Base No. 6 had already entered the highest level of combat readiness when the Independent Regiment officially entered the war.

People actually have a premonition about the sudden war.

Some are because Ji Rong Xinyue captured two imperial lords alive, some because Ji Rong Xinyue broke through thirty marquis armors, and some because when a large-scale war broke out in the Mountains of the Gods, Ji Xinghe was the only one in the second war zone to support, and he was driving the mountain slashing armor instead of the Xingyue armor.

Whatever the reason, when the hunch became a reality, people eliminated all the distractions in their minds and went all out to enter the state of preparation.

"Transfer? No, I don't transfer. ”

"I don't transfer either, although I'm a scientific researcher, I also have professional military training, and I also shoot. Bullets fired by children can kill orangutans, and mine certainly can. ”

"There's no need to waste time, one more person is alone, and if the Empire fights, I'm willing to stay inside the base and fight them to the death." Of course, I don't believe that they can defeat the Independent, and there is no force that can defeat the Independent. ”

"Weapons, the most important thing you need to do now is to give me weapons, not talk nonsense with me here to get me to transfer."

"You want me to be a deserter? Hehe, you're insulting me! ”

“……”

There are a large number of non-combatants in Base 6, and according to the relevant rules, they must be transferred from Base 6 as soon as possible to avoid huge losses caused by the capture of Base 6 due to the failure of defense, especially the scientific researchers, medical personnel, and technical troops.

But when they received the order to assemble in the parking area and prepare to transfer, they all chose to refuse.

Qiao Menglian was very relieved and moved because of this, and there was a kind of anxious irritability.

"I'm scolding them now, but there's still a chance to get most of them to be transferred, and the Ping'an Space Battleship has every chance to take nearly 10,000 people. As long as these people are let out, all of us are combatants, even if it's ......"

His eager words suddenly paused, looked at Chen Xun and Li Zhengfan and asked, "Are you sure that the empire will not choose to attack our base, but will go after the independent regiment?" ”

Looking at the eyes of the two at the same time, most of them were still focused on Chen Xun, compared to Li Zhengfan, Qiao Menglian actually trusted Chen Xun's judgment more.

Not only Qiao Menglian, but many people are like this. Although Li Zhengfan's past is extremely brilliant, he has also committed 'betrayal of the Federation', and the main reason why the second war zone took such a big risk this time is because of Li Zhengfan's arrival.

Qiao Menglian had every reason to believe that Li Zhengfan would ignore the survival of Base No. 6 for the sake of his strategic intentions.

Li Zhengfan, who noticed Qiao Menglian's eyes, did not speak, but looked at the big screen in the command center, he had already ended the call with Tu Yuan, and determined the relevant tactical plan.

All that needs to be done now is to wait for the Empire's choice.

Chen Xun was also looking at the big screen, and the picture displayed on it was the combat picture that was delayed for some time and transmitted back by the independent regiment.

The Independent Regiment, which implements the No. 1 non-standard tactics, has already destroyed thousands of Imperial Mechas, leaving only more than 500 Imperial Mecha troops in the first round, and the other Imperial Arms that cooperate with the Imperial Mecha Force have also been completely destroyed by a team separated from the Independent Regiment.

The record is brilliant.

But the situation is not encouraging.

Because the remaining remnants of the empire, most of them are noble mechas, and the absolute main force of them is more than two hundred marquis armor, and those noble mecha mecha that led the empire's regular mecha legion before have almost no damage, and they are composed of earl armor, marquis armor, and duke armor respectively.

Moreover, with the development of the war, they have completed their assembly, and it is impossible for the independent regiment to take advantage of the enemy's scattered formation caused by the pursuit of Ji Rong Xinyue as before, which is no longer possible.

In a frontal team battle, in the face of such an elite Imperial mecha force, no matter how capable the independent regiment is, it will inevitably be damaged.

Are the independent regiments afraid?

Of course, they are not afraid, but their mecha energy is already insufficient, and the enemy army still has a large number of reinforcements, which are already close to the battlefield they are in, and they may appear at any time.

If you continue to fight at this time, the end will inevitably be annihilation.

"Retreated, report, the Independent Regiment retreated, Colonel Ji Rong Xinyue killed through the Imperial Anti-Galaxy Corps, and completed the convergence with the Independent Regiment, and they retreated together."

When the report sounded, the picture displayed on the big screen changed, and the assembled independent regiment began to retreat at full speed in the direction of the sixth base in the second canyon.

The Imperial Mechs followed suit and began to pursue.

It was only at this time that Chen Xun answered Qiao Menglian's question just now: "We can't be sure, but to be reasonable, this is the most likely choice that the empire will make." Annihilating our Independent Regiment would be more valuable to them than the capture of Base Six. ”

Qiao Menglian had already prepared to ask again: "Then what if the empire chooses to attack our base and force the independent regiment to come back?" ”

"Then we will defend until the independent regiment completes the redress, and the enemy army is annihilated by the inside and outside."

Judging from the defensive weapon arrangement of Base No. 6, even if there are thousands of Imperial mechs forcibly attacking, they can hold on for a while, so Chen Xun's statement is no problem.

But the problem is that if the empire is in the process, it will accurately determine the coordinates of Base 6, and even the location of the entrances and exits.

The ensuing long-range fire attack would make Base Six completely meaningless.

Not only today's battle, even if the second theater of today's battle was victorious, the Gods Mountain Theater was also victorious, as long as the two Imperial Jump bases in the Second Canyon and the Gods Mountain Theater were not captured, the empire would have the ability to launch a saturation long-range fire attack on the sixth base at any time.

Qiao Menglian, as the commander of Base No. 6, wanted to say these words in his heart, but when he saw that Chen Xun had turned around and walked outside the command center, he couldn't say anything.

He knew what Chen Xun was going to do, although he didn't think that Chen Xun's combat effectiveness could have much significance in today's war, but this spirit infected him.

What do you think, Ji Xinghe is now the commander of the second theater, and the No. 6 base is under the management of Ji Xinghe, so why should he worry about it?

"I gave the empire three choices." Li Zhengfan suddenly said loudly: "But in fact, the empire has only one choice, and that is to pursue the independent regiment. ”

Qiao Meng was silent for three seconds before he asked, "What should the independent regiment do?" No matter how strong they are, they can't fight when their mechs are running low on energy. Can't count on Qin Tong and a few of them to annihilate nearly two thousand imperial mechas, right? ”

The independent regiment does not need to worry about the mecha energy problem in the short term, and there are only five mecha warriors, Qin Tong, Harris, Su Chuanyun, Cripple, and Ji Rongxinyue, because the energy core used by their mecha is a nuclear fusion reactor.

As soon as Qiao Menglian opened his mouth, he asked questions continuously: "Also, many of our mecha warriors have been in a critical state for a long time, even if the energy core can be replaced, how can their physical strength and mental will state be restored?" ”

Li Zhengfan didn't answer, a little nervous.

Qiao Menglian noticed the change in the information on the big screen, and he also became nervous, his fists clenched.

The Imperial mechs chasing the Independent Regiment did not choose to destroy the Federation Detection Eye on the path of the pursuit in order to be able to bite the Independent Regiment to the death, so their movements looked very clear in the command center of Base Six.

By this time, they had come to an area more than three kilometers wide, and the independent regiment they were pursuing was retreating at full speed against the cliffs on the side of the second canyon.

The fork in the road created by the change in terrain is right ahead.

In this area, if they choose to target Base Six, they can simply abandon the pursuit of the Independent Regiment and turn to the road near the cliff on the other side and start the march, as it will be closer to Base Six from the other side.

The Empire had attacked Base Six in the past, and had reached a position three kilometers from the exact coordinates of Base Six, so it was impossible for them not to know which road was the closest to Base Six.

But they did not turn.

The Empire's reinforcements soon appeared in the spotlight of Base Six, and they also did not turn, chasing after the Imperial mechs they were trying to support, as well as the direction of the retreat of the Independent Regiment.

Li Zhengfan suddenly laughed, without expression.

Judging by the current situation, the empire did indeed make the only choice he had envisioned.

"I like what General Tu Yuan said, what the Independent Regiment fights is a battle that our other mecha corps can't fight."

Hearing this important and unimportant, something like nonsense answer, Qiao Menglian looked at the other corner of the big screen.

The information displayed on it is that the federal mercenary group is about to land in the Second Canyon, and more than 2,000 mechs are flying in multiple spaceships, giving people a feeling of being one after the other.

But their combat effectiveness is really worrying.

Hopefully, they can get some of the Imperial mechs to come back to help, so that the Independent Regiment will still have to fight.

As a commander, Qiao Menglian has done everything he can do in this battle, and he has not had a chance to do some of the work that should be done, and now all he can do is wait.

He suddenly envied Chen Xun a little, commanding when he should command, and fighting when he should go to battle.

He was still a little envious of a mechanic like Shen Mu, at this time, Shen Mu had already set off with the mechanic team of Base No. 6 on the space battleship Ping'an, and they would arrive at an area in the direction of the retreat of the Independent Regiment in advance, and then risk their lives to restore the mecha of the Independent Regiment to their peak combat strength in the shortest possible time.

Their role in this battle far exceeded that of him, the commander of Base Six.

What he envies the most is Li Zhengfan, who can continue to make command decisions at this time, unlike a commander like him, except for the affairs of the base, the command authority and ability are not a little bit worse.

Can I go further?

No, the question should be asked, can your own abilities continue to improve?

Thinking of this, Qiao Menglian's gaze at Li Zhengfan became hot, and his best learning goal stood in front of him.

It's like Ji Xinghe, for mecha warriors, how could they miss such an opportunity?

"Pick up Admiral Tu Yuan." Li Zhengfan said: "The empire has made a choice, the retreat road map of the independent regiment has been sent, and we need the support of the troops along the blockade line along the way. ”

"Yes."

After Tu Yuan responded, he connected to the Nantianmen Headquarters again and asked for command authority.

Naturally, Ivanovic, who was already numb, would not refuse, and no matter what way he looked at it, he had no reason to refuse.

——

Woowoo......

When the sound like an air defense siren sounded, all the personnel moved within the federal blockade line, which was 537 kilometers away from Base 6 in a straight line and 120 kilometers away from the border of the Second War Zone.

After the order from Tu Yuan was issued, commanders at all levels began to convey and mobilize in an orderly manner.

"The Second Theater of Operations has suffered a ......"

After the situation is roughly explained.

The people didn't have time to cheer for the Independence Regiment's victory in defeating thousands of Imperial mechs, nor did they have time to be shocked by the news of the suspected existence of an Imperial Jump Base in the Second Canyon.

"Now, the Independent Regiment has retreated from the Second Gorge, and the Imperial Mecha Legion has chosen to pursue the Independent Regiment, and the direction of the retreat of the Independent Regiment is the blockade line where our department is located. Our mission is to give the Independent Regiment time to replace the mech's energy core at all costs. ”

The mission sounds simple, but the danger is so dangerous that everyone can hear it.

How could the Imperial mecha forces that could make the independent regiments choose to temporarily retreat from the front line be able to be stopped by the federal forces on a mere blockade line?

A few days ago, when they heard the news that Ji Rong Xinyue had captured the two Imperial Princes, some veterans with a keen sense of smell sensed that something was wrong and reminded the recruits to be mentally prepared to support the Second War Zone at any time.

But when the simple and cruel order does come, there are still a small number of people who show signs of emotional collapse.

When everyone was preparing for the battle, a strange voice sounded in the communication channel of one team.

From a recruit.

Although his voice changed a little at the moment due to emotional issues, the others could still hear who he was.

A few days ago, he said that he wanted to fight alongside Ji Xinghe, but now he ......

"Why can't it be supported by fire? We have so many missile launch bases, so many orbital missile launch platforms, and space warships, why can't we use fire support? ”

The captain did not get angry when he heard such a voice, but patiently explained.

"Because of the cover of the dust storm, our long-range firepower cannot accurately hit the target, and for the mecha with super defense, there is no lethality if it is not an absolutely accurate strike."

"What about nuclear weapons? We have nuclear weapons, so many Imperial mechs, nearly two thousand, and more than five hundred Marquis armor, why can't we use nuclear weapons? ”

"Because they chase the independent regiment too closely, if they use nuclear weapons, they will be injured by mistake."

"So, even if the people of the Independent Regiment can't be sacrificed, we can sacrifice?"

There was a sudden silence in the communication channel.

The captain was still not angry, and even laughed, and he asked softly, "How many Imperial mechs do you think we can take down with our strength?" ”

"A hundred? Fifty? Thirty? The recruit's voice became more and more angry: "We can't defeat many Imperial mechs, we will all die, why let us fight such an unprepared battle, why let us sacrifice for the Independent Regiment?" No, we are not sacrificed, we are killed by them, they are the ones who lead the enemy to us. ”

The captain sighed inwardly.

"You're right, in the face of a cluster charge of nearly two thousand Imperial mechas, we may only be able to defeat a few dozen of them, but think about it, how much combat power will the Imperial Legion lose for a few dozen mechs with nearly two thousand mechas?

So, who will deal with the imperial forces whose combat strength has not been affected?

Independent regiment! ”

The captain of the sentence by sentence, his tone gradually became stern.

"The Independent Regiment only has more than three hundred mechs, and they have already destroyed thousands of Imperial mechs, and their physical strength and mental will have been exhausted to the limit. But instead of a real retreat, they chose to continue the fight.

I don't expect them to die later, but I know that they will have people, and a lot of them, super mechfighters, even ace mechs.

So, you're wrong.

It's not that the Independence Regiment has harmed us, it's not that we have sacrificed for the Independence Regiment, but that in this war with the Empire, all of us must do our best.

The independent regiment has done its best, they are very tired, they have to rest and fight again, this time desperately.

We are desperate, not to create a desperate opportunity for the independent regiment, but to win! ”

The team's communications channel literally fell silent, even the recruit who had been emotionally broken by the sudden and knowing death of the battle.

The captain muttered briefly, then spoke again.

"I know you've all heard that before the battle that might be sacrificed begins, General Ji Xinghe will give his soldiers the opportunity not to fight.

But it's a pity that I'm not General Ji Xinghe, I worship him, but I don't recognize or even dislike his kindness.

Therefore, I will not give you the opportunity to choose to retreat, and you will not be able to retreat.

But I can give you another choice. ”

As he spoke, he had already walked in front of the recruit who had just asked the question, his hands naturally drooping, and he looked relaxed, like his brother-in-law who was meeting for the first time.

But the veteran next to him could see that the captain only needed less than a second to complete the action of drawing the gun and shooting.

He looked at the recruit, who couldn't see clearly because he was wearing a protective mask, and whispered in the communication channel.

"You can choose to disobey military orders like General Ji Xinghe, and then be killed by me in accordance with military law, and after you die, your reputation as a coward will be spread by me to the Azure Star.

You can also choose to fight alongside me, alongside the Independent Regiment. Finally, along with me, along with the mecha warriors who died in the Independent Regiment, they were sent back to the Azure Star by General Ji Xinghe and buried in the ...... destined to sound the cry of victory Valhalla! ”
