but at this scale, it was shocking and terrifying.

"I thought the so-called more than one million was just a claim..." Ina was indeed shocked.

To be precise, three days later, on October 829, 10, the total force of the siege would reach more than 18 million.In the age of cold weapons, no civilization or political system has such organizational power, but the sand people did.On the one hand, it is because they have behind-the-scenes support, and on the other hand, they do have heroes who came into being.

Everyone who fights for racial dignity and independence is a hero and deserves respect, but unfortunately, he is the enemy of mankind after all...

Thinking of this, Yu Lian became a little disillusioned, and sighed silently: "...Forget it, facing an enemy of this scale, we have nothing to do now. We can only see if we can get in touch with Tulong. Go back first. Bar."

"Wise judgment." Ina agreed.She is the staff sergeant of the team, brave, but not reckless.

In fact, of course there is a way.Not to mention more than one million, even if it is ten times more, that is, orbital bombardment for a few minutes, but now there are no warships capable of orbital bombing in the port of Tulong and on the orbit of the planet.This is because the community is also a member of the "Andromeda Galaxy Joint Development Treaty" and the "Andromeda Galaxy Limitation of Military Expansion Treaty". In this new continent-like galaxy, there is no strong standing fleet.

In fact, the entire community has only six destroyers and twelve assault ships in the Andromeda Galaxy, which are completely used to deal with pirates and smugglers.Moreover, the permanent residence has been at the 14th star port of Lushun, which is at least 7 days' voyage from Tulong.

There is no problem with bombing in the atmosphere.But government money is not money, right?Who would think of equipping the garrison with low-altitude combat aircraft!Don't you know that this low-air force aircraft that can be replaced by orbital bombing has very few places to produce it?If you really want equipment, it's not the price of weapons, but the price of imitation antique handicrafts!
Besides, who is it equipped to deal with?Aboriginal sand people?Ahahahahahahahaha!

Before the army of millions of sand people gathered, everyone must have laughed so happily.

Transportation airships and drones can of course also perform attack missions, but the former are too clumsy and the latter too fragile.More importantly, the sand people now even have tanks. Will there be no anti-aircraft weapons?

"With such a small number of people, it really has nothing to do with the overall situation. We can only wait for the opportunity." Yu Lian planned to return to the temporary camp.

This is a valley where everyone came out of the relics of the enlightened ones, climbed over the mountains, and found a valley in the middle of the mountain. The outside is full of wind and sand, but the inside is quite humid and warm. There are springs and grasslands, and the place is large enough to be concealed and easy to defend. Attack is naturally a good place to camp and repair.

He had just come in when he saw Dr. Banks greet him with an embarrassed expression.

"Sir, this... um, how is the enemy's situation?"

"Wait for the contact with the headquarters. We can't expect the exhausted remnants of our No. [-] people to attack the enemy's army of millions, right?"

"This, this..." The doctor's face was blushing for a while, he hesitated for a while, and whispered: "This, I have to tell you something, you must not be angry..."

The doctor's words were interrupted by a slightly overly enthusiastic and slightly exaggerated voice: "You are Warrant Officer Yu Lian, right? You are really young and promising!"

Yu Lian responded, and what caught his eye was a forty-five- or six-year-old Asian man with a medium build, elegant and easy-going, and personable. Although his smile was a bit deliberate, it was considered amiable for the time being. middle-aged uncle.

Well, I'm sure I've seen it, someone I don't know.However, among the group of people over there, there is a guy who is a little familiar.That blasted bronze hair was too conspicuous.

In other words, it is not familiarity, but the feeling in the dark makes people feel a little familiar.

The bronze-haired guy seemed to feel something, turned his head, and began to look at Yu Lian and Ina with interest.

Well, the face is confirmed again.Although he is much younger, he is indeed that guy!

As Yu Lian continued to observe secretly, he looked at the middle-aged uncle in front of him who might be considered a big man, and gave him a military salute: "Hello, Community Warrant Officer Yu Lian, may I ask who you are..."

The middle-aged uncle showed a very unpleasant look for a moment, like saying "I'm famous, but you don't know me", but he soon smiled again and held Yu Lian's hand, shaking it vigorously: "With an excellent officer like you, we can rest assured."

"Miss Jiang Yudong! He is very prestigious in the colonial council." The doctor lowered his voice behind Yu Lian.

"Oh... Mr. Senator, are you all shocked? I'm sorry, I'm late." Yu Lian continued to speak his bitter diplomatic rhetoric, rolling his eyes constantly.

Ina behind her was already rolling her eyes.

Then again, it is normal for a semi-military area like a colony to have a parliament.The halo of democracy and freedom must be more important than practical problems. This is the foundation of the Blue Star Community and the people on earth!

"It's not too late, thanks to you, no one of us was injured. It all depends on the wisdom and bravery of you and your comrades!" When it comes to diplomatic rhetoric and diplomatic demeanor, Mr. Senator is more proficient than Yu Lian. .

"However, you can also see that there are too many old and weak women and children here, all ordinary civilians who have given up their property and homes to take refuge in Tulong. They are tired, worried, and many are still injured. As their representative Members of Congress, I really can't bear to see them sleeping outside. And as a soldier, you should feel the same way as me, right?"

"Uh, sorry, Mr. Senator... Please speak directly."

"I mean, do you have a way to escort us into the city?"
