Anne and fifty or sixty logistics personnel, as well as family members, were all captured by the soldiers of Kuroda's squadron!

More than a hundred Imperial soldiers and three skeleton mechs from Kuroda's squadron chased the garbage heap mech and ran into a grove of trees. But after the Kuroda squadron followed it around a few more times, the garbage heap mech, which was slippery than a loach, was gone.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army searched the vicinity for a while, but found nothing. So the three squad leaders of Kuroda's squadron and the soldiers discussed it together, and decided to give up the attack on the abandoned garbage disposal station for the time being, and prepared to go back to the barracks to report the news of Major Kuroda's capture and disappearance.

On the way, just as the soldiers of Kuroda's squadron were despondently thinking that they were going to go back empty-handed today to be scolded by the co-captain, they were lucky enough to encounter a strange team of almost all women, old people and children in the woods.

When they first met, there were a few people in that strange group who pulled out their pistols and fired a few shots in their side. But the soldiers of the Imperial Army soon discovered that none of these men were professional fighters.

Soon, those who dared to shoot at the Imperial Army were all killed by the Imperial soldiers, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they no longer dared to resist in the slightest.

Then the soldiers of Kuroda's squadron happily escorted the men back to the barracks. Because they found that there were several beauties among these people, especially the little girl in the lead, who had a perfectly developed body and a spicy temper, and would definitely be able to meet the appetite of their co-captain!

Although the battle in the garbage station just now did not completely annihilate the gang of rag guerrillas, and Major Kuroda himself was captured by the other party, the task assigned to them by the wing captain today was finally completed.

As for the search for Major Kuroda, let's wait until we go back and see what the wing captain has to say! In fact, the soldiers of Kuroda's squadron have long seen that the wing leader doesn't like Major Kuroda very much, so he is often scolded by the wing captain for all kinds of reasons!

Moreover, the three squad leaders of the Kuroda squadron are secretly making their own little calculations in their own hearts. Now that Major Kuroda is gone, will the Wing Commander choose one of the three of them to temporarily take the position of Squadron Leader? Is it possible that such a good thing will happen? Will you be the lucky one?

So in this case, the soldiers of Kuroda's squadron did not return to the garbage station to fight the guerrillas, but escorted Anne and they left the forest as quickly as possible.

By the time Hank's partisans slowly found the area, the soldiers of Kuroda's squadron had already escorted people away.

Before dawn, Tom found a secluded glade on a hill near the garbage disposal and sat down.

The Glory mech next to it was covered by a tree branch that he had chopped back, and the engine was turned off to prevent sound and heat from being detected by the thermal imager.

On a large tree in front of him, Major Kuroda was tied to a thick trunk with a pair of his own stinky socks in his mouth.

The fat man took out a couple of meatloaf from his backpack and nibbled on it while drinking wine from the kettle.

Just now, he drove the mecha to grab Major Kuroda and desperately escaped, in fact, it was to attract the mechs and soldiers of the Imperial Army to chase after him. Only then would the guerrillas have enough time to retreat and meet Anne and them.

However, Tom never expected that the driving skills of the three skeleton mechs who followed after him were so bad that they only ran for more than ten minutes, and after entering a small forest, they were accidentally thrown away by themselves.

When Tom found that none of the pursuers behind him were gone, he drove the mecha back and looked for a long time. But the woods were too big, and it was night, and everywhere was dark, and he searched for a long time, but in the end he could not find the shadows of those imperial troops.

Tom drove the mech back to the garbage dump, where there was no one. He went into the underground base again to look for it, and there was no one inside.

In desperation, Tom had to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, pour another pot of wine, and then replenish the energy and ammunition of the Glory Mecha, and then grabbed Major Kuroda and ran out of the garbage station.

He didn't dare to wait in the garbage dump, because those imperial troops could summon their large forces to kill a horse pistol at any time, and it would not be fun to be locked down and beaten in it at that time.

Out of the garbage station, Tom wandered around the neighborhood for a long time, but still no one was found. It was still dawn, so Tom had to stop at a slightly higher hill nearby, intending to rest and eat something before going back to Hank.

The fat man didn't dare to make a fire, but just drank wine and gnawed on the cake. If the flames provoke the large forces of the Vilia Imperial Army to close the mountain, the lone himself can only be a dead end. A fat man with a lot of battlefield experience, of course, would not do such a stupid thing.

I wonder how Hank and Emma are doing now? And Anne and Bai Jie, did they both escape safely?

Since he was captured by the puppet government's army, he hadn't had direct contact with the guerrillas for a long time, until he suddenly ran into Emma and them last night. So now Tom doesn't know where the guerrillas' alternate hiding place will be, which makes him feel distressed.

The dark woods were silent, except for the occasional chirping of insects in the grass. At this time, even Major Kuroda, who was tied to the trunk of the tree, tilted his head and dozed off.

Tom was also very sleepy, and after fighting in the middle of the night, and running around a few laps looking for someone, he was also tired. But he tried to stare at his eyes and not let himself fall asleep, because his intuition told him that the danger around him had not yet been lifted.

At this moment, suddenly there were several sporadic energy cannonball explosions from a distance! And soon, the explosions became intensive!

Tom sprang up from the ground with a smack, and carefully discerned the direction from which the gunfire was coming from with his ears sideways!

Soon, he was sure that the explosions were coming from the garbage dump at the foot of the mountain!

Tom hurriedly ran up a nearby cliff, and sure enough, he saw the faint glow of a cannonball exploding in the woods near the garbage dump below!

It must be that those Imperial armies are back!

Tom quickly ran back and climbed into the cockpit of the Glory Mech, and roughly ripped the rope from Major Kuroda's body, tied him to his mech's left arm, and then drove the mech down the hill as fast as he could.

It was indeed the guerrillas such as Hank and Emma who exchanged fire near the garbage dump! They searched the woods and hills around the garbage dump for most of the night, but could not find any trace of the logisticians or family members. The anxious partisans refused to give up, and just as they returned to the underground base to replenish their ammunition and prepare to come out to continue their search, they unexpectedly encountered the Imperial Army again.

This time it turned out to be a large group of Imperial troops, more than a thousand people! It also includes a squadron of mechs, with a full thirty skeleton mechs!

On the guerrilla side, only Emma and Bai Jie can drive mechas, and the other forty or so guerrillas only have light weapons such as energy rifles or submachine guns in their hands, and there are not even a few light machine guns!!

In desperation, Hank commanded the partisans to rush out of the garbage dump, delusionally thinking that they could run away one by one. But soon, they were still surrounded by more than a thousand Imperial troops in the grove not far from the garbage dump!

Colonel Takahashi Ryuhei sat in his special Scorpion II medium command mech, indifferently watching the Imperial soldiers in front of him, brutally and mercilessly shooting the rag-like guerrillas to the ground one by one.

Colonel Takahashi is the nephew of Major General Naoto Hashimoto, the commander of the 3rd Wing of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Blood Wolf Regiment of the Imperial Army of Vilia, and is only 28 years old this year, which can be said to be one of the youngest colonel officers in the Imperial Army. During Colonel Takahashi's lifetime, he had every chance to follow in his uncle's footsteps and hang a glittering golden star on his epaulettes.

Takahashi Ryuhei can only be regarded as a relative of the Hashimoto family. Therefore, in the Hashimoto family, he did not receive the same preferential treatment as his peers who were born with the surname Hashimoto, and he did not inherit any titles.

Fortunately, Colonel Takahashi's mother, Hashimoto Arina, is the marquis of the current empire and the second daughter of Admiral Hashimoto Masanobu, but she changed her husband's surname to Takahashi Arina only after she got married.

Although there are no big names in the Takahashi family who are involved in the military world, the Takahashi family has been a businessman in the energy trade for generations, so it can be regarded as a small family in the aristocratic circle of the empire.

Therefore, Colonel Takahashi Ryuhei never lacked money when he was a child, and when he had not graduated from the military academy, his mother bought him the title of viscount. After graduating and entering the Imperial Army, Takahashi Ryuhei climbed to the throne of colonel captain at a young age with the strong support of his grandfather and uncle!

Today, Colonel Takahashi Ryuhei had just finished dinner with his mother Hashimoto Arina at home, and was about to take a bath in the hot spring bath in the back garden of the villa together, when he suddenly received an order from his uncle, Major General Hashimoto Naoto himself, to immediately lead his brigade to urgently dispatch to the outskirts of the city to round up a group of rebels.

Colonel Takahashi, who had just taken off his pants and went into the water, was very unhappy to put his pants back on, said goodbye to his mother Hashimoto Arina, and hurried back to the barracks to assemble the team.

More than an hour later, Colonel Takahashi led his entire brigade of men and horses, led by a squadron leader of Kuroda's squadron, to this abandoned garbage disposal station on the outskirts of the city.

Colonel Takahashi, who was still very upset, immediately ordered his soldiers to immediately annihilate all these guerrilla rebels, and not a single one was left alive!
