Mecha and Knife

"How many?"

"Report, the Independence Regiment has destroyed a total of 265 aircraft in this battle, and General Ji Xinghe has personally destroyed a total of 109 aircraft in this battle."

The staff who reported could not help counting the destruction of Ji Xinghe and the independent regiment separately, and also counted those imperial mechs that were actually damaged rather than destroyed as defeats.

No one corrected his statement, including those mechas that were damaged.

Because everyone knows that if the independent regiment can win this battle, none of the damaged imperial mechs will be able to escape.

If the independent regiment loses, no one will question this calculation, and there will only be countless people who feel sorry and sad.

"Hundred riders break through ten thousand formations, that's all."

Some people saw the hot-blooded Peng Bai, although he was from Yingzhou, he spoke the standard dragon language.

"What's the meaning?"

There are Yingzhou people next to him who can't understand.

"It means that in ancient times, there were many generals in Longzhou who only led a few hundred cavalry and broke through an enemy formation composed of tens of thousands of people."

"What are you kidding? How is that possible. Were there ancient mechs?"

"I'm not joking. It's nothing to break through ten thousand formations with a hundred cavalry. There was an unknown general in Longzhou in ancient times. With only one hundred and twenty cavalry, he quelled the civil strife in a subordinate country."

"The dependent country is also a country, isn't it well-known?"

"It's really not well-known, because in Longzhou in that era, there were fierce men with five hundred cavalry chasing tens of thousands of enemy troops on the battlefield, and famous people who destroyed a country by one person, and...you yourself Go check the information."

"..."

Tang Qiao, who heard this conversation with his own ears, felt much deeper than others.

He thought of the No. 1840 outpost that was defeated by the independent regiment led by Ji Xinghe, which was the first real line of defense built by the empire against the western theater.

The process of defeating it was without any surprises or dangers, but it allowed the western theater, which had been retreating steadily before the empire, to truly have the ability to take the initiative to attack.

Regarding outpost No. 1840, Tang Qiao was more concerned about another fact related to 1840. Before 1840, Longzhou had always been the most powerful country on Azure Star, bar none.

Looking at the independent group that was fighting with fewer enemies, Tang Qiao was actually a little puzzled.

Judging from his command thinking, the more than a thousand imperial mechas actually have a more robust combat method, which can cause more effective damage to the independent regiment. For example, let the independent group rush to the location where Ji Xinghe is, and then take the opportunity to limit the high mobility of the independent group.

Even if it is impossible to limit all members of the independent regiment, at least more than a hundred mechas can be left to be besieged by them, and then slowly figure out, the independent regiment will definitely be beaten into fragments.

But the empire didn't do this, is it because the commander of the empire is not as smart as himself?

This is impossible.

Tang Qiao, who couldn't figure it out, suddenly understood what Ji Xinghe said to him yesterday.

"There will be no second me in this world, so there will be no second independent group."

Yes, there will be no second Ji Xinghe in this world, which can make the empire ignore the threat posed by the independent group and surround Ji Xinghe at all costs.

If Kaidilin led the independent regiment, even if Kaidilin chose to fight alone like Ji Xinghe and gave the empire a chance to besiege him, would the empire really use more than 500 mechas to besiege him?

Will not.

Those duke-level, marquis-level, and earl-level mechas would not ignore the independent regiment, and they all watched Kaidilin among the imperial mechas besieging Ji Xinghe.

Cadillan doesn't deserve it.

Rovich doesn't deserve it.

It is even more impossible for Harris to do this. The combination of Han Li and Jackson may be worthy of the empire, but the effect will be far from the same.

Besides them, who could lead another independent regiment?

Li Yuanba.

But Li Yuanba will not learn from Ji Xinghe, he has his own fighting style.

Tang Qiao imagined that other than Li Yuanba, when leading a mecha corps of the same level as the Independence Regiment, they would inevitably face the siege and annihilation of many imperial mechas.

He really wanted to contact Kentweiss now and let Kentweiss give up the idea of ​​creating another independent group.

But he didn't do this, because he knew very well that after seeing the battle of the independent regiment today, Kentwiss would definitely become more determined to build another independent regiment.

No one can persuade Kent Weiss, only to order Kent Weiss with a higher authority, or...

I hope you can see something today and understand what Ji Xinghe said.

"Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me perish."

Otherwise, you will really die.

Tang Qiao still doesn't understand how Ji Xinghe wants to kill Kentweiss, but he already firmly believes that as long as Ji Xinghe wants to kill Kentweiss, then Kentweiss will die.

Just like today's battle.

The number of imperial mechs that the independent regiment faced was still large, five times more than theirs, and their physical strength had been consumed a lot, especially Ji Xinghe, who was fighting alone.

But Tang Qiao became more and more convinced that the independent group would be able to win today.

Because Ji Xinghe said something to him yesterday: "Attempting to kill tens of thousands of people is a death penalty."

Yesterday, Ji Xinghe knew that the independent regiment he led would face the siege of more than 1,500 imperial mechas. This was a situation that many people believed exceeded the limit of the independent regiment's combat power.

But Ji Xinghe was not worried at all, his tone at that time was so calm that it seemed to say, "the sky will be bright".

And what he said was an attempt to kill tens of thousands of people.

Attempted.

Tang Qiao's confidence in the independent regiment even surpassed that of Liu Mian, who was also in the headquarters.

He was even thinking, if Ji Xinghe wanted to kill Kentweiss after today, would he let him do it.

In this case, it can explain why after Ken Twiss died, Ji Xinghe was not worried that he would continue to obey the orders of the tower top organization, but would be willing to give him trust.

If yes, then go for it.

Tang Qiao thought so.

Davis' voice suddenly sounded from the headquarters: "Let those 300 mechas dispatch to support the Independent Regiment."

The battle at the third line of defense of the empire is still in a state of anxiety, but the mech corps led by Kedilin has already gained a certain advantage.

If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely be able to penetrate the empire's third line of defense, but there will be many, many sacrifices.

In this case, 300 spare federal mechs can go to support Kedilin or the independent regiment.

After a little thought, Davis gave the order.

In his opinion, compared to letting the 300 federal mechas rush directly to the third imperial line of defense, the advantage that supporting the independent regiment can bring to the federation will obviously be greater.

The independent regiment has already destroyed more than 300 imperial mechas, and the gap in numbers has narrowed a bit. Combined with the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, although many people will die in these 300 mechas, they will definitely be able to liberate the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

Once the independent regiment is liberated and they are allowed to rush to the aid of Kedilin, the empire's third line of defense can be breached in one go.

There was no problem with Davis' command. Three hundred spare federal mechas went straight from the federal defense line at the 1842 outpost to the battlefield where the independent regiment was located.

Kentweiss, who didn't want him to command like this, didn't stop him, but passed Davis' order directly.

...

"How about it, do you have some regrets?"

Aida Kang actually laughed when the frontline advantage gradually disappeared.

Yinan also laughed.

"Yes, General, I do have some regrets. If I were given another chance, I would choose to use two thousand mechas to pile up the independent regiment to death, and then capture Ji Xinghe alive."

If 1,500 is not enough, then use 2,000.

If 2,000 is not enough, then use 3,000.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Aida Kang asked after asking, "The reinforcements from the Federation have already gone to support the Independent Regiment, and you are about to lose."

"I will let all the mechs surround Ji Xinghe and shrink the formation, so that the independent regiment can't eat away at my strength like before."

After Yinan finished talking about his battle strategy, he bowed his head in front of Aidakang without any hesitation: "Please help me, General."

"Of course. For the empire, for our great emperor, my second brother, hahaha..."

Aida Kang's laughter felt a little hearty, and then ordered: "Anti-Galaxy Squad, attack."

Thirty earl-level mechas hidden inside the empire's defense line finally moved.

But their target was not attacking Kaidilin where they were on the line of defense, but directly broke away from the line of defense and rushed towards the 300 federal mechas that were going to support the independent regiment.

Yinan's order has also been issued, and all the imperial mechs on the battlefield where the independent regiment is located have all surrounded Ji Xinghe.

More than a thousand imperial mechs seemed to be crowded together. They no longer divided their forces to intercept and chase the independent regiment, but changed from donuts to turtle shells.

It was like an expired donut, smelly and hard.

Their superiority in numbers has been brought to the extreme by them. They have determined how strong the independent regiment's combat effectiveness is, and they have completely given up the combat goal of destroying the independent regiment, and only want to defeat Ji Xinghe alone.

But precisely because of their abandonment, the Independence Group was caught in a dilemma.

Charging from any direction, the independent regiment couldn't pierce the assembled imperial mechas. Once entangled, the imperial mechas would definitely be able to rush behind them from both sides, and then surround them.

Losing their high mobility and falling into positional warfare, the independent regiments would be bit by bit eaten away by the imperial mechs that surrounded them.

Qin Tong, the acting commander, hesitated. Harris, the blind man, and the lame man couldn't provide him with effective advice.

In fact, they all have ideas, but it is difficult for them to make that decision.

At this moment, Ji Xinghe, who was under siege, issued an order that they were unwilling to raise.

"Leading a team each, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults."

This is a very cruel order, but the cruelty is not aimed at anyone in the independent regiment, only at the person who issued this order.

"yes!"

Qin Tong gritted his teeth in response.

"Yes Yes!""……"

Harris, the blind man, the lame man, Su Chuanyun, the left hand, Andre, the deaf man, the crippled man, the first generation and the 1.5th generation members of the Galaxy team responded at the same time, and then, as the ace mech fighters, each led the A team of mecha fighters.

The 194 mechas were divided into nine teams in a very short period of time.

Qin Tong, Harris, the blind man, and the lame man, the four captains with ace-specific mechas, led the team with only Zhanshan-type mechas.

As for Su Chuanyun and other team leaders who do not have the ace exclusive mecha, there are also members of the original Xinghe team who have been promoted to the ace, but also failed to get the ace exclusive mecha.

The distribution of combat power is very even.

Nine squads, each with at least twenty mechas, when facing the tortoise-like imperial mechas, they dispersed and attacked from nine directions at the same time.

It really looks like the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps, surrounded by more than a thousand Imperial Mechas.

After the number of mechas in the team decreases, their high mobility cannot actually be maintained. When a battle occurs, the imperial mechas can surround them at a faster speed.

But with Ji Xinghe's order, they didn't have the slightest desire to fight, and they didn't even seek damage.

When the imperial mechs counter-siege, retreat immediately.

When the formation of the imperial mechs became tight again, they charged again.

Do not seek meritorious service, but seek no faults.

The destruction efficiency of the independent regiment dropped significantly, but they were able to keep all members intact, and brought great pressure to the imperial mechs.

And all these pressures were transferred by the imperial mechs to Ji Xinghe at the center of the encirclement.

Therefore, the order Ji Xinghe issued was extremely cruel, and it could even be described as cruel to himself.

The God's Punishment Armor made of tungsten steel alloy has lost its original golden luster, and those tight Venus, after being attacked time after time, most of them have become shattered.

The encirclement is shrinking.

Those imperial mechas that were broken and damaged by Ji Xinghe were dragged away by other imperial mechas while Ji Xinghe was wandering and fighting, although new imperial mechas were constantly damaged by Ji Xinghe and became his Bunkers and terrain advantages, but the number of imperial mechs is too much.

Ji Xinghe's advantage is getting smaller and smaller.

The independent regiment divided into nine mecha squads, encroached on the imperial mechas like a real encroachment, only a little bit at a time, which meant nothing to thousands of imperial mechas.

The 300 federal mechas that came to support them did not manage to reach their battlefield.

Thirty imperial mechs without noble medals stopped them desperately.

"Kill them."

Davis gave the order. At this time, he and everyone in the Western Theater Command did not notice any abnormalities in the thirty imperial mechs.

Under the influence of inertial thinking, they did not expect that the empire would allow civilians to drive earl-level mechas.

There is no noble medal, at best, it is a viscount-level noble mecha. Although the combat effectiveness of such a mecha far exceeds the standard mecha of the Federation, the numerical advantage seems to be very large at this time.

What is there to be afraid of?

Destroy these 30 imperial mechas first, and then continue to help the independent regiment, bringing opportunities to the independent regiment caught in a fierce battle.

Everyone thinks so.

But when the 30 imperial mechas, which looked like regular-level imperial mechas, were not much different, after getting closer to the 300 federal mechas, they suddenly exploded at a high speed, causing the headquarters to Everyone in the heart felt a chill.

It was too late to issue new orders, and the battle broke out at the moment of encounter.

Twenty-seven Federation mechs were destroyed almost simultaneously.

not only that.

The 300 federal mechas that received the order to "destroy them" naturally chose to spread their formation when they were about to encounter 30 imperial mechas.

Simultaneous attack from all directions after encirclement is the most suitable fighting method for total annihilation.

However, when the battle really started, their spread formation was directly pierced by thirty imperial mechs.

Just like when an independent regiment faces the imperial mechas, the formation formed by the imperial mechas within 300 will be easily pierced by them.

No, they look stronger than independent regiments.

Because when the Independent Regiment killed 300 imperial mechs for the first time in the western theater, the number of mechas was 104, and they only had 30.

There must be reasons why the strength of the enemy and the enemy is unknown, but it has been able to prove many things.

"Earl class, the thirty imperial mechs are all earl class."

"Retreat, let them retreat quickly."

"Can't retreat, show your back, they will all die."

Davis' eyes turned red instantly, and he ordered angrily, "Fight to the death, fight to the death."

More than 200 federal mechs formed a defensive formation without any hesitation, and they were ready to fight to the death.

Thirty earl-level imperial mechs that had pierced through them also turned around without any hesitation, and rushed towards them again.

Suddenly, another independent regiment appeared on the battlefield, and this independent regiment belonged to the empire.

"Kadilin, ask him to bring someone to support him."

Davis gave the order again. In the face of thirty earl-level imperial mechas, without an ace mecha fighter like Kedilin, let alone complete the combat goal of annihilation, even self-protection would be a problem.

The battle against the empire's third line of defense has achieved a clear advantage. The enemy's artillery positions have been breached, and the federal fire strike has begun.

One hundred thousand troops are ready to charge.

At this time, the value of Kedilin's stay is still great, but there is always a choice to be made.

With ten Zhanshan-type mechas and Kaidilin of his own mecha squad, he rushed towards the more than 200 federal mechas that were being eaten away.

But the empire's preparations are more than just an anti-galactic team?

When Kedilin led the team to support, the imperial mechs that had been hidden before appeared again in the imperial defense line.

Their target was the Kaidilin team who had just escaped from the line of defense.

Turn around and fight?

When the thirty earl-level mechas wiped out the three hundred federation mechas, they will be able to attack Kedilin from behind.

Forced support?

The Kaidilin squad, which is followed by sixty Imperial mechs, will also be flanked by front and back, and will bring even greater crises to the more than two hundred Federation mechs.

Kaidilin, who was caught in a difficult decision, suddenly noticed the ten mountain-cutting mechas following him, which were forcibly left to him by Ji Xinghe.

He wanted to sternly refuse before, but now it seems...

"All members of the independent regiment, continue to support our mech corps."

Kaidilin's respect for Ji Xinghe suddenly reached an extreme level, and he thought of a name he had learned for Longzhou: Banxian.

Immortal.

"Others, stay with me."

When the order was blurted out, Kedilin had already started to brake, and before his mecha squadron could complete the turn, one man and one armor rushed straight to the imperial mech chasers behind him.

He said to Ji Xinghe before: Although I have learned your fighting style, I may not be able to use it.

Ji Xinghe said it was okay.

And now, Kaidi Lin used it.
