Mecha and Knife

In the conference room of Base No. 6, Ji Xinghe sat in an inconspicuous position, but he was the most conspicuous person in the conference room.

Related videos from Base No. 3 are being played on the screen, one after another, shocking.

There was no missile passing through the dust storm at all, only a sudden explosion, because the visibility in the dust storm was only about 100 meters, and this distance was too short for the speed of the missile.

The mechanism of the anti-missile system has never relied on seeing.

When monitoring devices such as early warning radars and early warning satellites are difficult to play a role due to the influence of dust storms, the anti-missile system has almost become a decoration.

In the process of playing the video, Instructor Wang next to Ji Xinghe introduced some relevant information to him in a low voice. Instructor Wang is an old acquaintance of his. He and Instructor Li are veterans of the same period. The knowledge reserves in these areas far surpassed that of a half-way monk like him.

"The federation's missile defense system mainly relies on the space-based laser system. The most important part of this system is the space-based laser satellite on the alien synchronous orbit, which can provide us with strategic and tactical ballistics within the range of the alien planet. Missile early warning, reliable and stable tracking of ballistic missiles from the boost phase..."

"To put it simply, the missiles launched by the empire are intercepted while they are still rising, or when they climb to a certain height and begin to fly to the surface. This is the most effective and appropriate interception stage."

"Space-based laser satellites are equipped with staring and scanning laser detection systems, but because of dust storms, it is difficult for scanning detectors to pass fast area scanning. The bright tail flame of the engine. When the scanning detector cannot function, the staring detector cannot observe a specific area, nor can it accurately track the target."

"We don't know the trajectory direction, flight speed, and flight altitude, so we can't effectively intercept it. Similarly, the surface early warning radar and X-band ground-based radar in the missile defense system are all ineffective due to dust storms. Our combat management and command and control systems for missile defense are almost all decorations. Alas, the system built with more than 600 billion yuan costs tens of billions of maintenance costs every year. If it is useless, it is useless. Those Yingzhou guys... Cough, I still have to blame the dust storm."

According to the relevant information that Ji Xinghe knows, the Federation is ahead of the Empire in terms of missile technology, but this does not mean that the Empire is completely behind. The Empire that can develop rockets, satellites, spaceships and warships, in this respect How could it be impossible?

The essence of a missile is actually a rocket equipped with different types of bombs.

It's just because the emperor is afraid of orangutans and monkeys, and bombards his palace with missiles, just like he is afraid of nuclear weapons. These strategic resources are only in the hands of the emperor, so the overall development does not seem to be as good as the federation.

The states of the Commonwealth have historical backgrounds, as well as existing powers, to study such weapons.

"Since this has happened before, our response strategy is to send individual starships to track the trajectory of the Imperial missiles determined by analysis, to find the precise launching position of the Empire, and then carry out precise strikes on them from space or the surface. "

Instructor Wang continued to introduce in a low voice, the position of these representatives of the mech fighters is very biased, and will not affect other people, and the other representatives of the mecha fighters beside them are also listening.

"But individual starships are not fighter jets. The flight mode and the atmospheric environment of the alien planet mean that it is very difficult to operate, and they are also affected by dust storms. They all use their lives to find the location and then send the coordinates back."

"But sometimes it's too late, if they find that the missiles of the empire are launching, and the ammunition on their individual starships has been exhausted... Many people will choose to drive the individual starships directly to the artillery positions of the empire according to the situation .”

Hearing this sentence, Ji Xinghe thought of the first time he met Tu Yuan, he told him to give him an individual starship, and he could hit any position according to the order, as long as there were imperial orangutans there.

He wasn't able to pilot the individual starship, but someone was piloting it, and there were a lot of people launching suicide attacks.

No, this is not an attack, this is protection.

Huang Shisan, will you join this combat mission?

"This is really stupid. Missiles don't hit every time. The empire doesn't have satellites on alien planets, and they can't guide them precisely. They can only set the coordinates to let the missiles fly by themselves. In the dust storm, the error exceeds One kilometer is normal. And individual starships are really expensive, and their lives are even more expensive..."

Instructor Wang suddenly fell silent, and had no intention of continuing to teach Ji Xinghe science.

He is an instructor in the training area of ​​the living base. He trains not only mecha fighters, but all recruits who come to Alien Star generally have to undergo adaptive training in the living base to get used to the environment of the Alien Star. There are only a very small number of recruits with extraordinary talents. , to be able to go directly to the barracks.

So those individual starship pilots who are using their lives to protect the Federation and human beings, many of them are his soldiers.

After the relevant video on the screen was played, the communication between the No. 6 base and the Nantianmen space station was interrupted at this time. When the previous communication was restored, relevant intelligence information, instructions, and combat plans were received.

So now it is an internal meeting at Base No. 6, and the content of the meeting will be reported to the Nantianmen Space Station after the communication is over, and adjustments will be made according to relevant instructions.

The commander of the No. 6 base signaled relevant personnel to report more specific battle information.

"The dust storm will last for about half a month. Before, we expected that the empire might launch an attack at the end of the dust storm, but the scale of their attack exceeded our expectations."

"At this stage, we judge that the goal of the empire is to completely destroy our No. 3 base before the dust storm is over, and to accurately locate the position of our No. 6 base during the dust storm, so as to prepare for a large-scale attack after the dust storm is over. Their operations The goal is to destroy our two living bases."

There is no need to say more about the seriousness of the sixth loss of the living base, and everyone present understands it.

The crux of the matter is not here, nor will it be discussed by these people present at this time.

"In this full-scale attack launched by the Empire, we used Base No. 3 as a bait, and caused more than 3.06 million casualties to the Empire, and the proportion of injuries was about 0.7%."

In battles on foreign planets, it is rare to be injured without dying. Once the protective clothing is damaged, even if the body has not suffered substantial damage for the time being, it will die due to the special environment of the foreign planet.

This point is the same for both the Federation and the Empire. Although the physical fitness of the imperial orangutans is stronger than that of humans, their protective clothing is simpler, and the empire pays much less attention to the wounded.

"It needs to be reminded that this is good news, but it is not that good, because the form of war on the Alien Star is completely different from those in the history of the Azure Star. The Empire has the technology of the jump gate, which allows them to have The ability to replenish the source of troops at any time, from a logistical point of view, this rapid increase in troops and rapid consumption of war can allow the empire to reduce the consumption of a large number of resources and transportation resources."

"They keep the orangutans on the Empire Star, and when they need to fight, let them wear protective clothing, take weapons and go through the leap gate to the alien star, charge, and then die. And our troop replenishment needs three at the fastest It takes about a month, and the current journey from the blue star to the alien star takes 2039 hours."

It takes more resources to raise troops in space for three months than it takes to raise troops on Azure Star for three years, and it’s not just the three months of the voyage that need to raise troops. Much higher than empire.

The empire has slaves, commoners, and nobles.

In the Commonwealth, at least in name, all are equal.

"In this all-out attack by the empire, our casualties were 56,397."

If there is no "need to remind" just now, compared with the casualties of more than 3 million in the empire, the casualties of more than 50,000 can be said to be an incredible victory. The imperial orangutans are not in the era of slash-and-burn farming. They have guns, tanks and armor There are missiles.

But now it seems that this may not be a victory to be proud of.

"We have destroyed 22,637 imperial mechas, and we have damaged 19,765 mechas, of which 1,598 are irreparable. We have destroyed imperial tanks..."

The relevant data was still being reported, Ji Xinghe listened carefully, but his mind was a little distracted.

Judging from the number of battle damage of the mechas, the Federation has gained an advantage in this war again, because after the empire's mechas are destroyed, there is basically no possibility of sending them back for repairs.

So the Federation's mecha damage unit is the second, while the Empire's mecha damage unit is the frame.

But there are too many orangutans in the empire who can drive mechs, and the federation has only 300,000 active mech fighters, a number that was announced by the federation at the beginning of last year.

In the last two months of fighting alone, they were broken nearly 20,000 times, which meant that nearly 20,000 mecha fighters died.

How many of the injured mech warriors could pass the test again and regain their qualifications to pilot mechs like the blind and crippled?

The 300,000 mecha fighters in active service are selected from one generation out of ten thousand. If they are gone, they will really disappear for a long time, and they will have to wait for the next generation to grow up.

And now, how much more?

After the battle information report was over, there was no answer that Ji Xinghe wanted to know. Relevant instructions were issued separately, and relevant opinions and needs were summarized. The meeting ended and started again.

Instructor Wang and others all left the meeting room, leaving only the commander, Jackson and a dozen others. Let him stay.

"To make a long story short, the current meaning above is to use Base No. 6 as a bait and continue to implement the previous combat strategy. It is necessary to use the empire's all-out attack at all costs to damage the empire's military power as much as possible." The commander said: " This also means that the center of the battle is our No. 6 base, which is the same as the previous No. 3 base."

"For all the support, their combat goal is not to protect our No. 6 base, but to annihilate the imperial military forces attacking our No. 6 base as much as possible. When necessary, they will expose our more precise location to lure the imperial military forces Make corresponding adjustments to achieve a more efficient annihilation effect."

The commander pondered for a while, and continued in the silence of the crowd: "About the negotiation, judging from the current offensive momentum of the empire, they have not been hurt by us, so now is not the best time to negotiate."

What can't really be said to more people is the commander's words. Regarding this kind of decision-making, none of the people present has the authority to really participate in the formulation, or even make suggestions.

So this is a notice.

"We will be destroyed like Base No. 3, but it is worth it, and it will allow us to gain an advantage in subsequent wars. If there is negotiation, the initiative will be in our hands because of our sacrifice."

The commander said the words "us" and "sacrifice" in a calm tone. The others were not surprised. Even if they knew that the ending would be destruction, someone had to stick to it until the last moment.

The various weapons in the living base will deal the most painful blow to the empire at the last moment, and this blow must be done by many people, and the artificial intelligence system and remote control will not work.

"Old Ji." The commander looked at Ji Xinghe and said softly, "Clean up, your order is to go to Base No. 5."

Are you leaving again?

This is the second time that Ji Xinghe has received a transfer order to leave because the No. 6 base has encountered a crisis. The destination is the relatively safer No. 5 base.

But there are two differences.

This time it was an inevitable crisis, this time Ji Rong Xinyue was not there.

Ji Xinghe did not agree, but asked, "How many Imperial Mechas have been discovered so far around the base?"

Someone replied: "Three hundred, and it is still increasing, but you don't have to worry about this. We have support, and they will be in place soon. Moreover, there is Lieutenant Colonel Jackson."

Ji Xinghe asked again: "Will the Xinghe team come?"

"Yes, they have received the transfer order and are on their way."

Ji Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, being able to come means that they are all right.

"Tell them I'm not leaving now."

"Not leaving now?" The commander frowned: "When do you want to leave?"

"About a week."

"What's the difference?" The commander was a little annoyed: "Ji Xinghe, you think that fighting is a treat for dinner, and you can leave whenever you want? This is a transfer order, an order, not a discussion with you."

"I know it's an order, but there's really a difference."

Ji Xinghe got up, looked at the commander and said calmly in an old voice: "You tell them, give me a week, I will get a hundred gold stars, and I will become the tenth ace mecha fighter in active service in the Federation. "

Everyone was stunned.

Considering that Jackson is still present and has a lot more gold stars than himself, and Han Li who has heard that he has more than 90 gold stars, Ji Xinghe added: "Maybe the eleventh, maybe the The twelfth place. It doesn’t really matter, the important thing is to let them give me a week, and I will do what I say.”

"But..." the commander came back to his senses, he did not question Ji Xinghe's strength, but said: "If you become the ace, the empire will at least send a marquis-level mecha to join the battle. Considering that we have already captured a marquis, They are more likely to send Duke-level mechs to join the battle. When the time comes, you really may not be able to leave."

Just as Jackson was about to get up and say, "There's still me", Ji Xinghe held his shoulders, so he couldn't move.

Ji Xinghe said.

"Just cut it off."
