Chapter 297 Population of 7 million
Isn't Lu Qianshan perfunctory? Overseas forces are harassing the Blue Sea Fleet? Li Yunpeng muttered to himself.
Whether it is true or not, the task of guarding Yingruan is still up to him.
He calculated carefully, Yingruan Fortress now has two guard armies, plus 150,000 western navy.
The number of combat personnel alone is close to 200,000. Relying on the favorable terrain, it should be enough to withstand an elite division of the Blue Dragon Empire.
The key lies in how much air force and long-range forces the Blue Dragon Empire will invest in the battle of Yingruan Fortress.
Because the Blue Dragon Empire has a more advanced and complete air force than Moyang City.
Li Yunpeng estimated that Zhao Hailong would not be able to draw out too many advanced fighters and long-range forces under the huge pressure faced by the Jiangbei region.
The situation on both sides of the Lanlong River, which is located in Yingruan Fortress, is heating up step by step, and both sides are frantically increasing their troops there.
Although the war has not yet begun, infiltration, sabotage, assassination and other acts have occurred frequently.
The Blue Dragon Empire doesn't take the initiative to attack, and Li Yunpeng won't just look for trouble. After all, what he lacks is time. The artillery hasn't been mass-produced yet, and the population of Dejiang Province is also gathering.
It is a day to be able to delay, but Li Yunpeng is not afraid of anyone who is playing tricks. He summoned a large number of special forces to participate in the contest with the Blue Dragon Empire.
Even Tanya was sent to Jiangbei, and from the violent explosions on the other side from time to time, one could know how much damage this terrifying beautiful warrior had caused the enemy.
Glancing at the system panel, the population shows more than seven million, and half of the survivor forces in Dejiang Province have not yet been brought under his command.
Dejiang is a large economic province before the end of the world, and there is no military region, so the corresponding survivor forces are not well armed.
In the fight against zombie mutant beasts, he has always been at a disadvantage.
Wherever the guards went in Dejiang, there were monsters, ghosts and snake spirits, hidden invisibly.
When encountering those who are not open-eyed, under the iron-blooded wrists of Li Qi and others, they are quickly dealt with submissively.
However, the strength of the guard army was limited. In order to prevent the Blue Dragon Empire from fighting on two fronts, Li Yunpeng also stationed two armies in Sequoia City, so only Li Qi's 7th Army was active within Dejiang Province.
Not only must he defend the occupied territory, but he must also be on guard against rampant zombies and mutant beasts at all times. He has done his best to gather half of De Jiang's survivors. Now he can't spare a single soldier to expand a new one. The site is gone.
Li Yunpeng was anxious. If he controlled the entire Dejiang area, he should be able to meet the upgrade requirement of 10 million people.
The key is now that strong enemies are around, and he can't spare more troops to support De Jiang.
The situation in Yingruan Fortress is getting more and more serious. In various underground activities, both sides have suffered a lot. Generally speaking, Moyang City has the upper hand.
The Yingruan Fortress and Nudan City, which were hit, sealed off the ports one after another. As long as there is any movement on the river, both sides will destroy it in unison.
The attack lasted for many days, and finally calmed down slowly. Maybe Zhao Hailong calmed down a little. Anyway, the elite division of the Blue Dragon Empire on the other side has not launched an attack.
Li Yunpeng is happy to see it succeed, and the longer the delay, the better.
The 155mm heavy artillery finally came out of the production line through Zhou Gu's day and night efforts.
There are a total of two types of artillery in the first batch, one is towed and can move flexibly, and the other is a fortress gun suitable for installation in a solid bunker, which is tailor-made for the Eagle Nguyen Fortress.
After the artillery came off the production line, it was immediately transported to Yingruan Fortress and placed on the artillery positions that had been prepared long ago.
On the side along the river, several layers of stepped gray-white thick reinforced concrete fortress gun bunkers have already been built, and the artillery can be directly installed in place before it can be put into use.
In addition, there are also many artillery positions arranged in the mountains around the fortress.
In Yingruan Fortress, the artillery is increasing at a rate of dozens every day, and Li Yunpeng is more confident.
If it is a scene of tens of thousands of artillery fires, it will cause a devastating blow to the enemy's position.
This kind of artillery shells cannot be intercepted by anti-aircraft weapons at all. Once they fight, the number of shells invested by both sides will be millions.
Intercepting shells is theoretically feasible, but in practice no one can bear the huge gap between input and results.
The value of a Patriot anti-aircraft missile is a hundred times that of an ordinary grenade, and even Li Yunpeng can't afford it.
Although the Blue Dragon Empire has been standing still, Li Yunpeng will not dare to withdraw the troops from Yingruan Fortress for a while.
The speed of modern weapons and equipment is unparalleled. Once the enemy breaks in, all cities in the entire Xihai Province will be threatened within a few hours.
Therefore, the Blue Dragon Empire did not withdraw its troops, and Li Yunpeng did not dare to withdraw its troops easily. Only after a large number of artillery pieces were deployed would it be possible to transfer part of the troops to other places.
Li Yunpeng watched the briefing sent back from the border of Wulan Province. The Silver Wolf King had led his subordinates to fight the zombies and mutant beasts in Wulan Province. With the help of the West Navy's firepower, they fought consecutively, and their confidence skyrocketed for a while.
If Ren Xiao hadn't stopped him, the Silver Wolf King would have swelled to the point where he wanted to enter Wulan.
Li Yunpeng shook his head and smiled wryly, Silver Wolf King must have brought all the wolf concubines with him, otherwise how could he be so brave.
Regardless of humans or animals, males always try to be more brave in front of females.
Putting down the briefing, Li Yunpeng came to the Western Navy Command.
Wu Gang is also the president of the Adventurer's Guild and Xihai
The position of commander-in-chief of the army, so the headquarters is placed directly next to the adventurer's union.
Wu Gang, has the number of mercenaries increased recently? Li Yunpeng asked.
Commander, since the unification of the West Sea, the number of mercenaries has doubled. Even though many people joined the army last time, there are hundreds of thousands left.
Hmm. Li Yunpeng thought about it secretly, Recently, we will release more missions on the western border.
Okay, what are the specific tasks? Wu Gang asked.
What task? Any task is fine, go to the border to plant trees, open mountains and build roads, open up wasteland and cultivate fields, anyway, any task that can stay there for a long time is fine.
Wu Gang: ...
What are these tasks? Will someone go?
Uh...Master Commander, this...
Oh, it's okay, the task reward can be increased.
yes!
Although he didn't understand the commander's intention, Wu Gang still planned to resolutely carry out the order.
Li Yunpeng continued: In addition, the Adventurer's Union has opened up a large number of material exchange functions, such as gasoline and diesel, guns and ammunition, food, tobacco and alcohol, as long as it is something we have, we can exchange it all.
But one thing, I just want to evolve the crystal!
