The ten-nation coalition had suffered heavy losses. Except for the four countries on the battlefield, the other countries had also faced many berserk monsters. Although they were not forced to withdraw from the coalition like the two countries that had been crippled, their losses were still shocking to the top military officials.
But now that the situation had developed to this point, there was no turning back for either side. After a short period of communication, the various countries began to reorganize on the spot. The countries that had suffered greater losses were mixed with the countries that had suffered greater losses. In the end, four major army groups were integrated. They were all advancing with the central mechanized force of the American military transporting the large yield hydrogen bombs as the core. This was already the last of the army, and the distance to the plane connection point was about eight hours.
"… There's not enough time!"
In the center of the fully mechanized force that protected the nuclear bombs were the staff officers and commanders of several countries. They looked at the map, studying the next itinerary and the remaining time of the battle. Unfortunately, no matter how they calculated, even if they forced the army to march, they were still at least two to three hours away from their destination. Such a situation made everyone anxious.
Chu Hao was also staring at the map. At this moment, he had already taken off his spectacles. Without his spectacles, he seemed to have more emotions and expressions. He was no longer as cold as before. However, he seemed to be tired. It was with this tiredness that he was conversing with these staff officers and commanders.
"… Twelve hours is the safest time. The enemy may not necessarily send reinforcements as soon as the safe time arrives. And even if reinforcements come, the initial reinforcements may not be very strong. The enemy also needs to scout, confirm, then organize their forces, and finally invade. We still have enough time, but there's not much time left," Chu Hao said without raising his head.
There was not much time left. The people present were not fools. They also knew that organizing a war was not something that could be decided in a few hours. But with the arrival of the safe time, the situation after that would depend on luck. But this was related to the future of billions of people around the world. If it all depended on luck, then what was the use of these soldiers who fought and sacrificed for the sake of the world?!
"Force … Let's march!"
An old general, who was the commander with the highest age, military rank, and seniority, had listened to the suggestions of many staff officers. He had also watched the videos of various routes, the speed of advancement, the composition of the soldiers, the composition of the monster army, and the fighting strength of the berserk monsters. In the end, he could only bitterly give this order.
Of course, this was the 21st century. The so-called forced march referred to the absence of infantry troops and the use of various mechanized means of transportation. Although there was no physical problem of forced march, such forced march in the fog actually meant a large number of casualties. Currently, the relatively mature combat experience in the fog was very likely to be scrapped. In the following period of forced march, the number of casualties was likely to skyrocket.
Don't think that the soldiers of the developed countries were the so-called old soldiers and young masters. Perhaps during training or peacetime, the soldiers of these countries had high welfare and other treatment that was different from developing China. Therefore, if people who did not know the truth saw them, they would definitely think that they were old soldiers and young masters. Their fighting strength and fighting spirit would definitely be vulnerable. Without the high-tech weapons of the developed countries, they were likely to not even be able to defeat the armies of the weakest and poorest countries.
This kind of understanding was actually wrong from the root. What was an army? The essence of an army was a killing machine that obliterated human nature. Perhaps they could call each other brothers in peacetime, or perhaps there could be some loopholes outside the rules, or some skirmish. But when it came to war, military orders were as high as mountains. Even if there was a minefield in front of them, if they were ordered to roll over to clear the minefield, they had to roll over to clear the minefield. If there was even half a word of objection, a direct military execution would be considered a light punishment. Forget about military court, forget about military discipline. There was only one real thing, and that was war. Victory was that simple. Otherwise, in the later stages of World War II, when the American army faced the several Japanese islands and suffered heavy casualties, why didn't the American army, which was known as the young master soldiers of the rich countries, collapse? Because that was the army!
The situation was also applicable at this time. Perhaps the higher-ups would try their best to reduce casualties, but if it really came to a point where they had to fight, they would not care about the number of casualties. In their eyes, the so-called casualties of soldiers were just a number. Where did the saying that the merciful do not command soldiers come from? That was how it came to be!
After the order to force march was issued, although the supreme commanders of several countries were a little hesitant, their military literacy was definitely not bad. Naturally, they knew the significance and consequences of the forced march at this time. In this ten-nation coalition, although it was not explicitly stated, the United States was indeed the leader of the ten-nation coalition based on the location of the future soldiers' return, the nationality of the future savior, the location of the battlefield, and other factors. The order to force march was issued by the supreme commander of the United States army, and it was indeed a reasonable and necessary order, so the supreme commanders of the other countries did not have any intention of stopping it. Soon, the entire coalition army was aware of the forced march order.
The soldiers who had fought the fog monsters before naturally knew how terrifying the forced march was. This was because they weren't slowly moving forward like before. Instead, they were directly driving their vehicles forward. If they were unlucky and hit a huge monster, then everyone in the vehicle would die. Therefore, after the order was issued, many of the soldiers were trembling in fear. Some of them even sat on their vehicles while trembling.
However, this was a battlefield order issued by the military. How dare they not carry it out? The soldiers who were able to participate in the ten-nation coalition army were the most elite troops of each country. Putting aside the difference in their combat effectiveness, they would definitely carry out any battlefield order. After the order was issued, regardless of the fear and resentment in some soldiers' hearts, the entire coalition army began to move. They boarded their vehicles in the shortest time possible and began to move forward at the fastest speed. After the order was issued, the casualties in the army began to worsen.
After the order was issued, the number of casualties began to increase rapidly within an hour. The greatest number of casualties came from the foggy environment. Especially when the vehicles were moving at full speed, they might collide with the foggy monsters in the next second. Small and medium-sized monsters were not a problem, and they could even be crushed to death. However, for foggy monsters like the giant praying mantis, the vehicles would be sliced apart by the giant praying mantis. Not only would all the people in the vehicles die, but the other vehicles were not far away. When they encountered such a large monster, there would be dozens of casualties. If this continued, the number of casualties would exceed 6,000 in just an hour of forced march. Such a number of casualties made the commanders of the various armies turn pale.
However, after the forced march began, the speed of the army became much faster. Gradually, the coalition army got closer and closer to the Plane Connection Point. In fact, if it weren't for the fog, the long-range artillery in the coalition army would have been able to fire directly at the Plane Connection Point.
But what made everyone feel strange was that the closer they got to the Plane Connection Point, the more frequent the ground vibrated. Even the vehicles at the front would be lifted into the air for a moment when the vibrations occurred, as if there was a violent earthquake.
This situation naturally spread to the headquarters of the various armies. However, many people did not come up with any reliable conclusions. Instead, a large number of people thought that it might be that the plane connection point was expanding, causing the earthquake.
This conclusion was quickly overturned, because the two national armies at the forefront had encountered the most terrifying encounter …
These two national armies were currently at the front of the rolling forced march. Then, they crashed into a circle of buildings. Instantly, several armored personnel carriers were damaged, but fortunately, there were no casualties. When the people in the vehicles got out of the damaged vehicles, they were horrified to find that what they crashed into was not a building at all, but several incomparably huge biological limbs!
Yes, when the soldiers looked up along the limbs of the creatures, they could vaguely see the behemoth through the mist. The real behemoth wasn't the so-called behemoth that was two to three meters tall like a mantis, but this creature that was seventy to eighty meters tall in front of them. This creature was really too big. When the humans stood below it, they felt like ants. When they moved, they felt like they would be crushed to pieces if they were brushed by it.
While the human soldiers under the giant beast were still in a daze, the giant beast had already let out a loud roar. It raised its limbs and pressed down. More than ten human soldiers under it did not even have time to make a sound before they were directly trampled into meat paste. Not only that, the giant beast had already roared and charged toward the army. As it moved, the entire ground shook violently.
Now, everyone finally knew why the ground was shaking. A large number of people in the army were wailing and roaring, and a large number of gunshots were fired. However, even the heavy weapons on the vehicles were like a drizzle to such a giant beast. They couldn't stop it at all. In less than ten seconds, the giant beast had already rushed into the army formation. It lifted its limbs and stomped down. A series of vehicle explosions could be seen on the ground, and the entire army was in chaos. And that wasn't all … Everyone was even more shocked to discover that when the giant beast rushed into the army, from the depths of the fog, two huge shadows were rapidly approaching. Through the fog, they could vaguely see that those were …
They were two other giant beasts of the same size. They roared like thunder and charged straight into the army, attacking the army in a frenzy just like the first giant beast …
The human alliance … began to collapse!
