424: Lao Liu asks for battle

Early the next morning, Old Liu arrived downstairs early to wait for Pan Han.

Pan Han hadn't done anything the night before; he had honestly slept with the two women, and after waking up, he felt refreshed.

No sore waist, no headache!

"Damn! That guy, Old Liu, is already waiting for me downstairs. Look at how anxious he is."

Pan Han sensed his surroundings slightly and discovered Old Liu was smoking downstairs.

"This Brother Liu! Sigh!" Cheng Xiao couldn't do anything about him either; she scrambled to the window and looked down.

"Brother Liu, wait a moment, the Commander will be down in a bit."

Although she had different opinions, since Pan Han had already made his decision, Cheng Xiao would still respect him.

"Yo, Seventh Sister! Don't talk with your shoulders bare, hurry back and put on some clothes, watch out for catching a cold." Old Liu glanced up and immediately pointed out.

"Ha, when Old Liu talks to you, he really has the bearing of an older brother." Pan Han covered his face and laughed.

Ellie also leaned in next to Cheng Xiao, curiously looking down.

Good heavens!

It was fine if Ellie didn't look, but one look and her eyes were burning!

Old Liu was wearing a military uniform, his collar buttoned tightly, fully loaded with gear, and he even had his helmet on.

"Pfft! Brother Liu is truly an interesting person."

Ellie returned to the bed to help Pan Han get dressed.

"How is it, is our Dawn Base okay?" Pan Han asked with special pride.

"Mm! It's much better than the Knight Order. There was no human touch over there. This place is like home." Ellie said with eyes full of joy.

"After I leave, learn more from Cheng Xiao. I'll arrange a position for you later."

"Understood, husband."

By the time Pan Han got dressed and went downstairs, Old Liu had already smoked four cigarettes.

"Commander, Old Liu reporting for duty! Hehe."

"Alright, alright. Let's go."

Pan Han waved his hand, and the two headed straight for the transport plane.

The battlefield was over 2000 kilometers away from the base, and the transport plane Pan Han brought would take over four hours to fly there.

Since last night, Asiba had received orders and had been working overnight to level the land and build a makeshift airfield.

Once the plane took off, Old Liu couldn't sit still; one moment he was fiddling with his firearms, the next he was looking out the window.

Seeing him like this, Pan Han thought that he really should let him out to get some activity.

Otherwise, if this kid stayed cooped up in the base for too long, he might develop some issues.

Four hours, it was fast enough, the plane had already begun to descend.

Before long, it landed on the makeshift airfield.

Asiba brought a few adjutants to welcome the arrival of their Commander.

After getting off the plane, Pan Han discovered that Asiba and the troops had already set up camp here.

Looking out, there were vast numbers of tents and armored vehicles.

"Commander, Old Liu!" Asiba saluted the two, sharp and standard.

Pan Han returned the salute and signaled to find a place to talk.

Asiba led the two to the command tent, while other adjutants directed the transport plane to load the seriously wounded.

Soon, the transport plane returned to Dawn Base with the seriously wounded.

The roar gradually faded, and Asiba began to formally report the battle situation.

"Commander, let me first talk about the situation of the various factions in Shanlan Prefecture."

Pan Han handed Old Liu a pack of cigarettes, and the two smoked while listening to the report.

"There are a total of six factions here. We previously defeated one of them, and the routed soldiers fled to the other five."

"But the area of Shanlan Prefecture is quite large. We haven't advanced very far before encountering guerrilla resistance from all the factions, and our progress is very slow."

"Moreover, the humans here are all hiding in the main cities of their factions. To win over the general public, we can only take down the main cities one by one."

Asiba spoke eloquently while pointing at the map, while Pan Han's brain was running at high speed.

"So, the people we encountered outside are all the warlords' men?"

"You could say that. But they are familiar with the terrain and appear and disappear unpredictably. And they run as soon as they finish attacking, so we have really suffered quite a few hidden losses."

Speaking of this, Asiba was a bit dejected; she originally had a wealth of skills and was full of energy, but unfortunately, she couldn't use her strength now.

Just relying on her wearing a mech, how many people could she take out?

"There are five main cities left, which one is closest to us?" Pan Han asked.

"Speaking of this makes me angry! Shanlan Prefecture is indeed large; the closest one is at least five hundred kilometers away from us. We advanced more than ten kilometers and lost over a hundred people. By the time we push to five hundred kilometers away, who knows how many we will lose!"

Pan Han nodded; fighting like this was indeed quite uncomfortable.

But if he encountered this situation himself, he would definitely do the same.

It showed that the opponent still had some brains.

"I suspect these six warlords have organized hundreds of waves of defensive lines. It's possible there are people ambushing every kilometer." The more Asiba spoke, the angrier she got; she reached out to take a cigarette and started smoking by herself.

"Mm, a few dozen people per ambush wave, their military strength is enough to support it." Old Liu nodded.

"Do these six have a leader?" Pan Han asked.

"Probably not. Usually, they fight among themselves, so their relationship probably isn't very good."

"In other words, our arrival has united them."

"It should be!"

Pan Han frowned after hearing this.

Although Shanlan Prefecture had this tradition, if no one was in unified command, it would be absolutely impossible to organize such a dense defensive force.

"Commander, Sister Asiba. Give me a unit, and I'll lead them to kill our way over! Just stab at their old nests." Old Liu suddenly stood up, his eyes burning.

"Pfft!" Pan Han couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"Old Liu, how will you kill your way over? The closest one is five hundred kilometers away."

"Commander, give me a dozen or so initial evolvers with good skills. We'll just run over there." Old Liu set his face, making the ultra-long-distance infiltration sound as easy as going to the bathroom.

"Brother Liu, it's useless for you to go over! The troops behind can't keep up, what will you do?" Asiba asked, looking puzzled.

"Aiy! Sister Xi Ba, since they are making us uncomfortable, we can't let them be comfortable either." Old Liu blew a big smoke ring.

"They are sleeping soundly in their main cities while we are here scared and worried! No way! I'll take people over there and fight guerrilla warfare outside their cities. If they dare to send people out, I'll fight. If they don't send people out, I'll snipe them from the outside. In short, do whatever makes them uncomfortable."

Old Liu said seriously and righteously.

Only Pan Han heard the subtext; this kid wasn't leading a breakthrough, he was clearly just itching for a fight.

However, what he said wasn't unreasonable.

Since the other side likes to harass, then let's do it on both sides, and neither will be comfortable.

"Good! Old Liu, since you are so proactive. Then you lead the team! Asiba, equip him with people and guns."

Pan Han didn't talk nonsense; he took action immediately.

"Understood! I have a special operations team here, about twenty people in total. I'll transfer them all to Brother Liu."

"Hehe, great! Sister Xi Ba, just watch how I turn them upside down." Old Liu rubbed his hands in excitement, itching to jump up.

"Asiba, let's not be idle either, let's start pushing forward."

"Alright! We've endured for a long time! This time, no matter what, we must take down a main city."

After finishing, the meeting adjourned, and everyone went their separate ways to prepare.

Pan Han contacted Cheng Xiao, telling the pilots to hurry up and replenish their energy, and for the ground crew to immediately repair the fighter jets, ready to support the western battlefield at any time.
