Just as Joe pulled out a deck of poker and wanted to pull everyone together, the lieutenant of the infantry company rushed into the command room and reported breathlessly, "The infantry units of the 177th Assault Force have been assembled and are ready to go, chief." ”

The infantry company of the 177th Assault Force boarded the personnel carrier again after replenishing the water, and the lieutenant company commander found the night and signaled that they were ready to go, ready to attack the next target. Now all the soldiers were holding their breath in their hearts, and they had lost the opportunity because of Lieutenant Colonel Bruce's decision, which they had planned to do well when they captured the base. Since the start of the war, they have not fired a single shot, and they can only raise their eyes to the side to look at the meritorious service of the mecha unit, which is very uncomfortable. Moreover, if their brother troops knew that they were following the most elite mechs in the attack without firing, those brothers would not know what they would think of the soldiers in this company. Therefore, the lieutenant also plucked up the courage and suggested to the night to quickly attack the next Imperial base, the Imperial 177 transit base located thirty kilometers behind the 609 outpost.

How can I not know the thoughts of these army soldiers, after the lieutenant finished speaking, he immediately nodded in agreement, and then beckoned the members of the Blood Prison Commando to board the plane and prepare for departure.

The maintenance crew will remove the camouflage net from the mech's cover, and unplug all cables. With the order to set off at night, the 177th Attack Force embarked on a journey to attack the Imperial 609 transit base.

"Here is the 177 Attack Force, call Tris Air Force Base, please answer if you receive it." Night began to contact the Air Force in the rear, and now he needed intelligence on the area between the 177 outpost and the 609 transit base. After all, the field of view of the ground reconnaissance unit is still too small. Even they are equipped with a Warthog reconnaissance vehicle that can reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour in all environments. But the undulating terrain allowed them to grasp the situation in front of the troops at most four kilometers, and on the two flanks, these reconnaissance ranges would be halved.

"This is Tris Air Force Base, 177 Attack Force, and your voice is clear." The air base quickly gave a reply to the night, and the liaison officer of the 177 attack force, one of the main attack forces, did not dare to delay the slightest time, while establishing contact with the night. He called their leader.

"Our troops need a reconnaissance fighter unit to reconnoiter the situation of the Imperial forces in the area between Outpost 177 and Transit Base 609, please send it as soon as possible." Night especially emphasized the word as soon as possible.

"Okay, Unit 177, we'll arrange fighters right away." The airbase commander took the liaison and gave Ye a satisfactory answer. Jax and Garancha, two generals in the New London Star heavyweights, had already greeted the commander and would do whatever it took to meet the requirements of Unit 177.

"Thank you very much." Night out of the watchtower range of the 177 outpost signaled the troops to slow down, and the night did not want his troops to let the empire ambush. If he had known that there was a squadron or so of mechs in the 177 outpost the night before, he would not have attacked the 177 outpost in a straight line after killing the night. Fortunately, Bruce didn't get any information about the deployment of the 177 attack force. The wrong choice of relying on the defense of the base to hold on to the tactics missed the opportunity of the ambush night. The opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the 177 assault unit was also lost. But the situation is different now, Bruce must have told the rear base the information about the configuration of the 177 attack force, and the Federation's previous intelligence showed that in the largest transit base on the Imperial front, the 609 transit base, there is a squadron of mechs stationed. If this base were roughly the same as Outpost 177, and it was the Empire's turn to change shifts, several of the mechs there would be as numerous as two squadrons of terror. These mechs are enough to eat 177 Assault Troops, and they don't have to use ambushes. If the Imperial Commander had been cautious and had left half of his mechs at the base and ambushed Attack Force 177 with a squadron of mechs, Strike Force 177 would not have been able to withstand the attack. Therefore, Ye cautiously called the air force reconnaissance unit this time, and used the air force's extremely wide range of reconnaissance capabilities to play the role of early warning and air support for his own troops.

"This is Tris Air Force Base, 177 Attack Force, our fighter formation will take off in a minute, rushing in your direction, and is expected to arrive over you in ten minutes to start a reconnaissance mission." The efficiency of the base was still very high, and after a while, the commander of the air base personally contacted the night to report on the latest situation.

"177 Attack Force received, thank you very much for your help, Tris Air Force Base." Ye happily replied, and after ten minutes, he could decide how to attack the 609 transit base with minimal losses.

The Warthog scouts around them still did not hear from the Imperial troops, but the cautious night ordered the troops to stop advancing. This made the infantry a little dissatisfied, but after the lieutenant's explanation, the soldiers who were eager to show their abilities were relieved, after all, the night was also for their safety.

"This is the Skyhawk Brigade, the 177th Assault Force, and we have come to your skies and will immediately begin a reconnaissance mission." A group of 50 warplanes flew into the eastern skies, and these units were the maximum support that the Tris base could send to the 177 attack force. You must know that now the Federation is oppressing the imperial troops on the whole front, and the general attack force can only be assigned to one squadron of fighters as reconnaissance planes, and now the fighters in the sky above the night are already two and a half times that of the ordinary troops.

"Okay, Brigade Aquila. We await your news. Please pay attention to the traces in the desert, the reason why the Imperial forces may be hiding in the sand. "Night thought very thoroughly, considering all possible circumstances, although the traces on the sand might be cleared by the Imperial soldiers, or the reason why the wind and sand were obscured, there was a certain chance of finding them. Once discovered, Night can lead the 177 attack force to take the Imperial ambush force by surprise, which can greatly narrow the gap in the number of mechs between your own troops and the 609 transit base. Sneak attack tactics, both in previous wars and in current wars, can play a role in defeating the strong with the weak. Less is more.

"Understood. 177 assault troops. "A group of warplanes in the sky were flying overhead in the night. Shook the wings, and then in a group of three commandos, they spread out in all directions and began the reconnaissance mission. The reconnaissance range of the Skyhawk Brigade directly covered the 160-degree sector in front of the 177 attack force, an area of ten kilometers. Such a wide range of reconnaissance makes it very difficult for the Imperial troops to hide, who makes the Empire's fighter aircraft production not high. It is impossible to defend the airspace of the Empire.

Although the Federation's Hellfire is not specifically designed for intra-atmosphere operations, its excellent performance is recognized by everyone. Flying at high speed, they quickly reconnoitred the road far ahead of the 177 attacking force and informed the night of the report that no enemy had been found.

The night after receiving the report, I was a little puzzled, logically speaking, the commander of the 609 transit base should have used the terrain to use superior forces to ambush the federal army after knowing the configuration of the 177 attack force, and solve the enemy outside his own base, so as to maintain the integrity of his base. But the current situation seems to be that the commander of the 609 transit base has no intention of ambushing the 177 attacking troops outside, which makes Ye feel a little confused.

"This is Aquila One, 177 Attack Force. Can I receive it? "The captain of the Skyhawk Brigade suddenly contacted the 177th Strike Force, and it seemed that he had discovered something.

"It's clear. Skyhawk One. Is something happening? Have you found the ambush location of the Imperial forces? Night asked excitedly. From the heart of the night, he wanted to fight the Imperial forces in the desert, and the reason why the power of the land king's artillery could be maximized in such an open field. And it is not easy to capture a base guarded by a mecha unit, but if the mecha unit is removed, several bases are likely to surrender directly, just like the 177 outpost.

It's a pity that the night's wishful thinking was empty, at this time the Aquila No. 1 aircraft was not over the vast desert, and the Hellfire's extremely excellent speed had sent the first commando team of the Aquila to the sky above the 609 transit base, and the three fighters were filming and analyzing the defense of this base.

"177 Attack Force, we have not been able to detect the Imperial ambush force, we are now in the sky above the Imperial 609 transit base, and we will immediately transmit the footage we took to you." The captain of the Aquila team replied as he transmitted the image of the integration of the three fighters to the mech of the night.

Night was a little embarrassed that she had made a mistake in her guesses, but those emotions quickly vanished as the images on the monitor appeared. Ye muttered a little depressedly: "There is only one squadron of mechs, phew, I thought it was roughly the same as the 177 base, let's crash into the shift." ”

Joe, who had sharp ears, heard the whisper of the night, and the fast-talking king immediately began to express his opinion, saying: "Chief, I said that the empire must have left a squadron of our known troops to garrison the base, to prevent us from taking advantage of their ambush to make a detour to attack their base, and then send a squadron of shifts to ambush us." Look at the footprints of those mechs at the gate of the imperial base, hehe, don't those idiots know that the imperial troops have to clean their butts when they go out? It's so obvious. ”

Garth, who was listening, shook his head after carefully looking at the image, and said, "It seems that the Empire did not send troops to ambush us. ”

"Captain, how do you know that the Empire is not ambushing us?" Joe asked, and it was clear from his tone that the guy was very suspicious of Garth's words, and he didn't see any signs of the Imperial forces being dispatched.

Smith picked up the conversation and said, "Imperial forces haven't been dispatched for at least the last time. The guy said as he shared an image of what he was going to ask the Aquila Brigade for. In this image, the huge footprints of the Imperial troops came out of the gate of the base and connected to the vicinity of the sand where Unit 177 was located, and this series of footprints was a coherent and consistent depth of six mecha footprints. From these, it can be judged that these footprints should be the footprints left by the mecha unit that went to the 177 outpost to change shifts.

"Did these footprints and the Imperial forces attack on any side?" Joe asked as he made what Smith shared even more suspicious, dragging the picture across the screen.

Smith drew a circle at the door of Base 609 with an electronic pen, and this circle was also displayed on the mecha screens of the other three people, and then he said confidently: "This Imperial Mecha unit heading to Outpost 177 took a side-by-side formation when leaving the gate of the 609 Transit Base, that is to say, this Imperial Mecha Force left their footprints at the door of the entire 609 Transit Base. And the surrounding sand is also the imprint of the Imperial patrol car, and these imprints and footprints completely occupy the doorway of the Imperial base. If the Imperial forces from Base 609 were to ambush us, they would do so after these mechs, but if the Imperial soldiers wanted to cover up the footprints of their ambush troops, it would definitely affect the traces left by this shift change force and the Imperial patrol force. However, the various traces at the entrance of the base now appear quite natural, and there are no traces of other mecha footprints covering them again, nor are there any artificial cover-ups. These are enough to show that the Imperial Mecha Force has not been dispatched again after this batch of shift change troops attacked. So, Joe, what you think of as an imperial ambush force is non-existent. ”

Smith's analysis said that Joe nodded violently in the control room, but Night's brow furrowed even tighter. Night was convinced that Bruce had sent information about the configuration of his troops to Transit Base 609, and that Outpost 177 itself was set up for that base. Judging from Lieutenant Colonel Bruce's sabotage of supplies, it is impossible for this loyal soldier not to inform the 609 transit base he is defending about the situation of his troops. In other words, the commander of that base still chose the tactic of sticking to the base even though he knew that his troops had ultra-long-range attack capabilities.

Could it be that this base has some secret weapon with a range above the king of land? Night was startled by his thoughts, but he immediately rejected his own idea, the reason why this imperial base was not abnormal at all from the images taken by high-altitude reconnaissance, there were no very special-looking buildings, and there were no very obvious giant artillery or missile racks, missile silos and other long-range weapons facilities.

"Boss, it seems that this 609 transit base still relies on your heavy artillery to smash its turtle shell, haha." Qiao Le laughed. He also wanted to appreciate the destructive power of the King of Land's cannon, and when he was bombarding the 177 outpost, the boy had to cheer every time he fired a cannon at night, and he had to scream when the shell exploded, which made Garth and Smith, who had been in contact with the commando team all the time, extremely depressed.
