The fighting in the Western Theater was only halted for half a day.

When night fell again, the main Imperial forces occupying the defensive line of Outpost 1842 launched a harassment war against Outpost 1840 with even more ferocity than the previous night.

It's almost like a formal offense.

There's really nothing to say about the reason, if anything, it's that Outpost 1840, which was still occupied by the Empire this morning, has now been reclaimed by the Federation.

Some people in the Western Theater Command previously thought that there was no need to retake Outpost 1840 at this time, because half a day was simply not enough time for them to repair all the defensive fortifications.

When the Empire occupied Outpost 1840, although the relevant facilities had been repaired, it could almost be said that a complete line of defense had been created, and the retreat was very hasty, and there was no time to do more damage.

But this is the era when firepower is king, and there are countless high-energy and high-explosive weapons of destruction, and the defense line of Outpost 1840 must be repaired by the Federation.

In addition to the firepower platforms used to defend against the attack, there are also posts that can accommodate more troops that need to be repaired, which is extremely detrimental to the defense if these cannot be completed.

If you stay at Outpost 1838, the distance has become longer, and the Empire's attack at night is unlikely to be so ferocious, or even not.

Although the Imperial orangutans are resistant to the cold, once the marching distance is extended, they need to carry more oxygen, and the distance between Outposts 1842 and 1838 is enough for them to dare not attack, given the reserves of individual oxygen supply devices commonly used by the Empire.

But this time, without waiting for Ji Xinghe to speak, Davis issued an order to recover and defend Outpost 1840.

"We didn't dare to fight when the independent regiment was there, but when the independent regiment left, what should we fight? Retreat and retreat, there is always a time when there is no way to retreat. We have an advantage now, so we have to expand the advantage as much as possible, seize the opportunity to regain more outposts, or continue to retreat, I choose the former. ”

This is Davis's summary answer when facing the inquiry of the Battle Scar Canyon Theater Command, and there is no need to mention the specific advantages, and the people in the headquarters have already seen the previous results.

Not to mention Ji Xinghe's night attack with Kedilin, just to say that the three operations of the Independent Regiment in one day and one night have already brought a very obvious advantage to the Western Theater.

In the first battle, in the pursuit of 600 Imperial mechs, the Independent Regiment defeated 143 planes and defeated the remaining 457 planes.

In the second battle, in the face of the Empire's night attack, the Independent Regiment broke through two hundred and seven planes and held the defense line of Outpost 1838.

In the third battle, in the face of 800 imperial mechas, the independent regiment achieved the rarest total annihilation of mecha field team battles, and because of the support of Ji Xinghe, the commander of the independent regiment, the mecha corps composed of the second and third armies of the Western Theater won the mecha corps composed of more than 500 mechas.

Not counting the breakdowns in the Ji Xinghe support operations and the breakdowns in the night raid operations, only counting the three days that the independent regiment came to the Western Theater, the cumulative number of broken planes has reached 1,150.

It is true that the Empire has more mechs than the Federation, and the number of mecha warriors is much more than that of the Federation, but it is not endless.

Counting the number of Imperial mechs destroyed in the Western Theater in the past three days, the Empire has lost more than 1,700 mechs.

Moreover, there are more than 900 Imperial mechs that can be repaired, transformed, and used by the Federation's mecha warriors, but the Empire has not been able to capture even a single Federation mecha.

Of course, those Federation mechs that have been damaged and damaged can also be repaired and put into combat again. There are a large number of mecha warriors who have sacrificed, but there are more than 200,000 mecha warriors in the federation who have no mecha available, so at this stage, the federation has never lacked mecha warriors.

Only mechs are missing.

In the case of one side and the other, even if the casualties in the Western Theater are not small, the advantage is extremely obvious.

As a result, the order to occupy Outpost 1840 was executed, and the order to hold this line of defense was also given by the command.

A total of sixteen mechs were destroyed and damaged by the independent regiment, and all the combatable mechs, including Ji Xinghe, the corps commander, all participated in the first night of defense of the defense line of Outpost 1840, which was their third night in the western theater of operations.

The Empire wanted to replicate the objectives of the Independent Regiment last night and stormed the outpost 1840 defense line to wreak havoc on logistics storage.

The independent regiment, which had only eighty-eight mechs left, shouldered the most difficult defensive combat mission, and they held it, and no mecha in the independent regiment was broken or damaged that night.

When the sky was bright again, the Empire, while withdrawing to Line 1842, nervously arranged key positions such as artillery positions, logistics warehouses, and headquarters to guard them with heavy troops.

The level of tension is higher than that of the people who come to the defense line of the Western Theater of Operations at night.

The reason is simple, they don't have an independent regiment of Ji Xinghe.

But this time, the Independence Regiment did not attack their positions, as they did yesterday morning. However, they had to deploy heavy troops, consuming defensive resources in vain.

This is the benefit of having a deterrent force.

…………

"Ji Xinghe still has his soldiers, and the limit is like this."

In the Imperial Headquarters of the Warscar Canyon, Yinan made a judgment.

After losing a lot of mechs and troops, he felt that he had found the limit of the independent regiment, and he came up with an idea.

"Are you sure?" Ai Dakang said with a smile: "I also thought a few times before that I had found the limit of Ji Xinghe, but the truth is that I was wrong every time. ”

Yinan was a little surprised when he heard this, Ai Dakang, who likes to be called a general, can almost be said to never make a mistake, even if it is really wrong, it is impossible to say it so easily.

For example, in the first live capture operation of Idakang against Ji Xinghe, while sending six duke-level mechas, he also sent a large number of mecha to fight together, as well as a miniaturized jump gate device that is also very precious to the empire, but the result is equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army.

Of course, the Federation used nuclear weapons in that war, so Idacom didn't make a mistake, and from a big picture point of view, he did it.

Because the empire used nuclear weapons once, the Federation also had a chance to use nuclear weapons, and it was much better to use them on Ji Xinghe than on the head of the Imperial Headquarters in Warscar Canyon.

Another example is the Ji Xinghe challenge in the Battle of Vulture Mountain, it is precisely because Idacom believes that Ji Xinghe cannot complete this challenge, so the empire agreed to it when it has a clear advantage.

As a result, Ji Xinghe was completed.

The number of Imperial mecha that were destroyed within the three-hour challenge time limit was not large, and at the end of the time limit for picking up the mountain, facing four duke-level mechs and three marquis-level mechas, it created a record that shocked the empire.

A large number of regular-level mecha were broken, and the combat power of the marquis and duke was broken, which was the real reason for the defeat of the empire in the Battle of Vulture Mountain.

But let any orangutan in the empire review this battle, and on the premise that there is an order to capture Ji Xinghe alive, it is impossible to refuse Ji Xinghe's challenge.

So, it's not Idacom's fault.

"The general has not made mistakes, I may have made mistakes, but with the presence of the generals, I will not make mistakes."

Yinan's response made Idakang smile even more happily.

Then it asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Yinan groaned slightly before speaking.

"I originally wanted to use the breach of the second line of defense as a bait to make Ji Xinghe fall into a certain death situation, of course, I will not kill him. But since the general has given me a reminder, then I will use the second line of defense to be breached, to consume the power of Ji Xinghe, and to consume the power that can support him. In the end, the third line of defense was broken as a bait to capture Ji Xinghe alive. ”

Idacom continued to smile and ask, "Is it worth it?" ”

It was well aware that the defense line that Yinan was talking about was breached, and that their first line of defense, that is, the defense line composed of the original imperial forces of Outpost 1840, was breached, which was very different.

The first line of defense that had been breached, although a large number of mechs had been damaged, nearly 150,000 regular troops had been saved, as well as the same amount of war materials. In addition to oxygen, which was very valuable and important at the time, it was the cheapest war materiel afterwards.

An empire with a jump gate is so capricious.

The breaching of the second and third lines of defense mentioned by Yinan means that a total of 500,000 troops, including the nearly 150,000 troops retreating from the first line of defense, and the same amount of combat materials, will all be wiped out by the Federation.

For the Empire, this amount of troops is of course nothing, but the resources consumed to send so many troops to the alien planet cannot be ignored by the Empire.

Especially for Yinan, the imperial general in the Warscar Canyon Theater, if it can't be replenished in time after losing so many troops and materials, it may even lose the Warscar Canyon that the empire has paid a huge price for and is about to completely occupy.

"It's worth it."

When Yinan replied, his eyes looked at the sky in a certain direction with reverence, and he was separated by a wall in the command headquarters, and he couldn't actually see the sky.

But it's like seeing a planet in the galaxy where a star is located, or even a building towering into the sky on that planet.

"What Your Majesty wants to do, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it."

"That's a good point."

Ai Dakang had already begun to applaud when he spoke, and then reminded: "Ji Xinghe has more than a hundred marquis-level mechas, he actually has three hundred. Moreover, it can be transferred at any time. ”

Yinan was surprised, it didn't know how Idacom knew the news, but it was very sensible and didn't ask.

"Judging from the combat effectiveness of those soldiers piloting the Marquis-level mecha of Ji Xinghe, it is even worse than our Earl-level. If it's two hundred, it's not a big problem, if it's more than two hundred...... Great General. ”

Idacom nodded with a smile and said, "More than two hundred, I'll give you the anti-galaxy team." ”

"Thank you, General."

With the support of Aidakon, Yinan began to put its ideas into action.

The first step is to withdraw troops from the original second line of defense, the current first line of defense.

…………

Ji Xinghe, who was repairing the mecha, received the news.

"The withdrawal of troops is normal, and they have amassed more than two hundred and fifty thousand troops on the line of outpost 1842. A large amount of survival supplies are being consumed every moment, which has exceeded the capacity limit of a defensive line. ”

Chen Xun stood beside Ji Xinghe, watching Ji Xinghe's actions in repairing the mecha, and had a feeling of not being aware of the Ming calendar.

Although he didn't understand the repair of mechas, it was another miracle that he could repair six mountain-cutting mechs by himself in ten hours.

The Western Theater was not unwilling to transfer some mechanic troops to Ji Xinghe, but as soon as the broken and damaged mountain-cutting mecha was sent back, it arranged a luxurious mechanic corps.

But Ji Xinghe rejected the kindness of the Western Theater, and the reason also made it impossible for the Western Theater to argue: I will repair it myself, you will repair other mechas, and if you are idle, then repair and transform more imperial mechas.

As a result, all the mechanics who came to support the Western Theater left.

"According to the prediction of the Western Theater Command, the imperial strength on 1842 should remain about 150,000, and 100,000 will retreat to 1844 and 1845."

Chen Xun was not worried that the sound of his speech would affect Ji Xinghe's work in repairing mechas.

He had become accustomed to discussing military situations and combat plans with Ji Xinghe, who seemed to not need to rest and maintained high-intensity maintenance operations, when everyone else in the independent regiment was resting.

"In 1844 and 1845, the two outposts were located in a double canyon terrain, forming horns with each other, forming a line of defense. The empire chose to withdraw its troops to this line of defense, in addition to sharing the pressure of 1842's troops to survive, but also to make us afraid of dividing our troops to fight. ”

"The terrain of the double canyons, even if we defeat the entire defense line, we can only continue to march from one of the canyons, and their reinforcements can march from the other canyon at any time, and go around our rear to form a flanking attack on us. If we divide the troops...... The Western Theater Command was unable to mobilize so many troops in a short period of time. ”

"Time is of the essence for us, because it is now certain that the other main force that the Empire has mobilized is Base Five. We may need to return to Base Five, and by the time we leave, the Imperial forces on this side of the Scar Canyon will definitely counterattack the Western Theater. ...... over there in the Eastern Theater"

Chen Xun said a lot, but he didn't sum it up much: the independent regiment stayed in the Battle Scar Canyon, and the eastern and western theaters could launch an active attack on the empire and constantly regain lost territory. If the independent regiment returns to the No. 5 base theater, the No. 5 base will be able to be saved, but the eastern and western theaters of the battle scar canyon will return to the previous situation again.

Ji Xinghe, who had finally repaired the seventh mountain-cutting mecha, finally spoke after a short break.

"Bring a hundred planes over the mountain, and everyone in the independent regiment,"

There are more than 100 people left in the No. 5 base of the independent regiment, but Ji Xinghe only asked 100 planes to be transferred over the mountain, which is enough to show that Ji Xinghe has been able to calmly accept the sacrifice of people in the independent regiment.

Chen Xun's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, and at the same time, he frowned. Unfortunately, his facial nerves were damaged, and this expression was not visible at all, only he knew that he was frowning.

"Han Li is indeed very strong, but he is not you, even if he is given a hundred slashing mountains, he can still select a mecha warrior from the fifth base to temporarily drive the slashing mountain, and he can't bring out another independent regiment."

Ji Xinghe said calmly: "I'll bring it myself." ”

"The solo starship?" Chen Xun, who was frowning, was still expressionless, which made his tone a little weird: "Yes, you can use that individual starship to run back and forth, but what if the two fronts start a war at the same time?" Lao Ji, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. ”

"I told you so." Ji Xinghe began to repair the mecha again, and he said, "Believe in science. ”

Want to believe in science?

Why are you embarrassed to say this, you are the most unscientific person in the world.

Chen Xun asked, "Let's be direct." ”

Ji Xinghe, who was facing away from Chen Xun repairing the mecha, his voice was calm.

"Remote Sensing Piloting Technology, Xingyue."

Chen Xun's eyes widened, and when he didn't have time to argue how unreliable this technique was, he heard Ji Xinghe's reminder: "Don't tell anyone yet, if you do, it may not work." ”
