Northwest China, desert area.

This is the harshest area on the earth and the least populated area. However, as the Gaians began to enter the earth, this desert, known as the Sea of ​​Death, also welcomed uninvited guests.

The northwest base is not far from this desert, of course this refers to the flight distance, but for the Gaians who can sail at curvature, this distance is indeed not far.

At present, the Northwest Base is the most perfect, largest and most important base reserved by China. Its importance is self-evident. In order to ensure the absolute safety of the Northwest Base, the combat troops in the thousands of kilometers of areas with the Northwest Base as the core are fighting desperately against the attack of the Gaians, and in the cooperation of the Alpha forces, the Gaians were attacked.

But because of this, the Gaias began to pay attention to Alpha troops equipped with all-metal mechanical exoskeletons and high-frequency vibration particle knives, and began to increase their attack power on this area, which made the senior military personnel who originally formulated the combat plan of *No mistakes and felt like shooting themselves in the foot.

For the safety of the Northwest Base, the command decided to use Alpha troops as the core to divert the opponent's attack direction and began to break into the desert. The effect was good at the beginning, and the Gaians' attention was indeed attracted. The Northwest Base was temporarily safe, but when Alpha troops and other ground troops entered the edge of the desert to launch a tactic of fighting and retreating, the pressure was getting greater and greater in the pursuit of Gaians who had enhanced their attack power.

"No, if this continues, our troops will be finished." General Cao Zhen, the commander of the Alpha unit, frowned. He could see it in the desert and it was difficult to hide his whereabouts. In the past few days, under the attack of the Gaians' air force, the Alpha unit he led had suffered considerable casualties. This made him really worried.

"But the order given by our superiors is to lure the Gaias to ensure the absolute safety of the Northwest Base. It is precisely for this reason that we chose to break out in the desert." Political Commissar Bai Jianchuan also frowned. At that time, they had three choices to break out in the direction of the Kunlun Mountains. But the problem is that part of the Northwest Base is near the Kunlun Mountains, so the first direction of this breakthrough was rejected. The second direction is to break out east. But the problem is that going east is to enter the city scope, which will lead the war to civilians. More importantly, a large part of the areas in the East have been controlled by the Gaias. Judging from the power balance between the two sides, this is not a good choice.

In the end, they chose to go south, that is, break through to the southern desert area. But now the situation is getting worse and worse. Faced with the gathered Gaians, the casualties of the Alpha troops are getting worse day by day.

"Why do we turn around and walk southeast?" a captain suggested.

"No!" Cao Zhen looked at the map and immediately rejected it. The southeast is not a good place. It is better to be in the desert on the unobstructed grassland. At least the sand in the desert can sometimes provide some cover for them. If they are tracked by the Gaians on the grassland, the ground and air strikes will be carried out at the same time, and the Alpha troops will be completely finished.

"Chief, I know there is a place we can go and avoid it." Just as everyone was worried, another captain suddenly said.

"Where?" everyone asked.

The captain reached out to Cao Zhen for the electronic map. After operating it a few times, he handed it back to him, looking at the electronic map. There was a circle on it, and Cao Zhen immediately looked at him in confusion.

"This place is a small base in the area where I marked it. If I remember correctly, this small base not only has a lot of supplies, but also has a special team stationed. As long as we can reach this base, it will be considered safe."

"Small base? In the desert? Why don't I know?" The political commissar pointed his head and asked in confusion. Then he turned his eyes to Cao Zhen, and Cao Zhen also showed doubts and shook his head.

"I'm saying this is true or false? Don't you think it's a random thing?" The captain who had previously asked to break out to the southeast couldn't help but ask.

"Doesn't think about it? Can you talk nonsense like this? Don't forget that we are all soldiers!" The captain's face changed suddenly, and his expression became extremely angry. Such words almost insulted his identity as a soldier to him.

Cao Zhen also glared at the captain who was saying the wrong thing with dissatisfaction and sternly. The captain apologized to him repeatedly, and then Cao Zhen asked him directly how he knew there was a base here, because according to what he knew, there was no base set up in the depths of the desert.

"I also learned it by accident." The captain explained: "Last year, there was a training session and I encountered a guard force directly belonging to the Northwest Base on the road. However, although they were guard forces, their equipment was no worse than us. After talking to the other party's leader, I realized that their location was in the desert. However, the other party did not say the specific location at that time. According to my judgment, it should be within the circle I drew, because that day they happened to be the day for transportation and maintenance of the base. It was easy to calculate the approximate distance from the direction of the vehicle's advance..."

"The Northwest Base is directly under the security force?" Cao Zhen frowned and thought for a while, and then asked several questions. When the captain answered one by one, Cao Zhen felt that his judgment should be correct. Although he was not unfamiliar with the Northwest Base's security force, according to what he knew, the Northwest Base's security force should not appear in the depths of the desert. Is there still a situation he didn't know?

He could not verify this question now. But according to the captain's answer, his judgment was not wrong. With the quality of the commander of the Alpha troops, it was indeed easy to guess the general location of the other party. More importantly, the base and supplies touched Cao Zhen's heart. If he could supplement there, or even take a few days off, it would be of great help to the already exhausted Alpha troops and the ordinary army led by him.

In addition, there are two other problems that make Cao Zhen excited. First, the minor and serious wounded personnel in the team must be resettled, which is an urgent situation. Second, according to the captain's statement that the base in the desert and the guard troops stationed at the Northwest Base, can we use this force to replenish the military power?

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen made up his mind decisively. He quickly issued an order to adjust the route and sent a small group of troops to reconnaissance according to the scope circled by the captain. The main force then rushed towards the depths of the desert before the Gaia pursuers completely bit their tails. (To be continued...)
