Mecha and Knife

Base No. 6 had already entered the highest level of combat readiness when the Independent Regiment officially joined the battle.

For the sudden war, people actually already had a premonition.

Some are because Ji Rong Xinyue captured two imperial princes alive, some are because Ji Rong Xinyue defeated 30 Marquis Armors, and some are because Ji Xinghe was the only one who went to the second war zone when a large-scale battle broke out in the Gods Mountain. Support, and the driver is Zhanshanjia instead of Xingyuejia.

No matter what the reason was, when the premonition became a reality, people got rid of all the distracting thoughts in their minds, and went all out to enter the state of preparation.

"Transfer? No, I'm not transferring."

"I don't transfer it either. Although I am a scientific researcher, I have also received professional military training, and I can also shoot. The bullets fired by children when they shoot can kill orangutans, and of course mine can too."

"Don't waste time, one more person is one person. If the empire comes, I am willing to stay inside the base and fight them to the death. Of course, I don't believe that they can defeat the independent regiment. No force can defeat the independent regiment."

"Weapon, what you need to do most now is to give me a weapon, instead of talking nonsense with me here to make me transfer."

"You want me to be a deserter? Hehe, you're insulting me!"

"..."

There are a large number of non-combatants in the No. 6 base. According to the relevant rules, they must be transferred from the No. 6 base as soon as possible to avoid the huge losses caused by the capture of the No. 6 base due to the failure of defense, especially among them. scientific research personnel, medical personnel, and technical arms.

But when they received the order to gather at the parking area and prepare to transfer, surprisingly, they all chose to refuse.

Qiao Menglian was very pleased and moved because of this, and also felt a kind of irritability.

"I'm scolding them now, and there is still a chance for most of them to be transferred. The Space Battleship Peace has a chance to take nearly 10,000 people. As long as these people leave, the rest of us will be Combatants, even if..."

His eager words suddenly stopped, looked at Chen Xun and Li Zhengfan and asked: "Are you sure that the empire will not choose to attack our base, but will go after the independent regiment instead?"

Looking at the two at the same time, most of them were focused on Chen Xun. Compared with Li Zhengfan, Qiao Menglian actually trusted Chen Xun's judgment more.

Not only Qiao Menglian, but also many people. Although Li Zhengfan's past is extremely brilliant, he has also "betrayed the Federation". The main reason why the second theater took such a big risk this time is because of Li Zhengfan's arrival.

Qiao Menglian has every reason to believe that Li Zhengfan will ignore the survival of the No. 6 base for his strategic intentions.

Li Zhengfan, who noticed Qiao Menglian's eyes, did not speak, but looked at the big screen in the command center. He had already ended the call with Tu Yuan and determined the relevant tactical plan.

All that needs to be done now is to wait for the choice of the empire.

Chen Xun was also looking at the big screen. The picture displayed on it was the battle picture sent back by the independent regiment after a delay.

The independent regiment that implemented the No. 1 non-standard tactics has already destroyed thousands of imperial mechas, leaving only more than five hundred imperial mechas in the first round. It was completely destroyed by a team separated from the independent regiment.

Great record.

But the situation is not optimistic.

Because most of the remaining imperial remnants are noble mechas, and the absolute main force among them is more than two hundred Marquis mechas. Composed of A, Marquis A, and Duke A.

Moreover, with the development of the war, they have completed their assembly, and it is impossible for the independent regiment to launch a charge in the scattered formation caused by the enemy's pursuit of Ji Rong Xinyue as before.

In a frontal team battle, facing such an elite army of imperial mechs, even if the independent regiment can fight, it will inevitably suffer damage.

Are independent groups afraid?

Of course they are not afraid, but their mechas are already running out of energy, and the enemy army still has a large number of reinforcements, which are already approaching the battlefield where they are, and may appear at any time.

Continuing to fight at this time will inevitably lead to annihilation of the entire army.

"Retreat, report, the independent regiment retreated, Colonel Ji Rong Xinyue killed through the Imperial Anti-Galaxy Corps, and completed the rendezvous with the independent regiment, and they retreated together."

When the report sounded, the picture displayed on the big screen changed, and the assembled independent group began to retreat at full speed in the direction of the No. 6 base in the second canyon.

The imperial mecha followed closely behind and began to pursue.

Only then did Chen Xun answer Qiao Menglian's question just now: "We can't be sure, but logically, this is the most likely choice the empire will make. Compared to capturing the No. 6 base, annihilating our independent regiment is more important to them." Say it's worth more."

Qiao Menglian was prepared to ask again: "Then what if the empire chooses to attack our base and force the independent regiment to return?"

"Then we will guard until the independent regiment completes the change of clothes, and we should cooperate internally and externally to annihilate the enemy."

Judging from the defensive weapon arrangement of the No. 6 base, even if thousands of imperial mechs forcefully launch an attack, they can hold for a period of time, so Chen Xun's statement is correct.

But the problem is, if the empire has accurate coordinates of the No. 6 base, or even the location of the entrance and exit during this process.

The ensuing long-range firepower attack will make the No. 6 base completely meaningless.

Not only today's battle, but even today's battle, the Second Theater won the victory, and the Gods Mountain Theater also won the victory. As long as the two empire jump bases in the Second Canyon and the Gods Mountain Theater were not captured, the empire would have The ability to launch a saturated long-range fire attack on the No. 6 base at any time.

As the commander of Base No. 6, Qiao Menglian really wanted to say what was in his heart, but he saw that Chen Xun had turned around and walked outside the command center, so he couldn't say anything.

He knew what Chen Xun was going to do. Although he didn't think that Chen Xun's combat power was meaningful in today's battle, this spirit infected him.

What are you thinking, Ji Xinghe is now the commander of the second war zone, and the No. 6 base is under the management of Ji Xinghe, so why should I worry about it?

"I gave the empire three choices." Li Zhengfan said suddenly: "But in fact, the empire has only one choice, and that is to pursue the independent regiment."

Qiao Menglian was silent for three seconds, and then asked: "Then what should the independent group do? No matter how strong they are, they will not be able to fight when their mechs run out of energy. You can't, just count on Qin Tong and the others." Annihilate nearly 2,000 imperial mechs, right?"

The independent regiment does not need to worry about mech energy in a short period of time. There are only five mech fighters, Qin Tong, Harris, Su Chuanyun, Lai Zi, and Ji Rong Xinyue, because the energy core used by their mechs is nuclear fusion. Reactor.

Qiao Menglian continued to ask questions as soon as he opened his mouth: "Also, our mecha fighters have been in a critical state for a long time. Even if the energy core can be replaced, how will their physical and mental states be restored?"

Li Zhengfan didn't answer, he was a little nervous.

Qiao Menglian noticed the changes in the information on the big screen, and became nervous, clenching his fists.

The imperial mechs chasing the Independence Regiment did not choose to destroy the federal detection eyes on the pursuit path in order to be able to bite the Independence Regiment. Therefore, their movements can be seen very clearly in the command center of the No. 6 base.

At this time, they had come to an area with a width of more than three kilometers, and the independent regiment they were chasing retreated at full speed against the cliff on the side of the second canyon.

The fork in the road created by the change in terrain is right ahead.

In this area, if they choose to attack base No. 6, they can give up the pursuit of the independent regiment and start marching on the road close to the cliff on the other side, because it will be closer to reach No. 6 base from the other side .

The Empire once launched an attack on Base No. 6, and it reached a position three kilometers away from the precise coordinates of Base No. 6, so it is impossible for them not to know which road is the closest to Base No. 6.

But they didn't turn.

The reinforcements of the empire soon appeared in the detection line of sight of the No. 6 base. They also did not turn around, chasing the imperial mechs they were supporting and the direction in which the independent regiment retreated.

Li Zhengfan laughed suddenly, expressionless.

Judging from the current situation, the empire has indeed made the only choice he expected.

"I like what General Tu Yuan said very much. The independent regiment fought battles that our other mecha corps could not fight."

Hearing this important and unimportant, something nonsense answer, Qiao Menglian looked to the other corner of the big screen.

The information displayed on it is about the federal mercenary regiments who are about to land in the second canyon. More than two thousand mechas are riding on multiple spaceships, giving people a sense of succession.

But their fighting power is really worrying.

Hopefully, they can get some of the imperial mechs back to help, so that the independent regiment will still be able to fight.

As a commander, Qiao Menglian had already done everything he could do in this battle, and he had no chance to do some of the work that he was supposed to do. All he can do now is wait.

He suddenly felt envious of Chen Xun, commanding when it was time to command, and fighting when it was time to fight.

He was also a little envious of a mechanic like Shen Mu. At this time, Shen Mu had already set off with the mechanic team from the No. 6 base on the Heian space battleship. They would arrive at a certain area in the direction of the independent regiment's retreat ahead of time, and then risk their lives , Use the shortest time to restore the mechs of the independent regiment to their peak combat power.

Their role in this battle far exceeds that of him, the commander of the No. 6 base.

What he envied most was Li Zhengfan, who was able to continue to make command decisions at this time, unlike a commander like him, whose command authority and ability were not the slightest bit short except for the affairs of the base.

Can I go further?

No, what should be asked is, can my abilities continue to improve?

Thinking of this, Qiao Menglian looked at Li Zhengfan with fiery eyes, his best learning goal was standing in front of him.

Just like Ji Xinghe is to mecha warriors, how can he miss such an opportunity?

"Admiral Tu Yuan." Li Zhengfan said: "The empire has made a choice. The independent regiment's retreat route map has been sent. We need the support of troops along the blockade."

"kindness."

After Tu Yuan responded, he connected to the Nantianmen Command again and asked for command authority.

Ivanovic, who has been numb, naturally would not refuse, and no matter from which point of view, he has no reason to refuse.

——

woo woo woo...

When the sound like an air defense siren sounded, all the staff moved into action within the federal blockade line 537 kilometers away from the No. 6 base and 120 kilometers away from the border of the second war zone.

After the order from Tu Yuan was issued, commanders at all levels began to communicate and mobilize in an orderly manner.

"The second war zone encountered..."

After the situation is roughly explained.

People didn't have time to cheer for the Independence Regiment's victory over thousands of Imperial mechs, and they didn't have time to be shocked by the news that there seemed to be an Empire jump base in the second canyon.

"Now, the Independence Regiment has retreated from the Second Canyon. The Imperial Mecha Legion has chosen to pursue the Independence Regiment, and the retreat direction of the Independence Regiment is the blockade line where our department is located. Our task is to fight for a replacement opportunity for the Independence Regiment at all costs." A power core's time."

The content of the mission sounds simple, but everyone can hear the degree of danger involved.

How could the imperial mecha force that allowed the independent regiments to choose to retreat from the edge temporarily could be blocked by the federal forces on a mere blockade?

A few days ago, when they heard the news that Ji Rong Xinyue had captured two imperial princes, veterans with keen senses noticed something was wrong, and reminded the recruits to be mentally prepared to support the second theater at any time.

But when the simple and cruel order really came, a small number of people still showed signs of emotional collapse.

When everyone was preparing for the battle, there was a voice with a strange tone in the communication channel of one team.

From a recruit.

Although his voice at the moment has changed due to emotional problems, others still recognize who he is.

A few days ago, he said that he wanted to fight side by side with Ji Xinghe, but now...

"Why can't we use fire support? We have so many missile launch bases, so many orbital missile launch platforms, and space battleships, why can't we use fire support?"

The captain was not angry after hearing such a voice, but explained patiently.

"Because of the cover of the dust storm, our long-range firepower cannot accurately strike the target, and for the super-defensive mecha, there is no lethality if it is not an absolutely accurate strike."

"What about nuclear weapons? We have nuclear weapons. There are so many Imperial mechs, nearly 2,000, and there are more than 500 Marquis armors. Why can't we use nuclear weapons?"

"Because they are chasing the independent regiment too closely, if nuclear weapons are used, they will cause accidental injury."

"So, people from the independent regiment can't sacrifice, but we can sacrifice?"

The communication channel suddenly fell silent.

The captain was still not angry, and even laughed. He asked softly, "How many Imperial Mechas do you think we can destroy with our strength?"

"One hundred? Fifty? Thirty?" The voice of the recruit became more and more angry: "We can't take down many Imperial mechs, we will all die, why should we let us fight such an unprepared battle? What made us sacrifice for the Independence Regiment? No, we were not sacrificed, we were killed by them, and they led the enemy to us."

The captain sighed inwardly.

"You're right. In the face of a swarm charge of nearly 2,000 imperial mechas, we may only be able to destroy a few dozen of them. How much combat power will be lost for the Imperial Legion?

Then, who will deal with the imperial forces whose combat effectiveness has not been affected?

Independent group! "

The captain said one sentence at a time, and his tone gradually became stricter.

"The independent regiment only has more than 300 mechas. They have already destroyed thousands of imperial mechas. Their physical and mental willpower have been exhausted to the limit. But they did not choose to really retreat, but chose to continue fighting.

I don't hope that they will sacrifice in the future, but I know that some of them will definitely sacrifice, and there will be many people. They are super mecha fighters, even ace mecha fighters.

So, you are wrong.

It’s not that the Independence Regiment harmed us, it’s not that we sacrificed for the Independence Regiment, but in this war with the Empire, all of us must do our best.

The independent group has tried their best, they are very tired, they have to take a break and fight again, this time it is desperate.

We are desperate, not to create a desperate opportunity for the independent group, but to win! "

The team communication channel has truly quieted down, even the recruit who was emotionally broken because of the sudden and knowingly certain death battle has also quieted down.

After a short pause, the captain spoke again.

"I know you have all heard that General Ji Xinghe will give his soldiers the opportunity to choose not to participate in the battle before the battle where they may die.

But unfortunately, I am not General Ji Xinghe. I admire him, but I don't recognize or even hate his kindness.

Therefore, I will not give you the opportunity to choose to retreat, and it is impossible for you to retreat.

But I can give you another option. "

While speaking, he had already walked in front of the recruit who asked the question just now, his hands drooped naturally, looking very relaxed, like a brother-in-law meeting for the first time.

But the veteran next to him could see that the captain only needed less than a second to complete the action of drawing the gun and shooting.

He looked at the recruit who couldn't see his expression clearly because he was wearing a protective mask, and spoke softly in the communication channel.

"You can choose to violate military orders like General Ji Xinghe, and then be shot to death by me in accordance with military law. After you die, your reputation as a coward will be passed on to Azure Star by me.

You can also choose to fight alongside me, with the Independent Regiment. In the end, together with me and the mech fighters who died in the Independence Regiment, General Ji Xinghe sent him back to Azure Star, and was buried in the mountain where victory is destined to be heard... Heroic Mountain! "
