Chapter 687, The Eldest Son Legion

"Reinforcement?"

Lin Xiaodong, who was filled with hope, even walked out of the command vehicle and looked into the distance with a telescope.

He saw a bright red flag planted on the high hilltop in the direction of the tank company's charge.

And that direction was the source of the fierce artillery fire of the Zerg. The biological artillery of the Zerg nest should be there.

Lin Xiaodong could also recognize who the bright red flag came from: the eldest son army from Frost Plain.

Their uniforms have always been bright red, and they wear the iconic long-haired leather earmuffs, with the Empire's Sky Eagle logo in the middle of the hat. The soldiers of this Star Army Corps basically come from a nest world called "Frost Plain" in the northern border of the Empire. According to the tradition of Frost Plain, the eldest son of every family in this planet's family should enter the legion to serve.

In addition, the entire planet has a fairly abundant geothermal energy, ore raw materials, and long-term cooperation with the Mechanicus, and the productivity is relatively developed, and equipment can be self-produced.

The relatively harsh natural environment on the planet has also cultivated the very tenacious qualities of the Frost Plain people.

The combination of many factors makes the combat effectiveness of the Firstborn Legion quite outstanding.

Although the natural environment of the entire planet is average, it maintains a good stability through strong military power. The huge military force is enough for them to form a star army and accept the call of various parties in the empire.

The Firstborn Legion has been active in various parts of the empire for a long time. In the past thousand years, it has participated in many wars. It has not only made considerable military exploits and gained many benefits for its home planet, but also become a well-known star army legion in the entire empire.

When the Northern Front Legion was established, the Firstborn Legion joined; then, they also increased the stakes many times and sent more troops. At the peak, the Firstborn Legion had as many as 50 million troops in the Northern Front Army.

However, it should no longer exist now.

They should have lost in the naval battle of the Northern Front Army.

To be honest, the Firstborn Legion lost quite unfairly.

It has nothing to do with them at all. You can't let these soldiers of the Star Army take the blame for the failure of the naval battle.

On the contrary, they are the biggest victims. They did nothing wrong, but tens of millions of people disappeared.

The remnants of the Northern Front Army rescued by the Alliance did not include the members of the Firstborn Legion. It is even more impossible for them to be in this tactical operation of landing on the ground with huge losses.

Where did the group of Firstborn Legion soldiers who raided the Zerg living artillery position on the other side of the mountain come from?

Could it be that they were the troops left on the ground in Reyaduches when the Northern Front Army was defeated a year and a half ago?

They held out for a year and a half without any external supplies, with the orbit completely out of control and the Zerg constantly besieging them?

It's incredible.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Let the comrades move faster! Don't waste the opportunity!"

"Try to contact the troops suspected to be the Firstborn Legion in front, confirm the situation, and discuss what to do next."

...

"Let them quickly set up artillery positions, cooperate with us to eliminate this Zerg army, and then follow us and set off together. Our goal is an air defense nest 40 kilometers away from us."

The person who spoke was Qin Zhiping, the senior judge of the Anti-foreign Tribunal. At this moment, he was wearing a feedback power armor, and there were ten silver watch soldiers around him, fighting side by side with him and the soldiers of the Firstborn Legion.

He had eliminated many living artillery and was doing the final cleanup work. And several vanguard companies of the Firstborn Legion had built firepower positions on the top of the mountain to block the retreat of the Zerg swarm.

After the firepower position from a high position was built and the artillery position of the Alliance Army was set up to provide abundant firepower cover, Qin Zhiping led his ten Space Marines of the Silver Watch, under the cover of many soldiers of the Firstborn Legion, to launch an assault on the Zerg that was blocked from front and back, and completed the decapitation operation.

That was an "executioner".     This is a high-level unit in the Zerg swarm, and its combat power can even beat ordinary Space Marines. At the same time, it is also the highest node creature of the current Zerg army. When its head was cut off, all the low-level insects next to it immediately became demented.

Although the subsequent battle lasted for a while, it was not long, and the price paid was much lower than the normal battle with this Zerg army.

After the two troops joined together, Lin Xiaodong, the division commander of the Alliance Army, asked about their situation in surprise.

Qin Zhiping did not refuse to answer, but asked the two troops to unify their command first and go with him to attack an anti-aircraft insect cave.

After conquering it, at least the troops landing later in the near-ground part of this area will be safer.

Lin Xiaodong thought about it for a while and agreed.

Firstly, their mission was to try to join up with the surrounding friendly forces after landing, establish a stable ground position, and receive the troops that landed later. And if they could directly attack and destroy an enemy's anti-aircraft insect nest, it would obviously be a better choice.

Secondly, there would be no problem in letting Qin Zhiping command them. This chief judge of the anti-foreign order has a very high status and can even talk to their Governor Gu. There is no problem in commanding their division with only one-tenth of the troops left.

On the contrary, Colonel Lin was more surprised why Qin Zhiping was here.

Although he didn't know him and his identities were far from each other, when Lin Xiaodong was in the sky, he knew that Qin Zhiping was an important figure among the remnant troops of the Northern Front who were rescued.

It seemed a bit strange that the key figures of the remnant troops of the Northern Front who were rescued by the Alliance were mixed with the Eldest Son Legion that disappeared a year and a half ago.

On the way, Qin Zhiping explained the reason to Colonel Lin.

So far, there is nothing to keep secret.

In fact, he was the first group of people to land on the ground in this battle, much earlier than Lin Xiaodong and his group.

However, they did not come down by boat. Otherwise, it would be a waste to send important figures like Qin Zhiping and precious combat forces like Space Marines to the ground with such a high casualty rate.

They landed on the ground through Gu Hang's psychic transmission method.

In the military meeting before the battle, he specifically mentioned that a year and a half ago, the Northern Front Legion had invested a lot of ground forces on the ground of Reyaduches.

When the fleet collapsed later, these people were abandoned.

But Qin Zhiping believed that there must be quite a few people who were still alive.

Maybe not many, but these people should not be ignored.

If they can be used, it would be much more useful than the loss of troops with a success probability of only single digits. If they really exist and can be organized, they can help a lot.

One hundred people are equivalent to three thousand people airborne - after all, the success rate of the initial transport spacecraft landing is only 3%. Lin Xiaodong's division was lucky to have two of the twelve regiments landed. Some divisions were fully staffed when they set out, but no one survived the landing.

His proposal was supported by Gu Hang. He was not the kind of person who only proposed ideas. He took the initiative to ask to be the first batch of people to be teleported to the ground with psychic energy to contact the remnants of the northern line who might survive.

He really made contact.
