"I heard that General Alfred was transferred here. He came with a mission. It seems that he wants to eliminate all these watchers." The adjutant explained in the bumpy armored reconnaissance vehicle.

"The order states very clearly that reinforcements will arrive within 20 hours... I hope General Alfred didn't lie to us." The battalion commander folded the map in his hand and stuffed it into the map bag.

Although electronic maps are much more detailed and accurate than traditional maps, paper maps are still very popular among grassroots officers and soldiers.

There are too many things to display on the screen in front of me. If I want to see the big map near the battlefield, it is more convenient to just take out the drawings and look at them.

Of course, this also varies from person to person. Some people are accustomed to using paper maps, while others are willing to use electronic maps. I can’t say which one is better and which one is worse.

"General Alfred is an old general who followed Princess Luna on various expeditions. How could he be so messy..." The adjutant opened the hatch above his head: "Has the battlefield been cleared?"

The armored vehicle they were in stopped on the side of the road, next to a steaming crater.

The corpses of the sweepers who didn't need to be cleaned up were scattered all over the place. Some were broken into pieces, while others were relatively intact.

Scavengers who are directly shot by machine guns will basically have relatively complete bodies, while those who are hit by artillery shells will only have fragments.

But no matter how broken they are, these corpses will disappear, just like the ice and snow in spring, which will dissipate little by little.

"Further forward... is the defense area where the 4194th Infantry Division used to be... They retreated before and are now resting in the rear." The adjutant pointed to the distant place that had changed beyond recognition, and he also opened the overhead hatch and poked his head out.

The battalion commander came and said.

The battalion commander once again picked up the telescope and looked through the telescope at the mountains in the distance. There should have been defense lines and trees there, but now they were bare and looked like the surface of an asteroid.

As far as the eye could see, two A-10 attack planes from the Airanshir Empire roared past. They were ordered to cover the ground troops' attack, and their wings were covered with air-to-ground missiles.

Originally, the A-10 attack aircraft was not suitable for use on such a high-intensity battlefield, because the Airanshir Empire has not been able to control the air until now. But this is war, and it is not just about using the right weapons at the right time.

When a battle breaks out, use whatever you have in hand. You cannot complain about why the enemy has an assault rifle but you only have a kitchen knife. Even if you only have a kitchen knife, you must use this kitchen knife to fight the invaders!

Soon, in the battalion commander's telescope, the two A-10 attack planes seemed to have discovered the target, and quickly dropped their missiles.

The four missiles dragged long white smoke towards the invisible ground, and the two A-10 attack planes climbed up and pulled up almost at the same time, avoiding the black energy group flying towards them.

"Our air force has finally started working..." The commander of the reconnaissance battalion put down his telescope, looked at his soldiers resting not far away, and started chatting.

"That's right, I heard that the air superiority of Higgs 5 has been lost. Our air force can still fight back and forth, which is enough to give our ground forces face." The adjutant was actually concerned about the current air combat situation.

Satisfied.

"I hope there will be more air force in the reinforcements. I'm really not used to fighting without air cover." The battalion commander crushed a pack of compressed biscuits and poured the dregs into his mouth.

Feeling a little dry, he took off a hanging kettle from the inner wall of the armored vehicle, and once again stuck his head out to look at the resting tank soldiers who were working with his reconnaissance battalion.

After saying that, he pressed the switch of the intercom: "Final rest for five minutes! While we still have air support, we can advance another 20 kilometers!"

"Okay! Got it!" The voices of some vehicle commanders and company commanders and platoon commanders came one after another from the earphones.

Many people are using this precious time to cultivate their minds, a few people are eating, and some are taking the time to replenish the ammunition they just consumed.

Next to an ammunition truck accompanying the troops, soldiers covered with ammunition chains were helping to stuff empty ammunition boxes back into the truck compartment.

At this time, the ground suddenly shook, and then all the scouts and the tank crews resting on the roadside saw a huge mushroom cloud rising on the horizon.

The rolling upward mushroom cloud blew away the distant clouds and formed a spectacular ring in the sky.

Under the churning mushroom cloud, there is a dazzling light. Even though it is at least dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away, human eyes still cannot look directly at such light.

Another nuclear bomb exploded in the direction where the Watcher troops landed, and another mushroom cloud rose over the enemy's position.

The ground has been shaking because of the violent explosion. It was a nuclear warhead of tens of millions of tons. One explosion can destroy a city effortlessly.

Inside the earphones, there is the electric interference sound caused by the nuclear explosion. The communication will be briefly interrupted during the nuclear explosion. The buzzing sound will start to subside after a few seconds, and the interrupted communication will soon be restored.

Then, the battalion commander heard the familiar voice of the regiment commander in the earphone: "Pay attention to nuclear radiation protection! Another nuclear strike has just been carried out..."

"The reconnaissance battalion understands! I will order all soldiers to be careful about nuclear radiation." The battalion commander pressed the switch of the intercom and promised his superiors.

After finishing speaking, with the QR code on his forehead, he looked at the adjutant beside him: "This General Alfred of Higgs... is really ruthless!"

"Everyone in the old Higgs knows!" The adjutant said with a smile on his face, as if General Alfred was really his fellow countryman.

After finishing speaking, the adjutant put on his big-brimmed hat, covered the QR code on his forehead, and looked at the mushroom cloud that was still rising in the distance: "That...is our final goal!"

"Yes! Kill all these damn enemies... and then we can rest." The battalion commander grinned, switched the communication channel, and shouted loudly to his men: "The rest is over!
Chapter completed!
