Chapter 122 Low Temperature
The previous book said that under the command of Mengzhi, the Pacific Front finally had a temporary base to recuperate.
In addition, a certain reorganization is also taking place within the expeditionary force.
In addition to the familiar future technology company, the Mengjun intelligence department has also begun to undergo certain reorganization.
The first thing is to eliminate people like the Mengjun intelligence officers, who are responsible for supplementing information and swearing in the weather controller.
The Eagle Army's FBI, CIA, Ou Meng's MI6, the elite personnel in the Pacific Front's intelligence task force and some outstanding GDI intelligence personnel will be merged into a new agency - the Unusual Incidents Bureau, referred to as UIU.
After a certain amount of training, their professional level will at least be comparable to that of Seris's Intelligence Department.
And they also obtained some anti-mind control components through GDI, which also makes them immune to forced mind control such as Psychic Beacons and Psychic Dominators.
Their primary mission is to send agents to collect intelligence on the Epsilon headquarters and provide accurate attack targets for their own super weapons such as lightning storms and ion cannons.
As for the PsiCorps and the headquarters guards at this time, under the leadership of Yuri, they temporarily slowed down the encirclement of the Paradox Expeditionary Force. At this time, they were preparing for a special battle - a battle to reorganize Epsilon.
The Moe Army also seized this precious opportunity and began to reorganize the various departments of the expeditionary force, using Epsilon's cloning vats and local civilians to retrain the army and investigate Epsilon's latest intelligence.
About a week later, UIU agents quickly sent the collected information to the expeditionary command.
The expeditionary command also found the super-large fortress built by Epsilon in Cape Town, South Africa.
Everyone in the command center also concluded that even if this was not the headquarters of Epsilon, it was an important transit station and information hub for communication with their headquarters.
But when the main force of the expeditionary force and the Pacific Front, the Boomerang Legion and the Southern Cross Legion reorganized by Ou Meng launched an unprecedented battle and defeated the Epsilon army in Cape Town in one fell swoop.
An emergency distress signal from the city of San Juan disrupted the Boomerang Corps' combat deployment.
After questioning the mind-controlled Eagle Army and investigating the Special Incidents Bureau, the Boomerang Corps also confirmed the authenticity of the distress signal.
The composition of the Meng army that sent out the distress signal is quite complex. Among them are the Eagle Army that has been resisting since World War III, and the Eagle Army that fled here after the fall of the Eagle Sauce homeland. In general, the number of this Eagle Army is not small.
As for why there were Eagle troops there during World War III, in fact, in MO's worldview, Puerto Rico is an important overseas territory right next to the Eagles.
During World War III, while the Latin Americans raided the Eagle Sauce homeland, they also arranged troops to try to seize control of Puerto Rico. Before the series of Waterloo battles such as San Antonio, St. Louis, and Chicago, the Eagle Army Command also attached great importance to this small piece of land and continuously dispatched troops to reinforce Puerto Rico.
In this way, the two sides were deadlocked in this small piece of land, even during the truce period between the end of World War III and the outbreak of the Mental Omega War.
Most of the Eagle Army soldiers who fled from their homeland either went to Puerto Rico or Alaska.
When the fleeing Eagle Army reached Puerto Rico, before they could regroup, the large force of the PsiCorps and the headquarters guards heard the news and arrived.
After a less intense resistance, Epsilon quickly established a Psychic Beacon network to control the Latin Tongmeng troops here and all Eagle troops except for the city of San Juan, turning the situation between the three countries into a two-on-one situation in seconds.
The Eagle Army, which suffered heavy losses, had to abandon all its vehicles and outposts. They could only huddle together in a corner in the southwest of the city and shiver.
As for why Epsilon didn't destroy them in one fell swoop, in fact, the pagans here also knew that the Eagle Army here was at the end of its rope.
In order to prevent the Eagle Army in San Juan from fighting desperately and causing unnecessary losses, the pagan also established mental beacons in the city. After the beacons are charged, these Eagle Army will become an important fighting force of the Epsilon Army.
The Boomerang Legion, knowing the situation, decided to rescue the Eagle Army after a brief discussion.
Although doing so may cause irreparable losses to the Boomerang Corps and bring unnecessary trouble to the Virgin Islands, the Boomerang Corps still intends to do so.
On the one hand, this can enhance the strength of the expeditionary force. You must know that these Eagle Army soldiers are all veterans of hundreds of battles. Their strength is much stronger than those filler babies trained with two hundred bottles of Coke.
On the other hand, it is to ease the conflict between the Boomerang Legion and the Eagle Army represented by Mengzhi in the expeditionary force, which will also help to eliminate the gap between them.
Soon the Boomerang Corps sent Kusaka Yosuke to command the operation, but to be on the safe side, Orlando, who had no mission at the moment, was also drafted in to help.
According to the investigation of UIU agents and space-based networks, the Epsilon and its puppet army in San Juan City are numerous and widely distributed. They have established a large base in the west and northwest of the city. The city is full of patrols composed of the army and air force.
The situation of the Eagle Army in the encirclement was not optimistic. Except for a part of them who were captured, the rest were hiding in the temporary defense line outside the city.
The only way for them to evacuate was the large bridge in the northeast of the city, which was controlled by the port building in the east of the city. Around the port building there happened to be an abandoned Eagle Army outpost protected by defense towers and a small number of troops.
The original commandos' mission was to destroy Epsilon's defense towers one by one to retake the outpost, but a photo sent by the UIU agent changed their battle plan.
The photo shows that there are a large number of oil drums around several Epsilon technological power plants that provide power to defense towers.
Because this heretic was greedy for speed and the number of mobile defense vehicles was limited, there were no safety devices in these defense towers. Therefore, if the power plant was destroyed, the defense towers here would also self-destruct due to lack of power.
The next step was easy. The commandos commanded by Yosuke Kusaka and Orlando would first clear out the enemy forces around the port building and bypass the outpost's defense network by water, destroying the power station unexpectedly from behind the enemy and taking back the outpost.
After retaking the outpost and controlling the port building, the Boomerang Legion will hold on here and block Epsilon's counterattack.
Those Eagle troops will also rush to the evacuation point via the bridge and go to the Virgin Islands via Traveler transports and GDI-sponsored Condor transports and heavy transports.
In order to ensure that everything goes well, in addition to the navy, army and air force arranged outside the battlefield, the Boomerang Legion also specially recruited the Alloy Squad of the Southern Cross Legion, the 141 Squad under the UIU, and a team of Reversers to take charge of this mission.
(141 members: John McTavish (Soap), Gary Sanderson (Cockroach), Simon Riley (Ghost), John Price, Gaz and Nicolai)
At the same time, Orlando also applied to the Paradox Expeditionary Force for reinforcements from the trans-dimensional reinforcements and GDI's rapid reaction force to deal with the counterattack launched by Epsilon.
Soon, the three well-trained teams boarded a special transport plane and prepared to sneak into the southeastern urban area of San Juan under the cover of night.
"Long time no see, Price."
"You too, Steele. This might be our first collaboration."
"Yes, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
"Alright, captains. We will arrive at our destination in three minutes. Everyone, prepare for battle."
At this time, the driver Nikolai interrupted the conversation between the two captains.
"Okay, John, let's see who can kill more Epsilon lackeys."
"Yes, as long as it does not affect the mission."
Soon the three teams entered the southeastern urban area of San Juan by water and land.
(The Reversal Squad consists of ten people, with the two commanders commanding half each. The Alloy Squad is commanded by Orlando, and the 141 Squad is commanded by Kusaka Yosuke.)
Just after the commandos used the ability of the Reversers to eliminate some of the defenders and defense towers in the southeast city without any damage, UIU agent Lasswell, who was responsible for providing intelligence, reminded them.
"Commanders, according to the intelligence provided by UIU agents, a group of riot control troops are being held in a temporary prison in the southwest of the city.
If we rescue them, we may be able to get rid of the enemy garrison buildings and infantry more quickly." Lasswell, the intelligence officer, reminded us.
"Got it, Lasswell." X2
Next, the commandos, under the command of Orlando and Yosuke Kusaka, headed towards the temporary prison in the west.
In addition, UIU agents lurking here also occupied the Air Force Command and Radar Tower in the southeast city area.
Soon Orlando obtained access to the reconnaissance satellite, and Yosuke Kusaka also obtained the right to use the reconnaissance crow.
"Attention, there are two half-tracks at nine o'clock."
"The Reversalist will put a reversal field on them and kill them."
"Watch out for the geomagnetic coils. Ghost, blow up the oil barrels over there to destroy that telephone pole.
Pierce, after the Reverser puts on the Reversal Field, go over and use C4 to blow up the coil by the river. Alloy, use your Prism Rifle to finish him off."
After Ghost's three shots blew up the oil barrel, the chain reaction caused by the explosion destroyed all the surrounding coils and garrison buildings.
After bypassing the garrison buildings on the road and the raiders patrolling in the air, the commandos successfully arrived at the outpost at the bridgehead.
Looking at the spiders and radiation engineers stationed at the gate of the outpost, the two also noticed the oil drums inside and outside the outpost.
“He’s in my scope. He’s in my scope.”
As several gunshots rang out, the oil drums outside the outpost exploded, and the explosion also detonated the ammunition boxes, oil drums and suicide jeeps inside the outpost.
Before the remaining defenders of the outpost could react, the commandos cleared the outpost at lightning speed.
After crossing the bridge, the commandos also arrived at the outskirts of the temporary prison.
After Frost shot the oil barrel, the explosion also detonated the suicide jeep and other oil barrels parked outside the prison.
After the explosion, the defenders outside the prison were basically wiped out, and the only magnetic coil became a crooked tree. Steele also shot it away with one shot.
After destroying the few remaining sentry guns in the prison, the riot control troops were successfully rescued.
(On the importance of disarming prisoners, and why do we have to have armed prisoner-of-war camps?)
In the PsiCorps base in San Juan City, after hearing the continuous explosions and the news that the temporary prison guards had lost contact, even the insane garrisoned here realized that the Moe Army's commandos were coming.
He also immediately arranged a Black Hand force and radiation engineers at the bridgehead to cooperate with the garrison buildings to try to stop the commandos.
However, facing the well-equipped Alloy Squad and Squad 141, these soldiers were quickly wiped out like the Trisolarans attacking the Earthlings.
After the riot control troops used flash bombs to eliminate the garrison in the civilian houses, the commandos returned along the same route and rushed to the base towards the ferry on the east side of the Meng army.
When they arrived at the outskirts of the Moe Army outpost, Orlando and Kusaka Yosuke decided to split their forces into two groups.
Orlando commanded the Alloy Squad and the Reversers to rush from the ferry to the power station.
Yosuke Kusaka commanded Team 141, the Reversal Soldiers, and the riot control troops to deal with the defense towers and garrison buildings outside the outpost.
