Chapter 582: The Real Goal
While the Independence Regiment was charging, the Federation's long-range firepower was constantly in support.
With the help of mecha perspectives, as well as military satellites, high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and ultra-long-range radars, etc., those Imperial firepower output platforms and combat units, as long as they appear within the range of reconnaissance and detection, or fire at independent regiments, the Federation can determine their precise coordinates at the first time, and then carry out ruthless firepower strikes.
The Empire's anti-missile weapon system, because of the lack of air supremacy, did not have a high success rate of interception, and could only be resisted with the help of the superiority of the bunker.
In the eyes of the Empire, the Federation's firepower quota is far inferior to theirs, and as long as it survives for a while and defeats the Independent Regiment, the Federation will suffer heavy losses due to this very reckless battle.
But the Federation firepower from all sides of the sky seemed to be endless today, and there was a feeling of saturated coverage strike.
Because of this battle, the Western Theater is ready to knock out the one-month firepower quota, and even more will be defeated.
Similarly, the Federation's long-range fire support for the Western Theater of Operations has a sense of disregard for the cost.
The independent regiment has great strategic value for the Federation to kill through this canyon, even the independent regiment has not broken a single imperial mecha, and even lost more than half of it in the process of charging, as long as the independent regiment can successfully pass through this central canyon, it is an indisputable success.
The key lies in the location of the Empire's jump base, just as the empire once wanted to obtain the exact coordinates of the Federation's bases six and five at any cost.
It is said that it is the era when mecha is king, but what can really be decided is still a nuclear weapon similar to Xiao Yin Wan.
And in order to maximize the power of nuclear weapons, the significance of the precise coordinates of the target is too great.
How could the most important jump bases, which had known for a long time that the Federation had nuclear weapons, not have the ability to defend against nuclear strikes?
Under the fire bombardment of the Empire, under the cover of the Federation's firepower, the Independent Regiment continued to advance in the canyon like a torrent of metal.
The second line of defense arranged by the Empire, like the previous first line of defense, only part of the troops were attacked by the Independent Regiment, and those who wanted to block the direction of the Independent Regiment only had a face-to-face with the Independent Regiment, and they could only see the orange-red dust raised by the Independent Regiment.
The chase begins.
The mecha corps that had been killed through the first line of defense before had been in the process of pursuit, and because of the obstruction of the second line of defense, they had not been able to catch up with the independent regiment, but they had already completed the convergence with the mecha corps of the second line of defense.
The storm is coming again.
"Seventy-five kilometers."
"Prepare for battle."
The Independent Regiment, which had reached the middle of the canyon, encountered a third temporary line of defense organized by the Empire in the course of being pursued.
Compared with the previous two lines of defense, this line of defense has a more comprehensive deployment of troops, although the number of mechs has not increased significantly because the independent regiment's actions are too sudden and there is no time to mobilize more.
However, the deployment of troops that cooperate with mecha operations can bring great trouble to the independent regiment.
If it is a defense line composed of pure mechas, with the combat power of an independent regiment, it can be easily penetrated, and then rely on the advantage of speed to open a certain distance.
However, it is much more difficult for non-mecha combat units to kill and penetrate, such as the movable fortress-type firepower output platform, compared to the protective armor used by mechas, the outer protective armor used by this fortress is weaker by more than one level under the same thickness.
But the problem is that they can be described as fortresses, and the protective armor is simply too thick.
Not mentioning the thickness and only talking about the strength of the alloy is a hooligan's behavior.
Even if it is ordinary pig iron, if the thickness can reach tens of meters, the nuclear bomb will not be able to penetrate it.
Although the weapons of the independent regiment are all made of tungsten steel gold, the armor-piercing ability is unparalleled, and as the main weapon for mechas, the length is generally more than three meters.
Combined with the power of the mech's core engine, it is theoretically possible to easily break through the outer armor of these fortresses.
But breaking through does not mean that it can be destroyed, compared to breaking the armor of the mecha, you can directly use the weapon to penetrate its cockpit to achieve breakthrough, and those weapons that pierce the fortress, how can it be so easy to kill the imperial soldiers inside?
In the process of attacking the fortress, the mecha's mobility ability is equivalent to disappearing for a short time, and after becoming a target-like existence, how can those forces of the empire let go of the opportunity to break through?
Before the Independence Regiment and the Third Line of Defense met head-on, the Federation's firepower was already in place.
Ji Xinghe's special weapon 'Washing the Ground', after being judged by the command and confirmed by Ji Xinghe, was also used on this battlefield.
The third line of defense was in an instant, and the man-made dust storm appeared again.
"Follow me."
After breaking through the second line of defense, Ji Xinghe, who returned to the team again, gave a clear order, and the distance between the many mechs of the independent regiment became closer in an instant.
Just like when there is a traffic jam on the Azure Star, the mechs are like cars stuck together, with a seemingly slow but fast speed, in a very strange way in the man-made dust storm, completing another sense of killing.
They did break more than a dozen imperial mechas, but almost all of these more than ten imperial mechas were broken by Ji Xinghe, a few were broken by Qin Tong, Su Chuanyun, and Harris, and the other mecha warriors of the independent regiment, even if they were crippled, left-handed, and Jiang Yun, did not make a move in the process.
Once you make a move, you really can't keep up.
It's not that a few of them can't keep up, it's that their players can't keep up with them.
Rao so, after passing through the third line of defense of the empire, the independent regiment still suffered losses.
The seven formation-breaking mechs failed to keep up with the team, and disappeared forever in the man-made dust storm that would soon dissipate.
No one was sad, not even angry or anything like that.
People like Ji Xinghe who joined the army halfway can get used to sacrifice, and they who are professional soldiers, after participating in the war for many years on another planet, how can they behave irrationally because of the sacrifice of their teammates?
This is related to the challenge of Su Chuanyun that must be completed to join the independent regiment, and it is also directly related to the fact that the independent regiment has changed several rounds of blood in the past three years, and the extremely high sacrifice rate has become famous in the army.
When they chose to join the independent regiment, they were all ready to sacrifice, and they were also ready to see their comrades sacrifice.
Two hundred and ninety-four mechs, after breaking through the third line of defense, began to increase in speed again.
In this area, the layout of the Empire's defense line can be said to be layered, and it can even be said that from here to the east-west area forty kilometers away, it is all the defense line of the Empire.
However, the defensive lines laid out in advance are all focused, and it is impossible for the Empire to have its troops densely spread in an area of up to forty kilometers, because this area is very wide and wide, and it is impossible to transport hundreds of millions of orangutans with the Jump Gate.
With the help of the Federation's air supremacy, as well as the information confessed by the prisoners such as Dongguo Cilian before, as well as the information observed during the march of the Independent Regiment, etc......
Based on his intuition, Ji Xinghe chose a path of charge that no one but him could anticipate in advance.
The positions defended by a large number of Imperial heavy troops or heavy weapons were directly avoided by the Independent Regiment, and combined with the suppression of the Federation's firepower, they once again marched a distance of about ten kilometers.
"Sixty-five kilometers."
This is the true hinterland of the empire in the Warscar Canyon war zone, and the density of the defensive line has increased again, and even Ji Xinghe will not be able to lead the team to avoid it as before.
Because there is no way to avoid it.
"I'll remember your names."
Ji Xinghe's voice sounded in the communication channel of the independent regiment.
When he gave the order to assemble and begin the charge, he said only one sentence, which was succinct, clean and full of power: combat objectives, kill through the canyon.
And now, he's rambling.
"I'll take you home."
"I will tell everyone in the world that this is not the most glorious moment for our independent regiment."
"It's not the most glorious moment of your life."
"I will be in the ruins of the Imperial Palace on the Imperial Star, with tungsten steel gold as the monument and the name of the Heroic Spirit as the text."
"Let our glory be remembered forever."
The mecha warriors of the Independent Regiment, who are extremely strong in spirit and will, are difficult to be moved by some words, especially these words are in the style of the middle two, like lines that forcibly fan love in the stream.
But because the people who said these words were Ji Xinghe, the Ji Xinghe who was fighting side by side with them, not a group of people who sat in the sky and treated them as numbers.
So, their fanatical state was ignited.
"All of them, ready to fight."
Qin Tong's shout sounded after Ji Xinghe's words.
Su Chuanyun followed, as if he had always needed to do and wanted to do in the limited cluster operations of the Independent Regiment in the past three years.
Shout out.
"In the name of the galaxy!"
"Invincible!"
When the people shouted, the battle finally began.
The quantity and quality of the Imperial mecha on the fourth line of defense have all improved significantly, and the Federation's long-range fire support has not broken up their defensive formations.
If there is no way to avoid it, then fight.
Ji Xinghe is in the lead, and there is no ape to stop.
The mecha warriors of the independent regiment also burst out with the most powerful combat power in their lives, and the performance of the mountain slashing armor and the formation breaking armor was brought into full play by them.
So it was only a matter of time before the fourth line of defense of the empire was penetrated, but for the independent regiment, the most lacking thing in today's battle plan was time.
"Report, the Anti-Galaxy Corps has retreated from the battlefield of the Mountain of the Gods."
The Nantianmen Command received this news, which made everyone nervous, and before this news appeared, although they were very worried about the state of the independent regiment, they were not worried about the safety of Ji Xinghe at all.
Because the Anti-Galaxy Corps is not in the Battle Scar Canyon Theater.
Without the anti-galaxy, who in the empire can stop the Ji galaxy?
But now it's different, the anti-Galaxy Corps chose to retreat without hesitation when they gained an advantage on the battlefield of the Gods Mountain, and the purpose is self-evident.
"Colonel Kedilin and Colonel Jackson have applied for support from the Aquapes Space Battleship, and they are to carry out orbital airborne combat tactics to support General Ji Xinghe and the Independent Regiment."
The anti-galaxy legion that appeared on the battlefield of the Mountain of the Gods was targeted by the Bald Eagle Independent Regiment under the command of Kadilin and Jackson.
When the Anti-Galaxy Legion suddenly retreated, how could it be that Cadilin and the others could not figure out the situation?
And in the face of such an application, Yin vanovic refused without hesitation.
"If they board the Aquamarine Ape Space Battleship, and the Anti-Galaxy Corps uses the Jump Gate Device to return to the battlefield of the Gods Mountain, who will stop them?"
"Colonel Han Li's Independent Regiment."
"Can you determine where the Anti-Galaxy Legion will appear on the battlefield of the Mountain of the Gods? Can Han Li's independent regiment be in place as soon as possible? If the support is not in place, how many casualties can the anti-galaxy corps bring us? How many important positions did we destroy? ”
There are too many combat areas in the battlefield of the Mountain of the Gods, and the two independent regiments are simply not enough, and the fifth independent regiment formed by the Federation, most of the time and mechas, is mainly to support the battlefield of the Mountain of the Gods.
And now, the fifth independent regiment has been disabled, which is why after the anti-galaxy corps appeared on the battlefield of Zhongshen Mountain before, Yin Wanovich agreed to Ji Xinghe's battle plan.
"The operational goal of containing the anti-galaxy has been achieved, let Ji Xinghe retreat with the independent regiment."
Yovanovich's order, when it was passed to the Separate Regiment, did not receive a response as it should be.
Ji Xinghe didn't say anything, just led the independent regiment to break through the fourth line of defense of the empire, and then continued to move forward.
At this time, Ji Xinghe can finally be as 'willful' as before, if before starting the battle, Nantianmen can threaten him with no support and no cooperation, then now, he can threaten Nantianmen without retreating.
Seeing that the independent regiment with only two hundred and seventy-two mechs left continued to move forward in the battle scar canyon, Yin Wanovich and many others could only forget the retreat order he had just given and continue to spare no effort to support the independent regiment.
Seven space warships were mobilized to the sky above the location of the Independent Regiment, and three combat formations of attack individual starships had already flown over the battle-scar canyon and inflicted considerable casualties on the Imperial forces.
All kinds of orbital ballistic missile launch platforms in orbit have been activated, and the expensive missiles have been bombarded into the battle scar canyon as if they were not paying for money, and the attack coordinates are all in front of the independent regiment's travel route.
Paving the way with missiles.
The Independent Regiment successfully reached the fifth temporary line of defense of the Empire, and the difference in the number of enemy forces was very large, but the advantage was in the Independent Regiment.
The Western Theater Command and the Nantianmen Command all made the judgment that the independent regiment could penetrate this imperial defense line.
But as soon as it appeared, someone exclaimed.
"The Anti-Galactic Corps has appeared."
On the large screen, you can clearly see the blue light released when the jump gate is activated, and you can see the anti-galaxy corps that emerged from it and assembled behind the fifth line of defense.
People still believe that the Independence Regiment can penetrate the fifth line of defense of the Empire, but what about after that?
The strength of the anti-galaxy corps, from the veterans of the independent regiment three years ago, is enough to show that there is not one out of ten who were beaten.
Blind, Andre, Deaf, Crippled, Chu Feng, Zhang Ji, Liu Junle......
They are all ace mechwarriors, but they have all been sacrificed, all because of the Empire's anti-galactic legions.
The last time the anti-galaxy army was slaughtered by Ji Xinghe, it was really strong and strong, and it was now in their occupation zone.
"It's too late to retreat."
When someone speaks out with regret, sadness is already spreading in the heart.
With the addition of the Anti-Galaxy Corps, Ji Xinghe wants to lead the independent regiment to turn around and kill again, but the difficulty is much greater than before.
The previous defense lines were only destroyed by them, not by them, and those remnants of the army can't actually be described as remnants, because there are too many of them.
Only a small part of the independent regiments with the goal of killing and penetrating were really broken.
In addition to the pursuers behind them, the empire has also completed the encirclement behind them in the process of charging and killing the independent regiment.
So, can the Ji Xinghe when the king returns only shine once?
Inside the communication channel of the independent regiment.
Ji Xinghe spoke calmly.
"Su Chuanyun, prove it to me."
Then he broke away from the Separate Regiment, fought through the fifth line of defense on his own, and charged alone.
Target, anti-galactic corps.
That's what he's really aiming for.
