Mecha and Knife

The ten mechas, which had traveled more than 30 kilometers, finally stopped.

They harvested apes along the way without counting, and they did not forcefully launch an attack in the face of the imperial troops who were holding on to the 1840 outpost.

"Why Outpost 1840?"

Su Chuanyun asked the question that all of them wanted to ask.

The imperial troops who had given up the seven lines of defense where the ten outposts were located, could hold on to any of the other five lines of defense except for the two lines of defense close to the 1829 outpost.

In theory, they can all be held.

Because the outpost was originally a defensive outpost established by the Federation, many defensive fortifications were built around the outpost.

In the process of breaking through these defense lines, although the imperial forces caused serious damage to those defensive fortifications, it was not difficult to repair them.

It is impossible for the empire that has occupied these lines of defense for many days not to have repaired them. Judging from what Ji Xinghe and others have seen running past, they can not only be defended theoretically.

But they gave up those lines of defense, and they didn't even have time to do too much damage when they retreated.

If they hadn't chosen outpost 1840, Ji Xinghe and the others wouldn't suspect that they were really scared.

Now, they have doubts.

"Is it possible that because of the positions of the previous lines of defense, they can't gather enough troops?"

As the only Yingzhou native in Ji Xinghe's teaching team, Harris made his analysis cautiously.

Hearing this, Qin Tong said: "It is very possible that the news of our arrival must be obtained immediately for the imperial troops within the seven lines of defense. The reaction from those imperial troops at the 1829 outpost Looking at it, their rout is likely to be contagious."

The blind man also spoke.

"Once there is a rout on the defense line, or some of the imperial nobles who are in the defense line retreat directly with their own soldiers, the chaos caused will cause a huge hole in their defense line. If they don't have mechas that can block us , and when the artillery fire is extremely limited to us, they can only gather as many troops as possible."

The cripple concluded: "There are many reasons. It is understandable that they chose to stick to the outpost 1840. After all, all the imperial forces along the way are gathered here, and they occupy more than half of the area here. In a month's time, the defensive fortifications were constructed most perfectly."

The communication channel of the teaching team went quiet. They were actually not explaining to Harris or the people of Yingzhou, but to tell Ji Xinghe not to think too much, and to let them not think too much.

If it were another possibility, the consequences would be too serious.

Ji Xinghe didn't express any opinion. He led Qin Tong and others to stand on a conspicuous high slope, the closest to the 1840 outpost, silently looking in one direction.

Qin Tong and the others knew what he was looking at without accessing his perspective.

That was the location where Chen Xuan and others launched an active attack, and it was also where Chen Xuan's body was now.

Judging from the pictures provided by the reconnaissance satellite, Chen Xuan's body was directly ignored by the imperial troops because of its location and being too mutilated.

Situations like this abound on the alien battlefield.

The empire will not waste resources and resources to clean up the worthless remains of federal soldiers, and the federation has the same attitude towards the corpses of imperial soldiers.

The act of flogging corpses to vent anger has not occurred for many years, because the hatred between the two parties has been engraved in the bones, and there is no need for such futile and meaningless acts of revenge under the guise of foreign objects.

The new recruits who came to Alien Star in the later period, under the leadership of the veterans, rarely did similar behaviors.

With that strength, it is better to carry some supplies. With that time, it is better to take a good rest and recharge your batteries. With that thought, it is better to kill a few more in the subsequent battle, that is the real revenge.

Qin Tong took a deep breath and said softly: "We can't get through for the time being, we have to break through their defenses first, but it's very difficult for us alone."

In fact, Qin Tong wanted to say it was impossible, but miracles are like the wind, and he is always by Ji Xinghe's side, so what is impossible?

If Ji Xinghe really ordered to charge at this time, they would follow without hesitation.

If you die, you will die. Who is afraid?

no value? Following Ji Xinghe is their value.

"I know."

Ji Xinghe replied, his tone sounded calm, but he didn't stop looking.

It seemed that he was not looking out, but just stood here and told the empire that he was coming.

The sky gradually dimmed. Due to the terrain of Battle Scar Canyon, the night would come earlier and last longer.

Even the area with a width of more than 600 kilometers is the same, because the average depth of the Battle Scar Canyon exceeds 8 kilometers. It is equivalent to the highest peak on the blue star. With the highest peak as the boundary, two walls with a length of more than 4,500 kilometers were built.

On the visual window of the mech, it has already been shown that the outside temperature is dropping rapidly.

The night is not terrible for the Federation. Flares, searchlights, night vision devices, etc. can make the night of alien stars as bright as day.

But the ultra-low temperature environment that came with the nightfall was very difficult for the federal infantry. Even with protective clothing, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no hypothermia.

In contrast, the empire has a great advantage in this regard. The beast-like orangutans are far more resistant to cold than humans.

It is also a cliche topic that the physical gap between humans and orangutans can only be made up by relying on a lot of resources.

Counting on the number of people to make up for it is really not as good as the number of orangutans in the empire.

And the Federation's resources are limited, which led to Ji Xinghe's first class. Even though many people understood it, they still didn't dare to believe it, and even doubted it.

The belief of victory is not so easy to have.

The blind man spoke up.

"Corps Commander, the Western Theater Command has sent a message that they have stopped marching. The troops closest to us, except for supporting our logistics units, are now at Outpost 1833."

In order to save resources, the Federation rarely marches at night, outposts with walls and heating devices, etc., or permanent or temporary buildings, can use the least resources to bring warmth to more soldiers.

"Notify the logistics unit and retreat to Outpost 1837."

"yes."

Ji Xinghe finally turned around, and with nine gold-star-covered mechas, he started heading towards outpost 1837.

The imperial troops who had been watching them, as if they had finally found their chance, began to shell them.

Obviously, when they stood there just now, it looked easier to fight, but it was as if they were afraid that the shelling would make Ji Xinghe go crazy, let alone cannons, they didn't even dare to fire their guns.

Of course, even if they fought at that time, it was impossible to cause any damage to the Ji Xinghe teaching team. Whether it was defense or evasion ability, the teaching team was almost full.

And the real fullness is when Su Chuanyun and the others all put on their exclusive mechas, and Ji Xinghe got the general armor.

Therefore, when they were retreating, the shelling launched by the imperial troops was even more meaningless. It didn't look like they were attacking Ji Xinghe's teaching team, but rather like a salute...

Kaidilin has such a feeling, which was unimaginable for him before.

Because every time he appeared on the frontline battlefield, the empire used to greet him with dense and ferocious firepower like a storm, and there would always be duke-level imperial mechs watching him.

How could it be as light and flirtatious as Dui Ji Xinghe?

Perhaps, it is really like what Jackson said, just because Ji Xinghe is like an undefeated myth to the empire?

No shit.

Base No. 3, where Ji Xinghe stayed for a while, has been captured by the empire. Does this count as a loss?

Base No. 6, where Ji Xinghe stayed for a long time, is about to be breached by the empire. Does it count as a loss if he leaves before being breached?

Besides that, there's...and...

Kai Dilin really couldn't think of it, so he directly connected to Ji Xinghe.

"General Ji Xinghe, judging from the mobilization of the empire's troops, they are preparing to defend the outpost at No. 1840. We have fought this kind of tough battle many times, and it will last for many days. In the early stage, both of us are mainly testing... …So you don't need to go to outpost 1837. I suggest you come to command first, we need to talk about something."

"Okay, let's talk."

Ji Xinghe agreed faster than Kaidilin expected, but what Kaidilin never expected was that the joy in his heart was extinguished by Ji Xinghe's next sentence just after he was born.

"You come to Outpost 1837, now."

"..."

"Why, dare not?"

"You wait."

Angrily, Kedilin rushed out of the command post, trotting all the way to the place where his mecha was parked.

It's not that no one wanted to stop him along the way, such as the various commanders of the headquarters, but how could they stop Kedilin?

"This... quickly contact the headquarters."

"yes."

The ground headquarters of the western theater immediately contacted the headquarters of the western theater located in the Nantianmen.

After the situation was explained, the headquarters did not issue any orders. But Tang Qiao, who was like an invisible man in the headquarters, received a separate communication from Kentweiss.

Liu Mian noticed that Tang Qiao had left the command center, but did not follow. He didn't know that Tang Qiao was already a member of Ji Xinghe, but he chose to keep it in mind because this was the western theater.

Anyway, Tang Qiao is the 'undercover agent' placed by Kentweiss next to Ji Xinghe, which is already well known.

When Kedi Lin pierced his armor and rushed towards Outpost 1837, Don Joe shared his analysis with Kentweiss.

"If you want to conquer a civilization, the best way is to destroy it first, and then build a new and obedient civilization on top of the ruins. If you want to conquer a person, you can also use this method."

Kentweiss understood, and asked: "You mean, Ji Xinghe wants to completely destroy Kaidilin's self-confidence, and then make Kaidilin stronger than before like Han Li and Jackson. , and finally achieve Kaidilin's attitude towards Ji Xinghe, just like Han Li and the others have the same attitude towards Ji Xinghe?"

"Yes, judging from what Ji Xinghe did when he came to the Western Theater, this is one of his purposes, and his other purpose..." Tang Qiao pondered for a while, and then continued: "It is from the Western Theater Select personnel to join his Galaxy Mech Independent Corps."

"Choice?"

"En. Base No. 5 has only selected more than 200 people, which can't even fill the establishment of the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps. And although these people's willpower is very tenacious, their combat effectiveness is actually mediocre. If you want to take the Galaxy Mecha The Independent Corps has been trained, and sacrifices are inevitable, and Ji Xinghe needs more people."

Kentweiss frowned and thought about it, but couldn't think of any way, and asked, "Do you think we should stop him?"

"No." Tang Qiao explained: "Because the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps is very strong, the better they fight in the western theater, the happier we should be."

"But he will take all these people away." Ken Twiss still couldn't understand, and said, "When he leaves, how should we fight?"

"Then don't let him go."

Tang Qiao finally wants to meet her, but it is not known to whom it is for the time being.

"General, the marshal is about to step down, and Tu Yuan's leg was broken by Ji Xinghe. Although the fifth base has Han Li's support, it is definitely not as good as Ji Xinghe, and Ji Xinghe took away the elite of the fifth base. As long as we When Ji Xinghe wanted to return to the No. 5 base, he set up some obstacles, and he could only stay in the western theater to fight."

Kentweiss finally understood, and he asked, "Do you think Ji Xinghe should be in charge of the western theater?"

"Someone has to be in charge, isn't it?" Tang Qiao asked back and said, "After you take over the position of marshal, you don't have to be in charge of the western theater directly. You can completely delegate the headquarters of the western theater to the surface. After Xinghe got the rank of lieutenant general, he is also qualified to be in charge of the western theater, with the checks and balances of the headquarters. There is no need to worry about his tail being too big. You only need to worry about whether his contribution will be too great, which will cause him to become your competitor for re-election as marshal .”

"Ji Xinghe will become my opponent? Hahaha..." Kentweiss laughed a few times suddenly, and then said: "I said before, Ji Xinghe is not my opponent, but Tu Yuan is. But now Tu Yuan has no Ji Xinghe With the help of him, he can win, but he can’t win like before. As for Ji Xinghe, I became the marshal, and I have all the credit for him, especially the credit he got in the Western Theater.”

Tang Qiao also laughed.

"It's like this. There is a problem with Ji Xinghe's thinking mode. He doesn't understand the importance of resources. He always thinks that with the so-called charisma, everyone can follow him. But this is simply not realistic, whether he is in the West The Starship Mecha Corps that has been established in the theater, or people like Kaidilin, will eventually succumb to resources."

Kentweiss groaned again, before making a sound after a while.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this. You are responsible for fixing the Ping'an. As long as Ji Xinghe can't bring the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps to support the No. 5 base... When the headquarters of the Western Theater is lowered to the surface, I will guarantee you a major general and chief of staff." .”

"Thank you General."

Tang Qiao expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face, and then talked about some of his ideas for trapping Ji Xinghe in the western theater.

Kentweiss was very satisfied after hearing it.

Without the space battleship, the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps would not be able to maneuver quickly, and he felt that his wave was stable.

But what Tang Qiao didn't tell him was that in addition to the space battleship, Ji Xinghe also had a means of transportation from Liu Mian, or Tu Yuan - the individual starship.
