Mecha and Knife

The independent regiment, which was pursued by more than a thousand imperial mechs, was not in a panic at all, they escaped very calmly.

From this point of view, they are not running away at all, but luring the enemy.

Not to mention the results of this battle so far, it is enough to make Kentweiss and others more determined in their respective plans to create another independent regiment.

Just say now.

The independent regiment, which has always refused to accept all orders from the Western Theater Command, and Liu Mian even threatened not to accept any opinions, reached an agreement with the Western Theater for the first time.

In other words, it was Ji Xinghe who issued an order to the western theater.

"Show me 1840."

Few people in the Western Theater Command who heard this order were surprised.

When more than a thousand imperial mechs on the defense line of outpost 1840 desperately pursued the independent regiment, all of them were moved.

Without mecha defense, their mechas can directly rush into the enemy's artillery positions and wreak havoc.

It's just because Outpost 1840 has nearly 150,000 imperial troops, and they will inevitably make a counterattack in this situation, and they are reluctant to send in too many troops.

"Call me."

Davis, the chief of staff of the western theater, was also a decisive person. From Ji Xinghe's order, he heard that the independent regiment could not continue to carry out the mission of blocking the imperial reinforcements when more than a thousand imperial mechas were chasing them. battle plan.

Time is ticking.

If we wait until the reinforcements from the empire bring supplies, the significance of the gift that the Independence Regiment gave to the empire today will be almost zero.

For the empire with the leap gate technology, supplies are really much easier than the federation.

"But……"

A staff officer spoke up and wanted to make some comments, but was interrupted directly by Davis.

"They don't have mechas now. Even those orangutans will fight more crazily than before, but they don't have mechas."

Yep, Outpost 1840, no mechs now.

Accounts that cannot be settled have to be settled. The result of everyone's mental calculations is that this battle can be fought, and the sacrifice must be much less than when the enemy has mechs.

The premise is that the independent regiment can drag the more than a thousand imperial mechs and cannot return to help.

There is no need to mention the deployment of troops in the western theater. The troops in the western theater at outpost No. 1838, after withstanding the imperial attack all night and without enough rest time, directly made the gesture of attacking the whole army.

But marching takes time. During this process, Battle Scar Canyon's headquarters at Nantianmen can completely stop this battle plan in the western theater and negate Ji Xinghe's orders to the western theater.

However, Kentweiss did not give the order. He looked at the big screen in front of him with expectant eyes. He ignored the display of various intelligence information. There was only one picture in the center of his eyes.

That was the picture of the independent regiment and more than a thousand imperial mechs.

Whether the Western theater can take down outpost No. 1840 and snatch it back, the key point lies in this picture.

"How long has it been since Ji Xinghe arrived in the western theater?"

The question raised by Kentweiss was answered immediately.

"Forty-five hours and fifty-two minutes."

"Less than two days..."

When Kentweiss sighed, the others were also surprised by this problem.

Ji Xinghe, who had only arrived in the western theater for less than forty-eight hours, and the Xinghe Mech Independent Corps he led, have helped the western theater regain seven lines of defense and ten outposts.

Although the No. 1839 outpost currently exists as a buffer zone and a combat zone, from a factual point of view, the western theater has the ability to occupy the No. 1839 outpost at any time. At this time, the strength of the No. 1838 outpost is already increasing. Outpost No. 1 marched at full speed.

It is said that ten outposts have been snatched back, and there will be no doubts.

In addition, Ji Xinghe also led Kaidilin to attack the imperial reinforcements at night, destroying fifty-four mechas, and led the independent regiment to defeat one hundred and forty mechas while being chased by six hundred imperial mechas. Three imperial mechas defeated the rest of the mechas.

There is also the battle last night, the independent regiment, which was dying on the battlefield, won a lot, needless to say.

And now...

"Tell me." Ken Twiss asked expectantly: "Forty-eight hours, can Ji Xinghe take down the empire's first line of defense in the western theater?"

Forty-eight hours?

Then there are only more than two hours left, considering the marching speed of outpost 1838 and the distance from outpost 1840.

The real fighting time was less than half an hour. Under normal circumstances, everyone would say it was impossible, but considering that the empire's first line of defense had already lost a large number of oxygen supply devices because of Ji Xinghe's independent regiment.

For a maximum of two hours, they will mess up on their own.

So the answer is yes, and everyone present hoped that the answer would be yes, but none of them answered Kentweiss' question aloud.

Because there is a key point in Kentwiss's question: Ji Xinghe has defeated the first line of defense.

According to Kentweiss' habits, it shouldn't be: Under the wise command of General Kentweiss, the commander-in-chief of the Battle Scar Canyon Theater, Major General Ji Xinghe led the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps, and cooperated with the second and third armies of the Western Theater to fight against the enemy. The empire launched an active attack, and successfully destroyed the first line of defense guarded by the empire's heavily armed forces, and took back...

This is unreasonable, even somewhat unscientific.

When did Ken Twiss change gender?

Few of the people in this conference room knew the terms of agreement that Tang Qiao reached in private negotiations with Ji Xinghe on behalf of Kentweiss.

They didn't even know that Ji Xinghe's independent group was able to gather the resources to build 300 mountain-slashing mechs and get 300 sets of neural link technology mech driving kits. It was Kentweiss who showed his favor to Ji Xinghe Not what they thought: Yingzhou, represented by Kentwiss, was showing favor to Longzhou, Li Anbang, who was about to leave office, preparing to take over as the commander-in-chief of the Alien War Zone, and so on.

Some things, the more people know, the easier it is to leak.

Out of the more than seven billion people in the Federation, only a few hundred people were really known by Tang Qiao, who told Ji Xinghe and Ji Rong Xinyue about the "Tower Organization".

And among these hundreds of people, how many people belong to the organization at the top of the tower?

The top of the pyramid with a base number of more than seven billion may not even accommodate a few hundred people.

"Why." Kentweiss asked again: "Don't you believe in Ji Xinghe?"

Of course we believe in Ji Xinghe, but are you really willing to give Ji Xinghe such great credit? Although this credit should indeed belong to Ji Xinghe.

Someone finally spoke up: "I think it is very possible to realize that the imperial forces at outpost 1840 may have a mutiny after an hour and a half. They..."

blah blah.

After a bunch of nonsense proved the possibility, Ken Twiss nodded in satisfaction: "So you guys think, if we create another independent regiment, can we fight like Ji Xinghe?"

Hasn't this issue been discussed before?

At that time, we said that it would not work without Ji Xinghe, and you also said that Kaidilin and Harris can be as good as Ji Xinghe.

But after thinking about it, everyone understood why Kentweiss asked this question again.

With 104 mountain-slashing mechas, they defeated 600 imperial mechas. Kaidilin and Harris would definitely be able to do it. what's the problem.

But now, Ji Xinghe led the independent regiment again and fought an incredible battle.

Unbelievably, even Kentweiss felt that Kaidilin and Harris were dead.

Those who had already confirmed Kentweiss' idea of ​​creating another independent group all spoke out after a little thought.

"It can be done, because General Ji Xinghe is not driving the new general armor, but just cutting mountains. And Kai Dilin and Harris can both pilot ace-level mechas."

"Yes, more than that, the Academy of Sciences' imitation of the nuclear power reactor for mechas is almost successful. The nuclear power reactors for mechas that can only be produced in the laboratory at this stage will surely be able to achieve small-scale mass production in the future. At that time, our independent regiment can be equipped with this kind of energy core."

These words were recognized by everyone.

The Federation currently does not have the real technical capability to build a nuclear power reactor for mechas. Otherwise, there would not be only three mechas in the Federation that could be equipped with such a reactor.

This number happened to be the same as the number of times Li Yuanba was defeated by everyone.

A mecha of the imperial general, a prince-level mecha, and a royal mecha (meaning the prince of the empire).

The previous three mechas used nuclear power reactors, which were dismantled from these three mechas.

The nuclear power reactor used by Ji Xinghe's new general armor is a laboratory product with an extremely limited quantity, and the cost is so high that small-scale application is currently impossible.

Otherwise, how could Han Li and Harris not have them?

In the Battle Scar Canyon Theater Command in Nantianmen, discussions that had nothing to do with the ongoing battle in the Western Theater became more and more irrelevant.

Just when they were about to turn into a group of vegetarians, everyone was taken aback by a report.

"Report, the imperial forces at Outpost 1840 have retreated, and they are retreating towards Outpost 1842, which is occupied by the Empire."

Withdrawal?

People were surprised, but also thought it was reasonable.

If they were in the role of imperial commanders, they would also make this kind of decision in today's situation.

Let the imperial army in 1840 fight the main force in the western theater? They are all about to mutiny, and they can't win at all.

It is difficult to provide support in such a short period of time. If the more than 1,000 imperial mechs chasing Ji Xinghe turn back, the independent regiment will have no way to contain them, and they will inevitably stop the imperial reinforcements.

As for the division of more than a thousand imperial mechs...

Isn't this gorilla head too obvious?

Even if the Imperial Command has a federal undercover commander, it is impossible to make such a suggestion, let alone the Imperial Command does not have a federal undercover at all?

"It's a pity, 150,000 troops, if you can eat it..."

Kentweiss said with some regret, what he didn't say was that Ji Xinghe's lieutenant general rank can be officially put on the discussion agenda.

The difference between defeating the empire's 150,000 troops and taking back the 1840 outpost defense line, and repelling so many troops to take back the defense line is too big.

Even if there is a real fight, there will inevitably be a lot of sacrifices, but it is still the old saying-one will succeed and ten will die.

"Yeah, what a pity."

"Aren't these imperial orangutans usually crazy? Why do they become cowardly when they meet General Ji Xinghe?"

"When you face General Ji Xinghe, how dare you say that you are not afraid?"

"Hahaha, yes, I would have to be cowardly instead."

People in the conference room spoke out one after another, while echoing Kentwiss' regrets, they also expressed their regrets and joys.

After all, he won the battle.

But everyone in the headquarters thought that when the battle would end in this way, something completely unexpected happened suddenly.

More than 1,300 imperial mechas chasing the independent regiment chose to divide the troops very unreasonably.

More than 500 mechs turned around, and their targets were judged immediately.

"They want to intercept our mech corps that is accelerating their pursuit."

Although the content of the meeting just now has nothing to do with the battle on the ground, Davis of the Ground Command of the Western Theater Command has long been used to the command of the command being more or less delayed.

He made a decisive decision and chose to let the mechs on the front line charge faster, leaving the main force to prepare to cause as much damage as possible when the imperial forces were retreating.

The reason is simple: what is killed today will not be killed tomorrow.

The empire can indeed increase its troops easily, but it is not endless, and sooner or later there will be a day when it will be finished.

Judging from the fact that Davis' order was carried out, the action of the Empire's mech division is actually very reasonable.

But everyone who saw this scene felt unreasonable.

The loss of conventional troops, which machine armor has a greater loss?

If it were them, they would not risk a large number of mechs being destroyed to protect the retreating conventional troops. After all, the conventional forces were not completely helpless. When they retreated, they did not give up using firepower to slow down the Federation's pursuit.

"hehe……"

Kentweiss sneered suddenly: "Underestimate Ji Xinghe and his independent group, this group of dogs and orangutans are really courting death."

With Kentwiss' explanation, the empire's irrational deployment of troops suddenly became reasonable.

Before, the 600 mechas were divided into two groups, and they couldn't defeat Ji Xinghe's independent regiment. But now there are 800 imperial mechas clustered together in pursuit. Reasonably speaking, it seems that they can indeed defeat Ji Xinghe's independent regiment.

but……

That is Ji Xinghe.

"Among those imperial mechs, will there be elites from the empire?"

Some expressed concern.

Someone immediately retorted: "The independent regiment is the real elite. General Ji Xinghe said something himself yesterday: Lao Tzu's independent regiment fights the elite."

"Ah? Did General Ji Xinghe say it himself? Didn't that ace mecha fighter named Su Chuanyun say it? Besides, I don't seem to have a self-proclaimed Lao Tzu..."

No one answered this question, and the person who asked this question suddenly thought of another question.

In many cases, some of the words they said and the decisions they made would be named after the three-star general Kentweiss.

Come to think of it, Ji Xinghe's independent group will not have too many exceptions, and the members of the independent group are said to be Ji Xinghe's apprentices.

Being able to say such things must be due to the good education of the master.

When the people in the headquarters were full of confidence in Ji Xinghe and the independent regiment, Ji Xinghe issued an order that made them dumbfounded.

Then, they saw with their own eyes the independent regiment being pursued by 800 imperial mechas, and they executed this order that could be described as "court death" without any hesitation.

One hundred and four mechas were once again divided into ten squads and one individual soldier, and then they were divided into eleven directions and dispersed.

It looked exactly the same as yesterday's battle, but the imperial mechs they had to face were quite different.

So someone couldn't help but exclaimed: "Commander, quickly correct General Ji Xinghe's order."

Kentweiss didn't make any response, nor did he make any movements, just looked at the screen expressionlessly.

He remained silent, it seemed that Zhizhu was in his hands. This has always been his habit, and he should try his best to keep his face unchanged at any time.

But in fact, his heart was trembling, trembling with fear.

If Ji Xinghe was standing in front of him at this time, he would definitely ask angrily: Ji Xinghe, do you have to play so exciting every time, ah?

Inexplicably, Kentweiss suddenly wanted to understand one thing, that is why Tu Yuan let Ji Xinghe go so easily. It is definitely not only because Ji Xinghe broke Tu Yuan's leg, but also because...

Tu Yuan has already been frightened by Ji Xinghe's operation, and he is about to have a heart attack, right?

Therefore, he deliberately released Ji Xinghe to harm himself.

Tu Yuan, Ji Xinghe, you guys are so vicious.
