The red dot on the metal detection radar decreased by one, but there was no joy in the eyes of Major Qin Chong, who was sitting on the command seat. Instead, there was a hint of worry.
A saturation attack of 200 missiles and a peripheral barrier constructed by ten self-propelled magnetic cannons can almost blow up an entire mecha company. According to past combat examples, it can at least cause more than 30% of the enemy's battle losses.
However, now it is a minuscule less than 5 percentage points.
Jiepeng's royal special mecha regiment is really strong.
The red dots were still moving at high speed. After entering the 10-kilometer area, the ion cannons, along with the magnetic cannons and missiles, began to bombard them. Finally, two more red dots disappeared.
But at this point, the most powerful long-range attack magnetic cannon lost its shooting angle, and the only defense was relying on the base's various close-combat defense weapons and the machine gun firepower of two mecha platoons and 100 heavy infantrymen.
The 21 mechas of Zhang Wutui's heavy assault mecha platoon, led by the Tang warrior he controlled, had left the protection of the tall alloy walls of the base and arrived at the first line of defense 5 kilometers away from the base.
They need to withstand the first wave of enemy mecha group attacks here, so that the various short-range defensive energy cannons and missiles in the base have more opportunities to attack the opponent. Otherwise, when the enemy mecha group comes to the city, then they will
They can only rely on brutal hand-to-hand combat.
One kilometer away from the 22 mechas, the flaps of the alloy thorns have bounced off. The thick alloy thorns are facing the sky at a 45-degree angle, showing a cold light. The function is similar to the deer repelling used by ancient infantry to block cavalry charges. It does not require anything.
The energy, relying solely on the impact of the spikes, can easily tear through the fourth-level armor. No mecha group dares to charge at full speed in front of such an alloy spike flap.
And without speed, various defensive artillery fire can teach them how to behave.
The six-meter-high steel alloy angle has also been raised to form a "barrier trench". 22 mechas are behind these trenches, waiting for the arrival of the Jiepen mecha group not far away.
The Qin Warrior mecha, which has only been in service for a few years, is painted in dark green paint that is favored by federal soldiers, but the metallic paint on the fuselage is covered with mottled wear marks. These are obviously not left by the wind and sand on Lafite Planet.
Yes, that represents the diligence unique to soldiers.
Just like veterans, calmly waiting for the war to come.
In fact, their drivers were not as calm as the calm Qin warriors beneath them.
They are human beings, they have emotions and feelings, and when faced with the unknown future, they will also panic and be anxious.
The huge steel giant leaned behind the alloy barrier, but some people's cockpits were still open. They took advantage of this gap to light a cigarette. The smoke dispersed when the wind blew, while the medium and long-range missiles fired from the base above their heads continued to scream.
It flew past, showing a steady white track in the sky.
The quieter it is, the more uneasy it feels.
Suddenly from calm to battle, the combat response plans they had practiced many years ago suddenly came into use, which made them still feel unreal.
Explosions in the distance kept coming, and the missiles overhead were still raging. The temperature of Lafite Star continued to rise after the rain. I don’t know if it was because of the corona explosion. The blazing sun of the star was spitting out more unbearable scorching heat than usual.
The heat makes people feel unexplainably suffocated outside the cabin.
A smoking mecha master looked up at the clear blue sky and murmured through the public channel: "Mi Xiaomei, I heard that you were born into a military family. Have you heard the elders say that we are about to have a war?"
Are you facing the bullshit Jepen Royal Special Mecha Regiment?"
Most of the mecha divisions on the front line had serious expressions in the urgent atmosphere of the impending war. At this time, they all pricked up their ears and listened to the 1st Squad Leader's questions to his soldiers.
Mi Xiaomei is the nickname of the corporal named Mi Si. A high school student who had already been admitted to a regular university stubbornly gave up the opportunity to go to college and joined the army because she peeked at her great-grandfather's diary on the eve of going to college.
And with the support of his 100-year-old grandfather, his wish was achieved.
Unexpectedly, the gap between dream and reality was too far. After the boot camp, a boy who was only 20 years old came to the most remote "outpost" of the Federation for unknown reasons. Looking at the long yellow sand outside the base, he cried within the first week of his arrival.
I had my nose done twice and successfully earned the nickname "Mi Xiaomei".
However, what surprised everyone was that the pretty "Mi Xiaomei" did not leave. Instead, she stayed at this border post for four years. Because of her hard training, she was a pacesetter every year and was successfully promoted from private to corporal.
If nothing unexpected happens, by next year, he may be recommended by Shuguang Military Base to enter the military academy for further study and enter the promotion channel for noncommissioned officers.
"Mi Xiaomei", who is usually a bit introverted, said after a moment of silence: "My grandfather is an orphan and grew up in a federal welfare institution. Because his father, my great-grandfather, had a relationship with the Jiepen people a hundred years ago.
died in the battle, and his mother also died of illness a year after hearing the bad news due to excessive longing and sadness.
He grew up without parents, only his father’s electronic diary before he went to war. It was only after I took a peek at his treasured diary that I decided not to go to college and become a soldier. My grandfather is already a hundred years old.
The old man, although he once put on the military uniform, has retired. He is old, and he can no longer embark on the road to find his father. My father is also too old to carry a sword and gun. As the only man of the third generation of the Mi family,
Naturally, I must be like them, wearing this dark green body, instead of going to college and becoming a white-collar worker in the future, and quietly enjoying the peace and quiet of the years.
Back then, the Federation and Jie Pen fought on the planet. Each side invested a total of 5 fleets in the starry sky, and each deployed dozens of mecha divisions on the planet to fight for control of the planet's surface. My great-grandfather was the one who entered the battlefield from the Federation.
A member of the 26th Armored Division, he is the major battalion commander of the 5th Regiment of the 26th Armored Division.
In that battle, the 26th Armored Division had the most glorious record among the federal land forces participating in the war, but it was also the most severely injured.
My great-grandfather’s diary records this: That day was January 1, the day when the Federation was founded. On this early morning, the 5th Regiment of the 26th Mecha Division, which was ordered to defend the No. 3 Highland on the flank of our 26th Division, met the enemy.
When the Jiepan people attacked, the Jiepan people organized up to 12 main charges for a whole day, but they were all repelled by our army. However, all the officers and soldiers were extremely exhausted, and the attrition was as high as 30%.
On the 3rd, our 5th Regiment was ordered to retreat, reorganized all the remaining troops of our 26th Mecha Division, and formed a new defensive position on Highland 7 after Highland 3, which served as the 6th Mecha of the friendly 3rd Mecha Division.
The main position composed of the 8th Mecha Division provides flank protection. At this time, our 26th Mecha Division has been reduced by 60%. The entire division can invest less than 500 combat mechas, and the enemy attacking us still has as many as one reorganized number after replenishment.
The strength of the mecha division.
But news came from the division headquarters that since the 6th Fleet has not yet eliminated the enemies in the starry sky, it is not yet known when the four mecha divisions coming to help will arrive. We can only rely on ourselves for this battle.
On the 4th, after a long offensive with no results, the Jiepen people used their last reserve force, which turned out to be the mecha troops of the Jiepen Royal Special Mecha Battalion. They were extremely powerful. I saw with my own eyes the newly reorganized 3rd Mecha Battalion.
After only blocking them for less than fifteen minutes, the entire army collapsed. And they were strong warriors who withstood the attacks of three Jiepen mecha battalions and held on for four days and four nights!
I'm sorry, Milda, my son, it's time for dad to go to the battlefield. Dad is an incompetent father. He has never held you since you were born. Perhaps, I will never be able to feel the softness of your little body in this life. What a pity!
When I think about this life, I regret that I can no longer accompany your mother to watch the bright starry sky! But, I have no regrets!"
At this point, Mis's delicate face was filled with tears, but his voice remained calm: "At this point, there are no more records in the electronic diary uploaded to the headquarters Zhi Nao by my great grandfather."
There was silence in the communicator, so quiet that you could hear the sand being blown by the wind and hitting the surface of the mecha, making a rustling sound.
The regret and lack of regret for his son and wife made everyone seem to go back to that hot war afternoon a hundred years ago, watching the major with his face full of gunfire solemnly write the last words on the electronic record board, and jump into the already scarred
The mecha, with its last soldiers, charged forward against the legendary powerful enemy.
Never returned.
Meese's story continues: "The Battle of Highland 7 was not considered a major battle in the entire battle. Everyone knows that the 26th Mecha Division fought the best and was the most tenacious among all the 48 Mecha Divisions that participated in the battle.
One of the three mecha divisions, but in the battle on Highland 7, how many people were killed and how many enemies were killed were not announced to the public.
Because, in the battle on Highland 7, the final surviving soldiers of the 26th Mecha Division had the same number as him, but there were only 26 of them. The remaining 2,000 people in the division from the major general commander on down were all killed on the battlefield.
The battle report records: The 26th Mecha Division, which held out on the high ground for four days and four nights, withstood the attacks of the two Jiepen mecha divisions in turn and caused countless casualties to the Jiepen people, deployed the Jiepen Royal Special Forces in the Jiepen Army.
After the mecha regiment had a mecha battalion, the battle situation took a turn for the worse. After the entire division held on for an hour, Mi Chengshan, the last colonel of the 26th Armored Division, died in battle, and the remaining 100 or so mechas in the division were defeated.
Mi Chengshan is my great-grandfather, and Mi Da in his diary is my grandfather, and he was only half a year old at the time. According to the memories of my great-grandfather’s surviving comrades after the war, the reason why they only survived in the end was that less than 30 of them survived.
It was the Jepen people who had won the offensive and defensive battles who seemed to be venting their anger after being blocked for four days on the 26th Mecha Division, which had lost its combat effectiveness and had been defeated at that time. Or maybe it was the Jeppen Royal Special Machine that they relied on as their trump card.
The mecha battalion of Regiment A was killed by more than 30 units by the struggling remnants of the 26th Mecha Division. During the entire collapse process, the 26th Mecha Division was constantly being followed and bitten by the Jiepen people with orders to kill and injure the effective forces.
, and fired at the mecha masters who escaped from the damaged mecha, resulting in very few survivors."
"Every mecha of the Jepen Royal Special Mecha Regiment has tasted the blood of federal mecha pilots. And I, a hundred years later, in the first real battle of my military career, I actually faced
Such an enemy..." Mi Si's face covered with tears suddenly smiled. "My grandfather who has passed away with regret, and my great-grandfather who died on the battlefield a hundred years ago, in heaven, will definitely feel very sorry for me.
I am proud."
Then, the Qin warrior under the control of Misi stood up straight and saluted a military salute into the void. This was what the centenarian man lying on the hospital bed told him in the video before he said goodbye to his family and was about to enter the new barracks.
present.
Seeing Meese's military salute, the soldiers of the heavy assault platoon, including Zhang Wutui, who had been silent and calm with his eyes closed, all drove their mechas and stood in a row under the alloy wall, facing the wind and sand.
Amid the screams of missiles overhead, he saluted toward the distant sky.
military salute!
Warrior's gift!
The soldier from a hundred years ago seemed to be above the sky, with a very different look in his eyes.
They already know what they should do.
On the ground in front of me, there was a sound of "dong", "dong" and "dong" like drums.
