Mecha and Knife

"Corps Commander, let's go back to aid Base No. 5."

In the communication channel of the leader of the independent regiment, the blind man's proposal was echoed by everyone.

"Yes, although the mechs have no energy, they can be replaced on the battleship. There are also some damaged parts that can also be repaired at the same time."

"Two thousand imperial mechas, the base can't beat them."

"I always feel that the empire will not allow Han Li to lead a team to attack their main force. With 200,000 troops, the empire will definitely have someone to spare. If Han Li is held back..."

"Captain, let's go back."

When the team leaders were talking, they didn't stop chasing the imperial mechas. Under their pursuit, there were more than 400 imperial mechas, and now there are only more than 300 imperial mechas left.

Since the start of the war, there are a total of 1,535 imperial mechs, and they have destroyed nearly 1,200 of them, helping to establish an absolute advantage in the frontal battlefield. The empire's third line of defense has been breached.

So far, they will have no problem evacuating from the western theater.

"This time, is it a triumph in the true sense?"

Su Chuanyun's questioning voice was not as vigorous as usual, but rather dull.

Thirty-four members of the Independent Regiment, which had achieved brilliant results, lost their lives in today's battle.

Compared with the number of victims in the western theater today, this figure is simply not worth mentioning. But for the independent regiment, it was very heavy. Counting the seven people who died in the battle a few days ago, the independent regiment with only 243 members lost more than one-sixth of its strength.

"Of course forget it." After Qin Tong answered Su Chuanyun's question in an affirmative tone, he paused before asking: "Old Ji, give the order, let's go back."

Ji Xinghe didn't give an order all the time, and kept rushing to the front, leading the 170 mountain-cutting mechas of the independent regiment, chasing the imperial mechas frantically.

This kind of pursuit is very meaningful, because theoretically speaking, those relatively slow regular-level mechas, baron and viscount-level aristocratic mechas, it is almost impossible to escape from their pursuit.

Unless it was the three Duke-level and seven Marquis-level mechas that turned around and intercepted with the Earl-level mechas. But they didn't dare to turn around. They really didn't know how much energy the independent group's mechs had left.

With 1,500 mechas, they can't beat the independent regiment. Although the number of mechas in the independent regiment has decreased now, the number of their mechas is even smaller.

How dare you fight?

Moreover, Yinan's order was to let them escape desperately, which could also be said to preserve their strength for the future.

With an upright reason, when they ran away without looking back, they didn't care about those regular-level imperial mechs at all.

However, the proposal of Qin Tong and others is also very meaningful.

The war in the No. 5 base theater is about to start, and the independent regiment should hurry back to help. Although the western theater is also an important battlefield for the Federation to face the empire, it is theoretically more important than the No. 5 base theater.

But Base No. 5 is the home of the Independent Regiment.

The members of the independent group actually have no home on the alien planet, but they all know that Ji Xinghe has a home on the alien planet—the place where Ji Rong Xinyue is located is Ji Xinghe's home.

"We're not going back to support."

Ji Xinghe finally spoke, and his words stunned all the small leaders of the independent regiment.

Before the squad leaders emphasized that the No. 5 base might not be able to defend, Ji Xinghe had already stated his reasons.

"If we all go back, the empire will counterattack immediately, and the 56,395 people who have died in the western theater during the seven days will all die in vain."

There was silence in the communication channel, and Su Chuanyun, who had caught up with several imperial mechs, snatched these gold stars from his team members as if venting his anger.

Compared with their destruction, the independent regiment's loss is nothing worth mentioning in terms of numbers, but this is because they all have advanced mechas, and they are the only special-level mechas with more than 50 gold stars. Only mech fighters are eligible to apply for mechas.

However, the mecha fighters in the western theater did not have mechas like them. Those regular troops who charged the empire's defense line and then began to wipe out the battle did not have mechas.

The bullets, shells, missiles and other weapons that the independent regiment can ignore can easily cause fatal damage to them.

The main casualties during these seven days occurred in the battle against the second and third lines of defense of the empire.

The two imperial defense lines were breached, and the independent regiment contributed a lot, but the more than 50,000 people who died in the western theater also contributed a lot?

"But if we don't go back..." The cripple hesitated for a moment, didn't say what he really wanted to say, but changed his words: "Old Ji, let's go back, just our Xinghe team.

Qin Tong immediately agreed: "We still have 170 Zhan Shans. If only members of our Xinghe team go back, we can leave 160 for the Western Theater, which is almost enough."

Among the members of the independent regiment who arrived in the western theater, the original Xinghe team had 19 people, not counting Ji Xinghe, but five people died in today's battle, so now there are only 14 people left.

Qin Tong, Harris, blind man, lame man, Su Chuanyun, Andre, left hand, deaf man, lame man, Li Lehai, Zhang Ji, Liu Junle, Jiang Yun, Chu Feng.

Among them, Qin Tong, Harris, the blind man, and the lame man have ace mechas, so there are only ten people who need to use Zhan Shan.

From this point of view, the results of the independent group have to be discounted, because the original Xinghe team has achieved the goal of all aces, that is to say, five ace fighters died today.

Counting the nineteen aces of the Xinghe team, the Federation currently has only forty-three ace mecha fighters, one Xinghe level mecha fighter.

Such a loss, before the neural link technology began to be popularized, the federation was a little unbearable. And now with the appearance of Yu Ren, the new ace, it is not as difficult for the Federation to build an ace mecha fighter.

Therefore, the results of the independent regiment are still brilliant.

"They can't do without us." Ji Xinghe directly denied this suggestion, and what he said was also true.

If it weren't for the sacrifice of the five ace mecha fighters of the Star River Squad today, it would be impossible for the independent regiment to retain 170 combatable mechas. Once the number of destroyed mechas increases too much, the outcome may be reversed.

"But..." The blind man thought of something: "Old Ji, do you really want to use that trick?"

Ji Xinghe responded softly: "Yes, that's the trick."

The communication channel became quiet, and the pursuit continued. Ji Xinghe gave the order to retreat only when the remaining energy of many mechas of the independent regiment was below 5%.

Their adventures are worthwhile. Without these imperial mechs being pursued by them, the western theater's operational goal of recovering the 1844 outpost defense line will be fully realized by noon tomorrow at the latest.

The Independence Regiment did not take part in the campaign of suppression, but directly returned to the No. 1842 outpost to rest and recuperate.

This time, Ji Xinghe did not personally repair the mechas of the independent regiment. The machine repair soldiers in the western theater understood this very well. They all felt that it was because Ji Xinghe's physical fitness was insufficient and he needed a good rest.

But when they saw Ji Xinghe got into a modified second-generation simulation system operation cabin that Chen Xun had just sent over, they felt that things were not that simple.

…………

The battle in the western theater has not yet ended, and the real-time statistics of the results have already appeared in front of Kentweiss, which made him laugh involuntarily, with some regrets in his heart.

"As of now, in the active offensive operations that lasted seven days, the western theater has wiped out more than 500,000 enemy troops and destroyed more than 3,700 imperial mechas, of which 2,352 were made by The Independence Regiment smashed it."

"Forty-one people from the independent regiment died, five of them were ace fighters, twenty-two were super fighters, and 14 were first-class fighters."

"Fifty six thousand four hundred and thirty-five people died in the western theater, including nine hundred and thirty-five mecha fighters, eleven special-level mecha fighters, and seventy-three first-class mecha fighters..."

"The number of imperial mechs seized in the western theater is 3,207. According to the preliminary report of the Mecha Corps, the number of mechas that can be repaired and modified is 1,756..."

Kentweiss listened, and suddenly interrupted the report: "General Ji Xinghe, how many planes have you personally defeated?"

The reporter did not answer directly, but hesitated and asked: "Commander, after the damage of General Ji Xinghe, those imperial mechas that were destroyed by our mechs after the damage, are they counted as General Ji Xinghe's personal cumulative defeat?"

"Of course." Kentweiss frowned, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "Without the damage of General Ji Xinghe, how can there be a chance to make up the knife? Don't ask about this kind of thing in the future. Our mech fighters heard it. They They will be very dissatisfied and feel that you are insulting them."

"yes."

As if the reporter had been prepared, after confirming the answer, he said directly: "General Ji Xinghe's personal cumulative destruction has reached 1,759, of which 431 are in our The ones harvested in the Western Theater, including 235, were harvested today."

Hearing this number that made everyone present couldn't help but marvel at it, Ken Twiss frowned but didn't let go.

Why can't it be rounded up?

Kentweiss recalled the process of Ji Xinghe leading the independent regiment to pursue the battle just now, especially when Ji Xinghe obviously had the opportunity to defeat the imperial mecha, but gave up the opportunity to other members of the independent regiment, and felt even more regretful.

Ji Xinghe was the only one who was not beaten in the independent group, or only members of the original Xinghe team were left. This was his first regret.

The independent regiment sacrificed five ace fighters, which was his second regret. Although he also knew that the sacrifice of those five aces had greatly helped the independent regiment win, but the trump card is the trump card.

Even if it is not as valuable as before, it is still worth exchanging ten super-level lives for an ace's life.

The third regret is that Ji Xinghe's cumulative defeats could not be completed. If Ji Xinghe got two thousand gold stars today, he would immediately promote the decision to award Ji Xinghe the rank of lieutenant general.

Although Ji Xinghe led the independent regiment and had achieved extremely high military exploits, according to the rules of the independent regiment or Xinghe team, most of these exploits would be divided among the team members.

All of Ji Xinghe's personal combat achievements will be used by him in exchange for related resources.

If he fights with all his strength, and Longzhou will definitely cooperate, Ji Xinghe will not have a big problem getting the rank of lieutenant general, but it will not be so easy for him to give Ji Xinghe the Xinghe Medal.

Ken Twiss is not wholeheartedly for the good of Ji Xinghe, he has his own plan.

Only with the rank of lieutenant general, Ji Xinghe can still belong to Tu Yuan's command line, but if he has the Xinghe Medal, the independent regiment led by Ji Xinghe can only belong to the commander-in-chief's command line.

That is his sequence of command.

So, do you want to...

Watching Ji Xinghe bring the independent regiment back to Outpost 1840, watching the battle in the No. 5 base theater area have begun, thinking about the news that the tower top organization told him the day before yesterday...

After hesitating, Kentweiss still sent a message to Tang Qiao: Don't forget your mission.

After sending this message, Kentweiss thought he would receive a message from Tang Qiao to apply for certain permissions, but what he didn't expect was that Tang Qiao replied to his message very quickly:

General Ji Xinghe ordered the Independent Regiment to rest at outpost 1840.

rest?

Why don't you take the independent regiment to support the fifth base?

This Ji Xinghe is really courageous. He fought in the western theater for seven days, and just went through a battle that everyone thought he couldn't survive. How dare he go to the fifth base alone to support?

When Kentweiss' thoughts kept flashing through his mind, he didn't forget to send another message to Tang Qiao: Remember my instructions, you must cooperate with General Ji Xinghe.

Tang Qiao, who was at outpost 1840, sneered when he received the second message.

Cooperate?

Didn't your account tell me to prevent Ji Xinghe from bringing an independent team back to aid Base No. 5?

Tang Qiao would not misunderstand what Kentweiss meant, the content of the news was not important, it was just to prevent verbal evidence from being left behind.

The important thing is that Kentweiss will not let Ji Xinghe return to the fifth base for support.

If Ji Xinghe hadn't made a choice that Kentweiss hadn't even thought of, Tang Qiao would have taken the blame for this.

Thinking about it this way, there was one more reason to help Ji Xinghe kill Kentweiss.

"General Ji Xinghe will stay at Outpost 1840, and I will stay here and do my best to cooperate with General Ji Xinghe's actions."

When Tang Qiao replied with the truth, the astonished expression of Kentweiss already appeared in his mind.

Looking up at the camera next to him, as if seeing Kent Weiss in the Nantianmen space station, Tang Qiao made an expression of "I can't figure it out" and looked at the surrounded A metal cabin.

Qin Tong, Harris, the blind man, the lame man, Su Chuanyun and other fourteen ace mecha fighters all lay in their sleeping bags to rest, and their sleeping bags and Chen Xun, who was wearing individual exoskeleton armor, surrounded the metal cabin up.

In addition to them, there are more than a dozen crew members of the Heian space battleship. They sent this metal cabin. At this time, they are also fully armed, and some people are staring at the console next to them.

On the outside, a group of elite soldiers brought by Tang Qiao surrounded the metal cabin in a protective manner.

But what was strange and normal was that Chen Xun was staring at Tang Qiao firmly. Although covered by a mask, Tang Qiao knew very well that Chen Xun must be staring at him without blinking.

Brother, one of our own.

Tang Qiao couldn't tell with the pain in his heart that he really came to protect the equipment brought by Ji Xinghe.

Yes, he didn't come to protect Ji Xinghe, he just came to protect this set of equipment.

Ji Xinghe does not need protection, no one dares to attack Ji Xinghe here, the western theater is not the theater of Ji Xinghe, but now Tang Qiao firmly believes that the existing total force of 300,000 troops in the western theater is at least 299,000 People would be willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Ji Xinghe.

This is the benefit of being a god.

But it is very possible that someone, such as Kent Weiss, would like to destroy this equipment of Ji Xinghe.

Tang Qiao was actually a little nervous. He knew very well how many cronies Kentweiss had in the Western Theater and what kind of authority he had. There is also the top organization of the tower, which also has great influence in the western theater.

Few people in the western theater may know of the existence of the tower top organization, but the tower top organization only needs to directly affect a dozen people, and can indirectly affect tens of thousands of people.

Will there be a conflict?

While Tang Qiao was thinking about this question, he had another question.

Is this system of Ji Xinghe really useful?

If it is useful, will it have a huge impact on the mech fighters of the Federation?

"The connection to the remote sensing operating system is successful."

When the technician's report sounded, Qin Tong and others were still asleep. They were too tired, but they still came.

No one paid attention to them, and all the sober people all looked at a nearby screen at the same time, which showed the main perspective of a mecha.

Many people couldn't help calling out its name.

"Xingyue!"
