Mary Keane held the position of first mate in the USS Missouri, her first time participating in combat as a senior commander of a capital battleship. As First Officer, Mary's main job is to be responsible for the loading of weapons and equipment on board the ship and the management of personnel. During the battle, she used to be very busy, but the Missouri participated in a total of two hours of fighting, and the fleet of the new Chinese country collapsed.

After that, Mary worked for six days on a daily basis, routinely checking the condition of the reactor, the list of supplies and weapons on board, and the status of the staff at each post. For the first few days, Mary was still trying to check the list, but then it turned into a walk-and-go form of writing.

It was a far cry from what she wanted.

On the sixth day, Mary arrived at Cambridge and walked to the side of Luffy, the captain of the USS Missouri. She wore a royal blue fleet uniform that didn't even cover the bulge on her chest, a waist-cinching uniform that exposed half of her plump bee waist, and a short skirt and black stockings that reached just above the knee framed the curves of her legs.

Mary stood up straight, gently straightened her short blonde hair with her right hand, and said to Captain Luffy, "Captain, I want to apply for ground combat!" ”

Luffy looked up at Mary and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Actually, in his heart, Luffy doesn't like this Mary Keane niece very much, but due to the pressure of the Keane family, he must offer this young girl as a Buddha, which is why Mary is currently doing an idle job. But Mary is an untamed wild horse at heart, and needs a battlefield of blood and fire to gallop.

Mary said with a serious expression: "I want to apply to join the troops fighting on the ground. I heard that the top brass of the Xinhua military department has been surrounded, and I don't want to just sit in my office and watch this war. ”

Mary's tone was very hard, listening to Luffy's ears, his brows furrowed, he nodded, and whispered: "The last resort of the New China Kingdom has not been used yet, and their high-level Skywalkers still retain their strength. You're going to fight on the ground now. It would be very dangerous. ”

Mary said with a cold expression: "Captain, I request to be the Marine Commander of our ship. ”

"What?"

Mary looked at Luffy with cold eyes and said, "I know the equipment and personnel on our ship, those two thousand marines shouldn't be here for tourism, right?" ”

Luffy laughed dryly twice, and then said to Mary, "Mary's niece, it's not that I don't want to, it's just..."

Mary didn't wait for Luffy to finish, took out a virtual screen and handed it to Luffy, and said, "Captain, this is my voluntary application." If something happens, you won't be held responsible. ”

Luffy took a virtual look at the screen, and it was written by Mary herself, along with her electronic signature. Once Mary is killed in the war, this petition can allow Luffy to shirk all responsibility.

Putting away the application, Luffy said with a smile on his face, "Hehe! Since you took the initiative to fight, Mary, I can't hurt your morale. I now officially appoint you as the captain of the 724th Commando Team on the USS Missouri, and I will be parachuted into Drysay tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Captain!" Mary gave a standard military salute and turned to leave.

After Mary left. Luffy had a look of playfulness and contempt on his face.

In the temporary command post of the Xinhua General Headquarters, Wang Hu, Deng Wenbin, Feng Yongzhi and several other generals were busy. They need to command their respective units and discuss the next battle together. The current staff of the new Chinese state is understaffed, and the generals need to be personally involved in the formulation and details of strategy and tactics.

Jin Dapeng also joined the decision-making level. He hadn't closed his eyes for three days, and at this time, the stubble and unkempt hair, coupled with his slightly darkened eye circles, could tell that Jin Dapeng was already using the Force to support his tired body.

The five elders of the House of Elders are currently in a conference room, and all five of them have not had a good rest since the beginning of the war. At most, close your eyes slightly and rest for two hours. They are the top decision-makers in Xinhua China. It is also a key figure in deciding whether the final resort is used or not.

"We can't take it anymore, we have to use that power." One of the five elders said.

"No, I can't. If that happens, the whole planet could be doomed! Another old female voice said.

"Now, it's over here......"

“……‘

"Decide! We've shed so much blood. ”

"Can we really keep her under control?"

"There should still be energy to sustain. Now there are tens of millions of Chinese compatriots here. If it gets out of hand, it's ......"

"Let's vote!" A majestic voice with an old voice said.

"Agreed!"

"Disagree!"

"Agreed!"

"Abstain!"

"Agreed!"

"Three votes agreed, passed! Use last resort. ”

"We old bones need to move too!"

There was a moment of silence, and then as soon as the command was given.

Jin Dapeng and other generals who received the order all gasped after seeing it, but thinking about the current situation, everyone could only bow their heads in resentment.

Jin Dapeng looked at Wang Hu out of the corner of his eye, Wang Hu shook his head, he turned his head again, and looked at the virtual screen in front of him again.

On the night of the sixth day, the Xinhua army launched the most fierce counteroffensive. At least 30,000 ordinary soldiers and more than 50 special operations squads participated in the night battle. At the same time, even the rarely used mechs were dispatched.

Throughout the night, neither side had any time to rest, and the tight fighting left both the offensive and defensive sides exhausted. When dawn came, the Xinhua army left nearly 10,000 corpses and more than 50 scrapped mechas, seemingly reluctantly retreating to the underground bunker.

The federal forces also lost more than 4,000 soldiers, dozens of mechs and warplanes. It was the night in which the war had been fought so far, and they had lost the most.

The 300,000 Union Marines who had landed had lost nearly 20,000 in six days of fighting, and 50,000 wounded. The wounded soldiers were recovered in the ship's infirmary, the lightly wounded soldiers remained inside the ship, and the seriously injured and disabled were sent back to the fleet in synchronous orbit by transport plane.

The commander in charge of ground operations also routinely reported the battle to Commander Joshua every day, and today he also learned the good news that the second round of airborne marines of the fleet will be engaged in battle today.

When dawn came, the Third Fleet of the Federation did not waste energy bombing the underground bases of the New China Kingdom. The Federation Army has found out some of the situation of the underground base of the Xinhua Kingdom, which was originally built by the Federation to prevent the attack of the Puldos, and the design requirement is to be able to preserve the living force during the attack of the Puldo fleet.

Joshua seems to have been prepared for a long time, they naturally know the original situation of Dressel, the design drawings of the underground base have been displayed in 3D on the tactical map of the bridge, and today is going to attack this underground base.

In his opinion, the attack of the Xinhua Kingdom last night was the last madness of those Chinese people, and even a few mechs that had been retired from the original garrison of the Delaisai Star were used, and today should be the battle of the high-level Skywalkers.

Numerous huge alloy tanks detached from the belly of the heavy battleships of the Third Fleet. These large alloy tanks have a diameter of fifty or sixty meters and a height of more than 100 meters. The alloy canister is ejected, and under the effect of velocity, it enters the gravitational range of the Deresaixing.

The alloy canister flew into the atmosphere at high speed, and the friction turned red, like a bullet fired into the surface of the planet.

The alloy canister streaked through the air in trails of white soot tails and landed on the surface of the Dresser.

Poof! The alloy tank opened, and out of it came a series of bipedal mechas. These mechs are more than three meters tall, with two big steel feet shaking the earth, two large-caliber Gachalin rotating machine guns in their hands, and two huge bazookas on their shoulders, each with fourteen rockets painted red.

The bipedal mech is the main mech of the Federal Marine Corps, mainly responsible for fire support. When entering the underground base, these mechs can be very helpful.

On the other side, in the forests of Dreisel, which had been ignored by the Federation, the trees began to rustle and make uneasy noises. (To be continued......)
