"Report, a large number of enemy armed trains are approaching" came the news from the ground checkpoint.
At the same time, the remaining cameras on the ground also transmitted images of the enemy back to the second headquarters.
It can be seen on the monitor that at least dozens of armed trains enter the city of nuclear corpses in a sea of fire from different directions.
Xiao Ming silently calculated that each train could carry a battalion of 300 troops, and the total strength of both sides was equal.
The powerful long-range firepower of the Empire's armed forces has lost its use, and the Resistance Army has the advantage.
The outcome of this battle depends on the fighting will and tactical use of both sides.
"All units pay attention and prepare to fight" the highest order was issued to combat troops on all lines of defense.
Since the first floor of Base Two has been destroyed and collapsed, the enemy needs to open a direct passage to the second floor.
The enemy's engineers were dispatched to carry out secondary blasting in the crater from the first bombardment until a large hole was opened.
Amidst the rumbling explosions above their heads, the Resistance Army's "armored troops" and hovercars equipped with heavy machine guns were dispatched one after another to find the enemy's blasting point and wait.
When the enemy comes down, it is equivalent to the moment when the landing troops just set foot on the shore.
The footing is not stable and the target is obvious.
It is the best time for the defense to be weakest and to concentrate the attack.
However, Xiao Ming's wishful thinking was wrong.
What fell first was not the enemy's vanguard, but anti-tank grenades, rolling around, making loud noises one after another.
Hundreds of hovercrafts, half of them were scrapped in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ming hurriedly ordered the remaining hovercars to retreat and join various defense lines.
In the first round of the ground battle, the enemy gained the upper hand.
Obviously, the opponent's commander is not a vegetarian either.
Immediately afterwards, groups of imperial soldiers used ropes to descend, flew straight down, quickly established a "beachhead position", and launched an in-depth attack.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief that the cinema has been lost, the workers' dormitory area has been lost, and the hospital has been lost."
In the second headquarters, the correspondents were standing in front of the telephone, the staff were running around, and the unfavorable battle conditions reached Xiao Ming's ears one after another.
Xiao Ming stared at the monitor calmly, the ground beneath his feet shaking from time to time.
Those were the engineers of the Resistance Army, blowing up the passages to the third floor one by one, leaving only the passages to the inner defense line.
The sound insulation of the Second Command was very good, and the sound of gunfire outside could hardly be heard, but it could not isolate the shock of the explosion.
The underground area of the base is equivalent to the size of a city.
Even if Xiao Ming invested 3,000 troops on the outer defense line, he could only defend all key points.
On the monitor, Imperial soldiers wearing gray-white combat uniforms and skull helmets were moving forward step by step in squad units.
The enemy came prepared, and each squad was equipped with anti-tank rocket launchers to deal with the ruggedly-shelled hover vehicles.
The X-rifles of the imperial soldiers were of great use in ground battles between humans, causing a large number of casualties to the resistance forces.
The main weapon of the resistance fighters is submachine guns, supplemented by heavy machine guns and flamethrowers.
The biggest advantage is that they are familiar with the terrain.
They combine positional warfare and guerrilla warfare, which also inflicts great costs on the enemy.
Xiao Ming's biggest worry is that the enemy will release super-X virus gas.
The filter covers manufactured by the base are limited, which can only meet the needs of the army and are not distributed to most people.
Once the people inside the base undergo nuclear mutation, the war will be impossible to fight.
It seems that another piece of information from Caesar is true.
The enemy does not intend to completely annihilate the Republic.
They intend to capture civilians alive and restart the Steam City.
After all, it is more important to ensure one's own survival than to destroy the enemy.
"One of my regiments was wiped out."
The commander of the Fifth Division, who had just returned from the front line, was covered in gunpowder smoke and had smoke coming from his throat.
He sat down on a chair and asked the guards to get some water.
The Resistance Army has five divisions in total.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions are stationed in the capital, and the 4th and 5th Divisions are stationed in Base No. 2.

"Fifth division commander, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Ming's condolences were emotionless.
In his eyes, the casualties of his subordinates were just a bunch of numbers.
He said in a deep voice, "Pass my order.
All comrades must be present in every position to defend every position." , fight to the last moment and fight the enemy to the last drop of blood.
Anyone who escapes from battle will be shot on the spot."
On the underground battlefield, blood and fire intertwined, and the battle became fierce.
The casualties on both sides were equal.
Every battle position was piled with corpses of soldiers, and the ground was filled with blood.
The outer defense line withstood the enemy's crazy attack, and at dawn, half of the position was still under the control of the resistance forces.
When the snow stopped, you could see that among the ruins on the ground, there were charred corpses everywhere, like a hell on earth.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived."
A staff officer trotted over nervously.
Xiao Ming also saw it.
In the gray sky, a group of black aircraft flew in.
They were the imperial air force.
Suddenly he had an idea and asked the Fourth Division Commander beside him: "There are airplanes in the hangars in the capital.
Do we have them here?"
The fourth division commander's voice became hoarse, and he replied in a hoarse voice: "Yes, yes, but unfortunately the take-off and landing platforms were blown up by the enemy, making it impossible to take off."
Xiao Ming regretted that he was a pilot of both helicopters and fighter jets.
If he could return to Base No. 1, he would definitely build up the Republic's air force.
Can he go back?
He must go back.
That's where he lives and dies.
As he spoke, large transport planes hovered over the city of nuclear zombies.
Countless imperial soldiers descended from the sky and poured into Base Two like ants from the underground passage opened by the forward troops.
The enemy troops, who had been supplemented by fresh troops, had their morale greatly boosted.
They shouted "Long live the Empire, Long Live Xism" and launched continuous charges.
Faced with the enemy's superior strength, the officers and soldiers of the resistance army faithfully implemented Xiao Ming's orders.
They stayed in the position and did not leave the firing line until death.
Shouting the revolutionary slogan "Fight for freedom, freedom belongs to the people", they launched a counterattack and died together with the enemy.
This extremely tragic scene was displayed on the monitor of the Second Command, and all eyes were turned to the commander-in-chief.
Although the war situation is developing in an unfavorable direction, everyone knows that this is the best situation at present.
If it hadn't been for the commander-in-chief's timely handling and effective deployment, the entire army would have been wiped out.
Xiao Ming, who had remained calm all this time, finally twitched the corner of his mouth, and made a difficult and difficult decision: "Instruct all ministries to abandon the outer line of defense and retreat to the middle line of defense.
Count the losses and report to me."
The abandonment of the outer defense line means that the enemy has completed the encirclement of Base No. 2.
Soon, the statistics came out.
The defenders on the outer defense line had lost more than 2,000 people, the guerrilla mobile troops had also lost more than 1,000 people, and there were only a dozen hovercrafts left.
Xiao Ming's heart was filled with ups and downs.
In just half a night, he had already lost one-third of his troops.
At this rate, by nightfall, the whole army would be wiped out.
He gritted his teeth and issued another order.
The remaining hovercrafts, together with several guerrilla ships, were all gathered in the parking lot near the second headquarters and were on standby.
Xiao Ming knew that he did not expect reinforcements.

He was fighting a battle with no hope of victory.
He could only prepare for the worst and take away as many troops as he could at the last moment.
Because his biggest responsibility is not here, but at Base One.
Xiao Ming glanced at the monitor on the third floor.
Seventy thousand people were distributed in various work units in the production area in an orderly manner.
Amidst the intensive sound of gunfire overhead, they were still producing and working as usual.
They were so calm, as if the outcome of this battle had nothing to do with them.
Xiao Ming felt guilty and could only leave them to the enemy.
He comforted himself in his heart that the enemy needed these people anyway and would not kill them.
"Commander in chief, give me a squad to sneak to the ground and shake up the enemy's rear."
Blade, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly called for battle.
Perhaps, he saw Xiao Ming's final decision and tried to use his own efforts to save Base No. 2 from falling.
Xiao Ming was stunned.
He was never willing to take risks with Blade.
After all, Blade was a fighting master who was as good as him, one in a million.
Good steel should be used on the blade instead of making unnecessary sacrifices.
Before he could think of an excuse to refuse, Jing Chun also intervened: "Commander-in-Chief, I also request to join."
Xiao Ming was even more hesitant, and he didn't want to take this risk.
However, everyone in the Second Command was watching.
He couldn't be too obvious and let others fight without letting his own people participate in the battle.
The blade looked directly into his eyes: "Commander-in-Chief, the outcome of this battle is no longer important.
We must prove to our enemies, and more importantly to our people, that for the sake of freedom, we can bleed, sacrifice, and even give our lives."
Only in this way can we live up to this symbol, the symbol invented by you."
As he spoke, Blade slowly raised his right hand, with his little finger and ring finger curled up, his middle finger and index finger standing up to form a "V", and his thumb pointing vertically downward to form a "Y" sign.
Everyone in the Second Command raised the "Y" sign high, with reverence on their faces, and said in unison: "Fight for freedom."
Xiao Ming was shaking all over, his eyes were blurred, and before his eyes were brothers, comrades-in-arms, and even complete strangers comrades who died for this symbol.
This gesture he inadvertently invented has not only become the national emblem and military emblem of the Republic, not only engraved on his body, but also deeply engraved in the hearts of every soldier and civilian, becoming a beacon that illuminates the darkness.
No, he cannot admit defeat or give up easily.
Even if there is only one percent hope, he will try his best This is him: the immortal champion, the terrifying Xiao Ming, the man like the wind How many times has he been on the verge of despair?
How many times has he turned the tide?
He can create miracles, and he has created many miracles
Xiao Ming's eyes shone with perseverance, and he raised his right hand.
The straight "y" was like a sharp sword, piercing the sky, and said: "Give me the microphone.
I want to speak to you in the name of the commander-in-chief of the resistance army."
