Seriously, wrapping is not the same as winning.

When the news of the cut off of the rear road reached the Kingdom army that was deep in the enemy's ranks, they did not panic because of this.

Although logistical supplies could not be transported for a while, there were more than 500,000 people in this encirclement 60 kilometers wide and 80 kilometers deep, and if the supply was cut off for a little longer, it would be easy for a complete and irrepressible collapse to occur.

But they don't think that's going to happen.

The cluster of twelve Knight Titans is still here, surrounding us around the back road?

It's not certain who surrounds whom!

Instead of continuing to maintain a forward offensive posture, they split up and headed behind them.

Six Knight Titans, together with more than 500 Sentinel Mechs, form the core of the battle, ready to recapture the lost rear positions. If conditions permit, it is best to be able to fight one or two more effective battles of encirclement and annihilation.

However, at this time, their nightmare came.

The Alliance's armies were ready to hold on as if they were fully aware of their plans.

Moreover, this time the alliance has no intention of retreating.

Even, they did not resort to relying on trenches, fortresses and the like to hold on and attrition in a positional battle with the kingdom army.

The tank units took the initiative, and the Sky Wind Falcon fighters ventured to reduce their altitude and began to provide fire support on the ground. In particular, when some enemy artillery positions in the rear are detected, it is often just a few missiles that bombard them, and if they are not completely defeated, they would rather risk being hit by those rocket artillery and anti-aircraft guns than use laser cannons to give him the remnants of the mountain artillery of the enemy's artillery positions.

And on the frontal battlefield, the total number of troops that the alliance invested on the battlefield to participate in the decisive battle was ten armored brigades.

They were numbered the 1st Wind Extinguishing Brigade, the 13th Armored Brigade, the 35th-38th Armored Brigade, and the 59th-62nd Armored Brigade.

These ten brigades, with a total strength of only more than 80,000 people, have brought together nearly 900 Lion tanks and more than 2,000 combat armored vehicles of various types!

There is no doubt that Perbov went all out, and regarded this battle as the most important battle on the Black Arrow Star.

A total of 600,000 people on both sides fought a fierce battle on a front about 60 kilometers wide, with brigades and regiments as the structure!

For the Kingdom Army, Armageddon came a little unexpectedly, exceeding their psychological expectations at the beginning.

Originally, at the beginning of the all-out offensive, they were mentally prepared to fight a big battle. However, after several days of overwhelming victories, they relented. Some fools think that the alliance army is nothing more than that, and some who are not stupid also tend to think that the alliance is not ready for a decisive battle with them, and choose to avoid the edge.

But they really did not expect that the alliance was not unprepared for a decisive battle, but decided to place the decisive battle when the encirclement was formed and the two sides exchanged offenses and defenses.

The current situation is also quite clear.

Either they gathered the coalition head-on and put it behind their ass, stabbing their assholes with ten armored brigades and smashing them all in one go.

Otherwise, they would have been wiped out in the encirclement without all supplies.

And at this critical moment, they were cowardly.

Mainly at the first time, they sent to the rear to deal with the encirclement, and there were only six Knight Titans.

According to the meaning of the commander of the kingdom army, it is not that they dare not fight a decisive battle, but before the decisive battle begins, the strength they have gathered is not enough.

First retreat these six Titans and the main force, and wait until the twelve Knight Titans are gathered, and then turn around and go back to fight this decisive battle, which will be more certain.

From some points of view, the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom Army could not have miscalculated, but the only thing he miscalculated was that he seriously underestimated the resoluteness of the Alliance's armored forces in this battle.

In this decisive battle, courage and morale are extremely important things.

Whoever is cowardly, then the slightest loss may lead to the collapse of the whole situation.

And this happens on the frontal battlefield.

After receiving the news of retreating and merging with the other six Titans, the six Knight Titans on the front line naturally did not choose to continue to attack and fight, and instead retreated.

But immediately afterward, the armored forces of the alliance had already advanced to a rather deep position.

The ordinary infantry who stayed behind to be in charge of the rear of the palace couldn't withstand such a big offensive pressure at all. In the rear, under the fire of self-propelled guns, their defense was already crumbling; By the time the armored vehicles really began to storm their fronts, they barely formed any effective resistance and collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, some of the core units of the Kingdom Army were attacked.

There were dozens of Sentinel Mechs, bitten by the Alliance's Rambler Infantry Chariot. Under the strong blow of hundreds of machine guns, those sentry mechs and the surrounding Kingdom Army infantry had to turn around to face the battle.

In a hurry, there was a relatively large gap in the number of the two sides, and they were suppressed very badly.

What's more, a little longer to fight, often in the rear of the coalition army, there will be batches of dense 155 howitzers.

The artillery battalions under the armored brigades of the alliance and the artillery support companies in the various composite battalions have fully upgraded the original towed artillery to self-propelled guns. The process of shifting, deploying artillery positions, and moving again has become much faster than in the past, allowing for smoother adaptation of armored forces to the enemy's rapid breakthrough and fire support in the rear.

At the moment, these firepower play a big role.

Under heavy artillery bombardment, the sentry mechs, who lacked cover in the retreat, were destroyed very quickly.

Especially when the exchange of fire is close enough that the Union infantry can also pose a great threat to them.

Those mortars belonging to companies and platoons, not much to say, the accuracy of this thing is not enough, in the face of the sentry mecha that is far more flexible than the tank, it is not easy to hit, and it can only be used to hit the cannon fodder infantry of the Kingdom Army.

But that's enough.

The more terrifying thing in the hands of the infantry was the heavy bombing gun.

One is a handful, and a few or more than a dozen shots are hit alone, and it is not a big problem; But if you are beaten by a string, then even a tank may not be able to carry it, let alone the armor thickness is much worse than that of heavy armored vehicles such as tanks.

Machine guns and explosive machine guns on infantry vehicles, heavy explosive machine guns for infantry companies, and long-range 155 heavy guns...... Dozens of sentry mechs and thousands of people of the Kingdom Army, under such a fierce firepower, could not withstand it for long, and soon completely collapsed.

There were not many who surrendered and fled, and most of them were wiped out on the spot.

After this happened many times in a row, the six Titans who were retreating also felt that something was wrong.

The blood loss was so severe that in less than half a day they lost more than 30,000 troops.

If these ordinary infantrymen are not worth their attention, after all, they are all some low-value cannon fodder. Then the loss of hundreds of Sentinel Mecha can no longer be ignored.

The Sentinel Mecha is also a very expensive and important fighting machine!

What's even more terrifying is that they are obviously just doing a regular tactical retreat, and they are shrinking their fists back, in order to be able to hit harder when they throw the next punch.

But looking at the way it is now, their tactics are retreating, and there is a tendency towards a total collapse.

The six of them Knight Titans gathered together to form this core area, which is not a big problem, but the other parts are at risk of being completely destroyed by the alliance's military fronts.

They couldn't help but start to get tangled.

Although their six Titans are the most important, if they lose all the other troops, it will not be good news in the next decisive battle. After all, if there are Titans alone, without the protection of infantry and sentry mechas, it is not easy for Knight Titans to exert their full strength, and it is easy to be caught and eliminated by others.

They discussed whether they needed to go back to support and gather their troops more together.

However, while they were still thinking about the so-called 'next decisive battle', for the alliance's army, the decisive battle had already begun, and it had already reached the climax of this stage!

While they were still hesitating, they were overtaken.

At the beginning, it was the 61st Armored Brigade, which was part of the Central Army of the Union, that appeared in their field of vision.

The reason why it can be recognized is that the brigade, as well as the battalions and companies under its jurisdiction, embroidered the number of their unit on the red battle flag, and fluttered high on the armored vehicles, which can be seen at once.

More than 60 Lion tanks were assembled in one place, each with a distance of about twenty or thirty meters. The tank guns were raised high, and as they went, they would shrink back from time to time, blasting high-explosive shells at Kingdom infantry or smashing a Sentinel with armor-piercing shells.

More than 150 infantry chariots accompanied and interspersed the perimeter, providing supplementary fire support.

The brave and elite infantry, instead of cowering behind, marched between the tanks and even in front of the armored units. They did not seem to be afraid of death at all, and with the support of tank guns and infantry chariots in the rear, accompanied by the fire of self-propelled guns further behind, they launched a coordinated attack.

Often after the heavy firepower was smashed, the royal army had not yet recovered from the deafening cannon fire, and the infantry of the alliance had already appeared in front of them only a few dozen meters away, and the cold muzzles of their guns were almost stuffed in their mouths.

In this case, the six Knight Titans finally reached an agreement.

We can't withdraw anymore, we have to turn around and fight.

In fact, there is no way to retreat.

At this distance, there were actually coalition self-propelled guns, bombarding howitzers on their bodies, only to be fended off by energy shields.

The six Knight Titans, who were determined to fight, were essentially pulled into a decisive battle without much psychological preparation in this situation.

But even though this is already the case, they are actually not sufficiently conscious at this time.

After all, there is only one brigade in front of them.

The mentality they had at the beginning was that they might still wipe out this brigade, or after temporarily repulsing, they would be able to continue to retreat and continue to gather the other six Knight Titans in the rear according to the commander-in-chief's advice.

As a result, their counterattack was quite weak.

They first fired a barrage of missiles.

These missiles did eliminate a lot of self-propelled guns in the rear of the 61st Brigade, and in a short period of time, greatly reduced the fire density of the alliance. Immediately after, they used self-loading howitzers on their arms to start shelling the Soyuz tanks.

Accurate artillery bombardment can really blow out a Lion tank with one shot. Moreover, the automatic loading and multi-barreled muzzle make their rate of fire quite fast.

After the 61 Panzer Brigade launched a counterattack on these Titans, it began to suffer heavy casualties.

However, it has to be said that the time when these Titans began to launch a counterattack was still a little too late.

The surrounding Kingdom Army troops have begun to disperse.

In terms of morale, what gave them the final blow was the number of the two armies, and at the same time, one left and one right appeared on the frontal battlefield.

Those were the 1st Wind Extinguishing Brigade and the 13th Armored Brigade.

These two brigade-sized units, combined, have three hundred Lion tanks.

When they came in groups, the tracks rolled up the yellow sand in the sky, bringing the atmosphere of the battlefield to the climax.

The voice of the Knight Titan resounded throughout the army. They worked hard to fire artillery shells, destroy tanks, and try to stabilize the morale of the whole army.

However, the results are not particularly ideal.

Eventually, tanks, armored vehicles, and even infantry units began to rush to a place not too far away from them, and at a distance of about a kilometer, they launched fire and engaged in a confrontation with them.

The energy shields on the six Titans continued to flicker, and the Alliance, while suffering huge casualties, forced these Titans to the point where they had to fight with all their might.

The distance of a kilometer, for the Titans, is already very close.

They weren't cowards either, and after a brief discussion of tactics, two of them began to move forward rapidly.

In addition to the long-range firepower, the Titans are equipped with gravity punches and super-giant chainsaw swords, which are even more terrifying weapons.

When they rushed into the tank cluster, a sword, a kick, a punch, a tank was scrapped.

The energy shield did have zero protection against close range, but they were accompanied by the Sentinel Mech, the most elite Kingdom soldiers, and the fire cover of the other four Titans in the rear. Under normal circumstances, the Alliance's armies would not be able to actively enter the Energy Shield at all.

They began to kill in all directions.

Then, suddenly, one of the most violent explosions broke out on the battlefield.

At the heart of the explosion was a close-quarters Knight Titan.

An elite squad wearing red power armor withdrew from the center of the explosion.

Naturally, they are the immortal birds.

Under the cover of the regular troops, after getting close to the Knight Titan, they quickly eliminated the protective Sentinel Mecha around them, installed hot melt bombs, and finally retreated!
