Mecha and Knife

The Federation's No. 3 base located on Alien Star was finally captured by the Empire after holding on to it for several months.

The empire, which had paid a huge price, did not choose a truce, but continued to increase its troops and prepare to destroy the Federation's No. 6 base on Alien Star in one fell swoop.

After spending more than 2,000 mechas and 100,000 troops, the empire locked the position of the No. 6 base within a range of 30 kilometers by relying on dust storms.

Almost all the federal troops that could support them were mobilized to the periphery of No. 6 base, forming one after another blockade lines and sniper lines.

The real main force among these forces is not the six ace mecha fighters including Han Li and Jackson, and the mecha corps leading them. In such a large-scale battle, individual combat power is not as effective as an encounter in a dust storm.

When the dust storm that lasted for two months finally dissipated, the federal air force, or the space fleet, became the most critical factor in determining the outcome of the war.

On the one hand, the federal space fleet needs to go all out to destroy the imperial space fleet, satellites, and other imperial forces trying to seize air supremacy, so as to ensure the greatest advantage of the federation in this war.

On the other hand, they also need to provide fire support to the ground forces, and after determining the position of the imperial forces, carry out accurate and efficient precision strikes from space.

The second main force of the federation is the artillery unit of the army. The actual damage caused by conventional artillery and various missiles is far greater than that of the mech corps.

Even the engineering brigade in the army can rely on landmines and other weapons to cause a large number of casualties to the imperial army in ambush battles, and its efficiency is also higher than that of the federal mecha fighters.

There are also more than 500,000 federal armies, and the guns and other individual weapons they use have caused more casualties in this war than all the mech fighters of the federation.

But the role of mecha fighters is still crucial, because only mechas can stop mechas.

As soon as the dust storm dissipated, the empire relied on their high-tech reconnaissance equipment to determine the location of an artillery unit supporting the No. 6 base, and then launched a storm.

"Fire."

With one order, the roar resounded across the land of Alien Star.

The Empire can detect the Federation's artillery units, and the Federation can also detect the Empire's offensive ground forces. Without the interference of dust storms, the Federation's high-altitude reconnaissance satellites and space unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, etc., help the Federation troops obtain a vision far beyond the Empire. .

It was the artillery unit on the ground who fired the guns. With the vision and satellite positioning system, all kinds of artillery they possessed can carry out precise strikes, and they launched a powerful fire attack at a position about ten kilometers away from the imperial troops.

The anti-aircraft weapons of the empire's ground forces were activated immediately, including anti-missile missiles and anti-aircraft cannons. All kinds of anti-aircraft weapons intercepted most of the attacks.

At the same time, the mech corps of this imperial army broke away from the main force and rushed directly to the artillery unit that was firing.

There are no artillery or missiles that can hit the high-speed moving mechas, and when the imperial mechas rush to the artillery positions, those artillery weapons and the federal soldiers who use those weapons will be ruthlessly slaughtered.

Just like Ji Xinghe's first orbital airborne combat mission before, after he fell from the sky, he directly entered the artillery position of the empire, and while killing it, it greatly relieved the artillery pressure that the federal troops had to bear at that time.

"Ready to fight."

The voice of the blind man sounded in the communication channel of the Galaxy Squad. The seven mecha fighters were ready for battle. Their combat goal was to block the imperial mechas that charged.

"yes."

The Xinghe team, which was ready, received the intelligence from the command system, as well as the combat plan and subdivided combat objectives.

The mecha fighters involved in protecting this artillery unit are not just the Galaxy Squad, there are a total of 300 mechas.

"The number of enemy mechs is four hundred and twenty-three. It is estimated that when they arrive at the combat location, the number will drop to four hundred."

"Among them, there are 27 viscount-class planes, 62 baron-class planes, and 334 regular-class planes."

"The numbering has been completed. The combat goal of the Harris team is... The combat goal of the Qintong team is... The combat goal of the Xinghe team is..."

"The scheduled battle coordinates are... Please go to the scheduled battle coordinates immediately, and prepare to start the battle."

The cannons continued, and the artillery unit of the Federation was still trying to use artillery to attack the imperial mechas that were charging. The efficiency was very low, but as long as they could cause casualties, it was a victory, and it could relieve the pressure on the mecha fighters.

Also participating in the battle, there are armed armored vehicles, tanks, etc. that cooperate with each mech squad. Mech-tank coordination is very effective in such battles.

Once the imperial mechas and the federal mechas fight, their movement speed will drop significantly, and it will be difficult for them to obtain the same level of support when they are separated from the main force.

Whether it is shells or heavy machine guns, they can cause damage and suppression.

Three hundred versus four hundred, without the support of the federal mech fighters, it was difficult to complete their blocking mission.

The battle of fighting more with less has finally begun.

The number of mechas is the smallest among all mecha squads, but the number of imperial mechas they need to face is no less than that of other mecha teams. This is determined by their strength.

Two mechas specially customized and modified for super mecha fighters, three tungsten steel weapons, and the support of a sniper Chen Xun, their combat effectiveness cannot be judged by the number of mechas alone.

Niuma General Su Chuanyun, holding the mecha epee given to him by Ji Xinghe, broke through the cockpit of a baron-level imperial mecha forcefully, and laughed out loud excitedly.

"I'm finally super class, wow ha ha ha..."

"I'm also super."

Andre didn't have a weapon made of tungsten steel, but he also got his twentieth gold star.

The Xinghe Squad with only eight mecha fighters was originally composed of old men and remnants that many people were not optimistic about, but now they have an ace mecha fighter and four super mecha fighters.

Among them, the number of gold stars of the blind man and the lame man is even closer to the standard of becoming an ace mecha fighter.

The battle is still going on, and the mecha fighters of the Xinghe team continue to pick up stars.

"Cripple, change with me."

With a cry the blind man relinquished an imminent gold star and handed over to the cripple the opponent he had just wounded.

"Deaf, change."

The cripple made exactly the same choice as the blind man, with stronger mechs and better weapons, but they did not choose to quickly acquire gold stars as before, but began to use the most commonly used fighting methods of super mech fighters to Participating in such mech cluster battles.

Because Ji Xinghe has become the trump card, what's the point of the so-called plan to build the ace mecha fighter?

Only by becoming a special class can you apply for more resources to modify the mecha. In the case of almost the same operation level, the performance of the mecha and the performance of the weapon can largely determine the strength of a mecha warrior.

"Brother Left Hand, come here quickly."

Holding a mecha epee made of tungsten steel and gold, Su Chuanyun, who had just become a super mecha fighter, felt that he should help his teammates like the blind and lame people, so he also chose to let Jin Xing.

A viscount-level imperial mecha took the opportunity to attack, and Su Chuanyun of Venus hurriedly held up the opponent's weapon, but his fighting posture was already suppressed.

At this moment, a specially-made bullet passed through a distance of two kilometers, and hit the head of this viscount-level imperial mech with incomparable precision from the gap between the positions of seventeen mechas.

"Old Chen, I love you."

Su Chuanyun took advantage of the situation to fight back and took another gold star, while the left-handed brother had already taken over his opponent just now and successfully defeated him.

The gold stars of all members continued to increase, and a mecha squad composed of ace mecha fighters and super mech fighters appeared after the battle.

Its name is Starship Squad.

Major Li Lin has 72 gold stars (code-named blind), Captain Wang Gui has 63 gold stars (code-named Lame), Lieutenant Su Chuanyun has 23 gold stars (code-named Niu Ma), Lieutenant Andre has 22 gold stars (code-named heavy artillery), Lieutenant Zuo Qiyu 21 gold stars (code-named left hand), Lieutenant Zhao Debang 22 gold stars (code-named Deaf), Lieutenant Zhong Cheng 23 gold stars (code-named Lame).

In fact, the blind man and the cripple should not have so many gold stars, and the other people should not have so few gold stars, but because of the ace fighter building plan, not only many of their previous gold stars were given to the blind man and the lame man , and some gold stars from the other two mecha teams were also given to the blind and crippled.

At this time, the Xinghe team is not fighting alone. The two mecha teams that were mobilized to support them because of the ace fighter building plan are still guarding their sides.

However, it's time to end it.

After a tough battle, the Xinghe team went back to rest, and related transfer orders came. The other two mecha teams that had helped them a lot were not merged into the Xinghe team, but were directly transferred away.

But the Xinghe team is no longer a mecha squad with only eight mecha fighters, and new mecha fighters have joined it.

Chen Xun introduced.

"Second Lieutenant Xiao Fulai, a first-class mecha fighter, was incorporated into the disabled company due to injury. He passed the test again and got back the qualification to drive the mecha."

"Second Lieutenant Li Lehai, formerly a first-class mecha fighter, was assigned to..."

"Second Lieutenant Guo Yingcai...Second Lieutenant Wang He..."

Eight first-level mecha fighters joined the Xinghe team with the mechas they had just received. Their common feature was that they had been incorporated into the disabled company due to injuries, and they had all lost the opportunity to continue driving the mechas before.

With the number of mecha fighters in the Federation far exceeding the number of mechas, even if they are cured after being disabled due to injuries, it is unlikely that they will be able to pilot the mechas again.

The blind man gets more gold stars than the lame man, not because he is really better than the lame man, but because his disability has much less impact than the lame man.

Mechanical legs and mechanical eyes, for the operation of driving the mecha, the latter naturally has more advantages.

"They were all selected by Lao Ji in the No. 6 base before, and their ability to pass the exam again has shown that their strength and willpower are very strong."

Chen Xun explained to the Xinghe team that Ji Xinghe had told him about this matter before he left.

And the people who knew about it, besides the Star River team, were Jackson.

When Jackson learned that Ji Xinghe had threatened Tang Qiao, he ran to the training area to find Ji Xinghe. He saw Ji Xinghe talking to some people in the remnant company. Exams, and reasons to join Starship Squad.

Of course, the Xinghe team has no objection to the addition of new members. Ji Xinghe is not here, so it is of course a good thing to have more teammates.

And for the physical disabilities of the newly joined members, most people in the Xinghe team feel very kind.

"Actually, I have two small questions." Su Chuanyun looked at Chen Xun nervously: "The first question, Lao Chen, you won't transfer me and Andre away in the future, right?"

Chen Xun frowned: "Why?"

"Because Andre and I are the only ones who are not disabled." Su Chuanyun said cautiously: "Why don't we both try to get some injuries, and then do a mechanical prosthetic transformation?"

"No, I think you are already disabled."

"No, I'm in good health."

"You're crazy."

Su Chuanyun, who was scolded, laughed, and glanced at Andre who suddenly became nervous.

If he is brain-dead, the pressure will come to Andre, who is very healthy and intact.

"Hey..." Andre smirked, touching the back of his head and looking at everyone: "Actually, I'm mentally handicapped."

After joking, the newly joined mecha fighters were no longer nervous, and Su Chuanyun asked the second question.

"Tell me, how many gold stars does Lao Ji have now?"

"Three hundred?"

"How many are not important, the important thing is that the dust storm is over, why hasn't there been any news from Lao Ji?"

"If you are blind, please contact us. Your authority is higher than ours. You can directly apply for satellite communication resources."

"Okay, let me get in touch, just to tell the old man about our good news."

The blind man contacted the old man he was talking about, but the communication was not connected immediately. The relevant communication personnel of the No. 6 base command center explained the reason.

"Major Ji Xinghe is trying to lure the imperial mech corps chasing him to gather together, and a space battleship is already going to support it. If the enemy can be assembled, we will provide fire support as soon as possible."

The Xinghe team breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly remembered what Chen Xun said two days ago: Ji Xinghe is already an ace mecha fighter, it's different.

"Then how many gold stars has our captain got now?"

The correspondent did not answer directly, but said: "The gold stars of all of you add up, just right."

All of them added up?

The first one to calculate it was Andre who said that he was mentally deficient: "246? No, Lao Ji had so many before. It's impossible that not a single Imperial Mecha has been destroyed in the past two days. "

Others also thought it was impossible. Judging from Ji Xinghe's combat effectiveness and previous record, how could it be possible that he didn't get a gold star in two days.

Su Chuanyun suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Andre, you are indeed mentally deficient, you only count us seven, you don't count the new brothers? They are all first-class mecha fighters , everyone has at least ten gold stars."

Eight people, each with at least ten pills, how many pills is that?

The blind man and the others all looked at the new team members.

Xiao Fulai was the first to speak: "I have eleven."

Li Lehai: "I have ten."

"..."
