Chapter 3 Maps

On a planet in the middle of the Eastern and Western Empires.

1 a.m. planetary time. Studies have shown that between 1 and 3 a.m. is the time when resting people sleep most soundly and those who stay up late are the most tired.

In the desert, 5 kilometers away from the camp of the Western Empire's ground-reinforced mecha division, it was quiet and silent. At a depth of about 50 meters under the desert, low-frequency sound waves that have been encrypted* are silently decrypted, converted, encrypted and then transmitted.

"Report, the first company of the ground mecha division should have 200 people, but it actually reached 200 people, and no one was absent. Report complete. ”

"Report that the second company of the ground mecha division should have 180 people, but it actually reached 180 people, and no one was absent. Report complete. ”

"Report, the third company of the ground mecha division should have 220 people, but it actually reached 220 people, and no one was absent. Report complete. ”

"Report, the fourth company of the ground mecha division should have 115 people, but it actually reached 115 people, and no one was absent. Report complete. ”

"Report, the fifth company of the ground mecha division should have 185 people, but it actually reached 185 people, and no one was absent. Report complete. ”

Li Dong probed the probe, shrank his head, looked around, carefully poked a mecha beside him with a mecha, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, brother, I am Li Dong from the third reconnaissance group, number 89751." Now, should I say that the three groups of reconnaissance should have reached 1 person, but there was 1 person? Can you not say it, I feel so embarrassed!"

The mecha operator next to him covered his face helplessly, speechless, if you don't quickly change the call mode from PTW (persontoworld, individual to whole mode) to PTP (persontoperson, personal to individual mode), I will feel very embarrassed to talk to you directly, I seem to hear the wheezing sound of 899 people holding back laughter in the PTW channel. After kindly sending a LAN text message to remind him, rookie Li Dong finally switched the call mode to PTP.

He scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ugly." I've always been used to the whole mode when I was investigating. By the way, brother, I don't know what you call it?"

"My name is Xu Gong, the commander of this mecha battalion, and I am also the commander-in-chief of the mecha group in this raid. XCMG replied with a smile.

When Li Dong heard this, he said excitedly: "It turns out that you are the commander-in-chief, and you have finally found the organization." Hello sir! I am a staff officer sent by the division commander. ”

Xu Gong grinned unkindly this time and laughed softly. Don't you know, the clerk who was sent to the front line to be a scout for drawing cartoons at a meeting was already famous enough, but after half a year of war, he miraculously survived among the scouts with a very high mortality rate. And there is a tendency to get better and better, this time not only successfully obtained the enemy information, but also put forward the main plan of this raid, and was sent to the mecha battalion to be a wartime staff officer, as long as he can survive this time, it is estimated that he can become a living legend in the 17th Division.

"You laugh at me!" Li Dong said pitifully, "Battalion commander, I thought you were a kind person. ”

XCMG's dark face flushed, he thought to himself

Li Dong was originally joking, but Xu Gong really apologized for a laugh, but he was embarrassed. Don't take such a bully of honest people. You must know that in the army, the official level suppresses people, he is a dignified battalion commander, and he is a corporal, not to mention the good-natured ridicule, even if he is pulled to a small corner and beats Li Dong, there is nothing he can do. It seems that Gail is really a kind person.

What he thought in his heart was one thing, but what Li Dong said was another: "Battalion commander, it's not enough to apologize, you should also show some sincerity." ”

"What sincerity?"

"Or, when the raid comes later, put me at the rear. Oh, no? The third echelon will do the same. Well, it's still not good? The second echelon is always okay, how can I say that I am also a civilian official, don't be too reluctant to charge into battle. What is still not good? Are you mistaken!" After bargaining for a long time, Li Dong saw that Gail on the display screen had been shaking his head, and his heart was lifted step by step, almost overturning his previous impression of Gail, and he scolded out.

Gail shook his head and sighed, "Considering your safety, I asked the above before and wanted to put you in the raid echelon behind. But ......"

Li Dong's eyes widened, and his ears stood up high. There are ups and downs in life, and the most important thing is this "but". But the previous one, that was all, only the one after that was the point.

"However, the division commander directly ordered me to stay wherever I was asked, and you will stay there. Gail saw that Li Dongwang's eyes were about to burst the electronic screen, so he had to ignore his watery mung bean eyes, held back the sky, and said to himself in a very soft voice, "I am the commander of the mecha battalion, the commander of the raid mecha, my position is in the first echelon, and I naturally have to take the lead in the fight, and rush to the front to fight." ”

Li Dong listened and completely collapsed in the driver's seat. You can also follow the example of those big nobles who joined the army, and stay away!

"Your combat mech has been brought, and in the back, you can familiarize yourself with the operation, which is basically the same as the reconnaissance mech, very simple!" Gail said in a reassuring tone.

"You can quietly put me in the back and ......" Li Dong made a final effort, although even he didn't think it was possible.

At this time, the approachable Gale showed the prestige of a soldier, and interrupted with a straight face: "In the army, discipline comes first, and the orders of the superior must be carried out completely. Since I have the order of the division commander, I must not put you in the back of the queue without authorization, I think, he must have his considerations. ”

After speaking, he said with relief: "When charging, you try to stand behind me as much as possible." I will do my best to protect you. ”

Li Dong is really tearful now, a good person. He silently walked to his first combat mech, decided to adapt to its performance and operation as soon as possible, and cursed Zheng Kai, the commander of the 17th Division, for the first five hundred years and the next five hundred years, as long as he was related to his relatives.

Li Dong looked back at his reconnaissance mecha, and like its user, he lewdly hunched his back and shoulders were standing there, and then looked at the heavy long-range firepower weapons loaded on the spare combat mecha not far away, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind.

......

The 3rd Ground Reinforcement Mecha Division of the Western Empire.

The lights in the command room were still on, and division commander Ross frowned and looked at the electronic map in his hand.

"Commander, it's not too early, you should rest early. The orderly on the side added hot water to the tea on the table and persuaded.

"Hey!" Rose sighed, rubbing his aching eyes, taking a sip of tea.

The orderly asked strangely, "Why is the division commander sighing?" "You must know that after charging today, they can drive to the battlefield at full speed, as long as they send the ammunition supply to the front line, they will complete the task and can return to the rear to rest for a long time."

"The radar and the reconnaissance troops sent out have already discovered that the troops of the Eastern Empire have also arrived on this planet, and there is enough strength of a division, and I think they are here to block our supply team. Rose's brow furrowed into the word "Chuan".

It turned out that this was the case, and the orderly soldier said disapprerovitously: "The division commander doesn't have to worry. Now that our defensive radar has begun to operate, and this time a squadron of royal mecha troops has been specially sent above, once the Eastern Empire launches an attack on us, with the command ability of the division commander, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and win easily. ”

"I hope so!" sighed Rose. As a soldier who has crawled through the line of life and death, Rose has a premonition of unknown crises that has saved his life countless times. And this time the premonition of not wanting to become extremely strong, he himself analyzed the information in his hand about the Eastern Empire troops who came to block this time, and found that his own side had the advantage, and he felt that the camp was properly arranged, but he could not erase the uneasiness in his heart.

And for an ordinary front-line ammunition supply and transportation, the royal family actually sent a squadron of royal mecha troops to respond. Those are the elite troops of the royal family, all of whom hold B-level or above mecha licenses, and some are even terrifying to the level of A-level mecha operation. This is a master-level level of machine warfare, and you must know that in the army, not 1 out of 10,000 people may reach this level. Usually, these royal mechs only appear on the battlefield during Armageddon, as a sharp knife to pierce the heart of the enemy. This time, he sent these great gods to deal with him, which made Ross faintly feel that this supply mission was not as simple as it seemed, and there must be some secrets hidden after that, as for what it was, it was not something that his level could know.

......

17 Division Command Room.

Zheng Kai drank tea, looked at the raid plan against the military map, held his forehead with his right hand, and gently tapped his head with his index finger from time to time.

Suddenly, the red button on the command table flashed. Zheng Kai waved off the affairs officers on the left and right and pressed the button. A three-dimensional half-length video image of a man appeared in front of him, only to see the man's long golden hair casually draped over his shoulders, sword eyebrows into the sideburns, eyes like cold stars, and a military uniform exuding a compelling heroic atmosphere, which was diluted by the smile at the corner of his mouth, which looked elegant and domineering.
