Chapter 253: The Awakening of the Giants
If you insist on forcibly starting a decisive battle with the Imperials in this valley, I am afraid that it will only take a few hours, and the Federation's military strength in Suyue Star Ruthor is likely to be completely lost here, and after they are all martyred, it will still not be able to stop the Imperials from digging up the war apostles who have fallen underground.
Another important reason is that the War Apostle piloted by Shi Chen has been completely pressed into the mountain by the heavy Topol, and Xixia Mountain is a famous open-pit iron mine, although they have used mecha to manually excavate, but in the bad situation of no professional digging tools and being harassed by the Imperial Army day and night, until now they have not been able to dig the cockpit where the War Apostle fell into the ground.
After eight days and eight nights without food or drink, and with such a heavy injury that could not be treated in time, by now, except for the stubborn guardian knight of His Highness Isa, there are not many people who think that Captain Shi is still alive.
For this reason, this position is no longer worth the thousands of people who continue to defend with their lives.
Feng Shangming looked at the imperial army that was getting closer and closer, and finally ordered to abandon the defense line of Xixia Ridge, blow up the passage that had been dug to most of it, and retreat deeper into the Xixia Mountain Range, and divided the remaining troops into twelve roads to carry out guerrilla attacks in the surrounding area, so that the excavation plan of the imperial people could be delayed for at least seven more days, and the reinforcements from the capital star circle would arrive.
After the Imperial Army occupied the wreckage of the Poplar in Xixialing, they did not continue the frantic attack, but continued to build on the fortifications blown up by the Federation to prevent the Federation from counterattacking.
The situation of the Federation is bad, but the Imperials are also in a bad situation to some extent, not to mention that time is extremely unfavorable to them, and there are two forces of the Federation that are frantically harassing and even storming their positions day and night, making the Imperials unguarded.
Above the light curtain, you can clearly see the black and white color blocks that represent the original dark blue of the Federation, and are once again separated by the Imperial Staff Headquarters, representing the Silver Ten Guards of the Federation and the Blackstone Mecha Battalion.
The two are divided into many lines on the map. Ignoring the coverage of the empire's firepower, he rushed straight and fearlessly towards the position, without any division and encirclement, let alone detours, only the most direct straight line interspersed.
And when these straight lines, which represented a company or even a squad, bit the imperial troops fiercely, the end of the line suddenly opened again, skillfully began to divide the firepower, and then methodically tore apart the imperial garrison defense line in Xixia Mountain one by one.
In such a situation, the weaker melee fighters began to rain down their limited ranged firepower to support both units.
From time to time, clouds of gunsmoke floated in the manic night. The mountains that were stretched to dozens of square kilometers of combat area again burst out with extremely dazzling light and explosions without interruption.
One after another, specific orders were issued from the temporary headquarters of the two sides, and the electronic signals passed through the pungent air, drifted through the dust of the explosion, and the electronic interference that crossed the two rooms with great difficulty, and transmitted them to each individual combat unit, like pulling countless knives with puppet wires, cutting the opponent's body to the ground and drenched in blood.
The positional war turned into a chaotic battle in the iron blood and faith of the two. In the wilderness, in the darkness of the night, people die at every moment.
However, at this moment, a muffled explosion of thunder exploded in the night accompanied by a dazzling light. Smoke rose from the ruins of the Topol.
Inside the Temporary Command of the Xixia Mountain Federation.
"Oh no! The Empire, where most of the EM beam bombs and howitzer shells of the munitions depot were detonated directly at the bottom of the Topol, was trying to dig up the Apostles of War directly from above the surface. An adjutant reported.
Feng Shangming's uneasiness these days finally surfaced, and he finally understood why the empire's long-range firepower had suddenly weakened so much in the past few days. At first, the Federation officers were glad that the fire in the South Ridge had left the Empire with too many baggage and heavy weapons, but now it seems that the Empire's persistence and perseverance are far beyond everyone's imagination.
If it is true that the Imperials get the War Apostles. And if they have a chance to control that giant beast, the consequences are unimaginable.
Even the old army commander Feng Shangming, who had always been calm, frowned at the moment, looking at the imperial expeditionary force that had receded like a tide on the light curtain and shrunk into a ball, his mood was extremely heavy.
According to the cold calculations of the central control system, it only takes five days to forcibly open the passage from that position and carry out the excavation operation.
What to do! The old army commander was at a loss.
With their current military strength, relying on the treacherous terrain of Xixia Mountain, they can protect themselves, but if they launch a decisive battle with the Imperials with the whole army, especially positional warfare, even if the other side consumes nearly four-fifths of its heavy firepower for blasting operations, they are still not opponents, and launching a general attack will only increase deaths.
However, if the Imperials were allowed to successfully obtain the War Apostles, within two days, it would be enough for the Imperials to escape back to the South Ridge after killing them all and before reinforcements arrived.
And at this moment, Suyecanna, who was participating in the round-table military meeting, suddenly said: "I have a proposal. ”
Feng Shangming looked at the powerful general of the Blackstone Military Region and raised his chin to signal.
Su Ye Cangna glanced at everyone present, and said: "It's still the old method, the power furnace that detonated the Poplar, I don't have Shi Chen's skills, so I can't make the power furnace fully explode, but the estimated explosion yield can at least destroy the imperial army within a radius of three kilometers, destroy the core area of the imperial defense line, and most importantly, I can let the imperial people's excavation channel collapse again, but in order to prevent the imperial people from working again, we had better put the time of the emperor's action in five days." At that time, even if the Imperials carried out the operation again, it would be enough to delay the time until the reinforcements arrived. ”
Feng Shangming's brows furrowed even deeper, although he intellectually knew that the success rate of this method was extremely slim and dangerous, but this was the only way to solve the current dilemma, and asked, "What do you need?" ”
But without the slightest hesitation, Su Ye Cangna pointed to Xu Qiusheng who was standing behind Isha and said, "I want him." ”
Fighting side by side these days, Xu Qiusheng's strength has been fully recognized by her, and this is an ace pilot who is not inferior to herself.
When she first came to Suyuexing, she and Shi Chen were able to deal with Shi Chen for a few days and nights under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, with Xu Qiusheng's help and the cover of the troops, she believed that it should not be difficult to break through the heavy defenses of the imperial army and enter the wreckage of the Poplar.
How to detonate and withdraw the Topol's power furnace within the time limit is a matter of life and death.
For this plan, she herself does not have much confidence, if the operation fails, the Federation will lose two ace pilots at one time, and the Ruthor Army will not be able to escape the fate of annihilation, the risk is not small, but this seems to be the only chance at present.
Feng Shangming glanced at Xu Qiusheng, who was a little stunned, and then at Issa, who was unhappy, and said, "This needs the approval of Lieutenant Xu and His Royal Highness Isa." ”
However, before Isha could put forward her opinion, she heard Xu Qiusheng say, "I have no opinion." ”
Isha just wanted to refute, but Xu Qiusheng continued: "If Tatsuko is here, he will definitely agree." ”
Hearing this familiar name, Isa's eyes were slightly red, and she did not raise any further objections.
With the end of this battle meeting, the Imperials suddenly found that the Federation people who had been frantically harassing them suddenly seemed to have received some kind of order, and instantly began to retreat.
It came like a frenzy, and then retreated like a frenzy, and in the next five days, although the Federalists were still harassed, they all advanced and retreated, and they did not fall into war.
There is an old saying in the empire that when things go wrong, there must be demons, but the people of the empire know what the people of the Ludao Federation are planning, but the significant reduction of pressure in a short period of time is also a good thing for them.
Since Suberyon fell from the sky above Sugaku Star, the hard battle has basically not stopped, and he has been defeated again and again, and he has been defeated again and again, and after fighting for so long, even the warriors who fight with iron are tired and their hearts are cold.
Suddenly getting a respite, although the imperial people did not dare to relax, the originally tense nerves still involuntarily relaxed.
It wasn't until the fifth day, when the passage dug from the interior of the Poplar to the interior of Xixia Mountain was about to be successfully dug that the Imperials woke up again, and they knew that if the Federation was going to fight back or even a decisive battle, it would be today.
Sure enough, when night fell, a dense array of grenades and electromagnetic beam bombs fell into the Imperial position in Xixia Mountain, bursting into brilliant fireworks, and at the same time, the Federation launched a counterattack on the position like a tide as Qin Yuan expected.
Countless mecha armored vehicles rumbled over the hole-ridden mountain roads of Xixia Mountain, and tens of thousands of people's offensive drama was staged in the darkness before dawn, staging magnificent and dazzling scenes.
The decisive battle of Suyue Star seems to be tonight, and the key to victory or defeat seems to be tonight.
However, not long after the battle, the Imperial officers suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing from this war.
"Where did their two ace pilots go?" Just when Qin Yuan was puzzled, on the confrontation map of the light curtain forces, two blue arrows suddenly burst out, breaking through several lines of defense one after another, which shocked the people of the empire, and also made Qin Yuan frightened and inexplicable, and he quickly ordered, sensing the other party's intentions: "Defend the Poplar position!" ”
Just when the battle of Xixia Mountain on the ground was in full swing, underground, where someone was sleeping, there was also a muffled sound, like a knock on the door.
After five days and five nights of sleepless excavation, an engineering team of the empire finally excavated a path from the hard Xixia Mountain to the cockpit behind the neck of the war apostle, and was doing the most resounding blasting operations, but the effect was not ideal, the piece of skin and flesh was blurred by the explosion, but it was still impossible to open the closed cockpit.
As they ramped up the blast, there was a sudden violent trembling sound on the ground, as if a series of explosions had awakened a sleeping being.
