End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 223: The situation in the north, feint attack and diversion, I will be the main force!

At 10:30 in the evening, Lin Feng led a group of people and followed the guiding soldiers at the door of the apartment to the combat meeting room in the air force base.

At this moment, there was not only General Chen who had been waiting for a long time, but also several school-level second-level awakeners. However, after feeling the strength of Lin Feng and others, they all sat up straight.

After all, among this group of more than 30 people, except for ten commanders of the combat corps who are only at the late first stage, the strength of the remaining twenty or so people are all at the late second stage.

Especially the few people headed by City Lord Lin, ordinary second-stage early awakeners cannot sense their strength level at all.

When the difference in strength between the two sides exceeds three times or even more, if the strong one does not actively release his aura, the weak one will not be able to accurately sense the strength of the other party.

However, it is obvious that General Chen has already reminded these newly promoted second-level commanders present that they need to remain low-key and humble in front of the Salvation Army.

In name, the two sides were only engaged in support cooperation this time, but the actual situation was that the Federation had no choice but to beg the latter to come to help.

Therefore, even to notify this meeting, General Chen had to come in person to make the announcement.

As Lin Feng and others took their seats one after another, they gathered in the back row of the huge combat conference room. The guards on both sides immediately turned off the lights.

In the dim light, a staff officer turned on the projector, and a high-definition map of the entire federal capital was projected onto the screen.

It clearly marks the locations of all high-level queens in the north, as well as the size and distribution range of the insect swarms under their command.

It seems that although the federal top leaders are unable to break the impasse, they are still quite strong in collecting intelligence information.

Although their strength is insufficient, their combat system is still in place and they can easily deal with this kind of war involving millions of people.

As long as the intelligence data is accurate, Lin Feng is confident that he can lead his second-level battle group to quickly eliminate those lone third-level early-stage queen mothers.

This way, we can not only complete the tasks assigned by the military, but also take the opportunity to enhance our strength, killing two birds with one stone.

As the current situation of the capital's defense war gradually became clear with the introduction of the staff, Lin Feng began to communicate in a low voice with the people around him, including Long Yi, Shen Jie, and Liu Yi.

Now, whether the federal leaders are willing to admit it or not...

The reality is that the defense plan has completely failed.

This is not to say that the resistance in the capital city has been wiped out, but that after the Zerg completed the encirclement and blockade of both land and air lines, the cost for the Federation to provide logistical support to the capital is constantly rising.

In order to provide supplies to the soldiers and civilians defending the city, the Air Force has lost more than half of its transport planes, and smuggling by land will be detected and intercepted by the ubiquitous Zerg.

Such heavy losses and consumption caused complaints from the rear safety areas.

The supplies that should have been used to rescue a large number of refugees were also wasted in this battle to defend the capital, which had far more symbolic significance than practical use.

However, the boiling public resentment is not the fundamental reason why various forces dare to oppose it.

The main reason was that the front line kept demanding supplies, but the base in the rear did not get the expected returns.

For example, the dawn of victory in the defense of the capital, and the live insect spoils promised by the front line to be shipped back to the rear.

Therefore, after realizing that victory is hopeless, all forces must jump out of this sinking federal ship in advance, so as not to bury their remaining potential in this doomed defense battle.

It happened that at this time the South had good news that the establishment of the Jincheng Base and the Salvation Army provided another way out for the major forces in the rear.

That is to personally form his own team of awakened people and return to the coastal front to fight.

From then on, they no longer relied on the federation and embarked on their own independent path.

As the war situation in the north continued to deteriorate, the only thing left for the federal leaders was to minimize the losses as the defense strategy had already failed...

Rescue the millions of survivors and hundreds of thousands of soldiers trapped by the Zerg as soon as possible.

Only when more people are saved, will the Federation's position and voice in the post-apocalyptic era become more secure.

Especially the hundreds of thousands of trapped soldiers, most of whom have become awakened ones and genetic warriors. Only by rescuing this precious force first can the Federation avoid being in name only.

This is why the top leaders would go to the South to ask for support and cooperation from the Salvation Army at all costs to ensure the smooth implementation of this breakout and rescue plan.

The breakout plan projected on the screen at this moment was actually formulated a week ago.

The only shortcoming of the deployment is in the southwest direction. The troops responsible for the feint attack and containment must have the strength to hold back the three queens.

Only the Salvation Army led by Lin Feng can accomplish this.

As the staff officer began to explain the Salvation Army's actions, Lin Feng and the others also roughly understood the content and target requirements of their missions:
According to observations and statistics from the frontline soldiers and the defenders in the capital, there are currently four mid-stage third-order queen mothers surrounding the capital, stationed in the four main positions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest.

As the main force surrounding the capital, the mid-stage queen has led her swarm of insects to the front line and has been harassing the defenders in the city for the past half month.

They are closing in step by step, devouring the human survivors.

In the four remote locations of the outer circle, namely the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest, two to three third-order early queen mothers are stationed to guard them.

In order to prevent the defenders in the city from breaking out together.

Because to the northwest of the federal capital are plateau hills with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. Not only is the soil there dry and hard, but the environment is also extremely poor.

There is only a thin layer of grass within a thousand miles, which is suitable for grazing horses and sheep. Beyond that, there is only a vast desert.

Therefore, the Zerg on the west and north sides are concentrated, and their control over territory and the scale of swarm development are weaker than those on the southeast side.

Therefore, the northwest became the best direction for the capital's defenders to break out.

But this is a breakout and migration of tens or even millions of people. Even if there are sufficient vehicles and fuel, it will take at least a day to evacuate everyone.

The close connection between the Zerg queens will ensure that they will be informed of the situation and come to support when the general breakout attack begins.

After breaking out of the ground, the queen mother can directly control the entire insect swarm, swarming out at a speed of ten kilometers per hour, and quickly form a new encirclement and interception.

As for the troops outside the encirclement, they could barely hold back three early queen mothers. If they added the strong strength of the internal defenders, the chances of successfully breaking out in one direction would not be low...

But in advance, there must be an elite force responsible for containing the several queen mothers coming to support from the southwest.

Judging from the time span of this breakout mission, at least three or more Queen Mothers will be able to arrive. Even the Stage 3 Mid-stage Queen Mother near the capital may break out of the ground just to bite the evacuating defenders.

Therefore, the task assigned to the Salvation Army is extremely arduous.

After the staff officer finished his introduction, General Chen said solemnly:

"In fact, we just need to hold them off. Judging from City Lord Lin's crushing victory in the western part of Wucheng, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"If it's really troublesome, we can apply for nuclear weapons support, or delay them for half a day. First, ensure that the soldiers in the capital are evacuated, and then find a way to confront the Zerg."

While the staff was introducing the task, Lin Feng was also discussing the feasibility of this task with his team members.

Long Yi nodded silently, Shen Jie agreed with both hands, and finally Liu Yi and several other regiment leaders thought that the Salvation Army should take the lead and turn the feint attack into the main battlefield. They had to kill a high-level queen mother in the encirclement before the breakout operation was launched to attract the attention of the other queen mothers.

Only in this way can the war spread to the southwest.

Lin Feng also felt that it made sense. After all, the real purpose of their coming here was to continue hunting high-level queen mothers.

The so-called support and containment are all side effects.

Hearing General Chen's question, Lin Feng agreed without much thought:
"According to your breakout plan, the action will not begin until tomorrow afternoon. I can guarantee that the several early-stage third-order queen mothers in the southwest will not rush to the northwest area. However, in addition to this, I have another request..."

General Chen breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in order to stop the three queens, he would have to send at least three reinforced divisions and 10 to troops from the entire army group, and % of them had to be awakened.

And the number of second-level awakeners cannot be less than fifty, otherwise the second-level insect swarm under the Queen Mother's command can instantly tear apart the human blocking line with a group charge.

The remaining troops that the Federation can currently mobilize are unable to support a two-front war.

In the northwest alone, the troop deployment of the capital's defenders to support the internal breakout is already stretched to the limit, so the Savior Army is needed to intercept the Zerg Queen who is coming to support from the southwest.

Hearing that Lin Feng had other conditions, General Chen nodded and asked:
"Lord Lin wants us to send out ordinary troops to provide firepower support? To suppress the insect swarm's offensive?"

After all, the salvation army brought by Lin Feng only had more than 280 people in total. Even if their overall strength could directly crush tens of thousands of troops...

But after all, the disadvantage in numbers is there, and the shortage of manpower also means that they can only carry out straightforward decapitation missions.

It is impossible to take into account the swarms of insects attacking from all directions.

The territory of an early-stage third-order queen is as large as hundreds of square kilometers. If you want to stop the Zerg tide on the ten-kilometer-long edge of the territory, you need to deploy at least tens of thousands of soldiers to detect the Zerg movements in time.

So General Chen subconsciously believed that Lin Feng wanted the federal military to send a large number of ordinary soldiers to provide battlefield garrison and reconnaissance, as well as fire support.

However, after hearing General Chen's question, the other party showed a trace of disdain and said with a smile:

"There's no need for reinforcements. According to the cooperation we agreed on before, all the Zerg killed by the Savior Army and all the biological materials collected on the battlefield will belong to us."

"And what I want to say is, since we need to make a feint to contain them, why not just draw all the Queen Mother's attention to the southwest?"

As he spoke, Lin Feng slowly raised his hand and pointed to the map projection on the screen:

"Early tomorrow morning, we will take action and head to the outermost part of the southwest encirclement to kill the third-stage early queen mother. It will be completed before noon!"

"By then, I estimate that even the Stage 3 Queen Mother stationed in the south will be moved and send out a swarm of insects to test our Savior Army..."

"The so-called feint attack will then become the real main battlefield of this breakout plan, and the defenders trapped in the capital city will be able to successfully break out from the northwest."

"In order to make the disguise more convincing, I hope that everyone in the Federation can send out several thousand-man troops to surround all directions of the encirclement and carry out harassment day and night, so that the Queen Mother will look ahead and behind after the war begins and delay time."

"Of course, by then the Zerg Queen will definitely focus her main energy on the southwest direction where the Savior Army is located."

"If you can still contact the defenders in the city, you can inform them to send a strong team to break out from the southwest and cooperate with us to confuse these mother queens and make them believe that the defenders in the city will break out from the southwest..."

After saying that, Lin Feng looked at the stunned federal military in the conference room and continued:
"Believe me, just a feint of harassment will not have the effect of holding them back."

"The high-level queen mothers are not fools. On the contrary, they are fighting machines without emotions."

"Instead of following your plan, where several queens in the southwest will all come out in full force, making the containment mission extremely difficult, it is better to follow my suggestion and directly turn the southwest entrance into the main battlefield."

"As long as they can kill a high-level queen mother, even if the Zerg know it's a trap, they will jump in without hesitation. After all, a third-level awakener plus the Zerg swarm under the command of a high-level queen mother are enough to make those early-stage queen mothers who can only drink soup on the periphery make a wise choice."

"The only thing that can attract them is the gains from war."

"As long as the intensity of the situation in the southwest is raised, the Zerg Queen will rush in like a gambler."

After listening to Lin Feng's analysis and proposal, General Chen and several school-level second-level awakeners who were responsible for this breakout,
They were all deeply shocked.

It was not until a moment later that one of the mid-stage second-level awakeners, a senior colonel, stood up and asked:
"If we can follow this plan, that would be great. But the only question is, City Lord Lin, are you sure you can kill a high-level queen mother in just one morning?"

"We are aware of City Lord Lin's strength..."

“But you have to know that the high-level Queen Mother on the surface is completely different from the Queen Mother hidden underground!”

"In the former case, we only need to send a fearless commando team carrying a nuclear bomb to seriously injure them. If the nuclear bomb is powerful enough, we can even kill them completely."

"But the latter must step into the underground Zerg nest, fight their way into the mother nest hundreds of meters underground, and fight the Zerg Queen on her territory."

"You need to face the entire Zerg!"

"And hundreds of second-level tiger-backed worms!"

This mid-stage second-level awakener expressed the common thoughts of all the federal military personnel present.

They certainly knew that doing so would be more perfect than the original breakout plan and would be able to rescue enough survivors to ensure the complete success of the breakout.

But ideals and reality are different.

In reality, no organization or individual can guarantee to successfully kill a high-level queen in an underground insect nest.

Even when Lin Feng completed the decapitation mission, he relied on a nuclear bomb explosion to force the Queen Mother out of the underground. He cooperated with the Guards Regiment and Ling Yi to finally eliminate the Queen Mother of Jiangbei.

If we attack first now, the Zerg Queen will obviously not leave the ground, break out of the ground, and migrate to intercept before confirming the defending troops within the encirclement and breaking out.

In the eyes of the federal military, Lin Feng's remarks were more like arrogant words that showed he had no idea of ​​the immensity of the world.

They were even more worried that because of Lin Feng's momentary bravado, this elite force of the Salvation Army would be buried in vain in the underground insect nest.

This resulted in the original breakout plan failing.

So after everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, they decided to have the strongest colonel stand up and speak out as a warning.

But Lin Feng, who was sitting in the back row, just shrugged:

"Don't worry, I have been building the second-level army for this day! Ignoring the terrain, I can lead the second-level army deep into the hive and kill the queen mother!"

As he spoke, Lin Feng began to release the powerful aura of a third-level awakener:

"My soldiers will become the most powerful force in this apocalypse, but they are just a second-order insect swarm..."

Lin Feng slowly stood up and looked at the dozen or so federal military leaders present, and said word by word:

"I will lead them..."

"Kill as many as come!"
