"Yes, some of them will act as bait to attract the attention of the Shangqiu troops, while the rest will concentrate their elite forces to rush in and rescue the people!"

"Let's do it that way then."

The middle-aged man already understood the meaning of the hunter's move: a feint attack.

Some can be sacrificed, and as long as the people are rescued, it doesn't matter if they all die, since these hunters can be trained quickly with money.

"Since it's to attract attention, let them eat that."

The hunter commander was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the middle-aged man. He knew clearly what the man was referring to—the red potion of truth.

The name sounds normal, but once you drink this medicine, your body will instantly become strong and tough, turning you into a battle demon who has no sense of pain and only knows how to fight. But the side effect is that your rationality will evaporate completely, turning you into a complete madman!

"Your will!"

"Let's get ready. If that little thing runs into the Abyss Sea, that would be a real problem."

"Understood, sir. The last wave of hunter regiments will arrive in three hours. After a short rest, we will launch the attack at three o'clock tomorrow morning." The hunter briefly explained the attack plan.

"If successful, I will recommend you to formally join the order."

"Thank you, sir!"

The hunter immediately looked at the middle-aged man with excitement. Joining the cult meant officially entering the management level, at least he wouldn't be discarded like a expendable pawn.

The middle-aged man wore a forced smile and turned his head to look in the direction of Shangqiu.

"Little thing, you can't escape the cult's grasp." A cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He was still too merciful. This time, he would definitely cut off that little thing's legs to prevent her from running around!

In the outermost mountainous area of ​​Shangqiu, tents are hidden in the dense forest, where the hunters who have arrived one after another are resting.

Compared to the hunters outside, the hunters here have colder expressions and more bloodthirsty eyes; each one is a ruthless killer.

In another direction, the true core of the cult, the orbal mech force, finally arrived on the outskirts of Shangqiu.

Clang! Clang!

The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly. One by one, the mechs painted in a deep purple walked to a relatively open area and knelt on the ground. The cult's logistics personnel could only check the condition of these mechs in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Unlike those who were abandoned, these people are the true elite of the Order!

In the sky, a Wing Loong drone flew slowly by, its light-filled turret scanning the surrounding forest and quickly spotting the mechs that had no sense of concealment whatsoever.

The surrounding maintenance personnel were busy around the mechs that were kneeling on the ground...

Shangqiu CIC Command Center.

The operator controlling the Wing Loong drone immediately noticed the anomaly. In the green forest, these purple mechs were so conspicuous, they were like beetles in a rice paddy or fireflies in the night sky.

"Commander...there's a situation!"

The commander strode to the operator's back, looked at the orbal mechs kneeling on the ground, and then frowned deeply as he glanced at the other side's position.

The fact that they are amassing troops on the outskirts of Shangqiu clearly indicates hostile intentions.

"Check the recent records to see if there's anything unusual."

Feedback came quickly: the sentry posts and patrols had recently discovered that there were many more commoners from the kingdom on the outskirts of Shangqiu than usual in the past week, most of whom were there to do business and hoped to trade with Shangqiu; the number of poor people from the kingdom who had inadvertently wandered into Shangqiu was also several times higher than usual, and most of them were driven away by the patrols.

In fact, these anomalies had already alerted Shangqiu to something amiss, prompting them to increase patrols.

I just didn't expect that the other party wasn't trying to "smuggle," but rather to court disaster.

Chapter 57 Closing the Door to Beat the Dog (2/4)

The commander in Shangqiu strode to a red wired telephone, picked it up, and said, "Activate Contingency Plan No. XX..."

In fact, Shangqiu already had corresponding emergency plans, so the commanders didn't need to say much.

Almost the instant the contingency plan was activated, all staff members in Shangqiu received the evacuation information on their Huawei smart bands and began to execute the plan.

Lingdang, who was learning pinyin with a group of babbling children, was writing and drawing in her notebook. The children around her were very curious about this purple-haired "big sister" and would climb up to her from time to time, gesturing with their little hands.

Bell puffed out her cheeks and lifted a child off her... Bell was a little troubled by being too popular.

The teacher, who was teaching pinyin, glanced down at the vibrating bracelet, clapped her hands to attract the children's attention:

"Okay, that's all for today. Now let's watch an animated film!"

Amidst the children's cheers, the teacher led them toward the civil defense system.

Compared to the simple-minded children, Lingdang was much more perceptive; she sensed that something was amiss.

A knocking sound came from the door. Zhou Mingrui opened the door and saw Shi Qiang. Shi Qiang gestured for him to follow, and the two walked towards the command center.

"Something's wrong. An unidentified force's army is gathering outside the Shangqiu Special Economic Zone."

Unknown forces...the Kingdom's army? Zhou Mingrui's first thought was the Kingdom's army. Then he thought about Queen Estée's political skills. She wasn't some magical India; she couldn't possibly make such a brainless move.

"It's not clear yet, but we've ruled out the kingdom. The seal isn't from the royal family or the kingdom's forces... We've activated our contingency plan. In case things go wrong, your evacuation is our top priority."

Zhou Mingrui suddenly stopped. He understood what Shi Qiang was saying, but he still couldn't help asking, "What about those women and children? Shouldn't they be evacuated first?"

"I was referring to the worst-case scenario. Specific arrangements will depend on the situation on the battlefield... Don't worry too much, trust that our army can protect the lives and property of the people."

The two soon arrived at the combat command center and saw rows of orbal mechs painted in a deep purple.

Zhou Mingrui's first thought was: Wow~ what a good target...

"..."

Then he remembered the large mech he was going to build, and suddenly felt depressed.

..............

The Tu-154 electronic reconnaissance aircraft was turned on in the airport hangar, and the crew began self-checks. A tow truck pulled the Tu-154MD reconnaissance aircraft, which was on 24-hour combat readiness duty, out of the hangar and parked it at the end of the runway.

It roared into the sky amidst the roar of jet engines, followed by two J-10B fighters taking off to escort the Tu-154.

As for why the J-20 isn't used, its performance is overkill... On the Mingrui Star side, radar stealth is useless; the J-10 is actually more effective.

After the Tu-154MD reconnaissance aircraft took off, four Wing Loong UAVs followed, conducting aerial reconnaissance around Shangqiu along a pre-set route to gain a comprehensive understanding of the battlefield.

The Army Aviation Corps was also busy; Z-10 attack helicopters were pulled out of the hangar, and ground crew began loading them with weapons...

The garrison in Shangqiu consists of only one combined arms brigade. After all, the rabbits are here to develop Mingrui Star, not like the United States, which has a military-industrial complex that provides a one-stop service for destruction and construction... taking the service concept to the extreme.

The combined arms brigade consists of 4 combined arms battalions and 5 special operations battalions; each combined arms battalion consists of 3 infantry companies, 2 tank companies, 1 artillery company, 1 support company, and 1 logistics company, operating like the most precise gears.

The reconnaissance battalion of the combined arms brigade conducted preliminary reconnaissance.

The Type 04A infantry fighting vehicle and the Type 99A main battle tank are refueling and refueling. The Chinese infantry-tank cooperation is completely different from the traditional infantry-tank cooperation. We are cooperating between infantry fighting vehicles and tanks!

The PLZ-05 self-propelled howitzers and PHL03 self-propelled rocket launchers quickly moved toward the artillery positions selected in the pre-planned operation.

As for why long-range artillery wasn't used, the Shangqiu Special Economic Zone is only so big, and rocket artillery with a range of 300 kilometers is far beyond its capabilities. If it were to hit the kingdom's territory due to technical reasons, it would bring enormous diplomatic pressure.

It's not like we're the US military, acting tough in someone else's home, bombing and blasting indiscriminately, displaying our lack of democracy.

Rabbits will never seek hegemony; we will work together for common development and shared prosperity.

In the integrated command center in Shangqiu, each combat unit was connected to the data link, and the combat system was activated.

"Commander, the target's location is currently within the kingdom's territory..."

The Wing Loong drones hovered in the sky, and the light-dot turrets transmitted the real-time dynamics of the gay purple mechs to the command center. If the rabbit wanted to, it could simply blow them up, but the rabbit couldn't do that.

"Continue to observe, and contact the Chinese Embassy in Scotland immediately..."

Shangqiu leased land from the kingdom, and according to the lease agreement, they only had the right to defend themselves within the area.

These armed units are currently located outside the leased land area defined by the agreement, and jurisdiction belongs to the Kingdom.

Even if tens of thousands of troops are gathered outside Shangqiu, as long as the enemy does not enter Shangqiu's territory, Shangqiu can only watch; out of respect for the kingdom's sovereignty, the matter is reported to the royal family, and the kingdom awaits the royal family's reply until these enemies make any moves.

"Commander, the Pterodactyl has spotted a new target..."

In the footage sent back by the Wing Loong drone, rows of green tents were hidden in the woods, and many armed personnel were moving around in the woods.

Zhou Mingrui glanced at the time; there were still 3 hours until dark. Did these unidentified armed forces intend to operate under cover of darkness? He then looked at the positions of these personnel on the electronic map, and then at the positions of the mechs; the two positions were at almost a 180-degree angle.

Feinting to the east while attacking in the west... Without a comprehensive reconnaissance system, the rabbit could indeed be tricked by this simple but effective tactic, causing some trouble.

"Everything will be carried out according to the plan; we'll trap them."

The commander gave the order that if this unknown force was truly malicious, then letting it in and then trapping it was the best option.

In the deep mountains and forests, weapons are not necessarily effective. If they start a wildfire, it's like shooting yourself in the foot, letting the enemy into the plains, and then trapping them.

As early as when Shangqiu was established, there were already contingency plans to deal with invasions, and meticulous plans were made around defense and counterattack.

In the plains, there are no natural shelters, and the view is completely open, which allows for the best destruction effect. Moreover, even if the enemy wants to run, they cannot outrun the planes in the sky in the plains and can only become neat rows of wreckage.

Chapter 58 Hospitality (3/4)

As darkness gradually fell, after the twilight hours when thermal imaging failed, the thermal images of the hunters were clearly projected onto the thermal imager.

"Commander! The Grand Embassy has sent a message that this force is not part of the Kingdom's or its subordinate departments' army. The embassy wants us to be on high alert!"

The commander nodded, which meant that these militants could now be defined as terrorists.

However, these militants haven't made any unusual moves yet... If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. It would be best if they just ran away!

Shangqiu is currently focused on development and construction. Only by establishing the industrial system of the Shangqiu Special Economic Zone can we turn our attention to developing the deep sea and unearth all the treasures from this treasure trove.

Time passed second by second, and as the night deepened, the thermal imaging camera finally showed signs of activity. It was as if the militants had planned it all along, simultaneously infiltrating Shangqiu and entering the Shangqiu Special Economic Zone after crossing an invisible line.

This also means that these terrorists did indeed come with malicious intent.

"All troops, first-level combat deployment!" the commander shouted.

If someone offends me, I will retaliate! A single punch can prevent a hundred more. Since conflict is unavoidable, the only option is to cleanly and decisively eliminate all those who dare to offend me!

The 155mm howitzer, which had already arrived at its designated position, slowly raised its barrel and adjusted its firing parameters; the PHL03 self-propelled rocket launcher on another position stopped, and the hydraulic system lifted the 12-tube rocket launcher.

In the sky, the Tu-154MD reconnaissance aircraft transmitted real-time information about the movements of the most threatening terrorists to the command center.

The Wing Loong drone hovered in the sky. Without the guidance of the Beidou system, the Wing Loong drone would provide relay guidance, guiding rocket artillery and guided shells to accurately knock down each mech.

On the runway of Shangqiu military airport.

Four J-10 fighters took off and, after securing air superiority, secured the area.

Four JH-7 fighter-bombers and four J-16 fighters entered the sortie procedure and took off in pairs... The most eye-catching thing was the gray "boxes" mounted under the wings, with "TL-500" written on them.
