Chapter 1570 Wilderness Run(2/2)
Next are the engineering and technical corps, and then the artillery, and those below 70 can only be used as bulk infantry.
Don't blame others for your poor grades.
The war fortress rose rapidly. Kil looked at the ground moving away quickly, and suddenly saw some moving black shadows on the northern horizon.
He grabbed a passing crew member and asked curiously: "What is that?"
The crew members only glanced at it and said expressionlessly: "Bugs. A lot of bugs."

When Lorraine walked down from the war fortress, the No. 2 Military Station was busy.
The war fortress is rising and falling. Soldiers are running around like ants, racing against time to transport supplies.
There are clear signboards in the depot indicating what kind of things should be placed where. The site is busy but not chaotic, and everything is in order.
Lord Lorraine nodded approvingly. When he looked down at the No. 2 Military Station from the air, he was very satisfied with this place.
When fighting in a country with cities, you can also use the cities as military depots. In the wilderness, you can only build your own.
As a support point and logistics transfer station for the front line, the No. 2 Military Depot was built according to the standards of a large fortress.
It is built on a raised terrain and occupies the commanding heights of the surrounding area.
Surrounding the No. 2 Military Station is a four-meter-high wall made of filled earth. People can also stand on the wall.
Considering the possibility of being attacked by the undead, the outer defense of the military station is very strong. It is built with concrete and stone blocks and densely packed bunkers where soldiers can shoot.
The top of the bunker can defend against bombardment from the undead war fortress.
Camp Sailfish did not receive this kind of treatment. Most of the concrete transported by the coalition forces was put into the No. 1 and No. 2 depots because they were most likely to be attacked.
There are also semi-enclosed forts and open-air artillery positions built inside the camp. A regiment of the Thor Artillery Brigade was originally stationed.
The warehouse adopts underground and semi-underground structures, and there are surrounding areas for landing war fortresses.
In general, this is a well-structured military fortress. Lorraine chose this place because of its confidence in its defense capabilities.
The commander of the No. 2 Military Station was a general of the coalition forces. When he learned that Lord Lorraine was coming in person, he led the officers of the military station to wait at the landing site. When he saw Lord Lorraine, he hurriedly led his people up.
Lord Lorraine waved his hand to him and said, "General Patras, don't bother me. How is the situation in the military station?"
"Yes," Patras saluted first. Although the leader said there was no need to bother, if you really think that saluting is trouble, then just get out.
Patras has been in the army for twenty years. He understands this truth better than anyone else. He said respectfully: "Currently, including the garrison and logistics troops, there are more than 8,000 people in the military station, all of whom are mid-level and above officers.
It’s here.”
Lorraine glanced at the dark heads around him, waved his hands angrily, and said: "Stop standing here, go and do what you have to do. The war is coming, and it's time for you to show off your skills."
The officers suddenly burst into laughter, then saluted and dispersed.
Lorraine looked at General Patras and said, "What else are you missing now?"
Patras smiled bitterly and said: "Come back to the commander-in-chief, we are short of everything now. We are short of men, we are short of weapons, we are short of ammunition, especially artillery shells. We have given priority to supply to the frontline troops.
The only thing that is not lacking is probably military cans.”
Lord Lorraine nodded slowly and said: "Within one day today, we will withdraw two divisions of more than 30,000 troops from the front line. Together with the defenders in the fortress, the number is sufficient.
The Air Force is trying its best to transport supplies. Your task is to arrange to receive the supplies and transfer them as soon as possible without letting them pile up at the landing site.
As for other matters, I will take care of them."
Patras was slightly startled and asked cautiously: "Commander, do you want to personally take command?"
Lorraine glanced at him and said, "What? Is there a problem?"
Patras shook his head quickly and said: "But Marshal, you are the commander of our coalition forces. Compared with here, we need your unified command in the rear. We cannot trust those young people in the staff department."
Lorraine chuckled and said, "Grand Duke Julius himself is commanding the entire army at the Sailfish Camp, so you don't have to worry."
Lorraine charged at the front, and Archduke Julius was behind to coordinate and command. This was not the first time that the Duke and his cheap father-in-law had cooperated like this. It was also the same when they fought against Hadou last time. It was a tacit understanding of cooperation.
Patras stamped his feet anxiously and said, "But, Commander, this place is... dangerous."
Hearing that tens of millions of monsters were coming from the north, Patras was not sure whether he could hold on. He even wrote a suicide note.
If Lord Lorraine encounters something here, the rest of them will probably be involved.
Lorraine smiled slightly and said, "How can I hold back the enemy if I don't squat here?"
Patras was confused and didn't understand what the Lord meant by his words. It seemed that as long as he stayed here, the insects would come over obediently.
Lorraine patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Sir, I'm playing a big game of mahjong."
Throughout the day, the War Fortress continued to fly in from the north to unload soldiers.
The number of people in the camp expanded rapidly, and they were not idle. They started to strengthen the military station as soon as they landed.
After transporting the people, the War Fortress was busy transporting ammunition and ordnance from the south.
Even at night, no one in the entire military station took a break, and everyone was racing against time to transport supplies.
Even so, there were queues of war fortresses waiting to land in the sky. On average, one war fortress landed every five minutes, and the soldiers only took ten minutes to empty the war fortress.
Everyone knows that if they stockpile more bullets and shells, their lives will be safer. At this time, no one dares to be lazy.
The entire rush to transport work continued until the morning of the next day, and it came to an end until all the warehouses were filled with ammunition and could no longer be loaded.
The exhausted soldiers fell directly beside the warehouse and fell asleep.
But their sweet dream did not last long. Around four o'clock in the afternoon, a shrill whistle sounded in the No. 2 Military Station.
Someone shouted loudly: "They are coming~!"
Although many soldiers were exhausted, they still instinctively got up and rushed to the fighting position holding their weapons.
Looking through the narrow shooting hole of the bunker, I saw a surging black tide on the northern horizon.
No digitized description can compare to the shock of witnessing an insect swarm with your own eyes.
When they saw that the land in the north was gradually covered with black, the coalition soldiers realized how terrifying the enemy was.
Lord Lorraine stood at the commanding heights of the military station. After putting down his telescope, he said with a relaxed expression: "They are coming."
Several people behind the Duke showed indifferent smiles, and one of them said disdainfully: "I've been waiting for them for a long time."
"That old fellow, the High Priest, is useless. He keeps going back as time goes by. He actually borrows other people's soldiers to fight. It's really a shame."
"This is probably their last resort."
"After destroying them, we can almost go home."
Below Lord Lorraine, the artillery officer shouted: "Direction due north, distance 5,500, test fire, load one round, fire~!"
With the roar of cannons, a fierce battle curtain suddenly opened.
The monsters miles away neighed and rushed towards the military station as fast as they could. (To be continued...)
