Chapter 229: The Upgraded Galaxy Squad
The Federation's base three on the alien planet was finally captured by the Empire after holding out for several months.
The empire, which had paid a great price, did not choose a truce, but continued to increase its troops and prepare to break the Federation's No. 6 base in another planet in one fell swoop.
With more than 2,000 mechs and 100,000 troops, the Empire relied on the Dust Storm to lock the location of Base 6 within a radius of 30 kilometers.
Almost all of the federal forces that could support it were mobilized to the periphery of Base 6, forming one blockade and sniper line after another.
The real main force among these forces is not the six ace mecha warriors including Han Li and Jackson, and the mecha corps that led them. In such a large-scale battle, individual combat power can play a role not as well as an encounter in a dust storm.
When the two-month storm finally dissipated, the Federation's air force, or Space Fleet, became the most critical factor in determining the outcome of the war.
On the one hand, the Federation Space Fleet needs to go all out to destroy the Imperial Space Fleet, satellites, and other Imperial forces that are trying to seize air supremacy, so as to ensure the Federation's greatest advantage in this war.
On the other hand, they also need to provide fire support to the ground forces, and after determining the location of the Imperial forces, they can deliver precise and efficient precision strikes from space.
The second main force of the Federation is the artillery unit of the Army, and the actual damage caused by conventional-level artillery and various missiles is far greater than that of the mecha corps.
Even the Engineer Brigade in the Army Corps was able to rely on weapons such as mines to inflict heavy casualties on the Imperial Army in ambush battles, and was equally more efficient than the Federation's mechs.
There are also more than half a million federal troops, and the total number of kills and injuries caused by the firearms and other individual weapons they use in this war is also higher than the total number of kills and injuries caused by all the mecha fighters in the Federation.
However, the role of the MechWarrior is still crucial, because only the Mecha can stop the Mech.
As soon as the dust storm dissipated, the Empire relied on the high-tech reconnaissance equipment they possessed to locate an artillery unit supporting Base 6 and launched a strong attack.
"Fire."
At the sound of the order, a roar resounded in the alien land.
The Empire can discover the Empire's artillery units, the Federation can also discover the Empire's attacking ground forces, and without the interference of dust storms, the Federation's high-altitude reconnaissance satellites and space unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, etc., help the Federation troops gain a vision far beyond the Empire.
It was the artillery units on the ground that fired the artillery, and with the vision and satellite positioning system, the various artillery pieces they had were capable of carrying out precision strikes, and launched powerful fire attacks at a position of about ten kilometers away from the imperial troops.
The anti-aircraft weapons of the Reich's ground forces were activated at the first time, including anti-missile missiles and anti-aircraft machine guns, and all kinds of anti-aircraft weapons intercepted most of the attacks.
At the same time, the mecha corps of this imperial force, after breaking away from the main force, rushed directly to the artillery unit that was firing.
There are no artillery or missiles that can hit the high-speed moving mechs, and when the Imperial mechs rush to the artillery positions, those artillery weapons and the Federation soldiers who use those weapons will be mercilessly slaughtered.
Just like Ji Xinghe's first orbital airborne combat mission before, after he fell from the sky, he directly entered the artillery position of the Empire, and at the same time greatly relieved the artillery pressure that the federal troops needed to bear at that time.
"Prepare for battle."
The blind man's voice rang out in the galaxy team's communication channel, and the seven mechwarriors were ready for battle, and their goal was to stop the charging Imperial mechs.
"Yes."
The prepared Galaxy team received information from the command system, as well as the combat plan and subdivided combat objectives.
The mecha fighters involved in protecting this artillery unit are not only the Galaxy squad, there are a total of three hundred mechas.
"The number of enemy mechs is four hundred and twenty-three, and the number is expected to drop to four hundred by the time they arrive at the combat site."
"Among them, there are twenty-seven of them of the viscount class, sixty-two of the baron class, and three hundred and thirty-four of the regular class."
"The numbering has been completed, and the combat objectives of the Harris squad are ...... The combat objectives of Qin Tong's team are...... The combat objective of the Galaxy team is ......"
"The scheduled combat coordinates were...... Please go to the predetermined battle coordinates immediately and prepare to start the battle. ”
The cannon is constantly sounding, and the artillery units of the Federation are still trying to use artillery to strike at the charging Imperial mechs, which is very inefficient but as long as it can cause casualties, it is a victory, which can relieve the pressure on the mecha soldiers.
Also involved in the battle are armed armored vehicles, tanks, etc., which cooperate with various mecha squads, and the mecha and tank coordination is very effective in such battles.
Once the Imperial Mech and the Federation Mech are entangled, their movement speed will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult for them to obtain the same level of support even if they are separated from the main force.
Whether it's a shell or a heavy machine gun, it's capable of damaging and suppressing them.
Three hundred against four hundred, without support, it is difficult for the Federation mech warriors to complete their blocking mission.
The battle to fight more with less has finally begun.
The number of mecha is the smallest of all mecha squads, and the number of imperial mecha that they need to face is no less than that of other mecha squads, which is determined by the strength they have.
With two mechs specially tailored for special mecha warriors, three weapons made of tungsten steel and gold, and the support of Chen Xun, a sniper, their combat effectiveness cannot be judged by the number of mechas.
Su Chuanyun, the general of Niu Ma, took the mecha heavy sword given to him by Ji Xinghe, and after breaking through the cockpit of a baron-level imperial mecha, he laughed excitedly.
"Lao Tzu is finally special, wahahaha......"
"Lao Tzu is also special."
Andre didn't have a weapon made of tungsten gold, but he did get his twentieth gold star.
The Galaxy Squad, which has only eight mecha warriors, was originally composed of old men and remnants of the company that many people are not optimistic about, but now they have one ace mecha warrior and four super-grade mecha warriors.
Among them, the number of Venus of the blind man and the crippled man is close to the standard of becoming an ace mecha warrior.
The battle continues, and the mecha warriors of the Galaxy Squad continue to pick up stars.
"Cripple, change with me."
The blind man shouted, gave up a Venus that was about to arrive, and handed over the opponent he had just wounded to the cripple.
"Deaf, change."
The cripple made the exact same choice as the blind man, with stronger mechs and better weapons, but instead of choosing to obtain Venus quickly like before, they began to participate in such mecha cluster battles in the most common combat methods used by special mech warriors.
Because Ji Xinghe has become an ace, what is the point of the so-called ace mecha warrior building plan?
In the case that the level of operation is actually about the same, the performance of the mecha and the performance of the weapon can largely determine the strength of a mecha warrior.
"Left-handed brother, come here."
Holding a mecha heavy sword made of tungsten steel gold, Su Chuanyun, who had just become a super-level mecha warrior, felt that he should help his teammates like the blind man and the cripple man, so he also chose to let Jin Xing.
A viscount-level imperial mecha took the opportunity to attack, making Su Chuanyun of Venus hurriedly hold the opponent's weapon, but the battle posture had been suppressed.
Gu Yu
At this moment, a specially made bullet passed a distance of two kilometers and hit the head of this viscount-level Imperial mecha with incomparable precision from between the gaps in the positions of the seventeen mechas.
"Lao Chen, I love you."
Su Chuanyun took advantage of the situation to counterattack and take another gold star, and the left-handed brother had already taken over his opponent just now and successfully achieved the breakthrough.
The number of Venus continued to increase, and a mecha squad consisting of ace mecha warriors and special mecha warriors appeared after this battle.
Its name is Galaxy Squad.
Major Li Lin has 72 gold stars (code name Blind Man), Captain Wang Gui has 63 gold stars (code name Cripple), Lieutenant Su Chuanyun has 23 gold stars (code name Niu Ma), Lieutenant Andre has 22 gold stars (code name Heavy Artillery), Lieutenant Zuo Qiyu has 21 gold stars (code name Left Hand), Lieutenant Zhao Debang has 22 gold stars (code name Deaf), and Lieutenant Zhong Cheng has 23 gold stars (code name Cripple).
In fact, the number of Venus stars of the blind man and the cripple should not be so much, and the number of Venus stars of the others should not be so small, but because of the ace warrior building plan, not only many of their previous Venus stars were given to the blind and the lame, but also some of the Venus of the other two mecha squads were also given to the blind and the lame.
At this time, the Galaxy team was not fighting alone, and the two mecha teams that had been mobilized to support them because of the ace warrior building plan were now guarding on either side of them.
It's time for an end, though.
After a tough battle, the Galaxy team went back to rest, and the relevant orders came, and the other two mecha teams that helped them a lot were not merged into the Galaxy team, but were directly transferred away.
But the Galaxy Squad is no longer a mech squad with only eight mech warriors, and new mech tactics have been added to it.
Chen Xun introduced.
"Second Lieutenant Xiao Fulai, a first-class mecha warrior, was assigned to the Remnants Company because of his injuries, and he re-passed the exam to get back his qualification to pilot a mecha."
"Second Lieutenant Li Lehai, a former first-class mecha warrior, was incorporated into the ...... because he was injured"
"Second Lieutenant Guo Yingcai...... Second Lieutenant Wang He......"
Eight first-class mecha warriors, with the mecha they had just received, joined the Galaxy team, and their common feature was that they had been incorporated into the remnant company due to injury, and they had all lost the opportunity to continue piloting the mecha before.
With the number of mechs in the Federation far outnumbering the mechs, it is unlikely that even if they are healed after being injured and disabled, they will not be able to fly the mechs again.
The blind man gets more Venus than the lame, not because he is really stronger than the lame, but because his disability has a much smaller impact than the lame.
Mechanical legs and mechanical eyes, for the operation of driving mechas, the latter naturally has more advantages.
"They were all selected by Lao Ji in Base Six before, and the fact that they were able to re-pass the exam has shown that their strength and willpower are very strong."
Chen Xun explained to the people of the Xinghe team that this matter was what Ji Xinghe told him before leaving.
And the people who know about it, in addition to the Galaxy Squad, also have Jackson.
At that time, after Jackson learned that Ji Xinghe threatened Tang Qiao, when he ran to the training area to find Ji Xinghe, he saw that Ji Xinghe was talking to some people in the remnant company, which was the reason why these eight mecha warriors were able to re-pass the exam and join the Galaxy team.
Of course, the Galaxy team has no problem with the addition of new members, and Ji Xinghe is not there, so it is of course a good thing to have more teammates.
And for the physical disability of the new members, most of the people in the Galaxy team feel very kind.
"Actually, I have two small questions." Su Chuanyun looked at Chen Xun a little nervously: "First question, Lao Chen, you won't transfer me and Andre away in the future, right?" ”
Chen Xun frowned: "Why?" ”
"Because Andre and I are not disabled." Su Chuanyun said cautiously: "Why don't we two try to get injured a little bit, and then do a mechanical prosthetic transformation?" ”
"No, I think you're disabled."
"No, I'm fine."
"You're brain-dead."
Su Chuanyun, who was scolded, laughed and glanced at Andre next to him, who suddenly became nervous.
If he is brain-dead, the pressure will come to Andrei, who is very healthy and intact.
"Hehe...... Andre smirked, touching the back of his head with his hand and looking at everyone: "Actually, I am mentally disabled. ”
As a joke, the newly joined mecha warriors were no longer nervous, and Su Chuanyun asked a second question.
"You say, how many gold stars does Lao Ji get now?"
"Three hundred?"
"It doesn't matter how many there are, the important thing is that the dust storm has ended, why hasn't there been any news from Lao Ji."
"If you are not blind, you can contact us, your authority is higher than ours, and you can directly apply for satellite communication resources."
"Okay, I'll get in touch, just to tell him about our good news."
The blind man contacted the old man in his mouth, but the communication was not connected at the first time, and the relevant communication personnel in the command center of Base 6 explained the reason.
"Major Ji Xinghe is luring the Imperial Mecha Corps that is pursuing him to assemble, and there is already a space battleship to support, if we can get the enemy to complete the assembly, we will provide fire support as soon as possible."
The people of the Xinghe team breathed a sigh of relief, and they suddenly remembered what Chen Xun had said two days ago: Ji Xinghe is already an ace mecha warrior, which is different.
"And how many gold stars does our captain get now?"
The communications officer did not answer directly, but said: "All of you have Venus combined, just right. ”
The sum of all of them?
The first to calculate it turned out to be Andre, who said that he was mentally deficient: "246? No, there were so many old men before, and it can't be that a single Imperial Mecha hasn't been broken in the past two days. ”
Others also think it's impossible, judging from Ji Xinghe's combat effectiveness and previous achievements, how can it be that he hasn't gotten Venus in two days.
Su Chuanyun suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Andre, you really have a defective intelligence, you only count the seven of us, and you don't count the new brothers?" All of them are first-class mecha warriors, and each of them has at least ten gold stars. ”
Eight people, at least ten each, how many are that?
The blind man and the others all looked at the new team members.
Xiao Fulai was the first to speak: "I'm eleven." ”
Li Lehai: "I'm ten." ”
