The southward offensive is progressing very smoothly.
Although the harshness of the Fanluo Desert exceeds that of the Mua Desert, especially in the latter half of the year when sandstorms are very common and often last for several days. Even camels, known as the "ships of the desert," struggle to survive in such an environment. However, for the Fifth Marine Division, which has been tested by the Boss Bay war, this 200-kilometer field march from Balmer to Trad is not considered difficult.
Of course, luck is also very important.
At least in the past few days, apart from the extreme day-night temperature differences, there haven't been any other discomforts in the Fanluo Desert.
The assault force commanded by Liu Zunshan set out on the night of the 13th, and by the morning of the 14th, they had traveled 100 kilometers, reaching near Gilha in the lower Luni River.
This is a small town in the desert, more accurately, it's an oasis in the lower reaches of the Luni River.
