"Let's go find Lao Liu and them first, shall we? There's also one of your mechs there, and a few of our crew! Bai Jie said to Tom in the communication channel.

"It's good! In this situation, one more person is one more force! Tom replied cheerfully.

Without consulting Hank, the guerrilla leader on the robotic arm, Tom checked the navigator on the console and ran to the savannah with Bai Jie and Emma's mech.

After another hour or so, near noon, Tom and the others finally returned to the place where they parted with Lao Liu and the men in black in the kitchen yesterday evening.

Tom jumped out of the cockpit and searched around for a long time before he found the kitchen Lao Liu and the men in black in a small mud ditch nearby.

It turned out that Lao Liu in the kitchen and the men in black saw these three mecha running over from a distance, but they didn't know what kind of mecha this was, and Lao Liu's courage in the kitchen was already small, so he quickly called the men in black and hid in a small mud ditch next to him. If they hadn't heard the fat man's shouts, they would have been killed and would not have shown their heads.

When all the men in black climbed out of the small mud ditch, Bai Jie was pleased to find that when they left, only Lao Liu and eight men in black were left here, a total of nine people, and now there were thirteen people who climbed out, including Mike, the super driver of the action team!

It turned out that after Tom and Bai Jie left, a few men in black who were lucky enough to survive wanted to walk to the interstellar city in front of them, but they all happened to meet the kitchen boss Liu and a few of them here, so they all waited here together, waiting for their white boss to come back to pick them up.

Tom took out the flatbread he had brought out from the base kitchen from his backpack in the cockpit of the mech, and Emma and Bai Jie also took out compressed cookies from the mech and distributed them to everyone present.

I haven't eaten for a day and a night, and the old Liu in the kitchen and the men in black are obviously hungry and panicked, and they all gobble up the food regardless of whether it is delicious or not, and some people cough loudly from time to time because they choke on eating!

After the men in black finished eating, a group of people gathered together and sighed for a while, and Bai Jie quietly asked Tom: "Now that we are twenty or thirty people and four mechas, how are you going to save Annie and them?" ”

Tom sighed, he knew exactly what Bai Jie was worried about.

Now it is obvious that there are a large number of soldiers and mechs of the Vilia Imperial Blood Wolf Legion stationed in the city of Auckrantis, and if you want to go directly to the city to save people, I am afraid that with the few people in your hands now, it may not be enough to stuff people's teeth.

Looking around, the guerrillas who had just been scared by the Vilia Imperial Army were now full of worry and helplessness on their faces.

Although the men in black next to them had not yet experienced a battle with the Imperial Army, they also understood that they could not be the opponent of the regular troops of the Imperial Army with just a few energy pistols that they had brought out from the burned-out mecha.

"I know there are a lot of mechs in one place! However, how many of you can fly mechs? Emma next to her suddenly probed over and said.

"A lot of mechs? Where is it? Tom asked quickly.

"You're talking about that secret warehouse of our branch?" Team leader Hank asked rhetorically, frowning.

"Yes! Don't we still have a dozen Glory mechs there? Emma said.

It turned out that the guerrilla branch of the city of Bass had a very hidden secret warehouse on the outskirts of the city of Auckrantis before the Vilian Imperial Army fully occupied the planet. However, the exact location of this warehouse is known only to a few senior leaders of the partisan branch of the Basel Star.

However, after the complete blockade of Basel by the space and ground forces of the Blood Wolf Legion, the guerrillas in various interstellar cities began to have an embarrassing situation of lack of food and clothing, and no ammunition to replenish.

It was only at this time that the leaders of the guerrilla branch of Basel revealed the location of the secret warehouse to the guerrilla leaders of the various interstellar cities, and allowed them to go and receive some supplies and ammunition every once in a while to maintain the basic survival needs of the guerrillas in various places.

Emma had been to that warehouse with Hank, the team leader, so he had seen a lot of mechs in that warehouse. It's just that the guerrillas in Oakland City basically have no mech pilots after the total destruction of the Shok armored battalion, so every time they go to collect supplies according to the material replenishment plan given to them by the branch, they don't receive mechs again.

Because even if Hank and Emma bring back the mechs, Emma is the only one in the current guerrilla team who can open them. And to get the mechs from the secret warehouse on the outskirts of the city back to the underground base of the garbage disposal station, it is easy to be discovered by the Imperial Army along the way, so Hank's team has been keeping a quota of more than a dozen mechs in that warehouse.

"All of my crew can fly mechs!" Bai Jie said to Hank and Emma.

Hank, the team leader, looked at Bai Jie, then at the men in black next to him, and finally turned his head to look at Tom and did not speak.

Tom understood what Hank meant.

In this era of cosmic colonization, after more than 100 years of development, military mecha has already squeezed out the king of land warfare before the start of the cosmic colonization era - tanks, and has become an absolute weapon in the planetary ground war!

Mechs can make more than 70% of human body movements, and can run, jump, and climb with ease. Compared to tanks from ancient times, mechs can operate in more complex terrain environments and are no longer affected by ground infrastructure such as roads and bridges.

In addition, the reason why the mecha was able to eliminate the ancient king of land battle tanks was that in addition to the greater flexibility of the mecha, there was another important reason.

Because in this era of cosmic colonization, a completely new type of weapon of epoch-making significance has appeared - energy weapons. With the advent of energy weapons, the ancient weapons that were fired and exploded by traditional gunpowder have completely replaced them, and have become the standard armament of the armies of all countries in the universe today!

And, of course, with that comes the energy defense shield system.

Spear and shield always appear together!

If you have a more powerful energy cannon, you will have an energy shield with stronger defense.

However, if all the tank's guns are replaced with energy cannons, and then the energy defense cover system is added, then the duel of armored clusters may become a war that can never be fought.

And the appearance of the mecha immediately solved this embarrassing problem. Because in addition to energy cannons and machine guns, military mecha are generally equipped with alloy ion light knives and airborne missiles. Both weapons can ignore the opponent's energy shield system and directly attack the opponent's protective armor.

If you pit a tank equipped with an energy cannon and an energy shield system against a military mech, the tank that will be cut open or blown to pieces by a missile in the end will be a tank in the vast majority of cases. Because military mechs not only have alloy ion light knives and airborne missiles, they also have higher and stronger flexibility!

Moreover, today's military mechs do not inherit the weak air defense capabilities of the ancient tanks of the past. Equipped with airborne missiles, they have long ceased to be afraid of land-based fighters overhead. If there are fighters who want to attack mechs on the ground, then they have to weigh who has more numbers and stronger missiles!

Therefore, after the appearance of military mecha and energy weapons, tanks in ancient times gradually withdrew from the stage of human war history and became an exhibit in the military museum for people to remember forever.

After becoming the new king of land warfare, the military mecha was quickly sought after by the military of various universe countries. Nowadays, a cosmic military power, in the sky, looks at how many space warships you have; And on the surface of the planet, it's all about how many mecha troops you have.

Now there are only two mecha pilots on the guerrilla side, Tom and Emma, while there are a total of fourteen people on Bai Jie's side, and all of them can use mechas. If Hank wants to bring back all the mechas, he will have to equip them all to the puppet government. In this way, the military strength of the puppet government in the ranks will immediately form a crushing posture against the guerrillas, which is reluctantly accepted by the team leader Hank.

Because not so long ago, they were still fighting bloody battles with the army of the puppet government, fighting to the death. Moreover, in many battles, the puppet government army inflicted heavy losses on the partisans by relying on their outnumbers and excellent equipment, and the total annihilation of the Shok armored battalion is a good example!

"Let's put aside the old grievances for the time being! Now it's all about getting people out first! Tom sighed.

Hearing Tom's words, Hank and Emma next to him, as well as a dozen guerrillas, were silent.

It's hard to say whether Tom and Bai Jie, as well as the men in black, have had any subtle feelings when they get along day and night these days. But Hank's partisans knew that if they didn't rely on these puppet government people now, they would have no chance of rescuing their comrades.

Thus the first substantive joint military meeting of the Glorian partisans and the puppet government drew up the first battle plan in silence.

That is to use the mecha equipment in the guerrilla warehouse to the puppet government military investigation intelligence bureau operation team, and then the two sides will go into the city together to rescue the guerrilla logistics personnel and their families.

After the meeting, everyone rested for a while and ate something.

When setting off, Bai Jie still sat in the cockpit with Alita in her arms. Tom crawled back to Test Machine 2 and gave his Glory Mech to Mike. The guerrillas and the men in black each found a way to hang themselves on the mech. Then Emma's Glory Mecha led the way, and the improvised hybrid team began to slowly walk towards the secret warehouse of the guerrilla branch.

Why do you say slowly?

Because their Ah San-style car riding method has started again, now the bodies of the four mechs are full of people, and on average, there are at least seven or eight of them hanging on the outside of each mecha. If the mecha were to run at full speed, by the time they reached the secret warehouse, it was estimated that the people hanging outside would have almost fallen to their deaths.
