As the commander of the 3rd Mecha Regiment, Adrien had a nightmare day today.

At first, two mecha companies and 24 mecha were temporarily dispatched, but none of them came back, not only did the mecha not come back, but even the mecha soldiers with extremely high training costs did not come back, and that's it, and the viscount battalion commander of the third battalion was actually put in!

He also saw the video of the commander of the third battalion kneeling and begging for mercy and surrendering, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, if it was him at the time, he probably would have done it, the only problem was that if he surrendered, he would definitely turn off the video, communication and other functions first, so that there would be no evidence to criticize, and it would not make the entire South Wharton military headquarters lose face.

What made Adrien's heart hurt even more was that the only top-of-the-line railgun in South Wharton in the Third Battalion was also lost!

With this gun, you can buy two companies of mechas!

None of that is to be said.

Just now, the last mecha company of the third battalion was also reimbursed, and it was killed by the enemy's cannon fodder-like infantry with countless plasma mortars and rockets in seconds!

Since the commander of the 3rd Battalion has died, in this combat mission, Adrien personally led the only remaining mecha company of the 3rd Battalion to the No. 9 stronghold to carry out the combat mission, and the division headquarters also asked the 1st Regiment to send another mecha battalion to come over and act together!

As a result, not only was the last capital of the 3rd Battalion gone, but together with half of the mechs of the 1st Regiment and 3rd Battalion, a total of more than 40 mechas, were killed in an instant 800 meters away from the No. 9 stronghold!

Originally, before this operation, he vowed to slaughter all the enemies in Stronghold 9 in the most brutal way, so in the process of killing Stronghold 9, he did not order to knock down the energy shield barrier of Stronghold 9 first, because it was too time-consuming, and the effect was not necessarily good, so his order was to let all mecha rush directly into the stronghold and be crushed in close combat!

He believed, and firmly believed, that if he didn't wait for his mecha troops to storm the stronghold, the North Wharton soldiers inside would definitely break and flee in advance!

However, the enemy did not flee!

Not only did they not escape, but they also fought back, and even before the mecha rushed to the front of the stronghold, it actually lost dozens of its own mecha in seconds!

Spike! The King of Land Battles was killed in seconds!

This looks like a joke!

But Adrien saw with his own eyes that this was not a joke, but a fact of what happened!

He couldn't understand why the soldiers on the other side would throw plasma shells and anti-mecha rockets at any cost, it was so unreasonable!

Whether it is North Wharton or South Wharton, it is extremely difficult for ordinary cannon fodder soldiers to obtain a lot of military merits on the battlefield, and the military feats earned are not enough to upgrade their own weapons and equipment, not to mention daily expenses, and even have to be sent home to supplement their families!

Thousands of plasma mortar shells and anti-mecha rockets were smashed out at once, and millions of military merits were wanted!

Even if it is evenly distributed to each soldier, it will cost tens of thousands of military merits, but it will cost 500 military merits to explode a head, how many heads do you have to kill to get this back?

On the frontal battlefield of a large-scale battle, Adrien has not encountered such a concentrated fire tactic, but it is all done by the armored artillery unit, and the military department will reimburse it, as for the ordinary cannon fodder infantry, occasionally fire dozens or hundreds of rockets at close range, and consume the share of the free ration of the military department!

So in front of him, in addition to heartache, Adrien was more frightened!

It's not scientific at all!

In the past, even if it was an armored artillery unit, it was impossible to inflict such a strike effect on the mecha troops, whether the artillery units fired grenades or plasma bombs, the mechs could take off to dodge, and the two sides could not see each other from a long distance, and it was impossible to fire anti-mecha rockets at close range.

It can be said that the artillery unit has no way to take the mecha!

Therefore, when hundreds of anti-mecha rockets were fired from the opposite side, Adrien's expression was disdainful, he thought that it was just the rockets that the other party had used up the free quota, and the group of mecha soldiers who rushed to the front at that time didn't take it seriously, and they exploded those rockets in the air with three or two clicks!

Even if the other party then took advantage of the obstruction of the line of sight to shoot thousands of plasma shells, everyone was just surprised for half a second, and they still didn't take it seriously, and they turned on the mecha flight system one after another to get out of the strong electric field killing range created by the plasma shells.

It wasn't until the rockets came from the opposite side again, and there were thousands of anti-mecha rockets in a row, and the mecha in mid-air were all collectively stunned, at that time, it can be said that there is no place in front of the village and no store, and even if everyone has three heads and six arms, they will definitely not be able to block so many rockets!

Some people were lucky enough to resist for a while, and then they were smashed by several or even a dozen rockets, and they were smashed into pieces of metal in mid-air!

Some mecha fell back to the ground again after being unable to bear the reality after a few shots, but they were greeted by the plasma electric field that had not yet dissipated, and the energy created by these electric fields alone quickly neutralized the energy shield of the mecha, not to mention that countless energy rays and cluster ray cannons were also called in the opposite stronghold, so a batch of mecha exploded in the process!

At this time, although the mecha was reimbursed, the mecha soldier lying in the escape pod was still alive, but he didn't wait for the mecha soldier who ejected the escape pod to run back, and then the second batch of plasma shells landed, and as a result, all the escape pods were destroyed in an instant, and even if the mecha soldiers inside were not vaporized, they were beaten into a charred dry corpse by the strong current!

Dozens of mechs, known as the kings of land warfare, fell under countless plasma shells and rockets without even seeing the face of the enemy...... No, it should be said that it was purely stoned to death by money!

Is the enemy crazy?

Could it be that there is also an artillery regiment hidden in the No. 9 stronghold, and a concentrated fire is coming to cover it at close range?

Adrien immediately ruled out this possibility, the plasma shells and rockets fired from the opposite side knew at a glance that they were individual weapons, regular anti-materiel weapons of the infantry, and the armored artillery unit had to go to the No. 9 stronghold, which could not be directly transmitted, and had to make a detour to the No. 25 and No. 10 strongholds on foot to get here, and it would be discovered by its own patrol planes on the way, and the military headquarters would not sit idly by.

Could it be that those cannon fodder infantry have increased their consciousness and are willing to pay for a single anti-mecha concentrated fire strike?

In fact, it is not very difficult for more than 100 people in a company to gather 1 million or even 10 million military merits to buy equipment and ammunition, and everyone can still get it by tightening their belts.

But human nature is selfish, some people are unwilling to pay, this thing can't be done, there is a public advantage that is not taken advantage of that is a bastard, since there is a free quota, everyone is very poor, when throwing out so much money, most of them will not be able to recover the cost, naturally they would rather run away than scatter their belongings desperately.

Adrien believes that the only explanation is that the enemy military department has made a move, and it must have reimbursed the soldiers for the cost of weapons and ammunition!

So, the scale of the war has escalated!

Now it is no longer a feud between the mech of South Wharton and North Wharton, but a conflict between the two legions!

This is the only explanation, and it is also a plausible reason why Adrien can explain to his superiors, otherwise his future military career as the commander of the mecha regiment may end here.

After all, they lost almost a battalion of mechs and mecha soldiers without even taking a face, and the military department must hold Adrien accountable for his mistakes or even mistakes in command afterwards, if the war situation escalates as a reason, then the responsibility can be greatly reduced, no matter how awesome a battalion of mecha is, of course, it will not take advantage of the legions with huge military resources.

After thinking about the way, Adrien immediately reported to the military headquarters the explanation and reason for shirking responsibility, requesting that new mecha troops be reinforced, and also asked his own armored artillery to cover the No. 9 stronghold!

At the same time, after being caught fire by the enemy, only one of the four mecha companies attacking the No. 9 stronghold remained, and Adrian, who only had a dozen mecha left, had no courage to continue the charge, and directly ordered to retreat a few hundred meters.

That is to say, now a few hundred meters behind the mecha unit are the first few bases, which is almost no different from staying in the forward base, this attack has completely failed, and the tactical task assigned by the command has not been completed.

The division commander, Abel Ronald, knew the battle ahead as soon as possible, and also received a request for reinforcements from Adrien.

In a battle for a stronghold like this, Abel basically didn't care about anything as a division commander, whether it was a guerrilla fight or a small-scale battle for a stronghold, it was the commander of the mecha regiment below who exerted his subjective initiative, and he, the division commander, rarely had to point fingers.

If it weren't for the order issued by the group army headquarters this time for him to personally command, he might still be lying in the recuperation warehouse to absorb skills or make chips to make money.

As he watched the dozens of mechs attacking Stronghold 9 overwhelmed by countless plasma cannons or rockets, Abel had almost the same expression and mood as Adrien.

But the ass decides the thinking, and after Abel received Adrian's explanation and request, he immediately dismissed Adrien on the spot, and asked Jeff, the commander of the 1st Regiment, to lead the whole regiment to take over his combat mission!

Adrien does not understand politics, and his explanation is tantamount to shirking the tactical responsibility, believing that the responsibility is the superior strategic commander, and it is clear that the current commander is Abel, and if Adrien is not responsible, it is his Abel problem.

With his status as an ebel, of course, he can shoulder such a responsibility, but the question is, as a high-ranking earl, will he make people laugh at himself and slap himself in the face?

Therefore, Adrien was not only dismissed on the spot, but was also asked by Able to temporarily make a cameo appearance as a mecha creep on the grounds of "making up for his mistakes" and participating in the second attack with the 1st Regiment!

As for the request for fire support from armored artillery......

It's just a joke!

The dignified king of land warfare, dozens of mechs to fight a small stronghold, and it is also the closest stronghold to the forward base of his side, and he actually let the armored troops provide artillery support?

In the past, when fighting stronghold battles, a mecha with a dozen mecha could become the main force in battle, easily taking down an enemy stronghold, and even in most cases, three mechs and a combat team could capture the stronghold!

Nima, four mecha companies were defeated by you in the past, and three companies were defeated by you on the way, and you still dare to ask for artillery support?

In the eyes of Abel, in the eyes of the mecha troops, the armored troops are the kind of cabbage leaves that can be stepped on at will, and now ask for help, it is strange not to be laughed at, even if Adrien is shameless, he Abel can't afford to lose this person, and even if he takes the No. 9 stronghold at that time, whose credit is it?

Therefore, this request Abel rejected without even thinking about it, in his opinion, the enemy's individual anti-armor concentrated fire strike is not without weaknesses, as long as the group disperses and rushes over, the other party will not be able to block it at all!

Therefore, the failure of this battle was due to Adrien's improper command and too contempt for the enemy to give the opposite side the opportunity to gather fire, after all, the king of land warfare is the king of land warfare, how can some cannon fodder infantry contend with it?

However, what Abel did not expect at this moment was that Li Yi, who was about to fade out of the bird at the No. 8 stronghold, waited for a long time but did not see the enemy kill him, and he had already realized that the enemy would not launch an encirclement attack on him if he did not take the No. 9 stronghold.

For Li Yi, time is money, of course it is necessary to wait, since the enemy is not coming, then he will take the initiative to go out and seduce, so when Abel asked the 1st regiment to carry out a second attack on the 9th stronghold, he was leaving the 8th stronghold and leisurely marched in the direction of the 9th stronghold......
