Chapter 401 50-50

Eighty kilometers away from the Banshuiwan base, a huge army of 200,000 soldiers marched rapidly, aiming at Banshuiwan.

Ten-meter-high giant robots marched in formation, with armored vehicles and tanks as the core. Two hundred thousand troops from four armies marched on the abandoned roads that had been expanded. The helicopters hovering in the sky were like hardworking little bees, flying low around the ground troops and taking charge of most of the security tasks.

In higher airspace, anti-gravity aircraft and assault reconnaissance ships flew farther, including other places in the scope of reconnaissance.

The farthest assault reconnaissance ship had already flown to a location less than 20 kilometers away from the Banshuiwan base, which was why Ruan Junming could receive the news. The communication range of the assault reconnaissance ship was farther, and within 20 kilometers, it was enough to have a walkie-talkie conversation with the Banshuiwan base.

In a command vehicle that collected information and conveyed orders, Long Jingtian and Lin Yan were staying here at this time, ending the conversation with Ruan Junming just now.

While contacting the Banshuiwan base, the assault reconnaissance ships relayed each other. After several assault reconnaissance ships transferred, the message was finally transmitted to the command vehicle, and then Long Jingtian and others from the command convoy passed the message back to Ruan Junming. Each conversation required several transfers, which consumed a lot of time. After a call, half an hour had passed.

"This damn apocalypse, all our satellites have lost signals, otherwise why would we be so passive and have so much trouble to make a call."

Long Jingtian put down the intercom in his hand and complained to his old partner Lin Yan beside him. After enjoying the global village era before the apocalypse, using this backward communication now would make people collapse.

"Old Long, just be content. Our situation is already good. At least we can maintain short-distance communication. Most bases are now more primitive than us, and communication basically relies on running and shouting."

Lin Yan has become accustomed to Long Jingtian's tone of voice, and just smiled at this. Compared with other bases, the new Ludong base is indeed very technologically powerful.

"Speaking of which, our opponent this time is really hard to deal with. According to the information Ruan Junming just said, Wang Jin has dispatched more than 300,000 insect swarms and 50,000 troops this time. In addition, he has captured four bases except the Banshuiwan base. It is very difficult for us to carry out our work!"

Lin Yan said, frowning. Because he often dealt with government departments in the past, Lin Yan spoke more politely. He said that it was difficult to carry out work when he said it was difficult to deal with, which made Long Jingtian feel sour.

"Old Lin, don't talk so literary. My teeth are about to fall out because of you. I have estimated that with our coalition forces, compared with the information we know about Wang Jin's insect swarm, the odds of winning and losing are fifty-fifty. Don't help others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige."

Long Jingtian pouted, but when he talked about Wang Jin, his face became serious.

They were orthodox military men, and they had a special staff group to help them make various analyses of the war. The enemy's war strength was the top priority. The information about Wang Jin's Zerg had been provided to Long Jingtian and his team by the Banshuiwan Base.

With the help of these materials, it was not difficult for Long Jingtian and his team to understand Wang Jin's strength.

"I don't know how Wang Jin developed. Our 200,000 troops are all equipped with new energy weapons. Our entire army is only 300,000 of such new troops, and there are still 400,000 troops that have not been replaced. But even if we send out such elite troops, it's just a half-pound and eight-two. If it weren't for the reasonable analysis of the staff group, I would have thought they were exaggerating."

Lin Yan spread his hands. Wang Jin's rocket-like rise caught the New Ludong Base off guard. The recognition of Wang Jin's strength has not been truly taken seriously until now.

"Humph, we still have 500,000 troops. If they are all pulled in."

Long Jingtian muttered, his face was very unconvinced, but more of a helpless expression.

"I know what you're thinking, but this is the upper limit of our current military deployment. Although we have an arsenal, the reserves of our base are still too weak for such a large-scale war."

Lin Yan smiled bitterly. Just to dispatch these 200,000 troops equipped with new weapons, their logistics have borne a lot of pressure. War is fought with logistics, and this is no joke.

Although these new weapons are sophisticated and powerful, they also need a lot of maintenance and repair. When a new piece of equipment is launched, there are always many problems, which require multiple improvements to be resolved one by one. It has only been more than a year since the end of the world, and the New Ludong Base has not had so much time to improve it, and it has encountered Wang Jin, a great enemy.

This time, in order to deal with Wang Jin, the New Ludong Base has taken out most of its inventory of weapons and ammunition and replacement zero-levels. In mobilizing more troops, the New Ludong Base simply cannot afford it. The distance of hundreds of kilometers from the New Ludong Base to the Banshuiwan Base brings considerable difficulties to logistics.

More importantly, new weapons consume a lot of brain core crystals. The brain core crystals in the New Ludong Base are not infinite, but accumulated bit by bit. They cannot be consumed all at once. Even for ordinary weapons, it is not easy for the average-sized arsenal in the New Ludong Base to ensure the logistics of weapons and ammunition.

"Anyway, we have 200,000 troops, so we don't have to worry too much about Wang Jin. Our main purpose of coming here this time is to protect the Banshuiwan base and take back the four bases occupied by Wang Jin. We are not fighting Wang Jin to death. With our troops, as long as we force him, Wang Jin should make concessions."

Lin Yan continued, the base camp still has 500,000 troops as a backup. Although they cannot come due to logistics, Wang Jin doesn't know! Under such a potential threat, Wang Jin must not dare to fight them head-on. Of course, even if they really want to fight, Lin Yan and his men are not afraid.

"You make sense. Wang Jin can be left to deal with slowly. Our arsenal has made good gains recently. We have purchased a lot of raw materials from several super bases in other nearby provinces. We have occupied a new arsenal not long ago, and it has been renovated and repaired during this period. It only takes half a month for us to fully arm the army. By then, we will have 700,000 troops with new equipment and sufficient ammunition. It will be more than enough to deal with Wang Jin. I am afraid that by then, we can become the leader in several nearby provinces."

Long Jingtian said, with a flash of heat in his eyes. This is a person who likes power.

"Well, let's send out a reconnaissance team to conduct a detailed investigation to see where there is a breakthrough. Wang Jin's insect swarm is now surrounding the Banshuiwan base. We have to find an opportunity to enter the Banshuiwan base."

"Lin Yan said, Long Jingtian certainly had no objection, and soon the order was issued, and someone from the reinforcements was separated to complete the task assigned by the commander.
