The village was only a few kilometers away from the location of the battle, so when the battalion commander heard the gunshots, he knew that the battle had broken out. It seemed that the infantry company had encountered the rebel army.
Although he didn't know the outcome of the battle, he knew that a small rebel army was no match for them. After all, they were an elite force armed by American machinery.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, he found that the gunfire had stopped. It seemed that the battle was over. He was relieved that the rebel army had been eliminated. He could go back to the city to claim his credit.
However, what happened next left him dumbfounded.
A soldier ran over to the battalion commander in a panic and said,"Battalion Commander, it's bad. They've returned. They've been defeated, and many of them have died!”
The battalion commander widened his eyes and said in disbelief,""Who did you say lost?"
"Our people, they have less than 100 people back. The rebel army has very strong firepower, and they have chariots!”
The battalion commander felt his head explode. He then reacted and said,"Hurry up! Start the car and return to the town!"
At this moment, he realized that he was not safe. If the rebel army attacked later, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
However, Li Jiulong didn't order them to pursue the Qiandao Kingdom's army. There were too few troops now. If they all went out, the safety of the base would be compromised. This was the biggest capital for him to settle down in this world.
Now, he had to prepare for the war. He would have to face the attack of the regular army of the Thousand Island Kingdom. As long as he could hold on for a few days, he would have enough strength to launch a counterattack.
He was very clear about his next task. Other than developing the base and expanding the military strength, it was also to defend against the attack of the Thousand Island Kingdom's army.
However, he couldn't let the flames of war spread to the vicinity of the base. He decided to use the village as the front line to stop the Thousand Island Kingdom's army and buy some time for the base to develop.
Although there was only one platoon, he still had a base, and the village was within the construction area of the base.
Hence, Li Jiulong began to build a defense line in the village. He first built a defense line constructed with walls. At the same time, after asking the platoon leader of the mechanical infantry platoon, he set up a firing point on this defense line.
At present, the defensive buildings had unlocked machine gun bunkers, Gate cannons, and Patriot anti-air missile launchers.
When Li Jiulong saw the Gate Machine Guns, his eyes widened. Two six-barreled Vulcan Machine Guns. The firepower was terrifying, and there was an endless supply of ammunition.
However, this defense line also had its own shortcomings, which were the lack of long-range firepower and air superiority. The air superiority was better. With the Bullfrog tank and the Patriot air defense missile launcher, they could defend against the attack of fighter jets from the middle and high altitude. As for long-range firepower, they could only rely on unlocking weapons.
Li Jiulong studied the base carefully. Many of the more basic weapons could be unlocked by building the technology center. This made him heave a sigh of relief. However, the construction of the technology center would take two days, so he was destined to be passive defense for the next few days.
Li Jiulong immediately began to build the technology center after the construction of the barracks. As long as the technology center was completed, the strength of the base would be greatly improved.
After the battalion commander ran back to the town, he finally felt that his personal safety was guaranteed. At the same time, he felt very angry. On the way back, he finally received detailed information about the battle.
He believed that the biggest reason for the failure of this battle was that his men had underestimated the enemy. The enemy did not have many people, probably less than 100. Although they had tanks, they were only armored vehicles. They also had individual anti-tank missiles, which was not a problem.
He had to wash away his shame, so he began to recruit soldiers. The next day, he set off with two companies of soldiers.
However, when he saw the village from yesterday through the binoculars, he was dumbfounded.
"When did they build this line of defense?”The Battalion Commander said in shock.
In front of the village, there was a formation with small fortresses erected on it. This was obviously the firing point of the formation.
He remembered very clearly that when he left yesterday morning, there was nothing here. However, in just a short night, a line of defense had appeared.
However, he was not intimidated by this line of defense. He planned to scout out the situation in the vicinity first before deciding whether to attack.
The Red Alert base a few kilometers away was very lively. As he felt that the base was lacking in military strength, he gathered another mobilization platoon. His military strength had officially exceeded 100 people, with two infantry platoons and one infantry platoon.
Li Jiulong was also very clear about the arrival of the Thousand Island Kingdom's army. He didn't even need to send out soldiers to investigate. He could see the situation of this army clearly.
Li Jiulong touched his chin and said,""Fortunately, they don't have heavy firepower. But you don't have it, but I do!”After saying that, he chuckled. He originally thought that he could only have cannons after the technology center was built, but he didn't expect that he already had them. He just ignored them.
