Chapter 5 205 Heights
The Souss Empire, located in the easternmost part of the human interstellar plane, between the Chakna and Jeppen Empires. It is one of the main member states of the Western Covenant and one of the top 10 countries in human society.
The impression of the country can only be summed up in two words - belligerent!
This is a country that craves war, and this is a people with a history of endless wars. In the bones of every citizen of this kingdom is the blood of the belligerent.
Even in times of peace, the Seuss Empire was the most important military force in the disputes between the universe and the Western Covenant. Their ships and armies are frequently present in various conflict zones, charging in the name of the Western Covenant or the Supreme Council of Mankind. Their national defense budget has been higher than 35 percent of their GDP for 100 years. This astonishing statistic intuitively reflects the country's ferocious war strength.
If Gachalin is a tired cheetah that has been attacking everywhere for hundreds of years, and the actual national strength has been exhausted, then the Seuss Empire is a mad lion that is eager to fight, but is politically suppressed by the two superpowers and the Supreme United Council of Mankind, and geographically trapped in the eastern corner by Chuckner and Jeppen, recuperating and restless!
The fat man's body, as usual, began to tremble unobediently.
In the Battle of Miloc, he was nothing more than a deputy company commander and a staff officer. There are countless people up there. The Battle of Mozych also had the fleet of the Southeast Expeditionary Force led by Fisichella and the Feryan Panzer Division led by Douglas as a support. But nowβto be left alone with such a behemoth, the fat man felt like a pig stripped naked and ready to be sent to the gladiatorial arena to fight a heavily armed lion.
The two Souss armored regiments that appeared on the plains of Navarra were equipped with boxing mechs that were famous in the entire military world. This eight-generation mecha has been famous for a long time. Despite its unsightly appearance and clumsy appearance, the Seuss Empire's engine and energy cannon technology still make the King of Fighters a reliable medium-sized mech.
Heavy and ugly armor. A large-caliber energy cannon coupled with an almost wasteful engine. Seuss mecha likes to go extreme and practical, and it plays to the fullest in the boxing champion. Such a military mecha is not a private mecha that can resist at all, and the failure of the lore flow is not unjust at all, and in the cluster charge battle, it is a fighting master. If you can't get close, you can't talk about anything.
In this regard, the bandit army is clearly inferior. At present, the mecha in the industrial zone is stepping up the modification, and the total strength of one regiment is only one. Although the pilots are all selected high-level fighters, from civilian fighters to real mecha warriors, they need to be tempered with blood and fire.
And in terms of electronic countermeasures, these two armored regiments of Seuss have an absolute advantage. Two electronic mecha platoons, the intensity of electronic attacks is dozens of times that of bandits. Once a war starts, they will not only be able to completely shield the entire battlefield, but also cut off the communication command and intelligence transmission of the bandit army. It can also destroy the bandits' mecha computer assistance system, so that all the bandits' mechs can only respond to the battle in mechanical control mode.
What's even more of a headache for the fat man is. This time, two armored regiments came from the Souss Empire and delivered a large number of military weapons to the Northern Merchant Alliance. So, in the event of losses to their army, what will they bring with their ships next time?
"Have our mechs returned?" The fat man asked Markwich as he walked towards the supporting industrial area of the base.
"It's back!" Markvich said in a low voice: "Fifty mechas, escorted by the Sharp Knife Company throughout the whole process, no one saw them. β
"What about people?" The fat man asked.
"Brought it back, too." Markvich pulled out a document and handed it to the fat man: "Galaxy Mecha Company." A total of 330 people, including their boss and research department, all came with us, and there were quite a few of them. The machinery and equipment were also packed and shipped back and placed in the seventh workshop. β
The fat man nodded. These mechas were customized by him to a small mecha manufacturing company called Galaxy Mecha Company through the trading network long before the war. Choosing this company, the fat man put a lot of effort into it, except that the predicament of this company at that time was relatively easy to control. The company's technical strength and previous products also made him very excited.
On top of that, the final assembly plant of the Galaxy Mecha Company is located on the outskirts of the central city, which is less than thirty kilometers east of Puluo Town. It is the closest of all the mecha manufacturing enterprises to Puluo Town. This time, the bandit army went east to Puluo Town and threatened the west of the central city, in addition to receiving the four major schools such as Ming Xinliu, in order to bring back this batch of secretly ordered mechas, along with the entire Galaxy Mecha Company.
"How's the ship refit at Base 1?" The fat man browsed the list of Galaxy Mecha Company locations. Thoughts had jumped to the Salgar warships that were being refitted in the former Redbeard Pirate Base. If it is said. These fifty mechs of the Galaxy Mecha Company are the words of the wonder soldiers of this battle. Then, these warships of the Salga Longbow fleet are the next anti-encirclement and suppression ground guarantee.
"Three cruisers began to be disassembled." Markwich, as the de facto deputy of the fat man, has already been familiar with these situations, and immediately said: "In terms of battleships, the ship manufacturing department has just completed the reconstruction of drawings and started to carry out the modification design, however, according to the current feedback, there are many parts and components that need to be remanufactured to carry out battleship refitting, and the productivity of Base 1 is limited, and the cleanup of Base 2 must be completed before the battleship modification can be put on the work schedule." As for the aircraft carrier, the reconstruction of the drawings has not yet been completed, and there is no clue about the modification for the time being, so you need to go there in person. β
The fat man couldn't help but smile wryly, and one hand rubbed his hair into a mess.
Markvich silently followed the fat man's side, looking at the fat man's swaying back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that the current bandit army, like a newborn antelope, was swaying its body still wrapped in fetal membranes on the dangerous prairie, kicking its slender limbs, stumbling and trying to stand up. The jackals, tigers and leopards in the distance have begun to slowly approach, and if there is not enough time to complete the first standing of this life, then what awaits this antelope is death.
There is no escape. The Mutual Aid League of Genres has just come together. Confidence is needed. Civilian fighters also need to be transformed into local soldiers trained in strict accordance with the army's drill code. The newly housed Salga battleship will need more time to complete the modification to adapt to the free lane, so this battle must be fought and won.
However, no one knows what will happen after winning the war. This time Seuss came with two regiments. Next time, it may be two divisions!
The two men preoccupied themselves through the airport maintenance dock, through a roadside conveyor belt, around a grove of birch trees, and through the storage center. Walked into the supporting industrial area located in the southernmost corner of the airport.
It is said to be an industrial area, but in fact, it is a few large workshops set up by the original airport for the convenience of repairing vehicles and carrying mecha and ships. Because processing tasks at airports are not always full, these workshops also process some products for the outside. As the airport's reputation for expertise grew, more and more orders were received, and several processing workshops in the original area were expanded into small supporting industrial areas.
Zones 1 to 6 of the industrial zone are all under the umbrella of processing enterprises and technical departments brought by the major schools when they converge in the town of Puluo, and are located in the seventh and eighth corners of the eastern corner of the processing zone. The ninth district is the core industrial area that is heavily guarded by bandits.
The eleven labs brought back from Silicon Valley have completed research projects that are final fabrication or assembly in Zones 7 and 8. Ordinary members of the bandit army only know that these two districts are busy all day, and no one knows what is being produced in them.
The ninth arrondissement is the most mysterious of all the processing zones. The district was established just a few days ago, and there is no news about it except for the sight of dozens of flying vehicles carrying people and dozens of heavy trucks carrying huge containers entering the gates of District 9.
Outside the temporary isolation network set up in District 9. Ten battle-forming horizontal blade mechs patrol. The heavily armed bandit soldiers took three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and surrounded the ninth district.
Accompanied by Markavich, the fat man walked through the wide open-air storage area to the outside of the huge workshop. The exterior wall of the workshop, made of alloy skeleton and concrete, is blue, and the herringbone roof is at the highest point, 50 meters above the ground. There are a total of six workshops, each of which is more than 100 meters wide and more than 600 meters long. People stand outside the workshop. It's as small as an ant. When Markwich entered the secret, the tall and heavy factory gate slowly opened in front of the fat man, a deafening roar of the machine mixed with the sound of electric drills, mechanical telescoping, and welding came to the face. In the huge workshop, dozens of mechs. Row upon row on the assembly line. Hundreds of robotic arms come and go, flashing during welding. The electric spark is bright and dark.
The fat man walked up to the workbench at the entrance, and Markvich activated the semi-circular workbench, and after a soft sound, the robotic arm gliding along the surrounding track lifted the workbench and moved between the mechs on the two production lines to the depths of the workshop.
As soon as the workbench moved, the fat man, who was originally depressed, suddenly changed his face, and happily looked at the backward mechs on both sides of the workbench.
On the assembly line, two rows of mecha are neatly arranged -- a six-meter-eight-high fuselage, a cyan shell, a square diagonal external armor, six built-in missile launchers, two small-caliber energy cannons, and a 200-millimeter high-speed armor-piercing energy cannon
The mecha was designed by the fat man himself. Combining the key technologies in Logic, Divine Gift and Casper's work log, it adopts a dual-mounted four-circuit ion acceleration engine, a new high-carbon alloy in-line drive rod, a chromium-titanium alloy monolithically formed Warcraft basic structure, a sixteen-layer composite pressed filler and a back-mounted built-in Hummingbird thruster.
Galaxy Mecha Company, the completion of the mecha ground infrastructure and some parts, and some key components, are newly assembled. In addition to the fact that there is still a gap between it and the Divine Gift of the Feiyang Republic in terms of materials and auxiliary systems such as mecha computers and radars, in terms of the basic performance of the mecha, this mecha has surpassed the divine gift.
In particular, the engine design provided by Casper's work log and the use of Hummingbird thruster technology have allowed this mecha, in terms of speed, to reach an astonishing level.
None of this is special, but the special thing is that this mecha has a bloated and fat humanoid body and a face that looks exactly like a fat man.
If the bloated size of the mecha is specially designed by the fat man to install a dual engine and a built-in missile launcher. Then, that honest and chubby face is completely the evil taste of this slut.
The fat man happily stood on the moving workbench. Inspecting the rows of mecha that were installing energy cannons and energy shields, he said to Markwich proudly: "Look, how handsome, how chic, and temperamental these mechas, you say, call them handsome guys." Isn't that appropriate? β
On Markavich's cold and resolute face, the expression suddenly became very strange, he looked at the fat man seriously, thought for a long time, and his lips pursed. Finally, he couldn't speak, and bowed his head in confession. The Redbeard Pirate Base has been renamed the Bandit Army Base No. 1. The newly occupied Devil's Eye Base is named Bandit Army Base No. 2.
At this moment, in the dock of the No. 1 base, the modification of the ship is in full swing.
Fang Xiang sat lazily in the war room, flipped through the interstellar navigation map of the bandit army for a while. Beside her, the navigator of the Longbow fleet was constantly discussing the issue of the route with the navigator of the bandit army. Dozens of virtual interstellar maps are scattered around the war room. At a glance, it looks like dozens of small universes crawling with cobwebs.
The intricate route diagram, Fang Xiang has been looking at it for several days. Now, jump points, obstacle zones, gravitational reefs, meteorite belts, planets, stars for each route. Comets, nebulae, black holes, and transition passages were imprinted in her mind.
Fang Xiang's mind was no longer on these navigation maps. Amid the arguments of the navigators and staff officers beside her, she was silently distracted.
What she wanted was to integrate into the team herself.
The base was very clean. Very neat. When he first arrived here, Fang Xiang said that he didn't believe that this was a pirate base a few months ago.
What a pirate base looks like, just look at the base of the Demon Eye. The graffiti on the walls, the thick dust, the beggar's den-like dwelling pods, and the pungent stench are what a pirate base would look like!
But. In this base. Fang Xiang only saw the soldiers who trained hard every day, a clean environment and orderly order. All you see is a well-equipped dockyard, an experienced and efficient ship modification team, a mountain of looting materials, and the kind of energy that can affect everyone and make people happy!
If it weren't for the structural arrangement of the base, there were traces of pirates, Fang Xiang almost thought that this was a secret base of the Lelei military.
Now three cruisers, undergoing refit in the dockyard. The modification work, neither Fang Xiang himself nor the technical department of the Longbow Fleet could get involved. Except for the mechanics of the maintenance department, all the modification work is fully undertaken by the logistics department of the bandit army.
The Salgaians could only watch and watch their warships be disassembled into large and small parts, and then watch as these parts, in the hands of the bandit technicians, were reassembled and turned into split warships that had already taken shape.
With the exception of the three cruisers, the reconstruction of the battleship floor drawings has been completed, and the bandit logistics manufacturing department is designing and building them. Many of the people who ate and lived in the dockyard all day and worked selflessly were still childish cadets of the Le Lei Military Academy, but they did enough to make the oldest mechanics of the Longbow fleet dumbfounded.
It's an unknown corner of the lonely universe, but here, there is a vibrant group of people who came aboard a wounded destroyer and created the world.
The core of these people is really that obscene and philistine fat man?
Fang Xiang was very skeptical, very skeptical.
Now, the information about the Freeport of Mars has been transmitted back to the base. Two Seuss armored regiments, equipped with boxer eighth-generation mechas, cooperated with the overwhelmingly dominant Northern Business Alliance to launch an attack on Puluo Town. Whether it is on the ground or in the sky, the bandit army led by the fat man now can only be described as weak!
Fang Xiang originally thought that the fat man named Tian Xingjian would order the bandit fleet to reinforce it, although this would expose the whereabouts of the fleet, but if he wanted to survive under the enemy's superior forces, there was no way to do it. But who knows, the order from the fat man. Not only did the Salga battleships not need to be dispatched, but even the modified battleships of the First and Second Fleets of the bandit army were ordered to garrison the base and guard them closely.
Fang Xiang knew that the fat man's decision was correct. In the Free Passage. The fleet is everything. And at this time, it was a critical period for the refitting of the bandit fleet, and the pursued Salga battleship must not be exposed. As long as they survive this time, the bandit army will split the warship. You can walk around the Free Passage! However, she couldn't figure out how the fat man would survive this difficult moment.
Just those civilian mechs, those private mechs?
Fang Xiang was suddenly a little confused, she couldn't combine the person who gave such an order with the lewd fat man who was bargaining with her. As a commander, she understood what a heavy burden the fat man had on his shoulders at this time to give such an order. What courage it takes.
What kind of person is this collaborator? Can he win this battle?
Highlands 205 and 261 are part of the Pinchling Mountains at the end of the Navarra Plain.
Between the two highlands, there is a natural low valley, and the No. 2 Resource Highway passes through here, bypassing the main peak of Pingqiling. All the way north.
At this moment, the yellow land of the two highlands is dusty. The explosion turned up the gravel and sand in the sky, like an undulating tide, and the waves were higher and higher. In the deafening sound of cannonballs, red and white flashes flashed densely on the top of the mountain.
Zhang Fusheng curled up in the tunnel, body. It was already full of sand from the explosion. The earth trembled violently, causing the sand on his body to throb violently.
Zhang Fusheng tried his best to curl up his body into the bomb crater of the combined metal bulletproof wall, while spitting the sand in his mouth, he put his dirty face on the electronic observation glass, closed one eye, and watched the movement of the Suss armored regiment under the mountain.
The gray-brown boxing king mecha once again jumped out of their position in a triangular formation. The mecha at the front. The speed has been completely boosted. The engines roared like steel giants. Treading on the trembling ground, rush to the high ground. The bandit army's energy cannon light group exploded beside them, and the flying dust made their figures loom.
"All in place!" In my ears, the roar of the company commander Keynes was heard: "The enemy is coming!" Beat them back! β
"Boom!" Another earth-shattering explosion sounded beside Zhang Fusheng, and although he reacted quickly, the corner of Zhang Fusheng's right eyebrow was still broken by the edge of the observation glass. A few drops of blood fell to the ground, and the rest flowed through the dusty eyelashes, washing the face out of the black and red mud grooves.
"!" Zhang Fusheng didn't bother to wipe off the bloodstains, only blinked his eyes, and turned out of the bomb crater with the MANPAD launcher.
Zhang Fusheng was previously a member of the Black Flag Mercenaries, an armed group owned by Tailiu. Since Jeffrey and other traditional forces of Tailiu parted ways with Cooper, as the armed force in Geoffrey's hands, the Black Flag mercenary army, with a total of only 350 members, was reorganized into a regiment of the first fully mechanized infantry division of the bandit army.
Later, after watching the crazy battle of Puluo Town with one hundred and twenty mechs of the bandit army, everyone in the Black Flag mercenaries became the most staunch followers of the bandit army. They cooperated with the armored forces to maintain order in the town, carried out defenses, underwent rigorous combat training, discussed the fat man's 30-meter disappearing stealth and fighting skills, and wiped the silver bandit insignia on his collar every day.
With the gradual growth of the bandit army, the first division, which originally consisted of only seven or eight hundred people, became four full regiments. Mercenaries, escorts and other armed organizations under the command of major schools were all stuffed into this regiment. The Kentai, the Vibo, the Spari, the Chakner, and the Gnus are all professional soldiers or violent wanted criminals with special skills.
The fat man seemed to understand everyone's tastes very well, these people who had fought or knew how to fight were gathered together by him, using regular militarized management, coupled with extremely rich training subjects and tactical explanations, everyone, including Zhang Fusheng, felt that he had returned to the time when he was in the army.
Such days make these professional soldiers live very comfortably. Especially when they saw the energy cannon and portable missile launcher made by the bandit military factory, everyone thought. I'm the right person. Compared to these guys who don't look very good, and no one can name the model, those old-fashioned weapons are simply children's toys.
At present, the other two regiments of the 1st Division are still training at the base with one or two regiments that have just been formed by the 2nd Infantry Division. Succeeding Zhang Fusheng from their previous patrol mission. The 1st Regiment and 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division where Zhang Fusheng was located were ordered to garrison the Pingqiling defensive line.
In the past, when he met Suss's military combat mecha cluster, Zhang Fusheng had already run away, but now. He didn't have the slightest idea of backing down - Seuss's regular army, that's all it was, plus this time, they had launched their sixth charge to Heights 205, and they didn't take anything except to drop hundreds of mechs in front of the position! Can't cross the 205 heights, and the 261 heights behind the sides, they have no way!
This is war! Zhang Fusheng crawled through the explosion-proof armor covering the ground above the tunnel and climbed into his combat position. Holding the heavy MANPADS launcher, he felt at ease! It's just this thing in your hand. He's already destroyed the drive systems of two Seuss mechs - no matter what mech, leg drive, it's also a killer.
"Prepare for the No. 1, No. 6, No. 9 firing points. Hit it closer! Observers, inform the artillery battalion of fire suppression. Zhang Fusheng took off the communication headset that had been completely interfered with, and carefully distinguished the intermittent sound of the company commander Keynes through the loudspeaker and the same frequency sound wave transmitter amid the sound of artillery and explosions.
Zhang Fusheng set up the missile launcher, adjusted the locking device, and put a Seuss boxing mecha into the cursor on the launcher screen
Twenty seconds later, an overwhelming barrage of artillery fire swept across the heights. The Suss mecha cannon, the long-range artillery hidden behind the 205 heights, the missiles that flew out of the position, the high-speed energy cannon like a chain of light, the mecha mines, the fusion grenades and all kinds of weapons were raging wildly on the land. A deafening explosion resounded through the sky.
In the midst of an explosion, an armored unit. Jumped over the Pinchiling ridge, followed the col and went behind the positions of the 205 heights.
Zhang Fusheng, who was the first to see this armored unit, threw away the launcher that had no missiles, and laughed. He knew that his mission was done.
He thought as he crawled down the pit to the back. I don't know if the next time the mechs of the Seuss Empire are put into attack, they will find that they are being greeted. No longer after the infantry. What kind of expression will it be.
Seeing the appearance of those mecha sneaking into the deep mecha trenches, Zhang Fusheng cracked his mouth. The prostrate ass twisted more and more happily.
"It's kind of interesting!" Chuck used his white gloves to gently brush the dust on his uniform, looked at the television screen on the command platform, turned around and said to the staff officers beside him with a smile: "Being able to hold on for so long under the full attack of our two battalions, I really have to believe that the hero is not in vain." β
The sound of artillery and explosions in the distance was incessant. After listening to Chuck's words, the expressions on the faces of several combat staff officers and junior officers were somewhat unnatural.
The 401st and 402nd regiments of the 19th Division of Seuss are fully formed regiments composed of three combat battalions, a logistics company, a sharp knife company, an electronic platoon, an engineer company and a company-level reserve. The main individual mecha of the whole regiment is the eighth generation mecha of the boxing king, and each platoon is also equipped with a fortress-type humanoid heavy mecha.
From 16 p.m. to now, it seems that it is about to get dark. The two combat battalions of the 402nd Regiment plus the electronic mecha shielded the entire battlefield, and it was indeed a bit unreasonable to fight on a hill for nearly three hours and still not be able to take it down. Everyone knew that although Chuck was smiling, the green tendons on his forehead had already revealed his anger.
In the command room, which was temporarily arranged by the base mode of the command mecha, it was quiet. Everyone looked at the picture transmitted by the electronic mecha and was silent--what they met was really just two infantry regiments of the free world?
