super god warlord

Sun Liren was greatly relieved to find that there was no enemy obstructing the landing. The Hualan Expeditionary Force quickly occupied this port as a stronghold and began to advance towards nearby villages and towns.Without the White Eagle Army being aware of it, the Hualan Army began to slowly encroach on its territory, and soon all the villages and towns in the Yukon River Basin were controlled by the Hualan Expeditionary Army, and Sun Liren had his own solid foothold.

The materials began to be continuously transported by sleds through the ice, and they were concentrated in the port of Nome for storage.In addition to these traditional transportation methods, the Hualan Army also used a newest transportation tool, the Z-[-] general-purpose helicopter.

The Zhi-[-] helicopter uses a turboshaft engine with a maximum speed of [-] kilometers per hour, a practical ceiling of [-] meters, a maximum range of [-] kilometers, and can carry [-] tons of cargo.The Hualan Army is not short of money, nor is it short of fuel supply, so there is no need to consider transportation economics. Near the Arctic Circle, where transport aircraft are difficult to use due to icy wings, this kind of helicopter has become the main force of air transportation.

However, Sun Liren knew that relying on helicopters and sleds for transportation, it was difficult to store enough supplies. He had to seize the opponent's logistics base before the White Eagle Army reacted.

"Do you think this plan can be completed?" Sun Liren asked, pointing to the action route on the map. Standing beside him was his number one wise general, Lieutenant General Zhang Lingfu, commander of the No. 20 First Army.

As the best student of the No.15 period of Zhongchuan Army University, Zhang Lingfu has served in the army for more than 20 years.He started as the deputy company commander and climbed up to his current position step by step. He has quite a lot of experience in commanding operations.Even so, looking at the battle plan appointed by Sun Liren, he still frowned.

"Commander, this plan seems too risky. Is it necessary for us to do this when the situation is so good?" Zhang Lingfu felt that this battle plan was too risky. After all, the battle situation in Hualan Kingdom is becoming more and more clear now, and we must fight steadily. That's the right way.

Of course Sun Liren knew what Zhang Lingfu was thinking, and he would have thought so if he hadn't heard from his brother-in-law Zhao Shouhong, but now he was very anxious in his heart. "Lingfu, let me tell you this, the situation is not as good as you imagined, and our time is also very tight." Sun Liren sighed.

"Oh? Commander, do you have any news?" Zhang Lingfu knew that Sun Liren could often get some inside information from Zhao Shouhong, so he attached great importance to his statement.

Sun Liren turned around the map table with his hands behind his back and said: "My brother-in-law revealed the news to me before sending out troops. Now the White Eagle Kingdom is conducting secret peace talks with the Teutonic Kingdom. Although the level of secrecy of the peace talks is very high, our people It is difficult to get information, but what is certain is that the truce between the two sides is almost a foregone conclusion. Even my brother-in-law told me privately that it is not impossible for the two countries to unite against us.”

"How is this possible?" Zhang Lingfu frowned and said, "White Eagle Kingdom and Teutonic Kingdom fought to death, so they will become allies in a blink of an eye?"

"There is no hatred between countries. They can go to war for national interests, or they can unite for national interests. It depends on how much interest there is and how much risk." Sun Liren said: "This issue is not within our consideration. , I just want to tell you that there is not much time in Hualan. If we are destined to fight on two fronts, we must gain sufficient advantages before that, and a foothold in the north of the New World is a must."

Looking at his cronies, Sun Liren said: "Everyone is very clear about the combat capabilities of the Teutonic Army. Once the Teutonic Army attacks us on land, the domestic supplies will inevitably be tilted towards the Western front. What we have to do Just get enough of a foothold before then, preferably all of Canada."

"I understand." Zhang Lingfu said: "I have accepted this mission, but the materials needed..."

"You can choose whatever you want, and the logistics department will openly supply it." Sun Liren waved his hand and said, "But you must remember that you must arrive at the designated location within ten days. You only have the strength of one division, and the battle must be won." Clean and neat, once you get entangled by the enemy, it will be troublesome.”

"I understand, please rest assured, Commander, and promise to complete the task." Zhang Lingfu saluted and turned to leave.

Sun Liren sighed and said, "If I could, I wouldn't take such a risk, but it's about the rise and fall of the country, and my generation of soldiers has to fight for the fate of the country and the nation. No matter how great the sacrifice is, we must never shrink back."

Half a day later, the Fourth Snowfield Infantry Division with a full set of snow equipment left the main force under the leadership of Zhang Lingfu. They actually headed eastward, and then quickly disappeared into the dense coniferous forest of Mount McKinley.

Sun Liren was not idle either, and the main force of the expeditionary force quickly set off from Bethel and conquered the coastal city of Ike in one fell swoop.After achieving enough shocking effect, the whole army continued to attack southward, aiming at Goodnews Bay, in an attempt to separate and suppress the White Eagle Army stationed in the Kipnuk area from the White Eagle Army stationed in southern Alaska. Encircle and annihilate.

The first thousand 380 chapters and five dangerous shortcuts

Lieutenant General Hall, who was in charge of Alaska's defense, was taken aback. He never expected that the Hualan army would rush up from behind him.Originally, all the plans were aimed at the Aleutian Islands and the southern sea, and the defense lines of the troops were all targeted in that direction. At this time, the enemy suddenly came from the west.

With a little thought, Lieutenant General Hall knew the joint.The opponent must come from the other side of the Bering Strait. Although they can rely on the ice to transport an army, they cannot let the logistics supply line rely on this route, because the transportation efficiency is too low.

According to Lieutenant General Hall's estimate, the number of Hualan troops will not be large, and supplies are also very difficult. As long as the opponent's supply line is cut off, this is a good opportunity to wipe out the opponent's main force and make great achievements.Hall quickly found Lieutenant General Whitehead, commander of the Fifth Air Force, and asked him to bomb the Bering Strait to prevent the Hualan Army's supply routes.

Lieutenant General Whitehead gave him a very clear answer. The temperature is too low, and the plane will start to freeze half an hour after takeoff. No bomber can go to the Bering Strait located in the Arctic Circle to carry out bombing in such severe cold. task, unless he's crazy.

The air force could not be dispatched, so the army could only be used. Lieutenant General Hall had to mobilize a large number of troops from the coastal area to go to the Yukon River Basin to find the Hualan Army for a decisive battle.Of course, Lieutenant General Hall also considered that this might be a strategy of the Hualan Army to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Before leading the army westward, he transferred more than half of his troops from the second line to the coastline to prevent the Hualan Army from possible landing operations.

Just when Lieutenant General Hall mobilized his troops and planned to go west to retake the Yukon River Basin, Zhang Lingfu was leading the Four Snowfield Infantry Division, advancing rapidly through the glaciers of Mount McKinley.

Mount McKinley is the highest peak in the north of the New World. The local aborigines call it Denali Peak, which is 6193 meters above sea level and belongs to the middle section of the Alaska Mountains.This mountain is a huge anticlinal folded granite fault-block mountain with two peaks in the north and south. The mountain is steep and precipitous, and two-thirds of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round.

Because there is less rainfall on the northern slope of the Alaska Mountains, the snow line is as high as 1830 meters, and there are bare mountain rocks below.In this kind of terrain, the skis cannot be used, and the soldiers can only carry the skis on their shoulders and walk over.Two days had passed, and the troops led by Zhang Lingfu continued to march rapidly, but they still hadn't crossed the mountain.

The terrain of this mountain range is very complicated. Although the route is marked on the military map with contour lines, it is relatively far away. What's more, because it is always uphill, it greatly slows down the marching speed.If this speed is followed, the predetermined location will definitely not be reached within ten days, so a better route must be found.

Originally, Zhang Lingfu had military officers who had visited this ski resort as guides. Under their leadership, there was a chance to shorten the distance, but the heavy snow that fell a few days ago caused trouble.Just yesterday, they wanted to take a shortcut to save time and cross a valley.Unexpectedly, an avalanche just happened there, and the entire valley was filled up, making it impossible to march, so the troops had to change their original marching route and search for a crossing mountain pass again.Such mistakes not only consumed a lot of physical strength of the soldiers, but also wasted an extra day.

Zhang Lingfu convened another meeting, and the participants were all officers and soldiers who had been to Alaska, but these people came to ski and didn't know much about the nearby terrain. They discussed for a long time, but they couldn't find the fastest way to march. When the route came, Zhang Lingfu couldn't help sighing: "We only have ten days. It has been two days and we haven't crossed the mountain yet. There is still a mountain waiting for us. It seems that this mission cannot be completed on time."

Hearing what he said, a battalion commander named Jia Huai said: "Commander, if we are short on time, maybe we can take a dangerous path."

"What dangerous way?" Zhang Lingfu asked immediately when his eyes lit up.

Battalion Commander Jia Huai said: "Before I joined the army, I spent a period of time in the polar scientific research team and wandered around the Alaska Mountains for a while. I have personally explored. There is a trail through Mount McKinley, which is glacier movement. A large rock cave caused by erosion, if you walk from there, you should be able to reach the Shannan area in advance."

"Great, let's set off immediately, and you will be the guide." Zhang Lingfu's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Battalion Commander Jia Huai wondered: "Commander, there is indeed a small road over there, and I can find the entrance, but it is very dangerous, so I can't risk so many brothers' lives."

"Oh?" Zhang Lingfu frowned and said, "How dangerous is it?"

Battalion Commander Jia Huai introduced: "Because this passage is formed by glacier erosion, the structure is very fragile and may show signs of collapse. Even if it does not collapse and damage soldiers on our way, there may be a sudden boulder blocking the road , wasting time for nothing. The biggest problem is that the road has to pass under the Kashiltner Glacier. The situation of the glacier changes every day. I came here six years ago, so I can’t guarantee that it will still be passable.”

Jia Huai's words made Zhang Lingfu hesitate. He had to make a decision between failing to complete the task or risking his life.Zhang Lingfu asked again: "Is there a shortcut to climb the mountain nearby?"

Jia Huai shook his head and said, "Probably not. According to my estimate, it will take another ten days at the fastest to cross the entire mountain range."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll take the 1143st Battalion of the 1rd Regiment first, and Guohua, you lead the other troops to continue to advance over the mountain." The Guohua Zhang Lingfu mentioned was Zeng Guohua, the commander of the Fourth Snow Plains Infantry Division.

Hearing what Zhang Lingfu said, he immediately stopped him and said, "This won't do, Commander, lead your team over the mountain, and I'll take the shortcut."

"Stop arguing. I must be the first to enter the theater and complete the task assigned by the commander." Zhang Lingfu said: "This is a matter of life and death for the entire army, and we cannot tolerate each other. That's it. I will lead the team to take a shortcut. You Lead a large army over the mountain, remember to be careful and act quickly, I am still waiting for your backup."

"Yes." Seeing Zhang Lingfu's insistence, Zeng Guohua had no choice but to obey.

After some discussions, the two sides determined the contact method and time, and then Zeng Guohua led a large force to continue climbing the mountain, while Zhang Lingfu and Jia Huai battalion commander took the 1143st Battalion of the 1 Regiment under his command and turned in a direction not far away. to the foot of the mountain.

The gravel under their feet became finer and finer. Zhang Lingfu knew that they had walked into a place where a glacier once flowed.Battalion Commander Jia Huai led the team and successfully found the cave relying on the traces of the glacier.

"Commander, this is the place." Jia Huai pointed to the cave and said.

The first thousand and 380 chapters cut off the way back

Zhang Lingfu looked up and took a closer look. It was a huge cave, about 20 meters wide and more than six meters high.Although the stone wall is full of cracks, it looks quite smooth. On the ground are pebbles and sand of different sizes, which are obviously traces caused by glaciers.Zhang Lingfu nodded and said: "Let's go, everyone follow closely, don't fall behind. The flashlights are used in turn at the rear of the Sanlian Hall, trying to save power as much as possible."

Zhang Lingfu and Battalion Commander Jia Huai walked in the front and led more than 500 soldiers into the cave.Because it was formed by the erosion of glaciers, the terrain inside the cave is relatively flat, but the road is winding, wide and narrow, making it difficult for everyone to move faster.

The soldiers have all been organized into squads and moved together with backpack straps to prevent any accidents.In order to save power, each shift only used two flashlights to illuminate the road, and walked slowly in the dark cave.In such a dark situation, the speed of marching could not be increased, but Zhang Lingfu knew very well that they didn't need to climb over the mountains to find those valleys where they could march, but directly crossed the mountainside, which could already save a lot of time.

The march in the dark lasted for several days, and everyone could only sleep in the narrow passage every day. Almost all of them were hit by stones and their waists ached.On the fifth day of the underground march, they finally entered a spacious cave hall.

The cave hall has an area of ​​several hundred square meters, and the rock walls are mottled and covered with cracked lines, which look old.The ground is fairly flat, with clusters of crystal mica and crystals growing at the corners, shining brightly under the light of the flashlight.The top of the cave seems to be very high. Looking up, there is only a piece of black hole, which looks so mysterious and deep.

Zhang Lingfu looked at the surrounding terrain and said to the people behind: "Everyone, take a rest here and eat something. It's already nine o'clock at night. Let's camp here and leave tomorrow morning."

Battalion Commander Jia looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Commander, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Why?" Zhang Lingfu asked.

Commander Jia said: "The space here is too large, and it is easy to collapse. The rock wall is very corroded, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous. But it is still possible to eat here. The high oxygen on the roof here is sufficient. It’s no problem to use solid fuel to cook here, and it’s safer to retreat to the passage to rest after eating.”

"Is it possible to collapse?" Zhang Lingfu looked around and said, "Well, let's make a fire and cook quickly, and the two of us will go and see the situation ahead. If we can find the way ahead, we will camp there."

"Alright, there are still about two kilometers of road ahead, and we will enter the glacier area." Battalion Commander Jia nodded, and the two walked in along a deep passage with a few guards.The passage here is relatively spacious, with a width of about four or five meters, which is ideal for use as a campsite.

Zhang Lingfu, Battalion Commander Jia Huai and several others walked forward along the passage. After walking more than a kilometer, the front suddenly lit up.Zhang Lingfu turned off the flashlight and strode over. What he saw had turned into light blue.
