Chapter 848 If one person dies, everyone loses

The victory of the Galaxy team is not good news for the Federation, because the casualties are too serious.

Of course, there is a reason for Adakon to use nuclear weapons, but why didn't the Galaxy team use nuclear weapons?

Ji Xinghe is their nuclear weapon, the nuclear weapon of the Federation, at least in mecha warfare.

With the restoration of communication, the Galaxy team faced the Imperial Prince A team led by Ai Dakang, and the battle process from beginning to end was all informed by the headquarters.

In the face of one Emperor Armor and twenty-nine Prince Armor, after the nuclear explosion, only Ji Xinghe, Xingyue, Han Li, Jackson, Luo Wei, Qin Tong, Harris, Su Chuanyun, Cripple, Liu'er, Ying Luoqi, and the Xinghe team of Prisoner Xiyan were actually not much inferior in terms of numbers, because Ji Xinghe had already broken before the two sides officially started the war.

Moreover, it alone attracted the main force of the Prince A team, including Ai Dakang, one Imperial Armor and eleven Prince Armor.

Judging from the role that Ji Xinghe showed in this battle, it was not weaker than the tactical-level nuclear weapon that Idacom forcibly used at close range.

But the end of this battle was a crushing victory for the Galaxy team.

Counting Yu Ren, who had already died, in this battle alone, the number of ace mecha warriors who had fallen from the Federation had reached eighteen, and the number was close to two-thirds of the Federation's active ace mecha warriors.

Although they broke a total of twenty-nine Prince Armor, which is equivalent to killing twenty-nine ace-level mecha warriors of the Empire, no, according to the Prince Armor's target national soldier armor, they killed the Empire's equivalent of the Federation's second-level galaxy-level mecha warriors.

Therefore, judging from the comparison of casualties between the two sides, the victory of the Galaxy team and the Yu Ren team should not be called a miserable victory, but a big victory.

But such a big sacrifice is still something that people are unwilling to accept.

Eighteen Federation ace mecha warriors who piloted the national armor and the general armor respectively, combined with a certain amount of fire support, were even able to defeat the Imperial regular mecha legion with more than a thousand planes. The formation-breaking effect that can be achieved in long-term operations can reduce tens of thousands of casualties and hundreds of billions of firepower in the Federation.

Alone, people may be able to accept it, because there will always be casualties in war, and the fall of ace mechfighters is not uncommon. Compared to more than four years ago, the Federation's ace mecha warriors will be broken by the Empire's Duke Armor, and now they can sacrifice eighteen in exchange for breaking the Empire's twenty-nine Prince Armor, and have a great chance to complete the victory of the defeated Prince Armor, what is not satisfied?

Five years ago, such battles and victories could only exist in people's fantasies. This is without taking into account the advantages brought by the Galaxy Squad breaking through these Imperial Prince Armor and launching a general attack on the Imperial Jump Base in the Gods Mountain Theater.

But the problem is that there is a truth that has remained unchanged since ancient times - from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.

When Ji Rong Xinyue was in the second war zone, he broke through the five Imperial Prince Armor alone. When Ji Xinghe was in this battle, he alone broke half of the Imperial Prince Armor. When the past of the Galaxy Squad, there are records of I don't know how many times they have won in people's minds.

It's really hard for people to accept such a disastrous victory for the Galaxy team.

Many people think that this battle can actually be fought more beautifully, as long as the Federation is given more time to prepare, but ......

The discussion has not yet begun, because the battle is not over.

"How's Jackson doing?"

"A carrier-type individual starship has been dispatched to meet the response, and the specific situation is still uncertain."

Jackson, who was seriously injured to the point of dying, may become the nineteenth ace of the Federation to die in this battle, although he is a sub-galaxy-level mecha warrior, people are used to calling it an ace, or a half-step galaxy.

Of course, it could also be the twentieth or twenty-first.

"Han Li, what about them?"

"Neither physically nor mentally is in great shape, but they have a strong desire to go to war and are currently undergoing emergency repairs to their mech."

In the screen that appeared with the Q&A, the repair pods and maintenance mechs that arrived on the battlefield by airdrop were much more conspicuous than the Federation Sergeant-level mechs with obvious damage.

The liftable platform with multiple robotic arms looks larger than the mech when combined with the repair pod, and when it starts repair operations like a mechanic under the control of a mechanic, it looks even more exaggerated.

But it's actually a spectacle. Not to mention facing the advancing enemy mech, even if it is only the bombardment of cannonballs, this maintenance mecha can turn this maintenance mecha into wreckage. The only protective equipment for the mechanic on top of it is the induction helmet on his head, but this helmet similar to that used by mecha warriors cannot block the bombardment of artillery fire.

Moreover, at this time, the mechanic who was operating and repairing the mecha was wearing only a conventional protective suit, mainly aimed at the harsh environment of the alien planet, and had almost no protection in the face of attacks.

"That's Shen Mu?"

"Yes, it's Lieutenant Colonel Shen Mu."

Shen Mu, who was able to become a colonel a long time ago, is still a lieutenant colonel for some reason, but the level of the military rank does not affect his mechanical ability.

As the strongest mechanic in the Federation, the significance of his appearance on the battlefield is actually not great for others, because the mecha of the national sergeant level is really difficult to repair, and the difficulty is not at the technical level of the mechanic, mainly focusing on materials and tools.

Compared with the time saved by Shen Mu personally repairing the mecha on the battlefield, the risk that Shen Mu took was something that many people were unwilling to accept.

"Let him retreat."

“……”

Of course, this kind of order is impossible to execute, and Ji Xinghe and the people around Ji Xinghe have always had the bad habit of violating military orders. If it weren't for the fact that they were always able to bring victory to the Federation, the Independence Regiment would inevitably become a cancer group.

Shen Mu's reluctance to retreat actually didn't matter, Han Li's reluctance to retreat was very important.

After determining the attitude of Han Li and the others, and that their mecha could participate in the battle after emergency repairs, the Gods Mountain Command made arrangements for them as soon as possible - to return to the battle sequence of the Independent Regiment.

The Xinghe Independent Regiment and the Azure Independent Regiment, which have completed the orbital airborne, are in a state of fighting separately at this time, and they did not choose to support Ji Xinghe, because Ji Xinghe does not need their support, and Yang Antai still knows Ji Xinghe very well about this.

Ji Xinghe, who was piloting three princely armors at the same time, as long as he was surrounded by imperial mechs and conventional forces, he could call for fire support, including nuclear strikes, and naturally there was no need for corps-level mecha troops to fight side by side with him.

The main task of the two independent regiments is also to determine the exact coordinates of the entrance and exit of the Imperial Jump Base, but they cannot call in heavyweight fire support, so they can only advance step by step to fight in the occupied area of the Empire.

The Imperial Occupation Zone, which covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, is not only the entrance and exit of the jump base, but also all kinds of weapons and equipment arranged on the surface, cantonment posts, etc., which were difficult for the Federation to determine the cover of the entrance and exit of the jump base through aerial reconnaissance before.

Now, they have all become obstacles that prevent the Federation forces from scouting deeper.

Although the previous nuclear strikes launched by the Federation against the occupied areas of the Empire had caused great damage to these obstacles, the area of 10,000 square kilometers was too large, and the terrain of the Mountains of the Gods was constantly undulating, and those obstacles could not all be exposed on the surface.

If you want to destroy the empire in this area directly with a nuclear strike, all the defensive obstacles are required by the commander-in-chief Ivanovich, who has no authority to use them directly.

Moreover, the nuclear strikes launched before were mainly aimed at those imperial forces that surrounded the Xinghe team, and the regional coordinates were relatively biased towards the direction where the Xinghe was located at this time.

The orbital airborne landing sites of the Galaxy Independent Regiment and the Azure Independent Regiment are the areas facing Ji Xinghe on the map. Then the troops were divided into four places, and the mecha forces that advanced up the mountain in the Gods Mountain Theater were united, forming four propulsive marching routes.

The mecha forces of the Holy Independent Regiment, the Trapping Independent Regiment, and the Bald Eagle Independent Regiment also participated in it. And under the command of the Theater Command of the Mountains of the Gods, a total of sixteen advance routes were formed.

Although they did not suffer a nuclear attack from the Empire, the resistance they encountered was very tenacious, and the number of losses already exceeded that of the Galaxy team I don't know how many times.

In this case, the formation-breaking effect that a mecha warrior like Han Li can exert is extremely important.

If the Galaxy team is still at its peak, it can ignore almost all firepower bombardments, and the national soldier armor with extremely high mobility ability is enough to improve the speed of advancement in the same way as a qualitative change.

But now, only Han Li, Su Chuanyun, Cripple, Liu'er, and Ying Luoqi are the only five people who can participate in the battle of the Galaxy team.

Fortunately, the top combat power of the empire, that is, Prince A and Duke A, seems to have really been annihilated by the Federation, even if there are a large number of Marquis A and Earl A participating in the war, but in terms of the total number, it is not as good as the elite Federation.

According to the deduction of the Gods Mountain Command, according to the current speed of advancement and the degree of interception of the Empire, it only takes three days for the Federation to be able to clear the surface of the Empire's occupied area and deploy enough detection devices.

Even if the entrance and exit of the Imperial Jump Base are not found during the advancement, it can be accurately carried out step by step later.

But will the Empire really give the Federation three days?

How much can an empire with a jump base and an imperial star increase in three days? Without mentioning troops, only firepower, how many missiles can be carried to alien planets through the jump gate that space warships can pass through?

The most important thing is that it will not take three days, as long as Emperor Wu III is sure that this jump base cannot be defended, then it will inevitably use nuclear weapons at all costs.

Ji Xinghe's proposal to use nuclear weapons to peel onions for the mountain of gods was rejected by the Federation. But when Emperor Wu III used nuclear weapons to peel onions for the mountain of gods, who could stop it?

It sounds good for the Federation, and most of the entrances and exits of the jump base will inevitably be exposed after peeling the onion, but the contradiction is that if the Federation does not launch a general attack, the Empire will not use nuclear weapons, and the jump base will not be actively exposed by the Empire. The Federation launched a general attack, and the Empire used a large number of nuclear weapons, and although the jump base would be exposed, the forces of the Federation to launch a general attack were very likely to be wiped out.

When both sides have nuclear weapons, where is the double law?

So, while the Federation forces were advancing and shrinking the Empire's occupation zone, no one in the various commands could laugh.

In addition to the increasing casualties, but also because all the advantages currently established by the Federation are in danger of being violently dismantled by the use of nuclear weapons by the Empire.

If you let the Gods Mountain Theater Command, or the Nantianmen Command and other command departments formulate a general attack plan, they may be able to formulate a more detailed plan, so that the Federation has more advantages. But it is also very likely that due to various reasons, we will be in a dilemma and unable to make a choice, let alone implement the general offensive plan.

Behind the existence of the Lord and the faction, it is not necessarily all greed for life and fear of death and interest appeals.

Even Yang Antai, who has always been very supportive of Ji Xinghe and one of the representatives of the main battle faction, was a little remorseful at this time, but just like Xingyue, he did not have the ability to set back time.

Moreover, even if he could really go back to the past, it might not stop Ji Xinghe from forcibly starting this decisive battle at the general attack level, because this was the only chance to start the decisive battle.

The remorse in my heart is just because I don't know the life and death of Ji Xinghe now.

He, like many others, prayed in his heart.

"Ji Xinghe, you must not die, if you die, then we will all lose."
