Chapter 108: North by Northeast (8)
The night came early in Yongyuan, and the day naturally came late. Xu Le gulped down the warm imperial food and nutritious meal, and under his slightly squinted eyes were the shadows painted by tiredness, this night he and Shang Qiu did not close their eyes, nervously carrying out the repair work, those sporadic gunfire that did not stop in the dark night, like irregular drumbeats interfered with him, and so on, he was tired from the mecha battle, and his spirit seemed even worse.
Hastily filled his stomach, grabbed a handful of cold snow beside him and wiped it vigorously on his face twice, feeling that his spirit seemed to be better, Xu Le did not immediately continue his machine repair work, but closed his eyes and silently ran the power in his body, so that those sore and tired muscle double fibers dilated and expanded, so as to recover his spirit as soon as possible.
Shang Qiu couldn't hold it anymore, so he lay down on the chair to take a nap, but he didn't want to give himself too much luxurious rest.
This ambushed Qinglong Mountain advance regiment can now rely on electronic telescopes to command the lower-level troops on this snowfield, but the two battalions on the Xuefeng side have not heard from each other, and the command system can be repaired one minute earlier, and the Qinglong Mountain troops can make an overall plan, and maybe a few young people from the Federation will survive.
He heard steady footsteps behind him, opened his eyes and didn't look back, lowered his head slightly and said apologetically: "I haven't given up repairing yet, but it can definitely be repaired, but I can't give it to you." ”
"I didn't mean to ask about that. Li Ming, the head of the Qinglong Mountain Advance Mission, replied with a smile.
He sat down on the snowdrift beside Xu Le, gasped twice, rubbed the withered hair, and continued: "Actually, before you arrived, I was already desperate. Of course, as the highest commander of the army, I could not have shown this desperation. Your presence gives us hope, and that is enough. ”
But we have to hurry. Xu Le glanced at the fierce wind and dark sun on the snowfield, and said worriedly: "The Imperial people may still be sleeping at this time, but they will definitely launch the most ferocious attack during the day." ”
Li Ming understood what he meant, the Imperial Expeditionary Force watched the two Federation mechs break into the battlefield yesterday, and naturally thought that the Federation's support force should arrive later, and they would definitely seize the last time and do everything possible to eat this Qinglong Mountain force.
"On the opposite side is a reorganized Imperial brigade, and I estimate that the strongest fighting force among the remnants of the old General Ambri has gathered around this snowfield. ”
Li Ming's gaze penetrated the wind and snow on the position, and shot directly at the imperial position in the distance, and said quietly:
"After two days and two nights of fighting, we were able to survive, in fact, all by electromagnetic beam bombs. Their mecha group has never dared to assemble Chongduo, I think it should be the commander of the other party who feels sorry for the last capital, and would rather exchange human lives for our lives. But our last ammunition base was already out yesterday, and although we bombarded a lot of their mechs, we couldn't solve this most fatal problem. ”
"It was a small night raid last night, and it is estimated that the Imperials are also assessing our ammunition reserves. Xu Le looked down at the snow next to his military boots and said softly.
"Actually, my heart has always been ...... Cough...... Cough...... There is a question. Commander Li Ming coughed twice, his brows furrowed painfully, and he covered his lips and said: "A reorganized imperial brigade, three times the strength of me, dozens or even hundreds of wolf-type mechas, looking at their crazy suicidal energy, they should not still cherish their feathers, I always feel that they are waiting for something." ”
"Encirclement and send reinforcements?" Xu Le shook his head and said, "The Imperial people are already dying, and their equipment and firepower are a few levels inferior to ours. They have managed to assemble such a reorganized brigade, and they must rely on God's help and excellent luck to surround you. If they have a big appetite to ambush the Federation's reinforcements, it is really stupid to the extreme, even if any of the three regiments of our division comes to us, the Imperials on the opposite side will definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Then how do you explain that the imperial people on the other side fought so badly, but they still refused to invest all the combat troops, and used this kind of oil fighting method like an idiot?" Li Ming stared at his eyes and said faintly: "Because you didn't grasp the mood of the emperor's ** officials at this time, they surrounded us, not to send reinforcements, but to fight the troops who came to support." ”
"Fight?" Director Xu frowned.
"After the Great War of the North-South Dividing Line, the main forces of the empire collapsed. The Federation army stormed north, and then suddenly slowed down in the past few months, and our troops slowly and calmly kept eating away at their living forces like peeling apples, relying on overwhelming equipment superiority, and even trapped them in the ice area. ”
"The people of the Empire have long known what their final fate will be, and this is a fact that cannot be changed at all, unless millions of troops on the Empire's own territory suddenly come from the space passage in battleships. Li Ming sneered: "Of course this is impossible. ”
"So they want to fight hard, they want to go crazy at the end. But the federal forces have always refused to give them a chance to fight hard, and the huge difference in strength between the two sides makes these remnants of the empire want to die happily but can't. ”
"Geomagnetic storms and blizzards come together, which is extremely rare, which gives them a chance to seek a happy death. So they not only want to eat my regiment, but also drag another regiment of the Federation in, even if they are defeated in the end, they will not hesitate to let our soldiers die a few more. ”
Xu Le looked at the wind and snow, silently listened to the analysis of the head of Li Ming, and wanted to mock those imperial people on the other side who wanted to die in a hurry, but a faint chill unexpectedly arose in his heart, treating himself so cruelly and crazy Emperor ** team, if the Federation attacked the empire in the future, what kind of terrifying attack would it encounter?
As if seeing his emotions at this time, Captain Li Ming said disdainfully: "Don't think too terrible about the imperial cubs, if the situation they are facing now is replaced by us, it is estimated that the choices are almost the same." ”
Xu Le thought for a moment, nodded and admitted this inference, being in a foreign land where he would die, there were countless enemies in front of him who were absolutely superior in equipment, and behind him there was only Haohan Space and a long and unscheduled journey home, and there were no warships, what a desperate feeling, if it was himself, he would definitely react like this.
In the space of 11 light feather-class warships suspended in a wide space without gravity, and in the background of the large-scale universe, the fleet that should have been magnificent seemed a little lonely and deserted?!!。
In the Federation's strategic deployment, the current first task of the Federation fleet is to prevent the Imperial fleet from coming out of the barren star field to support the three fallen star systems. Although these Imperial fleets from afar are technologically backward and have experienced six or seven years of dangerous interstellar journeys, they are simply no match for the Federation fleet, but in order to perfectly end the victorious military operation, the Federation still pays enough attention, and even the Second Fleet, which was originally stationed in the Gary Corridor, has been transferred to the Xilin Edge Star Domain, so most of the warships that have attacked the Imperial fleet in the three fallen star systems have also been transferred.
Among the gray-silver Federation command ships, Vice Admiral Yi Changtian, deputy commander of the First Military Region of the Federation, who had just arrived from the Mortar Galaxy and commanded the final battle, looked coldly at the brightly colored planet under the porthole, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and said: "All the troops participating in the battle above 40 degrees north latitude, stop taking turns and assemble immediately, and move closer to the geomagnetic storm area." !”
This was a large operational command hall, and when dozens of federal staff officers heard the order, they were slightly startled, and then immediately responded in a deep voice.
"That old thief in Ambrey wants to fight hard, and I don't want to give him a chance to fight hard. Commander Yi's eyes drooped slightly, and he continued: ", Tell Du Shaoqing and Yu Chenghai that their two divisions are the closest, don't move too slowly, don't be too gentle, smash your fists together, and don't even rub off a piece of oilskin in the end." ”
"Understood. The staff officer beside him made records, looked at the data prompt on the miniature working light curtain, and reminded with some hesitation: "According to the calculations of the charter computer, the duration of the geomagnetic storm is about ten to fifteen days. ”
"What does geomagnetic storms have to do with war?"
Commander Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at the young officers in the command hall and said, "Back then, we encountered a volcanic eruption on the Imperial Mouth Star and ionosphere mutations, and the battle is still the same. Could it be that the current troops, without charter computers as nannies, have become useless dolls? If this is the case, what will happen to the empire itself in the future?"
The respected general asked with a look of displeasure on his face, "Or do you think that the Imperial people will be tolerant enough to let us build a charter network little by little in their hometown?"
The officers bowed their heads and quickly walked to their workbenches, began to conduct tactical deductions through the charter computer, and at the same time sent the commander's orders to the federal troops at all levels on the planet's surface.
"I have just received a report from the 17th Division, and one of their regiments has been transferred two days ago, and two hours ago it entered the area of the geomagnetic storm, lost contact, and its condition is unknown. An officer approached with an anxious expression on his face and whispered.
"Very good, Yu Chenghai's troops, sure enough, there are still some flavors of the old Seventeenth Division, if you have to wait for the order of the headquarters at this time, it is really stupid to the extreme. But this time, the performance of the Iron Seventh Division made me disappoint. ”
Commander Yi turned around with his hands in his hands, stared coldly at the planet at his feet, stared at the dazzling white at the northern end of the planet, and was silent, as if he was not worried at all about the trapped Qinglong Mountain troops and the 17th Division of the 17th Division, which had no trace of follow-up support, as for Xu Le, who went to support first...... It didn't make his expression change in the slightest.
The veteran Imperial General on the ground tried to harness the power of nature to seek a heroic ending, but for the veteran of the Federation, this was not a wonderful opportunity to enter the Empire itself?
There was silence in the command hall, only the faint sound of electricity and the sound of fingers rubbing the touch light curtain sounded, and no one noticed that in the corner of the giant annular light curtain, the central government of the Federation was directly calculating the climate changes on the planet, not only calculating how long the geomagnetic storm and blizzard would last, it seemed to be more analyzing why such a problem appeared on this planet.
