"Laffel, you're mistaken." Ye realized that he had not yet told Ravel the good news, and he had only explained it to the people in charge before, and had not conveyed it to the entire base, so he hurriedly explained: "Our time is not as tight as we thought. We have received the latest information that the Imperial forces will not be able to launch a sufficient operation against us for three days due to the resistance in the rear, which is sufficient to threaten the defense of the base. ”

Ravel's somewhat excited expression immediately became more excited, and he grabbed Ye Ye and said, "Really? Sir, do we have three days? ”

"Yes." Night couldn't understand why the lieutenant was so excited.

"Great, in this way, our engineers will have plenty of space to set up a remote control ground in front of the base that will make the Imperial mecha troops depressed. Originally, I thought that after the turret was built, there would be no time to set up the night. Ravel realized that his behavior was a little out of shape, and he was embarrassed to withdraw his hand, but there was still a lot of excitement in his tone.

In fact, the remote control ground night is no longer the usual weapon used by the coalition forces at this point. Although it is said that the inner night is remote-controlled and has the function of identifying friend or foe, the identification device on this cheap weapon is as bad as its value suggests. The miscalculation rate of about one percent makes both the Federation and the Empire reluctant to use this weapon on a large scale when there is a possibility of a counteroffensive, after all, no one wants to blow themselves up in the middle of their own counterattack, and if they want to use artillery to platoon the night, it will take a lot of time. On the contrary, some of the resistance groups that use jeeps as their main combat platforms have been using the ground night, because some of the very light vehicles inside are unlikely to trigger the fuse and cause an explosion even if they are pressed against the anti-mecha ground night.

At this time, the Federation will not be able to launch a normal offensive in three months. And within a month. It is also unlikely that there will be large-scale mecha guerrilla warfare. In this situation, the ground and night formations arranged on the front were a headache for the Imperial troops. It's really too suitable, let some of the Imperial artillery, which is not much in number, slowly line up for the night.

"Good idea, Ravel." The night knows the role of the night in the inner ground, and the night formation in front of Emma didn't make the attacking troops line up for nearly an hour of the night? Know that this hour is the time to drag on as Joga will be ready for a massive night row. Moreover, the width and depth of the Imperial Night Field at the beginning were relatively narrow and shallow because of the retreating troops behind the palace, far less than the desert in front of Base 209 at this time. Coupled with the fact that burying a night in the land is far less easy than burying a night in the desert, Night is as confident as Ravel will give a great greeting to the Imperial forces trying to attack Base 209.

Night immediately found Captain Guy, who was already calling for soldiers who had finished their work to clean up the construction site, and asked, "Captain Guy." I wonder how much anti-mecha ground night we have in stock in our base? ”

Captain Guy habitually pushed his heavy eyes, opened a small notebook he carried with him, searched for a while, and then replied: "Report to the chief, in our base warehouse, there are a total of 586 anti-mecha ground nights, anti-tank nights, 181 anti-tank nights, and anti-infantry nights, 287 anti-infantry nights. ”

"How can there be so many anti-mecha nights?" Night was taken aback by Guy's numbers.

Guy took it for granted and said, "These anti-mecha nights were all captured by the Empire from us. We had more than 500 anti-mecha nights in each transit base, and this was also forced by the Empire. Once the order to retreat was given from above. The base commander would spread the ground around the entire base. But this time the Empire's autumn offensive was too fast, and many bases were captured before they had time to make final arrangements. But it's okay, it's cheaper for us now. It can be regarded as the bad luck of some Imperial soldiers, all the supplies have been destroyed, but they have not been destroyed at night, and now they will have to pay the price for their negligence. "I can't understand what it means to be a captain overnight, especially the logistics captain who has been in charge of the army's equipment. Guy directly guessed that the night was going to use some of the inner nights to surprise the Imperial troops.

"Sir, let's do it tonight, I don't want to put it off until tomorrow night. And the work at night is not tiring, and my boys can definitely do it well. Ravel on the side immediately pleaded. If you work in the desert at night, you can work at night, and if you work under the sun in the morning, people will definitely not be able to stand it. Outside, you can't let the logistics people drive the truck to deliver ice, and the mecha can't hold a shade cloth to shade the engineers, so the time to bury the night can only be chosen at night.

"Well, I agree. But get your soldiers dressed a little more, I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and see a bunch of guys with a cold. Also, keep plenty of manpower, or tomorrow the watchtower will be erected, and there will be no one. Night nodded in agreement to Ravel's request, and the sooner the thing was buried, the harder it would be to see the traces.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the four responsible persons handed over their plans to Night, who was doing nothing in the command room, and then the four of them retreated to an adjoining officer's lounge to begin sorting out the plan narrative that would be used at the briefing. And the night also took advantage of an hour before the meeting, and skimmed through the plan.

The evening meeting was very simple, first with the exciting good news being announced, which caused a burst of cheers in the briefing room, and then the night handed over the matter to the four principals. The four officers assigned tasks for each day of the week were sufficient for one unit. Considering the abundance of time, most of the most important plans for the first three days also set each soldier's working time between eight and ten hours a day, ensuring that the soldiers could always maintain a state of energy.

Such a relaxed arrangement made the officers, who had just rejoiced at the good news of the night, anxious, and in their opinion, the sixteen-hour daily work arrangement may not be necessary, but at least the twelve hours a day should be maintained, so that the defense of the base can be better established.

Regarding the opinions of some of the officers, Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly and went to the podium, saying: "Actually, I also want to quickly build a stronger defense, but our materials are not enough. With the inventory we have at this point. It can only support three days of ten-hour work. Lack of inner parts. We can only wait for Tris's air force to deliver it to us. But even with the material factor removed, we don't have any more open space to build defenses. The materials in the warehouse of this 209 base can almost support us to deploy in some places on the base where we can build defenses. In fact, we are still quite lucky, if it weren't for the Imperial Commander's order to destroy most of the supplies, then last night's supply troops might not have brought us enough resources, maybe they wouldn't have come. ”

Night's words caused a burst of laughter from the officers below, and this unfortunate thing of being ruined turned into a blessing in disguise in Night's mouth. After laughing, some of the officers asked some trivial things, and naturally there was no need to worry about this kind of thing at night, and the four responsible persons below came to the stage one by one to solve the doubts of the officers. The night was happy in the position on the side, holding a drink and becoming a listener.

After the meeting ended, Raffer, who hurriedly ran out of the briefing room to organize the night mission, was stopped by the night, and he looked at the night with some confusion, not understanding why the night suddenly stopped him.

"Raffel, I'll go with you to see it." Ye Ke has never seen Bu Ye, and the ground night is useless when he is in space, and when Emma is in time, he meets the Imperial Bu Ye, and he arranges the night. At this time, I finally had the opportunity to see how to set up the night, and the night when my curiosity was stimulated naturally asked to follow.

"No problem. Sir, you wear an extra piece of clothing. I'll be waiting for you at the gate of the base. Seeing that Night was only wearing an autumn combat uniform, Ravel raised the winter combat uniform in his hand, signaling that Night should at least wear such thick clothes to withstand the cold wind outside the base.

"Okay." Logistics Captain Guy hadn't left yet, and the night easily got a winter coat from him. In less than five minutes, a logistician ran into the building and handed over the clothes to the night who was waiting there.

At the gate of Base 209, there are only sixteen heavy trucks parked in the entire base, and the cargo hold of these guys is full of huge ground nights. More than thirty engineers were already sitting in warthog-like jeeps waiting for the night to come. With the help of some logistical personnel, these soldiers took advantage of the more than three hours of rest after dinner to the end of the meeting to inspect these huge fuses one by one to ensure that some of the fuses with poor performance on these anti-enemy weapons could work normally.

"Let's go." After climbing up his own warthogs at night, Ravel gave the order to set off in the communicator, and they were to bury nearly 600 anti-mechs in front of the base tonight to form the first line of defense of the base.

The moon in the desert still didn't show its face tonight, which invisibly added some difficulties to Bu Ye, but these difficulties did not stump some of the engineers with a lot of crooked ideas. These guys simply set the flare on fire and put it in a container like a hot air balloon, so that the thing floats at a certain height, so that with the help of night vision devices, it can illuminate a large area, which is really a standard artificial moon.

"We can still work without Javier's help, sir." Sitting in the car and watching the balloon slowly rise, Ravel said proudly to the night. Havel is the moon of the capital star, known as the moon on the ground. Of the five planets that can be colonized, only the Capital Star has a moon, like Earth.

Night pointed to the balloon floating in the air and said, "Ravel, how long can the flares in this balloon last?" ”

"If it reaches the brightness of supporting night vision devices, this thing can last for about fifteen minutes, sir, let's connect a box of twenty lighting rods with leads, so that the leads can play a delayed excitation role, and thirty lighting sticks are enough to support four to five hours." Raffel said as he took out a box from the back of the car and opened the lid for the night to see.

The box contained the contents of the balloons placed by the Engineers, and the light rods were wrapped in fireproof cloths, and the heads of the cloths were connected with a lead. Curiously, Night picked up a lighting stick and gently opened the fireproof cloth, revealing the body of the lighting stick wrapped in a small amount of explosives.

Seeing the somewhat puzzled look cast by the night, Ravel explained: "The amount of these explosives is very small, and when it explodes, it will not cause spontaneous combustion of the lighting rods, but we use them to blow up some fireproof cloths inside." The real excitation flare is the night tube under the front lead, and the light rod, once used up, excites the lead tied to the tail to fire the next one. ”

"It's a pretty good thing." Ye wrapped the fireproof cloth again and said, "I don't know if you have this kind of thing here, I'm useful." ”

"Sir, we can have as many as you need." "There's still a lot of plastic film in the base, there's a lot of nitrogen in the balloons, and there's even more of it when it comes to lighting sticks." ”

Ye raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the materials to make this lighting balloon to be so simple, so he said politely: "Can you catch up with enough balloons to cover a kilometer in front of the entire base before the night after tomorrow?" It's so useful to use to prevent night raids. ”

Raphel patted his chest and said loudly, "No problem, sir. Tomorrow we will only need to erect three watchtowers, and there will be nothing we need to do. Dig trenches, pile sandbags and other unskilled work, and leave it to the infantry. We spent some of our spare time hiding in the warehouse and concentrating on popping balloons. ”

"Then please. Last time, we were lucky enough to crack the Empire's night attack by mistake, otherwise this base might not be guaranteed. Fortunately, the Empire folded that elite force last night, which made the Imperial commander determined to settle down first, and could not increase troops to the front line, or some Imperial troops might come back tonight. Ye said with some emotion. The coffee cup of the soldier who cracked the Empire's night raid last night was called the magic cup by some of the infantrymen, and was enshrined in a room by some do-gooders, and was no longer used by the sentry.

In the desert, the engineers who had successfully raised the lighting balloon began to lay ground night. The soldiers, working in groups of four, opened the cargo door of the truck and laid the special slides of these engineers. Three soldiers raised their sapper shovels and began to dig holes in the sand. The other three soldiers aimed the end of the slide at the bunker, then climbed into the truck and slid a piece of ground down the slide into the pit. The three soldiers on the ground turned on the safety device of the ground night, and with a click, dozens of long metal sensors popped up around the ground night, which not only expanded the sensing range of the ground night, but also reduced the impact of the movement of the sand dunes on the location of the earth night to a certain extent. After confirming that the ground was starting at night, the soldier gently covered the sand again, and after making sure that there was no trace of it, he beckoned the truck driver to drive to the next night spot.

With the help of eight balloons, sixteen trucks began to bury the night at high speed in parallel fashion, which was just enough to cover most of the left half of the area in front of the base, that is, it only took three runs to bury all the night. (To be continued......)
