Mecha and Knife Chapter 447

The fighting in the western theater only stopped for half a day.

When night fell again, the main force of the Empire, which occupied the defense line of outpost No. 1842, launched a more ferocious harassment war against outpost No. 1840 than last night.

Almost like a formal attack.

There is actually nothing to say about the reason. If I really want to say something, it is that outpost 1840 was still occupied by the empire this morning, but now it has been recovered by the federation.

Some people in the Western Theater Command thought that there was no need to recapture the No. 1840 outpost at this time, because half a day was not enough for them to repair all the defensive fortifications.

When the empire occupied the outpost No. 1840, although it had repaired the relevant facilities, it could almost be said that it had built a complete line of defense, but it was in a hurry when it retreated, and there was no time to do more damage.

But after all, this is the era when firepower is king. There are countless high-energy and high-explosive lethal weapons. If they are destroyed casually, the defense line of the No. 1840 outpost, the Federation, must invest a lot of resources and time to repair it.

In addition to the firepower platforms used to defend against attacks, there are also outposts that can accommodate more troops that need to be repaired. If these cannot be completed, it is extremely detrimental to defense.

If they had stayed at outpost 1838, because the distance had become longer, the empire's attack at night could not have been so ferocious, and it might even not have launched an attack.

Although the imperial orangutans are resistant to cold, once the marching distance is extended, they need to carry more oxygen. Judging from the reserves of individual oxygen supply devices commonly used in the empire, the distance between the outposts 1842 and 1838 is sufficient. Keep them from attacking.

But this time, before Ji Xinghe could speak, Davis issued an order to recover and defend outpost 1840.

"We didn't dare to fight when the independent regiment was here. When the independent regiment is gone, what should we fight? We retreat again and again, and there is always a time when we can't retreat. We have an advantage now, so we must use our advantage as much as possible. Expand, seize the opportunity to recover more outposts, or continue to retreat, I choose the former."

This is the conclusive answer Davis gave when facing the inquiry from the War Scar Canyon Theater Command. In fact, there is no need to mention the specific advantages. The people in the command have already seen the previous results.

Not to mention Ji Xinghe's night attack with Kedilin, but only the three battles of the independent regiment in one day and one night, which has already brought a very obvious advantage to the western theater.

In the first battle, facing the pursuit of 600 imperial mechas, the Independence Regiment destroyed 143 mechas and defeated the remaining 457 mechas.

In the second battle, in the face of the empire's night attack, the independent regiment defeated 207 fighters and held the defense line of outpost No. 1838.

In the third battle, facing 800 imperial mechs, the Independent Regiment achieved the rarest complete annihilation of mechas in field team battles. With the support of Ji Xinghe, the head of the Independent Regiment, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Western Theater Command joined forces. The mecha corps composed of more than 500 mechas defeated the mecha corps composed of more than 500 mechas.

Not counting the defeats in Ji Xinghe's support operation and the night attack operations, but only counting the three days since the independent regiment came to the western theater, the cumulative number of destructions has reached 1,150.

The Empire does have more mechs than the Federation, and the number of mech fighters is much larger than the Federation, but it's not endless.

Counting the number of imperial mechas destroyed in the western theater in the past three days, the empire has lost more than 1,700 mechas.

Moreover, more than 900 imperial mechas among them could be repaired and modified for use by the mecha fighters of the Federation, but the Empire failed to capture even a single Federation mecha.

Of course, those federal mechs that were damaged can also be repaired and put into battle again. There are a lot of mecha fighters who have died, but there are more than 200,000 mecha fighters in the federation who don't have any mechas to use, so the federation has never been short of mecha fighters at this stage.

Only the armor is missing.

In the case of ebb and flow, even if the casualties in the western theater are not small, the advantages are extremely obvious.

So the order to occupy outpost No. 1840 was executed, and the order to stick to this line of defense was also issued by the headquarters.

A total of sixteen mechas were destroyed or damaged by the independent regiment, and all combatable mechas, including the regiment leader Ji Xinghe, all participated in the first night of defensive operations at the No. 1840 outpost defense line. To the third night of the Western theater.

The empire wanted to replicate the combat objectives of the Independence Regiment last night, rush into the defense line of the 1840 outpost, and wreak havoc on the logistics warehouse.

The independent regiment with only 88 mechas left shouldered the most difficult defensive combat mission. They defended, and no mechas of the independent regiment were broken or damaged that night.

When the sky brightened again, while the empire withdrew its troops to the 1842 line of defense, it nervously deployed heavy troops to guard their key positions such as artillery positions, logistics warehouses, and headquarters.

The level of tension is higher than that of the people on the western theater defense line when night falls.

The reason is simple, they don't have Ji Xinghe's independent regiment.

But this time, the Independence Regiment did not attack their positions as they did yesterday morning. But they had to deploy heavy troops, consuming defensive resources for nothing.

It can be regarded as winning before fighting, and this is the benefit of having a deterrent force.

"Ji Xinghe still has his soldiers, the limit is like this."

In the imperial headquarters in Battle Scar Canyon, Yinan made a judgment.

After losing a lot of mechs and troops, he felt that he had found the limit of the independent regiment, so he came up with an idea.

"Are you sure?" Aida Kang said with a smile: "I thought several times before that I had found the limit of Ji Xinghe, but the fact is that I was wrong every time."

Yinan was a little surprised when he heard this. Aidakang, who likes to be called the general, almost never makes mistakes. Even if it is really wrong, it is impossible for it to say so easily.

For example, in the first live capture operation against Ji Xinghe, Ada Kang dispatched six duke-level mechas, and also sent a large number of mechas to cooperate with each other, as well as a miniaturized mecha that was also very precious to the empire. The leap gate device turned out to be equivalent to annihilation of the entire army.

Of course, the Federation used nuclear weapons in that war, so Aida Kang did not make a mistake, but from an overall point of view, he made a contribution.

Because the Empire used a nuclear weapon, the Federation also had a chance to use a nuclear weapon. It was better to use it on Ji Xinghe than to use it on the Battle Scar Canyon Imperial Command.

Another example is the challenge of Ji Xinghe in the battle of Vulture Mountain. It is precisely because Aida Kang believes that Ji Xinghe cannot complete this challenge, so the empire agreed to it when it had a clear advantage.

As a result, Ji Xinghe was completed.

The number of Empire mechas defeated within the three-hour challenge time limit is fine, but at the end of the time limit for challenging the mountain, facing four Duke-level mechas and three Marquis-level mechas, it created an even more powerful empire. Shocking record.

The destruction of a large number of regular-level mechas, and the destruction of combat forces such as the Marquis and the Duke, was the real reason for the defeat of the empire in the Battle of Vulture Mountain.

But if any orangutan from the empire came to replay this battle, it would be impossible to refuse Ji Xinghe's challenge under the premise of having the order to capture Ji Xinghe alive.

Therefore, this is not Aida Kang's fault.

"The general didn't make a mistake, I might make a mistake, but with the general around, I wouldn't make a mistake."

Yinan's response made Aida Kang smile even more happily.

Then it asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yinan pondered for a while before speaking.

"I originally wanted to use the breach of the second line of defense as a bait to put Ji Xinghe into a mortal situation. Of course, I would not kill him. But since the general reminded me, I will be attacked by the second line of defense." To break through, to consume Ji Xinghe's strength, to consume the strength that can support him. In the end, the third line of defense was broken as a bait to capture Ji Xinghe alive."

Aida Kang continued to smile and asked, "Is it worth it?"

It is very clear that the breach of the line of defense Yinan mentioned is very different from the breach of their first line of defense, that is, the line of defense composed of the original imperial forces at the No. 1840 outpost.

The first line of defense that had been breached, although a large number of mechas had been damaged, nearly 150,000 conventional troops were preserved, as well as an equal amount of combat supplies. In addition to oxygen, but oxygen was very valuable and important at the time, but afterwards it was the cheapest combat material.

An empire with a leap gate is so capricious.

The breach of the second line of defense and the third line of defense mentioned by Yinan means that including the nearly 150,000 troops who retreated from the first line of defense, there are a total of 500,000 troops and the same amount of combat supplies. will be annihilated by the Federation.

For the empire, this amount of troops is of course nothing, but the resources consumed by sending so many troops to alien planets cannot be ignored by the empire.

Especially for Yinan, the imperial general in the Battle Scar Canyon theater, if he loses so many troops and supplies, but cannot get replenished in time, he may even lose the empire and pay a huge price, which is about to be completely occupied Battle Scar Canyon.

"worth."

When Yinan answered out loud, he looked reverently at the sky in a certain direction. He was in the headquarters and was separated by a wall, so he couldn't actually see the sky.

But it is like seeing a planet in the galaxy where a certain star is located, or even seeing a towering building on that planet.

"What His Majesty wants to do, no matter how much you pay, it is worth it."

"well said."

Aida Kang had already started to applaud when he spoke, and then reminded: "Ji Xinghe has more than one hundred Marquis-level mechas, but he actually has three hundred. Moreover, it may be transferred at any time."

Yinan was very surprised. It didn't know how Aidakang knew the news, but it was very sensible and didn't ask.

"Judging from the level of combat power displayed by the soldiers of Ji Xinghe driving the Marquis-level mechas, it is even worse than our Earl-level mechas. If there are two hundred mechas, it is not a big problem. If there are more than two hundred mechas... General .”

Aida Kang nodded with a smile and said: "More than two hundred, I will give you the anti-Galaxy team."

"Thank you General."

With the support of Adakon, Yinan began to put its ideas into action.

The first step is to withdraw troops from the original second line of defense and now the first line of defense.

Ji Xinghe, who was repairing the mech, received the news.

"It's normal to withdraw troops. On the defense line of outpost 1842, they have accumulated more than 250,000 troops. They are consuming a lot of survival materials every moment, which has exceeded the capacity of a defense line."

Standing beside Ji Xinghe, Chen Xun watched Ji Xinghe's action of repairing the mecha, feeling like he was not aware of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he didn't know how to repair mechas, he was able to repair six mountain-cutting mechas by himself in ten hours, which was another miracle.

The Western War Zone was not unwilling to transfer some machine repair troops to Ji Xinghe. On the contrary, it arranged a luxurious machine repair corps as soon as the broken and damaged mountain-slashing mechas were sent back.

But Ji Xinghe rejected the good intentions of the Western War Zone, and the reason was that the Western War Zone could not refute it: I can repair it myself, and you can repair other mechas. If you are free, you can repair and transform more imperial mechas.

As a result, the mechanical repairmen who came to support from the western theater all left.

"According to the forecast of the Western Theater Command, the imperial force in 1842 should remain around 150,000, and 100,000 will retreat to 1844 and 1845."

Chen Xun was not worried that his voice would affect Ji Xinghe's work of repairing the mecha.

He was used to discussing the military situation and combat plans with Ji Xinghe, who seemed to need no rest and maintained high-intensity maintenance operations, when everyone else in the independent regiment was resting.

"In 1844 and 1845, these two outposts were located in a double canyon terrain. They formed horns and formed a line of defense. The empire chose to withdraw its troops to this line of defense. In addition to sharing the pressure of 1842's survival, it was also for Let us be afraid of dividing our troops into battle."

"Double canyon terrain, even if we destroy the entire line of defense, we can only continue to advance from one of the canyons, and their reinforcements can march from the other canyon at any time, go around to our rear and form a pincer attack on us. If we If the troops are divided...the Western Theater Command cannot mobilize so many troops in a short time."

"Time is critical for us, because it is now certain that another main force mobilized by the empire is targeting Base No. 5. We may need to return to Base No. 5, and when we leave, Battle Scar Canyon will The imperial troops on the side will definitely counterattack the western theater. The eastern theater..."

Chen Xun talked a lot, but he didn't sum it up much: the independent regiment stayed in the Battle Scar Canyon, and both the eastern and western theaters could launch active attacks on the empire and continue to regain lost ground. When the independent regiment returns to the No. 5 base theater, the No. 5 base can be kept, but the east and west theaters of the Battle Scar Canyon will return to the previous situation again.

Ji Xinghe, who finally repaired the seventh mountain-slashing mecha, finally opened his mouth after taking a short break.

"Call over a hundred Zhanshan, and everyone from the Independent Regiment,"

There are more than one hundred people from the independent regiment staying at the No. 5 base, but Ji Xinghe only let a hundred Zhanshan come over, which is enough to show that Ji Xinghe has been able to accept the sacrifice of someone from the independent regiment.

A flash of relief flashed across Chen Xun's eyes and at the same time ~www.mtlnovel.com~ frowned again. It's a pity that his facial nerves are damaged, and this expression can't be seen at all. Only he himself knows that he is frowning.

"Han Li is indeed very strong, but he is not you, even if he is given a hundred Zhanshan, he can still choose a mecha fighter from No. 5 base to temporarily drive Zhanshan, and he cannot bring out another independent group. "

Ji Xinghe said calmly: "I will bring it myself."

"That individual starship?" The frowning Chen Xun was still expressionless, which made his tone seem a bit weird: "Yes, you can use that individual starship to go back and forth, but what if two lines fight at the same time? Old Ji, you can't have your cake and eat it too."

"I've said it before." Ji Xinghe began to repair the mecha again, he said: "Believe in science."

To believe in science?

How dare you say this, you are the most unscientific person in the world.

Chen Xun asked: "Speak directly."

Ji Xinghe, who was repairing the mech with his back facing Chen Xun, spoke calmly.

"Remote sensing driving technology, Xingyue."

Chen Xun's eyes widened, and before he had time to refute how unreliable this technology was, he heard Ji Xinghe's reminder: "Don't tell anyone, it might not work."
