The explosion at Stronghold No. 8 sparked countless onlookers.

South Wharton didn't say much, anyway, the video footage or anything was not allowed to be seen, and the officers and soldiers in the forward base could only see the skyrocketing fire and thunderstorm-like electric field over there, but most of them did not know what was going on there.

North Wharton didn't care so much, the Legion Operations Staff immediately sent a close-up and a long-range angle of the explosion video to the tactical helmets of all officers and soldiers in the forward base, and ordered all officers and soldiers to observe in the name of the combat mission of the military headquarters!

As for whether the overly bloody scene inside would cause discomfort to the officers and soldiers, the General Staff directly ignored this issue, compared to the fact that it could greatly boost morale, this problem was nothing, and after contacting Li Yi and obtaining his consent, the General Staff took down the incident, claiming that this was a premeditated and well-planned explosion by the Staff of the 23rd Army Corps!

In layman's terms, it's like an old time terrorist claiming responsibility for a terrorist incident.

The matter was taken to the military department, and of course Li Yi didn't mind at all.

If the so-called gun shot the first bird, the military department is to make a name for himself and boost morale, and to bear the consequences, if he stands up and claims to be responsible for this matter, it will be only known to the North Wharton side, if the South Wharton side knows, maybe they will take some retaliatory measures against him personally, this kind of false name is not to be used, anyway, the military merits that should be rewarded will be given.

The military merits were counted and distributed to Li Yi at the first time.

Since people were not at the scene, it was impossible to count every combat unit in this kind of large-scale explosion, nor could it be possible to figure out how many high-class civilians and even nobles were among the soldiers who were killed, so the military followed the calculation method of large-scale battles, that is, to increase the military merit of exterminating a certain level of troops by 20%.

The soldiers of the two regiments, calculated according to 3,000 people, each head has 500 military merits, a total of 1.5 million, an increase of 20%, that is, 1.8 million, plus an additional 100% military merit bonus of aristocratic status, just from these ordinary cannon fodder soldiers, Li Yi has obtained 3.6 million military merits!

In fact, this value may be doubled again after the war, because Li Yi's identity is likely to be a high-class marquis, and if this title is confirmed, he will receive 7.2 million military merits!

The real big head is 41 mecha and the mecha soldiers inside, even if these mecha are all ordinary mecha soldiers, the basic military merit has reached 5 million, if you count various bonuses, count the aristocratic bonus, plus more than 100 armored military merits, it has exceeded 40 million!

Then, completely destroy the enemy's key facility targets such as Stronghold 8, and you can get an additional 1 million military merit rewards!

Then, there were special awards for military services at all levels, such as the Supreme Joint Adjurry Committee of the North Wharton, the North Wharton Army General Headquarters, the 9th Military Region, the 71st Army, the 23rd Army Corps, and even the 3rd Regiment Headquarters of the 8th and 8th Divisions!

Because Li Yi has come out of the base until now, he has pulled out 4 strongholds in South Wharton with the strength of one person, and has slaughtered 6 infantry regiments, 3 mecha battalions, an armored regiment and a flying squad in South Wharton, not counting 10 days ago he used fighters to slaughter half of the Marine Aviation Brigade, a mecha regiment, an infantry regiment, and half an armored division!

Li Yi himself couldn't figure out how many people he had killed and how many enemy combat units he had destroyed, and the military could only make a rough estimate, and could only count them at least by battalions.

With so many combat units, it would take half a day just to count, let alone kill!

Li Yi's results can be described as the most brilliant record ever achieved by a single soldier, such a killing god, unless the high-level bosses of North Wharton are blind and deaf, how can they say it, not to mention the grapevine that this person is likely to be a high-class marquis!

Few people will do something to send charcoal in the snow, but no one will object to this kind of icing on the cake!

As a result, the North Wharton Supreme Joint Adjudication Committee alone issued a military merit award of 100 million yuan to Li Yi in the name of the country's supreme command, and also awarded a "Wharton Star Hero Medal" that represents the country's highest military personal honor, but this thing will not be officially issued until a ceremony after the war, and the news is only released at present.

In addition, the military departments at all levels of North Wharton have more or less rewarded a lot of additional military merits, adding up to more than 50 million military merits, and these additional military merits have been transferred to Li Yi before the battle is over.

At this time, Li Yi didn't have time to confirm these exploits, he was still fighting, still playing the role of a ghost in the thick fog.

The big explosion at Stronghold No. 8 was originally planned by Li Yi, so he was not surprised at all when the explosion occurred, and took this opportunity to kill two more groups when the enemy mecha soldiers were stunned.

At the same time, the chain of command on the South Walton side began to fall into disarray.

The commander of the mecha division, Ebel, immediately ordered all the remaining mechs of the 1st regiment to withdraw to the forward base at the moment when the No. 8 stronghold exploded.

At present, the mecha battalion in the No. 27 stronghold has been pinned down by the mecha regiment in North Wharton, and may even be wiped out at any time, and the combat troops in the No. 8 stronghold have been killed again, and the 1st regiment that attacked the No. 9 stronghold is now stuck in the quagmire and cannot extricate itself.

Not to mention the latest news, the No. 26 stronghold north of Stronghold 9 has also been captured by North Wharton!

Therefore, Abel had the idea of avoiding its edge and withdrawing the 1st Regiment before making a plan.

However, the corps staff department, which had previously been revoked by the group army, could not bear the loneliness, and saw that under the command of Abel, both the infantry and the mecha had suffered heavy losses, and secretly gloated while issuing a series of combat orders.

These orders can be summed up in one sentence - the whole army has begun to mobilize, and it is necessary to fight the North Wharton side!

Of course, since the 1st Mecha Division was a special existence, the corps staff did not dare to give orders to Abel and did not interfere with any of his orders, but only bypassed the command authority of the other side, and ordered other infantry, aviation, and armored units on standby to participate in the battle, and the combat mission was to recapture the three rear strongholds of 8, 9, and 10 from North Wharton!

So there was a strange scene on the battlefield.

The mechs of South Wharton began to withdraw from the front line one after another, but a large number of soldiers and armor poured out of the forward base in the rear, and a large number of fighters began to rise into the air one after another.

In response to this chaotic scene, Abel was, of course, to personally run to the corps headquarters in a rage to ask for an explanation, demanding that the whole army immediately stop its operations.

The attitude of a group of high-ranking people in the corps headquarters was polite, not to offend Ebel, and they never let go of their mouths with haha, and there were three meanings in and out of their words.

- Our command headquarters accidentally lost more than 20 mechas, and the command was revoked by the superiors, but you have already lost more than 100 mechas, and now you haven't even made a wave, so you are embarrassed to ask us for an explanation? Not to mention that several infantry regiments and armored regiments that we have cooperated with you in the battle have also been compensated by you, and we haven't asked you for an explanation, are you embarrassed that the wicked will sue first?

——At present, the battle has been upgraded to a corps-level campaign, the combat target is the enemy's entire 23rd Legion, not the mecha, and the upper side has only revoked our command to deal with that mecha, and the authority to command the legion battle is still in our hands, according to the current battlefield situation, we believe that it is necessary to conduct a legion-scale operation, and you have no right to interfere in this matter!

- Now let's fight our own battles, we fight battles, you continue to fight that mecha, if you need our help in difficulty, we will absolutely cooperate 100%, but when our troops fight, we also hope that you can send some mecha to cooperate, of course, if you don't agree, forget it, after all, your mecha division has suffered heavy losses......

Abel originally came to find an explanation, but he was beaten back by a Tai Chi, and in turn asked him to cooperate, and there was obviously a thorn in his words and a hidden sarcasm, so angry that Abel was angry but helpless.

The legion headquarters dared to offend Abel like this, for no other reason, this count will immediately go to ask other legions to be the commander of the legion, since he is about to leave here, the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, what face do you need to give?

What's more, the commander of the 19th Legion is also an earl, and he is also a member of the South Wharton family, so he doesn't need to look at the other party's face at all.

Feeling humiliated, Able was so angry that he immediately put aside his burden and gave an order to retreat directly through the tactical watch in front of all the high-level leaders of the legion in front of all its mecha troops!

As soon as this order was given, all the commanders and staff officers present were dumbfounded, this kind of legion-level battle would be difficult to fight without the mecha troops acting as the spearheads!

Even when Abel was questioned, he was considered derelict in his duties.

Abel put into practice what the other party had just learned: first, our mecha troops have suffered heavy losses, which you have all admitted, so it is necessary for the forward troops to go back to rest; Second, this is a tactic of retreating into advance, and for the sake of secrecy, I will not tell you the next step; In the end, my duty is to take down that mech, you have no right to interfere with my battle plan, as you said, let's fight each other!

Well, this is to treat others in the way of others, the legion commanders can only be speechless, things have reached this point, then they have to fight their own ones!

While this farce was happening at the South Wharton Command, the North Wharton side was united in its efforts.

In the past, there were no similar contradictions between the legion headquarters and the mecha troops on the North Wharton side, but this time with the existence of Li Yi, the core boss, everyone is now trying to get together and sell well, and all the contradictions do not exist at this moment!

Surge?

No problem! One regiment is not enough, give you three!

Not enough? A division pulls up!

Ammunition?

No problem, all reimbursement!

Mecha troops?

Cooperate! Absolutely unconditionally and fully cooperated!

Especially after watching the video of the explosion at Stronghold No. 8, the morale of the whole army was extremely high, and the soldiers shouted that they wanted to enter the South Wharton forward base!

It seems unrealistic to break into someone's forward base, but it is still no problem to knock out all the strongholds in South Walton with a tactical counteroffensive, and all the commanders of the legion have basically reached a consensus on this, which can be regarded as recovering the field of the previous two days.

This ambition of the military department also informed Li Yi for the first time, saying that it was to inform, but in fact he wanted to see the attitude of this adult, if he didn't want to fight, then the scale of the battle would be much smaller, and if he still wanted to kill, then the whole army would go crazy with him!

Is Li Yi crazy?

Of course not, he was still extremely calm at the moment, still looking for a hunting target in the thick fog, but after a few turns, he suddenly found that the enemy's mecha seemed to have withdrawn!

At this time, the smoke in this large area has begun to gradually dissipate, although the visibility is still very low, but you can already see a vague scene 20 meters away, Li Yi reluctantly went south 1, 200 meters deeper, and finally determined that the enemy mecha ran not a single left.

Immediately, Gablell, who was at the corps headquarters, also sent a message that the mecha units of the enemy's various strongholds were gradually withdrawing, but the infantry and armored units of South Walton were assembling at the forward base, and a large number of enemy fighters were also rising into the air one after another, and the energy fighters that had been lifted into the air were circling and accelerating over the enemy's advance base.

The General Staff judged that the enemy was likely to make a big move, and warned Li Yi to be careful, especially to be careful of the enemy's artillery covering strikes!

The warning came in time, but it didn't make much sense, and as soon as the two of them finished communicating, the artillery cover strike at South Walton had already begun!

The campaign-level artillery coverage strikes carried out by regular armored artillery units are far from being comparable to a small mortar position like Gehry's!

At this moment, I saw that behind the giant cliff in the south, countless black dots broke through the sky and rose into the sky, and then the black pressure was scattered over one by one, and the terrible whistling sound resounded throughout the sky from far and near, and the momentum was extremely amazing!

Such a spectacular scene, the North Wharton officers and soldiers in the No. 9 stronghold all had no intention of appreciating it, and they all hugged their heads and ran around, each looking for a safe place to hide, the energy shield barrier can only defend against pure energy-type weapons, but they can't do anything against all kinds of physical grenades or hybrid plasma bombs, once the shells land, it is definitely the result of people turning over on their backs!

However, Gehry's mortar position had been prepared for this, and the soldiers took out a special mortar shell from a certain type of ammunition box that had been opened behind them, and then fired it into the sky with mortars or bazookas!

After these shells were fired at an altitude of more than 100 meters, they exploded one after another, and after the explosion, there were no fireworks, but unfolded into a large net with high-voltage current that was still rising!

The scientific name of this thing is called high-voltage air defense power grid, specially used to intercept artillery strikes, its warhead can be installed on various launchers, and even individual grenades can be launched, and the power grid will automatically disperse after reaching a certain height after being launched, and there is a core structure in the center, which can maintain the power supply of the grid while being suspended in the air for a period of time without landing.

Once the shell hits these power grids, whether it is a grenade or a plasma bomb, it will be broken by its high-voltage current and explode in the air, so that the shell cannot land, and naturally it will not be able to hit the ground target.

A net can theoretically only intercept one shell, and this thing seems to have a simple structure, and there is no high-tech technology, but the price is not cheap, 125 points of military merit, so under normal circumstances, few troops will use it, after all, the number of shots is less than it can bear the coverage of so many shells, and the number of shots cannot bear the cost of consumption.

But it doesn't matter, the adults promised to reimburse the expenses, as early as the beginning of the mortar position, Gehry thought of the possibility of being covered by the enemy's artillery, so he deliberately asked each mortar group to prepare two bases of this kind of shells, and the military merit cost was only 400,000......

Yes, now even Gehry is starting to get rich, and he feels that he has to add a "just" to the expense of less than a million military merits.

I have to say that the 400,000 military merits are worth it!

When the shells roared, the entire position was densely packed with power grids, and the soldiers below were still throwing up, and the shells exploded one after another when they smashed on the power grid, and a strange fire cloud was formed at a height of 200 meters above the position!

A few shells that were not intercepted through the fire cloud were wrapped in the power grid that continued to catapult up below, and countless shrapnel that exploded in mid-air rained down, and the kinetic energy had been greatly reduced, causing some minor injuries at most when hitting the soldiers' tactical uniforms, and only being bounced off when hitting the sturdy tactical helmets.

As for the dripping plasma, the current energy that fell from a height of 200 meters was basically consumed, and the energy shield of the tactical five-piece set alone was enough to resist when it fell on people, and as a result, more than 400 soldiers on the position were almost unscathed under the cover of enemy artillery fire!

However, outside the position is not so safe and worry-free, except for the overhead layer of the stronghold tower, the rest of the stronghold is covered by dense artillery fire, although some troops have played out the air defense grid, but the number is very limited, it is difficult to form a defense system, and countless people were killed and injured for a time.

The artillery coverage attack on the South Wharton side was not only aimed at such a large stronghold, at this moment a whole armored artillery division launched an artillery bombardment on the two strongholds of No. 9 and No. 10 respectively, especially the No. 9 stronghold!

The artillery coverage is from the forward base to the No. 26 stronghold north of the No. 9 stronghold, with a width of more than 1,000 meters and a depth of more than 3,000 meters.

This method of coverage is extremely sinister, and the purpose is to prevent the North Wharton side from retreating and escaping, especially to block Li Yi, who is between the No. 9 stronghold and the forward base.

Although the artillery fire did not cover him at the first time, the artillery coverage swept from north to south made it difficult for him to evacuate to the north, and the east-west coverage was very long, and it was impossible to leave from these two directions, so the direction left for him was only due south.

But obviously, the south side is the advance base, and it is faster to run and die there, and at this time, countless soldiers and armor are pouring out of the South Wharton advance base, no matter how good Li Yi is, it is impossible to survive under the fire of so many people.

Land mechs can fly at low altitudes, and ordinary howitzers can't do anything with mechas, so South Wharton chooses to cover the artillery from far and near, so that even if the mecha flies up to dodge, it will inevitably suffer from more than a dozen or even dozens of shells, and the second batch of shells is also mixed with expensive plasma shells!

This kind of large-caliber artillery shells fired by regular artillery units, whether it is a grenade or a plasma bomb, the power is by no means comparable to that kind of mortar shell, a shell can make a radius of dozens of meters become a death zone, and the battle-level artillery fire covers even the mecha troops can only avoid its edge, if it encounters a plasma bomb, it is impossible to avoid it completely undamaged!

I have to say that once the war rises to the level of a large-scale battle at the corps level, the strength of one person is insignificant, a knowledgeable demon and killing god can single-handedly take on a stronghold, can fight hundreds of mechas, can use money to smash several regiments of combat units, and even the artillery fire of an artillery regiment can't help him, but in the face of the anger of an entire legion, the wisest choice is to flee!

So Li Yi escaped, and as soon as South Wharton launched the artillery bombardment, he drove the mecha to the No. 9 stronghold in the north at high speed, but when there were still 2 or 300 meters away from the No. 9 stronghold, the artillery fire had already swept over the No. 9 stronghold and ploughed from the north layer by layer!

At this moment, the raging air waves kicked up the dust in the sky, the smoke and dust were mixed with splashing plasma, and the ground was like an erupting volcano, flowing with a large amount of fluorescent plasma!

Under the interaction of these plasma, countless electric snakes were created that roamed indiscriminately, and the electric snakes encountered a crackling electric light, the sound of cannonballs whistling, explosives exploding, lightning and thunder, and air humming exploded at the same time at this moment, the sky was thunderstorming, the earth was trembling, and the scene like the end of the world really happened in front of Li Yi's eyes!

In the face of this situation, if you want to escape, you must fight for guts, courage and technology!

When it was less than 20 meters away from the artillery fire line, the rushing mecha bent its knees on one leg, stepped on its feet suddenly, and jumped into the air in the face of the fireworks in the sky, while its body spun in mid-air, so that the mecha was facing the direction of the cannonballs in the sky!

At the same time, the energy machine guns on both shoulders, arms, and legs were all turned on, and they strafed those shells that were coming at a rapid pace, although they seemed to be strafing, but they were still targeted, not only accurately detonating the incoming shells, but also selectively targeting those plasma shells that were obviously slower than the shooting speed!

At this time, Li Yi was very sober-minded, and the damage caused by the physical grenades that produced the explosion to the mecha was extremely limited, and the real threat to the mecha was those plasma bombs, and if they were hit by 2 or 3 plasma bombs, they would basically be reimbursed.

At this time, not only the energy machine gun was full of firepower, but the grenade gun in the mecha's hand had already been thrown away, replaced by two energy guns with extremely fast firing speed that could effectively improve the hit rate.

As for those grenades, Li Yi chose to ignore them, let the shells fall on him, and then accelerated back in mid-air with the power of the shock!

The so-called artillery line is not just a line, but several layers, and every inch of land has to be ploughed at least several times in turn, and several rounds of shells are also encountered in the air!

Between the lightning and flint, after the first batch of plasma bombs were lit by Li Yi in the air, the second batch of shells followed, and after being ignited by it again, the third batch came up again!

This is also Li Yi's ability, if an ordinary mecha, even a mecha piloted by an earl division commander, come, let them accurately detonate a slower rocket or something, but in mid-air to hit a very fast cannonball, this is probably only possible by practicing shooting skills to the fullest and knowing the quotient to the level of evil!

But at this moment, even if Li Yi's brain control speed is fast, he feels a little unbearable, the continuous cannonballs can't be lit at all, although the mecha has been accelerating into the air, but at this moment it still has not departed from the shell projectile route, and a plasma bomb finally passed through the layers of blocking fire, and it looks like it is about to smash on the chest of the mecha!

Li Yi didn't have time to detonate it, and even if it exploded, it was meaningless, and the plasma bomb could still be sprayed onto the mecha by inertia after exploding!

In a hurry, Li Yi only had time to cross his left arm across his chest to protect the important parts, and the plasma bomb exploded with a "bang", and a large amount of plasma sprayed out, melting the left arm of the mecha in an instant!

However, because the arm blocked most of the plasma, the energy shield of the mecha was only neutralized by the splashed plasma by a little more than one-fifth, and after the sputtering was dispersed, it only caused some damage to the metal armor on the front of the mecha, but did not damage the circuit components buried behind the armor.

But in any case, the loss of an arm capable of accurate point shooting is equivalent to the loss of at least one-third of the combat effectiveness and self-protection ability, when the fourth batch of shells hit, Li Yi has already realized that this round of defense is not just missing a plasma bomb!

What to do?

At the critical moment, Li Yi almost reflexively shot out all the eight rockets on his shoulder, and almost at the same time, he raised his gun in his right hand and detonated two of them, and then the explosion of these two rockets instantly detonated the other six rockets, forming a huge self-detonating fireball more than 10 meters in front of the mecha!

All the shells that drilled into this fireball were detonated instantly, and then a batch of shells came in quick succession!

Li Yi, who had gained a brief respite, continued to control the energy machine gun to concentrate fire and strafe, put back the energy gun with his right hand, pulled out the mecha battle knife behind his back, and unfolded it as fast as he could!

At this time, another batch of shells struck, and successfully penetrated the fireball blockade line in front, but as soon as it entered the 10-meter range of the mecha, it was exploded by energy machine gun rays and pieces of knife light!

Of course, for this reason, the front end of the war knife was also melted by the explosive plasma, and a quarter of the physical structure was melted, and the original 5-meter-long black long knife was now less than 4 meters long, and then, under the continuous swinging and blocking, the long knife was shortening at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, until it was shortened to a burning stick of less than two meters, and then it was thrown away by Li Yi casually and replaced with an energy gun.

At this time, the shells are still being thrown, although the density is obviously not as good as before, but Li Yi's side can be said to be a little poor in donkey skills, not only the rockets are gone, the combat knives are gone, the left arm is gone, and even the energy machine guns that are constantly gathering fire have also issued an energy run out alarm, and in another 1 or 2 seconds, these energy machine guns will also be dumb fire!

In this state, even if the number of shells attacked is much smaller, once the energy machine gun is dumb fired, it is impossible to block all the plasma shells with just one energy gun in the right hand!

In fact, when the energy machine gun could no longer shoot continuously, seven or eight plasma bombs happened to smash towards Li Yi in unison as if they had eyes!

He took the energy gun and exploded three of them, and after using up the energy machine gun that had just recovered for half a second, he almost exploded again, and he couldn't stop the remaining three or four plasma bombs anyway!

Just when the plasma bomb was about to smash into the mecha, Li Yi did not hesitate to pop out the mecha egg, and directly used the mecha as a shield, as for the ruling behind the mecha, he could only give it up!

The verdict worth 5 million military merits was thrown away, and the only regret is that this ruling is a relic of Wood, which has a special significance, but there is no way, it is important to escape at this time, he believes that in order to avenge Wood, he went out of the mountain to slaughter so many people, and Wood's nine springs are enough to look at it!

The mecha is the king of land warfare and rarely flies, so the "egg" of the mecha has no flight function, Li Yi jumped the egg directly in the air, although it was thrown backwards with the help of catapult force, but after all, it was still a free fall.

This free-fall body has enough shockproof performance to avoid falling to death after landing, but the more the height drops at this moment, the closer it is to the dense parabolic trajectory of the cannonball, and once it lands, even if it is not killed by the cannonball, it will be electrocuted by the strong electric field on the ground, so the danger still exists, and it is even more dangerous!

After popping out of the escape pod, Li Yi opened the hatch as soon as possible, and when the escape pod popped out for a distance and began to fall, the person suddenly rushed out of the escape pod, and at the same time turned on the maglev propulsion function of the tactical boots, and continued to raise the flight altitude while flying quickly in the direction of the No. 9 stronghold!

In short, after Li Yi gave up a mecha arm, ran out of mecha ammunition and energy, cut off the mecha combat knife, and threw away the mecha and a ruling, and now he threw away the mecha egg, at this moment he can be called running naked.

At this time, if you maintain the flight altitude and speed, you will basically not encounter shells, and even if there are, they will only be sporadically crooked shells passing nearby, unless your character is particularly poor, otherwise your own "mosquito" will not be hit.

And after the last "Die Once" Rock suit was completely destroyed, the first thing Li Yi did was to buy a new "Life" suit.

As the name suggests, this set is the top-of-the-line set used to save lives, and its most powerful feature is that it has energy output and recharge power that exceeds the energy output and recharge power of several orders of magnitude beyond the ordinary five-piece set.

With this energy core, the protection of the five-piece energy shield has been greatly improved, and the duration of the magnetic levitation propulsion with the tactical boots has also been increased a lot, allowing Li Yi to maintain at least 10 minutes of air time or 5 minutes of flight time.

Not to mention 5 minutes, 10 seconds later, Li Yi had already flown over the No. 9 stronghold, out of the range of artillery, and landed safely in Gehry's mortar position unscathed.

After landing, Li Yi said to Gary and the others in the company: "Everyone did a good job before, and I will transfer 10 million military merits to you, you don't need to save me, you can continue to smash it for me if you have the opportunity!" ”

After dropping these words, Li Yi hurriedly ran towards the direction of the teleporter, and after a while, a strangely shaped fighter plane that had been hated by South Walton 10 days earlier took off from the tarmac of the forward base......
