Chapter 16 Preparing for Battle
Ethon was a very handsome, and handsome warrior like a star. This was Olive first impression of him.
The combat uniform and hair on his body were well groomed, his leather shoes were polished and shiny, and he wore a brand-name silver watch in his left hand.
To a warrior accustomed to seeing a man with hair like a chicken coop and dirty and crumpled clothes, Ethan was like a courteous gentleman, a second image he gave to Olive of it, but his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything.
This person is very powerful, this is Olive Live's third evaluation, it is better to be less troublesome.
Although Ethan was surprised by Olive at first, he recovered quickly, and the surprise on his face could be said to be fleeting. The next inspection of the base of the first detachment and the explanation were also very clear.
After Olive walked around the base, she felt that the soldiers here were very friendly to her on the surface, but her eyes were full of repulsion......
Now I will not ask you to follow my orders, after all, I have just arrived, I don't know the situation of the first detachment, Captain Ession can continue to be the zero hour commander of the first detachment, I have no opinion, but after all, I have assigned the captain of the first detachment, I think I can have the power to make suggestions on all kinds of things in the future. ’
This was the welcome ceremony of the detachment in the evening, and Olive said to all the soldiers and Essene who participated in the ceremony. She knew her age and gender would have trouble commanding the team, so she simply handed over the command directly to Ethane.
Afterwards, everyone's mood stabilized a lot, and after receiving Olive's reassurance that they would not interfere with the operational command, everyone really liked this beautiful girl, and welcomed her very warmly.
A month later......
In the run-in of the first team, Olive gradually integrated into the group, of course, this was when she tried not to interfere with Ethion's decision-making.
And Ethan himself will be very concerned about her face, and will often ask her opinion, although her opinion does not help, but it is better than being ostracized.
And now, a detachment is holding a very important meeting.
'We copied from the left side of the hill and cooperated with the ground forces to attack after a minute of contact with the enemy. ’
In the command room, Ethon arranged the warriors of the mechs gathered around the three measuring cameras.
We don't have an advantage in terms of combat power, the enemy has about 200 to 300 tanks and about 20 fighters. And we have 150 tanks and 17 fighters......
'What about our mechs?' ’
A mecha warrior in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
Olive glanced at the man and recognized him as a veteran member of the first detachment named Mto, his mecha skills were okay, but his battlefield awareness was very good, and he could avoid it many times when he was in danger, which was also his fate. And this thing is a drunkard and often goes crazy, otherwise he might have become the vice-captain a long time ago.
‘…… They probably have about 300 of them, and we have about 80 ......, but don't worry too much, most of them are old Kamosh Type 001 mechs. ’
Ethan looked at the group, his hands propped up on the edge of the platform, and retracted his gaze to stare at the Luohuan Mountain of the Sanwei Imager......
'Captain, do you think you should fight?' ’
Jones asked.
He is the vice captain of the first detachment, he is very calm, and he is also one of the few veteran soldiers alive in the first detachment, and everyone sincerely recommended him as the vice captain.
At this time, everyone in the command room stopped talking.
Fight the strong with the weak, even if their equipment is worse than their own, but in terms of numbers, they are enough to kill us. Moreover, the morale of the government army is not good now, and the tactics of the other side are very crazy, and if they don't get it right, they will pounce and blow themselves up, and this battle can be said to be completely dead for a detachment.
Olive has seen the history of the detachment, this is a detachment with its own military soul, and this test is likely to be the end of the detachment.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Olive decided to give her opinion.
'Can we choose another battlefield or time?' There is an old saying that the time, the place, the people, and the people can't compare with us, we can look for the terrain or the time of the day that is favorable to us? ’
So people looked at Olive Live, everyone was thoughtful, and some people were nodding, as if there was still a slight chance of winning.
‘…… No, the superiors gave a death order, and our task was to hold this team down, and their target was the left flank of our three-service mecha regiment. And the three armies are about to fight a decisive battle with the local Seventh Mecha Corps in Langge Mountain, they need time, and their combat strength is already weaker than the enemy, our task is to drag down the enemy who falls around the mountain to create time for the main force......
Hearing this, everyone became even more silent. Even fools can understand how much water this some contains. The most painful thing is that this delay in time itself is that there is no possibility of reinforcements coming.
This procrastination may be a suicidal mission. Moreover, the chances of victory of the main army are also very slim, and this task can be said to be completely meaningless.
'I'm going to get some drinks......
Mto turned and left the command room.
Ethan glanced at it, but didn't stop it. For the next few minutes, the warriors left in silence, leaving only Olive and Arsen.
You can ask your superiors to move out of here. ’
Ethon said, his eyes staring blankly at the Measurements Imager.
'My home country probably would have preferred me to stay here......
Olive crossed her hands and folded her chest, leaning her head against the tent and staring at the light bulb above.
'Let's go have a meal!' ’
Olive was stunned for a moment, and finally invited Ethan to join her for dinner. She knew that staying here wouldn't help, and in order to calm herself down, she took the initiative to invite a man to dinner for the first time to distract herself.
‘…… As the last shot in life? ’
Ethon finally looked away from her gaze and asked as she looked at Olive as she was about to walk out of the tent.
'You're thinking too much, Captain Ethon!' ’
Olive gave Ession a white look and walked out of the tent, leaving Ession with a look of regret and disappointment.
1:13 a.m.......
51 Thor Type 3 mecha warriors took Ethane as the front, and the troops advanced quickly in a triangular formation.
The team had been on the march for about an hour, and Olive was at the back of the line, and a detachment of soldiers had poured out of the group, except for the maintenance man, the administrator, and the cook.
As the least combat-fighting Olive was unanimously arranged at the end by everyone, and the beautiful name was that men were preferred. But everyone knows that no one may be able to run away this time, and in their hearts, everyone has already regarded Olive as a goddess, hoping to bring her the last bit of protection in this way.
Three days earlier, Olive had asked the mechanics to make a long-range sniper rifle, which was finally completed after three days of hard work. This gun is thirteen meters long, and the single-shot sniper rifle is modified from the gun body of the Miriz tank, and the range of the Riz tank is 20,000 meters, and the accuracy is within 0.5 meters.
Olive calls her superpowers Domain, god-sounding skills, awesome.
At 3:41 a.m., in the dark of night, a detachment of mecha warriors drawn from other detachments converged, and a total of 91 Thor 3 mechs were fully armed. Everyone sat in the cockpit and stood by, ready to strike at any moment.
