Mecha and Knife

"In four and a half minutes, General Ji definitely not only defeated one Duke A and eight Marquis A. Of course, I didn't mean to deny the strength of Colonel Chen Xun's fighting power. I am also shocked now, just discussing the facts."

This is indeed true.

Everyone firmly believes that in this situation, if Ji Xinghe can come to the battlefield in person, he can really be the one man who is in charge.

"Snipers can only be regarded as surprise soldiers, even the strongest sniper in the Federation like Colonel Chen Xun."

When a staff officer said this, his tone was very regretful.

When the Federation created an electromagnetic sniper cannon that could kill all the Dukes in one hit, more than one person imagined using snipers to replace mech warriors.

After all, from the perspective of manufacturing cost, the third-generation electromagnetic sniper gun used by Chen Xun is significantly lower than the general-level mech that is comparable to the Duke's armor.

However, when this idea was implemented, it encountered many very real problems.

Ji Xinghe is unique, why not Chen Xun?

After achieving the Thousand Gorilla Slash, Chen Xun's fame and influence were not much worse than Ji Xinghe's.

An important factor in this is that compared to becoming a mech warrior, the threshold for becoming a sniper is much lower in people's eyes. After all, there are only 300,000 people in the Federation who can drive mechas, but it is not too much to say that there are 7 billion people who can shoot with guns.

As long as you can hold a gun and pull the trigger, you can shoot.

And in terms of hardware, the Federation can easily create a sniper rifle without recoil. In terms of software, with a little debugging, such a sniper rifle can be equipped with an automatic aiming program, and it can also calculate real-time wind direction, wind speed, air humidity, gravity and other factors, making aiming and shooting very simple.

Under certain conditions, everyone can achieve a hundred shots.

So the question is, does this count as a sniper?

Of course not.

Because the combat power of this so-called sniper is not as good as the Federation's self-propelled combat robots or automatic shooting platforms.

Robots don't know fear, and there will be absolutely no emotional changes, leading to the defeat of the Federal Mercenary Corps. When the robot has energy, it does not need complex supply composition, and it will not know how to get tired.

There is a cold knowledge that many people in the Federation don't know, or is subconsciously ignored. The number of snipers on alien planets is less than the number of special mecha fighters in the Federation.

It's not that they can't be trained. After all, the number of super mecha fighters in the Federation is too small compared to the total population of the Federation, let alone snipers?

The tactical requirements are really too small.

To use Yang Antai's words to explain it: "Fire a shot after aiming for 30 seconds? Let the empire see it, and think that our Federation can't even make bullets. They all give me heavy machine guns with a rate of fire of 2,000 per minute. Do you understand the kind of fire suppression?"

Without considering the consumption of conventional bullets at all, snipers are certainly not as lethal as machine gunners in the face of the empire's conventional forces, and the training of machine gunners is much easier than snipers.

And the lethality of the machine gunner is far inferior to that of the missile. After all, the firepower of snipers is too small.

As for the strategic level, the demand is close to zero, because in the war between the Federation and the Empire, there will be no situation where the enemy commander is stupid and exposed within the effective attack distance of the sniper.

Assassination or something is even more nonsense.

And the grand duke and commander of the empire like Nakano Yoshinobu, even if they appear, will also drive the duke armor, a super defensive mech, and commanders of other levels will also drive the marquis armor, First Earl.

Therefore, the real targets of the Federation's snipers on Alien Planet are all Imperial Mechs.

In the case of using tungsten steel alloy or tungsten steel gold bullets, whether it is the first-generation electromagnetic sniper gun that can cause damage to the earl's armor, the second-generation electromagnetic sniper gun that can cause damage to the marquis armor, or the third-generation electromagnetic sniper gun that can cause damage to the duke armor Generation electromagnetic rail sniper gun.

All have a cooling time of at least ten minutes, and consume a lot of energy, especially the third generation.

In a normal battlefield environment, the mechas of both sides must be fighting together, and most of them are plain battlefields without high points. How can it be so easy to achieve precise hits?

It takes ten minutes to wait for a missed shot, so what kind of damage can Duke A, who has ten minutes of fighting time, cause? Even if it was hit because of the huge size of the mecha, but in terms of the size of the mecha, can it really kill the driver directly? If the hit is not a vital position, the imperial mecha can continue to fight with the bullet hole.

There are also some reasons why snipers targeting mechs can only become surprise soldiers. For example, if the sniper did not have time to move after shooting, he would encounter long-range bombardment from the empire. Chen Xun was almost killed by the bombing before.

For other reasons, the Federation gave up its plan to form a sniper corps similar to an independent regiment. The snipers of the Federation that can pose a threat to mechs, therefore, are in various theaters and troops, and they have more or less brilliant performances.

The most eye-catching one is naturally Chen Xun, especially today.

But snipers like Chen Xun, just like mecha fighters like Ji Xinghe and Li Yuanba, are hard to come by and cannot be cultivated at all.

"Even Colonel Chen Xun can't stop it."

People didn't relax because of Chen Xun's super performance, because the number of imperial mechs is too much. Chen Xun, who can only fire one shot per minute, destroyed one Duke armor and fourteen Marquis armors. After that, all his replaceable accessories have been consumed.

The cooling time was extended to four shots in ten minutes, and the dust storm had struck again, or in other words, Chen Xun and the imperial mechas all crashed into the dust storm that was not affected by the federal firepower bombardment.

The imperial mechs also discovered this, when they determined that Chen Xun's shooting frequency had dropped, whether it was because of the weapon, or the reason why the dust storm hit again and made it impossible to aim.

All started to accelerate.

"It would be great if there were ten Colonels Chen Xun."

Amidst the sighs, those who were unable to participate in this battle could only look anxiously at the various information that kept coming in.

"Nineteen Zhanshanjia, the independent regiment only repaired 19 Zhanshanjia, and six general-level mechas driven by six ace-level captains, the total is only twenty-five."

"Not only are the numbers very small, but the mecha warriors driving these Shanzhanjias are also in very poor condition, so their mechas were sent to the back for maintenance."

Among the mecha fighters of the independent regiment who are about to be overtaken, only Zuo Hand, Jiang Yun, Wang Kang, Cui Kelai, Ma Yi, and Jefferson, the captains of the six general-level mechas, have real combat power.

Although they are all genuine ace mecha fighters, with only twenty-five mechas, how can they stop the large number of imperial mechas whose average combat power is not weaker than theirs?

Considering the state of the nineteen Shanjia mecha fighters after repeated battles and long-distance raids, everyone seemed to see a scene they didn't want to see.

The independent regiment will collapse if touched.

"If the pilots of those nineteen Zhanshanjia are all ace mecha fighters who are in peak condition..."

People involuntarily began to fantasize during their prayers. Under normal circumstances, this kind of fantasy is just like the federation that people imagined just now has ten Chen Xun, and the federation that people imagined earlier has ten Ji Xinghe and ten Li Yuanba. is impractical.

But people's fantasy today is because of a life that is called "the world's greatest gift to mankind".

Achieved.

After all, the encounter happened as people expected, and it was under the condition that the imperial mechs had completed a partial assembly.

Thirty-nine Imperial Marquis Armors rushed to the twenty-five Federal Armors waiting in full force.

Even if they saw the six ace mecha fighters standing in the front, they didn't mean to be afraid at all.

Not Ji Xinghe, Li Yuanba, Han Li, Jackson, Rovich...

The mere unknown ace fighters of the Federation, before the emergence of neural link technology, were all the targets of the Federation Marquis A and Duke A, so what is it?

The superiority in numbers made the marquises think they were sure of victory.

But when the two sides were about to meet each other, the twenty-five federal mechas made an extremely strange formation change, and the six general-level mechas that were supposed to be under the greatest pressure all retreated behind the nineteen Shanshanjias.

What's the meaning?

It means that the old lady will form an army by herself!

Xingyue is in the Xingyue armor that has turned on the overclocking mode. When following Ji Rongxinyue and others, the front formation changed to the back formation, and the rear formation changed to the front formation.

With the help of the server and communication device in that armored vehicle, the consciousness has descended into the nineteen Shanshanjia at the same time, and has obtained super computing power.

Not only the images that can be seen by the nineteen Zhanshanjia, but also the images that can be seen by the six general-level mechas, as well as all the detection eyes placed on the chasing and fleeing path.

All the information was integrated in her consciousness, and the calculation and analysis were completed in milliseconds.

The transmission is also completed in milliseconds, as well as Xingyue's "sub-galaxy-level" combat awareness and operating skills.

So this is not the ace mecha fighters of the six independent regiments, trading the lives of nineteen super mech fighters in exchange for their chance to survive. Instead, the six ace mecha fighters who were relatively weak at this moment, put the most powerful pressure on the "nineteen" sub-galaxy-level mecha fighters when an encounter with fewer enemies and more enemies occurred.

It's really subgalactic.

Although limited by the performance of Zhanshanjia, Xingyue can't fully display her combat power, but the problem is that when all the operations are done by her alone, the cooperation of 19 Zhanshanjia is unprecedented. of perfection.

The effect of one plus one greater than two is added to the nineteenth, what kind of effect is it?

It took less than ten seconds for the mechas of the two sides to encounter each other, and thirteen Marquis armors were destroyed, and the difference in numbers between the two sides was forcibly evened out. This temporary team of the independent regiment was able to maintain a complete victory posture.

Unfortunately, except for the six captains of the independent regiment, no one else could see this scene for the time being.

Many people who were able to see the battle situation of the independent group lost the communication of the independent group when this encounter was about to happen, as if they were affected by the dust storm.

When the advantage in numbers disappeared, the remaining Marquis A was completely powerless to fight back against the twenty-five federal ace mecha fighters.

When the follow-up imperial mechs arrived, they saw the 'corpses' of thirty-nine Marquis armors, and the twenty-five federal mechas that destroyed the situation that caused this situation had already chased after those who had just jumped over. They are chasing the Imperial Mechs of the Independence Regiment.

"Chase!"

After Nakano Yoshinobu's death, another Imperial Duke who took over the command gave the order.

As a result, there was a somewhat unimaginable pursuit on the battlefield.

Shen Mu and others led more than a hundred Zhan Shanjias to the front, a small number of imperial mechas chased behind them, Jiang Yun and others chased behind a small number of imperial mechas, and a large number of imperial mechas chased behind Jiang Yun and the others. Ji Rong Xinyue led the Xinghe team, the ape team, and more than a hundred Zhanshanjia, chasing behind a large number of imperial mechas.

Layer after layer of pursuit is extremely rare, not to mention there are many retrogrades among them.

One after another, the Zhanshanjia that lost its combat effectiveness was repaired, and under the driving of one after another mecha warrior who lost its combat effectiveness, it turned around and faced the imperial mecha that was chasing up.

They were supposed to be crushed at the touch of a button, but they all showed combat power not weaker than the ace mecha fighters, making the Imperial Marquis who faced them collapse at the touch of a button.

An hour ago, Xingyue, who felt powerless because he could only operate those mechas of the regular federal level, was finally able to fight happily after having a large number of Shanshanjias to operate.

More and more imperial mechas fell on the pursuit road, and the imperial mechas kept chasing, but they still couldn't see even a fallen Shanshanjia.

It makes them feel hopeless.

When Chen Xun's gunfire finally stopped, when the Xinghe team took one hundred and nine Zhan Shanjias, successfully joined Jiang Yun and others, and finally finished with Shen Mu and others who couldn't run anymore and had no time to repair the mechs. When converging.

The confrontation suddenly appeared.

Because the number of imperial mechas was less than two hundred, while the number of mechas that the independent regiment could participate in the battle had recovered to one hundred and fifty-nine.

What is a slight numerical advantage in front of the tireless Xinghe team?

The assembled 197 imperial mechs stopped their charge. They looked past the mechas driven by Ji Rong Xinyue and others, and saw the 148 Zhan Shan who were guarded by 148 and could not be repaired in time. A, and the federal machine repair team who had no time to retreat.

After chasing for such a long time and over a distance of hundreds of kilometers, they finally caught up with the target, but they were blocked by a solid wall and could no longer pass.

It is not impossible to force the past, but even if they can defeat those Shanshanjia who have no combat power in the independent regiment, they will inevitably end in annihilation.

Why bother?

"Retreat."

The Duke of the Empire gave the order helplessly, and their mechs didn't have much energy, but before it and the imperial mechas it led could breathe a sigh of relief because of this order, they heard a call from the independent group. a voice.

"King Zhendong has been killed by me, and I am waiting for you in the second canyon."

This is the voice of Ji Xinghe?

They are not sure about this, and they are not willing to believe that King Zhendong died like this.

But what they can be sure of is - the retreat is cut off!
