Traveling through the infinite wasteland

"Rafl, you misunderstood." Ye realized that he had not told Rafal the good news yet. He had only told some of the people in charge before, but had not conveyed it to the entire base, so he hurriedly explained: " Our time is not as tight as we thought. We have received the latest news that the imperial troops will not be able to launch operations against us that would threaten the base defense within three days due to the resistance organizations in the rear."

Raffl's somewhat excited expression immediately became more excited, and he grabbed Ye and said, "Really? Sir, do we have three days?"

"Yeah." Ye didn't understand why the lieutenant was so excited.

"Great, this way our engineers will have enough time to set up a remote-controlled night zone in front of the base that will make the Imperial mecha troops depressed. Originally, I thought that after building the turret, there would be no time to set up the night zone." Ravel realized that his behavior was a bit rude, and he withdrew his hand embarrassedly, but his tone still revealed a lot of excitement.

In fact, the remote-controlled Earth Night is no longer a weapon commonly used by the coalition forces. Although some of them are remotely controlled and have the function of identifying friend or foe, the identification device on this cheap weapon is as bad as its value indicates. The miscalculation rate of about 1% makes both the Federation and the Empire unwilling to use this weapon on a large scale when there is a possibility of counterattack. After all, no one wants their own land to be blown up when they counterattack. If you want to use artillery to line up at night, it will take a lot of time. On the other hand, some resistance organizations that use jeeps as their main combat platform have been using Diye, because even if these very light vehicles hit the anti-mecha Diye, they are unlikely to trigger the fuse and cause an explosion.

At this time, the Federation will not be able to launch a normal offensive within three months, and it is impossible for a large-scale mecha guerrilla operation to occur within a month. In this situation, it is perfect to deploy the Earth Night Formation on the front line, which gives the imperial troops a headache. Let the imperial artillery, which is originally small in number, slowly line up for the night.

"What a good idea, Rafael." Ye knows the role of the inner night, the night formation in front of Emma. Didn't they just let the attacking troops line up for nearly an hour at night? You must know that this hour is the time to delay when Qiao Jia will prepare a large-scale night queue. Moreover, the original width and depth of the Empire Nightclub were relatively narrow and shallow to take care of the retreating troops, which was far less than the desert in front of the 209 base now. In addition, burying the ground in the land is far less easy than burying the ground in the desert. So Ye and Lafleur were equally confident in giving a great welcome gift to the imperial troops trying to attack Base 209.

Ye immediately found Captain Guy, who was already greeting the soldiers who had completed their work to clean up the construction site, and asked: "Captain Guy, I would like to know how many anti-mechas we have in stock in our base?"

Captain Guy habitually pushed his heavy eyes, opened a small book he carried with him, and after searching for a while, he replied: "Sir, there are a total of 586 anti-mecha missiles in our base warehouse. Anti-tank night. 181. Anti-infantry night, 287.”

"Why are there so many anti-mecha Ye?" Ye was shocked by the number reported by Guy.

Guy said matter-of-factly: "These anti-Mecha Nights were captured by the Empire from us. We originally had more than 500 Anti-Mecha Nights in stock in each transit base. This was also the result of the Empire's Are you forcing it? Once the order to retreat is issued from above, the base commander will spread these areas around the entire base. Please read the full text. But this time the empire’s autumn offensive is too fast. Many bases They were captured before they had time to make final arrangements, but that's good, it's an advantage for us now. It must be considered unlucky for some of the Imperial soldiers. All the supplies were destroyed, except for the remaining land. Now they have to fight for Their negligence has paid the price." Those who can become captains will not be able to understand the meaning of Ye Lianye, especially the logistics captain who has been in charge of military equipment. Guy directly guessed that Ye was going to use some land to surprise the imperial troops.

"Sir, let's do it tonight. I don't want to delay it until tomorrow night. And the night's work is not tiring. My boys can definitely do it well." Raffl immediately requested on the side. You can only work at night in the desert. If you work under the sun in the morning, it will definitely be unbearable. We can't let the logistics people drive trucks to deliver ice outside, and the mechas can't use sunshades to shade the engineers, so they can only choose to bury them at night.

"Okay, I agree. But let your soldiers wear more clothes. I don't want to see a group of cold guys when I wake up tomorrow morning. Also, keep enough manpower. Otherwise, if you put up a watchtower tomorrow, there will be no one. ." Ye nodded and agreed to Lafleur's request. The sooner Di Ye buries this thing. The harder it is to see the traces.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the four leaders handed their plans to Ye who was doing nothing in the command room. Then the four people retreated and went to an officer's lounge next door to start sorting out the plan narrative draft that would be used in the briefing later. Ye Ye also took advantage of the hour before the meeting to briefly browse the plan.

The meeting in the evening can be said to be very simple. First, Ye announced the exciting good news, which caused a burst of cheers in the briefing room, and then Ye handed everything over to the four persons in charge. The tasks assigned by the four officers to each day of the week were tasks that a single unit could handle. Considering the ample time, most of the most important plans for the first three days set each soldier's working time between eight and ten hours a day, ensuring that the soldiers could stay energetic at all times.

Such a relaxed arrangement made the officers who had just been happy with the good news of the night become anxious. In their opinion, a sixteen-hour work schedule per day may not be necessary, but at least it should be maintained at about twelve hours a day. Working hours, so as to better establish the defense of the base.

Regarding the opinions of some officers, Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly and went up to the podium and said: "Actually, I also want to build a stronger defense quickly, but we don't have enough materials. With our current inventory, we can only support three Ten hours of work a day, the missing parts can only wait for Tris's air force to transport them to us. But even excluding the material factors, we have no more open space to build defense facilities. This 209 base warehouse The materials in it can almost support us in setting up defenses in some places in the base where defense facilities can be built. In fact, we are quite lucky. If the imperial commander had not ordered most of the supplies to be destroyed, then the supply troops last night would not have brought us We have sufficient resources. Maybe they won’t come.”

Ye's words caused a burst of laughter from the officers below. This unfortunate incident of having his warehouse destroyed became a blessing in disguise in Ye's words. After laughing, some officers asked some trivial things. Naturally, there was no need for Ye to worry about this kind of thing. The four responsible persons below came on stage one by one to explain the doubts of the officers, while Ye was enjoying himself at one side, holding a glass of drink and acting as the audience.

After the meeting, Raphael hurried out of the briefing room to organize the night task, but was pulled by Ye Yi. He looked at Ye with some confusion, wondering why Ye suddenly pulled him.

"Rafl, I'll go take a look with you." Ye Ke had never seen Buye before. Earth Night was useless when in space, but when Emma was there, she encountered Empire Night and arranged night on her own side. Now I finally had the opportunity to see how Ye Ye was decorated, and Ye Ye, whose curiosity was aroused, naturally asked to follow.

"No problem, sir. Wear an extra piece of clothing. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the base." Ravel saw that Ye was wearing autumn combat uniform, so he raised the winter combat uniform in his hand. He indicated that Ye should at least wear thick clothes to withstand the cold wind outside the base.

"Okay." Logistics Captain Guy hadn't left yet, and Ye easily got a winter coat from him. In less than five minutes. A support staff ran into the building and handed the clothes to Ye who was waiting there.

At the gate of Base 209, there are only sixteen heavy trucks in the entire base parked. These guys' cargo bays are filled with huge chunks of earth. More than thirty engineers were already sitting in Warthog jeeps waiting for night to arrive. With the help of some logistics personnel, these soldiers spent more than three hours between the break after the meal and the end of the meeting to inspect these huge weapons one by one to ensure that the performance of these weapons against the enemy was not good. Such a fuse can work normally.

"Go." After Ye climbed onto his Warthog, Raffl gave the departure order through the communicator. They were going to bury nearly 600 anti-mecha missiles in front of the base tonight to form a base defense. the first barrier.

Tonight, the moon in the desert still did not show its face, which virtually added some difficulties to Buye, but these difficulties did not stump the engineers who had many crooked ideas. These guys just set the flares on fire. Then put it in a container like a hot air balloon and let this thing float at a certain height. In this way, with the assistance of night vision devices, a large area can be illuminated. It is really a standard artificial moon.

"We can still work without Javier's help, sir." Sitting in the car and watching the balloon rise slowly, Ravel said proudly to Ye. Javier is the satellite of Capital Star, what people call the moon on the ground. Among the five planets that can be colonized, only the Capital Planet has a satellite like the Earth.

Ye pointed at the balloon floating in the air and said, "Rafleur, how long can the flare in this balloon last?"

"If it reaches the brightness that supports night vision goggles, this thing can last for about fifteen minutes. Sir, we connected a box of twenty lighting rods in series with leads, so that the leads can act as a delayed excitation. Ten lighting rods can provide sufficient support for four to five hours." Raffl said as he took out a box from the back of the car and opened the lid to let Ye see it.

The box contains the things that the engineers put in the balloon. The lighting rods are wrapped in fireproof cloth, and the heads of these cloths are connected to a lead. Ye curiously picked up a lighting rod and gently opened the fireproof cloth, revealing the lighting rod body wrapped in a small amount of explosives.

Seeing the confused look from Ye Ye, Lafleur explained: "The amount of these explosives is very small. When they explode, they will not cause the lighting rods to spontaneously ignite. They are just used to blow up some fireproof cloths inside. What really activates the flares is A night tube under the front lead, and the light rod, once exhausted, excites the lead tied to the tail, which excites the next one.”

"It's a very good thing." Ye Zhongxin wrapped the fireproof cloth and said, "I don't know if you still have this kind of thing here. I have some use for it."

"Sir, we can have as much as you need." Raffl said with a smile, "There are still a lot of plastic films in the base, and there is also a lot of nitrogen in the balloons. As for the lighting rods, there are even more."

Ye raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the material for making this lighting balloon was so simple, so he said politely: "Can we get out enough balloons to cover a kilometer in front of the entire base before the night after tomorrow? This thing is used to prevent Night attack is really useful.”

Raffl patted his chest and said loudly: "No problem, sir. Tomorrow we only need to erect three watchtowers and there will be nothing else we have to do. Just dig trenches and pile sandbags." Let the infantrymen do the unskilled work. We will hide in the warehouse and concentrate on making balloons during our spare time."

"Then please. Find Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan.com Last time we were lucky and accidentally cracked the empire's night attack. Otherwise, this base might not be safe. Fortunately, the empire collapsed last night. That elite force made the imperial commander make up his mind to settle down first and not be able to send more troops to the front line, otherwise some imperial troops might come back tonight." Ye said with some emotion. The coffee cup of the soldier who cracked the imperial night attack last night was called a magical magic cup by some of the infantrymen. It was enshrined in a room by some good people and was no longer allowed to be used by the sentry.

In the desert, the engineers who had successfully raised the lighting balloon began to bury the ground. The soldiers worked in groups of four, opened the cargo door of the truck, and laid down the slide rails specially made by the engineers. Three soldiers raised their sapper shovels and began to dig holes in the sand. The other three soldiers pointed the end of the slide rail at the sand pit, then climbed onto the truck and slid a piece of land along the slide rail into the pit. The three soldiers on the ground opened Diye's safety device. With a click, dozens of long metal sensors popped up around Diye. These things not only expanded Diye's sensing range, but also Reduce the impact of dune movement on ground night position. After confirming that the underground night was activated, the soldier gently covered it with sand again. After confirming again that no traces could be seen, he called the truck driver to drive to the next burial point.

With the help of eight balloons, sixteen trucks began to bury the night in a parallel manner at high speed. These nights could cover most of the area on the left side in front of the base. In other words, it only took three runs to cover all the nights. (To be continued)
